Concerts In The Park 2018
Watch some of South Africa's best-loved musicians. In a park. For free! With the sun out and summer in full swing, there are few better ways to spend an evening than under a tree listening to good live music. So, we were thrilled to hear that the annual summer concerts are back at this loved Cape Town venue. These free gigs are an opportunity for the whole family to unwind together over some great music and, even, a picnic. About De Waal Park: During the year, The City Council Parks Department in conjunction with Concerts In the Park (and to some extent the Friends of De Waal Park) work hard to keep the park looking its best year-round, so that when summer starts it is in spiffy condition for Capetonians from all over to enjoy these wonderful free musical get-togethers. Everyone is welcome – including your pets. So, pack a hamper, with a couple of bottles of vino, round up the familia, and head on down to the park.

Crime In Cape Town
Crime in Cape Town is on the increase and we urge you all to BE ALERT AT ALL TIMES. Cape Town is no different to any other city in the world, crime is a fact of life. Muggings, cellphone thefts, housebreak-ins, car thefts and break-ins happen every day.
The most important thing is to always be aware and not take chances. With the large number of unemployed people in the country crime is on the increase. All your houses are as safe and secure as we can make them, with burglar bars, safety gates, alarms etc. It is each and every one of your own responsibilities to be aware of your safety at all times. Lock doors behind you and close gates in the best interests of your own safety and that of your fellow housemates .Do not take chances, rather be safe than sorry. If you see someone suspicious telephone the police and report it.
If you are the recipient of any theft, break-in or any crime whatsoever, it must be reported to the police immediately. They can be contacted on South African police 10111 or emergency number on your landline 107 or on your cellphone 112.
Advice From South African Police Services (SAPS):
Reporting Tips In Order Of Importance:
- * Car Number Plates: Focus on letters, and first 3 numbers. Don't worry about all 6 numbers – accurate letters and first 3 numbers are all we need
- * Note the exact time on your cell and watch. This makes a HUGE difference to our workload
- * Vehicle Type: Make and colour is fine (e.g. Silver Merc)
- * Write it all down as quickly as possible, or enter onto your phone. Memories are often unreliable!
- * Contact your service provider/SAPS, and let us know by email.
Vehicle Safety Tips From ADT
Here are some useful vehicle safety tips received this week from ADT:
- * Travel with car doors locked and windows closed.
- * Constantly monitor vehicles travelling behind, ahead and next to you.
- * If you think you're being followed, drive to the nearest police station. Don't go home.
- * Leave room between your car and the one in front to avoid being boxed in.
- * Attract the attention of other drivers or pedestrians if you think you're in danger.
- * Hoot, flash your lights, put on your emergency lights, or shout.
- * Be aware of people approaching your car or loitering near traffic lights, stop signs, parking areas or your driveway.
- * If approached by a suspicious-looking person, especially at night or in deserted areas, drive off quickly from a stop street or intersection, always heeding traffic danger.
- * On long journeys only stop overnight at safe places. Stopping next to the road or in a parking area overnight is not safe.
- * Don't stop at the scene of an accident unless you're sure it's genuine.
- * Don't enter your garage or a parking area if you think you're being followed.
- * Don't stop if a passer-by indicates that, for example, you have a flat tyre or other defect. Drive to a service station or safe area and check it there.
- * Don't leave your car door open and the engine running while opening garages.
Water Is Precious – Stage 3 Started On 01 January 2017
Our water shortage is now critical and water restrictions has now been approved. "South Africa is enduring its worst drought in 23 years and as such, our water supply is under heavy strain."
Our water is expensive, please save water as each one of us can help towards water conservation

Trust me, I understand. I don't have the time, either. Running my small business takes a full day, every day, just like yours does. But if you rely on sales or leads from the web, from search engines, from people searching for local businesses, you need a blog on your website.
For many, if not all, small businesses, serving your customers is job one, and finding time to promote your business is difficult. Far too often, we find ourselves so wrapped up in production, we lose sight of some of the necessary, and more fun, aspects of running a business. Marketing is one of those pieces of the time puzzle that doesn't always fit.

Copper Lake offers amazing mountain scenery and a chance to set up camp with some solitude. Although this is a stop for folks heading to Conundrum Hot Springs, you can still find a quiet spot to yourself.
Looking for a wildflower hike, we decided on Copper Lake in the Maroon Bells Wilderness as a place to base camp for 4 nights. It is 5 miles from the Trailhead, which is off Gothic Road above Crested Butte (2WD Accessible).
Copper Lake is this beautiful alpine lake, situated right at treeline, with several established campsites. This is apparently a popular stop on the way to Conundrum Hot Springs, so we did have hikers at the other campsites as well, but it was far from crowded. The hike itself is fairly easy, aside from about the last mile, which gets pretty steep!
Copper Lake is also situated near several trails, so we had some great options for dayhikes. Now, many "hardcore" backpackers will do a loop where you pack up your tent every day and move sites, but I have to say, I'm a big fan of the basecamp trip, and this was the perfect location to come home to each night!
On your first day, hike over East Maroon Pass, to East Maroon Creek. Start off on a ledge trail up above Copper Lake and immediately you'll enter into fields of gorgeous wildflowers.
The next day, hike back the way you came in, just a bit, to the Triangle Pass Trail. This is the longest hike of the trip, and features the most breathtaking scenery as well.
For more details, see my longer blog post.

11 food-conscious friends and I are looking for the right place for some good, modern creole food (ie. not the old guard places) that will be a fun, unpretentious place to be, have worthwhile cuisine, and not out-of-sight pricey. My first thought was an obvious one, Jacque Imo's, but I get the impression that maybe it's slipped since I was last there.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Last night I attended a presentation entitled "Listening to Children's Wisdom". The presenter is a Buddhist nun, Didi Ananda Uttama. The general message of the presentation was that parents are not the only ones who bring something to the parent-child relationship. The child also has a significant contribution. Her belief is that the child is still more in tune with its spiritual nature and, because of this, willingly offers unconditional love to the parent. By recognizing and accepting that love, parents can relearn its meaning in their lives. It is the parent who needs to find that understanding and build on that connection in forming a relationship with the child. The infant offers it openly and freely. She went on to suggest that children submerge that spirituality as they grow older (hence, why parents need to relearn it). As a result, conscious effort needs to be given to maintaining that open, loving connection that is present in the infant and the parents in the first months throughout the relationship.
Didi went on to say that in her belief system, the child chooses to be born to the particular parents. The match is made, again, by both and not just the parents. Therefore, the child is where it is supposed to be and the parent does what he or she is supposed to do. This is to say that some of the choices you think you make, such as the type of birth experience you have and if you breastfeed or not, are somehow guided by the needs of your child as well as of you. She is collecting stories of mother's experiences where their children gave them a sign or taught them spiritual lessons. I hope I got the gist of her message. The attendees were mostly young mothers and proceeded to give her stories about their children at that point.
I have to agree that the infant contributes to the infant parent relationship. Each child is born with a unique personality and a unique set of sensitivities. Whether these are genetic or from the experiences during the 9 months in the uterus or, as in many eastern spiritual ideas, the result of previous life experiences is not for me to say. It is true that from day 1, possibly before, the baby brings its own personality to the relationship. Babies are NOT blobs of clay to be molded in the image the parent chooses. As parents, we must reconcile our image of what we expect to be with the real (and certainly more beautiful) infant that we meet after birth. Babies do give us unconditional love but we also need to make the adjustments to our personalities to meet the new person halfway. Most of us do this through our daily interactions in caring for the physical needs of the baby, feeding, cleaning, calming and entertaining. We are constantly learning from our baby and adjusting ourselves if we are listening to them, Babies are constantly learning from us as well. It is a give and take relationship throughout life and one we must nurture.

Reverse DNS
What is reverse DNS
Well, forward DNS resolution is where a name is resolved into an IP address. Reverse DNS resolution works the other way - it's where an IP address is resolved to a name.
How does reverse DNS work
The DNS client constructs a name by adding each octet of the IP address in reverse order, followed by .in-addr.arpa. For example, if you were performing a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address 192.0.2.19, the DNS client would turn it into 22.214.171.124.in-addr.arpa and then perform a DNS lookup.
Like all DNS lookups (assuming that these DNS entries haven't already been cached), your DNS client will start with the root DNS servers of the internet. The starting point would normally be asking the root server who is responsible for the "arpa" zone, then "in-addr.arpa", then "192.in-addr.arpa" etc. The root servers however, already seem to know who is responsible for all of the ".in-addr.arpa" zones for each of the first octets. This obviously saves look ups.
The root server will return a list of name servers that are authoritive for the entire 192.*.*.* address range. The DNS client will then pick one of these name servers and ask it to resolve 0.192.in-addr.arpa, and so on, until we get a PTR record for 184.108.40.206.in-addr.arpa. The DNS resolution stops at the pointer record and this is the reverse DNS entry.
How do I configure a reverse DNS entry
Control of reverse DNS entries belong to the owner of the IP address, not the owner of the domain name.
In most cases, you will need to contact your ISP and ask them to configure it for you - assuming the IP address is dedicated for your use. If you are an ISP, or you have been allocated a whole Class C of IP addresses, then you should have the ability to configure the reverse DNS entries on your own DNS server. The organisation that provided your IP addresses will be able to delegate control of that Class C of addresses to your DNS server.
Default Reverse DNS Entry
If you have a static IP address, what you get by default will depend on your ISP. Some ISP's don't provide reverse DNS entries by default. Some ISP's default reverse DNS entries to something like:
If you don't have a reverse DNS entry for the IP address that your email comes from, you may find that you'll have problems with SPAM software rejecting your email.
What is Reverse DNS used by
Many things use reverse DNS. An example is anti-spam email software. Before delivering an email, it is common for anti-spam software to perform a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address of the source mail server. It then checks that the reverse DNS entry matches the SPF record provided by the name server of the source email domain. If it does not match, it may flag the email as spam.

Apparently it was a good year for garlic. I hadn't really noticed, but the numbers got my attention. Last year I planted 2.5kg of seed and saw a 460% return on that investment.
This year I planted that same quantity and reaped a 776% return. The bulbs were not as spectacularly large like they were last year, but there sure was a lot of them. Here's to another hot dry summer next year. The onions were large and plentiful too, but hot as Hades.
The gardens are tilled and looking rich as another growing season closes.

Text: Mark 7:14-23 W 13th Sunday after Pentecost
Everybody's Got a Hungry Heart
In the name of him whose Words fill us with light and life, dear friends in Christ: the Gospel reading for today is a continuation of the lesson we heard last week. And because the comments Jesus makes hang on what has come before, it will be helpful to review briefly. What happened was that some Pharisees observed the disciples of Jesus eating a meal with what they called "unwashed hands". And please don't misunderstand. We're not talking about a lack of basic personal hygiene here. I'm sure that the hands of the disciples were relatively free of dirt. No, the grave offense to which the Pharisees were objecting was that the disciples had apparently not performed a certain ceremony of ritual cleansing before they dined. This ceremony was a tradition the Pharisees had developed over time that had pretty well passed into common usage among their fellow Jews – at least among those who considered themselves to be actively practicing the faith. The idea behind the tradition was that the Lord gave the priests of Israel certain instructions about ritual cleansings that they were to do as a part of leading of public worship. The Lord gave these instructions for illustrative purposes: they pictured for the worshippers how the Lord cleanses his people from sin and makes them holy.
Ah, but the Pharisees thought of the ritual washings as something more than that – specifically that the mere mechanical performance of these rituals actually made people and things righteous in the sight of God. And they reasoned that if the Lord wanted washings to be done in public worship as a way to sanctify the proceedings, why then, how much more holy and righteous would their own lives be if they applied the same sort of washings to their daily routines. It was typical of the Pharisees' way of thinking: that holiness of life consists in the outward performance of rituals – and the more you do, the more holy you are. It's the same thinking that drives the faith of Islam, and unfortunately that always seeks to infiltrate the Church. It places the focus on what I do to make myself righteous rather than on what God is doing to cleanse me from sin.
But like I said, most of the Jewish faithful were following these hand washing rituals. They thought of them as a God-pleasing thing to do. And so when the Pharisees saw Jesus' disciples disregarding these supposedly sacred traditions, it seemed to be an egregious breach of propriety. It was for them a "gotcha moment" – a way to discredit Jesus. They thought, "What a lousy religious teacher he is that his disciples don't even know not to defile themselves by eating with unclean hands. What is that foolish man teaching them if he can't even get the fundamentals down right?"
In response to their attack, Jesus told them that their silly man-made traditions had nothing to do with making anyone truly righteous before the Lord. He said, you think to honor God with all your rigmarole and ceremony; but it's all an empty show. You're hypocrites. You make up your own rules and then pat yourself on the back for keeping them; but your hearts are far from God and what is true righteousness. In fact, some of your traditions even go against the commandments of God.
It's at this point, then, that Jesus addresses the crowd telling them that nothing going into a person can defile him; rather it's what comes out of a person that causes defilement. Now, this statement would have been something of a stumper to them. After all, it was widely believed that not performing the ritual washings before a meal – that is, to eat with unwashed hands – made a person unclean in the sight of God. Jesus had refuted that; but even if he was right about that not making a difference, you still had the Jewish dietary laws to contend with. Remember that when the Lord handed down the Law to Moses, he had declared a number of food items off limits for his people. Pork, shellfish, certain kinds of birds and other animals, these were all labeled unclean. They were not to be consumed. And this wasn't just a tradition of the Pharisees. This was the Law of God. So how could Jesus say that nothing going into a person could defile him? It seemed only logical that if you ate food that the Lord declared to be unclean, then you'd be made unclean by consuming it. Jesus flatly denies it.
How can that be? Well, to help us understand it needs to be pointed out that the dietary restrictions the Lord gave his people belong to the category of ceremonial laws. They have nothing to do with the moral law; that is, basic questions of right and wrong. Nor were they given, as some have supposed, primarily for health reasons. Yes, I know that undercooked pork can cause problems – but so can just about any other kind of meat if it's not cooked properly. No, the dietary restrictions were, sort of like the ritual washings, given for illustrative purposes. The idea was that God's people were on a restricted diet not just of food; but more importantly of spiritual food. They were to avoid unclean food as a way of showing how they were to limit what they allowed themselves to ingest in terms of the teachings of the pagans and their gods. They were to abstain from all that false religion and feed their souls only with God's Word – the Bread of Life.
And the dietary restrictions served yet another purpose: they helped keep God's people physically separate from their idol worshipping Gentile neighbors. I mean, it's hard to assimilate if you have to keep Kosher. It's like what happens when someone's son or daughter marries a vegan, which is not, as you might have guessed, a space alien from another planet; rather it's someone whose self imposed diet suggests they're from another planet. A strict vegan eats only things derived from plants. No animal products are allowed. So it's not just meat that's off limits, it's also eggs, milk, cheese, butter, ice cream—all that, along with anything else that might have been cooked with animal fat or in animal stock or with any animal byproduct or derivative. The point is that it's awfully hard to sit down and eat with such a person. Say you're having Thanksgiving at your place. All the extended family's there. And you've prepared the classics: Turkey with the traditional trimmings: giblet gravy, corn bread stuffing with sausage; there's corn slathered in butter and cream, and green beans swimming in that goo they make with chicken stock based mushroom soup and those little fat fried crunchy onions on top. There's pretty much nothing on the table your vegan son or daughter-in-law can eat. Ah, but you've thought of that. You pass them a nice bowl of steamed Brussels sprouts that you've painstakingly kept away from every molecule that might have come from an animal just so they wouldn't feel left out and could eat something with you. And the person looks them over suspiciously and asks, "Do you know if these were raised organically? I can only eat organic produce." Realizing that they're not going to eat the Brussels sprouts, it's at that point you suggest an alternative for what they might do with them. It all ends rather badly. So then the next year, to avoid the same sort of conflict arising again, the vegan family member suggests you come to their place for Thanksgiving. And maybe you do—once. But after that you know better. Tofu and bulgur casserole washed down with organic alfalfa sprout juice makes for a rather unsatisfying Thanksgiving meal. It's something you dare not expose yourself to twice. It finally dawns on you that there's no way in the world you are ever going to enjoy a meal with this person, so you give up.
It was the same thing for the Jews in the ancient world. They couldn't eat with their pagan neighbors – and especially back then if you couldn't eat with someone, you couldn't live with them. So the dietary restrictions kept God's people apart and helped preserve their national identity even when they were scattered as exiles among the nations. It was God's way of preserving his people – and more importantly preserving the lineage that would lead to the birth of his Son, Jesus Christ—the heir to the throne of David. You'll notice that the dietary restrictions were all lifted in the New Testament period. By then it was no longer necessary to preserve the line to the Savior; he was already born. And at that point the Lord didn't want to keep his people apart; he wanted them to be able go into all the world sharing the good news. To do that, they had to be able to mingle freely and break bread with Gentiles – so he cancelled the dietary laws.
But the Pharisees, the people in general, and even the disciples of Jesus did not yet understand any of that. They were locked into a mode of thinking that said: You are what you eat. If you eat unclean (whether with unclean hands or unclean food) you are unclean. And you see what they were doing was misdiagnosing the problem of the human condition. They thought of it as being a matter of the stomach. Eat right and be righteous. It was easy. Jesus – and you can practically feel his frustration as he spells it out for his disciples – says, "Don't you guys get it? It doesn't matter what or how you eat. All that is external. Food comes in and it passes out. It doesn't change who and what you are. It doesn't affect your standing before God. Your problem is internal. It's what's in your heart, not your stomach, that makes you unclean. It what the heart spews forth: the lies, the lusts, the hatred, the greed – it's all that nasty stuff coming out that makes you unclean.
And I suspect that to most of us this is rather obvious. We are much less likely to be wrapped up in the notion that how or what you eat has anything to do with your spiritual condition – although it does sometimes crop up among Christians. Where we are more likely to be taken in, however, is in the idea that righteousness is an external thing. It's in how one behaves and acts rather than in how one thinks and feels. We think, as long as I behave correctly and do what's right my thoughts and motives do not matter. In fact, we're likely to congratulate ourselves and count ourselves righteous for not acting on our evil impulses. Say you're dealing with a particularly disagreeable person, someone who's insulted you or caused you some kind of financial loss. You'd really like to throttle them, or give them a piece of your mind – both barrels, as it were. But you don't. You hold yourself in check and fume inwardly while outwardly you're as polite as punch to them. Would it ever occur to you to repent of the ill will you have toward that person – or would you be more likely to think, "The good Lord must be pleased with me for the way I handled that one." And a week later, when you hear that some minor tragedy has struck the person in question – would it ever occur to you to repent of the wave of satisfaction you feel thinking to yourself, "Ha! He got what he had coming." How would you feel if the Lord gave you what you have coming?
Although the fruit of sin is seen in outward acts, its root is deep inside the heart. And even if the fruit is never seen due to your extraordinary exercise of self-control, the darkness within remains. In fact, it can be even worse for you spiritually if you do keep it hidden inside because then you're more likely to deceive yourself into thinking how good you are for having done so. Remember it was the self righteous Pharisees who had a harder time coming to Christ than the notorious public sinners.
In today's Gospel, Jesus puts his finger on your problem. It's your heart. That's what's unclean. Or, borrowing this theme of food and diet that permeates today's reading, you might say that it's your heart that's hungry. It made me think of that song by Bruce Springsteen in which he sings in the refrain, "Everybody's got a hungry heart." I'm sure you've heard it; but I wonder if you know the lyrics. I didn't, so I looked them up. It's really a pathetic piece. A guy's in a bar trying to meet someone new. He has a wife and kids that he abandoned, apparently because he couldn't handle the pressures of being a husband and father. He met his wife in this same bar several years back. And now, after having left her, he feels lonely. So now he's back trying to find someone else to fill the void in his hungry heart. That's pretty much all there is to it; but what strikes me is how totally self absorbed the guy is. It's all about him. It's all about meeting his needs. Who cares about the aching holes in the hearts of those he left behind? Not him. And what will he do when this next person he finds fails to satisfy the hungers of his heart? Will he abandon her too?
I've never thought of Bruce Springsteen as much of a theologian; but I think Jesus would agree with him on this point at least: Everybody's got a hungry heart. We are by nature takers, not givers. Everything is always about me – about me being happy, about me getting what I want, about me convincing myself that I'm a good and decent person. And in this way the human heart is like a black hole in space. It's a great analogy because, as you probably know, a black hole isn't a hole at all. It's a collapsed star that's so dense that a pea sized piece of it would weigh more than our entire planet. It generates an incredibly powerful gravitational field that sucks all surrounding matter into it. The pull of its gravity is so strong that it bends the light the star generates back into itself. Nothing escapes. So all that is seen is darkness; and all that's felt is the relentless pull its unappeasable appetite. The more it takes in, the harder it pulls on everything else. It's never satisfied. Such is the sinful heart of each one of us – even if outwardly we pretend it isn't so. Even if outwardly we shine with what appears to be the light of good deeds and polite behavior. They are nothing of the kind, for what lies behind them are false pretenses and evil, self-serving or self-justifying motives. They are in fact dark deeds and defiled behavior that lead to eternal death.
There's only one thing that can truly satisfy our hungry hearts, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ and his righteousness. But he can only enter and fill our hearts when we see them for what they are: desperately unclean and insatiably self-centered. When we recognize that we will relinquish any and every claim we have to self-generated goodness and we will turn from what we are with disgust and loathing. Then in repentance we will reach out for the cleansing and restoration that only Christ can give. We will hunger and thirst for his righteousness and the forgiveness that he purchased with his own blood on the cross when he died for our sin.
And, as he has promised, he will fill our hungry hearts with himself, with his truth, and with his love. And then something truly amazing will happen. The light of Christ will shine outward from us. These black holes will become increasingly bright stars, shining forth not the false light of our imagined goodness, but the genuine article. It will be the bright light of the Lord Jesus Christ using us as the members of his body to love and sacrificially serve our neighbors – just as he loves and serves us. Today and every day, may he so satisfy our hungry hearts, that we may shine forth with the brightness of his glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Soli Deo Gloria!

Education Specialist Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Education Specialist: Deaf and Hard of Hearing Teacher Preparation Program and MS Degree in Education - (Intern option available)
The Education Specialist Program in Deaf and Hard of Hearing at Mount Saint Mary's University is founded on four principles: passion, excellence, respect, and leadership. We have high expectations for our graduate candidates, who have become published authors, state coordinators, program directors, and teacher-leaders at their school sites.
The DHH program offers two options: a one-year Onsite Program for full-time graduate candidates, and a two-year Distance Learning/Intern Program for teachers working with children with hearing loss as the teacher of record. Both options are offered as a professional school development model in partnership with John Tracy Clinic in Los Angeles, where graduate candidates are immersed in the daily programs provided to families and their children with hearing loss. School partners in the community provide fieldwork and practicum sites that broaden candidates' experiences in a variety of educational settings.
The Preliminary Program is combined with the MS degree, and is based on the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP's). The program includes special education courses and field experiences in a variety of settings, including parent infant, special day class, auditory-verbal therapy, teletherapy, inclusion, mainstream, itinerant, parent education, parent support groups, international/global perspectives. All coursework is grounded in the educational and developmental domains of children who are developing typically and children with hearing loss, as well as children with additional or multiple challenges (e.g., autism spectrum disorders, orthopedic handicaps, specific language and speech disorders, English language learners, etc.) . The philosophy of the program focuses on the technology and science that allow children with hearing loss to develop listening and spoken language. Principles in family-centered support and transdisciplinary practice are emphasized throughout the program. Perspectives from various professional fields are integrated into all coursework and fieldwork (e.g., occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech language therapy, audiology, marriage and family therapy).
Courses in theory and practice are paired at various age/grade levels (parent-infant, preschool, elementary, learners aged 5-22), and in various content courses (audiology, language, speech, listening, child development, parent coaching). Courses are sequenced as a spiral curriculum, allowing graduate candidates to begin early fieldwork through intensive mentoring, and eventually deepening their knowledge, skills, and dispositions to be teaching independently.
The following coursework has been carefully planned to provide multiple opportunities to meet the state requirements for the Education Specialist Preliminary Credential. Please contact the DHH Graduate Program, John Tracy Clinic partnership Program Director, Bridget Scott-Weich, for additional information at 213-863-9984.
The MSMU Education Specialist Program Director, Dr. Diana Taylor, oversees the partnership between John Tracy Clinic and Mount Saint Mary's University and can also be contacted at any time with questions at 213-477-2627.

Glutton for Punishment?
Strength isn't always easy to see.
As I sit here about to embark on another foray up to the house my ex-husband and I bought together to put it on the market again, and this time it will be to take a loss on it, I'm left thinking of our 12 years together.
Ours didn't start out as a horrible union. The circumstances of life caused us to grow in two different directions, which led to the armed truce that is in place currently. If there weren't children involved, we would have gladly gone our separate ways without further contact, more than likely to never cross paths again.
The marriage disintegrated slowly over time, to the point where I almost ended up taking my life, due to the almost daily verbal assault on everything about me. I'm no angel, but I could never bring myself to fight back as dirty as he was doing. It's not who I am as a person, it's not how I was raised.
I am still nice to my ex-husband, I allow him to come and see our kids any time he wishes, I allow him to use my computer and other things since he doesn't have them at his house, due to being out in the middle of nowhere, and I guess for lack of a better word, being friendly.
All around me, friends and loved ones, get angry with me because I do this. They say why are you so nice to him after the way he has treated you? They tell me I should be just as mean, he doesn't deserve your kindness. Over and over, I get various statements along those same lines. I know my friends and family care about me, and it frustrates them that I still allow my ex-husband in my life on any sort of basis after what I've been put through, but I just can't be mean to him, or anyone actually.
This morning as I was doing some little things about the house, I let my mind wander through the myriad of thoughts that have taken up residence in my brain. It dawned on me that even though my friends may think I'm being a glutton for punishment, because the ex will still say mean things sometimes and will still try to control what I say or do. Sometimes maybe I am, but they all seem to forget that when I've had enough from anyone, I will say something to end the transgression.
I got to thinking about the values all who are Christian are raised with, for example, turn the other cheek, forgive those who trespass against you, even your enemies deserve kindness, treat others as you would want to be treated, and so on and so forth, and I realized I'm doing those things to everyone no matter who they are. But because I'm doing those things, I'm the one in the wrong and I get what I deserve? I know that Christ didn't condone abuse and violence, which I'm not accepting anymore, I will tell the ex to leave or I will end the conversation once things cross that line.
Maybe I am a glutton for punishment, but to me, those thought processes are all subjective and in the eye of the beholder. We all have our own tolerance levels, our own thoughts on what constitutes being a good person, and how we are to achieve that goal. I can't be cruel to someone, even though they have been cruel to me. It is one of the things my dad told me he had always worried about me. That because I am such a gentle person that the world is going to chew me up and make me bitter. Daddy said he then later realized after seeing some of the things I went through and how I dealt with those things, that the strength I have comes from that place of gentleness, and he had seen that I know when I've had enough and I will stand up for myself and those I love without a care of the consequences. Something else he said I needed to watch out for and that I needed to learn balance. I'm still working on that balance part. But I'm learning to not be afraid of saying no, and that my limits have moved closer so that in the end, I don't get hurt as easily.
For me, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that everything that happens, whether good or bad, does so for a reason, to teach me something I need to know. The reason is not always immediately revealed, and sometimes there are a series of things that I have had to go through to know the whys. But each time I've discovered the reason or what I think is the reason, I've felt blessed at the revelation. So I know there is a reason. One day the reasons will be revealed and if I don't get it, I will have to repeat the lessons, not something I want to do in this case, so I'm paying attention fully. In the end it will all work out as it should.
You are soooo right! I will agree with your last comment 110%!!! Some folk will take your civil and decent ways for granted and sure nuff (as I can only speak on my behalf) that's not a good lOOk, but folk will tend to push the limits as though they are a glutton seeking punishment. In any case I enjoyed chattin wit ya as well...CiaO
This may be so...... but In all essence how many times should you speak to the same person about the same thing. I hope you do not think that I was trying to change your thinking, I am just speaking my peace btw I do believe this is a perfect world, but people's attitudes, the chips that's edged into their shoulder and that need to obtain things that they may never possess makes it extrememly imperfect. I swear....anywho, nevermind!
I highly agree with Vonda, other than that Great Hub, and keep up the good work! :)
Hmmm.... I respect as well as understand everything that you are saying, I really do but I made the choice to comment on this because I see that you are extending the hurt that you choose to entertain in the name of ?!?!? to those that truly care and love (respect) you. I don't necessarily believe you should be mean in return, but as you said you have your own level of tolerance in addition to practicing whatever you choose to believe. Being a glutton for punishment does nothing more than allow you to be tolerant when concerning receiving whatever "punishment" in its severity without complaint. I believe anyone that is kind and deserving, deserves all that is kind and deserving, whether you choose to believe something else.

Today is an absolutely gorgeous day. Sunny and 84 degrees which is how I'd like every summer day to be. Mid 80's, not too hot and not too cold. Shorts and flips and hold the rain please!
Congrats to the San Antonio Spurs on their NBA Championship and to the Los Angeles Kings on their NHL Championship. Both teams played extremely well in their respective finals and simply outplayed their opponents.
Legendary San Diego Padre Tony Gwynn passed away today. He amassed over 3100 career hits and won 8 batting titles to become the greatest hitter of my generation.
A big kudos to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz and Arizona State President Michael Crow. In a combined effort to keep tuition costs reasonable and education accessible, Starbucks will give free junior and senior year tuition to any Starbucks employee working at least 20 hours a week. It can all be completed online. It's nice to see a CEO care about employees for a change instead of just making lip service.
The stock market is staying fairly stable through this Iraq turmoil despite the media trying to bring it down with their gloom and doom talk. It's by design not an accident. A lot of these talking heads make out very well if they can create a mini-panic and buy your shares cheap!
Apparently Key West has a big time burglary ring working the area. No, it's not cars or home burglaries. It's on the docks and people are stealing yellowtail snapper off commercial fishing boats. Sometimes, when the loading docks are packed captain's will keep their catch overnight and unload the next morning. Burglars are sneaking onto boats in the midnight hour and pilfering buckets of snapper. On the black market a bucket will fetch at least $20 but it's worth four times more. It's the signature dish at Blue Heaven my favorite restaurant. I hope the authorities bust these guys soon. The local fisherman there are truly legendary!

There is nothing like a good soldier homecoming surprise to make the waterworks start flowing. And with the troops officially slated to come home in the droves from Iraq this month, there's room for enough of them to keep the folks at Kleenex working round-the-clock for the next year. But the best surprise I've seen yet came with a little twist.
Instead of Army Sergeant Kristy Sexton getting to do all the surprising, she got one herself! Her entire house -- where she lives with her kids, mom, and Vietnam vet dad -- was decked out in Christmas lights by a group of elves just in time for her to return home from duty in Afghanistan. Cue the waterworks!
By teaming up with Forgotten Soldiers Outreach every year to make sure one soldier has a bright Christmas, the folks at Florida Power & Light don't just make a merry display and put smiles on a soldier's face. They also save her (or him) time they'd use decorating so it can be spent doing fun things with their families. As cool as the holiday light shows dedicated to our troops are, I think projects like this might be even cooler!
The thing is, a soldier's R&R time is valuable in a different way from the average worker who is taking a few days around the holidays to meet up with the family this season. Sexton has just two weeks to spend at home with her parents and her two little boys, Kyle and Kris, before she has to return to duty. You and I might be able to swing another weekend in a month or two to meet up with the fam; she will be in Germany after two tours in Afghanistan.
Soldiers deserve to spend that time making up for all the time they lose with their families. Krissy already used it to surprise her kids at school to boost them for a trip Universal Studios for some mommy/son bonding time.
Do you know a soldier coming home for a break? What can you do to make sure they get the maximum out of their short time home with their family?

Buttercups!!! I do miss them sort of. Up home as a child, I used to be able to run barefoot thru Buttercup fields. And carry to my Mom, limp handfulls. To her they were roses.
- Ontario Wanderer said...
The curled leaf in the first photo is wonderful indeed! Thanks for the Frost poem. That's the kind of frost I like! (I am almost afraid to check the newly planted garden this morning as it looks a bit white out the east window.)
- pablo said...
Gold is creeping into my forest too. It will be the dominant color of the flowers for most of the summer in Missouri. Nice pix!
- Tongue in Cheek Antiques said...
I love how the blue in the background brings out the yellow of the flowers! Wow!
- Pam in Tucson said...
Buttercups? I remember as children we held them under each others' chins to see the golden reflection. A perfect poem to illustrate these lovely golden photos.
- Endment said...

There are a few on-screen mums who truly stand the test of time, so we've gone through the WB vault in search of those all important personality traits that some of our favourites share. After all, there's a lot that goes into being a great mum, so what if you could choose the best bits from some of the most iconic maternal characters? See if you agree with our list...
There's nothing that makes a mum more memorable than a good sense of humour, and The House's Kate (Amy Poehler) epitomises the hilarious mum. When they decide to start an illegal casino in their home in order to afford their daughter's college tuition, Kate and husband Scott (Will Ferrell) get into some pretty crazy scenarios. They're impossible not to laugh your way through, yet at the heart of it all is the couple's commitment to their daughter.
Work ethic
Whether staying at home to raise the kids or heading back to the corporate world, the best on-screen mums are incredibly hard working. Anne Hathaway takes on the role of Jules in The Intern – a character so dedicated to her job that she's single-handedly built an entire e-commerce fashion start-up. She's a mum who's juggling a lot, but with a little help from new intern Ben (Robert De Niro), she manages to stay on top while still being a fantastic role model to her daughter.
Selflessness is one of the main qualities of any mum, and that stays true for on-screen portrayals. In Blended, divorcee Lauren (Drew Barrymore) knows better than anyone what it's like to raise a family on her own and demonstrates an unwavering commitment to putting her kids before herself. When she goes on an all-expenses-paid trip to Africa with her family and bumps into disastrous ex-date Jim (Adam Sandler), she finally realises that it's okay to let people in and take help when needed.
There's no better example of a loving on-screen mother than Molly Weasley (Julie Walters) in the Harry Potter franchise. Not only was she a caring mum to her own family, but she takes Harry in and treats him as her own. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Molly's love for her family sees her take on the infamous Bellatrix Lastrange (Helena Bonham Carter), proving love and kindness are never a sign of weakness.
Based on the best-selling novel, Everything, Everything follows 18-year-old Madeline (Amandla Stenberg), whose debilitating illness means she can't leave the confines of her house. Her mum Pauline (Anika Noni Rose) is focussed on keeping her healthy and protecting her from the germs outside, even if it means keeping her away from boy next-door Ollie (Nick Robinson). Despite the ups and downs that ensue, Pauline's motivation is only ever keeping her daughter safe.
Jennifer Aniston's character Sarah in We're The Millers may not be a real mum, but she certainly proves herself to be a great stand-in. Sarah is dedicated to her pretend children and family, as they play dress-up to get across the border in order to smuggle drugs into the country. They might start off as strangers thrown together to make a little cash, but Sarah takes her responsibility seriously and shows strong loyalty when things turn sour.
Leigh Anne Tuohy from The Blind Side is an inspiration to us all. Based on a true story, Leigh Anne (Sandra Bullock) takes in homeless teen Michael (Quinton Aaron), who's been in and out of the school system for years. She's determined to give this young man a better life and for him to excel in both school and sport. Through her support and deciation, he gets accepted into several universities on a full-ride American football scholarship.
Do you agree with our perfect on-screen mum list? Who would you add?

You know what they say, renovation is a big hassle. Your house renovation almost always gets delayed, and your budget almost always bursts. Contractors are difficult to work with. They take advantage. And many more. Whilst these things aren't always true, there are a few things that you could do to protect yourself – and help you get the dream home you want.
1. Ask for Itemized Bills
It's always easy to settle for single lump sum bills or notes for your renovation project. When the overall figure fits within your budget, it's easy to get carried away and ignore the individual costs of each item making up the bill. Don't.
Ask for an itemized bill or a breakdown. In Malaysia, it's called a Bill of Quantities, and sets out the work that your contractor will carry out together with its corresponding unit prices. This helps a lot in understanding what you're paying for, and also what you shouldn't be paying for. For example, if you didn't have the prices broken down, you wouldn't have a way of knowing how much less you should be paying if you decided not to proceed with the flooring works in your bedroom.
Itemized bills are also very useful in helping you compare prices between different contractors.
2. Get Rough Estimated of Pricing
For the sake of flexibility, many renovation, landscaping, electrical and other contractors like giving rough estimates of their prices, with a promise to remeasure the actual quantities of work done on completion. This isn't a bad thing, and is often a good way to keep things fair for both parties – you pay for whatever work the contractor does, upon measurement.
3. Keep Things Black & White
You may not be a lawyer. But that's no excuse for not putting the important stuff down on paper – especially if you don't want to end up having to see a lawyer because of your renovation project. You can leave the legal jargon out. But put the essential details in writing – scope of work, price, time for completion, warranties, insurances and permits to name a few. And if you need advice from experienced industry players, head over to established websites like us, where great content and advice on all things interior design and home related can be found.
4. Knowing Your Contractor
Getting to know your contractor helps a great deal. Although the number of years in business is not conclusive, an established contractor is likely to have a network of subcontractors and suppliers to support him for work and supplies to meet your deadlines. This also means he has a reputation to uphold, and is generally a safer bet. Ask for a business card, business details and references if necessary.
5. Constant Communication
Keep the communication lines with your contractor open. Most of the time, it's just a matter of approach and they're often very willing to address any concerns you may have. Construction and renovation is a tough business in Malaysia, and the small gestures often make a big difference. Communication is key and goes a long way.
That's where kaodim strives to provide value. It isn't just about prices. It's about quality, convenience, more choices, better decisions and an avenue for both parties to communicate quickly and easily. Visit www.kaodim.com and see the difference it can make for yourself today.

B.A.=post rock. (0)
00:06 by Buenos Aires, live music, post-rock, under
As I sat in front of the Obelisco this afternoon waiting for a friend it struck me that post-rock is as good a soundtrack to this manic city as any. I don't know if anyone has seen the film Baraka? (We watch it every week in my Geographia Generál class.) Well, it has really epic soundtrack and I recall shots of ant like people crossing huge roads (Tokyo, New York) B.A. today was just like the film: huge swathes of ants criss-crossing the suitably epic Avenida 9 de Julio. I sat and watched accompanied by my first BA Post-Rock discovery, Go Neko!
(Mamushka Dogs are on that shit - download Go Neko! heeere!!)
Undoubteldly influenced by the likes of Mogwai, GYBE etc (aren't they all?) I have to say it aint too bad! Looking forward to catching them live if possible, Post-Rock, if its good, is always more impressive live. This brings me to another little chip which weighs heavily on BsAs's shoulder. Since the Cromagnon fire some five years ago, in which 194 people died, the city's live music/part/club night scene has been incredibly stiffled. The sheer costs and red-tape associated with organising an event puts off your average indie-kid or your underground rave organiser. Paying the police, security and endless regulations. (I am not saying that these are not in place for a reason; safety matters, but could a reasonable agreement not be reached?)
A friend was telling me that around 2004 many bands just gave up and an upcoming scene was killed off in a matter of weeks. There was insufficient support from the government and the costs of putting on shows quickly made it impossible for independent promoters to get a foothold without considerable backing.
These conditions are smothering what could and SHOULD be a flourishing scene. Man, this city has 12million people! The diversity must be incredible. It should be a hot-spot of culture, experimentation and freedom. Granted it is a hugely cultural city (theatre, cinema, festivals, events) but I am yet to witness something really fresh and underground (maybe it is just a case of knowing where and when?) It is time for things to change. There are people who want it and who see what is happening in cities like New York or London. Granted this is Latin America and it is not, economically, on the same scale, but BA has potential, so much potential!

The man charged with shoving another man in front of a subway train near Rockefeller Center in New York City on Monday grew up in Beaver County.
The suspect has been identified as 30-year-old Naeem Davis, who apparently was living on the streets. He has been charged with second-degree murder and depraved indifference in the death of 58-year-old Ki-Suk Han of Queens.
Davis is accused of pushing Han onto the tracks at the Times Square station during an argument and then watching as the train fatally struck Han.
According to The New York Post, Davis had eight previous arrests in New York City. Online court records show he also had numerous charges in Beaver County.
Davis was listed as living at 1300 Ninth Ave. in Beaver Falls when he was arrested in September 2002 for stealing three laptops from Beaver Falls police cars. He pleaded guilty to a theft charge and was given one year�s probation, according to online court records.
His address was listed as 6504 Tuscarawas Road, Ohioville, in January 2003 when he was charged with stealing a purse from a car that was parked near a neighbor�s home. He pleaded guilty to theft and was sentenced to one to two years in jail for this incident, according to court records.
Davis is the foster son of Jim and Ruth Scialabba of New Brighton. The Scialabbas adopted and fostered children, most of whom had special needs.
According to a 1998 profile of the Scialabba family in The Times, Naeem � who was born with fetal-alcohol syndrome � spent the youngest years of his life living on the streets of South Philadelphia. He came to live with the Scialabbas at the age of 7, and was in desperate need of a safe home and loving parents.
He said of his mother, �She�s strict, but she�s not mean.�
When Davis arrived in the Scialabba household, he didn�t know how to behave around others and would hit and push. Still, Ruth Scialabba said she had �a real soft spot for Naeem,� and kept him at her side every moment of the day until he was able to adapt.
He quickly developed a tender spot when a new baby, Israel, arrived in the Scialabba household when Davis was 16. Ruth Scialabba told The Times in 1998 the night Israel came home, she found Davis rocking Israel in a living-room chair.
A phone number listed for Jim and Ruth Scialabba is out of service.
Beaver Falls Police Chief Charles Jones said police did have contact with Davis, but didn�t comment on the specifics of their interactions.
Jones said he did not know when Davis left the area.
