"Justice is supported so closely by mercy. The Savior waits for our call. He is mighty to save. There is no pain, no illness, no suffering that he does not intimately understand. Likewise, there is no joy, no comfort, no relief that He is not fully capable of providing."
Without spending too much time in the not so important past, but enough to create some pertinent context, we'll begin this story in the fall of 2000. I was 20 years old, and preparing to serve a mission while working on my uncle's farm in southern Idaho. Born in February of 1980, I was approaching my 21st birthday. Year 18 and 19 for me were unsettled years. I had spent them working construction in and around my home in Salem, Utah where I was choosing to live a life out of accordance with the principles of the gospel. I smoked cigarettes, chewed tobacco and drank alcohol. I had a very real experience with the spirit which caused me to up and leave this lifestyle in a moment, moving myself to Idaho where I immediately began a lengthy process of coming correct with my Father in Heaven. During this process I felt the call to serve, and began working to prepare for a full-time mission. In January of 2001, I entered the MTC in Provo, Utah where I began learning the language of Portuguese and the practices of the LDS Missionary.
Just after my 21st birthday I flew to the Porto, Portugal mission where I, along with seven other new missionaries, met the Assistants, jumped in taxis, and took off through wine country to the mission home. The next few weeks were amazing. I met my companion, and a connection was immediately made - to one another, as well as to the area in which we were called to serve. The people were awesome, the members faithful, the work of sharing the gospel was alive, and we were spending our days creating maps of our area while greeting people in the streets, setting appointments with potential investigators, and teaching. Life was good. I was picking up the language, and even had locals who mistook me for European when they heard me speak Portuguese.
February turned to March, and March turned to April. On about the 10th of April 2001, I was walking to a member's home to have lunch and go over a few investigator referrals. I stepped out into a busy road and was hit by a bus. Taking into consideration the facts that I have always been a well put together person (physically strong and athletic), and that I was just hit by a moving vehicle, the adrenaline had become a key factor in my immediate physiological state, and the damage to my body was not immediately felt. In fact, after the initial contact, the catapulting of my body through the air, and the subsequent rolling and skidding of my broken frame along the cobblestone road, I leapt to my feet, and with my terrified companion close behind me, I quickly ran from the scene. I was humiliated by my stupidity, and was truly frightened by what had happened. Though the decision was unspoken, as a companionship we decided to forgo lunch with the church member and return to our apartment to rest and evaluate. As soon as I stepped in the front door to the apartment, I immediately collapsed in pain. It was as if the reality of the situation suddenly hit me with its full force, and the adrenaline wasn't there to buoy me up. For the next several hours, as my companion made calls to District and Zone Leaders, and later to the mission office, I laid in my bed, feeling an indescribable pain in my hips and down both my legs, and moving was a chore.
I wonder how best to describe what happened next - whether I should tell it through the eyes of the frightened, inexperienced young man who had just had his world turned upside down, or through the perspective of hindsight, 16 years and a life of consequence later… Maybe just the facts will suffice at this point.
I was hit by a bus in a foreign country. Though I was not entirely disabled, I was injured. Something was wrong with the structural nature of my body. I walked with involuntary caution. My brain refused to call on my body to do tasks such as running or twisting, and bending over was a chore. I would find out later that joints in the lumbar spine had been compromised due to the impact from the accident. The disc that separates vertebrae L4 and L5 was in pieces, and the one separating and enabling the vertebrae L5 and S1 had ruptured, and was interfering with spinal communication. At the time immediately following the accident, all I knew was that something wasn't right. My Mission President's counsel was wise and specific; fast, pray, rest for a couple days, and then head into Porto to meet with him and evaluate my condition. From there we would look at different options. I was allowed to call my family to let them know what had happened. When I did so, I was surprised at the feelings that flooded my being... I longed to be back home. I didn't want to finish what I had started in Portugal. These feelings lingered and they infected my situation like a killer disease. The next few days, the only piece of President's advice that I responded to in the affirmative was the "rest" piece. I didn't fast, and I didn't pray. Thinking that I had a choice whether or not to stay in the country and finish the mission I had started was all I could think about. So I rested and made up my own mind - I was going to go home.
I'm not sure what my attitude did to exacerbate my physical condition, but when we went across the Douro River into Porto to meet with President, I was necessarily using a crutch to walk, and I felt totally justified in my decision to leave. President had other ideas. He bore his testimony to me of missionary work and of the Lord's need for me to be there. He spoke authoritatively and powerfully about duty, service, and agency. He then said words to me that I received with defensive pride, "If you do not finish your mission, you will struggle to finish everything else in your life." I heard challenge in those words - not loving guidance. I left, and went to see the specialist. A man who seemed to specialize in nothing more than drinking alcohol before noon poked at me a bit, took an x-ray, and sent me to the pharmacy to pick up pre-loaded syringes of morphine and muscle relaxants. I declined the drugs and with my companion returned to the city of Gaia and our little apartment. President had asked that I wait for the diagnosis from the specialist before making any big decisions. I waited for the diagnosis, but was already ready with my decision. I was going home – with, or without President's recommendation to do so.
The traditions of the LDS mission are interesting aren't they? The farewells, the homecomings, the sending-off parties, and the returning home celebrations. The early-returnee gains a new perspective of these traditions. I limped off the plane broken, and in more ways than just physically. There were no balloons or posters, no cheerful shouts of praise, no rolling out of the red carpet. Just a tearfully worried mother and father.
The story is long from here... This was nearly 18 years ago. Each year, a series of moments; and each moment, an opportunity. "Choose you this day whom you will serve" means more to me now than it once did. I realized the miracle and blessing of agency only after traveling through moments of darkness - moments chosen by me.
What did I feel when I walked off that plane? Or when I sat in the office of my Stake President and was told that there didn't need to be an official release performed by him, that my release would not be recognized by the church as an honorable one, and that I would not stand before my home Ward family and be recognized for my willingness to serve? I felt lost, and I felt heavy. I felt forgotten, shunned, cast out… I was disappointed in myself, but at the same time, disappointed in the church. I was angry with myself and I was angry with my Father in Heaven.
It is interesting what the natural man will do to protect himself when a sense of self-sufficiency and self-security is lost. My natural man pointed the finger of blame everywhere it could think to do so, in a prideful attempt to save face. I blamed the bus that hit me. I blamed my companion who didn't lead the way that I thought a trainer should. I blamed my Mission President for his lack of compassion and diplomacy in dealing with me after the accident. I blamed the Church and the Mission Department for their lack of willful financial and moral support following my return - a series of omitted acts I saw as a lack of Christ-like charity. I blamed my girlfriend who promised loving support, and chose to bail on me only days after leaving for the MTC. The list goes on… This chosen perspective created a defensive paradigm which crippled my ability to see clearly. Every word spoken to me was received into a mind prepared by false impressions of reality. I could not see past my neurotic ideas of what others were truly thinking and feeling about me. They hated me - I knew they had to… They judged me as unrighteous, unwilling, and weak. They looked at me as a failure. They, as well as my Heavenly Father. How could it be otherwise?
These were my thoughts, and they commanded my actions. I removed myself from the Church and set myself apart from principles which once enlightened my mind, and influenced my direction. And so it was that the consequence for these decisions was justly placed. Of course, time and experience have tenderly shown me the deeper truth about the reality of this justice. That even through the decade of prescription drug and heroin abuse, loss of family, and the subsequent 39 month prison sentence which followed, I was never forsaken by my Heavenly Father. That even in the moment of unrighteous decision, the justice of God, through the Atonement of our Savior, was encircled about by mercy. And even though I had removed myself from the light which illuminates all darkness, and could not in the moment see his mercy being offered, it was always there. I realized this powerful truth nearly 8 years ago when, from the depths of my starved spirit and the cold floor of a prison cell, I cried in anguish for my Savior to free me from the unbearable pain, and forgive me for all that I had become. The relief was immediate. I knew in that moment that the Savior was always there, waiting for me to call out, to reach out; waiting for me to kneel.
Since that day, I have never forgotten that truth. Justice is supported so closely by mercy. The Savior waits for our call. He is mighty to save. There is no pain, no illness, no suffering that he does not intimately understand. Likewise, there is no joy, no comfort, no relief that He is not fully capable of providing. Today my family is reunited, my Priesthood restored, my mission ongoing. I serve as the Young Men's President in my Ward and operate a growing business in which I am privileged to work with youth - sharing the reality of our Father's great plan, and the potential we have as His sons and daughters. Today my life is renewed through Christ, my path infused with His magnificent light.
Mine is a story not unique in its challenges. However, as the days pass, and the world evolves, what follows the challenges of this too frequently told story is becoming far too unique. Too many of God's children are getting lost in the darkness, unwilling, and at times unable, to call out, to reach out for our merciful Savior. It is my testimony and my mission in life to share the reality of His love, and to be an example of the absolute truth that He is ever near - that He will never forsake us.

" Lonely This Christmas " is by Mud ( now known as Mud II ), the English glam rock band that formed in February of 1966. They had considerable success in the mid to late 70s with fourteen UK Top Twenty hit singles, including three Number Ones.
Mud was made up of Rob Davis ( Lead guitars ), Les Gray ( Lead vocalist ), Ray Stiles ( Bassist ) and Dave Mount ( Drummer ), both Les Gray and Dave Mount have since passed away.
The song was written and produced by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. The songwriting duo had a string of hit singles during the 70s and early 80s. They wrote for artists including Suzi Quatro, Mud, The Sweet, New World, Arrows, Racey, Smokie, Tina Turner, Huey Lewis and the News and Toni Basil. They were responsible for many of the Sweet's million-selling singles like " Ballroom Blitz " and " Blockbuster ".
" Lonely This Christmas " was released in December 1974 by record label RAK ( Parent company EMI ), the label founded by Mickie Most in 1969. The studios still exist and are located at 42-48 Charlbert Street, St Johns Wood, London, England.
The Christmas singles of 1973 where hyperactive tunes from the likes of Slade and Wizzard, however in 1974 the top-selling Christmas single slowed the tempo down a bit.
Mud released the ballad " Lonely This Christmas ", which caused much debate as to how Mud got all the attention for an Elvis cover. In fact, Elvis Presley never did sing the song. In the book, 1000 UK Number Ones by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh Nicky Chinn said " It was Mud parodying Elvis Presley, and some people did think it was Elvis at first. Les did an Elvis on that. We didn't write it that way. It was just how he saw the song ".
Les Gray added " I was doing an Elvis on that, but it was really a send-up of all those smoochy songs. It works because it can also be taken seriously. I remember playing it at the Liverpool Empire, and some of the fans were crying, and others were laughing ".
The song was a commercial success for Mud; it was to be their second Number One in the UK with sales of 750,000. The song entered the UK Singles Chart on the 30th of November 1974 and reached Number One, it stayed at the top for four weeks, spending six weeks in the Top Ten and a total of eleven weeks on the UK chart.
" Lonely This Christmas " was re-released in 1985 but failed to make the UK Top Forty; it peaked at number sixty-one.

Sharyn Bradford Lunn was born in Sydney, Australia, but most of her schooling occurred in a small country town before she returned to "the big smoke" so she enjoys both city life and the rural hideaway. Before embarking on a career in nursing she worked briefly in a telephone exchange then a kindergarten.
After reading Alex Haley's Roots, she developed a passion for genealogy and history that deepened with the ensuing years. This went hand in hand with another newly discovered interest: writing. And so a series was born.
When not writing or researching, Sharyn can be found enjoying time at home on the Central Coast with family and friends, swimming, walking her dogs, reading, tracing someone's family tree, or enjoying a rock concert. She digs a good rollercoaster ride as much as a trail bike ride. To round out her adventurer's spirit, she embraces a joy of travel and learning about other cultures.
Look for more books from Sharyn in the coming months and years, as she develops her Southern Skyes series as well as tinkers in other writing endeavours.
If you enjoy the Southern Skyes series please spread the word and consider leaving a book review . . . they are always very much appreciated.

Boston GlobeMarch 20, 2012A taxpayer group said Monday that Massachusetts cities and towns have saved $80 million on health care since the state enacted a controversial law last year that forced teachers, firefighters, and other municipal employees to give up some of their collective bargaining rights.
The Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, a business-funded watchdog that advocated for the law, said in its report that the overhaul was likely to save more than the $100 million annually that had initially been projected by the group.
MARCH 22, 2012: The Commonwealth's Public Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC) has voted the appointment of Attorney John Parsons to the post of PERAC General Counsel. This key position had become vacant when Barbara Phillips, longtime General Counsel, retired. Phillips had been with PERAC and its predecessor PERA since 1984.
MARCH 19, 2012: The Commonwealth's Group Insurance Commission will hold its annual Open Enrollment period from April 9 through May 7, 2012. During this period, all retirees and employees insured under one of the GIC plans may switch their insurance coverage.
During this time period, the GIC will hold a series of Health Fairs across the state - fifteen in all.
MARCH 19, 2012: Massachusetts cities and towns have reached nearly $80 million in first-year savings from municipal health care reform and are on pace to exceed by far the initial estimate of $100 million, according to the most recent data compiled by the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation.
MARCH 6, 2012: Tom O'Donnell has been named by the Public Employees Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC) to oversee the new retirement education program and pension fund investment reporting requirements for members of our state's 105 public retirement boards.
March 2, 2012: Providing good news to those state, teacher and municipal retirees it insures, the state's Group Insurance Commission (GIC) has approved its lowest insurance premium increase since 1999 – just 1.43% across its eleven different plans. Rate changes are effective for Fiscal Year 2013, which begins July 1, 2012.
Across New York State, years of generous and sometimes overly generous benefits have made government pensions unaffordable. Thanks to contract sweeteners and giveaways by Albany politicians, New York City's pension costs have risen more than fivefold, to $8 billion this year from $1.3 billion in 2002. Other communities are in similarly tough straits.
FEBRUARY 29, 2012: Richard Liston, a retired Everett special education teacher has been named to fill an opening as the seventh member of the Teachers' Retirement Board, the Commonwealth's only seven-member Board.Liston was voted to that seat for a four-year term by the first six members of the Board after interviewing five finalists over the past month. The seat had been previously held by Linda Ruberto, a retired Pittsfield teacher, who declined a new term after 20 years on the Board.
By Robert J. SamuelsonWashington Post One hallmark of the Obama administration's budget policy has been to exempt the elderly from major cuts, even though spending on the elderly — mainly through Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — represents 40 percent or more of the budget. The main reason is political: The elderly (it's presumed) would vote against politicians who would cut their benefits. But to justify the policy, politicians and others often portray the elderly as financially vulnerable with scant savings.
FEBRUARY 14, 2012: Association members were among the over 200 attendees at a recent forum on the new Municipal Health Insurance (MHI) law, that was held at Boston Fire Local 718's Florian Hall in Dorchester. They gathered together as the retiree designees on the Public Employee Committee (PEC) for their community or school district.
FEBRUARY 1, 2012: Over 100 employees and retirees attended today's annual public hearing of the Commonwealth's Group Insurance Commission (GIC) held in Minihan Hall at the Lindemann Center.
Dolores Mitchell, Executive Director of the GIC, presented an extensive update of all commission activities and an estimated projection of future needs and costs.
Mitchell started by pointing out that the Commonwealth could be under some pressure from the added costs of Federal health care reform.
SPRINGFIELD – This city has $761.6 million in unfunded liabilities for municipal retiree health benefits, which works out to more than $12,000 in unfunded liabilities per single-family home.
Holyoke has $300 million in unfunded liabilities, working out to about $18,000 in unfunded liability per single-family home, or about 59 percent of Holyoke's median household income, according to a study recently released by the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation.
JANUARY 25, 2012: Year 2011 was not a good year for the Commonwealth's Pension Reserves Investment Trust (PRIT) Fund.
Data released at this month's Pension Reserves Investment Management (PRIM) Board meeting show that the $47.4 billion fund barely creeped into the black with an earnings of 0.26 last year.
After strongly recovering from a disastrous Year 2008 when the Fund lost -29.50% of its value, followed by earnings of 17.06% in Year 2009 and 13.56% in Year 2010, the Fund was a victim of the worldwide market slump last year.
JANUARY 23, 2012: Today, the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC) approved the fifth and final member of the Essex Regional (County) Retirement Board.
JANUARY 13, 2012: Yesterday, January 12th the Mass. Taxpayers Foundation (MTF) under its ubiquitous leader Michael Widmer unleashed an untimely attack on municipal health insurance costs.
A brief summary of the report was included in today's Boston Globe, including a response by Shawn Duhamel, Legislative Liaison of our Association and Ed Kelly, President of the Professional Firefighters Union.
By Travis AndersenGlobe Staff January 13, 2012
A Beacon Hill watchdog group has released a report indicating that steep cuts to education and other public services are inevitable in 10 of the state's most cash-strapped cities to fund the rising cost of health care for their municipal retirees, unless the Legislature makes changes.
UPDATED: JANUARY 13, 2012: There's been action aplenty over the past two months at the seven-member Teachers' Retirement Board.
A December election has seen incumbent Karen Mitchell top a five candidate field in winning a second four-year term on the Board.
Finishing second and also winning a four-year term on the Board was Dennis Naughton, a retired 38-year Millis teacher.
JANUARY 10, 2012: Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has filed legislation calling for the full repeal of the dreaded Social Security Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). S2010, cosponsored by Republican Susan Collins of Maine, places Kerry in a leading role on the issue of Social Security fairness.
It has been more than three decades since Proposition 2½ became the law of the land here in the commonwealth, but there is no question that the last few years have been the hardest on municipalities. A combination of shrinking revenue on the federal, state, and local levels has met up with a near-record growth in the costs of health care and pension funds. The result is a bleak present and, in all likelihood, a dimmer foreseeable future.
Boston Globe
December 20, 2011
Massachusetts is set once again to become a testing ground for a major federal effort to overhaul the health care industry.
Five of the 32 hospital systems and physician groups that will become "pioneers" in a program to change how doctors are paid for the care they provide Medicare patients are from eastern Massachusetts. Starting Jan. 1, the federal program will give them a budget to care for their more than 150,000 patients, rather than a payment for each test or treatment.
DECEMBER 19, 2011: As 2012 approaches, the number of municipalities eyeing changes to their local health insurance plans is rapidly growing. In the past two weeks alone, the Association has had requests from 18 separate local entities seeking a retiree representative to the local Public Employee Committee (PEC).
Thanks to a flagging economy, the last two years have been the most financially difficult for Bay State towns and cities in 30 years, according to a report by the business-backed Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation.
Statewide, municipal budgets grew by a combined 1.2 percent in fiscal 2010 and 2011, a new two-year low, the report said. Property taxes increased 3.8 percent statewide last fiscal year, the smallest one-year increase since Proposition 2½ began capping property tax increases in 1982.
December 7 2011: Cash-strapped cities and towns across Massachusetts are struggling with the worst stress on their budgets since passage of Proposition 2 1/2 in 1980, according to a new report from the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation.
DECEMBER 6, 2012: If you are a retired state employee or teacher, the amount of your pension and former agency or workplace is now on the state-run "Open Checkbook" website available to anyone with a computer.
NT Times
MADISON, Wis. — As states and cities struggle to resolve paralyzing budget shortfalls by sending workers on unpaid furloughs, freezing salaries and extracting larger contributions for health benefits and pensions, a growing number of public-sector workers are finding fewer reasons to stay.
Since 1968 the Retired State, County and Municipal Employees Association has been the leading voice for Massachusetts public retirees and their families. Join with our 52,000 members as we continue the fight.

Many SEO providers can put your website at risk by using spammy and black hat practices. Some of them might even use old-school SEO methods like keyword stuffing and low-quality link building, with the thought of using white hat tactics that do you a favor – but ultimately put your website in jeopardy.
Unfortunately, the algorithms behind the search engines could care less if your spammy SEO attempts were intentional or not when they analyze and rank your site. They penalize pages easily and won't hesitate just because they think you are confused about how things work.
A good SEO has a genuine interest in your business. Using deceptive and black hat tactics chasing short-term results is NOT beneficial and will only waste your money and obliterate your organic ranking. SEO today is no longer about stuffing keywords and having as many low-quality backlinks as possible.

First, understanding your situation, your business, and your clients are some of my top priorities. Having knowledge in the industry allows me, together with you, to set realistic and measurable goals that will ultimately increase your business.
Second in our cooperation is understanding the competitive environment and conducting analysis where I collect competitive intelligence. Having an extensive understanding of the situation allows me to find gaps that will help you to dominate the competition.
Next step is making those goals reality. By using some of the latest tactics, the same that proven industry leaders use, I can then generate results and grow your business.
Are you having a hard time understanding why SEO is helpful?Even if you are on top of the search engine, your competitors are coming. They are already doing SEO and implementing strategies that will eventually take a small portion of your business. Now think about how many of them there are. DON'T LET YOUR CLIENTS GO TO YOUR COMPETITORS.

Previous chapter
1 Thou [Note 1] therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I [Note 1] say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
1 tu ergo fili mi confortare in gratia quae est in Christo Iesu
2 et quae audisti a me per multos testes haec commenda fidelibus hominibus qui idonei erunt et alios docere
3 labora sicut bonus miles Christi Iesu
4 nemo militans inplicat se negotiis saecularibus ut ei placeat cui se probavit
5 nam et qui certat in agone non coronatur nisi legitime certaverit
6 laborantem agricolam oportet primum de fructibus accipere
7 intellege quae dico dabit enim tibi Dominus in omnibus intellectum
8 memor esto Iesum Christum resurrexisse a mortuis ex semine David secundum evangelium meum
9 in quo laboro usque ad vincula quasi male operans sed verbum Dei non est alligatum
10 ideo omnia sustineo propter electos ut et ipsi salutem consequantur quae est in Christo Iesu cum gloria caelesti
11 fidelis sermo nam si conmortui sumus et convivemus
12 si sustinemus et conregnabimus si negabimus et ille negabit nos
13 si non credimus ille fidelis manet negare se ipsum non potest
14 haec commone testificans coram Domino noli verbis contendere in nihil utile ad subversionem audientium
15 sollicite cura te ipsum probabilem exhibere Deo operarium inconfusibilem recte tractantem verbum veritatis
16 profana autem inaniloquia devita multum enim proficient ad impietatem
17 et sermo eorum ut cancer serpit ex quibus est Hymeneus et Philetus
18 qui a veritate exciderunt dicentes resurrectionem iam factam et subvertunt quorundam fidem
19 sed firmum fundamentum Dei stetit habens signaculum hoc cognovit Dominus qui sunt eius et discedat ab iniquitate omnis qui nominat nomen Domini
20 in magna autem domo non solum sunt vasa aurea et argentea sed et lignea et fictilia et quaedam quidem in honorem quaedam autem in contumeliam
21 si quis ergo emundaverit se ab istis erit vas in honorem sanctificatum et utile Domino ad omne opus bonum paratum
22 iuvenilia autem desideria fuge sectare vero iustitiam fidem caritatem pacem cum his qui invocant Dominum de corde puro
23 stultas autem et sine disciplina quaestiones devita sciens quia generant lites
24 servum autem Domini non oportet litigare sed mansuetum esse ad omnes docibilem patientem
25 cum modestia corripientem eos qui resistunt nequando det illis Deus paenitentiam ad cognoscendam veritatem
26 et resipiscant a diaboli laqueis a quo capti tenentur ad ipsius voluntatem

When I was in college my parents split up. It was a very stressful time for me. They were both caught up in their own world, not realizing how much their daughter needed them. I was at a thrift store, shopping for some objects with memory to give them some ground. I bought an old wool blanket with satin binding and blanket stitched edge. It sat on my bed for years traveling from rental to rental, always a reminder of that crazy time. It's a rosy red floral with a plaid shadow behind it on a cream background. The satin is pink.

The Duchess of Bedford has officially opened the Keepers Cottages, which have been added to the aviary.
The ceremony took place during the Woburn Abbey Garden Show.
The extensions are the final stage of a project to reconstruct another eye-catching feature for the Woburn estate.
Under the direction of the Duchess of Bedford and a team of gardeners, many of Humphry Repton's designs for the Woburn Estate, where his work has been most realised, have been brought back to life. However, few projects have been as fascinating as the reconstruction from the ashes of his design for the aviary, cone house and menagerie.
Originally built in 1805, the aviary and cone house represents one of Repton's most elaborate designs and marked the estate's first foray into keeping exotic birds and animals in the surrounding menagerie. When it was originally built, the artistic views of the Red Book had the labourers and agents scratching their heads as to how best realise Repton's designs.
Unfortunately it was burnt down and later deconstructed during the Second World War for easier garden maintenance.
However, after reviewing Repton's largest Red Book of designs in the Woburn Abbey library, the duchess, the estate gardens manager Martin Towsey and Woburn's gardeners were inspired to reinstate Repton's designs. The work began in 2011.

Post processing for SLS printed parts
Parts produced with SLS 3D printing have a high level of accuracy, good strength and are often used as functional parts. Because of the nature of the powder based fusion process, SLS printed parts have a powdery, grainy finish. Post-processing of SLS parts is common practice with a range of techniques and finishes available. Coatings are also regularly added to SLS parts to improve the performance. Furthermore, a functional coating can sometimes help to compensate for the lack of feasible material grades for SLS.
This article will discuss the most common SLS post-processing methods.
Curious about the cost and available material options for SLS?
Standard finish
This is the default finish for SLS. Parts are removed from the build chamber and all powder is removed from the part with compressed air. The surface is then also cleaned via plastic bead blasting to remove any un-sintered powder sticking to the surface. This finish is inherently rough, similar to a medium grit sandpaper (satin-like matte finish that is slightly grainy). This is also the best surface preparation for painting or lacquering.
- All SLS parts come with this standard finish (unless otherwise specified)
- Good accuracy as overall geometry is not altered
- Low cost
- Matte, grainy surface finish
- Limited colour options based on powder colour (typically white)
|★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆
|★ ★ ★ ★ ★
|★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Media tumbled (vibro polish)
For a smoother surface texture, Nylon SLS parts can be polished in media tumblers or vibro machines. A tumbler that contains small ceramic chips that vibrate against the object gradually erode the outer surface down to a polished finish. As a result, this process does have a small effect on part dimensions and results in rounding sharp edges. It is not recommended that parts with fine details and intricate features are tumbled.
- Excellent smooth surface
- Multiple parts can be done at once
- Removes sharp edges
- Not suitable for delicate features
- Removes sharp edges which can negatively affect part geometry
|★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
|★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
|★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
The fastest most cost-effective method to color SLS prints is via a dye process. The porosity of SLS parts makes them ideal for dyeing. The part is immersed in a hot color bath with a large range of colors available. Using a color bath ensures full coverage of all internal and external surface. Typically the dye only penetrates the part down to a depth of around 0.5 mm meaning continued wear to the surface will expose the original powder color.
- A large range of colours available
- Does not affect part dimensions
- Multiple parts can be dyed at once
- Cost effective compared to other colouring methods
- Good for complex geometries
- Dye penetration is only 0.5 mm deep
- Does not result in a glossy finish
|★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
|★ ★ ★ ★ ★
|★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Spray paint or lacquering
SLS parts are able to be spray painted. SLS parts can also be coated with a lacquer (varnish or clear coat). Via lacquering it is possible to obtain various finishes, such as high gloss or a metallic sheen. Lacquer coatings can improve wear resistance, surface hardness, water tightness and limit marks and smudges on the surface of the part.
Due to the porous nature of SLS it is recommended that 4 - 5 very thin coats are applied to achieve a final finish rather than 1 thick coat. This results in a faster drying time and reduce the likelihood of the paint or lacquer running.
- Lacquer can improve mechanical properties
- Results in a glossy smooth coloured or clear surface
- Improves UV protection
- Labour intensive if lots of parts are coated
- Impacts overall part dimensions
- Good surface preparation required (removal of all loose powder)
|★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
|★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
|★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
A correctly sintered SLS part will have some inherent water resistance. Coatings can be applied to further enhance this. Silicones and vinyl-acrylates have been shown to provide the best results. Polyurethane (PU) is not recommended for waterproofing SLS parts. If complete water resistance is required a dip coating method is recommended.
- Further improves water resistance/watertightness of parts
- Coating can improve mechanical strength
- Coatings are generally thick affecting overall part accuracy
|★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
|★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
|★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆
Metal coating
SLS parts are able to be electroplating. Stainless steel, copper, nickel (or a combination of both) gold and chrome can be deposited on the surface of parts to increase strength or electrical conductivity in shielding applications. Parts are cleaned and a conductive layer of material is applied to the surface. The parts then go through traditional metal coating procedures. The plastic can be retained as structural support or removed to create thin-walled parts 25 to 125 microns thick.
- Improves part strength and functionality
- Aesthetically parts look like they are made of metal
- Allows for part conductivity
- Excellent surface finish
- Increases lead time
- Greatly increases cost
- Requires high level of skill (parts are often sent away to be coated)
- Limited number of metals available

A new market in Savin Hill, The Daily, is looking likely to open by this coming spring, filling the ground floor and basement space of a new commercial building on a parcel that for years has been the site of a shuttered variety store.
Business partners Aimee Morgida and Paul McGillivray will be managing the market at the corner of Sydney Street and Savin Hill Avenue. It will be the anchor tenant of James Baker's two-building, mixed-use project, which will include nine neighboring condominium units and a fitness center in the building's top floor.
"It really comes back to the community engagement process," Baker said this week. "We listened to the community. We had 400 surveys completed, and those took someone 20 minutes to complete, so this was a real exhaustive effort. And we heard what the community wanted and said, "look, let's give the community what it wants.""
Morgida and McGillivray told the Reporter on Monday that they envision a daily needs market, with prepared foods, produce and other groceries, and grab-and-go options.
Located at 110 Savin Hill Ave., the roughly 3,000-square foot space sits beneath two floors of other commercial uses. "The downstairs is going to be kitchen area, storage; it's going to be used to facilitate everything that's happening on the ground floor for the convenience of the customer," Morgida said. "There will be fresh-made prepared foods that will come from the kitchen that we have downstairs, as well as from some outside vendors. We're really looking for the neighborhood customers to get what they're really looking for — one woman put it really well: 'I want my organic milk and my Frosted Flakes.' We can do that."
Focus groups and surveys for the neighborhood as the project got under way highlighted a niche the teamlook forward to filling.
"The neighborhood and consumers there want access to convenience options, in terms of buying their daily needs and wanting to have produce, prepared food," McGillivray said, "certainly wanting to have a place that was convenient to have their staple items."
The pair came on board with Baker and his development team around February or March of this year. Baker and his partner John McDonough, are "local men who really have a vision for how they deliver to the neighborhood and give back to the neighborhood," Aimee Morgida said.
"We have long supermarket backgrounds, specifically, or most recently with Roche Bros.," McGillivray added.
Morgida worked for Roche Bros. Supermarkets for almost a decade, and before that Whole Foods Market, according to her LinkedIn profile.
The Daily will not be a convenience store in a traditional sense, they note. It will not be replacing the Rite Aid down the block. But florals, baked goods, a deli, a small meat department will all be on site.
"A lot of our food will be grab and go, so people can come into the store and get their coffee, get their muffin, get on the train, come back, get dinner, go home," Morgida said.
The market's location puts it right across the street from a relatively new local business, Honeycomb, that specializes in farm-to-takeout coffees and teas and sandwiches. Morgida said they are "looking to be good neighbors… certainly not looking to hurt any of the small local businesses. We're a small local business. We're looking to be complementary."
Glass for the commercial building arrived this week, which ushers in the next step of finishing off the siding and some interior work. A potential snag, though, is familiar to developers across the state at the moment -- gas. The project was supposed to have gas in June, Baker said, but the National Grid contract stalemate and moratoriums following gas explosions in the Merrimack Valley leave some uncertainty around when the building can open in full.
Editor's note: an earlier version of the story misidentified two members of the market team.

Welcome to The Friends of St James (PTA)
The Friends of St James (PTA) is made up of parents and staff at the school; when you join our school you automatically become a member. Every penny we raise goes directly to the school, benefitting our children and helping make our school an even better place to learn, make friends and enjoy their school experience.
The PTA can be contacted through email@example.com or through class reps. We welcome everyone at our meetings, which are announced via parentmail or via the newsletter.
As a PTA we have 3 main objectives:
The PTA are proud that, through the generosity of parents and local businesses, we have been able to contribute to the school by paying for:
There is never a shortage of requests for new equipment or things that benefit the children at St James, so our fundraising efforts continue. For the PTA to be a success we need parents to be involved. How can you help?
There are other easy ways to help us. Please see below for links to our Easyfundraising page and other ways you can contribute.
Thank you for your support
The PTA Committee
Newsletter - September 2018
Hello and welcome from your new PTA team!
Before we introduce ourselves, we just want to say a massive thank you to the outgoing PTA who, I'm sure you can all agree, did an amazing job at raising a substantial amount of much needed money for our school. We have followed suit this year and have gone for a small group of co-chairs rather than just one chair. We are Daisy (mum to Freddie in Year 6 and Xavi in Year 3), Kam (mum to Edith in Year 2) and Kirsty (mum to Pixie in Year 2 and Indie in Reception).
For all three of us this is all very new as we have never been members of the PTA committee before, despite each of us being class reps over the years, so we are hoping that being co-chairs will help us to spread the load and support each other throughout the year. We also have the promised support of the outgoing PTA, as well as from members of the PTA from years gone by, which is of course very much appreciated.
Our main aim this year is, as always, to raise funds for the school. It is unavoidable with the drastic cuts to funding that schools receive year on year that this has to be our main priority. However, we are fully aware that, bar our lovely new reception parents, it is the same people being asked for donations in one way or another each term. As a way of thanking people for that continued support we want to give back to the school community not only by hosting fun events for parents and kids alike, but also via events that give you the opportunity to make some money for yourselves too (we're thinking nearly new sales etc.) and events that support the small and local businesses that many of our parents and carers run.
We are lucky enough to have an amazing school community here at St James, and we are ever grateful for the support the PTA receives from parents each year. We hope to continue to grow that community, add in a bit of fun along the way, and find ways of showing our gratitude. Thanks in advance for all of your support; we really hope to make this a fun and successful year for everyone in the St James school community.
Daisy Huntington, Kam Prevett and Kirsty Bostock

I REALLY hope someone can help me. I have submitted a manuscript to CreateSpace for publication; however, they have a limit of 40 photos and my document contains 84. They were somewhat snippy on the phone and said either cut half of them or "collage them" but they wouldn't explain. I am thinking I could put 2 or 3 photos (which are now dispersed throughout the book) at the end of each chapter, and somehow re-format them so that the CS reviewer sees them as ONE image. I am extremely UN-technical...can anyone explain how I can do this as if I were a 3-year-old?
Please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

We are approaching a time of the gardening year when you can take things a bit easier, as you will have tidied up your garden, prepared the ground for vegetable and fruits and when the last of the frosts have passed, you will be finishing your summer bedding schemes and containers.
The months of April and May have been a riot of colour, with spring flowering Rhododendrons, while alpines always brighten up the garden and many will have been for a nice walk to Darroch Woods to see the lovely bluebells.
Once the summer bedding is sorted out, you can concentrate on maintaining the garden, involving some grass cutting, weed control, watering and monitoring any disorders such as aphids and fungal diseases on your plants
Gardening has been proven to be good for you in a variety of ways and many people derive therapeutic benefits and in my time in horticulture; I have observed many success stories.
Light gardening or otherwise provides physical exercise and is known as the green gym, but care should be taken to avoid overdoing it as strains and tears can be painfu.l
Just like any exercise; it takes time to become accustomed to long periods of gardening and so it is desirable to pace yourself and seek help where necessary.
There is something extremely satisfying about achieving successes in the garden; be it the establishment of a plant from seed or something like an improvement to an area of your garden.
Gardens and garden projects are ideal from many individuals who find life difficult and can escape for a time, whether they are actively involved or not.
The garden can be invaluable for people suffering from dementia, while mental health issues can be helped as well.
Many will be taken back in time and recall memories whilst gardening and so the development of sensory and community gardens in society is a key factor in improving lives, with GPs' prescribing gardening instead of always tranquilisers
'I love it out here'-some people find a new hobby, new confidence and friends via gardening.'
Therapeutic gardening: 'The use of plants by a trained professional as a medium through which certain clinically defined goals may be met.'
'… the process by which individuals may develop well-being using plants and horticulture. This is achieved through active or passive involvement.'
Journal of Social & Therapeutic Horticulture, 1999.
For more information about therapeutic horticulture, contact Trellis
Over the years, I have assisted very many people in therapeutic gardening sessions with professional assistance and have observed tremendous results such as improved confidence, self-esteem and working better with others.
Gardening is well established in children's nurseries and schools; while community gardens enable everyone to participate in gardening; share experiences; become healthy in body and mind and above all have fun.
Volunteering can be beneficial for anyone who needs to get involved and make a difference and one of the best ways to have fun, meet people and help the community is to approach Blair in Bloom and you could be helping to enhance the appearance of Blairgowrie & Rattray.
Happy gardening

This week my housemate asked me to do a her a diet plan for the week for us both to follow and until yesterday this had been going quite well. The plan was to stay roughly around 1400 calories and cut down on sugar and only have starchy carbohydrates with our lunch.
So yesterday I did not have the best day nutritionally (not sure if that's even a word!). Started off well, did a gym class in the morning followed by a breakfast of half a banana and a slice of frittata. I had my snacks as planned and my beef stir fry, however at work a colleague of mine offered me some chocolate and it all went down hill from there.
I was like the shark Brucey off Finding Nemo, once I had a taste for chocolate I was on one to get some more. Luckily I had a slight distraction as I had to pick my nephew up from nursery, however ran into another bout of temptation when he decided he wanted to pretend it was christmas and bake christmas cookies for santa! He's the cutest kid every though so I couldn't resist! So ate one of these too.
I then went home and was still on the search for more chocolate, so ate a small dark chocolate Lindt orange intense bar. After this I still wasn't satisfied and was searching high and low in the cupboards for more chocolate or junk food. However luckily, I did not have any in the house! So when people say keep junk food out of sight or do not have it in the house (better for me as even out of sight I would still find it!), it's actually true I didn't continue my binge because there was nothing else for me to eat!
Living in Dubai it is more than easy to just order from a supermarket and get delivered, whether you call or there is even a grocery app you can order things off! However, my housemate had already ordered things off the app to our apartment so felt embarrassed to order more, especially when it was junk food to satisfy my binging!
So at the end of the day, my laziness of not wanting to walk to a supermarket and my embarrassment of not wanting to order through the grocery app again, actually saved me from eating shit that I did not need!

How to Use the Request Form
1. Select Imagery of Interest
The Map of Imagery and Imagery Database pages are designed to help in the selection process. Due to the large volume of media housed at the Archive, specific requests are necessary to create copies or prepare media for a viewing appointment. Requests can be made by sub-region as displayed on the Imagery Database page (i.e. Bodega Head, Farallon Islands, Catalina), by original project as shown in the Map and Database, or more specifically by individual transect or dive. Additional filtering requirements may be given, such as collection tool, predominant habitat, date collected, video only, or stills only.
2. Select Media Type
Video imagery may be requested in either its original tape format, or compressed digital files on DVD or external drive. HD stills are available for download on the Imagery Database in zip files, however those are selected sample images that do not encompass the entire image collection available for the regions listed. Images may be either copied to an external drive mailed to the Archive or delivered electronically through email.
3. Ship Blank Copy Media OR Schedule Appointment
After submitting a competed Request Form and receiving the approval email, if you require compressed digital forms of video (external drive or DVD), please ship the storage media to:
CSUMB Ryan Ranch Annex, Attn. CUIA, 8 Upper Ragsdale Road, Monterey, CA 93940
We will copy the requested imagery to either the DVDs or drive and ship them back.
Scheduling a Copying or Viewing Appointment
Due to the time consuming nature of copying tapes, we require requests of more than 20 hours of tape-based video be copied by the requester at our Monterey location. If this is the case, an Archive staff member will contact you after receiving the Request Form to schedule a time. Note that copying tape takes an equal amount of time to its length. We will provide the equipment necessary to view the tape and copy them, but we do require that you bring your own tapes to copy the video onto
If you lack the equipment necessary to view tape-based imagery but require it for your work, we have a viewing station available at the Archive that you may use to conduct your video observations. If you require use of the video workstation, please indicate so on your request form and an Archive staff member will contact you to schedule viewing appointments.

Becoming an Expert at Managing Conflict A business that is full of conflict can't be successful. People don't trust each other or work well when there is underlying animosity. Being able to identify and resolve conflicts effectively will make the difference in making your business successful or not. Here is a set process that will ensure that you are addressing each conflict in the best way possible. The first thing you need to do is set up the scene before negotiations start. There needs to be a sense of mutual respect and nice behavior for people to be able to open up to new ideas. You need to make sure the discussion is focused on the actual problem and isn't focused on the individuals as people. Each person needs to feel like they are being listened to. You should take everything people say with thoughtful consideration and not just shut down ideas. You can understand people better and show that you are listening when you rephrase what people are saying. The next step is to gather information. The position a person is taking is often on the surface of some much deeper desire or need. You won't be able to do this if you aren't being objective and putting yourself in their shoes. You shouldn't try to resolve too many issues at once. Be concise and simple. You need to show that you understand how the situation is affecting the parties involved. Starting sentences with "you" can seem accusatory. Instead, try starting sentences with "I" to show that you are thinking about your actions instead of someone else's. Clarify everyone's feelings instead of assuming what they are.
Learning The "Secrets" of Options
8 Lessons Learned: Services
Next you need to make sure everyone is on the same page in regards to what the problem is. If the problem isn't identified, then a solution is never going to be met. Identifying the problem can help people to see that we are all working towards the same goal. You can help everyone feel like part of the solution if you have a brainstorming session. The beginning should just be including everyone in gathering as many ideas as possible. Don't throw any ideas out during this stage. Don't stop to evaluate any of them, just keep adding more. Stopping too long on one will kill the creativity of thinking of new ideas. Someone should edit the ideas after someone makes the list of ideas. You should gather as much input as you can get. The real solution may be the product of a silly idea, so be open. Once everyone has stated their position and understands everyone else, it is time to negotiate. Making sure everyone feels safe will go a long way to reaching a solution.

With New York's long, snowy winter finally in our rearview mirrors, spring had just started to unfold at Riverside Park in Manhattan when I visited there with my friend, Joel, and our Nikon D90s on the third Saturday in April.
Few trees or flowers sported any bloom, but Little Leaguers competing on a diamond, speedy and slow skateboarders, and an American robin colorizing a still bud-less tree served as willing and unsuspecting subjects to photograph nonetheless.
A distinct feature of the park, at least where we shot at nearby Columbia University, is the precipice landscape, with its notable stone stairs that lead park-goers to and from Riverside Drive that overlooks the narrow green.
Frederick Law Olmstead, the architect of Central Park, designed this westside park that stretches four miles between Riverside Drive and the Hudson River, from 72nd to 158th streets.

Every few months, Diamond Light Source – the UK's synchrotron particle accelerator – open their doors to the public to go to visit. I had learnt about this through IanVisits' blog some months back, dutifully signed up to the mailing list, and when the e-mail arrived quickly asked for tickets for the January session. So the 8th of January saw me making my way by train to Didcot and by bus on to Harwell campus to get the opportunity to visit this fascinating site.
The visit consisted of a 40minute talk by the events manager at Diamond, followed by a tour of the facility in small groups led by employees of the facility. I thought the talk at the beginning quite good, if maybe alternating a bit between too childish and too technical at different points. The highlight of the trip though was definitely what was to come next.
The guy taking us around the facility took us around the facility in an order similar to that an electron takes. We were first shown the electron gun which produces the electrons which will go round the facility. In the linear accelerator, or LINAC, the electrons are then bunched into very focussed groups which are accelerated to enter the booster ring. I was fascinated to learn that even at the speeds that this machine operates at, the electron packets only enter the booster ring at intervals which make sure that they remain as a discrete packet.
The booster ring is then where the electrons packets gain the required energy to 'do their job'. So the packets go round and round the ring till they have the required energy, constantly being squashed and squeezed with the use of magnets to make sure that they remain as compact a packet as possible. Once they have reached the required energy they then move on to the storage ring.
As the name implies, the storage ring is where the electron packets are stored. As the electron packets go round this ring, they slowly lose some energy in the form of light. This 'loss' is however what the facility depends upon, as it is this synchrotron light which is used to do the work they need here. As the light is uncharged (it is a wave), it is not affected by the magnets in the same way that the charged electrons are, so they are channelled down the beamline and onto the samples.
It is the way the synchrotron light interacts with the samples at this point which is what interests the researchers making use of this facility. Unfortunately, though our guide told us that there will be Fred to explain what goes on at this point, Fred had to go home so we got the events manager explaining things to us. She still did a good job, but I was really looking forward to hearing the scientist at the end of the line talking about the data analysis, especially as we were warned that he tends to be a bit too technical, and to get some answers to some questions I had.
Having walked around the site 'like an electron packet', we then found our way to the main entrance, where we said our goodbyes, and made our way back home. If you are in the UK and have even a vague interest in science, I would definitely urge you to sign up to the mailing list for these events!
