Salvadoran town finds a space for healing in art center
The tiny town of Suchitoto, El Salvador, is made up of 82 rural communities and an urban center, a cobblestoned town filled with colonial architecture.
The tiny town of Suchitoto, El Salvador, is made up of 82 rural communities and an urban center, a cobblestoned town filled with colonial architecture.
On Sunday, more than 500 people marched to Seattle's St. James Cathedral in support of Catholic nuns, reports the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in an event organized by grassroots movement I Stand with the Sisters.
Take a look at some photos I Stand with the Sisters sent NCR:
"St. Mary of Magdala would have been proud. And I think Jesus is proud," said Sr. Christine Schenk, executive director of FutureChurch, before the organization's 16th annual St. Mary of Magdala celebration Thursday in Cleveland. "The women's movement in the church is alive."
The archbishop appointed by the Vatican to have unprecedented authority over the organization representing the broad majority of U.S. women religious has spoken for the first time on his new role, saying he "gladly" accepted the appointment and sees it as an "opportunity to seek reconciliation."
Seattle Archbishop Peter Sartain, who was announced in April as "archbishop delegate" of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), speaks for the first time in an article published today by America magazine.
Publishing of Sartain's remarks comes the same day LCWR issued their first official statement regarding the Vatican move, saying it comes from a flawed process and has caused "scandal and pain throughout the church."
In his lengthy piece, written by the archbishop himself, Sartain frames the Vatican rebuke of U.S. women religious as one of a series of "inevitable conflicts and misunderstandings between religious congregations and their bishops."
About 650 people came to a prayer vigil to support Catholic sisters held Wednesday (May 30) at a Cleveland, Ohio, parish, Christine Schenk, of Catholic organization FutureChurch, tells The Cleveland Plain Dealer in this report.
"Nuns are precious to the Catholic faithful. ... They have brought zeal and creativity to the ministry," one of the attendees, the Rev. Mark Hobson, told the newspaper. "This can be threatening to people who feel things should always remain the same in the church."
Watch a report about the vigil here.
Loretto Sr. Maureen Fiedler, an NCR blogger and contributor, appeared on CBS This Morning today, the network's morning show, talking about the Vatican's criticism of the umbrella group representing the majority of U.S. women religious.
Talking with Charlie Rose and Gayle King, Fiedler gave her take on the Vatican move, saying "this is about a lot more than the Vatican versus the nuns."
In about 50 cities across the country, supporters of Catholic sisters gathered Tuesday (May 29) with candles, signs and words of gratitude for nuns during the final prayer vigil planned in May to support the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. The vigils were organized by local Catholic groups, as part of a grassroots effort led by The Nun Justice Project.

Organizers of a rally to support Catholic nuns say between 200 and 250 people gathered near the Vatican Embassy Tuesday, where they heard speeches and stories of inspiration, according to this report on the "Solidarity with Sisters" website. Two from the group then met with the papal nuncio, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano.
Who would believe it? When a group of protestors supporting the Leadership Conference of Women Religious showed up at the Vatican Embassy on Tuesday, the papal nuncio, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, welcomed some of the group into the embassy. Two people were actually invited to sit down and chat with him.
A reader emailed NCR the following article from the parish bulletin of the Blessed Trinity Catholic Church in Cleveland, Ohio. We're posting it with the permission of the author, Fr. Doug Koesel:
Many of you have asked me to comment on the recent investigation into the US nuns. Here goes. In short, the Vatican has asked for an investigation into the life of religious women in the United States. There is a concern about orthodoxy, feminism and pastoral practice. The problem with the Vatican approach is that it places the nuns squarely on the side of Jesus and the Vatican on the side of tired old men, making a last gasp to save a crumbling kingdom lost long ago for a variety of reasons.
One might say that this investigation is the direct result of the John Paul II papacy. He was suspicious of the power given to the laity after the Second Vatican Council. He disliked the American Catholic Church. Throughout his papacy he strove to wrest collegial power from episcopal conferences and return it to Rome.

Greetings from the Missouri Ozarks.Thanks much for your friendship.Take care.
Hey Girl I leave for the beach on Sunday. You have an amazing weekend, stay safe, and be good.
A young woman was pulled over for speeding. A policeman walked up to her car window, flipping open his ticket book.
She said, I bet you are going to try and sell me a ticket to the Policeman's Ball.
He replied, Policemen don't have balls.
There was a moment of silence. He then closed his book, tipped his hat, got back in his patrol car and left.
I know you are all going to miss my posts next week while I'm at the beach. I will be back soon enough to bug all of you :). Take care and be safe!!!!

Not much going on here at this time. Just wanted to stay in touch, have a pleasant day and stop in and post a message on my wall when you have time. Take care, my friend.
Hi Mickey, I was only teasing about the pool, I remember those days when I lived in an apartment complex with a pool. Have a great rest of Sunday and be safe my friend.
Needless to day, Irene was a total washout here in Frederick, Maryland. We had rain, some wind, and the gusts were supposed to be 40mph with winds between 20 to 30 mph. Well, weather guy, our winds are usually 20 to 30mph on a good day.
I heard two interesting quotes on Fox News this morning one was "The moron from the Red Cross being interviewed on Fox News told people to make sure they check 3 times to make sure their generator is outside" and the other was from one of the reporters outside of a casino in Atlantic City: The casino's in Atlantic City were closed on Friday because of the storm. The reporter from Fox News this morning said he was in a casino last and no one was in the casino......duh it was closed brainiac". Sorry the lack of common sense of some of these so-called "educated" people drives me nuts.
Now that I have that out of my system, y'all have a great week, try to stay dry.

This I Believe Rhode Island
5:58 pm
Tue October 30, 2012
By JAN KEOUGH
RIPR – Mindfulness. For some this is a cliche designed for the modern age, bandied about much too casually. Perhaps the word mindfulness conjures up images of pensive acquaintances, eyes closed, sitting in yoga poses. For others mindfulness has much broader meaning, including paying close, moment-to-moment attention, with real intention, to our daily tasks and interactions with others. For Jan Keough mindfulness has come into her life in ways that are not at all trite and that are deeply, deeply personal.
Jan Keough is a co-founder of the Origami Poems Project - Rhode Island's worldwide free poetry adventure that helps the world one Origami-folded, micro-chapbook at a time. Keough lives in Cumberland with her musician-husband, Kevin, and their two very poetic mini-schnauzers.

I want to thank you for continuing to check on Harry's facebook page and here on the Help Find Harry page. This past week I listened in to a conference held at the US Embassy in Mexico City at which the Vice Consul of the French Embassy, the Director of American Citizen Services at the American Embassy, the FBI point person and our Private Investigator were present. I also received a report from the Private Investigator following his meeting with the coordinator of the investigation by the Mexican Government. Every single person at Thursday's and Friday's meetings agreed that it is critical to get the Procuraduría General de la República (PGR) of Mexico committed to Harry's case. This is the equivalent of the United States Attorney General's office. The Procuraduría has vital contacts which, if mobilized, will enable the investigation to take a quantum leap forward. They are aware of Harry but Harry's case is one of many in a huge case load and it is no longer new news. They have left information gathering about Harry to state governments and the state governments have tossed responsibility for the investigation around like a frisbee since there have been reports (some of which surely were fabricated) of Harry in three states. We can, with your help, get the PGR to put the forces in motion which will bring us news of Harry. Our NY State Senators Gillibrand and Schumer and Congressman Eliot Engel have been helping but they need new numbers to make this happen. If we again write our Senators and our Congressmen and also Senator Robert Menendez, the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and ask them to put pressure on the Mexican Government's PGR to commit to Finding Harry, this can happen. I will, with help, draft letters which you can send to the appropriate people in the appropriate places to make this happen. I should have them posted here within a day, two days at the most. Let me stress that the reason the State Department is working with us is because of your interest and support since Harry first went missing. You can see the numbers on the Help FindHarry facebook page. What you can't see is that there have been close to 600,000 hits on the US Embassy facebook page and twitter feed links to Harry. I wish it had not taken so long to figure out what the appropriate next steps are. I thank you for your patience and continued interest. Harry loves the warm weather. Spring arrives this week. This is the perfect time to find him. Please let us know you'll help. And in the meantime, LIVE YOUR LIFE! And may you love the life you live. All good wishes to you and those you love.

Jim French (cowboy)
Jim French was a New Mexican cowboy.
Out of all Regulators, French remains the most mysterious. Not much is known about him, such as where he came from or how he came to work for John Tunstall. He was known to be a large, powerful man, variously reported to be either half-Indian or half-black. Called either "Big Jim" or "Frenchy", he was a key participant in the Lincoln County War.
French was present at all the key events of the Regulators during the war, including the Blackwater killings of William Morton, Frank Baker, and William McCloskey on March 9, 1878. After the shooting of Sheriff William Brady on April 1, 1878 in Lincoln (when French and five partners riddled Brady and a deputy with rifle slugs), he and Billy the Kid broke from cover and ran to Brady's body, ostensibly to get his arrest warrant for Alexander McSween. A deputy who survived the shooting, Billy Matthews, opened fire. His shot wounded both men, French so seriously he couldn't travel, hiding out under a friend's floor for a day until the Regulators smuggled him out of town. Just three days later, Jim French was present with his pals at Blazer's Mills for the gunfight against Buckshot Roberts, when Regulator captain Richard M. Brewer was killed.
When the Regulators were trapped in Lincoln in July 1878, French was trapped along with McSween and Billy the Kid in the burning McSween house. Through the five-day ordeal, Big Jim remained volatile and dangerous; during a shouted parlay when their surrounders demanded to see the deputized Regulators' arrest warrants for rival James Dolan, French yelled back, "Our warrants are in our guns, you cock-sucking sonsabitches!" When the house was finally set afire on July 19, French and Billy the Kid led the Regulators out the rear door and escaped while several of their friends, including McSween, were gunned down in the backyard. By the fall of 1878, the war had ended and the Regulators split up, and Jim French left New Mexico, later writing a friend from his new home near Keota, Oklahoma.
French was rumored to have been killed back in Lincoln County, New Mexico in a quarrel over stolen cattle on June 21, 1879, but this seems unlikely. Others say he went to South America. A man named Jim French was killed on February 6, 1895 while trying to rob a store in Catoosa, Oklahoma, but there is no concrete evidence to indicate that this man was the Jim French of the Lincoln County War. Fellow Regulator George Coe stated in 1927 that French had been shot in Oklahoma "about three years ago." Jim French's fate remains just as much a mystery as his origins.
Other media[edit]
In the film Young Guns II, Jim French was combined with fellow Regulator Henry Brown, and presented as a composite named Henry French. Timid and clumsy, the film's portrayal of French, by actor Alan Ruck bears little actual resemblance to either outlaw.

Someone at Summerfest seriously underestimated the size of the Hanson fan base. The brotherly band largely, and incorrectly, classified as the one-hit wonder behind 1997 earworm "MMMBop," was designated to one of the Big Gig's smaller stages, the Potawatomi Bingo Casino Stage & Pavilion, for its Sunday headlining set.
Even with people standing on top of each other on benches and picnic tables, fans still spilled out into the main drag.
It was fitting that Hanson, celebrating its 20th anniversary, kicked things off with "Shout It Out": This was one loud, excited crowd, showing its appreciation with ear-splitting screams, clap-alongs, fist pumps and singing ("There are beautiful voices here," lead singer and pianist Taylor Hanson told the crowd). The band seemed just as excited to be there: Taylor and drummer Zac were all smiles, while guitarist Isaac sported some dark shades during the Motown-indebted "Thinking 'bout Somethin.' "
- Piet Levy, Special to the Journal Sentinel
Squeeze was never a big commercial force in the States. Back in its new wave heyday, the band was a two-hit wonder in the U.S., and neither of those tunes broke the top 10.
But modest commercial fortunes didn't negate the bright lyrics and bouncy verve of the songs. The band has had a lot of turnover over the years, but the two constants have been Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, who brought the 2012 edition of Squeeze to the Briggs & Stratton Big Backyard on Sunday. Neither man is readily recognizable from his youth. Difford looks sort of like Johnny Galecki's dad, and Tilbrook sports a long, skinny and somewhat disconcerting beard.
The advantage of not having many hits is you're free to roam in the set list, but Sunday's show relied on oldies such as "Is That Love," "Take Me I'm Yours," "Up the Junction" and "Goodbye Girl." Individually those tunes remain fun, but collectively they start to blur together. It came as a substantial relief when they got around to "Melody Motel," the kind of old-fashioned raver that Rockpile might have cut in the '70s.
- Dave Tianen, Special to the Journal Sentinel
La India & Tito Rojas
Salsa fans have been so patient, enduring 11 days of practically every genre under the sun performed at Summerfest in one way or another: Every genre that is, except the one they love. But the wait was well worth it Sunday when two salsa stars, Tito Rojas and La India, graced the Harley-Davidson Roadhouse.
Rojas and his 14-piece band, a tight ensemble with plenty of brass and percussion power, bowed first; handfuls of couples danced beautifully together to the rhythms, while a couple of Puerto Rican flags (both Rojas and La India are from the island) waved in the crowd.
After a short break, La India, also known as "La Princesa de la Salsa," took the stage with 11 supporting musicians, and with that initial burst of powerful vocals, made up for any momentum lost during the 30-minute set change. It didn't matter whether you understood what she was singing; the voice was stunning.
- Piet Levy
Ducky & the Vintage
"I'm going to seduce you," Matt Ryan Schmohl, a.k.a. Ducky Duke, moaned before performing solo Sunday evening at the U.S. Cellular Connection Stage. But it didn't quite turn out that way. (Admittedly, the odds of someone named Ducky Duke seducing anyone were going to be pretty slim.) As Ducky and his band, the Vintage, from Harrisburg, Pa., went through a technically proficient but forgettable set of blues-inspired rock tunes - including not-so-original originals such as "Vultures" from the group's 2012 EP "Flowers" - the crowd stayed firmly planted in their seats, with most folks talking among themselves, eating or batting around a beach ball.
To Ducky's credit, there was the occasional nodding head and polite applause between songs, and he has a cool enough voice. But his set was an anticlimactic finish for this year's Emerging Artist Series at Summerfest.

Seattle with only 1 connection to past Super Bowl
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Marquand Manuel took a step back. All he wanted to do was watch the celebration.
Eight years ago, Manuel — then a safety for Seattle — was joyous on the field after the Seahawks reached their first Super Bowl by beating the Carolina Panthers in the NFC title game.
So when the Seahawks were back celebrating again two Sunday's ago after beating San Francisco, the enjoyment for Manuel was just in watching.
"The easiest thing is to make sure the guys cherish the moment," said Manuel, now an assistant defensive coach for the Seahawks on Pete Carroll's staff. "It's not about what you did yesterday, it's about what you did today."
Manuel has a unique distinction as Sunday's Super Bowl against Denver approaches. Manuel is the only player or coach who was on Seattle's only other Super Bowl team that lost to Pittsburgh 21-10 in Detroit in February 2006.
And for Manuel there is a feeling of coming full circle because the other time he went to the Super Bowl with Seattle, he was left watching and not by choice.
"I never got hurt," Manuel said. "And it happened."
It was midway through the second quarter when Manuel was injured tackling Pittsburgh's Hines Ward on an 18-yard, end-around run. Manuel appeared to get tangled up with equipment beyond the sideline boundary at the end of his tackle.
That left former practice squad player Etric Pruitt as Seattle's free safety for the final 2½ quarters. Pruitt, then in his second season from Southern Mississippi, was signed to the active roster in November that season and had played in 11 career games. And Manuel knew immediately after Willie Parker raced 75 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter to give Pittsburgh a 14-3 lead that Seattle was in trouble.
"I get hurt 8 minutes into the second quarter on a fluke play that I've made a million times and I'm not able to come back. (The) 75-yard run doesn't happen. The halfback pass never happens. Now you're talking about a 14-10 game which is totally different. Now it's a slugfest and the best team wins and I would have put money on our offense to score points," Manuel said. "From that standpoint it always sat with me. It always sat with me that if I ever had the opportunity; and that's what I try and instill to the players is take advantage of it because it's been eight years and I'm just getting back and it's not promised to anybody."
Manuel had gotten a chance to start that season after Ken Hamlin was lost for the season because of head injuries sustained during a fight outside a Seattle nightclub in October. But the ending in the Super Bowl was also Manuel's ending in Seattle. He went on to play for Green Bay, Carolina, Denver and Detroit before retiring after the 2009 season.
Coaching had always been a thought — his nickname in the locker room was coach — but what happened in the Super Bowl crystalized that Manuel wanted to help instruct the next generation of players.

The Loomis and Hampton books should keep you busy for the next couple of years...

when you are using those books use them until you can draw the images exactly like they are in the book. Its good to first read the books all the way through without copying any thing and then go back and reread and copy each page over and over until you understand what is being written and you can draw things as well as the authors. It will take years to do. Mix that with drawing from life daily.

ahh ok thank you the advice
September 1st, 2013 #5
^What dpaint said is the way to go.
Michael Hampton's and Vilppu's approaches are very similiar so you're good to go with the two books you already have.
Would love to see you open a sketchbook as well.

South of the park there is a big structure about 5 stories high, 4 of the stories open steel beams holding communication equipment, and the little hunting birds like to roost there as well as on telephone poles and in the trees. All the positions give them a great view of the area. They are very pretty small birds that look quite fierce at the same time. I've been seeing them at sunrise for about ten days now.
In Washington Middle School Park, at Park and 10th SW, downtown, Sunday, May 18: saw and photographed a pair of Stellar Jays. They sounded grouchy but I bet they liked all the trees. I heard Robin giving warnings, then heard, saw and photographed the reason: a young looking (sharp-shinned?) hawk. Also further north I saw a huge crow (it honked instead of cawing) being harassed in flight by Kingbirds and later a hawk. Crow tried to hide among much smaller pigeons; no luck there. Monday, same park, hawk still there. The big trees may offer nesting opportunities. Bush tits seen inspecting trees on Lead east of 8th.
Great work, Sumac! Keep contributing :D
Oops sorry! I am still learning digital arts1 I know the eagle is not a woodpecker -I will try again.
I have 2 Cassin's finches who have taken over my hummingbird feeder! I also am getting a beautiful Bullock's? oriole, a Scott's oriole one time, and Black-chinned and Broad tailed hummingbirds. In my yard-Gambel's quail,Crissal thrashers,once a Yellow-rumped warbler, Great tailed grackles in the AZ cypresses, and many more(in Rio Rancho.)
Saw lots of swallows this morning (May 9) on UNM Campus. These flattish, aerodynamic black birds with candy-orange breasts were hanging around the Duck Pond and the Mall (that further south becomes Yale Avenue). They were perching on a large, square concrete sculpture at the north end of the mall, and had built a mud-and-straw nest in an inside corner of a covered walk way of a gray building on the east side of the mall. They were all quite chatty and active. Seeing them explains why I saw them last year one early summer morning behind the Frontier where they were grabbing bugs/moths out of mid air. I didn't see any Kingbirds in that area, though, too much competition for the flying bugs, I guess, but Kingbirds are easy to see downtown.
April 18, 2014--saw my first Kingbird of Spring. On phone wire on south end of lot across at 8th and Silver. Saw him again on 4/19, and another one singing in my apartment complex grounds near 6th and Lead. Sunday I saw: Western Wood Pewee (singing), Barn Swallows, male black-chinned hummingbird, probable black phoebe, heard a very loud red-winged blackbird, spotted high-in-tree warblers, and videoed maybe a hawk harassing what was maybe an osprey (both in flight far away over Tingley Beach, unhappy small bird vs. probably confused larger bird). All in under 3 hours :)
Wow! Two months early for Kingbirds! Thanks for the tip -- I'll watch for them on my walk today. I think woodpeckers (Downy, Ladderback) and similar birds (Nuthatches, Flickers) stay pretty much year round here since they eat the bugs that winter over in tree bark. I saw a young female Downy last weekend; really cool but not surprising. I've been seeing a lot of Cedar Waxwings, but my book says they winter over here, too -- I had rarely seen them until recently.
