Location description from owner
The Red Sea and Sinai region
The Sinai Peninsula is the easternmost part of Egypt between the Mediterranean and the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba, both forks of the Red Sea. The western and northern coasts are practically uninhabited, but several Bedouin settlements-cum-tourist attractions dot the eastern coast.
The reason most tourists come here is the vistas underwater: the Sinai coast offers some of the best diving in the world. Some other areas of interest include:
Mount Sinai - reputedly the Mount Sinai where Abrahamic scripture claims Prophet Moses received the Ten Commandments, and the neighboring Monastery of St. Catherine
Basata - one of the oldest and most popular Ecolodges in Sinai. Note that Israelis are forbidden from entering the campsite.
Coloured Canyon - amongst some of the most beautiful rock formations hidden in the mountains
Naama Bay
Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt is the Red Sea resort for scuba diving, snorkeling and family fun. The jewel of the Sinai, with history going back thousands of years, cultural tours and year round sunshine. It is considered Egypts top holiday destination.
Sharm el-Sheikh is situated on the Southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, with the Red Sea on one side and the mountains of Mount Sinai on the other. Sharm el-Sheikh is the most accessible and developed tourist resort on the Sinai Peninsula. All around are Bedouins, colourful tents, mountains and sea.
There are small, intimate hotels with modern designs, as well as larger hotel complexes belonging to international chains, plus the amenities one would expect of a top tourist centre including casinos, discos and nightclubs, golf courses and health facilities.
Diving and snorkeling, windsurfing and other water sports, horse and camel riding, desert safaris, and great nearby antiquities are just some of the attractions on offer.

this property has everything that you need to enjoy a fantastic holiday in Sharm, the location is amazing as it is a stones throw away from one of the many pools that are available for use on this complex. the apartment is very well equipt if you are inclined to try out your cooking skills, the beds are amazingly comfy and the power shower is to die for, I couldn't find a fault with anything where this property is concerned. The owner Daniel provided lots of information before I left the UK which was great and when I arrived in Sharm Sally was there to welcome me into the property and to explain where different things where on sight ect. I would definitely rent this property again without a doubt
What a great experience from start to finish , everybody friendly and when needed things Sally was there to sort , delta is such nice place with helpful staff and apartment was fabulous & clean and home from home feel , can't wait to return
"Dream place in a dream resort"
Once again I had a wonderful holiday, the apartment is spotlessly clean and in a fabulous spot. Time spent on the balcony is so peaceful and private. The resort caters for all needs, the take-aways and the supermarkets are very reasonably priced. The pools are nearby if you fancy a dip. I really would recommend this to anyone, in fact I have in the past.
"Yet another great 2 weeks relaxing in this apartment"
This was our 4 th stay in one of Daniels apartments ...(1 bed this time )...they are great ....comfy ....in the best location on the delta sharm ...literally 1 min from the pool...as we spend most evenings in the apartment we find them to be extremely comfortable ....the showers are very roomy and have powerful shower heads ....beds and bedding of high standard ...very comfy sofas to Iounge around on ....we tend to stay in and order food in and watch DVDs ....but on the delta there is entertainment most nights if you want it ....the apartments are very peaceful Sally the representative was on hand if we needed her ....we met her last year for the first time when Glynis was on holiday who was always on hand if you needed anything .
"Ideal apartment if you don[--]t want a hotel"
I stayed in the apartment from mid-Sept to mid-Oct and found it ideal for my purposes. Its location in Delta Sharm means that you are well away from the noise of Naama Bay, but still close enough to visit with an EGP10 taxi fare. The complex itself has supermarkets, pools, a restaurant and a bar. Ther is not a great deal of choice for eating out, but there are plenty of other restaurants a short cab ride away. Well tended gardens make it shady and attractive. I particularly enjoyed the spa massage, situated a mere 40m from the apartment. There is a residents only pool only metres from the front door. No wi-fi in the apartment , but there are facilities at the main bar area The apartment is well equipped with TV and all necessary kitchen equipment. The bathroom shower works well and has a limitless supply of hot water. The first floor location makes it safe to leave things on the balcony patio although, because of its SE aspect, it can be rather too warm for outdoor breakfast. However, it is shady and cooler in the afternoons and evenings The beds are firm and comfortable - with plenty of towels and bedding supplied. The aircon work well; at least it does now a new thermostat has been fixed All in all, highly recommended
"Great apartment, friendly owner and manager, good location."
Daniel was very friendly and helpful from the start. The apartment was a great size and in a great location near to the main pools with a smaller pool just around the corner. The kitchen was well equipped and plenty of towels and linen available. The bedroom was a spacious and the lounge had loads of seating. It was quiet and peaceful around the complex even though it was busy. Would definitely stay here again. Many thanks for a great trip
"lovely clean and comfortable apartment - in just the right place"
Really enjoyed my stay at Delta Sharm in this lovely apartment. It is well situated and handy for whatever you might fancy doing. Travel to Sharm quite a lot so don't always want to go out and about on an evening - this apartment was so nice and comfortable it was good to stay in with a takeaway or even do some cooking!!!! Glynis was lovely and helpful on arrival - we did not have any problems so only saw her in passing at one of the pools and then on leaving. Will definitely stay here again and woild recommend to anyone.
"Enjoyed every moment"
Arrived to Delta Sharm and the apartment to meet the agent was all fine, as directed in the booking form, greeted and shown the apartment with keys and straight away felt very happy with what we paid for, spacious with a style and touch that the owner cared and looked after, it had a relaxed feel and we felt at home, as soon as we arrived, it did have all the Ammenties you need to stay in a self catering apartment, a lovely, clean well decorated kitchen with all you needed to cook, even a washing machine but you do have to respect water is not to be over used, common sense really, the view from the balcony was lovely, as you had all the beautiful flowers and palm tree's and the wonderful blue sky and sunshine and to eat your breakfast outside with an umbrella for shade, if you needed it...Two large sofa's in the living room were very comfortable and satelite television, lovely tiled flooring to keep it cool, lovely stylish cushions for that personal touch, as I have explained kept tidy and clean and well taken care of... The bedroom was designed with good taste and the beds were very comfortable with plenty of wardrobe space and air conditoned through out...So you could remain cool, if need be... a good sized bathroom with a great size shower and always hot water and kept very clean with Towels... found the apartment peaceful and surrounding area's and easy access to the many swimming pool's and supermarkets and restaurants on the complex, it's a great place to stay and I liked the privacy to the apartment with the pathways up the stairs, I wish it was mine, but I know if I get the opportunity to visit again, I would definitely stay here and October, weather wise is a lovely time of year to stay in Delta Sharm- Sharm El Sheikh....Any queries Glynis the agent was on hand to help you, which was a blessing, but as it goes, we were fine and knew we were well looked after and having a great understanding and knowledge of the area and complex and Egypt as a country I was impressed...A definite stay in the future, All the best, kind Regards, Sandra Golden
"Home from home!"
This apartment was perfect; clean tidy and just right. The apartment is open plan but is very spacious and gives you the sense that you are not on top of one another. I travelled with one of my friends and we stayed 3 weeks, it became home very quickly and we sat many an evening after a day by the pool just chillin on the balcony. This is ground floor level but to be honest you appreciate it more when the heat is soaring and you can just relax. This apartment holds everything that you need, just simply pack your bags and arrive! Glynnis welcomes you on arrival and gives you and idea of where things are etc. she is very friendly and offers great advice. Regarding Delta Sharm, it's amazing if you wantto go at your own pace, stay on site with all ammenties or simply just want to get a bus or taxi to anywhere is Sharm, it is all within a few minutes walk. I would definately reccomend this apartment and delta sharm.
We had heard good reports about Delta Sharm and contacted Daniel to enquire about his property. He was more than helpful and the booking process was made very easy. Upon arrival at Sharm Airport we were met by the driver as promised and whisked to the apartment door in no time at all, approx 15 mins. Glynis met us there and explained everything we needed to know. The apartment itself was perfect and had everything we needed and is only a very short walk from the nearest pool and only a 2 min walk from the main pool. On site there is a supermarket and a seperate beer shop that will deliver to your door. Taxis are plentiful but don't pay more than 15 Egyptian pounds into Naama Bay. Naama Bay itself is a busy, bustling place with plenty of places to eat and drink but don't be conned by the locals trying to lure you into their shops and sign the guestbook. Try Viva beach during the day, the waiters will look after you no end, its a fiver but includes sunbed, parasol, towel and the little snacks as well as ice buckets for your beer!! Our favourite bar was the Camel Bar, food and drink here are excellent.

Estranged from his parents by circumstance and nudged toward a foster family, a young boy seeks out his long-lost folks and discovers prodigious musical talent in this family-oriented drama from Disco Pigs director Kirsten Sheridan. In the aftermath of a passionate night together above New York's Washington Square, a charismatic Irish guitarist named Louis (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) and a reserved cellist named Lyla (Keri Russell) are forced apart by fate. Despite the fact that they do not remain together, however, their fleeting union has created something amazing that neither could have ever anticipated -- a baby. Unfortunately, just after the child's birth, the mother is misinformed that the infant has died. Cut to 11 years later, when the child, Evan, is living in a Gotham-area boys' home and has developed an acute ability to listen to the sounds of the outside world -- hoping against all hope that his biological mother and father will turn up to claim him, while those in charge try to encourage him to open himself up to the possibility of adoption. Unduly rejecting these bids, Evan runs away into the city. Out on the streets, the child falls into the clutches of a manipulative, untrustworthy street person named Wizard (Robin Williams), who renames Evan "August Rush" and opens the boy up to the depth and breadth of his own musical talent even as he smells the opportunity to grow rich off of the foundling. Meanwhile, Evan/August's hope persists that he will be reunited with his folks, and Louis and Lyla, unable to forget their initial night of love, feel themselves being drawn back together by fate. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

The introduction of connected machines into industrial environments has raised quality standards, led to increased profits and improved the maintainability of both manufacturing equipment and end products. Manufacturers that have integrated their production floors with other aspects of the business (including design, sales and supply chain) are seeing the largest benefits as the Machine Learning aspect of connected networks trickles into all areas of the business.
Here is a look at six ways Machine Learning is impacting industrial business.
One clear indicator that machine learning and artificial intelligence are coming together to improve customer relationship management is Salesforce's acquisition of several Machine Learning and AI companies. Since 2014, Salesforce has acquired six AI and Machine Learning companies including: RelateIQ, TempoAI, MinHash, PredicitonIO, MetaMind and Implisit Insights. As a result of these acquisitions, Salesforce has released several new products leading to an estimated new product revenue of $635 million by FY18.
Product quality and customer service are woven throughout every aspect of a workflow cycle. Production cell leaders impact customer service by ensuring that products move smoothly through their cell and that waste is minimized, thereby reducing costs. Sales team leaders ensure product quality by understanding customer needs and working with design teams to develop best-fit solutions. With machine learning, executive teams are gaining a better understanding of how decisions both upstream and downstream of specific points in the production cycle are impacting product and service quality.
The fast-paced world of manufacturing requires leaders to constantly consider the impact of each decision and to make trade-offs based on schedule demands, material and machine availability and customer needs. Prioritizing each demand while simultaneously managing waste, equipment efficiencies and human resource efficiencies has always been a challenge to manufacturing floor leaders; optimizing each of these aspects to improve yields and profits is a careful balancing act. Quick access to reliable data dramatically improves the ability of leaders to make the best decisions.

A social worker has told a High Court jury the Kahui twins received few visits from family even though they lay dying in their hospital beds.
The Child, Youth and Family worker, who has name suppression, told the double-murder trial of the babies' father, Chris Kahui, that she did not see much of the family while the babies were on life support.
"What stood out was they were dying and there was hardly any family around them," the witness said. That included both Kahui and Ms King.
Kahui is alleged to have murdered his twin sons, Cru and Chris, in June 2006. He says someone else, probably their mother, Macsyna King, inflicted the fatal injuries.
The witness said family members did come to meetings with hospital staff which were dominated by Ms King, who asked repeatedly if the bleeding in the babies' brains could be tracked back to an exact time.
Ms King was polite but insistent, asking three times if machines the babies were hooked up to could determine when the injuries were inflicted.
Ms King was "non-emotive", did all the talking and at one point prevented Kahui from asking a question.
While the babies were in hospital, Ms King tried to obtain their medical records and doctors' notes, asking them to be passed on to her lawyer.
But she twice failed to give the witness numbers for the lawyer, who said she would have to discuss it with the doctors.
It was revealed earlier in the trial that the woman was not a legal practitioner.
Crown prosecutor Simon Mount asked the witness if she agreed it was logical for Ms King to be trying to work out when the injuries were inflicted and she said it "could be".
Earlier, a friend of the family, Rebecca Rangi, told the court she saw Kahui and Ms King fighting after Chris and Cru's tangi.
Kahui wanted to go but Ms King wanted to stay and when he could not convince her he was heard to say: "You don't give a f**k about our babies being dead."
She ignored him, Ms Rangi said, and remained at the party until the following day.

ROBERT HUNTER was one of the new post-war generation of professors of therapeutics and a distinguished Vice-Chancellor of Birmingham University from 1968 to 1981.
I first met Bob Hunter when he was my opposite number as Professor of Therapeutics at St Andrews University. He stayed a night with me in Belfast on his way to examine at Trinity College Dublin. While we were having dinner there was a great hullabaloo from my children upstairs. Bob got up quietly, said 'Leave this to me,' and went upstairs. Total peace reigned - but in the morning at breakfast three little girls approached him with outstretched hands for the half-crowns, an unheard-of sum to them, which had been promised by him.
Hunter qualified in medicine in Edinburgh in 1938. He joined the Royal Army Medical Corps when the Second World War broke out and had just time to marry Kathleen Douglas in January 1940 before he went to France. He embarked at St Nazaire. The ship alongside his was bombed and sank. Badly burnt survivors were taken to Falmouth. He served in North Africa but was back in England before D-day to be appointed Personal Physician to Field Marshal Montgomery.
After the war Hunter returned to Edinburgh and spent a year with the then doyen of therapeutics, Professor Derrick Dunlop. Hunter's annus mirabilis was 1948. He was appointed a Commonwealth Fellow in Medicine and then a Lecturer in Clinical Medicine at St Andrews University, where the Principal (Principals had power in those days) promptly translated him into the Professor of Materia Medica, Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
Hunter was 33. They were exciting times for therapeutics. Penicillin, streptomycin, corticosteroids, oral diuretics, blood transfusion and electrolyte infusions had arrived. Hexamethonium bromide offered the first effective treatment for malignant hypertension and anticoagulant therapy was giving promise for the prevention of coronary disease. In 1958 he became the Dean of the Medical School at St Andrews and played a leading role in acquiring the land and planning the splendid Ninewells Hospital, with which his name will always be linked.
In 1962 the thalidomide disaster altered his life and mine. We were both appointed to the Committee on Safety of Drugs, the Dunlop Committee, set up as a result of the thalidomide incident to ensure that, before a drug could be marketed, its manufacturer should show that appropriate tests had been done to demonstrate it was safe and effective. Hunter was the Chairman of the Clinical Trials Sub-Committee. There were new and challenging problems on whether and how new drugs should be marketed by the pharmaceutical industry. Our American cousins admired us as 'a lean and spare apparatus for drug safety which operates at a tiny fraction of the cost of a comparable FDA operation'.
In 1964 Hunter became a member of the University Grants Commission and in 1966 became Chairman of its Medical Advisory Committee. By 1968 he had been in his Chair at St Andrews (after 1966 it was in Dundee University) for 20 years. He felt it was time for a change and he accepted the invitation to become Vice-Chancellor of Birmingham University. He found England very different from Scotland. The Scots respect learning and education. In Birmingham students went on strike, occupied the administrative buildings and trapped the new Vice-Chancellor in his room. The 8th Army man was pretty resilient, however, and set up his command post in his room in the middle of enemy territory and by telephone arranged that Senate meetings took place in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital nearby.
When the student revolt had been successfully repulsed, Hunter found himself at the receiving end of assaults on university funding. It was a difficult time. The reduction in funds from 1971 onwards was not accompanied by the power to alter staff contracts. The reduction in staff had to be by voluntary retirement, and this was too often taken by the able and the competent who knew they could get good jobs elsewhere. Hunter resented this stupid way of culling staff; humane perhaps, but not very fair on students.
I was particularly grateful to Bob Hunter for the steadfast support which he gave me and my Faculty when a member of our staff contracted and died of smallpox. There were allegations that our Department of Virology, which was doing important work for the World Health Organisation in controlling smallpox, had been and was a hazard to the citizens of Birmingham. Hunter knew that this was nonsense, bore the brunt of criticism with quiet dignity and in the end was fully vindicated: the case brought by the Health and Safety Executive was dismissed and it was clear that the standard of care and competence in our laboratory was as high if not higher than in the only other laboratories in Britain where smallpox virus was held.
Hunter was knighted in 1977 and made a Life Peer in 1978. After retiring from the university he gave much of his time most conscientiously to the House of Lords. He was a member of the Select Committee on Science and Technology and he was deeply concerned with EEC problems in Brussels.
Despite many years away from clinical medicine, Hunter remained always a physician in his concern for others. Tall, well-built and rather austere, he was a kindly man, modest, and always I think slightly surprised and delighted that he had had such a wonderful and interesting career in which at the beginning he had seen the introduction of the first sulphonamides and by the end could foresee the promise of modern molecular medicine. He had enormous support from Kathleen, his wife, whom he loved greatly; and they both had much pleasure from their extended family.

And your BFF didn't know this story? Great article to read. I,can envision it! What an amazing intuition you followed. Someday soon we will talk more!
"Mankind is a great, an immense family... This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas." —Pope John XXIII
The Close of the Christmas Season:
The weeks leading up to Christmas are usually busy, sometimes stressful and overwhelming, and often sentimental for families. Those with growing children can find their days and nights filled with holiday activities and special school events.
But in the true sense of the liturgical calendar, the actual Christmas Season is less than three weeks: Starting with the first Vigil Mass on Christmas Eve, continuing through the 12 days of Christmas, including the Solemnity of the Epiphany of our Lord, and ending today on the Feast of the Baptism of The Lord.
Usually the fast-pace of the weeks leading up to Christmas Day then slows down and families spend some quiet time together after the 25th. My students at John Carroll came back to school this past Monday, January 6, and shared a lot about how they spent their time off. We had semester exams on December 17, 18, and 19, so we were blessed with a 18-day respite from classes and academia.
Many students shared with me about holiday parties and get-togethers with relatives and friends. Some of them travelled for vacation fun, while others travelled to visit grandparents and extended family. There are always a few young people who speak about being bored... I wish I could help them realize how important it is to make every minute, every day count. Never waste your time being bored!!
Christmas Eve:
"God walked down the stairs of heaven with a Baby in His arms."—Paul Scherer (1892-1969)
Probably my most favorite day of the year, this past Christmas Eve was especially filled with many magical moments.
For the past fourteen years, my Campus Ministry Office has hosted Christmas Eve Mass in the John Carroll gym. I wrote about the evolution of this celebration back in December in my Countdown to Christmas.
Photo by Patti Murphy Dohn
I spent the evening of December 23 at school setting up the altar area and getting everything ready for our 4:30 Vigil Mass the next day.
Once again, as in each of the past years, we had a packed house. As I shared last month, going to Christmas Eve Mass in a gym is definitely not the same as being in a church with all the liturgical adornments of the season. It is truly the gathering of people that matters most. And we again this year had a beautiful celebration of the Nativity. Father Steve Sutton, associate pastor of St. Ignatius Church, Hickory, and my colleague in the JC Religion Department, was the celebrant.
One of the my personal magical moments came after Holy Communion when my son Joseph, 27, a member of the JC Class of 2005, surprised me by singing the "Ave Maria." He had made arrangements with our dear friend and JC alumni parent Cathy Seufert who conducts the Children's Choir for St. Ignatius. Cathy's choir children sang before Mass as the crowds were gathering. Joseph had met up with her to practice the day before. A longtime actor, singer, and dancer in community theatre, Joseph has a degree in performing arts and has classical training in voice. His "Ave Maria" was a highlight for me and brought tears to the eyes of many of us gathered in the gym.
Enjoy Joseph's "Ave Maria"
Christmas Eve Dinner at Scotto's Cafe:
After Mass we always go to dinner each year as a family to Scotto's Cafe, a delightful, favorite Italian restaurant near our home in Bel Air. We have enjoyed our special Christmas Eve dinners out each year since George and I were married in 2003. Whomever is available joins us. This year we had our very expectant daughter Meighan--whose baby girl is due on January 15--and her husband Jeff, Joseph, Katie and her boyfriend Karl, and Karl's Mom, Cecelia. It was crowded, as usual, and we stopped at their bar for wine and festive conversations with some of our friends who were gathered there.
After we were seated and placed our orders, guess who walked in?
None other than Santa Claus!! Making his way through the dining room, Santa happily jingled his bells and smiled for photos, including one with our daughter Katie, before he got on his way for his busiest night of the year!!
Soon our dinners arrived and everyone got their meals except our daughter Katie. After our server told us to enjoy our dinners and that she would be back shortly to see if we needed anything else, Karl expressed concern that Katie's dinner had not yet arrived. She assured him that she was fine, certain that her food was on its way, just as I was telling her to grab her fork and dive into mine with me.
Karl was insistent that he would find out what was the delay, and quickly got up and left to check in. Did he go to the kitchen? We were all wondering... Katie was a little flustered by his departure. Within three minutes, George said, "Here comes Karl." Looking over toward the middle dining area, here comes Karl carrying Katie's dinner. Placing her plate on the table in front of Katie, Karl smiled broadly as we all saw the open box on the side of the plate prominently displaying the most beautiful diamond ring!!
Katie was crying, we were all cheering and clapping. Joseph jumped up and started videoing on his iPhone, and the silence that overcame the rest of the restaurant as everyone else looked over to see what the fuss was about erupted into more clapping, cheering, and much pinging on water glasses with utensils for the newly engaged couple to kiss.
It was the most magical moment. Looking back, I am so overwhelmed with gratitude that Karl allowed this most special moment to take place right there before our family and his Mom. Katie was weeping with joy and could hardly speak as he slipped the ring on her finger and she admired its beauty through her tears. Our dinner was filled with lots of wedding talk and afterwards, when we were leaving, many people came over to wish Katie and Karl their very best for much future happiness. It was truly magical.
We went back to our house for gift exchanges and dessert. I found out later at home that Karl had called George the day before and gotten his blessing for this Christmas Eve dinner proposal. I was again thrilled that Karl had included us in this special moment, and also that George had not told me. I was truly overjoyed by the surprise as it unfolded there at Scotto's.

A Floridian Christmas:
George and I left on Christmas morning to fly down to our home in South Florida on Singer Island to enjoy some down time and see our Florida family. We had dinner at my brother's home in Palm Beach Gardens with his wife, sons, in-laws, and my Dad who was also in town for the holiday. Everyone was excited to hear firsthand the details of Katie and Karl's engagement and to see the photos and Joseph's video on my iPad. After dinner we enjoyed dessert and conversation South Florida-style out back by their pool.

George and I enjoyed time with family and our Florida neighbors during the rest of that week. The weather was lovely and we were able to get to the pool, the beach, and some of our favorite local restaurants.
Holy Family Sunday Mass at St. Paul of the Cross Church, Singer Island
Each year we give a pre-New Year's cocktail party for our neighbors and local friends on December 30. It is always a festive event filled with lots of laughter and chatter as everyone catches up with each other's news and holiday updates.
After the last guests left that night, we cleaned up and I had just pressed Start on the dishwasher when my phone rang. As soon as I saw Meighan's name on the screen, I just knew in my heart... Quickly answering her call, I heard Meighan say, "Mom, I think my water broke."
Well, you never saw a suitcase get packed and airline reservations get changed as fast as I did that night.
Meighan was not due to deliver baby McKenna until January 15, and with her being their first child, it felt pretty safe to go to Florida for Christmas. I had assured Meighan that if things developed early, that at the first sign of labor I would get home. Getting her confirmation text 30 minutes later with the update that she was being admitted at GBMC, we realized that this was indeed the real deal!!
George got me to the airport at West Palm Beach, and Katie was at BWI to pick me up when I landed. Off we went straight to the hospital.
A New Granddaughter:
"A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on."― Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967)
Baby McKenna Rose was born on New Year's Eve at 3:32 a.m. Weighing in at the dainty little lady size of 5 pounds, 9 ounces and measuring 19 inches long, she was perfect in every way. I don't think Meighan and Jeff have stopped smiling yet!! And I assure you, neither has this happy, proud Grandma!!
Proud Grandma!! (Photo by Katie Murphy)
Little McKenna was already a cherished part of our hearts before her birth, but meeting her in person was an exhilarating experience for all of us. Her birth was the source of profound joy and the humbling realization of how very blessed we are.
For our family, there was much joy on the Eves in 2013 with a Christmas Eve engagement and a New Year's Eve baby:
Gloria in excelsis Deo!!
Prayer for New Beginnings:
God of new beginnings, we are walking into mystery.We face the future, not knowing what the days and months will bring us or how we will respond.Be love in us as we journey.May we welcome all who come our way.Deepen our faithto see all life through your eyes.Fill us with hope and an abiding trustthat You dwell in us amidst all our joys and sorrows.Thank You for the treasure of our faith life. Thank You for the gift of being able to rise each day with the assurance of Your walking through the day with us.God of our past and future, we praise you.AMEN.
God is good: All the time!!

"Today you will know the Lord is coming, and in the morning you will see his glory."
— Invitatory to Morning Prayer, Christmas Eve
In the last Advent days leading up to Christmas, I will share some reflections, prayers, and music for you to enjoy during this very hectic holiday season.
Our baby countdown:
Pope Francis compared the Church to an expectant mother in his homily on Monday morning at the Casa Santa Marta. "Like the Virgin Mary, the Church this week is expecting a birth… Is there space for the Lord or is there space only for parties, shopping and making noise?"
My family is literally expecting a birth as my daughter Meighan is a little more than three weeks away from delivering her baby girl McKenna. I was delighted to again take her to for her routine check-up this afternoon at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center. It was a thrill to hear my granddaughter's heart beating strong in utero as the nurse-practitioner ran the doppler over Meighan's "baby belly" and counted her heart rate.
The last days are filled with joy and excitement for our family, but we know that Meighan is experiencing back aches, fatigue, and the normal first-time parent anticipation. This beloved baby is already part of our hearts. And as we wait, we know that next Christmas she will be delighted with the sounds and wonders of the season s only a nine-month old can experience. Bring it on, says this proud Grandma!!
"Santa's Prayer on Christmas Eve:" By Warren D. Jennings
The sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed,But Santa still knelt by the side of the bed.
"Dear Father," he prayed "Be with me tonight.There's much work to do and my schedule is tight.
I must jump in my sleigh and streak through the sky,Knowing full well that a reindeer can't fly.
I will visit each household before the first light,I'll cover the world and all in one night.
With sleigh bells a-ringing, I'll land on each roof,Amid the soft clatter of each little hoof.
To get in the house is the difficult part,So I'll slide down the chimney of each child's heart.
My sack will hold toys to grant all their wishes.The supply will be endless like the loaves and the fishes.
I will fill all the stockings and not leave a track.I'll eat every cookie that is left for my snack.
I can do all these things Lord, only through You,I just need your blessing, then it's easy to do.
All this is to honor the birth of the One,That was sent to redeem us, Your most Holy Son.
So to all of my friends, least Your glory I rob,Please Lord, remind them who gave me this job."
Christmas visit of Pope Francis to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI:
I just love the photos taken yesterday when the Holy Father joined Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI for a pre-Christmas visit to his residence, the Mater Ecclesiae monastery. As the four candles of the Advent wreath burned brightly on the coffee table, the two Holy Fathers enjoyed conversation after stopping for prayer in the small chapel. The Vatican statement said that Pope Francis came to "give his best wishes for the Christmas celebrations."

"Let the clouds rain down the Just One, and the earth bring forth a Savior."
Morning Prayer Antiphon for the Fourth Sunday of Advent
JOSEPH OF NAZARETH from St. Joseph's Chapel, Suffern, New York
Today is the Fourth Sunday of Advent:
We attended the Vigil Mass yesterday since we are having our family Christmas dinner this afternoon and wanted to have extra time in the morning for the final touches. Deacon Richard Stine gave a wonderful homily at St. Francis de Sales, Abingdon, concentrating on the plight faced by Saint Joseph when he found out that Mary, his betrothed, was with child. He also related this conundrum with that which is faced by many families today who do their best to give support to family members who face difficult or unplanned pregnancies.
Speaking of Saint Joseph…. He doesn't get a lot of press in the Scriptures. There is no record of any of his spoken words. But the accounts of the key moments of his life with the Blessed Virgin Mary, both before and after the birth of Jesus, are powerful lessons in his trust in God. Today's Gospel (Matthew 1:18-24) recounts the dream where Joseph is told to take Mary as his wife as the child she is carrying was conceived by the Power of the Holy Spirit.
Saint Joseph continues to be a quiet role model to so many of us who seek to trust in God's providence each day.
Saint Joseph and the Christ Child, 1670-75, by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617-1682), Ringling Museum, 17th Spain & England

Reverend Mishael Miller of Baltimore's Pennsylvania Avenue A.M.E. Zion Church will sing the Baltimore Raven's kickoff National Anthem for the last time at M&T Bank Stadium today (December 22, 2013). Baltimore Sun photo
Mishael Miller's last National Anthem for the Baltimore Ravens:
After 18 years of providing patriotic pride for our hometown Ravens fans at M&T Bank Stadium, amazing baritone Mishael Miller will sing the National Anthem for the last time before this today's last home game of the season kick-off. This assistant pastor at the Pennsylvania Avenue A.M.E. Zion Church is following God's call to serve as the new pastor of the St. Luke A.M.E. Zion Church in Birmingham, Alabama next month.
Reverend Miller told the Baltimore Sun: "I have always been involved in the church. I was playing church in my living room as a kid. I would make a pulpit and an altar. Ministry is at the root of all that I do. It seems like I don't know anything else. And I've been preaching since I was 18. I was involved in youth ministry for my church in Philadelphia."
Invited to sing the National Anthem for the very first Ravens game on August 3, 1996 at Memorial Stadium since the Morgan State University marching band was playing, this 1995 Morgan music grad so impressed Art Modell that he was invited to sing for all future games.
Enjoy this 5-minute video interview where Mishael Miller tells how his love of singing and music developed in church, how he was invited to sing for that first game in 1996 with Art Modell asking him to stay on permanently, and how Ravens fans "help" him by shouting "O" near the end of the National Anthem.
Those lucky enough to attend today's game will enjoy Mishael Miller singing Christmas music during halftime. How wonderful!!

Today's "O Antiphon"
"O King of all nations and keystone of the Church: come and save man, whom you formed from the dust!"
—Today's Antiphon for December 22
Music for your Enjoyment:
"Joseph's Hands"
Honoring Saint Joseph: There is so little music about Saint Joseph, so I was delighted when I found this beautiful tribute called "Joseph's Hands." Composer Michael Mikulin spent two years working on this song dedicated to Saint Joseph which "reminds us all of his incredible service. He is a model father to all of us. The song details the birth of Jesus, Joseph's dream, and the flight to Egypt."
"Silent Night"
Enjoy this classic version of "Silent Night" by Bing Crosby, another golden oldie.
"Joy to the World"
Arranged by Mack Wilberg and produced by and broadcast on PBS, "Joy to the World" was the opening song their program "Sing We Now of Christmas: A Festival of Carols", featuring the choirs of First Presbyterian Church in Davenport, Iowa under the direction of Steven R. Jobman. Arranged by Mack Wilberg.
Prayer for December 22:
Oh, Jesus who descended from Jesse, you are a sign of God's love. I feel hopeful and expectant, filled with a rebirth of joy and love.
I depend on you so much. You are a rock for my belief and a sign of God's love.
Fill me with your praise! I want to sing your glory, filled with joy for the message of hope you send.
I don't always understand when you are acting on my behalf. Thank you for the message of hope you send me. Give me true faith and love as I celebrate the mystery of how you came to be with us.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel!

The level of excitement is building here at John Carroll as our students are finishing their last two exams this morning: Christmas Break begins at 11:30 a.m. Our students have been through a lot in recent weeks with the sad loss of one of our beloved juniors. Time off for rest and renewal with family and friends is definitely in order!!
I spent some quiet time this morning during the first exam period getting everything ready for our annual Christmas Eve Mass here in the gym. Candles, ciboria, hosts to be consecrated, vestments… I even remembered all the necessaries for incensing!! (Can you tell that I have sometimes forgotten to unpack those items in the past?)
Christmas Eve Mass at John Carroll:
My John Carroll Campus Ministry Office started hosting the 4:30 Christmas Eve Mass about fourteen years ago as the overflow for the 4 p.m. Masses at nearby St. Margaret and St. Ignatius Churches. (My colleague Father Steve Sutton, who also serves as Associate Pastor at St. Ignatius, Hickory, celebrates this Mass each year.)
The first year we set up our Auditorium which seats almost 700 people. It was completely full with standing room only by 3:45. We had to turn people away at the door!! We made a decision to start at 4 p.m. since everyone was there and in their seats. Why wait until 4:30?
It was clear as more and more people showed up at the front doors to be turned away that day— since we were at full capacity—that we needed to move our liturgy to the gym for the next year. This has worked out so well and we now have plenty of parking and seating for over 1200.
Each year we have a full house. Going to Mass in a gym is definitely not the same as being in a church with all the liturgical adornments of the season. But it is the people there that matter: What has transpired is that most families now come to my school as their Christmas Eve Mass location-of-choice, not as an overflow from a neighboring parish.
We are always delighted to see so many multi-generational John Carroll families here, including lots of our graduates. It has become a bit of a reunion Mass, if you will, for our school community. It is a particular special blessing for me each year to celebrate this first Mass of the Nativity with so many people who have touched my life and my heart over the years.
What are your Christmas Eve plans?
Pope Francis got into the holiday spirit when I wasn't looking.... How festive is this?
Family fun in the days to come:
Everyone in my family is looking forward to all the festivities during this week leading up to Christmas. We are having our annual family dinner this Sunday with all our children, their spouses and significant others, and my parents. We will relax and enjoy each other's company with what promises to be a great dinner.
Our almost-seven year old grandson Tyler is so excited for Christmas and Santa. Watching the holidays through the eyes of children is what warms our hearts the most.
We are particularly blessed this year as we anticipate the birth of Meighan and Jeff's baby girl, due on January 15. Baby McKenna is a loved and cherished member of our family already. I know there are a few gifts under the tree with her name on them too!!
Daisy gets crazy:
How is your dog holding up with all the holiday preparations? I have heard some crazy stories over the years about dogs tearing into the wrapped presents and diving into the holiday cookies and candies when no one is looking.
When Daisy, our seven-year old pug, was a puppy she loved to crawl under the Christmas tree and nap on the tree skirt. It was so adorable. She outgrew the space under the tree and she doesn't bother the gifts. But what Daisy definitely does not like is the commotion outside caused by the frequent stops on our cul-de-sac by the mailman, and the UPS and Fed-Ex trucks. It makes her crazy!!
Daisy likes the quiet, usually snoring nearby while my husband works from his home office. But when those trucks make their way down our court, watch out: Daisy is up and staring out the window, barking and letting us know that someone is disturbing her tranquility. What happened to the peace and quiet?
"O Root of Jesse's stem,sign of God's love for all his people:come to save us without delay!"
—Today's Antiphon for December 19
"Angels We Have Heard on High" (w/ 32 fingers and 8 thumbs) Performed by the Piano Guys: Paul Anderson, Jon Schmidt, Al van der Beek & Steven Sharp Nelson, with numerous appearances by their Elf-on-the-Shelf Simone.
With almost 6 million hits on Youtube, this classic hymn is delightfully arranged and set in a beautifully decorated set complete with gift-wrapped grand piano and train garden with mini-cams.

Highlighting another classic performance with almost 5 million hits on Youtube, this talented young woman plays and dances to this favorite hymn outdoors in the snow.
Prayer for December 19:
Oh, Jesus who descended from Jesse, you are a sign of God's love. I feel hopeful and expectant, filled with a rebirth of joy and love.
I depend you so much. You are a rock for my belief and a sign of God's love.
Fill me with your praise! I want to sing your glory, filled with joy for the message of hope you send.
I don't always understand when you are acting on my behalf. Thank you for the message of hope you send me. Give me true faith and love as I celebrate the mystery of how you came to be with us.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel

Santa spreads cheer at John Carroll:
Fine Arts Chair Bruno Baran donned his full-length Father Christmas outfit this morning and made his way through the halls of John Carroll distributing candy canes and giving cheerful encouragement to all our students on their way to their Religion and Science semester finals.
Saint Joseph of Cupertino:
Did you know that Saint Joseph of Cupertino is the patron saint of all those taking exams?
I took the classic old prayer that our grandparents might have said before their exams and updated it for use with my John Carroll students this morning. Did you ever pray to Saint Joseph of Cupertino when you took your high school or college exams? How about Saint Thomas of Aquinas, patron saint of students? All good things come to those who work hard.
Prayer to Saint Joseph of Cupertino, Patron Saint of Those Taking Exams:
O Saint Joseph of Cupertino,
who by your prayer, obtained from God the blessing to be asked at your examination only the questions you knew:
Grant that we, like you, may succeed in the exams we take here at John Carroll today.
In return, we promise to make you known and to encourage others to pray to you for their scholastic needs as well.
Saint Joseph of Cupertino, pray for us.
Saint Thomas Aquinas, patron saint of students, pray for us.
O Holy Spirit, enlighten us.
Our Lady of Good Studies, pray for us.
Sacred Head of Jesus, Seat of Divine Wisdom, enlighten us.
God is good!! All the time!!
Due to reports of his supernatural levitations during prayer and Mass, St. Joseph of Cupertino is also known as the saint patron of pilots and airline passengers.
"O Leader of the House of Israel,giver of the Law to Moses on Sinai:come to rescue us with your mighty power!"
—Today's Antiphon for December 18
Classic Holiday Music for your Enjoyment:
"The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) sung by Nat King Cole
This favorite holiday classic always reminds me of my college days in the 1970s at Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia. The seniors would stay up all night on the eve of the Immaculate Conception and adorn the massive main lobby of Fournier Hall with a towering festive live tree and fully-themed decorations throughout the nearby hallways. When finished, they would ring the bells and wake everyone up to come see their special-theme holiday masterpiece. My freshman year found the seniors gathered around the Christmas tree arm in arm singing "The Christmas Song" when my friends and I arrived. I will never forget the poignancy of that special moment.
"White Christmas"
I hear that warmer air is making its way to the mid-Atlantic region, so before all the snow melts, enjoy this heart-warming Christmas classic. I found this nostalgic clip from the December 20, 1957 Frank Sinatra ABC Christmas special where Frank joins Bing Crosby in his dreams for a "White Christmas."
Prayer for December 18:
Oh, Adonai, dearest Lord, Compassionate God of justice, so many areas of my life seem imprisoned but you promise me real freedom and peace in my life.
Renew my spirit and free my soul. Please, open my heart which you have bathed in the longing of Advent.
I am awe-struck as your glory fills the earth and I want to follow you in caring for others. Grant me the grace to see how you shine your light on the poor who have such a special place in your heart.

Topic: New Year (05/09/05)
TITLE: New Year, New Opportunities (ii)
By Mishael Witty
Now that it's two months after my birthday, I can look back and see the flipside of these negative thoughts. Lately, I have been working on the novel I've always wanted to write (and have published). I have been to several countries in South America, Mexico, Canada, and much of the United States – not to mention some very beautiful Caribbean islands. I do have a master's degree. God protected me last year from an almost certainly disastrous marriage with a man who never would have been able to love me the way I want (and deserve) to be loved. Besides, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:34 (NLT): "a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be more devoted to the Lord in body and in spirit, while the married woman must be concerned about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband."
This is what I am concentrating on in my life right now – being completely devoted to God. I am learning more and more what it means to walk in obedience to Him, and this is especially true as I follow His call on my life to write and share my writing with others. He has provided me with so many exciting opportunities to serve Him this year. He has helped me to shift my focus from the past: what I don't have and didn't accomplish, to the future: what I can accomplish for Him and through Him. Praise God!

With the guards I walked and stumbled through more stone corridors. More prisoners called out and reached for us, but more and more were shrinking back from the bars. I stole glances while we walked.
A man so still and shrivelled lay sprawled in the centre of his cell. He must have never gotten up from where the Guards threw him in. I thought he was dead, until he gave a raspy cough and shaky hand movement in my directions. Torchlight flickered over his features as we passed, and the resemblance to my father was scary. With a face that lined and sunken, his eyes appeared to be floating in a sea of leathery creases.
A woman no older than me sat huddled in a ball, rocking back and forth, muttering nonsense to herself. She looked up as the torchlight flickered into her cell, one eye blue looking at us, the other brown and looking at the wall beside her. I cringed unintentionally, the guards laughing at my reaction.
I stumbled up the stairs, guards pushing and shoving. The light began to change, hitting my face with warmth. My first glimpse of the outside in weeks. How I missed the blue skies and green grasses, how I had longed for even a glimpse at barren ground. I could see the gate dead ahead, wooden doors held open, portcullis up.
Freedom. Suddenly the word had new meaning.
I was jerked suddenly to the right, away from the gate and towards a small courtyard, barren except for a simple wooden structure. I dug my heels in, refusing to move another inch towards the gallows. My resistance was pointless.

An old sheet
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
I live in an apartment, so I have a combo workbench/PC repair table in my home office. I shut the door, open a window, flip the fan around to exhaust the fumes, and break out my extra big Kleen Bore cleaning mat, and some old towels, along with all my cleaning supplies.
I use an old table cloth that has a plastic surface on it. Cheap thing, probably a couple bucks a Kmart years ago that we used on the patio table when we ate out on the patio. I use it upside down, so the plastic side is underneath and the soft felt-like surface is up. The soft side absorbs the lube/solvent drips and the plastic side keeps them from getting through to the table. Same concept as a gun mat except I already had this on hand.
Newspaper, on the floor, table, or tailgate of the truck as turns my fancy at the time. Sometimes a parsons table in front of the fireplace.
I usually put down a few layers of newspaper, although with the paper only coming three times a week its getting harder to keep some handy. Then I put down an old bath towel, folded in about three layers. I use the dinning room table, as the misses is usually at work when I do this.
I have started using Gunzilla as my cleaner of choice. It seems to work well, and the smell doesn't linger as long as Hoppe's.
OUTSTANDING Crank we need to do a commercial!!!
i save the low cut boxes bottled water comes in and drop a few layers of newspaper in the bottom to absorb the mess...the beauty is if you drop something its in the box and easy to find...dirty patches and rags are left in the box and it all rolls up into a nice tidy package for the trash barrel....mama doesnt mind cause her kitchen table stays clean and oil free...
when i'm gonna hose something down real good i use the cheap foil baking/roasting pans you buy at the dollar store...and they get thrown away or cleaned and reused depending on the mess and my mood...
i like the shamwow idea...i have a source at the local flee market that gets the identical item in the big sheets in bulk and sells them for a dollar apiece...kinda blows the whole shamwow $20 package deal all to heck...
Actually I went to a plumbing wholesaler and got a roll of 3/16" rubber gasket material and cut it to fit my workbench that I built; Then I got a quart of weldwood contact cement and coated the gasket material and the top of the workbench, glueing it to the bench as I went. The material is impervious to just about any chemicals and provides an excellent non-slip surface for my guns or whatever I put on it.....
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
I use a gun mat or old towels.
I've been using just a section of cardboard box to protect the table. I would like one of those sham-wows though!
Newspapers on a folding table. I need something better for the rifles, but perfect for the pistols.

Alex met Tessa in her office. By the time he got there it was well after midnight, but she was waiting for him with a cup of coffee and a small smile.
"I might just decide to keep you after all," he said as he took the coffee. "How is Ava?"
"She's okay," Tessa murmured into his chest as he hugged her. "I told her you'd come by, but she fell asleep so I guess it's okay that you didn't show."
"I was with Ari. She's pretty banged up."
Tessa frowned. "Do you know who did it?"
"Not a fucking clue. It pisses me off. Who would want to hurt her? All she does is keep to herself. She doesn't bother anyone."
"Apparently someone thought she was in the way," Tessa said, raising an eyebrow. "I can't believe I'm even thinking that, I'm sorry."
Alex set his coffee down and held her at arm's length, staring into her face, his green eyes narrowed. "What are you thinking, babe?"
She bit her lip. She didn't want to say what she had been considering for awhile now, because it sounded absolutely ridiculous and would only make him paranoid.
Before she could say anything, however, her office door flew open and Emma stood there. She was out of breath, her eyes wide.
"Tessa, it's Ava."
Blue eyes grew large as she stepped away from Alex. "What happened?"
"I don't know where she is," Emma said quietly as they went out into the hall. Before Tessa could glare at her, she continued, "I went to check on all of them and Ava wasn't in her room. I didn't know where else to go. I'm sorry."
"Maybe she went to visit Ari," Alex said from behind them. He shut the office door, locked it, and handed Tessa her keys.
"I checked," Emma said, shaking her head. "She's not there, either."
"Okay, okay," Tessa said, running a hand down her face tiredly. "Where didn't you look yet?"
"Everywhere but the basement."
Tessa and Alex exchanged looks.
"Excuse me, Dr. Hadley." It was the nurse, coming toward them, looking a little worried. "Are you talking about Miss. Delong?"
"Yes," Tessa said, nodding. "Do you know where she is?"
The older woman bit her lip. "She left the treatment center, ma'am. With a boy."
