Welcome back everybody a beautiful day here on a Thursday kind of cloudy here in New York awfully warm I don't know what's going on, but looking forward to a brand new year. Good to see you. Good morning everybody Brian William good to see you all excellent What I got here is gonna bring something up here just want to bring up a couple of stocks out of making some big moves and We're gonna basically yesterday was actually a pretty good decent day I actually was down. I got caught on one stock. I had to I bought a little bit more than I wanted to and You know, but I did well on a different stock that made me back So I got pretty much broke even yesterday. It was down like a hundred bucks basically So it was actually one of the first days. I've been down in like two weeks, you know I was on a really good winning streak. So, you know, listen you win some you lose some You got to be careful you going into a very very tough time on We only got like what like I said, we'll get got tomorrow And that's that's about it. I mean and ended a year. So a lot of things are not coming up You could see what's happened with the market. It's not really moving that much job reports came out They were all five like five thousand or something like that. So it wasn't really nothing spectacular Just watching the news right now. Just seeing what the numbers are and what where we're at right now So there's a couple of stocks out of making movies. I mean, but you could see overall It's everything's kind of like flat things are up about 10 cents 20 cents We're not getting some big flyers, but we did add a couple of good ones We're gonna talk about that first and then we're going to go back and talk about what's moving this morning So anyway, let's start off talking about what happened yesterday. So this stock, uh, bbio Had a really really nice move yesterday. You could see it right here Stock finally made a little bit of a comeback at 9 30 ran from like 13 dollars all the way up to 14 The only issue that I had with this stock is it was very volatile, you know It the chart looks beautiful. It looked like had a nice move up until about 10 15 But the but if you look at the candlesticks, this stock was moving in 20 cent intervals Meaning that if you went out there at market Boom, you had done, you know, you were probably negative 20 cents 20 cents on a thousand shares That means you're down 200 dollars that you have to make back just to break even So that's why we always talk about in class, especially next week when we talk and do phase three It's all about entries and exits. You've got to try to get in those limit orders So this stock for some of you that here for the first time You could see this stock got destroyed And it finally did make a little bit of comeback was a 40 dollar stock It went all the way down to about open up about 11.  I uh Did I close my window? I hate when I do that. Oh, no, here it is Here we go All right So a couple of the stocks also we did pretty well on this stock si Isig is back on the watch list. This stock was also a very volatile stock And i'm putting this one back on the watch list, but this is a category four. Okay, minimum I would even give it a five. All right, but you could see this stock Has been just a fun stock for us. It was down to five dollars in the beginning of december Rant about 35 and you could see here on this chart right here Right out of the gate, uh, right about 9 30 had that big pop in pre-market And then boom this thing just took off But this was the issue It came crashing down.  This is gorgeous. It's what we're looking for but This stock I think this this was the stock that got me Um, a little not too much very little. I didn't trade too many shares of it on this one But this stock I had to be careful of and um, you know, it had that beautiful pre-market But look it's doing almost the same exact thing right now in pre-market But we know what happened when the market opened up. So be very very careful isig. All right, this is a Like I said, you got to be a Category three trader to trade it this stock was also really nice in the afternoon. This one still looks pretty good I put this back on the watch list For today because you could see right here from yesterday had a really nice push from 12 1230 remember the 720 went all the way up nice all the way up to About 960 she's that you know, she's she held there which is a pretty good sign And when you have something like that we'll keep an eye, you know What we'll put on a watch is the only issue you got to be careful of is that we're getting close to resistance levels Going back in more in november. So when you look at the Uh watch list, you know, when we look at the orders out there, you got to be a little cautious on that And we're going to check that out in a little bit Naked was also a pretty good stock that had a nice pop move yesterday gorgeous move You could see this one just that 12 o'clock ran from five dollars all the way to about almost six And then right after after hours it just literally popped right there T cat was a fun stock too Um, I don't know what happened to cat. You know what this was like This was Kind of threw me off a little bit about this stock if you notice it has a fowl still flag being built right here Okay, so you got your fowl still flag being built right here So you would think like it would break and it kind of did a little bit here But that's like a one o'clock and then it did this false run up After hours so You know t cat Crazy cat, you know that stock is not the easy stock to trade and I said that earlier But um, but we did do we did make money on it. I traded. I did I did okay on it Could have did a little bit better. I got shaken out right around here Uh around 10 o'clock and it did a big nasty shake it dropped like 50 cents So, you know just because it's cheap doesn't mean you can't lose a lot You can make a lot you can lose a lot, but that one was also pretty good a couple other ones This stock also a l l k. This is the one that was similar like bbio For some of you in here for the first time this stock was 80 dollars. Okay And uh, this thing got really decimated went all the way down to eight a lot worse than bbio so That one had a little bit of a good pop around 10 o'clock So, uh, that one listen You never know event if they keep trading here for a little while sometimes they do come back a little bit um Put on the watch list or see how it works out And that pretty much does it now on the lute now today's watch list is talk. What's going on going today? So we got this r e L i the stock had a nice push yesterday not a crazy push But you could see that it's starting to make higher highs So you could see how what happened in pre-market at seven o'clock it ran a little way up to here and came back down But you see it's making higher highs when I bring up over here on level four Um, there's not the the greatest amount of orders, but there is a big guy out here around eight bucks You could see there's about 10 000 share and 11 000 share seller This guy's been out there for a while. You could see that these people out there. That's why it's having a really tough time Um at nine o'clock this morning you get past that seven 86 You know, there's a lot of you students out here that became a student of cybertrain university Maybe you're watching the recording a lot of you here. I always kind of always repeat this Follow the orders, you know when people come to cybertrain university After you know taking and listen to other gurus, you know And everyone's telling you why their indicate is better than this one and they keep forcing the charts And then you believe in the charts remember and i'm going to repeat this because And the only reason why i'm bringing this up it came up yesterday in conversation with a new student that joined Cybertrain university. He says, you know what? I took so many classes valesto and They all made sense, but I was very difficult to make money on it because I was always late to the party and I said, you know why that is because I said bill the reason why is because You keep focusing on the past you got to focus on the future and they're like, well, how do you do that? He goes exactly what we're doing is it makes perfect sense You can't have support resistance levels without those big buyers and sellers out there Because the only way history is going to repeat itself To be indicative of the future is to have those same guys that were in the past Out there in the future and that fellow traders is the key to trading TIRX another one on a watch list on this stock. You somebody remember this one got Crushed and not only did it get crushed. It still went lower. He's a hundred dollar stock The somebody remember it went to twelve dollars and you know what? Never came back. Okay, you could see that She's up about You know, she was up this morning a little bit and volume looks pretty big about 67 000. Yes So for some reason the only reason why she's on my watch list is because volume picked up on it So I put this on the watch list. I want to see how What it's going to do dna y From yesterday it's coming into today You could see from yesterday had that really nice move right there dno dna y And I put it back on the watch list because like I said, it's it's holding here pretty strong Which is a very good sign But you got to be careful of the resistance levels back in november and october to know If it's going to still run or not naked once again another stock that had a big big run yesterday And you know, I just talked about it But she's holding here pretty strong. I want to see how she works out because 600 000 shares once again It's a lot of pre-market that's going on right there. But overall it's thursday tomorrow. I listen a lot of Covid's going rampant all over here in new york. I don't know where you are but I got tested just uh, I just got my uh, PCR test that came about negative. Thank god. I think everyone's just getting tested left and right So, uh, please be safe out there. But with those these catastrophes there might be some opportunities So we all know about a bbv a big testing stock out there Stock has done well when when it when it came rampant went from 115 You could see that just a gorgeous chart the only bad thing about this stock as much as it's up as much as it looks It's not up that much the chart looks a lot more You know a lot a lot more prettier than where it really started from so, uh, but it is all-time highs so Pfizer I got out of it. Uh, you know, I'm seeing a little bit of a falstil flag being built on here I don't think a lot and now that they came out With a pill that if you do get sick, unfortunately, it's not going to be here for another month or longer actually But um, I think like I said yesterday, I think they maxed out on everybody getting the kovachot You know if you're getting it or not. I mean you got people that are still skeptical or can't take it uh unless they get you know You know, I don't know what more you could do but now like I said now now you have the you have a pill out there You could probably take Chances are, you know, I don't know if these stocks will continue because listen you could see the trend right there Is going down if I see a pop maybe I'll jump back in in Pfizer But um, at least that one's a little bit more Of our price range other than that pretty much does it don't really have anything else out there Anyone else see any stocks out there that I did not call out Sometimes something pops up out of the blue, you know, right after you know, right at nine We remember we got a program trading right at 9 a.m. It's going to go through the watch list you know Val you could see it. I mean look at this. This is three percent The third biggest percentage gainer on the nazda and the new york's stock exchange is up three percent Garbage looks like one percent of the population of the country will have coveted this week uh So 99 percent of you 99 percent Well, I think it's it's more than that new jersey. They said it's 25 percent One out of four people have coveted. Okay So the good thing is it's not as bad as the first one where a lot of people are dying That's I think that's what it is. But I think eventually everyone's going to get it RELG norman says going back down Yes, it's It's a pretty volatile stock, you know, just be very and the reason for that and I'm just looking at the level four Kind of kind of explains it the big orders are still out there. So that kind explains it and there's nobody looking to buy it There's nobody out there looking to buy it. So Let's like we always do wait the first five minutes. All right guys Let's let's get ready to sell for the market open up in about 15 minutes If you're watching youtube and facebook live, we'll be back here. We are every morning 9 a.m. And 2 30 just make sure you like us and friend us watch our videos. Maybe do a trial Um for anyone here if we don't see you Uh tomorrow or latest afternoon, maybe you're gonna, you know cut out early. Enjoy the rest of the new year Just be safe and uh, we'll see you back next year But we'll see you. Uh, like I said, we'll start commentary once the market opens up. Good luck everyone. Be safe And uh, let's try to make some money today. Okay


Hey guys, Endurokete sent me these RFX grips for me to test them out and I've been riding with them for about two months. Two things about these grips. The waffle structure is really comfortable and the grips grip to the handlebar really well. Actually, they don't even need the wire to hold them on the handlebars but you have to be careful because if they end up being damaged, I would recommend using the wire. These grips are made from a dual density compound, one softer on the inside and one tougher on the outside but I wouldn't recommend using them for a hard and brutal because if you ride on a really rocky terrain, this won't withstand much but if you're riding on dirt terrain or even doing water cross, I would definitely recommend because they would last quite some time. Lastly, I know these ones seem quite dirty compared to the new ones but don't worry because they get easily cleaned with some more pressure cleaner and some soap. And that's it. Hope it helps. Thank you, Endurokete, for sending me the grips. Thank you for watching and subscribe.


number of things that council gets that staff get around to because they're working hard and maybe the subcommittee could be In a useful thoughtful way Finding a way to contribute to that shape it and then drive rather than Drive and and um Prioritize because you're not going to get to all of it very quickly. So anyway, that's my thought on it Mr. Greenberg. I was gonna say I mean one thing we could do in the short term would be to have a kind of uh study group of the blueprint itself And sort of catch up with what you're all working on You know proactively Is that sort of along the lines of what you're Something like that could go any another directions, but I like that I can't say that I have recall their command of the stuff or no The priority like again, how long is it going to take you to get through all those things? Right great ideas and we'll get them when and just reactively So thoughtful dialogue with staff about how we can contribute to that and not And cumber them even more right and being supportive that effort So back to the question Commissioner shifrin are you talking about subcommittees or yes, um A couple of thoughts one. I think we are ranging off the topic that's On the agenda although I would agree. I wish we did have a conversation about the commission's work program and what's coming up My concern about trying to set up a subcommittee on this issue Is that we'll get into the same problem that existed last year Where you start talking about things it's so actively an issue and at the state right now that We could just be spinning our wheels If in fact as some of the testimony is the state's going to do away with owner occupancy totally Then why do we need to spend a lot of time on it because it's not something we're going to be able to do So that's one concern. There's so much going on in terms of what the state's doing what the council's doing. I'm not sure that that's Should be a priority for us The other thing is we're going to be facing From my my sense is very significant issues with other state laws. I mean sp3 30 Is going into effect soon and that's going to affect housing development Overall, and I think I would assume staff is going to be coming forward with that fairly Soon to sort of talk about how we're going to deal with sp3 30 And then we have the rezoning of the corridors that the council has sort of given direction that that be You know that be some resolution on that My sense is that's going to need to come to us soon as well So I think while we've been in this kind of hiatus for a while. There are things that are Significant they're going to be We're going to need to spend time on I Totally agree that it would be desirable for the for the commission to be more proactive than reactive all the time But I think we have to choose our battles in terms of hard time and staff's time In turn as far as what we're likely to be able to accomplish I think that needs to be the last comment on potential subcommittees or work plan And so back to the conversation about the motion for us Question of the motion I'll keep it I'll keep it quick because I mean every a lot of this has already been said, but I am I'm all for easier cheaper solutions to In terms of getting the adu Getting more adu is built. That's and I think that's pretty much what we're Seeing across the board. That's what's being brought down from the state easier cheaper get it done get them built And I'm for that I think in terms of the Just just make a comment about the proactive piece. I think it is important. I think we are we were On the leading edge of the adu and you know, and that's And that's what we're talking about now, but What's the next thing? I mean there there's something else there too And that's and maybe that's what you're Potentially talking about not just talking about like how do we continue to refine the adu Ordinance, but you know, how do we look at our at our ordinance as a whole and figure out other ways to Create this housing And I think that's a great idea and I and Just based on the history of Santa Cruz and being kind of you know forward thinking around that. I think this is the The right place for that to happen. So I appreciate that comment Um Just one kind of a side Parking um For me like one thing that I'm I struggle with is covered parking in the requirement for covered parking just within the ordinance altogether Um, I understand that you know, if you do an adu you can remove it But I don't even understand why we need it to begin with Um With the setback for a garage being what it is you have if you have if your requirement is two cars You have two cars Parked in the garage and then you can also park two cars in front of the garage. So now you have four cars parked Um, if you only need two let's get rid of the garage entirely Um, just park uh uncovered and then that gives us much more Um outdoor living space we live in a in a climate that Is just fantastic for your year-round outdoor living I know that has nothing to do with what we're talking about tonight But it was just something that as we talk about parking in Garages and and all that it's just something that I think it's I think it should be a discussion that we have in the future um I um I would um with the motion that's on the floor. I would like to um add I guess a friendly amendment um To the um to the decimal um question that I had that it would be a round up um And um, that's that would be my request. This is your motion Who seconded this? I did we did We're seconded All right, so that's friendly amendment is received favorably is that all you had Okay Vice chair Spellman. I just have another thought so I think Sarah said at the beginning of this that that these are minimum standards too, right? It's not this is a cap on on what we could propose to counsel I don't know what that is Healing is here, but we could Propose the owner occupancy be eliminated. Uh, and we could also address existing non-conforming structures in a more direct way If we want to be proactive about adding more housing do you want to offer an amendment? Yeah, I would like to add a friendly amendment Both of those categories You're saying again. Yeah, one would be to eliminate the owner occupancy requirement for all ad us not just The next five year ad us And I'm not sure I know the right language for Promoting the conversion of existing non-conforming structures You have an example of something that you're that hasn't been able I mean sounds like you're thinking of a couple specific projects That might help us what I'm talking about is so these these issues are addressing just ad us Maybe it's not an ad you or maybe it could fit under one of those categories But I think it really begs to Not having to bring structures up to current code in order to be I see considered recognized structures And I know that that's something our building department has talked about I think there are Vehicles out there that would allow them to interpret things potentially more liberally And not require full adherence to code But it's obviously something that we're not seeing happen So ab 1226 does allow for that and that is something that we do review in our building division on a case-by-case basis Is looking at the Codes that were in place at the time the construction was Was made when we're going to do the legalization And so we also have on our work program More looking at more ways to To really parse out all of the hundreds of units that we have and find ways to Legalize those if they're barriers, particularly if they're barriers that are in our zoning regulations We have the ability to Modify those and so that's something else that is on our work program and certainly if the commission wanted to convey a sentiment of support for that Then that can be conveyed to the council Yeah That seems like that seems like something that could be added to the work program It seems more like a work program item than an ordinance amendment because this zoning ordinance doesn't really Address the application of the building code. That's you know, those are that's a separate those are policies and Other things and I and I don't disagree that that's an important thing to get at And I don't know that the ordinance is the place to do that The ordinance is not the place to do that ab 1226 is state law and we Don't have to put anything in our ordinance to adhere to it. It is something that we Are adhering to just as any other state law Offer your first amendment then Offer the first one. Maybe I'll come back at a future meeting with more specific Discussion around that or received favorably that amendment Can I ask a question? Is this uh the owner occupied? Um, you are putting forward is that for um From January on or are you talking retroactive? to Ones that have been one the the ones that are currently owner occupied that are within The framework everybody assumed that's where we were going to be today a year ago or from january on So I think we're again We're waiting and doing the minimum that the state is telling us and we're not addressing it as a community and making our own decisions All right, I think we're this this is a way of potentially forcing that discussion quicker All right and going back and just taking it back to the ones that had to follow that rule and In wiping that clean. Yes. Yeah, okay Mr. Singleton also, I just on that on the under occupancy rule if New aid use moving forward are not going to have to adhere to the rule I think it's a little unfair that the folks who before legislation still have to adhere to the thing So I think it's a matter of just treating all of them the same in the city Mr. Schiffin, yeah As I remember the this commission has already Recommended to the council that they remove the owner occupancy requirement and the council refused to do it. So I think certainly At the commission's discretion, but it's kind of like thumbing their nose at the council. I think staff Has laid out a process for looking at owner occupancy over the coming year in a way that Looks at a number of options and will deal with this issue in a more comprehensive way. So I think it's I wanted to support the motion. I won't support the motion if it includes this provision So I would like to Propose some amendments. I propose an amendment I would move that the motion be amended such that if the Council approves the removal of owner occupancy for all those That are not subject to The recent state law one of the units be Permanently affordable be required to be permanently affordable That is not friendly That's not I think it's friendly Not favorable received Well, I made a motion that I don't know I thought you were making an amendment. I'm making an amendment. I don't know if it's been seconded So, okay, I see so there's I'm sorry those procedures. So you've made the amendment No, he did not make the amendment. He made the original motion. I'm making a motion to amend that So who decides if it's a friendly amendment or not? He does he's it's not so it's So now you're making a separate motion to see if I get a second to this. Okay. I will second that Okay, so I think if um, we're going to Increase speculation increase housing prices In the city of santa cruz. The least we can do is to provide affordability required affordability to as well If I could just clarify The intent of the motion is if they remove the affordability requirement on existing Because moving forward for the next five years, there is no owner occupancy. Yeah for existing. Okay. Thank you Yeah, and I would just say that given the documents that you provided that would be kind of returning to the effort that was proposed You know during the blueprint discussion Which seemed like, you know, a community led conversation as well So, um, and you know over overwhelmingly influenced by the concern over affordability So while it wouldn't apply to all units, it would still be somewhat in in effect. So I would support that So I've tried to be good about this, but I'm confused procedurally now because we have nested motions and one of you helped me with how to properly navigate this I believe the way that it should work is that there is The main motion is on the floor. There is a separate motion to amend There can be discussion on the Motion to amend and then vote on the motion to amend and then it goes back to the main motion. Okay, all right Any discussion around the motion to amend? Vice chair Spellman and then yeah, I think the state's approach is not going to require affordability requirements and I think we've had the discussion that For ad use we're not we're burdening them already And the affordability piece is yet again another burden being placed on those So I don't think that that's a an incentive to get the ad use built. I think it's unfortunately the the opposite Mr. Singleton Yeah, I just I don't think you're going to see a lot of speculation as a result of the under occupancy requirement going and if anything Putting the affordability attachment that we've had on previously for certain concessions I'm afraid you hasn't resulted in a lot of Affordable ad use being dropped in the market if anything I think it's deterred people from Going through with the incentive that we wanted There's the action we wanted to take which is create more affordable housing If we wanted to create more affordable housing, I would offer them something rather than imposing something So I think it's just the wrong approach fundamentally So I will not be supporting the other discussion Is is what's being offered though the Elimination of the owner occupancy requirement So that's the change and it's already existing ad use. It's not about Seeing new ones or incentivizing the production It's for people who already Have ad use who who wish to pursue Wish to you know, not have it be bound by owner occupancy And I think by imposing an owner occupancy or by we are going to retroactively allow the owner occupancy requirement And to not apply to those units in the hopes that they Create more rental units and I think if you were to say the condition of that owner occupancy requirement being Removed uh, you have to have it get affordable. We wouldn't get the units We otherwise would get by removing the requirement anyways Any other discussion of the motion to amend We only have what 700 some odd ad use Less than that we uh, I mean well legal ones we have just under 500 and I think illegal ones Oh, actually maybe more than that because illegal ones. We have so I'm really talking about future Ad use. I mean there are Yes, the future ones under state law At least for the next five years are not subject to it. So it would only be that existing ad use would Lose the owner you we'd be gaining no new ad use potentially What we'd be getting is just a bunch of speculation in real estate No, what we'd be getting is additional units on the market So I think I think we have some disagreement about that and that's fine. Um, so I think we're ready to Vote for this all in favor and this is to be clear of commissioner shifrin's Motion to amend All in favor I I Opposed no no So the motion to amend fails and now we're back to commissioners single no I'd like to make another motion to amend the motion on the floor in terms of parking and that under the development standards for And number two on the parking there'd be an added Provision that ad use shall contain adequate enclosed space to store at least one bicycle per bedroom It's not friendly. I mean I I sit on the board of bikes Santa Cruz County. I really want to encourage biking I don't think adding another requirement on new housing Is is you might encourage some people to park their bike who otherwise wouldn't take the space otherwise It's not clear There's a direct correlation that more people bike because they all of a sudden have more Space mandated in the ad you that was created. I think it's It's just another another thing they were adding on and I'd rather avoid the death by a thousand cuts I think it'd be a wonderful selling point to have on-site bike parking But I just shouldn't think it'd be your requirement I think most cyclists who looking at new transportation looking new housing would agree that that Shouldn't be required of every individual landlord trying to build an ad you I always think mr. Schifrin would you like to make? You would you like so it's not friendly you receive? Yeah, I'm making it as a motion to amend to see if I get a second Is there a second? I would need to know more about the logistics of that There's no second Any other discussion of the original motion? Are there are there Other examples of this? I mean are there not that I know of Let me just say one thing about parking. I I sort of turn around what commissioners singleton said in terms of the contradiction between people who Worry about like me worry about parking in neighborhoods And then people who don't want parking downtown. I happen to be a person who wants parking downtown my concern is that we're And I support Increasing the you know the feasibility of doing accessory dwelling units I think they are an important addition to the community and they should be supported But I think it's important to recognize that there are some costs involved Traffic in Santa Cruz is terrible. I know people who have left Santa Cruz not because they can't afford it Although there are certainly people who have left for that reason, but because they don't like the traffic We're going to lose what was Initially historically attractive and people leaving the big cities because they wanted more Town quality and we're in the process of destroying that small town quality. There are reasons for doing that There's justification for providing accessory dwelling units But it's important to recognize that there are costs to doing that The lack of Parking is going to be one of them. There's going to be a lot more cars on the streets in the neighborhood and the You know the whole nature of the community is going to change Our university community, maybe that should be expected that we're going to have a lot more young people around a lot Fewer families But I think it's important to take that into consideration that the community is changing and as we Try to adjust to these changes, which is going to mean a lot more housing Not any wider streets Not any Greater number of parking spaces. They're going to be cost to the community There are already costs to the community in terms of the density that we have So I think the proposal I made was trying to not just give a lip service to Yes, I support bicycles. Yes, I support multimodal transportation But what are we really doing to get it? To make it happen to encourage people to Create to actually use different different Means of transportation not providing parking spaces I've seen no evidence that that really works in terms of reducing the number of cars people have so Um, is there anything that exists? So we've we've all spoken At length and I don't know that I'm doing a great job of driving the agenda So I'm gonna call for a roll call vote commissioners your friend I'm gonna vote I guess I'm gonna vote no But I'd like the record to show that I would have voted. Yes If it wasn't for the owner occupancy require the only owner occupancy provision Sorry, um, you have a question Lee. I was asking is this the amendment that uh, There's no second. Thank you. Thank you So what did you did I kind of interrupted you because Lee had a question. Did you get your? Qualifications stated I got my qualifications stated. I don't know if it was yeah, okay Uh spellman. Hi Wilson hi Greenberg hi singleton. Hi chair pepping. Hi So the motion passes, uh, five to one And that was our only agenda item. So our meeting is adjourned Thank you to members of the public who endured the long meeting and came to speak


Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Unfiltered. Pastor David, welcome. Thank you, John. Tomorrow night on Wednesday evening service, you'll be teaching at a Romans 13. Romans 13 commands us to obey government in some senses. With all these mandates that we have or will be coming out or that we've had regarding the mask and lockdowns and how do we as Christians reconcile something so outlandish like that but yet be an obedience to God's word. Well, you know the bottom line, obviously in scripture is that God created government with the intent for it to continue to maintain order in a society and government is intended to protect and reinforce values, protect people from harm and reinforce values. Now, originally obviously with Adam and Eve, there was no need for quote unquote human government in that they were governed by God and God is their commander-in-chief and all of that. So there was no crime or anything to be concerned about but because the Lord had established within the first nine chapters, the building blocks of what would one day be what is called the civilization or society. You know, he established marriage and the family, he established human government and the church and these are things that you find in the Genesis, in the book of Genesis in the first nine chapters. And so in anticipation of the need for man to be regulated by rules and order, he established government. And so government is intended to provide for the welfare of the people. And so laws are made to restrict behaviors that will harm others and also to promote the human tranquility for peace. That's what governments intended to do and the problem that we find in all civilizations over all time is the problem of human nature. Human nature being what it is needs regulation because we are prone to evil.  And so we're gonna be looking at Romans 13.  I'm just gonna touch on it a little bit but I'm gonna just wanna show that we as Christians are to reveal the faith that we have that were under God and His command in a way by being in subjection to those who have been placed over us in authority. So the Christians should be the number one citizen, the best citizen. But obviously there are times when laws are written up that do not promote the welfare but actually the harm. So you have people making mandates to get a shot or mandates to wear a mask or mandates to stay home or mandates not to go to a funeral or to enjoy a wedding or to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas or a birthday celebration. And there are things that were mandated here that have since they were first mandated have been proven to be just an overreach by the government. So we'll be looking at some of that tomorrow. That's not the whole study but we'll definitely look at in touch upon that a bit as to why that is, how does that work in the Christian life? If I'm a Christian and they tell me get a shot or you're gonna get fired, do I get the shot? If I'm a Christian and I'm told you cannot congregate but it's okay to go to a tattoo parlor or to be in a riot.  Well, I think Christians need to really reflect on that and we'll touch on that a bit tomorrow. I hope to bring a little reason into the insanity that we live in here in the United States. When you have an entire month that has been designated transgender month, this is insanity. How do we, as Christians, how do we deal with these kinds of things and how do we respond to these kinds of things and shall we bow our knee to Caesar or do we bow our knees to God? So we'll be looking at that tomorrow. Amen. Well, it's a good opportunity to invite your friends and family to come out and join us and to take a look at these things because some of the things today are just, it's crazy. Reverse. So we do want to invite you guys to come out. Service starts at 7 p.m. tomorrow evening. Come join us for a time of worship, studying God's word and fellowship. So we look forward to seeing you. Pastor David, thank you so much for spending time with us. We look forward to seeing you and God bless you.


I have a new appreciation for Ectochrome this year I'm gonna be shooting with my contacts t2. I have not shot with it all year that cameras basically Ice like bling, you know what I mean water because I haven't shot with it all year the battery is currently dead So let's replace that Dude, I swear I can never find a quarter When I need it What should I do with the old battery? That's right toss it in the ocean good to go Let's put some film in it try to ignore the mess, but if you've been watching for a while, you know that My office is always like this this year on the podcast We're doing like a holiday special the podcast is momy amigos if you're not following along I hate you and we're doing like a white elephant sort of thing. So I Got a gift here. So it's a shirt It says I'm not afraid to go to hell. I've eaten at Arby's Whoa frame change the lighting is a little bit better here tonight We're going down to San Clemente, California for the release party of Phoenix 200 today is the 30th of November Phoenix comes out tomorrow all this shit is film I'm gonna be going to Spain the biggest Fania in a couple of days Literally right after the event in San Clemente getting on a plane flying over to Spain for like a commissioned project Yeah, so you see this shit I need to dethaw this Cinna still at BWXX role was like literally stuck Up here in the ice like Luke Skywalker on the ice planet hot Forgot my phone charger So I still love you probably Yeah, so this year Monaco was going to give the old film thing ago She shot a little bit and even did some developing in high school, but has since strayed from the path. Yeah My god, I wanted to start her new journey off with 8 by 10 But I decided to go easy on her and just lent her my Manolta freedom zoom a point and shoot and after watching all my videos Over the years. She was a total natural the continental breakfast aka the poo stopper That morning started off pretty strong Not only did Harman release their new surprise color film Phoenix 200 But some of the folks from the factory tour that I did not too long ago were in town as well And we all got a tour of the dark room They even very kindly turned on the lights and we got to see their dip and dunk processors and the forbidden But oh so tempting chicken noodle soup that develops all of our film Aaron to run this morning, but That's over with Just bit my tongue still got some extra crumb. I need to smash out. So let's do it After all that it was Honestly, it was pretty chaotic We rushed home and then rushed to the airport to board an international flight to Spain where I Jett lagged to the very core of my being shot for six days straight some of the most beautiful occasions I've ever been in my entire life. There are ups and downs as per usual But it was a total sprint to the metaphorical finish line And we made it leg cramps fatigue diarrhea and all our last night out in Spain We went out with some friends and got you know, totally obliterated So the three connecting flights back to LA were pretty rough the next day And well, that's where we basically just reconnected with our main plotline We just got back from Spain last night. The jet lag is starting to get to me I think I shot like 30 something rolls of film when I was in Spain over five days It's gonna be very crazy. I have to turn around these 30 rolls of film in like less than two weeks I think something like that. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to You know split up the the workload between labs and just make sure everything gets done on time The problem is there's some ecn2 in there There's e6 there's c41 and then there's some black and white that's been pushed There's a whole bunch of stuff and not one lab can do all that tomorrow. I'm going to run to 35 m pro I haven't used them before but I'm trying them out because they can develop c41 in like less than 24 hours Which is uh quite nice for a project like this. My friend joey was Selling off some uh some hp5 in 8 by 10. So I bought it off of him should get that in soon man I don't know I'm just drawing a blank. I'm probably because it's like 4 a.m in spain right now ordered uh monica's uh Christmas present today. I got her a uh steam deck I don't think she would kind of spend that kind of cash on herself, you know She loves to play uh stardew valley and star bound So the other day when I realized I haven't shot my contacts t2 all year I also realized I haven't shot 8 by 10 all year either. I think the last time I shot 8 by 10 was last christmas I'll try to have more functional brain activity tomorrow. Hey, what's up? Welcome to My car.  I gotta drop off a Lens at ups. It was a lens that uh my friend won.  Um, and then I'm also gonna run by 35 m pro Jet lag update I still am it got a lot done today Kind of It's only 6 30. Um, I think I mentioned at some point. I haven't shot any 8 by 10 this year So I think I'm gonna kind of do a bit more of that in 2024. I'm kind of starting to figure out how I don't know that sounds dumb I definitely have some other stuff planned for 2024 some big stuff that's gonna Alter the course of history. No It's not and that's definitely way too much to promise Baxter says hi Monica got me this in uh in spain It's uh Yeah, it's a pen That uh is the poo The buff express making my daily run to the lab to develop more spain stuff more spain film I guess I went to a party last night and I felt like a bit of a zombie. I'm like Deathly afraid to look behind me. It's probably at least Five Coke zero bottles back there not filled with like piss or anything just um because I've been drinking them to For like caffeine Um today is the 15th ordered some gifts from my mom last night I still don't know what I'm gonna get my brother every time I ask him. He just calls me Dumb I just got a package from Joey Friend of the channel. Oh, wow. Here's the hp5 Let's see what else. Yeah, fp4 With more Gotta wipe that off, man, and then He sent me this So uh that unmarked role was actually x-ray film that joey sent me I'm not a radiologist and I've never shot x-ray film And I don't really know much about it other than it's black and white If anyone has any tips on how to shoot it and how to develop it let a play and know Also, I got my cinestill 400 daddy in 4x5 as I'm sure you also did if you ordered it after that Monica was packing up to uh go back home and leave me with Baxter Which meant it was going to be party time at the apartment No girls around to make the rules and tell us when we can and can't eat kibble Nobody wants to see you. I know. I know he's the store Oh boy, that's an angle Maybe someday we'll own property and be able to put up decorations and have fun This house Is definitely haunted Drop Monica off at the airport last night So now it's just me and Baxi. He's being a little needy right now because it's five o'clock Which means it's just about his dinner time and he's always a little bit nicer around dinner time I got in the box from a glass key photo. So let's pop it open I don't even remember when I ordered this to be honest with you That looks pretty good to me. I think I just finished The first batch of film. It was like Six rolls? No, 12 rolls. It was 12 rolls of 120. I got some more Black and white 120 coming in this evening. I haven't even started the 35. I think I'm gonna start that tonight but um Yeah Just woke up made some coffee ready for the work day to begin the past four days have been nothing but photo editing video editing I've basically been glued to my computer probably less than 200 steps a day. You know what I mean? I've put a good uh dent in it, but I still feel like I'm only 30 percent of the way Through tomorrow, uh, we're gonna go record a podcast sort of an emergency podcast today. We were supposed to record. I was Uh brutally sick, of course So we're just gonna do a uh Caleb and Jason podcast tomorrow and then I'm thinking Saturday we head up to the bay. That'll be the 23rd So cutting it a bit close. I still have to get my brother a gift. I'm thinking RAI gift card. I know that that's kind of a uh non thoughtful gift, but F*** it. He makes more money than me probably. He's getting a gift card Okay, I'm giving myself a hard deadline tonight 11 p.m. Right now it's 8 30 Uh, the deadline is to finish these images and then just Cut it off for the time being Fun times Yeah, I feel like I've just been redlining it for the past two weeks. I'll just finish up these photos and Hit the road bring the contacts t2 with me and try and finish up that roll of ectochrome. I'll also bring back to her Do you think if uh, you got abducted by aliens? Yeah, sure and you're like lauren I just got abducted by aliens. Do you think you'd believe you instantly? Oh, I mean, we're married now. So I think I think uh, I think I know. Yeah, no I don't think monaco would believe me either Yeah, so anyway, I basically got as much work done as I humanly could but I was still quite backlogged Wise and work wise.  It's always oh so worth it If you can uh name in the comments every song playing in my car during the drive up based on only these brief clips here Then you will have unlocked possibly the greatest reward known to mankind my respect About halfway.  I guess we got to work looking for food sleeping and taking camel sized dumps in the backyard All right time for some content some holiday content abc always be holiday content and gift card For my brother kind of smashed because it's been in my wallet, which has been in my ass Biggest bag we have More boxes for your cat not you well of all those animals howling looks like um They all stepped on like a lego or something That night instead of getting totally blasted on whatever creative alcoholic concoction We can come up with we decided to head out and take a stroll through this holiday light display thing that my mom had heard about Does the ectochrome in this video look a little bit different to you? Maybe so I read up a little bit on ectochrome I was just kind of looking for a An alternative way to scan it or shoot it just something some kind of new look You know, I've been shooting it for six years now And I've just never really fallen in love with it as you probably already know Traditional ectochrome has sort of a purple blue cast to it quite a significant one if you ask me and because that it was You know never really my favorite film stock throwing the usual kodak high price tag And well, you can see why I didn't really shoot it too much Anyway, after a little bit of internet digging some people online have speculated that the bluish cast exists on this film Because it's a slide film and was meant to be projected like for example How people used to go on vacation shoot a bunch of slides and then come home Invite their friends over to sit in their living room while they projected these slides onto the wall and show them their Vacation it sounds pretty lame, right? I mean who wants to go over to a friend's house to watch basically a powerpoint presentation of somebody else's vacation Not me don't invite me to that but I guess I don't know back in the day People were constantly bored and that sounded like fun to them because I guess back then they didn't have the Totally sick stuff that we do nowadays like xbox 20 minute pizza delivery and online blackjack These old slide projectors used light bulbs that let off a very warm color temperature So the theory here is that the blue in ectochrome is sort of a holdover from back in the day And it's there to kind of bounce out the warmth from the light from the projector. Is that true? I don't know probably not because I read it on the internet, but let's try it anyway The color temperature of the light table that I use for scanning is 6500 kelvin and uh, I'd want to get it down to about 3200 kelvin to simulate the color temperature of a tungsten light bulb Luckily for me there is a lighting gel called the 204 full ct that I can place between the suspended ectochrome and the light source when scanning to Rebalance the color temperature down quote-unquote accordingly. Does it make a difference in the scans? Yeah, totally a good difference though. Well, I suppose that's subjective. It's certainly warmer, which is nice I mean, it's not going to save a photo that you shot in the middle of the day But otherwise, yeah the default blue ectochrome overwash can really take control sometimes And I think this effectively eliminates that Anyway, unfortunately real life eventually came calling and real life in reality sucks I still had a mountain of work. I need to catch up on so on the 26th I drove two times the speed limit back to southern california with old backseat baxter How does that in my chamber? Baxter had his dinner about 30 minutes ago, but that's not going to stop him From wanting my dinner as well should be back home in about three hours or so And uh, I guess I'm just gonna do some more scanning and editing tonight. I got some film in while I was gone Okay, whoo huge head been home for uh Maybe about an hour I've kind of been scrambling around rushing around because one of the two packages of film I was waiting on developed film from From spain one of the two packages says it was delivered In or at my mailbox, but it ain't in or at my mailbox anywhere. I've like quadruple checked I'm gonna go in tomorrow and see if They know anything kind of sucks seven rolls of film from spain that was like 25 of what I shot lost rolls of film Update I went to the post office this morning. They don't know what happened to it Basically, they called me about an hour ago and we're like we delivered it to the wrong unit So I went over there. They're not home. I left a note on their door. I guess I'll update you when uh If that gets resolved. All right, so still no package This whole thing has been It's been a saga it seems like nobody knows what happened to this package Courier says it was delivered to my neighbor neighbor was incredibly nice They say that they haven't seen it courier also said that the label was misprinted We found a I guess they photograph every package that comes through the usps. They photograph the label The label was not misprinted. So I don't know which really sucks because seven rolls of film for a commission project What's up? It has been A very interesting couple of days. I went to the building manager and asked if we could look at the security camera footage Turns out package was delivered by the usp also service just as it should be a couple hours later Uh, somebody I mean took it they stole it basically very frustrating because As soon as they opened the package, they probably saw it.  It's been about five days I Don't really think I'm gonna see that package Yeah, it just really sucks because it was uh Seven rolls of developed film From spain medium format 35 millimeter film stocks that are no longer made anymore is ectochrome panther 50 and retrochrome I don't know I'm just feeling kind of uh Defeated right now. I don't want this video to end on a bad note. I'm gonna see a chance of you All right, welcome back to uh My messy office. I'm about to go out and shoot a video with kaleb But we're going out to the desert again pretty standard formula for my videos at this point Um, like I said earlier in this video I have not shot any 8 by 10 this year.  We also have some uh fp4 here it expired in 96 And then we've got good ol hp5 with uh Sh** stains on it pushed to 1600 which is kind of an odd move on 8 by 10 But we'll uh, you know, we'll get it done. That might be the end of uh Hector chrome christmas this year. Was it fun? It's never fun But uh, if it's fun, you want to have real fun Then why not build a website through today's sponsor square space if you're new to square space?

Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed another year of uh Slice of Jason's holiday life and uh, I'll see you next year Maybe if you're lucky if I do ectochrome christmas 7 Should I split it into two installments like they did with the harry potter franchise? I guess I'd have to actually find interesting stuff to do I know So the craziest thing just happened. I just got back from a movie Yorgos lanthimos poor things shot on ectochrome not important Uh monica got a call on her cell phone asking if somebody named jason lives in this apartment Of course I do we let the person in the front gate and he Hands me I guess like it's just an unmarked box I didn't really make much of it because that's just kind of how deliveries go sometimes and uh, so I open it up and it's film And I'm like, oh, okay Well, I ordered I did just send some film off that I should be getting any day now But I look closer at the film and guess what it's roles and roles of my stolen film I don't know who this guy was He said sorry for the confusion or the mix-up or something at the door and I was like I didn't really know what he was talking about. He didn't have any Postal service or any like uniform on or anything like that. I don't know It was kind of a strange thing, but inside the box is just all my roles my lost roles from spain, so um That's good Well, I guess now that means I have more work to do


Now if you guys do enjoy the video leaving a like is much much a perish-y-ated. This is always awful stopping by and I'll catch you on that next one.


High touch is more important than high tech. When a student is in crisis or student wants to brainstorm an idea and when they need a question answered, I want to be efficient. And one of the best ways of doing that is using the telephone. And so that's a real high touch way that has been really effective for me and I had really avoided it for a long time because I thought no, that's really not the technology of online education but everything is the technology of online education. Establish social presence using digital storytelling. When you start in a face-to-face classroom, when that professor comes in you're looking at their clothes, the way they act, the jokes, the stories, all these things. You size up who they are, right? So for me, one of the things I leveraged or relied on was the power of storytelling. And so the power of storytelling, you know, telling stories is a great way to establish your presence and help students get to know each other as real people. Use technology intentionally. I think we get so excited, I know I do, about new tools and new digital communities and social media tools and technologies that we can use to really enhance what we're trying to achieve with students in our courses. But we sometimes let the tool sort of drive our decision making as opposed to going back to our learning objectives and saying, what do we really want to achieve? Does the tool help us achieve that? Just because we get really excited. The power of external resources, there's tons of resources out there that if you just take the time to look, it's amazing what you can use to supplement your online courses. And so you don't have to do all the work yourself. It doesn't always have to be contained in the LMS or in the textbook and hopefully through that also help encourage and teach your students that there's great resources out there if you just spend the time. Make your expectations explicit. Being explicit in your directions, in your expectations, in everything that you are trying to achieve with students that so often we keep that secret, we keep that hidden as faculty. We know what it is. Sometimes we don't even know that we're keeping it hidden. Make it really easy for students to find out what is it they have to do that week? When does it do? What are the points, what's at work? Those types of things. Fun and playfulness and the unexpected. Doing something that's different can really jolt them and re-energize them and re-engage them in a way that allows them to express themselves creatively so that it's not just writing an essay but let's write a screenplay that demonstrates your understanding of these concepts. So anything that adds a little playfulness I think just re-engages people and makes the online experience not feel so cookie-cutter. You have to log in regularly. You probably should plan at least five days a week to be logging in your course. Now that doesn't mean you have to log in, you know, all day, five days a week, right? Sometimes people, I think, misconstrue that and will say things like online learning is just so much more work than face-to-face. I don't necessarily buy that, but it's very distributed. The faculty that I know that are the most successful in my own experience has been they'd log in regularly to their courses. The power of personal feedback. One of the things that I find that students really value and that they take away from is when they get specific individual feedback that's meaningful. And by not just giving feedback but giving audio-video feedback I've had students come back to me and really comment on how it was very meaningful to hear that even the inflection in my voice and that they could actually walk away at the positive comments. There's a lot of times when you just type stuff out, the negative just kind of comes through, right?


What's up everybody, takedown here. Welcome back to the channel. Today is another hockey card video and I have two more Hockey surprise packs from pristine. So I'm gonna be opening these up. You get in them one sealed pack One that they package themselves and then usually a pack of supplies. So that could be a hundred sleeves It could be top loaders or Anything you guys get the idea pretty much. So What we got is a 25 card hinge box We have Toronto star NHL cards. I don't know if they're All from Toronto or if they're Toronto cards It says there's only four cards per pack But that looks a little thick. So I don't know and it has a four card superstar pack So let's open this one up first because there's only four cards in it Jeff Walker Joe Nguent Key I'm mispronouncing that one. I do apologize Henrik Sadeen I PC him. So that's a nice one to get and Mike Hoffman, which I also PC So that is pretty nice to get Now let's open up this one see what it's about. I don't know it doesn't say Toronto Maple Leaf So I don't know if they're all born in Toronto, but Let's open it up and find out Miro Slavs Stats Stanton Alex Tingay. I'm probably mispronouncing that one. I do apologize Eric Lindrose Nice Marion Hossa Ottawa Senators card. I collect Ottawa Senators. You guys probably already know that's that's the first time I got it's one of his cards. Let's move on to the next pack here and see if we can get something Good because that one wasn't Out of the four I've opened already That one was kind of the worst and this one. I think I cut something. I wasn't supposed to do but we have 1991 tops hockey carry pack that could be interesting a Four card goalie pack a PC goalie card So that could be really nice and a mini snap holder. So that's two that I have got recently out of these Let's start off with the goalie cards rec Dipetro Dipetro, I'm mispronouncing that one. You guys are gonna let me know down below. You guys always do Peter Oh, I can't even see on this Peter Sid Sidor ski Mispronouncing that one Kori Schneider and Jocelyn Thibaults Not familiar with any of those names Hopefully the tops hockey pack Can redeem this? Pack I am hoping Let's see what we can get here. Are they all turned whichever way I think so No, you gotta split it. Okay. Okay. So we have a Steve Zermann a Mike Louis, I'm probably mispronouncing that one. Let me turn these the right way here Bread Brent's Fettings Fettick Not familiar. Sorry poor coffee Brian Haidward Rob rampage Rammage Wow the older cards because I'm not familiar with them. I'm just not even focusing Robert Cron a Team card for New Jersey Devils. That looks pretty nice. I do like that's the final standings That is pretty interesting a Super rookie for Mike Resher That one is interesting as well Let's see here I Think that's Dimitri, but I'm not sure the last name Of course, it won't focus either Pat Jabalonski Jabalonski That one is a top prospect card a New York Islanders team card final standings That one is interesting as well. We just got a checklist card hate getting those honestly a future NHL here for Surgey Nem Nov You guys are gonna roast me down below and that's okay. It helps me learn Alexander God's knuck So as always if I mispronounce any names comments down below the right pronunciation So then next time I'll learn but a lot of these the 90s cards are what always screw me up And whenever I get the surprise packs is a chance I always get a 90s or an older pack Where it's unfamiliar players to me at least because that's past my generation of when I started watching hockey So I'll leave this video here. Hope you guys did enjoy I plan on doing more of these pristine hockey cards in the future because they are cheaper to order them Then to always order blaster boxes of the newest cards, but I'm gonna leave this video here Hope you guys did enjoy Like I said, I'll be doing these more often than my other ones than my blaster boxes Just because they're more affordable for me right now and you never know what you're gonna get So I will see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace
