Being a mom is the hardest job I've ever had.
It's 24/7 and even though we pretend it ends at 18, I feel like I might find it even harder then…. with him gone from the nest.
I was in a recent church class where we were talking about the Grace of God.
That's a big phrase — isn't it?
First off, I feel pretty unworthy for the grace of God. I enjoy a good swear every now and then, I'm a yeller and I sometimes have a dirty joke or two to share…..
I feel like the grace of God needs to be reserved for big stuff — not my tiny petty desires, especially as a mom.
But, he cares about ME.
When I'm feeling particularly perspective-filled I realize that for God — it's like I'm his only child. He's really there for whatever I need, and what will be best for ME. To Him, because of His infinite powers — I'm His one. No need for sibling rivalry because He actually DOES have enough of everything for each of us.
As a mom, especially as a young mom, I felt like the small things certainly weren't something He cared about.
My first one had a TON of ear aches and the crying was more than I could take sometimes.
I'd hold him and just BEG God to make it stop. And it would. Not forever, but enough for me to gather my wits and move on.

The thing is — for the majority of our parenting time we're entirely alone. We're making snap decisions on our own. Things that could make a big difference for that kid — we're making that call. We're encouraging, or not encouraging things that impact big choices.
If you look at that child's life — from back to front, it can be REALLY intimidating.
But, instead, we're just making many small choices each day.
And we DESERVE the Grace of God to help us in those choices.
That grace can look several ways:
- Answering prayers.
- As a Member of the LDS church, I believe that I have the Holy Ghost with me to keep me making good choices throughout my day 24/7.
- Peace
I would guess for some of my readers, you're not using the grace of God. Maybe you think your problems are too small, or that it won't do anything.
But, if you have a belief in God (frankly, if you didn't have some belief I don't think you'd be reading this anyway) — call on Him daily (sometimes hourly, or minutely) to help you.
He really will. I can testify that He listens and hears your prayers.

Some ways you can ask for the grace of God:
- Live your life in a positive way, and fill your life with positive things (I think it's hard to be in a spot to ask for the Grace of God if you've just been watching a raunchy show or listening to music that doesn't promote positivity)
- Say a prayer each day — to look for times you either receive His grace, or you could ask for it.
- Live your life as a daughter of God. Realize that your children are also children of God and God's grace is often heaped upon them by you.
- Realize that it is a gift from God that you have children, and with that gift comes His desire to help you.
I just think sometimes we get so stuck in the ruts of parenting that we don't see that there is help. Angels around us, a loving God and even a loving husband who also wants to help. Sometimes we just need to ask.
I made a little printable — something you could print small or large to hang by somewhere you are frequently. I hope you like it, I like the verse a lot. And, check out my other parenting posts below that:

Institute Offers $10K for Mobile Health App
In a bid to advance mobile health technology through a standardized social network platform, San Diego's West Wireless Health Institute has announced a $10,000 incentive prize open to software developers around the world. In guidelines announced yesterday, the institute is challenging developers to design a secure "mechanism" that can be standardized and will integrate personalized information from an established social network interface (such as OpenSocial) with health data derived by wireless health sensors. The mechanism can include networking and transport layers, protocols, interfaces, data presentation, and application programming interface (API). Developers have just four weeks to meet the Sept. 15 deadline. Details about the challenge are here.

Russia has called for urgent talks by various international officials to try to end the Middle East crisis. Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov says immediate steps are necessary to contain the spread of violence in the region.
Foreign Minister Ivanov said envoys from Russia and other countries should meet immediately in Jerusalem to implement a United Nations resolution on the current crisis.
The U.N. Security Council passed a resolution early Saturday calling for Israel to withdraw its forces from Palestinian towns, including Ramallah, where Israeli forces have attacked Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's headquarters.
Mr. Ivanov said envoys from the United States, Europe, the United Nations and Russia should hold talks with Mr. Arafat, as well as with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Earlier, Mr. Ivanov criticized the Israeli incursion into Ramallah, saying it was only making a bad situation worse.
Russia said that isolating Mr. Arafat is not the way to find a solution to the conflict, and it praised the Palestinian leader's offer to declare an immediate cease-fire.
Russia has long sought to maintain balance in its Middle East policy and is officially a co-sponsor of the peace process along with the United States.
However, in recent years Moscow has taken a back seat to Washington in active diplomacy in the region.
Russian officials say Moscow's Middle East envoy was on his way to Israel after a stop in Damascus for talks with Syrian officials. The envoy, Andrei Vdovin, attended the summit meeting of Arab leaders last week in Beirut.
Russia has praised the peace initiative sponsored by Saudi Arabia that was approved at the summit.
That initiative calls for Israel to withdraw from all occupied territories. In exchange, the Arab world would normalize relations with Israel.

Free-Speech Connection: FEC Chairman Says Free Speech and Contributions to Campaigns Are Linked. (Campaign Finance)
Lambro, Donald, Insight on the News
The chairman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) says he believes campaign contributions are a constitutionally protected form of free speech, even as his agency prepares to defend a new ban on large contributions in the courts.
FEC Chairman David M. Mason says he has no qualms about defending the campaign-finance law, which is being challenged in federal court as an unconstitutional restriction on freedom of speech. But he said in an interview with the Washington Times that he thinks free speech and giving money to political campaigns are inextricably connected.
"I agree with the analysis that the purpose of money is to facilitate speech and debate about politics and therefore it has to be constitutionally protected as a necessary component, if you will, of free speech," Mason said. "It's not the same thing, but it's inextricably combined."
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is leading the legal offensive, citing those very arguments in federal court against the law, named for its leading cosponsors, Sens. Russ D. Feingold (D-Wis.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.).
Mason, a former Heritage Foundation senior fellow who fought campaign-finance regulations before President George W. Bush named him FEC chairman, also defended the agency's rulemaking to clarify parts of the law, which prohibits large, unregulated contributions to political parties.
Critics charged that the FEC, which oversees and enforces federal election laws, "undermined the McCain-Feingold law by narrowing the scope of the ban on soft money that is at the heart of the reform bill." In a blistering attack on the commission, McCain said the agency "has taken upon itself the task of rewriting" the law. But in his first extensive interview since the FEC issued those rules, Mason rejected that criticism.
"The sponsors of the bill wanted more, but I think we did a good job on the rules. When there are a lot of ambiguities in the legislation, that's the normal process of what the FEC does," Mason said.
As for the stinging criticism from McCain and his allies, Mason said, "I'm a pretty big boy. I can handle that." Congress has 60 days to reject the FEC's rules, but Mason said, "I don't expect Congress to do anything to them." The FEC still has to hand down rules governing the remaining five parts of the law, which will take effect Nov. 6. Mason said he expects the commission will not finish its work until the end of the year. …

BBC Review
Album four from one of folk's 21st century success stories.
Jude Rogers 2012
It's all there in that name. Those three syllables suggest a hollering madman, and a ferocity that will – for the newcomer – seem far removed from folk music. But Bellowhead are one of the genre's 21st century success stories.
An 11-piece group founded by duo John Spiers and Jon Boden in 2004, they've played Proms, won seven Radio 2 Folk Awards, and their last album (2010's Hedonism) sold 60,000 copies, becoming the best-selling independent folk LP of all time.
Broadside sees the band decamp to Monmouth's legendary Rockfield Studios, with their now-established producer John Leckie, more famous in pop circles for producing The Stone Roses. This is folk music obeying different rules without doubt, cast in wilder, brighter colours.
Broadside is no typical folk album, either. We're more in the realm of The Pogues and Dexys, hanging out with a thinking-and-doing party band, who twist traditional tunes through rabble-rousing arrangements.
This can work, as their treatment of the drinking song, Old Dun Cow, reveals. Stirring into life with a sinister bass clarinet, a clattering snare drum soon promises menace. Then horns and strings arrive, creating the soundworld of a 1960s film thriller. For a song about boozing men stuck in a burning pub, it creates a very fresh kind of drama.
The sea shanty 10,000 Miles Away is also given a clever reboot. Its title promises travel, and the song delivers it, beginning with hints of tropicalia music before giving over to the jangles of a bluegrass banjo.
Elsewhere, Broadside's mood remains one of dramatic excess, as much of the theatre as of the turntable. It's there when Black Beetle Pies begins with a terrifying, gurgling laugh, and when Lillibulero sets a Henry Purcell tune against jaunty accordions, before screeching middle-eight string harmonics move us on.
But the stories can also, sadly, get lost in the volume. This happens literally in The Wife of Usher's Well, where the ever-blaring horn section smothers the voices completely.
Live, this may not matter, but on record, it does. When Bellowhead's mission is telling old stories in rousing new ways, sometimes the noise has to die down to make these narratives matter.

Many students dread math during their time at school; little do they realise that it is required in every phase of their life. Math is a very important part of our everyday life from a simple addition that is used in a grocery store to the probability of predicting a stock value. It all depends on the students' interest in math which should be developed during their time at school. Yes, indeed it is a challenging task for the teacher to make the students well interested in the subject with complex topics like calculus, vectors, etc. With the enhancement of technology, studying complex concepts has become easy with the help of 3D animations and real-life examples. Here we see few methods of how elementary students can fall in love with Maths.
Make it Hands-On:
Kids like to be involved more than simply sitting and listening to a lecture taught in class. Simple topics like addition, subtraction, etc. can be made more engaging and interactive if teachers make the students perform the operations by calculating the number of chocolates on the table.
Gamification refers to math games which require mathematical calculations and concepts to play and compete with others to obtain points. This concept has slowly been introduced in educational institutes because of the numerous advantages it has to make learning more engaging.
Maths can be gamified in classrooms by playing games related to the concept that is being taught in class. This will motivate the students and keep their interest high and also help to learn different Math Formulas easily.
Visualization of The Concepts:
Visualization of the concepts is a vital factor since it helps in understanding complex concepts and also helps to retain these concepts for a longer period of time as the students develop a clear understanding of the concept. This also helps the student to fall in love with the subject and practice for themselves rather than just preparing for the exams.
Showing Practical Relevances:
When the teacher shows the students on how the concepts that they study is related to their practical life, the students tend to develop an interest for the concept and also for the subject. Especially for a subject like Math where it is used in our everyday life, it is important for the teacher to help the students to relate the same.
The teacher can take practical examples of the concept that is being taught to help the students understand how maths is related to our everyday life.
Here we have discussed few points on how the teacher can help the students to fall in love with math, helping the students to enjoy the subject and use the operations in our everyday life rather than dreading the subject and just preparing for the upcoming exams. The students can subscribe to Byju's YouTube channel to have a peek at how concepts can be taught with the help of 3D animations with visualizations.

Yesterday I wrote optimistically about pressing on with Summerfest, rain or shine (the post is removed to avoid confusing people further). At the time the forecast was for a sprinkle, and the organizing committee and I didn't want a little rain to ruin the fun. Unfortunately, the reality is that today the forecast has worsened, and upon further discussion with the committee we realized it was foolish to continue.
I hate to say one thing and do another, but the fact is that the weather is so terrible that few people would be likely to come out, and it didn't seem fair to the vendors, volunteers and entertainers to ask them to come stand in the rain for four hours when everyone we spoke to said it was too rainy to come. The decision was not an easy one. It seemed that either way we would be disappointing someone.
Thank you everyone for your support, and I will let you know what happens next with Summerfest. The committee will meet soon to discuss whether it's possible to reschedule. If you're reading this and you'd like to pitch in to help with the work involved in rescheduling, please let me know in the comments or via email (briana at tenthtothefraser.ca) and I'll be in touch to let you know what the committee decides.
Thank you all for your support, and once again, I am very sorry to disappoint you.

- Wedding: August 2010
So husband and I picked out a cute going home outfit for our baby. We bought it in newborn size and it was a bit pricey ($20) for one outfit. I would like baby to be able to wear it more than once. We expect her to be about 5.5-6.5 pounds when born (ultrasound estimates). Should I go for the next size up so she'll be able to wear it longer even if it would be too big for when she is born? This also goes for some of those side snap t-shirts we bought her. We heard it would be better for her until her umblical cord falls out. We bought newborn size, do you think we should buy the next size up so she can get more use out of them?

Andy Coulson's career has now been knocked off course on three occasions by allegations about phone hacking. This time there is surely no way back for the tabloid editor turned political spin doctor, who is now seemingly abandoned by his powerful allies.
The 43-year-old resigned as editor of the News of the World in January 2007, the day that Clive Goodman, the newspaper's former royal editor, was jailed for illegal phone hacking. Almost exactly four years later he stepped down as David Cameron's head of communications, saying further coverage of hacking allegations made it impossible for him to do his Downing Street job.
Both times he protested his personal innocence, a view challenged neither by News International nor the Conservatives, meaning Coulson could present himself as honourable, even wronged.
But this week, as the industrial scale and sheer amorality of News of the World hacking registered with a shocked public, Coulson's friends in high places have shuffled quietly from the scene.
Cameron pointedly refused to back him at prime minister's questions, while News International tried to aim attention at alleged misdeeds during his editorship, rather than that of his predecessor as News of the World editor, Rebekah Brooks, now the company's chief executive. It is a distinctly gloomy potential conclusion to a once glittering career that saw Coulson reach the peak of the gung ho tabloid world in his early 30s.
Born in 1968, an early childhood spent in an Essex council house and subsequent education at a local comprehensive in Wickford put Coulson's origins at odds with the profile of the majority of senior journalists, let alone the privileged backgrounds of most other members of David Cameron's inner circle.
Inevitably, such a backstory has led to the now almost customary characterisations of him as the "Essex boy made good" thanks to hard-nosed ambition, drive and more than an ounce of sheer ruthlessness.
Piers Morgan, another star of tabloid journalism and one-time News of the World editor who described him as "one of the best journalists I have ever worked with", gave Coulson his first Fleet Street job in 1988 when he was hired to work on the Sun's showbiz gossip column, Bizarre, after starting his career at the Basildon Evening Echo.
A 10-week interlude working at the Daily Mail punctuated a journalistic career otherwise spent entirely in the service of News International, which he described to friends as his "spiritual home". Coulson returned to Wapping to edit Bizarre and later join the News of the World as deputy to the then Rebekah Wade.
A public image of brashness took shape at this time. In the runup to the 2001 general election he asked Tony and Cherie Blair if they were members of the mile high club. Less than two years later, in January 2003, he succeeded Brooks as News of the World editor, at the age of 34.
The signs that his tenure as editor would be combative, and not without controversy, came early when he abandoned a deal to protect Princes William and Harry, claiming the royals had not kept their side of bargain.
Success came too. The News of the World was named newspaper of year at the British Press Awards in March 2005, when Coulson apparently sought to sum up his approach to editing as he accepted the award, saying: "The News of the World doesn't pretend to do anything other than reveal big stories and titillate and entertain the public, while exposing crime and hypocrisy."
His departure from the editor's seat was similarly dramatic. After Goodman was jailed, Coulson said he took "ultimate responsibility" for the scandal but insisted he was unaware of the phone hacking. A Press Complaints Commission (PCC) investigation later in 2007 found no evidence that he or anyone else at the paper had been aware of Goodman's activities.
Further ignominy came in 2008 when an employment tribunal upheld a claim that he had engaged in bullying during his tenure as editor, with the paper's former sports reporter Matt Driscoll awarded almost £800,000 for unfair dismissal and disability discrimination.
A career resurrection had already dawned by then. Despite some unease in some Tory ranks, he was hired in May 2007 on a reported salary of £475,000 as the Conservative party's director of communications.
At Tory headquarters, where Coulson immediately became one of Cameron's closest confidants, he was integral in building support on Fleet Street for the then opposition leader and securing a highly important pre-election endorsement of the Sun and other News International stablemates.
After the party formed a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats last May, Coulson made the transition to Downing Street on an annual salary of £140,000. But his time at No 10 was brief, as a succession of public figures launched legal actions against Coulson's old employer over allegations that their mobile phones had been hacked by a private investigator working for the News of the World. The notion that the former editor could have known nothing about the activity began to be questioned in the courts.
Any hopes Coulson might have had that some months on the sidelines would lessen the scrutiny have been undone by this week's revelations.
Most potentially damaging for the ex-editor are questions about his testimony to the perjury trial of the Scottish socialist politician Tommy Sheridan at the high court in Glasgow in December last year, where Coulson was a defence witness for the News of the World – the first and, so far, only time he has been questioned under oath about hacking.
Asked about the activities of Glenn Mulcaire, the investigator used by the News of the World, Coulson said: "I never knew him as an individual, I never met him, I never spoke to him, I never heard his name until the Clive Goodman affair started. But I knew his consultancy was used in an entirely legitimate way during my time as editor."

If you are planning a holiday abroad it is important to make sure that you have any relevant travel vaccinations before you go, so that you can enjoy your holiday safe in the knowledge that you are protected against possible disease.
You may want to look at the website https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/ to get an idea about the types of vaccination you may need, the malaria risks and whether or not you will need a vaccination certificate upon entry into the country. Similarly you may find this leaflet from Jane Chiodini - a travel health specialist nurse, containing lots of helpful travel advice useful.
We provide a foreign travel vaccination service, however the number of consultations available each week is limited so please make sure that you book well in advance. It is important to make your initial appointment as early as possible as a second or third appointment may be required for some vaccinations in order to ensure you are fully protected before travelling. Your first appointment will need to be a double apppointment with one of the practice nurses so that they can look at your past travel vaccinations, go through your itinerary and identify what vaccinations are required. Future appointments to complete any vaccination courses will be single 10 minute appointments.
It would be helpful if you could complete this Travel Questionnaire prior to your appointment and bring it with you. Please click here to access the form.
There are numerous travel clinics throughout London that may be convenient for you if you work in central London - see www.londontravelclinic.co.uk. You can also get anti-malarial medication from Ritechem on Surbiton High Street and from Shan Pharmacy on the Ewell Road without the need of a prescription form us.
Some travel vaccinations are provided free of charge under the NHS whilst others require a private prescription. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS and some may therefore be chargeable. Prices are listed below for your information. In the event that a private prescription is needed, this service will incur a one off £20 fee in addition to the cost of the vaccines.
Applicable for travel to;
Hepatitis A
Price applicable to all countries
Hepatitis B
Malaria Script
Price applicable to all countries
Meningitis ACWY
Suitable for all patients over 1 year – only 1 dose needed
- Price applicable to all countries

Please note there is a £15 administration fee.
With regards to Meningitis vaccination for travel purposes, two different conjugate ACWY vaccines are available - Nimenrix® and Menveo®. In children under one year old, Menveo® should be used in preference to Nimenrix® because of the better immune response and to reduce the risk of hyporesponsiveness. In children aged over a year and adults either Nimenrix ® or Menveo® can be used and will provide similar levels of protection.
Please note that we do not provide Yellow Fever vaccination at Claremont Medical Centre.

Generally we get carried away in life with so much things to do and things to see. Water heater: Yet one more chore to put on your spring cleaning record must be to drain your water heater every year. Checking for leaks: Every so often, you need to make a habit of poking your head underneath your sinks to verify for leaks or water stains. When you catch these leaks early, you possibly can avoid having to take care of intensive water harm down the highway.\n\nWhen working on residence maintenance initiatives, make certain to keep your back straight and in line. We visit many log properties throughout the year. This can be disheartening for most prospects after they ask for a proposal on maintenance and receive a proposal for the restoration of their log residence as a result of the present finish was beyond maintainable condition.\n\n10. Remove hair from sinks, showers and tubs and use a drain cleaner in your plumbing system. 2. Get the lateral sewer cleared and inspected or use a root killer. 4. Verify doors, windows and siding for cracks and holes and caulk if needed. 5. Inspect all soffit vents and other techniques to ensure that they are free of debris.\n\nYou have to verify the exterior totally, on the lookout for cracked, bubbled, peeled and/or blistered paint. Use a high quality exterior paint with plenty of titanium oxide, which helps lengthen the life of the paint. If your own home has a wood deck, you positively need to protect it from moisture harm.\n\nIt will help to clear the filth that gets settled at the bottom of the new water tank. If this is left undone, then it could possibly clog the water tank and you will discover the tank does not work as efficiently as it should. It is because pet hair can clog this stuff.\n\nMost of these tasks apply more when you own a house, but there are also some safety and other residence maintenance tasks that even condo renters or apartment homeowners should remember. That sounds sort of dramatic, nevertheless it's the little things like caulking around the tub and making sure your gutters aren't clogged that stop larger things like severe water harm, interior and exterior.

I have now received from Amazon my copy of Falvetti's interpretation of Il diluvio universale (Noah's flood)
It is amazing. The music could be by Monteverdi
And as a CD, it is shorn of graphics. But that seems to be good. Just as music it is superb
It is one of the most marvellous pieces from the Baroque era to be rediscovered recently. It was written in 1682 in Messina, Sicily by Sicilian priest Michelangelo Falvetti.
The video is here:
The first aria is particularly worth watching as the contralto has the most expressive face. I see that her name is Evelyn Ramirez Munoz, which sounds Spanish. In expressiveness however she could be Sicilian. The conductor is from Argentina so maybe she is too. Argentinians are about 50/50 Spanish and Italian.
The feminist claim that the RC church is "patriarchal" has always been amusing -- considering the devotion that the church devotes to the Blessed Virgin. Catholics very often direct their prayers to the Virgin Mary. And the rosary has a lot more Hail Marys than Paternosters.
So I was amused to see that the contralto in Falvetti's oratorio was in fact speaking for God! How patriarchal! A Sicilian priest obviously saw no problem with giving a woman the top job.
Feminists sometimes appear to think that they have done something clever by referring to God as "she" but that in fact poses no theological difficulties for any Christian (not sure about Muslims). God is conceived as neither male nor female, with "he" being merely a linguistic convention.

Summary of coffee berry and its traditional use
Kumeyaay name: inyekhaay
Coffee Berry (Frangula californica)
Coffee berry, also known as California Buckthorn, is named for its seeds, which look like coffee beans.
It is a fairly common plant native to California and southwestern Oregon. It is a dense evergreen shrub growing to 6-15 feet tall, with dark red branches. The leaves are an attractive green with reddish tint, 1-3 inches long, with a curl under at the edges. The blooms are inconspicuous, small and greenish-white and grow in clusters of 5-60 together. The fruit is a berry, which turns red, then purple and finally black over the summer. Various birds are attracted to the fruits and seeds
Kumeyaay people use both the bark and berries of this plant. The bark is stored, boiled and used in a decoction as a physic or to treat poison oak. An infusion of berries is also taken as a tonic.

The other two ball-driven dogs, by the way, are Balu the Vislu and Dusty the Weimaraner, park acquaintances of Simon's, and they're all waiting for Andy, Balu and Dusty's owner, to let fly with the ball. As he duly did:
The ball is in there somewhere (remember those spot-the-ball competitions in newspapers?), but Simon is not really chasing the ball as much as the other dog. So perhaps he isn't really ball-driven?
Perhaps. But then there is the Yellow Ball, which in fact made its first appearance on this blog some time ago, as one of the items in Simon's cornucopia of toys. It is, alas, one of the few surviving items, the others having been systematically chewed to pieces; but even it has not escaped intact. The original concept behind the Yellow Ball (who thinks up dog toys anyway?) was thoughtful: the ball had a little adjustable hatch through which one could fill the ball with pellets or other treats; by regulating the aperture one could then control the release of pebbles; the dog, the theory ran, would discover that by rolling the ball he could release pebbles, and would thus remain happily occupied for hours while you got on with writing your novel or baking your cake. In practice, the dog, or Simon in this instance, got impatient with the gradual-release principle and chewed off the little hatch, thus releasing all the pebbles at once and rendering the ball useless for its intended purpose. But this was just the start of the fun for Simon. The gaping hole where the hatch used to be now provides him with a handy grip on the otherwise somewhat rebarbative ball:
As far as I know, there isn't much in literature about Ball Drive (although I haven't read Victor Matfield's recently-appeared memoir; it may be all about Ball Drive). Well, there is, of course, John Berryman's
The Ball PoemWhat is the boy now, who has lost his ball,
What, what is he to do? I saw it go
Merrily bouncing, down the street, and then
Merrily over--there it is in the water!
No use to say 'O there are other balls':
An ultimate shaking grief fixes the boy
As he stands rigid, trembling, staring down
All his young days into the harbour where
His ball went. I would not intrude on him,
A dime, another ball, is worthless. Now
He senses first responsibility
In a world of possessions. People will take balls,
Balls will be lost always, little boy,
And no one buys a ball back. Money is external.
He is learning, well behind his desperate eyes,
The epistemology of loss, how to stand up
Knowing what every man must one day know
And most know many days, how to stand up
And gradually light returns to the street
A whistle blows, the ball is out of sight,
Soon part of me will explore the deep and dark
Floor of the harbour . . I am everywhere,
I suffer and move, my mind and my heart move
With all that move me, under the water
Or whistling, I am not a little boy.
I would not want to trivialise the poem by finding parallels between the grief-shaken boy and Simon, but 'as he stands, rigid, trembling' certainly admirably describes Simon's waiting for the throw of the ball -- not, though, the 'epistemology of loss' as much as the anticipation of -- what? What is it that drives ball drive? What does Simon expect at the end of the chase?
So, unexpectedly, we end up in the realm of philosophy again. Because who is it that Simon reminds us of in his tireless chasing after a ball that is repeatedly flung out of his reach for him to pursue all over again? Why, Sisyphus of course, rolling his rock uphill eternally, only to have it roll back down again. And now we see what Camus meant, in The Myth of Sisyphus, when he said 'We must imagine Sisyphus happy': Sisyphus had ball drive.

The Rise of the Working-Class Tattoos
Here's one for all you blue-collar full-timers out there.
We decided to show off some of our blue-collar pride through our favorite medium — the traditionally proletariat art form of tattoos. So pour yourself a cup of ambition and get ready to go to work with these pieces of body art that honor all the hard workers of the world. We grind with you.
The history of tattoos has deep working-class roots of its own. Though body art has always been a luxury that many people can't simply afford, the individuals who have taken tattooing as a career are skilled laborers. Many of them also come from staunchly blue-collar backgrounds. Some of the most famous tattooists in history, such as Sailor Jerry and Maud Wagner, had hard-knock childhoods, and made it by bootstrapping themselves into the industry. To put it simply, pretty much every tattooist out there, with the exception of a select privileged or famous few, has to hustle to make a good living. It is, in addition, as much of an artisan practice as it is an art form. Tattooing even has a traditional apprenticeship system similar to how worker's guilds hand down knowledge from masters to journeymen in their respective crafts.
Though we've seen tattoo tributes to blue-collar existence in everything from photorealism to cubism, the ones done in the traditional American style seem most fitting given the subject matter's historical relationship with the art form in the US. As people who often feel worked to death ourselves, we particularly appreciate the popular cap-wearing skull motif. Smoke 'em if you got 'em, boys.
If you want to see more tattoos by any of the artists who made these awesome working-class themed pieces, please pay your union dues by visiting their Instagrams. Furthermore, if you want to show off how proud you are to come from a blue-collar upbringing, consider hitting up one of these hard-working folks to tattoo you.

Burgundy & Provence 2020 Uniworld River Cruise
Follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh, Cézanne and Gauguin on this exquisite journey through southern France; the same beautiful countryside and culture that inspired the masters will now inspire you.
Cruise the Rhône and Saône rivers, enjoying the region's incomparable wine and cuisine and discovering its many treasures—from the medieval wonders of UNESCO-designated Avignon to Lyon's lively Les Halles food market. Stroll the very streets of Arles made famous by Van Gogh. Visit Avignon's majestic Palace of the Popes. Experience "Village Day" in enchanting Viviers, including a recital of music composed by Bach and Handel. And for those who wish for a more active exploration of the area, you can kayak on the tranquil Gardon River under the UNESCO-designated Pont du Gard; hike the steepest vineyards on the Rhône; and pedal through the city designed with bike riders in mind while in Lyon. Explore unforgettable "Burgundy & Provence" where tradition is as deeply rooted as the historic grapevines on the hills.
Arrive at Marseille International Airport, where you will be transferred to the ship docked in Avignon.
FEATURED EXCURSIONS: Arles walking discovery tour OR Tarascon walking discovery tour
Explore one of two sun-drenched Provençal towns today, each with an allure all its own. Known for its remarkable Roman ruins, Arles so inspired Van Gogh that he painted some 200 paintings there; Tarascon boasts an ancient castle, as well as a local legend about a ferocious dragon. Arles has existed since the sixth century BC, when the ancient Greeks founded it and named it Theline. It was here that the Romans built their first bridge across the Rhône River, creating a vital overland route between Italy and Spain and facilitating the expansion of their empire. Long renowned as one of the region's most attractive cities, it lured artist Vincent van Gogh, who painted hundreds of works here (including Sunflowers and The Yellow House) in just 15 months. A short distance from Arles is the ancient and charming town of Tarascon. Its many medieval sites include a 12th-century church and a 15th-century castle that is rich with tales of a beloved ruler. Bask in the warmth of the Provençal sunlight in either of these friendly Mediterranean towns. A special Captain's Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.
FEATURED EXCURSIONS: Avignon walking discovery tour with choice of Palace of the Popes OR Pont du Gard OR choice of exclusive "Off the Beaten Path" Avignon walking discovery tour, and exclusive guided "Go Active" kayak ride on the Gardon River
The walled city of Avignon is one of the most fascinating towns in southern France, with a host of historic gems to explore—including the fortress residence of rebellious popes who broke from Rome and once lived and ruled here. You'll see the Palace of the Popes and much more today, and also have a chance to kayak under a 2,000-year-old Roman aqueduct. Avignon is home to the medieval bridge immortalized in the folk song "Sur le Pont d'Avignon," as well as the mighty Palace of the Popes. From a distance, the picture-perfect city center looks as though it has been lifted straight from the pages of a history book, but all you need to do is step inside its medieval walls to discover the prosperous heart of contemporary Avignon.
FEATURED EXCURSIONS: Exclusive intimate Viviers "Village Day"
Meet some new friends today in the village of Viviers; encounters that really get at the heart and soul of the French people and their culture and traditions. No matter whom you get to know—a pottery maker, a dance teacher or a local homeowner—you'll have an enjoyable and truly authentic experience, something you'll remember for years to come. An enchanting village where time seems to have stopped centuries ago, Viviers has a long and storied past that goes back more than 1,600 years—and a splendid architectural heritage to match. At one time, Viviers was divided along religious lines—the clergy lived in the upper part of the town, the laity in the lower part. Your exploration of the town will take you through both parts, as you begin at the crest and make your way to the riverbank.
FEATURED EXCURSIONS: Choice of Tournon and Tain-I'Hermitage village stroll with wine tasting OR exclusive guided "Go Active" Hermitage vineyards hike with wine tasting.
If you love fine wine, you'll love the twin villages of Tournon and Tain-l'Hermitage. Whether you opt for a guided walk or a more vigorous vineyard hike, you'll also have a chance to taste the local specialty—wonderful wines made primarily from Syrah grapes.
FEATURED EXCURSIONS: Choice of exclusive "Do as the Locals Do" Lyon tour OR exclusive silk weavers walking discovery tour OR exclusive guided "Go Active" Lyon peninsula bike tour, and exclusive Lyon "Illuminations" tour.
As the epicenter of French gastronomy, Lyon is a city of tantalizing contrasts. There's much to explore here, from the work of culinary visionaries to silk weavers' secret passageways. After your choice of excursions, embrace the locals' favorite mode of transportation with a patisserie-fueled bike ride—a great way to see the sights. Two rivers: one tranquil, one torrential. Two hills: one for labor, where the sound of the silk weavers' looms used to echo; the other for prayers, crowned by a spectacular basilica. Two cities, as different as night and day: one boasting colorful Old World façades, medieval mansions and hidden passageways; one with a sophisticated urbanity reminiscent of Paris. Situated at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, and with roots stretching back over 2,000 years to the days of Julius Caesar, Lyon is a place of fascinating dualities. Today you have your choice of ways to explore this city of contrasts: Sample its culinary riches with a visit to its peerless market hall or follow the footsteps of the silk weavers in the old quarter. For a more active option, see the city from its extensive—and lovely—bike paths.
FEATURED EXCURSIONS: Beaune, Hospices de Beaune and open-air food market visit.
The pace of life is decidedly more relaxed in Burgundy, where endless rows of grapes hang heavy on the vine. The capital of the region's wine trade, Beaune, is renowned for its history, beauty and highly prized wine, as well as its medieval-era hospital—the Hospices de Beaune. Located in the southernmost part of Burgundy, Mâcon, a Saône River port, is your gateway to Beaune.
Disembark the ship and transfer to the Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport for your flight home, or extend your stay with a visit to Paris.

Aberdeen World War One project spans the generations
Published on 2 October 2018
School children have teamed up with the nephew of a soldier who died in World War One to research the story behind the names on an Aberdeen war memorial.
Bridge of Don Remembers, a group made up of nine schools and three local churches, is urging anyone with a connection or information to come forward.
Part of the aim of the community project, which was officially launched at the war memorial today is to encourage people of all ages to connect across the generations.
Working alongside the Oldmachar branch of Legion Scotland, the schools will each put together an exhibition, take part in outreach activities and attend services during the week of the centenary anniversary of the Armistice.
One of the 49 names on the memorial is Private John 'Jack' Tough, who died during the third phase of the Battle of the Somme in northern France on September 22, 1916, aged 19.
Private Tough had emigrated to Canada but joined the 2nd Battalion of the Canadian Infantry and was deployed back to Europe.
He is buried in the 2nd Canadian Cemetery near Contalmaison, a few miles from the River Somme.
The soldier's nephew, also named John Tough of Bridge of Don said that the tragically young death of his uncle was a lesson in "the horrors of war".
"He was my father's brother and was killed on the banks of the Somme", the 80 year old former member of the RAF added.
"He grew up not far from where the war memorial is now sited in Bridge of Don."
Aberdeen Lord Provost, Councillor Barney Crockett, attended the launch event.
He said: "It's an absolute privilege to be here today to lend my support to a fabulous project that both commemorates the Bridge of Don's war dead and involves all local schools in researching and celebrating the men behind the names.
"It's a particular honour to have met John Tough, whose uncle gave up his life for his country in the First World War.
"It's so important that the men and the tragedy of the conflicts are never forgotten and so my thanks goes to the Church of Scotland, the Oldmachar branch of Legion Scotland and all the Bridge of Don schools for their superb contributions in the build up to what will be the centenary of the Armistice."
Sue Thomson, a member of the chaplaincy team at St Columba's Church of Scotland and organiser for BOD Remembers, spoke of her "privilege" at being involved with the project from the start.
"When we first discussed it at a school chaplaincy meeting I don't think either the head teachers or the ministers and youth workers thought it would take off in the way it has", she said.
"In this 100th year since the end of World War One, it is so important we stop and remember as a community - BOD Remembers is allowing us to do just that.
"With the churches, schools and Legion Scotland working together, we're able to create links across the generations and learn from each other.
"I am so enjoying watching children research the names on the war memorial, create artwork, host coffee mornings for senior citizens in our community and work towards our two special acts of Remembrance."
The project will culminate in nine days of activities beginning with a launch service with an Act of Remembrance on Friday, November 2 and finishing with a Community Act of Remembrance which is open to anyone on Sunday 11 November by the War Memorial.
During the same week there will be nine handmade displays featuring hundreds of poppies created by pupils.
You can find out more about Bridge of Don Remembers via their blog, or on Facebook and Twitter, or by emailing.

The quality of treatment in a drug rehabilitation center is determined by many factors, one of which is the level of professionalism and expertise of the staff in handling such matters. You will see later on some of the important factors you may want to consider while choosing a drug rehabilitation center for your recovery and freedom from drug or alcohol addiction. Factors to Consider when Selecting a Rehab Facility One of the most basic things to consider is the type of facility your condition applies to. As an addict, you first need to see a medical professional who will assess you and recommend the best rehab facility that will be most beneficial to you. Basically, there are three kinds of rehab facilities; Long term Residential,
Short term Residential and Outpatient Treatment Centers
Long-term treatment programs usually last no less than 6 months and in some cases can be up to a year while short term care centers last anywhere from a couple of weeks to 4 months. Another thing to consider is your own personal individual needs. Christian patients particularly may want to get into a rehab program that is Christian based. They feel like such a facility will provide them not only with recovery but also restore their Christian faith. Patients who are not Christians may also want to get proper
Christian counseling in addition to getting treatment
It goes without saying that budget is also a deciding factor when selecting a rehab facility that suits you. As a patient or the one who is footing the bill, you will typically go for a facility that is friendlier to your pockets yet offers good quality services.
If a patient has special needs, for example; if they are handicapped, they will consider certain needs. A rehab center that tends to handicapped patients or at least has handicapped enabled facilities like ramps is better suited to tend to them. There is also the choice between a local rehab and a rehab abroad. This is a personal decision to make. You, as the patient, will assess yourself and know which scenario provides you with the best chance of recovery. Some people choose to go to rehabs very far from home to avoid temptations of relapsing while some choose rehabs closer to home in order to feel like they are in familiar grounds and are welcomed.

What do you do with your guilt? The message of the world stands totally opposed to God and His Word on this issue. Rather than suppressing the voice of conscience, God has much to say regarding the remedy - summed up in the word "atonement".

Employers Requesting Facebook Access May Face Federal Consequences
Add the United States Senate to the growing list of legislative bodies considering new laws that would ban employers from requiring job applicants to turn over their Facebook usernames and passwords as part of the background investigation process. As the number of stories of applicants rejected or employees being "Facebook-fired" has grown, savvy social media users have adapted by increasing their privacy settings to the point where approximately 3 out of 4 Facebook pages hide information from public view.
Deprived of the treasure trove of information contained on a job applicant's Facebook page, some employers have started asking for access to job applicants' social networking accounts as part of the interview process. The requests have taken a number of forms, from requiring disclosure of passwords, to "friending" HR or the hiring manager, to requiring a live log-in during the interview. While privacy advocates have analogized such requests to requiring employees to turn over their house keys, this overloooks the fact that passwords can be changed, or managers "de-friended" after the interview. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that some privacy issues are implicated by employers who search social media accounts that are not otherwise publicly available.
Even without the proposed federal legislation expressly banning this kind of pre-hire screening, adopting such a hiring policy is risky. The federal Stored Communications Act prohibits the access of electronic communications — which would include Facebook postings — without the user's authorization. That authorization must be freely given and not coerced. At least one case, Pietrylo v. Hillstone Restaurant Group, has ruled that a management request for login information and passwords to otherwise private employee social media accounts can be coercive and violative of the Stored Communications Act. In addition, there are risks to learning information about a candidate the hiring manager may later prefer not to have known (such as age, race, disability, religion, or genetic information).
We will be closely watching Congress and state legislatures as they work on legislation addressing these issues.
