We've long talked about having an owner's podcast and now it finally happened. Prior to a WFNY owner's conference call, we talked about a whole host of things. We talked about WFNY. We talked about where we've been, where we're going and what we think about when we're planning for the future.
No conclusions. No breaking news, but it should be an interesting listen for the long-timers.

Episode 81
Identity Wrap Up + 2018's Top Ten Extravaganza!
December 30th, 2018
1 hr 13 mins 20 secs
About this Episode
In this episode, we share a few last thoughts on the Identity series, including our experience attending the UU fellowship two weeks in a row. Leslie reports that he's quite confident about his choice to no longer call himself a Christian - it feels like an act of protest.
We talk a little bit about what has changed for us, and for the podcast, in 2018 since we moved our identity from Marriage Startup to Glimmering, and added the "live justly" aspect to our focus.
Next is a back and forth "Top Ten Extravaganza" of stuff that impacted our lives in 2018. Laura's autoimmune brain fog is fully on display, as Leslie mentions several major highlights of the year that she didn't even think of, like our trip to Italy and getting a dog.
Finally, we look forward to the New Year and what 2019 will bring both professionally and personally. Leslie's working on a new project just for fun (and self-edification), and Laura is excited to announce that Wild Goose Guidance is baaaaack! And New Moon cards are going to be free again.

Antigone, or We Are Rebels Asking for the Storm
A modern adaptation of "Antigone," directed by Ovation Award winner Amanda McRaven.
See the Ovation Award winning company in its newest artistic adventure.
Antigone remains relevant through the millennia. The more things change….
Creon is King of Thebes, ascending to the throne after the death of his brother King Oedipus, and the deaths of Oedipus' sons Eteocles and Polyneices in a civil war. Creon, an autocrat who rules with an iron fist, has considered Polyneices a political rival, and so decrees that he should remain unburied on the battle field, to be devoured by worms and vultures. Polyneices' sister Antigone defies Creon and buries her brother, though it means she will surely be executed. She refuses to retract her defiance and unwittingly becomes the face of a movement, changing her sister Ismene and husband Haimon's lives forever.
This adaptation takes its title from a letter written by Pussy Riot's imprisoned front woman, and resonances between Creon and certain contemporary autocrats are clear. The production examines who we are when we stand up to tyrants and ask for the storm. Do we lose sight of our cause? Do we lose sight of each other? The play also posits that in the heavy quiet inside the rage of tyranny, the tyrant himself may seek redemption.
Matt Minnicino is the adapter who wrote the script for this new presentation of Antigone. He calls it " a Past meets Present collision of Sophocles' masterpiece and modern America, a myth for modern times about fear, tyranny, justice, revolution, revelation and hope."
Minnicino is a NewYork-based playwright and theater-maker. He has been awarded the 2017 Arts & Letters Prize a Clay E. Delauncey Playwriting Prize, residencies with SPACE on Ryder Farm, the Barn Arts Collective, Sugarglass Theatre at Trinity College-Dublin, a two-time O'Neill New Play Conference semifinalist and nominee for the Jeffrey Melnick Playwriting Award. He has adapted Chekhov, Ibsen Strindberg, Gorky, Tolstoy, Homer, Sophocles and others. He received an MFA in Playwriting from Columbia University.
Minnicino's script for Antigone is based on a translation by Kenneth Cavander of Sophocles' play, which was originally developed in 2017 in a collaboration between Minnicino and New York City's East 3rd Productions. The Fugitive Kind 's presentation of Antigone, or We Are Rebels Asking for the Storm marks its World Premiere engagement as a fully produced work.
Amanda McRaven directs the Fugitive Kind's production of Antigone . She is the company's Artistic Director. She won the Ovation Award for directing The Pliant Girls. Her other directing credits for Fugitive Kind include Shine Darkly, Illyria Macbeth: A Love Story and Heaven on Earth. She is a member of SDC and Lincoln Center Directors Lab, and Fulbright Award recipient to New Zealand, where she worked in community-based theater. Other credits: Penelope (California Repertory) She Kills Monsters (CSULB) Richard III (Shakespeare Globe Centre NZ) Much Ado About Nothing (Manawatu Summer Shakespeare, NZ) Much Ado About Nothing, Henry V, Antony and Cleopatra (American Shakespeare Center Young Company).
Her cast for Antigone, or We Are Rebels Asking for the Storm includes Emily L. Gibson, Sage Howard Simpson, Mercedes Manning, Jason Vande Brake, Jim Senti, Jeff Marras, Alana Cheuvront, Stacey Patino, Mary Borrowman, Melvin Alas, Rebecca Nakano, Davon Solomon and Petey Gibson.

Date of birth: Say 1050?
Place of birth: Unknown.
The birth of Margaret's father in 1016×7, Margaret's marriage in 1070×1, and the births of eight children before 1093 are the main clues we have about the date of Margaret's birth. Around 1050 seems like a reasonable estimate, but there would be nothing to rule out a date as early as 1040 or the late 1030's.
Date of death: 16(?) November 1093.
Place of burial: Dunfermline.
According to John of Worcester, Margaret lived for only three days after learning of the deaths of her husband and eldest son ["Quorum morte cognita, regina Scottorum Margareta tanta affecta est tristitia, ut subito in magnam incideret infirmitatem. ... nam post tres dies occisionis regis, soluta carnis vinculis, ut creditur, ad gaudia transivit æternæ salutis." John Worc. s.a. 1093 (2: 32)]. Turgot, in his life of Margaret, written 1100×7, states that she died on the fourth day after her husband's death [ESSH 2: 83]. After mentioning the death of Malcolm, the Annals of Ulster and Annals of Loch Cé state that Margaret died of sorrow for him "ria cenn nomaidhe" ["A righan imorro .i. Margareta do ec dia cumaidh ria cenn nomaidhe." AU, s.a. 1093; similarly in ALC, s.a. 1093]. The words "ria cenn nomaidhe" are translated by the editors of AU as "within nine days" but have been interpreted differently by different authors [see the comments in ESSH 2: 50 n. 5]. An inserted folio in the Chronicle of Melrose gives her date of death as 16 November ["Quod ut audivit felix regina Margareta, immo, ut verius dicam, spiritu sancto præscivit, confessione et communione susceptis, Deo se precibus commendans, animam sanctam celo reddidit, xvi.º kalendas Decembris." Chron. Melrose, s.a. 1057 (inserted folio), p. 52]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has only the year of her death [ASC(E) s.a. 1093]. John of Hexham's continuation of Simeon of Durham's history states that she was buried at Dunfermline ["[David] Regnavit autem xxix. annis, corpusque ejus ad Dunfermelin delatum in sepulchro regum Scotiæ sepultum est, ubi et Sancta Margareta regina mater ejus requiescit." Sim. Durh., Hist. Regum, cont. John of Hexham, c. 26, s.a. 1153 (2: 330)].
Father: Eadweard (Edward) "the Exile", d. 19 April 1057.
Mother: Agatha, living 1067.
Spouse: m. 1070×1, Máel Coluim mac
Donnchada (Malcolm III), d. 13
November 1093, king of Scotland.

As many of you likely know, the Ocracoke Mosquito Control Board (OMCB) is funded via a tax assessment on property of $0.01 per $100 of value. This tax is imposed on homes, vehicles, and other real property. It recent years it has generated between $50,000 to $60,000 per year. This covers Mosquito Control activities including village spraying, larvicide treatment of open (and accessible) waterbodies, and clearing and cutting of the various existing drainage ditches in the village where property owners will allow access. It any given year this revenue only slightly exceeds operational expenses.
Several years ago, the OMCB tax rate was double the current rate, at $0.02 per $100 of value. This rate generated a considerable surplus of the OMCB of approximately $250,000. The current OMCB has been using these surplus funds to address drainage problems, aka puddles, around the village. To date we have successfully addressed the "Blackbeard's Lodge puddle" on Back Road, Fig Tree Lane (aka Duck Path) puddle on Back Road, and improved drainage in the North Pond area. We have recently awarded a contract to improve drainage in the lighthouse area among Silver Lake Drive, Sarah Ellen Drive, and Creek Road. The projects have and will continue to drawdown the surplus funds.
The OMCB would like to continue to address drainage problems around the village. Some of the drainage issues we hope to address in coming years include:
In order to be able to continue to conduct our regular mosquito control operations and address drainage issues, we will need additional revenue. We would like to propose to the community that we return the OMCB tax rate to $0.02 per $100 of value. We cannot ourselves raise the assessment. We must request such from the Hyde County Board of Commissioners. Before doing so, we are soliciting input from the community. If you believe the drainage projects to date have been successful and that continuing to address such problems is worth the increased assessment, please let us know. If you believe it is not worth increasing the assessment, please let us know. We can be reached by mail at PO Box 312 Ocracoke, NC 27960 or via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Alternatively, you can attend our May OMCB meeting scheduled for 6PM on Thursday, May 17 at the Community Center.

Introduction of scaled fees
As part of the Fee review undertaken by the Board last year it was decided to introduce Scaled Fees on 1st July 2018 to reflect the age of the animal at the time of registration application.
At the time the Board sought and received feedback from members on the introduction of Scaled Fees and subsequently made the decision to defer their introduction until 1st July 2019.
Recently the Board has reconfirmed their intention to implement Scaled Fees commencing July 2019, as previously notified to members.
Scaled fees based on age are not a new concept for Australia and are common throughout the Holstein world, including in the USA, Canada and UK. They provide an incentive to register at a younger age, helping to maintain the integrity of the pedigree and accuracy of the herd book database. The earlier an animal is registered, the more accurate the information, the less likely the risk of error.
Currently around 50% of animals we register are over 12 months of age and many are over 24 months of age.
The new Fee schedule, inclusive of GST, is as follows:
|Age Range
|Scaled Fee per animal
|0 - 12 months
|Base fee
|+12 months to 24 months
|Base fee plus $11.00
|Over 24 months
|Base fee plus $22.00
Base fee refers to the fee for method of registration (Web rate, EzeGene, telephone or paper).
Please note that flexible payment plans can be put in place for members who contact us directly prior to 30th June. If you have a number of animals to register or plan to catch up on registrations make sure to contact the office on (03) 9835 7600.
Members with animals currently close to or over 12 months of age are advised to make registration application prior to 30th June 2019 to ensure your registrations are up to date prior to this change coming into effect.

Richards R, et al. Maternal health behaviors and infant health outcomes among homeless mothers: US Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) 2000–2007. Prev Med. Jan 2011;52(1):87-94.
The goal of this study was to determine whether participation in the WIC Program was associated with improved maternal and infant health outcomes among homeless women in the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System. Compared with those not in the program, women enrolled in WIC were significantly more likely to have a higher body mass index, initiate breastfeeding after delivery, have prenatal care visits, have a longer gestational age, and have a higher infant birthweight.

Mass. Holds 2 Special Primary Elections
Special elections are being held in Massachusetts on Tuesday to fill a pair of state Senate seats.
State Rep. Lida Harkins of Needham and physician Peter Smulowitz are vying for the Democratic nomination in a special primary Tuesday to fill the seat left open when Republican Scott Brown won the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by the late Edward M. Kennedy.
State Rep. Richard Ross of Wrentham is unopposed on the Republican side and will face the winner in the May 11 general election.
Six Democrats are competing for the Cambridge Senate seat left vacant by the resignation of Anthony Galluccio.
The Democratic winner is nearly certain to become the district's next senator because no Republicans are on the primary ballot.
Galluccio resigned after being jailed for failing an alcohol test and violating probation for a hit-and-run accident last fall.
This program aired on April 13, 2010. The audio for this program is not available.

Theresa May continues to avoid questions about her approach to Brexit negotiations, after an account of a disastrous meeting between the Prime Minister and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker was leaked to the German press.
According to one account of the dinner meeting published by the German newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, Juncker's last words to the prime minister as he left were: "I'm leaving Downing Street 10 times more sceptical than I was before".
May tried to dismiss the comments from EU leaders that the UK's negotiating position was not based in reality as "Brussels gossip", but continues to refuse to answer questions about her approach to Brexit or any of her other policy positions for the UK in the future.
Instead, May again repeated the line that a vote for her and the Conservatives in the upcoming election was a vote for a "strong and stable leadership".
The prime minister's attempts to hide from the cameras continued in Cornwall today, as her team refused to allow Cornwall Live to film her on the campaign trail, and only allowed journalists from the publication to ask her two questions, without follow up. Journalists were also blocked by her team from broadcasting a video of the prime minister on Facebook Live.
Elsewhere, questions have been raised about a possible conflict of interest between Theresa May and her husband, Philip, over his job at the global investment firm Capital Group. The company, which manages $1.4 trillion (£1.08 trillion) of assets for corporations and high net worth individuals, could in theory benefit from early access to market-sensitive early information about the Brexit negotiations. There is no allegation that wrongdoing has taken place, and an article in Byline magazine has resulted in a denial that any conflict exists by the Cabinet Office.

Dear Susan,
My darling daughter, your goddaughter, helped me start the blog today:
Once upon a time, there was a killer dragon in our driveway. My mom had to go to a church meeting. She had to grab a giant sword (BTW, she keeps one in her pocket) and slay the dragon. Then, off to church she went.
In this case, the dragon was the specter of over-commitment that has been hanging over me for several years, taking the form of my husband. He caught me gliding my car keys into my nag, with a vague explanation that I was just heading up to church for a quick meeting. "You're not volunteering again, are you?"
I have been cutting back lately, but still find myself overwhelmed with commitments. Temptation raised its head when one person complimented my reading at Alex and Jack's wedding. With that mild encouragement, I decided it was obvious that the Holy Spirit was telling me I should be a reader at our new parish. A fresh start, I thought. Undeterred by my lack of success in my attempts at catechesis, evangelization by writing, my time in stewardship, and various other non-starters in my parish life, I carefully discerned that reading might be good for me. I discovered there were few to no meetings (no tricky social interaction and fewer people to upset), a minimal time commitment, and the only required skill was being literate. Check, check, and check!
Evidently, readers have gone through several iterations, including lectors and ministers of the Word. I like "Minister of the Word," because it sounds like a mid-level bureaucrat in some vaguely communist Eastern European country. The Minister of the Word at Mass has an important function in relation to the gathered faithful. The handbook for Ministers of the Word at one parish states: According to the General Instruction to the Roman Missal: "Lay people may be deputed to proclaim the readings from Sacred Scripture, people who are truly suited to carrying out this function and carefully prepared, so that by their hearing the readings from the sacred texts the faithful may conceive in their hearts a sweet and living affection for Sacred Scripture"
Enthused by my new calling, I eagerly attended my first (and only) meeting, which was reading training. The new recruits were walked through the process of checking in, processing, and given a chance at the microphone. One contradictory aspect of my personality is, that while I am incredibly shy and have terrible social anxiety, I don't really have a fear of public speaking. And that nice man at the wedding told me I read well. Buoyed by this happy thought, I volunteered to go first. I took a deep breath, looked around, and attempted to "own the ambo," (ambo is Catholic-speak for lectern or podium) as our trainer advised. I started in on a pretty easy passage from Jeremiah. I was almost immediately stopped by the trainer, who tsked-ed about my reading glasses and urged me to look up from the page. I started again. This time, I tried an advanced move, making swiveling eye contact around the church pews, as directed. From the back I heard "Project! Project!" I raised my voice to my teacher/meeting leader level, squeezed all the air from my diaphragm, and tried to hit the back of the house. "More – project more!" I raised it up to an 11, a volume hitherto unreached by any lector (as in This is Spinal Tap "These go to 11"). Finally, the other trainer came around and said. You know the microphone is off." "Oh," I replied sheepishly, "I was told not to touch it."
Even though I have not been up at the ambo yet, I already feel I am better for this ministry. I noticed on Sunday, I paid more attention to the procession, where the reader went, and how she read. I did not at all think how much better my inflections would have been or how much more emphasis I would have given certain words. Nope. I can already tell that this job will make the Mass a deeper and more meaningful rite for me, because I will have a direct role to play. I guess we all do, really, if we are taking the Mass and our responses seriously. It can be hard for us to sustain attention at Mass week after week, without necessarily feeling like we are a part of things. I also hope that this lesson will filter through to my children when they see me up there. I can't wait to whip a few of St. Paul's letters at them! I am also waiting for my first moment of true humility, when I mispronounce something horribly. St. Paul did write to the Filipinos, yes?

Its been a while since i last posted anything on here. Unfortunately the trappings of modern life have caught up with me and like the rest of the country i,ve been feeling the financial pinch so have been working extra hours to make ends meet. I,ve actually designed and built 3 different websites for my various ventures recently. My main income being the design, construction, modification and maintenance of ornamental garden/koi ponds, www.waterbouys.co.uk . The second site is for a new venture of mine manufacturing fibreglass model boat hulls for the modelling community, www.waterbouymodelboats.co.uk . And finally i,ve been running an online tackle shop for the past year but have recently been building a new website as the old one wasn,t up to my standards. This will be an ongoing project as i,m increasing stock every week, www.waterbouytackle.co.uk.
Although i,ve been working long hours i,ve still managed to have a couple of short holidays with my fair lady Sharon. We,ve taken our touring caravan to Norfolk twice for a nice chilled, relaxing few days doing nothing but walking the dogs and eating good food.
If only i had taken my sea fishing gear as this beach screams bass.
As you can see Sharon is seriously into her photography, she must of taken hundreds of pictures while we tripping around the sights of Norfolk. Sharon has recently taken a City and Guilds photography course which she passed with 2 merits and a distinction. She,s really chuffed with her results and i,m proud of her as i know how much hard work she has put into the course.
I have actually managed a couple fishing trips recently but i have the pictures on my computer back at my office so i,ll have to update you at a later date.
Until next time wrap up warm as winters is coming. Toodles.......

A key element of Nicholas Grimshaw's High-Tech Sainsbury's Superstore complex in the heart of Camden Town is 'under threat' of redevelopment, according to heritage campaigners
The Royal Gold Medal-winning architect's 1980s mixed-use project on Camden High Street includes a steel framed supermarket with underground car park, a warehouse building and a row of distinctive compact houses along Regent's Canal.
But there are fears for its future after Camden Mixed Developments revealed plans to partially demolish Grand Union House, a workshop building fronting Kentish Town Road.
The proposals by architectural practice Andrew Phillips seek permission to strip back the existing building to first-floor slab level and rebuild from the first floor upwards to create a new office building with roof terrace.
At the southern end of the site, a former nursery school will be demolished and replaced with four-storey affordable-housing block with retail units at ground floor.
The Twentieth Century Society argues the demolition will 'destroy the visual consistency' across the elements of Grimshaw's £14 million scheme and has submitted an application to Historic England for it to be Grade II listed.
It points out the façade facing Kentish Town Road uses the adaptable cladding system designed for Grimshaw's Herman Miller distribution building in Chippenham.
Caseworker for the society Grace Etherington said: 'It is our view that the complexity of the site is a key aspect of the design's success, and it pinpoints this development as one of the first mixed-use supermarket sites in an urban environment.'
'The London Borough of Camden's insistence on a variety of uses within the site, Grimshaw's use of new structural techniques in the supermarket building and the whole scheme's striking aesthetic propelled the scheme to acclaim.
'We consider it vital that this aesthetic is retained across the site to reflect the architect's skill in adapting industrial design techniques to fit a range of building types and functions in a challenging setting.'
Grimshaw's building has a raised first-floor podium level, with columns and metal sheeting at ground-floor level to shield the car parking behind and is used as a pedestrian cut-through to the supermarket from Kentish Town Road.
However, documents sent to planners on behalf of the applicant argue the warehouse building is 'dated, unattractive and has a neglected appearance' with the area suffering from 'relentless anti-social behaviour'.
Andrew Phillips' design access statement reads: 'The yard behind the building was designed to cater for and control vehicles only. It presents a hostile environment for pedestrians despite their natural need and desire to cross it to reach Camden Road.'
In 2015, one of the flats in the scheme's residential element, Grand Union Walk, went on sale for £650,000.
Grimshaw was awarded the RIBA Gold Medal last September in recognition of his lifetime's work, which includes his International Terminal at London's Waterloo station and the Eden Project in Cornwall
Andrew Phillips has been approached for comment.
Response from Grimshaw:
Neven Sidor, partner at Grimshaw said: 'The current application for Grand Union House destroys the integrity of what we achieved. The upper part of our Kentish Town Road elevation deploys the same language as the other three frontages of the scheme, and a huge amount of effort went into creating a bespoke cladding language that ties the three constituent parts of the development together. It is entirely possible to rejuvenate the existing cladding system and reapply it to the taller new structure while preserving the elegant horizontality it displays on its upper two levels; this would not impede the new row of cafes and shops below.
We have managed to breathe new life into our listed Herman Miller factory at Bath, converting it into an art school and adding a new storey in the process. It must be possible to do something similar here, and therefore we support the listing request and urge LB Camden to preserve the character of the existing site in any new developments.
Readers' comments (2)
The best part of the Grmishaw scheme is staying (the supermarket) the building they are proposing to demolish makes for some terrible public realm facing onto Kentish Town Road without any ground floor frontages. The Sainsbury delivery vehicle entrance is also overly dominant. You haven't included any photos of the existing building on Kentish Town Road by the way? Slightly false reporting?
This is a good move, well-done team.
I am a big fan of Grimshaw's work in general, and this group of buildings in particular, not least as a regular user of the Supermarket over 20 years.
There is however a need to address the Kentish Town Road frontage, which I suspect has contributed to anti-social behaviour, drug dealing, and knife attacks in the area. The concept of "defensible space", together with "passive over-looking" contributing to enhanced security of the public realm are issues that can and do need to be addressed in any review of this building. This is a societal issue, and this is not a criticism of the architect or the form of the building as originally conceived. Camden has changed dramatically since the time the building was conceived and public safety and security is now a critical issue locally.

Client: U.S. Agency for International Development, U.K. Department for International Development
Duration: 2016-2021
Region: Sub-Saharan Africa
Country: Malawi
Solutions: Governance
More than 20 years have passed since Malawi held its first multi-party elections. The government is now renewing its efforts to decentralize—based on the principle that sustainable socioeconomic development is best achieved when decisions are made locally. Institutional tensions and confusion over responsibilities between government units continue to hinder successful decentralization, despite having a strong governance framework in place. District budgets are still allocated by the central government with little local input, political patronage and lack of supervision have led to a cycle of poor performance by public servants, and crucial information is not shared between levels of government. Pervasive constraints such as these contribute to the failure of local governments to deliver basic services to citizens, which undermines government credibility and public faith in the system.
To ensure more citizens benefit from the effects of decentralization, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has designed the Local Government Accountability and Performance (LGAP) activity. LGAP will work across eight districts to improve local government performance and transparency, increase citizen engagement, and strengthen the enabling environment for decentralization in Malawi.
DAI is taking an integrated systems approach that includes providing local government employees with the tools and skills to improve the quality of service, as well as incentivizing collaboration among local government institutions. Initiatives will be district-led, reinforcing ownership and accountability by local stakeholders and improving their capacity to sustain progress.
View Episodes Two and Three here and here to learn more.
Provide targeted capacity-building assistance specific to the roles and requirements of various public servants, with a focus on solving locally relevant problems rather than broad standardized training.
Identify performance gaps and work closely with embedded teams and local change agents to facilitate institutional reforms and improve organizational effectiveness.
Improve the government accountability system by strengthening existing mechanisms, such as community scorecards and service management committees, while introducing new accountability tools, including public service charters and social audits.
Create a dynamic space for collaboration with programs led by USAID and other donors also working in LGAP districts, integrating development activities at the community, district, and national levels.
GAPP works to improve the legal, policy, regulatory, and institutional environment in Uganda to enhance democratic governance and the engagement of citizens with their local governments.Read More


text: The Commonwealth Stabilization Fund, the state's "rainy day" fund, is a critical component of the Commonwealth's financial structure. For example, amid the Great Recession in fiscal 2009, budgeted tax revenue plummeted by nearly $2.7 billion compared to fiscal 2008. The Stabilization Fund was a key element of the response to the crisis, with nearly $1.3 billion transferred from this reserve to support ongoing programs and projects that year. While budget cuts and other hard decisions were also required, these measures would have been more difficult without the Stabilization Fund.

Adult chat site for iphone
Up until this, I thought things were okay in our marriage, though of course we haven't had much couple time with the demands of four children but this discovery has come as a bolt out of the blue.It wouldn't have been as bad if he was just accessing porn, as I know men do this, but the fact that he was talking to other people has really disgusted me.Of course your husband should not blame you and he must take responsibility for how he has hurt you with his online behaviour, but the two of you must take responsibility for improving the marriage.Though it may be painful, the fact that you have started talking about issues is a good sign.There is a big difference between a person occasionally viewing pornography with the knowledge and even involvement of their partner to a full-blown betrayal and using adult websites to start affairs with other people.Like many problems, it can start innocently at first, with a person visiting sexually titillating sites perhaps out of boredom or a seeking escapism but then it can escalate to other behaviours, such as directly communicating with other people online and over time can become addictive and harmful.You could be chatting with someone next door or someone across the world ! ADULT CHAT FINDER is an amazing chatroom that allows you to chat with new random people, just select the gender that you want to chat with, men or women and press "start a conversation"!
AWith people spending more and more time online, accessing pornography and adult websites can be a big problem in modern marriages.To move forward, it is important that you continue to talk to your husband and try to understand the extent of his difficulties and what the underlying issues are for him.At the heart of the problem of online "infidelity" is the fact that it is usually done in secret and without the partner's knowledge – even with infrequent access this secrecy can reduce the intimacy between the couple and can be a first step on the road to bigger betrayals.ASK THE EXPERT: QI have been married 10 years and we have four children aged 9, 7, 6 and 4.Recently, I discovered that my husband has been using adult chat rooms online and seems to have been communicating in sexually explicit ways with other people.
Search for Adult chat site for iphone:
Real intimacy is created in everyday communication, in the nitty-gritty of sharing a life together and in the hard work of resolving conflicts and accepting the other person as different to you.

If We Are What We Eat, We Are Corn28 Nov
Written by Adam Wile
There are few questions we will face in life as often as the question "what's for dinner?" While this may seem like the simplest of questions it is actually one that deserves far more time and consideration than we often give it. After all, how simple can the answer be when the local grocery store alone will provide us with nearly fifty thousand choices? Couple those fifty thousand with a myriad of fast food, delivery, dine in, take out,and street vendor options and it is amazing we ever choose what to eat at all. Indeed as Michael Pollan writes in his enlightening book on the food we eat, The Omnivore's Dilemma, " when you can eat just about anything nature has to offer deciding what to eat will inevitably stir anxiety."
This is the essence of the omnivore's dilemma. Nature has given humans the gift to eat almost anything. With increased globalization in recent decades it is now possible to get any food at any time of year. The problem now is that we are faced with so many options, we have stopped thinking not only about how what we are eating affects ourselves, but also the world we live in. Pollan, through three different meals he refers to as the Industrial, the Pastoral, and the Personal, examines where the food we are eating comes from and how it affects the world we live in.

An ariel view shows Lucy at the corner of Atlantic and South Decatur avenues in Margate. For my history buddy, John Yates, the GPS coordinates are N39.3206/E-74.5117. (Map downloaded from Bing Maps.)
Lucy as she looks today, towering over an adjacent house on the Margate beachfront. (Photo by Bob Jagendorf downloaded from Flicker.com.)
Lucy is the world's largest elephant, and the only one in America designated as a National Historic Landmark. She was built in 1881 by James V. Lafferty, a Philadelphia real estate developer with a knack for promotion. Lafferty hoped that Lucy would draw people from bustling Atlantic City to buy property from him in Margate which, at the time, was in the middle of nowhere. She was so unique that the United States Patent Office gave Lafferty a patent giving him the exclusive right to make, use or sell animal-shaped buildings for seventeen years.
Lucy was originally named "Elephant Bazaar" until 1900, when she was rechristened Lucy. She was, and still is, an imposing sight, standing six stories tall, weighing 90 tons, covered with 12,000 square feet of sheet tin, and containing nearly one million pieces of wood. Lucy's body is 38 feet long and 80 feet in circumference; Her head, 16 feet long and 48 feet in circumference, sits atop a six feet long neck is that is 48 feet in circumference. Her body stands on 22 feet long legs that are10 feet in diameter with ears that are 17 feet long and 10 feet wide, each weighing 2,000 pounds. She has 22 feet long tusks at one end and a 26 feet long tail on the other end. Her glass, 18 inch round window eyes gaze out toward the Atlantic Ocean, and she is visible to the naked eye up to eight miles.
Lucy showed her versitility over the years, serving as Lafferty's real estate office and then becoming a restaurant, business office, cottage, and tavern which was closed down during prohibition.
A turn of the century postcard shows Lucy during her glory days. (Postcard downloaded from Google Images.)
Lafferty constructed two other elephant-shaped buildings after Lucy. The Elephantine Colossus, also known as the Elephant Hotel, was built at the Coney Island Amusement Park in Brooklyn, New York. The mamouth (Pardon the pun) structure dwarfed Lucy. It stood 12 stories (122 feet) tall, with legs 60 feet in circumference and housed a cigar store in one leg and a diorama display in another. Hotel rooms were located within the elephant's body, and an observation area at the top presented a panoramic view of the nearby ocean. It was destroyed by fire in 1896.

Lafferty's third elephant was was built in Cape May, New Jersey in 1884. Officially named the Light of Asia, it was dubbed Old Dumbo by locals, It was torn down before the turn of the century, giving Lucy the honor of being the sole surviving elephant building.

Lucy nearly didn't survive. Over the years her owners did little or no maintainance, and she became long in the tooth. By the late 1960's, she was an abandoned wreck on the verge of collapse.
Lucy fell into disrepair and was on the verge of callapse in the late 1960's. A "For Sale" sign hangs on her left front leg. (Photo by Yahonza downloaded from Flicker.com.)
Edwin T. Carpenter and a group of Margate citizens formed the Margate Civic Association, in 1969, to save and restore Lucy to her former grandeur. The group eventually became the Save Lucy Committee which, happily, was able to raise funds and move (2 blocks south) and restore Lucy in 1970. She was honored by the designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
Today, for a small admission fee, you can tour Lucy's innards, entering via a spiral staircase in one of her hind legs.

Once inside, you may view a video and some photos of Lucy's facinating history. The tour finishes with a stop in the open-air "howdah" atop Lucy's back. From here you can get a breathtaking view of the Margate beachfront and the Atlantic Ocean.

Our assembled Choir of Conrad, Ashok, Magpie 11, Marianna and Ramana are all tuned up and ready to present another concert in the form of Loose Blogging.
Your National Anthem
– were the very words suggested by Marianna for our topic this week.
Come on; was she trying to test my stress levels or start a war?
I live on the island of Ireland for God's sake! Six of the thirty two counties on that small island are in another country. Six of the nine counties in the Provence of Ulster are part of the UK, and that is where I have had my home for 32 years. Thirty two years with murder and bloodshed around any corner at any time.
I have watched families ruptured and torn apart all because of a flag, an accent or a national anthem. The very words National Anthem are as controversial as FLAGS! We don't have flags in the corner of classrooms or in every office round the Country. Flags are such a thorny subject that in Northern Ireland Flags are banned from the work place. The quiet whistling of a National Anthem in a work place is enough to raise hackles and cause a strike. Mind you it doesn't prevent the painting of Lampposts and kerbstones in some housing estates with the colours of the flag, to show which side has the control in the area. Flags are added to these same light posts, in the month of June each year and left until they rot or are torn by the wind. That is no way to show respect for a flag or country.
A short YouTube video giving a bird's eye view from all sides, of a past we don't want to return to:
There was widespread condemnation after 2 soldiers were shot dead outside an Army barracks in Northern Ireland in March of this year. Four other people were injured – two of them civilians. The shooting happened at Massereene Barracks, which is around 18 miles north of Belfast, and only next door to the grounds of Clotworthy House, a peaceful place I featured last Friday morning, on Sunday and again today.
As I mentioned in my post Last Friday, Reconciliation is a work in progress… very slow progress and we hope and pray that good will win through.
If there was one thing I learned from those awful dark days; it was to make sure that Jack and Elly never left the house on a short or sharp word, and that I told them how much I loved them, as there was no guarantee we would be a complete family unit at the end of any given day.
Rant over, time to come back off that tangent and focus on National Anthems – and there are many!
There is the one I heard as a child growing up in the south of Ireland, it was in the Irish language and the words were mumbled so I never in fact learned them properly. I never ever heard it sung with the English translation.
"Amhrán na bhFiann" (pron: ow-rawn nuh vee-yunn) or in English, "A Soldier's Song", is the national anthem of the Republic of Ireland. The lyrics were first composed in 1907 by Peadar Kearney, he was working backstage at the Abbey Theatre when he penned the lyrics of Amhrán na bhFiann/ The Soldier's Song and, together with Patrick Heeney, set it to music. The song was first published in 1912 and quickly became the most popular of the Irish Volunteer's marching songs.
The first draft, handwritten on copybook paper, sold at auction in Dublin in 2006 for €760,000.
The song has three verses, but the national anthem consists of the chorus only. The Presidential Salute, played when the President of Ireland arrives at an official engagement, consists of the first four bars of the national anthem immediately followed by the last five. The anthem is recommended, but not required, to be taught as part of the civics syllabus in national schools.
In 1920 Kearney was interned for a year in Ballykinlar Internment Camp, County Down. In 1926 Amhrán na bhFiann/ The Soldier's Song was adopted as the National Anthem of Ireland, replacing the unofficial "God Save Ireland".
Kearney's The Soldier's Song and Other Poems was published in 1928. Peadar Kearney was the maternal uncle of author Brendan Behan.
The Irish National Anthem
A Soldier's Song
Sinne Fianna Fáil,
Soldiers are we,
Atá fá gheall ag Éirinn,
whose lives are pledged to Ireland
Buidhean dár sluagh tar rúinn do ráinig
Some have come from a land beyond the wave,
Sworn to be free,
Fámho'dh bhe'rh saor,
no more our ancient sireland
Sean-t'r ár sinnsear feasta
Shall shelter the despot or the slave;
N' fágfar fá'n t'orán ná fa'n tráil;
tonight we man the Bearna Baoghal
Anocht a theigeamh sa bhearna baoghail,
In Erin's cause.
Le gean ar Gaedh' chun báis nó saoghail,
come woe or weal;
Le gunna sgréach: Fá lamhach na piléar.
'Mid cannon's roar and rifle's peal
Seo Libh canaidh amhrán na bhFiann.
We'll chant a soldier's song.
Seo dhibh a cháirde duan oglaidh
We'll sing a song, a soldier's song
Caithréimeach, br'oghmhar, ceolmhar.
With cheering, rousing chorus
ár dteinte cnámh go buacach táid,
As round our blazing fires we throng,
`S an spéir go min réaltógach.
The starry heavens o'er us;
Is fionmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo
Impatient for the coming fight,
'S go tiúnmhar glé roimh tigheacht do'n ló,
And as we wait the mornings light
Fa ciúnas chaoimh na h-oidhche ar seol,
here in the silence of the night
Seo libh, cana'dh amhrán na bhFiann.
We'll chant a soldier's song.
Cois banta réidhe, ar árdaibh sléibhe.
In valley green or towering crag
Ba bhuadhach ár rinnsear romhainn,
Our fathers fought before us,
Ag lámhach go tréan fá'n sár- bhrat séin
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
Tá thuas sa ghaoith go seolta;
That's floating o'er us,
Ba dhúthchas riamh d'ár gcine cháidh
We're children of a fighting race
Gan iompáil riar ó imirt áir,
That never yet has known disgrace,
'Siubhal mar iad i gcoinnibh rámhaid
And as we march the foe to face,
Seo libh, canaidh amhrán na bhFiann.
We'll chant a soldier's song.
A buidhean nach fann d'fuil Ghaoidheal is Gall
Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
Sinn breacadh lae na saoirse,
The Long watched day is breaking;
Tá sgéimhle 's sgannradh ' gcroidhthibh namhad,
The serried ranks of Innisfail
Roimh ranngaibh laochra ár dt're;
Shall set the tyrant quaking.
ár dteinte is tréith gan spréach anois,
Our camp fires now are burning low;
Sin luinne ghlé san spéir anoir,
See in the east a silvery glow,
'S an b'odhbha i raon na bpiléar agaibh:
Out yonder waits the saxon foe,
Seo libh, canaidh amhrán na bhFiann.
So chant a soldier's song.
Ireland's Call
With the Ireland rugby team representing both the Republic and Northern Ireland, "Ireland's Call" was scripted by Phil Coulter to help cross sectarian and national divides and adopted as the rugby anthem in 1995. However, at home matches in Dublin the Irish national anthem, the Soldier's Song, is also sung.
Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call
From the mighty Glens of Antrim
From the rugged hills of Galway
From the walls of Limerick
And Dublin Bay
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call
Hearts of steel
And heads unbowing
Vowing never to be broken
We will fight, until
We can fight no more
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call
Danny Boy
Frederick Edward Weatherly (1848-1929) was an English lawyer, author, songwriter and radio entertainer. He wrote the lyrics of the well-known ballad Danny Boy in 1910, which is set to the tune A Londonderry Air. Weatherly wrote over 3,000 popular songs, including the hymn "The Holy City" and the wartime ballad "Roses of Picardy". Weatherly's sister modified the lyrics to fit "Londonderry Air" in 1913 when Weatherly sent her a copy. Ernestine Schumann-Heink made the first recording in 1915. The tune is played as the Northern Ireland anthem at the Commonwealth Games.
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
Now to the National Anthem in Northern Ireland
God Save the Queen
"God Save the King / Queen" has been the national anthem of Great Britain & Ireland since the beginning of the 19th century. It was thought to be composed by Thomas Augustine Arne (1710-1778) as a patriotic song, and was first publicly performed in London in 1745 after the defeat of "Bonnie Prince Charles", the Jacobite claimant to the throne, by King George II.
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and Glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
Oh, save us all!
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!
Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over
From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!
And there is one more….
We are part of European Union now (even if we don't use the €uro) and Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony – Ode to Joy has become the anthem so to finish I give you a rather unusual version of it.

An invitation to come along to a special Group Meditation.
The full moon in July is an auspicious time in many calendars including the Vedic calendar. It is the fullest moon of the year, when the moon is closest to the earth in all its orbits. This year this falls on 16th July.
This day is referred to Guru Purnima and all over India, and in many parts of the world, puja ceremonies are held to give thanks to the teachers in our lives who have helped us on our spiritual and academic journeys.
You are invited to join us for Guru Purnima on 16th July.
In our Vedic tradition we celebrate this full moon with stories, snacks, sweets, and chai!
Weather permitting, we'll take a walk in the moonlight later that evening to appreciate its fullness.
This event is for Vedic meditators – address supplied on RSVP.

Reblogged from Jane Dougherty Writes:
This Winter Solstice story is one I included in my blog post for the Long and Short Reviews Winter Blogfest. You can read the whole post here, and if you leave a comment you have a chance of winning a digital copy of 'Revelation'.
Sue's Thursday photo prompt is the perfect illustration, so what better excuse could there be for posting the story twice?
Yes, I know, it's an awful pun, 'wether' and 'sheepish' but I decided to leave it in.
Long ago, in the land of the Northmen, as the longest night of the year was beginning, Gudrun was sent to bring in the last of the wethers. He was the biggest, wildest of the curly-horned sheep and a right royal pain in the arse. Gudrun wrapped her thick cloak tight about her and trudged through the snow up to the oak copse where she suspected he would be, gorging himself on the last of the acorns. She called and whistled, more to keep the wild beasts away than with much hope that the daft sheep would come.
The copse was empty. The wind blew flurries of snowflakes between the tree trunks and Gudrun cursed. Beyond the oaks was empty heathland until the fjord dropped away abruptly, and the sea crashed dark and wicked below. It would be just like the gormless creature to have fallen over the edge and be stuck on a ledge. Sure enough, after a quick search, the setting sun through the clouds along the horizon showed her the wether's neat prints. Snow clouds hid the sun, and the wind whined, and in its voice, she heard another sound—someone calling faintly.

Nova Scotia distillery garners international attention, awards
A small business in a Nova Scotia village is celebrating its success as it garners international attention and awards from cities like New York and San Francisco.
Thomas Steinhart and his family have had their finger in the distillery business for generations.
"I learned distilling when I was young from my grandfather. I was, really, I think, four years old," says Steinhart. "My mom has a picture somewhere where I put wood in my grandfather's wood-fired still."
Steinhart built his own vodka and gin distillery in Arisaig, N.S. in 2012 and sold his first bottle in 2014. He uses a variety of herbs, spices and berries to give his spirits a complex, unique flavour.
"Everything I do, if it says strawberry on it, comes from local strawberries," he explains. "If it says maple on it, it comes from local maple."
That has earned the Steinhart Distillery medals from both the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and New York World Wine and Spirits Competition.
"We have the right spot. We have the perfect water for making spirits," says Steinhart.
He employs about half a dozen people, including the carpenter who helped build the distillery.
"We helped do a lot of work here, just stayed on and kept working and never left," says Alan MacGillivary.
Steinhart is now looking to expand his market outside of Canada and will be travelling to China next month to take part in some trade shows.

Buying plants
Climate change and globalisation are having an impact on our gardens and the planet as a whole. We can reduce this impact by buying UK grown plants produced where possible from local nurseries. This reduces your gardens carbon footprint and removes the risk of importing harmful insects and disease that can piggy back into the UK on imported plants. Plant labels are useful. If the label says plant in shade with moist soil, don't buy it and plant it in sun on sandy soil. It will probably die.
Choosing materials
When choosing any materials for your garden; from paving to compost, consider the impact of the product on the environment and the people who produced it. Composts with peat in are very bad for the environment and cheap paving slabs from abroad have often been quarried at great risk to the workers who are often children. Make sure the products you select have been responsibly and ethically sourced by the supplier.
Hedges are best planted from bare root between November to March. Hedge clipping starts in April/May and again in August/ September. Fast growing hedges may need clipping every 6 weeks between April and September depending on weather. Pruning needs to be carried out at the correct time of year to encourage healthy growth and improve flower or fruit production. Many deciduous shrubs are best rejuvenated or pruned over the winter months or early spring. If evergreens are to be pruned its best left until May.
Irrigation Systems
Wherever possible choose plants that are suited to their position and they will grow well without the need for additional watering. But if watering is needed on occasions, then irrigation systems are claimed to use 10 per cent less water than a garden hose, so are worth considering in these circumstances.
Gardeners prune trees and shrubs to remove weak, diseases or damaged stems and branches. This encourages healthy growth with more flowers and fruit. It can also be used to the natural habit and size of a plant or create more stylised shapes or patterns in the form of topiary or hedging.
Embrace them! The UK's seasons, with careful planting choices, create gardens which change appearance and colour dramatically from month to month. Be selective when you tidy perrenials that have finished flowering as many have seed heads that provide shelter and food for wildlife and interesting silhouettes throughout the winter months.

My father would have turned 90 today.
It was a lovely day again.
We had thought about driving out to the Davenport Ranges National Park, to the south of here, to stay for a few days. But I decided that it would be a long and rough trip, involving some 160kms each way of possibly corrugated dirt roads, and therefore not good for my back in its current state. Something else for the "next time" list.
I started taking Brufen today, to try to settle the back down, and had a fairly quiet day.
After lunch, we walked up to the main lookout – that loosened up the back.
Tea – leftover chow mein for John; tinned tuna and salad for me.
