Q: Equivalent of ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING for UPDATE postgres I want to update rows in my postgres database if the updated version wouldn't violate the primary key constraint. If it would, I want to leave the row as it is.
Assuming the table has primary keys on col1, col2, col3, if I run a query like this:
UPDATE table SET (col1, col2) = ('A', 'B')
      WHERE col1='D' AND col2='E';

The query will fail and I will get a duplicate key error if there exists two entries:
'A', 'B', 'C'
'D', 'E', 'C'

i.e col3 is the same between an existing row and a row to be updated.
If I was INSERTing rows I would use ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING but I can't find an implementation of this for UPDATE. Does an equivalent exist?

A: You can use a correlated subquery with a WHERE NOT EXISTS clause to ensure that your update will not generate duplicates, like :
UPDATE mytable t
SET (col1, col2) = ('AAA', 'BBB')
WHERE t.col1 = 'AAB' and t.col2 = 'BBA'
AND NOT EXISTS (
   SELECT 1 FROM mytable WHERE col1 = 'AAA' AND col2 = 'BBB' AND col3 = t.col3
);

Tested in this db fiddle.
As commented by Roman Konoval, please note that this would still generate duplicate key error if a concurrent transaction inserts the same key while the UPDATE is running. This pinpoints that updating the primary key of a table is not a good practice (see the below answer from @Lau for a detailed discussion on this matter).

A: AFAIK, there is no such equivalent.
Let us say you are developing an application that connects to a postgresql database, there are a few things you need to keep in mind, in the context of your question:

*

*It may be counter-intuitive but you should consider errors being thrown by the DB as a good thing.
This is just about getting a status, it does not mean application crash.

*For insert, there is an alternative choice of action on conflict (update or nothing) so it makes sense to have a syntax to let you decide.
For updates, the only thing you can do is ... nothing.
So why would SQL let you ask to do something specific since there is no choice? Remember that DB reporting errors is good, so let the DB do nothing and tell you why.

*Last, it is a bad practice to update primary keys.
The ON CONFLICT ... for inserts is not intended to update the primary key fields. The very opposite in fact: it is intended to update all the fields except the ones from the primary key in a single record.

While I am on that point, please note that there was no need for a conflict on primary key for the query to fail
1 record with the "convenient" ON UPDATE NO ACTION foreign key would have made it fail too (which is still better than updating 10M+ records in 50 tables with a ON UPDATE CASCADE ...). BTW, did you know Oracle does not even have the ON UPDATE CASCADE clause? What do you think is the reason for that?

What can you/should not do in that situation?

*

*Do not update the primary key, like I said. Your question is still valid for UNIQUE constraints but please please please, NEVER update primary keys.

*Do not attempt to see if a conflicting record already exists. It may take a long time and still be unreliable.
Do you really want to select millions of records just to avoid the error codes?
Also, when you extend to other constraints (CHECK or EXCLUSION), will you really type the additional code it takes with no error in order to, once again, only avoid an error code?
Last, if you have implemented row-level security, the conflict may arise from a record you cannot see.

*Handle the error code in your app. Receiving status is GOOD.

*Use save points if you are in the middle of a transaction.
This is the only annoying thing with DB errors: if you get one in the middle of a transaction, you will start getting current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block for everything.
Hopefully, you do not need to roll the entire transaction back and redo everything from scratch. You can get away using the following piece of code.

Here you go:
BEGIN;
SAVEPOINT MySavepoint;
UPDATE mytable set myuniquefield = 3; /*2+ records are going to be updated */
rollback to savepoint MySavepoint;
/*Insert Some more queries here*/
COMMIT;

Green Beret Challenge Review
August 3, 2015 By Tretsch
Green Beret Challenge, Atlanta, 2015
Prologue:
This was a different kind of event for me and requires a different approach to laying it down on paper. I mean after all, this was the very reason the Grey Berets were created; a geriatric powerhouse comprised of Scott Bennett – aka "The Patriarch", Jae Lumley – "Dirty", Richie Taylor – aka "Mr. Pink", and me your humble "Scribe". Titans of Tendonitis ready to take on what the GBC was going to throw at them.
This review can't be just a collection of nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind. "Dead is Dead!" Wait? What? It deserves a certain level of gravitas benefitting such a serious undertaking.
Oh fuck it! Who am I kidding?
6:20 AM, Dunkin' Donuts– What the fuck do you mean there is no coffee?! This is Dunkin-as into coffee -Donuts! "Something wrong with the water in the area sir". Shit!
6:40 AM, Waffle House – She is taking longer to write up the ticket for one coffee then it took to draft the Magna Carta. By hand?!
6:45 AM, QT – Morning rituals are nice. Race morning rituals are a necessity.
7:ish AM, Fort Yargo State Park – I roll up to the parking lot and see my fellow Grey Berets already there.
7:30 AM, Fort Yargo State Park – Sign in was a breeze. I didn't have to. They had the team captain sign in their respective teammates. I heard of no problems.
Observations on the run:
CHAPTER 1 – WTF
The music is blaring out of funky LED lit (in GBC green no less) speakers. It's deep and primal, ethereal. It has a Cirque du Soliel quality to it (this is good in my book). The Grey Berets go for a quick jog in the woods on what appears to be the actual course. We get back just in time to line up for the start.
Dark green smoke is ominous, and I get the cool factor and all. One could easily run the movie in your mind of oneself coming out from this cloud in super slo-mo, resplendent in you sponsored OCR gear, the bodies of all the competitors behind you stuck in the mud of your awesomeness. But like the blue smoke of Savage Race and the white smoke of Spartan Race, green still tastes like a shot of battery acid with a burnt benzene back.
A short run through the woods and then it was straight uphill under the shadow of a massive power line. The Grey Berets were doing a moderate pace knowing we had some tough tasks ahead. As Mark Ballas told us during the weeks leading to the race, "the pain would be legendary", so we weren't gonna sprint to it.
We reached the top of the hill to find a wooden ammo crate filled with an unknown heaviness for two team members and a 10 foot pole with 4 sandbags attached for the other two. "Well I guess we're taking these fuckers for a walk boys!" So we walk, briskly. There is no running or even jogging with these awkward loads. And we walk, and we switch hands, and we switch shoulders and we switch loads. This painful pax de deux just kept fucking going. The sandbags are hanging by ropes and their gentle swaying is just enough of a distraction to keep us from reaching a synchronous gait while at the same time giving me a shot to the clockweights a couple of times. And we kept going. I knew we would be hauling heavy shit, but I was starting to wonder if we would be carrying said shit the entire time. And then the trail looked familiar and the realization sunk in that we were back near the starting line. Fuck me! This meant we would be carrying Satan's testicles and his wooden box of horrors up that fucking power line hill! My idea of bringing shoulder width sections of pipe insulation to wrap the pipes with was already proving to be a prescient move. We gutted out the hill and finally reached the top. Well, that was a fun fucking one mile loop.
CHAPTER 2 – Swamp Thing
Feeling light in the loafers after casting off the first load, we dropped into the woods for some trail running. After about a mile of running and general Grey Beret goofery we came upon a tidy but large pile of dirt. Next to it a sign read "Fill one sand bag per person and continue on course". There was no one around. This was basically self-serve misery. There was a large pile of sandbags (helpfully stamped with huge black letters – "sandbags") and the mound was stuck with multiple garden trowels like some sort of gardening Pinhead. We quickly reached an accord regarding what constituted full; to the top of the last 'S', basically enough to grab has a handle. I believe we were all inwardly thinking we didn't want to come across as a team of sandbaggers. OH shit! That's fucking funny! See what I did there?!
We quickly doubled back to wade through the foreboding creek we had only just crossed over via a cool metal grate bridge. The creek was the kind of waterway that screamed Southern Gothic meets sci-fi horror. The water was black as night, the sunlight held at bay by a thick canopy of trees, unimaginable horrors lurking below the surface just waiting to pull us under. All I wanted to do was keep Satan's fucking love lychee from getting wet so it wouldn't end up weighing more than a certain OCR elite's ego. (too soon?) The creek opened up to a wide expanse of water, picturesque in its swampiness. We slogged through the short distance under the watchful eye(socket) of a skeleton hanging from a parachute snagged in a tree. A rescue mission from last's year's event gone wrong perhaps? A few jokes flew regarding age and the Grey Berets. Spirits were high. The Shade of the trees and the coolness of the water were short-lived and was quickly replaced by a wide open firebreak. Our breezy attitude changed faster than a bride at a Filene's Basement gown sale, as we hauled Satan's man-satchels up one fucking hill after another.
The downside to a laser straight trail is you can see how far you have to go. The upside to hills is they obscure your ability to see how far you have to go. Either way we are fucked, as the bags weigh heavier on our shoulders and our minds with each step. I began to wonder what we would be doing with these evil polypropylene bags of hell. Would we have them for the rest of the day? Approaching the bottom of a particularly steep section of hill we came across some flexible plastic (body?) sleds. Each one holding two sandbags and no one in sight. There was a bit of confusion as to our next step, but luckily Mr. Pink had paid attention to the starting line announcements and was sure we were to continue upward. Ever fucking upward. Trudging on I looked back and wondered when we would see those things again. And we just kept fucking going up. By now I had shifted Satan's nutsack from one shoulder, to the neck, to the other shoulder so many times it looked like I was voguing.
CHAPTER 3– The Undertaker
We top out to see a grouping of coffins in the distance. I knew from the social media mind games Mark Ballas had played prior to the event we would be hauling these vampire sleeping bags some way, somehow. And now as we approached, I knew with the certainty of the condemned what we would be doing with the sandbags we had been carrying for almost a mile.
Each rope handled pine box of pain came with four pipes and six short lengths of rope (and a fucking extra sandbag for good measure) like some kind of evil Boy Scout vampire camping kit. Mr. Pink and I made quick work with some skillful wrapping and frapping while Dirty supervised and Patriarch posed for pictures. The volunteer told us we were currently the second team. We were stoked and this gave us a tremendous boost of confidence. Counting to three we heaved the Antichrist's assemblage to our shoulders, said a collective "what the fuck!?" and headed off into the woods. Almost immediately the approximate 300 pounds started to take its toll on my shoulders despite the cushion of the pipe insulation. This was going to be fucking miserable, and only made more so mentally by not knowing if we would return via the firebreak up that miserable fucking hill already traversed or from some other more gentle direction. The mood was lightened somewhat by a discussion regarding how terrible we would have been as litter bearers in the time of the Pharaohs. I am hitting my hydration pack like a tweaker on his last crack pipe. We come close enough to the firebreak to hear others making their way up the hill. We let out a battle cry; "GREY BERETS!" We at least remember our team name. Which is nice.
The trail was rough and uneven, and though we had lashed Beelzebub's box of baubles to the frame with the extra two ropes, it always seemed it would come sliding off. We had a macabre debate about the injuries that would be sustained should the coffin fall. And we kept walking. Sometimes the trail opened up other times it was not much wider than our rig. Shifting shoulders was becoming more frequent for everyone as the feet turned into yards and the yards turned into fractions of miles. But unlike the sandbags, it required a full shoulder press to make this happen.
And then it happened; A subtle shift in direction and the inevitability that we would once again be climbing that godforsaken hill. This is not what I was thinking when I thought we would see the plastic sleds again. As we make our way up the hill and the last quarter mile, the grunts and groans get louder the breathing more labored, the shoulders having become fucking mush long ago. But there are people ahead and cameras in view. No looking weak now!
As we were breaking down our frame we got a chance to chat with some fellow GORMRs. Well, that was a fun almost fucking one mile loop.
Chapter 4 – Sandbabies
We continued on the firebreak, gladly leaving behind The Undertaker. If we felt light after Satan's testicles, we were positively fucking buoyant now. The downhill run along the firebreak was like a handful of uppers after a 3 night bender in Vegas.
A quick left into the woods and I could see the backside of the damn through the trees looming over the trail. What labors of Hercules awaited us there? We arrived at the top of the damn to find another mound of dirt accompanied by a pile of flaccid sandbags and pierced with a multitude of more garden trowels. This time, however, there was a buzz of activity with volunteers, spectators and a videographer all very much interested in our collective misery. "Fill the bags to within a thumb length of the top. Just enough to be able to tie it closed", commands the volunteer. Fuck me! I mean we didn't puss out when we filled the first bags in anonymity, but this time the bags were going to be a good 2-5 pounds heavier! This is soon forgotten when a camera lens is stuck in my face while I claw at the dirt (garden trowels are for old English ladies with gingham aprons and pink wellies) with my hands. It's film baby! And no self-respecting OCR runner, let alone a Grey Beret shirks from a camera. In my mind I spoke with the eloquence of JFK and projected the sex appeal of Denzel. But most likely, if I don't end up on the "cutting room floor", I will come across sounding more like Karl Childers and looking like Redd Foxx.
"Follow the damn towards that tent and then follow the red ribbon off to the right" are our marching orders. A scant 100 yards and down the steep back face of the dam we go. And then up. And then fucking down. The two shoulder shuffle in full effect. Come on vogue! Then up. Are you fucking kidding me!? Now hugging my sandbag like a lost puppy. And then down. And then up (for the love of…..!), finally arriving at the tent.
Chapters 5&6 – Packs of Pain and the Swim
We stumble to the tent as Team Fantastic Four is waiting for a final teammate and wrapping things up for the task we are about to do. A GBC member advises us we have one minute to decide who will swim and who will be a mule. Though the swim was with an old school life preserver that looked like a reject from Minecraft and the water did look refreshing, I and patriarch opted to Ruck. I'm a fucking idiot.
I have never rucked, don't understand it and the rucks had more straps and buckles than Miss Kitty's pleasure dungeon. I had no idea what the fuck I was doing. While Dirty and Mr. Pink made their way to the shoreline to frolic in the lake, Patriarch and I pack our rucks with two sandbags each. We about kill ourselves getting them on our backs and I almost topple over shifting the pack from "cattywampus" to "vertical enough to get going". And off we go in a straight line away from the lake with 100 pounds of mother fucking earth threatening to pull my ass to the ground. We don't go far before the trail breaks left. "Great!" I say. "This won't be too long." Then it breaks right going away from the lake. Another left and I think we are running roughly parallel with the shore, somewhere "over there". And we keep going. Hints of civilization are popping up; a road here a parking lot there, a group of walkers looking at us with complete horror. My left shoulder strap is twisted and I know the ruck is not optimally positioned, packed or cinched but I don't want to stop for fear I won't get this beast back up on my shoulders. Both of us are walking stooped over like Yoda, less the cane. Shitty this ruck is. We weren't saying much, both of us lost in our own misery. But every once in a while we would do a "systems check" and crack wise. And then for the second time that day a subtle shift in direction (this time left) made me think we were on the back turn. But the slog just kept fucking going and my ignorance to the way of the ruck was only compounding the pain. Then like a glorious Saharan mirage the lake appeared. And the gifts continued to rain down upon us with the deliverance of some sort of elevated concrete manhole structure. Yes! Oh Yes! A place to set down the pack that wasn't the ground!
I miscalculated my selected portion of the structure relative to my waist height and ended up on my back like a fucking turtle, legs kicking arms, flailing. Patriarch looking at me like I was a dumbass. But I was free of the weight and it was glorious! We took a breather, I straightened my shit out and then we continued the slog. Shortly after we came to a point where we could see the shoreline from whence this ruck fuckery commenced and we knew we were going to make it. A short, and luckily firm, walk through the water and Dirty was there with a helping hand to get us on shore. The last 50 feet was a fucking steep brutal hillock upon which the tent stood. It's as if every extra little inconvenience was found to force one to dig deep when you were at your lowest. I deposited myself and the ruck to the ground with the grace of an acid addled rave dancer.
Well, that was a fun fucking one mile loop.
"Break down your rucks and carry the sandbags back through the way you came", says the GBC dude. Oh my fucking gawd! You have got to be fucking joking!?" We manage to make it back to the dirt mound without dying, though Patriarch did feel the wrath of a few hornets kicked up in the tall grass.
Chapter 7- Grey Matter
We are told each one of us must answer a question. Dirty's eyes go wide as he explains that he "can't remember shit guys!" I'm pulled aside for my question and I think to myself; "I got this. I paid attention to Mark's Tuesday tips. I did my research on Special Forces groups. I know who Barry Sadler is for Christ's sake!" Hit me!….. "What football team was the first to win four Super Bowls?" I swear I heard a trombone just before I said "huh?! What the fuck?!"
Of all the things in the world to ask, sports related questions are the worst. I do not follow professional sports of any kind. Football is a mystery to me with its billions of rules and hyper specific positions. I know less about football then I do about quantum mechanics. They took my surprise and epithet as a sign of defeat and were about to move on to my other teammates when it came to me, like a magical cartoon thought balloon. In that moment I knew my age was an asset where knowledge had failed. I grew up in the 70's and there was but only one team that transcended the line between fan and non-fan and was squarely in the realm of overall popular culture; "the Steelers", I answered. "Right you are! Don Pardo tell him what he has won!" Welllllll Alex, he's won the opportunity to leave that heavy fucking sandbag behind and continue on unencumbered!" Unfortunately two of my teammates were not as correct.
Chapter 8 – The Sandman
The Grey Berets, suitably beaten up but still going, head into the woods with two very full sandbags. The trail is beautiful, shaded and offering nice views of lake. It is a fantastic opportunity to make up some time running, but we just can't get the legs moving having to share the sandbags. We pass the time discussing all of our questions: Who wrote the Ballad of the Green Berets? (makes sense), what year was the green beret officially made part of the uniform? (makes sense, but required deeper B-side type research), who was the 41st president (tangential at best) and my question (way the fuck out from left field). But hey, it wasn't standing at the Spartan memory board with a sharpie, it was a challenge. As we come around a bend we hear someone bellowing "you old guys have all the knowledge!" We look up to see team Fantastic 4 on an intersecting trail to ours and they are dragging those sleds we saw 3 days earlier at the nascent stages of the race. "We had to carry all four bags, and now we're dragging them!" Well at least we knew what was to come. We continued along the lake until the trail turned left. "Back to the fucking firebreak" I groaned. And then the sleds appeared; evil renditions of the bits of plastic I used to sled on during the snowy months of my youth.
Not wanting to go one foot further than we had to, we selected the front sleds, added one of Satan's Cornish pasty crimping to the two already in them, and got to setting them up. "Oh goody! More fucking straps!" Luckily Mr. Pink showed me the way as I was too mentally fried to deal with nylon webbing gymnastics. Dirty and Patriarch had no such issues. Our hydration packs were tapped out so we made a move to top them off at the small water jug. "Empty. They have gone to get more", said the volunteer. "The fuck you say!" my brain cried. This spot was the nexus of three challenges and every team would pass through this point four times. One fucking jug of water was a slight miscalculation. "There is water up at the coffins" the volunteer continues with. This was great, because that was the direction we were headed, but it also fucking sucked because it was the same fucking hill we had just climbed two times before. Find a happy place, find a happy place. Awesome! Only a 150 pound sled and a quarter mile in the blazing sun between us and some high quality H2O.
And so we dragged the plastic planks of pain slowly up that hill, each Grey Beret trying to occupy the same spot of dirt so that both arms could be utilized for pulling. Again images of ancient Egypt popped into my melon. We were the slaves dragging huge blocks of limestone but without the benefits of large well lubricated logs. Exhaustion breeds bizarre hyperbole. During a short breather we look downhill to see team Fantastic 4 breaking down their sleds. We tell Patriarch to note the time. Ever upward.
We see some more GORMRs along the outer edge of the trail heading uphill with us. And though I pitied them for the coffins to come, we cheered them on while gaining some measure of strength from their return cheers. We reached the top and fell on the water jugs like dingoes on a baby.
While we enjoyed a bit of a respite, we were somewhat troubled to see the rules of The Undertaker had become lax to nonexistent. Dirty started to "help out", but we had our own fucking misery to contend with. We had to keep on keeping on. So into the trees one more time. The flat and/or downhill trail made for an easier time dragging the sled. We started singing at the top of our lungs. We were getting loopy. Along the lake (déjà vu) we stopped for some nutrition and some good natured lamenting about the extra two sandbags. And then finally we reached the end of this challenge.
We broke down our sleds, piled our sandbags as instructed and headed off. What was the time?! We were 25 minutes behind team Fantastic 4. I was sure this was the last challenge as we had gone over eight miles by now. I feared 25 minutes was too much time to overcome in our current state. We were beaten up pretty good, but our spirits were still high and we hadn't killed each other yet. The run, though in the sun, was downhill and we soon saw the lake. Our speed was less then blazing but we weren't walking. I could feel my legs starting to shut down as we approached the wooden bridge that looked so tantalizing from afar at the beginning of the race. On the far end of the bridge I could tell there was a GBC sign, but without my glasses could not tell if the arrow pointed left or right. If right, our misery would soon be over as it would take us past the bottom of that retched Power line hill and towards where this madness started. If left, well, I may have just curled up into a fetal position and started sucking my thumb. YES! The arrow pointed right. I felt triumphant for our team in what we had accomplished so far. There was no hidden gear we shifted into, fueled by the-end-is-near-nitro, only the labored breathing and occasional grunts of the truly tired. The blue arrows suddenly had us veer off the trail and bushwack it towards the lake. And there it was, the finish line, on the other side of 100 yards of water, minimal in its trappings but glorious in its proximity. The water was cool and refreshing, and as we got closer to the opposite shore people started making their way down to greet us. And there was cheering and it was grand. We crossed the finished line holding hands as one unified team, and after 3 hours 40 minutes it was over.
Post Script:
I'm not one for contrived platitudes or even heartfelt truisms. I'm more snark than serious. And I don't feel as if I have miraculously changed into a new person and my life's path will forever be altered. I'm probably just not that kind of a person. However, this challenge gave me a new found concept of what the possible is.
I was shell-shocked after this event not only physically and mentally but also from the fact that I had just done something I was not entirely sure I was going to be able to do as well as my harshest critic, myself, would have thought. This event was the hardest thing I had ever done and it was brutal and maddening and awesome and fucking crazy, but it's now a part of me. And I can now go forth in other racing endeavors with a touch more confidence and maybe dig a little deeper. At the very least I can always say; "At least it's not a wood coffin filled with fucking sandbags…….."

The question of where to register a dominion for our site Internet must be something very serious and must spend time at the time of choosing what will be the company in which we will deposit our confidence. (Not to be confused with Dropbox!). Like expert in the subject, I have happened through several experiences with respect to where it agrees to register a dominion. Many people only take into account the variable from the price at the time of choosing a serious company. Although there are many serious companies there are, them also not as much. When one chooses where to register the dominion outside the price, that can several nowadays only difference dollars, there are other variables important to consider. Among them the additional services that offer, like being: hosting, forwardeo of emails, creation of amount emails (that varies of course), protection against the robbery of the dominion and others. Others of the subjects important to consider, are the quality on watch of the attention, since there are companies that do not tell on telephone attention, and this causes that at moment that we want to realise a change it is to us respond impossible us in the awaited time.
These companies only have a service of attention to the client from emails and causes that in many cases it becomes more difficult to be made understand, and understand his respuetas that they estan loaded of technical terms that can be a headache for without experience in the subject. We have noticed that many of the Hispanic companies that register dominions, much more have an expensive price that the North American companies or others and the service is practically the same. For that the English cannot understand, the decision to choose a Hispanic company is correct since thus also it will be the telephone service.

Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S. Ct. 738, 160 L. Ed. 2d 621 (2005). Although we review Delgado-Aguilar's constitutional objection de novo, and will reverse only for harmful error, see United States v. Paz, 405 F.3d 946, 948 (11th Cir. 2005) (per curiam), his argument is clearly foreclosed by our circuit precedent interpreting Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 118 S. Ct. 1219, 140 L. Ed. 2d 350 (1998), Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S. Ct. 2348, 147 L. Ed. 2d 435 (2000), and Apprendi's progeny. See, e.g., United States v. Orduno-Mireles, 405 F.3d 960, 962-63 (11th Cir.) (Booker did not disturb Almendarez-Torres's holding that "recidivism is not a separate element of an offense that the government is required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt."), cert. denied, __ U.S. __, 126 S. Ct. 223, 163 L. Ed. 2d 191 (2005); United States v. Glover, 431 F.3d 744, 749 (11th Cir. 2005) (per curiam) ("[W]hether a previous conviction is a `crime of violence' is a question of law, not of fact . . . ."). Therefore, the district court did not violate Booker when it enhanced Delgado-Aguilar's sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines based on its finding that his prior conviction was for a "crime of violence." Even so, Delgado-Aguilar 2 was sentenced under an advisory guidelines scheme, so the district court did not commit constitutional error in sentencing him. Thus, we affirm Delgado-Aguilar's sentence. AFFIRMED. 3


Jesse took on the bookkeeping position for our Provincial Sport Organization shortly after I was elected as Treasurer in 2014. He has been a pleasure to work with all around. Jesse is reliable, honest and efficient at his work. One of my favourite qualities of Jesse is that he always humbly asks the right questions about our operations in order to tailor his services to our specific needs.
Our needs are complex, including government funding reporting as well as reporting to about 4400 affiliated members. He has played an advisory role when we achieved substantial milestones for our organization, such as bringing in online payments for our program registrations.
Jesse and his team have done an amazing job helping me integrate my business into QuickBooks Intuit. They are always available for troubleshooting and have made my life as a business owner much easier on a daily basis.


Thursday – UK – Bank of England Cash Rate remained unchanged at 0.75% as widely expected.
Thursday – AUS – NAB Business Confidence fell from 3 in the September quarter, to 1 in the December quarter.
The Australian sharemarket rose to fresh four month highs up 1.1% yesterday, as all sectors gained, with the exception of Utilities.
The Financials sector led the gains, with the big four banks all rising over 1%, Commonwealth Bank led the pack up 2%. NAB was placed in a trading halt due to leadership changes following the Royal Commission, which later saw Chairman Ken Henry and Chief Executive Andrew Thorburn both resign.
AGL Energy fell 4.8% after the company decided not to recommence share buy-backs due to policy uncertainty. The fall came despite releasing strong half yearly earnings, lifting underlying earnings by 10%, to $537m, and declaring a slightly higher dividend of $0.55 per share. The result was boosted by higher electricity prices. AGL maintained its guidance for the year.
The Australian futures market points to a 0.7% fall today, being driven by weaker overseas markets.
European sharemarkets fell on Thursday, weighed down by a downgrade to European growth forecasts, as the European Commission lowered its 2019 forecast from 1.9% to 1.3%. The UK FTSE 100 lost 1.1%, the German DAX fell 2.7%, while the broad based STOXX Europe 600 fell 1.5% after seven days of gains.
US sharemarkets also fell overnight on worries about the progress of the US-China trade negotiations. White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told Fox Business Network there was a "pretty sizable distance to go" in the trade talks. The downgrades to European economic growth forecasts also weighed on sentiment. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 both fell 0.9% and the NASDAQ lost 1%.
The report card on the US earnings season reads quite well so far, with about half of the S&P 500 companies having reported their fourth quarter results.
70% have reported a positive net earnings per share surprise and 62% have reported top line sales results above expectations.
The aggregate S&P 500 earnings growth outcome is hovering around 12% year on year. If this remains the case, it would mark the fifth straight quarter of double digit earnings per share growth.
The estimate for 2019 calendar year is earnings per share of around 5.5%, rising to 11% in 2020.
The last couple of years has certainly seen some outstanding US company earnings growth and, as expected, this is starting to taper off now.

Down East Maine Sensibility Meets Euro-Alpine Glam At The Claremont Hotel In Acadia
Paul Jebara
I write about design, art, architecture, and travel.
Sep 7, 2021, 04:45am EDT |
The glamorous, revamped grounds of the storied Claremont Hotel.
True design hotels have historically been hard to come by in Down East Maine, a rugged region between the state's Midcoast and the Canadian border. But that's not to say the delectably scenic, sparsely populated region (well, most of the year anyway) doesn't deserve one. Down East receives more than its fair share of seasonal out-of-town revelers, drawn by unspoiled nature and stuck-in-time fishing settlements studding the rocky coastline—and they've been long craving a new home base to savor the down-to-earth delights of authentic Maine. At last, the reimagined Claremont Hotel in Southwest Harbor is set to appease design-lovers venturing to Acadia, fusing local heritage and sensibility with a microdose of glamor reminiscent of Europe's finest grand dame resorts.

Well before its post-transformation reveal this summer, The Claremont had been one of the most storied accommodations on Mount Desert Island, where Down East Maine's main attractions are concentrated like Acadia National Park (the only national park in the Northeast) and its storybook gateway port town Bar Harbor. Located on six acres at the mouth of the Somes Sound, the sole fjord on America's east coast, the 19th-century retreat is now under the direction of Kennebunkport hotelier Tim Harrington and his business partner, Debbie Lennon. For the hotel's thoughtful redesign, they anchored the concept to the legacy of the McCues, the family who took ownership of the landmark property in 1968. Although it exudes a definite reverence for the past, The Claremont was also refreshed with contemporary features and top-notch styling to appeal to the most discerning aesthetes.

"It's an ongoing conversation: How do we deliver a nostalgic experience while layering on modern amenities?" says Krista Stokes, The Claremont's Lead Designer and Art Director. "We absolutely love the old craftsmanship of the various buildings and have done very little construction-wise so we can keep most of these details." Today's Claremont has been expanded to host 51 accommodations in total: 34 guest rooms, 12 cottages, four suites, plus a secluded three-bedroom waterfront Ocean House. The lush grounds also boast a lavish spa, croquet club, heated outdoor swimming pool, and a quartet of food and beverage outlets including upscale restaurant Little Fern and Harry's Bar. "We modernized the systems, making sure we, as part of our legacy, ensure the building's integrity and shore it up for the next 100 years,'' Stokes continues.

For help realizing the new project, Stokes enlisted Boston-based Keeler & Co. Interior Design. "We [approached] the design with the same level of care and attention to detail that was given to the building process a century ago, celebrating local craftsmanship, featuring iconic wallpapers and creating a bespoke experience that is true to the spaces and the history in each of the property's many buildings," explains Laura Keeler Pierce, Founder & Principal Designer of Keeler & Co.
For the interiors in the main guest suites and common areas, the team dreamed up a sophisticated color palette of blue, green, yellow and pops of cranberry and cherry that reference the surrounding nature and the island beyond. The serene shorefront cabins have a backcountry camp-meets-nautical mood board instead, complete with wood panel walls, stone fireplaces, and retro Americana artwork. "Arriving at the property, it's impossible not to see how The Claremont is situated in one of the most special spots on Mount Desert Island," says Pierce. "Add to that, the storied history of the building, a place that has seen generations of guests and celebrations—so much of the inspiration for the design is in sustaining that nostalgic, bygone era that guests have enjoyed for years on the property."
Playful custom wallpaper from Sister Parish, a designer with deep roots in Down East Maine, brings together new- and old-world charm. Fabrics and textiles were sourced from legendary British label Morris & Co., nodding to the sentimentality and the English influence that permeated American design at the turn of the 19th century. Scattered throughout the property are antiques plucked from around New England, as well as an array of artworks from local artists.

Inspiration was also found in old iconic photos of people in fashionable dress, enjoying the mundanities of everyday life in style. To Stokes, these visual references revealed how simple moments and places can be elevated—and appreciated— when there's more of an acute focus on details: "The gardens, the woods, the harbor, the smells, the mountains, the local people. All of it is magic," she says. "We are temporary inhabitants in this beautiful property and our sincere hope is to make it better for future generations."

Another poem prompted by music i was listening to, but this time i don't know what song it was that did it. All i remember was hearing the word 'pride', and suddenly i had an idea to run with. I didn't check what song was playing, I just wrote what had finally come to mind. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the read.
The man never let his knee touch the ground.
Too proud to ever give up, he always gave it his all.
One could say that was his best trait, but that trait led to his fall.
Convinced he could do it all, efforts to help he would not condone.
Shunning those efforts to help proved to be his biggest mistake.
The proud man lay broken and riddled with doubt.
There were some things even the strong need help to do.


heartland – Peoria - where his father became a professor at Bradley University. Education was paramount in the Tamil home and Raja endeavored to get the best America has to offer: Princeton Universitywhere he got his degree in engineering and Harvard where he pursued law. Serendipity had the young and ambitious Barack Obama in the same town as him, and soon Raja was drawn to the then unknown politician's campaign. Idealism and the urge to do good was never far away. Raja went on to hold the office of Deputy State Treasurer and various other positions in the state government. He made other attempts at elected offices prior to this one, including for the same seat in 2012 when he lost in the Democratic primary. So far, Raja, 42, has a had a memorable 2016. In March he won the Democratic open primary handily with 60% of the vote, beating his leading opponent by almost 30 percentage points and is the heavy favorite in the general election against Republican opponent Pete DiCianni. A few days ago he won the endorsement of President Barack Obama – only the third congressional candidate to do so. And four weeks ago he and his physician wife Priya became parents to baby Sonia. The couple has two sons Vijay, 11 and Vikram, 7.
Raja was in SoCal for a short fundraising stop on June 5. He came off as personable and surprisingly for a politician, self-effacing. Earnest in manner, his speech does not lend it itself readily to sound bites.
Q: How did a name like Krishnamoorthi play out in your earlier campaigns?
A: Well, I remember an Irishman hearing the name as Roger Christian Murphy! Latino voters thought I was Raha! There is also confusion on whether I am Tamil or Telugu. So I have figured that people read what they want to read. I just say call me Raja.
Q: You might benefit from the redistricting of your constituency. Are you a proponent?
A: Each party will try to draw boundaries to its favor. I am open to it being done. But the caveat is that it can happen only if it is done across the country and not in just a few places where one or the party has the clout to make it happen.
Q: What numbers of Indian-American voters make up your district?
A: The district embraces immigration. 40% of the district is made up of minorities. A majority of voters were born outside the country and that includes ethnic white. There isn't an exact percentage of Indian-Americans that I can tell you but I would say the largest subsect of Asians is desi, probably about 23% of that group.
Q: What are the main concerns that the voter in your district, Indian-American in particular, approach you with?
A: Education is big with Indian-Americans. Families struggle to save and will do anything to put their kids through college. But I believe nothing comes from giving things away for free (as suggested by Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders). I would like to see more high school grads involved in the work/study program of the kind that I was in. For others we should try to find the way to getthem associates degrees and vocational training. The economy and middle class survival is of concern to Indian-Americans. Intolerance of the kind that folks like Trump (Republican presidential candidate) talk about is another issue. They want the country that embraces diversity irrespective of name or religion.
Q: Are you representative of your district? How about the charge that you are too rich for it to feel its pulse?
A: My wife wouldn't agree! My district is full of working families, from blue collar to professionals. I know something about that. Thanks to god, this beautiful country and the generosity of all Americans, I am where I am today. In one generation, my family has come from being in public housing to where I am today (Raja is a small business owner – Sivananthan Labs). I am ready to serve and give back. I have taken it as a solemn duty. The job of the government is to give a hand up to those in need.
Q: What is your position on the civil nuclear agreement with India?
A: Its good for both sides. At the same time India should be encouraged to make more efforts toward renewable energy.
Q: Has Bernie Sanders pushed Democratic campaigns to the left of center?
A: He has brought out issues that needed emphasis. He has reminded the country of issues that need to be focused on. He has done a good job of articulating the inequality that exists. He has for sure got the youth to participate. Even in my district that effect could be felt in the primaries.
Q: Who are your friends in the political field?
A: Jan Schakowsky (IL Congresswoman), the President, Jim Himes (CT Congressman). My first interaction with Jim was actually adversarial! I deposed him for 8 hours in a Goldman Sachs case. We have endorsed each other Joe Crowley (NY Congressman), Judy Chu (CA Congresswoman) and Ted Lieu (CA Congressman).
Q: Give us a story about your early days with the President. Was he Barack to you?
A: Yes he was Barack and even now in unguarded moments (smiles). I met him first at a law gathering. He made the mistake of catching up with me after. I remember him saying that he had one more race left in him and the Senate race wound up being a storybook one. He bounced off his DNC keynote speech off me. But what I remember most about him is when I dropped by his law office one day and he was on the phone. It was a long call and through it he was passionate and forceful. It turned out it was some pro bono domestic violence case. There were no cameras, but you had to see his empathy. He is strong about women's rights and it shows in his family life. I think he has brought great dignity to the White House with his family and if I may, I would say he is a role model. He would pine to be with his family while on the campaign trail. Being with his family every evening was important to him. His first thoughts are of his kids. He likes Indian food. He loved what my mom served him.
Q: Where are your parents now?
A: I won the parent lottery. They were the ones who instilled a deep reverence in me for America and government. Appa is retired now after 40 years of teaching. He would tell me I could do anything I wanted – industrial, electronic or mechanical engineering! Amma worked at a hospital. She teaches Carnatic music. Appa plays the mrdangam. While campaigning its not unusual to have someone or the other walk up to me and say they know one or the other of my parents.
Q:Do you speak an Indian language?
A: I understand Tamil, can't say I speak it with any fluency.
Q: When did you last go to India?
A: Last year to Chennai , to visit family.
Q: Do you have a favorite Bollywood film?
A: You got me there!
A: Abraham Lincoln. He is of course from IL. From humble roots he reached the greatest of heights with an intellect that was capable of imagining a new America. He had generosity and grace but with a steely resolve that would play out well even today.
A: Princeton. I knew nothing. Had no real understanding of anything. The university gave me all the help it could, TA's reached out getting me up to speed. I was able to graduate with honors. They did it.
A: Americans are forward thinking and we have a love of humanity. What binds us will triumph.
Q: In three words describe yourself.

The Need for Large-Scale Experiments to Assess and Predict the Response of Ecosystems to Perturbation
Stephen R. Carpenter
Ecosystem experiments are field experiments in which the experimental unit is large enough to include the relevant physical, chemical, and biotic context of the processes being studied. Whole-ecosystem experiments have yielded insights about many processes in a diversity of habitats. Successful design and interpretation of ecosystem experiments depend on connections to theoretical, long-term, and comparative studies. Ecologists have overcome many problems of inference for ecosystem experiments. However, the issue of replication is far less important than the need to compare alternative explanations for the results, which may involve reference ecosystems, premanipulation data, and additional measurements or experiments designed to compare possible explanations. Potential limitations of ecosystem experimentation include the variability and slow dynamics of ecosystems, certain aspects of academic and management culture, and institutional shortcomings. Progress in ecosystem experiments can be accelerated through dedicated sites and funding, and keystones that foster collaborations between management and science for adaptive ecosystem management.

Thune Conducts Oversight of Pentagon Financial Management
Lauds Ellsworth Air Force Base Financial Services Center Contribution Towards Financial Reform
Washington, D.C. — Yesterday, Senator Thune exercised his oversight duties as the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support by examining business transformation and financial management at the Department of Defense.
During the hearing, Senator Thune recognized the contribution of Ellsworth Air Force Base towards financial reform within the Air Force.
"The opening of the Air Force Financial Services Center will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of Air Force financial services, and customer service," Thune stated during the hearing.
One of the witnesses at the hearing, John H. Gibson, Air Force Assistant Secretary for Financial Management, cited the Ellsworth Air Force Financial Services Center (AFFSC) as an example of a significant operational success.
"All told, the AFFSC returned 598 manpower slots to the warfighter, valued at $210 million, and more importantly, improved the customer service levels received by our Airmen," Gibson stated in his prepared testimony.
"I look forward to helping build on the record of strong, bipartisan oversight that this subcommittee created during the last five years over financial management reform efforts at the Department of Defense," Thune said in his opening statement. "Ensuring the taxpayer's dollars are well spent is all our responsibility. In a time of war it is even more so. Every dollar wasted is one less dollar for armored vehicles, one less dollar for body armor, one less dollar for ammunition, or one less dollar for medical supplies. Let us not forget that."
"Aside from business and financial management, Senator Thune's Subcommittee has jurisdiction over matters such as training, logistics, and maintenance, as well as military construction and base realignment and closure (BRAC)."
Also testifying at the hearing were Comptroller General David M. Walker, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Business Transformation Paul A. Brinkley, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Financial Management Peter E. Kunkel, and Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial Management Douglas A. Brook.

8/25/2014 As the United States expanded to west, Americans
As the United States expanded to west, Americans debated whether new states
should be admitted to the Union as slave or nonslave states. Senator Henry Clay of
Kentucky had proposed the original Missouri Compromise in 1820. However, when California
requested admission as a free state, Southerners protested. In the late 1840s, Clay offered a new
compromise to appease both sides of the controversy. Read the paragraphs under the heading "A
Compromise Avoids Crisis" in Section 1. Provide a caption for what you see in each frame of
the comic below.
Provisions of the Compromise of 1850
California enters the Union as a free state.
The territory acquired from Mexico uses popular
sovereignty to determine its status as slave or free.
Slave trading, but not slavery, ends in Washington, D.C.
Congress agrees to pass a strict runaway slave law.
Texas relinquishes its claim to New Mexico in
exchange for $10 million.
1. How was the issue of slavery decided in the territory ceded by Mexico?
A Congress declared the territory free.
B Residents exercised popular sovereignty.
C The new states' constitutions permitted slavery.
D Mexico required that the territory remain free.
2. What was one outcome of the Compromise of 1850?
Slavery was banned in Washignton, D.C.
Stephen A. Douglas lost prestige.
Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act.
Northern and Southern tensions immediately increased.
Use secede in a sentence with context clues. Circle your clues.
Two people will be selected to share their examples on the
How did personal liberty laws nullify the Fugitive Slave Act?
8/29/2014: (sec 3) Dred Scott was a slave who had lived with his master in free territory for 12
years. Following his return to the South and the death of his master, Scott spent 10 years suing for
his freedom. The Supreme Court of the United States had the final say in Scott's suit against the
executor of his master's estate, John A. Sandford, a New York resident and brother of the master's
widow. In 1857, the Court ruled that Scott, as an African American slave, was not—and could
never become—a U.S. citizen; therefore, he had no right to sue a U.S. citizen in any jurisdiction.
The people depicted on this newspaper are Dred Scott and his family.

2.Do you think this newspaper supports abolitionists or proslavery advocates? Explain.

In 2009, 'Street Fighter IV' revitalized the traditional fighting game genre, kicking off a decade of renewed interest from developers, players and viewers. Nonetheless, even in an era where competitive games like 'Fortnite' and 'Overwatch' are more dominant than ever, mainstream appeal seems to remain slightly out of reach.
This talk surveys the ways developers have attempted to broaden the audience for one of the oldest and most exciting genres in the industry. Noah analyzes a wide variety of games released between '09 and '19, revealing how specific design and aesthetic decisions can shape player experiences in unexpected ways.
Attendees learn about how the genre's design traditions have shifted over time, as well as the most (and least!) effective ways to make fighting games more broadly appealing while retaining their competitive core.
No prior knowledge about fighting games or design terminology is necessary.

THE 39th Annual Daytime Emmys were held June 23, 2011, in Beverly Hills, California. The evening was filled with glitz and glamour, celebration for all those responsible for putting daytime programming on the air, and, oh yeah, nearly two dozen golden ladies.
The Daytime Emmys returned to Los Angeles this year, taking their place amid the glitz and glamour of one of the country's most famous zip codes: 90210. The Beverly Hilton provided a more intimate, sophisticated venue than the Las Vegas strip, which played host to the Daytime Emmys for the past two years.
Though the ceremony returned home to Los Angeles, this marked the first time in the ceremony's 39-year history that the Daytime Emmys were broadcast on cable. The 24-hour news channel HLN stepped in to broadcast the ceremony after the major networks passed on airing the awards show because of the increasing costs of putting the show together.
"What an exciting night for the Daytime television community," said Malachy Wienges, Chairman, NATAS. "Daytime television is well and prospering as witnessed by this overwhelming turnout honoring the best that television can be. Working with our production and broadcast partners, LocoDistro and the HLN Network, we've delivered an evening that truly honors the outstanding work that happens day in and day out across all the genres that make up the Daytime viewer experience."
Indeed, the daytime community did turn out in force to celebrate the best of daytime television. The televised ceremony managed to squeeze 21 categories into the broadcast, and despite the fact that several of the night's winners were not in attendance, more than 1,000 attendees filled the International Ballroom at the posh Beverly Hilton.
But some unfortunate pre-show drama threatened to cast a pall on the night. Beverly Hills police stormed the hotel just hours before the Emmy ceremony to investigate the apparent murder-suicide of what had been described as an "elderly couple." The identities of the 70-year-old man and 56-year-old woman are being withheld, pending the notification of relatives.
It was another somber pre-gala moment for the hotel. In February, singer Whitney Houston drowned in a bathtub in the hotel in the hours leading up to the Grammy Awards.
Though there was a brief period of concern that the Daytime Emmy ceremony might have to be postponed or delayed due to the ongoing investigation, the show did go on as scheduled. Each of the four remaining soap operas was honored during the two-hour Emmy presentation, with a little bit of history made along the way.

Happy Motivational Monday! As you know, this has been a crazy week for me. Adopting a dog has been super fun, and entirely exhausting (in a good way). I've been walking Joey a LOT, so I've been getting in a ton of steps this week. I've been neglecting the deep water running a little because of it, but hopefully once we get settled into a routine, it'll be easier to get in my own workouts. Today, I went to the pool in the evening with the kids and did a deep water run. It was nice having the waterproof iPod!
I've also been SUPER sick this week. Yesterday, Jerry ended up taking a vacation day from work just so that he could help out at home and I could rest--that's how sick I was. My head was really congested, my throat was absolutely killing me, and I was coughing up a lung. I got a total of about eight hours of sleep in four days because my throat was hurting so badly. It's kind of weird how quickly I felt better, though. Yesterday and the day before was the worst I've ever felt from a virus; and today, I felt about 60% back to normal.
I'm hoping this week will be more normal--no sickness, and working out a good routine with Joey. I hope everyone has had a great week!
Just a couple of Motivational Monday stories to share today. Enjoy!
First up... my mom! ;) My mom (Sue, on left in photo), who is 62, walked a half-marathon in Hilton Head, South Carolina on Saturday! Considering she lives in Michigan, she's been doing a lot of her training on the treadmill and even with the Aqua Jogger (she tried mine and really liked it, so she bought one, too). A friend of hers, Isabel, who is 65, joined her to do the race. Isabel lives in Florida, and did her training with a 76-year old neighbor who walked 12 miles with her in one of her training walks! Isabel and my mom had a great time during the race, but felt a little panicky when they realized they were the last of the half-marathoners. Their goal was to finish in 4 hours (walking), and they came in at 3:57! The volunteers were awesome and supportive, knowing they were last--cheering them on, walking with them at times to keep them on the right path, and making sure they had water. It was a great experience! This was Isabel's first half and my mom's fourth.
Last year, after having her second baby, Diane decided she needed to do something for herself--so she started running. She began by walking, then adding a little jogging here and there, and eventually, she was running. She even lost 15 pounds in the process! After doing it on her own for five months, she gave herself a goal to run her first 5K race--and on her last day of being 34 years old, she did it! She even clocked her best time yet: 33:25. She was so overcome with pride in herself, and hearing her daughter cheering at the finish line, that she cried as she ran across the finish line!
You can check out some more stories on the Motivational Monday Facebook post. Congrats ladies!
Now that you have an iPod, you should download the podcast Serial! It's so addicting!!!
I think Martha was at the same race that I was on Sunday! Those look like the delicious IHOP pancakes that me and my sister enjoyed after our 5k in Phx :) They tasted even better because I met my goal of running the whole way! I was still a lot slower than these ladies though - good for them! I hope to keep cutting my time down!
Ha! Yep, the Runner's Den Pancake Run! I really liked that race - maybe next year I'll actually take my son, ha ha. Congrats on running the whole way! As for your time, I have been working on getting my 5K time down for what seems like forever...keep at it, you'll get there! My first 5K was somewhere around 44:00.
I just wanted to thank you for posting your trackers in December. They really helped me! I have been faithfully (and truthfully) tracking again since January 1st and have not missed a single day, even when I had the flu for a week. I've changed some of the ways I was doing to it to how you tracked (I asked several questions during that time.) I know it was a bit stressful when you posted them, but just wanted you to know it helped me a lot! I only have a little bit to lose and it's coming off slowly, but tracking everyday is a non-scale victory for me. My husband said he can tell I'm getting smaller even if the scale doesn't say so.
Congrats to your mom on completely that half marathon!


For Palm Sunday Dr. Paul Rader's sermon is "Let's Follow Hope" and the Northside Chancel Choir sings "Ride On, King Jesus".
Paul Rader is the pastor at Northside Presbyterian. Paul was born and raised in Ironton, Ohio, a small town located across the river from Ashland, Kentucky. He attended Pikeville College in Pikeville, Kentucky and began attending First Presbyterian Church while there, primarily because it was within walking distance of his dorm.
He continued his education at the Graduate School of Theology at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, and Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia.
Paul has served congregations in Ashland, KY, and Huntington, WV. and was the Coordinator for Mission for the Coalition for Appalachian Ministry, which brought him to Knoxville. He was a Parish Associate at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Knoxville and was the Associate Pastor at First Presbyterian Church, also in Knoxville, before coming to Northside.
He likes to read, hike, go antiquing, work around the yard and refinish furniture.
Lucy Blu, office assistant, and all-around good girl.
Paul is married to Linda, they have three children—Lindsey, Gresha, and Thomas—all living in the Knoxville area, and two grandchildren—Ava and Allie—also in Knoxville. He also has Lucy Blu, the Golden Doodle, frequent goodwill ambassador for Northside Presbyterian.
Stay up to date with all things Northside!
