I have so much to say...Kudos on looking elsewhere! I have so much to say about choosing a doctor/midwife. It really is the most important decision you will make in the long haul of your birth (besides the choice of birth location). When you talk to friends about his having a "nice bedside manner" make sure you know EXACTLY what they liked about him....what where their birth experiences like? They might have loved him because his methods aligned with their birth preferences, which might be 180 degrees away from yours. Get the nitty gritty details from their birth stories and make sure your priorities align.

Then, ask him as well. Don't wait until the 8th month to hand the doc your birth plan...talk openly now about your wishes in childbirth. Ask specifics. If you ask "how often do you do episiotomy" and you get back "I do episiotomy only when it is necessary" consider that an inadequate response. Turn back with "and how often do you find it necessary?"

He works for you. Hire him like you'd hire anyone else.

Finally, you might be interested in seeing a birth story about an AMAZING doc in San Diego...check out this post from Navelgazing Midwife about "Dr. Wonderful".

Why don't you find a MIDWIFE you like??? Dare I suggest it?

We don't listen in to the baby's heartbeat in England until about 16 weeks - it's too hard for us to find with our little sonicaid & women freak out if we can't find the heartbeat almost immediately. We also only do 2 ultrasound scans in pregnancy - mostly because we don't know anything much about how they affect a fetus. Less is more, so to speak.

This plugin looks awesome!
WooThemes, one of the well-known sources for premium WordPress themes just recently released a brand new product called WooDojo. This product is a WordPress plugin that works as a "functionality suite" that adds additional functionalities to any WordPress theme on any WordPress installation.
Custom Code
Login Branding
WooDojo is an awesome plugin because not only does it add functionalities to any existing WordPress theme but it also eliminates the need for using separate/multiple plugins for those functionalities. The features listed above are only the ones available for version 1 of the plugin but WooThemes ninjas are already working on new features that will be made available in the coming weeks.
I've already downloaded a copy of WooDojo but yet have to try it but I'm sure it's gonna be a very useful tool for any WordPress user. The timing of the release of WooDojo is just right because I'm planning on doing a theme reboot and I hope to be able to use and integrate this plugin into my WordPress installation.
Head over to the official WooDojo page to download a copy of this awesome plugin.
What do you think of WooTheme's latest product – WooDojo? What other features would you like to see added in future updates of the plugin? Please share your thoughts.

It's got a lot of bugs. I'd give it a drift before I actually try it on my blogs. The guys are Woothemes are still ironing some minor problems.
May 4, 2012 at 7:23 PM
@Jack – oh really? I haven't tried it yet so I don't know if it has bugs. yes, it's good to try out plugins on a demo blog or sandbox first before implementing on a live site.
btw, i think its gonna take a while before they can fix the bugs on WooDojo as they are very busy fixing/restoring their website after it was attacked.

Now is a perfect time to find discount airfare to Costa Rica.
Costa Rica is consistently one of the hottest vacation and adventure-travel destinations in Latin America, with more than a million visitors each year. Despite the boom in vacationers, Costa Rica remains a place rich in natural wonders and biodiversity, where you can still feel far from the maddening crowds. The country boasts a wealth of unsullied beaches that stretch for miles, small lodgings that haven't attracted hordes of tourists, jungle rivers for rafting and kayaking, and spectacular cloud and rainforests with ample opportunities for bird-watching and hiking. In addition to the country's trademark eco- and adventure tourism offerings, a handful of large luxury resorts and golf courses have opened in recent years and more are on the way.

(by: Felipe Ramirez; Translated by: Daniel Gutiérrez)
Note: On September 8th, a bomb blew up in a metro station of Santiago, Chile. Although the city has witnessed more than 200 explosions over the last five years, this was the first time in which the targets were civilians—until now all the bombs attacks had been directed towards "symbolic targets" as banks, churches, and police stations. However, both the hour of the explosion (2:30pm) and the place were the bomb was left (one of the most transited metro station in Santiago) made this terrorist attack the most serious one. The blast injured 14 people, one of who—a female janitor who had direct contact with the bomb, which was put in a trashcan—lost several fingers of his hand. Even though three people were accused three weeks ago, the investigations are still in progress.
In this article the libertarian journalist Felipe Ramirez examines the incident, developing a lucid analysis of different hypothesis that might explain the terrorist attack. Then he concludes with some reflections on the role that the Left should play before incidents like this.

I have owned a copy of the guide A Texas Guide to Haunted Restaurants, Taverns and Inns by Robert Wlodarski and Anne Powell Wlodarski for quite a number of years. Neglect paying a whole bunch of dollars for a couple hours at Blizzard Seashore; the Seaside Club pool is an attraction in and of itself. What is our greatest choice to get to the airport with enough time to make our flight. The most effective one will depend in your budget and the way lengthy you want this trip from airport to lodge to take. Many low-cost motels in Bangkok's Pratunam district are actually quite a great value. Then in fact you may take the boat right to the favored Hollywood Studios and even the Swan and Dolphin Resorts for dinner.
The poor resort are going to marvel why so many people are requesting room 4101 hastily lol. Along the back and facet of the pool you can walk on the boardwalk set on Lake Eloise. I know the other motels are on the westside of the island, but should you aren't afraid of a little rain and wish to be near the volcano, you need to stay here. The ERL ready platform at KLIA2 isn't enclosed aside from a small room that's air-conditioned. I am seeing glassy skyscrapers going up alongside crumbling, rundown buildings; slums are getting taken down in entrance of my eyes in an effort to make room for brand new improvement; roads are being paved; and proper now's definitely an exciting time, in an adventurous form of method for an expat to be residing in Luanda.
Our mother and father did have some issues getting their room key to work on a couple of occasions, and they did get the technicians in to repair the issue, however ours did behave itself thankfully. Level 1M: Airport hyperlink-bridge that connects KLIA2 major terminal building to Tune Lodge. When you're travelling to Italy along with your dog from a rustic outside the EU, you will have a European Community Veterinary Certificate for each pet travelling with you. It was this swimming pool that was largely the unique attraction for my parents, (particularly my Stepfather who is a eager swimmer).
And there's sufficient room to park your golf cart alongside your car as nicely, do you have to choose to rent a cart throughout your stay. Motels are located within the city center and a room will set you (or your employer) back about $400 an evening. Our first mission was to get to our room to place up our luggae – prepare for the fart noises whilst you wait on the elevator. Within the Carousel of Progress there's a picture of Walt Disney in the daughter's room within the Forties. The hotel featured numerous light wells and rounded corners, which grew to become a trademark in Warren lodges and flats.
The private water taxi would be the most expensive means to get from the airport to Venice. The club room expertise at Portofino Bay is set apart by two things: the size of the rooms and the quality of the meals. Washington DC is the proper place to cease halfway on your east coast street trip Not solely is budget pleasant as a result of the entire monuments are free, however the metropolis has probably the greatest strolling experiences you'll have in your complete nation. There are nonetheless chain budget resorts discovered on the outskirts of town that are 2-star lodges like Otap, Formule 1 and Ibis resorts.

Yep, I do. I'm forty-eight years new today and consider that, on balance, I now spend only about twenty-five percent of my time being naive and neurotic as my second greatest accomplishment after my son. If you read this blog (and if you don't, well, you're already here so you'd may as well) you know that I've parted with my expensive things, moved to a village in Wales and have generally rediscovered what it's like to simply not give a damn, and it's lovely. It's so lovely, in fact, that I have a difficult time getting fired up enough to find topics about which I am passionate enough to write. Maybe this is what Eminem meant when he said that once his struggles were over, his creativity deserted him. Now that I'm not part of the stress-hewn populace of the never-ending marathon to who can be most frayed in the good ole U S of A, I'm just not that pissed off anymore. About anything. So yes, Em, bro – I got you. We're just alike, you and I. Well, except for the upbringing, addictions, crazy mom and misogynist lyrics. But the loss of good material and the pale skin thing I can totally relate to. We must at least both share an almost constant need for SPF 50. But I digress.
As I sneak up on fifty from behind and hope that it does not notice that I have somehow managed to go so far untouched by things most others suffer from age, I have chosen to do so in a way so as not to anger the gods that have allowed me to remain largely preserved, and I have also become more reflective. I've thought a lot lately about how I ended up this way; here, metaphorically and practically, in this space metaphysically and in Wales geographically and how it is that I managed to survive given how many people I've pissed off along the way. You see, if it weren't my birthday this entry would instead be entitled, "Parents, Teach Your Children Well," except that it would be a caveat emptor to doing so too well, as my parents did. My parents = two of the most decent, honest, hard-working people who ever lived. Period. But they were also, I'm afraid, incredibly naive, and in bringing my sis and me up with certain beliefs or standards, also set us up to be almost constantly at odds with something or someone or the universe at large. So as I scrape the bottom of nearing fifty, it occurs to me that an alternative parenting guide might have just made my life a bit easier, made me a bit more patient and calm, and would have kept me from being able to anger people who otherwise have the temporal constitution of the Dalai Lama himself.
Revised Parenting Lesson 1:
My parents, for example, when it came to honesty and hard work repeated such trite phrases as "it doesn't matter what you do, do it better than anyone else." Or, "as long as you work hard and do your best at whatever you choose, life will take care of you and we will be proud." And then there was "take pride in your work and be sure you know your job better than anyone else." Or the most often conflated and abused, "hard work pays."
This is why I am good at what I do; I do work hard and I do try to ensure that I know more about my given field than anyone else, or at least better than the clients who pay me their hard-earned money to instill upon them skills they do not themselves possess. It is also why I, almost daily, want to reach through a phone line or across a sales counter and strangle customer service representatives at almost any number of companies. Because I know an increasingly astonishing amount more their goods or services than they do, and I also seem to care more despite being their customer rather than someone who is – I don't know – paid to work for and 'service' the needs of said company's clients. So no, mom and dad, other children were not taught the same standards we had instilled in us by you and if you really wanted to help us, you would've said, "hard work pays, but there are also lots of idiots out there and the real world is a minefield of laziness and willful ignorance wherein yes, you will excel, but only because your competition is so entirely unprepared, uninformed and stoned on sugary treats their parents let them have but of which we deprived you in place of spinach which made your neurons super-connected and has made you this hyper-efficient nerd ball of excellence. But you also be occasionally tripped up, blown off course or even blown to bits by one of these idiot-mines, so never go anywhere without your bullshit repelling flack-jacket. And a really good and loyal attorney." But they didn't, so here I am. Warning you to do so for yours.

I want to make sure that data I store in Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES) resources is protected against accidental deletion, application or hardware failures, or outages. What are some best practices I should keep in mind?
To improve the fault-tolerance of your Amazon ES domain, keep the following best practices in mind:
- Take regular index snapshots.
- Monitor the status of your Amazon ES resources.
- Understand and maintain Amazon ES service limits.
- Use more than two nodes in a domain.
- Enable zone awareness for your domain.
- Avoid using t2 instance types in production environments.
- Use dedicated master nodes.
Take regular index snapshots
- Configure automatic daily snapshots as a backup solution for your cluster. To restore your cluster, a recent snapshot will expedite the process.
- Take manual index snapshots to create point-in-time backups of the data in your Amazon ES domain, and then store them in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket on your account. Manual index snapshots can also help you migrate data between Amazon ES domains.
Monitor the status of your Amazon ES resources
- Use the Monitoring pane of the Amazon ES console to monitor the health of your Elasticsearch clusters.
- Set up automatic email notifications using Amazon CloudWatch. For example, monitor the AutomatedSnapshotFailure CloudWatch metric to confirm that automated snapshots of your cluster are happening at regular intervals. For a tutorial, see Get Started with Amazon Elasticsearch Service: Set CloudWatch Alarms on Key Metrics.
Use more than two nodes in a domain
- Use more than two nodes to avoid an unintentionally partitioned network (split brain).
- Have a replica for each index to avoid potential data loss.
- If you're not using a dedicated master node, use three or more nodes.
Enable zone awareness for your domain
Zone awareness allocates nodes and replica index shards that belong to an Elasticsearch cluster across multiple Availability Zones in the same Region.
Note: You must allocate at least one replica shard per Availability Zone for zone awareness to be effective.
Avoid using t2 instance types in production environments
The t2 instance types aren't optimized for use with Amazon ES in a production environment. For production environments, use m3 instance types or larger. If you decide to use t2 instance types, be sure to closely monitor the CPU credits, CPU usage, memory usage, and general operational stability of your instances. Scale up or out whenever necessary.
Use dedicated master nodes
Dedicated master nodes can help guard against issues caused by overloaded nodes. Use dedicated master nodes when:
- Your domain has five or more nodes
- Your index mapping is complex, with many fields defined across types and indices

Accident On Kansas Avenue Injures One
KSCB News - September 17, 2013 9:35 am
On Monday, September 16, 2013, at about 12:15 p.m., emergency responders were dispatched to 21st and Kansas for a report of an injury accident involving two vehicles.
Responding officers learned that a red, 2000 Chevy Venture driven by an 83 year old female was traveling west on 21st Street and failed to yield to a black, 2013 Mercedes-Benz driven by a 65 year old female who was traveling north on Kansas Avenue. Both vehicles sustained disabling damage.
The driver of the Mercedes-Benz was transported to Southwest Medical Center by Seward County EMS with non-life threatening injuries.
A citation for run stop sign was issued to the driver of the Chevy Venture.

Inspiration materialized as the Naturally Isis Hair Parade on Saturday, a celebration of beauty through empowerment. Musicians, artists, dancers and a shoulder-lifted Erykah Badu filled out the procession to pay homage to a cultural movement and the local icon responsible for nurturing it forward, Isis Brantley.
Brantley battled for, and eventually won, the right to perform natural hair techniques without a full cosmetology license -- claiming the content of which is in direct opposition to the principles of natural hair, which targets nutrition and pride rather than heavy chemicals designed to alter the shape and texture of hair's intrinsic beauty. She also argued that an unnecessary amount of time and credit hours that did not pertain to the subject were keeping women from learning the trade and preserving their heritage.
She was arrested for her vision.

This parade was the third for the Naturally Isis Project and it ended in a festival at Pan-African Connection where messages of encouragement were shouted through microphones, resonating throughout Fair Park and South Dallas.
Photographer (and Dallas Best-Of nominee) Danny Hurley was there to translate the scene through stills, and boy are they stunning. We picked our ten favorites, and you'll want to visit the entire slideshow here.

Crêpes: The Perfect Pancake for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, or Dessert
Crêpes are thin, delicate pancakes that originated in Brittany, France. They may seem fancy, but they are easy to prepare and can be made in advance which makes them perfect for when you have guests. Just keep a stack of crêpes wrapped tightly in plastic wrap overnight, then reheat the next day for easy entertaining.
Follow these simple steps for the perfect Buckwheat Crêpes, and soon you'll be a crêpe-making pro! You can fill them with just about anything, savory or sweet, and with the right accompaniments they are the perfect fit any time of day.
Crêpes For Any Meal:
• Spread your crêpes with hazelnut chocolate spread and sliced bananas.
• Try a drizzle of honey, some Greek yogurt and strawberries.
• Melt Gruyère cheese and toss some diced ham inside your crêpes. A green salad on the side rounds out this perfect afternoon nibble.
• Try sautéing mushrooms and garlic in a little olive oil, then adding spinach. Cook until wilted, then fill your crêpes.
• Gently sauté thinly sliced onions in butter or olive oil until caramelized. Add a handful of freshly chopped herbs such as tarragon or thyme, and fill crêpes with the hot onion mixture. Add some crumbled goat cheese and roll. Serve with steamed string beans tossed with a little lemon juice and olive oil.
• Or try stuffing with my Chicken with White Wine and Mushrooms.
• Make decadent Rocky Road Crêpes by filling a hot crêpe with marshmallow cream, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds.
• For something a bit lighter, combine in a mini-chopper: lowfat ricotta cheese, lemon zest, and a touch of powdered sugar. Process until smooth, then fill crêpes with riccotta mixture and fresh blueberries.

Strengthen your faith
and the community of God
"The catechesis of adults is the principal form of catechesis, because it is addressed to persons who have the greatest responsibilities and the capacity to live the Christian message in its fully developed form. The Christian community cannot carry out a permanent catechesis without the direct and skilled participation of adults, whether as receivers or as promoters of catechetical activity. The world in which the young are called to live and gives witness to the faith which catechesis seeks to deepen and strengthen is governed by adults: the faith of these adults too should continually be enlightened, stimulated and renewed, so that it may pervade the temporal realities in their charge. Thus, for catechesis to be effective, it must be permanent, and it would be quite useless if it stopped short just at the threshold of maturity, since catechesis, admittedly under another form, proves no less necessary for adults."
– Pope John Paul II,
Our "Alpha for Catholics" runs year-round and is for all adults! Alpha classes are available as the initial step in the process of preparation to receive the sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Faith (i.e. Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation).
Adult Education Classes is a continual program designed to present adult catechesis opportunities for our parishioners. Classes meet on announced Mondays from 7-8 p.m. for presentation followed by question and answer time. The classes will be held in Father D'Arco Hall (Parish Hall).
RCIA meets on Thursday evening's beginning in early January and continue meetings until the Feast of Pentecost. The program is available for adults who are preparing to enter or complete their initiation into the Catholic Church or are members of other religious denominations interested in converting to the Catholic faith.
Between Alpha and RCIA we offer the adults preparing for the sacraments of initiation an opportunity to participate in a guided bible study! Topics may vary from course to course, but they are very useful in continuing the formation through a further basic study of Christianity and Catholicism.

Rarely does a rookie ever win the Masters but Patrick Reed is not your ordinary Augusta debutant.
The 23-year-old is very big on self-confidence – as you would expect from a Texan – and he's won three titles since arriving on the PGA Tour in 2011. He belts it long off the tee, is decent on the greens and played the course on a regular basis while at nearby Augusta State University.
What's more, he is 60/1 with Paddy Power, 888sport, Sky Bet, Unibet and Sportingbet. That's a bonus as easyodds.com tell us six of the last seven winners have been priced at 25/1 or greater.
Henrik Stenson proved last year he's a big-time player and is 33/1 with Ladbrokes, Coral, William Hill and others while Matt Kuchar may have bottled it at the Houston Open last Sunday but he still finished second after his third in the Texas Open a fortnight ago so we will stick with his hot hand at 25/1 with Bet Victor and Sportingbet.
MORE: The Masters: Top ten facts about golf's legendary spring major
Our last each-way choice is reliable Harris English at 60/1 with Paddy Power, who will pay out if he finishes sixth.
Meanwhile, Boylesports go 5/6 there is a new major winner and Justin Rose is top each-way value to lead after the first round at 40/1 with the Betfair sports book, who go 9/4 that he is the top Englishman on Sunday.
Greyhounds: Farloe Tango is the best six-bend greyhound in years and is worth backing to win the Regency, which starts tonight on RPGTV at Hove, even though he's just evens with sponsors Coral.
Mollys Hope, a widespread 33/1, and Ballyhill Amber at 50/1 with William Hill, are our each-way picks while Jaytee Lightning is 7/2 with sponsors Ladbrokes to win the Scottish Derby final at Shawfield on Saturday.

When you live in Ukraine, you most likely start you trip to the Carpathians from this town. It is extremely popular among the tourists and holds spectacular sights. Mukachevo. A small, quiet place where you can find something interesting for each taste, a town which you will not regret visiting. This is a great example of multicultural community, polite and respectful people, gorgeous nature and breath-taking landscape.
The first thing you notice when you come to Mukachevo is that it is surrounded by the mountains. Although, when you go to the centre, you will not be able to see that. But as soon as you go to the highway, which surrounds the town, or when you stand on the bridge over river Latorytsia, you will see how marvellous it actually is. The town whispers to you that it hides secrets which you cannot find out in one day or even in two days stay. To feel this place, you need to come at least for three days.
Though in some places, like from one of the bridges across Latorytsia river, you can take an amazing picture like this one. And it is not Amazon River. But you can try to trick your friends. As you can see, the sky looks pretty scary. It looks like it is going to rain. if you read the news, the top one is that weather in the Carpathians and in general in the Western regions of Ukraine is not normal as for the summer. It is raining almost non-stop, a week ago it was snowing in some mountain villages of Zakarpattya region. When you pack your suitcase, check the forecast.
Along the river bank you will see this beautiful plant that look like a wedding dress. But do not get over excited about it. If you touch, do not squeeze it on a sunny day because you will have a severe burn. The juices of this plant contain the oils which under the sun will burn your skin. The process of recovering can take up to one month. But it seems that insects are enjoying resting on this dangerous flowers.
The town is very compact. As soon as you pass the centre, you will see the district of private houses, very fancy private houses. Everything shows that the owners care about their property. As we went there in June, one of the wonders we noticed there, on the front yards, was blooming Hortensia. If you haven't seen it before, it will surprise you a lot that in one bush there are flowers of different colours – blue, purple and pink. In Mukachevo they are everywhere.
Next thing you realise is that actual centre of the town is very small. It has many cafés where you can just relax and talk to your friends. There are several monuments and old buildings here. This main alley is a pedestrian zone so you will not see any cars here. Right in the middle there is a Ukrainian flag. As you can see in the photo, the pavement is covered with sett (or Belgium blocks) which is very common for old Ukrainian towns. The government usually does not allow to change it because it is one of the historical relics. You cannot imagine how many heels where broken here. Keep this in mind and choose the shoes for this trip wisely.
Mukachevo is filled with interesting monuments. It will not be hard to find most of them as they are placed right on the main alley. But if you have a goal to find all the monuments, here is a guide for you.
The first and the most popular monument is a chimney sweep. Why is it popular? Because it has the cat. Everything gets more exciting if it has the cat. The head of the cat got golden because people touched it for a good luck.
Go further, and you will see Kyrylo and Mefodiy square. Guess what was placed right in the middle of this square? Of course the monument to Kyrylo and Mefodiy. They are very important for Ukrainian and Slavic cultures in general as they created the Glagolitic alphabet.
Standing in the middle of the square, you will see the theatre building. It is so tiny that you can feel like you time travelled to the past where, apparently, it was enormous. An interesting fact is that the town even has a cinema (Peremoha – in English "Victory"). Usually such small towns do not have this wide range of entertainment.
A bit further to the left, there is a monument to Oleksandr Dukhnovych. He was another important person for Ukrainian culture and language. He was a famous "budytyl" (awakener) of Slavic culture. In the picture you can see that one building on the left is covered with plastic. It is now being reconstructed by the administration of the town. This is very important. When you are in the centre or passing by the closest to the centre streets, you will notice how many rubbish bins there are here. Even in Kyiv there is no so many rubbish bins. Maybe that is the reason why streets here are a lot cleaner. People do not have to search where to throw away their trash.
Right opposite to Dukhnovych monument, there is a cathedral and another monument. You can guess this one. People in Western regions of Ukraine are very religious. There are many cathedrals, churches and monasteries. Most of them are beautiful.
The most exciting sight to see in Mukachevo is Palanok castle. As it is situated right on top of the 68-metre-hill, you can see it every time you enter or leave the town. No one knows when it was built but it was first mentioned in the documents in XI century.
The entrance to the castle is not free and the working hours are limited. Keep in mind that like in Germany everything is closed here on Sundays. And on Saturdays shops and sights work till 15:00. But you can always come to the top of the hill and see how beautiful Mukachevo is from that height.
The last tiny thing (literally tiny) that you need to see it a Celt mini sculpture. Just 300 m away from the railway station, placed on the river bank, it looks very cute.
Mukachevo is the town created for people who want to escape from the crowds and routine. It seems that when you come here, time stops. This town has European spirit, the magic of old narrow streets, quiet centre and people caring about each other. The town where cultures are mixed and still people are happily living together, where Soviet and pure Ukrainian are mixed. You need to feel it. This town has an exceptional soul.

Human Rights Imperialism: Leftist Satire or Moral Collapse?
The Guardian recently published a wicked satire of moral relativism, a Swiftian send-up entitled "End human rights imperialism now" with the classic sub-heading "Groups such as Human Rights Watch have lost their way by imposing western, 'universal' standards on developing countries." Brilliant! Hahahahaha! I didn't know the Guardian had branched out into humor.
But about five minutes after my laughter subsided, a horrible suspicion dawned on me: Could it be that the author was serious?
A quick re-read confirmed my fears. This was no joke. This was the modern left finally taking its last inevitable step into the abyss of moral oblivion.
A few quick quotes from this astonishing manifesto will introduce you to a disturbing new way of looking at the world:
Founded by idealists who wanted to make the world a better place, [the human rights movement] has in recent years become the vanguard of a new form of imperialism.
Want to depose the government of a poor country with resources? Want to bash Muslims? Want to build support for American military interventions around the world? Want to undermine governments that are raising their people up from poverty because they don't conform to the tastes of upper west side intellectuals? Use human rights as your excuse!
Human Rights Watch is hardly the only offender. There are a host of others, ranging from Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders to the Carr Centre for Human Rights at Harvard and the pitifully misled "anti-genocide" movement. All promote an absolutist view of human rights permeated by modern western ideas that westerners mistakenly call "universal".
Just as Human Rights Watch led the human rights community as it arose, it is now the poster child for a movement that has become a spear-carrier for the "exceptionalist" belief that the west has a providential right to intervene wherever in the world it wishes.
Those who have traditionally run Human Rights Watch and other western-based groups that pursue comparable goals come from societies where crucial group rights – the right not to be murdered on the street, the right not to be raped by soldiers, the right to go to school, the right to clean water, the right not to starve – have long since been guaranteed. In their societies, it makes sense to defend secondary rights, like the right to form a radical newspaper or an extremist political party. But in many countries, there is a stark choice between one set of rights and the other. Human rights groups, bathed in the light of self-admiration and cultural superiority, too often make the wrong choice.
Human rights need to be considered in a political context. The question should not be whether a particular leader or regime violates western-conceived standards of human rights. Instead, it should be whether a leader or regime, in totality, is making life better or worse for ordinary people.
It's not that the essay's author, former New York Times Bureau Chief and current anti-imperialist professor-activist Stephen Kinzer, is wrong about his facts: it's quite true that life under a totalitarian police state is often safer and more secure than living in lawless anarchy. That's why the war-torn masses throughout history sometimes clamor for peace even at the cost of their own freedom. Yet forgotten in Kinzer's approval of oppressive societies is that wannabe dictators always use this excuse to justify their crushing of human rights: We need to remove your freedom in order to guarantee your safety. Never mind that the new regime was usually one of combatants endangering the citizenry in the first place.
No, the issue is that Kinzer seems to have just now woken up to a phenomenon that many of us have known about for quite some time -- that the human rights movement "has in recent years become the vanguard of a new form of imperialism."
The only error in that statement is the word "recent." The notion of "universal human rights" was formulated in the West and is the basis of Western civilization; and the the notion of bringing these "Western values" to oppressed and backward peoples has been the goal not just of the modern human rights movement but of missionaries, do-gooders and yes, even the American military for quite some time.
Kinzer has freshly arrived at the blinding and quite correct realization that the "human rights movement" and "Western imperialism" are one and the same. And having become aware of this, you'd think that as a human rights activist, he'd have a life-altering epiphany: Perhaps I've been wrong about what I call "imperialism" this whole time. Maybe it is a force for good after all.
But no. Standing on the brink of a psychological breakthrough, Kinzer turned the other way and instead had a breakdown. Pinioned by the idée fixe that America and imperialism and Western values are always and irrevocably wrong, when faced with the fact that human rights are a subset of Western values, Kinzer felt he had no choice but to discard his belief in human rights. Which must have been quite difficult for someone who formerly regarded himself as a human rights activist, but hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Moral relativism vs. cultural imperialism
What we see in this essay is moral relativism finally taken to its logical conclusion. No longer will the Left be able to claim credit for the "good" aspects of two fundamentally oppositional viewpoints. Either you are for respecting native cultures and native value systems, or you are for bringing "human rights" (i.e. "Western values") to Third World peoples. But you can't do both simultaneously. Yet that is exactly what the Left has been doing for decades -- claiming credit as the world's humanitarians and advocates for universal human rights, while at the same time claiming credit as the defenders of native cultures and opponents of imperialism.

I've been lucky this fall to spend a good amount of time in the mountains with some most excellent women—new friends and old. In October I joined my friend Nicole and her friend Claire to complete the Pinnacle Pursuit, a hiking challenge sponsored by the Moosehead Lake Region Chamber of Commerce, designed to bring people to the Greenville area to recreate (and spend money in the local economy).
We took the long October weekend to hike the six mountains within a 48 hour period (thus fulfilling the requirements to be considered "Ultra" Pinnacle Pursuit finishers). Borestone, Whitecap and Number Four Mountains rounded out day one, and Kineo, Big Moose and Eagle Rock filled out day two. After a slow fall and predictions of a dull foliage season, we were blindsided by the sudden pop of fall colors, hitting the north woods at its peak. The 360 degree view from the tower on top if Kineo (a mountain in the middle of Moosehead Lake) and the late afternoon golden glow atop Eagle Rock burned this fall's foliage into my head, reminding me how lucky I was to leave work behind for two days and spend my time in good company with good conversation in the Maine woods.
This past weekend I joined Charlotte, Becca and Zoe and hiked into winter, climbing the 3000 feet from Grafton Notch to the top of Old Speck, the third highest mountain in Maine. The cloud ceiling was low and the higher we got the more ice there was on the trail, snow in the woods and rime on the trees. The view from the top was of billowing whiteness, and climbing the icy observation tower brought you up above the tree tops and into the full force of the wind. The smell of the air alone as we climbed from the notch to the summit made me giddy, passing through nearly leafless deciduous forest into a thin soiled spruce stand, you could smell winter before you could see it. We did what we've done nearly every fall for the past 6 years, hiked together somewhere in Maine, talking deeply and intensely about our lives, our families, the challenges we face and the changes ahead.
My time in the company of fine women doesn't end in the woods. I find that I am surrounded by strong women cutting a wide swath of important work in this world, my colleagues at work, advancing the place of women in science and engineering; the sister who gets me to run the MDI Marathon relay with her, and who's professional competency as an educator leaves me humbled; the friend in southern Maine who's willing to share her insights from her journey into sobriety; the women with whom I will share an annual friends thanksgiving next weekend, educators and mothers working hard to shape good human beings; the mother (and her amazing troop of care givers) negotiating debilitating disease with grace and humor; the grandmother who taught dozens of women to drive a car in the small mill town where she lived, because driving was a step towards independence. Yes, I have many positive female role models in my life, and I am happy that the women in my life and I are able to be role models for the daughters, nieces, cousins and girls of all sorts coming up behind us.
Representation has been on my mind a lot the past year, with the realization that role models are really important. I've been thinking a lot about representation, in the media I consume and the communities I am a part of, and how representation shapes the identity I create for myself. It is incredibly hard to picture yourself doing something if you don't have an image of some one who looks like you doing it. We've been having this conversation in science for years. That's why I was so pleased when I recently watched the remake of the classic 80's film Ghostbusters—the version that stirred up so much controversy because women were cast in all the main roles, flipping the original casting on its head. The film was predictably silly but the experience of watching it as a woman was energizing. Here, on the screen were all these smart capable female characters, speaking fluent science and engineering (yes, it was of course "movie" science and engineering dialog, but not meant to be comic—there were other things that were clearly funny in the film but the fact that these women were smart and capable wasn't one of them). It made me fantasize about flipping the gender of all of our mainstream media stories and analyzing them—would Harry Potter read the same if it was Harriet Potter? It has to be possible to tell these stories with women in the lead as easily as men. There is no reason not to.
Of course the biggest gender flip of all is on deck for Tuesday night. And the opportunity to run in real time that experiment, it's one we've been waiting for in this country since the beginning. I know not every body thinks we are ready. But I am, and so are all the young women coming up behind me. This election is really for them, they need to see women on the Supreme Court, women in the House and Senate, women leading corporations, women winning Nobel Prizes and women running the show in the Oval Office.
Gender is of course, not the only reason I'll be casting my vote on Tuesday morning for Hillary Clinton, nor in fact is it the biggest one. This election (as many are) has been about story telling, which story resonates the strongest with you? Who ever tells it is likely to get your vote. The Clinton campaign has been telling a consistently inclusive story, sharing a vision of taking this country forward, continuing the hard work of creating a society that values all of us, works to eliminate discriminatory privilege and provides opportunity for everyone regardless of race, gender, religion…I know it is somewhat naïve to buy into that story, but here's the thing—if even a fraction of it is true, that is progress. And that is what I am betting on. That is the country I want to live in. That is the society I work to create around me every day. I already share that vision, I live my life by that vision, I vote for candidates who promote that vision. It's not exclusively a feminist agenda, it's a human agenda. The other narrative on the table this election is unthinkable.
Whatever happens on Tuesday, we have a lot of work to do. This won't end Wednesday morning when we have a new president. We have relationships to rebuild and visions to fight for. We have wounds to heal. We'll need deep reserves of courage and resilience. We'll need graciousness and compassion and empathy while at the same time holding people to a high standard and not compromising the values that make this country a place seen as the land of opportunity for so many people around the world. I know we are all exhausted from this campaign, but the real work has only just begun. For that, I am thankful for the presence of all these strong women around me. Whatever happens, we can do this. Let's do this.

Melding elements fans of Zao, Carcass, Converge, Poison The Well, Martyr A.D., One King Down, and similar brutalizing acts, VATICAN's Ache Of Eternity was recorded by Kris Hilbert at Legitimate Business (Advent, Torch Runner, Red Death, Joy), mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Integrity, Nails, Xibalba) and bears art by Spencer Guerrero and photography by Nathan Fitzgerald. Decibel Magazine offers, "There are a lot of influences at play on Ache Of Eternity-from the chaotic nature of Converge to the bulldozing heaviness of Zao, Martyr A.D. or Hatebreed-making the EP a satisfying listen from the rising hardcore band." Metal Injection calls the EP, "a doozy for anyone that worships Zao, Poison the Well, It Dies Today, etc. Can't deny there is a huge Swedish death metal influence in there, somewhere, either."
Svbterranean reports that the EP, "delivers five tracks of flesh-ripping riffs, bashing grooves and breakdowns galore... Ache Of Eternity sits at the apex of this evolution, offering something that is no doubt familiar, but also dynamic and destructive. If Trustkill and Ferret Music were still operating today, VATICAN would be the type of band they would have bred." Two Guys Metal Reviews states, "Ache Of Eternity is the sort of metallic hardcore record that cracks skulls with its punchy accuracy, tight songwriting and bone breaking breakdowns."

So I got this awesome idea to make little books out of fig newtons from Jessica at Shower of Roses, and I knew I had to try it! (Also, Jessica's having a rough week, so say a little prayer for her if you can).
How to Make Little Edible Bibles:
Start with a fig newton, and trim off one long side with a sharp knife. This makes it look like your "book" has the edges of paper showing on 3 sides, and binding on the forth side. I also then shortened them a little because this made them too narrow. My kids graciously took care of the scraps for me 😉
The "bookmarks" are made from red fruit roll ups. Cut them in the shape of a bookmark with a sharp knife, then stick them into the 'fig goo' with a toothpick. The pieces of fruit roll up I used were about as long as my thumbnail.
It was very easy to stick these bookmarks in, but a little challenging to cut out the fruit roll ups.
Finish the bible by decorating the cover and binding with icing.
I love crafting with my food so much more than cooking (which isn't my strong point) so easy little snacks like this that I don't have to bake are just perfect for me! Wouldn't this be such a cute snack for vacation bible school? Or bible study? Or 10,000 other occasions, like our upcoming "B" week? In case you can't tell, I really like these 🙂

Our club has been a noted sporting venue for over a hundred years.
Aspria Royal La Rasante embodies the Aspria values of excellence in equipment, service and surroundings, which have earned our flagship Brussels club a coveted Royal Warrant. We're proud to be a part of it – and hope our members are too.
Aspria Royal La Rasante has a long and well-respected position in Belgium's sporting heritage, with more than 100 years of sporting excellence behind it.
Founding an iconWe began life as a lawn tennis club.In 1902, the Rasante Lawn Tennis Club was founded on the Chaussée de Waterloo, close to the Bois de la Cambre, by three yachting enthusiasts who wanted a place to keep active when on dry land. The club was a success, and in 1907 they moved to a bigger plot on Rue du Duc, replacing the grass tennis courts with crushed brick ones for ease of play. The club continued to grow in membership and outdoor sporting facilities, adding a hockey pitch in 1922.
Settling in Woluwe-Saint-LambertWe have occupied our current home for more than 90 years.
A turning point in the club's history came in 1923, when it moved to the old Noyers Farm at Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, totally modernising the buildings but retaining much of its traditional character. After almost 100 years, it is still our home.
Continuing a long traditionLa Rasante Lawn Tennis Club continued to thrive until the rise of different leisure activities and more competition on the market saw membership dwindle, and the club closed in 1997.
Happily, Aspria bought and redeveloped the famous club as Aspria Royal La Rasante, reopening it in 2005 to once again promote sporting values of tenacity, appetite for challenge and the pursuit of excellence.
Into the futureToday, our club has more than 5,000 members using an outstanding array of facilities: 7 tennis courts, a training pool and a leisure pool, 15 different wellbeing zones in the gym, steam bath, sauna, restaurant and a beauty salon.
We're proud to continue the tradition of Brussels' most famous sporting club, supporting and inspiring our members to be fit, healthy and prepared for modern life.
We pride ourselves on the exceptional knowledge, experience and commitment of every single Aspria staff member.
Aspria is a company of experts, from our personal trainers and spa therapists to our nutritionists, coaches and childhood specialists. Committed to excellence in everything we do, our collective expertise is the driver delivering the most innovative private members clubs in Europe.
Did you know your children will do better at school – in terms of their behaviour in the classroom, their ability to focus, and even their academic achievements if they are physically active on a regular basis?

Escape to your wellbeing refuge at Aspria, with the rest of the year on us.

Working at home can be both wonderful and terrible. Depends on the person and the day.
I am a cellist and mother to three adorable children. When I am not traveling for concerts, I spend most of my time working from home.
A musician needs to practice alone and to rehearse with other musicians or groups. In addition, we must run our business including calls and emails to presenters, social media updates, be in constant contact with managers and publicists, with composers and conductors, and in my case, I also check in regularly with my producer and my husband. Each helps with different aspects of my business.
I like working at home when:
– No telemarketers disturb me.
– I am motivated from within and excited by upcoming projects and deadlines.
– No one else is at home besides me.
I don't like working at home when:
– The phone rings exactly when I am on the verge of discovering the truth about one particular phrase or when inspiration is here.
– I have an important concert coming up, and my kids are at home. Our caregiver is wonderful and hands on, but the walls are thin, and I can hear if someone is crying or if the TV is on or if the intercom is buzzing.
I also get lonely sometimes and crave the company and energy from other musicians to keep me going.
The fridge is beckoning. Hmmm. Should I have another biscotti with my third morning coffee?
I read the paper. I surf the net and suddenly it's 3pm. School pickup time.

When we hear something that sounds too good to be true, that's usually the case. You may have been told that have thousands of dollars just waiting for you to claim, that you won a free vacation from a random company you've never heard of, or that the latest diet craze will finally work miracles. In each of those cases you would probably wonder, "There's no way that's true," or "What's the catch?" But what if you were told that because of His love for you, the King of the universe sent His only Son to this broken world to live a perfect life and die in your place? And then, because He is God, He came back to life again 3 days later and promises that if you receive His free gift of grace, you'll get to live with Him forever. This story, which seems too good to be true but isn't, is at the heart of the Gospel and the reason we can have joy!
JOY: Delighting in God in All Circumstances
MEMORY VERSE: "Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again – rejoice!" Philippians 4:4 (NLT)
This Week's Finish Line: Because Jesus is Alive, We Can Have Joy
The disciples didn't know what to think. The man they left everything for and followed for 3 years was killed. Now, 3 days later, some of the women they knew said that the tomb was empty and were told by an angel that Jesus had risen. Peter and John also saw the empty tomb and two friends said that Jesus walked with them for a while along the road but then He just disappeared. All of this sounds way too good to be true. Suddenly, Jesus Himself was standing among them, holding out His hands so they could see and touch the scars that all our sins cost Him. He is alive! This amazing news brought the disciples great joy and it still brings joy to all of us who believe it today!
Family Questions:
- Read Luke 24:35-53. What gave the disciples joy? What amazing thing had God done?
- Do you think Jesus was joyful when He showed Himself to the disciples He love? Why do you think that?
- How did the disciples live out our memory verse for the month, Philippians 4:4?
- Why does it matter if someone believes Jesus is still alive? How can believing Jesus is alive today bring you joy?
Bring it Home Conversations & Activities:
* Check out our vision for parents and how to use these activities each week.
Teacher: Journey of Joy
After dinner this week gather your family together in the living room to go on a "journey of joy" in the Psalms. The activity is to give every person in your family 2 - 5 verses that talk about joy to look up and read aloud from the bible. A great resource is Biblegateway.com that has an incredible search engine. Here are a few passages to get you started: Psalm 16:11, 19:8, 28:7, 51:12 and 95:1. After you have all found and read your verses aloud, discuss as a family what you noticed or learned while listening to all of those verses.
Friend: What Brings You Joy?
While driving with your family, ask everyone to name a few things that bring them joy. Keep a mental list in your head and repeat what everyone said. Then ask your kids if they believe that all of the things they listed would bring them joy forever. Ask them if they would want joy forever. Then explain that the most joyful news in the world is that Jesus is alive today after having paid the death penalty for our sins! Because Jesus is alive we can have joy!
Counselor: Psalm 1 Challenge
This is the last week to join us in the six-week challenge by memorizing Psalm 1! It is highly important to memorize scripture and to write it on our hearts, so we have created this challenge for the whole family! We want parents and children alike to be memorizing the same thing together. This is something you can do while driving, while in your living room or while doing dishes and we hope is a bonding activity. You can make flash cards by going to watermark.org/blog/six-week-challenge and printing them off.
Coach: Joy is Dependent on God
As you are getting your family ready for the day, remind your kids that joy is dependent on God and NOT our circumstances! This means that our circumstances cannot rob us of our joy because God is bigger than our circumstances and He never changes! Because God is trustworthy we can have joy.
Thank God that Jesus is alive and used the disciples to spread the good news of great joy all the way to you! Ask God to reveal things in your life that are blocking you from the joy that comes only from Him.
Looking Ahead
Next week we will continue the month of February with the godly character trait, JOY. We will learn that because God is in control, we can be filled with joy!
