Palos Verdes Estates, CAHome Menu
Cellular Facilities
Over the years, the City has heard from residents expressing their discontent with the availability and options for local internet service and cell phone coverage. The City has consistently responded that telecommunication services are a utility and private-sector business not regulated or provided by cities, and as such, it's a market-driven decision by the service providers to install the infrastructure and implement services for residents.
Approximately a year ago, Crown Castle on behalf of AT&T submitted approximately 20 applications to install cell sites throughout the Palos Verdes Estates to provide and improve telecommunication services to customers. State and Federal laws, and a variety of Court rulings prescribe and limit all cities' ability to influence the locations for cell sites. In fact, cities can only control "time, place and manner," and under, the Palos Verdes Estates Municipal Code (PVEMC) Chapter 18.55, we specifically regulate the location, design, and aesthetics of wireless facilities or commercial antennas. In support of this, Palos Verdes Estates won a landmark case before the U.S. Supreme Court in that was just reaffirmed last month that provides cities with the authority to control the aesthetics of cell sites.
The City is continuing to work its way through the Crown Castle applications. They are before the Planning Commission for a determination of the least intrusive locations in the community given Crown Castle's absolute right to install cell sites in the public rights-of-way. Unfortunately, the location(s) of cell sites may not be desirable to all residents, but under the conditions established by State and Federal law, there is little-to-no City discretion in the location of their siting. The denial of a location may, in turn, result in a lawsuit against the City.
Wireless facilities may be located on private property (e.g., commercial and residential properties), publicly-owned property (Parklands, City Hall), or within the public rights-of-way (parkways or medians). There are numerous existing cell sites throughout the City in Parklands, on commercial property, within the City right-of-way, and on residential property. When feasible, the City steers new wireless facilities to be located at the same site as existing similar facilities (known as "collocation"), or on City-owned poles (e.g., stop signs) or utility poles. The City's design guidelines require that facilities be designed to be as visually unobtrusive as possible, and the approval process strives to minimize the number of installations irrespective of the location.
In the upcoming months, the Planning Commission is expected to make a decision on the applications before them. Their decisions go to the City Council for confirmation unless appealed by an interested party or the applicant. If the Planning Commission decision is appealed, the City Council will hear the application "de novo" (anew) to come to its own decision. The City Council may deny the appeal (affirm the Planning Commission decision), approve the appeal (reject the Planning Commission decision), modify the decision of the Planning Commission or remand the application back to the Planning Commission with directions for its reconsideration. The City Council's decision is final and only subject to change by a Court as a result of a lawsuit.
The City has prepared a FAQ about cell sites that is posted on our website; please see the link below or call the Planning Department at 310.378.0383 for more information. In the meantime, please know that the City continues to work at finding the least intrusive locations for cell sites within its authority prescribed by law.

Last month, Morrissey announced his upcoming album/new working autobiography title, Low in High School. High off of a slew of concert cancellations in support of 2014's flop, World Peace is None of Your Business, Morrissey's new album will reportedly explore the "zeitgeist of an ever-changing world." Low in High School features tracks with distinctly Morrissey-esque titles such as "Home is a Question Mark" and "When You Open Your Legs," and earlier this week, we were treated to a look at its lead single, "Spent the Day in Bed." It's essentially an anti-capitalist defense of inaction and alienation, featuring some inexplicable DJ scratching and too many synths. Give it a listen below:
Low in High School is set to drop on November 17th.
In other Debbie Downer news, notorious fun-ruiner Yoko Ono has demanded that a Polish beverage maker change the name of their popular lemonade brand, the John Lemon. Ono has threatened legal action, claiming that the name infringes upon John Lennon's trademark, though the trademark for John Lemon was registered a whole two years before Lennon's own name. Still, advertisements for the drink have featured Lennon's likeness and lyrics, and, rather than face legal repercussions, the John Lemon will henceforth be known as the way-less-snappy "On Lemon." The infringement accusations in the musical world don't stop there: the songwriters for 3LW's hit song "Playas Gon' Play" are claiming they deserve a cut of the pie for Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off." Admittedly, the lyrics are pretty similar, though there really can't be too many creative ways to say "playas gonna play" and "haters gonna hate." Swift claims that this is nothing but a "money grab," though I'm sure she has plenty to spare.
Finally, wet blanket guru Billy Corgan--the artist formerly known as the only remaining member of the Smashing Pumpkins--has released a trailer for the short film that will go along with his upcoming album, Ogilala. Apparently it's a new year and a new Billy Corgan--the album will be attributed to the much more official "William Patrick Corgan"--but so far nothing about the trailer for the movie, titled Pillbox, stands out as new territory for Corgan. It's a silent film featuring crackly war footage and lots of intense stares. Watch the trailer for Pillbox below:

text: What a lovely way to spend a birthday –a trip to Brighton with fish and chips on the pier followed by a bit of fun on the ghost train. Birthday girl Naomi had a great day and so did everyone else from The Laurels who accompanied her. At Dolphin Homes we love to get out and about and to enjoy ourselves too and this was certainly a seaside day out to remember.


text:
So many times we hear Bible verses quoted out of context. Scripture is exploited to control people, or push them away from God, or applied in hopes of personal gain.
Below are three such Scriptures, here listed in context to better understand their meaning and intent. All emphasis is the author's.
"Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:19)
Jesus introduces his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew, Chapters 5, 6 and 7) with the Beatitudes, and explains the natural outcome of this character we receive through abiding in him is being salt and light. Jesus prefaces the remainder of his sermon with the statement above. He speaks about being the fulfillment of Mosaic Law (the Law and the Prophets, the entire Old Testament), yet in the same breath says not a single dot over an "i" or cross over a "t" must be ignored. To what does he refer?
He refers to what he is about to tell us – his commands to us. In this Sermon, Jesus correctly interprets Old Testament law previously misinterpreted and applied by religious leaders. Jesus focuses on the intent and meaning of the God-given Ten Commandments. By doing this, he speaks to our hearts.
He shows us what a disciple of his looks like. He illustrates, not new laws or a moral code, but what kingdom living should be. This is what calls us to be "greater than the scribes and Pharisees." It is not simply an outward adherence to a list of items to be checked; it is an inner transformation of mind and heart which then leads to the expected outcome: love and action.
"In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12)
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8)
Many Christians believe if they evoke these verses, whatever they ask of God should be given simply because they asked! The truth is, Jesus said this in the context of the Sermon on the Mount.
Don't be angry; do not covet; go the extra mile; love and pray for your enemies; pray, fast and tithe in private.
Honor God's name. Surrender yourself so God can use you to build His kingdom here on earth. Don't worry or be anxious about tomorrow; simply ask for provision for today. Ask forgiveness as you forgive others. Pray to be removed from temptation of your own making and to be delivered from the evil one.
Refrain from judging; take a look at yourself and your own condition before you leap to judge another.
And in all this, ask for help from Jesus. Seek power from the Holy Spirit to accomplish this. Continue to knock upon the door of grace and compassion, and you will receive wisdom and strength to do what he has asked of you.
Why? Because the manifestation of the kingdom of God on earth occurs when we love one another.
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:13)
Sports figures use it to ensure they win in competition. Salespeople use it to accomplish their goals. Students use it to get "As" on tests. "Ministers" misuse it to teach anyone can be prosperous.
James, the brother of Jesus, wrote, "When you ask, you don't receive anything, because the reason you ask is wrong. You only want to use it for your own pleasure." (James 4:3)
The truth about these powerful words is the apostle Paul wrote them to encourage members of the church in Philippi to being content. Paul wanted to comfort and inspire them to keep their eyes on Jesus because they were being persecuted for being Christ followers.
Paul explains that Christ helps us to be content whether we have much or little, whether we are in ill or good health, whether we have cause to celebrate or grieve. When he wrote this letter, he was in a Roman prison. Here is his complete thought:
"I've learned to be content in whatever situation I'm in. I know how to live in poverty or prosperity. No matter what the situation, I've learned the secret of how to live when I'm full or when I'm hungry, when I have too much or when I have too little. I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." (4:11-14)
As Christ followers, it is simply not our destiny to have lovely, perfect lives. We will have troubles in this life as we walk the narrow, difficult road behind our Lord and Savior. But it is not about us. It is about absolute loyalty to the eternity of the kingdom of God and absolute trust in the One who abides in our hearts.
"And He said to them all, 'If any of you wishes to follow me, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me.'" (Luke 9:23)

Sony announced two new television series, both offering unprecedented picture quality by virtue of employing multiple proprietary technologies and solutions with the next generation Picture Processor X1TM Ultimate at the fore. The new A9F and Z9F series arrive as the MASTER Series—a name Sony reserves exclusively for its highest picture quality TV models. Sony's goal is to create a television capable of displaying images that faithfully convey the creators' full intent and as such the MASTER Series provides picture quality approaching that of a professional-grade monitor in a motion picture production studio. Having developed and followed a very strict set of product evaluation criteria by its most experienced picture quality engineers, Sony is confident the flagship MASTER Series delivers the highest quality picture possible in a home setting.
Sony A9F series
Sony Z9F series
Both the A9F and Z9F MASTER Series models come equipped with a newly developed, next-generation Picture Processor X1TM Ultimate. This processor plays a vital role in delivering the faithful picture in the MASTER Series. For this series, in conjunction with Netflix, Sony is now introducing "Netflix Calibrated Mode." This unique feature was specially developed to mirror the same picture quality as a studio evaluation master for television in order to preserve the artists' creative vision and intent. For more information on these innovative products, check this link.
5. Homegrown design agency Charlton Design celebrates 30 years in Singapore
Established some 30 years ago in 1988, homegrown design agency Charlton Design is today helmed by Gary Ong, the son of its original founder Ong Ka Bio. Charlton Design prides itself on being one of the few interior design agencies in Singapore that still operates a workshop in Singapore for all its carpentry works to ensure a consistently high standard for all its projects, amidst a common sentiment to save on carpentry costs by outsourcing such jobs overseas. Over the past 30 years, Charlton Design has amassed an impressive portfolio of design works, comprising residential, commercial, and retail projects of well-known brands and local homeowners alike.
"In interior design and renovation, apart from knowledge of spatial proportions, colour schemes, and colour combinations, you need passion, patience, and a ready smile to handle different types of clients and their design demands. At Charlton Design, we surely have an abundance of passion, topped off with 30 years of experience, to always delivery the highest standards of service and products to our clients. Our experienced and dedicated team of designers take pride in what they do and keep abreast with new design trends," said Gary Ong, Director of Charlton Design.

Brotherly love
15 June 2018
You need your taxes done and your brother is an accountant.
It only seems logical you would ask him to do it as a favour. Well, a great story popped up on thepoke.co.uk, where the brothers accountancy bill went viral. The brother in question got the preparation of accounts for free, but there were some interesting add-ons! Among the list of charges which added up to $2,893.42 were an obnoxious fee of $210; interest on a $10 loaned in high school to go to the carnival $678.42; an extremely grumpy fee of $300; and brother fee of $225. Oh, and we forgot to mention the high maintenance fee of $500

WOW! It sounds so cliche to say this but the time has really flown by! I can't believe that we only have 6 more weeks before we will be commissioned and on our way back to Holly Springs! I'm so amazed and blessed by all that God has been doing in us through this process. We have learned and grown so much in so many ways since moving to Nashville last August and we are continually grateful that God allowed us to have this unbelievable experience.
Since we are already halfway through May and only 6 weeks from returning to Holly Springs, we are beginning the process of wrapping up our training and preparing to make the transition to go back "home". As you can imagine, this is a bittersweet time for us. We have had some wonderful experiences and made some incredible new friends over the course of this year and it will be sad to be pulling away. We knew in our heads that this time would come and it would have to be this way but now we are beginning to feel it in our hearts. At the same time we are really excited about returning to our friends, our house, our neighborhood, and our town. As Dorothy said – there's no place like home! (Although we feel that Nashville is definitely a "second" home and we hope to come back as often as we can.) We are also excited about implementing all that God has been showing and teaching us over the course of this last year and beginning the work of connecting people in Holly Springs and beyond to an overflowing relationship with Jesus!
During this transition, we have been going back over a lot of what we have learned and making revisions to our strategies, structures, and systems. Once we get back, there are likely going to be several more major revisions we will have to make as we get a greater understanding of what God is already doing, what the obstacles are, and how He wants to use us to connect people to Him. We have also been in the process of fundraising and recruiting – which will continue all the way up until LifeSpring launches weekly services in fall of 2015. Then we'll begin our post-launch fundraising and recruiting! Speaking of – LET US KNOW if God is leading YOU to partner with us in advancing His Kingdom! (Click HERE to find out how!) God has already blessed us with a growing team of prayer warriors, financial partners, church partners, and Launch Team members!
We are also beginning to work through all of the logistics of getting moved back: when we'll move out of here and move in there, who will be able to help on each end, financial stuff, getting Bailey finished with school here (her last day is next week!) and ready to start school in July, etc. Part of that process also includes throwing some parties! We will have a party here (date?) to say goodbye to our Nashville friends and once we get back we will hopefully have a few parties to say hello to our friends in the Raleigh area. We will let you know those dates and locations as soon as we get them nailed down. (Let me know if you might be able to host or help with one!)
THANK YOU for your continual prayers, encouragement, and support throughout this wild journey! We have been so blessed by the cards, emails, phone calls, and even visits from so many of you! God is using you in vital ways to make what we are doing possible and we couldn't do it without your faithful support! We are so thankful for you!!
What we are excited about and praying for…
- We are thankful for a great recruiting trip to Exponential in Orlando!
- We are praying more and more for God to show us the next steps in this journey and for the faith to be obedient.
- We pray that God will open our eyes to the physical, emotional, and spirit needs in the lives of people so that we will be aware of their pain, struggles, hopes, and dreams so that we can explore ways to meet those needs with the love and power of Christ.
- We also pray that God will prepare the hearts of those in the community to be receptive to us and to the Gospel. We are praying for our neighbors who aren't connected to Christ or to a Gospel-centered church. We pray that God will open doors for relationships through which we can sow the seeds of the Gospel as well as lead us to people of influence in strategic neighborhoods and businesses.
- We are praying for God to continue to supply the right people and resources at the right time. We pray that He will continue to prepare the hearts of those He wants on our team or that have the resources needed to accomplish His vision. We praise God for the ways He has already demonstrated His faithfulness by allowing us to get this level of training and by prompting several churches and individuals to partner with us to make disciples in Holly Springs and beyond!
- We are praying that Dawn will be able to find a great job quickly once we return to Holly Springs.
- We are praying for our fellow TRAIN Residents Steve & Joy Cho (@launchchurch) as they prepare to move to Seoul, Korea to plant Launch Church and for Brian & Sarah Drinkwine (@briandrinkwine) as they gear up to start Echo Church in west Nashville.

The Sixth Sunday After Pentecost
(Readings: Genesis 25.19-34; Psalm 119.105-112; Romans 8.1-11; Matthew 13.1-23)
This Sunday we will consider together Jesus well known parable of 'The Sower'.
Here we are invited to consider the purpose of the parables and are offered insight into the different responses to Jesus stories. Some refuse to hear. Some put down no roots. Some are distracted by the world around them. Others produce a crop.
And yet, Jesus continues to lavishly sow seed in each of these different places. It would seem that even in the sharing of the Word God is staggeringly gracious!
Our senior priest, Reverend Mark Beresford, will be our preacher today.
Today Holy Communion will be offered at both St Barnabas (9:00am) and at St Michael's (11:00am). All Are welcome!

Upcoming events to celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week with two renowned speakers
Jasmine Grillmeier
November 15, 2015
Ohio University will host two events on campus, on Monday, Nov. 16 and Thursday, Nov. 19 from 5:30 - 7 p.m. in the Baker University Center Theater, featuring renowned speakers on entrepreneurship in celebration of the eight annual Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW). GEW is the world's largest celebration of entrepreneurship, with events in 157 countries garnering over eight million participants every year.
The first event, from 5:30-7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16, in the Baker University Center Theater, will focus on promoting innovation around the world. An engaging discussion by Foreign Service Officer, Randy Fleitman, will bring attention to the world of international economic development and the role global entrepreneurship plays in achieving a more secure, democratic and prosperous world. He will speak about how the U.S. State Department, U.S. embassies and other U.S. government agencies promote innovation, entrepreneurship and inclusive economic growth to create global market opportunities for U.S. exporters and investors and will also welcome questions about State Department careers and life in Foreign Service.
Since 1986, Fleitman's career as Foreign Service Officer has focused on poverty reduction and inclusive economic development through market-based investment and trade. Currently the Director of Textile Trade in the office of U.S. Trade Representative, he works on textile issues stemming from free trade agreements and trade benefit programs. Among his previous positions, Fleitman served as deputy director of the Office of Intellectual Property Enforcement in the State Department's Bureau of Economic Affairs, where he focused on promoting innovation and technology transfer.
The second event, 5:30-7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19, in the Baker University Center Theater, will focus on how to become a world changer by crushing mediocrity. René Banglesdorf, CEO of Charlie Bravo Aviation, will tackle questions such as "You want to change the world but aren't sure how to do it," "What happens when life happens," and "What can you do today to set yourself up for success?" In honor of Women's Entrepreneurship Day, Banglesdorf will also speak on how women need to challenge themselves to strive for excellence in business and in life.
Banglesdorf's company, Charlie Bravo Aviation, became the first broker and dealer of aircrafts to be certified as woman-owned in 2009. Banglesdorf is a leading voice for women in the business aviation industry and an active member of the Women Presidents Organization, International Aviation Women's Association, the National Business Aircraft Association and the National Transportation Association President's Council.
This seminar is sponsored by the Center for Entrepreneurship, Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, TechGROWTH Ohio, OHIO Women in Business and ohiowomen.

My Dear Tejas gives to Global Giving's Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund
With your help, we are giving to Global Giving's Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund!
The inspiration for My Dear Tejas came after a visit to West Texas in early January and I decided to do the production of our jackets and bags in a small town in East Texas. Even though Texas won't be a home for me for a little while longer, My Dear Tejas would like to contribute towards rebuilding after Hurricane Harvey.
The organic cotton canvas totes made in San Francisco are $18.00 and all proceeds will be donated to Global Giving for Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund.

Reports broke earlier in the week that Google might exit the Chinese market.
Yesterday, Google turned the matter into a political drama with its official
explanation. In a post entitled "A new approach to China" on the Official Google Blog, Google's Chief Legal Officer David
Drummond details why his company is
considering leaving: it stumbled onto and was the victim of a "highly
sophisticated and targeted attack" that resulted in the theft of
intellectual property.
Google believes that the attack's purpose was to access Gmail accounts
of Chinese human rights activists. It claims that "twenty other large
companies from a wide range of businesses" were targeted and says it is
working with the United States government.
While Drummond doesn't directly accuse the Chinese government of being
behind the attacks, that accusation is pretty clear if you read between
the lines.
The story reads like something out of a Hollywood political thriller
and while Google deserves some respect for standing up to the
Chinese government, as with any good political thriller, I think
there's far more to the story than meets the eye. After all, up until this point Google
willingly complied with the Chinese government to protect its interests in
China. Now, however, it wants us to believe that a hacker attack with the
"primary goal" of accessing Gmail accounts of human rights activists in
China has led it to conclude that a Chinese business may be untenable.
Plenty of people buy the story and are praising Google. But praise requires some form of amnesia. That's because no matter how much "discomfort" Google felt when it agreed
to censor search results in China, it knew what the implications of
that censorship were and it knew who the censorship would hurt (hint: the same people this attack reportedly targeted).
There was plenty of outrage when Google made its censorship decision but clearly the Chinese market was more
important to Google at the time than its "do no evil" mantra, and its
decision to censor reflects that.
So what gives now? It's hard to buy that this attack, however disturbing, is driving Google to rethink censorship and stand up for human rights. No, it's my opinion that Google may be using the attack as an excuse to set the stage for an exit from the Chinese market that doesn't require admitting what amounts to defeat.
While JPMorgan estimates that closing up shop in China could cost
Google up to $600m/year in revenue, that's a drop in the bucket for
Google overall. And when you look at Google market share in China, where it
trails Baidu in paid search by a hefty margin, it's pretty clear that
Google is far from the 800 pound gorilla that it's used to being
elsewhere in the world.
The problem for Google, of course, is that this says more about Google
than it does about the Chinese market. We're talking about what will eventually be the largest
consumer market in the world here. Google may not yet dominate search in China and will probably never dominate it, but make no mistake about it: China is really
important to Google, as it is to so many large global companies. As JPMorgan analyst Imran Khan has noted, "If
Google is not allowed to operate in China this could potentially have a
far-reaching impact on the company's overall long-term growth rate".
That statement is spot on, but if Google management lacks confidence
in the company's ability to make greater inroads in China, pulling out
of the country on moral grounds might be an easier way to let
shareholders down than "Sorry! We just can't compete in China." So far, Google shareholders don't seem concerned. Yesterday, Google stock dropped by a little more than half a percent. Baidu's stock, on the other hand, soared more than 13%. A clear reflection that Google's move is probably more important to Baidu than Google in the immediate term.
It would be unwise to assume, however, that Google is simply throwing in the towel on China so abruptly. It
appears that by publicly revealing the information it has in the way it has, Google is hoping it
can pressure the Chinese government to renegotiate the rules of the
game. Indeed, Drummond writes in his post that "over the next few weeks
we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we
could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all". The question is whether Google is delusional or devilishly brilliant.
While it would be a major shocker if the Chinese government agreed to let it run an unfiltered search engine, that's probably not Google's real goal. Realistically, Google is probably hoping to win some concessions
that can help it compete more effectively in the Chinese
market. If the political fallout is strong
enough, there's a long-shot chance that the Chinese government will
give in some due to the scrutiny and pressure. Again, this is a long shot by any stretch of the imagination but if it happened, Google will have pulled off a real
coup d'état. If the Chinese government stands firm, as it is likely to do, Google can follow through
with its threat to leave China while saving face with shareholders and consumers who still believe "do no evil" holds some meaning. Win-win
for Google management perhaps.
This will be an interesting story to watch on multiple levels. But
don't be fooled by the political and moral overtones. Just as Google's original
agreement to censor search results for the Chinese government was a
calculated business decision, its decision to now turn on the Chinese
government is a calculated business decision too. Whether it has calculated correctly remains to be seen.

carte blanche : "unrestricted power to act at one's own discretion"
Not sure there's ever been a more clear moment of 'carte blanche' than when our first baby came into the world. This photo was taken in those precious moments after he was born and shows our first gaze on him as we held him together. I thought I knew it all…and knew very little! But one thing was so apparent from the very beginning…that we loved him and he was ours.

SOUTHINGTON - Southington police Wednesday arrested a New Britain woman who lied to officers about her name after finding her with drugs and discovering that she had a warrant out for her arrest.
Amy Arnett, 31, was found passed out in a vehicle parked outside the Residence Inn, located at 778 West St., at about 9 a.m. Police had been called there on the report of someone passed out in a car.
Inside the vehicle, police reported seeing wax paper folds, commonly used to package heroin, and brass wires, which are used to smoke crack cocaine. A search of the vehicle turned up suspected crack cocaine, heroin, marijuana, two Oxycodone Hydrochloride pills and a glass cylinder used to smoke crack cocaine.
Officers asked Arnett for identification, but she said she did not have any and gave a name that wasn't hers. Using Department of Motor Vehicle records, police were able to determine that was not Arnett's real name.
Police found that Arnett was wanted for first-degree failure to appear in connection with a case pending in New Britain Superior Court, where she faces charges of second-degree assault, carrying a dangerous weapon and second-degree breach of peace.
Arnett also faces charges in connection with the incident Wednesday. She has been charged with criminal impersonation, use of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance and possession of prescription drugs.
She was held on bond and was scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday in Bristol Superior Court.

Stuck on the train outside Newark. Snow and sleet pouring down, mostly sleet. My seatmate, who works in advertising, is reading James Joyce's Ulysses.
We are in the midst of ice. Cold and ice, beautiful coating on every branch and twig, demanding you look and look again, wondering at the light, the glass covering of what's inside. Ice on the driveway that makes you think about why some of it can be cracked and some of it cannot. Ice by the door that makes you stop and think before you step. Ice that makes the branches of the willow crack and fall, that somehow covers the back yard in bright crystals, that takes the branches from the maple, that coats the dry brown fern.
And, of course, ice that makes us late. We had more storm on Friday that didn't really hurt the commute, just added a little time on the way home, including an extra 30 minutes for scraping the ice off the windshield in the parking lot. But even there, getting to the parking lot is through trees ablaze in light, pink mercury light refracted, and bright stars emerging from above, and in the parking lot the sounds of tink tink tink like a mining camp as everyone stands by a car, fracturing the ice, scraping, pushing it onto the icy ground in quiet little tinklecrashes.
Aboard some delayed Amtrack outside New Brunswich, which now—at, in fact, Jersey Avenue—appears to be slowing down for the count. The temperature climbed to the 40s yesterday, but now there's this big cold front, labeled FRIGID on the Weather Channel's map last night, and blue, colored blue, that is coming through, spelling VERY COLD for the weekend. So, it will freeze outside, making the basement a little drier, since water will not be swooshing through the air hole from the patio into the crawl space under the kitchen, trickling through the little opening, across the crawlspace dirt floor and into the basement, drip drip drip down the cinderblock wall, wending finally across the basement floor to its sump hole destination.
The temperature is plummeting again, weatherman scheduled to stay below freezing for the next few days after thawing just enough to make sure it was rain that fell yesterday, lots, so that the basement began to flood again because of the wending water continued to find the crawl space attractive. It is, sigh, winter. I just wish I could figure out a way to stop up that crawl space air hole before the next thaw.

We have a number of differnt ideas swirling in our heads and a number of different endeavors under way. In addition to promoting civic dialogue, Revolution students have more plans to take action. We have begun writing our "manifesto" and have hopes of getting it published. Students plan to attend gun control demonstrations in US cities. We have begun to speak about mindfulness and have practiced meditation at Rev meetings. We have sought the help of the League of Women Voters, Dan Weeks, and local experts who can help us. There is a lot going on! Fall 2017 to Winter 2018 It has been a difficult year for America and the world. The Revolution students are particularly concerned about the decline of civic dialogue. We seem to distrust each other, our institutions, and the truth. Revolution students want to fight this by bringing back dialogue and renewing faith in the democratic process. It takes work. It takes hope. It takes faith. We have been in touch with experts who are going to help us develop a series of community dialogues. In the process, we hope to bring people together and remind us all that this is our world, that the truth matters, and that our political opponents are adversaries, not enemies. Stay tuned for more information about civic dialogue! Exciting New Things...Spring of 2017 We have just completed our first-ever fund drive and I am humbled and grateful for the outpouring of support. I hope to expand programs, bring in some new resources, bring in guest speakers, and embark on service trips. It is an exciting time for Revolution Ethics, and I hope you want to be a part of it. A Revolution of the Spirit... There are few places left where we can truly be ourselves and come to discover our true spirit. For some of us, religion has lost its meaning, yet we desperately want the kinds of experiences religious communities offer. Amidst the cynicism of the world, we still have hope--yet we don't have a way to express that hope. Our churches and schools don't necessarily speak to us, yet with still have faith, and we still want to learn. We long for a community in which we feel safe, we are challenged, and we work together to give meaning to the world. The Revolution Ethics Project conducts seminars for people of all ages who want to see the world anew and make the world a better place. Led by facilitator/instructor Eric Bowman, the group meets for reading, hearty discussion, intellectual growth and spiritual renewal. Studying some history, philosophy, religion, and literature, we look at current social issues, ethical scenarios, and our own attitudes in an attempt to bring about meaningful change in the world. The next leaders of society will not just be cunning businessmen or ambitious politicians—they will be hopeful, thoughtful, kind-hearted people. These leaders need a place to foster their hope and feed their spirit. The Revolution offers them this. 2016 Academic Year The 2016 academic year is here. We will be starting our meetings again on Wednesday, September 7 at 6:30pm in conference rooms 1 & 2 at Monadnock Hospital. Meetings are open to anyone and I encourage you to bring friends! ... more

A Year in the Making: Part 12
Dreams are a funny thing. I don't know about you, but most of the time I find that when I aspire to great things (say, I don't know, blogging regularly. When did I do this last?!) I often come up short. Way short. What I know to be true, whether I feel it or not, is that this primarily happens when I seek to do things in my own power.
We have arrived at the one year anniversary of our starting Cross Fellowship Church. I am going to spend the next couple of weeks posting about various aspects of that journey, and maybe will invite a few people to join me along the way. Heaven knows that I'm sure plenty of people have plenty to say on the matter.
Let me go ahead and start with the moral of this story: I've discovered over the past year that I've never been much of a man of faith. Now, for those who might have known that I've been in ministry for 17 years, this could be a concern. And you know what? It should be.
I'm not saying that I have lacked belief or convictions. I have had plenty of that along the way. But what church planting has taught my family is that rarely did we have to put much of that into action. We chose times and places to exercise faith that fit into our abilities and schedules. And budgets. Sure, things would get hard over the years in various life situations. In those moments, those trials of faith were real, and I would never want to disparage them.
The reality, however, is that so much professional church life is developed into a sytem to be plugged in to, where people come to you so that you can perform whatever service you were meant to provide them. It's kind of like going to the store. You know what's there, you go and get what you want/need, and then you go home. The people who work at the store, I mean, church, know that usually people come, people go, lives are changed, and the Lord provides. Just keep the schedule full and the people happy. That was my life.
Then a little over a year and a half ago God decided to change all of that for me and my family. What would happen when the entire paradigm of my understanding of church actually got put to the test? You see, over the years in ministry I had many ideas about church. What I think it should be and stuff. Some were plain idiotic. Some may have biblical merrit. But would I stake my life on it? Would I trust God and his Word when all else was stripped away and, as far as the church went, "Behold, he is making all things new?"
I simply can't communicate very well what this last year has been like. It would make your brain hurt. I know this because mine is hurting right now trying to verbalize it. There have been amazing highs and frightening lows. There have been times where I thought, "I can't wait to lead the next great church planting seminar because of how awesome I am." And there have been probably more times where I'm like, "Is Best Buy hiring?" But the great work that God was doing in me, in this paradigm shift I was talking about, was surrounding me with a wonderful group of people who want to live life together in community in such a way that God is glorified and people's lives are changed.
This has been the key for the last year of my life: Gospel community. When people are hurting, when national championships are there to be watched, when marriages are on the rocks, when raucus laughter fills our two-story house from ladies' Bible study (seriously, they are loud), as Eric Liddell once said, "I feel His good pleasure." Our worship gathering is so sweet. Our home Bible studies have been amazing. And the rest of our experience is trying to live life amongst a people who are searching for community and the American dream, but who are in so much pain that they don't know what to do.
This is what our first Sunday looked like last year:
15 people meeting in my house. I'm so grateful for these people who helped us begin a work of faith. While many of them have served their time and moved on to other things, I will forever be thankful to the Lord for providing them. I wish I had a group picture from now to show you where we've come, but that might be distracting anyway. It's not about the number of people we have coming. It's about putting faith in His mission. And let me tell you, that is NOT easy.
Our family has had personal challenges like we've never had before. But God has been faithful. Having heard so many "didn't know how the next bill would be paid but God provided" stories over the years, we were beginning to experience them ourselves. Our methods of "church growth" would be turned on themselves over and over again. Pass out flyers and have a community breakfast? No one would come from that work. But then 10 visiting families just saw a sign and decided to come. There was no rhyme or reason to what would work except one thing: God. No seriously, here's my lesson from the moral of the story:
It's God's church. Not ours. Not mine. It's not GracePointe's baby, it is the bride of Christ. He will work out what he wills. So we joyfully serve him in his endeavor. I believe that now I have a greater idea of what living by faith means. I'm sure there may be trials on my horizon that will test that notion, but for now, I'm grateful for his faithful work in me. I'm grateful for being a bivocational pastor that experiences more things that connect me to my congregation (I work in finance?!). I'm grateful for a family who loved me through some pretty stressed out and ugly moments in my life. I'm grateful for the amazingly kind and encouraging words people have spoken to me at just the right times over the last year. I'm grateful for the support of GracePointe Church, our sending church, in many different ways. And, to be perfectly honest, I'm grateful that we're still here. That it's working. That we have this beautiful, diverse group of people who are buying in to what we're doing. I look forward to sharing more of that story in the next post.

So very blessed and humbled that God has led us to Cross Fellowship to be a part of your ministry. Praying for you always and thank Him for your faithfulness and that you will continue to be His willing servant. I am so grateful and excited at how much more I have learned since attending this church. We love you and your sweet family.
Bro. Jay, I am so glad that God let us share you for a time. I have followed you and Christi and your beautiful children all the way. I am grateful for your and Christi's consistency in the faith. Iam still at East Side although I do visit Redeemer with the kids ever so often, but God has provided East side with a wonderful pastor and I am so grateful for that. Next time I am in Debton on a Sunday, I'll try to come out and visit Cross Fellowship so I can witness first hand what you . have been telling about. God bless.

Illness, injury and no wins that year - but try telling all that to a Pools team full of dogged fight
The signs were not good in 1976.
Pools had got to the latter half of February without registering a win, or many points for that matter.
A 2-3 reverse to Darlington was just one example of the struggles that the Victoria Park outfit were going through that winter.
But there was one match that month that summed up their battling spirit in the face of adversity.
It happened against Bradford City and their performance was so inspiring, it prompted our reporter at the time to write: "They played well enough to suggest they don't have too much to worry about in the remainder of the season."
The two stars in this game were both called Smith – Dave and Rob – and they were both making a return to the starting line-up after missing out in previous games.
Both players were successes in a match where Ken Hale had to change his starting formation to a 4-4-2 line-up because of injuries.
"More chances were created on Saturday but too many of them were missed for comfort," said our man.

The i newsletter cut through the noise
An illness for Paul Bielby meant he missed out and George Potter switched from defence to midfield, while Joe Jacques partnered John Rowlands at the back.
The first half ended goalless but it was a different matter in a lively second half filled with goals.
On 47 minutes, John Honour's right win corner was headed back into the middle by Rowlands and Dave Smith was there to head the ball over visiting keeper Peter Downsborough from close range.
Bradford were back in the game nine minutes later when Graham Richardson in the Pools goal gave away a controversial penalty, by rushing out to try and intercept a cross but apparently pushing McGinley in the process, said the referee.
Ingram sent the keeper the wrong way.
It was Bradford who took the lead just two minutes later when a right-wing cross was punched away by Richardson, but his effort only reached David Hillness, who hammered the ball into the roof of the net.
But Pools were back on level terms on 68 minutes when Rob Smith did well to get a ball through to Honour. He crossed from the right and the ball dropped for the in-rushing Dave Smith who prodded it home.
Hartlepool stepped up the pressure from then on and were in control for the rest of the match, but the winner just would not come.
Yet if ever a 2-2 draw was a good result, this was it after such a long period without much to show for it.

What Adam Gase learned from 2017 failure caused him to value these traits above talent
Adam Gase is ready for the regular season
Like 31 other NFL head coaches following roster cuts to 53 players, Adam Gase is pleased with his team. He's convinced this group of players is the right mix of talent...
...Of experience and maturity.
...Of intelligence.
...Of ego and personality.
Gase embraces these Miami Dolphins like, well, he really hasn't embraced some of his past teams -- specifically last year's. And that's good because this team is the product of what happens when one person within an organization, Gase, convinces others that too much is wrong and has to be drastically changed.
Even when the reasons for change are not necessarily about talent
This roster, with seven new draft picks, five new unrestricted free agents, two waiver wire additions, and three players who came by trade, has a 32 percent turnover rate from last year. This is the roster Gase crafted. This coaching staff, with six new assistants in 2018, is one Gase remade.
This is his baby, folks. And he likes the work of his hands.
"I like our team," Gase said Sunday. "I like the fact that I think we're a team. That's the best part of what we have going on right now -- is that locker room. I like where those guys are at.
"And I'm not really worried about what anybody else thinks about that. Because when you're not there every day. and around these guys, and watching them work, watching them at meetings. watching them practice, you don't know. You look at a piece of paper. But that's why they play the games."
Gase is taking a shot at pundits and experts who watched the Dolphins get rid of a Pro Bowl defensive tackle in Ndamukong Suh, a Pro Bowl caliber center in Mike Pouncey, and the NFL's leading pass catcher in Jarvis Landry and saw downgrade.
From 6-10, no less.
But Gase believes he had no choice. He saw last year's team fail to meet challenges or handle adversity. He saw players dedicated to outside interests but not to their tape study. He saw players who didn't know their assignments, either because they didn't study or didn't understand what they studied. He had players not running full speed on some plays or practicing full bore or minding the details Gase wanted them to nail every play.
The Dolphins had an assistant sniffing cocaine in the office, for goodness sake
So, yeah, Gase decided change was necessary.
"I feel like the guys we have right now are different type of guys," Gase said. "It's football first. It's wanting to do things right. It's putting your head down and working. There's a lot of [stuff] you can get in trouble with down here. So it has to be football first.
"That gives us a better chance of having success when you have guys like that. Because when adversity hits, it's not going to be, 'It's not my fault, it's his fault, it's the other guy's fault.' You don't see that now. It's, 'Put you head down and work.' That's the type of guys you have to have. I really believe that."
What the Dolphins have done is not the easy road. It would have been easier to keep more name players such as Suh and Landry and let the chemistry and vibe of the locker room remain the same.
But Gase decided to to use the experience of 2017 as a learning experience rather than a lost season.
"I look at last year as we learned a lot about who we had in the locker room," Gase said. "I saw where we had to make changes there. Same thing with the coaching staff. Same thing organizationally -- where we had to make changes, what things we had to do different.
"To me it's never a lost year. It's a lost year if you just ignore it and act like nothing happened or nothing's wrong. We learned from it and had to make changes. If we stayed the same that would be the most idiotic thing to do.
"If I would have come in here and said, '[quarterback Ryan] Tannehill's back now so we're fine,' and kept everything the same then that's my fault. Everybody shows you who they are when [stuff] gets tough. You find out who's with you and who's going to take the easy way out. So, you want to be with guys that are going to dig deep in the trenches and find solutions."
Gase believes he has those type of guys now. He sees players staying late. He sees dedication and attention to detail.
"[It] feels like a lot of things have happened over the last two years. good or bad," Gase said. "It's been great learning experiences for everybody in the organization and I feel like this year we have a really good understanding of who we are, what our locker room is.
"Our players, I like where our health is. I feel like it puts us in good position to start moving toward this season and kind of see what happens."

"Do not withhold correction from a child, for if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. You shall beat him with a rod, and deliver his soul from hell" (vs 13)
Parents must discipline their children even though it is not a pleasant experience. The immediate and temporary discomfort and pain will save the child from continuing to rebel. It is better to endure a little pain for a season than eternity in hell.
vs 15-16 A wise child will make for happy parents. Children ought to seek to please their parents and be a blessing to them. If you make your parents happy, you will be happy.
"Do not let your heart envy sinners, but be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day; for surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off." (vs 17-18)
Do not live for this world but for heaven. Even though ungodly people may appear to be having "fun" doing the wrong things, we should not be jealous of them. As we deny ourselves and live for heaven, we will surely be rewarded with better, eternal things.
vs 23 We must seek after truth and when we find it, cherish it and don't let go. "Buy the truth and sell it not…also wisdom and instruction and understanding." These are the most valuable things. People who can give us these things are valuable as well.

It has just six months since the year began and we have already witnessed 254 deaths of swine flu in Maharashtra, states a report by the State Epidemiology. The report says that out of 1,450 cases of swine flu, 254 have died from the state of Maharashtra.
Earlier this month, My Medical Mantra had reported that Maharashtra had 1,315 cases of H1N1 of which 240 were deaths. 14 deaths have taken place, raising the toll of deaths due to swine flu. "We were not expecting so many cases this year. If you closely observe, most of the cases have been reported in last 15 days of May and beginning of June. This year there is change in the symptoms as well. Many patients are coming to us with high fever and loose motions which can be mistaken as gastro at times. The virus seems to be muted," Dr Vasant Nagvekar Infectious disease expert, Global Hospitals, had said to My Medical Mantra earlier.
In Maharashtra, Nashik (35), Pune (43), Nagpur (22), Mumbai (9) and Thane (7) have fallen prey to the disease. Most doctors believe that this shouldn't have been the course, "This is not the season for swine flu. We generally get swine flu cases from October to February. But we are seeing a rise in the number of people with swine flu in June than May," said Dr Om Shrivastav, practicing infection diseases and immunology.
There are multiple causes of swine flu, however, it can be attributed to the change in climate, says Dr Om, and "There are multiple causes for swine flu like immune responses. But, change in the humidity can be said as one of them."

On June 15th, amidst a gorgeous summer night in the Aspen Mountains, a group made up of water farmers, filmmakers, press and champions, gathered together. Hosted by cyclist Lance Armstrong and wife Anna, Full Circle - Journey of a Waterman (a waterman is an elite athlete skilled in multiple water sports) premiered at the Aspen Food and Wine Festival.
The screening was followed by a panel discussion that included filmmaker, Eric Wolfinger, 10x World Champion Surfer Jamie Mitchell, award-winning chef and author Barton Seaver, and Robin Walker, Senior Vice President of Surfline. Full Circle, follows waterman Jamie Mitchell as he explores the world of sustainable fish farming. He begins his journey at home in Hawaii and then makes the long trip through Patagonia where he lands on the Verlasso farm, miles from civilization south of Melinka, Chile. He finds himself worrying, and then subsequently learning, about the value of farming fish as a vital way to saving ocean resources.
Once the film concluded, Lance picked up the microphone and began to discuss his own journey with fish. Known not to be a fish eater, Lance conveyed that there was one time in his life where he had a love affair with a fish. That fish was Chilean Sea Bass. He relayed a story about ordering it on a menu every time he saw it as he traveled the world. Soon he only saw it on menus seasonally. Then one day, it was gone from menus completely. "Fished out" he concluded. That is where their conversation began. Jamie and Lance spoke about their collective ignorance around fish farming. Jamie conveyed his concern for wild fish populations and ocean health. Filmmaker Eric Wolfinger then spoke about the trials and tribulations of making the film. The crowd made up mostly of press and influencers (including Academy Award winning documentary filmmaker Bryan Fogel of Icarus fame) marveled at the detail and beauty of the film. Everyone agreed and acknowledged that this film was really the beginning of a longer conversation that needed to include our farmers on land and SEA.
Dinner was served immediately following the film and started with stunning appetizers by Caribou Club's Chef Miles Angelo.
Guest chefs (of Top Chef fame) served fish from every farm that was featured in the film and the dishes were perfectly paired with wine by Ben Parsons, maker and founder of Infinite Monkey Theorem.
Chef Adam Sappington of Country Cat Restaurant in Portland, OR made the first course of Pacifico Striped Sea Bass on bouillabaisse purée, anchovy fried croutons with clam and saffron butter vinaigrette.
Chef Justin Brunson of Old Major Restaurant in Denver, CO made the second course of Pan seared Glitne Snow White Halibut with pea emulsion and spring vegetables.
Chef John Tesar, former owner of Spoon bar and Kitchen restaurant in Dallas, TX made the third course Crispy Matorka Arctic Char, braised lotus root, pickled Asian mushrooms spring onions, smoked tofu, wild mushroom dash.
Chef Barton Seaver closed the main dish courses with our own Roasted Verlasso Salmon on Pine Needles with Pine Nut Sauce and Summer Greens.
Chef Miles Angelo from Caribou Club finished the evening with an array of desserts that included Mini Chocolate Passion Fruit Bombes, Small Raspberry Cream Cheese Brownies, Milk Chocolate Tanariva Cappuccino Bon Bons, Milk Chocolate Rocher Bon Bons, Burnt Caramel Pot de Crème and Mini Key Lime Tarts. Coffee was provided by Equator Coffee and Teas.
At the end of the night, Lance was headed to an off-trail race in Leadville, CO. His parting words to the crowd were "People will watch this film and exclaim, 'Oh my God!' We can't just let it go up on Surfline and say, 'Ok, here's 16 minutes, check it out. This is only the beginning of an important conversation that we have to keep going!"

The Year of Many Vintages
A while back I decided this year was going to be my "Harvest" year. With a very full-time job as a wine agent in Ottawa, it is difficult to fully get away and work a vintage somewhere. Once upon a time I had plans to do a vintage in New Zealand, but getting away for so long proved impossible. I was already spending some weekends working at Norm's, learning the in's and out's of handcrafted winemaking, and I realized that I don't need to fly to the other side of the world when we have some of the best wineries right here in Canada!
So I worked out a plan to spend more weekends helping with Norm's harvest in September/October, then fly to BC and spend two weeks working with Joie Farm, Painted Rock, Laughing Stock, and Foxtrot. A real east-west tour-de-force of the very best Canadian wineries! There will be much more coming to the blog in late October on BC wines once I get out there, but until then I'll be posting as much as I can on Norm's harvest from Prince Edward County, and tweeting even more often.Follow along @AndrewRasta for pics and insights from Norm's then the cream-de-la-cream of the Okanagan Valley!

For many Americans — whether it's facing a monthly mortgage payment, credit card bill or student loan statement — paying interest is a fact of life, and can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars over the course of the loans. In fact, the average yearly interest paid on credit cards weighs in at $855, student loans a slightly lower $641 and mortgages a whopping $5,646.
What if you could do just a few things to save money on interest? The good news is: You can, if you follow a few key strategies.
1. Don't conform to standard pay periods.
Just because you're billed on a monthly cycle doesn't mean you can't pay down your debt — thereby lowering your owed interest — at other times in your billing cycle.
Take your credit card bill, for example. By paying earlier in the cycle, you could lower the balance your lender uses to calculate your interest owed. The longer you have a lower balance, the more money you could save on interest. It's important to note that this method works with card issuers that use the average daily balance method.
2. Another tactic is paying twice in the same cycle.
If you have a $2,000 mortgage payment due at the end of each month, and you pay $1,000 twice in the same cycle, your bank will have received the payment in full, and you could benefit by shaving the amount of interest owed, much as you do by paying your credit card bill earlier in the cycle.
It works this way: If you owe a mortgage and pay twice in the same cycle, you'll end up making one extra monthly payment, since the calendar year has two months with five weeks in it. By making 26 biweekly payments, instead of 12 monthly payments, you'll end up making an additional monthly payment each year and save money on interest.
The average yearly interest paid on credit cards weighs in at $855, student loans a slightly lower $641 and mortgages a whopping $5,646.
3. Pay more than the minimum due.
Chances are you've budgeted your monthly income for everything from groceries and gas to movie tickets and home maintenance, leaving just enough to cover your monthly student loan payment.
While keeping a budget is a sound strategy, an even smarter move would be to increase your student loan payments by an amount you can live with, which will reduce the amount of interest you'll pay over the life of your loan, and put you on a faster path toward applying that money to other goals like a new home, retirement accounts or a high-yield savings account where your money will grow. Every few dollars added to your "minimum scheduled payment" can save money on interest in the long run.
4. Round up your payments.
Whether you're paying a credit card bill, making a mortgage payment or looking to lower your student loan debt, rounding up your payments can be a smart tactic. It not only makes calculations easier, but also helps you save money on interest over time without feeling much financial pain.
To make an impact, however, it makes the most sense to round up to the nearest ten or hundred dollars, as proposed by The Simple Dollar. For example, if you have a 30-year, $150,000 mortgage, at a 5% interest rate, you're looking at a $805.23 monthly outlay. But if you round that sum up to $810, you'll cut four months from the life of your loan and save $2,220.67. Round up to the nearest hundred and pay $900 a month, and you'll shave six years and four months from the life of your loan and save $34,605.19.
Consider these four options for paying down your debts sooner — since being able to save money on interest could help you funnel your money toward other wants and needs.
