Music Week Playlist: June 12, 2017

Perfect Places,
Virgin EMI

Melodrama finally drops this week, and this lush, sweeping third single sets it up nicely. There’s some mega synth work near the end, too.

Contact Louise Mayne

Arcade Fire

Everything Now,

Who’s up for a jaunty introduction to Win Butler and the gang’s new album, then? Space-age keyboards and a groovy bassline make it fly.

Contact Brídín Murphy Mitchell

Liam Gallagher

Wall Of Glass,
Warner Bros

Isn’t it strange that, in this office at least, the King Of Parkas’ new single already feels like a classic? We’re sure you’ve played it 250 times too…

Contact Andy Prevezer

Sacred Bones

The Austin foursome are excellent at writing dirty post-punk songs. This one is from their new album, Subordination, out now.

Contact Chris Hansell

Low Island

Rest Your Head,
Kobalt Music

Like Radiohead, Foals and Glass Animals, Low Island are a brainy band from the Oxford area. This new single tips its cap to Arthur Russell.

Contact Laura Martin

Major Lazer
Know No Better,
Mad Decent

Featuring Travis Scott, Quavo and Camila Cabello, this is made for inebriated dancing, ideally on some decking on a Mediterranean island.

Contact James Cunningham

Xam Volo

Old Soul,
Universal Music

The search for Liverpool’s most chilled out entertainer is officially over. Jazz, soul and a flash of R&B combine for a tune that’s possibly too relaxing.

<<  -- 2 --  Mike Wheeler    PASSIONATE SYMPATHY

The ambivalence of the other female characters was effectively conveyed. Yvonne Howard's Auntie is hard-bitten in public, good-hearted in private; Amy Freston and Claire Booth's Nieces were a pair of air-headed bimbos who nevertheless join Auntie and Ellen to make the quartet at the end of Act 2 scene 1 a touching display of sisterly solidarity in the face of rampant male egos.

The ease with which this gallery of strongly contrasted individuals became a lynch-mob was one of the production's most chilling aspects. As the manhunt is organised at the end of Act 3 scene 1 the chorus of hatred reaches a grim climax when an effigy of Grimes is viciously attacked and dismembered, the two Nieces leading the way.

The bare, three-walled set both gives considerable scope for movement and emphasises Grimes's isolation as he grieves over John's dead body at the start of the final scene. A huge net, suspended mid-stage In Act 1 and again at the end of Act 3, provides a space inside which the townspeople range themselves when Grimes tries to bring his boat ashore in Act 1, when reacting to Ellen's offer to accompany the new apprentice home, or faced with the approaching storm. Wooden pallet-like blocks are carried and assembled by the cast to form the public gallery of the Moot Hall, the floor space of The Boar, and a wall from behind which the townspeople challenge Ellen in Act 2 -- this is a community well-practised in erecting barriers. Grimes's hut is a tower-like structure erected during the preceding Interlude. The production's one unconvincing moment came as John, harnessed to make his fatal descent of the cliff at the end of the scene, is swung to the side of the stage.

Singing, both solo and choral, and orchestral playing are both uniformly excellent, with conductor Richard Farnes judging the dramatic pace to a nicety.

Description of Stunts

One of the best driving games ever made, period. Also known as 4D Sports Driving (European Mindscape release), Stunts is a fun 3D stunts racing simulator that comes with an outstanding track editor. For a great synopsis of what makes Stunts one of the best games in this century, here are some excerpts from GameBytes review:

"In brief, Stunts is a stunt car racing game that has plenty of cars to drive, plenty of opponents to race (and beat), plenty of cliff hanging stunts to try, and thousands of hours of game playing excitement!

Stunts is not a realistic racing simulator. If you want racing realism there are hordes of other titles out there to choose from. [Rather,] Stunts belongs to a distinct genre of games that include other titles such as Stunt Driver and Hard Drivin' II. All promise to offer similar features, but Stunts inevitably rates the best due simply to it's perfect controllability, which is sadly lacking in the other titles no matter how much configurability they try to provide.

Stunts has a wide range to choose from, from the slow offroad 4WDs to turbo charged Formula 1 Racing Cars. Each car type has it's advantages and disadvantages. The 4WDs are slow as snails, but handle well on icy roads. The racing cars on the other hand are fast, but are not much fun to drive on icy roads (in fact, it's possible to out drag a F1 car in a 4WD on an icy road over a short distance!) You also have the option of driving a manual or automatic gearbox for each car.

[The game] has two modes of racing. A "practice" mode where you race against the clock (no opponent), and a "competitive" mode where you race against a single opponent. There are a range of opponents all with their own various driving strengths. Sadly, the opponent intelligence is rather weak in general. The toughest opponent is called "Skid Vicious" -- a name to instill fear in would be challengers perhaps? His driving sure doesn't! In fact, all computer opponents share a high level of driving incompetence. They are slow, will reliably crash on any slightly tricky track, and if they don't, it is unbearably easy to "influence" them into doing so. BUT, the computer opponents can still provide a tough challenge if you don't mind racing them in a much slower car.

It is the presence of the track editor and its operating simplicity that make Stunts a really great game. You can build tracks with three types of road surfaces, from a solid paved roads to slippery icy roads. There are a variety of "standard" road pieces, like corners, chicanes, crossroads, ramps, elevated roads, and banks. But the exciting part is the huge number of stunt pieces that you can include in your tracks. The range includes tunnels, loops, corkscrews, pipes, half pipes, "slalom" roads (roads with barricades that you have to "slalom" though), and corkscrew ramps. In addition there are a number of scenery pieces including buildings of various sizes, trees of various types, ships, and even a tennis court?! All these pieces can of course be combined together to make a vast variety of jumps and stunts. AND, if you ever tire of the set of provided landscapes for building your tracks on, Stunts also includes a terrain editor as part of it's track editor.

To top it all off, Stunts also includes a 10 minute replay buffer (which is long enough for almost any race!). So when you complete that perfect drive, make an incredible recovery from a certain death situation, have a crash that is truly spectacular, or do anything that you want to take a second look at, it's preserved for you in the replay, which you can watch immediately, or save to disk for viewing later.

Plus, for ultimate viewing scrutiny, the game provides a number of viewing cameras (for both viewing replays and racing from!), including a user controlled viewpoint! And of course, you are free to give your replays to your friends, so that they can see your incredible feats of driving."

With great gameplay, literally thousands of hours replayability and endless track design possibilities, it's no surprise that Stunts remains popular over the years, and there are many fan sites on the Web (check Related Links below for a start) as well as literally thousands of fan-made tracks. If you want to play only one fun enjoyable, but not necessarily realistic, driving game, Stunts is it.

Two thumbs up! Also, check out TrackMania review on this site for the very best "sequel in spirit" I have ever seen.

Note: here's a neat undocumented feature in the game: press SHIFT+F1 to access terrain pieces in the track editor.

This Week In Social: Facebook policy changes, Twitter updates, Facebook verified accounts, Pinterest policy changes

This Week In Social: Facebook policy changes, Twitter updates, Facebook verified accounts, Pinterest policy changes

By Danielle Wynne

Facebook reviews policy on hate speech

Screen Shot 2013-05-30 at 12.05.44

British based Everyday Sexism Project, US writer Soraya Chemaly and the creator of Women, Action & the Media, Jaclyn Friedman, launched a campaign just last week that has forced Facebook to reevaluate their classifications of ‘hate speech’.

The campaign wanted Facebook to have stricter regulations over their content due to the amount of pages and posts on the platform that joke about violence against women. Supporters emailed, Tweeted using the hashtag #Fbrape and supported the campaign via Facebook. More than 5,000 emails and 60,000 tweets were sent to companies whose adverts were being featured on these Facebook pages. The posts and groups in question joke about rape and domestic violence and feature images such as Rihanna with a beaten face captioned ‘Chris Brown’s greatest hits’.

Although adverts are user, not page, targeted at least 15 advertisers pulled their adverts from the social platform, including Nationwide UK and Nissan UK. Facebook released a statement on Tuesday promising to review what they class as ‘hate speech’ and train their moderation staff in conjunction with this. A lot of these images until now have been classed as ‘distasteful humour’ and not deemed offensive enough to be pulled from the site.  Facebook has been dubious with such actions due to their stance on free speech and did not want to undermine the basis that the platform is based on.

Facebook’s statement read: ‘In recent days, it has become clear that our systems to identify and remove hate speech have failed to work as effectively as we would like, particularly around issues of gender-based hate…We need to do better – and we will.’

Twitter updates iOS app

photo (3)

Twitter has carried out some key updates to their app. The changes are mainly visual, including the ability to preview a tweet before posting.  This update takes the app up to version 5.7.

The design has been updated to a wider timeline span throughout the entire app. When tweeting photos from the mobile app, a full preview will be given pre-tweet, instead of the previous cropped version. There will also be an easier way to share photos; an icon will be shown in the bottom of the Tweet box that will allow users to access their camera roll with one tap. In line with this, users will be able to see their avatar and username in their tweet composing, to give a better impression of how their tweet will actually look.

Twitter is also making the app simpler to use. Users with multiple accounts will now be able to select the account they want to use simply by tapping on their avatar. A notification will now also be sent out to users when a friend joins the platform, along with several bug fixes for the app. The updates will be a welcome inclusion to an app that is probably one of the most used.

Facebook introduces verified accounts

Screen Shot 2013-05-30 at 12.44.36

Taking a leaf out of Twitter’s book, Facebook have decided to introduce the little blue ‘tick’ system to popular, well known and celebrity accounts. The tick will be displayed next to the owner’s name in the social platform; this includes search results and anywhere else on Facebook the page may appear. The ‘ticks’ started rolling out on Wednesday.

Pinterest to revise nudity policy

Pinterest have decided to revise its policy on nudity and pins showing nudity to be pinned by users. The social platform has had numerous complaints from artists and photographers regarding their strict policy when it comes to uploading images containing nudity:

Screen Shot 2013-05-31 at 10.23.05

There are already a lot of posts that feature different degrees of nudity so Pinterest may just be following what their users are doing. Obviously Pinterest is very visual so it makes sense that there are many artists using it and the current policy just won’t fall in line with a lot of their work.

Pinterest told FT “Pinterest is about expressing your passions and people are passionate about art and that may include nudes. So we’re going to try to accommodate that,”

Doubting Thomas: How To Show A Hurting World That God's Love is Real

Wednesday, August 3, 2016

Last weekend in church we heard the story of doubting Thomas, who wouldn't believe in the risen Christ until he could touch his wounds.

The story has been sitting in my head over the last week. While it's not a perfect analogy, I'd like to share my thoughts on how I believe this story illustrates part of why a love protest is so important.

In our current times, many people have a difficult time believing in the risen Christ because his wounds are not visible to them.

All they see is the sealed tomb; the death of hope.

No good news.

No resurrected Christ.

Why is this the case when the Gospel has been spread far and wide? Everyone should know of the resurrection by this point.

But people are starving. For love, for stability, for financial solvency.

They're starving for proof of God.

They haven't seen the reality of His love manifest itself in a tangible way.

This is a shame.

There are billions of Christians in this world. Loving our neighbors {and our enemies} should cause such an overwhelming flow of charity that no one goes to sleep hungry at night.

Like Thomas they need to have some physical manifestation of God here in this time and place.

We could be a "proof" of the resurrection.
But we aren't.

We Christians can be particularly uncharitable -- especially in terms of pregnancy outside of marriage.

This is part of why a love-protest is *so* important.

While we couldn't even begin to compare our good works to Christ's wounds, this doesn't mean we can't try our hardest to be an example of His love on this earth. We can be an introduction to the Gospel for someone who  doubts.

When we come as Christians to help fragile families, we are a witness to the resurrection. We are proof positive of the power of God's love.

In holding out a hand to our neighbor, we're  trying to bypass the "welfare system", which so often entraps families in a cycle of poverty.

In sharing stories, we can encourage others to hold out a safety net so families can move beyond their trapped situation: a situation which often times leads to pregnancy terminations.

No one dreams about being poor. For those  families who do manage to overcome poverty many do so because they have very small families. And that's ok..... But what if those small families are a result of abortion?

Are we willing to risk babies lives because we don't want to associate with people "in the system"? Because "welfare moms" are somehow beneath us?

I know I'm not. This is so much more important than a political point to be made. I'm motivated with love to make sure no one ever has to feel their unborn child could be a burden. I try to be encouraging those who are less fortunate than I am. I make sure they know how important they are to me, and in turn I hope they begin to see how important the potential new lives they will bring into the world are.

We all need to be told we are valuable. We all need someone to tell us they're glad we were born.

Helping people gives us the opportunity to show them the wounds of Christ: they receive the opportunity to learn about the plans He has for them, which are not plans for despair but plans for their good.

People can't always hear the Gospel when they're hungry.

What The Heck Is A Love Protest?

Wednesday, March 30, 2016

What exactly is a love protest?

We all know the basics of protesting:

A company or government agency is doing something we don't agree with.

We stand outside of their headquarters with bullhorns and signs, highlighting how they've failed to do business in an ethical way.

Company or agency answers by amending their behavior or clarifying their stance.

The basics of a love protest:

The "company" we are protesting is a world where vulnerable families are left unsupported when facing an unexpected pregnancy, and when raising children with limited financial means.

Instead of using bullhorns and signs to make our point, we use hot meals and offers of close friendship.

Hopefully, the world will stop being a hostile place for families in crisis through our actions.

Most pro-choice editorials claim that pro-lifers are only interested in babies when they are in the womb. I am dead-set on proving them wrong. I want you to help.

I started a Pledge drive. But I don't want your money. I want 1000 hours dedicated to making someone's life better.

So, what do you need to do:

Sign the Pledge and go do your good deed.

After that, write a couple of paragraphs about what you did and send it to me at sarah @ shebringsjoy (dot) com, with some clear, beautiful photos. I'll share your story with a bunch of people who may share it with their friends.... And you may be part of a seismic change. When people see you committing random acts of loving kindness, they may be more inclined to help themselves.

Because I am going to share the heck out of your love protest at every turn and through every platform. People will no longer be able to claim that pro-lifers only care about babies in the womb.

We'll show them that we care about mothers and fathers, babies, toddlers, and school aged kids. We care about them all, because that's what being pro-life is all about.

To read a more in-depth post about what a love protest is, see here, where I wax poetically about the inspiration for this movement.

As always, please follow My Protest Is Love on Facebook to get even more updates.

My Church Turned Me Away Because I Was A Single Mom

Thursday, March 24, 2016

It's true. My church turned me away, because I was a single, teenaged mom.

Not directly from worship, mind you- they were fine with me attending services (and dropping money into their collection plate). It was being part of the inner-workings of the church that was a problem.

I was 18, and trying to support my son alone. He was less than a year old. I had separated from his (teenaged) father, and was attempting to brings some focus into my life. I was a prodigal daughter, having been inconsistent in my church attendance during my teen years. But at this point, I had been faithfully attending church for months.

This was the church I had attended since childhood. My mother was not a church goer, but I went regularly with a neighbor. I had been baptized there, and at the time I was not only going to church, but partaking in Bible classes and group activities.
There was an opening for a helper in the after school program, and the helper could bring along their child if they had one.

I applied, and was instantly denied.

No interview.

I didn't think too much about it, until someone off-handedly remarked that I hadn't been hired because I would be a bad influence on the kids.

I was floored.

I was floored because the woman they ended up hiring had also become pregnant before marriage. She married the father of the child, and then divorced him very quickly afterwords. She was newly divorced when she got the job.

She was only a few years older than me, and had also been a "teen" mom.

What about her influence?

The rejection stung for a long time, and it eventually soured my relationship with that particular church.

As an older, wiser adult, I understand a little more about why I was denied employment. I understand that an after-school program in a church has a little more at stake in terms of "keeping up appearances". People brought their children there expecting a certain moral standard. Economically speaking, having me work there was a potential problem.

But at the time: I felt abandoned.

I drifted away once again, embarrassed and ashamed.

This was a good church, with a solid grasp of theology. The pastor was extremely knowledgeable, but honest enough to tell me when he didn't have an answer to my many questions. I not only spent my Sundays there, but many other days as well. I fondly remember cutting images out of donated greeting cards to make collages and running through the playground trying to avoid the thousands of red ants which lived underneath the swings.

It is the church by which I judge all other churches. The church where I learned to love the Law and the Gospel. My identity as a Christian was formed singing the liturgy -- through it I felt connected to every Christian who had ever lived.

And I believed they had abandoned me.

It was like a lifeline being thrown and then quickly pulled out of your reach. I was so close to the shore.... I could almost see "normal". There was a part of me which believed if I could just spend more time there, maybe I could fit in enough that people would see past "teenaged unwed" and I'd just be a mom. A mom who loved her son and wanted what was best for him, just like every other mom.

This is one place where a love protest could be most effective.

We can mimic the attitude of the "Prodigal" Father and run to those who come back to the church.

We can pull them in and celebrate their return, feeding them with the Word and Sacraments.

We can love them unconditionally-- not taking account of their situation.

We can be glad they returned, and find them a place at the best table, with the best food and wine.

Or like the "prodigal" brother, we can be bitter and envy the gifts they are given, fuming about how they are taking "our share". We could look down at them for not doing things "the right way".

Sexual sin is no different than any other sin -- it's just more difficult to hide.

How does your church welcome single parent households into their fold? Do they gossip about then when they're not there? Do they cluck their tongues when speaking about their living situation?

What about the young mother who may be choose to give up an education to give birth to her child? How do we help guarantee that she will have the opportunity to continue on a successful path in life? (And though we're primarily talking about young moms here- how do we help the older mom, who may have given up the idea of gaining a degree?) The burden of single-parenthood disproportionately falls on the female party in this type of situation.

How does your church family support the young man who suddenly finds himself facing fatherhood... when he hasn't even figured out childhood? How does it help him rise to fulfill his vocation as a father? How do you help him understand the importance of parenting his child -- especially when the law often sees him as no more than a monthly check?

We can protest outside of a clinic all we want, but unless someone steps up to the plate and promises parents they will be supported, those abortion statistics will never significantly decrease.

(For those claiming we've already decreased numbers, I believe offerings such as Plan B have more to do with this than the current pro-life surge.)

Statistics show that Christian women have some of the highest abortion rates.

The primary reason a woman ends a pregnancy is because she "isn't ready". Not because she doesn't want the baby, but because she doesn't feel emotionally or financially secure enough to birth and raise a baby.

Those of us in the best position to help, are able to walk into church every Sunday without putting our indiscretions on display.  It doesn't mean our indiscretions are any less sinful, it just means we can hide them more easily.

If we put aside our judgement of other people's situations we may find our churches filled with babies who would otherwise be aborted.

You can be a life-saver and a world-changer. All it takes is a quiet tongue and an open heart.

10 Ways To Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone And Change Someone's Life

Wednesday, March 23, 2016

I want to share some ways you can help a family in need which are a little out of the norm. Remember, our goal is to help families who may choose to end an unexpected pregnancy. Some of these suggestions are geared specifically towards supporting a woman during pregnancy.

TEN WAYS YOU CAN STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE (and make  someone's life easier)

1) Volunteer.

Call your local pregnancy resource center and find out how to volunteer. Make a commitment to serve regularly. When clients consistently see you there, they know you care. Caring for them on a personal level will go much farther than donating a few dollars.

2) Host a baby shower.

Organize a baby shower for expectant clients at your local food pantry. You may be able to do this in a local church {hopefully you're attending}, in conjunction with your local food pantry. Other organizations which may be able to help could be local clubs like The Knights of Columbus, the VFW, and the Rotary Club.

"Advertise" in your local library, the grocery store, and if possible in your local social service department.

When you advertise, look for sponsors to drop off items which a new mom would need, at the food pantry.

Ask for volunteer families who would like to decorate the party space so expectant moms feel welcomed.

Make sure you know how many moms are going to be in attendance, and prepare a diaper bag full of goodies for each one. Also sure you include a personal gift for mom.

Ask them for a list of friends and family to invite, and invite the community to the party, on terms which fit the occasion.

(A church may invite congregants, a club may sell dinner tickets to pay for the space, etc. - an RSVP is vital for this type of event, as you don't want more guests than you have food, or more moms than you have gifts for.)

3) Babysit.

Offer to babysit -- and pay for a movie date -- for a family whose children are small, and who may not get out that much. (Obviously, this is more appropriate if the family is someone you are close to.)

4)Donate your talents.

If you have a skill, donate it to someone who may not be able to afford your talents.

Are you a hairdresser? Offer a haircut. Nothing makes someone feel better than a great haircut. It's also important to look well-groomed for work advancements and other professional appointments.

Are you a carpenter? Repairs are always welcome, even if someone lives in a rented living space. Help putting together furniture safely and attaching heavy items to the wall properly would assure the safety of both children and adults in the household.

Can you sew? Offer to alter an item of clothing so it fits properly for a job interview or other professional appointment.

Whatever your talents are, using them to help someone is a beautiful thing. I once had a young friend crochet me a brightly colored afghan because I lived in a dark, dank apartment and she wanted me to have some color in my life. I still treasure that blanket.

5) Prepare a meal for them.

If you know someone is struggling due to illness, cook a few meals which can be frozen and reheated. Even if they're not ill, a meal would be a nice respite - especially if both mom and dad have to work, and don't have a lot of time.

(Be sure to ask about food allergies before bringing food into someone's home.)

6) Purchase a gift card for something frivolous.

A Starbucks or Dunkin card or a manicure. Many times struggling parents can't afford simple pleasures, and giving them the ability to indulge themselves reminds them of their importance. We don't just want to help them parent their children, we want to help them reach their full potential as well. Remembering their own unique humanity goes a long way towards establishing the self-confidence needed to succeed.

7) Bring them to church.

This should be obvious. The best way to emotionally support a family is to bring them to the table of the God who created them. Reminding them of the love God has for them, of the care he took in creating their child(ren), and of His vocation for their lives will help them to remain a cohesive family unit.

(This invitation should be extended with the understanding that an unmarried couple should not be shamed or chastised, but invited as honored guests. God, along with your pastor or priest, will work on helping them enrich their family life together in a constructive way when the time is right.)

8) Host a family dinner.

Invite them over to share a weekly family dinner with you. I had a friend who did this for me and my son, and it was one of the most beautiful gifts anyone had ever given me. Because of this friend's generosity in inviting me into her family's home each week, my son was given the "cousins" he never had. These friends became our extended family and confidants. There's really few people I trust more than I trust them.

9) Invest in their children.

Sponsor their school-aged child's after school activity. There are a whole range of after school activities which are out-of-reach for the struggling parent. For younger children, it may be Scouting or a summer team sport. For older children it may be joining the school band (instrument rentals and uniforms can be costly), or playing a school sport. In helping out a child in this way, you also show them you are invested in their future. You care enough to make sure they have the training and connections to fill out the job applications and the life experience to write those college essays.

10) Pray for them.

Pray for them the way you want people to pray for you. Pray for self-control during times of success and pray for comfort during times of disappointment. Pray for their children.

(And ask them to pray for you in kind. Let them know you find their esteem of your family valuable. Let them know you need their help in this way, too.)

If you have ever served someone in a novel way which caused you to step out of your comfort zone and make a deep connection with an individual, please let me know.

I'd love to compile more lists of ways to help families in need.

5 Reasons A Love Protest Is The Answer To All Of Life's Problems

Friday, March 18, 2016

Supposedly, people like lists. So here's a list:

5 reasons a love protest is the answer to all of life's problems.

We obviously want you to love your abortion vulnerable neighbor (whether or not you make the Pledge), but we'll take all the love we can for this broken world, so use this list anywhere you'd like. This list also may not be the answer to all of life's problems, but love is. So we're running with it.

1) Love begets more love:

If you love someone, they internalize that love, and are more likely to show love to someone else because they feel secure in their own worth. People who are secure are kinder and more empathetic to other's suffering.

On both a personal and community level, love causes abundant growth. When we nurture a plant it bears some type of fruit- a flower or a fruit. Plant seeds which will bear good fruit.

2) Love is a respite:

Love requires us to do something. It turns our thoughts away from our own problems, and makes us focus on someone else. We are relieved from the burden of our own problems for a short time when we help someone else.

3) Love inhibits hate:

We can't love someone and hate them at the same time. We may believe we can, but realistically the concepts are mutually exclusive. During a moment of love in action towards a specific person, we lose the ability to hate them.

4) Love is attractive:

We look good when we are loving people.

Loving someone is the closest we will get to heaven in this life. There is nothing more important we can do than love someone. Doing important work leaves us fulfilled in a profound way.

Love makes us glow.

5) God tells us to love our neighbors:

We know all things work for the good of those who love the Lord. Who am I to doubt His plan?

It's a short list, and I'm sure someone could come up with a more elegant explanation of why love is the answer to everything.

What could you add to this list? How can love he the ultimate form of protest in an unloving world?

{if you'd like to join me in a love protest, like me on Facebook -- and if you have a great love protest story to tell, message me there so I can share it! My goal is to collate  thousands of stories of love in action }

I'm Going To Need A Favor Soon.....

Tuesday, March 15, 2016

Sometimes things get a little crazy.

The holidays came and went, and during that time I worked at making some connections for this little project..... But I didn't post any new updates here.

Sometime in the next week (or two) I will be releasing the coolest little stop-motion video you've ever seen. I'd love for this love protest to become a "viral" event. You can help by sharing the video and by making The Pledge

I have no idea how to give this "movement" any momentum, so I'm appealing to you to share, share, share when this little "commercial" comes out.

(Note: there are no ads, etc. here. I'm not doing this for money, I just want to make a difference.)

I'm not an internet marketer, I'm just a woman who was an unwed, uneducated, teenaged mom.

I know how difficult it is to face an unexpected pregnancy.

I know how difficult it is to worry about where your child's next meal is coming from. How difficult it is to wonder if things are ever going to get better.

I also know how affirming it is to have people who are there to help pick up the slack. People who tell you what a great job you're doing.

I may not know much about marketing, but I do know that we have an opportunity to change lives right now. There is nothing more pro-life than helping to support babies after they've been born.

For too long pro-choice persons have made the claim that we only care about babies before they are born.

It's time we prove them wrong.

Leave the debates to political pundits. Leave the arguing and in-fighting to those who think pre-born babies lives are no more than a philosophical discussion.

Choose kindness over indifference.

Choose love as your protest.

Love Is A Verb

Thursday, September 17, 2015

Love is a verb... Well, I know it's also a noun, but in our case when we talk about love protests, we're talking about the verb love.

So, think on that.

What actions can we all take to make our world a better, more welcoming place for families faced with a difficult situation?

How can we present ourselves to others in a way which conveys our willingness to love them unconditionally?

I know when I was a young mom (at 17) I found the time people gave me to be invaluable.

My son's grandmother was instrumental in helping me to hold down a job and continue attending school. Without her caring for my son, I may have ended up a lot worse off than I was.  Daycare isn't always flexible enough for a young mom who has multiple obligations in addition to their child rearing duties. She also went above and beyond by bringing my son to work so that I could nurse him, when I could not express enough breast milk to leave her a bottle.

My own grandfather would often come pick me up at my apartment and drive me to work, even though it was way out of his way. Many young parents can not maintain both a household and an automobile. The lack of reliable transportation can be the difference between welfare and a decent job.

When I wrote the pledge, I asked people to donate $20 or 5 hours. I wanted to make it easy for anyone to participate, but really what I'm hoping for is a donation of time.

Time from your schedule to let someone know that they're important.

Time to develop a solid relationship with someone, a bond which will carry over into their child's life.

Time which will demonstrate to them that all lives are important enough for someone to notice them-- when they see themselves as valuable, even in less than optimal circumstances, they will be able to see others as valuable as well. In addition, your attention and concern expresses your unconditional love to them.

Love is a verb, and your practice of it can make a huge difference in someone else's life.

Be bold in your love.

No one ever suffered from someone loving them too much. We only suffer when we are not loved well enough.

BOQUILLAS DEL CARMEN, Mexico — When the long siege of isolation finally lifted this week, and Americans again descended upon this tiny settlement across from the Big Bend National Park, it was no surprise that some folks were unprepared.

At the Park Bar, the pool tables still were in disrepair, and the shelves held only a few bottles of tequila and yellowish mescal. Bartender Miguel Valdez admitted the beer supply also was dangerously thin.

After so many dashed hopes, the owner had decided to wait and see.

“The boss didn't believe they were going to open, so we're not stocked up. I called him again yesterday but he still didn't believe it,” he said of the absentee owner.

News Channel

But even a possible beer shortage couldn't dent the good times Wednesday, as, after almost 11 years of being cut off from tourists and American friends, the folks here finally could celebrate.

In the street, old comrades exchanged abrazos and family news, a craggy troubadour banged out traditional tunes on a worn guitar and a blonde woman from Terlingua played hula hoop with local tikes.

“The hoops will stay, but I'll be back,” said Crystal Allbright, 51, who first visited in 1990.

Five minutes from the national park but five hours over bad roads to Melchor Muzquiz, the closest city to the south, this old mining town always was as much an appendage of Texas as part of Mexico.

Food, gasoline, mail and hard cash came from the United States, medical emergencies often were treated in American hospitals and friendships with folks in the Big Bend region went back decades.

That all changed in May 2002, when the crossing was closed as part of a dramatic tightening of the border. With the town's lifeblood gone, many people moved away.

And although park officials immediately began lobbying for the decision to be reversed, for years it seemed a futile effort.

“It was a popular visitor attraction. When you came to the park and asked what there was to do here, among many things, we said go to Boquillas,” said David Elkowitz, a park spokesman. “I would say it was a great loss not to be able to visit Boquillas.”

The singing boatman

Then, last week, after years of work by officials in both countries, what many thought impossible in an age when “border security” is a hot-button political issue, quietly became a reality.

Enjoying a couple of cold ones at the Park Bar were two officials from U.S. Customs and Border Protection national headquarters who were tasting the fruits of the successful project.

“We've been coming all the way from Washington for the last three years. We basically worked alongside the National Park Service,” said Bryan Kegley, a CBP program manager.

“I think it's going to be great for the park and the river outfitters, and it's certainly going to be great for Boquillas,” he said.

Also at the bar was Carina Sieler, 50, a German travel writer who had jumped a plane for Texas when she heard rumors that the crossing might reopen.

“I was exactly in this building back in the late 1990s. In the past, we highly recommended crossing into Mexico at different places, but we had to remove that. It just didn't feel safe. Now we're going to put it back in the book,” she said.

Perhaps the best known celebrant in town was Victor Valdez, 62, the singing boatman, who, for 30 years had ferried people across the river.

After the closure, he began serenading rafters on the Rio Grande with tunes such as “Cielito Lindo,” and “El Rancho Grande.”

“I feel very happy. It was very difficult at first, but later I began a n

Tunisia issues arrest warrant for Ben Ali
Tunis, Jan 26 (Agencies):
Published on 27 Jan. 2011 12:20 AM IST
Print  Text Size

Tunisia has issued an international arrest warrant for ousted President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, accusing him of taking money out of the North African nation illegally.
Ben Ali, who fled to Saudi Arabia after being driven from power this month by violent protests, is also being charged with illegally acquiring real estate and other assets abroad, Justice Minister Lazhar Karoui Chebbi said Wednesday.
Tunisia is seeking the arrest of Ben Ali’s wife, Leila, as well as other family members. French media have reported that Leila left the country with millions in gold bullion.
Ben Ali, his wife and their clan have been widely accused of abusing their power to enrich themselves: In France, where family members are believed to have assets ranging from apartments to racehorses, the Paris prosecutors’ office has opened a preliminary investigation into their holdings.
The former president fled Jan. 14 after 23 years in power, pushed out by weeks of protests driven by anger over joblessness, repression and corruption. His swift departure was followed by riots, looting and unrest.
On Wednesday, the justice minister released figures that highlighted the massive scope of that unrest: Some 11,029 prisoners, about a third of the country’s prison population, were able to escape amid the chaos, he said. Of those, 1,532 prisoners have returned behind bars, he said.
Another 74 prisoners died in fires that broke out at several prisons.
Chebbi spoke to reporters as Tunisian police fired tear gas at hundreds of protesters who have been pressuring the interim government to get rid of old guard ministers who served under Ben Ali.
The clashes broke out in front of the prime minister’s office in Tunis, the capital. Acrid clouds of tear gas engulfed hundreds of people, and some demonstrators responded by throwing stones at police.
The state news agency TAP said officials are to announce changes to the interim government later Wednesday. The acting premier must replace five ministers who quit their posts, echoing protesters’ concerns.
The caretaker government includes some former opposition leaders, but many top posts, including prime minister and the ministers of defence, foreign affairs and the interior, were retained by Ben Ali cronies.
Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi, who took that post in 1999 under Ben Ali and has kept it through the upheaval, has vowed to quit politics after elections in the coming months. But he insists he needs to stay on for now to guide Tunisia through a transition to democracy.

My past childcare experience: I was a nanny for 13 years before becoming a medical massage and aquatic therapist. I spent three of those thirteen years nannying for a boy with severe autism while I went back to school for my sports therapy and medical massage certificates. It was a life changing experience that shaped my future in ways I had never imagined. I loved teaching him new skills and exploring the world around us together. I enjoyed creating goals with his family and helping him to reach those goals. Working with this young man taught me so much about this world and who I want to be. To this day I still celebrate holidays with this family. For the following six years I owned my own business doing massage and aquatic therapy for children and adults with special needs. Most of my clients I worked with for 4+ years. I treasure each person and the families that I connected with. It was amazing to watch these individuals grow and overcome and learn. I worked with a wide variety of special needs from autism to cerebral palsy to Down syndrome. I had been contracting with the DADS program and when the budget was cut I could no longer sustain my household. This last year I have spent as the spa manager and lead therapist of the Spa at Brookhaven Country Club. While this has been a wonderful experience utilizing my medical massage skills to help members with injuries rehab and implementing programs to grow this business, I have found the lack of support for personal and professional growth in a corporate setting disheartening. I find myself missing the personal relationships and the chance to help people change their lives. I would love to find a family that is looking for someone to help their children explore and learn from the world around them. I value creativity and love to foster this trait in others. I think that culture is an important part of society and experiencing and engaging in these activities help kids to become well rounded social adults. Any chance to foster an interest is exciting! I am an outdoors aficionado that includes everything from kayaking to backpacking to biking. Six years as an aquatic therapist means that I maintained a lifeguard certification that came with CPR and First Aid for the professional rescuer. I have also taught swimming lessons and children's piano lessons. At one point I was wilderness first aid certified as well.

Meet The Boaters: Memories of 'Betty Blue'

Photo Credit: K&A Boating Community Website*
What makes someone decide to live aboard? Does having kids change that? Why do some families stay living aboard, and others decide that as their children grow older, it’s time to leave the waterways and live ashore? This article continues my series of interviews exploring the pro’s and cons of living afloat with children.

 Clare is 39, has three daughters and lives with her partner in Wiltshire. She is just coming to the end of her PGCE and trained as a therapeutic  counsellor before that. She lived on her boat ‘Betty Blue’  for about five years. ‘Betty Blue’ was a 70 foot narrowboat built by Colecraft.

Clare says, “We bought ‘Betty’ as an unfinished project from someone else; my ex is a carpenter and he did most of the fit out. The only thing we had to go on was a week spent renting another boat to see if we liked it - we did! We moved on with our daughter who was two at the time and I had just found out I was pregnant with our second. After we split up I stayed on the boat with the girls, it was then that I really started to appreciate and love being on the boat (even though I was a single mother of two at the time!)

Were you on a mooring or a continuous cruiser?

We were classed as continuous cruisers and were on the Kennet and Avon (canal). I moved roughly between Pewsey and Bath but seeing as those places were separated by the Caen Hill flight I tended to spend periods of time either above or below the flight.
(The Caen Hill flight is a famous canal feature, as there are 29 locks in three groups. The locks take up to 6 hours to travel in a boat.)

 What first attracted you to the lifestyle?

It was my ex's idea really and I liked the idea of a travelling lifestyle  (although we didn't travel that far in distance).

‘Betty Blue’ was lined in oak, and was open plan with one bedroom and one door! My boat was my sanctuary and I loved nothing better than battening down the hatches and shutting the world out.  It had a pump out toilet which made the boat quite smelly the further into it you got.  I really liked the fact that individual boats had their own unique smell, it’s comforting!

The best thing about living on a boat is living lightly on the earth, feeling connected to the outside and nature, minimal housework, getting away from it all, the sound of the engine lulling babies to sleep, fires on the towpath and a sense of community.

The worst things about living on a boat are the lack of space, people looking in your windows, muddy towpaths and the worst of the worst DOG POO (for some reason people treat the towpath as a  general dogs toilet!)

Did your attitude to living aboard change after having children?

I've never lived on a boat without children - I bet  its lovely!

What are the best things for children about this lifestyle?

Connection to nature, low living costs mean you can spend time with the kids, my girls were little when we lived on the boat so we spent a lot of time together, they and I was never really out of sight.

What are the worst things for children about this lifestyle?

 The danger of the water, and dog poo on the towpath (which was essentially my back garden).

 What are the most common questions people ask you about living on a boat?

"Aren't you worried about your children falling in the water?" My answer is “No”,  I'm more worried about them falling in dog poo!

 "Do you pay council tax?" My answer to that was  "Do you pay for a British Waterways license?"

What prompted you to leave the waterways?

After my relationship with my ex broke down I stayed on the boat for another three or four years. After a year or so on my own really getting to know myself and what I was really capable of I met my current partner. He lived on the boat with me for the next couple of years but when I fell pregnant with my third daughter we decided to call it a day.

Although I would have stayed on the boat he wasn't keen on having a baby on there so we moved into a house and have been in one ever since. I still really miss my boaty days and sometimes see ‘Betty’ on the canal (we live close to the K & A), but I wonder if I just  look at those times with rose tinted spectacles. It was time of freedom in that I wasn't constrained by school pick up and drop off.

 If we found ourselves stuck for somewhere to live I would rather go back to the canal than live in a cramped estate or in a big town.  Unfortunately having teenagers limits us as they (especially the eldest) point blank refuses to live on a boat again.  My partner thinks he might like to get a boat as a bolt-hole, I think once the girls have flown the nest. We would like to retire on a boat.

CRT Election Day

Emmeline Pankhurst would be turning in her grave if she knew how little I had exercised my right to vote in this life. When I started living on a narrowboat I was young and care-free, and it was easy to assume that all of the political parties were as bad as each other. I was an art college graduate with messy hair and hippy clothes and if I did vote, I mused whimsically, perhaps I’d vote for the Green party. It also seemed to me, that living on a boat without a permanent address made it very difficult to register to vote. It was only as I matured, like a fine wine (or a smelly cheese) that I made time to look into this properly. By filling out a simple form called A Declaration of Local Connection any person of no fixed abode can actually be registered on the electoral role.
So, with the imminent inauguration of the Canal and Rivers Trust it was quite new to me to be invited to express a preference in an election that will have a significant impact on my way of life. I have no idea why when boaters bring in about 20 per cent of British Waterway’s annual income*, that they are only allocated four elected council positions. There were 33 candidates standing for election to represent private boaters and I was struck by the passion for and dedication to the waterways that each of their statements displayed. Many of the candidates already do notable voluntary work, being members of associations, restoration projects, committees, societies and charities. At first I was drawn to the candidates that I feel I ‘know’ through my work life, or through their on line presence. But after taking the time to read all of the statements carefully, I found it more and more difficult to make a decision.
 I was impressed by the extensive boating experience held by all of the candidates, their previous achievements and their proposals for the future. I liked it when two candidates specified that the waterways are for boats. I felt an affinity with Ian Robert Harrison when he wrote “I lived aboard with my young family for three years”, because I too have a young family aboard.  I thought that it was interesting when Frank Kelly pointed out that the DEFRA consultation did not reflect that the waterways “now support a large population of people dependent on boats as homes”.
For me personally, selecting someone with an understanding of the needs of the live aboard boater was a must, but that person must also be willing to fairly represent boaters of all types with differing ideas of what is important. “Categorising boaters into particular groupings is unhelpful and divisive,” said Alan Fincher’s statement.
The election closed on Friday at noon.  I cast my vote on line and came away from this experience with the utmost respect for all of these people dedicated to spending so much of their time in improving the experience of the waterways for all boaters.
What would be important to you in such an election? If you are not already a boat owner hotel boats are a wonderful way to explore the English canals and rivers.

For the month of March this blog will be featuring these sponsored posts, while I get on top of my various work committments. I plan to include more tales about the real life of a narrowboat wife in April. If you would like to contribute a personal story about living aboard I am happy to accept guest posts.

Marcos Ambrose 2014 driver profile

January 27, 2014,

NASCAR driver stats, preview information for the 2014 season

RELATED: 2014 Sprint Cup Series driver profiles Register for 2014 NASCAR Fantasy Games

Likeable Australian Marcos Ambrose slipped a little off of his previous season's pace in 2013 falling from 18th to 22nd in the standings. Although he started from the pole at Watkins Glen International, an accident ended his bid for a third consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory at the road course. His best finish of the year was sixth at Michigan International Speedway.

In 2012, Ambrose tied his best (2009) finish in the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings with one win (Watkins Glen), three top-fives and two poles. In 2011, his first year at Richard Petty Motorsports, Ambrose scored his first NASCAR Sprint Cup win at The Glen. He had 12 top-10 finishes. In 2010, his last year with JTG Daugherty Racing, Ambrose had two top-five finishes and five top-10 finishes. Ironically, his best overall season to date in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series occurred in his rookie year of 2009 when he had four top-five and seven top-10 results.

Ambrose made his national series debut in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2006 and earned a pole at Kentucky Speedway. The following year he moved to the NASCAR Nationwide Series with the same team and posted a season-best fourth place from his first series pole at Memphis Motorsports Park. His breakthrough first NASCAR Nationwide Series victory came in 2008 at Watkins Glen,which led to his signing with Richard Petty Motorsports. Prior to NASCAR, Ambrose won two V8 Super Car titles (2003-2004) in his homeland. He was the 1995 Australian Go-Kart champion.

NASWA Awards, November 2005

British Commonwealth DXer

There has been some confusion over what is required for this award. The NASWA Awards Program states that the Senior British Commonwealth DX’er Award is for verification of at least one shortwave broadcast station in each of 30 broadcast countries that are or have belonged to the British Commonwealth. The Master British Commonwealth DX’er is awarded for 40 broadcast countries.

The following is a list of the current 53 Member Countries of the British Commonwealth (Additional Broadcast Countries that are a part of the Member Countries are shown parenthetically). Additional information may be found at their web site:

NASWA Awards, February 1998

Howdy! I hope you Holidays were everything you wanted them to be and hope you managed to get some time at the dials. DX season started slowly for me this year-just too much work stuff interfering with the radio stuff-but got a major boost when I was part of the HATDX team at the DX Palace in Buxton, on the outer banks of North Carolina. The DX and the tuning oil flowed and a great experience was had by all. From this prime location we were able to log all the Indian transmitters as well as a buncha other really good catches. If you have not gone on a DXpedition you owe it to yourself to do it: not only is the radioing fun but so is the conversation and the occasion.

NASWA Awards, August 1997

Howdy and welcome to summer in Virginia! The weather can’t seem to make up its mind if it wants to be hot or cold but thunder storms somewhere on the earth make listening conditions remind me that it is indeed summer. The awards business has been slow and it has been several months since there has been enough to write about. The summer months are a perfect time to stay in touch with your hobby by organizing your QSL albums (besides, that can be done in the air conditioned house). Be sure to check your cards against the NASWA awards booklet and see if you qualify for an award or two that might have slipped through a crack somewhere.

National Center for Public Policy Research press release

For Release: May 28, 2008
David Almasi at (202) 507-6398 or [email protected]

Overwhelming Majority of Americans Oppose Lieberman-Warner Global Warming Proposal, New Poll Suggests

Clinton, McCain and Obama at Odds With 90%+ of Americans

Washington, DC - Just as the U.S. Senate is poised to vote on the Lieberman-Warner America's Climate Security Act (S. 2191), a new poll finds an overwhelming majority of Americans oppose the higher energy costs that Lieberman-Warner would impose.

The poll, conducted by the Public Opinion and Policy Center of the National Center for Public Policy Research, found that 65% of Americans reject spending even a penny more for gasoline in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  The number rejecting raising gas prices  in an effort to combat global warming has increased by 17 percentage points -- or 35% -- in just over two months.  The National Center conducted a similar survey in late February.

An additional 13% oppose spending more than 5% more for gasoline to attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Lieberman-Warner plan would increase petroleum prices by 5.9% by 2015, according to Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions.  Other studies indicate the plan would push prices even higher.

The survey also found that 71% of Americans reject spending more for electricity, with 16% opposing spending any more than 12% extra for electricity.

A study commissioned jointly by the American Council for Capital Formation and the National Association of Manufacturers estimated that the Lieberman-Warner proposal would increase electricity prices by between 13% and 14% by 2014.  Other econometric studies indicate that Lieberman-Warner would push electricity costs even higher.

When gasoline and electricity price increases are taken together, 90% of Americans reject Lieberman-Warner plan's costs -- even the low-range of the projected costs.

"As incredible as it sounds that 90% of Americans reject the Lieberman-Warner plan's costs, the actual number who reject it may be even higher.  Electricity and gasoline price hikes are only two of the costs of this proposal," said David A. Ridenour, vice president of the National Center for Public Policy Research.  "The price for food and consumer goods would also be pushed higher and many Americans would lose their jobs.  You can't merely accept energy price increases and opt out of all the other costs."

"As amazing as it is that 90% of the public agrees on anything," added Ridenour, "is the fact that all three of the major presidential candidates -- Senators Clinton, McCain and Obama -- favor a proposal the public appears to be almost unanimously against."

The America's Climate Security Act (S. 2191), which could be voted on in the U.S. Senate as early as June 2, would place strict caps on the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that power plants, fuel refiners and producers, chemical producers and other manufacturers may release into the atmosphere.  The proposal -- frequently referred to as a "cap-and-trade" plan -- would also establish an emissions trading system that would permit companies that emit fewer greenhouse gases than they are allowed to sell the excess portion to companies that exceed their allowances.  The Act's sponsors estimate that the bill would reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by up to 63% by 2050.

Respondents to The National Center's survey were provided with a brief description of what America's Climate Security Act would do and then asked how much more they would be willing to pay for gasoline and electricity to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

They were given the choice between "nothing more," percentage increases correlating to estimates from three different econometric studies of Lieberman-Warner, and a percentage increase just below the most optimistic of these projections.

The poll used studies from Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, and from the American Council for Capital Formation and the National Association of Manufacturers.

The National Center used all three studies because the findings of the studies varied widely.

"There's been a robust debate over which economic analysis is accurate.  Proponents believe that lower-range cost estimates strengthen their case for approval of the plan, while opponents believe higher-range cost estimates strengthen the case against it.  That debate turns out to be irrelevant," said Ridenour.  "Americans oppose Warner-Lieberman no matter which study is closer to the mark.  Just 6% would be willing to accept the gasoline and electricity price increase ranges forecast by any of the three studies."

Opposition to higher gas prices was particularly pronounced among minorities, with 72% of blacks and 72% of Hispanics opposed to paying any more for gasoline to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  This compares with 64% of whites opposing paying more.

Hispanics led the way in opposition to higher electricity prices, with 77% opposed to spending any more for electricity, compared to 71% of whites and 69% of blacks saying they were not willing to spend more.

The poll was conducted by Wilson Research Strategies, which surveyed 802 people who are likely to vote in the 2008 general elections.  It included 37% registered Democrats, 30% Independents and 29% Republicans.  It has a margin of error of +-3.46% at 95% confidence interval.

The National Center is a non-profit, non-partisan educational foundation based in Washington, DC established in 1982.  It is a truly independent foundation, with approximately 99% of its funding comes from some 72,000 active donors.

The National MS Society’s Everyday Matters, supported by Genzyme, a Sanofi company, was an interactive national project that uncovered stories of real people facing the everyday challenges that MS can bring on the path to one’s best life.

DeMint to Oppose the Tax Deal, Could Filibuster

by Daniel Foster

Hugh Hewitt:

Senator Jim DeMint just announced on my program that he will oppose the deal as well as a vote for cloture on the deal.  He is reluctant to criticize GOP Senate leadership, but believes the deal at a minimum has to be paid for, and that we need “a permanent economy” not a temporary one as well as permanent tax cuts, not temporary tax cuts.
