Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Vintage Rugs
People from all different regions, faiths, and racial groups have created area rugs for centuries. Stylistically vintage rugs have the same appeal as vintage furniture. They are clearly defined by the 20th century and by the celebration of new ideas and values for a modern lifestyle. Fine art and quality craftsmanship are two of the main components of vintage rug design. Vintage rugs were typically made after 1920. Antique rugs are considered to be made before the 1920.
The modern design movement first emerged in the 1920's. It has evolved through interpreting modern design through the mid-20th century. Modernism is a great reflection of the transition from the era of the Victorian salons into the era of cafe society.
Art Deco represented for a very long time has represented high fashion and luxury in France. The studios of Emile Jacques Ruhlmann, Jules Leleu, Paul Follot and Maurice Dufrene are probably the best known for this type of interior decoration. Ivan Da Silva Bruhns and Paule Leleu, the daughter of Jules Leleu designed rugs for the house of Leleu while Suzanne Guiguichon was designing rugs for Maurice Dufrene. Other infamous rug designers included Marion Dorn, Jules Coudyser, Rene Crevel and Vladimir Boberman. Bold colorful floral designs and graphic geometric patterns were equally popular during this time period.
Simultaneously the famous Bauhaus school was founded in Germany with the philosophy of combining fine art training and apprenticeships with craftsmen and theoretical instruction. The most widely known Bauhaus weavers included Johannes Iten, Gunta Stolz and Anni Albers. The Bauhaus school and movement is credited with having unsurpassed influence on art deco rugs and is clearly apparent in Scandinavian rug design.
Scandinavian rugs and particularly Swedish Rugs have become known for intricate weaving techniques, exceptional color palettes and most importantly their compatibility with modern and also contemporary interiors. Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom is widely recognized as one of the most influential Designers and weavers of Swedish rugs establishing her own company in 1919. Barbro Nilsson became the director and chief designer of the company in 1942 after Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom's death the year before. Other important designers of Swedish rugs in the mid 20th century include Ingrid Dessau, Marin Hemmingson, Sigvard Bernadotte, Brita Grahn, Edna Martin and Viola Grasten. All of whom were designing throughout the mid 20th century and even later in history. Vintage carpets have recently gained in popularity for interior designers due to their frequently minimalistic designs and muted color palettes.
Rug production in China during this period was absolutely influenced by the fine Art Deco rugs being produced in France. Chinese Deco rugs tend to be more floral than geometric. These beautiful rugs do appear to have an Asian influence particularly in the use of colors, occasionally bamboo vines, and leaves. They are also clearly modern in the scale of the design.
Also included in the vintage rugs category are Moroccan rugs. Moroccan rugs have a very unique and distinct look. They typically have tribal patterns and are graphic and geometric. Moroccan rug motifs influenced designers such as Ivan Da Silva Bruhn and Vladimir Boberman. American Interior Designer Francis Elkins used them in some of her most notable interiors in the 1930's and 1940's.
At the same time the modernist movement was growing rapidly in the United States and was widely accepted here most likely as a result of major exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and at the Metropolitan Museum. These exhibitions presented the movement to the masses. Some of the most notable textile and rug designers working in the United States included Donald Desky, Stanislav V'Soske, Eliel Saarinen, Loja Saarinen (the mother of Eero Saarinen) and Ruth Reeves. After the close of the Bauhaus school many of the architects and designers associated with the school immigrated to The United States including Josef and Anni Albers.

Rabbah : Michelin's recommendations
From the top of one of the jebels on which the city was initially built, there are fine views over Amman, the capital of Jordan. This huge modern urban sprawl is home to half the Jordanian population as a result of massive expansion since the mid-20C. Only downtown, the city centre, and its neighbouring districts retain any traces of the ancient Philadelphia, which stood here until the 13C: a theatre, citadel, Umayyad palace… not forgetting the collections of the archaeological museum.

Shepard Fairey, Artist Behind Obama "HOPE" Poster, Tied To The Edge 103.9's New Logo
Holy shit. Looks like the "new" logo The Edge 103.9 apparently ripped off from defunct LA station Indie 103.1 was actually designed by Shepard Fairey, the dude who did the famous "HOPE" poster for Barack Obama's campaign. His work is enshrined in NY's MOMA and The Smithsonian. Oof.
On the plus side, this shows The Edge's people have great taste. On the downside, Fairey is a heavy hitter with a history of involvement in litigation, who is unlikely to suffer this silently. We're trying to contact him now.
Yikes. We "HOPE" The Edge gets through this unscathed.
In related news, The Arizona Republic has finally caught up to where we were yesterday with The Edge story. Congrats guys.

Sweet Sixteen Songs
Happy Birthday Sweet 16 = Neal Sedaka (late 1950`s)
Sixteen Candles = Crest (1950`s) also recorded by Patsy Cline I believe.
Your 16 = Ringo Star (1970`s)
She was only 16 = Dr. Hook (1970`s)
Into the Night = I think this has been recorded 2 times
Simply Red (late 1980`s) I think it was also in the 1970`s but I don`t know who the artist is.
I also made a list of the Disney Songs that you girls turning 16 grew up listening to and loving from the Disney movie`s. Disney has a CD of these songs but they are done by other artist than the Original`s from the movies so I had to find them individually by the artist in the movie. ( I will enjoy those songs as well)
They are as follows:
Under the Sea (theme from Little Mermaid)
Beauty and the Beast
A Whole New World (Aladin) by Celine Deon
Can you feel the Love tonight (Lion King) by Elton John
Colors of the Wind (Pocohanas) Vanissa Williams
Good Luck in your Party Planing
Thanks alot

Bud Selig: we don't need replay. Just look at our attendance!
Jul 2, 2012, 5:15 PM EDT
Bud Selig spoke with the media this afternoon. John Shea reposted one of the Commissioner's answers about expanding instant replay:
People in our sport don't want any more. Given our attendance and everything we're doing, we're in the right place with instant replay.
We've heard Selig erroneously claim that no one wants instant replay a million times — of course people in the game want it or else they wouldn't have included an explicit provision about it in the latest collective bargaining agreement — but this new twist is too much. Attendance shows that people are fine with instant replay? Really? As if increased attendance has anything to do with it?
It's nonsensical, as there is no relation — or at least there should be no relation — between the public's willingness to purchase tickets and the Commissioner's decision to make technical improvements to the game. As a response to the specific question and as a piece of logic. it's simply incoherent.
And now that I think about it, it's less about an answer that makes no sense as much as it is an answer that gives away Selig's hand: no single innovation that baseball truly takes seriously is about improving the game. It's all about the bottom line. "Who cares if we can improve the product? People are still buying tickets!"
It's a horribly complacent position to take. But hey, as long as a problem in the game doesn't hurt revenue, who cares? As long as an improvement doesn't increase revenue, why bother? That's what Selig is saying here. Find me an example in American business history where such thinking didn't lead an industry to ruin.
- chumthumper - Jul 3, 2012 at 1:45 PM
Craig, I absolutely agree. Selig and the owners only do what enhances their bottom line. That's why we have wild card games and soon, more undeserving teams qualifying. One of these days, the World Series will be broken into pre-Christmas and post-New Years games. And it doesn't matter how many season games you win, home field advantage is determined by an exhibition game. Another sad point, is one day this bozo will be given a bust in the HOF as the greatest thing since sliced bread..
- kp20520 - Jul 3, 2012 at 3:34 PM
Do it like the NHL. Home base in Toronto makes the calls. Have a team of experts sit in front of 60″ top of the line tv. Quick, accurate and doesn't slow the game down.
- anxovies - Jul 4, 2012 at 12:10 PM
I really hate to find myself on the side of the likes of Bud Selig, but even a blind pig sometimes finds an acorn. One of the attractions of baseball is its human scale. In football the experience is much different than baseball, you don't need to be close to the field to enjoy the game. In fact, being close to the sidelines in football is not necessarily the best place to watch the game, that's why the cameras are placed high in the grandstands. In baseball a big part is being up close, even when watching it on TV. Even the cheapest bleacher seats gets you closer to the game and the players than football. Depending on TV replays to decide important moments in the game cheapens the unique human experience of the ballpark, Sometimes getting it right is not necessarily getting it better. I can't believe I am agreeing with Selig on something.

The Mineshaft 'Cap is Fair Grounds' designed prep for the
Grade II New Orleans Handicap, showcase race for older horses on the main track that will be run on
Louisiana Derby Day March 30.
"That was a pretty good work for Mark Valeski," trainer
Larry Jones said during
training hours on Mardi Gras morning at Fair Grounds. "He's really never
been much of a work horse but he surprised me a little bit in that
work. He actually galloped out on his own.
"Rosie (Napravnik)
was up for the work," Jones said speaking of Fair Grounds' two-time defending
jockey champion. "She came
back and said he (Mark Valeski) did it all on his own and it surprised
her a little bit. Usually I don't even have to be up on my pony when
Mark works because he
just eases up when it's over. When she went by me on the pony I
just let her keep going, but
when it looked like she was having a little trouble pulling him up I
started to think I should have gone after her to help pull him up, but
she was able to handle him
just like always. But she did say he surprised her a little bit, too."

An official 40.6°C makes it another record day for cityBy Ke Jiayun and Cai Wenjun | August 7, 2013, Wednesday | Print Edition
Shanghai equaled its hottest day record yesterday when the mercury climbed to 40.6 degrees Celsius at the city's benchmark observatory, although it was higher in some parts of the city.
The temperature at a weather observatory in central Pudong New Area hit 41.6 degrees at 1:27pm and areas in Jiading District also experienced highs above 41 degrees at that time.
The 40.6 degrees reading at the city's benchmark Xujiahui observatory, also noted on July 26, was the highest official temperature since 1873. The previous hottest day at the observatory was 40.2 degrees on July 12, 1934.
Yesterday's official peak came at 1:40pm, making it the second day this summer when the mercury topped 40 degrees and the sixth since the Xujiahui observatory began keeping records.
The Shanghai Meteorological Bureau issued its fourth red high-temperature alert of the summer, the highest in a three-level system, at 10am yesterday.
The coolest place in the city was in coastal Lingang New City in Pudong where the maximum temperature was 35 degrees.
Today will be another hot day with temperatures again reaching 40 degrees, and forecasters say the heat will continue for another four days at least, with the mercury rising to between 37 and 39 degrees.
Sunday may bring a little relief with a subtropical high moving north, the weather bureau said.
"The city's extreme heat was caused by three factors: sinking air, southwest wind and dry conditions with no rain," said Fu Yi, a chief service officer at the bureau.
Ye Dianxiu, an expert at the National Meteorological Center, said yesterday: "Besides the influence of global warming, the accelerating urbanization, decrease of vegetation cover, expanding city size and increasing population density all contribute to the urban heat island effect, which leads to extreme high temperatures."
Shanghai's air was moderately polluted with an air quality index of 158 yesterday. Ozone was the main air pollutant, and children, the elderly and people with breathing or heart problems were advised to reduce outdoor activities.
City hospitals said the number of patients they were seeing remained high but the temperature dissuaded many non-urgent cases from visiting.
Xia Lin, of the Shanghai Children's Medical Center, said the hospital received about 4,300 patients yesterday. The hospital usually receives more than 3,000 patients a day.
Xinhua Hospital, one of the city's busiest medical facilities, has seen around 10,000 patients a day during the recent hot spell, with most arriving in the morning. The hospital receives about 7,000 patient on normal days.
"We started registration at 6:30am for the better convenience of patients," said Qiu Jiani, a hospital official.
The Shanghai Health and Family Planning Commission was advising people to attend neighborhood health centers or district-level hospitals for common and chronic diseases instead of traveling to larger hospitals.
Near hospitals, the heat was proving a problem for patients waiting for a bus home.
"I felt dizzy after standing for 10 minutes in the sun," said a woman waiting at an unsheltered bus stop near Changhai Hospital.
Passengers said shelters should be installed at every stop.

Lionel Messi's stunning solo strike in Argentina's 4-3 win over Brazil in June is among the 10 nominations for the FIFA goal of the year.
Goals by Colombia striker Radamel Falcao, Brazil forward Neymar and France playmaker Hatem Ben Arfa are also on the shortlist, which will be reduced to three on November 29 following a public vote on the websites of FIFA and France Football magazine.
The winner of the FIFA Puskas Award, named after Hungarian great Ferenc Puskas, will be revealed on January 7 at the Ballon d'Or gala in Zurich.
Neymar won the 2011 award and will look to retain the prize courtesy of his goal for Santos against Internacional on March 7, when he scored following a mazy dribble from the halfway line.

BO: We got "carried away" letting our daughters talk to Access Hollywood
Yesterday's lead story on this site was the Obamas' decision to parade their daughters in front of Access Hollywood's cameras during a family birthday celebration.
On the Today Show this morning, Barack Obama stumbled his way through an ashen-faced acknowledgment that, golly gee, maybe it wasn't such a good idea and, uh, he's slow.
Watch and listen carefully:
He's got no one to blame but himself for this bad judgment call that wasn't, to borrow Michelle O's phrase, good for his kids. Yet, Obama makes it seem as though the cameras just magically appeared from nowhere, taking him by surprise. As if the four-part interview were a spur of the moment decision that "suddenly…cropped up." Horse-hockey you can believe in.
I've transcribed the exchange:
LAUER: …some people said wait a minute, the senator is trying to have it both ways. On the one hand, you want to protect your private life. On the other hand, here you are sitting with your two daughters and allowing them to answer questions. Did you make the right call on that?
OBAMA: Uh, you know, I think that we, uh, got carried away in the moment. We were having a birthday party and everybody was laughing, and suddenly this thing cropped up. And, uh, I didn't catch it quickly enough. And I was surprised by the attention it received as well.
LAUER: Senator, if you had to do it over again?
OBAMA: Yah, I won't be doing it again and we won't be doing it again.
A four-part interview that probably entailed hours of set-up, makeup, mic checks, and post-wrap schmoozing…and he "didn't catch it quickly enough."
On a more serious note, compare and contrast Obama and McCain on Iran's latest missile tests.

Residents enjoy new Denver Skate and Bike Park
By: ALICE HUMMER Review Correspondent, Staff Writer
Denver Borough Council learned on May 14 that over $22,000 worth of repairs to the flood damaged Denver Skate Park are finished and decided to open the park on May 17 following a brief ceremony.
Denver Borough Manager Mike Hession noted that with the "string of 70 degree days we've experienced, it would be good to open as soon as possible."
Types of equipment allowed in the new park include skateboards, BMX-style bicycles and scooters. The name changed to Denver Skate and Bike Park.
"This is a big deal for the Cocalico area," councilman Rodney Redcay said.
Skateboarders from all municipalities in the Cocalico School District, not just Denver Borough, use the skate park. After the September flooding of the park, a Schoeneck area Cocalico High School student, representing about 30 skateboarders, asked council if and when repairs to the skate park would occur.
At that time, Hession explained FEMA representatives needed to inspect the park site before approving funding any repairs. FEMA is covering almost all of the repair costs with a check for $21,800.
Service life of the new equipment and surface replacement is a minimum of 10 years.
Citizens are happy that skateboarders can return to the park and not use the steps of public building for their feats of physical prowess.
"I was riding here forever before," said 18-year-old Nick Strickler," a restaurant cook from Reinholds, at opening night. "I've been waiting since it closed."
"I started coming here when it was first built," said Cocalico High School junior Kenneth Kaufman, a Denver resident. "I was seven or eight years old."
The crowd on Thursday was primarily male. When asked why girls don't participate, student Zach Bottenfield said, "It's not a girls' sport; they don't like to get hurt.
Watching the students' positive behavior during the dedication and then how they used the new facility, Barbara Fink noticed the care that students took to safely use the new park.
"It's amazing how the students take turns," she said. "First the skaters use the ramps and the bikers wait awhile. Then the bikers get their turn."
Lous Casanova, recreation board chariman, said he's very glad the youth have this place to play and be safe.
"I hated to see the flooding; however, in the end, we have major improvement," he said.
In other council business at the May 14 meeting:
? Approval was made to obtain a dumpster for corrugated cardboard from Good's Disposal at no cost to the borough. Placement of the dumpster is to be determined.
? Emergency management coordinator Andy Boyer attended quarterly training on the Lancaster County Hazmat Team.
"This Hazmat Team is all volunteer. There are only three in the state that are still all volunteer," said Boyer.
? Police Chief George Beever reported on recent incidents in the borough, including the theft of an antique Army war helmet valued at $3,900, damage to the laundry room at Denver Valley Estates, and a South Fourth Street resident shooting from an upper story window at street signs with a BB gun that looked like an assault rifle. Police also recovered several bicycles that were reported stolen.
? Council agreed to purchase an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for the Denver Community Pool at a reduced cost of $1,000 through the Lancaster Heart and Stroke Association. An AED wall sleeve at $45 was added.
"This is a great cost," said council president Walter Fink. "Normally they're over $2,000."
? Council passed a Denver Community Pool private group rental policy for rental of the community pool outside of the regular public hours during the season.

Design of new Windfarm Support Vessel utilizing the Voith Linear Jet
BMT Nigel Gee Ltd, a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd, has announced further collaboration with Turbine Transfers, one provider of Windfarm Support Vessels (WSVs), on its latest development - the design of a 19m WSV utilising the Voith Linear Jet.
The Voith Linear Jet (VLJ) is an innovative propulsor unit developed by Voith that provides considerable advantages to the operator over both conventional propellers and waterjets. Voith has undertaken extensive numerical modelling and model testing of the propulsor but this will be the first application in a vessel. The VLJ is an advanced ducted propeller with a stator positioned in the duct aft of the propeller, in a similar arrangement to that of a waterjet. For the same installed power the VLJ is expected to provide a bollard pull approximately 50% higher than that of a waterjet and in excess of 30% higher than conventional propellers.
Bollard pull is important for the WSV operator in docking operations as a higher bollard pull could allow for personnel transfers in higher sea states. The advantage of the VLJ is that the increased bollard pull is provided without a requirement for increased installed power. Most importantly, since the VLJ has a torque curve similar to that of a waterjet, the torque limits of the engine do not impact the available bollard pull which can be the case with fixed pitch propellers. Model tests have shown that at speed the VLJ is capable of delivering efficiencies at least equal to, if not higher than, those achieved with fixed pitch propellers.
Voith is now undertaking extensive model tests in conjunction with BMT to optimise the VLJ design and to validate performance. The production of the first VLJ900 units is underway and construction of the vessel will start shortly at Holyhead Marine, for completion early next year.
Costa's two new cruise ships will be the largest ever built based on guest capacity; Costa will join sister brand AIDA Cruises in building the first-ever cruise

Fear, sorrow and uncertainty stalk the streets in these troubled times
So there I am, pounding the street, revolving it all, when suddenly an epiphanous moment...
We don't, as a rule, do torture in this column. Still less do we do beheadings. We know our limits. But if this really is the countdown to apocalypse, there's an argument for clearing one's desk and staring into the dying sun.
We don't, as a rule, do torture in this column. Still less do we do beheadings. We know our limits. But if this really is the countdown to apocalypse, there's an argument for clearing one's desk and staring into the dying sun.
I pound the streets when I am frightened, and I pound them when I don't know what I think. So if you felt your foundations shake last week, that was me, passing perplexed and fearful through your neighbourhood. On my mind an article by the Chilean writer Ariel Dorfman in which he reminds us of the moral test that Ivan Karamazov sets his brother, Alyosha. "Imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last, but that it was essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature - the baby beating its chest with its fist, for example - and to found that edifice on its unavenged tears, would you consent to be the architect on those conditions?"
And Alyosha's answer, "No, I would not consent."
Dorfman himself writes with that clenched classical austerity of the post-20th century artist confronting ruin. All is eerily quiet about his prose. An agonised calm, as though after the bomb. Which makes it hard to disagree with anything he says because that would be like disagreeing with the victim of an atrocity. Not that there is much to disagree with in his invocation of The Brothers Karamazov as a text for our times, nor his updating of Ivan Karamazov's question to meet contemporary contingency. Never mind the innocent baby; what if the person being tortured knows the whereabouts of a weapon primed to destroy millions - would Alyosha give his consent then?
Dorfman does not presume to speak for Alyosha, but the framing of the question plainly prejudges the answer. Are we so "scared", he asks, that we will knowingly permit others to torture for us, that we will give our name to "acts of terror that will eternally corrode and corrupt us"? No, we are not, the Alyosha in us is meant to reply.
Except that I am so scared. And I am not certain that I must in every instance say no to what Dorfman calls "acts of terror" - precisely when it is in order to forestall terror, in his own imagining of the dilemma, that we permit such acts to be done. For all the meticulousness of his thinking, doesn't Dorfman, at the last, elide the perpetrator and the victim? And why finally is he so scornful of our fears, as though there is pusillanimity in dreading our extinction?
So there I am, pounding the street, revolving it all, when suddenly an epiphanous moment ...
Coming towards me, looking as distracted as I must, a handsome man of early middle age, black hair flecked with grey, a bristling beard, strong in a leather coat, though it is a little too warm for a leather coat, Islamic in appearance, whatever that means, just as I am Jewish in appearance, whatever that means. For no reason that I can give at the time, I seek his eye. But we have almost passed each other when I realise he has spoken to me. I could just keep walking. He could have abused me. These are tense times. But if he has, and for this too I can give no reason, I want to confront him. Anyone would think I'm up to here with being abused by gentlemen of an Islamic appearance. In fact, not a one has said a wrong word to me or about me that I know of. So why do I turn and approach him, primed for trouble? Or is what I am really seeking intimacy?
Whatever he said the first time, now he asks me for money. I will not attempt to reproduce his words. His English is poor and he is too distressed to make much sense. Something about being an Egyptian, about being cared for by a Pakistani family in north London, about not being able to get work, though he tries every day, and about not being able to feed his children. Tears start to spring from his eyes. Not trickles of tears but fountains of them. Warm tears, too, they look. Not the cold tears of the practised beggar. Close up, his eyes are very beautiful. Honeyed. A lovely, mellifluous brown. Only his teeth, I notice, are rotten. And I can't decide what touches me more: what's beautiful about him or what's broken.
I open my wallet and give him what I hope is not an insulting amount. Then I touch the leather sleeve of his coat. He touches my arm in return. What else is there to do? He is weeping even more now than he was before, an unstoppable stream of tears, part hopelessness, part (God save us) gratitude.
Am I getting something unholy out of this? If I have been seeking intimacy, Jew to Muslim, is the experience more exquisite for me because he is asking and I am giving? I hope not, but who knows. I welcome the occasion for pity, that much I can say, and I think it is diffused pity I am after. I want to be sorry for every one of us.
But after the touching, what? I want to tell him that all will be well, but can't. Instead, I do something very strange - I put my fingers to my mouth and then extend them to him. What am I doing? Blowing a kiss? I don't blow kisses. Not to strange men. He, too, is mystified, but supposing it is something we do here, he returns the gesture. The gaucherie of it all is more than I can bear. To stem my own tears, I turn on my heels and leave him.
Looking back, I reckon that was a kiss I blew. A kiss of sorrow, partly. But also a kiss of fear for all of us, maybe kissing us both goodbye.

O Lord, in your anger punish me not; in your wrath chastise me not. For your arrows have sunk deep in me; your hand has come down upon me. There is no health in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no wholeness in my bones because of my sin. For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are like a heavy burden, beyond my strength. Noisome and festering are my sores, because of my folly. I am stooped and bowed down profoundly; all the day I go in mourning. For my loins are filled with burning pains; there is no health in my flesh. I am numbed and severely crushed; I roar with anguish of heart. O Lord, all my desire is before you; from you my groaning is not hid. My heart throbs, my strength forsakes me; the very light of my eyes has failed me. For I am very near to falling; and my grief is with me always. Indeed, I acknowledge my guilt; I grieve over my sins. Forsake me not, O Lord,; my God be not far from me! Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. Let me know, O Lord, my end and what is the number of my days, that I may learn how frail I am. A short span you have made my days, and my life is as nought before you; only a breath is any human existence. Hear my prayer, O Lord, to my cry give ear; to my weeping be not deaf! For I am but a wayfarer before you, a pilgrim like all my fathers. Turn you gaze from me that I may find respite, ere I depart and be no more.
