This is Photojournalist Fred G. Haseney with his eye on scientology. Today, I'm reporting from the Pacific Area Command Base ("PAC Base" or "Big Blue"), the so-called "church" of scientology's West Coast headquarters. I'm also reporting from Scientology Media Productions ("SMP"), located at 4401 W. Sunset Blvd., about ten blocks east of PAC Base.
Photo Caption: On a street light pole across from SMP, I found a sign protesting scientology. In the photo, I'm referring to the white piece of paper.
Photo Caption: Here's a close-up of that sign.
Photo Caption: Here's a close-up of that sign, closer still.
Photo Caption: The top portion of the sign reads (I've filled in on the grammar): Theft, May 30, 8:00 AM (near Jon's market), item stolen: Lots of art by Joyce (very personal pictures); extra large brown faded suitcase; small suitcase with red and black straps; a real fox collar, black, large; one cheap imitation cheetah fur coat; $5 leather coats (yellow, red, grey, two black, from Hollywood and Western); mostly size "6" clothing and shoes; Rhinestone jewelry [here she drew a picture of a crown]; Rhinestone shoes, black and gold western-style; imitation leather boots…
Photo Caption: The middle portion of the sign reads (continuing): … imitation swede boots (orangish); many Jon's and Albertson's [supermarket] bags with items purchased. Other pertinent info: Scientology is doing an illegal con. They claim to worship the violent Fake Lord Buddha. Scientology says, "Federal" doesn't like them and the Jews do not want their people going there (indicating synagogue).They get people in on the pretense of self-improvement, then do amateur hypnosis, try to get people out of Christians to worse [she may have meant, "to get people out of Christianity, only to get worse"].
Photo Caption: The bottom portion of the sign reads (continuing): … They have coned [I think she means "conned"] all over Vermont Ave., by coincidence, the Old Hypno building is down the street on Vermont. Scientology is involved in major robbery, taking illegal confessions, getting people's personal and bank information, did robbery of credit cards and unions. [unreadable] grocery stores, used clothing including Goodwill, pawn shops, beauty supply, McDonald's, Burger King, $5 Leather.
I need to point out that I know Joyce, who used to live in the Franklin House (a house owned by a scientologist and rented to scientologists), located near the intersection of Franklin and Vermont Avenues, in the Los Feliz District of Los Angeles. That is, until she found herself evicted and soon living on the streets. I've known Joyce for years because of our association with scientology. She's an intelligent, rather cultured and somewhat attractive, petite, blonde-haired lady. While her writings ramble a bit and may not seem completely coherent at times, I can understand where she's coming from: living on the streets is not fun. Joyce has seen better days, and may good days return her way.
Photo Caption: Dear PAC Base: Where's your "All Are Welcome" sign? Have you changed your mind? Respectfully, The City You Hate.
Photo Caption: While Joyce searches in vain for her belongings and justice, three Sea Org members arrive at PAC Base, coffee in hand. Notice that they're all walking in step.
Of course, this brings to mind scientology's toxic practice of disconnection. Are any of these women someone you know? Is one of them your daughter? An ex-wife? Your mother, aunt or sister? Perhaps an ex-boss or ex-coworker? Have you spoken out against that "church," only to lose your loved one, co-worker or friend to scientology forever? Thank goodness ex-scientologists Phil and Willie Jones came along with a message of love for their adult children still trapped in scientology: "To my loved in scientology… call me."
Photo Caption: Those three Sea Org members just passed the intersection of Sunset Blvd. and Vermont Ave., where, behind this wall, another protest against scientology lies hidden. Notice the red arrow.
Photo Caption: In the flower bed as pointed out by the red arrow in the last photo, lies trash including (from left-to-right): a "free" Oxford Capacity Analysis Personality Test ticket and an unopened dianetics DVD The green container once held medical marijuana.
Photo Caption: This is a close-up of what a citizen thinks of dianetics and scientology. Here here!
Epilogue: Shortly after finding Joyce's protest sign, I ran into her. After the theft of her possessions, she's taken to pushing a shopping cart with what little she has left.
Before I escaped scientology in 2014, and while I still drank their kool-aid, I saw Joyce, day-after-day, on the streets. One day in an effort to "help" her, I suggested that she go to a scientology org and ask for help, not knowing that her association with that so-called "church" may ended with her eviction. Joyce, of course, took offense at my suggestion. From that day forward, she refused to accept any more "help" from me. Only after leaving scientology for good did I realize that what Joyce had said about scientology is true, and I told her so. Even then, she didn't warm up to me although the help I've been carrying has been in the form of business cards that offer transitional housing, a food pantry and a soup kitchen in the neighborhood.
When I saw her today, I said that I had read her sign and handed her a few dollars. As usual, she said that she couldn't accept my help. As I handed her the money, I asked her to make believe that someone else had given it to her… please… and she did.

We are uniquely ourselves and a little bit different from all the rest
Lavans is unusual. Visiting their website or talking to their employees, it's immediately evident. And that is unique in the laundry sector. Almost 90 years in the business – today with 200 employees. A family business, and you can't help but notice it. From Toos and Leo Heerkens born 1928 to nephews Michel and Piet Heerkens who now head up this innovative laundry. And it's also evident from their second place standing in the Global Best Practice competition. The jury was particularly impressed by the Lavans' policy – sustainable and financially robust – that involves investing generously in times of crisis. And it has borne fruit, because yet again Lavans is outgrowing its premises. Plans for a spacious annex have been made.
To maintain its lead when it comes to innovation and engineering, Lavans has called on WSP Systems. For years, WSP has been the preferred supplier of bag rail systems, and other systems that make the processes in the laundry as efficient and effective as possible. For the new building, too, WSP has been involved from the start, advising on internal logistics, the best systems and the best solutions.

Scripts work, not stars: Remo D'Souza
Director-choreographer Remo D'Souza feels movies with good scripts, made with a good mix of drama and emotion, work over those which boast of star-studded castsbollywood Updated: Jun 09, 2013, 00:42 IST
Director-choreographer Remo D'Souza feels lucky that he is part of the Hindi film industry at a time when movies with good script, made with a good mix of drama and emotion, work over those which boast of star-studded casts.
"I think the audience has changed. This is the best time for the industry. Right now the script works, not the stars. If your script is strong, it will work," Remo said.
If he made his directorial debut F.A.L.T.U with actors like Jackky Bhagnani, Puja Gupta, Arshad Warsi and Ritesh Deshmukh, his second project, ABCD: Any Body Can Dance, saw talent from TV dance reality shows sharing screen space with established dancers like Prabhu deva and Ganesh Acharya. "ABCD... worked as "it had a story as well as emotions with dance," said Remo.
Both his movies are "youth-centric", he said, adding, "They had drama also. F.A.L.T.U. had drama around a family, and ABCD.... dealt with the guru-shishya relationship and parents who didn't allow their children to dance. With youth, I keep drama and emotion together."
Remo has choreographed for reality shows as well as for films, and he says there's a huge difference between the two. "For film, it is not only about choreographing, it is about overall look and technicality. On stage, it is a one-time performance," he said.

About Chakrata
This kennel began in 1975 with Basset Hounds and in 1986, Pointers were introduced. Whippets are now the main breed at Chakrata having been an important part of the kennel since 1996.
CHAKRATA continues with a kennel of Whippets. The Basset Hounds have all now passed on, but the memory remains. Recently we re-introduced a Pointer, bred down from the world famous Crookrise Pointers, a line we very much valued as the main strength in our original breeding line.
The kennel is situated at
I am licenced to judge Toys, Terriers, Gundogs, Hounds and Working Dogs, and am training to judge Non-Sporting and Utility dogs.
Judging takes a lot of my time but there is still some left over to browse antique and collectible shops seeking new artifacts to add to my collection.
I trust you enjoy your tour of CHAKRATA and again, I am delighted you have chosen to do so.

In this time of fear, unknown, and concern, as our community rituals and practices are being radically changed in order that we can aid in leveling the curve of the COVID-19 spread, questions are stirring around communion and if and how we can share communion without gathering physically together as God's people. These questions are to be expected, as for many of us Holy Communion is a gift of comfort, strength, and promise that we long for, that we are eager to receive each week. So what do we believe? And how will we as God's people at Christ the King Lutheran Church live into these beliefs?
In one of our church's guiding documents, "The Use of the Means of Grace" we read: The gathered people of God celebrate the sacrament. Holy Communion,usually celebrated within a congregation, also may be celebrated in synodical , churchwide, and other settings where the baptized gather. (Principle 39 in "The Use of the Means of Grace) In this principle we understand that God works in, with, and through community, and that this gift of Holy Communion is intended to be celebrated and received when the gathered community is gathered together in a bodily way. This "bodily" gathering is fairly simple in most of our lives, but sometimes the circumstances of life make that gathering less optimal. For some as they age or are battling a significant illness, gathering for worship is not wise – so the church, after gathering together in worship on Sundays (typically) sends out this meal and promise to the church beyond the walls of the building. One person extending the experience of the gathered church, and the gifts of God to those who are unable to gather alongside
In our current situation, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the call for social distancing, we are not able to gather physically as the church, and then bring communion out to others. In light of this reality, and at the recommendation of our synodical and churchwide bishops, we will not be celebrating holy communion while we are unable to gather together. Some people have said, "Well, if we get close enough to the screen and have our own bread and wine, that should work." or "If you do the communion liturgy and we all watch it, then we can do "drive thru" communion and you can pass the elements to use through our car windows." For me, from my understanding of God's gift and the recommendation of other leaders in the church, I do not believe that either of these (or other) patterns of receiving the gift of holy communion are faithful NOW. Receiving the gift of Holy Communion calls us as a body to gather together – literally, physically, bodily. Holy Communion is not magic, but it is God in Jesus working in and through the earthly elements, as we, God's earthly people gather together.
As I continue to wrestle, seeking to find words to express our Lutheran theological and practical understanding of Holy Communion and my own belief, I offer two other theologians who for me, are often able to articulate holy mysteries in ways that calm my anxious heart.
First, from The Rev. Dr. Gordon Lathrop, an ELCA pastor and retired professor of Liturgy, in response to a request from the Chair of the Conference of Bishops to offer some wisdom and insight surrounding Holy Communion, COVID-19 and social distancing. He writes, "I want us to remember that Luther argued that when the Gospel-book is read and preached, we should know that Christ is here, coming to us or we being brought to him, present in the reading and preaching, doing to us now what the text says he did then: forgiving us, healing us, raising us from the dead: "If you pause here and let him do you good, that is, if you believe that he benefits and helps you, then you really have it. Then Christ is yours, presented to you as a gift."…So, in this time we may just cling to the sacramental word. Then, in a healthier time, we can carefully rebuild that wonderful Sunday eucharistic-frequency that has been built up so lovingly among us."
The second is a more personal and closer theologian, mentor, and one of my greatest friends (and one of Kai's godmothers), The Rev. Julie Martin Hutson who serves at Luther Memorial Church in Seattle, WA. On her blog yesterday she expressed much of what is being questioned, discussed, or raised, and with a pastoral heart that we so need to hear, shared our beliefs and practices, and how we continue to receive the fullness of Christ as we gather in new ways during this time. Click here to read her blog post entitled, "The Absence of the Body."
We are God's people today, just as we were when we were last physically together – and God's promise still holds true. As we take the next step in this walk of faith, without knowing exactly where we are going – please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions, concerns, or desire conversation and prayer.
In Hope and Faith,
+ Pastor Kim
For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.

In this time of fear, unknown, and concern, as our community rituals and practices are being radically changed in order that we can aid in leveling the curve of the COVID-19 spread, questions are stirring around communion and if and how we can share communion without gathering physically together as God's people. These questions are to be expected, as for many of us Holy Communion is a gift of comfort, strength, and promise that we long for, that we are eager to receive each week. So what do we believe? And how will we as God's people at Christ the King Lutheran Church live into these beliefs?
This past Sunday, worship was, well…hard. Let's own that fact from the start. There was a lot of action, commotion, and noise from the children's space that was distracting and disruptive. I could see from the front of the sanctuary that it was difficult for some to fully engage in worship, and as your pastor I can tell you I was NOT in a space of fully engaging in worship. This past Sunday, worship was hard.
From the start, as a mother of one of the vocal and moving little ones in the space on Sunday, I was struggling. Without too much detail we have been looking for a person to hire to be with our son in worship – as that is central and essential to us as parents – but so far finding someone who will be open to being at one of two churches for several hours a week has proven hard. We are still looking. That said, I personally, as a mother, apologize for his behavior/responses on Sunday. It was hard.
But as your pastor it was hard on another level. It was hard because since beginning the experience of having this designated space that is up front and open – so our youngest can see, engage, and come to learn our worship patterns and practices – it has not been a piece of cake. When Worship & Music sought to create this experience, we didn't anticipate it being easy. We knew there would be bumps, some adjusting, and some just rough moments. We knew there would be some who were opposed to this space – as "children should be seen and not heard" is still an ethos that is alive for some. We knew there would be some who celebrated an "openness" that they feel should be created. We also knew that there would be many in-between those extremes. And this has proven true.
We have been surveying formally via https://tinyurl.com/childrensspace and we invite you to share thoughts there through Friday, September 6th. So far what I can tell you is that for the most part the responses convey the diversity of experience and thought, yet an openness to trying to figure out how to create a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone – children included. This is what we as the Worship & Music team were expecting would come out of this experience.
That said as pastor I have been reflecting since we created this space about HOW we have opened this space and supported it. A few observations I have made are:
- We had intentions of gathering parents and families shortly after creating the space to talk about boundaries, engagement, etc…and we didn't. This was a drop on our part, mostly due to the fullness of summer, but a drop none-the-less. This time would have provided space to further articulate to parents our desire to have their children fully present in worship, at their level; how this isn't a "play" space (although there are manipulatives to engage/play with); and what the parent's role in supervision is, and knowing when to remove a child from the space, take a break from the space for a few weeks, etc. We intend for this gathering to happen soon.
- We also had thoughts of inviting a handful of folks who don't have kids to volunteer to be "Pew Grandparents" – meaning they would sit nearby and if the parents look like they need a break or the kids were getting a bit overly loud, etc…they would step in to help calm the situation and redirect. This has not yet been engaged but it is still on the horizon – as we believe that we as a community (and individuals) make commitments to raise our children up in worship when they are baptized and we need to figure out how to do that best for today.
- As a congregation our life and ministry is centered around worship. For some people worship is a space of solemnity, of reflection, of peace. For some people worship is a time of celebration, rejoicing, and connection. While for others worship is a space of healing, a space of wrestling, or a space of belonging. I would venture to say that all of these are true for all of us, at one point in our lives of faith or another. The question we must wrestle with always is how do we open up the space so that all can enter in where they are in their live of faith. Like most of life it can't be an either or, but will be a both/and. There will be times when worship opens up into a space of peace and solemnity, and other times celebration and joy, and most often times a solid mix of both. There will also be times, like last Sunday, when it just goes off the rails and we do our best to bring it back to center where God's grace and love find us every day – feeding us in word and sacrament, forgiveness and new life.
- I think we as a congregation need to wrestle with what it means to be a truly welcoming and inclusive community; and how we live that out. Truly welcoming and inclusive doesn't mean anything goes, but it does mean that there are times when our individual and communal expectations will not be met, we may be inconvenienced, or we may be pushed to grow in a way we hadn't anticipated. This is hard work that we need to do together and it includes more than this "children's space", but it does include a full welcoming of children and all that comes with that. It is also a work that is never finished…but rather is a process.
As we move forward as a congregation, asking God to lead us as we grow as people of faith individually and together, we must do so from a space of respect, hopefulness, faithfulness, and openness to new ways of being church together – ways that honor the past, are rooted in the present, and look into the future. It's not easy work – and we have work to do – but we know we don't go it alone.
Finally, please remember that my door is ALWAYS open to hearing concerns, frustrations, joys, celebrations, ideas, and what if's – email, call or simply stop in. If we can't talk together, we've got a lot more work to do.
Friends, we proclaim to the world in our Mission Statement and Core Values that:
We celebrate and joyfully share Christ's love as we grow in faith and serve all. Centered in Christ, we are:
Welcoming: We respect and affirm all people as children of God.
Caring: We have compassion for all.
Encouraging: We support one another in our faith journeys.
Our call now, is to discern together how to live into this, in and through the grace of God.
We are excited at Christ the King to explore a new pattern for faith formation (education) called: CtK Grows. This new pattern affirms the importance for all of us – no matter the age – continue growing and learning in faith. Through this pattern as well we recognize the importance of all of us to be in worship and not to have worship and faith formation compete. Finally we acknowledge that our world is a busy place and schedules get complicated.
In order to live into these three things we have created a 6X3 pattern where we will gather for 6 Sunday evenings, 3 different times during the year (Fall/Winter/Spring.) During this time there will be intentional space for fellowship and group connection time, we will provide a meal (no cooking for 6 weeks – who doesn't love that?!), and then class time.
During the class time there will be an overarching theme and Biblical text/story for ALL ages (with two modifications for Confirmation and the 2nd Adult Bible Study). There is truly a class for EVERYONE!
So I invite you and your family to mark your calendars for the start of the Fall CtK Grows – September 15th at 4:30pm. We will gather in the Fellowship Hall for fellowship and meal, and then we will disperse to the classes following dinner. Why not bring a friend? Anyone and everyone one is invited – those who love Bible study, those who are afraid of Bible study, those who are looking for a greater connection, those who have questions that they want to wrestle with…truly everyone!

Living in the now, to me, means living in a way that is open to interruptibility, that is open to the movement of the spirit while making the best use of the time we have been given. Living in the now is recognizing that time is limited and time is a gift from God. Yesterday in worship I shared a poem by Wendell Barry entitled "Vacation." In this poem he shares the experience of a vacation from a person trying so hard to capture the vacation on camera that he truly missed experiencing, living, and receiving the vacation for himself. We do that so often in life trying to track, schedule, and stay ahead of the game that we miss the now, we miss the unfolding as it unfolds. Yet the gift of time we have been given has been given to us to enter into, to experience, to enjoy…to live.
Here are some thoughts that I scribbled out this morning as I was reflecting on our time in worship yesterday, the passage from Matthew 6:25-34 and my sermon.
Today I seek to live in the now:
to recognize each moment as a gift from God;
to keep my heart and ears open to times when the Spirit whispers a different plan;
to take notice of the people around me and value the gift that we are to each other;
to see my neighbors and strangers as people, and to offer love, care, and support when needed;
to not take myself too seriously, to laugh and chuckle at the quirks of our world;
to notice the life sprouting all around in the young children, in the flowers, in the crops growing;
to notice life closing in others and giving thanks for their story and their gifts to our world;
to enter into intentional time with God to listen for God's voice, to feel God's movement, to rest in the silence.
Today I seek to live in the now.
How are you living in the now today?
How are you celebrating the time God has given you today?
Share your thoughts/reflections below.
Tomorrow – Sunday, July 14th – we at Christ the King Lutheran Church begin a 4-week sermon series entitled, "Receiving From God: The Gift of Time." We are doing this as part of our stewardship trimester focusing on the gift of time. Time is something we all wrestle with – to one degree or another. * Do I have time to do this?
* Is there time to fit that in?
* Can I spare an hour to help out here?
* Why can't I get just 15 minutes to catch a nap?
Truly, when in your life has this not been a wonder or a concern?
Over these four weeks we will begin with the gift we are given in time, then how we live into the time we have now, and closing up with two weeks diving deep into Sabbath and the gift that call is from God. We will complete this series with a launch into our first Congregational Sabbath. You will receive a letter in the next week or so detailing more specifically what this Congregational Sabbath is and why we are taking it now. During this Congregational Sabbath time we as a congregation will NOT meet for business or meetings – unless they are absolutely necessary. We will not have a council meeting, we will not have committee meetings (Chapel School is an exception as the school year is about to begin anew). We will also engage in some intentional time for fellowship and worship – with an added Wednesday evening BBQ and communion service (starting this week!), regular Sunday morning worship at 9:30, and a congregational camp out and outdoor worship (check bulletin for information to reserve a space today.) There will be weekly reflections and devotions that tie into the call to Sabbath, rest, and good stewardship of our gift of time – right here on this blog (and linked to FB.) And we will encourage all to take a break, take a breather, and reconnect with family, friends, and rest.
I invite you over the next four weeks to wrestle with the gift of time we are given, the call to be good stewards of that time, and what that means for how we live our lives in the world.
~ Pastor Kim
"Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!" – Joyce Meyer
I never went to an official "summer camp" growing up. We did VBS, youth group mission trips, softball tournaments, and a lot of time with grandmothers on the Allegheny River in NW PA and on the beach in Queens, NY. And truly most people in my neighborhood didn't go to summer camp (with the exception of Girl Scout/Boy Scout Camp) because well, we just couldn't afford it. Our summers were still amazing – endless night games of hide-n-seek in our court, curb-ball, baseball, Friday late night at the neighborhood pool, etc…
So it wasn't until I was in college that summer camp appeared on my horizon. I was studying to be a teacher and a lot of folks were applying to be camp counselors and I thought, "Well that will be more fun than my usual cashier at McDonald's gig" so I applied and worked for one summer at a Lutheran Camp in central PA and two summers at a Lutheran camp in Northern VA. These three summers were pivotal in my formation and my faith.
As I prepare to head off to serve as chaplain (alongside my husband) at Week 2 of Family Camp at Camp Calumet (an ELCA camp here in NH) I am pondering why those three summers were so transformative for me. Yeah, there was a work ethic instilled – you just pull together to get the job done and done well. But there was more. There was a foundation of community, a fertilizing of seeds of faith planted earlier in my life, and there was a new sense that God was much, much bigger than I ever imagined. My time at camp changed my life and I believe changed the direction of my life.
Which brings me to ask…have you been to camp? What are your experiences from your time at camp? If you haven't been, have you ever thought about it? How can we as a community help you to experience camp and what God can stir in the midst of your experience there?
During the next week please hold me and my family in prayer, along with the whole staff and community that is Calumet Lutheran Camp and Conference Center; and watch CtK's Facebook page for pictures and reflections from the week, or check out Calumet's Facebook page for pictures and updates from camp itself! I am thankful for this community's openness and connection with Calumet that enables me to live this fuller call in the church at camp!
OH, and why not check out the schedule and see if there is something coming up for you, your kids, or your family?! There are things happening all year long…take a peek, you won't be disappointed…and indeed you may be changed for life!
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs." (Matthew 19:14)
Many pastors hear repeatedly, "Pastor, what do we need to do to 'attract' the young families to our church?" It is a question that comes from a place of love, but it is a question that begins in the wrong place. As a church we are not called to "attract" anyone; yes we need to be intentional about our language, our welcome, our programming, etc…but intentional in a way that is authentic to who we are and not another advertising gimmick that, in a world with too many advertising gimmicks. We need to ensure that all we say and do is reflective of the one we follow and the call that has claimed our lives.
Where do we start? Well, let's start with Jesus. Jesus said to let the little children come to him. Jesus implored us to not put up walls, barriers, and hurdles that keep the kids at bay. Jesus certainly never called us to "keep the children quiet, and still." No Jesus says, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them…" I would go further and say that this is a call we have for our life with ALL people – let them come, do not stop them.
So, when they come, what are we supposed to do then? Simply put, welcome and invite them in even further. Create a space for them. Not a space to make them look like us, and do what we do, but rather open a space where they can be who God has created them to be. At Christ the King Lutheran Church we are beginning to open up space to live more fully into this call to let them come. Starting this Sunday there is a new "Children's Space" in the front of the sanctuary that invites children in, welcomes them into God's house, and implores them to be who God has created them to be. There are tables and chairs of a "kid's height," there are quiet manipulatives, there are coloring, drawing, and writing opportunities, there are Bibles, there are books….and there's a space for parents to be right beside them, but also giving them space to be.
I invite all to come and explore this space in the coming weeks. Pray for this opening. Pray for our families and the CtK community as we grow into this new space. There are bound to be a few extra giggles, wiggles, and times when our kids are feeling out the space completely; but amidst those times the gift we are providing and the call we are living into – to let the little children come to Jesus – well it will be more than worth the bumps. It will be worth it when God's children are learning worship patterns and traditions. It will be worth it when we hear God's children singing the songs from our worship time together. It will be worth it when God's children are sitting engrossed as they see worship unfold and more, before them, in fact in their midst. It will be worth it when God's children and their families note the welcome and invitation into this community and life of faith we share.
You may have seen these two lines appear on various Facebook posts about worship, fellowship, or other events that we have going on at Christ the King. These are two lines that resonate with me and with the church we are called to be. And Christ the King is very welcoming to all who come through the doors of our faith community – especially with the ignition of the Welcoming Team during the interim transition.
My question as we continue to live into the All Are Welcome! line is: but how do they come here to begin with? This is a question I have been asking of various leaders and teams, and it is a question I am asking in one-on-one conversations with you. I have learned that people are invited a lot by word of mouth, that we have paid some attention to the website (although that is an ever evolving and growing doorway), and we have engaged Facebook. All of this is good, and all of this I give thanks for. We are sharing our faith with others as it comes naturally.
Yet there is still more work to be done. In the next several months we will be doing some "new" things to begin to step further into our call to welcome and invite others into the Gospel that has claimed our lives. We aren't going door-to-door handing out pamphlets, but we will be sharing the love that we have found (and that has found us) in the CtK and greater Nashua community, as well as inviting others to "come and see" for themselves.
For instance, on June 29th you will see CtK folks walking in the 2nd Annual Nashua Pride Festival and hosting a welcome booth (in addition to being a sponsor.) This is taking the next step in our call as an RIC congregation – going out into the community and inviting people into a safe space that is welcoming, affirming, and celebrating who God has created all God's people to be! This is good work, and we need to celebrate that.
Additionally beginning on June 30th we will be exploring a new pattern in our worship space that seeks to be more inclusive and welcoming of young children and their families. More information is coming that includes some thoughts for young families, and thoughts "for the rest of us" as we enter into this new pattern. It won't be easy and there are bound to be a few bumps in the process but we think that this pattern will help us more faithfully live into the call to raise up our children in the faith, and to indeed welcome all – especially the wiggly and giggly among us.
So dear siblings in Christ, buckle up and keep your eyes on what is unfolding before us as God calls us further into the call to proclaim and live: All are welcome! All are invited!

Crohn's Disease
Crohn's Disease
Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory disease of the intestinal tract. The cause of Crohn's Disease is not yet known although scientists and researchers believe that it is probably related to an immune phenomenon. Unlike Ulcerative Colitis which only involves the mucous membrane lining of the large intestine, Crohn's Disease can involve all the layers of the intestinal tract any place between the mouth and the anus.
Crohn's Disease usually occurs in one of four anatomic patterns. The Ileocolic pattern affects approximately 50% of patients with Crohn's Disease. This pattern involves disease in the last few inches of the small intestine and the cecum, the first part of the large intestine. Approximately 25% of patients with Crohn's Disease have involvement of only the small intestine. An equal number of patients have disease that affects only the large intestine. A very small group of patients (1-3%) present with Crohn's Disease that only involves the anal canal.
Symptoms of Crohn's disease include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea with or without blood, fever, and weight loss. Patients with anal Crohn's usually present with complicated fistulas, fissures and hemorrhoids.
The initial treatment of Crohn's Disease is always with medicines and diet. Complications of Crohn's Disease include intestinal obstruction, internal and external fistulas, abscess formation and failure to respond properly to medicines (intractability). When these complications occur surgery can sometimes be very helpful. Over the years many new procedures have been developed that preserve the intestine and the sphincter, thereby avoiding the need for colostomy or ileostomy. The Cleveland Clinic is one of the foremost institutions for treating Crohn's Disease in the world. During his Fellowship training in Colon and Rectal Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Worsey had an extensive experience in the surgical management of Crohn's Disease under the guidance of Dr. Victor W. Fazio and Dr. Ian C. Lavery.

Five ways to wellbeing
Five simple actions can help you build on your strengths and increase your resilience to what life throws your way.
What are the five ways to wellbeing?
The 'five ways to wellbeing' are a proven way of boosting your mental health and wellbeing. Developed through research, these simple actions can be taken by anyone.
Connect with other people
Family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. At home, work, school or in your local community.
Think of these as the cornerstones of your life and invest time in developing them.
Building these connections will support and enrich you every day.
Keep learning
Try something new: rediscover an old interest; sign up for a course; take on new responsibilities; find a hobby.
Learning new things is fun, and can make you feel more confident.
Be active
Go for a walk or run. Step outside. Cycle. Play a game. Do some gardening. Dance.
Moving makes you feel good. Find something you enjoy and that suits your lifestyle.
Visit our Moving pages for some ideas.
Take notice
Be curious.
Savour the small moments in your life, whether when walking to work, eating a meal or talking to friends.
Reflecting on the world around you and how you are feeling will really help you appreciate what matters to you.
Give to others
Do something nice for a friend, or a stranger. Thank someone. Smile. Volunteer your time. Join a community group.
Seeing yourself, and your happiness, as linked to the wider community can be incredibly rewarding and help you create deeper connections with the people around you.
Read the evidence
The five ways to wellbeing were developed by experts at the New Economics Foundation.
Their report explains why and how they did this.
Pleasure or happiness?
To understand how to feel your best, we first need to unpick two distinctive states – pleasure and happiness.
Most of us think that the key to happiness is maximizing our personal pleasure and minimising pain. But there is a difference between pleasure and happiness. Pleasure does not necessarily lead to happiness.
Pleasure is always temporary. It is can be experienced through consuming things such as eating food or buying clothes or the latest gadgets. The problem is, when our consumption of it is over, the pleasure immediately disappears. When the sensation dies, the impulse comes into the brain, "Give me more pleasure!" but when we can't get more, we are left where we started.
Happiness is a deeper and more rewarding state.
The difference between happiness and pleasure is that we can act directly in order to achieve instant pleasure but happiness can only be experienced as a by-product of living skilfully.
If we want to be happy, we have to live life well, and we need to act right - 5 ways to wellbeing are the evidenced based actions that lead to happiness.

Johannesburg - The African National Congress is insisting that it will meet its economic goals for the year 2030 despite the economic decline, its head of policy Jeff Radebe said on Saturday.
The National Development Plan is a government plan to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality by 2030.
Radebe was briefing the media on the implementation of the NDP which will form part of discussions at the policy conference this week.
He presented a watered down recommendation from the policy committee which will be presented to the delegates at the policy conference.
The economic downturn and radical economic transformation as well as land reform will play centre stage during policy discussions.
Radebe reiterated that the ANC was committed to ensuring that it obtains its objectives of the NDP.
"We do not live in isolation. There are conditions that are out of our control, especially in the economy with the global downturn and also our own subjective situation in South Africa has given rise to this negative economic growth currently, but we are committed of ensuring that we obtain our objectives of the NDP."
In defence of the NDP, he said journalists should remember that the NDP is not plan of government but rather a plan approved by Parliament and in essence by the people of the country.
He added that the private sector which controls 70% of the economy also has a duty in the implementation of the NDP.
The ANC's own alliance partners, the SACP as well as Cosatu have raised concern over the NDP. Radebe skirted around questions surrounding statements by alliance partners on the NDP.
Cosatu has often said that the NDP fails to make the radical economic shift needed to tackle unemployment, inequality and poverty, and threatens to reverse some advances made.
South African Communist Party deputy general secretary Jeremy Cronin has been quoted saying that there were flaws within the NDP.
Key outcomes
Radebe, however, said while Cosatu had reservations on the NDP centred around the economic section, he believed that the parties alliance partners had not rejected it.
"I can't speak for them but my perception is that they have not rejected the NDP. I cannot speak on the SACP but its common cause that the general secretary [Blade Nzimande] is a member of Cabinet so are top officials of the SACP which just demonstrates to you [they] are implementing the NDP in terms of the medium term strategies and frame work."
The NDP's 2030 vision says that 11 million jobs should be created.
Increasing gross domestic product (GDP) growth to 5% over the next five years (2022) is one of the key economic targets of the 2014 - 2019 Medium-Term Strategic Framework.
The framework, which lists 14 key outcomes and associated activities and targets which would serve as a prioritisation framework for government.
Key economic targets include increasing the rate of investment to 25% of GDP by 2019 and reducing the official unemployment rate from 25% - 14% by 2020. However some of these targets have been widely criticised by economists.
Radebe admitted that the employment rate was not moving fast enough with government challenges including youth unemployment.
Statistic South Africa released figures in November 2016 which showed that unemployment in South Africa has risen to 27.1% in the third quarter of 2016.

Serena Williams' father texted her about an hour before her wedding and told her he couldn't walk her down the aisle, the tennis star revealed in Wednesday's episode of the HBO docuseries "Being Serena."
"He was in New Orleans, he had a suit, and I know he was really excited," Williams said in the third episode of the series, per Vogue. "But then he wrote me and said, 'Serena, I don't want you to be mad at me, but I just can't walk you down the aisle. I'm not myself anymore. I'm just too nervous.''
Williams said she knew the pressure of the crowd would be a lot for her father, Richard Williams, to handle.
"'Daddy, it's OK, if you don't want to come to the wedding at all, that's OK, too. I'm not going to be upset with you about it, so I don't want you to be upset about it,'" Williams recalled telling him.
She said she didn't get stressed about the last-minute change of plans because she understood her father in a way others don't.
"Maybe a lot of daughters wouldn't react the same way, but I know the struggles he's had these last few years," she said. "His health is better now, but I know he still doesn't feel like himself, doesn't feel like he's perfect."
"Look, when we first came on the scene, there were a lot of people who didn't get him," she added. "I don't think a lot of them wanted to get him. I don't think a lot of him could have anyway. Our family knows what we have. We just want each other to be happy. That's what matters. I don't think anything could ever change that."
The episode about Williams' conversation with her dad aired during a very public debate over whether Meghan Markle's estranged father would attend her wedding to Prince Harry on Saturday. After much back-and-forth, Kensington Palace released a statement Thursday saying he wouldn't be there.

Donald Trump is declaring war on the world.
As America braces itself for the landfall of Hurricane Trump, it's instructive to look at Europe's populist leaders for they hold clues to our future.
The problems facing the Spanish left mirror the crisis engulfing Europe.
The EU needs to increase funding to help out the economically dislocated, or it will face more exits.
Whatever party ends up on top in the Spanish election, it will have to form a coalition, thus ending the reign of the two-party system that has dominated the country since Franco.

Passionate about the legal discipline
"Litigation is important for SANDS. We have a core team at the partner level of 13 or 14 people who work almost exclusively on litigation. 13 lawyers are admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Norway, with several more authorisations around the corner.," says Morten Steenstrup who leads the effort on civil litigation.
What Steenstrup believes distinguishes SANDS most from other firms is an understanding that today it is not enough to just be good at litigation.
"You also have to know the subject. When we appear in court in intellectual property rights, construction or shares, we have to have people who know these subject areas thoroughly. We therefore build flexible teams around one subject specialist and one litigation specialist," says Steenstrup.
"It's fun for us and cost-saving for everyone. This is our way of doing it."
THE CASES YOU REMEMBER BETTER THAN OTHERS. In 2001, Steenstrup was contacted by Jens Evensen Sr., the political giant who had negotiated the Norwegian oil adventure on behalf the country. The Minister for the Law of the Sea, along with his son Jens Evensen Jr., had been sued by another son, Even, who thought his brother had received shares he was not entitled to from their father.
"I was incredibly proud when I first met Jens Evensen in 2001. It was fantastic to be able to represent a person of such standing."
Steenstrup presumed that the confidence placed in him had to do with his orderly political background.
"Fortunately for the family, the case went under the radar for a long time because the courts handled it discreetly. You can imagine the front pages if the press had caught wind of it: "Minister for the Law of the Sea sued by his son!"
Evensen Sr. won the case. In 2011, a few years after Evensen's death, the case also cracked open in public on the basis of medical papers which showed that Evensen Sr. had had dementia. When the case was to go before the Court of Appeal, Steenstrup finally got to know why Evensen had actually chosen him as a lawyer ten years earlier.
"Evensen Jr. came over to me with an issue of the the picture magazine NÅ from 1975," says Steenstrup.
The entire cover was a picture of Jens Evensen Sr. and the headline "The Labour Party minister who is a multi-millionaire". There were five pages inside the magazine with detailed descriptions of everything Jens Evensen Sr. owned.
"This is the reason Dad chose you," Evensen Jr. said. I was the one who had written the piece. I was an investigative journalist in addition to my studies.
The article had bothered the then Minister for the Law of the Sea. But he had been impressed that someone had found out everything at a time when they physically had to dive down into the register of companies to put the thing together.
SCHRØDER VS THE LAWYER In February 2007, Steenstrup was contacted by the family of the deceased shipowner Ole Schrøder. Schrøder's lawyer had had two-thirds of the shares in the family company transferred to himself right before the shipowner died. That was the start of a nine-year-long inheritance battle that was front-page stuff the whole way.
In March 2011, the lawyer was ordered to return the shares in the company that he had unlawfully acquired for himself. Because he was unable to repay dividends and cover the legal costs of the case, his law firm was sued. The Supreme Court of Norway held that the law firm was liable as an employer for its partner, and the Court of Appeal awarded the Schrøder children a total of NOK 25 million. The order was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2016. The family has got the family company back and has been compensated for the loss they suffered in the amount of NOK 25 million.
"It's fun working on big civil cases with plenty of media attention, when they go the right way," says Steenstrup.

Recreating fond memories of 'Summer of Love' at 2017 Aldergrove Fair Days
"Here for a good time" Trooper headlines Aldergrove Fair Days concert specials, along with Beatles, CCR, Janis Joplin and Folk Music tributes.
By Kurt Langmann, June 21, 2017
The 105th annual Aldergrove Fair Days will celebrate "Flower Power" on July 14, 15 and 16, 2017.
It was 50 years ago that the "Summer of Love" made 1967 memorable, with its hippie be-ins, pop music festivals, alternative newspapers and radio stations, and psychedelic music from the likes of The Doors and the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
It starts at 2 p.m. on Saturday when the True North Troubadours (featuring Aldergrove musicians Wayne and Diane Rempel and Joel Dietrich) present an hour of the greatest folk songs of the decade.

Whether or not you might have kids or not, there are all the time reasons to e-book a summer season getaway. A great way to troubleshoot in your subsequent family vacation is to plan your activities forward of time. While summers in Texas are sizzling, you possibly can stay cool on the Water Park. Simply in time for summer time, right here is a few nice recommendation for busy Moms that want to put the concept of 'vacation' again into family vacations and ideas that may ensure everyone within the crew has enjoyable.
The opportunity to log on is a key ingredient in deciding on a vacation locale for a rising variety of individuals and Barbados is the surfing paradise of the Caribbean. Like Florida, a Caribbean cruise affords a change of tempo from the snowy, chilly winter months that you could be be used to. Winter is usually a perfect time for a cruise as a result of the climate within the Caribbean has calmed down.
It is lots cheaper to stay throughout the summer season, although you may want to stay in shady areas because the average temperature is in the 90s. If you want your rental to be competitive in the vacation market, anticipate to improve you kitchen, loos, substitute carpets, floors, decks, porches, windows, repaint, panorama, and put on a new roof when the time comes.
If you're going to be staying for various days, contemplate staying at a resort or B&B with a fridge and microwave that is located near a grocery store. Most of the hotels, condos and resorts present chairs for you (some do not, so check beforehand).
Individuals are more likely to buy a plane ticket if they will get a big low cost on a nice resort and vice versa. Wet, wild and great are the phrases that describe yet another fashionable outside Caribbean vacation exercise; River Tubing. Be sure you embrace attainable actions for downtime and wet-days.

Mouse detection in fullscreen for Wiimote
|Reported by:

So since the Wii is out the Wiimote could be the ultimate userinterface for point and click adventures. I am playing many of my old games an my plasma tv with it. But its annoying that i have play it in windowed mode because the mouse-captureing in fullscreen is not allowing a pointerdevice wich delivers absolute coords. Maybe you can make that possible in one of the next releases to use the Wiimote in fullscreen also.
greetings, Tom

I don't think this is a problem with ScummVM. When the resolution changes, it's logical that the mouse coordinates should change as well.
Tom, how are you sending the wii/mouse data to ScummVM? If you scale it according to the current screen resolution before sending, it should work.

On a warm, sunny, Tuesday evening these two beautiful individuals dropped by our farmhouse to meet up for their engagement session. Brianne was in a beautiful blue floral gown with these pretty heels that just photographed perfectly! But the thing that really stole the show wasn't the photo-bombing butterflies, it was the way that Ben looked at her!
Well Ben is pretty lucky because he found someone just like that. Brianne is the type of person you meet once and you look forward to seeing them again because they are such a joy! They way that these two moved together felt like they were in sync.
On a 100 degree night sometimes it can be difficult to put on long pants and then cuddle in the warm air WHILE actually having a great time, but these two accomplished that and more! It is always a good sign when a couple laughs at all my silly jokes and teasing! Ben and Brianne laughed and then they gave some back just as good! It was fantastic! I can't wait till we get to be a part of their beautiful wedding day to witness their vows! Their love story is certainly worth celebrating! ❤
Thank you so much for letting us spend the evening with you! You both have a rare gift of being beautiful individuals that light each other up! We are thankful for getting to witness your love and can't wait till the wedding day!!

Wind power in Texas
Wind power in Texas consists of over 40 wind farms, which together have a total nameplate capacity of over 28,000 MW (as of 2019). [1] [2] If Texas were a country, it would rank fifth in the world: [1] The installed wind capacity in Texas exceeds installed wind capacity in all countries but China, the United States, Germany and India. Texas produces the most wind power of any U.S. state. [1] [3] According to ERCOT (Energy Reliability Council of Texas), wind power accounted for at least 15.7% of the electricity generated in Texas during 2017, as wind was 17.4% of electricity generated in ERCOT, which manages 90% of Texas's power. [4] [5] ERCOT set a new wind output record of nearly 19.7 GW at 7:19 pm Central Standard Time on Monday, January 21, 2019. [6]
The wind resource in many parts of Texas is very large. Farmers may lease their land to wind developers, creating a new revenue stream for the farm. The wind power industry has also created over 24,000 jobs for local communities and for the state. Texas is seen as a profit-driven leader of renewable energy commercialization in the United States. The wind boom in Texas was assisted by expansion of the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard, use of designated Competitive Renewable Energy Zones, expedited transmission construction, and the necessary Public Utility Commission rule-making. [7]
The Roscoe Wind Farm (781 MW), near the town of Roscoe, is the state's largest wind farm. Other large wind farms in Texas include: Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center, Sherbino Wind Farm, Capricorn Ridge Wind Farm, Sweetwater Wind Farm, Buffalo Gap Wind Farm, King Mountain Wind Farm, Desert Sky Wind Farm, Wildorado Wind Ranch, and the Brazos Wind Farm.
Wind power has a long history in Texas. West Texas A&M University began wind energy research in 1970 and led to the formation of the Alternative Energy Institute (AEI) in 1977. AEI has been a major information resource about wind energy for Texas. [8] The first 80-meter tower was erected at Big Spring, Texas in 1999. [9]
Several forces are driving the growth of wind power in Texas: favorable wind resources and land availability, State targets for renewable energy, cost efficiency of development and operation of wind farms, and a suitable electric transmission grid. The broad scope and geographical extent of wind farms in Texas is considerable: wind resource areas lie in the Texas Panhandle, along the Gulf coast south of Galveston, and in the mountain passes and ridge tops of the Trans-Pecos in the western tip of Texas. While there are over 10,700 wind turbines currently[ when?] operating in Texas to generate electricity, there are still 80,000 windmills operating in Texas for pumping water, indicating the amount of growth potential still left for wind power generation. [10]
Wind power is a for-profit enterprise between land owners and wind farm operators. Texas farmers can lease their land to wind developers for either a set rental per turbine or for a small percentage of gross annual revenue from the project. [11] This offers farmers a fresh revenue stream without impacting traditional farming and grazing practices. [12] Although leasing arrangements vary widely, the U. S. Government Accountability Office reported in 2004 that a farmer who leases land to a wind project developer can generally obtain royalties of $3,000 to $5,000 per turbine per year in lease payments. These figures are rising as larger wind turbines are being produced and installed. [13]
Wind power offers a reliability benefit in that its generation (though not its transmission) is highly decentralized. Sabotage and industrial accidents can be potential threats to the large, centrally located, power plants that provide most of Texas' electricity. Should one of these plants be damaged, repairs could take more than a year, possibly creating power shortages on a scale that Texans have never experienced before. Coal trains and gas pipelines are also vulnerable to disruption. However, wind power plants are quickly installed and repaired. The modular structure of a wind farm also means that if one turbine is damaged, the overall output of the plant is not significantly affected. [14]
Wind is a highly variable resource. With proper understanding and planning, it can be incorporated into an electric utility's generation mix, although it clearly does not provide the sort of on-demand availability that Gas power stations provide.
Many areas in Texas have wind conditions allowing for development of wind power generation. The number of commercially attractive sites has expanded as wind turbine technology has improved and development costs continue to drop. [15] (→ Cost of electricity by source#United States) Particularly in southern Texas, the difference between land and off-shore air temperatures creates convection currents that generate significant winds during the middle of the day when electricity usage is typically at its peak level. [16] Although these winds are less than in West Texas, they occur more predictably, more in correlation with consumption, and closer to consumers. Several wind farms have been developed at the Texas coast, to a combined 3,000 MW. [17] [18]
Starting in 2008, the wind power development boom in Texas outstripped the capacity of the transmission systems in place, and predicted shortages in transmission capability could have dampened the growth of the industry. Until 2008, the growth in wind power "piggybacked" on existing lines, but had almost depleted spare capacity. [19] As a result, in winter the west Texas grid often had such a local surplus of power, that the price would fall below zero. [20] [21] According to Michael Goggin, electric industry analyst at AWEA, "Prices fell below US −$30/MWh (megawatt-hour) on 63% of days during the first half of 2008, compared to 10% for the same period in 2007 and 5% in 2006." [22]
In July 2008, utility officials gave preliminary approval to a $4.9 billion plan to build new transmission lines to carry wind-generated electricity from West Texas to urban areas such as Dallas. The new plan would be the biggest investment in renewable energy in U.S. history, and would add transmission lines capable of moving about 18,000 megawatts. [23] ERCOT curtailed wind power by 17% (3.8 TWh) in 2009, but that decreased to only 0.5% by 2014, as transmission improved, particularly the Competitive Renewable Energy Zone (CREZ) in 2013. [24] [25] [26] However the CREZ lines are sometimes maxed out, and in November 2015, prices were negative for 50 hours. Wind power in Texas receives subsidies regardless of whether power prices are positive or negative.
In an early morning period of low electricity demand, wind energy served more than 56% of total demand on the ERCOT grid at 3:10 am Central Standard Time on Saturday, January 19, 2019. [6] Two days later, ERCOT set a new wind output record of nearly 19.7GW at 7:19 pm Central Standard Time on Monday, January 21, 2019. [6]
In areas where Smart Metering is commonly installed, [27] some utilities offer free electricity at night. [28]

Renewable Portfolio Standard
After years of preparation, [29] [30] the Texas Renewable Portfolio Standard was originally created by Senate Bill 7 and signed by Governor Bush in 1999, [31] [32] [33] which helped Texas eventually become the leading producer of wind powered electricity in the U.S. [34] [35] [36] The RPS was part of new laws that restructured the electricity industry. The Texas RPS mandated that utility companies jointly create 2000 megawatts (MW) of new renewable energy by 2009 based on their market share. [37] In 2005, Senate Bill 20, increased the state's RPS requirement to 5,880 MW by 2015, of which, 500 MW must come from non-wind resources. The bill set a goal of 10,000 MW of renewable energy capacity for 2025, which was achieved 15 years early, in 2010. [38]
According to DSIRE.org, "In 1999 the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) adopted rules for the state's Renewable Energy Mandate, establishing a renewable portfolio standard (RPS), a renewable-energy credit (REC) trading program, and renewable-energy purchase requirements for competitive retailers in Texas. The 1999 standard called for 2,000 megawatts (MW) of new renewables to be installed in Texas by 2009, in addition to the 880 MW of existing renewables generation at the time. In August 2005, S.B. 20 increased the renewable-energy mandate to 5,880 MW by 2015 (about 5% of the state's electricity demand), including a target of 500 MW of renewable-energy capacity from resources other than wind. Wind accounts for nearly all of the current renewable-energy generation in Texas. The 2005 legislation also set a target of reaching 10,000 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2025. [38]
Qualifying renewable energy sources include solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, wave or tidal energy, biomass, or biomass-based waste products, including landfill gas. Qualifying systems are those installed after September 1999. The RPS applies to all investor-owned utilities. Municipal and cooperative utilities may voluntarily elect to offer customer choice.
The PUCT established a renewable-energy credit (REC) trading program that began in July 2001 and will continue through 2019. Under PUCT rules, one REC represents one megawatt-hour (MWh) of qualified renewable energy that is generated and metered in Texas. A capacity conversion factor (CCF) is used to convert MW goals into MWh requirements for each retailer in the competitive market. The CCF was originally administratively set at 35% for the first two compliance years, but is now based on the actual performance of the resources in the REC-trading program for the previous two years. For the 2010 and 2011 the CCF will be 30.5%." Each retailer in Texas is allocated a share of the mandate based on that retailer's pro rata share of statewide retail energy sales. The program administrator maintains a REC account for program participants to track the production, sale, transfer, purchase, and retirement of RECs. Credits can be banked for three years, and all renewable additions have a minimum of 10 years of credits to recover over-market costs. An administrative penalty of $50 per MWh was established for providers that do not meet the RPS requirements.
Future developments
An energy storage system is being developed for West Texas. The system allows excess wind energy to be stored, making wind energy more predictable and less variable. [40] This 36 MW battery facility became operational in December 2012. [41]
The development of the Tres Amigas HVDC link to the Western grid and the Eastern grid will allow more flexibility in importing and exporting power to and from Texas. [42]
A 300 MW offshore wind farm is planned for Galveston, and 2,100 MW for the Gulf Coast of Texas. [43] Making turbines that are able to yaw quickly will make them more likely to be able to survive a hurricane. [44]

text: gadzukes 6,890 posts Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) I bought a raw high grade Silver Marvel 6 months ago from a long time boardie. I sent it to CCS for a press and then on to CGC and it came back today as a "Qualified". I contacted him 3 days ago and haven't received a response even though I know he's been on the boards in that time. Should I just suck it up as the risk of buying a raw comic or should we be held to a higher standard here on the boards. I'm not a huge fan of qualified especially when I'm expecting a Blue label. BTW, I'm not accusing him of any hanky panky. I'm experienced and I didn't notice it had a Married cover.... he might have missed it too.

That is work best left to a qualified roofing technician. Let him do the dangerous climbing. And you will notice too that when he and his assistants go up, they will be dressed in protective and brightly colored vests. And they should also have a harness attached to them, pretty much in the same way that an athletic mountaineer or rock climber would. No matter how agile and experienced they are, accidents are always possible.
This is not necessarily owing to gross incompetence or a mental slip. The weather can be just so unpredictable sometimes. One moment it is just so still and calm out there. And then the next thing you know, up comes a really strong wind. It can really jolt a person by surprise, so quickly that he might not have enough time to react accordingly. Speaking of the weather, there is always the next big storm.
And depending where you are in the country, that heavy storm, whether seasonal or remote, is famous, or should that read; notorious for one thing. Utter and sheer destruction. Total havoc. It can be so bad that it could even rip your roof apart. And where does that leave you? Quite possibly with no place to sleep for the night. So, that's it then. Take care.
