hi guys have you ever had a party to go to and you had no idea what in the world to get your friend?
especially the friend who has everything....
well, this happens to me all the time! every weekend we have a shower, b-day, engagement party, wedding, bbq, pool party and this is the perfect little gift to bring in almost any occasion.
*also makes for a great wedding favor
when Jacob and I go to california, we stock up on 2 buck chuck. (charles shaw) it's only $1.99 a bottle, but has won awards, great reviews, and the taste buds of many. yes people, it is tasty and that's coming from me, someone who loves wine tastings and wine nights! my family and i love the vino so trust me.
we decided last Christmas to give the 2 buck chuck wine as gifts, but wanted our friends to taste it before they knew how much it was. so i decided to make my own labels to disguise our wine. everyone loved the labels and the little extra effort made it special and fun.
Here's one way to re-label the vino:
Here's one way to re-label the vino:
1. grab your friend's favorite bottle of wine.
2. grab your stash of old magazines and catalogs.
(if you don't have any on hand, don't buy any. Just ask around or use scrap paper from a recycling bin)
(if you don't have any on hand, don't buy any. Just ask around or use scrap paper from a recycling bin)
3. peel off old labels on wine bottle and cut out clippings, initials, and use double sided tape to attach to wine bottle.
4. i like to put my friends initials on the label.
5. i have a whole stash of paper hearts left over from the paper heart garlands, so they came in handy:)
another special touch: you can add a stencil to your bottle and wrap it with twine/hemp.
(i used the N for our best friends last name)
hope you enjoyed this DIY!

Not that anyone reads this, and the few that do, (my family) will have no comment on this. But I figured I would throw it out there anyway.
How can I have good reminders time/date based reminders on the linux desktop. The calendar itself is not as important as the reminders, the ability to quickly and easily set and edit those reminders. Evolution would seem to be ideal except that it has a habit of locking up a few times a week and also has a habit of forgetting to remind me of stuff.
If there were a service in gnome that sat on the notification area, and let me use the google calendar with alerts, and also updated the gnome date time applet with some basic appointment details that would rule. But I find myself with half finished kludges and tools that want to do all the work themselves like Sunbird and a bunch of other stand alone apps.
Anyway I am seeking suggestions, does anyone who uses a linux desktop have a simple system for remembering to do things at specific times?

When this happens think back over the last week or two before your breakout occurred. What did you do differently then that maybe affecting your skin now? Did you eat lots of fatty and sugary foods? Did you begin to drink alcohol when you hadn't been drinking for a while? Did you increase your dairy intake? Did you begin using a different product, perhaps one that uses petroleum / mineral oil as a base?
What happened? What changed? Well it turns out that prior to my breakout we went on a 10 day family holiday. While on holiday I was drinking wine with hubby almost nightly (I usually don't drink often), I was also having cheese platters and iced coffees (an increase in dairy), plus I was using a mineral oil based sunscreen which clogged my pores. During this time I was NOT cleansing regularly or properly. In fact I didn't bring my Facial Wash at all.
I was also reading more and I'm not very good at having idle hands. When idle some people chew their nails, some people smoke, some people eat, some people pull at their hair. I rub my face. Touching your face with your fingers is probably one of the most detrimental things to do when it comes to pimples/acne. Your fingers and hands have lots of bacteria and when you touch your face you're effectively infecting your blemishes. You also spread the bacteria from blemish to blemish which is why it's important to clean your face correctly and not touch your face. Wearing gloves can help.
Within a week of returning the first blemish appeared on my forehead and by the end of the week I had numerous angry red blemishes. The toxins and impurities I was putting into my body were now coming out on my skin while the sunscreen had blocked my pores. A bad combination! Still I did not start routinely cleansing and looking after my skin until the end of the second week because I was being lazy and not taking care of myself.
It was time to set myself a challenge. To clean my skin routinely for 7 nights in a row and improve and heal my skin, getting it back to looking blemish free again. This consisted of drinking plenty of water daily to flush out toxins and impurities. Cleansing, exfoliating and toning followed by an application of Skin Serum every night. The Skin Serum helps with skin regeneration and healing while the cleansing cleans away the bacteria.
Six days in and my skin is looking so much better. No new pimples to report, the old pimples are dead or dying, the flaking skin around the edges of the dead pimples has lessened, there is still some slight scarring / skin pigmentation where the pimples were, however, I can now cover these successfully with mineral makeup.
** Take the 7 day challenge TODAY using JOLI's Blemish Skin Pack - I recommend you choose Serum instead of Light Moisturiser - and share your successes with us!!!! **

As of only a few months ago, the name Denis Villeneuve meant nothing to me. Not only had I never seen a film of his, the name itself wasn't even on my radar. That changed when I saw the brilliant, atmospheric 2013 thriller Prisoners, a work that was littered with names I was familiar with like Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo, Paul Dano, and the masterful cinematographer Roger Deakins, yet the first thing I had to do after the film concluded was to head to IMDB and figure out who this Villeneuve fella was. The disturbing and ominous tone of Prisoners left an indelible impression on me, and I knew I had to absorb more that the man had to offer.
My second Villeneuve journey came when I experienced the wonderful cinematic mind melt known as Enemy, a film likely locked into a top ten slot for 2014 despite it only being May. Much like with Prisoners, Villeneuve teams up with Gyllenhaal and the choice is an example of spot on casting, as if the auteur produces material that brings out the best of Jake and his nuanced talent. That is where the comparisons between the two films end however, and that is meant as a compliment rather than a complaint. It was quickly evident that Villeneuve was no one trick pony, as Enemy was a far more challenging and confounding slice of cinema, one that will leave viewers scrambling for answers to unlock its mysteries. I for one love to be left in the dark when it comes to films that are more abstract, as piecing together my own puzzle is far more fun than having a complete understanding of exactly what the filmmakers vision was.
After diving into two of his films, one thing became very clear about the work of Denis Villeneuve: the man creates haunting, memorable and important cinema. Months later, I cannot shake Prisoners from my mind, as I still think of various sequences from time to time and I will simultaneously smile and also feel my skin crawl from the mood and imagery of that film. On paper, Enemy was a fascinating concept, the idea of recognizing your exact double while watching a film and the search for answers as to how someone unrelated to you could be a true doppelganger in every possible sense, and the movie didn't disappoint as the idea was wonderfully realized and executed in a way I could never possibly forget. I knew I had to seek out one of his previous works and see if his style was always so exciting and hypnotic, which lead me to the film Incendies.
Nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 2011, I was confident that I would be witnessing another very good effort with Incendies, and yet somehow I am still in total awe over how spectacular of an achievement it turned out to be. The opening scene of the film consisted of some attention grabbing imagery of various young boys getting their heads shaved as the always incredible music of Radiohead played over it. Two minutes into the film and I already knew I was in for a treat, a sequence worthy of the reputation Villeneuve has already earned with me for creating lasting, unforgettable moments despite the limited amount of time I had spent wrapping my mind around his work overall.
The remaining 137 minutes did not disappoint, as I was beyond riveted by the story of the twins, Jeanne and Simon, as they honor the final wishes of their recently deceased mother by going on a journey to the Middle East to discover and better understand the messy and troubling roots of their family. The unique narrative of the film shows us the original actions of their mother earlier in her life and also their search for the answers they seek, and Villeneuve's camera is masterful throughout, an expert in mature filmmaking that knows just how to frame his subjects and their circumstances to elicit the most powerful reaction from us, the viewers. Incendies is also beautifully performed by the cast across the board, so much so that this work of fiction felt consistently natural and authentic throughout. I was invested in this film from the first frame to the last, at times disturbed when an unfortunately realistic lack of humanity was showcased, but also emotionally invested by their journey and the direction it takes them.
One masterpiece could be a lucky accident. Two means a visionary talent might in fact be making his mark. Three films, however, is definitive proof that a truly special and extraordinary director has emerged, a new addition to a short list of filmmakers that deserve to have each new release circled on the calender without even so much as a plot synopsis yet released. Some need a recognizable star in the lead role, an exciting story to draw them into the theater, or a promise of stunning special effects to peak their interest enough to lay down the cash at the box office. I only need one reason to be excited for a film called Sicario, slated for a 2015 release: Denis Villeneuve.

Has New Zealand spread its funding for universities too thinly? Should we instead pursue quality over the quantity of students and institutions? Here, Professor Tim Hazeldine joins the debate, with a bold call for Auckland University to shrink in size and rise in standing.
When you get off the plane at Auckland Airport and go down the escalator to the arrivals area you are confronted with a large poster of a sleek, shiny German saloon car. The slogan reads: "It's amazing what you can come up with when you start with a clean sheet of paper."
Starting with a clean sheet of paper doesn't mean forgetting everything you've ever learnt. But it does mean not saddling yourself with the mistakes of the past - throwing good money after bad. And it does mean responding to today's - even better, tomorrow's - constraints and opportunities; not to search for solutions to obsolete problems.
So what if we applied clean-sheet planning to the nation's university system? There has been some grumbling lately, about squeezes in our funding lowering our standings in international league tables, and even about a "brain drain" of students heading off-shore. I am actually not too worried. On the latter matter: it seems that some parents in our affluent Eastern suburbs are thinking it rather chic to send their children off to Australia, in particular to Melbourne, the "Old Money" university which operates a pastiche of the Oxbridge college system.
Well, good ... luck to them. I can safely assure everyone else that your kids will be well looked after at home. How do I know this? Partly from personal experience. I've taught at some of the better universities and I know that - Oxford excepted - undergraduate education standards are at least as high here as there.
But if so, what is it then that makes these other places "better" than us? This is where our problem is, and our opportunity. The very best students at the best universities in the world are actually no better than the best students at Auckland Uni. Indeed some of them were the best undergrad students at Auckland, before they went off to Stanford or Cambridge or similar to do their PhD research. And underpinning this is the key difference: higher research standards for both the academic staff and the postgraduate students they attract.
So how might we in New Zealand crank up our hiring and admission standards to close this gap?
If we want to try; to cover that clean sheet of paper with a viable plan for an elite, national champion university, we should first, of course, study the top overseas institutions to figure out what they do differently from us.
We would at once find three big points of difference. First, and most striking, is how remarkably small they are. The University of Auckland has about 40,000 students. Harvard has just over half that - 21,000. Cambridge has 18,500; Stanford 11,000; Princeton just 7500 (and 30 Nobel laureates on its present and past faculty). Harvard has a US$32 billion ($40.9 billion) endowment and receives 10 applications for every student place. It could easily expand to match Auckland's size, but it chooses not to. Hmm ...
The second and third points are that all the top campuses have a much higher ratio of postgraduate to undergraduate students, and a higher (academic) staff/student ratio.
These two factors are mutually reinforcing and they clearly have a lot to do with having an overall smaller student body.
So here's the plan. We know for sure that we can't spend our way to elite status, even if the Government would give us the money, which they won't. But we don't need to. We don't need any more public funding, but we do need the Government to let us - the University of Auckland - put up our student fees - a lot. Then we would, as economists say, move up the demand curve, reducing student numbers (though with generous scholarships to assist students from poorer families) while maintaining academic staff size to boost the ratio. We would concurrently of course raise entrance standards, both academic and in English language fluency, which should be mandated for both native and ESOL speakers, so the shared discourse can be at a high level of literacy, which it isn't now. The result would be that the demand curve would actually shift up - nothing attracts very bright students more than the prospect of working with other very bright people.
Why Auckland University? Because one part of our past tradition we need to keep is the ideal of widespread general access to tertiary education, and only this city is large enough to offer this from other campuses (AUT, Massey) to free up its colleague (UoA) to go for National Champion status, to the benefit of all. The other universities, or the Manukau or Unitech polytechnics, could also assist our downsizing by taking over our Tamaki campus and the College of Education.
But wouldn't having an elite university be "elitist"? I'd charge people who say this with elitism themselves - there's nothing wrong with the education provided by AUT or Massey or the polys. It's just a matter of horses for courses.
If we implemented this plan we would leap-frog all the Aussie institutions. We'd have the good burghers of Melbourne clamouring to send their kids to Auckland. They'd be most welcome - if they met the standard.

Ron Rubick was the head football coach and Physical Education teacher at Lincoln High School for 32 years before losing his hard fought battle with cancer in 2009. His monumental on the field accomplishments will forever be dwarfed by the impact he had on the thousands of students he touched off the field during his lifetime. What truly made Ron a Champion was his honesty, integrity, and work ethic.

sparkling tea // drink this
i have a real sweet tooth. but during the week, i try my hardest to keep it in check and save the chocolate and sugar snacking for the weekend. that doesn't mean i don't crave something sweet, like… all day every day! so one afternoon i was searching for something healthy and came up with this little concoction. i didn't want plain hot tea, so i mixed the tea with pellegrino instead and a favorite new drink was born.
i also added a little agave nectar to sweeten it up a tiny bit. place that with the tea and sparkling water in an air tight container and refrigerate until cold.
once cold it's ready to serve. i really like my passion tea and am thinking this idea would probably only work with similar, fruity teas.
have you guys ever tried this? i'm not a big tea drinker but i will be making this often. let me know if you try as well and what your favorite tea to use is. enjoy!

Here is the secret to coming up with a pretty good slide layout for any situation:
- Give up on your ambition to make a highly sophisticated composition, instead treat every slide, every slide as a basic 2 dimensional grid.
- Identify what the one, (yes one), idea is that your slide should communicate and figure out what the "visual verb" of the point is: I am listing things, comparing things, showing a trend, showcasing things, showing a transition, mapping a process.
- Count your grid elements: I have 3 things to list (3x1), want to show 5 team members with a photo and a name (5x2), need to forecast across 10 years (10x1), compare 3 options across 5 dimensions (3x5)
- Decide the emphasis of each grid cell: a text/title box, smaller text, an image, a data column, a data bar, etc.
- Lay out your grid and rewrite, cut, polish your text until everything fits in nicely. If there are issues with fitting text in cells, go back to counting grid elements (maybe you can combine/split things), or reconsider the emphasis you have chosen.
My presentation app SlideMagic makes the above steps incredibly easy. The slide layouts that are suggested to you when you want to insert a slide probably cover 90% of concepts you will ever need.

About GSB
The Goleta School of Ballet was founded in 1986 by Artistic Director, Lisa Abshere. The school has grown considerably over the last 33 years but its fundamental goal has remained the same: to offer a solid foundation in classical ballet and is dedicated to teaching, at all levels, an appreciation, interest, and genuine fondness for music and dance. We believe ballet not only teaches discipline, coordination and commitment, but also delivers creative expression and accomplishment.
In Fall 2011, the Goleta School of Ballet opened its doors at a newly renovated location in Old Town Goleta. The studios at 303 Magnolia were built and designed for ballet with a lobby and two studios with sprung dance floors.
At Goleta School of Ballet students get both the benefit of classroom technique and performance experience. Performing is an important part of ballet and the Goleta School of Ballet places an emphasis on annual performances as part of the student's experience. With a strong classical ballet base, students perform in either The Nutcracker or The Nutcracker Tutu Suite in December, The Mixed Repertory Gala Program in February, a full-length ballet classic in the Spring or one of our Summer Workshop offerings.
Goleta School of Ballet is home to Goleta Ballet Theatre, a junior training company for young dancers. Students are invited on an individual basis to join the company. Students get a company-like atmosphere that prepares them to move into a professional school, company or college dance program.
Students in Goleta Ballet Theatre have been accepted into the following ballet programs: Pacific Northwest Ballet School, School of American Ballet, American Ballet Theatre Summer Intensive, Boston Ballet School, The Royal Ballet School, Houston Ballet Academy, San Francisco Ballet School, The Joffrey Ballet School, Pittsburg Ballet Theatre Trainee Program, Milwaukee Ballet School, Atlanta Ballet School, The Rock School, North Carolina School of the Arts, Charleston Ballet Theatre, DanceAspen Summer School, UC Irvine Dance Department, University of Utah Dance Department, UC Berkeley Dance Department, Barnard College

I argued in a post earlier this month that Noam Chomsky ought properly to be considered a conspiracy theorist rather than a political thinker. The particular example I gave was a comment about the terrorist Abu Nidal, from Chomsky's book Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel and the Palestinians, 1983, p. 78:
The PLO has charged that he [Abu Nidal] is an Israeli agent, noting that his operations "frequently serve Israeli interests indirectly," a charge that is "one of the assumptions you bear in mind" according to a French secret service specialist. It is generally assumed that he is supported by Iraq, sometimes Syria, where his offices are located and where he appears to have access to considerable funding.
One of my regular academic correspondents has kindly drawn my attention to a reference on this subject that I wasn't familiar with and am glad to pass on to my readers.
The notion that Abu Nidal was in reality an Israeli agent is devoid of empirical support. It rests entirely on the assertions of PLO spokesmen (i.e. Abu Nidal's enemies) and on the supposition that, because his actions were so conspicuously brutal (e.g. the Rome and Vienna airport atroicities) and hence counterproductive to winning sympathy for the Palestinian cause, they can only have been committed at the behest of the Israelis. It is, in short, pure conspiracy theory of a familiar form.
This conspiracy theory overlooks the obvious and plausible explanation that Abu Nidal committed horrific acts because he was a bloodthirsty, sadistic killer. He was, after all, unstable enough to destroy his own organisation, the Fatah Revolutionary Council, in 1987 through bloody purges and mass executions of its cadres in Libya. My correspondent points to a book by Yezid Sayigh, Armed Struggle and the Search for State: The Palestinian National Movement, 1949-1993, 1999, pp. 600-01, as reference to this episode. More generally, it's an object lesson in the difference between scholarly research in international politics and the type of groundless insinuations that are the staple of Professor Chomsky's writings in the field.

Pan's Labyrinth fans better get ready, because filmmaker Guillermo del Toro seems poised to have another creative return to form with his latest film, The Shape of Water.
Of course, that's not to say del Toro hasn't produced good work in the past several years, but in terms of pure artistic filmmaking, Pan's Labyrinth his something his later work has yet to even touch, so we can't wait to see what The Shape of Water will bring to the table.
Fox Searchlight has just released a brand new poster for the incoming film, and it's looking pretty great. Check it out below:
"From master storyteller, Guillermo del Toro, comes THE SHAPE OF WATER — an otherworldly fairy tale, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1962.In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa (Sally Hawkins) is trapped in a life of isolation.Elisa's life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer) discover a secret classified experiment.Rounding out the cast are Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Michael Stuhlbarg and Doug Jones."
What do you think of the latest poster? Let us know your thoughts down below!
The Shape of Water hits theaters on December 8, 2017.

Accommodation in Quito, Ecuador
These accommodations are located next door to the Academia Latinoamericana. They provide students shared and single rooms which include a lounge with a small tv-radio, a stoked kitchen & a fireplace.
Students can bring their own laptop and have free unlimited access to internet.
Easy access to public transportation, lots of restaurants and a very good one just across the street from the Academia and the student residence.
We are also very close to the Carolina Park, which is a large recreational park where Quito goes to relax outdoors. On weekends the park is buzzing with soccer matches, volleyball games, skateboarding, outdoor aerobic classes, paddleboats, family games and picnics. A botanical-orchid garden and dinosaur museum have also been recently added to the park.
Several of Quito's major shopping centers surround La Carolina including the Quicentro, Megamaxi, El Jardin, el Caracol and Inaquito. These shopping malls, as well as supermarkets, offer a variety of both local and imported goods. Going east we can also find the Metropolitan park – the biggest green area in Quito – which is a great place to go jogging, running and mountain biking while having a fantastic view of the valley of Quito.

- Annie Zippers Review by Melanie
I absolutely love the Annie zippers!!! I like that you can sew through them never breaking a needle. I like that you can cut them to any length you like and simply add another zipper pull.....making two zippers out of one! You can cut them to any length you'd like not wasting so much of your zipper! Making two projects with one zipper!!! Wow! Doesn't get any better that that!! You can also...add a different color of zipper pull to your zipper giving the project you've made a little extra pop!! I hope The Fat Quarter Shop will soon sell the extra zipper pulls! I am so happy to see they are selling these zippers now! I LOVE that the hole in the zipper pull is big enough to add whatever you'd like to it to making the opening of the zipper bag easier...or just adding a little extra touch to your project!! Like a little charm to the zipper hole! Whatever you like! The possibilities with these zippers are endless!! They come in so many colors! And!! Did I mention that you don't even need to put a zipper foot on to put these zippers in! Give them a try! You won't be sorry!! I LOVE LOVE them!!

RETROFLEX can now reveal the second artist for our mammoth event on Saturday 16th July! This guest is a true vinyl crusader, from early beginnings as a rare groove and funk DJ, through forays into acid house and then working at legendary record shop ZOOM, show-stopping sets at every major techno club & festival around the world, record production and label management, plus previously running one of London's most well loved techno club nights.
Today he still supports the vinyl scene with his Brighton record shop 'THE VINYL CURTAIN', and continues to light up dancefloors at some of the most prestigious events and infamous clubs around the world dropping twelve inch bombs. He is a massive contributor to the history of the dance scene and is quite simply a legend.
With a trusty box of records he mixed the inaugural volume of the seminal 'JOURNEYS BY DJ'S' series, gaining him entry into the Guinness Book Of Records for being the first DJ to produce a commercially available mix CD.
Over more than 25 years he has cemented himself into DJ history with his tireless commitment to touring his sound around the globe, showcasing his relentless DJ sets and building his two universally recognised labels: TORTURED and ELECTRIX. Also his London based club night 'OPEN TO TORTURE 'at the world famous but now defunct 'THE END' club featured some of the best techno DJ's and acts in the world at the time, gaining him international recognition as a club promoter.
His own productions have always caused waves under different guises including SHI-TAKE (with Dave Wesson) or VINYL BLAIR (with Chemical Brothers engineer Steve Dub), and more recently his partnership with Keith Tenniswood (aka Radioactive Man) as RADIONASTY has received universal acclaim from the dance scene for slick productions and bombastic beats.
While currently keeping his eye firmly on the future of techno, his sets during the 1990's at events such as Final Frontier, Tribal Gathering, Dance Valley, The Drum Club and Strutt will always remain in the hearts of the techno faithful as some of the most pioneering at the time. He has very kindly agreed to join us at RETROFLEX for a special set to relive this golden era for our all 90's, all vinyl party, and we're sure he's going to tear the dancefloor up in his inimitable style that gained him global recognition over all these years.
Party people please welcome: BILLY NASTY!!!

Chapter 6 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.42 And they did all eat, and were filled.43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
Chapter 7 1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

In April, I'm going to be giving a talk called **English 2.0 - Understanding the Language of Developers" to a group of English teachers. The purpose is in two hours to give them a quick background in key concepts so that they can better understand developer blogs and podcasts and are able to ask better questions when talking to developers.
What do you think are the most important concepts to understand, concepts that developers take for granted but the general public is not familiar with? Here are a few ideas:
- version control
- abstractions
- pub/sub
- push vs. pull
- debugging
- modularity
- three-tier architecture
- class/object
- "spaghetti code" vs. OOP
- exception throwing
- crowd sourcing
- refactoring
- the cloud
- DRY - don't repeat yourself
- client/server
- unit testing
- designer/developer


text: Remember when I told you about how we were painting and wallpapering the bedroom (see here)? Only a few months on and it's pretty much finished now. After the wallpaper was on and the paint was dry, we positioned the bed so that the busy wallpaper would be on the head end of the bed. This way we'll never wake up and feel totally overwhelmed by the pattern; I like it quite calm and peaceful in the bedroom. Next in were the Kartell cabinets which we decided were a cool alternative to classic bedside tables. They are great for storage but once you close the doors, the messiness behind is hidden away instantly. We continued by adding some lovely white sheets, cushions, a blankie and even threw in a little fake fur to turn the bed into a cosy little "island". But one of the coolest items, which was added only a couple of days ago, are the antlers on the side. Originally they were designed to serve as coat hook but I think they are so stylish, you really don't want to cover them up at all. So now they are our bedroom art. I am really happy with how it turned out in the end!!

The Samsung Exynos 9 chip offers dual-camera systems. Will this chip be used in all the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 or will it be saved for another?
The concept of dual cameras is not new as even HTC Evo 3D in 2011 came with two rear cameras and now a handful of flagship phones including the Asus Zenfone AR, LG G6, iPhone 7 Plus also have two cameras at the back.
This feature offers several benefits. The iPhone 7 Plus cameras provides a great depth of field (the "bokeh" effect). On the other hand, the upcoming LG G6's second rear camera offers a 120-degree wide-angle lens to capture more in each shot. Samsung is to announce yet a dual camera phone, but it may change now as the company's in-house chip manufacturer is giving full support.
There were rumors of Samsung Galaxy S8 of getting the Exynos 9 chip and to have dual cameras, but the leaks were not confirmed. The Galaxy S8 announcement will be on March 29 and one can know the number of cameras the phone will have.
In case, Galaxy S8 does not come with dual cameras, the successor to the Galaxy Note 7 disastrous might feature it. After faulty batteries of the Note 7 it led to two different recalls, and Samsung may cut out new plans to regain consumer confidence. However, Samsung revealed the idea to launch a Galaxy Note 8, regardless of its predecessor's unfortunate fate.

JNN 02 Jan 2013 Moscow : At least 14 people have been killed and 20 others were injured when a bomb ripped apart a trolleybus in the Russian city of Volgograd, investigators said.
Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova said the patients were in "a bad condition with burns, with multiple injuries typical of blast-induced wounds".
The blast comes a day after 17 people died in another suicide attack at the central station in the city.
President Vladimir Putin ordered tighter security nationwide after the morning rush-hour blast.
Moscow is concerned that militants could be ramping up violence in the run-up to the 2014 winter Olympic Games in the city of Sochi in February
Investigators said they believed a male suicide bomber set off the blast, a day after a similar attack killed at least 17 in the main rail station of a city that serves as a gateway to the southern wedge of Russian territory bounded by the Black and Caspian Seas and the Caucasus mountains.
The bomb used was packed with "identical" shrapnel to that in the rail station, indicating they may have been made in the same place and supporting suspicions the bombings were linked, said Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for the investigators.

Chelsea + Chaz
We are finally back to blogging! We took a month long hiatus during our craziest wedding season yet! 7 Weddings this month, plus Bridal Market! It was hectic, but so much fun!
We are so happy to share one of our sweetest weddings this year, Chelsea + Chaz! We got to help this amazing couple plan, and do their flowers! They wanted their wedding to be romantic, laid back, and fun filled. They chose the Roundhouse Railroad Museum, one of our favorite venues here in Savannah! There are so many themes you can do at the Roundhouse, from rustic and southern, to soft and elegant. Chelsea chose a color palate of soft blushes, ivory, and gray, which were striking against the historic brickwork of the blacksmith shop and gardens. We got to work with some amazing vendors, like Rach Loves Troy, All About You, Beyond Beautiful by Heather, and so many others! Scroll through to see this gorgeous wedding!
When it came to her flowers, Chelsea wanted a variety of flowers, and really loved gerber daisies! So we created a bouquet complete with daisies, anemones, succulents and baby's breath. The pop of colors went perfect with her classic lace mermaid gown, and long tulle train. Chelsea is breathtaking, so Heather of Beyond Beautiful by Heather did a natural look, with a slightly smokey eye, and soft up-do.
For her bridesmaids, we created daisy bouquets, and they went perfect with their blush chiffon gowns. The groomsmen wore gray suits, with matching pink ties and daisy boutonniere's.
They had both their ceremony + reception in the blacksmith shop, a gorgeous space lined with brick, and features a large vaulted ceiling. They wanted their ceremony backdrop to be a wall of lights, and we LOVED the look! It added such a gorgeous glow to the room, and ended up being the perfect setting for their vows.
Chelsea and Chaz did their first pictures around the grounds at the Roundhouse Railroad Museum, which has so many places to explore! They have vintage trains, which make such a fun place for pictures, and their grounds feature brick walls, well manicured lawns, and even a giant smokestack!
The wall of lights worked perfect as the ceremony backdrop, as well as the DJ backdrop during the reception! For their centerpieces, they wanted to keep the look simple and elegant, with the focus being on the gorgeous wooden tables available at The Roundhouse. They had lace runners, with lanterns surrounded by soft flowers, succulents, and milk vases.

In November we reported that Farrah had her breasts done, going from an A cup to a C.
I think the whole point of getting big boobs is to also get some cleavage going along with it. Somehow it seems as though many plastic surgeons are unable to accomplish that. But as long as Farrah likes her new look, that's all that matters.There's no need for her to pull a Deena Nicole Cortese, cause her bikini bottom looks like it's about to fall right off. Her breasts also look like they're trying to run off in opposite direction

A 1.1-trillion-ton iceberg has broken off Antarctica, and scientists say it's one of the largest ever recorded
from Business Insider,
- Antarctica has shed an iceberg that's big enough to fill Lake Erie more than two times.
- It weighs about 1 trillion metric tons.
- It may be the third-largest iceberg recorded since satellites began taking photos of Earth.
- Human activity most likely isn't responsible for this event, but carbon emissions are driving other changes to Antarctic ice.

What is wrong with you people in Harris County, Texas?
A girl lies that a particular boy raped her, then the girl's father stabs the boy, but the sheriff isn't sure if she'll be charged for making a false report? What in the hell is wrong with you?
And what in the hell is wrong with KHOU? You identify the falsely accused boy who was stabbed by name; you identify the father by name; but you continue to protect the girl by not mentioning her name? Come again?
Get it straight: the liar was not a victim of a sexual assault; she should be behind bars for doing a thing that may be worse than rape.
She hurt an innocent person whose only crime was that he fit the stereotype of the typical rapist -- he was male. You need to get your head out of the feminist sexual milieu and report this evildoer's name.
Here is the story:
Sheriff: Spring girl lied about rape that led to student's stabbing
11:27 AM CDT on Saturday, May 31, 2008
SPRING, Texas -- The Harris County Sheriff's Office said Friday that a Spring teen's accusations that she had been raped by a classmate that led to a boy's stabbing was a lie.
Last month, 17-year-old Joshua Chapa was stabbed near the lobby of Wunsche High School in Spring ISD by the father of the girl who claimed she had been raped. Ruben-Cuellar Roma faces charges related to that stabbing.
Roma's daughter claimed that she had been raped while at a house party in late April. The father was at the school the following Monday to talk to school administrators about the alleged sexual assault when Chapa was stabbed.
Sheriff's investigators said the girl retracted the story this week saying that she lied about the rape to avoid getting in trouble for going to the party.
There was no word if investigators would pursue charges against the teen for making a false report.

Girl's lie about rape led to stabbing of boy falsely accused -- but no word if the girl will be charged for making a false report? Excuse me?

Naomh Conaill and St Eunan's the big game in quarter-final draw
The clash of Naomh Conaill, the defending champions, and St Eunan's, the previous year's winners, is the big game in the quarter-finals of the Michael Murphy Sports and Leisure Donegal Senior Championship.
They were the last two names out of the draw drum at Monday night's championship draw in the Villa Rose Hotel in Ballybofey.
A repeat of last year's final, it is the plum tie of the four quarter-finals that will see Glenswilly face Sean MacCumhaill's, Kilcar face Termon and Dungloe face Malin.
Naomh Conaill are one of the form teams and won their three group games in Group D to qualify for the last eight.
The side managed by Martin Regan and Martin Doherty are the only team in all four groups to win all three group games.
St Eunan's, with two wins and a draw, are also unbeaten but ended up in second place in Group B, behind Kilcar, on score average.
St Eunan's and Kilcar drew in their first round meeting and they both recorded wins over Killybegs and St Michael's.
Naomh Conaill and St Eunan's also met in the 2012 final with St Eunan's shading the result on that occasion. St Eunan's won that final by the minimum margin on a 1-7 to 0-9 scoreline.
Glenswilly bounced back from losing their first round game away to Ardara with wins over Dungloe, in the second round, and Bundoran last weekend in the third round.
The return of Neil Gallagher against Dungloe and Michael Murphy for last weekend's clash with Bundoran, in Gaelic Park, had major bearings on the outcome of both games.
Glenswilly may be struggling in the league and are in relegation bother but with their two All-Stars fit and playing well, the championship odds on the 2013 champions have shortened considerably this week.
Sean MacCumhaill's finished second to Malin in Group C, with two wins from their three games. They pipped Naomh Muire for the second spot with victories over Glenfin and the men from the Lower Rosses.
Kilcar, Division One table toppers, will be strong favourites to advance to semi-final against Termon, after chalking up big wins over St Michael's and Killybegs and drawing with St. Eunan's.
Termon have been the giant killers of the 2016 championship so far with their shock second round win over Gaoth Dobhair. They defeated a star laden Gaoth Dobhair by five points, 1-11 to 0-9, at the Burn Road.
And they followed up last weekend with a narrow two point win over Four Masters, also at the Burn Road
They suffered a heavy first round defeat to Naomh Conaill, in Davy Brennan Memorial Park.
Dungloe, with wins over Bundoran and Ardara, ended up second to Glenswilly on score difference, who also won two games and finished up on four points.
Meanwhile, the draw was also made for the relegation play-offs on Monday night.
Glenfin face Four Masters and Ardara play Killybegs. The winners of those ties retain their senior championship status while the losing sides playing-off to determine the one relegation place.
The draw for the Senior B Championship sees St Eunan's face Glenfin, MacCumhaill's face Ardara, Naomh Conaill face Kilcar and Dungloe face Gaoth Dobhair.
The four quarter- finals and the two relegation playoff games are due to be played on the weekend of Saturday September 24th and Sunday 25th.
The times and venues to be fixed by the Donegal CCC who are due to meet at the end of this week.
The quarter-finals in the Intermediate and Intermediate B Championships and the Intermediate relegation play-offs were also drawn.
In the intermediate championship, high flying Milford, who have already have won promotion to Division 1 for next season, have been drawn against Naomh Brid.
Aodh Ruadh, pace setters in Division Three, will face Naomh Ultan; Burt will face Cloughaneely and Naomh Columba have been drawn against St Naul's.
In the Intermediate relegation play-offs Buncrana face Naomh Colmcille and the losers of that tie will face Carndonagh.
The quarter-finals and the relegation play-offs in the Intermediate Championship are also due to be played on the weekend of Saturday September 24th and Sunday 25th, with venues and time to be decided.
The weekend of September 24th/25th promises to be a busy one as the two semi-finals in Junior A are also due to be played that weekend also.
The semi-finals of the senior championship are due to be played on October 1st/2nd with the final due to be played on Sunday October 16th.
The Junior A final has been fixed for the weekend of October 1st/2nd with the Intermediate final fixed for Sunday October 9th.

> I need to read the attributes of a element anyway, and I also need to sort > them using the attribute name and the namespace uri as sort keys. This is > the minimum requirement in all cases. I just wanted to show that your suggestion was worst than the one in the draft because you have to be carefull about namespace prefixes used in attributes values. Your suggestion was to put namespaces only when they are used, my question is then: how do you know a prefix is used in an attribute value? For that, you need to know all the prefixes in scope so you need to walk on the tree to get the namespaces prefixes, and then do a really difficult parsing job... No matter how you are doing it, you need all the namespace declarations in scope for each element. The january draft of C14n was easier on this point since it didn't care about prefixes in attribute values. DavidReceived on Wednesday, 14 June 2000 17:06:11 UTC

Going into Tuesday night's action, 19 of the 30 teams in Major League Baseball had a winning percentage between .450 and .550 [edit note: going into Thursday, the number of teams that fit this criteria is still at 19, but the Orioles have joined the pack, while the Phillies have fallen off the bottom end of the spectrum; this article was written before the record changes]. Given that the majority of the league is barely breaking even at the moment, these aren't completely arbitrary cutoffs: The Nationals went into Tuesday challenging the Braves for first place, while the Padres are in the basement in their division.
This cannot go on forever, of course; usually around 12-14 teams finish in the .450-.550 winning percentage range, not 19. That means that the divisional races around baseball -- which kind of look like the grouped-up beginnings of a horse race -- are more than likely to sort themselves out, with some of the teams muddling around .500 establishing themselves as winners and others doing the opposite. With the exception of the Rockies (whose resurgence I wrote about just last week), we'll take a quick look at each team in the pack's uncommonly popular middle and whether or not they'll pull ahead, hold steady or fall behind.
Washington Nationals -- Hold Steady
The rotation has been extremely concerning for Washington so far, and not just because Doug Fister's long-awaited Nationals debut on May 9 fell about as flat as it possibly could. A Nationals team with a mediocre rotation is not a Nationals team making the playoffs in the current NL East. It's a Nationals team sitting at home again in October after vastly underperforming the talent on the roster.
Seattle Mariners -- Fall Behind
When I picked the Mariners' rotation as a dark horse for best in the league, I did so with the assumption that Taijuan Walker, James Paxton and Hisashi Iwakuma would be mainstays in it. Walker is hurt, and Paxton and Iwakuma have combined for only four (promising) starts so far. King Felix, rookie Roenis Elias and the pitching Chris Young have been fantastic in their stead, but they can only do so much given Seattle's position-player woes. Robinson Cano has been unable to hit for power since coming to Seattle, the team's outfield is a confusing disaster and shortstop Brad Miller is playing himself out of the starting lineup while Abraham Almonte has already been demoted back to Triple-A.
Los Angeles Dodgers -- Pull Ahead
The Dodgers have the sixth-best team OPS+ in the league while scoring only the 17th most runs per game. Regardless what your feelings are about Dee Gordon legitimately contending for the NL batting title, even without him the Dodgers offense is legit and will start turning that production into runs sooner rather than later. It helps that Clayton Kershaw is back after missing all of April with upper back soreness, because Kershaw is the best pitcher in MLB until proven otherwise.
Boston Red Sox -- Pull Ahead
Like the Dodgers, the Red Sox are going to pull away from this pack as the season stretches on into summer. Unlike the Dodgers, the Red Sox have been hitting poorly. It's not the most shocking thing in the world that Daniel Nava, Mike Carp and Shane Victorino haven't been able to sustain last year's production, but the Sox pitching staff is both excellent and healthy, while the rest of the AL East isn't looking too mighty themselves. The Sox have the additional advantage of a bunch of high-level near-MLB ready arms to test out in the back of the rotation if Doubront and Buchholz continue to falter; having the top farm system in MLB has its perks.
New York Yankees -- Hold Steady
The Yankees' stock has fallen a bit recently thanks to injuries and unexpectedly-lackluster performance by key players. This is hardly surprising, considering Yankees batters in 2014 average 32.9 years in age (oldest in MLB) while their pitchers average 29.6 (eighth oldest in MLB). With Sabathia on the DL, Nova gone for the year, and Kuroda finally looking like a 39-year-old on the mound -- and planned utility man Yangervis Solarte the most reliable hitter on the team with over 100 PA -- New York could be in for another year of just staying afloat. But the Yankees have made starting slow and heating up in the middle of the year into almost an annual ritual, so we'll see.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim -- Hold Steady
Albert Pujols looks like Albert Pujols again -- as did Josh Hamilton before his ill-advised headfirst base-running adventure -- while Chris Iannetta and Howie Kendrick are quietly having great seasons too. There's also that Trout guy in the outfield. Much like last year, however, the Angels will live or die by their pitching, and both of the new arms acquired for the rotation over the offseason -- Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs -- have underperformed the teams' hopes so far (especially Santiago with 5.09 ERA in 35.1 IP). Watching Skaggs's starts, you get the feeling he's pretty close to putting it all together, but who knows if that will happen in time to help the Angels in 2014 -- or if it'll happen at all.
Texas Rangers -- Hold Steady
Prince Fielder has been clawing his way back out of the pit he dug for himself in April, but the main problem with the Rangers so far is that their rotation is Yu Darvish, Matt Harrison (who has only been back with the team for three starts, albeit good ones) and a roller-coaster ride. After only allowing six runs in his first five starts, Martin Perez has allowed 19 in his last three -- and after Perez*, the rotation is currently an uninspiring combination of post-injury Colby Lewis and Robbie Ross. [Edit note: This was written before the injury news to Perez and Harrison.] This would be easier to stomach if anyone other than Shin-Soo Choo had hit the ball with authority across a meaningful number of plate appearances this season. It's hard to pick against a Jon Daniels team, but it gets easier when Choo is the only everyday player on the team with an OPS over .800.
Miami Marlins -- Fall Behind
This team was a lot more intriguing before Jose Fernandez suffered a sprain in his throwing elbow that might end his season. Without Fernandez, the rotation is two possible mirages in Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez; an almost certain mirage in Tom Koehler; and some combination of Kevin Slowey and prospects at the back end. The Marlins offense has been pretty decent this year, but the team as a whole was already over-performing -- and now they've just lost a Cy Young candidate.
St. Louis Cardinals -- Pull Ahead
The Cardinals don't look like the Cardinals this year, which is what happens when a team's MVP-finalist second baseman morphs into a singles-hitting third baseman and their All-Star first baseman moonlighting in right field begins hitting like a glove-first shortstop. Given the past history of everyone involved -- this team was in the National League Championship Series last year with most of these same regulars -- it seems safe to bet the Cards will turn it around at the plate. A more pressing concern is the bullpen, where only Pat Neshek seems capable of throwing a shutdown inning this year.
Kansas City Royals -- Hold Steady
The Royals have not fielded a team that was a credible threat at the plate since Dayton Moore took over in 2006, and there's no particular reason to believe this year is going to be any different. Kansas City looks like it'll once again noodle around .500 in the AL Central -- on the outside of the Wild Card hunt looking in -- and at this point, the onus is on the Royals to prove otherwise. Ending the Mike Moustakas experiment would be a good start.
Toronto Blue Jays -- Fall Behind
Someone has to lose the AL East, and smart money is on the team with the worst pitching in any given year. For a long time, that was unquestionably the Orioles; now it's unquestionably the Blue Jays, despite the front office's sweeping attempts to change that in the trade market. Mark Buehrle won't keep doing this all season -- or if he does, he'll be doing it somewhere else come late July.
New York Mets -- Fall Behind
The Mets' one-two punch of being unable to hit for power and unable to find a reliever who can throw a clean inning to save his life has put a damper on any enthusiasm there might have been surrounding the club out of the gate. The Mets have a couple neat pitching prospects on the way, to be sure. Rafael Montero and Jacob deGrom were just called up, while Noah Syndergaard -- one of the best starting prospects in baseball -- won't be too far behind. But the only thing they're going to be able to do about the fact that the Mets are slugging .350 as a team through Monday's games is maybe help lower it to .349.
Chicago White Sox -- Hold Steady
Despite promising beginnings to the year, their fortunes have been clouded by their ace pitcher going down with an elbow injury. Chris Sale is just now being scheduled for rehab starts in the minor leagues, almost a month after being put on the 15-day Disabled List for elbow soreness. The White Sox certainly have more going for them than just Sale -- Jose Abreu continues to lead the MLB in home runs -- but until he gets back, the Chicago rotation is one of the least-inspiring units in the game. And unfortunately, this probably isn't the last we've heard of Sale's elbow soreness.
Cleveland Indians -- Hold Steady
Last season was fairly magical for the Cleveland Indians for a number of reasons: breakout offensive stars like Jason Kipnis, feel-good stories like Scott Kazmir and that whole weird thing with Ryan Raburn putting up an OPS over .900. Unfortunately the White Sox seem to have that magic bottled at the moment -- at least at the plate -- and the Indians rotation is once again a collection of uninspiring back-of-the-rotation types, with some half-hearted attempts to pretend Justin Masterson is an actual staff ace. Michael Brantley's hot start is worth watching, though.
Cincinnati Reds -- Hold Steady
The Reds welcome back closer Aroldis Chapman this week, but the real story in Cincinnati is that ace Johnny Cueto has quietly thrown the most innings (63.0 IP) at the lowest ERA (1.43) in MLB this season. If the Reds could keep all their guys healthy -- starter Mat Latos still hasn't returned from the disabled list, while outfielder Jay Bruce will miss at least the next month thanks to knee surgery -- maybe the Brewers wouldn't be stepping quite so hard on the NL Central's collective throat. As it is, they're at least a .500 team.
Minnesota Twins -- Fall Behind
Minnesota spent over $80 million on starting pitching this offseason, and their best starter so far is Phil Hughes. Brian Dozier's been a hero for the team so far this year with nine home runs through May 12, but the Twins' record stands a good chance of catching up with their performance (and general talent level) fairly shortly, and it won't be pretty when it does. At least someone's giving Sam Fuld playing time.
Philadelphia Phillies -- Hold Steady
The Phillies are in the middle of their contention window's one last hurrah before slamming shut. Veterans Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Carlos Ruiz and Marlon Byrd are putting up great offensive numbers, but they're still mucking around below .500 thanks to a disastrous beginning to the season from Cole Hamels, the back of the Philly rotation and the bullpen. Hamels will probably get his business sorted, and it's hard to imagine the bullpen could remain this bad for an entire season, but the team will likely hold steady around or just under .500.
San Diego Padres -- Hold Steady
It hasn't been a great year for the Padres so far. The entire starting infield -- which contains two previously-exciting young players with promise (Jedd Gyorko and Yonder Alonso), a guy who appeared to turn a corner last season (Everth Cabrera) and the face of the franchise (Chase Headley) -- has an OPS somewhere south of .550. The outfield is hitting the cover off the ball when they get up to bat, and both Andrew Cashner and Tyson Ross are giving reasons for cautious optimism, but without the infield getting its act together, San Diego will be stuck in a holding pattern for fourth all year long.

I dropped off my girls at daycare and school, came home, shut the door behind me and just stood there feeling the stillness of the house. It had been two full weeks of one or both of the girls being home sick. Two weeks of working at home and from home with kids buzzing around me, snotty nosed and needing more attention than usual.
What to do first? The pile of dishes? Get onto my business to-do list? It was such a beautiful, unseasonably warm, and sunny day and I hadn't had any time alone in so long. My whole body ached for some solitude. I grabbed my stuff and went outside to the kid's trampoline.
I hopped up and felt the sun heating my back, the warm but crisp wintery air on my cheeks. I tuned in to my breath and let it guide my body through some organic movement until I felt like getting still for meditation. Every time my mind got busy I was brought back by the magpies in song. Ideas started flowing for my business and I opened my eyes to begin writing. I stopped and lay in the sun a good long time. With my eyes closed I could see the sun through my lids and feel the ever deepening crinkles around my eyes squinting, but I felt like a kid again, not a care in the world. In the next moment I was brought to a memory of being a twenty-something on vacation, only responsible for myself. It was hard dragging myself off that trampoline and back into the Realm of Responsibility.
A few nights later I was off to meet up with some American friends in the city. On the train ride into Adelaide I listened to part of a course I'm taking online. When the train pulled in to the city I switched over to Spotify and clicked on the playlist I had titled "Fun." Waiting for the tram I listened to Missy Eliot and Pink. My mind got quiet again as I stepped off the tram and into the city streets. My step quickened with the beat of the music. I looked down and realized I was wearing the jacket I bought in Milan eight years ago, now too small around the bosom because of breastfeeding these past 5 years. I was transported back to that time when I explored new city streets alone at night. The walk to the restaurant was almost too short. I wished I could walk right back into that old life.
To be alone again. Care free. No responsibility.
There was a time in my life when I was single and living alone that I had many lonely nights. Many nights I wished for companionship other than my cats. Many nights of isolation while everyone else had plans. I reminded myself often that I should cherish this time because I knew so many mothers of young children who would love just one night in my shoes. Alone. But those thoughts didn't stop the lonely feelings.
All these years later and I look back on how life has changed—how I've become what I swore I never would. Someone who throws some clothes on haphazardly, gets the kids in the car to take them to school and suddenly realises she hasn't eaten when her stomach starts rumbling. Someone who promises herself she's going to start walking again, but never follows through. Someone who swears she'll take a break to walk the 200 meters down to the bench overlooking the ocean, but forgets while getting lost in Facebookland instead.
That's me. Someone who's lost connection to her Self. Someone who's lost herself in Motherhood.
Though lately I've been listening more to the voice inside that tells me I can't keep going like this. The longing for silence has gotten louder. I can no longer ignore the desire to go inward to get to know this new version of myself—the Mother, the Wife, the woman letting go of her youth and going into middle age.
Though the question is not so much "who am I?" Because I am the child soaking up the sun. I am the twenty-something vacationing at the beach. I am the thirty year old walking through the streets of Europe. I am the Mother, the Wife, the Aging Woman. The question is more: "How am I going to get back in touch with my Essence every single day?"
So often when Life sweeps us off our feet and we get carried away, we lose connection to that part of ourselves that is timeless. But it's always there. That is the journey I'm on. The journey back to that which was never lost.

On Monday, the legal team representing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford will be back in court trying to keep him in office.
That's when Ford will launch an appeal of his conviction on conflict of interest charges.
"I'm going to go to the appeal on Monday and we'll take it from there," Ford said Friday.
In November Justice Charles Hackland ruled Ford broke the rules of the Municipal Act and should be removed from office.
The judge stayed the order, allowing Ford time to appeal.
That appeal will be heard on Monday.
Ford's troubles date back to 2010 when he used city letterhead to raise money from lobbyists for his football charity.
On several occasions the city's integrity commissioner ordered Ford to pay back the $3,150 he had raised.
Ford steadfastly refused.
Later he participated in a debate when the matter was discussed at council and then voted on the matter.
The judge said that was a clear conflict.
On Monday, Ford's lawyer will argue the judge made errors in his decision.
The three Appeal Court judges will then consider their ruling, which is expected to be delivered sometime in early February.
Municipal law expert John Mascarin, says he doesn't think Ford's appeal will succeed.
"I think it's going to be very difficult for Mayor Ford's legal team to convince the judge that there was errors of law that should overturn the original decision."
Mascarin said in an interview with CBC News that Alan Lenczner, Ford's lawyer, will have an uphill struggle in presenting his arguments.
"(N)ot only does he have to convince the judges that (Justice Hackland) was wrong, but that the error of law was significant enough to overturn the decision," Mascarin said. "I'll be in court on Monday," Ford said.
But if he loses the appeal Ford has wavered when asked if he prefers a byelection for mayor or having someone appointed by council.
Whatever happens, Ford says, he'll be in the midst of the fight.
"I guarantee I'll be running in the next municipal election whether it's a byelection, or be it the 2014 election. I guarantee my name will be on that ballot for mayor."

Down to the Wire: Upi's Fight for Survival
McGraw-Hill, 1990 - 429 pagina's
Today, in the aftermath of UPI's tragic plummet, it is still hard to believe that a journalistic institution with a tradition of excellence so hard earned and well deserved could have been allowed to self-destruct and almost disappear. The authors- who together have a combined forty-three years of experience at UPI- tell a stunning, insiders' tale of intrigue, mismanagement, financial gymnastics, greed, and lust for power. The story, spiced with heroics and betrayals, comedy, and pathos, provides an extraordinary glimpse into how UPI was dragged from the ranks of the world's media giant. -- Book Jacket
