864 F. 2d 294 - Barry v. Brower Brower W
864 F2d 294 Barry v. Brower Brower W
Michael C. BARRY
Alfred BROWER and the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey.
Appeal of Alfred BROWER, Superintendent, Bergen County Jail,
and W. Cary Edwards, Attorney General of New Jersey.
Third Circuit.
Argued June 1, 1988.
Decided Dec. 30, 1988.
Mildred Vallerini Spiller, Deputy Atty. Gen. (argued), Div. of Crim. Justice, Appellate Section, Trenton, N.J., for appellants.
Jane E. Haburay, Asst. Deputy Public Defender (argued), Appellate Section, East Orange, N.J., for appellee Michael C. Barry.
Before SEITZ, SLOVITER and HUTCHINSON, Circuit Judges.
OPINION OF THE COURT
HUTCHINSON, Circuit Judge.
The State of New Jersey appeals an order of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey granting appellee Dr. Michael C. Barry's (Barry's) petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254 (West 1977). The order directs the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court to reinstate Barry's appeal and the office of the state's public defender to represent him on that appeal.1 The issues before us are (a) whether Barry established that he was an indigent within the express provision of 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254(d)(5), (b) whether the written finding of the state court's Appellate Division to the contrary is entitled to deference and (c) whether the district court had jurisdiction on habeas corpus to directly order the state court to reinstate Barry's appeal. We hold that Barry's uncontradicted financial inability to secure counsel for his appeal, after contacting all the lawyers suggested by the public defender, makes him indigent as a matter of law, despite his joint interest in the equity in his family residence. However, we also hold that a district court's power to grant a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254 is limited on this record to directing Barry's release from custody if the state fails to correct the constitutional violation of his Sixth Amendment right to counsel on direct appeal. We will therefore modify the district court's order to so provide and as modified, affirm.
Although Barry completed his custodial sentence after he filed the petition for the writ on June 14, 1985, the district court had continuing jurisdiction over Barry's petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254 because a portion of Barry's three year probationary sentence remained open.2 Persons whose liberty is restricted are "in custody" as that term is used in 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254. See Mabry v. Johnson, 467 U.S. 504, 507 n. 3, 104 S.Ct. 2543, 2546 n. 3, 81 L.Ed.2d 437 (1984) (prisoner on parole remains "in custody" for purposes of 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254); Jones v. Cunningham, 371 U.S. 236, 243, 83 S.Ct. 373, 377, 9 L.Ed.2d 285 (1963) (prisoner on parole is "in custody" for purposes of Sec. 2241); see also Evitts v. Lucey, 469 U.S. 387, 391 n. 4, 105 S.Ct. 830, 833 n. 4, 83 L.Ed.2d 821 (1985) (collateral consequences of conviction prevent case from becoming moot after prisoner released from custody); Pringle v. Court of Common Pleas, 744 F.2d 297, 300 (3d Cir.1984) ("custody" includes persons released on parole and bail). We can see no material difference between probation and parole in applying the "in custody" requirement of Sec. 2254. Moreover, the district court had jurisdiction under Sec. 2254 when Barry filed his petition on the day he began his custodial term. United States v. Hopkins, 517 F.2d 420, 423 n. 6 (3d Cir.1975). That jurisdiction continues at least until the expiration of Barry's probationary term.3
We have appellate jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1291 (West Supp.1988) over the district court's order granting Barry's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Our review on the question of whether Barry was denied his constitutional right to counsel on appeal is plenary. We also exercise plenary review over the meaning of the statutory terms in Sec. 2254(d).
On May 24, 1982, after a twelve week trial, a New Jersey jury found Barry and several co-defendants guilty of multiple charges involving the distribution and dispensation of dangerous controlled substances. Barry's counsel quit about halfway through the trial and Barry continued as the only defendant without an attorney. On August 26, 1982, the New Jersey Superior Court sentenced Barry to concurrent three year probation terms, conditioned on his serving a 180 day custodial sentence, and also imposed an $85,000 fine.
On October 4, 1982, Barry asked the state public defender's office to represent him on appeal. That office began investigating his indigency and filed a late notice of appeal, nunc pro tunc, on October 25, 1982. However, on November 18, 1982, the public defender completed its investigation and found that Barry was not indigent. James K. Smith, Jr., the attorney who first concluded that Barry was not indigent and therefore ineligible for the public defender's services, stated that he did so because the investigative report showed that Barry and his wife had an $80,000 equity in their house and a money market account of about $7,500. Smith concluded that, with these assets, Barry could afford a private attorney despite the $85,000 fine. Jt.App. at 75.
On February 10, 1983, the public defender's office filed a motion for leave to withdraw as appellate counsel. Barry opposed it, claiming in his affidavit that his debts exceeded his assets, his wife opposed selling or encumbering their jointly owned residence, and that he had consulted six private attorneys recommended by the public defender and they all had refused to represent him without a substantial initial cash outlay. Id. at 27-30. These facts are uncontradicted. On March 3, 1983, the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court, without discussion, granted the public defender leave to withdraw. Id. at 31.
Thereafter, Barry's efforts to perfect his now pro se appeal from the adverse verdict he received in his pro se trial followed what we advisedly called a three year "hapless course" in the New Jersey courts. Barry I, slip op. at 2-3. In the rain of motions and orders involved, the New Jersey Supreme Court shed a temporary ray of hope for Barry on December 4, 1984 when it stayed his sentence for seven days pending reconsideration by the public defender's office of his application for representation. On that reapplication, the public defender found Barry unable to obtain private counsel using the equity in his home and concluded that he qualified for representation.4 The public defender then entered an appearance for Barry on his motion for reinstatement of his appeal. On March 8, 1985, the Appellate Division nevertheless denied Barry's motion to reinstate the appeal. In a one paragraph per curiam decision, it held that the public defender's initial determination of non-indigency was correct. That order reads:
Defendant's property holdings render him ineligible for the services of the public defender. There is no authority for the proposition that the fines imposed constitute liens on defendant's real property.
Id. at 87.
Barry petitioned the New Jersey Supreme Court for rehearing, arguing that he had been denied his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. It declined to certify the March 8, 1985 order. Barry then sought habeas relief in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey under 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254. The district court initially denied the writ on exhaustion grounds and this Court reversed in Barry I. On remand, the district court granted Barry's petition on the merits. This appeal followed.
A district court is empowered to entertain an application for a writ of habeas corpus by a person in custody under a state court judgment "only on the ground that he is in custody in violation of the Constitution or laws or treaties of the United States." 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254(a). Barry asserts a violation of the Constitution, claiming his Sixth Amendment right to counsel if he is "indigent." Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335, 343, 83 S.Ct. 792, 796, 9 L.Ed.2d 799 (1963).
In deciding whether to issue a writ of habeas corpus for a state prisoner, a district court must deal with three factors. They are: (1) federal law, (2) state law, and (3) the facts to which the law must be applied. The district court has plenary power with respect to federal law, i.e., the meaning of the Constitution and the laws of the United States. Townsend v. Sain, 372 U.S. 293, 318, 83 S.Ct. 745, 759-60, 9 L.Ed.2d 770 (1963). However, the district court is bound by the state court's determination of state substantive law. Wainwright v. Sykes, 433 U.S. 72, 81, 97 S.Ct. 2497, 2503-04, 53 L.Ed.2d 594 (1977). Finally, the district court must defer to the factual findings of the state court if they have a basis in reason. See 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254.
The facts in this case are undisputed. Barry has a substantial asset, but he was not able to secure counsel on its security. The state court held as a matter of state law that his ownership of this asset made him ineligible for counsel at public expense. The district court viewed the Appellate Division's order of March 8, 1985 as an interference with the public defender's administrative determination that Barry was eligible for representation. It concluded that interference was unauthorized by state law, holding that the Appellate Division had no power to review a public defender's administrative finding of eligibility, citing State v. Nilsen, 214 N.J.Super. 23, 518 A.2d 240 (App.Div.1986).
The district court based this holding on a plausible interpretation of state law, but nevertheless one which conflicts with the Appellate Division's determination of its state's own law as applied to the facts of this case.5 A district court may not substitute its interpretation of state law for that of the state court whose action it is reviewing. Sykes, 433 U.S. at 81, 97 S.Ct. at 2503-04. The text of the Appellate Division's order shows that it construed New Jersey statutory law on indigence as meaning that a person with Barry's assets is not entitled to counsel at public expense. The Appellate Division reviewed the public defender's determination that Barry was financially unable to get private counsel and reversed it. Therefore, the district court's conclusion that the Appellate Division had no jurisdiction to review the public defender's decision to provide representation is inappropriate.6
Nevertheless, the district court's decision to grant Barry a federal writ of habeas corpus may be justified. As interpreted by the United States Supreme Court, the Sixth Amendment requires a state to furnish counsel, on a first appeal of right, to persons accused of crimes if they lack the financial means to hire a private lawyer. Douglas v. California, 372 U.S. 353, 356, 83 S.Ct. 814, 816, 9 L.Ed.2d 811 (1963). When their constitutional right to counsel has been violated by a state's failure to provide counsel to an indigent, district courts are ordinarily required to grant habeas corpus relief.
In deciding whether the record shows that Barry was unable to secure counsel, we first consider whether the Appellate Division's ruling that Barry was not indigent is entitled to deference in the district court. Section 2254(d) provides, in pertinent part, as follows:
(d) In any proceeding instituted in a Federal court by an application for a writ of habeas corpus by a person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a State court, a determination after a hearing on the merits of a factual issue, made by a State court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding to which the applicant for the writ and the State or an officer or agent thereof were parties, evidenced by a written finding, written opinion, or other reliable and adequate written indicia, shall be presumed to be correct, unless the applicant shall establish or it shall otherwise appear, or the respondent shall admit--
(5) that the applicant was an indigent and the State court, in deprivation of his constitutional right, failed to appoint counsel to represent him in the State court proceeding[.]
28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254(d)(5).7 The Appellate Division's finding that Barry's property holdings make him ineligible for the assistance of the public defender is not entitled to a presumption of validity because indigence itself is not a fact, but a status deduced from historical facts themselves supported by the evidence in the record. The structure of Sec. 2254(d) itself shows that the federal court must make an inquiry into the indigency of the applicant, if the issue is raised. The standard of indigency is necessarily a federal one. "If, at critical stages of the criminal proceedings against him, petitioner was financially unable to retain counsel, he had a constitutional right to have appointed counsel provided by the state." Cuevas v. Wilson, 264 F.Supp. 65, 70 (N.D.Cal.1966). "[R]eason and reflection require us to recognize that in our adversary system of criminal justice, any person haled into court, who is too poor to hire a lawyer, cannot be assured a fair trial unless counsel is provided for him." Gideon, 372 U.S. at 344, 83 S.Ct. at 796. The same is true for a first appeal as of right. Douglas, 372 U.S. at 356, 83 S.Ct. at 816.
Indigence is not equivalent to total destitution. An accused with assets may be indigent. Thiel v. Southern Pacific Co., 159 F.2d 61, 61 (9th Cir.1946). In some cases, liquidation of assets may be required. Perry v. Chief of Police, 660 F.Supp. 1546, 1552 (E.D.Ark.1987) (rejecting Arkansas's "able bodied and educated" test in favor of objective "present ability to pay" test).8 The Constitution requires states to meet a "present" need for counsel.9 If by their nature an accused's assets cannot be timely reduced to cash and cash is required, the "present" financial inability to obtain counsel which defines indigence for Sixth Amendment purposes appears.10
The record shows that Barry did not have the then-present financial ability to obtain counsel and was, therefore, indigent. Evidence of the accused's unsuccessful efforts to obtain private counsel is uncontradicted.11 Barry sought the services of all six attorneys recommended by the public defender and found none of them willing to forego an up-front payment because of his interest in his jointly held residence.12 A joint interest in a valuable equity in a family residence does not necessarily negate indigence for purposes of an accused's Sixth Amendment right to counsel. Barry has demonstrated his financial inability to obtain private counsel as a matter of law. Barry was not afforded his constitutional right to counsel on the direct appeal New Jersey provides. Accordingly, the district court's decision to grant a writ of habeas corpus was correct.
Although the district court did not err in granting Barry a writ of habeas corpus, it went beyond its power in directly ordering the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court to reinstate his appeal. Both the historic nature of the writ and principles of federalism preclude a federal court's direct interference with a state court's conduct of state litigation. Sykes, 433 U.S. at 81, 97 S.Ct. at 2503-04. The writ of habeas corpus gives a court power to direct an official to produce the body of a person in custody in the court issuing the writ. The issuing court then has jurisdiction to free the person in custody from the restraints imposed upon his liberty if it determines the custody is illegal or illegally imposed. A habeas court does not have power to directly intervene in the process of the tribunal which has incorrectly subjected the petitioner to the custody of the respondent official. Since we agree with the district court's conclusion that the restraints on Barry's liberty violate his Sixth Amendment right to counsel on direct appeal of his state conviction, the respondent Brower can be ordered to produce Barry or free him of these illegal restraints. The respect due the tribunals of a sovereign state within our federal system, however, requires that its courts be given an opportunity to correct their own errors. Barry does not ask the district court or us to decide the merits of his state appeal. He seeks only an opportunity to present his arguments to the state appellate court with counsel's assistance. The state court can do this by deciding for itself whether Barry should be given an opportunity to effectively raise those issues he wishes on the merits of his direct appeal. An order in the nature of a decree nisi directing Barry's release from Brower's custody unless the state court acts to reinstate his appeal within thirty days of this decision is all that is required.
Accordingly, we will affirm the district court's order granting the writ, but modify its judgment to provide for Barry's release from the restraints of his state conviction unless, within thirty days of the issuance of our mandate, the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court enters an order reinstating his appeal and permitting the public defender to represent him on that appeal.
This case was previously before us on Barry's appeal from the district court's first order denying the writ for failure to exhaust state remedies as required by 28 U.S.C.A. Secs. 2254(b) and (c). On appeal, we held that Barry had exhausted his state remedies within the meaning of these subsections and remanded for consideration of the merits. Barry v. Brower, No. 85-5413 (3d Cir. September 11, 1985) [774 F.2d 1150 (table) ] (per curiam) (Barry I )
On December 18, 1987, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey stayed the running of Barry's sentence pending the outcome of this appeal. Joint Appendix (Jt.App.) at 192. Although sentence was imposed on August 26, 1982, it did not commence until June 14, 1985 when Barry began serving his concurrent 180 day custodial sentence. Jt.App. at 150. Accordingly, the probationary sentence would have expired on June 14, 1988 but for the Appellate Division's stay
Since Barry's three year probationary term has not expired, we do not consider the question of whether there are other "collateral consequences" of his conviction if it remains undisturbed, what they are, and how they affect the "in custody" requirement of 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 2254(d). Barry indicates that he has lost his license to practice medicine in New Jersey as a direct result of his conviction. However, the record on this point is not fully developed
At the time, New Jersey law defined an "indigent defendant" as "a person who is formally charged with the commission of an indictable offense, and who does not have the present financial ability to secure competent legal representation and to provide all other necessary expenses of representation." N.J.Stat.Ann. Sec. 2A:158A-2 (West 1985). Concerning eligibility, New Jersey law then provided, in relevant part:
Eligibility for the services of the Office of the Public Defender shall be determined on the basis of the need of the defendant. Need shall be measured according to the financial ability of the defendant to engage and compensate competent private counsel and to provide all other necessary expenses of representation. Such ability shall be recognized to be a variable depending on the nature, extent and liquidity of assets and on the disposable net income of the defendant on the one hand, and on the nature of the charge, the effort and skill required to gather pertinent information, render advice, conduct trial or render other legal services, and probable expenses to be incurred, on the other hand.
N.J.Stat.Ann. Sec. 2A:158A-14 (West 1985). Section 2A:158A-15 authorized the public defender's office to conduct a financial investigation to evaluate eligibility. N.J.Stat.Ann. Sec. 2A:158A-15 (West 1985).
These statutory sections were amended in 1987. See infra note 8.
We have found no decision of the New Jersey Supreme Court compelling the rationale we attribute to the Appellate Division or the rationale the district court believes state law requires. We do not believe that this uncertainty leaves the district court free to predict what the New Jersey Supreme Court would do. In a diversity case, for example, federal courts act on cases which have not been before the state court for decision and must determine, and often predict, what substantive law to apply. In habeas cases, by contrast, district courts act after the state court has decided the state law and applied it to the same record that is before the habeas court. To permit federal courts to speculate about the direction state law may take in the face of an authoritative final decision of a state court in the same case would directly interfere with the state's ability to decide the meaning of its own law
We recognize that the interpretation of the Appellate Division's cryptic March 8, 1985 order as a reversal of the public defender's reconsidered determination that Barry was financially unable to retain private counsel is not the only possible one. It could also, although perhaps less plausibly, be interpreted as holding that the Appellate Division's prior order granting the public defender leave to withdraw after that office's initial determination of Barry's non-eligibility was an affirmance constituting law of the case, which left Barry responsible for his pro se procedural derelictions. This interpretation is inconsistent with the New Jersey Supreme Court's December 4, 1984 order staying Barry's sentence so that the public defender could reconsider its finding that Barry was not eligible for representation. Moreover, there is a substantial danger of circular reasoning in justifying dismissal of a pro se appeal for procedural default when the appellant is unconstitutionally denied counsel
The express language of Sec. 2254(d)(5) shows Congress's intent to provide a federal remedy adequate to fully secure to all persons their constitutional right to counsel in state criminal cases
In Perry, the district court listed the following four factors, as set out by W. LaFave and J. Israel, 2 Criminal Procedure Sec. 11.2(e) (1984), for consideration in determining indigency: "(1) the defendant's income and assets; (2) the number of defendant's dependents; (3) the defendant's total indebtedness; and (4) the likely fee of retained counsel." Id. In that case the district court also adopted a fifth element, "the cost of the transcript," in cases involving an appeal. Id. We agree that these factors are helpful in determining indigency
Compare the current version of the New Jersey statute on indigence amended by the New Jersey legislature, subsequent to these proceedings. In determining eligibility to receive representation by the public defender's office the statute now includes the following specific factors:
Eligibility for the services of the Office of the Public Defender shall be determined on the basis of the need of the defendant. Need shall be measured according to:
a. The financial ability of the defendant to engage and compensate competent private counsel;
b. The current employment, salary and income of the defendant including prospects for continued employment if admitted to bail;
c. The liquid assets of the defendant, including all real and personal property and bank accounts;
d. The ability of the defendant to make bail and the source of bail posted;
e. Where appropriate the willingness and ability of the defendant's immediate family, friends or employer to assist the defendant in meeting defense costs;
f. Where appropriate an assessment of the probable and reasonable costs of providing a private defense, based upon the status of the defendant, the nature and extent of the charges and the likely issues;
g. Where appropriate, the ability of the defendant to demonstrate convincingly that he has consulted at least three private attorneys, none of whom would accept the case for a fee within his ability to pay; and
h. The ability of the defendant to provide all other necessary expenses of representation.
In the event that a determination of eligibility cannot be made before the time when the first services are to be rendered, or if an initial determination is found to be erroneous, the office shall undertake the same provisionally, and if it shall subsequently be determined that the defendant is ineligible it shall so inform the defendant, and the defendant shall thereupon be obliged to engage his own counsel and to reimburse the office for the cost of the services rendered to that time.
N.J.Stat.Ann. Sec. 2A:158A-14 (West Supp.1988).
They may perhaps elect to require an accused who has the capability to do so to reimburse the public treasury for the reasonable cost of providing counsel. Whether reimbursement is to be required, the extent to which an accused can be required to liquidate assets and the amount of reimbursement are matters not before us
The federal standard for appointment of counsel by the district court "for any person financially unable to obtain adequate representation" is codified at 18 U.S.C.A. Sec. 3006A (West Supp.1988)
Because the facts are uncontradicted, we find it unnecessary to remand this case to the district court for an evidentiary hearing
Five of the attorneys specifically declined to accept a mortgage as security, and the sixth declined to accept a long-term financing arrangement. Jt.App. at 27-29

Adirondack chairs have been around for over a century and are still going strong. If you wish to add this iconic piece of American furniture to your patio or garden, a few simple pointers can go a long way in helping you make an informed purchase.
Thomas Lee designed the first Adirondack chair in 1903, while holidaying in the Adirondack Mountains.
When you have no other choice but to choose Adirondack chairs on the basis of a few photographs, you will need to be doubly sure that you're not being fooled into buying a substandard piece of furniture.
While the chair may look grand, shiny, and well-designed, it is the quality of wood/material used as well as the construction of the furniture that determines its durability and cost-effectiveness. here is some helpful tips on how to shop for Adirondack chairs.
The back bracing of the chair is perhaps the most important feature of the chair, because it is responsible for the amount of weight it can support. Although at first glance, a cleaner design with lesser pieces of wood behind the backrest may seem more appealing, you should consider an Adirondack chair with at least two back braces.
Since these braces strengthen the weak points on the backrest of this chair, the ones that are designed with three crisscrossed back braces are the strongest and ideal for long-term use. In case you plan on buying a foldable Adirondack chair, make sure that you buy one that has its back sturdily braced, and does not shift or squeak while being used.
Do not presume that the chairs which have more reclined backs offer greater comfort. As far as the Adirondack chair is concerned, these chairs were originally designed with the intention of being used on mountain/hill slopes, where the reclining back and sloping seat, actually made the user sit in a leveled manner.
It is because of this reason that the classic Adirondack chair has such as steep recline. However, when used on a flat surface, the recline of the back needs to be adjusted so as to enable the user to sit and get up from the chair with ease.
Therefore, for use on flat surfaces, opt for a chair with a back that leans slightly, or has an adjustable backrest with grids on the chair's rear legs.
The classic Adirondack chair had a flat seat; however, the present-day designs feature prominent curved seats that bend at the front stretcher of the chair, and may or may not come with an extendable footrest. Although the comfort of the seat boils down to personal preferences, flat seats are not only comfortable but also better for your posture.
Sitting on an overtly curved Adirondack seat can lead to numbness and added stress on the lower back, sit bones, and areas under the knees. Therefore, if possible, test the chair by sitting on it before purchase, or go in for a flatter seat with a slight curve.
Like seat slats, the slats of the backrest of an Adirondack chair must should either be absolutely straight or slightly curved to lend support to the natural arch of your back and shoulders.
The feather-styled Adirondack chair is a perfect example of a slightly curved backrest, because the outer slats gently fold inwards towards the inner slats, to give a mild arched and cradling backrest. Also, chairs with overly curved backs tend to make the sitter hunch more than necessary, which can adversely affect his/her posture in the long run.
The rear legs support much of the sitter's weight, and so, must be thick, made of strong material, and must be well-designed to rest on any surface. The front legs must have sturdy arm brackets that support the arms of the chair. Also, the front of the seat must be supported from underneath by a front rail that attaches to the front legs of the chair.
Whether you're buying the chair from an actual store or through online shopping, make sure that you check the material specifications of the chair you intend to buy.
To make a more Eco-friendly purchase, consider going in for an Adirondack chair made with 'Certified Sustainable Harvested Wood'. You can always ask the seller whether or not the wood used in their chairs are certified and sold by a licensed supplier.
Among the different types of wood used for manufacturing Adirondack chairs, cedar wood and more specifically, red cedar wood is the most suitable softwood.
Cedar is durable and naturally resistant to termites, insects, and rot. When left untreated, the wood will turn gray, and may develop fissures and marks; however, these do not undermine the strength of the construction of the chair. Consider opting for a cedar Adirondack chair that has been given a primer finish and UV top coat.
Teak is a great hardwood to use because it is extremely strong, heavy, and impervious to rot, termites, and mildew. However, it is comparatively more expensive than cedar, because it needs to be imported into the U.S. If you're looking for an inexpensive material and for short-term use, you may want to opt for chairs made of pine or recycled plastic.
Pine is a comparatively weak wood that is vulnerable to mildew, rot, and termites. That being said, the life of this wood can be extended by coating the furniture with a strong primer and UV-protected top coat. Plastic Adirondack chairs can last for decades if they are maintained regularly.
Finally, ensure that you buy an Adirondack chair designed by a reputable manufacturer, and go through its reviews before making a decision.

2005-2015 Ten Years Broadcasting Blissful Euphoric Trance
26th July 2005 was when my radio station went live for the very first time...but how did it all begin....i've always been fascinated with radio and music.I listened to BBC Radio One here in the UK almost religously and because my parents had a cassette player as well i was always keenly listening for when my favourite tracks came on so i could record them....and yes it was completely illegal but i was a kid and didn't even know what the copyright mean't.
My fascination with music and radio was always there even when i grew up but as i did grow up i begin to realise that a job as a DJ may not be as fanciable as i previously though when i was little.The restrictions DJ's were under,rules and regulations they had to follow and when they arrived for work they had to play a set playlist laid out for them and not what they wanted to play,therefore they could easily end up playing tracks they don't like...all of a sudden the idea of being a DJ was less likely something i would want to do.
But then the digital radio revolution began and more and more companies began competing and my dad made me aware of it by seeing an article in The Times newspaper and if memory serves the tag line was 'So you want run your own radio station?',the article said this could be done via Shoutcast or Live365...now these days there are numerous companies which offer exactly the same thing but 10 years ago only 2 were and when i looked into it at the time,Live365 albeit and American based company which you had to pay to have your radio station out there...they took care of the royalties and over time my station grew in popularity and even became one of the Top 100 stations out of thousands on the Network.Indeed the station did slip out the Top 100 this was because professionally run stations began adding themselves to the network because as it boasts...it is the Worlds Largest Internet Radio Network.
So it had alot of Pros...but the Cons were evident and stung me heavily....and over 9 years with the Network despite having great listener stats i was down by £9,000....which i couldn't continue to pay for or afford,after all i am not a big company and financially i was not recouping anything at all.
So i began looking for other servers to showcase my radio station and for 6 months i tried Spacial.com which i felt was a cheaper version of Live365 which didn't maximise the potential of the station.
When i was looking for other servers i looked at Radionomy briefly and after i felt Spacial.com wasn't suitable i returned to Live365 for a short time while i was looking at the fine print of Radionomy.....
So after 10 years of broadcasting this is where Trance Euphoria International Radio will be for it's 10th Anniversary in 10 days time and what a rollercoaster of a 10 years it has been and this could easily come to an abrupt end january 2016 if the station doesn't meet the required Total Listening Hours of 130 Per Day....right now my feeling on this is frustration because Radionomy is not a robust platform and are having multiple technical issues very frequently which is making it almost impossible for my daily average TLH to increase to where i am comfortable.It is very clear that because it is FREE to Broadcast and Listen you have to meet these requirements but Radionomy themselves are not fulfilling their end of the deal by crashing repeatedly therefore losing listeners which i need to ensure a good daily average.
Interestingly i think it's sad that the platform for broadcasting your station isn't as robust as Live365 because if it was it would be far more flexible and have far more opportunities than Live365....during my time at Live365 i learn't that you couldn't take the stream and play it elsewhere apart from iTunes.
Radionomy when working properly allows your radio station to broadcast through multiple media...but i still need your support to get the stations listening figures daily over the average....at the moment it is bouncing around #50 hours a day....and by January 2016 i have to have 130 hours a day otherwise Radionomy will undo all my hard work getting the trance and mixes to you and delete it all without even warning me...despite the fact i may not have reached the required hours because of their own technical difficulties.
Between now and then i will upload as many 'Vault Of Trance' Mixes and brand new mixes and brand new trance for you guys.....
Lets ensure the rollercoaster of euphoric trance continues.....
Many Thanks to everyone
Much Love


It's always something of a mystery when some vintage British crime pictures attain a hallowed status in the film pantheon where other, equally good movies, languish in obscurity. You'll hear no argument from this quarter about the classic status of Get Carter or The Long Good Friday but what about the likes of Villain, The Black Windmill, Fear is the Key or A Prize of Arms? In fact I'll go one further, now I've finally caught up with it, and add another great film to that list of overlooked gems: Sitting Target.
Made during Ollie Reed's early 70s period that saw him zig-zagging between high art fare for Ken Russell and more box office friendly swashbuckling roles, this is a fabulously stripped down study of a career criminal whose bloodlust is raised and cannot be sated no matter the obstacles in his way.
He plays a career criminal currently on remand who's facing an inevitable extra fifteen years in stir. His behaviour inside has been far from exemplary and when his visiting wife tells him she wants a divorce and is carrying another man's child so great is his anger he smashes through the separating window and tries to throttle her. Chances of an early parole? As close to nil as makes no difference.
Fear not though for what unfolds over the next twenty minutes is a peerless jailbreak sequence that will have have you on the edge of your seat. Along with fellow inmates Freddie Jones and Ian McShane, Reed in turn charms, bludgens and Tarzan-style swings his way to freedom but rather than make haste to the continent and a new life abroad he heads to London where his wife, the sitting target of the title, awaits his vengeance.
There are certainly some shortcomings to Sitting Target, notably the underuse of both Edward Woodward and Jill St John (whose voice seems dubbed it's so devoid of feeling). But the film makes excellent use of at least three set pieces: the aforementioned jailbreak; a terrifying rooftop fight between Reed and Woodward and a quite bizarre cat and mouse chase between the protagonist and two police motorcycles through a yard obscured by hanging laundry.
Moreover it settles into a thoughtful second act that plays out a rather tender bromance between Reed and McShane as well as delving into the motivations and inner turmoil the former is experiencing throughout, and it's over the course of this period that we begin to see he is a good deal more than the 'animal' he is described as by the police, his fellow criminals and indeed the official poster for the film itself.
Sitting Target captures a London that is slowly being forgotten, a time when Clapham and Battersea (the final scene is backdropped by the famous power station) were ugly and dangerous neighbourhoods and the presence of a gun in the hands of a determined criminal was considered big news so it's a pity this film is so difficult to see though it does pop up from time to time on TCM and is available from the ever growing Warner Archive burn-to-order service.
Ollie Reed is inside for 15 years but finds his wife has been cheating on him and wants a divorce so hw busts out with one thought on his mind…murder.

Global Esports Federation Announces Next Three Venues For Global Esports Games
by Ian John
1 GEFcon To Run Alongside Global Esports Games
2 "Set The Stage"
3 Coordination Commission
The Global Esports Federation (GEF) has reaffirmed its commitment to bring esports to a global audience. It is announced that one of the biggest esports tournaments in the world, the Global Esports Games, will take place in Singapore in 2021, Istanbul in 2022, and then finally Riyadh in 2023.
Held each year in December, the Global Esports Games is something of a misnomer as while esports are a central theme of the event, it also encompasses many other forms of entertainment, such as Virtual Sports and Music.
The tournament will feature multiple esports games and as such, a myriad of teams from all over the world will be competing to earn a place in the games.
GEFcon To Run Alongside Global Esports Games
The GEF have also announced that across each of these three events in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, a global convention of industry leaders and business gurus will take place called GEFcon.
Also running alongside this will be the GEFestival. This will feature a celebration of the many different facets of esports culture including many different art forms, such as music, fashion, food, technology, art as well as much more.
It is hoped that as diverse a range of participants will participate in both GEFcon and the GEFestival, as well as the Global Esports Games, to provide a focal point for the entire industry at the end of each year.
Commenting about the announcements made just a few hours ago, the President of the Global Esports Federation, Chris Chan, stated:
"The Global Esports Games has drawn overwhelming interest. We have undergone a rigorous selection process. Now the work and creativity truly begin as we set the stage for the world's esports athletes and players to shine."
Singapore will be the host of the first Global Esports Games later this year and it is a coup for the President of the Singapore Esports Association (SGEA), Ng Chong Geng, who said:
"The first Global Esports Games to be held in December this year will provide the opportunity to showcase esports to the world. We are grateful to have the opportunity to host this truly historic event."
Coordination Commission
Assisting the three cities chosen as future hosts of the Global Esports Games will be the Coordination Commission. And the Co-Chairs of the committee Angela Ruggiero and Luzeng Song are keen to help the host cities make the most of these opportunities.
"We will lend our support and guidance so the host cities can unleash their full potential," stated Ruggiero.
"So the incredible untold stories of the power of esports – and sport as the future of entertainment – can be unlocked too."
The CEO of the Global Esports Federation, Paul J. Foster was also enthusiastic about the choice of cities to host their flagship event, commenting:
"We have listened to the athletes and players, the incredible publishers and developers, and the wider community to create a platform for athletes to shine, representing countries and territories as in other prestigious multi-sport competitions."
As yet, the esports titles that will form the central component of the Global Esports Games have not yet been formally announced.

Phosphatidylcholine belongs to a special category of fat-soluble substances called phospholipids (sometimes called lecithin). It is needed to repair damaged cells, for normal brain function, and to transport fat out of fat cells so it can be burned for energy.
Phosphatidylcholine is especially useful for people wanting to build muscle and lose fat, as it aids muscle repair and recovery, and may also boost fat loss.
Phospholipids are found in cell membranes, the "envelopes" which surround and protect the cells in your body. Phosphatidylcholine supplies choline to your cells, which is needed for the transport of fats in and out of cells. It is also needed for normal brain function, helping to transfer signals from one brain cell to another.
The human body can make choline by itself. However, additional amounts from the diet are considered essential under certain circumstances, and may aid fat loss, when combined with other lipotropic nutrients . In fact, animal studies show that choline, when combined with caffeine and carnitine, is almost as effective as exercise at promoting fat loss . A study of healthy women also shows that choline aids fat loss , and the injectable form of phosphatidylcholine has been widely used in Brazil in various clinical conditions where there are fat deposits in the thighs, hips, abdomen, and arms.
Choline supplements have also been shown to improve performance during endurance exercise (such as a marathon), but don't appear as effective during high-intensity exercise such as sprinting (where a supplement like creatine would be more beneficial).
Choline is found in soybeans, liver, oatmeal, cabbage, and cauliflower. Soybeans, egg yolks, meat, and some vegetables also contain phosphatidylcholine. However, the amounts found in food are typically very small, and phosphatidylcholine supplements are usually recommended.
The recommended amount of choline is 425 milligrams per day for women and 550 milligrams per day for men. Studies on choline supplementation show that 1-5 grams of choline is neccesary to improve exercise performance and mental function.
Short-term supplementation (several days) with choline tends to improve endurance exercise performance. Several weeks of daily use is required to increase fat loss.
Studies show that choline is especially effective when combined with carnitine and caffeine, both of which have similar benefits in terms of fat loss and exercise performance.

4th of July... Happy Birthday Uncle Sam!
When possible, ALWAYS use fresh flowers in the foyer!! I'm crazy about hydrangeas and the blue ones are awesome with our Americana theme!! I simply added in a few (ok, more than a few) American flags to spice up the arrangement! I also LOVE that I was able to display a photo of my parents from when they were serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois!! They were part of a performing group and their costumes are just perfect with our look!!
Throwing this throw 🙂 over the chair, and adding more flags by the legs, gave it just the touch it needed to go from an elegant living room chair to a classy "dressed-down" chair.
I love these pillows! Sometimes pictures just don't do it justice… That is the case here as these are actually made with thousands of beads sewn on to look like fireworks!! So fun!
Once again, my friend Clara from claranicoleshescraftytoo came up from San Antonio to put together this amazing 4th of July Arch!!!! She even did a time-lapse video of the assembly! Check her out! As with me, she collects her decor over the years but she said she got most of the accessories for this arch at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and even the Dollar Store!!
Here is a list of several of the items shown in the foyer if you are interested!
For this table, I went with anything Red, White or Blue!! The placemats are actually from my Thanksgiving "kids table" last year – and they work great :).
I also always love to have a lighted candle at a sit-down meal so I try to always include at least one! For some reason it seems to calm my kids down a little and turns a regular meal into an "event"!!
Of course, I just had to dress my Johnny and June replica swans for the occasion:).
The wreath around June's neck can be found here. The bow was graciously given to me by my new friend Beverly from South TX Creations! Check her out! She has some really creative items!
I think these watermelon mugs are sooo cute! Unfortunately, they are sold out but I may like the ones here even better! The water pitcher can be found here.
From all of us at the Houghton Home, we hope you have a very wonderful 4th of July Celebration surrounded by those you love, eating fabulous high-caloric food!!!

A rediscovered Leonardo da Vinci painting just became the most expensive work of art ever sold. The painting is a portrait of Jesus Christ called "Salvator Mundi" or "Savior of the World."
According to the Wall Street Journal, the estimate for the bid at Christie's auction house was around $100 million. However, the painting ended up selling at a record-breaking $450.3 million.
The painting was completed around 1500. It features an image of Christ in a blue robe, holding a crystal orb. With fewer than 20 of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings surviving and with this particular one being the last one "deemed by him in private hands," it is no surprise that it sold for a large sum.
The final price that the painting sold at more than doubled the previous auction record. Two year's ago, Pablo Picasso's 1955 "Women of Algiers (Version O)" sold for $179.4 million.
The closest price that artwork has sold for came from private sales. Paintings by Paul Cézanne have sold for $250 million, while paintings by Paul Gauguin have sold for up to $300 million.
The bidding reportedly lasted for 19 minutes and involved five rivals. Each bid increased in around $10 million increments. Joanne Heyler, the founding director of the Los Angeles museum, Broad, commented on the event.
She said, "I've been going to auctions for decades, and I've never heard that room let out a collective gasp like they did when it sold. It's hard for me to even comprehend that level of bidding."
According to the Wall Street Journal, the painting rotated between European royals for hundreds of years after da Vinci completed it. It became almost unrecognizable due to poor cleaning efforts. In 1958, it sold as a "school of da Vinci" work at Sotheby's for only around $125 USD.
Eventually, in 2005, a group of Old Master dealers and conservators advocated for re-authentication of the piece. Now, the painting has broken a world record for its $450.3 million final cost.

With GT Academy, Nissan and Sony PlayStation teamed up for a high-octane, multi-tiered initiative that catapulted select fans of the auto racing video game Gran Turismo 5 into the adventure of a lifetime - to accelerate from virtual racer to professional racer. GT5 fans competed for the chance to be part of the GT Academy, in which 16 gamers endured rigorous training and challenges on and off the track to crown a champion, who would then go on to represent Nissan in professional auto races in the U.S. and beyond. A major part of the multi-platform campaign was a five-episode series, produced by @radical.media for Speed, which garnered a 12% improvement on the timeslot for the previous year. As the campaign, which originated in Europe in 2009, revs up for another run in the U.S., with a reality series to air on Spike in the fall, you'll hear from Dave O'Connor, executive producer, Media & Entertainment, @radical.media and Brian O'Rourke, executive producer, TBWA\Chiat\Day, who will explain why high-stakes reality TV was the right road to travel for the brands.

Citizenship?
Where is your primary citizenship?
by Phil Ware (10/03/2005) | Two Minute Meditations
But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. (Philippians 3:20 NLT)
In the investigative aftermath of the terrorist bombings in London, the major news services shared an interesting discovery that caused alarm in the British government. In their interviews of adherents to Islam, they found that the vast majority of them felt a greater sense of identity with other Muslims than they did with other Britons. This was true no matter the ethnicity, race, or citizenship of the people they interviewed — including native Britons!
What I found odd was that this finding shocked them. What amazed me — and to be honest, what chilled my soul — was that most Christians in the U.S. with whom I visited shared this same surprise.
"Don't you feel closer to Christians, no matter their race or country of origin, than you do to other Americans?" I asked several. Having visited Christians in several continents, I have personally experienced the bond of Christian fellowship that transcends so many of our human barriers!
Some had a sudden wave of recognition. Others were puzzled by the question. Still others were convicted that they had not even thought of the issue of their Christian citizenship before they had spoken about the matter.
The people of Philippi in the apostle Paul's day were certainly pleased to be a part of Rome. They were a Roman colony — a little Rome with most of the same privileges of those who lived in Rome. Native Philippians were considered Roman citizens. Many in the Roman army retired to Philippi. They took great pride in their status. That is why Paul's statement from his letter to the Philippians — quoted above — is so powerful. Paul was emphatic: no earthly citizenship could compare with a Christian's heavenly citizenship. No other citizenship guarantees the future, makes radically different people all part of the same family, and promises believers that we are heirs to all the blessings of royalty in our Father's house.
This understanding gives us a sense of our identity.
A primary allegiance to the Kingdom of God above our allegiance to country, along with a higher devotion to other Christians regardless of their nationality, race, or ethnicity than to our fellow national citizens is not strange: it is mandatory! When our national heritage, political future, or country's survival becomes more important than the welfare of other believers in Christ, then something eternal has broken inside of us.
Far from being unpatriotic, this understanding gives us a sense of our identity within our national culture. Honoring what is good in our nation's heritage is demanded. (See Romans 13, for example.) Paying taxes, exercising our right to vote, and influencing our culture are all part of being light in the world's darkness and salt in the world's decay. These roles in our national culture are not optional; they are required. However, when we read the Old Testament promises about the people of God and re-interpret the Scriptures to make our nation the target of those promises — rather than the Kingdom of God — then we risk losing ourselves in self-serving nationalism rather than following Christ and his call for us to be radically his and citizens of his Kingdom.
What the world needs most right now is NOT a political entity that sees itself as a Christian nation. Instead, our world needs Christians of every nation, language, tribe, and culture to pray for peace and to work together to glorify God. (Revelation 7:9) Our world needs God's people to show that barriers that normally separate peoples and incite war between nations can vanish when the Kingdom of God is our primary citizenship and the salvation of all peoples is our hearts' deepest desire.(Matthew 28:18-20) One day, as John saw in God's great revelation, the following promise will be true: "The whole world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever." (Revelation 11:15) Until that day, let's be good citizens where God has placed us while we passionately remember that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven!

Barr says familiar names among those DOJ is investigating in Durham probe, calls findings 'very troubling'
by Gregg Re | Fox News | Published on June 10, 2020
Attorney General Bill Barr told Fox News' Bret Baier in an exclusive interview aired Tuesday that Americans will be able to recognize "some" of the names under investigation as part of U.S. Attorney John Durham's ongoing probe into federal surveillance abuses — and that he is "very troubled" by "what has been called to" his attention so far.
Barr asserted that despite the coronavirus pandemic, the Durham team "has been working very aggressively to move forward," and that there "will be public disclosure" of his findings. Part one of Baier's interview with Barr aired on Monday.
"I think before the election, I think we're concerned about the motive force behind the very aggressive investigation that was launched into the Trump campaign without, you know, with a very thin, slender reed as a basis for it," Barr told Baier. "It seemed that the bureau was sort of spring-loaded at the end of July to drive in there and investigate a campaign."
The Justice Department's (DOJ's) watchdog has identified critical errors in every FBI wiretap application that it audited as part of the fallout from the bureau's heavily flawed investigation into former Trump adviser Carter Page, who was surveilled during the campaign in part because of a largely discredited dossier funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

5 True Stories of Twins Separated at Birth
'Three Identical Strangers'
"Three Identical Strangers," a documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018, follows the story of triplet brothers who were separated — dastardly so, as it turns out — shortly after their birth in 1961.
The brothers found each other 19 years later by a fateful fluke when one enrolled in a New York college that another had attended. Almost immediately upon stepping on campus, Brother 2 (Bobby Shafran) was greeted as the well-known and likable Eddy Galland (Brother 1), which led to more than a little initial confusion. When the two met, what was evident to everybody else became crystal clear to them: They were separated at birth.
Shortly after seeing news coverage of the miraculous reunion, David Kellman called up Shafran and Galland with a kicker: He seemed to be Brother 3.
What followed was a blast of media coverage, including a few stops on NBC's "Today" show (including one in 1981, shortly before sharing their first birthday together), an interview on "The Phil Donahue Show" and a cameo with Madonna in the 1985 feature film "Desperately Seeking Susan."
Despite growing up in three different households, the similarities were jaw-dropping, as Kevin Fallon writes in The Daily Beast: "[T]hey shared the same exact mannerisms, even sitting the same way. They were all wrestlers, liked the same colors, had the same taste in older women, and even bought the same brand of cigarettes. Each also had an adopted sister, and all three sisters were the same age."
The story of these triplets turns sinister, though: The three, born to a single mother who gave them up for adoption, were purposely separated at birth for a "nature vs. nurture" experiment and placed in three different socioeconomic households. Over the course of their lives, they were visited by researchers, posing as adoption agency officials. But they were never told about the experiment, or each other, and the results of the study have never been made public.
"It was cruel; it was wrong," Kellman told The Washington Post early in 2018.

The Intruder Movie Review
May 3, 2019 Published by Shari K. Green
Best use of the word 'capiche' ever. Okay. I'll be honest. If you like this sort of movie, you're going to enjoy this one. I say that with confidence because of the performances. However, I'd like to suggest to you that you see it with a large audience. Their reactions to parts of the film, and to the characters, made it more delightful. My audience was laughing, groaning, screaming and even warning, at just the right moments. They were doing this as if what they had to say would be heard and their suggestions adhered to and because of them, it added to the experience.
They weren't loud or annoying. They knew exactly what I knew but were livelier and more drawn to act rather than hold it in. I wanted to say the same things to these characters, trust me. I mean, how many signs does the person up on that screen need before they do something about a bad situation?!? The answer to that question for 'The Intruder' might be that there'll never be enough. Dennis Quaid's character, Charlie, had free reign to do whatever he wanted to these people because he wasn't stopped… for some reason, couldn't be stopped. The quick take on it is that you'll be entertained by this talented cast… especially by Quaid! He's downright creepy as hell in this! Through his character, 'The Intruder' delivers one of the biggest jump-scares I've ever seen… and I'm usually quite prepared for them.
Here's the plot. A nice- and nice-looking young couple, Scott (Ealy) and Annie (Good) have moved up in the world and drive up to the Napa Valley to take a look at a beautiful piece of land with a gorgeous house. Scott isn't as crazy about the house as his wife Annie but can see it's potential. Annie falls in love with it immediately and wouldn't change a thing. The owner, Charlie, who wants to sell it to them, has a peculiar fondness for, almost a relationship with the house. In fact, there's probably a video somewhere that would disturb us all, that's how close to it he is. He does sell it to them but doesn't stop his upkeep of the property. He makes his presence known first with simple little visits to mow the lawn. These become more frequent and, at first, it's odd but he's welcome. Annie works at home alone while Scott works almost ninety-minutes away in San Francisco. She isn't bothered by his pop-ins but as they convert from pop-ins to a regular thing, Scott is more and more disconcerted and uncomfortable, especially when Charlie disagrees with changes and actually feels he has a say in what the couple does to their home. Charlie's tapestry… don't mess with the tapestry. Quickly, Charlie becomes a bit too chummy with Annie which has not gone by unnoticed by Scott. As I've mentioned, Annie doesn't mind the attention.
As we get further into the movie, we see what Charlie is up to and why. He does start to feel as close to Annie as he does to his home which is definitely unnatural. It becomes apparent, he now wants them both. Quaid then turns up the eerie factor, yet Annie still isn't alarmed?! Scott is practically banging his head against the wall trying to make her see that something is not right about Charlie's presence. Neither man is subtle about how they feel toward one another, either, which keeps you somewhat exhilarated. When Scott has had enough and finally confronts Charlie face-to-face, they square off with one another. It's an intense scene and the movie continues to build on the tension from there.
The way director Deon Taylor reveals the monster lurking around this couple's home is often amusing but works to terrify because when people are insane, you not only don't know what they'll do but what they've done; what they're capable of. They don't have a button that turns off the crazy and they can turn into something you can't handle. Something you'd never see coming. This is how Taylor approaches his desire to make his characters real. However, with what Annie and Scott have learned and what has happened… who'd be this shortsighted or gullible as to continue to put themselves in the role of the potential victim? Scott wouldn't. Annie wouldn't. I just don't see it as a believable plotline.
Nonetheless, its irrationality is what makes it worth a watch. Hey, Hollywood! Quaid has a new genre! He needs more of these roles. My view of 'The Intruder' is that it's a fresh take on something we've seen before. That fresh take was something I was appreciative of but parts of the script are a little too loose. The thought behind the story will be hard to believe… but for a revolving door idea… it frankly isn't all that bad.

The lessor asks the authorization of the Court in order to retake the apartment occupied by the tenant, in accordance with article 1963 of the Civil code of Quebec.
In which circumstances do frequent delays in the payment of the rent cause a serious prejudice to the lessor?
Following a judgement rendered by Court of Quebec, we do not believe that the burden of proof which a landlord must overcome in a case of frequent delays extends to proving that a mortgage creditor has filed legal proceedings against him.
In this case, the lessor requests the cancellation of the lease, the eviction of all the occupants of the dwelling, the provisional execution of the decision notwithstanding appeal and the reimbursement of the legal costs.

Return to Index A Priest Speaks
Return to Cycle A Homilies 2004-2005
First Reading - Isaiah 52:7-10
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 98:1, 2-3, 3-4, 5-6
Second Reading - Hebrews 1:1-6
Gospel - John 1:1-18 or 1:1-5, 9-14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; and light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him.
But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man's decision but of God.
And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth.
John testified to him and cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.'" From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father's side, has revealed him.
Ever since I was a teenager, I've always been amazed at the increase in Mass attendance on this day. What is it about Christmas that attracts so many more people to church? Why this day, as opposed to other days, such as Sunday Mass, which should see the church as full as it is right now? What draws persons in great numbers to church? Is it merely cultural conditioning that somehow awakens a religious instinct on this day that inspires people to come to church when they otherwise would pass this day by unnoticed? Is is familial pressure to not upset devout grandparents or siblings and to keep a false "peace" in the home during these holy days?
I would like to think that it's more than that. People are still drawn to church on Christmas because they want to believe that it's all really true - that somehow, someway the Christ-child is really the hope of the human race. They want to believe that His birth ushers-in a new era of redemption, reconciliation, healing and peace.
In the eyes of an increasingly secular world, the events that we commemorate this day for the 2004th time are quite illogical. In the eyes of the world, who would ever believe that 2000 and four years later, we would still be celebrating the birth of a poor child in an otherwise out-of-the-way town in one of the least prestigious provinces of the Roman Empire. And yet, the mystery of it all lies within the paradoxes of Christmas. There's what I like to call an illogical divine logic to Christmas. Consider for a moment that the story of Christmas presents us with the elderly cousin of the Savior's mother who is known to be barren until she conceives a son, who will later recognize Jesus while the two are still in the womb. We embrace a poor and unknown pregnant mother who is in a crisis pregnancy because no one will believe that she has conceived by the Holy spirit. Today, she is revered as the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Her husband is a simple carpenter of no particular sophistication or clout and yet today He is known as the Patron of the Universal Church. The king of kings is born in a stable, in a wooden manger, a setting hardly fit for an earthly king. This familiarity with wood will continue as he labors in his foster-father's carpenter's shop for the better part of His life and He will end up giving up his life at the age of 33 on a wooden Cross, another setting hardly fit for a king. There are shepherds in the fields surrounding Bethlehem, veritable "nobodies" in the eyes of the world, who are among the first worshippers of the Christ. We will later celebrate the Magi, wise men from the East, who are Gentiles and probably worshippers of pagan gods, offering homage to the Son of the one true God. Then, there is a blood-thirsty local ruler in the person of Herod who enacts the brutal murder of hundreds of infants and children for fear that his rival is in his midst, even though this supposed enemy carries no sword and has never made a political statement of aggression.
This illogical divine logic is precisely what draws millions to the crèche. Christmas is an invitation to faith - it is not merely a celebration of divinity taking on humanity. It is more than that - it is an invitation for us to believe that God, at times directly contradicting the ways of the world, is alive and well and present in the world and that He has come to save us from our sins and from ourselves. We come to Mass on Christmas because we still want to believe that the illogical logic of God somehow makes sense in our heart of hearts. We want to come and see and re-learn that the key to being great in the kingdom of God lies in our desire and capacity to be as small and hidden and as obscure as Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus were in the events that we commemorate.
Secularists and those who would attempt to stamp-out the very word of "Christmas" from the fabric of our national ethos are confounded by the fact that deep down within each of us is a desire for God - a desire for the transcendent God who comes to us, not in abstract ideas or philosophical musings, but now - in the form of an innocent, vulnerable child full of purity, poverty and yet serene majesty. The Christ-child once inspired a spiritual writer to comment, "By making Himself such a tiny infant, He cries out to you: trust, intimacy! Don't be afraid of me! Come to me! Have no fear in the presence of such a gently Child. He is indeed your God, but so very, very gentle and with such a lovely smile. . . Let your hearts overflow with tenderness, love and trust. (Charles de Foucauld)."
Christmas invites us, in faith, to embrace the seemingly impossible. The Christ-child beckons us to believe that God is no longer distant - now God has humbled Himself to take on our existence in all things but sin. He has made Himself vulnerable in order to make us strong. He has made Himself poor so that we may be rich. He has made Himself humble so as to confound the proud and arrogant. And He has made Himself our ransom so that we might have life everlasting. Indeed, God has actually condescended to take on our humanity. May we never forget the awesomeness of this mystery! No other world religion makes this kind of claim - that divinity would take on humanity in order to redeem it. This one life reminds us that all human life is precious and that every person counts and that one life can make all the difference in the world. This is perhaps best summed up in a composition called, "One Solitary Life," He was born in an obscure village. He worked in a carpenter's shop until He was thirty and for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never traveled more that 200 miles from the place where He was born. He never did any of the things that accompany man's idea of greatness. He had no credentials but Himself. While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends ran away. One betrayed and another denied Him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through a mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He owned on earth - His coat. When He was dead, He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave. Twenty centuries have come and gone and today He is the central figure of the human race. All the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that were ever built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon earth as powerfully as has this one solitary life.
May the illogical divine logic of God's holy and divine wisdom settle your heart this Christmas and fill you with tremendous hope that nothing is impossible with God - in spite of our sins, He has indeed come to save us! The impossible is not very possible and real. He comes not in the splendor of an entourage or ornate palace - He comes to make His dwelling among us in poverty, humility and peace. May the Blessed Virgin Mary draw you closer to adore Her son so that you may know that God is truly with us, that His love endures forever, and that it is indeed all true, not only at Christmas and Easter, but everyday and definitely every Sunday at 10:30 in the morning.

Master Plan – Summer 2016
Academic Phase – Fall 2020
The Toolkit for Long-Term Learning
Nestled in the woods of Plymouth, NH, the Holderness School revels in natural beauty on its 600 acre campus. Its highly advantageous setting plays a significant role in the campus' long-term master plan, where the impacts of building and development align with the school's larger mission to fuel the intellectual passions of its college-bound students. Guiding the master planning process, Warehaus viewed the campus plan through multiple lenses. The school's strategic plan, the vision of the stakeholders and Warehaus' professional experience blended to create five phases of work.
The Academic Phase is the first area of focus, further reinforcing Holderness School's mission to lead through learning. The design and construction of a new science facility focused on innovation, flexibility, collaboration and a thoughtful connection to the outdoor setting. The school's current infrastructure has significant challenges, from restrictive classroom sizes to outdated technology – not ideal for supporting 21st learning. A new facility allows for the alignment of pedagogical goals with spaces that support them.
With extensive experience designing education spaces, the team at Warehaus encouraged new ways of thinking about learning to gain insights into their future spatial needs. They conducted extensive interviews with students, faculty and administration to create a collaborative learning spaces toolkit – lists of ideal features and benefits aligned to each type of learning space. The program of the new building utilizes the toolkit for the campus academic program, including 11 different learning space types, including seminar classrooms, wet and dry labs, maker spaces, break-out spaces, digital labs, galleries, and faculty planning spaces. Classrooms and laboratories are adaptable and spaces of various sizes are adjacent to classrooms to support the flexibility of individual, peer to peer and small group learning.
From its life cycle costs to its future adaptability, the building will support learning over the next 50 or more years at Holderness. With access to ample daylight, use of renewable energy and highly efficient mechanical systems and LED lighting throughout, the design is mindful of the building's sustainability and connection to the outdoors. The conceptual design of the new science building aided the school's fundraising efforts by illustrating the promise of an enhanced academic program.
They also created a new, centralized academic quad by evaluating existing buildings, making recommendations for renovations and re-design as well as mapping out plans for future facility needs. Individual spaces, such as social spaces in dormitories, were optimized during the day, while classroom configurations in academic buildings allowed for multiple uses.
The master plan continues to evolve, incorporating flexibility for new insights and shifts in academic priorities. With a strong focus on building an innovative learning community, Holderness School can carry out its vision for generations to come.
