A lot of you are asking about wood countertops and whether or not we do them often. In our experience, people who request wood countertops represent a small part of the market segment. We typically put in about 10 solid wood tops a year, usually on a kitchen island or in wet bar area. It always surprises us when clients come in loving the wood counters but assume that the wood tops we install are going into those "for show" kitchens. They think the only people that would choose wood tops are those who really don't use their kitchens or cook in them. Actually, quite the opposite is true. Wood tops seem to be most popular with large families with several kids. These clients added wood to give their island a kitchen table feel and to warm up the space. They decided to live with the little nicks and scratches that are going to inevitably happen as part of life with a wood counter… no different than your wood kitchen table.
If you have a real wood kitchen table that gets its share of beating up, is scarred, and has a few little dings, that is exactly what's going to happen to a wood countertop over time. I happen to think those scars add character and charm to the space; however, others may not feel the same. If you're one of those that want the counter to look pristine and have showroom-quality perfection, you really shouldn't be buying a wood countertop. A wood countertop should be used, enjoyed, and have life happen to it. Love it and roll with the punches.
Of course, if it ever really gets trashed, the beauty is that you can take it out, have it sanded, refinished, and make it brand new. This is not something you're going to do once a year, however. It's going to be something you might do once in seven or eight years. Mostly people select the wood species based on the color or grain they're trying to achieve more-so than worrying about a durability issue. Woods that hold up well to water like teak, walnut, and mahogany are the ones we put in our designs most often. We do occasionally put in maple, cherry, alder, and even bamboo, but it's much rarer.
So, what do you think? Can you live with a wood counter? Here are some recent kitchens we did with wood counters. Do you like the look?

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man." Hebrews 2:9.
The Word, by whom all things were made, became flesh and dwelt among us. But He who is divine is also Son of man — God was manifested in the flesh. God sent forth His Son made of a woman. Jesus Christ has come in flesh. He, who being in the form of God, and thought it not robbery to be equal with God, was found here in fashion as a man, and took a servant's form. He ate and drank, suffered hunger, thirst, and weariness. He slept, He walked, He prayed, He preached and taught. He resisted and overcame Satan in temptation. He groaned and was troubled, He wept, He was grieved for the hardness of men's hearts, and looked round about on them with anger. He so lovingly entered into the sufferings of those around, cast out devils, and healed all manner of sickness with His word, that it was said by the prophet, "Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." He was then verily man, born of a woman, though without sin, and in every respect perfect, spotless, holy, harmless, and undefiled.
THE SON, however, did not become incarnate in order to make Himself one with sinners, but that He might die for our sins, and, rising again, make us one with Himself. It is of all importance to see this clearly for how could the Holy One unite Himself with fallen and sinful men, who justly merited the wrath of God? THE SON, therefore, had a solitary path through this world. By reason of His essential holiness and perfect purity, He could not be otherwise than "separate from sinners," however much He went about doing good. There could not possibly, therefore, be union between us and Himself, until sin had been judged, and we were cleansed. This the Lord most clearly taught. Referring to Himself, He said, "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." (John 12:24.) For this we know the Father sent the Son. He came to die, for He came to save. In no other way could the righteous demands of God, or the necessities of our case, be met for man had sinned, and the penalty of death had come in by sin. He, therefore, took part in the children's flesh and blood, "that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver them who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage." He took riot hold of angels, but He took hold of the seed of Abraham, for Messiah was the promised seed of Abraham, and also of David, "of whom, as concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, God, blessed for ever." (Rom. 9:5.) Thus. Christ is both God and Man.
His life, here, however, was one of suffering. He was truly "a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief." He came for the suffering of death. He suffered having been tempted, which must have been deep distress to His infinitely holy soul. He suffered that, as the Captain or Leader of our salvation, He might be made perfect through sufferings. He not only knew every step of the way and every circumstance connected with us, as Omniscient, but He passed through everything that was needed to perfect Him for the office of Leader of our salvation. Though He were a Son, and thus could command all to obey Him, yet He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. His perfectness was in obeying in every respect in circumstances most adverse and painful. His love, subjection, obedience, and faith all were perfect. And having been perfected, and glorified as man at God's right hand, He is the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey Him. (Chap. 5:8-9.) Ah! who can tell the variety and depth of the sufferings of our precious Lord!
He suffered from man for righteousness' sake was hated without a cause, despised, and rejected. He suffered from Satan in temptation and bruising — "Thou shalt bruise His heel." He suffered (alas, how deeply!) by reason of His wondrous love for His own nation, from God's governmental dealings with them because of their sin, for "in all their afflictions He was afflicted;" and He suffered from God atoningly for sins, the just for the unjust (how unfathomable to us 1), when He cried out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" God only knows the love and sorrow that met there. What a death was "the death of the cross!"
But His was a victorious death; and, as it has been said, "He death by dying slew." He saw no corruption. His soul was not left in hades. He rose from the dead, for it was not possible that He should be holden of death. He went through death, and annulled death, and "him that had the power of death — that is, the devil." Thus He triumphed over death, and Satan, and the grave. The Son of man is therefore a risen, victorious Saviour.
When John was so overcome by a sight of the glorified Son of man that he fell at His feet as dead, the Lord graciously comforted His servant by assuring him that, though He was dead, He is now for evermore a living Person, and holding in triumph the keys of death and hades. "He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell [hades] and of death." (Rev. 1:17-18.) Thus the Son of man has triumphed. Death could not detain Him. He rose from among the dead. His was certainly a victorious death.
"By man came death," we know, and here we see, "by man came also the resurrection of the dead." (1 Cor. 15:21.) Hence we find that after Jesus rose from the dead, He showed Himself alive again by many infallible proofs, being seen of His disciples, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. He appeared in their midst, showed them His hands and His side, gave commandments, breathed on them, and said, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost;" and expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. When some who saw Him were terrified and affrighted, and supposed they had seen a spirit, He fully demonstrated to them the reality of His own actual and bodily resurrection from among the dead. He said unto them, "Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when He had thus spoken, He showed them His hands and His feet." (Luke 24:37-40.) Moreover, He led them out as far as to Bethany, and while He blessed them, was parted from them, and carried up into heaven; and they watched Him ascending higher and higher, until a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they stedfastly looked toward heaven, hoping to catch another glimpse of their precious Saviour, heavenly messengers stood by them, and said, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven." (Acts 1:9-11.) Nothing can more fully prove the reality of the resurrection of the man Christ Jesus from among the dead. This was victory indeed.
And, as we have just seen, He has ascended. We now "see Jesus … crowned with glory and honour." (v. 9.) We remember that He was in death, but we see Him glorified at the right hand of God. A man in glory: what a precious Object for our hearts! He that descended first into the lower parts of the earth is ascended above all heavens; "far above all principality and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come." (Eph. 4:2, 10; and 1:21.) There He is highly exalted — a glorified Man. There Stephen, when he "looked up stedfastly into heaven," "saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God." (Acts 7:55-56.) There we now have to do with Him. There, too, we know Him in new relationships. "He is not ashamed to call them brethren; saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee." "And again, Behold, I and the children which God hath given me." (vv. 11-13.) We know, too, that it was after His triumphant resurrection, He said to Mary, "Go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." The One, therefore, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, is crowned with glory and honour.
Now He is before the face of God as our High Priest. "Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto [His] brethren, that He might be a Merciful and faithful High Priest in things relating to God." (v. 17.) After having made atonement for the sins of the people by the sacrifice of Himself, He sat down on the right hand of God. There the glorified Son of man in heaven carries on His never-failing office of High Priest for us, after the Aaronic functions, but according to the Melchisedec order. He is not one that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but is merciful and faithful, able to succour us in temptation, to help in every time of need, and to bring us right through our pilgrimage to the end, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for us. He, who is of the seed of David according to the flesh, and Son of God, has passed through the heavens, and is our faithful, unchanging, and sympathizing High Priest; and when He comes the second time, and takes His Messiah throne, He will be, according to the prophetic word, "a priest upon His throne" — both king and priest on earth. (Zech. 6:13.)
He is, however, soon coming to reign, "for the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto THE SON that all should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent Him. … He hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man." (John 5:22-27.) Again, we read that God "will judge the world, in righteousness, by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all, in that He hath raised Him from [among] the dead." (Acts 17:31.) The Son being now at the right hand of God, is "expecting till His enemies be made His footstool." Man is yet to be set over the works of God's hands. Man (not angels) is yet to subdue all things unto Himself. "For unto the angels hath He not put in subjection the (habitable) world to come;" but quoting from Psalm 8, and applying it to Jesus, the Son of man, he says, "But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the Son of man, that thou visitest Him? Thou madest Him a little lower than the angels [applied to Jesus in v. 9] thou crownedst Him with glory and honour, and didst set Him over the works of thy hands.. Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet." (vv. 5-8.) Thus we see that the Son, who made the worlds, who became incarnate, who was tempted, who suffered and died, was victorious over: death and Satan; that He ascended into the heavens, sat down on the right hand of God, entered upon His priestly functions, and is yet to come forth and take His rightful place over all things, execute all judgment, and subdue all things unto Himself. "And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all."
No doubt one chief reason why the glory and perfections of the person of THE SON are thus so fully brought out in the first and second chapters of the Hebrews is to set forth the infinite value of the one sacrifice, and the perfectness of His priestly office; for there must necessarily be an everlasting efficacy connected with all that He did. Hence, as to the offering, we read, "By one offering He hath perfected for ever [or in perpetuity] them that are sanctified;" and, as concerning priesthood, we are told, there were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue 'by reason of death; and "every priest standeth daily ministering, and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices which can never take away sins; but this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever [or in perpetuity] sat down on the right hand of God." (Heb. 7:23; 10:11-12.) Thus, through the infinite efficacy of the one offering, the worshippers, instead of having to do with many sacrifices which could not take away sins, are once purged, and have no more conscience of sins, so that the Holy Ghost can indwell them, and unite them to Christ in the heavens; such have also liberty to draw near to God — to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, where our High Priest is, and where His blood ever speaks. Instead, therefore, of there being now "a remembrance of sins," we remember Him, who has by His one offering for ever put away sin. Hence, though sin is in us, we have no sin on us; for we are cleansed, sanctified, and perfected for ever by the will of God, through one offering; and God has said, "Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." Christ being now in heaven is the clearest proof that our sins have been borne, suffered for, and are gone for ever. We have, therefore, "no more conscience of sins." How rich and abundant is the grace of God to us in Christ
If, then, in virtue of the accomplished work of THE SON, the conscience is purged, the veil is rent, and He is gone into heaven itself by His own blood, we, as purged worshippers, have therefore access to God with confidence; our hearts are attracted to where He now is, so that we run the race set before us according to His word and we also take that position here which is suited to His mind. Hence the believer is looked at in the closing chapters of this epistle as a happy worshipper, an earnest runner, and a faithful bearer of the reproach of Christ. He is a worshipper inside the veil, where Jesus is, a runner of a race looking stedfastly unto Jesus, and outside the camp with a rejected Jesus bearing His reproach.
The liberty of access for the worshipper is here contrasted with the way of approach, while the first tabernacle was standing, according to the only ritual divinely instituted, but now done away in Christ. It was characterised by distance from God, for the veil excluded them. It was not rent — the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest; so that they never knew what it was to be in the presence of God, as purged worshippers. The priesthood, too, was of an earthly and successional order, confined to an earthly line of things (not heavenly) as between the people and God. It was a changeable priesthood, and often interrupted by death. There was also "a worldly sanctuary" — a place of worship on earth, a material building, which was the only one ever recognised as the house of God. Such was the Jewish order of things. Whereas Christianity tells us of distance having been removed by the veil being rent from the top to the bottom, when Jesus died upon the cross, so that the worshipper comes now with boldness into the holiest of all. The order of priesthood is heavenly and eternal, all believers being made priests, and Jesus the Son of God being the unchangeable High Priest. Worship, therefore, is not now connected with any particular building on earth, but with the holiest of all above, "the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man." Because the Lord's people are His house, there is now no building on earth, which can be truthfully designated a house of God. (See Heb. 3:6.) It was, therefore, said by our adorable Lord, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matt. 18:20.)
To attach the idea of a sanctuary now to any building on earth is then so far to abandon Christian ground, and to go back to the Jews' religion; which is not only dishonouring to the Lord, but far more damaging to souls than many imagine; because it throws them at a distance from God, and necessitates their requiring a humanly-ordered priesthood to come between themselves and God. This the natural man likes, because it gives importance to men; while he rebels at the thoughts of divine grace, and refuses the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free. But, blessed be God, we have remission of sins, and we have -boldness to enter where He is. Hence we are welcomed with "Come boldly to the throne of grace." Do we know what it is to be inside the veil, in the sweet consciousness of God's "perfect love," and in the enjoyment of "perfect peace," while our hearts at the same time are going out to the Father in worship and thanksgiving? It need scarcely be said that this is not the sinner drawing near in order to be cleansed, but the worshipper entering in with boldness, because he is cleansed, and has "no more conscience of sins." Hence it is written, "Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." (Chap. 10:22.) Our Lord referred to this remarkable change in the character of worship. He said to the woman of Samaria, "Believe Me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. … But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:21-24.) Worship, then, must be "in spirit" — suited to the nature of God — and "in truth," or according to God's own revelation of His mind. Happy indeed are those who thus worship the Father
At the same time the believer is deeply conscious he is in a world where Jesus was, but is not, and is running on to where He is. The spiritual worshipper is also then a devoted runner; and in so doing, he is exhorted to drop every weight which impedes his course, to lay aside unbelief in all its delusive forms that easily besetting sin — and to run the race set before him. (Heb. 12:1-3.) He is encouraged to run, not to loiter, nor to seek a resting-place, where the faithful Forerunner had none; but to follow on in the race with patient, persevering faith. Not with spasmodic or desultory efforts, but with patience; not looking to men, however well they may have been reported for their faith; but to keep the eye steadily on Him, who has run the race perfectly, who knows every step of the way, every impediment and temptation, and is now sitting on the throne of God. We are, then, to run the race set before us, looking unto Jesus (or looking stedfastly on Jesus) where He now is. Thus, turning from every other object, and fixing the eye of our heart on Him, the Leader and Completer (not of our faith, but) of faith, we must look stedfastly and dependently on Him, who has trodden the path of faith perfectly from the beginning to the end; for all our resources are in Him. We are enjoined also to "consider him," whose path was beset so painfully with opposition and trial; for when we well consider Him, who endured so great contradiction from sinners against Himself, we become cheered and strengthened, so that we do not grow weary and faint in our minds. The blessed Lord had joy in prospect, and so we have the bright hope of being with Him, and like Him for ever. We are told that He "for the joy which was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." The Forerunner is for us entered within the veil, and we are to run the race with patience, looking unto Him.
We are also to bear the reproach of Christ. We cannot now be associated with a worldly system of religion on earth, for the veil is rent. He suffered without the gate, and we are exhorted to go forth unto Him without the camp. Our place then here is to suffer with Christ in His rejection. God hath highly exalted Him, and has made Him the central object of His counsels; Christ must therefore be the true and only centre for the faithful here. False religiousness is as displeasing to the Lord as irreligiousness itself. Yet there is a way for faith in the darkest times. The Lord has interests still on earth of deepest moment to Him. He cannot bear what is evil. It is only the more hateful to Him, when His holy name is used to accredit it; though ecclesiastical evil is often the last thing which arouses the conscience. Still the word to the faithful is, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity," and "go forth unto Him without the camp." This brings its "reproach," but it is the path of blessing. To turn away from what is not according to His truth, "and, to go forth unto Him without the camp," is clearly His will concerning us, It may entail painful severances; but to be out to the Lord, and "with them who call on His name out of a pure heart," is the divinely-ordered path; and that is enough for a true heart. "Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach." (Heb. 13:11-13.) It has been rightly said that a worldly religion, which forms a system in which the world can walk, and in which the religious element is adapted to man on earth, is the denial of Christianity.
May we know increasingly the blessedness of being inside the veil as purged worshippers, outside the camp with Christ in faithfulness to His name, and patient runners of the race which ere long will bring us into His presence for ever: "for yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry." (Heb. 10:37.) When the Lord presents Himself as the "root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning Star," it is immediately said, "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come!" so we may be assured it is the apprehension of His blessed person that will keep fresh in our souls the hope of His coming the earnest desire of seeing His face.
"Thy love we own, Lord Jesus;
Thy way is traced before Thee;
Thou wilt descend and we ascend,
To meet in heavenly glory.
Soon shall the blissful morning
Call forth Thy saints to meet Thee;
Our only Lord, alone adored,
With gladness then we'll greet Thee."

Garway's family, of Herefordshire origin, had been London merchants for three generations. His father, one of the leading City Royalists, was imprisoned for resisting parliamentary exactions during the Civil War. Garway himself was in arms for the King; he was taken prisoner and released on parole in November 1644. After succeeding to part of his father's Sussex estates he compounded at one-tenth for his delinquency with a fine of £290. Until his mother's death in 1657 brought him five farms in Sussex, he lived in London, where he apparently owned some rather questionable property, since after the apprentices' attack on the brothels in 1674 he told the House that his losses had been as great as any other Member's. A bachelor of abstemious tastes, who 'abstains from all food at least one day every week, and at other times ordinarily abstains from wine and strong liquors' he was of 'excellent natural endowments and great reading', becoming, in the eyes of a Sussex neighbour, 'a walking library'.5
Garway was returned for Chichester at the general election of 1661. He was an active committeeman in the Cavalier Parliament, though he never assumed the chair in any of his 283 committees, and he was even more prominent in debate, with 325 recorded speeches. In the first session he was named to the committee for the corporations bill, and in 1663 to those inquiring into a Sussex commission to discover lands gained from the sea, and to consider the bill to prevent abuses in the sale of offices. By now he was associated with the opposition group led by John Vaughan. He was named to the committee of inquiry into the conduct of Sir Richard Temple, who had offered to 'manage' the Commons, and sent with Vaughan to the Earl of Bristol, who had acted as intermediary with the Court. But in the supply debate of 23 Nov. 1664 Vaughan, Garway and Temple all 'chanted to the same tune', and one which the government spokesman found decidedly unmelodious.6
By 1666 Clarendon had come to regard Garway as a follower of Buckingham, and his parliamentary activity increased. On 21 Sept. he was sent to desire the concurrence of the Lords in an address of thanks to the King 'for his great care in management' of the second Dutch war. He was teller for the second reading of the bill to preserve naval stores, after which he was appointed to the committee. Samuel Pepys, who as a witness before the parliamentary accounts committee was meeting Garway for the first time, found him good company, and wrote that he had
not been well used by the Court, though stout to death, and hath suffered all that is possible for the King from the beginning. But discontented as he is, yet he never knew a session of Parliament but he hath done some good thing for the King before it rose. ... Sir William Coventry told me it is much to be pitied that the King should lose the service of a man so able and faithful.
He helped to prepare reasons for a conference on prohibiting French commodities, and served on the Commons delegation to ask for a proclamation, later acting as teller for hearing a petition from the merchants affected by the ban. On 8 Nov. he produced a complete financial programme for raising £1,800,000, and acted as teller for an 11 months' assessment on land at the rate of £12,000 a month. The House preferred a poll bill, however, to which he moved his 'great proviso' for a public accounts commission. This was accepted, despite great efforts by the Court to flush every possible government supporter out of the theatres and bawdy-houses to vote against it; but later it was agreed that a separate bill was constitutionally necessary. The Lords objected to the proposal as an infringement on the prerogative, and repeated conferences in which Garway participated failed to bring the Houses to an agreement. He acted as teller for another proviso to the supply bill to deny the usual fees to Exchequer officials on money paid out by anticipation. He also helped to prepare reasons for a conference on imports of cattle from Ireland and to manage a conference on Lord Mordaunt's impeachment. Although the accounts bill, in which Garway was named as a commissioner, was lost at the prorogation, he and Sir Thomas Littleton, 2nd Bt. were among the 12 Members appointed by the King for the same purpose at the Lords' request. They reluctantly agreed to serve, fortified by the judges' opinion in favour of the legality of the commission, but it accomplished nothing. He came up to Westminster for the abortive session in July, and seconded the motion of Thomas Tomkyns for disbanding the newly raised forces, though he admitted that it might not be 'convenient' to address the King to this purpose until peace had been concluded.7
When Parliament met again in October after the fall of Clarendon, Garway was among those appointed to bring in a public accounts bill. He was not particularly prominent in the attack on the fallen minister, however, being more concerned 'to bring the House to mind the public state of the nation, and to put off these particular piques between man and man'. On 15 Nov. he criticized the refusal of the Lords to imprison Clarendon without a specific charge as a breach of the Commons' privilege. He was among those appointed to prepare reasons for this view and to consider the bill of banishment. Apparently he was absent for the remainder of the session, for he was appointed to no committees and no speeches were recorded. During the summer of 1668, as a member of the Buckingham faction, he was nominated to the Irish accounts commission; but Ormonde, at whom the inquiry was principally aimed, had many friends among the Sussex Cavaliers, and Garway stood down in favour of Sir Thomas Osborne. He was no loser by his forbearance, however, for in October he was appointed to the reconstituted council of trade.8
During the short 1669 session Garway was among those appointed to receive information about seditious conventicles. When the accounts commission reported he was sharply critical of the activities of Sir George Carteret as treasurer of the navy, and urged that no fresh supply should be considered until the charges had been answered. When Sir John Marlay described £300,000 as 'a pitiful sum to give the King' Garway retorted:
Indeed it is a pitiful sum to them that are like to pay none of it. Hopes that we shall not be in the condition of France, when all the money is in one pocket. This sum will set you out a good fleet, and hopes we may have something left in our pockets to get on horseback with, to defend ourselves upon any emergency. Would leave the customs appropriated to the use of the navy.
He moved successfully that supply should not exceed £400,000, and that it should be raised neither by a land tax nor a house excise. Always jealous of the Commons' privilege vis à vis the Upper House, on 27 Nov. 1669, during the renewed debate on Skinner's case, he desired that the King should stay the execution of the Lords' order against the East India Company, but 'the motion was laid aside because it would put the King upon too much difficulty between the two Houses'. At this time he was regarded as a possible recruit for the court party, 'to be engaged by the Duke of Buckingham and his friends'. When the House met again after Christmas 'the Garway party appeared with the usual vigour', according to Andrew Marvell, though they were not well supported by the country gentlemen. He was the first Member named to the inquiry into the wine duties, and was also among those appointed to consider a bill to prevent transportation, and the second conventicles bill; but of the last measure 'he was not fond', and he may have resigned from the county bench at this time.9
In the next session Garway was the first to be appointed to the committee to inspect the naval debt (31 Oct. 1670). Five days later he joined in the attack on the bankers, 'the commonwealth men that destroy the nobility and gentry'. On 18 Nov. he 'spoke sharply' against the proposal to collect the duty on imported spices by licensing the retailers, 'calling it arbitrary and tyrannical'. On 3 Dec. during the debate on the financial programme of Sir Robert Howard, he introduced a red herring by moving that any clergyman holding two livings should pay £10, but admitted at the end of the debate that he did not expect it to pass, 'but only to set a mark upon it'. Now strongly opposed to a land tax as 'a mark of our chains', he succeeded in postponing any discussion until the yield of other taxes could be estimated. Five days later he supported the tax on offices.10
After the attack on Sir John Coventry Garway was one of those who insisted on laying aside all other business until a bill to banish the culprits should pass both Houses. He was named to the small committee to bring it in, and later to prepare reasons for a conference. He retained sufficient City connexions to be given special responsibility for a bill to secure the creditors of the Grocers' Company, one of his rare private bill committees. He acted as teller for agreeing with the committee that the country candidate had been duly elected at Seaford on the broad franchise. He unsuccessfully urged the House to look for an alternative to the subsidy bill, and when (Sir) John Cotton I proposed to mention in the preamble that supply had been given to maintain the Triple Alliance, Garway objected that
we should not meddle with those matters of state which were not submitted to us nor of which we were not [sic] all informed; and besides we should be wary of interesting ourselves in those leagues, lest we should be called upon to maintain them.
He reminded the House of their former votes to stand by the King in the Dutch war which had resulted in an obligation to furnish 'very great sums of money'. A week later his request to be given leave 'to further his occasions' was denied.11
To the horror of the Opposition, Garway 'the Hector of the House' accepted an offer from his friend Thomas Clifford in September 1671, and became a customs commissioner with a salary of £2,000 p.a. On the eve of the next session during the third Dutch war he and Thomas Lee I, the 'bell-wethers of the country party' attended a meeting in which they agreed to propose a supply of £600,000, calculated to be 'enough to procure a peace, but not to continue a war'. But when the House met they proceeded to justify the satirists by carrying a grant for almost double that sum. In other respects, as Burnet noted, they continued to act on the opposite side, and they claimed that their action was necessary to prolong the session. Garway helped to prepare both addresses against the suspending power, and another on the dangerous condition of the Protestants in Ireland. He was among those instructed to bring in bills to naturalize foreign Protestants, and to give ease to dissenters. In debate he seemed to lean in the direction of comprehension, urging relief for 'the better sort' who would subscribe to the 39 Articles, 'or as many of them as relate to the doctrine of the Church of England'. He also favoured eliminating the renunciation of the Covenant, though he admitted that this concerned only 'a few old gentlemen'. He was prepared to grant Papists no more than freedom of worship: 'if you might see them in all their frippery, [he] believes you would not have so many of them'. On 6 Mar. 1673 he was appointed to the committees that produced the test bill and the address against the growth of Popery, and acted as teller for insisting that pensions to Roman Catholics should be withdrawn. In the debate on the Lords amendments he proposed, unsuccessfully, that the test for both navy and army officers should consist only of a denial of transubstantiation, which would, of course, have permitted the retention of nonconformist officers who were particularly valuable in the senior service. When it was argued that the King's necessities required a prompt supply Garway replied sharply that:
if there were any necessities they were not of our making; that we might have been called together sooner; that if the necessities were such, it was fit to inquire who were the authors of those counsels which had now brought the King to these extremities.
He complained that the House had been 'strangely represented' in the Lords over the test, and acted as teller for the unsuccessful motion to consider the general naturalization bill in grand committee. Together with the Anglican diehard Giles Strangways he opposed the Lords' proviso to the bill of ease in favour of the suspending power, and helped to draw up reasons for disagreeing.12
In the autumn session Garway refused to join in the attack on the new Speaker, Edward Seymour, but was included by Sir William Temple in the most extreme opposition grouping. He opposed an immediate vote of thanks for the speech from the throne and was among those named to draw up the address against the Duke of York's second marriage. On the same day he proposed a religious test for Members of both Houses, and was appointed to the committee to bring in a bill. With (Sir) William Coventry, he was considered the only Member capable of inducing the House to attack the French alliance, and fear of losing his post did not, as the King hoped, act as a deterrent. In January 1674 he joined in the attack on the surviving ministers of the Cabal, but defended 'his dead friend' Clifford. More surprisingly, unless he already had his eye on the Arundel constituency, he gave qualified support to the petition of Bernard Howard for relief from the recusancy laws, though not so as to qualify him for employment in the state or militia. When Charles asked for the 'advice and assistance' of the House on the terms of peace proferred by the Dutch, Garway asserted that they were solely the King's concern, since the Commons 'had no hand in advising the war', and he complained of the 'darkness' in which they had been kept. Despite his evident willingness to obstruct business he was on the committee ordered to prepare reasons for the peace and helped to manage the conference with the Lords. He again displayed his aversion to standing armies, saying that 'in all his reading [he] has found that these established guards have been the ruin of most princes', and he moved for an address against them. He supported the bills to prevent transportation and illegal exactions, and was also appointed to the committee on the bill for judges' patents to be irrevocable except for misbehaviour. He appears to have sympathized with Pepys, who had been involved in a disputed return at Castle Rising on the Howard interest, moving to receive the report of the elections committee, demanding that the grounds for the charge of Popery should be clearly stated, and accompanying Coventry and Meres to receive an explanation from Lord Shaftesbury ( Sir Anthony Ashley Cooper) when he was revealed as the originator of the rumours.13
Garway began the spring session of 1675 by opposing the usual vote of thanks for the King's speech. On 19 Apr. he denounced the assistance given to French imperialism by British policy. Though his request for 'a representation ... of the state of this kingdom in reference to France' was not liked by the House, he continued to press for the recall of all British subjects from the French service. He supported the proposal to register the Papists 'and no other dissenters' at quarter sessions. He expressed dissatisfaction at the retention of Lauderdale but defended Osborne, now Lord Treasurer Danby, in the impeachment debate, though bluntly critical of his policies. When the proposal to appropriate the customs revenue to the use of the navy was revived, he was the first Member appointed to bring in a bill. He allowed his hostility to the pretensions of the Upper House to outweigh all other considerations when he supported the commitment of his neighbour John Fagg I to the Tower for complying with the Lords, and no Member entered more vigorously into the dispute. He helped to draw up reasons for, or to manage, several conferences, and spoke on at least a dozen occasions. In the autumn session he opposed the Government's naval programme, queried Pepys's figures on the strength of the French and Dutch navies, and supported the motion that any money granted should be entrusted to the City rather than the Exchequer. When the Shirley v. Fagg dispute was again brought up he urged the House to proceed 'with such care and tenderness ... as not to lose the fruits of this session', but he was still firmly against the appellate jurisdiction of the Lords, and when the motion denying it failed, he remarked 'privately' that
by this vote you may get your privilege for a few of us and lose the judicature upon the whole commons of England, besides the endangering never raising the spirit of the House in it again.
He was named as usual to the principal committees of political importance, including those to examine dangerous books and to ensure the Protestant education of the royal children.14
Soon after Parliament rose Garway met the fate which had been confidently announced for him two years before, and was dismissed from the customs board. His removal, it was subsequently stated, 'lost the King £100,000 a year', and he certainly seems to have understood the significance of the incipient trade boom, which by increasing the revenue threatened parliamentary control. But in 1677 Shaftesbury appears to have marked him initially 'vile', or perhaps 'neutral', because he did not support the contention that the long recess had automatically entailed a dissolution. On 15 Feb. he described himself as 'one who believes this as good a Parliament as when we first sat', though he was 'not very fond of it neither'. He helped to consider another petition from Howard, and cited medical opinion to show that the mad duke of Norfolk could be brought home from Italy without danger. He seconded Sir Harbottle Grimston in demanding that discussion of supply and grievances should 'go hand in hand, every other day'. He manifested his distrust of the Admiralty, and urged the House to proceed with caution over supply. He voted for a land tax for a year to be the freer to demand the withdrawal of the additional excise, lest it become a perpetuity and 'there shall be no occasion for your meeting when there is none for money'. He spoke out strongly on the danger of French power, and was one of those charged with drafting an address and managing a conference on the subject. When the King's answer proved unsatisfactory, Garway reluctantly proposed a further address, promising assistance in a war, but not to the extent 'of lives and fortunes', and was on the committee to draft it. He appears to have redeemed himself in Shaftesbury's eyes, and his rating was by stages adjusted to 'doubly worthy'.15
Garway entered freely into the heated debates on foreign policy in 1678, and helped to draw up the address for reducing France to her frontiers of 1659. Totally reversing his notorious proposal of March 1673, he now urged Members to vote only half the million pounds demanded by the Government to finance a war. After repeatedly reproaching the ministers for keeping the House in ignorance of the true nature of the alliances, he was appointed to the committee to summarize them. He was also among those ordered to bring in bills to reform the bankruptcy laws and to secure the Protestant religion. By 30 May, 'seeing there are no hopes of war, which I would willingly have gone on with', he was urging the immediate disbandment of all forces raised in the preceding eight months. Complaining that he personally was 'taxed to the utmost', he declared the further demand in the King's speech of 18 June to exceed the ability of the country. 'This looks to me of a strange nature', he concluded ominously, 'as if the House of Commons were never to come here more; I know not how to comply with it.' His last recorded attendance in the Cavalier Parliament was three days later, when he acted as teller against the return of the court candidate at Westbury, and he was apparently absent for the whole of the stormy final session after the Popish Plot.16
The Howard interest which Garway had cultivated was swept away by the Popish Plot; but he was returned for Arundel, two miles from his home, to the Exclusion Parliaments without known opposition, and marked 'worthy' on Shaftesbury's list. Again an active Member, he was appointed to 15 committees and made 50 speeches in 1679. He advised the House to insist on their choice of Seymour for Speaker. 'I would not give the King offence', he said, 'but [I would] not part with one hair of our right. If you will not stand to it here, you will have a great many things put upon you.' Although he described Danby as his former friend, he helped to draft the summons to him to give himself up and objected to his pardon. He took part in drawing up the address which characterized it as illegal and in managing a conference on the subject. He was also appointed to the committee for the attainder bill and until it should pass the Lords would not even consider supply, complaining that they had reduced the penalty to mere banishment. He was anxious to complete disbandment, and helped to draw up reasons for a conference. While unprepared to lay the blame for the Popish Plot entirely at the Duke of York's door, he had no doubt that his religion had been a great cause of it. On 14 May he laid down further conditions for supply in a resolution
that this House will not enter upon consideration to charge the subjects till effectual security be taken to preserve the King's Protestant subjects, the priests executed, and the lords in the Tower tried.
On 20 May he joined in the attack on Pepys, asserting that 'we have a land plot, this is a sea plot'. But he was absent from the vote on the exclusion bill, and in the last week of the session returned to the attack on Danby's pardon, being among those ordered to prepare the answer on methods of proceedings over impeachments. During the examination of (Sir) Stephen Fox he had admitted that he was 'conversant' with the method of secret service payments, and after the dissolution he was given 300 guineas by the French ambassador, presumably for his vigour in supporting the disbandment of the army and the impeachment of the lord treasurer.17
When the second Exclusion Parliament met, Garway declared that petitioning was 'the undoubted right of the subject', though he had himself been neither Petitioner nor Abhorrer. He was appointed to the inquiries into the conduct of Sir Robert Peyton and into abhorring, though determined that a hearing should not be denied to individual offenders. He also took part in drafting the addresses asking for a full pardon for informers and representing the dangerous state of the kingdom, and in managing conferences on the Irish plot and the method of trying Lord Stafford. He came out firmly against exclusion on 2 Nov. 1680.
I hope the prudence of this House may find out some expedient to secure the nation, more likely to be brought to perfection, than this of the exclusion bill. ... For my part, I am more afraid of an army without a general than a general without an army; and therefore I think that if instead of ordering a committee to bring in a bill for disinheriting the Duke, you bring in a bill for banishing all the Papists out of the nation, and other bills for having of frequent Parliaments, and to secure good judges and justices, that so the laws you have already, as well as what more you may make, may be duly executed, it may do as well, and may be more likely to have success.
In the debate on the second reading he exploited the divisions in the country party over the succession by demanding that the bill should contain
some general expression that no Protestant heir be excluded [from] the succession. If we will not do something of that nature, it looks like setting up a commonwealth.
He opposed the attack on Lord Halifax and unsuccessfully moved the recommittal of the address for his removal. After commenting on the King's speech of 15 Dec. that he 'would have a real, and not a verbal satisfaction' for property and the security of the Protestant religion, he helped to draft the reply. He strongly supported the introduction of a bill to banish Papists, but warned the House to 'take heed you do not forget Protestants'. He urged unity with dissenters, 'for that disjunction has made you weak'. He again asserted the necessity of disbandment, declaring that 'as long as we have standing forces in the kingdom, I fear they will cut all our throats'. He had again been an active Member of the second Exclusion Parliament, with 12 committees and 25 speeches. But as one of the leading 'men of expedients' in the Oxford Parliament, he was named only to the committee of elections and privileges, and spoke only in the debate on the disappearance of the bill to repeal the Elizabethan statute against Protestant dissenters. This was 'such a breach of the constitution of Parliament', he considered 'that it is in vain to pass any bill if this be not searched into'. But his zeal for Protestant unity was not sufficient, in the eyes of the Sussex dissenters, to outweigh his dislike of exclusion, and they did not adopt him as one of their candidates in 1682.18
Garway's interest at Arundel, however, was unshaken, and there is no evidence of a contest in 1685. He was only moderately active in James II's Parliament, with three committees. When the Government broke with precedent by moving for supply on the first day of the session, he told the House that it was customary to follow the King's speech by reading a bill. He was named to the committee of elections and was among those ordered to inspect the accounts of the disbandment commissioners and to bring in the bill for the general naturalization of foreign Protestants. On 22 June, however, he was given leave to go into the country for his health, and there is no evidence that he returned to Westminster after the recess. He was listed among the Opposition as 'considerable for parts' but 'not to be trusted'. Nevertheless he was approved, doubtless on Howard's recommendation, as deputy lieutenant and j.p. in May 1688, and the royal agents reported that his seat was safe. At the Revolution he attended the meeting of Members of Charles II's Parliaments, helped to draft the address to William of Orange for a general election, and expressed his willingness to sign the Association.19
Re-elected to the Convention, though relegated to the junior seat, Garway resumed an active rôle, being named to 55 committees and making 95 recorded speeches. When the House first met he opened the debate on William's letter. 'All England is sensible of the great deliverance we have had from Popery and slavery', he said, and moved to desire the Prince 'to take the administration of the Government upon him'. He was appointed to the committee to draft an address accordingly, and on 29 Jan. 1689 initiated another address for stopping ships from sailing to France. It is clear that he supported the transfer of the crown to William, but on the necessity of constitutional guarantees he was forthright:
We have had such violations of our liberties in the last reigns that the Prince of Orange cannot take it ill if we make conditions to secure ourselves for the future, and in it we shall but do justice to those who sent us hither.
He was among those who prepared the declaration of rights and managed the conference on James II's 'abdication' and the 'vacancy' of the throne. In a debate on supply on 11 Mar. he urged the House to distinguish between a standing revenue and a tax imposed for a limited period. He was appointed to the committees for suspending habeas corpus, the first mutiny bill, and the bill of rights. He repeated his arguments against the sacramental test, especially its effects on the navy, and wished to modify the coronation oath:
I would have the church doors made wider. ... In order to that I move that the King ... swear to maintain the Protestant religion as it is, or shall be, established by law.
But attempts to provide for parliamentary alterations in the Establishment were unacceptable to the House, though he was appointed to the committee to bring in a comprehension bill. He helped to draw up the addresses thanking the King for his promise to maintain the Church and undertaking to support a war with France. He helped to prepare reasons for imposing the new oaths on the clergy and rejecting the Lords' claim to name commissioners for the poll-tax. He was among those ordered to take care of the militia bill, which was designed to set up a counterweight to the professional army, but it failed at the prorogation. When indemnity was debated on 14 May, he followed the Whig line that 'things' should be considered rather than 'persons', for punishment. He would not dabble in blood, 'but from pecuniary penalties I would not exempt them'. He enlarged upon this two days later, saying that he 'would not destroy families, but leave them a livelihood and no more'. After serving on the inquiry into the delay in the relief of Londonderry, however, he came to the conclusion that the main cause of miscarriages was that 'we are not quicker with our money to supply the present emergencies of the Government', and he proposed, unsuccessfully, that the House should give supply priority over indemnity, though he was on the committee for the bill. He sought to resolve differences between the Houses by declaring that a bill to reverse the conviction of Oates would suffice. On 1 July, two days after receiving leave to go into the country he was appointed to the committee to ask permission to inspect the Privy Council records about Ireland, and he was certainly at Westminster on the eve of the recess when he reversed his attitude over supply and told Richard Hampden that the House had already given enough for one year.20
When Parliament reconvened in the autumn Garway was highly critical of the conduct of the war. He was appointed to the inquiry into war expenditure and described the account of forces in being, submitted by Lord Ranelagh (Richard Jones), as the worst he had ever seen in his life. He now recognized the need for further supply, not exceeding £2,000,000, because 'he would not be cozened', and the House accepted his proposal that two-thirds of the grant should be raised by a land tax. He considered that 'some exemplary thing' should be done to George Churchill for requiring money for convoying merchantmen, and, after joining vigorously in the attack on Commissary Shales, he helped to draw up the address inquiring who had recommended this disastrous appointment. But when the King replied by asking the Commons to nominate suitable replacements, Garway with the majority evaded responsibility, recommending only that no Members should be named since there were already too many placemen in the House. He was appointed to the committee on the state of the revenue and listed as a supporter of the disabling clause in the bill to restore corporations. On 20 Jan. 1690 he attacked (Sir) Robert Sawyer for his part in the condemnation of Sir Thomas Armstrong, and he was named to the committee for imposing a general oath of allegiance. In his last recorded speech, he reiterated his opinion on the indemnity bill: 'Find out things; else you will never find out persons, or come at them as long as you live'.21
Garway was defeated by the dissenter James Butler at the general election of 1690 and retired from political life, though remaining 'very healthful and stout in his body' and 'very inquisitive after more knowledge' into and beyond his eightieth year. A local clergyman described him in 1697 as 'careful to purchase all books of worth as they come from the press, and very curious and attentive in reading and marking them'. It is all the more striking that his recorded speeches, which he invariably delivered extemporarily, are totally free from pedantry and literary allusion, though Morrice's informants accused him of 'constantly clogging all great matters in the Convention'. Throughout his parliamentary career his interest lay almost exclusively in affairs of state. He was named to only 30 committees on private bills, all in the Cavalier Parliament. Except during the supply debate in 1673, and perhaps for the opening months of the Convention, he was consistently in opposition, demanding redress before supply, the abolition of the standing army, and relief for Protestant nonconformists. His tolerance even extended so far as to permit the public exercise of Roman Catholic worship. He cannot be absolved from the charge of venality, despite the apparent simplicity of his lifestyle; and as a moderate in the exclusion crisis he incurred the hostility of his former associates, and his policy of comprehension was distasteful to many dissenters. He died on 4 Aug. 1701 and was buried at Ford, the only member of his family to sit in Parliament. Subject to the life interest of his nephew Sir William Norris, he bequeathed his whole estate to Christ's Hospital.22

Apple listens to user feedback, which is evident by the introduction of a new tool that lets users remove the U2 album Songs of Innocence from their iTunes library entirely (via 9to5Mac). The album was given away to all of the over 500 million iTunes registered users as part of Apple's new iPhone 6 launch last week. But some users (like our own Matt Burns) weren't thrilled to find that the U2 album was instantly made part of their collections, whether they were fans of the Irish super pop band or not.
The free album was arguably nothing but a nice bonus offered up by Apple and the Bono-led music troupe, but its presence in your collection means that if you're streaming from your cloud-based iTunes purchases, it's bound to come up sooner or later. It also means that anyone browsing through your collection will inevitably form opinions about your character and role in the greater picture of humanity – justified or not.
Removing the Songs of Innocence album is as easy as following a link, and then logging in to your iTunes store account. Once you've completed those two steps, a message lets you know it's gone, though you'll have to delete the actual tracks from your devices if you managed to download them.
If you would like U2's Songs of Innocence removed from your iTunes music library and iTunes purchases, you can choose to have it removed. Once the album has been removed from your account, it will no longer be available for you to redownload as a previous purchase. If you later decide you want the album, you will need to get it again. The album is free to everyone until October 13, 2014 and will be available for purchase after that date.
It honestly didn't really affect my life either way, but I appreciate the gesture by Apple in offering this tool. U2 may be one of the biggest pop acts on the planet, but this is a concession that has Apple basically saying 'Oops, that's your collection, and we should respect that.' If you have a change of heart about the album, you can always re-download it from iTunes for free, so long as you do so before October 13, after which time it'll be a standard paid purchase.

Penjenamaan Semula Penting Dalam Usaha Memulihkan Syarikat Tenat
By Nurul Haziqah Abdul Halim
Pix by Shahiddan Saidi
BANGI, 11 March 2014 – A company CEO in a talk to students of the Graduate Business School (GBS) of The National University of Malaysia (UKM) related how changing a strategy from focussing on market share to rebranding, seeking consumer insights while maintaining quality had enabled the company to turn around.
From once where it had to be delisted from the Australian stock exchange after suffering heavy losses, it has within four years been able to turn around and becoming profitable with sales growth of 350% in the period.
Group Managing Director and CEO of Vita Life Sciences, an Australian owned pharmaceutical and healthcare company, Mr Eddie Tie was relating his experiences in turning around the company to what it is today with its products again in demand.
The international brands of Vita Life Sciences are Herbs of Gold and VitaScience in Australia, and VitaHealth, VitaLife and Pharma Direct in Asia. Established since 1947, the company has formulated and sold more than 1,000 products catered to different health and age categories.
Tie was addressing the students in a talk on "Rebuilding Business: Challenging Convention and Changing Mind-sets" at a Sharing Session at GSB here recently.
He spoke of not compromising on pricing strategy when he joined the company in 2005 to help turn around the company which in 2004 was facing a downward spiral of luck and shares.
"Our brand was tarnished, we suffered product recalls, sales suffered, RM130 million loss and we were delisted from the stock-exchange. In 2005 they hired me and now we have opened four subsidiaries, added 320 new staff, 380 new products, 350 percent of sales growth, 30 million in revenue with zero money borrowed from the banks and we were relisted in the stock exchange. That's the turnaround," Tie said.
Having previously only focusing on market share, as in paying for product visibility, the company was not bothered by cash flow or stock holdings. It is a common practice for some companies, where they will literally pay pharmacies to keep their products on the shelf where people can see them, even if no one actually buys them.
"They didn't care. They just simply launch a product and if it didn't sell they will keep lowering the price and this meant lowering profit margins, which was not good for the company," Tie said.
He then changed the strategy and instead of focusing on visibility of product he focused on re-branding, consumer insight while maintaining product quality.
Tie stressed the need to never take the consumers for granted. The level of awareness is very high with consumers researching online about the products before buying and they read clinical studies and findings.
"Never underestimate your consumers if they want quality you give them quality and that means that as a company you must be willing to invest for good quality products," Tie said.
Avoiding the intense competition of vitamin products and common supplement products, Tie steered the company to make changes, create new line of health products, among them focussing on the pre and post cancer medicines.
"Business is like fashion, we need to create a new line every new season. At the time there are a lot of supplements and drugs catering for people who already suffer from cancer no one look at the need of those who are trying to avoid it? Or patients who were out of the danger zone and wish to stay that way? So we focused our efforts there," Tie said.
Tie said the company never lowers the price of its products even under immense pressure to do so, because it is easier to whether the pricing storm than try to raise it up again later.
Lower prices is not Vita Life's brand positioning, because it is not sustainable and in the long-run it will damage the company, Tie said.
The talk followed with a question and answer session.

Supporting men of color
February 2, 2018 |
Nate Wyley wasn't ready for the rigors of college when he enrolled at the Illinois Institute of Technology, a leading research university in Chicago, right after graduating from high school. It was only after he dropped out, moved to San Diego, and began taking classes at City College that he found the support to help men of color succeed.
Now Wyley is a junior at UC Davis studying electrical engineering, with his eyes on a Ph.D. and a career in the alternative energy sector.
"The programs at San Diego City College, and there are a lot of them, from HUBU, Umoja, and EOPS to Price Scholars and MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement), were invaluable," Wyley said. "I know I wouldn't have been as successful as I am without them."
Indeed, Wyley embodies how the San Diego Community College District is setting the pace in supporting men of color, who researchers say face far greater external challenges in trying to earn a degree than other populations.
"The San Diego Community College District is by far one of the most progressive districts in the country when it comes to supporting men of color and underserved populations in general." Said Dr. J. Luke Wood, the dean's Distinguished Professor of Education in the College of Education at San Diego State University who also serves as director of the Ed.D. Program in Community College Leadership, "San Diego is far beyond where other districts are."
Wood attributed the District's commitment to a number of factors, including leadership at the campus level from educators such as San Diego City College President Ricky Shabazz and Acting Dean of Student Development/Matriculation Nesha Savage, San Diego Mesa College President Pam Luster and Vice President of Student Services Ashanti Hands at Mesa College.
The need is profound. Although more than 75 percent of black men and nearly 80 percent of Latino men in California's public postsecondary schools are attending community colleges, men of color have the lowest completion rates among all racial, ethnic, and gender groups, according to the 2017 report, Supporting Men of Color in Community Colleges: An Examination of Promising Practices and California Student Equity Plans. The report was written by Wood and Frank Harris III, his co-director at the Community College Equity Assessment Lab at San Diego State University.
Why such low completion rates? Administrators and faculty alike point to a host of external challenges that men of color face at significantly higher rates, such as uncertainty over housing or where they'll get their next meal, not to mention a lack of transportation that can make just getting to class difficult. "Those are challenges we don't typically concentrate on at the campus level," Wood said.
Another factor: the misplacement of students into remedial courses based on assessment tests that have been found to be flawed indicators of success. Study after study shows that remedial education is a significant contributor to dropout rates, and no group is more affected than men of color. For that reason, Mesa College is piloting the use of self-reported multiple measures – including high school GPA, highest math and English courses completed, and the major a student thinks he or she will declare in college – in determining placement into English and mathematics courses.
Mesa College is almost halfway into a five-year project with the Center for Urban Education and the Community College Equity Assessment Lab (formerly the Minority Male Community College Collaborative) that to date has focused on collecting baseline data and is now turning toward interventions such as training sessions and addressing the inequities in remedial education. Other efforts include a Teaching Men of Color Workshop series for faculty and staff, and a nationally broadcast course called Black Minds Matters – A Focus on Black Boys and Men in Education.
Elsewhere, Continuing Education opened its fall 2017 semester with a convocation in which supporting men of color took center stage, and City, Mesa, and Miramar colleges all have programs such as Umoja and PUENTE to provide academic and counseling services and a stronger sense of community among African-American and Latino students. What's more, the District works with historically black colleges and universities (HBCU), institutions established before 1964 whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, as it strives to open greater opportunities for men of color.
"We feel privileged to partner with a district that is so committed to making a difference in addressing issues of equity," Wood said.
That partnership includes a fully online certificate training program designed to enhance the capacity of faculty and staff to support learning among men of color. The certificate includes five modules and two live sessions.
"We are seeing some of our gaps being closed, but we still have a long way to go," Hands said. Administrators at City College agree. That's why they hold a Historically Black Colleges and Universities expo with workshops, an HBCU alumni panel, performances, and information tables. The college also is home to an annual Hermanos Unidos/Brothers United (HUBU) conference each fall.
"One of the takeaways that I would like for students to pull from the event is that they have a whole lot of people that are invested in their success," said Cosumnes River College President, Dr. Edward Bush. "And that they matter. And that we know that while it's important for them to do the work, we also want them to know that they are supported in the work that they're trying to do."
City College student Aaron Harvey said such support has made a difference for him. "I'm 29 years old. This is my second go-around at college. I didn't make it the first time, and now I'm about to graduate from a community college and go on to a university."

A friend emailed me today, raving about bulk pickup day for the garbage in her town, and that she and her boyfriend had gone to the rich neighborhoods to see what the other side was tossing out. "Man, you should have seen the stuff", she wrote. "We got a hammock, a mower, a large shop vac … There was a new-looking regulation-size ping pong table, but we couldn't get it home. We also passed on bikes, a microwave, a weed eater and tons of other stuff, like stereos and furniture. Rich people are dope. But we enjoy their dopeness."
She and her boyfriend, both of them artsy bohemian types, live in East Nashville, which is separated from Nashville proper by an easily crossed river, but which feels pretty much like an independent village. It's a place where you can see a limo unload a troupe of costumed midgets into a mansion for a lavish Christmas party one night, and get mugged while you're unloading your groceries from the car the next. Extreme poverty butts up against million dollar homes, and the residents are a mix of newcomers reviving old houses, and people who lived in the area through the scary decades that made East Nashville seem like an Old West gun town. But the area's residents possess a fierce, overwhelming pride, and even joke about the area's duality. Bumpers stickers proclaim things like "37206 — We'll Steal Your Hearts AND Your Lawnmower" and "37206 — Over the River and Through The Hood".
It's also a place populated by, as Todd Snider puts it in "From a Rooftop", "that guy from your town that would rather pick than eat / And we all met here, to do almost exactly that / We usually got about a half tank of gas / And we don't feel like crossing the river / But we will, we will if it's for a song we like." Or more succinctly, "East Nashville? Shit, man, we're living in a dream world over here."
Granted, Peace, Love and Anarchy isn't all about Nashville — it's an odds 'n' sods collection covering Snider's five years at John Prine's Oh Boy label, so the material's all over the map. But its strongest tracks seem to carry forth the attitude of Snider's most recent albums, 2004's East Nashville Skyline and 2006's equally Nashville-informed The Devil You Know. "East Nashville Skyline", which never made it to the album of the same name, is a gently loping number (featuring pedal steel legend Lloyd Green) that pays tribute to Snider's current home, while "From a Rooftop" does the same via Snider's trademark acoustic guitar/harmonica/spoken word approach. There's even a ragged demo version of "Nashville", which adds a humorous series of Nashville-style song endings, but isn't that much different from the finished version.
Even the songs that branch out beyond East Nashville, though, show Snider to be a songwriter who exhibits that same wry self-awareness in his songwriting as many of his neighbors do in their day-to-day lives. "Combover Blues" flashes forward to a singer's descent into middle age: "After all these years and traveling bands / Backstage beers and rental vans / Have left me here with all I've got to lose / This aching back, this smoker's cough / This broken heart and to top it all off / These combover blues". In a similar vein, "Cheatham Street Warehouse" explores the complicated nature of missing a loved one on the road: "I know how to keep you here / Where you know you belong / In a song". The album's "simplest" track, the four-line spoken word "Dinner Plans", confesses, "I knelt / Losing red wine / Knees to linoleum / She called her parents and canceled dinner plans".
Overall, Peace, Love and Anarchy is a low-key, relaxed album, befitting the fact that many of its songs are presented here in their most basic stages. "I Will Not Go Hungry" features a gentle and contented call to Jesus, while "Missing You" concludes, "I'm gonna pull down these shades / And play some old songs". Even the album's one cover, Jerry Jeff Walker's "Stoney", is a fond ode to a "bullshitter" that eases into a meditation on the ways that liars are perceived as they age.
Albums like this help counter the perception of Snider as a novelty singer. Since making a splash with "Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues" back in 1994, he's best known to the general public for morning show-friendly fare like "Beer Run", "Vinyl Records", or (on a liberal station) "You Got Away With It". Good songs, but taken by themselves, they tend to reinforce the idea that Snider's just bumbling through with an "aw shucks" grin and a knack for telling stories, when the reality is that Snider works hard at his craft. Just like East Nashville, I guess: some folks might try to dismiss it, but there's actually an awful lot going on, and a lot to be proud of.

Homes in Toronto and the GTA usually fall into one of two categories. You either have a much older house or a newly built house or condo. In the case of the new ones, central air conditioning is almost a guarantee. Vents are installed to deliver warm and cold air to your new residence. On the other hand, older homes may not have such luxuries, and installing them won't be cheap. So where does that leave you? Unless your plan consists of hoping for a cool summer, you may need something to keep you cool on those hot and sticky nights. Ductless air conditioning is a smart investment for older homes.
Efficiently Cool An Older Home With Ductless Air Conditioning
For those of you looking to beat the heat this summer, ductless air conditioning can help you do exactly that. It's designed to cool small areas of a home much like an air conditioner mounted in a window does. There's one major difference here though. Ductless air conditioning is installed in your home and doesn't depend on an opening like a window. Instead, coolant is run into the unit from an outdoor compressor. Once the coolant reaches the indoor unit, fans propel the cooler air across the ceiling of the room it's in. Since cold air is heavier than warmer air, the cold air forces the warmer air to rise up and be absorbed by the indoor unit. This process helps your home stay cooler with less energy output. Most importantly, it is much more cost-effective than installing central air – which can be quite expensive based on your home.
As long as your home is properly insulated, ductless air conditioning makes for a great answer to hot summer temperatures.
Who can install ductless air conditioning in my home?
Whether it's the middle of summer, or you're looking to get ahead of the humidity, the right professional can help install your ductless air conditioning. While it's possible for some dedicated do-it-yourselfers to pull off a job like this, nothing is worse than having something go wrong when the temperature outside is hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. This job calls for someone with experience to pull off correctly.
At Ductless Air, our team has the experience to handle all types of installation and maintenance regarding HVAC. We have over 30 years of experience serving Toronto and the GTA. In fact, our customer service is second to none. To make sure of this, we always encourage new and existing clients to give us a call anytime. We're available 24/7 to assist you. To get started, all you need to do is contact us 647-547-6079 today! Our experienced staff will be more than happy to book an appointment or answer any questions you might have. Ductless Air is here to help you keep your cool all summer.

Hello World!!! Welcome to my new and improved website and blog. My dear husband has worked day and night to create this beautiful site for me and I could not be more thankful. He said I am the client that most designers dread. You know the one that stands over your shoulder, makes numerous corrections only to redesign everything at the last-minute and then still ask for more changes. I would like to add that it is very hard designing for yourself, but thankfully he stuck it out and here it is.
I can't wait to share new blogs and featured creations with you. My Etsy store along with Facebook connections keeps us very busy in the evening developing and hand making all of A Labor of Love invitations and gifts. We even made our first sale in Australia! I never even dreamed my invitations would go world-wide.
Thank you to all for the love and support you have given us on our new venture and stay tuned for our latest creations.
Until next time we leave you with this little nugget of cuteness!

A late evening brought us into the Jackson KOA Minnesota. By this time we were just getting our "sea legs" in the RV, so when we pulled in the Jackson Minnesota KOA we were excited to be out and about to experience a little Minnesota summertime Kid Rock songs always seem to promise.
It is a rustic campground with an aged ambience. In a nutshell, this place has been here a while but everything we used was in good working order. Jackson KOA is a journey branded campground with overnight guests being their focus but the best touch was the hospitality of the staff and other campers. They really were a great group of people. This was by far the friendliest campground on the trip.
Who is ready for a party?
It was a Saturday night, so a Kampground party started around 7:30 that evening kicking off with a hay ride and ice cream social. Karaoke and line dancing were on the schedule as well and the crowds did not disappoint. We swam in the pool and enjoyed listening to singers belt their way through a menagerie of songs. Not to be outshone, the Smith clan took the mic two times for Shake it off and Life is a Highway.
Jackson KOA overview
There is a meager playground with swings and a sandy footing all the kids were addicted to staying in. A goofy golf putt area installed over a concrete slab with no charge for clubs and balls. The bathhouses were nice with ample counter space and clean stalls. The park store was minimally stocked but ample. Need any VHS tapes? They had some. And a most important feature for an RV matriarch, a 24 hour laundry.
We stayed one night. This park appeared to be nothing to write home about at first glance, but we had a splendid time and met more nice people at this location than at any others.

UPDATED with more info: Focus Features bowed Everybody Knows laid claim to the highest per-screen average of the weekend at the specialty box office. The Cannes-opening film directed by Oscar-winning Iranian helmer Asghar Farhadi and starring Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem bowed in four locations, grossing $75,000 for an $18,743 average.
The frame's biggest opening-weekend grosser was the 2019 Oscar Nominated Shorts, this year's pack of Oscar-nominated short films — in Animated, Live Action and Documentary shorts — in 265 theaters via ShortsTV and Magnolia Pictures. Its widest first-weekend reach ever (67 more screens than last year) resulted in its highest-grossing opening weekend ever: a $912K total, good for a $3,442 per-screen average and possibly on its way to a $1 million total by the end of its run.
"Every year, the Oscar Nominated Shorts opens in the dead of winter, when there's a dearth of new independent releases and compelling studio options," Magnolia said Sunday. "It's welcomed by patrons who see it year after year and who include it in their standard pre-Oscars viewing, as well as moviegoers just needing something fresh and new to see. This year's program has sentiment, controversy, current events, some violence, talking animals, a trip to space – so, like usual, something for everyone."
Among other openers, Gunpowder & Sky's Lords of Chaos grossed $28K in four locations, averaging $7,021, while Good Deed Entertainment's Matthew Broderick starrer To Dust played an exclusive engagement for $8,400. Menemsha Films bowed Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel with seven playdates grossing $28,358 ($4,051 average). And Kino Lorber's documentary The Gospel of Eureka played an exclusive New York engagement in its opening weekend for $5,200.
In other offerings this frame, Bleecker Street expanded Arctic starring Mads Mikkelsen to 15 runs in its second frame, grossing $82,619 for a slow $5,508 PTA. The survival drama opened in four theaters in its first weekend, taking in nearly $51K, averaging $12,720.
Bollywood's Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga remained in 193 locations in its second outing. The Fox Star Studios release grossed $250K in North America, averaging $1,295 (-59%). Directed by Shelly Chopra Dhar, the feature grossed $606,775, averaging $3,144.
Lionsgate/Pantelion's Perfectos Desconocido more than doubled its runs to 83 theaters in its fifth weekend, though it struggled. The title took in $32,500 in the three-day estimate, averaging $392. The gross was enough to bring it over seven figures, however, bringing its estimated cume to $1,000,870.
Also crossing a box office milestone this weekend is Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures' sci-fi thriller Replicas, topping $4M. The title starring Keanu Reeves also had a slow weekend, however, taking in $8,400 in 29 theaters, averaging $290.
Amazon Studios' Oscar-nominated feature Cold War by Best Director hopeful Pawel Pawlikowski is closing in on $3 million. In its eighth weekend, the feature grossed an estimated $500,859 in the three-day in 270 locations, averaging $1,855 and bringing its cume to over $2.88M.
Multiple Oscar-nominee The Favourite from Fox Searchlight topped $30M marking its third month in theaters. The feature, starring Oscar nominee Olivia Colman and helmed by Best Director nominee Yorgos Lanthimos, played 605 theaters in its 12th frame grossing $800K, averaging $1,322 and bringing its cume to an estimated $30,200,041.
Best Documentary nominee Free Solo is about to crest $16M. Released via National Geographic Documentary Film/Greenwich Entertainment, the feature grossed $307,200 ($2,008 PTA) brining its total to over $15.91M.
And Sony Classics' The Wife starring Best Actress nominee Glenn Close is at over $9.1M in its 26th weekend of theatrical release. The title directed by Björn Runge grossed an estimated $100,015 Friday to Sunday, averaging $1,010.
