Thirty countries have already seen food riots this year. The ever higher cost of food could push tens of millions of people into abject poverty and starvation.
To a large degree, this crisis is man-made the result of misguided energy and farm policies. When President Bush and other heads of state of the Group of 8 leading industrial nations meet in Japan this week, they must accept their full share of responsibility and lay out clearly what they will do to address this crisis.
To start, they must live up to their 2005 commitment to vastly increase aid to the poorest countries. And they must push other wealthy countries, like those in the Middle East, to help too. That will not be enough. They must also commit to reduce, or even better, do away with their most egregious agricultural and energy subsidies, which contribute to the spread of hunger throughout the world.
In the last year, the price of corn has risen 70 percent; wheat 55 percent; rice 160 percent. The World Bank estimates that for a group of 41 poor countries the combined shock of rising prices of food, oil and other raw materials over the past 18 months will cost them between 3 and 10 percent of their annual economic output.
Some of the causes are out of governments' control, including the rising cost of energy and fertilizer, and drought in food exporters like Australia. Higher consumption of animal protein in China and India has also driven demand for feed grains. Wrongheaded policies among rich and poor nations are also playing a big role.
Of those, perhaps the most wrongheaded are the tangle of subsidies, mandates and tariffs to encourage the production of biofuels from crops in the United States and the European Union. According to the World Bank, almost all of the growth in global corn production from 2004 to 2007 was devoted to American ethanol production pushing up corn and animal feed prices and prompting farmers to switch from other crops to corn.
Long-standing farm subsidies in the rich world have also contributed to the crisis, ruining farmers in poor countries and depressing agricultural investment.
Rich countries are not the only culprits. At least 30 developing countries have imposed restrictions or bans on the export of foodstuffs. Importing countries are now stockpiling supplies, which takes more food from global markets. Export barriers also reduce farmers' profits and discourage them from investing in more production.
So far there is no sign that the leaders of the developed countries are ready to do what is needed. The United States and Europe have refused to curtail their bio-fuel subsidies or their lavish farm subsidies. They are also falling far short of their aid commitments.
At the 2005 G8 summit meeting, leaders said that by 2010 wealthier nations would increase annual development aid to poor countries by $50 billion. Yet aid has increased by only $11 billion. And there is suspicion that the G8 nations, who were to provide the lion's share of the increase, want to wiggle out of their commitment.
We welcome President Bush's pledge to provide $5 billion this year and next to "fight global hunger," but much more must be done. The United States remains the stingiest of rich nations when it come to foreign aid.
In a letter to heads of state of the G8, Robert Zoellick, the World Bank president, estimated that the bank needs $3.5 billion to provide immediate food aid and seed and fertilizer in poor countries. The International Monetary Fund and the World Food Program estimate they need $6.5 billion more in the short term to help feed vulnerable populations. This does not even count the need for essential longer-term investments to increase farm productivity in poor nations in Africa and elsewhere.
As Mr. Zoellick wrote, the food crisis is a test of the world's willingness to help the most vulnerable. The leaders gathered in Japan must rise to the challenge.

Their Mission
"Our mission is to provide residents, visitors, and artists with premier events, education, and creative opportunities in the arts."
Who They Are and What They Do
True to their mission, the Arts Council of Big Sky (ACBS) promotes art education and experiences in astoundingly diverse ways. Like the art and the music to which they draw the attention of the community, the staff at ACBS are creative, fun, and intent on connecting with the world. Over the years, they have established a few staples of the ACBS calendar including Music in the Mountains – a summertime event where every Thursday they host a free concert at Town Center Park. They also orchestrate the Classical Music Festival – a weekend in August that celebrates an array of classical music and artists. During the fall, they arrange Telluride's Mountainfilm Festival on Tour which brings the community together for a weekend of viewing inspiring films.
Besides these high-profile, large audience events, ACBS also organizes a variety of other smaller programs. These include public art projects, such as the installation of Jim Dolan's elk sculpture at the Uplands and Hummocks Trailhead, and youth education programs. This past year, the Bozeman Area Community Foundation had the privilege of being a part of these programs by helping fund the Big Sky Youth Arts Education Partnership.
Youth Arts Education Partnerships and BACF
ARTventure is one of several art education programs the ACBS has created that seek to expose Big Sky youth to art professions, opportunities, and crafts. Throughout the school year, the ACBS organizes both day and overnight trips for students so that they can witness firsthand the dynamic, innovative, and fascinating world of art. They even plan a trip to Seattle so that those in the "Big Sky bubble" can leave a world that is familiar to travel and experience artistically renowned sites. The programs manager, Katie Alvin, explains that the purpose of ARTventure is to show kids that art can be professional and intellectual, beyond a hobby or a pretty picture.
Over the years, Katie has noticed a distinct decline in the number of kids who raise their hands when asked if they are considering a career in art. She hopes that through the exposure provided by ARTventure, more kids will at least better understand the variety that is inherent in the art world and the career opportunities related to art that go beyond being an artist.
In fact, the ACBS makes a point to start young when it comes to art education. During the summer when Music in the Mountains is happening on Thursdays, they set up a tent at the park for young children and toddlers. Inside the tent are a variety of artistic tools, from blocks and puzzles to paper and paints. With these tools in hand, children embark on an artventure, free to create all on their own, unhindered by parents' prying hands or instruction.
Beyond ARTventure, the ACBS hosts other art education programs such as Discover Dance, which brings Montana Ballet Company to Big Sky to demonstrate to youth how a ballet company operates, complete with a behind the scenes look at a show! There is also an educational component to the Telluride Mountainfilm Festival, which provides opportunities for kids to view inspiring documentaries on important social or environmental topics and later incorporate those concepts into questions, lessons, and curricula. The ACBS also integrates youth education during the Classical Music Festival through Master Classes, during which music students learn from top musicians in a small group setting.
With so much going on, the ACBS relies on the help of partners and sponsors to have such an incredible impact. Last year, it was the privilege of the Bozeman Area Community Foundation to contribute to the valuable work the ACBS is doing by providing funding for the Youth Art Education Partnership programs. Connecting youth to the broader world, to passionate people doing work that inspires and moves, is one of the best parts of being a community foundation.
If you are interested in any of the programs and events put on by the ACBS or would like to get involved, check out their website at www.bigskyarts.org!

Corrected entry: Neither Barney nor Homer underwent any sort of physical or medical examination at all. Homer has a heart condition, he has had bypass surgery, and yet he is still allowed to take part in the mission. Also, both of them are surely too overweight to be allowed to participate.
Correction: The whole mission wasn't well thought out to begin. At the end of the day they were looking for a "Blue collared slob" to attract fans, and in that case Barney and Homer were perfect. The fact they were overweight and in average health was not NASA's main concern. Also they do undergo examinations but we probably don't see all of them. One scene we see them doing a lung capacity test.Lummie

Moving is one of those life events that seem to take forever. It's a long drawn out process that requires lots of planning and adds stress to your life. By taking a few proactive steps and simplifying how you move, you can make it easier on yourself while speeding up the process. Hedberg Moving Solutions is here to help you every step of the way. We can provide you with all the transportation, equipment, and labor you need to get out of your apartment quick! Below are five tips to help you get started.
Read the rest of entry »
If you are planning to move this spring, you may be planning on hiring movers to assist with your move. This helps reduce the stress on you. But, you may put off looking for and hiring the perfect company because you don't know the address of the home you are moving to or because you think there is no benefit to booking early. However, winter is the perfect time to book a mover for your spring trip. Here are three reasons why you may want to consider booking a mover for your spring move now.
If you are moving and are a single woman, you may find yourself wondering how you are going to move all of your belongings. Hiring a mover is the best solution for you. Here are a few of the benefits of hiring a mover as a single woman.
The beautiful days of summer are growing shorter and colder, but the twilight of beach season is no reason to be upset. For many parents who have been diligently leading their children through almost two decades of bumbling adventures, it's now time to release your spawn into the world and release yourself from the burden of practices, recitals, and fighting over chores.
Many people rate moving as a stressful experiences. This is because moving can be tedious, time consuming and laborious. While moving to a new home or location should be an exciting time for a couple, many couples find themselves overwhelmed by the moving process and fighting, rather than focusing on all of the positive aspects of an upcoming move. If you and your spouse or partner are preparing to move, here are a few of the arguments you can avoid by hiring a mover.
If you live in an apartment or condo, you likely already know how thin the walls and ceilings can be. You may be able to hear when your neighbors are moving or talking. And unfortunately, a move can be even more disruptive. While there is no way to control all of the noise, there are a few things you can do to be a considerate neighbor and lessen the impact it has on your neighbors. Here are three tips that will help you be considerate to your neighbors when you are moving.
Moving into or out of an apartment may be more complicated than the same process would be with a typical stand-alone residence. Often, this may involve stairs, elevators, narrow hallways and congested parking facilities. Moving your sleeper couch up to, or down from, the 5th floor of an apartment complex is quite a bit trickier than walking it though a set of sliding glass doors in a basement.
At Hedberg Moving Solutions, a box is not just a box – not when it comes to moving. For example, our 'dish pack kit' comes with a dish box plus specific dividers for glasses – not something you typically find in the shipping box from your last mail order purchase. Our wardrobe boxes actually have a bar and two feet of hanger space, plus room for shoes on the bottom!
We are all very aware of the fact that moving is one of the most stressful times of your life. However, certain types of moves bring on a different kind of stress. For example, when you live in a high-rise building, you have to deal with moving loads of boxes and huge furniture down limited access, tight stairs and elevators creating a disturbing commotion for not only you, but the entire building as well. Plus, who really wants to carry their bulky items down 20 or more flights of stairs all on their own?

Bob then married his beloved wife Ann Marie Haggerty MacPherson in 1949. And in 1965 and 1968 (respectively) he earned a Master's degree and then a PhD from New York's Syracuse University, where he specialized in speech pathology.
Rev. Dr. MacPherson was ordained on June 27, 1948 by Massachusetts's West Somerville Universalist Church; in that same period, he entered fellowship as a Unitarian minister. Rev. Dr. MacPherson was first called to serve the First Universalist Church of Auburn, ME from 1954 to 1962. He was then called to the First Universalist Church of North Attleboro, MA for two years; then in 1963 he was called to the First Universalist Society of Central Square, NY, where he served until 1966.

In his spare time, Bob was a member of Western Carolinians for Criminal Justice, Planned Parenthood, and Pisgah Legal Services. He was active in the Asheville Community Theater, including as an actor and a singer—noted for his ease in projecting his voice to the very back of the room. He was also heavily involved with Asheville Chamber Music, which would often perform at the UU Congregation of Asheville. Bob also enjoyed gardening, fishing, singing, toy-mending, and travelling the world with his wife Ann: The pair visited such places as Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Russia, Germany, Austria, and the Galapagos Islands. And Bob treasured time spent with his family.

The Rev. Sarah Barber-Braun died on December 17, 2017 at the age of 92.
Sarah was born on October 23, 1925 to Dallas Dayton Lore McGrew and Elizabeth Barber McGrew. Born in Tokyo, Japan while her architect father worked there, Sarah grew up in Maryland. She earned her BA in Political Theory and Government from Massachusetts's Radcliffe College in 1947, then worked for a time as a primary and pre-school teacher. After moving to Missoula, MT and adopting her three children—Paula, Julia, and Daniel—Sarah worked for sixteen years as a self-employed jeweler. A lifelong learner, Sarah also participated in graduate coursework in Education, Art, Political Theory, Women's Studies, and American Studies. After discovering Unitarian Universalism and heeding a call toward ministry, Sarah earned her Master of Divinity from California's Starr King School for the Ministry in 1984.
Rev. Barber-Braun was ordained on February 17, 1985 by the First Unitarian Church of Oakland, CA. She first served as an extension minister at the UU Congregation of Erie, PA from 1986 to 1989. Rev. Barber-Braun then served for a year as interim minister at Des Moines, WA's Saltwater UU Church, before ministering to the First Universalist Society in New Haven, CT 1994 to 1996. Sarah then carried out another interim ministry at the Mattatuck UU Society in Woodbury, CT until 1997. In that year she began serving the First Universalist Church of Southold, NY, ministering there until her retirement in 2002.
Rev. Barber-Braun dedicated much service to her denomination, including serving on the board of the UUA's Pacific Central District (now part of the Pacific Western Region) from 1979 to 1983. Sarah was also an active member of the UU Ministers' Association, and she served as President of the Ohio-Meadville Chapter in 1989. Rev. Barber-Braun was also a founding member of the UU Women's Heritage Society and served as Chair of its Continental Council. Sarah further served as Chair of UU Collegium's Feminisms Section. And she was a regular presenter on women's history at UU General Assembly.
Sarah was a passionate participant in the politics of her community, and she advocated for women's reproductive rights through her work with Planned Parenthood and the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. She also enjoyed gardening, and always held a deep love for dance—especially contra dancing. Finally, Sarah devoted decades of independent scholarship to the life and work of nineteenth-century Universalist minister Phebe Ann Coffin Hanaford, even gaining access to papers held by Hanaford's great-great-granddaughters. Sarah wrote numerous essays, articles, and reflective pieces on her beloved subject, and was a primary contributor to Hanford's first full-length biography: A Mighty Social Force by Loretta Cody (2009).
In her essay "Looking for Julia, Finding Phebe" (Critical Mass, Spring 1989), Rev. Barber-Braun offered these words to conclude the piece—words that seem a fitting tribute to Sarah's own vital work:
We are all connected, women in the ordained ministry and lay women who fought for civil rights and women who struggled, unrecorded, in their homes. But so many of their stories have been forgotten by their children, never told to their grandchildren. It is up to us to look for them, to discover their stories, and to recover our own history.
Sarah is survived by her children Paula Braun, Julia Roth, and Daniel Braun; her grandchildren Tegan Spangrude, Carl Spangrude, David Braun, and Andrea Braun; and her brother John McGrew (Wendy). She was predeceased by her son Benjamin Braun.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Unity Church – Unitarian, 733 Portland Ave, St Paul, MN 55104.
A celebration of life was held on August 12, 2017 with Rev. Barber-Braun in attendance.
Notes of condolence may be sent to Julia Roth at 1963 Split Mountain, Canyon Lake, TX 78133.
The Rev. Berkley Leroy Moore, died on January 4, 2018 at the age of 85.
Berkley was born on August 7, 1932 in Youngstown, OH to James Berkley Moore and Lillian V.B. Moore (née Lundgren). He graduated from Pennsylvania's Grove City College in 1954 with a Bachelor of Science. Berkley worked for three years as a chemical engineering researcher before attending Massachusetts's Harvard Divinity School, where he earned his Bachelor of Sacred Theology in 1960.
Rev. Moore was ordained by the now-defunct All Souls Unitarian Church in Windsor, VT on April 14, 1961; given the UU consolidation in May of that year, Berkley appears to have been the last ordained Unitarian minister. He simultaneously served All Souls and the First Universalist Church of Hartland, VT until 1965. In that year Rev. Moore was called to serve two congregations in Minnesota: the First Unitarian Church in Virginia (1965 – 1968) and the UU Congregation of Duluth (1965 – 1969). After moving to Springfield, IL in 1970 Berkley began working as an engineer for the state's Environmental Protection Agency. At that time Rev. Moore began serving the Abraham Lincoln UU Congregation as their unofficial part-time minister—performing wedding and memorial services—until the church called a settled minister in 1981. Over the years Berkley continued to serve the Springfield church in various capacities, and was also a supply preacher to many congregations in central Illinois. In 1995, after 25 years of membership and service, the Abraham Lincoln UU Congregation named Rev. Moore their Minister Emeritus.
In addition to his parish ministry, Rev. Moore served the Abraham Lincoln UU Congregation for a time as their Board President and the Chair of their Program Committee. Berkley also taught adult religious education classes at the congregation. He was also a member of the Prairie Group of ministers for many years.
Berkley was known for his scholarly curiosity and tremendous knowledge across a vast range of subjects, from history to genetics to religion and particularly music, with deep interest in classical, jazz and traditional folk music. He authored several hymns himself, including lyrics for "Let Love Continue Long" in the UU hymnal How Can We Keep from Singing? (1976) and the tune for "Kelham" in Missouri Harmony (2005). Rev Moore was also an active member of the Illinois shape note singing community, and being a virtual expert on folk hymns he shared his enthusiasm and knowledge on this subject with many in Illinois and across the country. Additionally, Berkley served as a delegate for Jimmy Carter at the 1976 Democratic National Convention. And Berkley was a dedicated father, and loved traveling to many destinations around the world with his sons.
He is survived by his sons James B. Moore and Erik P. Moore (Tom Liberty); his former wife Kathryn VanBuskirk (née Holland), mother of James and Erik; his former wife and longtime friend Barbara Moore; his brother-in-law David Culp; and his nieces and nephews Kenneth Culp, Lillian Williamson (Jon), and Carl Culp (Tina). Berkley was predeceased by his sister Hildalee Culp.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the UU Service Committee. Donations by mail can be sent to UUSC, PO Box 808, Newark, NJ 07101-0808.
A celebration of life will be held at 2pm on Saturday, February 10, 2018 at the Abraham Lincoln UU Congregation, 745 Woodside Rd, Springfield, IL 62711.
Notes of condolence can be sent to the Moore family at email@example.com.
The Rev. Dr. Peter Lee Scott died on December 20, 2017 at the age of 84.
Peter was born on November 6, 1933 in Peoria, IL to Mary Slaughter Scott and the Rev. Clinton Lee Scott. He graduated from Canton, NY's St. Lawrence University in 1955 with a Bachelor of Divinity and Certification in Religious Education. In 1955 he married the late Dorothy Ann Dutton, and they raised three children together: Michael, Rebecca, and Steven. Peter earned his Master of Divinity from St. Lawrence in 1957, and would later receive a Master of Arts in Religious Education from Connecticut's Hartford Seminary Foundation (1962) and a Doctor of Divinity from Kentucky's Lexington Theological Seminary (1972).
The Rev. Dr. Scott was ordained a Universalist minister on September 8, 1957 at the First Universalist Society in New Haven, CT, where he also carried out his first parish ministry. Peter was then called to serve Massachusetts's Melrose UU Church from 1962 to 1967. In that year the Rev. Dr. Scott began ministering to the UU Church of Lexington, KY, where he would serve for seven years. Then Peter served three congregations in Wisconsin: First Universalist Unitarian Church of Wausau (1974 – 1978), the UU Fellowship in Marshfield (1978 – 1980), and the Fox Valley UU Fellowship (1979 – 1983). Peter married Faith Anne Grover in 1983 and he became the stepfather of Robert, Elizabeth, and Margaret. Peter then simultaneously served two churches in Virginia: the Unitarian Church of Norfolk—where Faith served as Director of Religious Education—and Newport News's UU Fellowship of the Peninsula. The Rev. Dr. Scott was then called to the First Universalist Church of Southold, NY from 1987 to 1996, after which he served for one year as Interim minister at the UU Congregation of York, PA. Finally, the Rev. Dr. Scott was called to St. Paul Universalist Church in Little Falls, NY, where Faith was ordained and where the couple served as co-ministers. At this time Peter was also a supply preacher at the First Universalist Society in Salisbury Center, NY. In 1999 both Peter and Faith retired, but Peter continued to preach monthly at Salisbury Center and occasionally at St. Paul's in Little Falls; in 2013, he was elected Minister Emeritus by both congregations.
Peter carried out an array of service on behalf of the denomination. He maintained a near life-long relationship with Saco, ME's Ferry Beach Park Association; he staffed youth camps there from 1958 to 1976, served on the Planning Committee, offered workshops, and co-authored a history of Ferry Beach's first century. The Rev. Dr. Scott also held positions on a vast number of denominational boards and committees, including but not nearly limited to: the UUA Pamphlet Committee (1961 – 1967), Trustee and Building Committee of Lexington, KY's Emerson Center (1967 – 1974), UUA's Central Midwest District Board (1975 – 1981), and the St. Lawrence Foundation for Theological Education (President 1989 – 1994).
Peter was a passionate player, teacher and advocate of table tennis, which he played into his late 60s. He also played piano and guitar and wrote music, and he sang in school, college, church, and community choirs. Peter read, lectured, and wrote extensively about Universalist, Unitarian, and Unitarian Universalist history—including his unfinished work An American Courtship which traced the various attempts at uniting the Universalists and Unitarians prior to the 1961 consolidation. He loved model railroading and created several layouts with his children. He was also a (very cautious) sailor, claiming that his sailboat's name "Chicken of the Sea" described himself as skipper. Following in the footsteps of his minister father, Peter regularly celebrated Groundhog Day: developing sermons, liturgies, and carols for that holy day midway between the winter Solstice and the spring Equinox.
As Peter's beloved Faith noted after his death: "Peter much disliked the closing in of increasing darkness and shortening days between the autumn Equinox and winter Solstice. He died on December 20, the day marking the end of the darkness and the return of the light."
He is survived by his wife and colleague the Rev. Dr. Faith Grover Scott; children and stepchildren Michael (Kelly), Rebecca, Robert, Steven (Lori), Elizabeth, and Margaret (David); grandchildren and step-grandchildren Shawn, Rhiannon, Courtney, Erin, Shaina, Lauren, Shannon, Raven, Astrid, and Augustus; and great-grandchildren Cody, Raene, Talon, and Caylynn.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Peter Lee Scott Memorial Fund at St. Paul's Universalist Church, 565 Albany St, Little Falls, NY 13365.
A memorial service will be held at 2pm on Saturday, April 14, 2018 at Acacia Village, 2160 Bleecker Street, Utica NY 13501.
Notes of condolence may be sent to the Rev. Dr. Faith Scott at B-148, Acacia Village, 2160 Bleecker St, Utica, NY 13501; and at email@example.com.
The Rev. Elizabeth "Bets" Wienecke died on December 28, 2017 at the age of 81.
Bets was born on December 22, 1936 in Evanston, IL to Eliza Rittenhouse Wienecke and Robert Henry Wienecke. She married William Gourley Jr. in 1955, and they had three children together: Ann Michelle (deceased,) William, and Elizabeth. Bets graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1975 with a Bachelor of Arts in Law and Society; and in 1980 she earned a Master of Arts in Educational Psychology Counseling from California State University, Northridge. She worked for many years as an office manager, a Volunteer Coordinator for the Santa Paula, CA School District, and as Executive Director of the Santa Paula Youth Employment Service. During this time, she married the love of her life, Peter Haslund, becoming stepmother to Melitta and Christina. Inspired by her mentor the Rev. Marjorie N. Leaming, Bets felt a call toward ministry and pursued fellowship with the UUA, earning her Master of Divinity from California's Claremont School of Theology in 1985.
Rev. Wienecke was ordained on May 25, 1986 by the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara, CA. In 1987, she began serving as the Extension Minister to the Live Oak UU Congregation of Goleta, CA, and in 1990 the congregation called Rev. Wienecke as their settled minister. Bets served Live Oak with passion and dedication for eighteen years, and upon her retirement in 2004 the congregation honored Rev. Wienecke as their Minister Emerita.
Prior to her ordination, Bets served as the Secretary for the UU Church in Santa Paula, CA's board of trustees, and later as Board President. She also performed much service on behalf of the UUA's Pacific Southwest District (now part of the Pacific Western Region): serving on the Annual Meeting Planning Committee and the Women and Religion Committee, chairing the Leadership Development Committee, and serving as dean of the Leadership Training School. She also served on the UUMA Executive Committee, the Board of Ministerial Sisterhood of Unitarian Universalists, and the Board of Meadville Lombard Theological School.
Rev. Carolyn Price of the UU Church of Ventura, CA offered these lovely words in remembrance of Bets: "A pioneer for women in the ministry, who inspired six of us to become ministers, and counseled countless among us in her many years in the parish… She modeled for us what it is not only to live, but to die with intention, with beauty and courage, and most of all, with love."
Rev. Melitta Haslund, daughter-in-law, hospital chaplain, and instructor writes, "Bets was an incredible gift in my life—and so many lives. The grace with which she navigated life and her authenticity are deeply and entirely missed."
Bets is survived by spouse Peter Haslund; children Elizabeth Gourley, Bill Gourley, the Rev. Melitta Haslund, and Christina Haslund; grandchildren Benjamin and Alexandra Haslund-Gourley, Amelie Stufflebeam, Nicolaus Haslund-Fitzgerald and Bryna Fitzgerald; sister Lynnie Wienecke and niece Amie Fanning.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Live Oak UU Congregation of Goleta, 820 North Fairview Avenue, Goleta, CA 93117.
A memorial service will take place at 2pm on Saturday, February 24, 2018 at the Live Oak UU Congregation of Goleta (address above).
Notes of condolence can be sent to Peter Haslund at 3224 Serena Ave, Carpinteria, CA 93013.
The Rev. Eugene William Kreves died on December 11, 2017 at the age of 96.
Eugene was born on May 24, 1921 in Cleveland, OH to parents Mary and Joseph Kreves. In 1942 he married his beloved wife, Corinne Strong. They both attended Ohio Wesleyan University, where Eugene graduated in 1945 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. Eugene then earned his Bachelor of Divinity degree from Connecticut's Hartford Theological Seminary in 1949.
Rev. Kreves was ordained as a Congregationalist minister on December 11, 1949, then received Fellowship with the American Unitarian Association on June 2, 1954 and with the Universalist Church of America on April 23, 1956. In early 1955, Eugene and Corinne were instrumental in founding the DuPage Unitarian Fellowship (now DuPage UU Church) in Naperville, IL, where Rev. Kreves was called as the congregation's founding minister. He also simultaneously ministered to Illinois's Aurora Unitarian Fellowship—another church that he and Corrine helped found. Eugene was renowned for his passionate preaching on behalf of liberalism and social justice, and both he and Corinne were dedicated servants of the DuPage congregation for over two decades. When Rev. Kreves retired in 1979, after 24 years of service, the church honored him as their Minister Emeritus. Post-retirement, Rev. Kreves served for two years as minister of the Third Unitarian Church of Chicago (1982 – 1983).
Outside of his ministry in DuPage, Eugene served on the Board of Directors of his local American Civil Liberties Union. He was also President of the DuPage Valley Peace Center. Rev. Kreves was also a proud additional signer of the second Humanist Manifesto (1973). And later he helped organize Arkansans for Peace, for which he served as Publicity Chair.
In his spare time, Eugene had a passion for home building and land development, especially for cooperative efforts. He was also an avid reader of non-fiction—especially about new developments in science—and was ever fascinated by music, art, and politics. In retirement Eugene authored a self-published book:The Hungry Fire: Poems Affirming the Strength of Our Humanity(2002). And he was a lifelong supporter of social causes and an advocate for civil rights, participating in numerous marches and protests; according to his daughter Joy, Eugene always "believed in listening to the underdog."
At the dedication of the DuPage church's new Kreves Hall in 1994, member Lois Schnizlein declared:
Gene Kreves devoted 24 years of sincere, unselfish service with dogged determination to build and keep a church in DuPage County with a free pulpit which stressed human values on subjects which were not at all popular in the decades of the 1940s and -50s. … Nearly 40 years later these topics are not so unpopular now, but because of Gene's humanist beliefs and determination to "stand his ground" this church was firmly established as a beacon of enlightenment in DuPage County.
Eugene's daughter Joy remembers her father for his "impish sense of humor." He encouraged his children's creative efforts with enthusiasm and a keen interest in what they meant to express with their art; Joy echoes Eugene's belief that "making more 'stuff' is not moral, unless it is for some greater purpose." Finally, she recalls that her father was a "nomad at heart," exploring new frontiers both via travel ("but only if they were in warm climates!") and via the pages of books.
He is survived by children Tim Kreves, Dawn Kreves, and Joy Kreves Yavelow; grandchildren Seth Kreves, Anthony Nagiel, Amy Nagiel, and Ivia Sky Yavelow; and great-grandchildren Leon Nagiel and Lily Nagiel. He was pre-deceased by wife Corinne.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Lakota People's Law Project and to Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
A private memorial service for family members will be held in the spring.
Notes of condolence can be sent to Joy Kreves Yavelow at 54 Montague Avenue, Ewing, NJ 08628.
The Rev. Homer "Jerry" A. Goddard III died on October 15, 2017 at the age of 87.
Jerry was born on October 29, 1929 in Cincinnati, OH to parents Jeannette and Homer A. Goddard Jr., and grew up in a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA. He graduated in 1952 from Denison University with a Bachelor of Arts in economics, and in the following year he married his beloved wife Margaret "Peg" Goddard. After serving in the U.S. Army as an artillery officer, Jerry worked for the next 17 years as a sales engineer for the Aluminum Company of America. He became active at Pennsylvania's Main Line Unitarian Church—serving as the congregation's board president for two years—and began discerning a call toward the ministry. He and Peg moved their three children across the country so that Jerry could attend Berkeley, CA's Starr King School for the Ministry, where Jerry earned his Master of Divinity in 1975.
Rev. Goddard was ordained on January 9, 1976 by the First Parish of Sudbury, MA, where he served as minister until 1985; during this ministry he discovered an ancestral connection to the early-1700s minister of First Parish, Israel Loring. Jerry was then called to serve the UU Society of Greater Springfield, MA for five years. In 1990 Rev. Goddard was called to the UU Fellowship of Poughkeepsie, NY. He ministered in Poughkeepsie until his retirement in 1996, at which time the congregation honored him as their Minister Emeritus. Finally, Jerry carried out interim ministries in New Zealand, England, Australia, South Africa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Rev. Goddard also performed an array of service to the denomination. He sat on the board of Starr King School for the Ministry from 1973 to 1974, and was Alumni President from 1981 to 1982. Rev. Goddard served on the board of the UUA's Joseph Priestly district from 1968 to 1972. He also held leadership positions within two chapters of the UU Ministers' Association: board member and treasurer for Massachusetts Bay from 1976 to 1980, then board member and later president of Connecticut Valley (now part of the Clara Barton chapter) from 1986 to 1990. Rev. Goddard also chaired UU Ministers' Day for the 1978 General Assembly in Boston. And he later served as a trainer for the Metro NY district's professional sexual misconduct awareness workshops.
Throughout his life, Jerry was fiercely devoted to the causes of human rights and social justice. In the late 1960s he founded the drug counseling center Daemion House outside Philadelphia. He joined the March on Washington in 1963. Rev. Goddard was also an organizing member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, and served on the boards of Planned Parenthood in Massachusetts and in Northern New England. In 1988 Rev. Goddard served as a plaintiff in the U.S. Supreme Court case Kendrick v. Bowen, arguing against the government's biased support for anti-abortion, pro-abstinence religious denominations. He also served on the National Steering Committee of Americans United for Separation of Church and State from 1987 to 1990. Finally, Jerry was an activist for the American Civil Liberties Union since 1963, and joined its board in 2005.
In his spare time, Jerry loved skiing—both downhill and cross-country—as well as jogging, canoeing, and snorkeling. He also greatly enjoyed reading, perusing used bookstores, and collecting old religious books. Jerry was a scholar of western religions and a lecturer on Islam and Judaism. Later in life he offered lessons at the University of New Hampshire on local history and plate tectonics, and worked with his local immigrant community as an ESL teacher. He deeply loved traveling the country and the world with his family, most especially with "the love of his life" Peg; the two companions backpacked across the Middle East in their sixties and explored Southeast Asia in their seventies.
Reflecting on his denomination in 1990, Rev. Goddard shared this lovely vision:
I believe the liberal church is a community for the whole person. It is a place where we can find fellowship and friends, ethical values and inspiration; a place where we can find and give love and caring. It is a place where we can share ideas and be a part of the eternal quest for "truth." … The liberal church also must be a witness in the community and the world for justice, peace, love and compassion. It must inspire people to live and work for a world in which life can be lived with dignity in freedom and without injustice everywhere.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years Margaret Goddard; children Linda Goddard (Spencer Amesbury), Kirk Goddard (Kathy), and Jan Goddard-Taylor (Mark Taylor); and grandchildren Will Amesbury, Elena Goddard-Amesbury, Lauren Withers, Eliza Goddard, and Isabella Goddard-Taylor.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Civil Liberties Unionand to Planned Parenthood.
A memorial service will take place at 11am on Saturday, November 18 at First Parish in Concord, 20 Lexington Rd, Concord, MA 01742, following which guests are invited to gather with the family in the Parish Hall.
Notes of condolence can be sent to Peggy Goddard at 100 Russet Ct Apt 305, Lincoln, MA 01773.
Dr. Richard "Dick" Lovett Allen died on October 22, 2017 at the age of 93.
Dick was born on July 14, 1924 in Cleveland, OH to parents Marion Ream Allen and Clifford W. Allen, and grew up in Columbus. He served in the U.S. Army from 1943 until 1946, in which year he married Emma Lou (née Burgoon). Dick then earned two degrees in Ceramic Engineering from Ohio State University: a bachelor's in 1948 and a master's in 1949. He worked for 15 years as a production engineer and then as a sales engineer; but during that time Dick discerned his call toward ministry, and in 1964 he entered Harvard Divinity School. After the untimely passing of Emma Lou, Dick married his beloved wife Lois in 1967, in which year he also received his Bachelor of Sacred Theology from HDS. Finally Dick earned his Ph.D. from Berkeley's Graduate Theological Union in 1971.
Rev. Allen was ordained on May 2, 1968 by the Palo Alto Unitarian Church (now the UU Church of Palo Alto), and he carried out his first parish ministry at the First Unitarian Church of Honolulu, HI from 1972 to 1980. In that year he was called to the First Unitarian Church of Oklahoma City, OK. Rev. Allen dedicatedly served the Oklahoma City church for 14 years, until his official retirement in 1994; the congregation honored Dick as their Minister Emeritus and Lois as Choir Director Emeritus, and named the church's new courtyard in their honor. Rev. Allen then performed interim ministries at two California congregations: Throop UU Church in Pasadena (1994 – 1996) and the UU Church of the Monterey Peninsula in Carmel-by-the-Sea (1996 – 1997). Finally he served for a short time as the minister of Napa Valley UUs in Napa, CA (2000 – 2001).
In addition to his parish ministry, Rev. Allen performed much service to the denomination. He was the secretary of UU Advance from 1982 to 1984. Rev. Allen also served on the board of the Southwest UU Conference from 1983 to 1985, and in that year he was program chair for the Conference's Summer Institute. He also served as president of the Southwest Chapter of the UU Ministers' Association from 1989 to 1991. In 1994 Rev. Allen was a chaplain at the Institute for Religion in an Age of Science's summer conference on Star Island, NH. And both he and Lois were active for many years and in several capacities with the UU Retired Ministers and Partners Association.
Outside his denominational work, Dick belonged to several community organizations. He sat on the boards of the Oklahoma Alliance for Children and of the Friends of the Library of Central Oklahoma. A pro-choice advocate, Rev. Allen twice served on his local Planned Parenthood boards—for Hawaii and for Central Oklahoma—as well as on the policy council of the Oklahoma Religious Counsel for Abortion Rights.
He self-published two books while serving in Oklahoma City: Loving a Kind of Light in 1985 and Deeper into the Cave in 1991. In his spare time, Dick enjoyed reading, watching films, visiting art museums, and engaging in conversation.
Throughout his ministry, Rev. Allen was known for a warm spirit coupled with a keen intellect—an appreciation for life's deep questions, which resist easy or black-and-white answers. Dick once mused: "On my tombstone, there could be my name, my dates, and the sentence, 'It is more complicated than that.'"
He is survived by his wife of 50 years Lois Allen; children Bruce Klickstein, Laura Crowder, Robin Klickstein, and Joe Allen; grandchildren Crystal Allen, Maile Allen, Emily Hunt, Kristina Koberg, Cameron Ito, Grace Bancroft, and Joe Bancroft; six greatgrandchildren; and siblings Margaret Starbuck, John Allen, and Joseph Allen. He was predeceased by his first wife Emma Lou.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Ministerial Discretionary Fund of the UU Fellowship of San Luis Obispo, 2201 Lawton Ave., San Luis Obispo, CA, 93401; and to the UU Society for Ministerial Relief, c/o the Rev. Dr. David Hubner, 192 Boston Post Rd. #29, Sudbury, MA 01776.
A memorial service will take place at 2pm on Saturday, December 16 at the UU Fellowship of San Luis Obispo County, 2201 Lawton Ave, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401.
Notes of condolence can be sent to Lois Allen at 1691 Seabright Ave., Grover Beach, CA 93433.
The Rev. Donald "Don" William McKinney died on October 1, 2017 at the age of 90.
Don was born on June 9, 1927 in Manchester, NH to parents Victoria R. and William L. McKinney. In part because his father was himself a Unitarian minister, Don grew up very active in the church. He participated in religious education and youth groups at the First Congregational Society, Unitarian of Bridgewater, MA (now First Parish Bridgewater Unitarian Universalist Church)—where he would later be ordained. Don served in the U.S. Army for a year after high school, then attended Harvard College on the G.I. Bill, graduating in 1949 with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Relations. Don then earned his Bachelor of Sacred Theology from Harvard Divinity School in 1952.
Rev. McKinney was ordained on June 8, 1952 by the Bridgewater congregation. He first served as Assistant Minister at the First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn, NY from 1952 to 1957, during which time he married his beloved wife Julie. In 1957 he became the senior minister of the Brooklyn congregation. Don ministered to his church for almost 40 years, ever a strong advocate for civil rights and responsible action. Upon his retirement in 1992, the First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn named Rev. McKinney their Minister Emeritus.
In addition to his parish ministry, Rev. McKinney was very active in denominational and community organizations. He served for a time as President of the Middle Atlantic States Branch of the Unitarian Ministers' Association. Additionally he was a member of the UUA's Budget Committee and UN Advisory Committee, and of the UU Service Committee. Rev. McKinney also chaired his district's Committee on Social Responsibility, and in 1965 chaired the Skinner Sermon Award Committee.
Don served as president of Concern for Dying, a right-to-die organization which he was instrumental in creating. He also sat for a time on the Planned Parenthood Committee of Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Board of New York's Civil Liberties Union, the board of Brooklyn Heights Youth Center, and the advisory board of the Urban League of Brooklyn. Finally he served on the long range planning committee and board of Long Island's Southold Free Library, and later was a member of the resident health committee at Peconic Landing.
In his spare time, Don loved to travel and to attend the theatre. He also enjoyed gardening, as well as watching TV news—especially on MSNBC. And he would often visit friends and neighbors in the health center at Peconic Landing.
Writing in 1966, 14 years into his ministry at the Brooklyn church, Rev. McKinney offered the following reflection on their shared endeavor:
Minister and congregation together accept it to be their task to raise and probe life's deepest questions, to be reinforced in cherished traditions and shared convictions, to face and wrestle with unpleasant and difficult realities in themselves and the larger community… [T]he liberal church must sound the rallying call for free minds, open inquiry, responsible action, and in all ways possible nurture individual human dignity.
He is survived by his wife of over 60 years Julie L. McKinney, children Bruce B. McKinney and Barbara McKinney Sow, and grandchildren Omar and Adama Sow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn, 48 Monroe Place, Brooklyn, NY 11201 and to First Universalist Church of Southold, P.O. Box 221, Southold, NY 11971.
A memorial service will take place at 3pm on Sunday, November 12, 2017 at the First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn, NY (address above); another was held on October 28, 2017 at Jamesport Meeting House, 1590 Main Rd., Laurel, NY 11948.
Notes of condolence can be sent to Julie McKinney at 1500 Brecknock Rd. Apt 302, Greenport, NY, 11944.
The Rev. Dr. John Burton Wolf died on September 19, 2017 at the age of 92.
John was born on September 6, 1925 in Bloomington, IL to parents Walter and Helen (née Young) Wolf. He served in the Navy during World War II, and then received his pre-med Bachelor of Science degree from Illinois Wesleyan University in 1949. Having heeded a call toward ministry, John went on to earn his Bachelor of Divinity from Meadville Lombard Theological School in 1952. He completed additional studies with the University of Chicago's Federated Theological Faculty in 1953, and was later awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Meadville Lombard Theological School in 1976.
Dr. Wolf was first called to the Church of the Good Shepherd Universalist (now Olympia Brown Memorial UU Church) in Racine, WI in 1952. It was in Racine that Dr. Wolf was ordained on February 19, 1953. John was then called to serve Meadville, PA's Independent Congregational Church - Unitarian (now the UU Church of Meadville) from 1954 until 1960. In that year Dr. Wolf was called to All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, OK, where he would minister with passion and dedication for 35 years. John was a fervent advocate for civil rights and racial justice. In 1965, after the civil rights marches in Selma, AL, Dr. Wolf hosted Tulsa's first interfaith and interracial worship service—followed by a solidarity march through the city's downtown. John further helped lead the fight for integration in Tulsa's schools, which finally came in 1973. Through his leadership, All Souls grew to become one of the largest UU congregations in the country, and John helped found two new UU churches is Tulsa: Hope Unitarian Church in 1969 and Church of the Restoration UU in 1988. When Dr. Wolf retired in 1995, All Souls elected him their Minister Emeritus.
Dr. Wolf carried out a vast array of service to the denomination. He was an officer of the Midwest UU Conference, served on the Ohio Meadville and Southwest Districts' Boards of Directors, and was Vice-President of the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association. Dr. Wolf also represented his region on the UUA's Board of Trustees (1989 – 1993), and was a member of many other UUA boards and committees including the Board of Review, the Commission on Appraisal, the Ministerial Fellowship Committee, and the Panel on Theological Education.
Dr. Wolf was a co-founder of the Oklahoma branch of the American Civil Liberties Union, and served on the National Board of Planned Parenthood. And Dr. Wolf was a pioneer of television ministry: His program "Faith for the Free," though originally only aired on local access, was later broadcast nationwide. Dr. Wolf also authored the book The Gift of Doubt(1983), along with many published articles. A treasured member of the Tulsa community, Dr. Wolf was inducted into the city's Historical Society Hall of Fame in 2015.
In his spare time, John loved to read—most especially about President Abraham Lincoln. For a few years he became a devoted crossword-puzzler. But his greatest avocational passion was for golf; he once remarked that "Retirement is a word for golf."
Rev. Wolf will perhaps be remembered most for his powerful gifts of oration. His beloved wife Barbara believed that John was "the UUA's best preacher in a long time. His timing at the pulpit was outstanding." Preaching at All Souls' pulpit 50 years after he was first called there, Dr. Wolf offered this fond recollection and call to action:
"By the time [I] got here, seeds had already been sown in abundance. … No longer could prejudice be preached in the guise of principle, or ignorance paraded as piety, or kindness killed in the name of virtue. Not in this town. … But we are not done yet—not by a long shot. We have stood our ground; often as not we stand alone. … But look out these windows: Behold, we have planted a garden in the wilderness."
He is survived by his wife of 65 years Barbara N. Hudgins Wolf, son John David Wolf (Anita Jacobson Wolf) and daughter Catherine Elizabeth Wolf, grandson Aaron Michael Wolf-Johnson (Kayla Wolf-Johnson), and great-granddaughter Willow Rose Wolf-Johnson.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the John B. Wolf Memorial Fund, c/o All Souls Unitarian Church, 2952 S. Peoria Ave, Tulsa, OK 74114. The memorial fund will be distributed based on Rev. Dr. Wolf's wishes and the wishes of his family.
A memorial service took place on Monday, September 25, 2017 at All Souls Unitarian Church.
Notes of condolence can be sent to the family at All Souls Unitarian Church (address above).

Miz is one of the best entertainers WWE has at present. He is a former WWE Champion, eight times Intercontinental Champion, two-time United States Champion, two-time World Tag Team Champion and four times WWE Tag Team Champion in the WWE. Miz also won the RAW Money in the Bank match in 2010, the Mixed Tag Team Challenge with Asuka and is the fifth Grand Slam Champion (under the current format and fourteenth overall), the twenty-fifth Triple Crown Champion and also two times Slammy award winner. In short, he is perhaps the most accomplished WWE superstar that there in the current roster of SmackDown.
Miz defeated Jeff Hardy to qualify and enter the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match. He is one of the hot favorites to win this contest. Miz has done it previously and cashed in his contract successfully and became the WWE Champion. This year, chances are that it might happen again.
If Miz win's the match, there are a lot of positive angles which can be brought into effect. Miz can face either AJ Styles or Shinsuke Nakamura and it would be really entertaining for the WWE Universe. It has been a long time since Miz has won any World Championship and thus it would be a nice idea.
Also, Daniel Bryan and Miz have a lot of animosity between them. Bryan can cost the Miz and prevent his successful cashing of the contract. This could be a perfect way to rekindle the old rivalry between Miz and Daniel Bryan. Bryan and Miz have a lot of unfinished business and it could lead to a high-voltage match between the duo at WrestleMania.
Another story-line which can be put forward by the WWE management is a triple threat match between Miz, AJ Styles, and Shinsuke Nakamura. This will be fascinating as Miz and Nakamura never had an encounter before. Fans across the globe would love this contest.
Miz has been a WWE Champion before and delivered some jaw-dropping promos in WWE. He is capable of making any pedestrian thing look unconventional. If Miz wins the contract and becomes a Champion, it will open up new plots for the WWE Championship. Players like Samoa Joe, Big Cass and others can challenge him for the title. It will also be beneficial from WWE's viewpoint, as Miz can single-handedly boost the rating of SmackDown Live. Miz can sell arenas and could contribute to high viewership. Thus, if Miz wins the Money in the Bank Ladder match, it would be 'best for business'.

Fried Artichoke Hearts with Garlic Aioli
These Fried Artichoke Hearts with Garlic Aioli are crispy and delicious, you won't be able to stop at just one! Make a whole bunch so you don't run out!
I personally think it's all about the dipping sauce. The garlic aioli used for these Fried Artichoke Hearts with Garlic Aioli is so good – and it only takes 30 seconds to make. An Aioli (I learned) is just like a homemade mayonnaise – but this one is loaded with garlic and cheese which makes it even better!
These fried artichokes couldn't be easier to make either. You start with jarred artichoke hearts, drained and dried off…all the work is already done for you.
Set out three shallow dishes with flour, eggs, and bread crumbs.

The call girls who are typically sex workers who unlike the street prostitutes, value discretion and in most cases do not work in any formal business establishment such as a brothel, but may be employed by an organized companion agency. But, quite a number of them are also separate and not connected to any business.
Nonetheless, whether it's you first time to inquire for call girls or it's your custom routine, there are some essential factors that still need to be taken into consideration to guarantee discretion as well as safe from any liability. The tips are often precautionary steps that act as a guide.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
from where will my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 He who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
8 The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time on and forevermore.
This psalm, if written by David, may express the early flush of enthusiasm and idealism that often accompany the individual's spiritual rebirth. The idea, or even stronger, the expectation that God will protect the believer from every danger and disappointment in life is itself hopelessly naive.
Truth is, hardship comes upon believers as much as on unbelievers, on saints as on sinners. So then what's the difference? Where's the real advantage (if we may put it thus) in the spiritual life for those who make the decision to live for Something More? If it's not protection and guarantees, what then?
The short answer is that faith in God provides to the one willing to bet life and all its chips on a supreme grace underlying existence itself a deep peace and inner strength that can endure the troubles that come our way.
Sometimes individuals can feel guilty, or that their faith is inferior or insufficient, if they have a hard time believing in the god that swoops in and intervenes for the protection and happiness of his elect. Over time and with maturity, we gradually (or suddenly) learn that God doesn't drive away the night, so much as offer assurance that "even though I walk through the valley of shadows, Thou art with me."

If you are in search of a new roof, you might wonder the type of roof that would work best for your property. Metal roofs and shingles are incredible roofing options. However, they are quite different and it is important for you to understand the distinctions, so that you can know the best roof for you. This article weighs down the advantages and disadvantages of metal roofs and shingles.
The first factor you need to look at when differentiating between metal roofs and shingles is the cost of installation. Metal roofs are more expensive when you consider them as a one-time cost. However, they do help you save money in the long term. The main reason behind this is that one metal roof can easily outlast three shingle roofs.
As aforementioned, shingles are cheaper than metal roofing as a one-time cost, a factor that many homeowners find appealing. Nevertheless, shingle roofing will cost you more in the long term, as you have to do regular maintenance and replace more frequently than metal roofs.
Metal roofs are quite strong and can stand up to anything. Due to this, they can last for over 50 years. Nevertheless, falling branches and extreme hail could create dents on your metal roof. It can also be harmed if you regularly walk on it improperly.
On the other hand, shingles have a shorter lifespan compared to metal roofs. In fact, they have a lifetime of between 15 and 30 years. Damp conditions and pooling water can lead to growth of fungus and algae growth. Temperature spikes and ice dams can also reduce the life of your shingle by creating cracks.
Energy Efficiency
Asphalt and shingles work differently when exposed to different climates. Metal roofing is seen to work well in hot climates. In fact, the material is able to keep a house much cooler than shingles do. The main reason behind this is that metal is able to reflect sunlight, keeping your home cool. On the other hand, shingles absorb heat, making a house hotter.
Since shingles absorb heat, they help keep a house warm during winter. Nevertheless, with the right insulation, metal roofing could do the same. Furthermore, the EPA has shown significant energy savings of a metal roof, meaning that energy spending will still be low with metal roof, despite the fact that more heating is needed.
Ease of Installation
Metal roofing is quite tough to install, and often requires an experienced contractor to do the work. Finding a professional contractor is very important because most metal roofing issues come because of installation errors. When compared to shingle installers, very few professionals possess the right skills to install metal roofing.
Shingles need little labor and time for both replacement and installation. The main reason behind this is that they come prepackaged and ready to be nailed to the deck. If you working with metal roofing, then you ought to handle finished panels, connect panels together using screws, and later install the flashing. This work requires more skill, labor, and time on the part of the installer.
Metal roofs happen to be more eco-friendly than shingles because they are mostly made of recycled material. In addition, since metal roofs are more sustainable, there is not much replacement that needs to be done, meaning minimal metal materials are released into the environment.
Shingles, on the other hand, require frequent replacement, meaning a lot of asphalt shingles are released into the environment. In fact, the United States receives over 20 billion pounds of shingles every year. Furthermore, shingles are petroleum-based, which increases the country's dependency on fossil fuels.
One of the greatest differences between shingles and metal roofing is lifespan. Normally, metal roofing is expected to last for over 50 years before degradation signs start showing. There are metal materials such as zinc and copper that can last over 100 years. On the other hand, shingles last a maximum of 25 years, and this material is highly prone to wear and tear.
When it is time to install a new roof, the numerous options in the market can be overwhelming to you. Metal roofing has long been known for its longevity and durability. On the other hand, shingles are famous for their reliability, ease of maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. Although both materials are great for roofing, one may be better, depending on what you are looking for. Thus, comparing the features might help you make the best decision for your roof.

Hissy Fit Jones here. I don't post much, but today is National Feral Cat Day, a day that's near and dear to my heart.
I was born to a feral mama. Jen got my mama and then me fixed through a snip and tip program. Then I got sick, and I showed up hoping Jen would help me. And she did. I've lived inside with her ever since.
There are many stray and feral cats in the US. How many? It's estimated there are 50 million of them. Compare that to the 86.4 million cats that are 'owned.' That's alot of homeless cats!
There are many differing opinions on how to address the feral cat problem. The most common approach is to do nothing. As you can see, it's not working.
Some people want to just kill the cats, but the general public tends to cry foul when these measures…

text: Old farm in Autauga County has mature timber, a pine plantation, old fields, creeks and streams. The family has moved from the farm leaving two older houses, several outbuildings and even an old outhouse. The property has good road frontage on a peaceful, paved county road. The old farm houses could be fixed up and used as hunting camp houses. The fields are separated by a series of spring branch hollows that create a nice timbered corridor between openings. Deer trails and signs of Turkey activity are noticeable throughout the tract. Some of the timber is very mature and the pine plantation is +/-12 years old and will need to be thinned soon, producing some income from the property in the near future. This old farm is a pleasant retreat and can be easily accessed from nearby state highways. Enjoy the variety and tranquility that makes this property the perfect place to call your own farm.

Dean Cain
The weekend editions of Fox and Friends on Fox News Channel spent a substantial amount of time highlighting the "outcry" over an "extreme' new law recently signed by New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo that would allow abortions to be performed all the way up until right before birth. The weekend anchors even hosted an OB/GYN who argued that an abortion to save a woman's life would never be necessary in the third trimester as he also recalled receiving threats since he spoke out on the issue.
According to a press release from the producers of Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer, the New York Times has contributed to the recent media blackout of the successful independent film about the murderous abortionist.
From their usual lack of coverage on the annual March for Life to treating pro-lifers as wholesale crazies, it's clear that the media doesn't want to face the intimate realities of legal baby killing. The recent film about the trial of abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, not only tells his story, but shows how reluctant the media is to touch abortion, even if events surrounding it involve first degree murder.
Gosnell works on so many levels it's hard to count them all. The film tackles one of the most emotional subjects in our culture – abortion – with grace and care. The screenplay packs a specific point of view but leaves the soapbox storytelling off the frame. We're gripped by a narrative that could chase away those with weak stomachs.
"Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer" debuts in theaters nationwide on Oct. 12. I do believe this groundbreaking film by indie producers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney is the most important movie in America right now — a true-life saga of good vs. evil, deadly medical malpractice, systemic government malfeasance and cultural apathy toward the most vulnerable members of our society.
Actor Dean Cain calls himself "pro-choice," but that didn't stop him starring in an upcoming film revealing the horror story of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell. Cain stars as Detective James "Woody" Wood in Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer, which opens in as many as 750 theaters October 12. MRC Culture interviewed Cain Sept. 21 at Family Research Council's 2018 Values Voter Summit.
Appearing as a guest on Friday's Tucker Carlson Tonight on FNC to promote his film on the trial of infamous abortion doctor and convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell, actor Dean Cain not only recounted the challenges he faced in producing and advertising the film, but he also called out the double standard employed by liberals on issues of sexual assault.
In the case of this holiday season, content creators are especially getting out of their way to cash into the spirit. So, for this space's debut edition of Winners & Losers in Entertainment, there are two winners and two losers.
After surviving a targeted effort by Turkish lobbies to derail its success, the Armenian Genocide film The Promise will open in American theaters next week. And Hollywood celebs are getting the word out.
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign received unprecedented Hollywood support, from super PACs to TV shows, to social media, to concert endorsements. But actor Dean Cain warned celebrities, "Be careful about the things you say and vilifying the other side because it can come back to bite you." On "Fox & Friends" on December 6, Cain, who stars in the film about convicted abortionist Kermit Gosnell, Gosnell, discussed Hollywood's "political activism." In light of recent statements made by actress Sally Field and singer Madonna, Cain argued that it's "fine" if a celebrity wants to have a "cogent argument," but "a lot of these folks are out there shouting down opponents and talking down to other people and that very much can backfire."
Actor Dean Cain, best known for his title role in the 1990s series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, recently sat down with Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics for an interview in RCP's Changing Lanes web series.
Among other things, Cain talked about his political leanings -- socially liberal but conservative on foreign, military, and economic policies -- as well as his disagreements with the Obama administration. "A president's job is supposed to be to enforce our laws, which, it seems to have gone by the wayside at this point in time," Cain observed. After Bevan asked what Cain's biggest "gripe" was with the Obama administration, the actor replied [emphasis mine; watch video below page break]:
Every musician and celebrity used to dream of being "on the cover of the Rolling Stone," but that is apparently changing after the biweekly magazine for aged hippies interested in music ran a feature story and cover photo spotlighting alleged Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
The reaction has been explosive, with famous people ranging from wrestlers to actors and musicians slamming the publication's sympathetic coverage of the accused terrorist and publisher Jann Wenner with remarks ranging from "pathetic" to "irresponsible."
