Life insurance is an important component of a financial plan. Insuring your mortgage makes perfect financial sense – your home is your largest debt in most cases, and if an unexpected death were to occur, you would not want your family to be forced to sell the home you shared.
Many people have mortgage insurance through a bank or lender to protect their family, but a recent conversation I had with a client, outlines the importance of knowing just how "insured" you are. Below is an actual case study, I have changed the names to protect anonymity.
A young couple, "John" and "Judy", buy a home together, which they share with two young children. They insure the mortgage with their bank (owe approximately $250,000), and the husband has an individual life insurance policy ($100,000) on top of that. They feel they are well insured, protecting the family.
Tragically, John is killed in a car accident leaving behind his family and debt. With so many other things to worry about, Judy at least has the peace of mind that her family can keep their home, while the additional insurance will give her some much needed funds to help over the coming months.
This is what happened – John's individual insurance pays out fairly quickly like it is supposed to, to the beneficiary on the policy – his mother. He set up the insurance before he was married, but hadn't reviewed it in many years and had not updated his beneficiary. His mother decides to hold on to the money – she is sure that if the money is released to her daughter in law that Judy will take the kids and move away.
Shortly after that, the bank contacts Judy to let her know that the mortgage insurance coverage is denied. Here is how coverage from a lender works: when you only answer a few questions and are given mortgage insurance, you have not been underwritten. In this case, the bank decides that they would not have insured John if they had underwritten the policy up front. They return the premiums paid and the mortgage is still outstanding.
I share this story to outline two things that should never be an issue at such a difficult time. First of all, have a life insurance policy that is written upfront so that you have a legal contract in case the unexpected happens. Secondly, make sure you are able to specify your beneficiaries (your family, not a bank/lender) and review somewhat regularly with an insurance professional.
One additional thing to keep in mind – life insurance costs less than mortgage insurance in most cases.
Protect your family, not your lender, and do regular reviews. At Ecclestone Financial Group, we can help!

Back in 2007 Rafe Champion and I started the History of Australian and New Zealand Thought as a blog because we thought that this was an important topic not properly covered by other blogs. Since then, the blog has struggled because we are just so busy.
I first really became interested in the history of thought back when I was a PhD student at the University of New England. Much history is involved with things like activities, events, trends, what happened and why. My research involved me in trying to understand what people thought.
While I was in Armidale, Professor Eugene Kamenka (1928–1994) came to deliver a seminar. Professor Kamenka was then Professor and the Head of the History of Ideas Unit at the Institute of Advanced Studies of the Australian National University.
Some of his ideas were too far outside the interests of his audience, but I found him fascinating and got heavily involved in discussion. One consequence was that I got invited to lunch and so had the opportunity to continue the dialogue.
Back in 2007 I started a series of posts on the History of Australian and New Zealand Thought blog on the history of New England thought. The series lagged, but I hadn't forgotten it.
Why New England thought?
Well, there is a fair bit of material around on the history of Australian thought, but little below the national level. That material that is there is very metro focused.
In saying this, I am not saying that the material is not interesting. I am very interested, for example, in the differences between Sydney and Melbourne thought. The two cities are remarkably different, differences that go back to differing history and social structures. Yet those cities and the way they thought are not the only or even the dominant threads in Australian thought.
I have done a fair bit of work since I started the New England thought series in 2007. Some of my ideas have changed. More importantly, I now have just so much more evidence.
Given my new material, I do want to return to the New England thought topic. But do I do it here or on the History of Australian and New Zealand Thought blog?
After thinking about it, I have decided to split the material. I am going to place the very specific material here, with some of the broader material going to the other blog. However, this raises a broader question.
I know that some of my history colleagues do read this blog. Would you be interested in helping Rafe and I re-launch the History of Australian and New Zealand Thought?
You don't need to be a professional historian. After all, I am not, nor is Rafe. You just need to be as fascinated as us in the way Australians and New Zealanders think.
To really make a go of the blog, we need up to five contributors. That way we can get a constant stream of posts without creating too much individual strain. That way, too, we can get the interaction between authors that really aids the creation of a viable blog.
What do you think? Any volunteers?

Need a Personalized Response?
Home > Services > Urgent Care
If you need medical attention and your primary care physician (PCP) is unavailable, where do you go? Our urgent care and walk-in clinics in West Chester and Broomall treat patients with common medical conditions and minor injuries. No appointment is needed and doctors are available after traditional office hours.
As a result, the best time to visit an urgent care center is when there is a minor trauma, such as a sprain, where the condition isn't life threatening but requires immediate treatment. Urgent care clinics can also handle broken bones of the wrist, hand, ankle or foot.
Just walk in and experienced doctors and nurses will treat you and your family. Urgent care centers are the ideal choice if you're experiencing one or more of the following symptoms:
When you visit one of our urgent care centers and are prescribed medications, you can purchase your medications as you check out. CK Urgent Care in Broomall and Pioneer Urgent Care in West Chester offer the most commonly prescribed medications so you will not have to stop at a pharmacy on your way home.
All prescriptions must be paid out-of-pocket but prices are comparable to insurance prescription coverage. No controlled substances, such as opioids, are available at the urgent care centers.
If you feel sick, in pain or simply uncomfortable, you probably want to take care of the health issue at the root of it right away. Between retail clinics, urgent care centers and emergency departments, you have a lot consider for where and how to get immediate treatment.
Here are some guidelines for when to visit an urgent care center or go to the emergency room.
If you suspect you're having a heart attack or stroke, or if you're experiencing debilitating symptoms such as severe chest pain or bleeding, you should not drive to a medical facility. Instead, call 9-1-1 immediately.

Good morning! Stopping by with a card I made a little while ago as a special request for a friend. It was for a 75th Anniversary, and needed to have coral and teal and butterflies on it. I was flipping through what I had looking for a good butterfly image, when I found this one from Unity - only it had an extra butterfly over the heart. An anniversary card with three butterflies just seemed weird, so I was going to move on, when my daughter asked why I didn't just take that butterfly off! Brilliant! A bit of masking later, and it was a perfect image!
I used watercolors to color in the image - layered color on for lots of pretty texture and adding splatters, then added Glossy Accents over the butterflies - that was totally the right way to embellish them - they just pop off the card!
Added a jute twine bow, popped it up with foam over a woodgrain paper layer, and that was that!
Here are links to the products I used on this including affiliate links where possible. Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!!

Weekend reports claim that the ANC Youth League (ANCYL) has publicly declared its support for Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma for the governing party's 2017 elective conference.
Professor Sipho Seepe, an independent political analyst, said it was probable that honest discussions were underway regarding the best candidate to replace President Jacob Zuma.
Seepe said debating the ideal ANC presidential replacement may divert the party's focus ahead of the local government elections in 2016.
There is no doubt that there are discussions about who will replace Jacob Zuma as the president of the ANC and of the country. However, opening these debates on the eve of local government elections might divert attention from what the ANC must focus on. The party must focus on governing well in order to win the next elections.— Professor Sipho Seepe, independent political analyst

An Easy Way To Learn About Wine: Podcasts
at the Wine Rack
Not a week goes by without someone commenting to me that they would like to learn more about wine. The methods for doing so have not changed for decades as there are hundreds of books, wine-tasting courses, and in the Internet age there are many websites offering everything from online courses, blogs, articles, commentary, tasting notes and wine reviews. I did a Google search for "learning about wine", and up popped about 3,890,000 results. There is another digital option, however: subscribing to podcasts on wine.
What are Podcasts?
A podcast is an online show, audio or video that is broadcasted over the Internet and is broken up into parts or episodes that will automatically download to your smartphone or other audio device if you subscribe to it. While podcasts have been around for over 10 years, in 2012 Apple upgraded its operating system for its iOS devices (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and included a stand-alone app dedicated to podcasts. This made it extremely easy to search for and subscribe to podcasts on any subject matter. I currently subscribe to just over 50 podcasts on a wide range of topics including information technology, wine, personal development, entrepreneurship, business, cybersecurity, history, science, marketing, exponential thinking, fitness and health. I listen to them during my early morning run/walk sessions, my daily commutes; my car has become a university!
My Current Top 5 Wine Podcasts
With high-quality audio/video recording equipment readily available at relatively low prices, anyone with an interest in creating a podcast seems to be doing it; many however are not that good. I prefer great-quality interviews with very knowledgeable subject matter experts. Here are my top 5 suggestions for wine lovers:
1. Grape Radio — This was one of the very first wine podcasts out there, and I was listening from almost inception, perhaps attracted because of their slogan: "enthusiasm for wine gets personal". It is great for both consumers and professionals. It is the only podcast to win a James Beard Award for broadcast journalism. It is a discussion/interview type of how conducted by a few wine-loving businessmen.
2. Wine for Normal People — This podcast is conducted by a husband-and-wife team. Voted one of Imbibe Magazine's "10 Great Podcasts for Imbibers" sommelier Elizabeth Schneider calls her show "the podcast for people who like wine but not the snobbery that goes with it" and that truly sums it up — ( Imbibe Magazine, "10 Great Podcasts for Imbibers" Summer 2013). Easy-going, simple and fun.
3. Guild of Sommeliers Wine Podcast — One of my favourites, this podcast is produced by GuildSomm, which is a non-profit American membership organisation dedicated to helping sommeliers learn about and grow their careers. It is hosted by Master Sommelier Geoff Kruth and he covers wine tastings, pairings, regions and restaurant service all from the perspective of the sommeliers. While it is mainly for professionals, advanced wine enthusiasts will also enjoy it.
4. Wine Enthusiast Podcast — This podcast is produced by Wine Enthusiast magazine. It offers a range of discussions and interviews mainly in non-studio settings (which sometimes gets a bit distracting). The guests and topics for the show are varied, and include coverage of beer, cocktails and general entertaining. This is mainly for consumers.
5. I'll Drink to That! — Hosted by former sommelier and wine editor for Eater New York Levi Dalton who interviews wine personalities including beverage directors, winemakers, sommeliers, ambassadors and writers about their lives and work. I think most wine enthusiasts will enjoy.
The Tools I Use to Listen
The main ways to listen to the shows are either from the producers' websites or via mobile devices. On Apple devices, I stick with the Apple podcast app. On android devices I use the Stitcher app. If you are NOT able to sit in a class for 3 to 4 hours, you can log on to iTunes or Stitcher and search for 'wine'. You will be surprised to find many podcasts on the topic, and the best thing is that they are free.
Happy listening towards more informed sipping!

Jozef Mackiewicz arrived at the scene of the Katyn massacre, at the open graves of the Polish officers on 21st (or 22nd) May 1943, together with a group of Polish workers sent there by the Germans, and three journalists from neutral and occupied countries. On 3rd June 1943 he presented his account in the "Daily Messenger" published in Vilnius by the Germans. We are quoting this interview ( with some abbreviations ) from: Jozef Mackiewicz, "Katyń - zbrodnia bez sądu i kary" ("Katyn - a crime without court and punishment"), edited by Jacek Trznadel, ANTYK Marcin Dybowski Publishing, Warsaw 1997; translated by Tatiana Fuller.
I saw it with my own eyes...
First question is the most difficult and therefore seems a little pointless:

NEW YORK — Ending months of on-again, off-again negotiations and widespread Wall Street speculation, CBS Inc. announced late Wednesday afternoon that it has reached an agreement to sell its record division to Sony Corp.
"The Sony board in Tokyo and CBS board in New York approved the sale of the record division for $2 billion in cash. It was unanimous," said CBS President and Chief Executive Laurence A. Tisch as he left CBS' New York headquarters Wednesday evening following a special board meeting called to vote on the sale.
In a statement released minutes after the board meeting ended, CBS said that while it has signed a "definitive agreement to sell our worldwide record operations," the company doesn't expect the deal to be finalized until early 1988, "after receipt of required government approval."
"After long discussion and very careful review, our board concluded that this is a very attractive offer in terms of value to the shareholders, while it also provides an important source of capital and allows us to focus all of our energies and resources on our core business of broadcasting," Tisch said in the CBS statement.

The steps I took were:
- Load the XML in Visual Studio and click XML, Create Schema. This created two .xsd files "MySettings.xsd" and "MySettings1.xsd" (in the same directory) as Visual Studio 2010 split them out by namespace apparently. At any rate, what I had to do was edit the xs:import element in the parent XSD, adding a schemaLocation attribute with the unqualified name of the second .xsd file.
- Downloaded jsonix-scripts-1.2-all.js and jsonix-full-1.2.jar from http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/hisrc/jsonix/ -- note, I tried 1.0 per the how-to on the author's site, but it didn't seem to work for me (got errors which I didn't have the time to troubleshoot); however 1.2 worked like a charm, although the generated objects are rather cryptic.
- Ran C:\temp\jsonix-samples-po-1.0>java -jar lib/jsonix-full-1.2.jar -d src/main/webapp/js src/main/resources/MySettings.xsd
This generated two folders with a Mappings.js in each folder, corresponding to the two .xsd files. I combined these two .js files into one, putting the code from generated\Mappings.js at the top of the file and the code from settingsuri\Mappings.js (assuming "SettingsURI" is the root xmlns) at the bottom.
- I then uploaded my sample .xml and the .js files to the SharePoint list and placed the following code in a test .html page.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="jquery.SPServices-0.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="jsonix-scripts-1.2-all.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="BothMappings.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var context = new Jsonix.Context([ settingsuri]);
var unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();
var myURL = "MySettings.xml";
function (data) {
var objectFromURL = data;
- Turn on Debugging in IE Developer tools and place a breakpoint in the callback. The local watch clearly shows objectFromURL reflects the mappings of the XML file. Pretty sweet.

Indiana limestone is a part of the culture in this part of south central Indiana. If you'd like to learn more about the history of the Indiana Limestone industry, place it comes from, or the stone itself, browse through the resources we've listed below.
Indiana Bedrock Project
This cooperative project seeks to research, catalogue and ultimately digitize various photographs, letters, newspaper clippings, business records and other ephemera relating to the Matthews Brothers Stone Company, a limestone quarry which operated out of Ellettsville, Indiana from 1862 to 1978. Though especially concerned with the Matthews Brothers Stone Company, the project seeks to uncover the development of the Indiana limestone industry across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Indiana Geological and Water Survey
The IGWS is located on the Indiana University campus and is a wealth of information about all types of rocks, fossils and minerals found in the Hoosier state. Here, you'll learn about the type of Limestone found in this part of Indiana, some of the history of quarrying and the properties of Indiana limestone that make it so sought after.
Indiana Limestone Institute of America
The Indiana Limestone Institute of America is a resource for architects, contractors, building owners and others seeking accurate, unbiased information about the use of Indiana Limestone in construction. ILI's technical publications and their "Indiana Limestone Handbook" are widely recognized as being among the best "how to" books in the construction industry.
Indiana University Archives
A department within the Indiana University Library System, the IU Archives are a wealth of information about all things related to Indiana University. This includes historical and cultural information, such as historic photographs and articles about various happenings on campus, such as the quarrying of limestone and the construction of new buildings and landmarks.
Indiana University Press
The Indiana University Press publishes a number of works about various aspects of Indiana. Two notable examples of publications with a focus on Indiana limestone are Stone Country, with text by Scott R. Sanders and photography by Jeffrey A. Wolin and Limestone Lives: Voices from the Indiana Stone Belt, by Katherine Ferrucci.
Lawrence County Museum of History
Located in downtown Bedford, Indiana, the Lawrence County Museum of History is a great resource for learning more about the heritage of Indiana Limestone in the Bedford and Lawrence County community. Much of downtown Bedford is constructed from the local stone and the area's limestone companies, cutters and carvers have profoundly affected the development of communities within Lawrence County.
Lawrence County Libraries
Local libraries can be a gold mine of information. Visit the Bedford Public Library or the Mitchell Public Library to learn more about each community's history and heritage through local newspaper clippings and books, including the limestone industry.
Monroe County History Center
The Monroe County History Center is your resource for all things related to the history and heritage of Monroe County. In their permanent exhibit, you'll find vestiges of the Limestone industry's history and heritage, including tools, models and a video. Learn more about how the area's vibrant limestone industry helped shape the community.
Monroe County LibraryLand of Limestone Exhibit - Oakland City University - Bedford
The Monroe County Library has fantastic research resources, including historic documents, photographs, newspaper clippings, oral histories and more. You can even do long-distance-research - the Indiana Room is a resource that allows library staff to do your research for you, for a small fee.
This branch campus of Oakland City University is housed in a historic limestone building. In a nod to origins of the structure and the importance of the limestone industry to the area, the University maintains a permanent "Land of Limestone" exhibit within the building.

Art Vandals for 9/11 Truth
One of Gage's gaggle went all nuts recently on a famous painting at the Louvre, not the big one in Paris but a smaller branch:
The 28-year-old woman scribbled "AE911" in permanent marker on a foot long section at the bottom of the painting.
"AE911" is a shortened form of "Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth", a group whose website says they are calling for an inquiry into the World Trade Centre attacks to see whether they were destroyed by explosives. She was immediately seized by a guard and another visitor, and is being questioned by police.
"She appears to be a person with mental health problems," said the local prosecutor, Philippe Peyroux. He also called for the young woman to be examined by a psychiatrist, saying: "She has moments of lucidity and delirious outbursts."
Judging by the description of the woman, she should pretty much fit right in at the average AE911 Truth meeting.
Fortunately they were able to repair the painting. H/T to regular reader Guitar Bill for pointing out this bit of nuttiness.

Courtney Love Reunites With Frances Cobain 5 Years Later
Courtney and Frances had been apart for five years after Courtney lost custody of her daughter in 2009. 22-year-old Frances attacked her mother on Twitter for Courtney's accusations against former Nirvana member, Steve Grohl. Courtney accused Grohl for hitting on Frances in 2009, and Frances retaliated by urging Twitter to ban her mother from the site. Courtney later apologized, tweeting, "Bean, sorry I believed the gossip. Mommy loves you." In 2014, Love and Grohl put aside their differences and appeared on stage together at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, which welcomed Nirvana into the prestigious fold, according to E!.
It's always a happy sight to see mother and daughter put away their daggers and love each other once again.
Courtney Love has always been a rollercoaster of emotions and sobriety, but one aspect in her life always remains constant: her style. She was the curator of female grunge fashion, with running makeup, tattered clothes and wild hair. For this, Courtney will always be remembered as a fashion innovator.
Take a look at Courtney's trademark looks in the slideshow above.

Nancy Menard, age 58 of Ferrisburgh, was traveling south on Route 7 when William Crocoll, age 82 of North Ferrisburgh, pulled into her path of travel as he turned onto Route 7 from New Haven Road. According to Crocoll, there was a tractor driving up the west side shoulder to the south, blocking his view of Menards vehicle. Crocoll thought it was clear to turn onto Route 7 and head north and was struck by Menards vehicle. It was determined that Crocoll was the at fault operator and will be receiving a Vermont Civil Violation Complaint for a violation of Failure to Yield.

So it seems from my recent post about gym anxiety that so many other people suffer from gym anxiety too! Even though I knew that, it's still good reassurance that I'm not always walking into a class where everyone is confident and knows what the heck they're doing. So, while my last post was mostly about the mental side of things, this one is a little more pragmatic. So you've decided to shove fear aside and try out a new gym/workout class (I knew you had it in you!)... what now?
Here's how to make yourself as comfortable as possible, while stepping out of your comfort zone and into a new gym:
Do your Research
Does the studio have showers or nah? Lockers or nah? Do you need tennis shoes or socks or is barefoot cool? Do you need to bring your own towel? A blowdrier? And what the heck should you wear? You can actually find the answer to most of these questions by looking at the studio/gym's website, scoping out their FB page or Instagram (to see pictures of people in the class), checking out Yelp reviews, or getting really old school and giving them a call. Once you've got the answers to these, there shouldn't be any surprises about the basics.
Plan Ahead
The night before, I always map out how long it will take me to get to the gym on GoogleMaps. If it's 25 minutes, I plan to leave about 45 minutes before, so I can get there early and have a little cushion in case I get lost. If you're like me and your brain actually does not function in the mornings, you can set a little note on the alarm, so even your half asleep brain can see what time you have to leave.
Arrive Early
Seriously. Get there early. If you are the most perpetually late person in the universe (which is rude, justsayin'), get there early. You want to be there in case the teacher asks about newbies, and can give you a quick demo or rundown of the class. And, so they can show you equipment, if you'll be using any. Also, you can ask any questions you might have, and so you can let the instructor know about injuries, so he/she can provide modifications that will help you. Do not show up 5 minutes before. Show up 15 minutes before. It is soooo much better to be early then to be late and flustered already as you walk in.
Follow the Leader
If all else fails, monkey see, monkey do. Are people taking off their boots as soon as they enter the gym? You should probably do that too. Did everyone grab a towel? You might want one then. And feel free to ask someone around you if you don't know what you're doing! They were a new kid once too. I ask questions a lot, and no ones ever growled at me...yet.
How do you prep for a new gym/studio experience? Leave your tips!

Simone Weil time again! One of the essays in Waiting for God is entitled "Forms of the Implicit Love of God." Her main argument is that before a soul has "direct contact" with God, there are three types of love that are implicitly the love of God, though they seem to have a different explicit object. That is, in loving X, you are really loving Y. (in this case, Y = God). As for the X of the equation, she lists:"Each has the virtue of a sacrament," she writes. Each of these loves is something to be respected, honoured, and understood both symbolically and concretely. On each page of this essay, I found myself underlining profound, challenging, and thought-provoking words. There's so much to consider that I've gone back several times, mulling it over and wondering how my life would look if I truly believed even half of these things...
- Love of neighbor
- Love of the beauty of the world
- Love of religious practices
- and a special sidebar to Friendship
Here are a few quotes on each topic - some get a little philosophical, but I feel confident that there's something in here for everyone!
Love of Neighbor:
"The gospel makes no distinction between the love of our neighbour and justice."
"To treat our neighbour who is in affliction with love is something like baptizing him."
"In denying oneself, one becomes capable under God of establishing someone else by a creative affirmation. One gives oneself in ransom for the other. It is a redemptive act."
"God is not present, even if we invoke him, where the afflicted are merely regarded as an occasion for doing good."
"The sufferer and the other love each other, starting from God, through God, but not for the love of God; they love each other for the love of the one for the other. This is an impossibility. That is why it comes about only through the agency of God."
Love of the Order of the World:
"By loving our neighbor we imitate the divine love which created us and all our fellows. By loving the order of the world we imitate the divine love which created this universe of which we are a part."
"In general…the beauty of the world is almost absent from the Christian tradition. This is strange. It is difficult to understand. It leaves a terrible gap. How can Christianity call itself catholic if the universe itself is left out?"
"The beauty of the world is Christ's tender smile for us coming through matter."
"Only beauty is not the means to anything else. It alone is good in itself, but without our finding any particular good or advantage in it. It seems itself to be a promise and not a good. But it only gives itself; it never gives anything else."
"The longing to love the beauty of the world in a human being is essentially the longing for the Incarnation."
"The suitability of things, beings, and events consists only in this, that they exist and that we should not wish that they did not exist or that they had been different."
"We have a heavenly country, but in a sense it is too difficult to love, because we do not know it; above all, in a sense, it is too easy to love, because we can imagine it as we please. We run the risk of loving a fiction under this name. If the love of the fiction is strong enough it makes all virtue easy, but at the same time of little value. Let us love the country of here below. It is real; it offers resistance to love. It is this country that God has given us to love. He has willed that it should be difficult yet possible to love it."
The Love of Religious Practices:
"A change of religion is for the soul like a change of language for a writer. All religions, it is true, are not equally suitable for the recitation of the name of the Lord. Some, without any doubt, are very imperfect mediums…But in general the relative value of the various religions is a very difficult thing to discern; it is almost impossible, perhaps quite impossible. For a religion is known only from the inside."
"Each religion is an original combination of explicit and implicit truths; what is explicit in one is implicit in another. The implicit adherence to a truth can in some cases be worth as much as the explicit adherence, sometimes even a great deal more. He who knows the secrets of all hearts alone knows the secret of the different forms of faith. He has never revealed this secret, whatever anyone may say."
"Attention animated by desire is the whole foundation of religious practices."
"One of the principal truths of Christianity, a truth that goes almost unrecognized today, is that looking is what saves us…It is at those moments when we are, as we say, in a bad mood, when we feel incapable of the elevation of soul that befits holy things, it is then that it is most effectual to turn our eyes toward perfect purity. For it is then that evil, or rather mediocrity, comes to the surface of the soul and is in the best position for being burned by contact with the fire…the effort to look upon purity at such times, has to be something very violent; yet it is absolutely different from all that is generally known as effort, such as doing violence to one's feelings or an act of will. Other words are needed to express it, but language cannot provide them."
"The effort that brings a soul to salvation is like the effort of looking or of listening; it is the kind of effort by which a fiancée accepts her lover. It is an act of attention and consent; whereas what language designates as will is something suggestive of muscular effort…We cannot take a single step toward heaven. It is not in our power to travel in a vertical direction. If however we look heavenward for a long time, God comes and takes us up. He raises us easily…There is an easiness in salvation which is more difficult to us than all our efforts."
"When a human being is in any degree necessary to us, we cannot desire his good unless we cease to desire our own."
"There is no friendship where there is inequality…If on one of the two sides there is not any respect for the autonomy of the other, this other must cut the bond uniting them out of respect for himself."
"Friendship has something universal about it. It consists of loving a human being as we should like to be able to love each soul in particular of all those who go to make up the human race."
"Pure friendship is an image of the original and perfect friendship that belongs to the Trinity and is the very essence of God."
Implicit and Explicit Love:
"In the period of preparation the soul loves in emptiness. It does not know whether anything real answers its love. It may believe that it knows, but to believe is not to know. Such a belief does not help. The soul knows for certain only that it is hungry. The important thing is that it announces its hunger by crying. A child does not stop crying if we suggest to it that perhaps there is no bread. It goes on crying just the same.
The danger is not lest the soul should doubt whether there is any bread, but lest, by a lie, it should persuade itself that it is not hungry. It can only persuade itself of this by lying, for the reality of its hunger is not a belief, it is a certainty."
"God is pure beauty…God is, moreover, our real neighbour…God is also the perfect friend…In fact, contact with God is the true sacrament."
"We can, however, be almost certain that those whose love of God has caused the disappearance of the pure loves belonging to our life here below are no true friends of God. Our neighbor, our friends, religious ceremonies, and the beauty of the world do not fall to the level of unrealities after the soul has had direct contact with God. On the contrary, it is only then that these things become real. Previously they were half dreams. Previously they had no reality."
I'd love to hear your thoughts on these - which strike you as profound? Which confuse you? Which do you disagree with? Let's hear all the thoughts! Let's discuss!

All that changes when Scout watches her father, Atticus Finch, defend, Tom Robinson, against a potential death sentence, which looms against him because of prejudice due to race.

How to create inspired productivity
We spoke to several forward-thinking employers and learned that it takes a dash of creativity to create a more productive work environment.
A quaint, brightly colored plant in the corner may be one manager's idea of how to boost company morale, but we know there are more impressive moves to make. We spoke to several forward-thinking employers and learned that it takes a dash of creativity to create a more productive work environment.
Add movement: Take a look at the office layout and ask yourself if it allows space for mobility. "You don't need to add more space to mix it up — just make use of the spots that go empty for hours," says Kevin Kuske, chief anthropologist general manager at Turnstone, a company that designs workspaces for small businesses. With a background in anthropology, Kuske focuses on turning offices into idea incubators. "In your design, truly support mobility by having a variety of work areas and addressing practical things like having power near all couches, counters and group areas."
Talk to the employees: Listen to the employees and learn what it is that they want. "I know that sounds obvious, but I am amazed how infrequently leaders ask people what would improve productivity, morale or engagement," says Rick Maurer, author of "Beyond the Wall of Resistance," a book on change in the workplace. Employees are your best resource: Go to them.
Get healthy
A healthy worker is a more productive worker, which is another reason to promote an active lifestyle within the office. Punit Dhillion is the CEO of OnocoSec Medical, and he has set up a communal bike share at the office so that people can bike to lunch. "I believe that being active boosts your energy levels and your mood. We adopted a policy that encourages staff to engage in physical activity during their breaks," says Dhillion. That's one way to get past that mid-afternoon caffeine crash.

So, I have been to two Lasik doctors and had consultations. I have been researching PRK and Lasik, and I am in need of another opinion.
I do not have my exact numbers, but I do have approximates. My cornea is around 571 microns. Both corneas were around that same number.
My latest contact perscription(1 year ago w/ my vision remaining stable) was:
Right eye Left eye
-5 .75 -5.00
- 2.75 -1.50
.005 1.80
My eyeglass perscription was slightly different. With there testing methods, my persription was between -6 and -6.5.
The first lasik center I went to was a significant chain location. They wanted to do PRK with the Alcon LADARVision laser.
The second place I went to was local and the surgeon was a cornea specialist. My opthamologist works with him (and other doctors) and said that is who she would trust. Since then,she has done Lasik with this doctor. The technician seems to think I am a canidate for Lasik. She wants to talk to the surgeon because of the high percentage of cornea the surgery will require to see how he feels about it. After the surgery with CustomCornea Wavefront, my cornea will be 287 microns thick. This is over the 250 micron limit. the technician said that this will still allow for an enhancement if my perscription was off up to 2 diopters. Does this information seem correct? PRK is also an option, but due to my higher level perscription there is a chance of haze. Do you have any insights on this particular situation? I am not the type of person that has to have this surgery. I only want to do something if I am a good canidate. With all of this being said, I do trust the surgeons opinion. It will be a week before I can hear his thoughts on my specific situation. I am interested in hearing anyones opinion about my options.

what i thought i read was that, tied into the 556 green tip thing, ATF wanted to tighten ammo laws and loosen some NFA(or GCA) laws. it was citing MikeV and the other guy from ATF. at shot show is wehre the rumor started i think? and democrats at the senate level were the ones pushing the GCA stuff? im getting it kinda muddled but thats why it mkaes sense that it doesnt make sense, cause ATF via democrats had a purpose for the "non shotguns"

Declan Bonner happy with display against Armagh
"Any day you go to the Athletic Grounds and get a results is a good day," was the immediate reaction of Donegal manager, Declan Bonner, after the final whistle last night.
Donegal had to weather an early storm from Armagh, but once they got into their stride, they were much the better team in Armagh.
"Armagh came at us in the first 20 minutes but you expect that. Every team has their time, but once we settled down I thought we were much the better team, to be honest," he said.
"We kicked on in the second half and it was a real solid performance. I thought the way we played over the full game was excellent. Once we moved the ball at pace, it was very difficult to defend against," said Bonner.
Armagh won the physical battle early on but once Donegal got going, they won that battle too with Michael Carroll, Jason McGee, Michael Langan and Rory Carr to the fore.
"We are a big physical side with many of the lads 6'3", 6'4". Those lads are well able to look after themselves but they can play football too," Bonner added.
"This is championship football and you do expect that physicality but our boys are ready for it. Our game is about playing football and moving the ball.
The Donegal manager had particular praise for his defence, who he said sometimes did not get the praise they deserved.
"It's an improved performance from the last day," he said.
"We held Tyrone scoreless for 30 minutes in Ballybofey. People don't talk much about our defence but our defensive game was very good. Defensively they have worked really, really hard.
"Goals win games and it was nice to get them today from the two Gaoth Dobhair men. Daire's goal was sheer pace and a good finish and Naoise always threaten goals.
"We had two good goal chances in the first half. Niall O'Donnell had a great chance and Conor Doc's was a shot along the ground.
"We always create goals because of the pace in there. We had a lot of great performances in there today and I don't like to single out any player but the performance from Rory Carr inside was outstanding," said Bonner, who added that he was glad to be able to throw in some of his panel in the second half.
He said the O'Baoill's and Ethan O'Donnell were carrying knocks but felt all three contributed handsomely.
The Donegal manager is going to give the panel members who start their Leaving Certificate on Wednesday a break, but will train the other members of the panel this week.

Chloe's Answer: ALL the time! Well, mostly before I go sleep and especially on weekends. Sometimes when I have a reading break at school.
Meagan's Answer: When I go to sleep and when Mommy makes me! (you can see what I'm dealing with in my youngest! Lol!)
I put the little pocket on the back of my layout so I could add the questions and answers for my interview with the girls into it....they always love pulling out these little gems years later. Here is a picture of the back of the layout with the pocket.
'All About Me' for this page, I thought the collection was just perfect for this type of theme. Just a NOTE: I created the postage stamp edge on the regular 12x12 All About Me paper by using the die cut paper from the WP Western Romance collection as a template. I just slightly shifted the first few sections from each corner when tracing the design (making them slightly smaller) so that I could then cut out the edge design and lay it on a 12x12 piece of cardstock to create a mat for the patterned paper. Also, I gave myself some extra blue forget-me-not blooms to cut out as embellishments by printing off one of the designs from the Digi Motifs from the All About Me collection on some plain white glossy cardstock paper. You can find them HERE. Here are a few close-ups of the page...
Patterned Paper; All about Me (Looking Ahead..I used the Western Romance Die cut paper as a template to give the AAB paper the postage stamp edge), AAB Love the Journey
Petite Paper Pad; All About Me (behind photos, & pocket behind layout)
Dazzle Me Gems; All About Me collection pack.
Journaling Cards; All About Me
Alpha Stickers; All About Me
Cut blooms: printed from WP All About Me Digi Elements, then cut out
Butterflies; Botanical Christmas
Bloomers; Bloomers Deluxe Card (blue)
Lace Trim: Winter Fairy Tales Trim Card #13f
WP Cameo Push Pins

We realigned a 1,000-foot section of SR 542 near Glacier Springs in Whatcom County in February and March 2015.
During a late November and early December 2014, runoff in the Nooksack River from heavy rainfall eroded several feet of a bluff at the eastbound shoulder of SR 542. The erosion continued into the winter. As a safety precaution, on Feb. 8, 2015 WSDOT reduced a 1,000-foot section of SR 542 to one lane controlled by temporary signals. On Feb. 19, 2015 contractor crews began building a 1,000-foot long, two-lane section of highway to realign SR 542 approximately 100 feet northeast of the bluff. The newly realigned highway opened to drivers March 19, 2015.
Improves safety
Realigning SR 542 moved the highway farther from the bluff, ensuring both lanes could remain open. SR 542 is the only road link to eastern Whatcom County for emergency vehicles, residents and tourists.
Protects environment
Moving SR 542 away from the Nooksack River allowed contractor crews to remove the pavement near the top of the bluff and replant the area with native grasses, shrubs and trees. If the bluff continues to erode, removing the asphalt will keep it from falling into the river.
Partnerships & cooperation
The Whatcom County Department of Emergency Management and the Mount Baker Ski Area worked with WSDOT to keep the public informed about the emergency lane closure and progress on realigning the highway.
This project received $3 million in emergency relief funds from the Federal Highway Administration

It's all too common a tale when you're a local councillor. As a prominent figure in the local community, people may come to you with problems at any moment – and all you're trying to do is buy some groceries. Fitting your public role into your private life can be tough.
But you did sign up to this. Your community should feel like it can rely on you, that you're approachable and trustworthy. And so juggling your bags and their concerns, you reach for your notebook to record their case. You scribble it down. Done.
That's not the end though. When you get home, you've got to start the cogs of local democracy turning to get this problem solved. Only you've mislaid the note. You can't remember their exact address. What were the finer details of their noise complaint again?
There's a better way to stay organised.
Helping you to help them
For over 10 years, councillors across the UK have been using eCasework to record, track and complete cases brought to them by their public. It's a useful tool, taken on centrally by Lambeth Council and Rotherham Council to help their councillors improve life for local residents. But as with everything, there comes a time when you need to do a bit of maintenance, tinker with things and make improvements. So we're building a new version.
A new era
Without a doubt, technology plays an important role in the lives of most people. Technology has been helping businesses everywhere become more efficient and provide better services. There's also a growing trend for councillors to become more active online and engage digitally with their local community.
With all of that in mind, the new version of eCasework is being designed from the ground up. Paying particular attention to mobile devices, scenarios like the mislaid note will become a thing of the past. Next time a neighbour raises a concern, you'll be primed and ready to help. They can track the case too. You'll be able to see if it's part of a larger issue. Your casework can even start to inform local policy.
We want to help you
- be a local champion
- stay on the ball with community developments
- engage personally with residents and business, and
- get things done.
Join us!
Keep an eye on this blog or join us on Twitter to hear about all the latest developments. Current eCasework members can claim a discount on the new version now.
Thanks for reading!

analogue film, Canon A-1, derby, derbyshire, film photography, history, National Trust, Park, photography, SLR camera, travel, Travelogue
The title 'Travelogue' may suggest a journey of epic proportions. I see it as any journey, even one that is within a few minutes walk or drive from home.
So here is another of my occasional Travelogue entries. I am being lazy and rolling two trips into one: a 10 minute walk from my house is Darley Park (in Derby, UK) and just up the road – literally, 5 miles away is the stunning Kedleston Hall, a National Trust property once the home of the Scarsdale baronetcy & a little further afield is Calke Abbey, tagged as the 'Un-stately home! A visit to both houses strongly recommended if you're in the area,
The pictures were taken with a Canon A-1 35mm SLR because in this digital age, why not? Analogue is good! You can read about my rediscovery of film photography in this entry from a couple of years ago.

Two posts in one day! I made one of my husband's favorite dishes tonight for dinner, and I really felt the need to share. Warning- this isn't one of those super healthy recipes I like to post! It is lighter than the restaurant version, but it's still a pretty hefty meal. This is how I do cheeseburger pasta.
- Ground turkey
- Sour cream
- Barbecue sauce
- Diced yellow onion
- Whole grain pasta
- Diced tomatoes
- Shredded lettuce
- Shredded cheddar
- Dill pickle slices
- Potato sticks
1. Brown the turkey in a pan and start boiling water for the pasta.
2. In a saucepan, stir together about a 1/2 a cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce. If you prefer more barbecue taste, add more of that; or if you prefer less, add more sour cream- get the taste right for you. Add the diced onions and cook them down in the mixture.
3. Add the pasta to boiling water, cook for about 12 minutes. Drain turkey and return to pan. Stir your sauce into the turkey, coating it lightly.
4. Drain pasta and add a bit of butter to prevent sticking. Olive oil might not be good to use with the heat.
5. Plate your dish: drop about a cooking spoon full of pasta onto a plate and make a hole in the middle, serve the meat in the center of the pasta. Add your shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded cheddar on top of the meat. Place three pickle chips on the very top. Sprinkle with potato sticks.
6. Take a picture! You've created a restaurant dish!

Why we need to teach the world to sing
by Richard Gill on October 6, 2015 filed under Classical Music | Vocal & Choral | Comment Now
Richard Gill believes singing is the best way to acquire a complete musical education.
Using the voice as a way of learning music seems such a logical thing to do that one wonders why it needs any sort of defence or advocacy. However, there is a view in the minds of some children, and shared by some parents and teachers, that singing at school as part of a music class does not constitute a proper music lesson. A proper music lesson only takes place when one attends an instrumental class such as a piano lesson. Perhaps time will see this disconnection being corrected, as singing makes a very special re-entry into the school curriculum nationally.
In some establishments, singing has always been a part of the fabric of school life. One school in Melbourne – a boys' school, Melbourne High – comes to mind immediately. I have had the great pleasure to be in the school when the boys have sung several songs including music from the Baroque, folk songs from diverse cultures and a variety of contemporary songs. The singing was accurate, intense, and it was performed with incredible commitment.
While the physical benefits to be derived from good singing (through controlled breathing, controlled use of tongue, mouth, chest, neck, head, abdominal muscles and so on), along with its immediate impact in providing a sense of well-being have all been documented, I'd like to address the benefits that singing provides as a direct path to a complete music education.
Given normal circumstances, all people can produce some sort of vocal sound, which can be developed, more or less, into a singing tone. While in some people it is undoubtedly limited, it would be fair to say that we are all born with the capacity to sing to a greater or lesser degree.
We sing because it is so enjoyable. In the animal kingdom, singing is very often a way of attracting a mate. David Attenborough deals with the reasons human beings sing in a Science Show programme (ABC Radio National, January 30, 2010), which is still available for download. Excellent listening!
Through early teaching, children can learn an enormous body of songs and singing games while simultaneously incorporating movement. This vocal material then provides opportunities for children to be creative, encouraging them to improvise on the familiar song material by inventing patterns in movement like clapping, stamping and clicking (often called body percussion), and inventing rhythmic patterns using classroom instruments such as wood blocks, triangles and tambourines. The imagination is stimulated, listening skills are developed, memory is enhanced, and children learn to discriminate musical sounds one from another, commenting on how they and others have created new musical ideas.
Later on this material becomes the basis for the teaching of the formal concepts associated with the reading and writing of music, while an ever-increasing body of new material can be consistently taught which feeds the imagination. This in turn produces new creative ideas from within the child.
A sequential and developmental programme for teaching children the identifiable phenomena associated with music through the voice prepares them for instrumental tuition. Fortunate is the teacher of a musical instrument who inherits a pupil already singing in tune, reading rhythm and pitch from staff notation, improvising in given styles, moving confidently to music, demonstrating an understanding of a wide range of musical concepts including harmony and musical form, and with a good background knowledge of recorded music. And all this at no extra cost to the parent!
These days we hear numerous claims made for the benefits of a structured music education on a child's capacity to learn. While these are true, and supported by strong empirical evidence, it has to be remembered that these benefits are bonuses and not reasons for teaching music to children. We teach music to children so that they might develop a lifelong association with – and a love of – music for its own sake. We teach music to children because music is good; music is unique; and music has a potent effect on the heart, mind, spirit, soul and imagination of a child, from out of whom can emerge wonderfully creative musical ideas in the form of improvisations and written compositions.
With all this, why wouldn't you teach children to sing? None of this is new information, of course. We just need Australian states to implement it universally. We could change many lives for the better!

One of the things that sets your writing apart is the strength of your writing – your ability to hook your readers with your story and make them identify with your character. The best way to do that is to show the story rather than telling it.
Two things stand in the way of "show, don't tell": adverbs and filter words.
Those pesky –ly words that work their way merrily into our sentences as we happily write on toward "the end." Early in my journey (which wasn't that long ago, actually), I heard someone say "an editor can tell how new an author is by counting the adverbs."
We love them, but most of the time they aren't necessary. Why?
Because they weaken our writing.
Example: Her eyes danced gaily.
First, it's a cliché. Second, it doesn't really show you much, either about the character with the dancing eyes or the person who saw them.
How about this instead? Her eyes snapped and sparkled in shared humor. Or What did she find so funny in that remark? Was she laughing at him?
Adverbs get in the way of deep point-of-view, of letting your characters connect with each other, and of connecting the reader to the story.
Of course, you can use them if there's no other way around it. Just don't use them all the time.
Filter words
"Filters are words or phrases you tack onto the start of a sentence that show the world as it is filtered through the main character's eyes." Susan Dennard of Pub(lishing) Crawl.
There's a list: felt, saw, heard, watched, realized …
Example: Garrett watched Trixie walk toward him, teetering on her high heels.
Why not: Trixie walked toward him, teetering on her high heels.
The whole reason for point of view is putting your reader into your character's head, letting them see what your character sees. Filter words weaken your writing because they weaken the emotion or the action – they remind the reader they aren't Garrett. That they're watching Garrett watch Trixie.
My crutch filter? tried to or tried not to.
Garrett tried not to laugh at Trixie's sparkly spandex outfit.
Okay, so we're giving Garrett the benefit of the doubt, and we're trying to make making him the nice guy. But, honestly? If he tried not to laugh – he laughed. He can hide it behind his hand. He can act like he's coughing to hide the derisive snort. He can stare at his feet and regain his composure. He do any number of things.
But if he's trying not to laugh – he's laughing. If he's trying to laugh – he's doing something other than laughing. And it's stronger writing if you can show what he's doing instead.
I know all of this is a basic skill, but sometimes it pays to exercise the basic muscles.
Happy Thanksgiving. Four whole days to read!

First, to register, add your height, weight, goal weight, and how many pounds you want to lose per week, or if you'd like to maintain your same weight. It provides you with really healthy weight loss options-- 1/2 lb, 1 lb, 1.5 lbs, or 2 lbs per week. Lose It is setting you up for success, because these are really attainable goals. Let's just say you want to lose 1 pound each week. Lose It will do all the calculations for you. They'll show you how many calories you should eat each day if you want to stick with that weight loss goal.
Next, you'll log what foods you've eaten each day. Some of you might be groaning right now, but with the ease of this app & our smartphones, it's a breeze. Thanks Lose It! They've got a ton of foods to choose from. Oh, & don't forget to add how much you ate. If you can't find a food within the app that you've eaten, just add it through "create a food".
Moving on, you'll log the type of exercise you did for the day. From bicycling to yoga to zumba, Lose It has it listed. You simply choose your exercise and log the amount of time you exercised. Now, I have noticed that when I cycle for 60 minutes I burn a different amount of calories than my mom does. This is normal, because we are a different weight. Don't be worried!
A great thing about this app is that it allows you to compare the calories burned from different exercises. You can look at how many cals you would burn during an hour on the elliptical versus an hour in a spin class. How many calories do you really need to burn today? What a great feature.
Another great feature on the app is you can friend others and motivate them. Message me on this site if you need a motivator! Also remember, if you "mess up" your healthy eating plan one day, it doesn't all go down the drain. Lose It reinforces that for me with the home screen reminder, "you are __ calories over/under budget". This is a great way to see if you've been exercising too much & need to eat more to fuel your body or if you've been snacking too much & need to focus on your calorie goals. You can register online at loseit.com.

Thanks to everyone who popped along to say hi over the three days! Sad to be home after being surrounded by so many inspiring people, and it will no doubt be the last time I visit Earls Court before it gets knocked down for development... I'm glad to have been a part of it!
