Mother's Day was a couple weeks ago. Since that day also happens to correspond with my end of the semester grading frenzy, I didn't get a chance before now to post this lovely poem that my 12-year-old daughter wrote for me:
a business teacher
a pitch perfect singer
a writer of astonishing books that I love to read
a cook of marvelous foods
AND she cleans like a pro
a helper with homework
a stay up late worker
She is head shopper for birthdays, Christmas presents and other stuff
is patient (ish)
and cool (ish)
But the best thing about my mom is that she loves me
that's the best
I could get.
Yeah, I cried.

I love, love, LOVE this video. I've always had a problem with sanctimonious mothers who think THEIR way is the BEST way to raise a child.
I couldn't disagree more.
I bottle fed my children and I'm not ashamed to admit that. I used to be ashamed to admit it because whenever I would mention it on this blog, or anywhere else, quite frankly, I would get the disapproving stink eye or a snarky comment. And then I would inevitably feel inadequate and guilty.
Not anymore, dude. I'm not even going to justify my decision – I did what I thought was best for my children and my sanity.
It always annoys me whenever people feel the need to justify their decisions. I'm sure you did what you thought best. End of discussion.
And that's where I stand on motherhood issues.
Whether you bottle fed, breast fed, stayed at home, worked out of the home, used cloth diapers or disposable diapers – in the end, it's really none of my business. As long as you're doing what's best for the child and your family, it really doesn't matter. The ultimate goal is to raise our children to be responsible, educated, compassionate human beings; how you reach that goal is up to you. There is no "one size fits all" answer, no matter what you hear politicians, the media, or even other mothers try to convince us otherwise.
You do what's best for you and your family and don't you dare feel guilty about your decisions or feel like you have to justify your decisions.
Ultimately – it's none of our business how you live your life.

The First World War has survived as part of our national memory in a way no previous war has ever done. Below is an extract from Full of Hope and Fear: The Great War Letters of an Oxford Family, a collection of letters which lay untouched for almost ninety years. They allow a unique glimpse into the war as experienced by one family at the time, transporting us back to an era which is now slipping tantalizingly out of living memory. The Slaters – the family at the heart of these letters – lived in Oxford, and afford a first-hand account of the war on the Home Front, on the Western Front, and in British India. Violet and Gilbert's eldest son Owen, a schoolboy in 1914, was fighting in France by war's end.
Violet to Gilbert, [mid-October 1917]
I am sorry to only write a few miserable words. Yesterday I had a truly dreadful headache which lasted longer than usual but today I am much better . . . I heard from Katie Barnes that their Leonard has been very dangerously wounded they are terribly anxious. But are not allowed to go to him. Poor things it is ghastly and cruel, and then you read of the 'Peace Offensive' articles in the New Statesman by men who seem to have no heart or imagination. I cannot understand it . . . You yourself said in a letter to Owen last time that [the Germans] had been driven back across the Aisne 'We hope with great loss.' Think what it means in agony and pain to the poor soldiers and agony and pain to the poor Mothers or Wives. It is useless to pretend it could not be prevented! We have never tried any other way . . . No other way but cruel war is left untried. I suppose that there will be a time when a more advanced human being will be evolved and we have learnt not to behave in this spirit individually towards each other. If we kept knives & pistols & clubs perhaps we should still use them. Yesterday Pat & I went blackberrying and then I went alone to Yarnton . . . the only ripe ones were up high so I valiantly mounted the hedges regardless of scratching as if I were 12 & I got nice ones. Then I went to the Food Control counter & at last got 5 lbs. of sugar . . . It was quite a victory we have to contend with this sort of sport & victory consists in contending with obstacles.
Gilbert to Owen, [9 February 1918]
I have been so glad to get your two letters of Dec. 7th & 18th and to hear of your success in passing the chemistry; and also that you got the extension of time & to know where you are . . . I am looking forward to your letters which I hope will make me realise how you are living. Well, my dear boy, I am thinking of you continually, and hoping for your happiness and welfare. I have some hope that your course may be longer than the 4 months. I fear now there is small chance of peace before there has been bitter fighting on the west front, and little chance of peace before you are on active service. I wonder what your feelings are. I don't think I ever funked death for its own sake, though I do on other accounts, the missing a finish of my work, and the possible pain, and, very much more than these, the results to my wife & bairns. I don't know whether at your age I should have felt that I was losing much in the enjoyment of life, not as much as I hope you do. I fear you will have to go into peril of wounds, disease and death, yet perhaps the greater chance is that you will escape all three actually; and, I hope, when you have come through, you will feel that you are not sorry to have played your part.
Owen to Mrs Grafflin, [3 November 1918]
This is just a very short note to thank you for the knitted helmet that Mother sent me from you some time ago. It is very comfortable & most useful as I wear it under my tin hat, a shrapnel helmet which is very large for me & it makes it a beautiful fit.
We are now out at rest & have been out of the line for several days & have been having quite a good time though we have not had any football matches & the whole company is feeling rather cut up because our O.C. [Officer Commanding] has died of wounds. He was an excellent [word indecipherable] father to his men & officers.
Margaret Bonfiglioli was born in Oxford, where she also read English. Tutoring literature at many levels led to her involvement in innovative access courses, all while raising five children. In 2008 she began to re-discover the hoard of family letters that form the basis of Full of Hope and Fear. Her father, Owen Slater, is one of the central correspondents. After eleven years tutoring history in the University of Oxford, James Munson began researching and writing full-time. In 1985 he edited Echoes of the Great War, the diary of the First World War kept by the Revd. Andrew Clark. He also wrote some 50 historical documentaries for the BBC.

Yesterday was one of those days. It is beyond my man-sized mind how everything fit together. I had nothing to do with its success or organization. But like a giant fuel-guzzling puzzle, the last piece set in perfectly about nine o'clock. Until then, my family ranged in different directions all across the metro area. The amazing thing is that the MTC (Mom-Traffic Controller) was absent for a good portion of it.
I had business on the other side of the city that kept me away until most of the flights were filed and done. If you know Atlanta traffic, you know that being on the other side of it on a weekday means that, while only thirty miles away, I may as well have been in Guatemala in case of an emergency. Sometimes, there is just no getting home. But the MTC needed me not.
The Grandaddy taxi (my kids' favorite ride because it often stops for a milkshake) had a few trips, she called in a favor from another middle-school parent, my nephew's girlfriend made a pick-up, and I think there were two dog sleds and a rickshaw involved. Of course, this day involved multiple after school activities for every child that required extra commutes. Here is where I think the MTC was just showing off – she drove an hour north of the city on a college visit and took the only other driver of the house with her. So she wasn't even around to oversee her masterpiece!
Through some mystery of mother magic, everything worked out. I counted two children when I got home and the other two trudged through the door soon after. They looked haggard but familiar, so I'm fairly certain they are mine.
Men, lest you think you could handle this task, let me recount for you my experience on Saturday (Car Day). I had one assigned job, ONE: pick up dancer daughter at 12:30. The brakes took a little longer than expected, but I finished and went inside to wipe the grime off of my fingertips so I could handle food. While at the sink, my phone lit up with a missed text. Instantly, I had that "Oh Crap!" moment when I saw the digital readout. You guessed it, 12:40. I forgot my one job, along with my daughter who sat waiting twenty minutes away. The forgotten child's next text went to the MTC, who was at a play. I had planned to bribe my daughter's silence with ice cream. But on the frantic trip to get her, I received from the MTC saying, "Nice job, Dad." Exposed.
So, all hail the MTC! I don't know where you received your degree in family flight management, but the entire (and somehow intact) family is glad you have it!
Funny, yeah, but a lovely tribute to your wife and moms everywhere. And Saturday…smh.
you gave it a valiant effort, mark, but mothers are born with it. you stand no chance against that. wonderful and hilarious post )
Hip, Hip, Hooray!!! What a mom!!!
Hahahahaha. I'm telling you, I don't care who trys to say that men and women are the same, they most certainly aren't. We are wired differently. I've been told that it's scientifically proven that only women can effectively multi-task. :-)
I have no problem believing that. I would have thrown my hands up when I saw the list of places everyone had to go. Crazy!
I proved my family worth on Saturday…the hits just keep on coming. When they come home, they all ask if I forgot anyone today.
Yeah, I have no idea how the balls stay in the air. Mom magic, I guess
A quote worthy of Captain Obvious: God made moms and dads and gave each of them strengths. When I try to be mom, as the kids say, epic fail!!!
Your IT Director
Maybe you could write some code to help me remember if I have to pick someone up. Or teach me to use the calendar on my phone.
O man, me remember, that is an issue. The synced calendar is always with me otherwise someone somewhere is really upset. Great post boss.

by Stephanie Romero
Anyone who is a parent (or knows one—which would qualify all of us), is well aware of the mommy wars that can happen. You know the ones I'm talking about…homeschooling versus traditional schooling, stay-at-home mom versus working mom, co-sleeping versus let 'em cry it out and well, the list could go on and on.
But there's another battle that can emerge when it comes to mothers who are writers. It is the pull between parenting and pursuing your passion. Somehow we've been convinced that we must choose one or the other. Or we have to wait until a "season" or "stage" in our child's life has passed. Yet the next one could prove to be more difficult and time-consuming than the last. So we remain stuck. Or we end up feeling guilty because we've made what we perceive as the wrong choice.
For too long, mothers have been convinced that when they choose something else to pursue (other than parenting), they should feel guilty. As if being a mom is the only identifying factor in her life. When the truth is that we are so much more. We have passions that go beyond motherhood, so why not embrace them?
Do you ever feel guilty about writing? I have been there. When I've been holed up in my office downstairs for hours at a time, knowing my full attention isn't always with my children. So I have to remind myself—this is not only my passion, it's my job. I get paid to do this—which means someone is expecting me to produce. I'm teaching them responsibility and something about hard work.
But the same thing can happen when we want to take time to break away and work on that novel, polish up the manuscript or write a blog post. The guilt monster sits on our shoulder, needling away at us. "What kind of mom are you?!" And we're back to believing that in pursuing our passion as a writer, we have somehow failed as a mother.
Why do we do that to ourselves? Why do we do it to other women? Because we believe the lies. We have fallen into that trap, the one that tries to convince us we are not being a good mom if we are passionate about something other than our children. Of course, it's all about balance. But that's a different topic for another day.
The point is, I feel like women need permission to be excited about something else in life. To understand that the beauty of being a woman extends beyond motherhood. You can be a mother AND a writer. You might have to write during naptime, in the middle of the night or while they're at school. But for heaven's sake, don't wait until the "right time." Do it now. You really don't have to choose between parenting and pursuing your passion for writing—there is a way to have both.

By Simone Frizell Reiter
According to Statistics Norway, around 10,000 children under the age of 18 in Norway experience divorce every year. These numbers do not take into account non-married couples that split up. Therefore, in reality far more children experience parental separation.
Status of knowledge
Focus has been on the adversity of parental divorce, emphasising the support and safety an intact family gives. The child may experience conflict, neglect or parental alienation, and insecurity about who belongs to the family. Not only the separation itself but also the period preceding and following the divorce may disturb the child's well-being. Several studies show that parental conflict, that may be harmful to the child, is perpetuated even after the divorce. However, other studies show that when the parents are able to reduce the level of conflict after the divorce, the divorce is not exclusively negative if the child is moved from a family situation with conflicts to a more harmonious one. Society's attitude toward divorce has changed as divorce has become more common. Prejudice and stigma are less pronounced. A natural assumption is therefore that mental problems related to divorce are also reduced. However, more recent studies conclude that adults, who experienced divorce in childhood, have more mental health problems than adults from intact families.
Divorce and reduced parental contact are closely linked. Children with loss of parental contact after divorce report more mental health complaints compared to children with preserved contact. Lack of attention, support, and economic insecurity may explain some of the negative effects of a parent's absence. However, even when provided with at step-parent after divorce, these children report a lower level of well-being than children with preserved parental contact. Biological parents therefore seem to be of particular importance. Regular and frequent contact with both parents after divorce may also reduce the potential harmful effects of parental absence as seen in sole-custody households. Parental support is an important, independent risk factor to children's sense of achievement and well-being. It is shown that as children's relationship with their fathers weakens after divorce, they also lose contact with paternal grandparents and stepfamily.
Studies show that when divorce is followed by strong conflict, children may be used as a weapon between the parents. In such conflicts contact with one of the parents may be limited or brought to an end. The child is forced to ally with one of the parents, and suffers from the psychological stress this causes.
Family law in Western societies generally aims at preserving dual parental contact for the child after divorce. This is also the aim of the Norwegian legislation. The Norwegian Child Act states that the parents may come to an agreement on where the child should primarily reside. However, if the parents cannot agree on this, the court has to decide which one of the parents the child should stay with. In practical life this has, in most cases, been the mother, while the father has been reduced to a weekend parent. Due to this, the experience in Norway is that when it comes to loss of parental contact, children of divorce primarily lose contact with the father. This effect is in some cases strengthened by the primary caregiver intentionally sabotaging the other parent's visitation rights. To prevent this, the Norwegian legislation has sanctions, but these are very rarely used. A suggestion has been to introduce shared residence as a preferred solution after parental divorce, and that parents who sabotage this agreement may get restrictions on their contact with the child.
Most parents choose to take an active role in their child's upbringing, and only a small group is absent, either by choice or circumstances. Therefore, social benefit systems have built in mechanisms to compensate the lacking of the absent parent by high financial contributions to sole providers left alone in charge. The downside of these benefits is that one of the parents can gain financially on monopolising the contact with the child and in some cases the sole provider actively sabotages or reduces the other parent's contact, only to gain financially. This mechanism is strengthened by the Norwegian child maintenance system, where the level of economic support is linked to the amount of time spent with the child. Parents who share the custody in equal parts do not pay any child maintenance to each other. The combination of the systems has turned many fathers in to "child maintenance machines" because the mother would lose so much financially, sharing the custody of the child with the father. The benefits therefore undermine the aim to gain shared custody, and deprive the father of the possibility to have a close relationship with his child.
The concept of "parental alienation syndrome" is used to describe the condition where the child is alienated against one of the parents. If the government wants the children's voice to be heard in custody conflicts, they must take into account that the child is already involved in a process of demonization and slander of one of the parents. From the literature, we know the term folie à deux. The government should be careful not to act in a game that can be characterized as folie à troi (madness shared by three).
In practice, it is difficult to have an equal amount of contact with both parents unless the child lives in two places equally. What is important to consider is whether advantages of maintaining a close relationship with both parents outweigh the disadvantages of having to change residence, for instance every week or every second week. Equally shared legal custody is not the same as having the child living in two residences fifty-fifty.
The experience is that the Child Act's intention of parental agreement on a solution of custody between equal parties does not work. This is because the court, when presented the case, is legally bound to choose a single residence and almost exclusively chooses the mother.
On the basis of this knowledge it is important that the government puts effort in protecting the child's right to have contact with both parents. This work must be as unprejudiced as possible. It is not acceptable that we continue with a practice in which the legislation allows the systematic favoring of one part in conflicted divorces.

The same phrase describes my marriage and my breasts: Before the kids, they used to be such a cute couple ~ Amy Krouse RosenthalSeven years ago tonight, Jim Dear and I did not go to the movies. We went to eat at Tin Angel, I remember being shocked that at 9 months pregnant I could still eat a whole steak. Little did we know some few hours later as Small Fry entered our lives, how much our tiny marriage would be pushed and pulled and remodeled into a family.
Although we did not go to the movies that night, trips to the theater figure very prominently into our family's history. Most of our friends know how Jim Dear proposed on the stage of the Belcourt Theater. As newlyweds we went to the theater 2 and 3 times a week, sometimes dashing out at midnight. Then after kids, these became less frequent - and much earlier - treasured nights to ourselves. I vividly remember our first date night after baby to see Chronicles of Narnia, as it turns out watching an opening scene where the mother puts her kids on the train during a war is not the best idea for a new mom's fragile hormonal emotional state.
We eagerly anticipated taking Small Fry and Baby Sprout to their first movies. What fun to watch them in the darkness as their saucer eyes followed the screen! The glow of Buzz and Lightening McQueen and Princess Tiana on screen is barely a match for the movie magic glow in their eyes afterwards.
Somedays I muse about years into the future in which Jim Dear and I might once again be able to go to the movies on a moment's notice, with no babysitter or booster seat involved.
So tonight while the birthday presents for Small Fry wait downstairs to be wrapped, I'm posting this short history of our life at the movies - so far. Happy Birthday to Small Fry and happy anniversary to us.

Anna Ingwersen is my childhood best friend, aspiring novelist, and author of a new blog called Mother Freakin' Writers. She's running some great interviews about writing and mothering.
You gave all this up for us? [My children] were sad for me, and at that moment I was sad for me too, but it was also important to tell them this--because of all the things I could say to children about the time they spend on earth, this is the most important--If you are lucky, you get to make choices.I was lucky. I chose to make Halloween costumes, and birthday cakes that looked like pirate ships. I chose to direct school plays and teach poetry workshops. I started a film club and we made great films. I was part of a wonderful group of people who sold pizza for a year and earned enough money to build a labyrinth at my kids' school. I had the pleasure of knowing all their classmates, and sharing with those kids my love of words, and most of all, watching all of them grow up together. It was a great pleasure. It was an enormous pleasure.I think I chose well. And most significantly, I had the opportunity to choose. And nothing about that is sad. But it was also important to tell them every choice is a trade. Something for something else.And that morning earlier that summer when I woke up in bed with all my regrets I was thinking about that, too--of the conscious decisions you make and how they tally up, how they are the sum of your days. Go here for more.
Thanks for pointing us over! What a great blog!
Isn't it? This post continues to inspire me.
Ooh. I really love that. It's true - we are so lucky to be able to make choices. It is a true blessing.
Yes. Having the option is hugely freeing.

During this summer of multi-camping, the Fry has learned many new things: "Recycle, stop making garbage," says Go Green Camp Vandy. "Help the animals, protect their habitat," says the Nashville Zoo. "Share with your friends," says Vacation Bible School.
But my personal favorite is what the Fry learned from Safety Week at Bounce U.
"Don't be distracted while driving."
Apparently the police officer who visited admonished the kids to never text or talk and drive.... all very good and worthwhile advice. But I'd like to know why the good officer didn't talk to the kids about correcting a REAL distraction while driving, something even more dangerous than sending the occasional grocery list item to your husband before you forget for the 5th day in a row.
I'm talking about a situation like this:

Daisy doesn't care for horses, but she is 13, and I see this moment coming.
Pain for a Daughter // Anne Sexton
Blind with love, my daughter
has cried nightly for horses,
those long necked marchers and churners
that she has mastered, any and all,
reining them in like a circus hand -
the excitable muscles and the ripe neck -
tending, this summer, a pony and a foal.
She who is squeamish to pull
a thorn from the dog's paw
watched the pony blossom with distemper,
the underside of the jaw swelling
like an enormous grape,
Gritting her teeth with love,
she drained the boil and scoured it
with hydrogen peroxide until pus
ran like milk on the barn floor.
Blind with loss all winter,
in dungarees, a ski jacket, and a hard hat,
she visits the neighbors' stables,
our acreage not zoned for barns,
they who own the flaming horses
and the swan-necked thoroughbred
that she tugs at and cajoles,
thinking it will burn like a furnace
under her small-hipped English seat.
Blind with pain, she limps home;
The thoroughbred has stood on her foot.
He rested there like a building;
He grew into her foot until they were one.
The marks of the horseshoe printed
into her flesh, the tips of her toes
ripped off like pieces of leather,
three toenails swirled like shells
and left to float in blood in her riding boot.
Blind with fear, she sits on the toilet,
her foot balanced over the washbasin,
her father, hydrogen peroxide in hand,
performing the rites of the cleansing.
She bites on a towel, sucked in breath,
sucked in and arched against the pain,
her eyes glancing off me where
I stand at the door, eyes locked
on the ceiling, eyes of a stranger,
And then she cries…
Oh! My god, Help me!
Where a child would have cried "Mama!"
Where a child would have believed "Mama!"
She bit the towel and called on God,
And I saw her life, stretch out…
I saw her torn in childbirth,
And I saw her, at that moment,
in her own death,
And I knew that she knew.
Poetry Friday is hosted today by Tabatha at The Opposite of Indifference, where she's sharing some of the poems exchanged through the Summer Poem Swap she has organized. I'm participating and will have at least three to share next Friday--thanks, Tabatha!
OMG--I made the mistake of reading this at work and now I'm weeping!
What a poem! Such evocative descriptions! (My own daughter just interrupted to ask me to feed her. Sorry, Poetry, your time is up.)
What a moment!
I wasn't prepared for how this poem ended, either. Thanks for sharing.
I remember a daughter at 13 as a particularly challenging age to parent! And we had horses back then. Now the daughter's 20, and the ride is much smoother.
Good luck packing up....
Powerful stuff...I had to close my eyes and collect myself after those last lines, though.

Clearly we've all got a lot going ton right now, as is evident by the lack of posting, it's such a busy time of year with the holidays looming and lots to wrap up by the end of the year. Today, at my house, we take a step back to do some celebrating; it is little Tilda's first birthday! Over the weekend we had a few friends over for cake and singing. Today we'll go to lunch and open presents. What a wonderful year it's been.
Here are a few pictures from the weekend. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Happy Birthday to Tilda! My how this past year has flown. Tilda is a doll. I love that last picture of her.
I've been busy indeed. My granddaughter Julia was baptized on the 13th. I left for Chicago on the 17th to attend the 2011 Annual NCTE Convention. I was also having computer problems--so it was with the techs for a few days.
I begin my nanny granny duties in December.
Thanks Elaine! I hope you get a chance to relax a little before granny duties kick in!

I just received my author copies of a new anthology, Always There. These true stories show how God moves in the lives of mothers of young children. The anthology makes seventeen I've had stories published in. and as I did with prior anthologies, I've now read every story in it. The best way to write for anthologies is to read them so you know what publishers are looking for.
Always There surprised me with its depth. I was expecting stories along the line of "the five-second rule" (how parents become increasingly lax about allowing their children to eat food dropped on the floor) or "the crying kids in Wal-Mart" (how parents used to be annoyed by crying children in department and grocery stores but now are the parents of those children themselves). These are the types of stories young mothers tell one another while commiserating over the struggles of parenthood, but such stories have been told so often they're clichés. Always There skipped the clichés, the trite, and the shallow in laying open what women in the trenches of early motherhood truly feel.
One woman who struggled with infertility wrote of hating pregnant women. Several women wrote of feeling inadequate and overwhelmed as mothers. Others spoke of the difficulties of missing sleep. I especially appreciated this statement from Rachel Swenson Balducci: "Rarely does any good come from a sleep-deprived mother analyzing the way things are" (p. 131). Plenty of truth in that! But every story also included hope and the quiet acknowledgment that God is with us every step of the way.
This anthology is produced for MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers), and I expect it will comfort and uplift young moms. If I submit to the publishers again, I will keep in mind that they, like most anthology producers, want honesty and insight, the a-ha rather than the ho-hum.

When S was born I breastfed her diligently, mashed my own organic purees and prided myself on my brilliant parenting when she grew up to love her broccoli and kale, sardines and lentils - happy to try everything and always wanting seconds. E was fussier but also quite greedy so could usually be cajoled into eating her cucumber in exchange for a yoghurt. I used to think that she was a fussy eater because she didn't like tuna!
And then came D who hated my purees, rejected finger foods and would quite happily eat nothing but cornflakes (but only with added sugar). I can count the foods he will eat on one hand and he has never knowingly eaten a piece of fruit or a vegetable. And I don't mean, "He doesn't like fruit but will eat blueberries and bananas because every child likes those fruit" - he has never eaten a piece of fruit, never mind a pea or a carrot.
Yes, I've tried 'hiding' vegetables plus he picks his own on the allotment, he eats with other children, we do lots of cooking together, blah, blah, it never makes the slightest difference, he will retch if there is onion hidden in his pasta sauce. When I'm feeling particularly guilt-ridden I blend spinach into his pesto (one of his five foods - he is a true SW child <blush>) but most of the time I just give in and allow his plate of casserole to be replaced with peanut butter and toast, of which 90 per cent of his meals consist.
Therefore D's willingness to eat a new food is a cause for celebration in our house, especially if it's not a sweet. Ok, it's practically a cake - banana bread with chocolate chips - but it also contains lots of banana (fruit!), hopefully enough to stave off scurvy. And it's delicious - we made three last week and each one got eaten in a day.

What do we know of Mary?
What we know of Mary's family is that she is of the house of David; it is from her lineage Jesus fulfilled the prophecy. Given the archeological ruins of the various places thought to have been living quarters for their family, it is likely the home was a room out from which sleeping quarters (cells) branched. As Mary and her mother Anne would be busy maintaining the household, with young Mary working at her mother's command, it is likely Anne would be nearby or in the same room during the Annunciation. Thus Mary would not have had a scandalous secret to later share with her parents but, rather, a miraculous supernatural experience, the salvific meaning of which her Holy parents would understand and possibly even witnessed.
Mary and Joseph were betrothed, not engaged. They were already married, likely in the form of a marriage contract, but the marriage had not yet been "consummated". This is why he was going to divorce her when he learned of the pregnancy. If it were a mere engagement, he would have broken it off without too much scandal.
Married but not yet joined with her husband, her mother would prepare her by teaching her all that she needed to know. This is further reason to assume that Mary would be working diligently under her mother's eye when the Annunciation took place.
We know that her cousin Elizabeth's pregnancy was kept in secret for five months, and not made known until the sixth month when the Angel Gabriel proclaimed it to Mary. We know Mary then rushed to be at her elderly cousin's side for three months (the remaining duration of Elizabeth's pregnancy), and that this rushing appeared to be in response to Elizabeth's pregnancy (to congratulate her), not an attempt to hide Mary's pregnancy. Note how all of this is connected to Elizabeth's pregnancy rather than Mary's circumstances. As Mary was married to Joseph, he likely would have been informed of the trip. Had the intent been to hide Mary, she would have remained with Elizabeth until Jesus was born, not returned to her family after the first trimester, which is just about the time that her pregnancy was visible and obvious.
So we these misconceptions clarified, we can put Mary's example within an even deeper context and more fully relate to her experience. We can imagine living in a faith-filled family who raises their child in strict accordance of God's word. The extended family members may not understand, and certainly their community will not, so Mary, Anne and Joachim, and Joseph face extreme scandal as well as possible action from Jewish authorities. But they faced this together steep in conversation with God, providing a model for today's family.
Although sometimes scriptural interpretations are flavored with modern-day eye, overall this book will be more than just a quick read for a young mother (or new bride, or teen aspiring to overcome the challenges of American culture, or single parent losing her mind). It is a heartwarming reflection with many examples that open up conversation with God. As an experienced psychotherapist, the author's examples are spot on and easy to relate to. We do not need to have had the same experiences to empathize, reflect, and pursue meaning; we see it around us in everyday life. As such, a reflective look upon these examples can help one overcome an impasse in their own relationship with God and also open the reader up to self-knowledge as Hi

The Diptera ("di-ptera" = two-winged) or "true flies" is the largest order of animals in the UK with around 7,000 known species and new ones being discovered every year. They are found in all habitats from the sea shore to mountain tops. Whilst some are agricultural pests or vectors of disease, the great majority are beneficial. They are extremely important as predators on other pests and diseases, as pollinators, as food for other animals and the immature stages of the bulk of the species are involved in the decay of organic matter and the recycling of material back into the soil.
Entomologists who specialise in these insects are "dipterists". In 1993, a group of people who wanted to find out more about every aspect of their lives, including the habitats they require, set up the Dipterists Forum. There is a great deal still to learn about flies. Mapping the distribution of some groups is a major achievement of the Dipterists Forum to date, but the immature stages of the majority of species are still unknown. Many species are becoming increasingly rare as a result of habitat loss and climate change.
Why not join the Dipterists Forum and help us find out more about flies? There is so much still to learn; we welcome beginners and there are always people who can help you out in the early stages. You dont need to be an expert, or even to leave your own garden, to contribute to our knowledge of these fascinating insects. Flies need your help! Read more ...
The Bulletin of the Dipterists Forum
Bursaries for 2017
The Dipterists Forum holds an annual weekend course at the Preston Montford field studies centre. These courses cover selected families of flies in detail, and the 2017 course will be on the Drosophilidae (fruit flies) and Sciomyzidae (snail-killing flies). It is likely to take place in February. The Forum also has annual residential Summer field meetings lasting for one week. These take place at various venues around the country, and the 2017 meeting is expected to be in Snowdonia during June.
We offer up to two bursaries for the Preston Montford course, and up to three for the field meeting. Each bursary covers half the total cost of the course or the meeting, including accommodation costs. If you would like to apply for a bursary please send your application by e-mail to the chairman, Howard Bentley, email@example.com
Your application should say what you hope to gain from attending, how you would expect to contribute to the Forums aims of the study, recording and conservation of Diptera, and why you would benefit from financial assistance. If you are currently involved in a research programme please include brief details. We will be looking for evidence of enthusiasm and interest in flies. Preference may be given to those who have not received a bursary previously. Applications should not exceed 300 words.
Applicants must be members of the Dipterists Forum. The closing dates for applications are: 31st October 2016 for Preston Montford; 28th February 2017 for the field meeting. If you would like further details of what is involved in these meetings please send a request to the e-mail address above.

Taxonomy Special Interest Group meeting NHM 3rd December
Dear All
Please read
'The inaugural meeting of the Royal Entomological Society Taxonomy Special Interest Group will be held at the Natural History Museum on Thursday 3rd December 2015, Flett theatre 2.00-5.30 pm
Taxonomy has been in something of a crisis, in terms of scientific credibility and, consequently, funding, for several decades. However, a significant renaissance is taking place as traditional morphology-based taxonomy embraces molecular biology, and exploits an armoury of imaging technology to become a cutting-edge discipline.
Conservation relies on monitoring and cataloguing impossible without correct identification. Insect identification, especially for many important groups, has been regarded traditionally as a difficult process. The aim of the Royal Entomological Societys Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects has been to facilitate that process, and they have played an important role. However some older handbooks can be difficult to use, and may deter enthusiasts from tackling important groups to which they were initially attracted.
The primary aim of the meeting will be to discuss the future of insect taxonomy in the light of the technological advancements currently available. How can we make insect identification and descriptive taxonomy easier, faster and more obviously relevant? There is recognition among the UK research councils that taxonomy needs support, and yet we fail regularly to present a business model that attracts their support.
Talks are welcomed on any insect taxonomy-related subject, but in particular those that address modernisation of insect taxonomy, and the presentation of taxonomy in user-friendly ways that take advantage of molecular and/or imaging technology.
If you wish to offer an oral presentation or a poster, or attend without presenting, please visit the RES Website http://www.royensoc.co.uk/content/taxon … ember-2015 and fill in a registration form as soon as possible. NHM can accommodate up to 200.

You can find a Primark onesie for men and women, and while these loose fitting jumpsuits make for ideal sleepwear and loungewear, some even sport them as trendy street fashion. The material that goes into making Primark onesies can vary from fleece, to knit cotton, to chenille, and in any case, there is no compromise on the comfort factor. You can also choose from a variety of animal, super hero, and spooky prints.
Stay comfortable yet stylish, both, indoors and outdoors.

* UPDATE * We will be producing this game for PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox (360 and One) and PlayStation (3 and 4) upon reaching our $100,000 goal!
Click that green button to the right to "Back This Project" and get a copy of the game or other rewards! You can pledge as little as $1 to show support. With your help, we'll make this game a reality before Christmas.
Travel to ancient lands and take part in the action and excitement of Abraham's life. Fierce battles, honor and glory, and the destruction of ancient evils await you on your path as you choose how your own story will play out.
We hold the Bible completely sacred, and we've gone to great lengths to maintain authenticity. For this reason, we formed an advisory team of four pastors and ministry leaders who work with us for the purpose of accurately portraying this amazing story, especially the more controversial aspects of it.
Bible Chronicles: The Call of Abraham is the first Christian video game of its kind: the top-notch graphics are visually-stimulating and the action-packed storylines will keep players engaged. Genesis is full of familiar stories, but they've never been told from this perspective. We start out just before Abraham leaves Haran, and because the main character is someone joining Abraham's caravan, you're right in the thick of the action.
Hundreds of characters, ancient cities, and hours of engaging sub-plots await in the immersive game world of "The Call of Abraham." Players will not only be entertained as they build their character and face intriguing challenges, they will also have the opportunity to enrich their knowledge of the history and cultures surrounding Abraham's famous journey.
We've spent years researching and planning all of the details – such as which historical Pharaoh we should build our character on (in the end, we decided Senusret I made the most sense) – and we have many of our cast of characters fully developed and almost entirely animated.
Our primary focus moving forward is the cinematic work, the completion of the many ancient cities in the game, wrapping up the numerous sub-plots which populate the game world, and then bringing it all together.
Phoenix Interactive Studios is located in Bakersfield, California and is led by its two co-founders Martin Bertram and Richard Gaeta.For the last ten years they have owned and operated a successful technology consulting and software development firm called I.T. Works which specializes in custom business software.
Prior to this, Richard worked for several Fortune 500 companies at various levels of management while Martin worked as a computer game designer on numerous projects going back to 1991 with several popular MUDs which were the precursor to today's MMORPGs. He also authored a medieval fiction novel, published in 2006, titled Vanity of Vanities.
We are also blessed to have a great production team of 3D modelers, artists, and hard core game enthusiasts working for us as well, who are equally if not more excited to see the finished product. Our team members include James, Ryan, Mark, Travis, Chuck, Kunal, Jeffrey, Liuda, Saim, and Anakin (not Skywalker).
Our Bible Advisory Team
We have known most of our advisors for almost a decade, and we appreciate all of the time they take to to ensure our storylines and characters are true Biblical representations. Although we consider ourselves devoted Christians, it's amazing how many details this team has caught and adjusted to make sure we stay accurate to the biblical record.
A Kickstarter boost would allow us to launch the game much faster than we'd be able to do on our own. We'd be able to focus on the game until it's finished at the level of quality we want. With a funded campaign, we can get this game into your hands around Thanksgiving 2014, making it a perfect Christmas present.
We'd love you to spread the word and share this positive move forward, so send out our Kickstarter link on Facebook, twitter @PhoenixIStudios, or email your friends! THANK YOU for your support!!
We are seasoned professionals in the video game industry and in business, and we've spent the last several years working on this project, so we feel we're in the home stretch.
We are to the point where we have examples of everything we want to do almost entirely done. Now it is about replication and scale, and that takes money. We have been assembling our wheel – shaping the lumber and screwing on each spoke – now we need capital to roll that wheel forward.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
No, you will be playing as a fictional character that is hired on to Abraham's caravan. We recognized that allowing the player to be Abraham would cause issues with the story unfolding as told in the Bible, which would compromise the ability to ensure biblical accuracy. The player character is a fictional Elamite outcast who finds work with Abraham's caravan before departing Haran. Elam was the rising power in the region at that time. The background story of the player character unfolds as the game progresses, and compliments the main story of Abraham's journey.
Yes! We felt it was necessary, in order to create a greater sense of adventure and educational value, to be able to traverse an open terrain that spans the surrounding regions of those areas where Abraham sojourned. Incidentally, our game terrain is one of the largest ever produced for this type of game.
We considered a lot of different options before beginning development for Bible Chronicles: The Call of Abraham. We ultimately decided to use the Unity 3D engine. Unity is a powerful and mature gaming engine with a lot of capabilities and its popularity is growing among developers, even larger ones such as Electronic Arts. For us, perhaps the biggest sell was that Unity utilizes C#, the preferred language of our development team.
Once we settled upon the Unity engine, we began implementing the classes for all of the various core systems the game requires: characters, the player, items, quest types, skills, artificial intelligence, interactions, game saving & loading, and so on.
We are extremely excited about the artificial intelligence system we developed for Call of Abraham. It is based on concepts from the Goal-Oriented Action Planning architecture developed by MIT Media Lab, and we believe it will really add an above average sense of realism to the gameplay as the non-player characters make decisions and take actions based on their own goals and desires, and other dynamic factors.
Our skills system gives the player an increasing set of tools to achieve their goals as they advance. Abilities such as stealth, tracking, hunting, bartering, and many others.
Our quest system is very intricate and it drives the story forward. The choices which players make in the process of completing their quests will also have an effect on their future engagements as well as their reputation.
We've received numerous questions and great suggestions regarding the platforms that we will be releasing the game to. We've done our homework and deliberated on the matter and we have some good news.
First, regarding Linux. We've decided that we will be releasing a Linux version alongside Mac and PC.
Second, regarding the gaming consoles. We have a $250k stretch goal to bring this to the consoles. We listed X-Box and Playstation. For us that means X-Box 360, X-Box One, Playstation 3 and 4.
We've also had some inquiries about Nintendo Wii (and Wii U). We are evaluating this currently and we will most likely add a stretch goal to facilitate this as well.
Our mission is to produce a game that is accurate to the biblical record of Abraham's life and journey, and accurate to the historical record of the cultures and places that surrounded him. The game will not be presenting any messaging that is out of that context.
Kickstarter only allows you to plug in a fixed additional charge for shipping anywhere internationally. We are willing to ship international, but actual costs will need to be charged prior to shipment.

Politiquizz: International Cash
June 16, 2014 | According to campaign finance law, you must be an American citizen or green card holder to make a political contribution. That applies whether the donation is to a candidate or to a company's PAC. The U.S. divisions of foreign-owned companies often form PACs here, but they must rely on American employees or green card holders…

Skylight presents intimate take on 'Porgy & Bess'
In the summer of 1926, George Gershwin returned home from rehearsals for a new musical. Wired and needing to clear his head, he picked up a recent bestselling novel as bedtime reading. He didn't put it down until he had finished it the following morning. The novel was DuBose Heyward's "Porgy."
In "The Life and Times of Porgy and Bess: The Story of an American Classic," Hollis Alpert describes what happened next: Gershwin was so excited "by the story and its author's apparent musical sensitivity" that he immediately wrote Heyward and suggested they collaborate on an opera. Nine years later, it made a now-legendary Broadway debut as "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article(1)
Coach fired after dance team performed song Miley Cyrus made infamous
A Wisconsin high school dance coach has been fired after her team performed a routine to an edited version of "Blurred Lines," a popular song by Robin Thicke, the Wausau Daily Herald reports.
Lisa Jolin was fired from her job at Marshfield High School in August, after the dance team performed Aug. 23 at the first home football game. Days later, Thicke and Miley Cyrus performed the sexually suggestive — and what some describe as misogynistic — song at the MTV Video Music Awards. »Read Full Article(56)

Enriching interactions with another human being is the most important ingredient in a child's development. Promoting a connected community should be the overarching aim of social advocacy on behalf of children. Real and lasting change can start with finding what ordinary people do extraordinarily well with children in everyday moments.
These are the simple lessons I am learning and using from Pittsburgh's urban classrooms to China's orphanages, in creating digital tools and evaluating social service programs, in teaching students and developing practitioners. I believe sustained partnership across disciplines, professions, and institutions can make sense and use of research knowledge in service of children.
Fred Rogers once said to a young MTV reporter, "I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex. Spread the word." That's what I hope to do.

Macon County sweeps DCHS in Lafayette
The DeKalb County High School basketball teams dropped a district doubleheader in Lafayette, Tuesday night. The Lady Tigers lost the opener to the Macon County Tigerettes, 65-51, while the Tigers dropped a 69-53 decision to the Macon boys in the nightcap.
Cynthia Woodward scored 19 points to lead the Lady Tigers, who had a 10-8 lead, late in the first period, but trailed, 16-12, by the end of the first. DeKalb pulled to within two points to open the second period, and cut the Macon lead to a single point on two other occasions, but could draw no closer to the host, Tigerettes. Macon County carried a 28-23 lead into the locker room at halftime, and pushed the lead into double figures by the midway point of the third period.
Freshman post, Calamity Jane Coley scored 11 points in the third, as Macon opened up a 47-37 lead at the end of the period. Macon out-scored DeKalb, 18-14, in the fourth period to pull away for the district win.

Wait where is everyone who complained about Verizon and logos? This is worse than Verizon because it has att up in the notification bar also..
No one is complaining about the logo because its a good deal smaller than Verizon's, and is at the very least symmetrical. That's my guess anyway.
+Sebastian Seymour well its also a circle compared to the Verizon check, but still att has two logos on the front where Verizon only has one. Still just as bad as putting your logo on the home button since this is right in the middle of the phone

MRSA Action UK is a registered charity that supports people who have been affected by healthcare infections. We provide advice and information to people who enquire on the best way to prepare and reduce the risks of contracting an infection.
We provide a patient voice to those who influence and regulate the delivery of high quality, safe patient care.
We work in partnership with healthcare providers, both in the public and private sector in the United Kingdom. We are an independent organisation and advise and work with government, the public, patients and other professions to promote awareness of healthcare infections and how to prevent them.
The Charity was established in 2005 by people who had been brought together through being affected by healthcare infections. We are a voluntary organisation with a constitution and are run by a Board of Trustees who are elected annually.
Our Vision
An NHS where patients can receive the highest quality care equivalent to that of other healthcare systems where the prevention of healthcare infections is considered paramount in patient care.
Our Purpose
To sustain those affected by healthcare infections by providing an advocacy and support service.
To respond to government consultation papers to reflect patients and carers' views on the prevention of healthcare associated infections.
To play a leading role in the promotion of high quality patient care and to act as an independent watchdog for better regulation of safe healthcare.
What's new
Britain's AMR Centre granted 100 million dollars to tackle Antimicrobial Resistance
It's being described as a "grave threat" and now - a new centre in the North West is teaming up with the US to fight against antibiotic resistance, which claims 25,000 lives a year in Europe.
Change in universal screening policy for MRSA coincides with a rise in infections in hospitals in England
Although progress has been made since mandatory reporting of MRSA has been introduced, MRSA shows resilience and despite best efforts trends for the last 5 years are now beginning to show an increase.
With 10 million people predicted to die every year from resistant infections by 2050 we cannot afford to wait 30-50 years before action is taken on Antimicrobial Resistance
MRSA Action UK respond to the O'Neill Report
MRSA Action UK's Andrea Jenkyns chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Patient Safety for its final inquiry into infection prevention
The first APPG meeting considered four White Papers written on infection control
MRSA & MSSA bloodstream infections at their highest for 5 years
Latest figures show the numbers of people succumbing to healthcare associated infections are on the increase again
