Recent Guest Reviews:
Our rooms were excellent, spacious and contained everything anyone could possibly need. There is a good communal area to relax in with books and magazines, an honesty bar for drinks and snacks. Breakfast in Ole Ole was superb. A couple of minor niggles were no lamp in the bedroom and an additional charge for car parking. This would not put us off staying again or recommending.

In a very central location, close to everything. The mews is stylishly quirky with beams and features, there is an honesty bar which was a nice touch. The receptionists were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is taken in the tapas bar next door and was excellent, we also ate there at night which was delicious. We would stay again and are happy to recommend to others.
We had an excellent stay. The girl on reception was very helpful and professional. Our four poster room was spacious and included a sofa, the en-suite was sparkling clean. The guest lounge contains free tea and coffee plus an honesty bar for drinks. Well located for bars and restaurants. Recommended.

An American Manifesto
Yearnings for a better America by Christopher Chantrill
Now the Psychologists Come Out Against Traditional Masculinity
When viewing the actions of the left, the charitable thing to do is to echo Christ, and say: "forgive them Father, for they know not what they do." The less charitable thing is to tell the truth, that the left is a sink of cruelty and injustice, and that every word uttered by a lefty is a lie, including "and" and "the."
So now the American Psychological Association has come out and declared traditional masculinity to be harmful -- to men, as reported by US News.
Traditional masculinity ideology – which the APA says includes elements of "anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk, and violence" – can be psychologically harmful to men and boys, the association noted in its 36-page "APA Guidelines for the Psychological Practice with Boys and Men" that's highlighted in the latest issue of its Monitor on Psychology magazine.
Well, yes. If you are a lefty, and believe in the left's reactionary secular faith, and think that middle-class mores of resilience and responsibility are sick and wrong, and believe that the exploration of sexuality in a creative manner is the right and true and only way to live -- provided you are not a certified victim of the patriarchy -- then of course you would think that traditional masculinity "can be" harmful to boys and men.
On the other hand if you believe like me that a fruitful way of understanding modern humans is with my reductive Three Peoples theory then you might have a more nuanced view of masculinity.
You might think that, for boys and men in the ghetto, who are People of the Subordinate Self, the notion of masculinity -- as not takin' no dissin' from The Man "can be psychologically harmful," not to say physically harmful. Because the way the world works in the city is that you do not reduce it to gang warfare, but go forth to find out if you can be useful in the economy of the city, and you offer your services on the labor market of that city. An excessive attachment to "risk, and violence" might make that adaptation very difficult.
On the other hand, like Jordan Peterson, you might think that, for middle-class twentysomething men hiding in their parents' basement, a little courage and risk-taking might be a good thing. When BCC North London luvvie Stephen Sackur talks to Jordan Peterson on BBC HARDTalk he wants to link Peterson's responsibility mantra to alt-right anger. Says Sackur:
Anger is a powerful force in politics, and there is a lot of it about. Donald Trump, Brexit, and a host of populist movements have been fueled with anger by the way things are.
No kidding, Stevie! I remember when the left celebrated the anger of the workers, of the feminists, of the civil rights marchers, of the Stonewall rioters. But that was then. This is now.
Hey, Stevie, why do you think that Peterson has struck such a chord (especially with men)? Peterson:
Because I'm having a serious conversation with my viewers and listeners and readers about how to structure their lives individually and the relationship between responsibility and meaning. And it's a level of discourse, or, I would say, of analysis, that people don't often have an opportunity to participate in.
But is it reaching out to men who are angry, replies Stephen Sacker?
Well, no, not exactly. It is giving men who belong to the People of the Responsible Self what they are looking for, a program for them to get out of their parents' basement and become strong and responsible men. Not toxic masculine men, but men programmed and ready to be responsible workers, husbands, and fathers.
You can see the problem, for North London luvvies and lefties on all the ships at sea. Their whole world view is built upon the notion that the responsible middle class is is fact a vast conspiracy to visit injustice on women, minorities, and the victims of all patriarchs and white supremacists. That was what Marxism was about. It appointed itself to the holy task of stopping the bourgeoisie in the act of descending like the angel of vengeance on the poor helpless workers who were toiling away for peanuts in the dark satanic mills and reducing them to "immiseration."
Therefore there must be something wrong with all the culture around the middle-class cult of responsibility: something toxic, something patriarchal, something supremacist. Eeuww!
Only, of course, the workers had migrated from the farm to the mills in the city because they were starving on the farm, and hoped at least to earn enough for bread in the city. And they did earn bread in the city, and much more, because the bourgeois system, of markets and wage labor, by its internal logic, poured a benison of prosperity upon the workers that were formerly starving on the farm.
In fact, of course, my reductive Three Peoples theory -- which is certainly not as reductive as every word out of a lefty's mouth, including "and" and "the" -- also has something to say about the ideology and anger and hate of the average North London media luvvie and the anger and hate in all the lefties in all the ships at sea. These lefties are People of the Creative Self, and their god is the creative self. That is why Nietzsche said that God is Dead. He meant that the old god of responsibility and divine justice was dead because chaps like him -- and well-born scions in Europe everywhere -- no longer believed in responsibility and divine justice as the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. What they believed in, instead, was to be the creator God Himself, creating art, literature, and above all, justice.
Yes, there are a ton of people out there that believe that the most creative thing in the world is to use political power to create a perfect state with perfect equality and perfect justice, ruled over by them and their cronies. Their record thus far is 100 million dead. Way to go, lefties!
As I said, everything lefties say and believe is a lie, including "and" and "the."
Now, it happens that I believe, in part, in the ukase of the American Psychological Association. I agree that if you are a would-be creative then the traditional masculine culture of "anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk, and violence" is not for you. You are not planning to be a warrior, willing to risk your life defending the borders of your patch of land against the village next door, or even a soldier in a national army defending the borders of the nation state from foreign marauders. So it doesn't make any sense for a would-be creative to train in the martial arts, to work hard at attaining a reputation for courage, to be adventurous, and make people fear your terrible swift sword. OK, bully for you, creatives. Although you might want to look into Nietzsche, who said that to become an Übermensch, a superior man, you had to be hard. I think he means that the path of a creative artist is not for the faint of heart, in particular because in the creative arts many are called but few are chosen.
But not all people in the world are People of the Creative Self. The qualities that a creative person must develop are not the qualities that People of the Responsible Self and People of the Subordinate Self must develop. And it is cruel and ignorant to marginalize the qualities that these other people must develop if they are to understand the "relationship between responsibility and meaning" in their lives, and so on.
The great contribution that lefties made to the world was to say to the bourgeoisie, back in the 19th century: you chaps should not create a society just to suit yourselves, the responsible middle class. what about the workers? They want and need protective social structures, things like labor unions and wage and hour laws, that may mean nothing to you bourgeois chaps, but are very important to them.
Good point lefties. Now, a word. Have you not noticed that the dreaded bourgeoisie has acceded to the demands of the workers, and permitted a huge welfare state go grow up, even though it is not in the interest and the culture of the middle class, and even though the middle class has to bear most of the cost of the welfare state, which does nothing for them except make it more difficult to afford a house, to start a business, and to provide for the future? You haven't noticed? Dear me, where have you been, leftie?
Now I say this. You lefties and luvvies and creative bigots have basically said: we are going to build a society that is suitable and comfortable for us, the People of the Creative Self, and you racist sexist homophobic bigots of the People of the Responsible Self can go pound sand.
Do you not see, lefties, and luvvies and creative bigots, that this is cruel and unjust? Because it says that there is no room in the world except for people like you? Is not this the argument you made against the middle class 150 years ago, that the middle class was making a world to suit itself without a thought for the poor helpless working class?
Until you lefties and luvvies and creative bigots start to get a glimmer of this, you are going to find, in the words of leftie luvvie Stephen Sackur, that there is going to be a lot of anger comin' on. And unless you lefties and luvvies and creative bigots allow a space for other kinds of people, the notorious "other" of which we've heard tell, then the anger is going to grow and grow.
Because most people aspire no higher than a modest life of responsibility and work and family and children and grandchildren. They don't want to get all creative about sex, or about morality, or about art, or about anything in particular. And they deserve a place at the table too, one little place alongside all the magnificent gilded thrones reserved for activists and artists and politicians, and writers and intellectuals and all the rest of the People of the Creative Self.
I say that this is the defining issue of our age: that the People of the Creative Self learn tolerance for people who are not like them. Or else.

Eggplant is a great source of dietary fiber, Vitamin B, Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, copper, manganese, potassium, folate and Vitamin K.
Most importantly, eggplant has the phytonutrients, nasunin and chlorogenic acid.
Phytonutrients are very important for antioxidant activity. Eggplant has antimutagenic (anti-cancer), antimicrobial (anti-LDL - bad cholesterol) and anti-viral activities.
Cancer cells are the body's own cells which have lost control. They grow and multiply in abnormal ways. Nasumin helps prevent and restrict new growth of blood vessels for cancer tumor growth.
Nasumin is an antioxidant which combines iron compounds and prevents them from forming free radicals which destroy cells and cellular DNA. It acts like chelation therapy (treatment used in for removing heavy metals, including mercury, from the blood). It prevents peroxidation of cholesterol in the blood, eliminates the building up of plaque in the blood vessels, keeps the heart and cardiovascular system healthy, and protects lipids in brain cell membranes too.
The nutrients are found in the skin of the eggplant. When you choose an eggplant, check that the stem, cap and skin have a bright green and purple shining color; not soft. When you shop for vegetables choose ones with purple color like sweet potato, potato, cabbage, lettuce, purple fruit also.
A simple way to enjoy eggplant is by steaming it. Make a sauce for it to give it flavor. Use meat if you like. You can also an eggplant dip with garlic for even more nutritional value. One way you can do this is by using garlic and bean paste, vinegar and hot pepper. MAKE SURE TO USE ORGANIC!
When you order in a restaurant, try to order dishes with purple eggplant.

Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Music field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Music majors need many skills, but most especially Active Listening. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Music majors need more than the average amount of Coordination, Social Perceptiveness, and Monitoring.
These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Music majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Coordination is very distinctive for majors, but the Active Listening, Coordination, and Speaking are the three most important skills for people in the field.

1) Index rebuild works by re-creating the index internally again and when that has been achieved, it drops the existing index where as index reorganize is the process of physically re-organizing the leaf nodes of the index.
2) During the index rebuild process, the statistics are also re-computed – same as when a new index gets created. Reorganize on the other hand does not update the statistics. Reorganize essentially just swaps one page with another and thus does not require free space for this operation like rebuild does. Infact, reorganize can free up some pages as it does the reorg in two phases – compaction and defrag. A reorganize can remove almost all of the logical fragmentation but it cannot necessarily fix extent fragmentation in which the previous and the next extents are physically contiguous.
3) Another point to note is that an index (clustered or non-clustered) cannot be built online if it contains LOB data (text, ntext, varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max), image and xml data type columns). The ALTER INDEX…REORGANIZE command shown above is the same as DBCC INDEXDEFRAG but there is one difference. ALTER INDEX…REORGANIZE has some additional features like large objects compaction (LOB_COMPACTION). And this is an online operation.
4) Regarding partitions of an index, if an index has multiple partitions, then you cannot rebuild a single partition online. You can reorganize a single index partition online. If you want to rebuild an index with multiple partitions in an online environment, you need to rebuild the entire index which means rebuilding all the partitions.
So, how frequently should one do the rebuild/reorganize? Like many answers in the IT field, it depends 🙂 It depends on the fillfactor, it depends upon the amount of the data that is changed between the rebuild/reorganize operations and it depends upon what logical fragmentation value you consider to be the threshold for forcing these operations.
An additional question that was raised by one of our colleagues was whether the statistics on non-indexed columns also get re-computed when a rebuild is done? He was talking about the auto create statistics (the ones that you would have seen with the names like _WA_sys_xxxx) or the ones that are explicitly created by using the create statistics command. If we are rebuilding an index, does it make sense to also rebuild those at the same time especially if there is any co-relation between them? Does that happen automatically upon a rebuild? The answer is no. It cannot happen automatically since the co-relation is not stored anywhere and those statistics are stored separately from those indexes. In SQL Server 2008, there is a DATE_CORRELATION_OPTIMIZATION database SET option which can help improve the performance of those queries in which 2 tables are in an inner join condition and whose date/datetime data-type columns are co-related example: PO_HDR might have ORDER_DATE and PO_DTL might have PACK_DATE, SHIP_DATE, DUE_DATE etc.. I will check to see whether a rebuild in that case forces the re-build on the co-related index as well and if no index exists, whether the stats are re-computed on those co-related columns if this option is on. Will post our results here once we are done with my tests.

The Killer App for the cable TV industry is: Peer-to-peer entertainment on demand using thick client PVR STBs.
If a MSO employs the peer-to-peer software on their thick client STBs, they can re-purpose their STB network and have the customer pay to pay for the electricity and for the rental of the server box (which can always be on) to serve entertainment content to other customers on their network. For example, if someone in Phoenix watches "Bonnie and Clyde," it gets pulled down the first time from the MSO's server, to their PVR STB and they watch it. If someone in Scottsdale orders "Bonnie and Clyde," shortly after, it can be served from the Phoenix consumer's home or from the main MSO server, depending upon how busy the network is. This way the server load is distributed. The MSO gets to be the Napster for its own entertainment licensed catalog. This is a huge money maker. It will subsidize the roll-out of thick client STBs with PVRs. MSOs will gladly obsolete their older thin client STBs to allow the customer to start ordering on demand movies over their system.
See the recent Red Herring's Sep. 1, 2001 issue article called "Peer Pressure" on page 62. It shows a handful of software companies working on the video on demand peer-to-peer solution.
Magazines suggest that economic boom is based on the latest great idea. When a bunch of great ideas happen at the same time, the economy thrives. Three years ago the group were the Palm Pilot, the Sony Playstation, Windows98, the DVD player and the compact cell phone. All of these were exciting and required great expenditures, which people gladly made for the new opportunities inherent in each. In the last two years (in the USA) there has been nothing of interest. Hence, the downturn.
Replacing millions of STBs and leasing everyone a new thick STB to get on demand entertainment along with being able to stop live TV will make a lot of people excited. This will qualify as one of the Great New Ideas needed to make the economy rebound. Add a couple more, like the X-Box, Windows XP and somethings yet un-conceivable and we will be back in a boom cycle again. It always happens. And it will be exciting, by definition.
The best is yet to come. I'm sure of it.

South Shore Genealogical Society | Margeson, Capt. J. W.
From: Margeson, Capt. J. W.
As we are on the eve of departure from England for the Continent, I thought it might interest your readers to receive a brief account of our sojourn in this country. We have been here since May 31st, preparing for the work which must now be undertaken. Our camp is beautifully situated, sheltered between the hills in the County of Kent. In this valley about 75,000 Canadian boys are in training. London is 60 miles away and on week-ends I occasionally run up to see the sights in that most wonderful city. One of the famous Cinque Ports, Hythe, lies just in front of us on the Atlantic Ocean. Only a few miles distant to the south-west William I. landed in 1066, and a few miles to the north-east Julius Caesar landed in 55 B.C. and made Britain a Roman Province. I have visited both spots and I can assure you it made me think. Only one mile from this camp stands the castle where the murderers of Thomas a Becket halted on their journey to Canterbury. At Sandgate, two and a half miles away, the great Temperance Reformer, John B. Gough, was born. Canterbury, with its religious associations, is only 15 miles distant. In my spare moments I have seen as much as I could of this country for I may never travel this way again. The training has been very thorough. Our men came from Nova Scotia physically fit to undertake hard work and hard conscientious work they have done. From 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. there has been little time for play. All the men have had their practice at the Hythe shooting ranges, which are looked upon as the finest in the world. Trench warfare has been undertaken and it would surprise you to see how quickly the 25th Battalion can "dig themselves in " and prepare to meet the foe. Much more has been accomplished which I am not privileged at the present time to make known. However, you can take it from me that the boys are ready – prepared to fight, prepared to die if necessary for the preservation of those liberties which Canadians have enjoyed across the seas.
Our Brigade (the 5th) is comprised of the 22nd Regiment (French Canadian); 24th Regiment (Victoria Rifles, Montreal); 25th, (Nova Scotia) Regiment. Col. Watson is brigadier. He has seen service at the front and is an excellent officer. Col LeCain is very popular in the battalion; the boys have every confidence in him and are prepared to follow him wherever he leads. Major L. H. McKenzie, of Stellarton, the adjutant, is one of our hardest worked officers. I have recently been appointed assistant adjutant, which, with my duties as paymaster, gives me long working hours. However, that is what I came over for and so long as my health is good, I shall not complain. We have just completed our list of men for the front. We are taking 1,025 officers, non-commissioned officers and men, together with several interpreters. We have not had a death in the battalion since coming across. The men are kept in the best possible physical condition, get plenty of good, fresh air and are well clothed and fed. We hear no grumbling from any one. The 17th Battalion is our reserve battalion, from which we will get our drafts of men as we require them. We are only allowed to take 35 lbs. personal baggage on the transport, the rest we must carry on our backs.
Tomorrow morning we have a parade in full marching order and inspection by the brigadier. I can assure you it will tax all my strength to carry my load. The boys from Lunenburg County are all well. Capt. W. L. Whitford is my room mate and is looked upon as one of our best officers. Lieuts. Mosher and Murphy are doing creditable work. Harry MacIntosh, Lunenburg, is quarter-master Sergeant, C. Company, while Sergt. Roy King is in the same Company. G. C. Nicholl is in the quartermaster's stores, Gordon W. Hall is the medical orderly and expects soon to be transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, Sydney Hallimore and Thomas Nass are both hard workers, Frank Zwicker, Harold Aulenbach and Joseph Bolivar are on the staff as batmen, J. Neilson and W. H. Corkum are always on the job. The latter is Enam's son. G. Edmonds is in the A.M.C. Lieut. Gerald Cragg and the boys with him are getting on fine. J. W. Hamm, of New Germany, is a shoeing Sergeant in the Artillery. M. Freda, from Chester, is not far from us. Harry Chase is with the 6th Mounted Rifles. Capt. R. J. MacMeekin, formerly of the 17th, is with the Canadian Army Dental Corps. He looks well and feels fine. I hope I have not left any names out but as I have only a few minutes to draft this hastily written letter I may have done so. There is one thing Lunenburg County can be proud of "No crime sheets appear against our boys." All seem convinced of the hard and serious task which lies before them. Of the boys in the first contingent I heard good reports from all. I saw Hilchey, Caldwell, Millett, Mader and Wile. The former was wounded. The rest of the boys I have not run across as yet, but hope to before long.
I noticed by the press that patriotic meetings were held in Lunenburg County on the 1st anniversary of the war. Meetings are good, but action must follow them. We need men, but above all machine guns and ammunition. We have been fighting men against guns. We cannot keep this up. We will win, but not until our guns are as effective as those of our enemy and our ammunition as plentiful. Our men are better, but we need the stuff to back them up. Thank Heaven it is coming and before long you will see the result of it. The man who sits at home and thinks this war can be waged successfully without doing something is making a mistake. All cannot come over here. It is at great personal sacrifice that many of us have come. Everyone can do something to help the cause along. The purchasing power of $1.00 is more today in Canada than it is here.
I saw Admiral Beatty's squadron the other day and it certainly was a sight to see the Dreadnoughts and smaller craft all ready for battle but unable to find an opponent ready to grapple with them. I hear no politics discussed over here. The people are thinking of other things. I would like to see our Canadian people following their example. We have had inspections by the King, Lord Kitchener, the Premier of Canada, Sir Sam Hughes and the Hon. Bonar Law. All seemed pleased with the troops as they passed under review. I must not stop without mentioning the good work of the hospital staffs. The Canadian doctors and nurses from Canada are also doing a noble service. The Red Cross Church Institutes and Y.M.C.A.'s are on the spot lending their aid. Taken together it is a great organization running like a perfect piece of machinery. It has been raining nearly every day since St. Swithin's, but we hope to see a change soon. We have been visited with hostile air craft, but so far no bombs have fallen on our camps, although I think this was one of their objectives. Our airmen are right on the job. We should not, I suppose, fight in the spirit of revenge, but the action of the Huns in submarining passenger ships and killing women and children is enough to make our blood run cold. You can hardly realize the dastardly type of warfare they wage. We will fight fairly and will win in the end.
[Berwick Register ofDecember 15, 1915] A Correction. – A Halifax paper says: Captain J. W. Margeson, M.P.P. for Lunenburg, is understood to be returning on the Pretorian in charge of 150 wounded soldiers. The report that he was returning to "reorganize the pay department in Nova Scotia" was incorrect on the face of it – as some other of the current gossip in London cabled to Canada is incorrect, and is officially denied from Ottawa. The pay department of Nova Scotia is in the expert capable hands of Colonel Sircom, and in no military division in Canada is the pay department in more perfect condition. Many officers being recalled from the front will come home in charge of wounded soldiers, and during their stay in Canada will doubtless be employed in the special service of addressing recruiting meetings. Captain Margeson will be eminently successful in this connection.

Tall tales abound about why the "unsinkable" Titanic did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do, taking 1500 of its 2200 passengers with it to the bottom of the ocean.
The demise of this luxury passenger liner, which hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank in under two hours during its maiden voyage in 1912, is still the subject of controversy more than a century later.
The experts can't agree on the reasons why.
Was it that the shipbuilders, experiencing a flurry of major projects, used sub-standard steel? Some say yes.
Was it that a good portion of the three million rivets holding the hull together contained high levels of slag, making them fracture prone? Others offer this is as the answer.
Or was it that the steel was too brittle to handle the icy conditions and simply fractured on impact with that damned iceberg? There's another group weighing in with evidence there.
We reckon the team at Victorian Testing and Inspection Services – if we were on the job at the time – could at least have vouched for the quality (or otherwise) of the materials used in the Titanic's manufacture.
The Titanic was, at the time of sailing, the largest and most luxurious passenger liner of its time and unfortunately the development and standardisation of the Charpy test was in its infancy.
But just think: if we were on hand, there'd be no controversy to settle more than a century later, no sunken Titanic, no missing passengers … and no teeth-gnashing over Celine Dion's rendition of My Heart Will Go On, the featured song from the 1997 movie of the same name!


Goldner Walsh has sold out their wedding venue for 2 years in a row and has more than 10 top ranked keywords on google. Energy Shield Received over $2,000,000 in leads (200 leads, 2.8 million impressions). Lafayette Grande received over 300 leads in 6 months - selling out for 2019.

That's our motto. Our focus is on your small business. Good big brand creative isn't always available to great companies. Let's work together to make sure everyone knows the greatness of your small business.
Oh, it's simple – we use data, experience, research, and creativity to formulate effective campaigns. We understand how your business works, and how your customers perceive it and find underlying values and ways to promote it from a real perspective for potential customers. For example, one of Lafayette Grande's best performing ads on a PPC campaign is "Budget-Friendly Wedding Venue | Luxury At Reasonable Rates | The Lafayette Grande – Wedding Packages include Excellent Cuisine, Open Bar, Dinner Service & Ballroom Rental. Check us out today!" This ad has a conversion rate of 10%. It may seem plain to you, but to a 20-year-old bride-to-be, or the parents of a 20-year-old bride-to-be, it sings a song.
"The world isn't run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money. It's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data. It's all just electrons." (Sneakers, 1992) That statement has never been truer. Yep, the world is run on information. The more information we have, the better we can guide customers and clients to your door. So we collect gobs of data in order to determine the best course of action in any campaign.
Experience drives us to know what to ask, when to ask it, and who to ask. We have more than 50 years of advertising and marketing experience all available for you at dorsay. We use this experience to solve your problems, promote your business, and guide you in the right direction.
All of our campaigns include research. We conduct tons of research from what competitors are doing, to what your customers want. We ask questions that help us understand the psychology, and desires of your patrons in order to shape what you offer to fit into their hands. Each type of customer is segmented into personas, we develop these personas to help guide us in how to present your offerings, services, and products to your potential and current customers.
When you combine your data, our research, and experience with the creativity, you end up with stellar marketing and advertising campaigns that convert.

Council kicks in $188,000 for community events and projects
The Mackay Chinese Association will be able to celebrate the Chinese New Year with their customary flair thanks to a $7500 council Community Grant approved this week.
The Community Grant is part of a wider funding round totalling about $188,000 that also includes Small Equipment Grants, Minor Assets Grants and Minor Infrastructure Grants.
The Chinese New Year event, to be held at the Bluewater Quay on February 12, 2022, will bring the popular traditional Chinese lion dancers (from Brisbane) back to our region.
It will also feature a face changing performance, Tai Chi and Kung Fu performances, fan dancing, traditional songs, New Year games and cultural food stalls.
Community Grants Committee chair Cr Laurence Bonaventura said he was pleased to see the Chinese community active in promoting and sharing their culture.
"It's great that council is able to support this vibrant event with a Community Grant – and it's just one of many," Cr Bonaventura said.
"Council was also able to approve a $2000 grant for the Mackay Tournament Anglers to assist with running fishing competitions on our stocked barramundi dams," he said.
"These local tournament anglers are extremely active in promoting our freshwater fisheries as world class angling destinations, so it's excellent to be able to support their competitions that attract like-minded anglers to our region.
"This funding round has also allowed council to put financial support behind popular events like the Mackay Charity Zombie Walk ($3033) and Mackay Swimming Academy's Great Barrier Reef Swimming Carnival ($5000)."
Cr Bonaventura said the lion's share of the funding went to not-for-profit groups and clubs to support vital infrastructure and minor assets projects.
"The largest of these grants went to the Eungella Community Development Association," he said.
"The Association received $28,260 to provide all-weather access to the rear of the Eungella Hall.
"That facility it a well-used community hub, hosting everything from music concerts to community meetings, and during the bushfires it became a kitchen and coordination centre for volunteers in the area.
"Mackay Show Association will use their $20,000 for fencing the main arena and the same amount was approved to help install an electric kiln at the Pioneer Valley Arts gallery."
Also approved during this funding round were:
Sarina Pony Club Inc - $1500 for cavalleti blocks
Dragons Abreast Mackay - $999 for a new notebook computer
Mackay Cyclones Swimming Club Inc - $1500 for a large equipment cage
With One Voice - Mackay and Surrounds - $1500 for a refurbished photocopier/printer
QCWA - Seaforth Branch - $1500 for computer equipment
Victoria Park State School P&C Association - $4500 for an upright tuckshop freezer
Road Accident Action Group Inc - $2374 for posters for a Wide Loads project
Minor Assets Grants
Palmyra Drag Racing Club Inc - $10,894 for a multi-purpose track scraper
Mackay Society of Model Engineers - $11,000 for building lining and painting
Happy Paws Happy Hearts Foundation - $8695 to fit-out a newly training facility
Seaforth Men's Shed Inc - $7000 for a welder and sanding equipment
Eton Primary P&C Association - $7000 for a new mower
Mackay Hurricanes Cricket Club Inc - $1701 for computer equipment
Minor Infrastructure Grants
Mackay Wanderers Football Club - $8000 for top-dressing of the main fields
Phoenix Place Inc - $8000 for anti-slip treatment of external tiled flooring
Calen District State College P&C Association - $26,000 for the renovation of a communal food preparation and servicing area
Round two of council's Community Grants and Small Equipment Grants (totalling $188,000) are now open. Not-for-profit groups and clubs can apply here.

I agree with your comments about the demeanour of wise and compassionate people, some of whom will be referenced in this book. As you have met some of these people might it not be that unless you have met people at this level, reading books about them might not have much value compared to those who read following personal experience?
The comment I made about confusion was not directed at the authors of the book, nor the book itself, but rather at an editorial reviewer posted on Amazon that probably did the book no favours with poor understanding and logic. I do not think I qualify for 'wilful misreading', perhaps you qualify for a preconcieved reading when criticism is offered?
Sorry, TB. My mistake. I certainly misread what you wrote - though not wilfully - just careless. Inexcusable. Sorry.

Well, it's been about 3 weeks since I sold the car.
I've discovered a few surprising things.
1) My progressive tree-hugging liberal friends are the most judgey of my choice. Who woulda thought!
2) The vast majority of my driving was not necessary and was, in fact, mostly just me being lazy or doing things because I could.
3) I do NOT need to go to Target three times a week.
4) I really actually hardly leave a five block radius of my house!
5) Being car-less has made me a little bit more tree-huggy. Walking to the grocery story makes me more apt to bring my own bags (which are more comfortable to carry home). I also bring my own cup everywhere (it sits much nicer in my bike basket than a paper cup).
It hasn't been that hard. And I'm saving a ton of money. And at the rate I'm going I'm going to have thighs of steel by Christmas.
I've used ZipCar once and it was AWESOME.
I also rode the train to San Francisco and that was also awesome. But it did make me bummed I don't live there because their ZipCar choices were WAY better than what I have here! But otherwise….the trip was one of the nicest I've taken.
Previously, I think I spent somewhere around $700 a month on my car payment, insurance, gas and maintenance. So far this month I've spent under $200 on traveling around town which included a new bike tire, train tickets and a ZipCar trip. Not too shabby.
And….my life has not changed very drastically at all. And I'm probably a little bit healthier.
I'm doin' ok with this this whole car-less thing!

FCA Canada CEO Reid Bigland has been appointed to oversee the FCA group's Alfa Romeo and Maserati brands, CEO Sergio Marchionne announced Tuesday.
Bigland, who was responsible for Alfa Romeo's return to North America, will retain his dual role as head of sales in the U.S and Canada.
Bigland replaces Harald Wester, who will be able to devote his full attention to the role of chief technology officer, a role which he held while developing the Maserati and Alfa Romeo products and brands.
"I am thankful for the work Harald has carried out in the last few years establishing a sound technical framework for our two premium brands and which has culminated in the recent launch of the Maserati Levante and the Alfa Romeo Giulia," said Marchionne.
Bigland and Wester will continue to serve on the Group Executive Council – the highest management body in FCA chaired by Marchionne, comprised of the senior functional and operating heads of the global organization.

Whilst it might not be big geographically, Israel has a huge array of attractions and places to visit. With this is in mind, many travellers are quite daunted by the prospect of travelling to Israel, and are unsure of where to start when creating an itinerary. Here are our top ten tips to creating the perfect Israeli vacation.
Israel has a mild climate all year round meaning there really isnt a time to avoid visiting Israel. The summer months are, however, generally very hot, with average temperatures over 30 degrees celsius, whilst the winter months can be unpredictable with storms often lasting a few days at a time. Having said this, the winter months can also see some very pleasant spring-like weather. The best months for travelling to Israel are, in our opinion, May and October as the weather is most temperate and comfortable, although there are really no no-go months. Read more about the weather in Israel, here.
Often the length of a trip to Israel is dictated by work vacations or school breaks, meaning there is only a limited time window. It is safe to say, however, that whether you have one week, or one month, you wont come anywhere near to seeing everything this country has to show. Ten days to two weeks are probably the best length of time to get a good feel for Israel, allowing you to tour around and spend a few days in the major tourist destinations of Jerusalem, the Galilee, the Dead Sea, and Tel Aviv.
Most tourists arrive in Israel by plane. Israel's main airport is Ben Gurion Airport and airlines fly here from around the world. From the USA and Canada, direct flights come from New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Toronto, although many travellers opt to travel via Europe as this can not only work out cheaper, but breaks up the length of the journey. From Europe, there are flights from most major cities, and increasingly, fares are being offered by low-cost airlines.
So you know when you're in Israel, but how you get around, dictates where you stay and what you'll do. Some travellers decide to base themselves somewhere, and then take day trips or overnight trips, whilst others opt to tour around, staying a few nights in a number of places. The easiest way to get around in Israel is by rental car. With most major international car hire firms having branches here, it is a cost effective and easy way to travel around. If you are unable to drive, then the Israeli train network is very comfortable, although not too extensive, although the bus network is very extensive, covering most of the country. A word of warning though, public transport is very limited between sundown on Friday and Saturday night due to the Sabbath.
Knowing how you will get around will now allow you to plan how you wish to split up your trip to Israel. It really does depend on how much time you have, as to how long to spend somewhere. In 2 weeks, we would suggest that you spend 5 nights in Jerusalem, 2 at the Dead Sea, 3 in Tel Aviv, and 4 in the Galilee region. Eilat takes the best part of a day to travel to from most of the country, and therefore in 2 weeks, there isnt really time to get here, unless you really want to!
Obviously where you can stay depends largely on your budget. Hotels in Israel vary from hostels and campsites, right up to high-end boutiques and even converted mansions. Hotels in Jerusalem range from a large number of hotels geared up to tourists ranging from some prestigious, historic properties, to some cheaper, more generic alternatives. Many Hotels in Tel Aviv, have, in recent years become boutique hotels, whilst there are also some great beach front properties and hostels. Spa-style hotels dominate at the Dead Sea, where there are a lot of spa-style resort hotels, as well as some great quality hostels. Hotels in the Galilee range from large resort hotels, to the very popular small bed and breakfasts called Zimmers which can be very luxuirous, quaint and relaxing!
There will probably be some places you've known you want to go to for some time. There will also be places such as the Western Wall and Yad Vashem Museum that most tourists to Israel take time to visit. There will then be places that you havent even heard of yet, that you'll want go to! The best thing to do is to look with an open mind in the area you are staying for things which appeal to you rather than to look for certain types of attraction. There are some seriously unique places to go in Israel, and its so easy to overlook them!
The trips fast approaching and you're now wondering what clothes to take to Israel with you! From the perspective of being respectful, take some clothes with long sleeves and trousers as these are required in certain places. In most of the country, however, you can wear anything (and we mean anything) and noone will raise an eyebrow. Look at the weather for that time of the year, and pack accordingly. We'd always advise, even in summer that you bring some warmer clothes as the evenings can get quite cool once the sun has set, especially in the desert.
Will my kids like the food in Israel? Can I get a wi-fi connection? Will I be able to call home?... Loads of questions will no doubt enter your mind as the trip approaches. Yes is the answer to all three of the above questions. Remember, Israel is a very westernised country, and all the services you expect and take for granted at home, will be available! So sit back, relax and enjoy the flight.
You've arrived, so enjoy it. Relax and stay safe. Remember that Israelis are really hospitable people, and will be more than willing to help you if you have any questions. Have a great time, and dont forget to send us your photos when you get home!
With so much coastline, Israel is not short of beaches. Here are some of our picks along the Mediterranean and Sea of Galilee coastlines.
Located about half way between Tel Aviv and Haifa, Caesarea has two of Israel's best beaches, the Harbor Beach, and Aquaduct Beach.
One of Israel's most unique beaches is at the Caesarea Harbor. This archaelogical site is one of the world's oldest ports, and inside the cove lies a quaint and well maintained beach - the Harbor Beach. Although an entry fee of 25 NIS fo adult/20 NIS for child is required, this beach has great facilities, including a lifeguard, changing rooms, and an all important bar/cafe. Combine this with a visit to Caesarea's ancient ruins, for an even more special day.
The Aquaduct Beach might not be in Caesarea's National Park, but has a stunning location of its own. Located in front of an ancient Aquaduct, the beach is breathtaking although facilites are not as good.
Read more about Caesarea here.
An upscale neighborhood just 20 minutes north of downtown Tel Aviv, Herzliya seems worlds away, and its beaches are extremely popular. Herzliya Beach is a long clean, lifeguarded stretch of beach which runs from the Marina in the South to the area of Nof Yam in the North. The beach gets incredibly crowded in the summer, especially at weekends, however.
Read more about Herzliya here.
Tel Aviv's 14 mile long stretch of coastline has so many beaches, that we've dedicated a whole page to them here.
Hilton Beach is located in the north of the city, and is one of the city's youngest, trendiest beach, and unofficially the city's gay beach. Gordon-Frishman beach is right in the center of the city and is packed in the summer as people chill out from their hectic days. The Banana Beach is great for a relaxing evening drink, whilst the Dolphinarium Beach is renowned for its Friday music festivals! And maybe, the most laid back beach in the city, Alma Beach is quieter because it has no lifeguard.
Where do Tourists Really Like to go?
Forget London and Paris, two of the world's tourist magnets, each attracting tens of millions of tourists each year, it seems that Jerusalem is a more favored destination!
A survey by Travel + Leisure magazine has ranked the 'City of Gold' the 17th best tourist destination in the world, making it more popular than London, Paris, and Barcelona.
Jerusalem is really a unique city - nowhere else holds such importance to so many people being holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims. The ancient sites lie next to modern attractions, and a Western infrastructure supports it all. Plus, the rest of Israel is nearby, with Tel Aviv and the Dead Sea well under an hour away. Read more about travelling in Jerusalem here.
Now all we need is some more tourists to enjoy it and make us number one next year!
The Dead Sea is now the only remaining Israeli contender in the competition to find the new 7 Wonders of the World among the 77 remaining worldwide contenders.
Tourism Minister Stas Meseznikov announced an international campaign for the Dead Sea to win the competition, by emphasizing the uniqueness of this natural wonder.
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth, some 420 meters below sea level. Being nominated as a wonder would probably be more beneficial to this wonder than many others. Firstly, it is shrinking at an alarming rate of meters every year, and secondly, it is shared between the Israelis, Palestinians, and Jordanians meaning saving it is a coexistence priority for the three peoples.
Gura Berger, spokesman for the Megillot Dead Sea Regional Council, said that "part of the idea behind listing the Dead Sea for this competition was to raise international public awareness about this bad situation. I believe that winning is to be able to tell people that the Dead Sea is vanishing at a rate of more than a meter a year."
Berger said the municipality had organized a rock festival dedicated to helping the Dead Sea and "calling people to vote," as well as the "Tour of the Dead Sea" campaign and many other events.
"Winning in such a competition means a lot [not only] in terms of tourism, but also about caring for the environment," said Berger. "If we win, it means that we care where we live… and this is the real victory."
According to Amnon Lieberman, media adviser to the tourism minister, there is "no doubt [the nomination] will increase tourism and attract public attention from all over the world. This competition will allow us [also] to emphasize why the Dead Sea is so unique."
Asked whether he was optimistic about the final nomination of the Dead Sea, Lieberman said, "This candidacy is still lasting after a year. It has already been through two phases, and I hope that we will get to the final phase."
The voting for the final round will begin July 22 at www.new7wonders.com, and is expected to continue into 2011. Please vote and help to save this true wonder of the world.

Mozambique: Kidnap Victim Rescued
May 20, 2020 Legal Judicial
Maputo — The Mozambican police have rescued businessman Rizwan Nuruddin Adatia, who was kidnapped three weeks ago, reports Wednesday's issue of the independent newssheet "Carta de Mocambique".
He was rescued at about 06.00 on Wednesday morning from a house in Mulotana locality, in Boane district, about 30 kilometres west of Maputo – despite the fact that on Tuesday evening, the Maputo Provincial Chief Attorney, Evelina Comane, had told Radio Mozambique that the authorities had no clues as to the whereabouts of Adatia.
The National Criminal Investigation Service (SERNIC) clearly chose to keep Comane and her office in the dark about its investigations.
Wednesday's on-line edition of the daily paper "O Pais", says the police have detained two men and a woman in connection with the kidnapping. The woman, named only as Priscila, is allegedly the girlfriend of the man who ordered the abduction, and who is said to be living in South Africa.
Priscila, the paper said, had been promised 150,000 meticais (about 2,170 US dollars) for her part in the crime. She tried to get rid of evidence by destroying the mobile phone through which she had communicated with her boyfriend.
According to SERNIC sources quoted by "O Pais", the kidnappers initially demanded a ransom of five million dollars, but in the subsequent negotiations dropped their demand to 300,000 dollars.
Adatia was abducted on 30 April, as he was driving through the Fomento neighbourhood of the southern city of Matola. The kidnappers blocked his vehicle at a set of traffic lights, and grabbed him at gunpoint.

Hydra is the largest constellation of all, but also one of the least known since so many of its stars are 4th- and 5th-magnitude or fainter. Also, while Hydra contains a number of Messier objects and other DSOs, none could be considered �exceptional�. There are, however, several very fine binaries and some notable variables. And --like Eridanus-- just being able to follow its stars across a great swath of sky can be considered a fine accomplishment.
The Hydra makes its first appearance late in Winter, and over the next few months slowly slithers across the skies earlier and earlier. The most logical way to begin investigating Hydra is to start at the Hydra's Head, the tight asterism just south of Cancer. If you aren't sure you can find the Hydra's Head, first locate Procyon and draw a line over to Regulus. Follow this line across the skies with binoculars, and you'll find the Hydra's Head just before you pass the mid-point. Alternatively, you can begin at the Hydra's heart, alpha Hydrae. This bright star forms a triangle with Procyon and Regulus.
Alpha Hydrae is called Alphard (Solitary One) short for Al Phard al Shuja, "The Solitary One in the Serpent", although it has a number of neighbours. From its position and brightness Alphard serves as the serpent's heart and was aptly so named by Tycho Brahe: Cor Hydrae, a name which nevertheless didn't stick. The snake's body stretches out to the southeast, below Leo. From Alphard to the south-southeast, just outside the viewing area of Alphard, is upsilon-1, at which point the snake's body curls upward, toward the northeast.
Beta Hydrae, in the same FOV of xi Hydrae isn't, as one might think, the second brightest star in Hydra. It's only a 4.6 visual magnitude, with a 5.6 companion, which is even fainter than xi Hydrae. Beta Hydrae marks the southern-most point of the Hydra's body and at a declination of almost -34� it won't be visible for much of North America. Two constellations are found in the 'pocket' formed by this long southern loop of the serpent -- Crater and Corvus. The more useful of these, as we procede along the serpent's back, is Corvus, The Crow.
At beta Hydrae draw a line over to Spica, alpha Virgo, which is to the northeast. Nearly half-way along this line you'll cross the bright star beta Corvi. In the same field as beta Corvi is the Messier object, M68, a globular cluster containing over a hundred thousand stars. With beta Crt at the top of your FOV, you'll see two 5th-mag stars just off centre. The brighter of these, to the west, is Chi1 Hydrae, which is a 5th-magnitude binary with a similar companion. with a very rapid orbit. This companion makes a complete revolution every 7.4 years, which means that the separation is never more than 0.1". Now placing chi1at the northwest corner of your FOV, xi Hydrae will be just out of view to the southeast. Sweep slowly to the southeast and put this star at the upper right of your FOV. Beta Hydrae will also now be visible, to the southeast.
Gamma Hydrae is most easily found by beginning at Spica. Twelve degrees due south of this very bright star is gamma Hydrae, the last 'hump' or coil in the serpent Hydra. Gamma Hya is also due east of beta Corvi, if you found this star while searching for M68.
Gamma Hya has an interesting neighbour, R Hydrae, a Mira-like long-period variable. R Hya has a period of 389 days, when it rises from a faint 10 visual magnitude to a rather bright 3.5 or so. You've nearly reached the end of the serpent's tail, which is marked by pi Hydrae. Sweeping your glasses two full FOVs southeast of gamma Hydrae brings you to pi Hydrae.
While this may be the end of the serpent's tail (some extend the tip to include 58 Hya), there's more here to investigate involving 54 Hya.
The region around mu Hydrae has several interesting objects. To the east, in the same FOV, is the brighter star nu Hydrae. Just to the northwest of this star is the fine binary Struve 1474, a fine triple of 7th mag stars. There is a neighbouring binary of 8th mag stars, Struve 1473, just to the south half a degree. Two degrees south of mu Hydrae (same FOV of this star) is the deep sky object NGC 3242, a 9th mag planetary nebula sometimes called "The Ghost of Jupiter". Medium sized telescopes show a round greenish object. Now moving over to nu Hydrae, you'll see a much brighter star to the southeast. This is alpha Crateris. Nu Hydrae is in fact nearly on the border with Crater. It's more convenient at this point to hop briefly into Crater to continue your descent down the Hydra's back. Placing alpha Crateris at the northern edge of your glasses, you'll see a similarly bright star to the southeast, beta Crateris.
Theta Hydrae is the mid-point along the Hydra's neck. It's a 3.9 visual magnitude star with an optical companion. Putting theta Hydrae at the northwest corner, you'll see tau-1 and tau-2 with a subtle colour contrast, cream-white and pale blue. The bright star just out of the FOV to the southeast is iota Hydrae; this star has a soft red colour to it. Tau-1 (4.6) has a wide 7th-mag companion, about 66" away. If you place tau-1 at the top of your FOV, alpha Hydrae comes into view.
Upsilon1 Hydrae marks one of the 'coils' of Hydra, and the snake curls toward the northeast. The star the farthest east in this FOV, lambda Hydra, marks about a third of the way down the Hydra's outstretched form. It's due south from Regulus and is a convenient point if you wish to study the constellation lying between Hydra and Leo at this point, which is Sextans. Alpha Sextantis is most easily found by drawing a line between Regulus and lambda Hya; it lies almost exactly at the midpoint on this line. Now place lambda at the northwest corner of your FOV. Mu Hydrae will appear at the far opposite corner.
Zeta Hydrae is an orange giant (7-10 times the size of the Sun) which forms the top of the neck of the Hydra, and is the brightest star in the asterism known as The Hydra's Head. From amongst this group of stars epsilon Hydrae is the most remarkable, as it is a splendid multiple binary. Companion B is much too close for all but the largest of telescopes, for it has a very rapid orbit of 15.06 years. More accessible for medium and large telescopes is companion C, which forms a pleasing contrast of colours with the primary -- yellow and blue. The orbit is 990 years. Putting zeta at the northwest edge, omega and theta are now visible, and you can proceed to examine the rest of the Hydra.


They say nothing really prepares you for motherhood. Almost nine years in, and five kids later, I agree. I read the books, I asked the questions, I watched those ahead of me on the path. And yet when I started having babies I had to figure everything out. The nursing, the quieting down a screaming infant, learning how each child responds differently to structures, their own emotions, and the people around them. One milestone is reached, one routine established, one question answered, and the next day you find yourself starting all over again.
If you like order, routine, and predictably, motherhood will throw you off your game in the worst (and best) kind of way.
I had pictured myself singing to my children, making their baby food, spending long days sprawled out on the floor doing puzzles and sorting shapes and colors. The images of motherhood in my mind were put there by what I had witnessed, or perhaps the things that I wanted to witness in other women's lives.
We often catalog the good pieces of life, not even realizing that's what we're doing.
Somehow in my dream of motherhood I never imagined that I would sit by the side of the pool holding back tears while my child resisted swimming lessons, or the anger that I would face when I was still changing my five year old son's diapers. Fear for my children's safety was of course on the list of issues I would face, but not fear of how they might fit into social settings because they couldn't communicate. It never occurred to me that there might be a day when simple tasks like grocery shopping and cooking dinner would feel impossible. I didn't have a file folder for these kinds of experiences and emotions.
If you've grieved over any loss you know that grief comes in waves. You can't predict it, you can't plan for it, and you can only hold back the waves for a time; eventually you'll find yourself caught up under the weight of the current, struggling for air.
This time the waves started crashing at the end of the school year. Mason was about to graduate from Pre-K at the public school and we attended a Kindergarten informational meeting. Mason listened attentively to the teachers as they presented the materials for the parents. I tucked my arm around him and smiled at how much I knew he would charm his teacher the next year; everyone at school loves Mason, and most of the Administration knows him by name.
But then the presentation switched to the academic side of things, because of course it did, this is school after all. And as they showed us slide after slide of all the things our children would be learning, it was all I could do to hold back the tears. Write their names, identify all the letters and sounds, read 50 sight words, etc. Mason only knows three letters, and can't write any of them. He can count to three, but even that is inconsistent.
As with most of the grief I've experienced in my adulthood, I had to tuck it away. The school auditorium, in front of a group of strangers, and in front of my son was no place to give way to the emotions I felt. So, I bottled it up, we walked home, and life went on.
As summer has progressed and I'm with Mason day in and day out again, I keep noticing all of the areas where he's behind other children his age, even his younger sister. My mind focuses on all that needs to be done: the potty training, learning the alphabet, communicating his needs, drinking from a cup, listening to + following instructions the first time, counting, cutting a straight line, etc.
We're working on all these things, and more than ever I feel the need to push him. With his entrance into school, his delays are more obvious. I can't deny what's happening and facing these realities is a daily must, which means I need space to allow myself to grieve.
How do you grieve? Anyone who suffers loss will ask this question, maybe out loud, but always internally. Do you give way to any and every emotion? How long are you allowed to have these feelings? At what point do you suppress, and move on?
I don't have all the answers, but I do know that if I don't allow myself to grieve over the losses that come as a result of the brokenness of this life, I will never fully know the hope that is found in Jesus.
So this summer I've taken the time to tuck myself away. I've cried, curled up on the bed behind a closed door. I've taken walks on the beach and sat in the sand staring at the water. I've prayed openly to the Lord about my anger, my sadness, my fears. And I've felt the peace of God–better than any kind of understanding he might give me–through bringing my requests to him.
Perhaps the biggest lesson I've learned in the process of grief is that in the darkest moments and in the seasons of acceptance, grief must always involve remembering. Yes, you remember the pain and the loss–these things are not easily forgotten–, but you must also force yourself to remember the character and promises of God. Sometimes this comes easily, but often it's an intentional preaching of truth to your broken soul.
Remembering is important to God.
And so, like the Israelites–and the disciples and all those who partake of the Lord's Supper– I remember.
It's a practice that requires mental and emotional energy, but it's one that when I enter into, I walk away with a deeper awareness of God, not my fears or the circumstances that I'm facing.
I remember the way that I experienced God's presence in the hospital and in the months that followed, when I learned about Mason's diagnosis of Down syndrome. How he allowed my tears to become portals, ushering me into a deeper communion with him.
I remember the therapists that God provided who came to our home and opened their offices each week teaching Mason how to roll over, sit up, crawl, talk, and walk. How God encouraged my ignorance through the expertise of others who knew what to do and how to help my son.
I remember the day when Jennavieve took her first steps at 12.5 months, and Mason–who had only ever expressed fear over walking–at 27 months stood up and walked across the room. God gave us this surprise gift of a daughter just 15 months after Mason was born, and removed my fears of two babies so close together by using her to push Mason in his development.
I remember the ways God enabled me to care for four children when I was at my weakest and most vulnerable moments. He gave me strength day in and day out when I felt that I had nothing to give. He carried me each step along the way, and what initially felt impossible, over time became natural.
I remember that more often than not God has used challenging circumstances to grow my faith and increase my dependency upon him.
I remember the gospel. That in my most desperate condition Jesus, the perfect One, died and rose again to cleanse me from my sin and restore me to a gracious and loving God.
I remember the reality of the promise that Jesus will come again to make all things right. One day the brokenness of this world will be restored and there will be a new heaven and a new earth. One day Mason will be free from the struggles that accompany his diagnosis.
The gift of hope in Jesus through this unexpected twist in my journey of motherhood has provided me with a growing understanding of what it means to walk a life of faith. It means there will be tears and questions. There will be days filled with uncertainty. Weeks will go by with feelings of loneliness in grief. Seasons will come and go in where there will be no evident fruit, let alone growth of any kind.
And it's in these days and seasons when I will remember that God is always at work, growing and working in ways that I can't see. I will practice the spiritual discipline of remembering the character and work of God who has never left me and is always for me. I can navigate the grief because Jesus endured the greatest grief imaginable with his eyes fixed on the joy that would come. This same joy is mine, in life and in death: the presence and power of God with me in every moment.

Grief has certainly grown me to trust God like a Father which he really is. I have sung the chorus "He is my all in all" so many times and it has become so true as I have trusted Him. You are a great mom and writer. I appreciate it so much. I am always challenged and encouraged by your writings and sharing your heart.


The Coppingers of Carhue, parish of Magourney, county Cork, were Catholic landowners until the late 18th century. Thomas Stephen Coppinger was then the owner of the estate but he lost half of it when his first cousin, Thomas John Coppinger, became a Protestant and claimed it. Thomas John Coppinger married Mary Gollock of Forest and they were the parents of John Rye Coppinger and Mary Coppinger who, in 1808, married William Thorne. Their son, Henry Thorne Coppinger, was resident at Carhue at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In July 1854 the estate of Thomas Gollock Coppinger, heir-at-law of John Rye Coppinger, who was assignee of the estate and effects of Joseph Coppinger, an insolvent, was advertised for sale. The lands of Coolmuckey, Scart, Kilbonane and Mohallagh amounted to over 800 acres. The fee simple estate of Carhue belonging to Henry Thorne Coppinger was offered for sale in April 1856, amounting to 284 acres. The property appears to have been bought in trust by James Harding for one of the Colthursts of Dripsey Castle. In July 1868, Greenlodge, the estate of Anna Maria Coppinger, widow, was advertised for sale with 159 acres. This property was sold to J.S. Coppinger for over £1500.
