Starwood's Ryokan in Kyoto Will Have Wooden Outdoor Bathtubs
When earlier this year we first looked at Starwood's foray into Kyoto, there was no website for Suiran, part of its Luxury Collection, despite a projected March opening.
At least that has now changed, and with a website come a few more renderings and the ability to make reservations from March 31 (opening is listed for March 23, though). That takes us right into the heart of sakura season, and the rates are… high. A Superior Room starts at JPY72,000; though with the weaker yen that now translates to about $600 rather than the $720 you'd previously be looking at.
If you want the additional experience of this lovely outdoor deck / garden with wooden bathtub, you'll have to stump for a Deluxe Room, which will ring up another JPY10,000 ($82). A look at the interior of a room below.

This is What The Royal Palm in Miami Has Turned Into...
Moving out.
Yesterday was the official last day of existence for the James Royal Palm Hotel in Miami.
Today, the property is reborn as...wait for it...The Royal Palm Miami South Beach, a Luxury Collection Hotel from Starwood.
Not much else has changed at the property except for its logo which is quite cute. Rates for this weekend for a superior king bed start at $546 a night (plus a $25 resort fee.) FWIW, it's an SPG Category 6 hotel, which means it will take between 20,000 and 25,000 Starpoints to stay here for free night.
So we guess that's that. Or is it?

Does the Danieli Have the Strongest WiFi Signal in Venice?
WiFi options from a ferry 10 minutes away from St Mark's Square
Fast, free WiFi is, in our opinion, a basic hotel right. Mobile WiFi? That's an amazing added extra. WiFi that's so strong the signal stretches across the city? Monsieur, now you are really spoiling us.
So hats off to the Danieli in Venice, whose WiFi signal is so astonishingly strong that we were picking it up all over Venice last week.

What's The Deal With Starwood Hotels' New Brand?
But will the new brand have eclairs like the Le Meridien does?
Last week, while everyone was so Hyatt Centric centric, news came out that Starwood Hotels will launch another "soft" brand that will be positioned somewhere in between the Luxury Collection Hotels and the newly acquired Design Hotels brand. (You can read about Starwood's takeover here.)
There has been no name or branding released and Starwood president and CEO, Frits van Paasschen, would only say that they are in discussion with hotel owners on the brand. But it looks like the brand will most likely be created by converting existing Starwood properties/brands.
Does Starwood, and the world in general, really need another hotel brand? No, most certainly not. But this news is also concerning because the purpose of this new unnamed brand sounds EXACTLY like what Le Meridien Hotels is attempting to do with their brand refresh, which is provide an upscale, design and culture-oriented hotel experience. (FWIW, it also sounds a lot like Loews' OE Collection.)
Of course, this new brand is still unfolding and it could fill a very real need for hotel guests. Also, the M word was also not mentioned and we're thankful for that. But still, this is very much to be continued....
Got any scoop on the new Starwood brand? Let us know!

Starwood Will Be Next for Kyoto With Suiran, a Luxury Ryokan
There was a time when the Hyatt Regency was considered the high-end Western hotel in Kyoto, the former imperial capital of Japan. That changed with the opening of The Ritz-Carlton last year, where a more traditional Japanese experience is still very much possible though in its Tatami Suite. Four Seasons should have been there even before the Ritz, but these photos showed it is years behind schedule, which means the next big brand moving into ancient Kyoto will be Starwood Hotels.
Suiran, part of its Luxury Collection, should open already on March 31 and will be a ryokan-style hotel (a traditional Japanese inn) with just 39 rooms. Above a rendering of the hotel, set within the grounds of the Tenryū-ji temple, which will combine new accommodation with the restoration of historic structures "Enmei-kaku" and "Hasshoken".

Hotel Pulitzer Amsterdam Is Leaving Starwood's Luxury Collection, What Will It Become?
Just after we learned that Starwood's footprint in London will be shrinking with The Lanesborough joining Oetker Collection early next year, here is the news that the same is happening an hour's flight away in Amsterdam: Hotel Pulitzer, currently part of the group's Luxury Collection, will depart on April 1, 2015.
That raises a few interesting questions given the limitations of the city's hotel market (practically zero room for new development in its historic centre), recent arrivals and a few upcoming projects (Andaz, Conservatorium, Waldorf Astoria, Hoxton, and Hyatt), and the rumors we hear about other brands eager to get into the city.
While we have a soft spot for the Pulitzer (25 historic canal houses cobbled together in an unbeatable location on one of the city's main canals, an interior garden, an annual concert held outside on the water, its own canal boat), it could use a refresh of rooms and public spaces. Could we see that happening, after which a big name will swoop in and raise its flag above the front door? Four Seasons Hotel Pulitzer perhaps? (Although we've heard whispers of an as-yet unspecified location further south for the Canadian brand).

Napa Valley's Historic Acacia House Will Become Las Alcobas, A Luxury Collection Hotel
Need an excuse to start planning another trip to the wine country? Starwood Hotels has got your back, with the announcement that historic Acacia House, on Main Street in St. Helena, will be renovated and become Las Alcobas, one of its Luxury Collection Hotels.
True, you need a little bit of patience, with opening planned for somewhere between autumn 2015 and early 2016, but it's never too early, right?
The renderings of the site and the building above are all we were able to dig out from the architect's website, which shows how everything around the main house will be razed to make way for a number of new annexes that we presume will house the majority, if not all, 57 rooms. The above doesn't scream luxury hotel to us, but we'll reserve judgement until we've seen more. Meeting facilities, a signature restaurant, and spa with outdoor pool will be added as well.

What to Drink With Your Selfie At the Grande Bretagne In Athens
We've shown you the Selfie Spot at the Grande Bretagne in Athens and we've banned you from taking selfies. So what else can you do up there? Well, you can take glorious panorama photos of Athens and the Aegean Sea. Or you can drink.
The GB Roof Garden has a restaurant and a separate bar area with outside terrace. (NB: The bar area is right by the Selfie Spot, if you need Dutch courage to get your selfie juices flowing.) Cocktails vary from €14-€21 ($18-$27), there's free WiFi, free (bottled) water served with drinks and some rather snazzy bar snacks including candied fruit. It's all very civilized.

The Selfie Spot At The Grande Bretagne In Athens Is Wasted On Selfies
If there's one thing that'll get us on a plane to Athens, it's a designated selfie spot. We jest, of course – but the idea of a designated selfie spot was so
horrifying compelling that during an afternoon in Athens last week, we had to go and see it for ourselves.
The selfie spot is at the Grande Bretagne in Syntagma Square (Athens' main square), though to our relief, when we asked at the concierge desk where to find it, they had absolutely no idea what we were talking about. To save you the mortification of trying to explain the concept of a selfie spot to an Athenian - right there in the cradle of democracy, literature, philosophy and everything else that selfies run in the face of - just head to the rooftop bar and restaurant.
The selfie spot, it has to be said, is incredible in the flesh. Of course, an Acropolis view in Athens is no big deal - the majority of hotels have them from rooftop terraces, if not from the rooms themselves. But most Acropolis views are not like this (the only one that comes close, we reckon, is the Hilton, which is a little further out of the city center). The Grande Bretagne not only dominates the skyline around it, meaning you're looking straight at the Parthenon, but glance to your left and you're looking straight at the Greek Parliament, with the Evzones soldiers trooping around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier every hour.

Your Fairy Tale Castle Awaits In Dalian, China
What happens when you throw Neuschwanstein, Shrek 2, the Princess Diaries, and the Queen of Versailles in a blender and take the result to China?
This: The Castle Dalian, one of the latest additions to Starwood's Luxury Collection (or at least that's how we like to imagine the creative process went). Especially in CGI rendering, it has a more than a touch of Dreamworks to it, but it's very real, and has hotel rooms inside that you can book. Check out the understated minimalism (not) you will find inside below.

Where to Stay in Warsaw, Europe's Cheapest Five Star City
Hotel Bristol, your token five star
Warsaw. It may not be top of your European breaks wishlist (hell, it probably loses out to Krakow in your Poland wishlist, too), but it does have one thing going for it – it was recently judged the European city with the cheapest five star hotels.
Actually, there's far more to say for Warsaw than that. Flights are uniformly cheap (last year we flew from London on Ryanair for Ł18, or $29 return – yes, total), and while some of the modern city is grim, the Old Town is gorgeous, plus there's loads of interesting history, the 1944 Uprising Museum and Jewish Museum for starters.
So yes, you definitely want to go to Warsaw. And here are some of our favorite places to stay. They're not all five star hotels – but then, you can probably find your own five star hotel, right?

Starwood Hotels to Open 3 Very Important Hotels in China Next Month
Starwood Hotels & Resorts has done exactly what they said they would do in their expansion into China and the Asia Pacific. There are, and have been for quite some time, more hotels in the works than we can keep up with. Almost all Starwood brands have or will soon have an address in China, including Element Hotels, which is opening next year.
We've tried to list all that we know of that's happening with Starwood in China on our Master Openings List, but as seasoned readers of the list know, things change quite a bit and most hotels, get pushed onto the next year.
However, Starwood has three important openings in China in September, with properties that are very big on design and luxury. Here they are:

A New Total-Difference Frequency-Distortion (TDFD) Meter Offering 135-dB Range and without Critical Filters
A TDFD meter which requires neither critical filter stages nor test signals, either from external sources or of high purity, is in beta production. Quadrature synchronous detectors, simple passive filters, and PLL-synthesizers give a measurement dynamic range of >135-dB or 0.15 ppm. The microprocessor displays TDFD, calculates THD, and shows odd- and even-order distortion fractions. The possibilities exist of locking-on to an external reference, allowing measurement of compact disc players, or of changing the test signal frequency by shifting the master reference. Large shifts will require canyon filters instead of notches.

You like a small desk calendar ... but didn't get one last year?
Do you know where to find one from earlier years, that wasn't thrown out?
Here's whatcha do.
Most such calendars have a small space where the company giving it puts their name. Cut a small piece of blank paper to fit into that space.
Write this year on the top left, with the names of the remaining months of this year under it. Get a large calendar of this year and write the day of the week on which the first falls beside the name of each of those months.
Look on the small calendar from the earlier year and find a month in which the first falls on that day and write the name of that month to the right the day of the week on which the first falls in the remaining months of this year.
You got your fix for the rest of this year.
And you can do it again next year, if you have a desk calendar that you like better than any that show up in subsequent years.
This I'd call a re-use ...
... but then, again, since there was some reprocessing required, I guess it actually becomes a recycling matter.
Whichever - it pretty well ends up the same.
And you have a desk calendar that you've been without for months.
Yeah - I know - all you have to do is ask your Smartphone. But what if it ain't to hand? What - you never let your Smartphone get that far away?
Ain't life a caution, though!
ole joyful
O.J. Do you lie awake at night thinking these things up? LOL. This younger generation is big into recycling but I don't think they would go through this much trouble. Come to think of it, I don't think they'd keep balls of string or tinfoil either. Remember when we did that?
Yeah. No.
I recycle old calendars by recycling them, not by hoarding them just in case they might be useful.
Paper calendars are really inexpensive after New Year's Day, and I have better things to do than re-label the months of an old one.
My neat, clean, household is much more valuable to me than storing "stuff" that "might one day" be of marginal value.
O.K. - so I shouldda offered it in January, before you'd thrown the old one out!
And I think that the issue of "frugality" hardly enters the picture, for both the large calendars and the small ones are free, originally ... but after the first month or so of the year, they're no longer available.
So if you didn't get one that you wanted, you have to buy one.
I didn't get a small one last year, and have one from about 2010 on the desk, altered/updated as indicated.
If such isn't your cup of tea - no one said that you might be under any obligation to follow the suggestion.
I have a similar zinger to offer today.
ole joyful
If you hang on to ... I think that it's about 13 of 'em (to allow for leap years) ...
... you'll never need a new one - just clap the name of the current year on whichever one has the proper Jan. 1.
Not a large package ... and one less thing to worry about.

bit off topic
grew up watching this, must have moved this paper twenty times, nice to read again. bit of a collector here....
God bless you Neil.
"During his next space trip in July 1969, Armstrong and fellow astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins blasted off in Apollo 11 on a nearly 250,000-mile journey to the moon that went down in the history books."
My dad woke me up to watch this. The nuclear family depicted on the ride "spaceship earth" watching the moon landing, part of Disney's Epcot ride Planet Earth....that was my family. I was seven.
Can you imagine the courage it takes to enter the spaceship for these journeys into space? OMG....the Challenger......that is TRUE courage.
Isn't it interesting how much time effort and money was poured into Apollo but when the Russians quit trying the entire effort went bust??
Runaway most interesting program going on now is the New Horizons which will go into orbit around the dwarf planet Pluto in 2015 and should provide pix of not only the Kuiper belt but the hypothetical Oort cloud. I met Clyde Tombaugh (discovered Pluto in 1930) and some of his ashes are actually in the craft.
Amazing that from the beginning of time to 1930 to discover 9 planets there are now well over 650!!
The solor system is at least 5 times bigger than thought during the moon landing!! Wouldn't even venture a guess as to the concept of the universe in say a hundred years .
almost everything known if not completely untrue was seriously flawed.!! Mind boggling stuff!!! gary

"Look out down from heaven, look at us!"
Isaiah 63:16
"Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come."
Mark 13:33
If we review the situation that the Jews were facing in Isaiah after the cruel exile experience, and the huge challenges that they had in front of them, we can easily understand their feeling overwhelmed. We, right now in the 21st century, are not living a life that is so different from the life they were living. Just like them, we have two options: just accept with resignation what is and live our lives accordingly by remembering the good old days; or we can seize this moment as a great opportunity to change our reality and our future from this uncertain and volatile present.
As a Christian community, we are entering in the season of Advent, or Small Lenten Season, as it used to be call by our ancestors in the faith. In our hands, we have the opportunity once again to be transforming ourselves as we transform the world!

It is apparent, I believe, that our world is in desperate need of transformation as we bear witness to the madness that our world is experiencing. War in some countries (Ukraine, etc.); devastation in other places (the global climate change that is compelling us); confrontations in many cities (Ferguson, etc.); the hellish reality in my home country (Mexico) with thousands of people missing and presumed dead, like the 43 students recently found; hate crimes; Ebola and a multitude of other kinds of diseases.
The reality of our complex world, of course, can overwhelm anyone, but I want us to consider the words of Gerhard Ebeling who wrote, "the most real of the real thing, is not the reality itself, but its possibilities." And as the dreamer that I am, and with our Christian and human grounding, we must focus our efforts on the possibilities that are calling for our commitment to transformation. I stand fast in believing that not everything is lost.
God needs our hands, our feet, our hearts, and our minds to bring about a transformation in this world. It is not enough just to pray about it. Rev. Troy Perry, our Founder, is right when he says: "Some prayers need our feet."

Now more than ever, we need to "be on guard!" with our eyes and hearts, paying attention to the future that we want to leave for the people who are coming after us. Thus, we must be mindful of the future we are leaving them, as it directly correlates to our decisions and our actions right now. We need to refuse the temptation to live in the routine of our safe lives. Advent calls us to risk it all.
The importance of this season, I believe, is not the observance of the season itself; the importance is the meaning and transformation that we can receive for our ministries, for our lives, for our churches, and for our communities.

What kind of Advent are you expecting, my siblings? How must we live the Advent Season among the many in our world who do not expect anything?
As Christians, we are not just preparing ourselves to celebrate the Christmas Season, as that can be a devastating goal for us this First Sunday of Advent; our commitment should be to expect and to help to establish the real Realm of God in the world, creating something completely different than the current reality.
Maybe we can refuse to celebrate the Advent, but we are not allowed to refuse to lend a helping hand to all people of this earth, to work hard to bring about the advent of a new world.
Let me conclude my reflection by adding my voice to my siblings in Mexico in their demand: VIVOS SE LOS LLEVARON, VIVOS LOS QUEREMOS (You took them alive from us, alive we want them back with us).
November 21, 2014 – Metropolitan Community Churches and the Global Justice Institute applaud U.S. President Barack Obama for making bold moves to reform the U.S. immigration system. Building on the immigrant reform actions of his nine predecessors, he announced changes that would permit children brought to the U.S. by their parents to remain indefinitely, expand the system of work permits, reduce barriers to higher education, and support family unification for certain bi-national families. These measures constitute a major step in the right direction.
While we applaud President Obama, we are reminded that these actions fall short of the comprehensive immigration reform we, along with all other fair-minded stakeholders, have been seeking for years. We must not leave LGBT families separated across borders, isolate and marginalize LGBT asylum seekers, or exclude any immigrant group from access to health care and social services. Money spent on border security would better serve immigrants' need for quality health care, education, affordable housing. Despite these shortcomings, the President's reforms constitute an expanded foundation upon which we must pursue greater freedoms.
We remind the President and Congress that immigrants are our sisters and brothers, neighbors, co-workers, friends, classmates, and fellow parishioners. They are contributors to healthy, vibrant communities. They are all children of God who deserve dignity, respect, and the freedom of opportunity that all other U.S. residents enjoy. Because executive actions by any President are temporary, we call on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation to ensure that all who desire a better life in the United States have a permanent and legal pathway toward that pursuit.
For more information on MCC/GJI's immigration reform principles, see our statement "No Stranger to God: A Call for Sensible Immigration Reform that Supports and Reunites Families"
One year ago, we marked the 25th Anniversary of World AIDS Day. Who among us is better off? PReP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) protocols are becoming more widely available each month. Activists and advocates the world over have endorsed this approach as a major milestone toward ending the HIV epidemic. Earlier this year, MCC issued a statement applauding the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for its approval of PReP. We knew that it was not the cure all for which we have prayed for decades. Combined with access to the basic necessities of life (food, clothing, shelter, and systems of love and support), PRep can and has helped many. But looking back over the past year, we remain challenged by the fact that, throughout the world, the faces of AIDS remain stubbornly brown, stubbornly poor, and alarmingly female and MSM (men who have sex with men). Scripture tells us that Jesus saw himself in those around him, particularly those in need {Matthew 25}. We must, too. They are us, and we are them. Medical advances continue, but they remain out of reach for far too many.
As a movement that is concerned with the holy integration of our sexuality and our spirituality, MCC holds to a positive spirituality concerning all bodies. Positive Spirituality is a spirituality that sees our sexuality as a part of our wholeness. Living into MCC's core values of Inclusion, Community, Spiritual Transformation, and Social Action means that no one can be left beyond the reach of our prayers, our loving embrace, and our activism.
We are called to do hard work. Loving those whom they say are unlovable. Touching the untouchable. Defending those who are defenseless. Medicine alone is not the answer. Global systems of domination and exploitation rob people with HIV from meaningful access to cutting edge anti-retroviral medications. They withhold housing, shelter, employment, family, love, and spiritual companionship. There is only one fight: OUR fight. The late United States Senator Paul Wellstone famously said, "We all do better when we ALL do better." MCC, we can continue to provide global leadership so that we ALL do better, everyone, everywhere.
Perhaps more than any other global religious movement, Metropolitan Community Churches knows that Faith Is Greater Than AIDS (Faith > AIDS). The first International AIDS Vigil of Prayer was held at MCC San Diego (USA) in 1986. This later evolved into World AIDS Day.
We invite you to join MCC worshipping bodies around the globe and take the following actions:
We are blessed to have so many other faith traditions join this work to ensure that all HIV+ persons have resources, medical care, housing, food, clothing, and family support. More will never be enough until HIV is eradicated. This work is not done.
This statement is a collaboration between the Public Policy Team of MCC, the Global Justice Institute, and the HIV/AIDS Advisory Council of MCC.
MCC is joining with human rights activists, LGBT Jamaicans, and people of faith from around the world for a day of global protest on Wednesday, 6 August 2014, in opposition to Jamaica's Anti-Buggery Law. The law has provided legal cover for extreme anti-LGBT violence throughout the country. The anti-LGBT movement in Jamaica has been highly effective in spreading hateful propaganda about the community. MCC joins activists from around the world in calling for a coordinated, global response in solidarity with LGBT people on the ground.
6 August is Jamaica's Independence Day, and we invite you to join us in calling for an end to violence and the legal system that enables it.
Jamaican Consulate Protests:
Our Day of Action will send a powerful message that the British-era colonial law has no place in any modern society. Dwayne Brown, the founder of Jamaica Anti-Homophobia Stand, said, "For too long, the government of Jamaica has failed to take decisive action to address the ongoing crisis of anti-LGBT violence. One important step is immediately repealing the buggery law, which has been used in various ways to terrorize the LGBT community." It will further support the legal challenges taking place in the Jamaican judicial system to eliminate the anti-buggery law, an effort led by MCC's Maurice Tomlinson.
Here's what you can do to join the movement:
"We Dare Not Confuse Sincere Prejudice with Sincere Religion"
MCC global moderator to witness signing of presidential executive orders with NO added exemptions
The Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson is the Moderator of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC), which has ministries in over 40 countries. Dr. Wilson was part of the first LGBT faith delegation to meet with U.S. White House staff in 1979, and she served as a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
The Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson has been invited to the White House to witness President Barack Obama sign two executive orders. The first will add sexual orientation and gender identity to the 1965 Lyndon Johnson executive order which banned discrimination based on race, religion, gender, or nationality in hiring by federal contractors. The second order adds gender identity to the list of protected classes of federal workers and was first signed by President Richard Nixon, who added disability and age. President Clinton added sexual orientation, and President Obama adds gender identity.
"We are thrilled that President Obama will sign executive orders to include sexual orientation and gender identity within Federal policies of non-discrimination. It is even more historic because no sweeping religious exemptions sponsored by conservatives will be added," said the Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, global moderator of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC).
"Using religious exemptions as a smokescreen for discrimination is the kind of persecution the First Amendment to the Constitution helps us to avoid," said Dr. Wilson. "Everyone loves religious liberty, but we dare not confuse sincere prejudice with sincere religion. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people know that exemption from the law is a dangerous by-product of religious bigotry, not religious liberty."
"MCC stands with all people of good will to support President Obama in this historic action," said Dr. Wilson. "It is a deep honor to represent Metropolitan Community Churches at the signing event. While these executive orders will add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected classes for federal contractors and workers, we will not rest until Congress passes the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) with no religious exemptions so all Americans will be hired and fired based on their work and integrity rather than their gender identity or whom they love."
"We know that conservatives will continue to market their prejudices under the guise of religious freedom, but we will not let their brand of judgmental Christianity be the only voice of faithful Christians that the public hears. We are LGBT and straight people of faith together who know that we are created in the image of God," said Dr. Wilson. "We categorically reject the disastrous religious dogma that God wants Christians to hate some people."
17 July 2014 -‐-‐-‐ Today, as Israel and Hamas took a brief recess from their 10 -‐day war, only to have that lull in fighting marred by the deaths of 4 Gaza children hit by missiles while playing on the beach near their homes; while violence claimed the lives of innocent civilians from the airport of Kabul to the streets of places like Syria and Iran, Iraq and Pakistan, someone shot an airplane out of the sky over Donetsk in the Ukraine, an already war-‐ravaged area of the globe. Fields with purple flowers became the unintended resting place of 295 people on their way from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. The flight manifest has yet to be released, but we know from our friends around the world that at least 5 AIDS activists on their way from points in Europe to the International AIDS Conference in Melbourne were among those lost.
At times like this, our hearts are broken for the families and friends, the allies and co -‐workers of all those lost to violence and the senseless tragedies it produces. While many on the airwaves debate who is responsible for the tragedies, I am drawn to the example of Jesus, who when pressed by the crowds of unrelenting needs around him for relief and healing and peace, would go off to a lonely place to pray.
And so, I ask all MCCers and people of faith to join me in prayer now.
O God,
We give you thanks for the gift of life,
and the chance you give to all of us
to live each day with a heart for compassion and care
and a spirit attuned to peace.
We mourn all our brothers and sisters lost
to violence and needless violence and tragedy today,
especially those on Malaysia Airlines flight 17
and those 4 little boys on the beach in Gaza Cit y.
Be with their families and friends left behind,
and help them to find some comfort in knowing that
they are at peace with you, and that
we will all one day be together again.
With a full heart, O God, we pray for
peace on this earth
and goodwill among a ll.
Regardless of our political persuasions or belief systems,
help us to renounce all violence and to seek to live
in a way that promotes the wellbeing of all your children.
Give us all the courage to follow in the footsteps of Jesus the Christ,
Prince of Peace, in whose name we pray. +Amen
The Rev. Elder Nancy Wilson, Moderator
Metropolitan Community Churches
When immigrants live in your land with you, you must not cheat them. Any immigrant who lives with you must be treated as if they were one of your citizens. You must love them as yourself, because you were immigrants in the land of Egypt; I am the Sovereign your God. –Leviticus 19:33-34 (CEB)
SOS: Save Our Children
The world is facing a humanitarian crisis along the border between the United States of America and Mexico. Over 50,000 young people have arrived in the U.S. seeking freedom from violence and oppression and opportunities for meaningful work and basic education. They are innocent children—our sons and daughters, cousins, sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews, God's children. They are crying out in need. The world must respond with favor, compassion, and resources. Indifference would be the most awful thing in the world.
Being compassionate requires us to examine the reasons families have in sending their vulnerable children to cross the border. A wave of violence has swept the central parts of Latin America, violence unseen in recent history. Children and their families are making the rational choice to seek shelter and refuge outside of their home countries and in the United States because the treachery of the journey and the uncertain fate awaiting them there pales in comparison to the known threats on their lives at home. They seek nothing more than a better life. As people of faith, we cannot idly sit by and let their struggles and their hopes be in vain.
Metropolitan Community Churches and the Global Justice Institute call on elected and appointed officials at all levels of government and society to provide safe harbor for these children. Housing them in anything less than stable homes is inhumane. Robbing them of educational opportunities, suitable food, fresh clothing, and connection with loved ones in the U.S. is unjust. We must not treat them like criminals. They are our children. They are the world's children. As such, they are gifts to be cherished. We invite faith leaders of every tradition to join us in this call for justice.
We call on governments from around the world to address the violence in Latin America that is driving migration. We call on the U.S. government to open our immigration system so that civil society can care for these children. The crisis highlights the need for comprehensive immigration reform and we call on the Congress to take that measure back up. Through the lens of compassion, let us see this crisis. Through the lens of faith, may be stand up and respond.

U.S. Supreme Court allows corporations to have religious freedom-opens the door to discrimination
The Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson is the Moderator of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC), which has ministries in over 40 countries. Dr. Wilson was part of the first LGBT faith delegation to meet with U.S. White House staff in 1979, and she served as a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
Today, the Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, global leader of Metropolitan Community Churches, condemned the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court on what is popularly known as the "Hobby Lobby" case. Dr. Wilson said, "The high court of the United States put all of our freedoms at risk today. Conservatives may now seek to deny a range of civil liberties and religion will be an excuse to discriminate."
"Although this decision impacts women and adds unnecessary steps to accessing reproductive health care, the scope of this decision could be much broader. We are deeply concerned that this decision could turn back the hands of time for generations. Religious dogma may now impact sexual minorities, religious minorities and historically oppressed racial groups. Any group that has been told to 'stay in your place' based on the Bible is a target again. We have worked for 45 years to claim civil liberties for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. This decision makes our work harder but we will not rest until justice comes for everyone!"
The MCC Statement of Faith on Women's Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice states in part:
[MCC] affirms that all people are entitled to the rights and resources that equip them to make their own decisions about their bodies, their sexuality, and their well-being, including the inalienable right of women to control their bodies. We call on all levels of government and civil society to honor and respect those rights. … It is not up to government, civil society, or organized religion to instruct them on what their choice should be. We honor that tradition by calling on all levels of government to ensure that all women have the right to choose their reproductive health care options and the means to exercise those options at their sole discretion.
For the full MCC Statement of Faith on Women's Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice, click here:
MCC has partnered with the Urban Coalition for HIV/AIDS Prevention Services (UCHAPS) to promote the USA's first-ever National HIV Testing Week. It begins Saturday, June 21 and runs through June 27. The theme is "Talk HIV, Test HIV, Treat HIV." The partnership seeks to increase how many people know their HIV status.
Culminating in National HIV Testing Day (Friday, June 27), the campaign encourages everyone, including churches, to reach out to health providers and community organizations to plan and expand events to raise awareness, provide testing, and offer supportive services that encourage people to get into care. Events and testing sites are being hosted around the nation, and they include government offices, doctor's offices, health clinics, bathhouses, bars, and chemical dependency treatment facilities, among others. Check out www.nhtwus.org to find a testing site near you or your church.
Here are some actions you can take to engage the campaign:
Knowing one's status is a crucial first step in getting people into systems of treatment and care. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Treatment Cascade analysis shows that the path to health and viral suppression starts with diagnosis. If we can get people tested, they will know their status. If they know their status, we can link them to systems of care. If we can link them to care, we can support them so that they stay in care. If we can get them to stay in care, we can support an appropriate antiretroviral therapy program. And if we can keep them on their medication and accessing other supportive services, we can keep them alive and thriving. It all starts with testing. As people of faith, we are called to do this work.

MCC Moderator Urges Southern Baptists to Stop Condemning God
SBC condemns transgender people and creates a climate of persecution and discrimination
The Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson is the Moderator of the Metropolitan Community Churches, which has ministries in over 40 countries. Dr. Wilson was part of the first LGBT faith delegation to meet with White House staff in 1979. She served as a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
The Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, global leader of Metropolitan Community Churches, spoke out today to urge Southern Baptists to learn about humanity rather than to pass resolutions that reject people based on their gender identity.
"Jesus said, 'judge not lest ye be judged,' but the Southern Baptist voting members ignore this core message of grace when they reject God's children who happen to be transgender," said the Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson. "The lives of transgender people are at stake. When a person's outer gender does not match their inner identity, it is almost impossible for them to lead a full and meaningful life. For over 45 years, MCChas provided a church home for all people who are rejected by their churches because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Now it's time for all churches, including the Southern Baptist Convention, to learn about the diversity of humanity as created by God. Stop condemning God for creating wonderfully diverse human beings who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer!"
"When churches reject transgender people, it contributes to a climate of rejection and condemnation,which leads to persecution and violence against transgender people," said Dr. Wilson. "In one study, 83% of transgender people reported suffering verbal attacks, half experienced job discrimination, and a third experienced physical attacks. Transgender women of color are literally hundreds of times more likely to experience violent attacks than the average person. Where are Southern Baptists when a child of God who is transgender is murdered?"
Founded in 1968, Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) has been at the vanguard of civil and human rights movements by addressing issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, economics, climate change, aging, and global human rights. MCC was the first to perform same gender marriages and has been on the forefront of the struggle towards marriage equality in the US and other countries worldwide.

If you're like us and are looking for the easiest way to burn calories and have fun at the same time, exercising in the water may be just the thing. Unlike your typical stationary bike or treadmill, when you perform exercises in a pool, your body pushes against the water, increasing resistance and ultimately burning more calories in the end. Water exercises are especially beneficial for overweight people, who are ready to get in shape, because the moves put less pressure on joints, making them safer to perform. Beginning October 26th, WD will feature a new water aerobic exercise move every Monday, Wednesday and Friday that will make a great addition to your aquatic workout routine.

Dear Hard Working Executive Mother:
Do you bring in business, bring home the bacon, and bring up happy children? Then bring it to the Executive Moms Society. We have created a professional moms group to promote diagonal networking among women from diverse disciplines who aspire to progress professionally and still be good moms.
Rather than being governed by play dates or a specific profession, this networking group will focus on making business connections and long lasting friendships, and providing enjoyable events tailored toward mothers. We alternate between lunch events with speakers on topics from child development to business development, as well as hosting breakfast and evening social events. Part of the mission of EMS is to give back to the community by helping various local charities.
Another goal of EMS is to allow us to celebrate our roles as mothers and professionals, and to also hold events where our children are invited and welcome. We need to support and mentor ourselves, and we need to start by interacting with each other. Tell your friends to "bring it," and we'll be one step closer to achieving all that we aspire to be!
Join millions of people on Eventbrite.

The rear door locks are controlled by separate relays (located in the lower left side of dash fuse box) and the body computer. The body computer sends a ground signal to the lock or unlock relay after the appropriate switch is pressed.

Officials from the City of Fredericksburg, Gillespie County and Texas Department of Transportation will host a community-wide cleanup day on Saturday, May 10.
Residents are encouraged to do some spring cleaning — whether it is in their yard, along their street or road or at their place of business.
Several area groups have recently adopted highway entrances into Fredericksburg and will be coordinating Adopt-A-Highway cleanup efforts on Saturday morning as well.
"We decided to make this more of a community cleanup effort," city management intern Matt Townsend said. "I think everyone takes pride in our community and there are different ways that they express that, but I feel that picking up trash is something that everyone can definitely get on board with."
"Prophecy Fulfilled" is the theme for the Fredericksburg Chorale's Spring Concert on Saturday, May 10, at St. Joseph's Halle.
Performances will be at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Under the direction of Mark Hierholzer, the concert will begin with a new work by Hierholzer, Genesis 5: A Prophecy.
The work presents the names in the genealogy included in Genesis 5 along with their translations from the Hebrew.
"From Adam to Noah a meaning is revealed, telling of a coming savior," Hierholzer said. "The work is set as 11 short dances and will include with the piano, a small instrumental ensemble, violin, flute, cello and bassoon."
He explained that "what follows is the fulfillment of the prophecy expressed in Christian liturgical texts, most notably, the mass."
The chorale will perform Schubert's Mass in G, a work he wrote when he was only 17 years old.

Gillespie County officials spoke out Monday about unhappiness with the state's recent closing of the Old San Antonio Road bridge over the Pedernales River.
The crossing, which is in a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) plan to replace five bridges, was moved to the front of the construction line because of structural issues putting public safety at risk.
In the meantime, motorists are detoured around the closure via Cain City Road and Luckenbach-Cain City Road.
Three of five piers on the bridge were found to be "undermined" by TxDOT divers who were working with the county to remove debris on its underside on a normal inspection cycle, according to Greg Malatek, district engineer for the Austin region.
At that point, "it was recommended that we close that particular bridge," Malatek said during the county commissioners' court meeting Monday at the courthouse.
Outdoor watering restrictions in the City of Fredericksburg will change effective tomorrow, Thursday, May 1.
City Manager Kent Myers announced the institution of "Stage 3" under recently adopted restrictions.
"When I say Stage 3, a lot of residents think that's twice a week watering. Stage 3 is actually once a week just like our current Stage 4," Director of Public Works and Utilities Clinton Bailey said.
Watering will be allowed on designated days only between 5-9 a.m. and 7-11 p.m., though customers may water on any day using a handheld hose with sprayer, bucket or drip irrigation during the designated times.
Weekend car washing in residential driveways will now be permitted, given that water is not wasted and washed down the street.
"That water cannot run down the street more than a certain distance," Bailey said. "We don't like it running in the street anyway if there is some way to channel that into your flower bed or yard."

'Bigger and better'
Doug Shaw, new rural ombudsman for the Texas Water Development Board, was in Fredericksburg last week to answer questions about his new position. – Standard-Radio Post/Ken Esten Cooke
By Ken Esten Cooke —
With about 1,000 people a day moving to Texas, water will remain the state's most challenging issue in the coming decades.
And many state lawmakers want to make sure the Lone Star State's rural areas have a seat at the table, as Texas decides what to do with the $2 billion State Water Implementation Fund for Texas (SWIFT) created last November when voters approved a transfer from the state's rainy day fund.
"I wanted to make sure Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston didn't dominate the fund," said Senator Troy Fraser, who ushered through much of the water legislation during the last session. "I want us [the state] to go to Bandera, and ask what does Bandera need in the way of water, and how we can assist you?"
Fraser and members of the Texas Water Development Board were at the Hill Country University Center in Fredericksburg last Wednesday to meet with regional and municipal water planners.
Thirteen galleries will be participating in the First Friday Art Walk Fredericksburg celebration on Friday, May 2.
The participating galleries will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will be offering special events, demonstrations, art talks, meet-and-greets with the artists, opening receptions and more.
For more information, visit the FFAWF website at www.FFAWF.com.
This month's schedule of events:
Agave Gallery, 208 East San Antonio, will feature an exhibit of photographic images by John Bennett and live music in the courtyard by Mike Childs.
Patrons are urged to visit the gallery throughout the day on Friday to see original art, meet the artists and enjoy wine and refreshments.
Artisans At Rocky Hill, 234 West Main, will host Kurtis Karr with his media pieces.

Saturday afternoon at Wildseed Farms, which hosted the fifth annual Hill Country Wine and Music Festival. More coverage of this event can be found on page C1 of the April 30, 2014 edition of the paper. Readers of the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post are invited to submit their 2014 wildflower photos (yes, cute kids are allowed) and we'll post them to our Facebook page. Some of the best pictures might even find their way into print. Send photos at the highest resolution possible as separate .jpg attachments to: firstname.lastname@example.com or drop off a copy at our office, 712 West Main Street. — Standard-Radio Post/Matt Ward

Just four days after one of their own was shot during a routine traffic stop, peace officers were honored by the 100 Club of Gillespie County.
The event, held last Wednesday at Pioneer Pavilion in Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park, was somber in the wake of the shooting and two high-profile deaths last year. But the ninth annual banquet provided a chance for lawmen and women and their families to relax in an informal setting.
"We extend our prayers to Fredericksburg Police Department officer Bradley Durst and his family," said 100 Club President Mike Carnes, "and pray for a speedy recovery."
The shooting was on everyone's mind as a reminder of the random violence faced by lawmen.
"We had a 'come together' situation last weekend," Department of Public Safety (DPS) Sgt. Todd Jennings told the crowd of 100 Club members and supporters. "This multi-agency family atmosphere is unbelievable."

The growing emphasis on energy-efficient building has led to an increase in the number of companies making infrared cameras. DeWalt recently introduced an imaging thermometer (DCT416S1) powered by the company's 12-volt Max batteries. It can read temperatures between 14°F and 480°F and stores standard and thermal images on a mini SD card. The screen is just over 2 inches across and can display visual and thermal images or a blended overlay of the two. It can also be set to highlight the hottest and coldest spots in the viewing range. The kit includes one battery, a charger, a hard case, a memory card, and software for creating reports.
Price: $1,000. 800-433-9258. www.dewalt.com.

Although we had been pleased with our stays in the past we were very unsatisfied with this stay. Problems such as housekeeping not cleaning the room, remodeling that we weren't aware of until we checked in (and we had called 2 times before our arrival), some kind of sewage issue that left an awful lingering odor the entire day as well as stopped up the toilet which took 5 hours to get a plunger for! Beds were EXTREMELY uncomfortable - pools weren't clean until the last day we were there and the hot tubs weren't working in either building the last day and night we were there and when they were the temperature in the hot tub was probably less than 95 degrees which made it pretty chilly with the cool breeze that was blowing. The morning of our check out we were brought to the door at 8:45 am by the maid wanting to clean our room! When She was told that we were trying to get packed up to check out she sat in the floor by her cart outside our door until we left! Very unprofessional especially when check-out is at 11 am!

Adaptive Algorithm for Mapping Channel Quality Information to Modulation and Coding Schemes
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In the present and future generation of wireless networks, link adaptation is used for better channel efficiency. With link adaptation the modulation and coding scheme used for transmissions to a particular user is adjusted based on the user's channel conditions. However, because of delays and measurement errors in the reported channel quality information, the actual transmission may experience a significantly different channel than anticipated. This can either lead to transmission errors (if the channel has deteriorated) or wasted transmission resources (if the channel is actually better than predicted).
