Land scaping suggestion for improving privacy
We recently bought a home which has town homes to west side with road separating us. We also had empty lot behind our back yard. Now, they are building town home there as well with 10' setback. We got couple of windows very close to us in the corner. Please give us your suggestions to grow shrubs to improve privacy.
We liked and bought this home without thinking about these issues. Looks like, we are going to have issues at the time of resale.
Pic of my home with town homes to west.
This post was edited by ritholtz on Thu, Sep 19, 13 at 18:33
We have some shrubs (I think they are privet) growing in our side yard to get some screening from west side town homes. We also have 6 live oaks planted along the road between us. Is it possible to grow privet shrubs to 10' to 12' quickly. Are there any better alternatives than privets. Is it good idea to plant more privets to fill the gaps.
New town homes are being built next to our back yard. We got 2 windows in the corner. Please give us suggestions for some tall growing shrubs to improve our privacy. Our neighbor is going to do something to screen these windows from his side. I have to worry about screening from my side.
Full grown trees/shrubs are very expensive. I am planning to plant smaller ones and spend some time on growing them. For backyard, I am thinking of getting 3 Magnolia Shrubs.
For side yard, we are thinking of filling gaps with grown up privets to match existing ones. Is it possible to remove the existing privets in the back and fill the gaps to the side.
Any fertilizers to use to grow them faster.
This post was edited by ritholtz on Thu, Sep 19, 13 at 18:32
Wow...this is no doubt a challenging situation, but I like that. Here are 2 photoshop images of what I would do.
1. Can you add a trellis to the top of that fence to gain some extra height and privacy?
2. narrow evergreen conifers for privacy with a little loss of yard as possible (Italian Cypress)
3. I agree that a Magnolia would be a good choice. Magnolia grandiflora 'TMGH' gets tall, but stays relativley narrow. Id go for something fastigiate, so it won't overwhelm the yard.
Finally, you might want to consider some type of pergolas for additional overhead privacy on your patio area. I think the landscaping looks nice on the "west side" with the privet. I wouldn't be too bothered by that view, but if you are, you could consider some type of deciduous tree such as a japanese maple that could be limbed up.
Thanks SC77 for your details with pictures. As soon as we started seeing backside town homes popping up within 2-3 months of moving in, we felt very disappointed. But you pics gave us some comfort.
I will upload a picture of our covered patio later. But we have flagstone patio extended into lawn. We are fine with using all that space to create screening shrubs. Is it fine with growing these shrubs near to the foundation.
We have some gaps in west side privet fence. Is it possible to remove privets from back side and fill in these gaps. Let us know any pruning techniques to grow them better and faster.
I think you could improve the situation 100% with properly selected privacy trees, shrubs, trellis's, pergolas, ect.. The roots won't put the fountain at risk, but planting too close to the house isn't good for the plants. Be sure to give them enough room to grow and get some sun. I'm not sure about moving privet that size, you might want to ask on the shrub forum. It could have a considerable root ball, that would require a bobcat or machine to move.
I'm also not sure where you are located, not every zone 8 is the same. You may be able to consider growing some of the other trees at the link below (don't buy from that website, just for reference). Look around and see if people are successfully growing any of those trees. The Italian Cypress might be ideal though, because it looks like you wouldn't be able to prune a tall evergreen along the fence line without going onto the other side.
People on the forums despise Leyland Cypress because it is prone to disease. In the North the Thuja Green Giant is a better choice, but I doubt they would do well in z8, whereas Leyland's grow as far south as z10. They would make a solid wall, but would require a lot of pruning and may make the yard feel too enclosed/claustrophobic. I have both Leyland Cypress and Thuja. Mine have been in the ground for 3 seasons and both grow about 1.5ft a year. Online there are claims they can grow as fast as 3-5ft, but that is questionable.
Here is a link that might be useful: ideas for hedge
I am under a neighbor's 450' long Leyland cypress hedge, which unfortunately is to the south of me (serious winter shade). The Leylands were planted about 20 years ago, and have indeed grown 3' a year, except where they were shaded by existing large cherry and locust trees, and out-competed by those trees for soil moisture.
Keep in mind that once your Leyland cypresses grow tall enough to block the neighbor's view, they would continue to grow at the same rate for many, many years. The height and width numbers given on plant tags are the estimated 10 year size. Divide the 10-year height by 10, and that's the amount it grows in height per year. Same for the 10-year width.
Also, Leylands aren't all that narrow; in another half dozen years, they would eat up nearly half your backyard. And besides that, they would hang over the fence into the neighbor's yard -- and in most localities, the neighbor would have the right to shear them off at the property line. That would be quite ugly from his side, and you'd see some of that ugliness from the other part of your yard.
You will be happier with something narrower than Leyland cypress. You don't have to plant them in a straight line, and you don't have to be limited to a single type of tree. Whichever variety grows widest should be placed in the corner.
I think this is one of the most important information for me.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sustainable landscape designers
This is the risk you run when suggesting Leyland Cypress. Its true, as I said, they require a lot of care in terms of hedging, but if you want fast, full coverage, they can't be beat other than Thuja Green Giant, but they might now grow well in z8.
As with any hedge, the width and height are within your control. I keep my hedge narrow. I do think the Italian cypress us probably your best bet, but it will take many years to block that view
Hi SC77, missingtheobvious and annelayman,
Thanks for lot of information. I looked around my subdivision. There are lot of Magnolia trees used for screening. Looks like I can go for either Italian Cypress or Magnolia.
My fence height is 6'. We have 4' elevation compared to town homes. My east side neighbor has another 1-2' advantage compared to me. He is going to do something to screen the window in his corner. We are allowed to raise fence height up to 8'.
Pic of our patio and backyard. We do not have lot of space with patio extending into lawn. We are planning to use all that corner space to grow shrubs/tress for screening. We will try to make some space in other corner by removing some shrubs.

Hi SC77,
Other than Italian cypress, I am also thinking about Green giants, Magnolia and Crape Myrtle. I have seen Magnolias and lot of Crape Myrtles here. Let me know if any of these might be a better and easier solution. Also wondering, if I can plant Italian cypress trees closer for covering the gap and prune them to keep it around 15' to 10'.
Green Giants get huge... unless you are truely dedicated to sheering them regularly, I wouldn't recommend them. Also, how will you sheer the fence side? They are awesome trees, but they really want to get big. If you do plant them, they should be at least 3ft of the fence.
I don't have any personal experience with Italian Cypress, as it cannot grow here, but it seems like a good choice for your situation. Because they are narrow, you could plant them pretty close together or create a double staggered row. I think 3ft spacing between them it correct for a hedge.
If Green Giant grows in your area, you could also consider using Thuja occidentalis 'Degroot's Spire'. They are a really nice, narrow evergreen Arborvitae. You could even mix and match, with a backrow of the more shade tolerant 'Degroot's Spire' and a front row of Italian cypress..
Staggered Row:

For more ideas, head over to the conifer forum. Those guys are very active, experts, and eager to help. I know there are plenty of people who live in your zone that can add more ideas than I can, and with first hand experience.
Ritholtz: I just moved out of a home where we had Italian Cypress growing along the entire back wall. I will try and post some pictures for you when I get a chance. One word of caution regarding growing Italian Cypress trees... If you have a fear of spiders or are allergic to spider bites, you may want to consider another plant. From my personal experience they are housing magnets for all sorts of spiders, especially black widows.
I just moved into a new home where I am need to plant some privacy screening plants. One that I recently discovered and have taken a real liking to is the Pittosporum Silver Sheen. I thought you might want to check it out.
Hi SC77,
Thanks for feedback on Green giants. I will try checking out conifer forum and keep looking for Thuja occidentalis in local stores. I saw 8' tall Magnolia little gems on sale in local store. But they sold out pretty quickly. None of the stores around me carries Italian cypress.
Some people on other forums recommended wax myrtle. Any feedback on wax myrtles? Looks like they get quickly tall here and easy to grow/shear.

I am also looking for some alternatives to complete my west side privet hedge. I have around 10' gap in two places and everything else is privet hedge. Are there any better alternatives to mix with existing privet hedge?
This post was edited by ritholtz on Fri, Oct 25, 13 at 18:09
Privets are highly-invasive and should just be REMOVED! That hedge could easily be replaced with Wax Myrtles and Texas Sage..
For narrower fence hedging, I would probably use a mix of:
Black Chokeberry
Rusty Blackhaw
'Black Beauty' Semi-Dwarf Black Mulberry (just keep this away from the foundation or water lines)
Texas Mountain Laurel (poisonous seeds)
'Black Beauty' Elderberry
Interspersed with some small understory trees where you have room:
Pineapple Guava
Texas Persimmon
Goldenball Lead Tree
Anacacho Orchid Tree
Eve's Necklace (poisonous seeds)
Hamamelis x intermedia 'Primavera' Hybrid Witchhazel?

Paris Merveilles
A unique tribute to the elegance and treasures of Paris
The exceptional machinery gives life to breathtaking sets. An entire city is transformed before your eyes, blurring the boundaries of space and time. A fantastical journey in which the emblems of the capital are scattered through the various scenes. The upbeat choreographies led by the famous Bluebell Girls and Lido Boys succeed one another at a frenzied pace. The extravagant hats and magnificent costumes are decorated with beautiful feathers and sparkle with a thousand lights. Dare to take a new look at Art Nouveau, stopover at the foot of our famous Iron Lady, admire the fashion shows, and much more.
Figures section
The Designers
No fewer than 11 prestigious designers, alongside the Lido's teams, are behind this original production.
FRANCO DRAGONE Writer and Director
For about ten years, he invested heavily in the company's activism. The Quebec adventure started in 1982. Spotted by Guy Laliberté, who had just founded the Cirque du Soleil, Franco participated as an author-actor in the company's first ten shows, some of which are still touring the world with the same level of success, such as Saltimbanco or Ô. At the same time, he participated in the creation of the Archaos Circus Company in France, thus helping to ensure the respectability of what is referred to as "Nouveau Cirque".
In 2000, he set up home in Louvière. This marked the creation of the Franco Dragone Entertainment Group, the ambition of which is to "create and present the most innovative shows in the world". Among other things, he was the designer of "The House of Dancing Water" in Macao and " A New Day" for Celine Dion in Las Vegas.
Benoît Swan Pouffer Choreographer
In 2005, his work for cinema, television and stage was recognised with the CITT Award in the realm of acrobatic rigging.
He then took over the direction of the sixteen dancers at the Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet Company, where he applied his talents as a choreographer until 2013, with his artistic and avant-garde vision bringing a breath of fresh air to the New York scene.
Considered to be one of the greatest talents in the field, he now creates his dazzling choreographies in the legendary setting of the Lido.
JANE SANSBY Ballet Mistress
She danced in a large number of shows, especially in Europe, and also worked as a dance teacher.
Her adventure at the Lido started in 1993 when she was just 22 years old. She started as a Bluebell Girl and later became the head of the dance troupe.
Jane had always been seduced by the glamour of the Bluebell Girls and the magic of cabaret, so it was a dream for her to join the Lido.
Her wish was granted and she was a Bluebell Girl for 15 years.
Today, on the strength of her experience, Jane works with the Paris Lido's performers as the ballet mistress.
Nicolas Vaudelet Costume Designer
These prestigious collaborations have allowed him to assert a very personal style, which all his creations reflect today.
A lover of Spanish aestheticism, Nicolas combines modernity and classicism to enhance his materials whilst also continuing to respect them.
He is a designer whose youth and talent make him a trend-setter in the world of fashion.
YVAN CASSAR Music Composer and Music Director
Between 1994 and 1997 he collaborated with Vangelis on several projects: the opening ceremony of the World Athletics Championships, several discs with José Carreras, Montserrat Caballé, etc.
In 1996, he became the producer and musical director of the performances by Mylene Farmer and Johnny Hallyday. At the same time, he composed music for several feature films and documentaries, participated in numerous film soundtracks and recorded songs from all over the world with many of the most prestigious artists.
It is an enormous pleasure for the Lido to welcome this great man, who has much more than one string to his bow.
SAULE Music Co-Composer and Lyricist
Two albums later, he came to the attention of two leading names in the world of French music, Dominique A. and Bénabar, with whom he toured.
Spotted by Franco Dragone, he finally returned to the stage and it is a great delight to be able to enjoy him at the Lido.
JEAN RABASSE Set designer
He has sown his genius in many areas, from film sets to theatre design for dance, opera and circus productions.
Rewarded in 1996 with the César for Best Production Design for The City of Lost Children, he returned again in 2001 for Vatel. These awards are the culmination of an impressive career in film, ranging from Vidocq to Asterix, and including the very Parisian Faubourg 26 and the unforgettable Delicatessen.
JAY SMITH Creative Director
After his studies in Dance and Theatre at Butler University in Indianapolis, he began his career as a choreographer and producer for Walt Disney World.
He remained there for 18 years, arranging shows, parades, special events, arena shows, premieres and televised events from the amusement parks.
With a wealth of international experience in creation and production, in 2010 he joined the Dragone group, of which, today, he is an eminent artistic director.
JAQUE PAQUIN Human Performance and Machinery Designer
The Quebec-born artist places his imagination and his technical skills at the service of suspension systems: he literally makes artists and sets fly! He was the man behind the magical Spiderman show on Broadway, and he has participated in several Cirque du Soleil performances since 1990.
Continually looking for ways to increase the dramatic power of a scene or a number, Jaque leaves the hallmark of his unique talent on each of his devices and collaborations.
Patrice Besombes Lighting Designer
Inspired by the greatest French lighting engineers, he applies the techniques used in cinema to theatre and dance. In his shows, he uses light to sculpt faces, constantly seeking to transport the image ever further.
He honed his talents at the ceremony of the 50th Cannes Film Festival.
PATRICK NEYS Video Content Designer
A brilliant creator of content for live shows, his talents are now being put to work at the Lido, Paris.
STEVE DUBUC Sound Designer
Autodidact and adventurous, he travelled to New York in 1987 where he enlisted in the Moscow Circus as chief sound engineer.
Steve Dubuc joined the Cirque du Soleil for the first time in 1994, where he was, in turn, the technical director of Alegria and the technical director of the North American tour for Quidam.
In 1997 Steve Dubuc became the audio project director for "Disneyfest Asia" as well as the Football World Cup in France. In 1999, he brought his support and technical expertise to the Formula 1 World Championships.
He joined the Dragone group in 2012 and integrated the Architecture and Design department of which he is now the director.
OLIVIER SIMOLA Assistant Stage Director & Video Content Designer
As a member of DCA since 1995, he quickly became one of the pillars of the company, leaving his mark on several of its creations.
He collaborated in the ceremonies for the 50th anniversary of the Cannes Festival.
As a video-maker and choreographer, Olivier Simola has nurtured an inventive approach which revolves around both the singular and collective universe.
The Artists
Each artist is selected meticulously by the Ballet Master on the basis of very strict criteria. Dance techniques, artistic qualities, personality and physical harmony, nothing is left to chance. This precision has largely contributed to the company's reputation, in particular in terms of the dancer's height, something which is of prime importance. A Bluebell Girl must not measure less than 1.75 m and a Boy 1.83 m.
For almost 70 years, the famous company has continued to reinvent itself by preserving that which constitutes the essence of the Bluebell Girls: excellence, precision and energy regardless of the situation. It is this intensity, to date unequalled in the history of show business and music hall around the world, which ensures the great pleasure of spectators.

I am not sure don ( sorry but I cant see you as a goofydon...it makes me giggle...lol. ), whether people will wait for the updated ipad mini, but I wish Apple had made it with the retina display from the start as it would be cleaning up now and for Christmas.
The thing with the iphone 5 is that if I wanted one, yes I would wait, but if I am purchasing one as a present for someone, I would want it straight away, so it is a case of horses for courses.
It is also very difficult to actually pinpoint the real reason for the sell off. yes rumour of massive tax increases in the US would be a sound reason, but I dont think that is the main one. The price dropped dramatically yesterday based on what Foxconn said about supply and product yield issues and that would seem to indicate that product supply and customer delivery is the main issue. And if so, this is the most annoying thing. Cook is supposed to be a production man and so why is this happening.
People are saying that the issues are to do with assembling the 5 which would then indicate that it is a design issue, in terms of building it, etc. I cant see how Apple would have missed this, so does this represent a weakness in management?....I guess we will find out at the end of the first quarter.Nov 8, 2012. 12:55 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Yes, except that the ipad mini is not sold out.......you can walk into the Apple store in London and walk out with one right now. According to the Apple staff, " we have thousands still available ". Might be different elsewhere, but in the UK, the most definitely have not sold out...hence the mass of tv ads on the tv over here.

Yes indeed, just like the rumour of the ipad mini earlier in the year.....which was only a rumour remember. And I disagree on your time scales. Here in the UK, Apple are literally saturating the TV channels with Ads for the ipad mini. Before if you saw one a week after the iphone 5 was released it was a lot, but now, they are on 10 plus times every evening. That says they are not attracting that much interest and whilst you are right about most people not being " geeks ", people here in the UK at least, do look at reviews before they purchase something......so Apple must be aware that the display is not up there with competitors products, so they will fix this sooner rather than later.

Well goofydon ( and I love that name by the way ), things may not quite be the way you are suggesting. With regard to the ipad mini, I have read that Apple are already designing a retina screen version for sometime early next year. The display is an issue with the ipad mini and by bringing out a retina screen version by next spring ( thats what is being said ) they have instantly made the current version obsolete. So given the knowledge that a new updated version is going to come out in march, who in their right mind is going to purchase the current version?....they did this with the ipad 3 remember and a lot of people were less than happy about that.
With regard to the iphone 5, the supply issues ( read that as yield build issues ) shows absolutely no sign of being addressed and with a 4 - 5 week wait ( at the moment ) anyone who orders one for someone as a Christmas present, wont be able to give it to them on the day. And thats the thing about Christmas presents. They are bought to give to someone on Christmas Day or Eve, etc.
And the thing about people taking the profits for tax reasons. Yes in some cases, but when I read that the large institutional investors are pulling out because of long term uncertainty, that IS a big issue.

VirnetX (VHC) +28.6% following its legal win against Apple. Though the ruling was related to FaceTime, VirnetX's VPN patents could theoretically be asserted against many other products - the company is also suing Cisco, Avaya, and Siemens. An Apple (AAPL) attorney sounds defiant: "VirnetX is not entitled to money for things they did not invent. The VirnetX technology, if used, is a small part of very large, complex products." Samsung and Google probably feel the same away about some other patents. (PR) [View news story]
Hmmmm....not entitled for money for things they didnt invent?....now who do we know who sues others on patents they got for things they didnt invent?Nov 7, 2012. 10:30 AM | 5 Likes |Link to Comment
The EU is set to accept an e-book settlement offer from Apple (AAPL) and four book publishers (including NWS' HarperCollins), Reuters reports. Much like a U.S. settlement that was recently cleared, the deal will allow Amazon (AMZN) and other e-book sellers to set their own prices - in Amazon's case, that often means selling e-books at a loss. Pearson (PSO), also part of the EU's investigation, isn't part of the settlement deal. Apple is still at odds with the DOJ. [View news story]Nov 6, 2012. 12:18 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

I am sorry, but that is total BS....Samsungs Tabs all have their name written on it on the front so if they cant see that then they must be blind and wouldn't be buying a tablet in the first place. Also, go into any phone shop that sells both Apple and others and you will see that the Apple products are also completely separate. To say people thought a Samsung phone was an Apple phone is complete BS.

A U.S. appeals court has overturned Judge Koh's pre-trial injunction on Samsung's (SSNLF.PK) Galaxy Nexus, claiming Koh's court "abused its discretion" in issuing the ban. U.S. Galaxy Nexus sales have been miniscule since Samsung launched the Galaxy S III, but the ruling could have implications for future appeals related to Apple's (AAPL) August legal win. On Dec. 6, Koh will rule on Apple's request for bans on 8 Samsung phones. (also) [View news story]Oct 11, 2012. 01:19 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

Recent Apple Java Update Doesn't Fix Critical Java Flaw Claims Researcher 102

Sorry, QT is vile and unnatural, IMHO.
If you don't like it that's fine, that's not really any kind of objective criticism though. If you don't like Qt there's always other options like wxWidgets, FLTK, etc...
Effective sure
Which is why so many people use it.
The C++ code itself is nothing.
Which is why your post was so baffling.
What matters is that for each platform you target you need different libraries, and each library has its own idiom.
But you don't, there are so many cross-platform libraries. You get the same when targeting Android with Java anyway, you can't just use Swing like on other platforms.
Then you end up contorting your architecture for each set of libraries you are trying to integrate.
Do you have a specific example of why you did this?
This is not impossible (I've written lots of portable, complex C++ in the last two decades) but I can tell you it is *vastly* easier, more consistent, and I would argue more performant (since the time I save not fixing dumb C++ loopholes I instead spent optimizing my Java) to use Java.
This all depends on your proficiency, not sure what these 'dumb C++ loopholes' you're referring to are, could you be specific?
Flightgear is an admirable bit of software. I looked at extending it but realized after two decades of C++ and a decade of Java I knew which language to base a new *reliable* multi-player, multi-core product on.
So what specifically makes Java more reliable?
So I understand your advocacy for C++.
What advocacy for C++?
Java becomes the better choice for new heavily multi-threaded stuff, IMHO.
Why is that?

I am currently in a men's group studying Ken Nair's book, "Discovering The Mind of a Woman." This is a highly insightful book if you want to become a better man and husband. It has made me think of three huge lessons I have learned with Debbie over 40 years of marriage:
1. Listen to the "cautions of your wife."
I first heard this idea when Debbie and I were in our 20's. It is huge. There are times when your wife will want to send you a caution about something or someone. She may not have all the facts and reasons that you need, but something in her is providing you a caution. Pay attention. Do not pass by it too quickly. It will save you a lot of grief over time.
2. "Your wife is feeding you information."
I first heard this idea at 43, 22 years into our marriage, in a counselor's office. On one occasion, Debbie was talking to me and I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." The counselor looked at me and said, stop that. I said, stop what? The counselor said, "your wife is feeding you information and you keep discounting her." This was a defining moment in our lives and marriage. Gents, your wife is feeding you important information about life, love, the children, the future, the past etc. Pay attention. It is a great source of information and opportunity to connect as couples.
3. Debbie is my "Lady of Wisdom."
Debbie and I were introduced to "5 Aspects of Woman" when we came to North Point in 2001. One of the aspects is, Lady of Wisdom. When I realized that Debbie was given to me as a lady of wisdom, she took the #1 poll position as my counselor. Yes, I still have a CPA, lawyer, realtor and other men, but she took the #1 place of wisdom and counsel to me.
When you listen to the caution of your wife, listen to the information she is feeding you and call her your, "Lady of Wisdom," you will experience a connection, intimacy and oneness in your marriage that you never imagined. Enjoy.

Questions From A Son to His Father
In the fall of 2014, my son, Dave, was thinking through his life and our relationship. As a result, he sent me the following questions that I have been thinking about and processing ever since. I initially wrote back an eleven page response but realize that these questions and conversations really take a life time. I hope that as you read them, you too will process and answer with your own father and sons.
Time together
How much 1 on 1 time did we spend together?
What did we do together to bond?
What kinds of things did we do for fun?
What were some of your ways / attempts to connect with me?
What kinds of activities, discussions, or preparations did you do with me to become a man?
What kinds of attempts were made to help me during my lost NOVA years?
How far out did you think about your my future?
What are things you wanted to instill in me?
How did you prepare me for marriage?
What did you notice about me?
When did you realize I was going to become a man?
What did you think I was good at?
How often did we talk about;
- my interests
- my talents
- acquiring hobbies
- managing finances
- attending college
- determining a career
- types of employment
- how to plan for the future
- how to finding purpose
- how to treat women
- preparing for marriage
Current tense
What is the role of a father?
What is the role of a father once his children are out of the house?
My part with my wife and children
What is man's responsibility as a husband?
What is man's responsibility as a father?
What do those responsibilities look like on a day to day basis?
Should father's teach their sons how to be husbands? If so, what should be taught?
Should father's teach their sons how to be fathers? If so, what should be taught?
I am hoping to know and grow with you.
Love you,

Thanksgiving Day 2014
This morning as I wake and wait for six of my eight children and eight of my twelve grandchildren to arrive for Thanksgiving, I am full of thanks. I thought of many things in this time and season of my life.
You? For what are you thankful this season?
- My Father in heaven who made me and loves me.
- My Savior, Jesus Christ, who died and rose again for me and my sin.
- My Helper and Comforter, the Holy Spirit who empowers me each day.
- The Bible, the Word of God which feeds me daily bread and lights my path.
- Creation and all the magnificent things God has made for His glory and our enjoyment.
- My story, with all the good, hard and ugly of it...the redemptive beauty that is coming from ashes...my birth order, time in history, gender, gifts, talents, parents, sisters, and all my experiences.
- Debbie and our relationship for over 40 years...an amazing and remarkable woman, wife, mother, grand mother, artist and servant. A true "Lady of Wisdom."
- Four married children and awesome spouses
- Twelve grand children...10 boys...2 girls, though Olivia is in heaven waiting for us.
- My Mom and her beautiful marriage to and ministry with, Wayne May.
- Very dear friends and a counselor who help me be a better man, husband, father, grandfather, son brother and servant leader.
- A good work to do with men and (7), with a crystal clear mission to, "Restore man to his original design."
- A great church...leading people into growing relationships with Jesus Christ.
- A small group of couples we love and love doing life together.
- Health, even though at 60 I am beginning to feel the "4th Quarter" changes. :-)
- Our home...a place of refuge and hospitality and ministry and so much more.
- Anticipation and hope for 2015 and the years to come, Lord willing.
You? For what are you thankful this season?
Heavenly Father, thank you for your amazing love and grace and kindness in my life. I am humbled by all that You are and all You have given to me in Jesus and your Spirit. I give thanks this day, for the good, hard and ugly things that have happened in my life and thank you that you are healing, redeeming, restoring and so much more. Thank You...in Jesus Name.
In Everything Give Thanks
Giving thanks is such a big idea in the Bible. Giving thanks is an act of the will and obedience more than an act from our emotions. Some times we "feel" thankful and give thanks and other times we don't. Either way, when we give thanks, it is saying, "God, you are good and I trust you in this circumstance, even though it does not "feel" good.
This Thanksgiving, practice giving thanks in every circumstance...good, hard or ugly. God is working it all out...in His way...and will make all things beautiful...in His time.
This Thanksgiving, practice giving thanks in every circumstance...good, hard or ugly. God is working it all out...in His way...and will make all things beautiful...in His time.

Psa. 7:17 I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Psa. 105:1 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
Psa. 106:1 Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psa. 106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.
Psa. 107:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psa. 118:19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.
Psa. 136:26 Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.
Is. 12:4 In that day you will say: "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.
Jer. 33:11 the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD, saying, "Give thanks to the LORD Almighty, for the LORD is good; his love endures forever." For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,' says the LORD.
1Th. 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Rev. 11:17 saying: "We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.

The National's somewhat odd coverage of the music concerts during the F1 has left us rather confused
November 14, 2011 5:06 by p.deleon
There is something about The National's coverage of the F1 that is just a tad odd—we can't really put our finger on it but consider the following tidbit:
"Surrounded by scores of fans in Beatles and Wings paraphernalia, Saif bin Ahmed was a bit puzzled.
"Who is this Paul something?" asked the Emirati, 45.
Told McCartney is one of the biggest selling artists in the industry, Mr bin Ahmed was unimpressed."
This extract from an article, called "McCartney had only Said to convince," you must admit is a rather strange way to review of a music concert. It almost seems like the journo didn't want to cover the event and thought the "confused Emirati angle" was the best way to go (as one of our FB friends very well put it!). It is also not the first time The National chose to go down this road. Here's another anecdote from a different story about the free concerts at the Corniche:
"On the other side of the city at the Beats on the Beach concert, Saeed Mohammed was having a life-changing experience.
The lorry driver from north Pakistan arrived at the free beach concert on the Corniche an hour early. He had only come because of the cool weather. The music was a surprise.
By the end of the night, Mr Mohammed's musical interested had expanded from "patan only" love songs from north Pakistan to R&B, hip-hop and dance.
He looked quizzical when the UAE hip-hop group The Recipe first took the microphone to ask, "Abu Dhabi how you doin'?" But he was all smiles when they broke into beat and rapped, "It's about to go crazy like a mental institution."
When they sang "cold blood is running in my veins", Mr Mohammed gave his friends a thumbs up.
"How many days is this music thing?" he asked. "Four? OK! Very much OK."
Just exactly why this journo thought to classify the above as a 'life changing' experiencing is beyond Kipp. So what is the motivation behind this story. Is this a, "If you come down to the music concerts in Abu Dhabi you can meet interesting people like these" kind of story, or is it a "If you come down to the music concerts in Abu Dhabi you might meet people who are pretty clueless about the music being performed" kind of warning? We don't know what quite to make of these articles, do you?

Excellent value apartments. Wonderful bistro below with excellent food at bargain prices. Frequent trams to centre but we walked -25 minutes. Only slightly spoilt by someone drilling noisily in next flat during breakfast on departure day. It was a shocking noise and no apology was given. Otherwise we enjoyed the whole trip.

Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, 'This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the Lord will not answer you in that day.'
– I Samuel 8:10-18

Hi: 9° Lo:5°
By Dan Santy Monday 29 October 2012 Updated: 19/12 15:37
BURGLARS who smashed their way into a house and stole a 12-week-old puppy have left a family devastated.
Kelly Tolin arrived home with her six-year-old son and his cousins last Wednesday (October 24) afternoon to find thieves had smashed their way in through the back with crowbars.
After searching the house she realised their new bulldog puppy, Charley, had been taken just three weeks after they first took her home to Cresswell Place in Cawston.
Thousands of pounds worth of electrical items and Christmas presents were also taken during the daylight raid.
Husband Paul Tolin said he was working away when his wife called to tell him she had found their back window smashed and their puppy stolen.
He said: "We're not too good at the moment. We're all very upset about it.
"My wife is finding it quite hard to come to terms with, not just losing the dog but also the fact burglars have been in our house."
The couple had talked about getting a dog for years, with Mr Tolin buying Charley for £2,000 as a birthday present for his wife.
"Having not had her very long, we didn't have time to get too attached, but it still hurts," he said.
"We think we were targeted and a lot of people agree, but the police don't think we were and have told us not to take it personally.
"This year we'd finally got some of our Christmas shopping done early, and that was taken too. We're kicking ourselves for buying it now."
A Twitter campaign launched by Mr Tolin to appeal for information is gathering momentum and has gained backing from celebrities including Julian Clary.
And a £1,000 reward is being offered to anyone who returns Charley safely and gives the names of the people responsible for the burglary.
Warwickshire Police is investigating the theft and confirmed the dog is microchipped.
According to the Kennel Club, while dog theft is not particularly common, desirable breeds are sometimes stolen because of their value.
Anyone with information about the burglary or Charley should call Paul Tolin on 07917 733674 or contact Warwickshire Police.

DEFINITION of 'Servant Leadership'
A leadership philosophy in which an individual interacts with others - either in a management or fellow employee capacity - with the aim of achieving authority rather than power. The authority figure intends to promote the well-being of those around him/her. Servant leadership involves the individual demonstrating the characteristics of empathy, listening, stewardship and commitment to personal growth toward others.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Servant Leadership'
Servant leadership seeks to move management and personnel interaction away from "controlling activities" and toward a more synergistic relationship between parties. The term "servant leadership" was coined by Robert Greenleaf, a twentieth century researcher who was skeptical about traditional leadership styles that focused on more authoritarian relationships between employers and employees.
