On Wednesday, August 20, 1890, the Rt. Rev Henry Adams Neely, second resident Bishop of Maine, and four accompanying clerics, all appropriately robed, strode out of the studio home of Winslow Homer overlooking Cannon Rock at Prouts Neck, and, crossing over a dirt road, mounted the front steps of a church almost directly opposite. There they were received by the Chapel's officers, among them J.Vaughan Merrick, Rector's Warden of St. Timothy's Church in Roxborough, Philadelphia, the mission's "mother" congregation, and Charles Savage Homer, Sr., the patriarch of the family who were then Prouts Neck's principal landowners.
The first of these gentlemen read the Bishop a Request to Consecrate, and the second-named certified that the building was free of all indebtedness. Then with appropriate solemnities, Bishop Neely Created St. James Church, Prouts Neck, and dedicated it to the patron saint of fishermen and "all them that go down to the sea in ships". After the service, Bishop Neely, his fellow clergy, and new congregation's officers and invited guests repaired to the cottage then and now called "The Ark", where all partook of the Homers' celebrated hospitality.
Thus was born a congregation which has become a unique, unifying force in the history of the Prouts Neck's summer colony.

This guy is totally BUSTED when his orthopedist checks into my flickr page. What was he thinking? Racing one handed in a cast? What a maverick!
Although I should admit that I had open heart surgery fifteen years ago (to repair a faulty mitral valve - and eleven marathons later it has been a good repair) - and I was busted by one of the employees of the Klamath Heart Clinic who saw me riding my mountain bike right after the surgery and snitched on me to my cardiologist!

Is your home a safe place to live in? If ask you a question like this, you are bound to find it pretty irrelevant because the time you call it your home, you are sure that you are safe. Now, what if I were to ask you, is your home safe – especially when you are not at home?

Increasingly senior citizens, especially those living on their own, are becoming targets of crime. The number of house thefts has gone up; women staying alone for their careers in urban areas are also prime targets. Can you really feel secure is such an environment? Are your house, your family, and your grandparents really safe when you are not a home?
While a double door and a watchman are a few measures, they cannot be entirely relied upon. Today’s criminals have found techniques to surpass all these. Today it is imperative to install a home security system for the following reasons;
Peace of Mind: The variety, flexibility and high – tech features offered by today’s security systems make it possible to cover concerns beyond breaking and entering. One can be aware of instances taking place at home when in office or on tours.
Emergency notification: These systems typically include an alarm that alerts you in case of any untoward incident, such as fires.
Safety of belongings: Installing a camera is really recommended if you keep valuables in your house.
Some home security systems you can install
Intrusion Alarm System:
These usually consist of a Main Panel, Magnetic Contact and Hooter. The magnetic door sensor can be attached to doors and glass break detectors on windows. These detectors sense break-in via doors/windows and sends a message to the main panel which in turn triggers the hooter, which acts a deterrent to whoever attempts to break in. Systems such as Glass Break Detectors, Gas Leak and Fire detectors are some examples. The IAS systems can also be connected to Central Monitoring Stations via telephone lines.
CCTV Video Cameras/Video Surveillance System: Depending upon how large and valuable your property is, one may want security cameras installed inside and outside. The images captured by security cameras can be recorded on Digital Video Recorders and played back. Technological enhancements have also enabled viewing of images over cell phones, tablets and desktops.
Fingerprint Door Locks: These systems ensure that only those persons whose fingerprints are registered in the system can operate the locks.
Video Door Phones: It is a device where a camera is installed outside the door and the display monitoring placed inside. It also has a speaker phone where a person standing inside the house can see the person standing outside and also converse with him. The major highlight of this system is that it comes with a night vision that enables the person inside the house to see what is happening outside the door even when it is dark. VDPs can also be connected to electronic door locks can be used to open doors remotely.
Systems backed by central monitoring system
These are security packages backed by a Monitoring Facility as well. In this case, activities are monitored by a Central Monitoring Station (CMS) that keeps your home under 24X7 surveillance for a minimal monthly charge. The best feature in these packages is the “Panic Button”. In case of any emergency, the person inside the house can pres a panic button and avail instant help from the response centre. The system is best suited if there is an elderly person or children at home. What next? What are the things that you should consider while buying a Home Security system?
Site Survey
It is important to determine your exact needs after a thorough survey of the area. While installing Home Security systems you need to determine the exact number of doors and windows that would be protected with detectors. You should try to protect every entry / exit of the house that could be vulnerable. Efficient security companies will always under take a site survey before recommending anything. If you are unsure about your exact requirements, you should ideally approach companies which offer a site survey before installation.
Location of the control panel
Home alarms systems have a Control Panel and a Keypad that control the entire set-up. The control panel commands the entire security system and the keypad allows the owners to program the system, like when to automatically turn it on, for instance, keypads can be used to turn the system off during false alarms and on during emergency situations.
Determining the location of the keypad is an important factor. Some people like to place it near the main entrance close to the front door whereas some like to place it in the master bedroom for ease of operation during the night and other such times.
Hardwired or wireless home alarms
Another important thing to determine is whether you want Hardwired or Wireless Home alarms. Hardwired alarms are advised to e installed when the house is under construction. Wireless alarms are easier to install as they do not require wiring and communicate through sensors. However, in both case, determining the distance of all the doors and windows to be integrated into the alarm system, from each other, as well as the control panel and keypad, is important. Hence expert advice from a security solutions provider is needed for a customized system to suit your home.
Customisation
In security, the golden rule – “ One size fits all” doesn’t work. Thorough research before buying is a must. One should have a complete understanding about the fine print instead of just going by many of the bargain-priced security packages. Things that look simple bases may actually needs is to get an onsite assessment done by a home system representative. It is advised to avoid such purchases without an expert opinion.
While security systems are a way to ensure additional protection for you home, proactive measures cannot be ruled out completely. Informing your security company if you are going to be away for some time, keeping your neighbours informed, checking the battery of your alarm system, and keeping your valuables in a safe are advisable.

Most West Broward county residential developments with walls, gates, cameras, guards and strict community covenants have become the rule in the newer communities developed in the 1990's and beyond. The community covenants and their application, in most cases, only serve to the detriment of fellowship and sour community relations that might reduce property value or community desirability. Generally, these communities are led by a few community blow hards who engage in incestuous group think and push their agendas but when hostilities arise, ruling boards hide behind the pretex of safety and security. A prime example might be the community pictured above, Crystal Grove Estates. Buyer beware and investigate before you buy, you and your family might be choosing to live in the hell behind the walls.
