Harp Issues Q House Plea

Posted to: Campaign 2013
On the heels of a "traumatizing" walk through Newhallville, mayoral candidate Toni Harp came to the 10th-floor offices of the Chamber of Commerce to call on the city, local churches, and Yale-New Haven Hospital to pull together to revive the Dixwell Community "Q" House.
Harp (pictured, with supporter Matthew Nemerson in the background) made the plea Tuesday morning at an appearance before the Chamber at 900 Chapel St. Harp is one of five candidates seeking the Democratic nomination in a Sept. 10 primary to replace outgoing Mayor John DeStefano; the chamber has been inviting candidates in for interviews.
Harp's proposal was inspired in part by a vote-pulling trip to Newhallville on Sunday in which she met with neighbors who feel "under siege by violence on the streets." Her remarks came as neighbors, cops and property owners grapple with how to improve the neighborhood; click here to read some recent stories about that.
Speaking before a crowd of 20 Chamber members, Harp said she felt "traumatized" by her experience Sunday walking down Division Street, near where two recent murders took place. She described meeting two women who work at Yale-New Haven Hospital and feel afraid to leave their homes because of loiterers and gang members who perpetrate violence and intimidate people in the neighborhood. She said kids in the neighborhood need more constructive ways to spend their time.
She called on Yale-New Haven Hospital to help revive the iconic Dixwell Community "Q" House at 179 Dixwell Ave., which shut its doors in 2003 after serving as a community hub for over 75 years. The city now owns the property; activists have been trying to reopen it for years. Nearby alderwomen have recently been rallying around a new effort to reopen it.
Harp said she had not discussed the proposal with the hospital. Yale-New Haven couldn't be reached for comment for this story.
She also called on churches to do more. In the same way that Yale makes payments in lieu of taxes, churches, which are also exempt from property tax, need to make greater contributions to the city, she argued.
"This is heresy," she said, but churches need to step up. "Is it OK for them to sit in a community" and not do more to help people there? she asked.
After a half-hour question-and-answer session, Harp elaborated on her remarks.
She said she was deeply disturbed by Sunday's walk through Newhallville: "This is no way for people to live."
Her Baptist faith tradition has a strong sense of mission, she said. She suggested a new mission: Churches need to "adopt a block" of Newhallville and "help us revive our communities."
"Given the fact that they don't have to pay taxes," she said, "we're going to have to ask them for more."
Harp called for setting up a new, not-for-profit board that would oversee the revival of the Q House. The city could act as a fiduciary before the group gets its official 501(c)3 not-for-profit tax status, she said. She said the community center could be reestablished, and offer some programming, in a matter of just three or four months.
She said the community center should be in Newhallville, but not necessarily in the Q House building. It could be in one of the schools, she suggested.
"We could find the money," she said. "We've just got to get it going."
In response to a question about the city's relationship to Yale, Harp took aim at Yale's development arm, University Properties, for its management of several properties on Audubon Street. Harp said she has heard complaints that Yale was driving out businesses with high rent.
"Is it really that reasonable to have high rent that creates vacancy?" she asked. "It seems more of a priority [for Yale] to bank some properties than to" have them filled by businesses, she remarked. University Properties couldn't be reached for comment as of press time.
Matt Nemerson, a former Chamber president who dropped out of this year mayor's race and subsequently endorsed Harp, accompanied her to Tuesday's event. In her remarks, Harp echoed Nemerson's idea of developing the city's underutilized shoreline.
Harp was the latest in a series of mayoral candidates to appear before the Chamber. Fellow candidate Kermit Carolina (pictured), the principal of James Hillhouse High School, also appeared before the group Tuesday morning
Carolina cited violence as a main problem facing the city—and therefore deterring economic growth. He called for a "gang injunction" that would allow authorities to restrict the movements of alleged gang members. And he called for the city to hire more local cops.
He also criticized the police union for allowing senior members to rack up overtime pay, which then translates to higher pensions. "I don't want to turn this into a police-bashing meeting," he said, "but this is one practice that needs to stop."
Carolina called for the Chamber to partner with high schools to teach kids to start their own businesses.
Henry Fernandez, who's also running for mayor, spent the morning at police headquarters attending his first meeting of CompStat, the city's weekly crime-statistics meeting. He is due to appear before the Chamber on July 18 along with fellow candidates Sundiata Keitazulu and Justin Elicker.

This is outrageous.
All this does for me is show…
A) How out of touch Harp is with New Haven. The fact that she needs to be shown around and that she has no idea how people live is enough alone to disqualify her.
B) More of the same "get other people to pay for what we want" bulls%$. Why should YNHH help front a community center in Dixwell? Why always come knocking at Yale's door?
C) Bad management skills! She's at the Chamber of Commerce, with it's president. Why not ask for help making a business plan to help fund Q House, instead of going begging or demanding it?
D) Disconnect with reality. These churches offer up a LOT of services that help the poor in New Haven…soup kitchens, shelters, drub rehab programs. Harp wants to pull money from these churches to run her own programs? That's THE OPPOSITE of charity. These churches can afford to ruin these services because they're not taxed, and they run better programs than the government ever would.
This just impresses on me yet again how Harp is all about taking money from people to give it to others, with no idea how any of this really works. Classic lifetime politician…promise the moon and rely on pressuring people to give you the money rather than creating a real solution. It makes me so sad that she's got so much support.
We don't need a politician in office, we need someone who can solve problems and craft new solutions to replace the old money-shuffling and favor-trading.

Thank you Senator Harp!! The Q House must be revived if we care at all about reducing Newhallville violence and disenfranchisement. DeStefano's neglect of the vital social institutions of Dixwell - Newhallville is a major contributor to the breakdown of positive social structures in the area. At last, we have a candidate talking about community concerns, not personal issues.
posted by: Curious on July 9, 2013 12:29pm
I literally could not be more disappointed in this. Any tiny shred of faith I had that Harp could be a good mayor is washed away after reading these past few articles about her.
posted by: markcbm on July 9, 2013 12:38pm
I applaud Toni Harp's stated desire to improve Newhallville. She would really set the tone if she were to put her money where her mouth is and decided to reside there, as Mrs. Holder-Windfield and Keitazulu have done.
Harp's mere presence/residence - and the increased attention it would bring - could transform a block. Leadership by example.
posted by: Curious on July 9, 2013 12:40pm
New Haven, and Newhallville and Dixwell, do need programs to help youth…but they don't have to come in the form of the Q House.
It would be nice to see some real solutions, not more "this is what my campaign managers tell me people want to hear" populism.

And Yale-New Haven will never be. Not when it comes to cash…..
posted by: Powers on July 9, 2013 1:00pm
It seems like everything Harp does is completely knee-jerk, without any real thought process behind it. Crime is destroying an area of the city? Let's take money from churches that may be the only spark of life and stability in the area and use it to pay for a likely very expensive project that WON'T CHANGE CRIME RATES. There is no connection here. Why doesn't she gather experts together and address the problem in a reasonable, concerted fashion instead of launching some seemingly random, half-baked scheme to spend money without a real plan? How is it possible that she has so much support among city leadership? I am frankly very scared of what a Harp administration will look like if this is a demonstration of her problem-solving skills.

Senator Harp's call for the formation of a coalition of the religious community, the business community and Yale-New Haven Hospital to revive the Dixwell Community House sounds like a great idea. That coalition could be expanded to the city of New Haven, Yale University, social and fraternal organizations and private citizens throughout the city and Q-House alumni scattered across the country. If there is a real desire in the community to resurrect the Q-House, people who live in the Dixwell-Newhallville community can also make an investment in the plan to benefit our youth. Hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more, are available in this community to contribute to this cause. If we really, truly want this to happen, we need to be willing to make some financial sacrifices. If every family in Dixwell-Newhallville contributed one-twelfth of their annual cable bill to a Q-House rebuilding fund, a size-able chunk of money could be raised in a very short time.
If Toni Harp could inspire and encourage all of these groups and individuals to work together on this goal, a great thing would be accomplished.

The Q House reopening is an obvious solution proposed by many others past. Waterfront development is a bad idea. Take that money and apply it toward neighborhood revitalization. And if youre still stuck on the waterfront may I suggest River Street in Fair Haven where there is an outstanding proposal for development since 2003. I'm still undecided on my vote. Stop talking about old ideas and start following thru with them.

I'm glad to see Senator Harp outraged and showing emotion over the state of affairs of those in her community. I highly doubt that she needed the walk to fuel her outrage but was rather using the walk and her subsequent description as device or tool to highlight the day-to-day living conditions of many New Haven Residents. I suppose this art is lost on some.
Regardless, I'm glad to see that she is not afraid to go after Yale or the Churches - who both need to do more. Yale's high vacancy rate in the downtown area and their desire to drive many family-owned businesses out to bring in larger chains is partially to blame for the decline in entrepenuership in New Haven. It is right to demand that Yale play its part in economic growth. It is similarly right to demand that churches do their part and cater not just to the spiritual needs of their members but also their developmental needs in and out of the church.
I don't fault Senator Harp for making these demands and I believe that whoever wins the office of the Mayor will follow suit.
Also, I'm glad to see that Mr. Carolina is refreshed from his evening of not having to debate and made it to his meeting with the Chamber. To be fair, I wonder why he chose to meet with the Chamber after spurning time and again so many other organizations. NHI, is there any chance you can ask why he chose this event and not the debate last night, or the union endorsement meetings?

@Curious, she has already stated that the place does not need to be the Q House but it could be a school in place, or otherwise.
posted by: Eddie on July 9, 2013 1:43pm
I continue to be impressed with Harp on two major points. First, she has consistently stated that under-served neighborhoods need more attention and support from the next municipal administration.
Second, she articulates extremely detailed plans of how these neighborhoods could receive more attention. She is able to identify specific state funds that can support particular programs. She knows the relevant organizations and leaders and has a very clear vision of how they can play a role. She is showing an uncanny ability to bring people together to collectively solve problems.
The Q House is a vital neighborhood organization and its revitalization has been an important priority of leaders from this neighborhood. Among all those running, Harp has the most credibility when she promises to get this facility up and running again.

Shock and Awe Notes:
1. If one actually needed a reason to vote against Toni Mini-me2 Harp, it is this story. It is a tale of living in one of the state's largest cities for decades, representing people at the local and state level, and being totally out of touch with their daily lives.
2. The year we had 34 murders and the bodies were stacking up in the streets like cord wood, where was Harp?
3. As poverty has risen in New Haven, where was Harp?
4. As the gangs have increased and urban unemployment spikes into the 20s - where was Harp? What does she think people who are poor and unemployed do all day? Has she never driven or walked in these neighborhoods? Has she never canvassed for votes here?
5. Her trauma is either worthy of a Long Wharf production, or she is the most out of touch and insincere politician I've ever known. To think that I've been in the 'ville more than she has, is remarkable.
6. As for the Q House Revival - it is not magic bullet to urban crime or our youth. There are so many activities for young people. There is not the will or leadership to put them in existing programs city-wide. It's real easy to pretend a building is a solution - it's not.
7. A non-profit tax was a non-starter several years ago. If Harp thinks this is great - start with her own church and demand they pony up $5,000 or $10,000. Many of these churches are doing things in the community already and providing services the city does not.
8. Likewise - it is not the hospital's responsibility to fund the Q House and it may well not have the money to do so. YNH just got smacked with tens of millions of dollars in new taxes that Harp/Malloy/Looney approved in the state budget only she "understands."

Wow a page straight out of JD's book wow! Tell them what they want to hear. Lets get the churches together ect. I am so experiencing deja vu! We all live on hope and dreams…but the one thing I dislike greatly is a person that preys on those hopes and dream.
I agree with others the more I read and learn the worse it gets. Dare I say Henry is about to step up a notch.
posted by: FacChec on July 9, 2013 2:00pm
Since the city currently is the lease holder of the Dixwell "Q" House;
"The city now owns the property; activists have been trying to reopen it for years".
It is perfectly feasibly and sensible for Harp
to call for the Non-profits and Churches to step up and pay or contribute more to these important social issues.
Mayor Destefano first proposed the revival in his state of the city address three years ago. Indeed, the mayor placed spending to the bond fund to initiate this action. He did not public-ally seek the help of non-profits, but did call upon the church to do more.
Harp's strategy is consistent with the city's past endeavor.
The city auditors in their year end report during the 2011/12 audit, recommended that the city begin planning to tax non-profits and non-profit housing authorities to pay taxes. Harp's re-newed call is consistent with the auditor suggestions to the Board of Aldermen.
It seems quite clear that there are those on this site who chose to ignore the reporter's story in chief, and the reporters quote's attributed to Harp and others, while creating their own story line in order to achieve a desired result, more usual than not,a negative conclusions.

@ Thomas Alfred Paine, it would be nice if someone put put a call for a coalition to restore the Q House. Unfortunately your statement that Toni Harp did that is a fiction. She said that YNHH should fund the Q House; that churches should do more in their own neighborhoods; and nowhere does she call on a coalition of other businesses. You wove those together and gave her credit, but that is not what happened.
@ Atticus Shrugged, I was not aware that Toni Harp's $600,000 residence that she lives in for free was in Newhallville, I am pretty sure it's in Westville right on the Yale golf course. That's HER community.
How many people in Newhallville have this in their neighborhood, like Harp does?
Also, the fact that you could say something like the following makes me wonder if you live in New Haven or not.
"It is right to demand that Yale play its part in economic growth. It is similarly right to demand that churches do their part and cater not just to the spiritual needs of their members but also their developmental needs in and out of the church. "
Maybe the city should raise taxes on people who live in the wealthier parts of New Haven and relocate to that area some of these services like meth clinics and mental health centers that we have here in Dwight and Dixwell.

Greg, is there an email I can reach you at? I have a legit idea to help out kids. Thanks!
posted by: Noteworthy on July 9, 2013 2:51pm
Tax the non-profits came after the idea to tax the rain - so the city could reap greater revenues from non-profits but in doing so, would have garnered greater revenues from all of us. Is this in Harp's future? A tax on the rain?
If she loves the Keno poverty tax, she'll love the rain tax.

@Curious, I don't see you rushing to divulge your name or where you truly live. I could just as easily say I live anywhere or nowhere at all. That is the beauty of anonymity on this site and many others. Indeed, my guess is you'd be a lot more subdued in real life - alas, I don't know you and that's just my guess.
As for Senator Harp, she has fought tirelessly to bring money to the City of New Haven for 20 years, she has fought for early childhood education, reproductive rights, has negotiated against state unions, and has done all of this for a pithy salary well below what she could earn with her Masters degree from Yale. She does not need to pass some illusory litmus test that you and the other commentators post on this site. Indeed, she does not need your approval and will likely never get it.
What matters most, for not just her but all candidates, is how they perceive themselves and the good that they do. Please, stop trying to assassinate her because she has some creature comforts. The goal for her should not be to move to Newhallville unless she wants to: but rather the enable a new generation to have houses next to the golf course. And mind you, Mr. Carolina lives around the corner from her - right next to that same golf course. And Mr. Elicker lives in East Rock. Are you going to argue that everyone should move? Lead the charge! Viva la revolucion!
posted by: Curious on July 9, 2013 3:03pm
@ Atticus, that's great to use the schools. You can read all about that idea here on Justin Elicker's website: http://elicker2013.com/solution/open-neighborhood-schools-community
@ Eddie, just how exactly does Harp "most credibility when she promises to get this facility up and running again"?
I think my criticism of the Harp supporters is mostly due to the fact that they make empty claims with no supporting evidence and expect them to go unchallenged. A whole lot of "Toni has the best ideas and can make them all work", when all these ideas come from outside her, and she offers NO actual specifics. Then when you question her on that, the Harpies (see what I did there?) start attacking all over the critic's perceived favorite candidate, instead of credibly defending Harp.

Dear Curious, Did I not just read in this article that Toni Harp appeared before the New Haven Chamber of Commerce and advocate the revival of the Q-House through a concerted effort of the religious, business, government and social agencies? Whether Harp called it a "coalition" or not, that is what a united effort would be. At this point I am not concerned about who gets the "credit." I just want the goal accomplished. Since Toni Harp brought up the subject at this meeting, I decided to join in the dialogue and add to the idea. There is no fiction in what Harp said, or my interpretation of what she said. What is your proposal for the Q-House? I'm curious.
All you Harp-haters who keep harping about her late husband, her children, her personal life, and her private residence instead of the issues New Haveners are concerned about, keep up the negative attacks. Your efforts will boomerang and encourage more people to support her. You are a great help to her campaign!
posted by: Curious on July 9, 2013 3:09pm
@ Atticus, my point is that there is allot of cheerleading that Harp is deeply involved in this community, when that's far from the truth. However when that inconvenient fact is brought up, instead of supporters saying "Well Toni Harp may live in splendor, but here is how she is connected to the people of Newhallville", I hear "Well Justin Elicker is from New Canaan so he's worse!", or "Fernandez isn't even Latino!"
To hear it on here, it's like Harp has no flaws at all, and any criticisms are just met with vehement derision of other candidates. I admit that Elicker has shortcomings, right here in these pages. I have yet to see anyone from the Harp camp do the same.
posted by: HewNaven on July 9, 2013 4:08pm
markcbm is exactly right about residency. If Harp is a leader in the war on poverty she would already live in a neighborhood like Newhallville and she wouldn't be surprised to learn about the conditions. Instead she's "cramming" for the test, trying to understand what those of us who live here already know. Where have you been all these years, Toni Harp?
posted by: ISR on July 9, 2013 5:22pm
Maybe it's selective perception, but it seems like NHI has had a disproportional number of stories with Harp in the headline. What's next? "Harp gives thumbs up to New Haven Pizza."
If she's so important—to rate all this electronic ink—how about some digging? Journalism isn't stenography.
E.g., talking to her Bethany neighbors and New Haven neighbors to see where she more often hangs her hat.
Investigating the connection between her and her husband's fiances. For those who remember, she doing a combo of Enid Waldholz—my husband did it all, and I wasn't paying attention—and Sargeant Shultz—I know nothing.
To be "traumatized" by Newhallville is to be of touch. It's news to her that Newhallvile is distressed? Where has she been?
Say what you want about DeStefano. At least when he started, she hadn't already been a lifetime political hack. He was running things.
posted by: plannerman on July 9, 2013 6:51pm
How does she actually propose encouraging neighborhood redevelopment or water front growth? Is she going to push for rezoning? For investment incentives? Is there any reality behind what she is saying or is it just like the empty rhetoric that we heard at last night's debate? I was pretty open minded till I started looking into things. Sen. Harp seems to be riding the heir apparent train…
I've known and seen Elicker working in the city, he's out there going to meetings. It takes a lot of work to build these kinds of partnerships. It not the same things as legislating from Hartford.

Lets be honest..
Elicker has been in this city and working with folks in hard areas for years..YEARS!
Henry (dear I say) also has been in the hard areas and gets it..(ugg I can not believe I said that out loud!)
Keitazulu TOTALLY GETS IT! And I love him for that and he is going to get a hug from a strange blonde lady next tuesday for it :)
Carolina runs hillhouse nuff said.
but harp I am sorry these little pc stunts may give her some insight and some press, it may give her some talking points…....BUT DO YOU REALLY THINK SHE WILL REMEMBER if she became mayor??? Or will she remember the few that helped her get there?? I AM NOT BUYING IT! It kills me so some are! I really need to start doing some smacks on the back of some folks heads! WAKE UP!
And can I say "traumatizing" REALLY and she has been representing New Haven for HOW LONG! It bewilders me!

I do not need the next mayor to live in Newhallville.
I do need the next mayor to be switched on and aware about the problems Newhallville faces, and have workable solutions.

I don't get how anyone can say "articulates extremely detailed plans of how these neighborhoods could receive more attention." Have you seen her at debates or elsewhere when off script? EVERYONE else has more coherent points than her. This is why I hate the whole "20 years experience, ect" schtick. Sure, experience can be a great thing, but 20 years political experience can also make you great at pandering and being able to answer questions without ever actually answering the question. I mean DeStefano has 20 years experience, do you want to vote for him again?

And the state legislature, on which Harp sits, could have made an effort years ago to lighten up the absurd regulations for after-school programs, which have forced several such programs to close. It's harder to open a licensed after-school program than a school in this state, because the Department of Public Health insists on regulating them as Child Day Care Centers.

"She said she was deeply disturbed by Sunday's walk through Newhallville" writes NHI.
I'll repeat the point of other commenters; how is Sen Harp, who has been a state senator in this area for so long, so out of touch?

Whoever becomes mayor must lead with standards for our children in schools—we must concentrate on not only teaching the academic subjects, but also must focus our efforts on character development, respect, empathy, love, consideration, etc.—we need to be the first urban district to address this issue head on—without focusing on student decorum/behavior we have no chance of improving our kids lot in life—so I propose an In-school suspension (time-out) room in every school—a dean of discipline/behavior modification person in each school and for the entire district our own Therapeutic School for students in grades 1 to 8-this way we can address ALL students and we can have a static cost—-Please look at the Surveys at all the schools that the teachers filled out—one question asks—Do the students treat their teachers with respect? Look at the results and then get on board my wagon train and try to make a real difference—we can't do it w/o the whole school communities support—but we can and must make it better—I believe—Tom (do you?)

The Q House, in that building or elsewhere, has been something the people have wanted for years and years.
Did none of these people write to her, call her for help? How did she not know about this?
Can Harp legitimately claim she knew nothing?
If that is true, what does that say about her actual involvement in New Haven?
What exactly caused it to fail in the first place, who was responsible for the "financial trouble" cited in these articles? NHI, some reporting on this please?
Have ANY candidates looked into why Q house closed in the first place?
posted by: Curious on July 10, 2013 12:48pm
There are plenty of articles on Google about Q House.
If you google "Toni Harp" with "q house" all you get are ger latest press releases and news articles. Nothing about her ever even know about this place before. Nothing about her being at these vigils. Nothing about her ever working with Dixwell to try and re-open it. Nothing about her trying to finance it from her seat in Hartford.
Disconnected, out of touch, telling the people what they want to hear.

Protesters angry at the US for causing civilian deaths with drone attacks on militants in the region have been disrupting cargo shipments on the main US supply route to Afghanistan, which runs from Torkham Gate at the Afghanistan-Pakistan border to Karachi.

The protesters are stopping and harassing truck drivers and turning them back if they are carrying NATO goods.
"We are aware protests have affected one of the primary commercial transit routes between Pakistan and Afghanistan," Pentagon spokesman Mark Wright told Reuters. "We have voluntarily halted US shipments of retrograde cargo ... to ensure the safety of the drivers contracted to move our equipment."
Wright characterized the move as temporary, adding that the US military expected to use the supply route again in the near future.
The United States' other options to move equipment out of Afghanistan are more expensive. They include flying goods out on jets or routing trucks through Russia and Central Asia.

You are here: Main / Customer Services / Public Communications Division / Honolulu News 2002 / CITY OPENED EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER |
NEWS RELEASE Public Communications Division Department of Customer Services City & County of Honolulu 523-4385 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASESeptember 5, 2002 CITY OPENED EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER The City today officially opened its redesigned emergency operations center (EOC) in the basement of the Honolulu Municipal Building with a blessing ceremony and disaster exercise. The new EOC includes 16 computer stations, a bank of television monitors and a large "smart board" digital display. It allows the instant retrieval and display of essential data so that City resources can be brought to bear to mitigate and recover from natural disasters and manmade catastrophes such as hurricanes, tsunamis, major fires or terrorist attacks. "We assessed our Civil Defense operations after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001," Mayor Harris said, "It was clear that our emergency responders had done an excellent job. However, we realized that there were untapped information management capabilities within the City that could be used to expedite efforts to save lives and protect property under conditions that threaten the health and safety of our citizens." The new, tiered consoles allow departments such as Police, Fire, Emergency Medical Services and the Board of Water Supply to do just that. Most positions can also be used by utilities, such as Hawaiian Electric and private agencies, such as the Red Cross. Each position has internet access that allows the display of up-to-date weather data. All can access a special GIS mapping system, designed by the City for emergency management, that shows everything from highways and streams to the location of shelters, to roadblocks and flood-prone intersections. Direct "hotlines" go from the major emergency responders to their command centers. Fire, Police and Ambulance decision makers can instantly determine how many of their assets are committed and those that are available. Transportation planners and those who direct road crews can also use the system to make decisions, coordinate and direct action. The system was designed and built in-house. Initially, the City received an informal proposal of $280,000 from a national company that has built a number of similar facilities. However City resources from the Departments of Facility Maintenance, Planning and Permitting and Information Technology completed the project for $70,000. Specialized software (that was not part of the informal proposal) was added at an additional cost of $30,000. -30- |

"Whats so good about yahoo that msn doesnt have?"
I think msn is the best messenger i have tryed but i havent tryed google talk since you have to be invited or somthing. Yahoo doesnt seem as clean as msn but it may just be because of the lay out being old style computer [windows 95 sort of thing] Msn has everything you would want in my opinion ; audio, webcam, emocicons and you can add your own emocicons which on yahoo can cant do i dont think.
Version 7 and below doesnt come with different text colours and sound clips but if you downlaod msn pluys also its great. (The new msn [7.5]is much better im told but for some reason my computer refuses to down load it and it freezes up).

Keith Johnson. PHOTO: ANTONY KELLY
Monday, January 28, 2013
The final list is in of the candidates vying to take the seat left vacant by the shooting death of a well-known councillor.
Four people will battle it out for the Cromer seat on North Norfolk District Council, which came up after the death of leader Keith Johnson.
Mr Johnson, who was also a long-serving Cromer town councillor, turned the gun on himself after shooting his wife Andrea in December 2012.
The candidates for the poll on Thursday, February 21 are:
● Jen Emery, Norwich Road, Cromer - Labour
● Tony Nash, Cromer Road, Overstrand - Conservative
● David Ramsbotham, Plumstead - UKIP
● Andreas Yiasimi, St Mary's Road, Cromer - Liberal Democrat.
Contrary to a previous report, John Morgan will not be a candidate, following an error in his application.

is it really necessary to keep showing complimentary photographs of a man who killed his wife.
Saturday, January 26, 2013
At least voters have the choice of an Independent, someone who does not have to perform for their party and is held back by dogma, serving aspirational promises they can't keep. An Independent has the freedom to represent all in Cromer, good luck to him and Cromer as a whole.

Quirky News
Amateur treasure hunter finds huge nugget
An amateur prospector hit the jackpot in Australia after unearthing a rare 5kg gold nugget worth an estimated £130,000.
The unidentified man was searching a popular site in the town of Ballarat with a hand-held metal detector when he struck gold.
It is thought to be one the biggest finds in the area for more than two decades.
The prospector, who does not wish to be named, found the Y-shaped deposit at a depth of a little over 60cm before he carefully dug it up.
"A lot of people think Victoria's goldfields are dead and that there's none left, but he has worked in an area where a lot of people have worked in the past and he's been rewarded," explained the town's gold shop owner Cordell Kent.
"We have 800 prospectors on our books and only a couple of those have ever found a nugget over 100oz.
"There have only been one or two big pieces and they were found a long time ago. There's nothing like digging up money, it's good fun."
Ballarat was a key site in Australia's gold rush in the mid-1800s, helping transform the country's economy.

Inflammatory infection of the tonsils, usually with hemolytic streptococci (see streptococcus) or viruses. The symptoms are sore throat, trouble in swallowing, fever, and enlarged lymph nodes on the neck. The infection, which usually lasts about five days, is treated with bed rest and antiseptic gargling. Sulfa drugs or other antibiotics are prescribed in severe bacterial infections to prevent complications. Streptococcal infection can spread to nearby structures. Complications may include abscess, nephritis, and rheumatic fever. Tonsils that become chronically inflamed and enlarged require surgical removal (tonsillectomy).
Learn more about tonsillitis with a free trial on Britannica.com.
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils and will often, but not necessarily, cause a sore throat and fever.
Sometimes, tonsillitis is caused by a superinfection of spirochaeta and treponema, in this case called Vincent's angina or Plaut-Vincent angina.
Although tonsillitis is associated with infection, it is currently unknown if the swelling and other symptoms are caused by the infectious agents themselves, or by the host immune response to these agents. Tonsillitis may be a result of aberrant immune responses to the normal bacterial flora of the nasopharynx.
In many cases of tonsillitis, the pain caused by the inflamed tonsils warrants the prescription of topical anesthetics for temporary relief. Viscous lidocaine solutions are often prescribed for this purpose.
Ibuprofen or other analgesics can help to decrease the edema and inflammation, which will ease the pain and allow the patient to swallow liquids sooner.
When tonsillitis is caused by a virus, the length of illness depends on which virus is involved. Usually, a complete recovery is made within one week; however, some rare infections may last for up to two weeks.
Chronic cases may indicate tonsillectomy (surgical removal of tonsils) as a choice for treatment
Additionally, gargling with a solution of warm water and salt may reduce pain and swelling.
In chronic/recurrent cases (generally defined as seven episodes of tonsillitis in the preceding year, five episodes in each of the preceding two years or three episodes in each of the preceding three years), or in acute cases where the palatine tonsils become so swollen that swallowing is impaired, a tonsillectomy can be performed to remove the tonsils. Patients whose tonsils have been removed are certainly still protected from infection by the rest of their immune system.
Bacteria feeding on mucus which accumulates in pits (referred to as "crypts") in the tonsils may produce whitish-yellow deposits known as tonsilloliths. These may emit an odour due to the presence of volatile sulfur compounds.
Hypertrophy of the tonsils can result in snoring, mouth breathing, disturbed sleep, and obstructive sleep apnea, during which the patient stops breathing and experiences a drop in the oxygen content in the bloodstream. A tonsillectomy can be curative.
In very rare cases, diseases like rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis can occur. These complications are extremely rare in developed nations but remain a significant problem in poorer nations.

Winners were announced last week in the southern portion of Talladega County in a contest judging the best short stories written by middle school and high school students.
The brainchild of Cabot Barden — a local musician who has authored two fictional books on life as a member of a band, several local businesses got on board as sponsors, and a dozen entries came in. Donna Rentfrow, Shirley Ferguson and Barden served as judges.
Entries showed both imagination, storytelling skills and solid use of languages in developing characters and telling the tales.
We congratulate Zach Tarwater, Jordan Lucas and Lora Roberson as the writers of the top-three stories, and we commend all of the young writers for their works. We hope they all continue to express themselves and develop their ideas. And we commend the organizers and sponsors for making it happen.

Bernadette Fox
My name is Bernadette and I am a farmer and gardener in the beautiful state of Michigan. I have been a great lover of the outdoors for as long as I could walk and have been fruit and vegetable farming for longer than that! Well, at least I remember crawling around and testing (rather tasting) the soil's PH. (I remember strawberry soil being relatively palatable. :) I spend most of the year working on our 65 acre farm (http://www.magiclandfarms.com) and selling the produce at our own roadside market located right on the farm. We have orchards and fields of many, many different kinds of vegetables and fruits including apples, peaches, sweet corn, tomatoes, and watermelon. Another crop we grow is hard shell gourds, which plays a big part in my life since they began my career in gourd art. Dried gourds are like canvases where I am able to make anything I can imagine. I sell my art locally and over the internet as well as teach others the world of gourding through writing and videos. Visit my website: http://bernadettesgourdcreations.blogspot.com. You may think I would be tired of working the soil, caring for plants, harvesting and selling produce, but I love to spend my spare time working in my flower garden. My garden is located a mile and a half from our farm on top of a sandy hill in a lush woods overlooking beautiful Pickeral Lake. I start most of my plants from seed, cuttings and layerings and find this to be very rewarding. Most of my flower gardening knowledge comes from self-study, research, and hands-on experience. I am a self proclaimed budding horticulturalist who is ever ready to learn new things, try out experiments, explore the many fields of gardening, and to share my passion and experiences with all my flower buds!Posts by Bernadette:

Amazing product. I bought this in Medium, I'm NC30 with purplish undereye. This Color corrects your undereye, doesn't crease, stays put all day and really blends in with my skintone. I do have to put some kind of brightner if I want to brighten undereye, I use YSL Touche Eclat to top it off and setting powder. I first tried with my fingers and results weren't great, then I tried with with concealer brush and result is amazing. Highly reccomend this. Price is reasonalble, $10.

I literally sat and stared at these once I had them up. Literally. They are fantastic! I was a little worried about the quality because the price seemed so cheap for the product but it was all for nothing. I saw that some people had to put the crystals on and thank goodness mine came completely assembled. Just for that I'd give 5 stars!! :o) I have one in my entryway (which is on the smaller side) and another in my long hallway. They add just the right amount of fabulousness without being overbearing. They also put off fantastic light and sparkle, I couldn't be happier. ***If you want a more modern look go with the small round bulbs and not the candle flame looking ones. It makes a more definitive modern statement and I love the way they look with the chandeliers***
I bought this light fixture to go in my bedroom for a glam/ luxe look. when i first took it out of the box i was not very impressed it did look a bit cheap to me. when i finally got it up and turned on the light...i was like wow..even my husband likes it a lot. my 4 year old stared at it so long he fell over(he was spellbound)...mine did come fully assembled. the crystals are not good quality but with the quantity of them i guess you can afford to skimp on quality. it cast a beautiful shadow on the wall that looks like a huge peacock feather(like the little circles on their feathers) the crystals are hung by tiny hooks and where each crystal is on the fixture there is a tiny flower looking accent...so it looks like the crystals are hanging from little flowers.however that feature cannot at all be seen online not once you have it hung up. The installation was not too bad...very standard!
Fixture is a gorgeous statement maker. Using 65 watt bulbs provides excellent lighting and wonderful crystal shimmer. Installed fixture in my townhouse dining room. Since the townhouse has standard ceiling height, the drop distance from the ceiling is perfect. DOWNSIDE: it took two of us working for 3 hrs to wire individual crystal beads and wire to fixture. Be sure you want to spend that much time!!!! Very tedious!!!! I wonder what the fixture would have cost if all the crystals were factory installed?
This is a beautiful light done in chrome with a diamond patterned shade and within each diamond hangs a small round crystal. The bottom is hard to see in the photo but it is a kind of a bulbous shape done in attached roundish crystals or glass. I know, my description makes it sound ugly but it's not ugly or gorgeous: it doesn't add to or detract from the light. The ceiling plate is chrome and is mainly smooth without any kind of engravings or scrolling, it has some minor ribbing that transitions from the ceiling plate to the pole. Amazingly packed: the box had a square metal rim running around the interior of the box to help protect the light from being bashed. Then the entire shade was lined in the interior with cardboard and then the whole thing was wrapped tightly with cellophone so that the crystals could not move and be damaged in transit: very impressive. Probably the best wrapped light I've seen. Came with the usual white gloves so you wouldn't smudge the crystals. When the light is on it casts a very pretty mottled shadow upon the ceiling, and if the sun hits it all the crystals cast a spectrum of light.
I love this fixture as much as everyone else and agree with all their assessments. I just want to let everyone know that the fixture states that it requires an E12 bulb. I spent two stinking hours searching for such a thing. The ones I found were $10.00 a piece. After going home and doing research YOU CAN USE ANY MEDIUM BASE CANDELABRA BULB!!!.I used GE Reveal 60 white. Nice clean white light, which sets off sparkles of crystals. Also, fixture is very wide so pay attention to dimensions if you are unsure of your space limitations.
I constantly get compliments on this light! It lights up the hallway with such a beautiful sparkle and I love the individual gems on the light! An amazing purchase!
Chandelier looks great and it was easy to install.
I bought this thinking that for the price it would probably be okay- its much nicer than I expected. shines beautifully, comes fully assembled, and is just gorgeous. I love it! I want to buy another one and return a different light I bought for another area
I have not hung it up yet, but the look and the quality are well worth the money. Very very pretty :)
As an Interior Designer, I wanted to make a statement in my guest bedroom. Knowing as a Designer, this chandelier would be a bit trendy, but for the price, I could not resist giving it a try!. If I get tired of it and want to change it in the future (as I do this often!) I can without a big loss of money. it is really pretty.....and does make the statement I needed. This chandelier would be awesome in a nursery as well. Love it!!!

Nigeria fuel subsidy strike: Protests suspended
Nigeria's trade unions have suspended protests and some strikes for two days to allow more talks with officials.
The announcement comes on the fifth day of a general strike over the removal of a fuel subsidy, which has caused fuel prices and transport fares to double.
Thousands of people have taken to the streets, while several people have died in clashes with police.
A union official told the BBC the government had offered to reintroduce a small subsidy at talks on Thursday.
Nigeria Labour Congress chairman Abdul Waheed Omar said this would mean petrol would now cost 120 naira ($0.74; £0.49) a litre, down from the new price of 140 naira but still far higher than the former price of 65 naira.
He said this offer would now be put to NLC members.
Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said the government had "put an offer on the table" during "very encouraging" talks.
"Start Quote
End Quote Abdulwahed Omar NLCMonday... is going to be the mother of all crowds"
NLC official Isa Aremu told Reuters news agency that protests on Friday would be "minimal".
"We are conscious of the security situation given it is Friday and Friday is a day of prayer" for Muslims, he said.
The mass action over the fuel subsidy comes as President Goodluck Jonathan also tries to tackle a new wave of sectarian violence.
The main unions jointly announced there would be no mass rallies or protests over the weekend and flights would resume, enabling delegates to travel to the capital, Abuja, for talks.
The oil workers' unions had said they would cut oil production in Africa's biggest exporter, starting from Sunday.
As a new wave of sectarian violence hits Nigeria, the government has been unable to solve the deep historical rifts between the mainly Muslim north and the Christian-dominated south. But it seems to have unintentionally brought people together in their anger about the removal of the fuel subsidy - an unexpectedly positive consequence.
Over the last few days in Kaduna - normally one of the most volatile regions - thousands of Muslims and Christians came together wearing T-shirts and holding placards with slogans such as "Stop Fighting" and "Nigerians Unite".
When Muslims prayed, Christians formed a human chain to protect them and vice versa. Hundreds acted out a similar scene in the northern city of Kano on Monday and two days later in the capital, Abuja.
On Friday, a special prayer session is being held in Lagos with Christians and Muslims coming together.
Of course Nigeria's deep-seated divisions are not going to disappear forever, but for now at least Nigerians appear to be speaking with one voice and forging unusually strong bonds.
Lamido Sanusi, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, who has backed the subsidy removal, told Reuters the strike was costing the economy more than $600m (£391m) a day.
"We want to make sure that [on] Saturday and Sunday people - we - relax and get energised," the NLC head told a rally in Abuja.
If the government does not reverse its decision to the cut the subsidy over the weekend, the strike would resume, he warned.
"We are going to come out on Monday very strong. It is going to be the mother of all crowds."
Oil accounts for some 80% of Nigeria's state revenues but after years of corruption and mismanagement, it has hardly any capacity to refine crude oil into fuel, which has to be imported.
The government has promised to use the $8bn it spends each year on the subsidy to improve schools, health care and electricity supply.
But many poor Nigerians fear it will just end up in officials' pockets, while they see cheap fuel as the only benefit they get from their country's oil wealth.
Last month, the government released a list of the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy, who included some of Nigeria's richest people - the owners of fuel-importing firms.
Nigeria's fuel prices
- Previous price in petrol stations: $0.40/ litre
- New price in petrol stations: $0.86
- Previous black market price: $0.62
- New black market price: $1.23
- Annual cost to government of subsidy: $8bn
The industrial unrest in Nigeria - along with the increasing threat of an embargo on Iranian fuel exports - has led to a rise in international oil prices.
While the strike this week has paralysed the country and brought tens of thousands onto the streets, oil workers had not yet moved to halt output of crude.
Some analysts have suggested the unions would not be able to halt production, but the authorities have expressed concern about the prospect.
Presidency sources told Reuters that both sides in the negotiations may have to agree on a temporary fixed price for petrol.
Nigerians are heavy users of fuel, not just for cars but to power generators that many households and businesses use to cope with the country's erratic electricity supply.

Welcome to New Columbia!
"This has always been home."
Our Roots
We believe that by providing opportunities for residents, they can be successful. Living in a unique community can allow people to engage with each other, learn and appreciate what they have, and what they have to offer.
We believe that we are "Building Community Together," and working with one another to create a positive environment.
To learn more about what we believe, check out the other tabs in the Our Roots section: building community, history, sustainability, community partners, community campus, residents, success stories.
From Columbia Villa to New Columbia
Columbia Villa was built in North Portland in 1942 as housing for World War II shipyard workers. After the war, it became a public housing site, with 462 housing units in barracks-style buildings scattered over 82 acres. Over the years, the aging buildings and inadequate infrastructure fell woefully short of modern building standards in virtually all areas. In addition, Columbia Villa's 1,300 low-income residents were physically, socially and economically isolated from the community.
In 1993, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) created the HOPE VI program, which offered grants to reconstruct aging public housing sites into new, mixed-income communities. Home Forward applied for and was awarded a $35 million grant in 2001, which was supplemented with funding from multiple other sources into a project total of $151 million.
In addition, the agency led the development of the Community Campus at New Columbia, a $20.2 million project that is anchored by a new public elementary school (Rosa Parks School), and Boys & Girls Club and includes a new wing for the City-owned recreation center (University Park Community Center).
New Columbia
The vision for New Columbia was to create a vibrant new neighborhood with a mix of housing types affordable to people at all income levels. New Columbia includes the following features:
- 854 housing units, including public housing, affordable rentals, senior housing, and both market rate and affordable homes for sale.
- A mix of residents, representing a variety of cultures, age groups, and income levels.
- A community-friendly design, with front porches, parks and public spaces.
- A new street grid that provides easy circulation within New Columbia and connects the community to the rest of the Portsmouth neighborhood.
- A Main Street that offers a variety of recreational, cultural and educational opportunities both for New Columbia residents and the surrounding neighborhood.

By Ron Brown
YREKA, Calif. — Voters in Northern California headed to the polls Tuesday to vote on local measures and candidates. In Siskiyou County, Dunsmuir is seeking money to run its library. But it turns out one of the most interesting ballot items are in Yreka.
Voters arrived at the Miner's Inn Convention Center in Yreka at a slow and steady pace for the California Primary. In addition to statewide issues and candidates, several local issues are attracting voter attention.
"I want to see people who are constitutionalists enforce the constitution, and bring our country back. I think it's lost," says voter Ron.
"I just think overall voting is important and taking the opportunity every chance to vote," says another voter, Jerry. "And make sure that you're part of the solution and not the problem."
While most of those NewsWatch12 talked to today say they would be coming to cast their ballot regardless of what was on the ballot, for voters in Yreka, the big thing seems to be whether residents can have chickens in your back yard.
"I think what most of the people want to, in Yreka, want to vote on and make sure they have their voice heard," says local resident Marsha.
"The chicken issue, for me, it centers around private property rights and really, government interference," states Yreka Councilman Bryan Foster.
"We're all working on whether we want chicken in the backyards of our community, and I'm voting yes for that, because I think they aren't a nuisance," says LeAnne. "And our neighbors have them and, the chickens are very quiet and never hear them."
The ordinance would allow up to six hens, but no roosters. It's similar to an issue debated in Ashland earlier this year. In Yreka and Fort Jones, voters are electing city council members as well as city clerks and treasurer. In Montague, three full-term council positions are being decided, and one "short term" council post.

If anyone wondered why the GOP-led Legislature reduced the number of in-person early-voting days in Florida, Saturday told you everything you needed to know.
Democrats turned out in force, casting about 49 percent of the roughly 300,000 votes in just 12 hours across the state. Republicans cast 35 percent of the in-person ballots.
Republicans prefer to vote by absentee ballots, which are typically mailed in. The GOP led Democrats by a whopping 66,000 ballots cast on Saturday. Democratic early voting cut that lead by 60 percent in a single day.
All told, 1.6 million Floridians had voted by Sunday morning.
And by Monday morning, when the previous day's vote tallies are released, that number will grow by the hundreds of thousands. And there's a chance Democrats could surpass Republicans in pre-Election Day ballots cast.
Sunday was a big day to get out the Democratic base — the black vote — as part of a "Souls to the Polls" rally. This was the only day available for after-church weekend voting because the Legislature eliminated early voting on the Sunday before Election Day.
"They've cut back the time, but they can't cut back the line," said the Rev. Al Sharpton, an MSNBC host and founder of the National Action Network, who stumped in South Florida this weekend.
"The lines are longer," Sharpton said. "And they may be stronger."
But the evidence of the longer, stronger lines also conflicts with a talking point from liberals: That the Legislature engaged in "voter suppression" by reducing the number of early-voting days from 14 to eight.
Before 2002, there was no early in-person voting at all. Since then, the Legislature has also expanded chances to cast absentee ballots in Florida. Absentee-ballot voting has gone on for almost a month. It's easy to request and get one. Almost too easy.
So there's plenty of time for anyone to cast a ballot (unless you're a felon, which is a separate issue).
Meantime, conservatives are doing their own share of spinning.
The reduction of early voting hours was made in a package of legislative reforms designed to crack down on voter fraud. But the law didn't touch absentee-ballot voting, which is the easiest way to commit voter fraud (and it's not that easy to cast fake ballots, either, especially on a significant scale).
The GOP dominates absentee-ballot voting in Florida. So the GOP Legislature saw little reason to harm their vote-by-mail program. And when The Miami Herald began reporting about fraud issues related to absentee ballots in August, Republicans started complaining that the news media were trying to suppress the GOP vote.
Now that in-person and mail-in ballot voting is underway, there's a wealth of new data for each side to complain and boast about.

Voter fraud? Voter suppression? Nah. Numbers show winning FL's all about ground game
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
You're trying to make a distinction between ground game and suppression but they are linked too closely to distinguish - the legislative efforts to suppress Dem votes are a key part of the GOP ground game.
See for example PA GOP Leader Turzai on PA voter ID and how it will allow Romney to win PA: http://youtu.be/EuOT1bRYdK8
And though your (falsely equivalent) headline implies that in-person voter fraud is a tactic employed by Dems just as voter suppression is employed by the GOP, you cite absolutely no evidence that in-person voter fraud actually exists, much less that it is employed as a tactic by Florida Dems.
The author if this article is in undeniable denial. This has been a concerted effort of many GOP led states to suppress the vote. If it became any more blatant it would bite you in the ass.
Jon Husted in Ohio expanding voting hours in GOP counties and contracting hours in Democratic counties...thankfully he was stopped. And in Pennsylvannia when house leader Mike Turzai announced in his infamous video stating, "Voter ID laws which will allow Mitt Romner to win Pannsylvannia." These are two of the most egregious and blatant examples.
The only reason the Democrats in Florida are coming out in droves is in spite of your effort to restrict voting. There is absolutely no valid reason to cut the number of early voting days there...none.
But there is one nefarious reason to do so.
I don't care who you Vote for,but it is everyones Constitional Right to be given the chance to Vote and everything possible should be done to assure that the right to Vote is made acessible

Since 1974, the IRL has been a collaborative effort of Catholic bishops, priests, religious and laity to foster and strengthen vocations to the consecrated life. All members of the Church can participate in the IRL's mission. As Pope St. John Paul II wrote, every Christian is responsible for the consecrated life, and for supporting vocations.
Pope Francis has declared a Year of Consecrated Life. He is urging consecrated religious to "wake up the world" by living the prophetic dimension of their vocation.
We hope you find this site helpful, whether you are just beginning to discern your calling in life, or you have lived the consecrated life for many years, or you are simply interested in seeing the consecrated life flourish once again.
Imagine authentic religious in every parish, school, convent and monastery! Become an IRL member and you can help make this happen.
We are pleased to announce the next in the 2014-2015 series of IRL regional meetings in which we continue the theme "Rejoice Always! Celebrating the Year of Consecrated Life". It takes place on Saturday, March 14, 2015, in the Kansas City area at the Franciscan Prayer Center in Independence, Missouri. Speakers include Fr. Thomas Nelson, O.Praem., Fr. Vince Huber, A.V.I., and Fr. Joseph Arsenault, S.S.A.
The IRL's national and regional meetings are always open to laity, as well as priests and religious. Click here for more details. To register, call Sr. Connie Boulch at (816) 756-1850 ext. 245, or download the flyer with registration form.
"Rejoice in the Lord Always: Celebrating the Year of Consecrated Life"
We are very pleased to announce a superb lineup of speakers for the 2015 IRL National Meeting, which will take place over the weekend of April 10-12, 2015 at the University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary in Mundelein, Illinois, northwest of Chicago. On hand will be His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke to give the Friday evening keynote address. Mother Agnes Mary Donovan, S.V., has been selected by the IRL Board to receive the 2015 Pro Fidelitate et Virtute Award. She will speak at the Friday morning Special Session for religious and other consecrated persons, and she will give the Saturday evening banquet address. Other speakers will include Rt. Rev. Austin Murphy, O.S.B., Abbot of St. Procopius Abbey, Dan Burke, Mike Aquilina and the IRL's own Sr. Beth Ann Dillon, D.S.M.P. (maybe you've seen her in the "Sisterhood" docu-series on Lifetime).
The Saturday program, from 8:45 a.m. through the 4:00 p.m. Mass, will be completely free for young people ages 15 to 25 (lunch included). It's a fantastic way for them to meet and mingle with religious priests, sisters and brothers from religious communities all across the country!
More details, including downloads, are on the National Meeting page.
Pope Francis declared that a Year of Consecrated Life be celebrated throughout the world. It began on the First Sunday of Advent, November 30, 2014, and will close on the World Day of Consecrated Life, February 2, 2016.
To celebrate this special time of grace, the Institute on Religious Life has produced a special Litany in Honor of the Consecrated Life. The text is drawn from Pope St. John Paul II's historic Apostolic Exhortation, Vita Consecrata.
To obtain a free copy, call the IRL Office at 847-573-8975.

One Direction have already begun work on their second album and it seems they have taken inspiration from the ladies in their life.
Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik are all currently in relationships.
In a recent interview Louis admitted that the lads had been writing about their girlfriends during their song writing sessions.
Tomlinson has been dating model Eleanor Calder for nearly a year, Liam is dating Daniele Peazer and Zayn has been dating Little Mix's Perrie Edwards for a few months.
Asked if any of the new songs are dedicated to their girlfriends, Louis told Hollywoodlife: "Yeah we did. Well me, Liam and Harry started writing a song and then Zayn came and got involved as well.
"We're writing songs about being away from home, being away from girlfriends, that kind of thing."
One Direction are currently undertaking their first headline tour of North America.
Meanwhile, Danielle has confessed that she is slightly worried about turning 24 later this week.
She took to twitter, saying: "Not sure how I feel about turning 24 on sunday?! #foreveryoung."

Bob Iger and Chewbacca Share 'Star Wars' Selfie
The Disney chairman poses with the co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon on the Instagram feed of the space-opera property.
Disney chairman Bob Iger celebrates Star Wars Day with a particular gift for fans: what many believe may be the first selfie released from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII -- with a glimpse at the return of a much-loved character from the original trilogy.
Appearing on the official Star Wars Instagram feed Sunday, the image featured Iger standing in front of Chewbacca, with the caption "Chairman's new co-pilot. #StarWarsDay."
STORY: J.J. Abrams Offers Brief 'Star Wars' Update From London (Video)
No other information about the shot was released, but many believe that it was taken on the London set of the new movie, presumably while J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan were recording their "video selfie" message for the Internet. If so, it marks the first image of the set of Episode VII, although one lacking in identifiable details.
Also unclear is just who is standing behind Iger. Obviously, it's Chewbacca, Han Solo's partner in crime and winner of the Galactic Howling Contest three years running. But whether or not it's the Chewbacca -- by which I mean actor Peter Mayhew or even the actual costume that'll be used in the new movie -- is something that remains unconfirmed. Some things, it appears, are fated to be known only in galaxies far, far away…
