14 Nov '19

Here is a summary of the responses I received to my request for information about home security systems: The October 2019 issue of Consumer Reports has a helpful article comparing DIY home security systems. The article points out the challenge of comparing apples to apples when shopping for a system and contains helpful information for deciding what you need. Vivint Smart Home Security System-- 3 recommendations. Vivint is available directly from the company and also at a discount via a Primerica representative. ADT-- 2 recommendations. Guardian-- 5 recommendations and one warning. One household preferred Guardian having also used Vector and ADT. One person warned about being drawn into an expensive, multi-year contract. Valley Electric in Imperial-- 1 recommendation. Not sure if this is a system or system installer. 724-695-8810 RING System purchased and installed by Best Buy-- 1 recommendation. Best Buy comes to your home to advise and install what you purchase. Wyze cameras-- 1 recommendation. $25 per camera, monitored via a free app. ARLO-- not recommended by one person Xfinity-- 1 recommendation. "$40 for the system + 3 cameras" SSA-- 2 recommendations and one warning about poor customer service

We were keeping our garage man-door unlocked along with the gate that leads to it. And our cars. A few nights ago someone came through the gate and into the garage. They stole a bike, change from both cars, one cashmere arm warmer and 2 iPod shuffles. Lock your stuff!

East Liberty Presbyterian Church Dramatic Production
by Mary Lynn Callahan 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

Greetings! Your neighbors at East Liberty Presbyterian Church are producing a dramatic reading of a play which may be of interest to you. The flyer with full information is attached and there is some information below. Tickets are available through Eventbrite at www.tiny.cc/deChardin<http://www.tiny.cc/deChardin> Hope to see you there! A dramatic reading, staged in ELPC's evocative gothic chapel, of: The De Chardin Project, A LOVE STORY ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF THE UNIVERSE. About this Event The De Chardin Project is a play about Jesuit priest, scientist and philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955). Silenced and exiled by the church, de Chardin, a renowned paleontologist, crossed continents searching for the missing link between his love for God and his love of Science. His groundbreaking discoveries in human evolution transcended barriers between Faith and Science. And today, his work is regarded as having changed the conversation about cosmology, evolution and theology and spirituality. In the play, De Chardin, having suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, finds himself beyond the physical world and engaged with a mysterious guide who leads him on the ultimate adventure: the excavation of himself. The play is a Dora Mavor Moore Award winner for Outstanding New Play (Independent Category). We are delighted to be joined by the playwright, Adam Seybold, and his wife, actress Kate Fenton, for a dramatic reading of this fascinating exploration of life, science and faith! A Review of the De Chardin Project from NOW Toronto (excerpted): Science and religion are often on opposing sides, especially around something like the creationism vs. evolution debate. Adam Seybold's The De Chardin Project offers up a fascinating real-life figure who defies any reductive labels. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a Jesuit priest, a paleontologist and a geologist. When we first meet him, he's stuck in a sort of limbo and being visited by a mysterious Death figure. Then we flash back to moments in his peripatetic life: digging for fossils in Egypt, fighting the Hun during WWI and, in Zhoukoudian, China, taking part in the expedition team involved in the historic Peking Man find. (The Death Figure) is present in each of these scenes, morphing effortlessly from a series of mothers to a frightened soldier to, in one of the most moving sequences, an American artist in love with de Chardin as the Japanese invade Peking. Seybold's beautifully detailed and suggestive script touches on biographical moments, but not in a pedantic way. It's open-hearted and open-minded and complex, befitting a man with so many dimensions. NOWToronto.com BY GLENN SUMI DECEMBER 3, 2014
