PRELUDE: Adagio, Felix Mendelssohn
* SANCTUS (pew card)
* CALL TO WORSHIP, Emerson Chen
Leader: By wisdom, the LORD founded the earth and established the heavens.
People: In Christ are hidden all knowledge and wisdom; in Christ, we live and move and have our being.
Leader: Wisdom cries out in the street and raises her voice in the square.
People: Make your ear attentive to wisdom; incline your heart to understanding.
Leader: Jesus calls out in the village and summons on the hillside:
People: Let anyone with ears to hear, listen to what I am saying.
Leader: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
People: The grace of our LORD is the beginning of faith.
Leader: Come, let us worship God together.
* HYMN No. 9: Sing Praise to the Father
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION(unison)
God of everlasting love, we confess that we have been unfaithful to our covenant with you and with one another. We have worshiped other gods: money, power, greed, and convenience. We have served our own self-interest instead of serving only you and your people. We have not loved our neighbor as you have commanded, nor have we rightly loved ourselves. Forgive us, gracious God, and bring us back into the fullness of our covenant with you and one another. Amen.

Response: Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord, Felix Mendelssohn
* HYMN No. 399: O God, Who Gives to Humankind
Proverbs 10:1-12, Pew Bible, page 516
The proverbs of Solomon.
A wise child makes a glad father,
but a foolish child is a mother's grief.
Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death.
The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
A slack hand causes poverty,
but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
A child who gathers in summer is prudent,
but a child who sleeps in harvest brings shame.
Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
The wise of heart will heed commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever follows perverse ways will be found out.
Whoever winks the eye causes trouble,
but the one who rebukes boldly makes peace.
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses.
James 5:1-6, Pew Bible, page 982
Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten.Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days. Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous one, who does not resist you.
THE SERMON: Wisdom for the Righteous Community, Rev. Blaine Crawford
Offertory: How Lovely are the Messengers, Felix Mendelssohn
* The Doxology(pew card)
* Prayer of Dedication
* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH, Heidelberg Catechism Q&A 107
Q. Is it enough then that we do not murder our neighbor in any such way?
A. No. By condemning envy, hatred, and anger God wants us to love our neighbors as ourselves,
to be patient, peace-loving, gentle, merciful, and friendly toward them, to protect them from harm as much as we can, and to do good even to our enemies.

Lovely vintage pink !
This panty is one of my favorites! Double lace inserts on either side at the front, a little bow and little ruffles around the legs which makes this panty girlish. Taylor Panty looks like Tiffany Brief - which has also lace on either side at the front - and feels the same as Taylor Panty. Maybe a tip for HM to produce Taylor Panty also in lovely pale green.

Why Study False Ideas?
While it's true that Christians should prioritize their understanding of Scripture and Christian theology, Alan offers four reasons why Christians should add the study of false ideas to their to-do list.
The Bulverism Blunder
Sometimes people claim that the only reason someone is a Christian is because they were born in the United States. In this episode, Alan gives three reasons why such a claim is wrong headed.
Naturalism's Only Option
Since February 12 was Darwin Day, Alan discusses Darwin's contribution to the worldview of naturalism and explains why atheists had no choice but to accept evolution.
Naturalism's Only Option
What happens when scientists discover evidence that undermines evolutionary theory? It's disqualified by definition. It's ruled inadmissible. Atheists have no choice but to accept Darwin's account. It's the only option they have.
Does Gender Identity Matter?
Alan explains gender identity and what the Bible says about it.
Scientism: An Obstacle to the Gospel
Scientism claims we can't have knowledge about religion or ethics because the only way to know reality is through the five senses. Here are three reasons why this view is problematic.
The Imago Dei in Man
Alan explains the implications of being made in the image of God and why society is shooting itself in the foot for rejecting this principle.
DNA's Intelligent Design
Alan offers a piece of evidence that suggests that the DNA in your body is intelligently designed.
#STRask - June 11, 2018
Alan Shlemon fills in for Greg today and answers questions about God commanding the death of unborn babies, ungodly spirituality in movies, and an aspect of humanity a materialist would have difficulty explaining.
Persuasively and Graciously Share Your Convictions
Alan tells the story of how a campus Christian group responded to an anti-Christian song with compassion and grace then takes questions on the biblical definition of love, original sin, and resources for critical thinking skills.

I have been in a long distance relationship with my husband for a little over 2 years. About 5 months ago we started having phone sex and it was great. But about 3 weeks ago my husband said he doesn't want to masterbate anymore, because it make him feel weak, which means no more phone sex. Since we can't be intimate because of distance phone sex was the next best thing. I have talked to him about it but he says I need to have some self control. How can I get him to see that he is being unreasonable?
Sorry to hear you're in this situation. It's a tough one.
I'd encourage you to start by changing the way you're thinking about this. You're asking us how to convince him he's being unreasonable. From his perspective, he's not, and as an unbiased third party, I don't think "I don't want to have phone sex" is all that unreasonable a thing to say. What you're really asking is, "how do I convince him to give me what I want?" I know it's uncomfortable to acknowledge that you're asking for something selfish, and ignoring his needs, but it becomes a lot easier to diagnose and address the problem when you recognize this for what it is.
I may be wrong, but it sounds like your husband is not enjoying the phone sex. If you obligate him to continue, he's only going to get more resentful and uncomfortable with anything sexual with you at all. Obligated sex tends not to be good sex. Instead, a better question could be, "what can I do to make this more fun for my husband?" Maybe your husband's a more visual guy, and doing a video chat over skype would turn him on. Maybe there isn't a solution short of getting physically together again. Exploring it from a perspective of "how can I make intimacy enjoyable for both of us" rather than "he's wrong, how can I get him to know that he's wrong so he does what I want," will probably make you both a lot happier.
His comment about masturbation making him feel "weak" is a cause for concern. I'd suggest asking him about that. "What did you mean when you said masturbating made you feel weak?" Be genuinely curious. Don't just ask about it to try to manipulate him into phone sex. Maybe masturbating makes him feel like "less of a man." Maybe he finds it sapping his motivation. Maybe it was purely an excuse because he's not enjoying the phone sex. The only way to find out is to ask him, and be truly interested in his response.
Remember, at the core of any good marriage is the friendship. Take an interest in his needs and desires. If you don't, you're both doomed.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for your response. I guess I am being a bit selfish. But to me sex whether it's phone, cyber, or together is a form of intimacy, that's important part of and adult relationships. And it's already hard enough to have intimacy in a LDR.
He grew up and lives in a Muslim country, even though he is Christians. And me born in the USA. But it worries me that it may be a cultural behavior or thinking he learned in his Muslim country and maybe a reflection of more sexual hang up to come.
When I ask him about the weak comment he gets defensive and doesn't want to talk about it. And now all I really want to do it understand.
You said something about makes him less of a man, or sapping his energy. Could your explain that more.
Thank you!!

"中山狼"故事的共时性塑造与历时性演化 = A diachronic and synchronic analysis of Zhong Shan Lang
Goh, Yuet Pei
吴玥钡 Goh, Yuet Pei
Date of Issue2016
School of Humanities and Social Sciences
"中山狼"的故事在还未有文字记载以前,已在民间以口头形式广泛流传,说的是忘恩负义的中山狼得救后反噬东郭先生,最后遭处死的故事。故事具有教化的意义,除了提醒世人要懂得辨别善恶,也告知忘恩负义之人终将得到应有的惩罚。此故事在明代以小说的形式呈现,即马中锡的《中山狼传》,与马中锡同一时代的康海与王九思亦基于小说改编成杂剧《中山狼》和《中山狼院本》。到了二十世纪,"中山狼"的改编愈盛,以不同的呈现形式大放异彩,为故事的传播接力。近代改编本虽然在形式、情节、人物等方面与原著有所差距,但依然遵循原著的母题。本文将分析"中山狼"故事共时性与历时性的演变,探讨原著与改编本之间的异同以及不同的文体如何适应当下的接受群,以达到最广的传播效应。Zhong Shan Lang(中山狼)is a classic tale that has been spreading wide in China for centuries, which is telling about an ungrateful wolf ended up losing its life because it wanted to eat Mr. Dong Guo after being rescued. This story is serving an educational purpose, which are reminding people to distinguish the good an evil, and also to tell the ungrateful people will result in karma. The story comes as a novel form in Ming Dynasty, by Ma Zhong Xi. During the same era, there are two opera written by Kang Hai and Wang Jiu Si based on the novel, which are "Zhong Shan Lang" and "Zhong Shan Lang Yuanben". In 20th century, this story has appeared in multiple literary forms. There are differences in the forms, plots and characters between the original and rewrite text, but still follow a same motif. This paper attempts to analyse the transformation of diachronic and synchronic to the story of Zhong Shan Lang, to explore the differences and similarities between the original and rewrite text, and how the rewrite text adapt the massage to audience, to reach the widest propagation effect.

We recently had an amazing opportunity to travel to southern Oregon in collaboration with Travel Oregon. This was something I've been wanting to do for ages and we were both SO excited about this particular collab. Last weekend, we road tripped to gorgeous Ashland, OR and visited four of Oregon's finest wineries and also four adventure locations along the way. Oregon wine month is in May and it was a blast exploring the beauty of our great state as well as sample amazing wines grown locally in Oregon. I really do think it's heaven on earth here. Or it's as close as humanly possible.
Our first stop was Abacela Vineyard! We had such a special experience at Abacela in Roseburg. Their landscape is stunning and they're home to some of the best Tempranillo in the country. Schedule a private tasting with one of their knowledgeable staff for your visit. We loved having the chance to sample and ask questions about their entire process. In the private tasting, you'll hear the history of Abacela plus learn about the grape varieties that make their winery one of Oregon's favorites. On May 5, the Umpqua Valley Winegrowers Barrel Tour visits Abacela and other local wineries in celebration of Oregon Wine Month. Just look how amazing it is!
Next to Abacela Vineyards is Wildlife Safari, the only drive-through animal park in the state of Oregon. It is a blast! This is a must-visit for adults and kiddos alike. We saw ostrich, bears, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, lions and so many other gorgeous animals — there's even a baby giraffe. I don't think we stopped smiling the entire time. Wildlife Safari is dedicated to the preservation and education of native and exotic wildlife, especially those that live at the park. You gotta see it. Fun fact: Wildlife Safari receives hay from Abacela and in returns the Safari sends over "zoo doo" for the winery's nutrient-rich fertilizer.
We continued on to Ashland and checked in to Ashland Hills Hotel for the weekend. LOVED it! Free breakfast, dog friendly, hot tub, great location! And they upgraded us to a suite! SWEET!! ;) The view off our balcony was amazing. Ashland is SERIOUSLY stunning. I cannot stress enough how beautiful southern Oregon is. But then it was nap time because we had an early wake up call.
The next morning, it was worth waking up early to hike Hobart Bluff in the morning sunshine. The trail is just 19 miles from the Ashland Hills Hotel (where we stayed), and it's a short and sweet hike with an amazing payoff. Better yet, Hobart Bluff is part of the Pacific Crest Trail and in the beautiful Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. 10/10 would recommend. How gorgeous is Oregon?!
After this hike we deserved a cheers — after all we're celebrating Oregon Wine Month. Pairing a beautiful hike with a wine tasting at Irvine & Roberts Vineyards just makes sense. Not only does Oregon have some of the best wines in the U.S., we'd argue that it has the best vineyard views too. We loved spending the afternoon at Irvine & Roberts, and it paired perfectly with a hike to Hobart Bluff. Irvine & Roberts is a new family-owned winery in Ashland with breathtaking views of the Rogue Valley. It's beyond beautiful. And the charcuterie is pretty great too, especially with their pinot noir and chardonnay. Yes, we took a bottle home with us. We even got to meet one of the co-owners, Dionne, and learn more about the wine. I am HERE for the wine life. Sold.
On to the next adventure!! What is there not to love about a historic covered bridge? Oregon has a lot of them (50 in fact), but you might not have heard of McKee Bridge. It was originally built in 1917 to link a copper mine to the town of Jacksonville. Today it's car-free and recently renovated. We took our time admiring the gorgeous infrastructure. Apparently in the summer this a sweet swimming area, too. We paired our visit to McKee Bridge with a wine tasting at Red Lily Vineyard, because Oregon Wine Month pairs well with the great outdoors. Have I mentioned how much I love it here?
Red Lily Vineyards in Jacksonville has a super fun atmosphere. There are wine tastings in test tubes and the sitting area is right by the beautiful Applegate River. Everyone was having a blast on this sunny day in Southern Oregon (as my giant smile shows). We sampled some ports — our new favorites — and soaked up all the sunshine and beauty. This location is beyond gorgeous.
After that? We spent some time exploring Jacksonville then headed back to Ashland for dinner + nap time in preparation for our last day of exploring. Early to bed and early to rise for our next Oregon hike.
Table Rocks is one of our favorite hikes, located 15 miles north of Medford. If you're on a mission for wildflowers, then this is your spot — if you're lucky you'll see the very rare dwarf-wooly meadowfoam, which is found nowhere else in the world! This was a moderately easy hike and the views from the top are incredible. We'll be returning to this spot again as one trip isn't nearly enough. Mountains + valleys + flowers + birds! Pack your camera for this one. Best of all, Table Rocks is near a wonderful winery, Kriselle Cellars, a great place to celebrate Oregon Wine Month.
Three words - pizza AND wine! Not only does Kriselle Cellars, an amazingly gorgeous property, produce delicious wine (oh yes, we sampled quite a few) but they also have wood-fired pizza! And you have got to try the cabernet sauvignon. The staff and the owners are kind + hardworking people who truly love what they do....and it shows. The winery hosts many community wide events, like live music and painting days. Kriselle Cellars is located next to the Rogue River, which gives their grapes character unlike many others, and you can see the Table Rocks in the distance. Another must-see when touring Oregon's wine country! Yes, I am a wine girl now. And Matt is happy whenever there's a river or ocean nearby. Kriselle Cellars is one of the wineries featured on Roam the Rogue, an Oregon Wine Month event, on May 5.
After this, we returned home to our beloved Portland happy + filled with a new appreciation for the craftsmanship and hard work that goes into producing these amazing wines. A HUGE thank you to all the amazing people we met along the way. Thank you for taking the time to show us your gorgeous properties while sharing your story. It was an honor seeing your passions come to life.
And thank you to Travel Oregon for making this trip possible! I just love you guys.
And forever thankful to call this amazing state home.

Some people mistakenly believe that preliminary hearings in Georgia criminal cases refers to every pre-trial hearing in the case. Preliminary hearings in Georgia criminal cases can be instrumental to the development of the defense in your case. What the preliminary hearing does is allow you an early opportunity to preview the State's case and evidence against you.
The decision made by a judge at preliminary hearings in Georgia criminal cases is governed by the following:
(a) The duty of a court of inquiry is simply to determine whether there is sufficient reason to suspect the guilt of the accused and to require him to appear and answer before the court competent to try him. Whenever such probable cause exists, it is the duty of the court to commit.
(b) Any court, other than a superior court or a state court, to which any charge of a violation of Code Section 16-11-126 is referred for the determination required by this Code section shall thereafter have and exercise only the jurisdiction of a court of inquiry with respect to the charge and with respect to any other criminal violation arising from the transaction on which the charge was based and shall not thereafter be competent to try the accused for the charge or for any other criminal violation arising from the transaction on which the charge was based, irrespective of the jurisdiction that the court otherwise would have under any other law.

Are you ready for Yom Kippur?
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Are you ready? If you are asking "ready for what?" than let me explain. The Day of Atonement is the holiest day of the year for all of Judaism and is one of the Feast Days of the LORD listed in Leviticus 23. Read that last part again, one of the FEAST DAYS OF THE LORD. Yes, that's right the Holy One Himself, (no matter what you call him – Yahovah, Yahweh, God) designed this day as one of HIS feast days and commanded all those that followed Him to honor them for eternity. Well, that about says it all – and that is what...Read More
Elul – Day 39
remember, this is from Orthodoxy….allow the Ruach haKodesh to sift through the words, and speak to your heart… Tishrei 9, Erev Yom Kippur TO BE LIKE ANGELS Tonight we will begin a 25-hour fast of Yom Kippur. We don't do this in order to afflict ourselves, which is the purpose of the fast of Tisha B'Av when we mourn the destruction of the Temple—indeed Yom Kippur is not a day of mourning but a day of joy. We fast on Yom Kippur because on this day we want to transcend our physical limitations and be like angels, and food and other physical concerns distract us from our...Read More
Days of Awe – Day 10
It is that time. It is the 10th day of the Seventh Month of the Biblical Calendar. It is our APPOINTED TIME. This is THAT DAY. This is the day time and eternity, darkness and light, hope and despair, good and evil, life and death, all take their turns wrestling with each other over our souls. Today we taste of death. Today we are called upon to appear before, give an account to, and receive a decree from our Creator. We are poured out like water, and all our bones are out of joint; Our hearts are like wax; they have melted within us. Our strength is dried up like a potsherd, and our tongues...Read More
Days of Awe – Day 9
One more day. Just one. That is all we have left Dear Friends. Just a matter of hours, with a few odd bundles of minutes and seconds thrown in. These are all that stands between us and the time appointed for us to walk with our Creator through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. A measured number of heartbeats. A limited number of opportunities for showing kindness. A closing window of chances to attempt to reconcile shattered relationships. Only the most poignant prayers of t'shuvah remain available to us. And then we will be called forward, one by one, to review the meaning and...Read More
Elul – Day 37
Tishrei 7 THE CYCLE OF FORGIVENESS Yom Kippur, which is only three days away, is called the "Day of Forgiveness" because this is the day when Moses, after pleading with G-d for 80 days to forgive the Israelites for the Sin of the Golden Calf, finally succeeded. On this day, G-d finally said to him: "I will forgive as you have asked." On Yom Kippur we seek to connect to the energy of this awesome day and win forgiveness for ourselves as well. But we can hardly expect to be forgiven by G-d if we ourselves have not been willing to forgive others. Forgiveness is not...Read More
Days of Awe – Day 8
It is now Day 8 of the Days of Great Awe. This is the appointed time for our Awestruck Hearts to reconnect with the 8th of our Creator's Prophetic Empowerments from Sinai. This one simply reads: לֹא תִּגְנֹֽב Transliteration: lo tignov rough translation: you will not take for your own use and enjoyment any tangible or intangible thing not meant for or which has not been entrusted to you The Hebrew phrase 'Lo Tignov' is traditionally translated into English James as 'Thou shalt not steal'. English translations of the Bible limit the application and meaning of this empowerment to a...Read More

The Report covers 24 markets and presents a detailed outlook for
biodiesel prices, production costs & margins and supply/demand to
2030. It concludes by drawing together the key strategic conclusions that will impact on the biodiesel market going forward.
The Report covers 23 markets and presents a detailed outlook for ethanol
prices (both 1st and 2nd generation), production costs & margins
and supply/demand to 2030. It concludes by drawing together the key strategic conclusions that will impact on the ethanol market going forward.
Glycerine's supply demand balance has been volatile ever since the tsunami of biodiesel-derived volumes transformed its marketplace. LMC has been assessing this 'see-saw' for years, supported by our comprehensive understanding and forecasting of glycerine's supply sources. In LMC's Glycerine Report, we consolidate our expertise in feedstocks, oleochemicals and biodiesel, as well as glycerine's fragmented end-uses, to ask if glycerine's current high prices will stay?
The markets for industrial and potable alcohol are increasingly attractive, high-value alternatives for first generation fuel ethanol producers. This new report evaluates the prospects in the key European markets to identify where the best opportunities lie.
This new report fills this information gap and gives a clear analysis of the main waste oils as well as the smaller niche oils.
As bio-based chemicals and fuels industries look to move away from first
generation, food-based raw materials, this new report evaluates the
prospects for second generation feedstocks over the next decade. Will
there be sufficient, reliable supply at competitive prices?
The Global Market for Industrial Ethanol – as opposed to fuel and potable ethanol – is an important and well established sector. But it is poorly documented and data that does exist is fragmented and inconsistent. This report addresses the issue and provides clear data and analysis for the industry.
This service provides monthly analysis and forecasts for the world's major ethanol markets. Ethanol Market Insight delves deep into crucial price developments and price drivers for fuel ethanol, feedstocks and by-products, aswell as commenting on policy, margins and the impact of crude oil and gasoline markets.
LMC's new Global Biodiesel Market Insight provides analysis and forecasts for the major biodiesel markets. It covers the key markets of Europe, North America, South America and South East Asia. The information is presented in an easy-to-read slide deck format.

Igniting social initiatives between brands and consumers and starting two-way conversations between them.
A critical objective for a brand is to inspire its audience and emotion is a great influencer that will move your consumers to share their experiences – of see, touch, feel, taste and hear. And in this ever-connected world it is the social networks, their mobiles, their tablets and their apps that they will use to achieve this. And we will create the content to make this happen.
It's not just about engaging with customers to drive conversations but finding ways to keep the growing community interested in wanting to come back.
And as these conversations are often two-way it's important for the brand to be in control at all times – making sure that all engagement is kept active and remains on topic.
Our approach to online advertising is to deliver targeted marketing messages to profiled customers – with interactive advertising – using banner ads, social media ads, sponsored posts and influencer content.
Our focus is across all digital platforms including mobile.
See our post on 'Understanding Online Advertising'
Content marketing is not just about writing words. It's about defining a strategic marketing approach that is focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience.
For us it's just as much about the choice of platform for dissemination as it is about scripting clear, clever and concise copy.

Family Maternity Session
I recently photographed a family maternity session for my friend An, who is pregnant with her third little girl. I have to say, An and her family are great clients. Not only did they drive up from Tucson for the session, but they did it mid-week, on a Wednesday afternoon, and in rush hour traffic, no less! Even after the long drive, they all good-naturedly walked a good half mile to the photo site, tromping through weeds and overgrowth, and dodging frogs all the way there just so that I could photograph them in "good lighting."
I am so happy with the images that I captured that day. An and her pregnant belly photographed beautifully. However, my favorite images were of her spunky little girls, who wouldn't stop hamming it up in front of the camera! It's probably the documentary photographer in me, but I just love images that capture people (especially kids) when they are being their most authentic selves. Scroll down a bit to check out some more images from their session.
Thanks for stopping by!

"Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe." 1 Timothy 4:12
"There are plenty of people who have technically kissed recreational dating goodbye, but are still looking for romantic flings outside of marriage. They want the fun of being in boyfriend-girlfriend relationships without purpose or commitment. Enter flirtship, the popular new alternative to dating and courtship. It's like dating, only you don't go out – you use email, chat, or phone, or just pair off whenever you're in the same vicinity. Either way, you're definitely – though not officially – well, apparently, anyway – boyfriend and girlfriend." Excerpt from It's Not that Complicated by Anna & Elizabeth Botkin
A young woman once said to me : "I am convinced it's really good if girls be discreet in the way they talk to guys and how often they talk. I mean, it can send a guy the wrong message if you are just constantly talking to just him in a crowd and it may be stirring feelings in him that you had no intention of stirring when you are just trying to be a friendly sister in Christ."
Then she proceeded to talk about a guy she had been emailing for several weeks, two or three times a day. When asked why she thought this was appropriate, but the scenario she described wasn't, she replied "Oh it's not the same online!"
Are we not all guilty of this mentality?
It's also a way for young people to communicate without their parents necessarily knowing everything they're saying. As with everything else, something that may start harmless has the potential to become dangerous if extreme caution is not exercised.
"A man's harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sows. If he sows for his own lower nature his harvest will be the decay and death of his own nature. But if he sows for the Spirit he will reap the harvest of everlasting life by the Spirit." Galatians 6:7-8
Email: Because emailing doesn't allow for accountability in conversation, caution should be exercised here as well. A wonderful practice to get into is sending an email (with the opposite gender) to your parent's inbox as well, and letting him/her know you are doing so. This lets the parents and the person know that you wish to respect them and keep yourselves accountable so that conversation doesn't become unhealthy.
Blogging: Even in the blog world we must be careful and limit comments on each other's blogs. If you're leaving comments on every post and lengthy or gushy conversations take place, it can be very misleading. However, I see nothing wrong with reading the opposite's posts, for it is good to get perspectives from the opposite gender.
"But what if the guy/girl is the one being bold in their attempts to talk with/be around me?"
Well, you can either get graciously bold back, or involve your father in it. That is one of the many blessing of having fathers; once you involve them in struggles they can step in and intervene when we don't want to appear rude and burst the person's bubble so to speak.
"If Romeo seems smitten with you and showers you with attention and compliments (and is exactly the sort of Montague your parents do not approve of), you can make it very clear in your cool but respectful manner that you are not interested in sharing a balcony scene with him." Excerpt from It's (not) that Complicated
"Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life." Proverbs 4:23
Are we conscious enough of our actions through our fingertips?
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." Philippians 4:8
(Guys, just because I wrote about blog commenting doesn't mean I wouldn't like to hear your perspective of this subject:)

The ECB SuperUtes field will take part in a two-day test at Winton next month as it continues development of the category.
The test comes off the back of the inaugural SuperUtes event at Adelaide, which saw 10 cars take to the circuit.
It also witnessed a number of reliability issues, similar to those seen in pre-season testing, though Sieders Racing Team boss Luke Sieders believes they were down to teams learning the new machinery more than an inherent unreliability in the cars.
"I think once the teams get their head around how to keep these things in their window, and then (category engine builder) Craig Hasted and the guys can start leaning on the power a bit more, it'll be a pretty good package," Sieders told Speedcafe.com.
"A lot of the guys haven't really had much to do with the whole turbo aspect of it, and that is a limiting factor at the moment.
"There's some unique stuff that you've got to do to make sure you keep all the hoses on the cars.
"Everyone's getting their head around the right clamps they've got to use, and the right hoses they've got to use so that the cars become reliable.
"Once the teams have got their head around that sort of stuff, which I'm pretty sure everyone's just about there now, it'll just roll on from there."
The test is also an opportunity for drivers to become more familiar with their cars, and provide an opportunity to explore set-up options.
"As far as set-up wise for our cars, we have only tweaked the odd ride height and stuff," Sieders explained.
"We've got major geometry changes that we can still adjust on this car that we just haven't poured any time into that yet because we're still fine tuning the running of the cars, so to speak.
"Once we get down and get some serious testing, and try all these geometry changes that are built into the cars for us to tune with, I think we're going to find considerable differences in speed.
"(In) Craig Woods' car, he won the round (in Adelaide), we did not touch the set-up on that car all weekend," he added.
"We kept it the same setup as what we rolled in there with because he was comfortable in it and we just worked on tuning Craig and his driving style, and every session he went quicker was because he was adapting himself."
Primarily designed to give drivers more time in the cars, it will be overseen by Supercars officials with a view to potentially tweaking parity between the different makes.
"Supercars will be down there, absolutely. We'll have representatives from our technical department and also from a category management point of view," category manager Kurt Sakzewski told Speedcafe.com.
"We'll definitely take the opportunity not only to continue the development and the learning program around the actual utes themselves and the engines, but also to see if we can, if we need to, if we can improve on the parity program that we've already set up, then we'll take that opportunity for sure."
Scheduled for April 12-13, the test comes a month ahead of the second round of the SuperUtes series, which will be held at Winton on May 18-20.

So, after our very enjoyable Otter Trail Hike, we headed for a bit of R&R to Plettenberg Bay. "Plett", as it is known, is quite the yuppie town, all nice cafes and restaurants and views. We enjoyed some small surf and our first bit of warm beach time here, although as ever Jane needed encouragement to get out in the waves! As Jane said…if only I could remember how much I enjoy it once I get out there…
En route out of Plett a couple of days later, we detoured via the Harkerville Reserve. Cathal had suggested we might try out some mountain biking there. Only after we had got all kitted out and had committed ourselves did he reveal that the route was one of the more challenging in all of South Africa….I should really learn sometime to read between the lines! Actually it was great, a fantastic forest trail, leading out to a cliff trail through fynbos and overlooking the Indian Ocean. A bit of a climb to finish, but worth it! Lovely sunshine too.
Cathal's adrenaline was up, so next on the hit list was Bloukrans Bridge Bunjy Jump..the highest in the world at over 216 metres (that's pretty much like diving off the Cliffs of Moher). It was all adrenaline and pumping music…just walking out to the bridge was breathtaking enough!!
Jeffreys Bay
Well known surf spot…and a mecca for surfwear…nice. We stayed here a few days to check out the "legendary" surf. Jeffreys Bay, however, is "Bray" to Plettenberg's "Dalkey". A little tired around the edges and showing its frayed edges out of season. A few surfs (nothing too classic), lots of coffee in "die Koffeepot" (the owners loved Ireland) and a bit of shopping passed the time nicely. We also explored Cape St Francis – a kite-boarders mecca.
Cathal bought a board in "J-bay" – but was destined to wait several weeks before actually finding decent conditions to try it out. Most of the time it was on the roof of our car! This is not an unusual scenario
Altough we're back-packing our way around, we would generally be regarded as "flash-packers" by some of the younger generation we meet. Essentially, we're operating on a budget (100 euro a day in the case of South Africa), which is enough to cover car-hire, our accommodation and pretty much eating out for every meal. It's not 5 star (by any means), but we're getting very high standards. We'd barely get a b&b and a pint at home for that! It's great value here – at most, you pay half what would be paid at home and often less. A beer in a bar is typically less than a euro. There are plenty of places that are cheaper than home, but SA stands out because you get such a high quality "western product" for your buck.
We were headed north-east – back inland for a hit of mountains – and Grahamstown provided a handy half way spot. Lovely town in a valley surrounded by hills. It was an English settler town, and is now student-ville. Cheap deals on food and drink everywhere! Our home here was pretty unusual – we stayed at the Old Gaol Backpackers – the brainchild of a local entrepreneur who saw an opportunity in the unused buildings (last used as a jail in 1976). We stayed in an old "holding" cell – complete with original graffiti left by local gangs, and declarations that the food was terrible. They are currently developing the area that housed the hanging yard…think it would be a bit freaky staying there! Incidentally, our bedroom used to hold 8 people.
Grahamstown was a lovely place to wander around, old colonial architecture, wide streets and lots of bustle. We visited the "Observatory", which houses a Victorian camera obscura, a 19th century webcam! We were treated to 360 degree views of the town, in real time, via a system of mirrors, in the tower of the building. Impressive!
On from Grahamstown, the fairies and tales of Hobbits lured us to Hogsback, in the Amathole district. A non-descript drive through brush landscape could not have prepared us for the magical misty place that is Hogsback! It is talked up a bit in the guidebooks, but deservedly so. Mistly clouds hung over the valley, birds and monkeys filled the trees with noise. Signposts directed visitors to Rivendell and Hobbiton. We enjoyed two nights in "Away with the fairies" backpackers (see our later section on interesting places we've stayed!) A highlight was a hike through the forest in the mist, hoping not to be confronted by any wicked goblins! We topped it off with a night in the Hogsback Inn, hosted by Oliver from Laois. It was a bit like Rosslare in the offseason! Learnt how to make the local shot speciality – a 4×4!
Cathal's cousin, Rachel Conway, had told us before we left how she had brought a bottle of champers with her to have on the first night of her honeymoon with Tyler. Seemed like a good idea! But, backpackers are not always the most romantic of places, so Jane ended up carrying that bottle for 3 weeks before we finally popped it in front of the fire (in our bedroom!) in Hogsback. Regardless, Jane was not going to continue carrying it. Mental note, remember some tips won't necessarily suit our chosen style of travel!

The course goes through the campground north of the start. You will then head on to the 1800 trail.
Turn left on Oak Trail.
Straight on Telephone Trail.
Right on Bruce Lake Trail.
Left on North Shore Road (you'll be happy to be on pavement for a while after 3 miles on the trails! You will turn around at the 10k turnaround and go back the way you came.
—5k information: The race starts at 0900.
The course goes through the campground north of the start. You will then head on to the 1800 trail.
Turn left on Oak Trail.
Straight on Telephone Trail.
Near the intersection with Bruce Lake Trail, you'll see the 5k turnaround. Follow the course back to the finish line!
The Trails!
–trails may be narrow, rocky and have tree roots. Exercise caution while exercising!
–You'll cross a stream on a loose rock bridge. Be careful there if you want to stay dry.
–the course can be described as flat to rolling. There are a couple of 20 to 30 foot climbs on the trail. There aren't any long climbs or descents.
Rules of the Trail
Please don't litter. Take only pictures and leave only footsteps.
If you get a cup of water at an aid station, please drop it right there or keep it with you until the next available garbage can. Please don't leave gels on the trail.
We are getting a chance to be part of nature. Please enjoy it!
Passing an athlete: let the athlete know that you will be passing. Please say, "On Your Left," before passing them on their left.
The athlete being passed should stay on the right side of the trail.
If approaching an athlete when you are coming back from the turnaround and they are still heading out: Both athletes should stay to their right.
Course Marking
Course marking for a trail event is very important. The forest can disorient runners.
There is an old Race Director adage: "When you think the course is marked so that nobody can possibly ever get lost or make a wrong turn, double the signage."
We have that in mind. You'll see orange cones all along the course. You should be able to see the next orange cone as the you the previous one.
There will be markings on trees (5k/10k/Half Marathon) as well as signs, along with the cones.
If you feel you are off course, look for cones and signs. Follow them and you'll either get on a road near the 10k and half marathon turnarounds, or you'll be back at the start. We will be sweeping the course and have volunteers on-course to assist athletes. We will do a head count of starters and finishers. If you cannot complete the course for any reason, please let me know so I know everyone is safe.
Please let me know if you have any questions: Mark Hughes 570 470 4922 or email@example.com. I'm old school: I put my phone number first since I do want to talk to you so I can directly answer any questions you have!

Hi Kane, for those who may be unaware of you or your work, can you give our readers the low down on how you got started to where you are now? I graduated university with an arts degree in music (which means nothing, ha) and fell into sound engineering, which I did for about 5 years and is where I made a lot of my initial contacts in the music industry. I also had a go at running a little record label, which failed miserably, but I learnt a lot during the process.
I got out of the industry for a few years, worked a corporate job for a tech company and discovered that even though I had a great job with good pay and lots of international travel, I still needed to do something creative. I ended up quitting my job and going to back to studying photography as I had fallen in love with it during all my international work trips.
I didn't go back to study photography to shoot music, I just sort of fell into it. I needed models for assignments so because my friends were in bands, I would use them and sometimes the shots would then get used for press. I was also pretty bad at shooting things like still life and landscapes, one day my teacher saw some of my live photos and said that I should quit studying, move to America and start shooting music. I didn't (maybe I should have, ha) but it did put the idea in my head that I could become a music photographer. So I started practicing my technique for portraits, took any opportunity to shoot any gig I could and basically worked my butt off and tried to take the best pictures I possibly could. And that's still what I'm doing today.
Was there a defining moment or big break for you within the music photography industry? I still don't think I've had that 'Big Break' I've still got a long way to go to achieve the things I hope to achieve and in the scheme of things on an international scale, I'm still pretty much an unknown.
When I was starting out, I was really conscious of being 'that guy' who was once a sound engineer but now was a photographer. So I worked hard at my craft and waited until I felt like I had images that were just as good as the guys who I would be competing for work with before trying to contact those clients. Once I had the folio, I started contacting some of the publications, labels and bands in Australia that I wanted to work with and luckily they liked what I was doing.
I've also tried to have regular events and other stories each year, to help push my brand and public profile. These are all little stepping-stones in a hopefully long career. I put on my own exhibition in 2011, I was runner up in the professional category of the first NME photo comp in 2011, in 2009 – 2012 I did sxsw to help with meeting international clients, I've had a couple of Rolling Stone covers published, I self published and funded a book on my work with Soundwave Festival, I've spoken at a few design conferences and sat on a few music panels.
Soundwave Festival has been a big help and a blessing in pushing my public profile and meeting lots of industry people, but again it's just a small part of my work as a music photographer.
It was Adam Elmakias who suggested we contact you for an interview. He clearly admires your work and you can tell he has been influenced by you. Adam is a brilliant photographer but just as important, he is a very suave businessman. I learnt early on that to be successful in this industry, it takes a lot more than being able to take great photos.
We asked Adam what would he like us to ask you about. He wanted to know how many shoots you do a year also how much of a fan of music you are. I probably do around 50 portrait shoots are year, which is a lot to try and stay creative. And around 80 gigs a year give or take a few.
I love music, that's why I got into this industry. I love working with musicians and putting a visual element to the music they make. I find it hard to go to live shows now without shooting. It's hard to enjoy a gig on a personal level when you're working it, as it's a different frame of mind. But if I go to a gig without a camera, I'm always watching it thinking about the photos I could have taken, ha.
The wide-angle shot from overhead the stage is a shot we've only seen captured really successfully by Adam and yourself. Who was the first? I had the idea back in 2012, with the 1dx, you can connect the camera to a computer using cat 5 and control it with the canon software. I had the idea to mount it on a lighting truss so you could look directly down on the band and see the band and the crowd. Depending on the venue, it can be a tricky thing to pull off as the camera needs to be mounted on the lighting truss before it's flown. And once it's up and doors are open, there's not really much you can do it if stops communicating. I powered the camera with 240 volts so I didn't have to worry about the battery running out and triggered it using a mac. That way I can see the image in real time and adjust the camera settings if I need too. I've also done it a few times by remotely triggering it with the camera I'm shooting on the ground with, but I find it's sometimes hard to nail the exact moment.
Adam came to my studio to shoot A Day To Remember in 2014 when he was out on Soundwave and said he really wanted to have a go at trying some shots like that, so I told him how I did mine and he went and figured out a way to do his. They look rad.
Are you generally hired to go on tour with a band or are you hired per show? There are not a lot of touring bands in Australia with the budget for a touring photographer. Australia is a big place and once a band can afford it, they fly between shows. This also adds a huge expense to touring personnel. Flights plus accommodation quickly adds up before they've even paid your fee so not a lot of bands can afford it. There also aren't a lot of places to play in metropolitan cities. A capital city tour can be just five shows.
I did plenty of tours when I was younger with bands that travelled in 12 seater vans overnight between shows and slept on floors which is all part of starting out in a band, but unfortunately as bands get bigger, the costs get bigger quite quickly.
I probably do about 3 Australian tours a year and get O/S about once a year, but most of my gig work is per show.
You control three different photography brands:
www.theartofcapture.com, www.bigcitylights.com and www.kanyelens.com.
Can you give us the background to these sites and what let you to set up these different business models? The Art of Capture is my folio site. Purely a site that I can direct potential clients to, to see my work. This is the name I run my business under and is meant to be more of a professional industry brand.
Kanye Lens was a nickname given to me years ago whilst on a tour and it kind of stuck. I use this pseudonym as my public profile brand, it's meant to be kind of fun and to give myself, as a photographer, a brand that has value of more than just being a photographer. I also use this name for my social media. In hindsight creating just one brand might have been less confusing but I still don't really know what I'm trying to achieve, ha.
Big City Lights is the name of the commercial studio I work out of.
How would you describe the way you go about your professional photography set up? I've always tried to buy the best equipment I could, even when I couldn't afford it, (I had a huge credit card debt for years which I don't recommend.) I don't want to have to worry about my equipment, I just want it to work, and so the professional bodies, lenses etc are built to take a lot of punishment. I also want the piece of mind that I have the best equipment so that I can purely focus on taking the best images I can for my clients.
When you get commissioned to cover a show do you fly solo or do you now have a team / staff to assist you? I'm always flying solo, I just don't have the budgets to have people travelling with me. If I'm covering a festival and I need extra shooters, I use local people. I would love to have the same people with me all the time, but it's just not financially feasible.
What's your take on what seems to be a very densely crowded industry of music photographers these days? I'm sure it's a little different in every territory but I feel like new music photographers aren't setting themselves up with a sustainable business model. I understand everyone has to start somewhere and you need to get experience. I started off working for free sometimes, or for very little but I also had something I wanted to get out of it, be it, making a new contact, the experience or shots for my folio. But it was always with bands that otherwise couldn't afford a photographer.
I'm starting to see more often that younger photographers seem to spend more time on selling a "smoke and mirrors" dream of being on tour to social media, than figuring out how they are going to make a living and becoming a better photographer. This also perpetuates a really unrealistic dream to up and coming photographers.
I've seen photographers paying their own way to go on tour with bands who could afford to pay for them. Once you start selling yourself like this, it's really hard to start to expect clients to pay for your work. You are also taking paid work away from other photographers.
When you're younger it's exciting to be out on the road with friends, seeing new places and meeting new people but if you want to move out of your parents house one day, you need to figure out how you are going to make an income. One day you are going to have bills to pay, a mortgage, buy new equipment, pay insurance and save some money for a rainy day. You need to figure this out early on or one day you'll have to stop doing it because you will need to "get a real job".
Photographers have to find a way to differentiate themselves from each other and find a way of selling themselves that is true to themselves and the photos they create. It's not as easy as it sounds is it?
It's incredibly hard. What Adam Elmakias has done with his tour prints has spawned so many copycats and while this may work for Adam, will not work for everyone. Adam has been really lucky with his lens bracelet business working for him while he has been busy setting up other parts of his empire.
Great photos will help you cut through the over crowded marketplace but I think it also takes something else to really add value to you which in turn adds value to your clients. One of those things can be creativity. People can imitate you, but you can always be one step ahead in what you're offering your clients. I've got a few new ideas…
How do you see the music photography industry in 2015? I think it's only going to get harder for the photographers who are working for media. Music based publications are dwindling, the online magazines, still don't have much in the way of budgets and so many people continue to giveaway their work in order to get a foot in the door.
I think photographers working directly with bands need to come up with some different ways of monetising the content. It's great to have a photographer on tour catching great moments but what do you do with all the content and how do you make money from it?
I know I seem to speak about money a lot but you have to remember the huge change in the music industry since digital downloads. Like it or not, bands are a business and they need to make money to keep their band alive. I'm sure you're great fun to have a long for the ride, but if you can also help them make money from the content you create for them, you are going to be a lot more important to them.
How do you see it changing over the next couple of years? Any predictions? I'm not really sure where it's going to go, but I know that for photographers to make money, the people who are using the content need to make money whether it's a band or media. As a photographer I would like to see more quality and less quantity.
There's a lot of coverage these days on blogs and social groups on artists releases and rights grabs for photographers to sign before shooting a show. What's your take on this widely discussed issue within our industry? How do you go about protecting your photos? I understand why artists have these agreements to protect themselves against mis use of images such as merchandise etc, it's just a shame that it's overkill and at the expense of the photographer not being able to do what they should have the rights to do with their images. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do. If you don't want to agree to the terms, don't shoot the artist.
In regards to my own work, I don't put a lot of stuff online so I don't see a lot of it being misused in a commercial sense. I do see a lot of it on personal pages, blogs and bands, but there isn't much you can do about it, for me it's not worth worrying about. I would only pursue copyright violation if an image is being used for commercial purposes.
What is in your kit bag?
- 2 x Canon 1dx
- 24 -70mm mk 2
- 70 – 200mm mk 2
- 16 – 35mm mk 2
- 50mm 1.2
- 24mm 1.4
- 15mm 2.8
- 2 x 580 ex 2
- Monopod
- Apple laptop
Which music photographers do you most admire? Danny Clinch and Jim Marshall.
Using your experience and knowledge of the industry – what tips do you have for a beginner in music photography? Shoot, shoot, shoot. Practice makes perfect. Start shooting with your local bands, through your local scene you will meet new people and your circle of relationships will keep expanding.
Wait until you have some great images that are just as good as the work you are trying to get commissioned before contacting potential clients.
Learn about the music industry. The better you understand how the industry works and what the current issues are etc, the more likely you will be able to see potential ideas to help you differentiate yourself from your peers.
Look at different visual mediums and see how you can apply it to your work. Look at the masters of music photography, because if they had a career in it, they must have been more than just a great photographer.
Be yourself. There is no room for egos in music photography. That's what the artists are for. Oh snap!
Just go for it!
And what tips would you give to a music photographer on the verge of going professional? You have to love it! Really love it. There are easier ways to make money from photography such as weddings or commercial work. Music photography won't pay as well as those other businesses so you need to do it for the love of it. Not the popularity or the money.
Think differently about potential ways you can make money from your music photography business. The more different income streams you have, the less vulnerable you are if one of them changes.

How to Live in a Tiny House Without Breaking the Law
How can you make sure your tiny home isn't an outlaw? Let's review the most common issues when it comes to planning, zoning, and building your tiny house.
For some of us, living in a tiny house is the dream—the ultimate minimalist lifestyle, a chance to be closer to nature, with none of the stress of paying off a mortgage for the rest of our prime years.
But before you start plotting your new life in a diminutive dwelling, it's important to remember that these cute creations still occupy a gray zone. The law often sees tiny houses as ambiguous little islands floating somewhere between camper vans (aka recreational vehicles), mobile homes, and traditional single-family residences. So it's easy to get confused about what's legal and what's not.
So how can you make sure your tiny home isn't an outlaw? Let's go over some of the most common issues when it comes to planning, zoning, and building your tiny house.
Decide which type of tiny home you want
First, a quick primer on tiny homes: To officially be "tiny," the house has to be 400 square feet or less (excluding lofts), according to the International Code Council. Tiny homes also come in two different types: movable (on wheels) or stationary (on a foundation). Which one you pick will largely influence where you're allowed to live, so it's important to know what's what.
"There's a lot of confusion in the [tiny home] community," says Andrew Morrison, who builds tiny homes and co-wrote the National Tiny House Building Code. "The house has to be put on a foundation for it to be an actual house."
Why does it matter? If your tiny house has wheels, it may fall under the recreational vehicle code, which is far less stringent than the code required for a house on a foundation. But that flexibility comes with a catch: If you build using an RV code, it will be a lot harder to get residential status if you want to settle down later on. (More on that later.)
On the other hand, tiny homes on foundations fall under the same building code as residential homes. This can throw a loop in zoning regulations, which often require buildings to be more than 70 square feet, but not less than 1,000. The square footage required also depends on which county or city you're planning to build in. In some places, it's illegal to build a home smaller than a certain square footage. So make sure to check your local ordinances before you get started.
Decide where you're going to park it
Maybe you've been dreaming of tiny-home living on your favorite waterfront spot. No neighbors, no traffic, no noise except for the sounds of nature. But we've got bad news: You can't plunk down a tiny home just anywhere.
You'll need to start by calling your planning or zoning department to ask about the local ordinances: Are there any restrictions on areas where you're thinking of building? How are tiny homes zoned, what's the required square footage, and where are tiny homes allowed?
Of course, some spots are more friendly toward tiny homes than others. Some communities, such as Sarasota County, FL, and Philadelphia, have no size restrictions for tiny houses as long as they meet building codes. Other jurisdictions, like El Paso County, CO, are adopting new legislation to allow tiny homes wherever mobile homes are allowed—usually in unincorporated areas.
Then there are cities that allow tiny homes as accessory dwelling units, which means they can be put on a property that already has a residential home. (This is more common in urban areas such as Los Angeles; Portland, OR; and Seattle, where it's still under consideration.)
To find out more info for a particular area, check the national, state, and local regulations compiled by the American Tiny House Association.
"If you can, forming an advocacy group will be to your benefit—the more public interest, the better," says Alexis Stephens, co-director of Tiny House Expedition. "Together you can set up an educational session for your city officials and planners."
So what does a tiny home need to be up to code?
Whether or not you build the house yourself or hire someone to do it, it'll have to meet your local building codes.
"Facilities for eating, sleeping, washing, and living are required, plus a source of heat," Morrison says.
It sounds pretty standard, right? Here are some other things a tiny house must have in order to be up to code:
- Plumbing: A tiny house requires at least one separate bathroom.
- Stairs: Tiny homes are allowed to have stairs, including ladders, ship ladders, or alternative ways for people to reach the loft.
- Minimum ceiling height: The habitable space must have a minimum ceiling height of 6 feet 8 inches. Bathrooms and kitchens can be a bit lower, at 6 feet 4 inches.
- Emergency exits: Tiny houses must have a skylight or roof access window to escape in case of emergency.
- Windows: A tiny house does not need a minimum number of windows, but has to meet the standard for emergency exits.
The tricky part about building your home as an RV
If you build your tiny home on wheels, you have a lot more flexibility. But you'll operate under a whole different set of regulations, some of which are quite constrictive. In fact, many local ordinances prohibit people from taking up permanent residence in RVs.
"Therefore, they end up with an illegal home," Morrison says. "There are some exceptions, but in general, an RV is not a tiny house and can't be substituted for one."
So before you go this route, check local restrictions.

In a heat wave, the snow, the mountains of Colorado - technicians need to perform repairs and inspections at a moment's notice and as efficiently as possible. In our ongoing pursuit to make our mobile application simpler, we're implementing the following enhancements:
- Switching "Actions" and "Details" tabs so that "Actions" appears first. What's more, the action items will be reconfigured to only the work order process flow items - Accept, Arrive, Complete - in the technician's view. Service center administrators using the mobile app will still have the capability to assign events to technicians, who will receive a mobile push notification.
- Removing the option to reject service events. To lesson confusion between dispatchers and technicians when events are prematurely rejected, the button to reject service events on the mobile app will be removed. Events can still be rejected by service centers on the web portal and technicians can communicate directly with dispatchers in the comments section on the mobile app.
- Including tire information in inspection forms. When tire components are marked defective, the technician will be prompted to enter information such as the brand, tread depth, and DOT number.
- Rewording "Serial #" to "DOT #" and "Location" as "Position." These terms are more relevant to the commercial trucking and intermodal industries and provide a more clear understanding of line items required to complete a service event or inspection.
Does your team of technicians have suggestions for simplifying the mobile app? Submit feedback to email@example.com to discuss what would make their experience better.
If you have a REACH account and would like to use the mobile app, download for iOS here or download for Android here. If you do not have an account and are interested in learning more, contact us for how to get started.
