Fastest 50: Turnstone Custom Homes
Turnstone Custom Homes
CEO: Harvey V. Ryan
Location: Rehoboth Beach
Turnstone Custom Homes is a design/build solution for discerning buyers seeking a quality custom home or luxurious renovation at the Delaware shore. We are based in Rehoboth Beach, but our reach extends throughout coastal Sussex County, Delaware — from Broadkill to Fenwick and the inland bays. Our in-house design/build capabilities mean clients can rely on one company to envision and construct a design that works for them — functionally, aesthetically and financially.
What have been the biggest obstacles your company has faced over the past three years, and how did you overcome them?
(1) Employee turnover. We have learned to hire slow, train obsessively, and fire quickly when necessary; (2) earning a reasonable gross margin on our work. We have vastly improved procurement processes and adherence to project schedules and become more selective about projects; (3) material costs — there's not much we can do about tariffs, but we have included contractual provisions to protect us from rapidly rising material costs; and (4) availability of competent trade partners. We have expanded and upgraded our trade partner base.
Looking back, what's the biggest mistake you made and what would you do differently if you could?
Assuming too much. When you are building a unique custom home, you can't take anything for granted. In retrospect we would have built more robust systems and processes earlier (we have them now). Our philosophy now is trust but verify.

Pennsylvania Veterinarian, Dr. Elizabeth McKinstry Contributes to Book, "Shamrock's Story," About Canine Cognitive Dysfunction
Dr. Elizabeth McKinstry, Veterinarian located at 550 Schoolhouse Rd, Kennett Square, PA, was a major contributor to F. Barish-Stern's book about Canine Cognitive Decline, "Shamrock's Story, From Hurricane Katrina to Doggy Dementia & Alzheimer's" published by Golden Quill Press and is very aware of the need for pet parents to learn more about cognitive issues in their dogs.
Cognitive issues in dogs is why Barish-Stern set out to write this book after experiencing this disease with her dog, Shamrock. She had had 9 dogs and never knew dogs got dementia. "Shamrock's Story," is the culmination of what she learned in over 50 interviews with experts, like Dr. McKinstry in order to help pet parents understand more about cognitive issues in their dogs, such as Early Preventions, Recognition of Signs and Treatments.
Dr. McKinstry is proud to participate in this informative book and is committed to helping cats, dogs, and horses live better, happier and healthier lives. Her office practices integrative medicine, employing the best of both Western and Eastern veterinary medicine. While they primarily practice Western medicine, they also use Chinese medicine to enhance treatment if the doctor and owner agree it is the right course of treatment.

Coalition parties plan for more affordable housing in Amsterdam
Finding an affordable house in the capital can seem like a nightmare. Whilst the Netherlands has strict tenancy laws such as rent caps in the public sector, many people who move to the Netherlands are often left looking in the free sector where housing prices constitute a large portion of one's income.
Reserved housing
Most of the housing in the Netherlands is reserved with just over 10 percent that falls into the middle-priced bracket. This category includes housing for professionals such as nurses and teachers who don't earn over the threshold to qualify for large contingent social housing, and not enough to afford houses available in the free sector.
Furthermore, these groups stand little chance when it comes to buying a home in such a competitive industry. For this reason, coalition parties D66, VVD, SP and opposition party CDA will be submitting a motion April 6 in hopes that it will help manage the issue.
Discount plan
Whilst the parties agree the issue is a difficult one to tackle, particularly as prices rise as soon as a medium-priced property comes onto the market, they have proposed a system whereby developers are given a discount.
D66 drafted the resolution with support from coalition partners VVD and SP. CDA has also signed the motion.
"It is crucial to the mixed character of our city that average families can continue to live here," stated D66 leader Reinier van Dantzig, "Unfortunately, those houses are not in many places."
To encourage the construction of medium-priced homes the city council will give developers discounts on obtaining land if they then promise to keep the prices in the medium-priced range.
It has also established requirements to do with the size of the house indicating that it must be suitable for families. Developers must also only offer the houses to tenants with specific income brackets to ensure that they stay reserved for those middle-income groups.

What matters in tech, in your inbox every morning.
December 20, 2020
Good morning. This Sunday, it's time to look back at this very long year that's almost over. Nothing about 2020 has gone the way we expected, and as always we hope you're safe and well heading into the end of the year. To mark the moment — and to try to jog our memories a bit — we rounded up some of the best tech stories on the internet from the last 12 months. (And we tried to keep it to the stuff that still feels relevant and worth reading now.)
Seeing as it's also the end of Protocol's debut year — we launched Feb. 5, in the halcyon days of the Before Times — we thought this was also a good time to look back on some of our favorite Protocol stories of the year. Some broke big news, some illuminated people and stories we needed to know more about, all are really good and important tales. Hopefully there's some good holiday reading in here for you.
Oh, and also! Since this is the last weekend edition of the year, I want to take a second to thank the whole Source Code crew — Anna Kramer, Shakeel Hashim and our editor Jamie Condliffe — for all the work they do making this newsletter far better than I ever could. I don't say this enough, but Source Code is the result of a ton of work from the whole Protocol team, especially those three, and I'm incredibly lucky to work with them all.
As always, let me know what you think, and what you'd like to see more of in our weekend edition. I'm email@example.com, or you can just reply to this email. Thanks! On to the good stuff.
(Was this email forwarded to you? Sign up here to get Source Code every day.)

A tiny team of House staffers could change the future of Big Tech. This is their story, by Emily Birnbaum
- With so much antitrust action coming against Big Tech, it's tough to know what's real and what's posturing. This group is doing some of the Hill's most real work.
Through apps, not warrants, 'Locate X' allows federal law enforcement to track phones, by Charles Levinson
- Babel Street's tech became a recurring story this year, led by this investigation into how the government tracks its citizens, and how a complicated system makes that possible. And profitable.
From McDonald's to Google: How Kelsey Hightower became one of the most respected people in cloud computing, by Tom Krazit
- Kelsey Hightower's story is both inspirational and unusual, and his career says a lot about what a more diverse, more effective tech industry looks like. Hightower's also working hard to make that happen.
Silicon Valley's new extreme: The 2:30 a.m. tech bus from Salida, by Lauren Hepler
- There are a lot of ways to understand what's been happening in Silicon Valley — and why a lot of people and companies are thinking about leaving — but the tech employees forced to live hours outside the city they work in tell the story pretty effectively.
How one woman is building the future for Google in Silicon Valley, by Anna Kramer
- While so many companies are fleeing the Bay Area, Google is staying. Actually, it's doubling down. But there's a thin line between investing in your community and steamrolling it — and a few very important people are trying to keep Google on the right side.
How COVID-19 rewrote Y Combinator's Winter 20 Demo Day, by Biz Carson
- It's been a weird year to be a startup, huh? There are good lessons for founders, investors and frankly everyone in what happened at Y Combinator this year, as it tried to figure out how to maintain a community and help guide startups through a pandemic.
How Discord (somewhat accidentally) invented the future of the internet, by David Pierce
- Everything about the way we interact online changed this year. And while Zoom became 2020's buzziest chat company, Discord might be the closest to actually perfecting what it means to live a virtual life.
Alloy promised Democrats a data edge over Trump. The DNC didn't buy it. Now what? By Issie Lapowsky
- As tech companies told us a lot this year, it's always an election season on the internet. And more than ever, data — who has it, how they get it, how it's used, how much you can trust it — is a huge part of the process. But data, as one company spent millions of dollars learning, is a tricky thing in the real world.
Why Microsoft's new Flight Simulator should make Google and Amazon nervous, by Seth Schiesel
- Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to be great, and was decidedly not great. The new Flight Simulator, on the other hand, was even better than advertised, and was also an indicator of how the cloud and big data are going to change how games work.
How Google kneecapped Amazon's smart TV efforts, by Janko Roettgers
- One of the most forceful antitrust accusations against Google is that the company spends a lot of money to cement its dominance and bullies partners into helping it do so. This story — about how Google uses Android as a weapon — encapsulates that perfectly.
A MESSAGE FROM MICRONAt Micron, we see an opportunity to establish memory and storage platform capabilities that will unleash software developers to deliver solutions that speed insight and ultimately support emerging customer requirements. The data-centric era has ushered in a new opportunity to tap data for business growth, but many companies continue to struggle to transform mounting data stores into competitive advantage.
Best of Everything Else
"The intelligence coup of the century" – The Washington Post
- This is a story straight out of a Tom Clancy novel, about the CIA secretly selling encryption tools to other countries while keeping a backdoor for itself. But it's true. And what that meant for decades of global espionage is pretty incredible.
The inside story of MacKenzie Scott, the mysterious 60-billion-dollar woman – The Market
- After her divorce from Jeff Bezos, MacKenzie Scott has embarked on a genuinely remarkable string of philanthropic giving. She's writing a playbook that everyone with money should be learning from, both in terms of how to give and how to do it well.
The 8th Wonder of the World* — The Verge
- What happened with Foxconn in Wisconsin is one heck of a cautionary tale. In local government, running a company or staking your fortunes on big job-creation promises? You should read this carefully.
The panopticon is already here – The Atlantic
- China is often made out to be a mysterious bogeyman, a country with different values and plans that are hard for outsiders to understand.

How Pfizer delivered a COVID vaccine in record time: Crazy deadlines, a pushy CEO — The Wall Street Journal
- The existence of COVID vaccines is an enormous, incredible achievement. This story dives into what it takes — and what it costs, in all senses — to make that happen.
Is Twitter going full resistance? Here's the woman driving the change. — POLITICO
- Vijaya Gadde belongs near the top of this year's list of "most important people whose names you don't know." She's leading the charge to figure out how Twitter handles politics and keeps users safe, and seems to be pulling away from social media's free-speech-anything-goes roots.
Huawei, 5G and the man who conquered noise — WIRED
- 2020 was the year 5G took over! Just kidding. But the technology is more real and more important to understand than ever, not to mention at the center of a geopolitical arms race to control the future. This story does a good job of making sense of all of it.
The conscience of Silicon Valley — GQ
- You should pretty much always listen when Jaron Lanier speaks, especially when he's trying to identify a human-first vision for the future of technology. I can't remember a story from this year that made me nod more often, or highlight more quotes, than this one.
India's engineers have thrived in Silicon Valley. So has its caste system. – The Washington Post
- This year was full of long-overdue conversations about bias and corporate culture. But we're only starting to understand how many forms those things take, and how long it will take to begin to rectify them all.
Taking back our privacy — The New Yorker
- Encryption will change the internet, for better and for worse. Signal's encryption systems appear to be becoming the industry standard, and Moxie Marlinspike is leading Signal's charge. The way he talks about bringing "normalcy" back to the internet will be one of the most important conversations of 2021.

The mojito is a marriage of zesty citrus and mint with a touch of sweetness. This refreshing combination makes the mojito a favorite summertime cocktail. On July 11, celebrate National Mojito Day with this essential oil-infused mocktail recipe.
How'd the Mojito Come to Be?
The mojito originated in Havana, Cuba. Supposedly, Sir Francis Drake's crew members went ashore in Cuba seeking a remedy for an outbreak of scurvy and dysentery on the ship. They returned with limes, which are rich in vitamin C and an effective treatment for scurvy, "burning water", which was essentially a rum/sugar mixture, and mint. The story goes that this was the first marriage of these ingredients. At that time, the drink was dubbed "El Draque" after Mr. Drake.
Later on, sometime in the 19th century, the drink was renamed mojito, which may be a variation of the Spanish word mojado, which means "wet." Some sources say the mojito was a favorite drink of Earnest Hemingway. Whether or not this is true, it lends a bit of sophistication and class to an old favorite.
Cheers! and Happy National Mojito Day!
As always, when choosing your essential oil for this recipe, make sure it is labeled safe for ingestion.

Follow this map of erogenous zones for your partner's ultimate pleasure.
By Pleasure Mechanics and Karen Jones and Tina Schermer-Sellers — Written on May 04, 2016
Photo: weheartit
You know the obvious turn-on spots on your partner's body, but to give him/her as much pleasure as possible you need to venture beyond the obvious. The entire human body is designed for pleasure, so explore every inch of your partner's body with curiosity and pay attention to his/her responses.
We asked three of our experts to reveal some of the most overlooked spots on the body that your partner is dying for you to touch. Here's what they had to say:
1. The hands and wrists are great spots to begin seducing your lover's body.
"Explore the full range of pressure, from lightly grazing your partner's fingertips with your own, to tightly squeezing their palm. Explore stimulating your partner's hands with your mouth. Suck on fingers, flick your tongue on his/her inner wrist and (if you're feeling a little more frisky) nibble on his/her fingers until your partner gasps!" —Pleasure Mechanics
2. For women, the most important erogenous zone is her eyes.
"Can she see her own reflection in your eyes? Let her see you attend to her body as you touch, taste, kiss and caress her body. Let her see your intention through your eyes. Hold her eyes as you slide your hand down her chest and hold your open hand over her heart." —Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers
3. The element of surprise is sexy.
"For one of my clients, when her man comes up behind her, lifts her hair up from the back of her neck and nibbles right below her hairline, it makes her lose her mind (and in the best way)." —Karen Jones
4. Treat them to a nice foot massage.
"The feet have long been regarded as one of the most intimate body parts (and with good reason). Your feet are actually closely linked in the brain with the sexual system. Learn how to give your partner a great foot massage. Some people even like to suck on toes and lick the arch of the foot. With some practice, you'll learn how to lavish your partner's feet with attention without tickling them." —Pleasure Mechanics
5. Suck and nibble on their neck.
"You don't have to give your partner hickeys to take advantage of how sensitive the neck is. Let a single finger trail down the skin of the neck as you pleasure your lover down below. Scratch lightly with your fingernails, extending your stroke right down onto the shoulders and chest. Lick and lightly nibble the neck, being careful not to leave a mark. Most people don't like heavy breathing right in their ears, so pay attention to your exhale as you explore this area."—Pleasure Mechanics
6. Build the tension by going slow.
"Go slow — the slower the better! Have him close his eyes and feel your lips kissing his eyelids and forehead. Look into his eyes. Move agonizingly slow. Trace a line. Tease. Build the tension." —Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers
7. Lick a super-sensitive area on her body.
"One of my clients loves to have her man lick the back of her knee very slowly and sensually (right where the leg bends). She feels the tingles go right up her leg, and feels waves of pleasure moving throughout her body." —Karen Jones
8. Stimulate the spine with your tongue.
Related Stories From YourTango:
"The spine is the superhighway of the nervous system, so stimulating the spine can create intense full body sensations. Try running your tongue directly up the spine, all the way from the sacrum to the head. The sacrum (the flat triangular bone at the bottom of the spine) is another amazing area to explore. Massage all around the edges of the bone to release tension and create more blood flow." —Pleasure Mechanics
As you can tell, an erogenous zones isn't as simple as your privates; it can be any area of the body especially sensitive to stimulation. Your partner's body is one big erogenous zone, so explore, touch, caress and tantalize the hotspots we've exposed. (You can thank us, later.)

Sometimes you just forget that you have an essay due. It's much worse when you have just an hour or two to complete your essay. It's not only crucial to write fast enough but also to make sure the quality of the work is also high. Seems to be impossible? Maybe. However, we can still help you out with a challenging task like this. Here are a few tips on how you can finish an essay in an hour.
Start As Early as You Can
It's pretty obvious – once you realize the deadline is so close, you don't want to waste any precious minutes. That's why you should start right away. But don't panic. Simply follow easy steps on how to start working on your essay without wasting time:
- Read the task carefully. Be sure you understand what you need to write about. The main mistake many students make at this point is that they don't pay enough attention to all of the requirements. It's easy to miss some key parts of the task when you are in a rush.
- Explore the material you find through research. Research is a crucial step in the process of writing an essay. Search for articles and research papers that you can find on the topic to understand the basic aspects that you want to cover up in your paper. You might also need to find some interesting facts, statistics, etc. Adding some details from credible sources will make your paper much more specific, which is great compared to using general phrases and data.
- Create an outline. Don't omit this step even if you are in a hurry. An outline helps you structure your paper and all the key points that should be presented in the paper. When you work on your essay without an outline, it's much more difficult to create a logical flow of your thoughts and twice harder to work with evidence and arguments. Your outline might be created in the form of questions that you answer in the process of your work, a bunch of ideas that you came up with during the brainstorm, or as a list of the key points and thesis statements.
So, by the end of the first half of an hour, you should already have some ideas in your head, supporting evidence that you want to use in your paper and an outline that you can work with.
Don't Forget about the Structure and Thesis Statement
Now, you can start writing your essay. If you have completed all the previous steps, it should not take much time for you to complete the first draft of the one-page essay in a matter of 15-20 minutes. Just follow your outline and complete it by adding some evidence and details that you find suitable for the topic and for the statements that you use in your work. For example, you might want to support some of your ideas with stats or social questionnaire results that you have found – it's a great touch and always adds some points to the final grade for your paper.
A thesis statement is the core of your work; it should be created alongside your outline and sum up the work itself into one neatly worded sentence. However, it's not always possible to start with a thesis statement, especially when you don't have an idea completely formed in your head. That's why you might want to start writing your paragraphs and come back to the introduction part later to finish it and add a thesis statement that would fit your thoughts.
Avoid Distractions
While you are working, it's crucial to avoid various distractions, such as phone calls, texting, or talking to the people around you, as it takes much of your productivity away and also leaves you with less time for the work itself. You might want to take a break during this hour, and usually, it's a great practice that helps keep your productivity high. However, when you have such an intense and challenging task, we recommend avoiding breaks and concentrating on your paper to complete it faster.
Have Time for Proofreading
You should always remember that you should also leave some time for reviewing and editing parts of your work. That's why the earlier you finish it, the more time you have to polish your essay and make sure the punctuation and grammar are on point.
You don't have to do it all by yourself, as there are multiple online tools that will help you proofread your paper. Grammarly is the most commonly used plugin that can find errors in your text or edit style mistakes that you have missed. It's also much faster and effective than trying to proofread your paper in a rush. However, you should also read your paper one more time after using such tools as they might not edit all the mistakes.
As you can see, it's not that hard to write an essay in one hour, though we would recommend you to plan your time and complete assignments long before the deadline. If you too many things to take care of, you can delegate your academic assignments to our team as we are specialists at managing the toughest deadlines and the most challenging papers.

On Wednesday night, the Chicago Bulls (21-6) visit the hapless New Orleans Hornets (4-21) in a matchup of first versus worst. The Bulls enter the game with the NBA's best record, while the Hornets limp into the game with a seven-game losing streak. The Bulls would be wise to stay diligent on Wednesday night, though, as the Hornets' four wins have come against relatively strong teams -- the Orlando Magic, Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns.
More: Rose plans to play tonight
Guard Jarrett Jack leads the Hornets offensively. In his 757 minutes played, Jack has averaged 15.7 points and 6.8 assisting per 36 minutes. The team also relies heavily on the play of C Emeka Okafor, who leads the team with a 7.8 rebounds per game average.
The biggest news of the evening will surround the Bulls' star point guard Derrick Rose, who has been struggling with injuries in the 2011-12 NBA Season, and left Monday night's game with back spasms. Rose leads the Bulls with an impressive 22.7 points per game rate and a 7.9 assists per game average.
Gametime: 7:00 PM CST

Learning to Survive the Jungle
Machetes. Jaguars. Late nights in the jungle. Were we making it back to Raleigh?
On Feb. 28, seven students of different majors met at RDU/Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Eight days later, they were back with an unforgettable experience.
Roger Christman, Professor and Department Chair of Communication at Peace, took a group of students to the Chiapas State, Mexico. We were there to film for a documentary about the Lacandones, a group of the Mayan indigenous people, dispersing into city life in search of opportunity.
The goal of the class wasn't to help film. It was to help capture a story that was 30 years in the making.
30 years prior, Mr. Christman was a film crew member for the first documentary capturing this trend. It focused on the story of a ten- year- old boy, Kayum, and his father. The father relocated his family from the rural area of Lacanjá to the city of Palenque for hopes of better income and education.
Flashforward to now, Kayum is 40 years- old with a family of his own. He lives in Palenque with his children, along with his two sisters and their families. He immediately welcomed us into his home. He showed us his store, which he worked at almost every day. He shared his valuables with us, one of which being his selfie stick.
How it all connects
We showed them the original documentary to his family, which felt like a home video to them. The father had sadly passed away two years prior, but they were heart warmed to see him laughing and telling stories. It was an honor to share such a special moment with them, and they were excited to continue capturing the story. Their story.
Although Kayum and his family lived in the city, many traditions and lifestyles of the Lacandones were passed down through storytelling and teaching. Kayum joined us for our excursion to Lacanjá. We stayed there for three nights, and each day we would learn new ways of the Lacandones people. Yes, we got to use machetes to clear out our path in the jungle.
We not only documented the story, but we truly experienced the contrast we were trying to capture.
Along the way, we climbed ancient Mayan ruins, coasted through the Usumacinta River, swam along waterfalls, slept in hammocks (voluntarily), and connected with others through language barriers.
I could talk about this trip for days but, this is not about what we did.
It is about why we did it.
Why we all took this risk and embraced this opportunity. Why we would each embark on this trip 100 times over. I have explained what immersive learning looks like and its educational benefits, but there is so much more than that.
I was pushed out of my comfort zone. I felt the reward of taking risks. I met new people and made new friends. I connected with people cross- culturally. I expanded my view of what "normal" means. I was given a new perspective. I gained an understanding of life entirely outside of mine.
Caitlin Richards, senior communication major, was one of the students. She is currently interning at WRAL and felt this experience made her a better storyteller.
"I'm focusing on journalism for my career and I believe it is very important to be able to not only tell someone else's story but actually live it. Having the opportunity to go to Mexico and off the grid to document indigenous people was something I will never forget."
Both of us will graduate in May, and our undergrad experience is ending much differently than imagined.
Amid everything going on in the world, I am grateful to have this experience to remember and reflect on. It will motivate me to keep exploring and engaging in different surroundings.
I took this opportunity because I wanted to learn from others I wouldn't have met. I wanted to find myself in a place I wouldn't have gotten there myself. I took this opportunity because I wanted to immerse myself in a different world and break my definition of normal.
What's your why?

Noncompete Agreements—The Basics
What You Need to Know About Covenants Not to Compete
When you put a lot of time and money into a business—developing the product and packaging, building a customer base, and formulating the most effective marketing strategy—you don't want an employee, vendor, or trusted partner/associate opening a competing enterprise or taking the results of your work to a competitor. A noncompete agreement, or "covenant not to compete," can prevent that.
A Noncompete Agreement Is a Contract
A covenant not to compete must meet all the requirements of a legally binding contract:
- There must be offer and acceptance by two or more parties—In some instances, offer and acceptance must be in writing.
- Each party must give consideration—Both parties must either give something of value or promise to refrain from doing something they have a legal right to do. If you try to add a noncompete clause to an existing employment contract without giving the employee something in return, the provision may not be supported by consideration and may be unenforceable.
- The contract must be entered voluntarily—You may not use duress, undue influence, or misrepresentation to secure agreement not to compete.
- All parties must have the legal capacity—Common reasons a party lacks capacity to enter a contract include age (minors have special rules that apply) and mental impairment. Mental impairment can be due to intoxication or mental illness.
- The subject matter of the contract must be legal—Courts will not enforce an agreement to commit an illegal act.
A Noncompete Agreement Must Be Fair and Reasonable
You generally cannot prevent a person from ever working again in a particular industry, as courts are disinclined to enforce agreements that keep someone from being gainfully employed. Accordingly, a noncompete agreement must be reasonable in terms of:
- Geographic scope—If your business is primarily local, the courts will typically enforce only agreements that limit the scope of competition to the local area, as competition on the other side of the country won't affect your business.
- Time length—While there's no hard and fast rule, the shorter the term of the agreement, the more likely a court will enforce it. A limitation for a year or two will generally pass muster, but longer agreements become problematic.
- How the agreement defines "competition"—The noncompete agreements most likely to be upheld specifically list the competitors with whom the employee may not work or state that the employee may not open a new business that directly competes with the employer.

Three cyclists plan to complete a charity ride for water wells later this month by dipping their tires in the Arctic Ocean.
The Cycling 4 Water team first set out on July 19, 2021, from Abbotsford in partnership with the Langley-based Global Aid Network (GAiN). Their plan was to dip their tires in the Arctic, Pacific and Atlantic oceans while raising awareness and funds for water wells that would reach villages in Africa.
The Sea 2 Sea riders at that time were Mike Woodard, Rob Montgomery, Timo Itkonen and Gabe McReynolds.
They had initially planned to start at Tuktoyaktuk and the Arctic Ocean, and then cycle from there, but COVID-19 travel restrictions had not been lifted in the Northwest Territories at that time.
Instead, the team began their journey in Dawson City, Yukon then touched the Pacific Ocean at Prince Rupert and the Atlantic Ocean in the Halifax area, ending on Sept. 25, 2021.
RELATED: 'Young-at-heart, old guys' to cycle across Canada to fund wells in Africa
Woodard, an Abbotsford resident, said the trip was an "amazing experience."
"Someone described this 63-day journey as the story of 1,000 little miracles; definitely a one-day-at-a-time journey. Some days were so physically difficult, others were 'sun in your face and wind at your back' days. Each day had great people moments," he said.
But they still had a goal of reaching the Arctic Ocean.
This year's team of Abbotsford-Mission residents Itkonen, Woodard and Richard Blaschek plan to complete the task, starting on Aug. 16, by cycling the Dempster Highway – a 920-kilometre gravel road – that leads from Dawson City to Tuktoyuktuk.
The trio hope to dip their tires in the Arctic Ocean on Aug. 27.
The first team cycled 8,600 kilometres and raised more than $500,000 to fund 63 wells. This year's team plans to add another seven wells.
The first Sea 2 Sea ride in 2014 started with a conversation between Woodard and his long-time friend Montgomery.
The search for a cause landed with water wells because it's such a basic need, saves lives and transforms families and communities. GAiN became the cause partners, and the ride started to take shape.
Woodard and Montgomery recruited two more cyclists and a support vehicle driver to join them. They found sponsors who provided a support vehicle and the funds to cover their expenses so that all the money raised would go to GAiN.

Glutathione peroxidases (Gpxs) are antioxidant enzymes not studied so far in legume nodules, despite the fact that reactive oxygen species are produced at different steps of the symbiosis. The function of two Gpxs that are highly expressed in nodules of the model legume Lotus japonicus was examined. Gene expression analysis, enzymatic and nitrosylation assays, yeast cell complementation, in situ mRNA hybridization, immunoelectron microscopy, and LjGpx-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions were used to characterize the enzymes and to localize each transcript and isoform in nodules. The LjGpx1 and LjGpx3 genes encode thioredoxin-dependent phospholipid hydroperoxidases and are differentially regulated in response to nitric oxide (NO) and hormones. LjGpx1 and LjGpx3 are nitrosylated in vitro or in plants treated with S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). Consistent with the modification of the peroxidatic cysteine of LjGpx3, in vitro assays demonstrated that this modification results in enzyme inhibition. The enzymes are highly expressed in the infected zone, but the LjGpx3 mRNA is also detected in the cortex and vascular bundles. LjGpx1 is localized to the plastids and nuclei, and LjGpx3 to the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum. Based on yeast complementation experiments, both enzymes protect against oxidative stress, salt stress, and membrane damage. It is concluded that both LjGpxs perform major antioxidative functions in nodules, preventing lipid peroxidation and other oxidative processes at different subcellular sites of vascular and infected cells. The enzymes are probably involved in hormone and NO signalling, and may be regulated through nitrosylation of the peroxidatic cysteine essential for catalytic function.

United Nations
International Policy Organization
VCA (Video Corporation of America) is a global technology integrator. VGA was selected to install a variety of AV products into the large remodeled meeting space of the United Nations. This room is extremely vital to operations due to its deliberative, policymaking and representative nature. Heads of state routinely meet in this space, countless news outlets broadcast these meetings around the world.
The VGA installation provides this organization with a sophisticated system. This system delivers the critical conferencing, interpretation, and broadcast features they require.
The Project
Because of the historical nature of the room, the remodel was done to preserve the original look of the space. To the naked eye it appears almost identical to how it looked prior to the renovation. The layout of the room includes approximately 500 delegate microphone seats, and an additional 1500 listen-only seats.The project required the integrated systems to support the organization's campus wide systems; and also provide feeds to major news outlets. This was accomplished via leveraging both broadcast and professional audio-video technology solutions to work as one.
Bag End Subwoofers Chosen for Sound Re-enforcement
The United Nations audio systems contain products from QSC Q-sys, Yamaha CL-series used for mixing, processing and video conferencing, Taiden HCS 8300-series for Congress Microphone and Simultaneous Interpretation, Renkus-Heinz ICII-R steerable arrays and Bag End subwoofers for room sound re-enforcement. The Purelink PM-series routers provided transport and stereo audio feeds into QSC. QSC and Taiden are redundantly linked via analog and AES audio while QSC and Yamaha are digitally linked directly via a 64×64 Dante™ audio transport bridge. QSC Q-sys campus wide audio network provides 16-channel program audio directly into the centralized broadcast router and embedded into the HD-SDI stream.

I think the simplest way to state my question is to give an example:
f[x_]:= x;
(* Is this possible? *)
(* x *)
In other words, is it possible to stop Mathematica from evaluating x as 2 before evaluating the function? None of the Hold attributes or functions have successfully halted this part of evaluation for me.
What I'm trying to do is pass symbols to a function for it to manipulate, but I don't want to worry about the same symbol names being used in other parts of the code. Using Clear works, but it then requires me to re-evaluate the areas where the symbol name was used before, so I was hoping there was an easier way other than clearing or using different symbol names.
Edit: Sorry for the confusion. m_goldberg correctly guessed what I was trying to explain. Although I can hide global variables in Module blocks by using the same variable names, I was hoping for the same results with a function. Here is his code that represents my goal:
x = 2;
f[x_]:= Module[{u = Defer[x]}, 1 + u + u^2];
1 + x + x^2
In other words, I wanted to arbitrarily pick symbols as arguments to a function, regardless if they had been assigned values prior to calling my function. Apparently, I was looking for Defer.
I think it's worth noting that jjc385's answer also achieved my goal, but with a hold on the result.
Thank you everybody for the help!

Angelspit have been kicking out jams from the realm of cyberpunk and pretty-much-every-category-of industrial for more than a decade now… They've also been putting on a plethora of insane live anti-spectacles to accompany each of their releases… However, this past year or so they've undergone some major changes and are apparently enjoying the spoils of their decisions. Founded as a duo comprised of Zoog Von Rock and Destroyx/Amelia Arsenic, they went on to have a full "rock band" for their live show and occasionally for studio recordings. However, they're back to duo status, although this time Zoog's musical other half is guitarist George Bikos, who has played with the band in varying capacities since 2008. Last year Angelspit released their fifth studio album, The Product. The album's thirteen tracks will make you want to fuck shit up both on the dance floor and in your own respective oppressive local communities in general. Tonight Angelspit kick off a tour with dear friends and collaborators The Gothsicles and this Friday, May 22nd, they'll be playing the Trocadero. Earlier this week I got a chance to chat with Zoog Von Rock about the latest chapter of Angelspit.
Izzy Cihak: Not to start with an enormous question, but Angelspit has been around for a little more than a decade now: What have been the highlights of the band? You've put out a lot of really great records and taken part in a lot of really cool tours.
Zoog Von Rock: The last year has been our best. Angelspit's most recent album, The Product, has received the best reviews of any album. My psychotic streak for evil music has been re-ignited.
Izzy: Angelspit has been through a number of transformations, especially in the past couple years. You're going to playing Philadelphia later this week. What can be expected of the live experience this time around?
Zoog: Angelspit's live show has been everything from a 2 piece to a 6 piece. I always like to do something completely different for each tour. This current tour is an opportunity for me to try something totally newerent. Half the songs I will be performing have never been done live. Completely new light show and projections. I am joined by one of Chicago's top DJs, Matt Slegel. Matt will be playing lights and projections live – It's crazy!
Izzy: What would you currently consider to be your most significant influences, whether from the world of music, other art forms, or just cultural or everyday happenings?
Zoog: I am inspired by the people I talk to and the situations I get in. Lyrics are very important to me – they need to mean something. Musically, I mostly listen to funk (Stevie Wonder, P-Funk, Bootsy Collins), and '60s/'70s rock (Bowie, Beatles, Pink Floyd), and '90s grunge. I love music that is driven by passion, not technology. Technology is a lover, not a master.
Izzy: On a related note, are there any contemporary musical artists that you think are doing especially interesting or inspiring things, whether they are doing things in any way similar to the music that you make?
Zoog: I love to help new bands get heard! Check out: Chant, Baal, Temple Of Fools, GirlFlesh, Beatdrop, Dirt, DJ Addambombb, Avarice In Audio, Soulcyber, Dirty Bass Score, Spermblaster, and Flesh Eating Foundation. These bands will blow your mind!
Izzy: How did your recent Hardcore Pong project, whose debut is slated for September, initially come about? Your fans seems to be quite into it.
Zoog: Hardcore Pong started out as Brian (the Gothsicles) and I making videos, but we decided to start making music…and the results are awesome. Hardcore Pong is fun and beat driven – it's really fun working with Brian. We will be doing a Hardcore Pong track on tour – this will ROCK!
Izzy: Finally, what are you currently most focused on and what's planned for after this upcoming tour wraps?
Zoog: 2015 is a big year for Angelspit. We are extensively touring the USA, plus releasing Hardcore Pong with The Gothsicles, and working on the next Angelspit album – which is due for release 2016.

Do you know what hidden emotions are expressed with your finances or hidden on the site of the plane from you and your partner?
Someone to redeem you
There are many emotions expressed in your finances and some of them are shown when you get pay and you do our best to spend all the money you have and the next day you start bankrupt and look for someone to guarantee you. When someone comes to your rescue, you know that you are not alone and you put yourself in a situation to receive assistance.
Your identity
The emotions you express might be difficulty in offset your money and you do our best to get rid of it because you are not used to having more than enough. Don't have money as a way of life, maybe you identify and create the ability to have more money by getting a better job won't change this in yourself because you will still do your best to get rid of your money immediately after entering.
Have new things
When you don't feel good about yourself, you can get out and spend money in hopes of having new things in your life will make you feel good about your life and the situation you live. You might notice that having new things survive for a short time because the sensation is lost and now you have it and you are ready for a new adventure in getting more things.
The feeling you expect to create maybe joy, happiness or the desire to want something and prove that you can get it only for short-lived.
Fear alone
Fear alone can ask you hostage in buying items for others who hope they are loyal and depend on you.
Fear alone can help you to hug your children by doing everything you can for them only for them can't work with age and you can complain that they don't take their responsibilities as adults.
You may have a feeling of alone or can be through separation and this can appear in the way you spend money keeping yourself owing even if it is institutional at least you are connected to something and not alone.
Children don't feel pulling
Buy all the gifts that you can at Christmas time so your children don't feel not robbing and you feel comfortable with you just to serve your feelings that you are a good old man. As parents you might be afraid that your children will tell you later that you don't give them enough or you're not for them and you are overrated in giving them guilt things.
You can pay attention to other people who hope someday you will be identified at your scores and you might get thank you from someone else and still feel you lost something inside.
Destroy cycles
Your hidden emotions with finance can reveal to you what your motivator is for you to do the things you do for yourself and others and to help you understand how to use your money in another way, and to break the cycle you don't feel whether it helps You and your family become better individuals.
Conclusion: Learning to understand what is revealed by hidden emotions in your finances can help you get your feelings in other ways without suing yourself and your family

The Netherlands is better known by the name Holland, named after the provinces of North and South Holland in the western part of the country. The provinces of North and South Holland are only two of the Netherlands' twelve provinces. The official name of the country is the Netherlands.
The country is a densely populated and low-lying country (hence the name "Nederland, Netherlands" meaning "low lands"). Holland is in the rest of the world especially known for its windmills, Gouda and Edam cheese, tulips and other flowers, wooden shoes, dikes and flat lands, cows and its seventeenth century painters.
The city of Amsterdam is the capital city of the Netherlands, and The Hague (Den Haag or 's-Gravenhage) is the official seat of government and the home of the Queen.
The Netherlands has a rich history. After a major struggle in the 16th century against the Spanish ruler, the country gained independence from the Spanish Empire.
After the independence Holland became one of the major seafaring and economic powers of the seventeenth century. This period is called the Dutch Golden Age.
In this period ships were sent all over the world and colonies and trading posts were founded. Science and art also flourished. Painters like Rembrandt, Vermeer and Frans Hals are still very known today.

Driven from New Orleans (2012), Drug Wars (2013), On the Run (2014)
A previous post refers to Driven from New Orleans: How Nonprofits Betray Public Housing and Promote Privatization (2012).
A passage (p. 98) from the latter study brings to mind the following additional previous posts:
The Drug Wars in America, 1940-1973 (Kathleen J. Frydl, 2013)
In the following excerpt (p. 98) from Driven from New Orleans (2012), I've omitted the bibliographical notes. I've also broken the longer, single paragraph into shorter ones for ease in online reading.
"Complementing the stepped-up and expanded enforcement of one-strike evictions was a federally financed expansion of local police forces and drug war efforts. The major targets of this initiative were poor and black urban communities. The 'criminalization of the poor,' as political scientist Ed Goetz notes, became the de facto U.S. urban policy in the 1990s as spending on domestic social programs faced cutbacks. Indicative of these developments, in 1994, as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, President Clinton created the office of Community Oriented Policing (COPS).
"The new initiative provided grants to local police departments and other agencies, including public housing authorities, to hire more police. By 2000, COPS reached its goal of placing 100,000 federally financed police on U.S. streets. Oftentimes, as in New Orleans, these officers were used to beef up police presence at public housing developments and other poverty areas of cities.
"In addition, the federal government's weed and seed program, begun under Bush and continued by Clinton, funded more local police and promoted greater collaboration between local and federal law enforcement agencies, community organizations, businesses, and social service agencies in so-called high-crime neighborhoods.
"Like COPS, weed and seed prioritizes and promotes closer civilian-police relations, including developing police informants in the community as a prerequisite to accessing the seed aspect of the program – the delivery of social services. Adding to its punitive nature, the program authorized the creation of special law enforcement zones where 'offenders [could] be prosecuted under more stringent federal laws.' "
An April 2, 2015 Atlantic article is entitled: "The Lost Children of Katrina: A decade after the hurricane, New Orleans' community grapples with the effects of missed schooling and mass displacement."
An April 11, 2015 Toronto Star article is entitled: "Three paths to more mixed-income neighbourhoods: Revitalized public housing, inclusionary policies and closing rent control loopholes could help Toronto keep and build economically diverse neighbourhoods."
The article is written in a typical newspaper style. It's meant for a quick read and covers what can be covered in a short space. That being said, it provides a great overview to some questions that came to mind when I read a history, by a community activist turned academic, about the history of public housing in New Orleans.
The wider context for such an article comes to mind, when I read it. The context includes the wider economic picture as highlighted in an April 13, 2015 CBC article entitled: "Why Stephen Poloz can't fix a weak economy: Don Pittis: Bank of Canada governor to present his Economic Policy Report later this week."

Narrative and metaphor
A project that is of interest focuses upon the turning of neoliberalism into an analytically useful concept.
A related project involves determination of a means whereby "social innovation" can be turned into a concept that serves an analytically useful purpose.
It is helpful as well to define the word "democracy," or to have an understanding of how the word is used in a particular context, as the term means different things to different people, in differing circumstances.
A related theme concerns the power of narrative and metaphor, for good or for ill, a topic discussed at this post among others:
The Meaning of Human Existence (2014)
The Changing Face of Economics (2004)
The challenge is to find ways and means, to the extent that it may be feasible, to enable people, who have an interest in the topics at hand, to arrive at a shared analytical language. Such a pursuit is of value. Language – as in the use of metaphors to advance arguments, and to build narratives – plays a key role in how we as a species make sense of reality. Our sense-making project in turn determines how we deal with each other, and how we deal with the built and natural environments that we encounter.
As I've noted elsewhere, documentary making using an approach adopted by the Maysles brothers has the potential to help, in a small way, in development of a shared analytical language. Just observing what's out there, with the eye and ear of a poet, which is the Maysles model, stands in some contrast to taking what's out there, and editing it into a (however valuable) NFB-style documentary, or into a (however valuable) academic research study in order to shape a message about what is observed.
A useful resource regarding these topics is The Changing Face of Economics: Conversations with Cutting Edge Economists (2004).

If you are getting tired of the hustle and bustle of city life, camping can be a truly fun and unique experience. However, it is important to keep in mind, that there is a certain amount of danger involved and the need for acclimatization for the outdoors. This article will arm you with the advice you need for a great camping trip!
If you are going backcountry camping, you should probably carry a snake bite kit in your gear. The best snake bite kits are the ones that use suction. Some kits have scalpels and blood flow constrictors in them. Scalpels can actually cut the poison into the blood stream faster, and constrictors can be deadly if not used properly.
Do plenty of research on your camping site and ensure that it offers everything that your group will need. Consider the individual needs of each camper to ensure that everyone is taken care of. This alleviates the need to make supply runs, or worst case, have to end the trip too soon.
Figure out your new gear before you go camping. The practice does really help. No one wants to get to the campground, only to find out that they don't know how to use something or set up their own tent. Practice with your new gear before you ever set foot on the campground.
Bring supplies for 'Smores. 'Smores are an integral part of any camping trip. Simply pack graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. Toast the marshmallows, then make it the filling to a graham cracker/chocolate sandwich. When you have a 'Smore, you will want 'some more'–bring enough for everyone to have at least two of them!
Carry a bandana or handkerchief with you. They can serve many purposes, like potholder, blotter, hand towel or carrying bag. There are a lot of different uses for it, so make sure you bring one on every camping trip with you.
Dryer lint can make great kindling for creating campfires. A month before your camping trip, begin collecting the lint from your dryer's lint filter. Place the lint you normally throw in the trash in a plastic bag to take with you. Doing this means you can just snag your kindling on the way out the door the morning your trip starts.
Bring enough food and snack items to last you throughout the whole trip. You don't want to spend your time going to get food every meal, enjoy yourself while you are camping. Bring cereal, hot dogs, and all of your other favorite food items that will fuel you throughout your trip.
It is important that you remember all the camping gear when going on a trip. You do not want to forget essential items. Make sure you check for the items you need, and create a list before leaving to be certain you have everything you want.
Do not dump any type of food waste on the ground. This is a great way to attract unwanted bugs and animals. The best way to get rid of excess food waste is to dump all of it into the fire pit. It is also not a good idea to bury them.
Choose your campsite carefully. The location in which you're camping can make all the difference. Do plenty of research before you make any plans. What is the weather like? Does the campsite have specific rules? How crowded will the campsite be? Poor planning can make for a miserable camping experience.
As you can see, there are many things involved in making a camping trip a successful experience. Even if you are a seasoned camper, you can still use some bits of advice to enhance your outdoor fun. Use what you have learned today, and you are sure to have a better camping trip tomorrow!

The Christian Radio Homepage
Radio Interview
Thomas Kenny
Music Director
XM - 31 The Torch
Thomas Career Capsule In 1991-92 I was at a top 5 College Station, 90.3 FM KUSF, San Francisco. I was Asst. Underwriting Director for a department that brought in the most underwriting in KUSF's 18 years of service. I had heard of KUSF reading my Rolling Stone a year earlier, and when I graduated community college, I headed west to be in radio and finish school at the University of San Francisco, a catholic Jesuit school. I also wanted to know faith that I grew up with in the home. I learned it. I got saved while hanging out with a bunch of spirit-filled Christians who attended USF.
I left USF in 1992 not finishing school and joined a rock band in Athens GA to evangelize kids in the clubs. I was the vocalist writing Christian lyrics. Ultimately, I returned to DC and met my wife, Angela (just celebrated 12 years on Easter) who answered an ad I had for a band in a music street paper. After we were married in 1995, we moved to VA beach and became youth pastors. We started a band there too. I volunteered some at WODC (Anne Verbelee was manager). In 1999, the Lord asked "what do you want to do?" I told him radio and began pursuing it. I was frustrated because not many were doing a Christian Rock format. It was my prayer. My wife and I returned to DC and I enrolled in college at George Mason University to finish my school. I took an internship at WAVA FM 105.1 and a 10 hour week position board operator while attending school. I graduated GMU in 2001. Salem had already asked me to help with operations on their XM project which featured XM 170 FamilyTalk, XM 32 The Fish (now, The Message) and XM 31 The Torch. I became the MD of The Torch in 2002 and have been doing it ever since.
1. Personally how do you keep the ministry in the "business"?
Well, the Bible says all believers have the ministry of reconciliation. So, it already is there as long as I remain in relationship with Jesus. He is constantly showing me things about what I do, about how to handle situations and share the power of His life in me. The Christian music industry is a business. That reality will never change and industry can never be ministry by itself. We who believe have been given the ministry of reconciliation. I am a person charged with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and commissioned to preach it whether I do this job or not. What I do is business. I work for a media company and the first rule of all commercial media is to make money. The ministry of reconciliation is inside of me because that is where Jesus lives. He said, "him and his father would make their abode with us" in the Gospel of John. That is the confidence I strive to walk in everyday and distribute to whomever I come in contact with daily. Listening to Him will keep the business practice full of integrity, joy and it will not be burdensome.
2. How has Satellite radio affected Christian radio in general?
I don't know. Christian Radio has a lot of commercial free stations in general so I don't know how it would change it. We all have 168 hours a week to program. The church to me should not be competing against itself. My former general manager said to me when he launched an FM Christian talk station that many came to him in Christian radio community saying the station with its big signal would "crush them." His reply was, "The audience is a huge and growing pie and none of us have gotten all of it for ourselves." Matter of fact, all the Christian stations didn't have much of the pie in the community. The whole pie should be our focus. Secular radio competes viciously everyday for listeners. I think Christian radio should do the reverse and present unity. It is, after all, a church on the airwaves much of the time. Christian radio is asking listeners in the marketplace to make not just a Christian programming choice but many times a complete change of thinking and way of living. Our business practice should represent that very life. The potential audience is a huge pie and concerns the whole market. There are things local Christian radio can do to super-serve their communities that I can't do. Satellite radio should not change their view about their market.
If we look at what is going on in the world and particularly with the events at Va. Tech, the question I would have to ask is, how have we changed the hearts of people in our communities? Are we presenting the powerful Gospel to a society that continues to fall asleep in the malaise of culture? Are we telling people you can have an impacting relationship with Jesus that goes beyond mere religion and institutional form? Are we giving them a real experience on radio that compels men and women to seek Jesus with all of their heart? A friend of mine said he would not go to church because he "didn't like the paisley pink presentation and surroundings." What he meant was, it was not speaking to him the way Jesus spoke to him personally as a man of faith. It was water downed and whitewashed. My wife calls it "milk toast." Are we presenting milk toast or that real message in a significant way?
I know there are things people have to deal with in the business. But as long as you can present the reality of the transforming relationship with Jesus then all of us should be fine and getting more of that ever expanding audience pie than we are accustomed too.
3. What do you think are the main characteristics of today's Christian radio PD?
Integrity. Servant. Creative. A PD needs to find the gifted, recognize their strengths and put them in a place to succeed. When I was a youth pastor, my goal was to work myself out of the position by training kids to be ministers of reconciliation. My wife and I just had lunch with some of our former youth visiting DC with their spouses! One leads worship in her church!
A PD (especially rock) needs to be creative constantly and listen to creative ideas and take chances. I program a rock format that is Christian centered. I REALLY DON'T COMPETE WITH RADIO. I COMPETE WITH IPOD"S AND THE INTERNET! In the era of MySpace and internet and all that, doing the same ole radio formatting will kill you. Music is important to kids and they can see right through safe "program for the ladies or mothers" that works in other formats but not in rock! They vote with their feet when they feel they are being spoon-fed. As a youth pastor, to present the mundane church program meant kids would not come back next week. They wanted connection, ownership of their group and validity. Trusting in them helped build the boundaries because they in turn trusted what I was saying to them, which was the gospel. When they got the Gospel nothing stopped them. A PD that can allow their staff that kind of freedom will succeed in the 21st century.
4. What criteria do you require for a song to be played on your station?
That it kicks maximus musically and it has great production so it will sound good on the broadcast. There are great songs I receive in the mail that are not finished from a production standpoint.
We are artist friendly. One of the biggest disappointments to me is when artists get bitter about the Christian music industry. I have seen it so much on the rock side. I have heard stories of great music not getting airplay because it did not pass a "lyrical review." I am talking great songs that have valuable faith lessons to discover when you dig beyond the surface. It is no wonder that artists get angry and quote – fall away. As an industry, we lose valuable human resources from artists, to marketers because we judge before we listen and understand.
I trust the artists who eagerly seek to work in the Christian music industry because they obviously believe and seek Jesus relationally. They have a specific calling to basically go broke making music to express it. That is enough for me right there to honor them by reviewing their music and honestly considering it for airplay. On top of that, labels see their talent and seek to help them along. Someone has taken faith in their message, whether it be overt or poetic, and invested in their career and their own business. I find that honorable and therefore I can relax and be at peace listening to the message with a heart of flesh and not stone. Furthermore, I trust my listener's discernment (and tell them even that they have it and have to make a choice). You would be surprised the types of things kids learn from music that we, as programmers, never see. I have faith that God is in control of his relationship with my listeners and I can focus on the making great radio.
Some artists have left the "Christian music industry." I still celebrate their contribution and follow their careers. Some listeners ask me, "are they still Christian?" I respond, "they probably still have their relationship with Jesus though I haven't asked them. I haven't asked 98% of the artists on my station now 'if they are still Christian.' If I wanted to meticulously judge, I could find something wrong with everyone. My question is, 'does that song still speak to you that they wrote when they 'were Christian?'" The answer to that is always "yes."
5. What kind of promotions work best for Christian Satellite radio?
Content driven promotions. Presenting artists and events relevant to the Christian music fans!
6. How do you think Christian Record labels can better serve Christian radio?
Send their music on CD. I am a digital broadcaster and I know download servicing companies help them immensely, but I cannot use them. Send CD copies out on the release date (or 2 days before J) so we, the radio peoples, can review them and can tell our audience that the CD rocks! I personally am not going to take it home and stick it on my shelf because we need a resource CD at XM! I often share music with other MD's and PD's who do rock alternative formats here at XM because we are all in the same building.
You know, kids are passionate about the message of the Gospel, but what they are really excited about is their music that they stylistically enjoy presenting the powerful message of the Gospel. And when you honestly present that as they honestly appreciate it, then you have a win win situation. So these types of things to help the radio person on-air to put forth honest communication about the music and the message in it will help get the listeners more excited about the music and go out and buy it.
Check this email out from a listener: - First of all, let me tell you what an AWESOME station The Torch is!!! I was a die-hard ethel fan (XM 47), but the only station I listen to now (with the exception of ESPN and MLB) is XM 31. What a great time in Christian music that there are so many great artists out there that appeal to the crowd outside of the pop-christian music scene. My question is, where in the world can I go to get this great music? Is there a website or good music store out there? I am working away from home, so I do not know if there are any national chains that you can recommend to me or is it best to try to find it on the bands' websites? Thanks and God Bless!!
That is just one example of many. I say something on the air about an artist and I will get an email that sometimes completes the story. I asked my listeners one time about the Thousand Foot Krutch record, The Art of Breaking and what does the title mean? I really didn't have an answer to my question. I had no clue. I got like ten emails with explanations that day with scripture references so significant and powerful, I had a Bible study at work.
This goes back to my point, listeners already know what is going on in the music, because they are fans!! Many times, they became fans of bands before I did!! That is why their artist is on the radio! Because they supported them! They don't need us to tell them who Jesus is all the time or present this in a spoon-fed manner. I just try and help them along with things that I know or can ascertain from being in the business. It is my job to push the story of the music out so the fans can develop better connection with their artists of choice. Having the CD resource and stories behind the records helps to turn listeners into music buying fans!
7. In your opinion what are the biggest obstacles facing Christian radio today?
I don't think there are any. We have a creative group of music artists and bands making impacting art that is edifying and engaging the culture head on. The message is the most powerful on the planet!!! It's truth! The biggest obstacle is ourselves getting in the way of what these powerful people can do when given the access to do it. We need to not water down what these people are doing or are saying. When an artist comes to XM 31 The Torch, I am here to serve them. I want to hear their story, record it and pass it on to my listeners. Their testimony is an encouragement to the listeners.
This is just one example of how not to get in the way. Some believe that the person in charge is accountable for whatever goes over the air. That is true, but in a Christian world that is based on Corinthians 13. Two qualities stand out in that chapter - Love always trusts and never fails. If I can present that on the air by being inclusive rather than exclusive for fear out of how a song message maybe perceived then I am fully accountable. So I try to get out of the way when I am not certain. Plus many times, the listener is smarter than I.
8. What do you believe is the primary role of the Christian radio air personality?
Passion for the music. We know you have passion for the ministry. I do both on air. But I am not trying to use the format to hopefully keep kids from listening to other things. They will do it anyway if they choose. But if I am honest in my presentation they will comeback and stay with us. So if you are connected like they are to the genre then you will be easily relatable. Some have questioned whether I was playing Christian music. Well if you are passionate, you know what is going on and are able to lead and build a relationship with a new listener who is examining your station for the first time.
I answer all emails personally. It is the most important thing I do. Some of the correspondence turns into conversations because people are passionate about Jesus and the music they hear on XM 31. The internet has deteriorated the traditional MEDIA gatekeeper's authority in society. This job hasn't given me privilege or a higher position in the cultural hierarchy, but an opportunity to communicate the ministry of reconciliation to more people. Spinning Christian tunes all day and reading a Bible verse on-air is NOT a ministry. Building relationships with people that get me and them one step closer to Jesus is ministry.
9. What (if any) Christian radio stations do you consider as innovators today?
RADIOU – They have proven the power of full-metal Christian radio. I have always admired their passion and execution to serve 12 -24 demo where they are in the culture and kicking maximus continually.
10. Where do you see Christian radio in 5 years?
On the Internet. Wimax is coming soon.

The Los Angeles Lakers nearly blew an early lead again, but they were able to muster up enough strength to hold off the Indiana Pacers' late-game rally and win 104-96 Friday at Staples Center.
The Lakers went up by as much as 23 points in the first quarter, the team's biggest first-quarter lead since 2004, according to Lakers media relations. They started the game leading 13-0.
However, much like their last two games, L.A.'s energy leveled out after the first quarter and the Pacers were able to sneak back into the game, cutting the deficit to as low as one point with less than five minutes in the fourth quarter. Luckily, the star power of LeBron James was able to get them over the hump yet again.
In 38 minutes against the Pacers, James scored 38 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. He also ended the night with a game-high box plus-minus of +21. With Victor Oladipo out for the Pacers, the Lakers simply had more star power when it mattered, going on a 14-2 run towards the end of the game to ice things.
James' supporting cast was also huge down the stretch. With the exception of Micael Beasley, every player that stepped on the floor for the Lakers finished with a positive box plus-minus. Considering how poorly they played in the second and third quarters, that's pretty impressive.
Josh Hart looked especially good on Thursday, scoring 13 points on 6-7 shooting from the field and stealing the ball 3 times. Hart hasn't looked like himself as of late due to a nagging ankle injury so it was nice to see the 23-year-old have a bounce back game. Hopefully his improved play is here to stay.
With a win, the Lakers improved to 12-9, good enough for the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers will be back at it on Friday when they take on the No. 8 seed Dallas Mavericks at Staples Center.
The Mavericks have won seven of their last eight games thanks to some stellar play by rookie Luka Doncic, so the Lakers will have their hands full on the back-to-back.
