Ryan Dg May 15, 2009 at 11:51am
AND for $5 bucks a person that is a hell of a deal GREAT job Daemon!
Garrett Graham 4G's May 15, 2009 at 11:51am
I like the case idea also you know people are going to bring there own too
Ryan Dg May 15, 2009 at 11:51am
from what I can tell the looks good buy the numbers. here is what I see. tell me if it sound right to you.
1/2 barrel of founders = 165 beers
5 gal of oberon = 53 beers
case of bud = 24 beers
case of lite= 24 beer
30 of pbr = 30 beers
for a total of 296 beers
from what I can see 45 paid beer registrants
That accounts for 6.5 beers per person.
Good time PRICELESS!!!
Daemon Stahlin May 15, 2009 at 11:51am
alright sweet, just spoke with Tmac. 1/2 barrel voting starts now, ends tomorrow night.
Choices are
1. Founder's Red's Rye
2. Founder's Centennial IPA
I vote #1
g lane May 15, 2009 at 11:23am
no matter what you bring, it will not take us a week to drink it. i am not sure you people know what you are dealing with.
Daemon Stahlin May 15, 2009 at 11:20am
sounds reasonable. price difference would be about $65 for 3 cases, or about $55 for 3.5 cases. add in hassle and time saved and the choice is easy.
so for now, we're looking at -
1/2 barrel of founders
5 gal of oberon
case of bud
case of lite
30 of pbr
suggestions are welcome!
Ryan Dg May 15, 2009 at 11:11am
I would base it on demand but that with that type of beer there is little benift price wise to go with kegs. espesaly if you not sure your going to kill the keg. And since there is some debate on which light beer to buy. You can have more variety and more control over volume with a case purchase. and with the left overs they are still usable a week latter. with a keg the beer is crap a week latter and you will not want to Waite that long to get back your $30 deposit back. I think two cases would be safe and if I am wrong you can buy bud light across the street if you had to.
Daemon Stahlin May 15, 2009 at 10:58am
so you're just saying that instead of buying a 1/4 barrel of light beer, we should get 3 cases?
Ryan Dg May 15, 2009 at 10:46am
if your going to get a non "craft beer" I think Chris has a good point going with cans. I remember at DGLO last year the Bud Light was the last to go if at all. But the famous Todd White home brew (Sierra Nevada clone) was strictly rationed and still went quick. As a matter of fact that clone was so good it inspired me to be a home brewer myself. Disc gofers love there craft beer and for the few that do not get them a couple cases and the will be happy :) There are 82 twelve ounce beer ... more
Daemon Stahlin May 14, 2009 at 4:09pm
Scott White May 14, 2009 at 4:06pm
2nd on the PBR. This isn't Russia danny
Chris Day May 14, 2009 at 3:42pm
how many people do you think will actually drink bud/miller light? seems to me that most disc golfers are craft beer fans. i think you will get stuck with a good deal leftover on that 1/4 barrel.
maybe that's the intent, eh??? you closet bud light drinker you.
...just get a case or 30 pack of it. /shrug
Daemon Stahlin May 14, 2009 at 1:28pm
ideally we get a 1/2 of founders, 1/4 of some bud/miller light and 5gal of oberon for #13. that should put us right around target for price.
Chris Day May 14, 2009 at 1:21pm
bud light? shhhiiiiit, PBR is what you want. It's the blue ribbon beer, baby.
Tony Maccarino May 14, 2009 at 12:36pm
ok talked to the boss on the founders he doesnt know if we have 1/4 barrels but we do have 1.2 barrels he should be getting back to me later today with the pricing list of red eye and centennial... also i can get 2 mini kegs or oberon at 32 bucks and a 1/2 barrel at 122...i imagine the founders will be in the 140-150 range but ill post as soon as i know.,..

Setting up a wireless network in 13 steps
A wireless network is one that enables the connection of two or more computers together without cables involved. Here's a tip to configuring a wireless network. Such networks offer us great advantages for households and businesses, since there is no need to install cables. Wi-Fi, was available under the IEEE 802.11 standard, it has been updates, which work at diverse speeds. The Wireless Local Area Networks permit highly mobile users, allowing them to minimize wiring, using radio frequency technology. Network Features The reduction in wiring, which results in easy installation, reducing time. The radio frequencies used for communication, allows us to connect areas to which we can not reach using cabling, either by cost or location. It allows real time transmission to users. This allows great opportunities for service and productivity. Step 1: task bar We start looking for the network icon, located on the taskbar, there we know whether the machine has the power disconnected or not installed. Step2: network search When you find the icon, we right click on it and then we will get a text menu with several options, of which we select View Available Wireless Networks". Step 3: Select Network In the window of wireless networking, we must select the "choose a wireless network." Then select the "Refresh network list" with this we can see the wireless networks to which we reach. Step4: available networks After performing the third step, the window like the following image that indicates you are searching for available networks on your computer. To be able to perform the following steps. You might take a little while, but do not worry at this window you will see the result. |

Re: Setting up a wireless network in 13 steps Step 5: Configuration data As you can see it has found an available wireless network, in this case the test name is "web master" but you can give it any name you want. Then, select the connect button. Step6: key When attempting to connect to this wireless network, we asked the network key to access it, introduce it again and then select the connect button. Step7: Connection Wizard Connection wizard we attempt to connect to the net. To be completed if the network key entered is correct. |

Re: Setting up a wireless network in 13 steps Step 8: connected network If the network has been connected successfully, we will display the connection details in the next window. Step 9: Select state We returned to the taskbar by step 2 again and select again the "state". Step 10: connection speed In the Status window of the wireless network connection, shows the characteristics of the connection: state, Network, duration, speed, signal strength. Step 11: properties By selecting the properties button, will appear in the same window the network adapter that is being used and the types of network components. Step 12: Features In the tab "Wireless Networks" you can define if this connection that we will connect automatically. Also, we can add new connections, remove, or view the properties. Step 13: Advanced In the tab "Advanced" you can define the settings of the firewall or firewall, define whether the connection will be shared. I hope these tips would have served 13 steps to connect a wireless network. |

From the Publisher:
Introductions to the theory of knowledge are plentiful, but none introduce students to the most recent debates that exercise contemporary philosophers. Ian Evans and Nicholas D. Smith aim to change that. Their book guides the reader through the standard theories of knowledge while simultaneously using these as a springboard to introduce current debates. Each chapter concludes with a ?Current Trends? section pointing the reader to the best literature dominating current philosophical discussion. These include: the puzzle of reasonable disagreement; the so-called ?problem of easy knowledge?; the intellectual virtues; and new theories in the philosophy of language relating to knowledge. Chapters include discussions of skepticism, the truth condition, belief and acceptance, justification, internalism versus externalism, epistemic evaluation, and epistemic contextualism. Evans and Smith do not merely offer a review of existing theories and debates; they also offer a novel theory that takes seriously the claim that knowledge is not unique to humans. Surveying current scientific literature in animal ethology, they discover surprising sophistication and diversity in non-human cognition. In their final analysis the authors provide a unified account of knowledge that manages to respect and explain this diversity. They argue that animals know when they make appropriate use of the cognitive processes available to animals of that kind, in environments within which those processes are veridically well-adapted. Knowledge is a lively and accessible volume, ideal for undergraduate and post-graduate students. It is also set to spark debate among scholars for its novel approaches to traditional topics and its thoroughgoing commitment to naturalism. |

These Faith Fear poems are examples of Faith poems about Fear. These are the best examples of Faith Fear poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
Tell me that this fear is just paranoia in my mind, we're not straining, we're not struggling, we're not sinking, we're just fine. I'm not perfect my dearest, but damn have I tried, and I'll try harder but I know I'll have the same results every time. Do you want me all the ways that I am? With all the struggles and the tears and the clinging to your hand. I fear your getting further and Im left on the shore to stand, watching you in the distance with a bullet in my hand. Tell me all this worry, its just clutter in my mind, tell me not to worry that we're doing just fine. Cause Im scared to run you off and I feel Im falling deep. And Im so frightened of these thoughts that its getting hard to sleep. All I know is that the heart wants what it desires, because of you the match inside has turned into a fire. And I feel the broken glass thats sticking from my skin, Wondering if you'll remove the pain or push it back in. My hearts frantic wondering if you feel the same, pleading and begging for more than just a saying, but to feel and to see that im not alone, with being in this love thats overwhelming. Once I told you that we didnt have a spark, but you were lighting up and I was sitting in the dark. And this fire, this blaze its wrapped in desire. Im terrified to lose you, I think I might die or, maybe disappear from all the pieces falling out, im going crazy but when i open my mouth, nothing comes out, and I cant explain to you why I just need to hold you close, why every time you leave Im scared to let you go, why these tears are building up behind my eyes, all I know is that the heart wants what it desires and it desires to be your wife. So tell me in my panic, that your words are true, tell my my dearest what I mean to you, tell me that this paranoia is all within my mind we're not struggling, we're not sinking tell me we're just fine
Does the past really matter? Does it set you free? I'm absorbed in the sin, That is surrounding him and me. Lost in the curiosity, Cold to the touch. Drenched in the poison, With my dignity in his clutch. Feeling like I was cheated; I chose the evil instead of light. I traded in the sunshine, For what lurks in the night. I disobeyed his orders, I gave up security to be unsure. I went against the warnings, Gave into darkness instead of remaining pure. Once my bed was made of soft grass, But now it is made of stone. Was plump from all of the luscious fruit, Now I'm starving to the bone. My curse is one of circumstance. The punishment a crime, I'm stuck inside this dampened cave, For the rest of time. My world came crashing down, The grief has not subsided. My heart broke completely, When my sons collided. My misery a token, From the abandonment I earned. Upon the time spent in sorrow, There was a lesson to be learned. Have I found the moral? Only in time we shall see, For all I did was eat an apple- From the Knowledge tree.
His daddy is fighting in Iraq. His mommy is fighting tears. His brother is fighting death. He is fighting his desolation and fears. Friends are but a dream and companions are an illusion. School is a concentration camp, but he stands, though alone, in the midst of confusion. His training school is loneliness. His milestones are fears, thrust in lies. His only weapon is faith and his bullets are soft "hallelujah" cries. Strength left his fragile body and he lost the fight in life so coy, yet on his knees he conquered agony and I call him the little soldier boy.
Who walks into forever maudlin and seeking heights misplaced ? What tortured memories, would mankind wish most undone, unsung? When time's tide seeks to gather grace, with each painful thought displaced, Where fullness bursts, how happy will those emptied heart-holds be once wrung? Why waste the gift of life seeking solace with such unbridled haste.
As the trials of life come and go Accept there blessings into your soul Let them become without a doubt A model of what you're all about Don't let them get you all depressed All things in life need be addressed Let your spirit be like the wind Your unseen dearest friend As I see the lines in my face Each a reminder of certain place Do I wish they would go away? Or that my hair wasn't turning grey I have no desire to regain youth For I have learned to speak my truth When I was young I was so lost I let my soul pay the cost Running hard against the grain Using drugs to kill the pain Now I feel each and every day Use the Lord to take the pain away Do what I can accepting what I get Treasure blessings that come of it Thank the Lord through the poems I pray Use what I need give the rest away I seem to be driven by a single goal Can you feel my heart and soul? I slice them open in hopes they will bleed Something that someone might need The single fear I know so well The fear that my words will fail So once again I face my fear As I write I shed my tears Because these words are spoken true My heart belongs to all of you And through it's love I hope to show We all share a single soul A soul that is bound by love Given us by the Lord above
I'm haunted by the words you wrote Tell me what you want from me Don't tell me what I want to hear Tell me how you really feel I could be everything for you and more I'm telling you now I want more I'm telling you I want to be with you I want all of you... Do you want to be with me? Honestly? I know you're confused I'm confused too, confused by you It's okay to be scared I'm here for you, I'll hold your hand This is a risk I'm willing to take But the decision is yours to make You write of walking a straight line I'm here to tell you that now's the time Now's the time to face your fears Now's the time and I'm right here Now's the time for us to shine Come on baby, let's chase those butterflies November 30th, 2008
I never talk to you as much as I should Just to say thank you for all of your gifts I take for granted all that you've given to me Sometimes blaming you for all I have missed And when you come to me I shy away Feigning I can't see you or hear you But no matter where I look you're around me In every vivid color and shape of movement You voice beckoning in all the worldly sounds I even try to hide myself away from you Still you find me wherever I go without effort Cruel and hard or ignorant and fleeting I've been both and you lovingly embrace me Cursing you at the losses washed upon me Your hand generously gives without prejudice Gluttonously taking much more than my fill When I look back you've again filled my cup All the mistakes I have made and will make Many of them knowingly and willingly Still you offer all of your forgiveness If only I will ask as a son should his father I've broken so many of your rules a multitude of times Deceiving myself believing you wouldn't notice Still you offer me everything you have When I lay in the dark at night and examine I hope and fear you and I doubt and pray I hope you can hear me through all the other voices Although I fear you don't listen to me anymore I force myself to doubt your existence Knowing the truth unwilling to admit to it I pray…Dear God…Can you hear me?
What if age was determined By the amount of life experiences you had Would you be an old timer, seasoned Or a young naïve lad? Would you change the way you lived Or would you be satisfied? Would changes to your life be massive, Or would you seek a priest to confide? I wonder why we don't live more Not knowing when the curtain falls Instead we tread on egg-shell floors As if we plan when the bell tolls..
When I tried, I'd grab your hand Pull you close and hurt you inside When I lived, I'd bring you down There's nothing left to live for this time Funny faces, painful places Tempting lies and metaphoric races Spiteful smiles, selfish trials Losing friends within my denial When I gave, I'd take the land Sell it off and then demand If you give, I'll share the wealth But now I'm done and I see sand Trading thoughts, selling pain Despising trust unless I gain Unheard sounds, silent voices Expressing nothing and no more choices I got lost in fear but now I'm fine I fell so far and lost all time Landed on my feet and heard a rhyme I heard my breath and took in this sign Waking, feinting, coloured paintings Shivering and understating Take my mind, take my soul Circulate it all as I'm creating Words that breathe, words that show Wisdom as my eyesight grows I've seen the fall, I've felt the breeze Swam through space and shadowed trees Another death and I'll be fine My soul has finally aligned Though my body still a cage in time My spirit travels and I find I got lost in fear but now I'm fine I fell so far and lost all time Landed on my feet and heard a rhyme I heard my breath and took in this sign The world is round and so I spin I'll close my eyes and I'll begin
Shikayat Toh Sabhi Karte hai Par shikayat karoge Kab Tak Haqeeqat Ki Talaash To Sabko Hai Par Haqeeqat Talaashoge Kab Tak Jo Bhi Hai Yehi Zindagi Hai Bas Jilo Thoda Iseh Zinda Ho Jab Tak
Shall I compare thee to a winter's day? Thou art much more shrivelled and much more cold Rough winds shake the withered leaves of today. And your stomach hath too many a fold. Sometimes too hot your sister shines, And often is your grey complexion dimmed; And you always smell like my uncle's swine Except your upper lip is less well trimmed. Thy eternal summer did long since fade And lost possession of that fair thou ow'st; And Satan brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives death to eyes.
I never knew following dreams could be this lonely, But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me. If the tears will fall, let them be; I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.
A burst of white light gamma rays, overbearing a flash of brilliance burns through to my soul everything is like hell the world starts to melt in the blink of an eye just the cold blackness of night I don't care if I am not again what I once was, for at this moment I am greater now than ever before I took the path between teetering, tight roping walking right up to my right divined in my unholy state I thought I told you I am your king still you sit there, hesitating I know you hate me what does that mean? I hate just about everything still I'm chosen I did not wish before now bow down to me refuse me no more for I shall always be your demon until you accept me as your King. I don't even know you though you say we used to be best of friends, you and me the day you ditched me I remember now exactly how it played out back when we were just tiny things even back then I still was King you thought me stupid just a ruse I would laugh inside, you see? not one of you single, mean people ever even knew me in a world, mostly seen to me that is why only I can be your true King and bring forth a new source of light everlasting. As two worlds collide slowly aligned one wrapped in shadows one bathed in white evils swirling in the clouds above I'll always be the king you love to hate or despise as in your blood I thought I told you, I am the one I am the way, the way out shall be shown breathe in my spirit as it carries you away breathe in my faith it shall carry your empty space and deposit you gently on a cloud just enough higher than you've ever dreamed of for I am king now, and your in my hell your in my imagination, I'll just never tell you'll feel as though dreaming, you'll feel now if you try and see you were always found the most shared in the light cast upon me the last bright star in heaven. Denounce my name, if you may One year later, still not afraid A black sheep, a darkened spade That's just life, I'm not right I'm in the wrong, follow along Like a piper, I'll pitch a song Mesmerized, the weak wills sing I thought he told you, he's still our king.
Poem by: Mr. Ronald Watson Sep. 13, 2012 My Poetry on PoetrySoup Stinking Thinking Stinking thinking/ it leads to drinking./ What moisten the soul without an inkling?/ Unto making a wild left turn /while the right signal light were blinking./ Within a mild mix of rice, hops, and barley, Since/ it is too much laugher at a karaoke party./ How Elvis sounds like,/ a broken Bob Marley?/ Now it's as if,/ inhibitions are lowed/ Frozen in time/ and slipping far out of control./ As intuitions of minds does loathe,/ as such weariness echoes for tomorrow./ Yet,/ a stinking breath that smells just as death/ and it's where all funky asses dwells./ Though/ all hung over /and unjustified to flinging heavy heads into that porcelain king,/ Even this is a sight for red sore eyed Kings!/ It is an aftermath of ravishing through them royal purple cloth bags./ So/ afraid to admit that shallowness slowly drags!/ When,a sense of clarity which will just admit it. That stinking thinking is difficult to kick, but One day at a time, it is the only way to shine, or get fixed. Thank youMy Poetry on PoetrySoup God Bless.
To touch another soul on this journey To affirm the value of your fellowman To walk in the shoes of a man that's broken Is to walk this earth with God To wade through murky waters To be at peace amidst the storm To believe that you are truly free Is to trust in the word of God To love in spite of animosity To fear no one, but to do wrong To rise up and walk each time you fall Is to be the apple of God's eye ~*~
I was sitting on the back porch 'bout an hour after dark When I couldn't help but notice a tiny pulsing spark. I thought it was a firefly – It had that kind of glow But I'd never seen the likes of it – what it was I didn't know It flittered to and fro just like a firefly does I went into the backyard to determine what it was. Just as I approached the place I thought that it might be It flew right up and landed very close to me. Soon I realized it was no ordinary find. What happened next you won't believe – it nearly blew my mind. A Lilliputian creature stepped from this tiny craft Right then and there I was aware of questions I should ask. He must have been aware of the fear he'd caused in me. I could see my hands were shakin' -- never thought I'd be set free. His tiny voice became quite clear and in a most convincing tone He said, "My friend, be not afraid – I'm here all alone." He appeared to be confused a bit and why, I'll never know But the fear that he had fostered was about to let me go. He began to tell his story; I let out a sigh I knew I'd better listen to this little guy. Now, he was small in stature; 'bout a half inch, nothin' more – Why, I believe that he could pass through the space beneath the door. . He then began to tell me – It must sound like a dream. He was here because of some wayward sunbeam. "I race Haley's comet to the far side of the sun." He said, "The race is always over before it has begun. There is a reason for these victories, you see My good ship Omnipresence, right here in front of me." "Time and space," He said. "Are always at my command. I can do more things with them than man can understand." He said, "I spin the rings of Saturn, create firmament at will I flew a mission of atonement to a very special hill." I asked, "Do you know Jesus? He died upon that hill." He said, "When all things are settled, everybody will. I led three wise men to him that cold and wintry night The shepherds were there to witness a miraculous sight So you ask do I know Jesus? -- it fills me with such mirth -- This very craft was hidden there at the moment of His birth. I was there to hear the angels when they sang out on high. Yes, I'd say I know Jesus, That's why I'll never die." Written By John Posey 12/18/12
walked away from the sun, and into my life, im sick and tired of all you put me through, im sick and tired of your childish games, and im tired of your foolish lies, when you talk, i bleed inside, i hate your disgusting thoughts, in you stupidity flows, your the devil, and me your victim of evil plans, i hate you, why cant you understand, you put me through hell, everytime i find happiness, your the devil, and me a poor soldier, wrap all the papers, and put it in a folder, case closed!
Me a poem about my Illness I always needed someone's help… My mom was the one who I confided in and knew I could trust. I never could do the 'solo' thang but that is changing. I desire so much to become Independent in areas other than mind and thought; to be self-suffiicient by age 35. Ah but cruel reality and the twists of Fate. I have Schizophrenia a mental illness that affects my life it has to do with my brain. I may become a so-called poet, I mean I am already a semi-finalist in a Poetry Contest right? I am Creative but I sometimes wonder how successful will actually become at my goals and aspirations? I credit where I am right now to the Lord, perseverance, my mom, loved ones, NAMI and my effort(tries).
Why aren't we happy? What is it in the most of us? We are not how we should be We should be like a singing bird Who boldly, in the trees Sings his song when fear is done His life just flows along He only knows the dance of life So he just sings his song. And yet we humans live our lives Enfolded in our fears Glorifying in the sad And making this quite clear As we always speak of doom and gloom And watch it on TV And always live our lives in fear Is this the way it should be? If only each would take a look And see just what we be We never see the flowers grow Or let our hearts be free Maybe it's time to see the truth Of what this life could be If we look at life without the fear And live with mystery. 6 August 2013 @ 1908hrs.
Descending eyes piercing the starry nights Deeper yet, unto hearts of men Crossing thresholds shattered darkness Behold, the fallen angels unbeknown to sin That of weakest appetites malign As heaven's tears spilling city streets In futility cleanse what's evil-wise From beneath, us vagabonds of broken wings Empty rooms loneliness desperately Weary hearts for yearning error in love Far off stares and blank faces, harrow in oasis And inspirations forgotten, never peering up Divine light cease upon closing heart Earthly flesh feeding frenzies To another piece of faith withdrawn Humanity continues on and spirituality dies ending Some pretentious fly toward false sanctuary Never escaping whispers, persecutions within Hissings soft, but brimstone in our heads Countless fallen angels iniquitous deprivation dins "Criers" define us as the times most desperate "God, forgive us, please" hollow words that we pray "The wicked must be punished" God's eternal now and tomorrow His arms outstretched further still but, where are we today
(Spock) Captain, sensors indicate a power surge Resonating through their ship's body I'm sure I don't have to remind you They have their own Scotty (the questioning me) But where has faith brought us? As I look around I see A species not asking any questions About the infinite possibilities (the faith-based me) But that's why it's called faith Trusting in what you cannot see All things can be yours If you will just........ believe.... (the questioning me) I hear what you're saying Catchy slogans always dazzle me But once people think they're right Then there's only eternal stagnancy (Spock) And Captain don't forget our mission The beauty of opening new doors To go to those forbidden places Where no man has gone before With the sadness of lost friendship And as I look into my own eyes The damage of my faith-based fears Struggling as I say the word, "Fire" Photons rip through the hull Of this Enterprise of faith And the exaggerated look of horror Spreads across both of our face And now I consider the wreckage Of a species void of curiosity Silently content to be powerless And stare mindlessly at a TV And I wonder if all new awareness Must first go through this stage As we learn that asking questions Is not indicative to faith Captain's Personal Log, There is a sadness that comes from destroying the part of me that wants so desperately to believe in something. Yet I have found this faith always leads to a limitation of consciousness, a stagnancy of awareness that leads to a retraction of my identity, and ultimately to the most unbearable unhappiness. But now I wish to stop looking to what others want me to believe, and to look to myself. No fear of the judgments I was taught as a child. No fear of abandoning always what someone else always told me. The thrill of the stars is calling me, and I want to go where no man........ has gone before...........
Some divine light Beams upon my life Every day the same sight: A star beyond shallow sky, Would I see you if I die?
Fear The venom that rains Got you Drowning In the desert And a spirit Weak in brevity Strong but unbelieving That's what fear fed on Fear fed on you Society cuts Flying wings As to drain The courageous soul Of its hope And then People die Rich with power Power they never used That's what fear fed on Fear fed on you I see plain pain In your eyes Hurt laughing at you You're afraid To ever love again Because your past Caused you wounds So you walk agape Running In a cold escape That's what fear fed on Fear fed on you I see your dried tears Inscribed On your broken face But a determination You've been robbed of That's what fear fed on Fear fed on you So will you Forever sulk Forever your conscience bulk In a pessimist bask? Or will you Your mantle take And fear forever shake For you live dead When fear drives your head That's what fear fed on Fear fed on you
I once heard a saying, that the happiest people are the saddest Shining because they've seen the darkest Like the lotus that grows out of mud Or the rotting stump that bears a bud.. You never know what troubles the mind So be careful with words unkind The glowing person just beside you Could be a crumbling ruin behind the hairdo Most people struggle everyday Souls burdened with decay.. I guess it takes a lot of courage To act normal with that damage Hard to believe that under the surface Lives a soul with no purpose A cry for help won't be any crisper Listen to the their inner whisper..
The mistake that hurts the most is repeating that one mistake over and over again. I ask for forgiveness, I try to change. All randomly and conscious I end up doing the same. It makes me sad, it makes me depressed. After all you've done for me, this is what you get. Im asking for help, I cant do it alone. Jesus if you help me, I know things wont go wrong. I beg you help me, because its breaking my heart My feelings are being ripped apart Piece by piece, part by part.
In frozen ivory towers and burning dungeons The inescapable truth is that in the darkness Even your shadow leaves you Stare at the abyss and the void fills you Your mind trapped as you hide your black-hole heart Shadows lurking out of sight Manifestations surround you the journey of the hopeless soul Is it a lesson that must be endured To make the heart steady So that when you reach the end You truly appreciate how bad it could have been And what you're capable of So that you know that you all need Is your beating heart and nothing else Just you Believing in a dream.. Something that The darkness Can't touch.
I can hear the silence again I can take back the time to think, to feel, to just breathe. I have held out my hand to slow down time and I have floated back down to myself returned to my body for a while, you see; I am here just on loan. I dont know if I can lose myself again, lose myself to the fear of living, fear of the inevitable, fear of pain inescapable so I think I'm just gonna ride on out on this illusion wave and, you know- If you find a rock to cling to, and it breaks away suddenly, and you find another rock to cling to, and it also uproots itself as well, and you feel uneasy without solid ground you gotta just learn how to be at ease with floating till you gather the courage to fly away into the unknown and pardon my sudden departure. but the next flight is at 12 sharp and its already a quarter to midnight
If I had over 10,000 dreams You'd be the only thing my mind could see Judgment couldn't be real Succumbing to the fear of this cold life Find a way to break through The self-destruction of wordly delusions Don't tell me I've lived so long in a lovely illusion Break me down until we find a Nirvanic state Then bring me a savior from transgressions An atoning sacrifice Send down to me a messenger for me to submit to Bring me the truth to break through The delusion Bring me the messenger to explain it all And let me leave behind Sorrow's caressing the earth The caliphate stole my heart Without a will to fight But I have the Means to be free I'll try to go with the word I believe But so many stones to be thrown Stakes to burn, limbs to break Faces to hate, scorns to taste Will I have the will to die Despite all of the tears no one will cry Sorrow's caressing the earth The caliphate stole my heart Broke my will Safetefied my soul Martyr for the Unorthodox word Sorrow's caressing the earth The caliphate stole my heart Without a will to fight But I have the Means to be free I'll try to go with the word I believe But so many stones to be thrown Stakes to burn, limbs to break Faces to hate, scorns to taste Will I have the will to die Despite all of the tears no one will cry Sorrow's caressing the earth The caliphate stole my heart Broke my will Safetefied my soul Martyr for the Unorthodox word
my sanity seems to unravel like frayed shoe-laces on a rainy day I keep tripping on in the mud but when I go to tie them I find myself barefoot rooted in an unsatiable lust for something other than reality a blood-letting of sorts a scream that dies before it escapes my throat my struggle is not one of boredom or regret rather a confusing mixture of powders, pills, and mind-control and some weird state of non-commital emotion a dark ocean of something mistakenly called anti-depression I've never really been in control but I fight with a might that might surpise you and win most battles and lose most wars realizing too late that I'm the only one keeping score another day of willing the sun to stay down to allow me to drown in a dreamscape of something greater inhibit my feelings or leave me alone this is something I'll always fight alone
I went into the room cold dark and afraid When I came out I needed aide Nothing in my life was ever going to be the same The doctor put it out on the table and the odds were weighed The pain burned inside of me like a hot flame If I had another option I would gladly take the trade The rest of my life I will now have this scar I would rather be laying on a beach somewhere down south Beautiful I am not anymore by far I can hardly keep anything down by mouth I just want things back the old way When times were happy and all smiles I just don't know what too say Now I mean nothing than a few names on some medical files Make me feel beautiful and wanted again

Esch, H. (1996) Inauguration of the Arc-Heated Facility L3K. DLR-Interner Bericht. 39113-96A02, 61 S.
Full text not available from this repository.
After a construction time of four and a half years the arc-heated facility L3K became operative. During this period many technical problems had to be solved. In autumn 1995 the commissioning phase ended and the last, but very delicate hardware components were handed over to DLR. The official inauguration on November 28, 1995, was joined by representatives from industry, universities and international and national space organizations. We took this opportunity to present the results of many years' efforts to express our thanks to friends and partners for their valuable support and to win them for further fruitful cooperations. In the course of the inauguration ceremony we had the chance not only to demonstrate the operation of L3K but also to review contracts and research programs performed during the last years in our 1.4 MW-Huels type arc-heated facility L2K. Our feedback regarding all presentations and demonstrations was very positive and full of further interest. Therefore, it was decided to collect the transparencies of the different presentations in a short paper and send it to our friends and partners expressing our thanks for their interest in our work. After commissioning has been terminated work starts now to calibrate the facility to optimize tunnel operation and to provide L3K with a sophisticated measurement technique. We estimate that tests for the valuation of TPS materials may start during summer 1996. Subsequently research and development work will follow. In both areas we strive for a continuation and an extension of the cooperations with partners working in the field of material tests in high enthalpy flows.

Envox VoiceXML studio shares many of the same elements of Envox Studio. Developers will be working with a different set of audio properties to define and manage prompts and responses based on the VoiceXML standard, however. This means that the scope of packaged elements is more limited than in Envox Studio, with Envox VoiceXML Studio including more basic elements that require the developer to create specific types of database interactions or new menus.
We like the way Envox VoiceXML Studio puts element properties at hand in a separate window. Each element has a number of predefined properties. For example, the credit-card-transaction element has fields for collecting and confirming data points such as credit card numbers, ZIP codes and security codes.
Elements include common modifiable settings for assigning a confidence level for voice or touch-tone transactions. With these settings we could also define the vocabulary we expected a caller to use for a given menu item. Through the properties windows, we defined audio prompts that accessed the text-to-speech engine, as well as transaction logging.
Developers can use Envox VoiceXML Studio independent of Envox Studio to create VoiceXML 2.0-compatible files that can be used with any VoiceXML 2.0-compliant speech application platform. In addition to saving scripts in VoiceXML, Envox VoiceXML Studio generates projects as JavaScript code that can run on either Envoxs own application server or an application server such as IBMs WebSphere.

MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Monday urged Marathi filmmakers to attempt new and different kinds of themes and subjects in movies to bring back audiences to cinema halls.
Addressing a gathering of filmmakers here, Mr. Thackeray asserted that multiplexes will have to allot primetime slots to Marathi movies.
Mr. Raj said he will personally write a letter to each and every Marathi speaking person to encourage and promote Marathi cinema and drama.
"You also should attempt to be different in your treatment of subjects and bring innovative concepts. Audiences will not come to watch your movies if they look like TV serials," the MNS chief said.
"Last week, we showed them what will happen if they don't show Marathi movies," he said referring to the violent protests at theatres in Mumbai, Thane and Aurangabad.
"I am told that Marathi films are screened at 8 am, 10 am or 12 noon shows. Who will go to watch movies early morning.. be it Marathi or Hindi? Should we wake up in the morning and go to theatres immediately?" he asked.
The party would take up the issue in the winter session of the State Legislature on strict implementation of the Government Resolution (GR) about screening of Marathi films, the MNS chief said.
Several Marathi filmmakers like Mahesh Manjrekar, Prasad Oak, Raju Patil, Kedar Shinde, Kishori Shahane and Madhura Jasraj attended the meeting.
Mr. Manjrekar while speaking on the occasion felt that the need of the hour for Marathi producers was to improve the quality of cinema.
"Instead of focusing on number of films produced, it is better if we make fewer but quality movies," he said, adding new directors should be encouraged in this regard.
Viju Mane, the producer-director of the just released "Tee Ratra" (That Night), told PTI that they highlighted how the multiplexes disobey the Government Regulations (GR) on mandatory screening of Marathi films.
"They refuse to put hoardings of the film before release and give us only morning shows. So this enables them to remove our movies from their theatres giving excuse of lack of audience. Similarly, they ask for prints which would cost the producer Rs 75,000. The prints are demanded even though the multiplexes and single screens have digital screens or film projection through satellite images from companies like UFO, Scrabble and Real Image," he said.
Giving his own example, Mr. Mane said he was not allotted night shows. "'Peepli Live' got 412 shows while mine only 18. Agreed that Hindi cinema has a vast audience but Marathi should get at least 10 per cent of the shows," he said.
Actor Kishori Shahane, whose movie 'Aika Dajiba' was released last week, said it was decided at the meeting that producers should meet once every month to discuss the hardships being faced for movie release.
"Such frequent interactions within the industry would help resolve the problems," she said.
"Somebody needed to take up this issue at individual level. Since Raj Thackeray had initiated this step, let's see what happens," Ms. Shahane said.
The actor who has directed the film starring herself and Ashok Saraf said the mandatory 44 shows of each Marathi movie should be strictly implemented in Marathi speaking areas of Mumbai.
"If a Marathi movie is released in a pre-dominant non - Maharashtrian locality just for the sake of abiding by the government rule, the theatre is bound to be empty," she noted.

Smells Like Teen Spirit
Once upon a time, Wheat Ridge was the carnation-growing capital of the planet. Those sweet days have faded like a post-prom corsage, but the city continues to celebrate its floral heritage by throwing a kick-ass Carnation Festival every year. This summer's festivities will bloom like never before with the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival Teen Night on Thursday, August 18.
"It's going to be a pretty wild time," says Garret Rock, publicity coordinator for the Carnation Festival. "They're adding all these things that will probably make the older people unhappy."
Billed as the "Pitchfork Pandemonium" (though no pitchforks will be harmed), Teen Night kicks off with a Battle of the Bands, featuring ten local groups whose members range in age from fifteen to nineteen. The competition starts at 3:30 p.m. and finishes up at 9:30 p.m., just in time for ska/funk band Bop Skizzum (most recently seen at the Denver branch of the Vans Warped Tour) to take the stage at 10. The winning band will walk away with a wad of cash and billing as the opening act for the Nacho Men on the Carnation Festival's last night.
From 5:30 to 6 p.m., 303 Boards will show off their best moves, revving everyone up for the skate competition that starts at 6:30 p.m. The contest is open to any skaters who think they've got what it takes to win free gear. Then step over to the main stage at 7:40 for the Un-Fashion Show, featuring aspiring designers and their crazy concoctions.
Wheat Ridge and Lakewood high schools will square off over Ultimate Frisbee at 4:30 p.m., but late-comers can challenge their buddies to a gladiator joust, compete in a tug-of-war, or play volleyball all night long. There will even be scuba-diving lessons and a host of eating contests (pie, pizza, doughnuts and spaghetti). Just be sure to wait an hour before hitting the pool.
That's what we call flower power.

(2) Mon Apr 05 2010 15:16 Reading & Writing:
Dalton is just like his sister - he loves books. Yum.
Maggie has been very interested in writing letters, particularly her name. She learned how to draw some letters from Winnie-the-Pooh ABCs, but unfortunately, they only teach P, R, O, and E. She is very good at those ones though.
Also, the kids' passports came today. One week, door-to-door. Perhaps we didn't need to spend as much in expediting fees as for the passports themselves?
- Comments:
Posted by Sumana at Tue Apr 06 2010 06:20
So, Maggie can write "rope," "pro," "pore," "PE," "PR," and "ERP" -- all very important!I am just paranoid about passports and mail so expediting fees are totally about my own peace of mind for me. Glad everything worked out and you have them in hand!
Posted by Susie at Tue Apr 06 2010 10:24
Well, she can also write M, I, and E. Needs some help with A and G still, probably because I don't want her to get in the habit of writing her name in all caps.

The Internal Revenue Service has issued long-awaited guidance regarding the ability for participants in section 401(k), 403(b), and governmental 457(b) plans to convert balances from pre-tax and after-tax sources into Roth sources within the plan (known as "In-Plan Roth Rollovers").
Originally, participants could elect In-Plan Roth Rollover treatment only if the amounts to be rolled over were otherwise eligible to be distributed from the plan. Congress expanded these rollovers to permit the conversion of all monies held in a section 401(k), 403(b), or governmental 457(b), whether or not eligible for distribution, as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. In-Plan Roth Rollovers are elective provisions that plan sponsors may choose not to offer to plan participants.
The recent IRS guidance clarifies several issues affecting In-Plan Roth Rollovers:
Employees that wish to implement In-Plan Roth Rollovers for 2013 are permitted to do so, provided that a plan amendment setting forth the rollover provisions is adopted by December 31, 2014.

The Age of the ePatient: Not Quite There Yet
Posted By admin On July 25, 2011 @ 7:10 am In Commentary | 2 Comments
The Internet has transformed every aspect of health care. Online communities provide new forms of support for people with a thousand different medical conditions. Email has streamlined communication between stakeholders in the system. Electronic medical records and social networking sites hold a wealth of data that can be leveraged to study the effects of various treatments.
[2]The most significant advance by far though, has been the ease with which people can access information about their health. As many as 74% [3] of all people search for information about their symptoms and treatments online. Many of these information-empowered people now see physicians as guides to and interpreters of this information, a far cry from the era in which passive patients simply recounted their symptoms and relied on paternalistic physicians to act in their best interests.
There are problems with the new paradigm, just as there were with the one it replaced. In particular, online health information can be incomplete, biased, lacking for proper context or flat-out inaccurate…and not everyone can sort through these deficiencies in a way that assures they are properly informed.
A recent study [4] by Alexander van Deursen and Jan van Dijk of the University of Twente has quantified these problems. The scientists used performance tests to assess health-related Internet search and other online skills in a representative sample of the people in the Netherlands.
Their tests focused on four types of skills:
Operational-These included basic internet skills like opening a health website, saving a PDF file and adding a website to a list of "favorites."
Formal-These included navigating health-related menus and websites, and surfing a list of websites.
Finding Information-These included accessing specific information regarding medical conditions and answering specific questions like whether it is appropriate to begin a treatment after being infected with a particular germ.
Strategic-These included extracting information from different sources and making decisions based on the information. For example, "find out whether it is wise to give a 3-year-old boy Vitamin A and D."
On average, study subjects successfully completed only 73% of the operational skill tasks and 73% of the formal skill tasks. They completed only 50% of the finding information tasks. An abysmal 35% used their findings strategically.
Only 28% of the subjects successfully completed all operational skills tasks, 39% completed all formal skills tasks, 13% successfully completed all information skills tasks, and 20% completed all the strategic skill tasks. There was substantial variation in the time required to complete any particular task successfully.
According to the scientists, age and educational level were strong predictors of success with operational and formal Internet skills. In the latter case, years of Internet experience was also somewhat predictive. When it came to information finding and strategic internet skills, educational level was the most important predictor of success.
What Should We Make of This?
The study, if it can be generalized, suggests that a surprisingly large fraction of the general population lacks basic Internet skills needed to keep pace with the explosion of online health information and services. Many more, including a surprisingly large number of younger folks, have problems finding information on the Internet and using it appropriately. In the latter group for example, subjects often failed to recognize that key information was missing, that the information they encountered was biased, and that claims made on certain sites were not based on scientific evidence. More pernicious problems included a tendency to focus on finding information quickly rather than information that answers specific questions. Frequently for example, subjects visited only the top-listed links (which are often sponsored) derived from a search.
What Should We Do?
First, we need to recognize there is a problem. I am just as bullish about the potential of the Internet as the next guy, but this potential will only be reached if we implement policies and procedures that improve Internet skills for the general population. Adult education and computer classes should be made available to teach operational and formal Internet skills, especially for older folks. Similar training in information finding and strategic Internet skills are required for people of all ages. It is dangerous and often flat-out wrong to assume that, just because the Internet has become ubiquitous, people know how to use it properly.
As for the age of the empowered e-patient, this study suggests that millions of people, perhaps tens or hundreds of millions, aren't quite there yet. Even today, medical professionals must act as curators of credible information. They shouldn't assume their patients can identify and use evidence-based information from the Internet. Minimally, their job is to steer patients away from the sponsored sites and ones touting miracle cures, and towards the ones which are reliable and free from bias.

William Grips, VK and Ezhil Selvi, V and Barshilia, Harish C and Rajam, KS (2005) Effect of electroless nickel interlayer on the electrochemical behavior of single layer CrN, TiN, TiAlN coatings and nanolayered TiAlN/CrN multilayer coatings prepared by reactive dc magnetron sputtering. Electrochimica Acta, 51 (17). pp. 3461-3468.

The electrochemical behavior of single layer TiN, CrN, TiAlN and multilayer TiAlN/CrN coatings, deposited on steel substrates using a multi-target reactive direct current (dc) magnetron sputtering process, was studied in 3.5% NaCl solution. The total thickness of the coatings was about 1.5 x3BC;m. About 0.5 x3BC;m thick chromium interlayer was used to improve adhesion of the coatings. With an aim to improve the corrosion resistance, an additional interlayer of approximately 5 x3BC;m thick electroless nickel (EN) was deposited on the substrate. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to study the corrosion behavior of the coatings. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis were used to characterize the corroded samples. The potentiodynamic polarization tests showed lower corrosion current density and higher polarization resistance (Rp) for the coatings with EN interlayer. For example, the corrosion current density of TiN coated steel was decreased by a factor of 10 by incorporating 5 x3BC;m thick EN interlayer. Similarly, multilayer coatings of TiAlN/CrN with EN interlayer showed about 30 times improved corrosion resistance as compared to the multilayers without EN interlayer. The porosity values were calculated from the potentiodynamic polarization data. The Nyquist and the Bode plots obtained from the EIS data were fitted by appropriate equivalent circuits. The pore resistance (Rpore), the charge transfer resistance (Rct), the coating capacitance (Qcoat) and the double layer capacitance (Qdl) of the coatings were obtained from the equivalent circuit. Multilayer coatings showed higher Rpore and Rct values as compared to the single layer coatings. Similarly, the Qcoat and Qdl values decreased from uncoated substrate to the multilayer coatings, indicating a decrease in the defect density by the addition of EN interlayer. These studies were confirmed by examining the corroded samples under scanning electron microscopy. 13; 13;

The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is a prominent Roman Rite Catholic basilica located in Washington, D.C., United States of America, honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary as Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, the principal Patroness of the USA.
The shrine is the largest Catholic church in the United States, and the tallest habitable building in Washington, D.C.[2][3][4] Construction of this church, notable for its Neo-Byzantine architecture, began in 1920 under Philadelphia contractor John McShain. It opened unfinished in 1959. An estimated one million pilgrims visit the basilica each year.
The basilica is designated both as the national and patronal Catholic Church of the United States,[2] honoring the Virgin Mary, under the title Immaculate Conception, by which Pope Pius XI donated a mosaic of the same image in 1923. It is not the cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Washington, which is the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle.
The shrine was visited by Popes John Paul II, who designated the National Shrine as a Minor Basilica on October 12, 1990, and Benedict XVI, who bestowed the honor of a Golden Rose on the basilica.
The basilica does not have its own parish community, but serves the adjacent Catholic University of America which donated the land for its construction, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and hosts numerous Masses for various organizations of the Church from across the United States.
The basilica is on Michigan Avenue in the northeast quadrant of Washington. It is served by Brookland-CUA Metro Station on the Red Line, roughly 1640'/500m away. As of 2014[update] the rector of the shrine was the Monsignor Walter R. Rossi, who holds a Licentiate of Canon Law.
The basilica houses 70 chapels honoring Mary and reflecting the origins of the Catholic immigrants and religious orders whose generosity erected them. Its Greek-styled interior is crowned with numerous domes decorated in mosaics, similar to the Basilica of St. Mark in Venice, Italy, but much larger. The mosaics feature American renditions of traditional Catholic images. Artist Jan Henryk De Rosen, who presided over the shrine's iconography committee was also responsible for much of its decor, including composing the large mosaic over the northern apse.
The exterior of the basilica is 459 ft (140 m) long, 240 ft (73 m) wide, and 237 ft (72 m) tall to the top of the cross on the dome.[1] The diameter of the main (Trinity) dome of the basilica is only 7 feet (2.1 m) smaller than that of the dome of the United States Capitol. The shrine was built in the style of medieval churches, relying on masonry walls and columns in place of structural steel and reinforced concrete. It was designed to hold 3,500 worshipers sitting (6,000 total) and includes modern amenities such as a basement cafeteria, hidden public address speakers to carry speech at the altar to the rear of the building, air conditioning and the largest (in 1959) radiant heating slab in the world.[5]
In all, 70 chapels and sacred images flank the sides of the upper church and crypt.[6] It contains many works of art. There are arches outlined with iridescent Pewabic Pottery tile, large ceramic medallions set in the ceiling, and fourteen Stations of the Cross for the crypt.[7]
Patronage of the Immaculate Conception[edit]
In 1792 John Carroll, the bishop of Baltimore and America's first Roman Catholic bishop, consecrated the newly created United States under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of The Immaculate Conception. In 1847, the 7th Provincial Councils of Baltimore reiterated this episcopal choice to name the title Virgin Mary, conceived without sin as the principal patroness of the land, which Pope Pius IX formalized on February 7, 1847, but was not publicly proclaimed until July 2, 1847.
Construction of the shrine[edit]
Bishop Thomas Joseph Shahan, the fourth rector of The Catholic University of America in Washington, proposed the construction of a national shrine to commemorate the Immaculate Conception in the country's capital. Bishop Shahan took his appeal to Pope Pius X on August 15, 1913.[8]
Shahan received the pope's enthusiastic support and personal contribution of US$400. Shahan returned to the United States and persuaded the Board of Trustees of The Catholic University of America to donate land at the southwest corner of the campus for his shrine.
In January 1914, Shahan published the first issue of Salve Regina, a newsletter meant to stir enthusiasm for his project. He wrote that the shrine would be a "monument of love and gratitude, a great hymn in stone as perfect as the art of man can make it and as holy as the intentions of its builders could wish it to be." His newsletter was circulated to dioceses throughout the country and financial donations began to pour into Washington. In 1915 Father Bernard McKenna of Philadelphia was appointed by Shahan as first director of the national shrine. Shahan oversaw the construction of the shrine until his death on March 9, 1932. His body is the only one interred at the national shrine.
By 1919 architectural drawings were chosen by Shahan and McKenna for the construction of the national shrine by the Boston firm of Maginnis & Walsh. At first a traditional Neo-Gothic architectural style was considered, but Shahan opted instead for a Byzantine Revival-Romanesque Revival design.[9] Cardinal James Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore, blessed the foundation stone on September 23, 1920. More than 10,000 people attended the Mass, including ambassadors, government officials, and military officers. In 1929 the Great Depression halted the construction above the crypt level. The beginning of American involvement in World War II stalled plans even further.
After the war, in 1953, American bishops under the leadership of John Noll, archbishop ad personam of Fort Wayne, and Patrick O'Boyle, archbishop of Washington, pledged to raise the funds necessary to complete the upper church of the national shrine. On November 20, 1959, thousands of Catholics gathered with the bishops for the dedication of the Great Upper Church.
The crypt has displayed the Papal Tiara of Pope Paul VI since 1968. In 1990 Pope John Paul II named the national shrine as the U.S.'s 36th minor basilica. In August 2006, work was completed on a mosaic covering the Redemption Dome in the Upper Church. This is the first new work to be done in many years and was part of the original architectural plans. Following its completion in the summer of 2007, the Incarnation Dome was blessed on November 17, 2007.[10] A small chapel on the crypt level honoring Our Lady of La Vang (Vietnam) was completed in 2006.[11]
Since 1983 the Junior Chorus of Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart conducted by Mrs. Nancy Fazio, sings the Christmas Eve liturgy and carols.
In 2008, during his apostolic visit to the United States, Pope Benedict XVI bestowed the Golden Rose upon the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.[12]
In June 2011, a new chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Lebanon was erected within the basilica, commemorating the fidelity of the Maronite Church and its faithful. A mosaic of Saint Maroun and the Crucifixion was copied from the 6th-century Rabboula Maronite manuscript, and was donated by Cardinal Donald Wuerl. The chapel was formally consecrated by Maronite Bishop Gregory J. Mansour on September 23, 2011.[13]
On January 2013, the basilica held a public televised thanksgiving Mass and enshrined two first class relics of Americans Catherine Tekakwitha and Marianne Cope, recognised as saints by the Catholic Church.
