Originally written on The Colts Authority | Last updated 10/11/12
After a huge win agains the Packers this past Sunday, the Colts will take on the circus in New York on Sunday. The Jets have had their problems in 2012, being extremely disappointing after a blowout win against Buffalo in Week 1. A lot of the problems have stemmed from the Jets most visible problem: quarterback. Mark Sanchez continues to be a terrible excuse for an NFL quarterbak, completing less than 50% of his passes for the last four weeks and throwing five interceptions in the last three weeks. Eventually, the Jets will likley turn to backup quarterback Tim Tebow, as poor as his statistical record may be. But, for this week, the Jets are sticking with Sanchez as their starter, and the Colts will certainly see more of him than they do Tebow. A big factor in who wins this game will be whether or not the Colts' defensive backs can force Sanchez to five game streak of a passer rating of under 70. A huge part of this matchup will be injuries. For the Colts, starting corne...

A story of love and adventure in an imaginary Slavic nation on the brink of historic change--the debut of a ribald and raucous new literary voice
Set in the quaint (though admittedly backward) fictional nation of Scalvusia in 1939, The Ballad of Barnabas Pierkiel follows the exploits of a young swineherd with romantic delusions of grandeur. Desperate to attract the voluptuous Roosha, the Gypsy concubine of the local boot-and-shoe magnate, Barnabas and his short-legged steed Wilhelm get embroiled in a series of scandals and misadventures, as every attempt at wooing ends in catastrophe. After the mysterious death of an important figure in the community, a witch-hunt ensues, and a stranger falls from the sky. Barnabas begins to see the terrible tide of history turning in his beloved hometown. The wonderfully eccentric supporting cast includes a priest driven mad by a fig tree, a gang of louts who taunt our reluctant hero at every turn, and a dim-witted vagabond with a goat for a wife. Even as her characters brush up against one of the darkest moments of the twentieth century, Magdalena Zyzak's humor and prose delight in the absurdities of the human animal.

The Housing Authority of Cook County also known as the HACC, is the second largest public housing authority in Illinois. The HACC is a municipal corporation that was established in 1946 to serve 108 communities, as well as unincorporated areas in suburban Cook County. The Housing Authority of Cook County administers several rent assistance programs to meet the housing needs of our rental participants. The HACC's conventional public housing program consists of over 2,100 owned units of low-income housing. The Rent Assistance Division services over 13,000 families, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities. Other programs such as our Mobility Assistance Program, Family Self-Sufficiency Program, and Home Ownership Program are designed to make a positive difference and help participants achieve independence. The HACC believes that, with the partnership of public and private resources, the goal of providing safe and desirable housing in viable communities, for all County residents can be successfully accomplished.

For the second year in a row, the HACC partnered with Operation Warm and distributed coats to children in our programs. Over 400 coats were handed out to grateful families just in time for the mid-west harsh winter weather. Children ages 4 to 16 received new winter coats in an array of colors. The HACC also distributed new and gently used clothes to residents.
In addition to receiving coats from Operation Warm, the HACC receives a generous contribution of coats from Proviso West High School and DLA Piper, as well other community partners. Each year the demand for winter coats for the children in our programs increases, highlighting the financial struggle that many families are facing. The HACC is always appreciative of partnerships that helps to improve the quality of life or ease the burden of our clients. For next year's coat drive, we hope to partner with other community members to distribute more coats to needy families. If you would like to join our mission to keep the cold at bay by providing a financial contribution to next year's coat drive, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will get right back to you!
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl, Evanston 1st Ward Alderwoman Judy Fiske, Illinois Senator Daniel Biss, and IHDA Assistant Director Christine Moran, joined the HACC's Executive Director Richard Monocchio in a much anticipated groundbreaking celebration for the renovation of the Jane R. Perlman and Victor Walchirck Apartments. Both properties are owned and operated by Evanston Senior Redevelopment, LLC, an affiliate corporation of the Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC).
This project is the first renovation in Cook County to utilize the federal Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, which allows the HACC to utilize private debt to finance the renovation of an existing public housing project. The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) provided $1,500,000 in tax credits, which will generate over $15,000,000 in equity for the project. The Cook County Bureau of Economic Development is providing $3,560,000 in federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funding to support this project. The City of Evanston is providing $150,000 in HOME dollars. The total development cost is approximately $25.7 million. All units will be set-aside for low-income senior households, and for persons with disabilities.
"I've been a long-time advocate of affordable housing, both as an Alderman and President of the Cook County Board. In these challenging times, when the demand for affordable housing far exceeds the supply, a project like this is critically important in providing a stable home for hundreds of senior citizens and people with disabilities," said Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle. "I commend the Housing Authority of Cook County and all of their partners on all of their hard work in bringing this project to fruition."
"The Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) is critical to the future of public housing. It allows us to leverage additional capital, and just as important, puts these buildings on a more solid financial footing," said Richard Monocchio, Executive Director, Housing Authority of Cook County.
Due to the continual decline in federal funding for public housing, these buildings are in need of major renovation. New enhancements include major mechanical and structural systems, such as plumbing, HVAC, and masonry. Individual apartments will also be modernized, including new floors, cabinets and appliances. Current residents will continue to live in the building while their units are renovated. The project is scheduled to be completed in late 2015.
Summer 2014 is coming to an end, which means children are heading back to school or have already begun that journey and the best way for parents to help their children prepare for the new school year is by having the necessary school supplies.
From August 11th through August 15th, the HACC distributed backpacks, messenger bags, and school supplies to children ages 6 to 19. Over 300 bags filled with supplies were distributed!
We hope that every child have a successful and productive school year. Should a child need a little help with their homework, do not forget about the Homework Help line available Monday through Thursday, 5 pm to 8 pm at (312) 645-5555.
The HACC is accepting pre-applications for our public housing wait lists for one (1) bedroom units.
Wait list requirements are as follows:
- The Head of Household or Co-Head/Spouse must be 62 years of age or older for Elderly Only Sites. The Head of Household or Co-Head/Spouse must be 50 years of age or older to apply for the UFAS units and for the two bedroom units that are currently available.
- The annual income for a one-person household cannot exceed $42,600, and the income for a two-person household cannot exceed $48,650.
- Households will be required to pay rent equal up to 30% of their adjusted annual income or the flat rent applicable to the property.
HACC's senior housing communities are well maintained and offer seniors amenities such as resident libraries, community rooms with cable television, 24-hour onsite security cameras, fitness rooms, onsite laundry rooms, close proximity to pharmacies, and much more, all while remaining affordable. All HACC senior housing communities have onsite property managers, as well as resident custodians.
Additionally, we have regularly scheduled events and activities for our senior residents, which may include well being workshops, seminars, fitness classes, and much more.
To view more property amenities, download the application, view locations, or other eligibility details for the wait lists, please click here.

The HACC has been quite busy. Since the last issue of Housing Highlights, staff have started the process of relocating residents for a major construction and capital improvement project that will not only preserve current housing in Evanston, but will enhance the quality of life of more than 200 HACC residents.
Also in this issue, all HACC staff are touched by the people that we serve. However, there are three HACC employees who are touched more than some and they are our Resident Coordinators. The coordinators provide a critical link to services that residents need to improve their quality of life. See page three of the newsletter for their features and pass along their information to someone in either of the HACC's housing program who you think could use their assistance.
Most people are aware of the wealth of information that can be found on the Internet. However, there is also a dark side to the Internet and children are not the only victims of online predators. Our seniors are just as vulnerable and for that reason, we thought it was necessary to make sure that seniors are aware of the hidden dangers when they use the Internet.
Renovations, resident coordinators, and internet safety for seniors, only scratch the surface of the features in this issue of HACC's Housing Highlights. Click here to read more and we hope that you find the information useful.
The Council for Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) held its annual meeting last month, in Washington D.C., and the HACC's Executive Director spoke to attendees at the conference regarding HUD's Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program.
HACC has converted its two properties in Evanston, Jane R. Perlman Apartments, and Victor Walchirck Apartments, which house seniors and people with disabilities. Through RAD, the HACC was able to leverage other State, federal, and local resources, which will lead to a multi-million dollar renovation of the properties. The work is scheduled to begin in early 2015.
Mr. Monocchio spoke on the need to extend the RAD Program. Currently Congres has capped RAD at 60,000 units. Another 120,000 units have been sent to HUD for conversion, but cannot be acted upon until Congress acts. If extended, all 2000 units of the HACC's public housing would be converted and rehabilitated.

The HACC has been funded to restore two of our housing communities in Evanston, Illinois. The rehabilitation will entail at least $16 million worth of improvements to the Jane R. Perlman and Victor Walchirck Senior Apartments.
The award is from a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) application that the HACC submitted to Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) in August 2013. Each year, the demand for tax credit applications far exceeds the amount available for allocation; therefore, applications that are submitted must measure up to the rigorous requirements set forth by IHDA.
The awarding of the tax credits would not have been possible without the support of Illinois Governor, Pat Quinn, Cook County Board President, Toni Preckwinkle, Illinois Housing Development Authority, 9th District Congresswoman, Jan Schakowsky, 9th District Senator Daniel Biss, Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Mayor of Evanston, Elizabeth Tisdahl, and many other affordable housing advocates who lend their support in favor of the HACC's mission, which is to improve the lives of our residents.
The improvements will include structural, mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic upgrades. Individual units will be redecorated with new flooring, new fixtures, and cabinetry. By being able to to restore these buildings, it will extend the life of the properties by up to forty years, not only enhancing the lives of the current residents, but allowing those those that resides at the properties thereafter to reside in an environment that meet their needs.
We did it! On Saturday, August 24, 2013, with over 100 volunteers, KaBOOM!, Chicago Bulls, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, the HACC brought play back to childhood by building a brand new playground at the HACC's Sunrise Apartments and John Mackler Homes in Chicago Heights, IL. The build started off with remarks from Cook County Board President, Toni Preckwinkle, and was led into a warm up exercise by HACC staff. The culmination was a brand new playground six hours later, for the children in and around the Sunrise Apartments and John Mackler Homes.
To see pictures from the entire build, please visit our Facebook page here.
The Housing Authority of Cook County, along with Prairie State College, Altrusa International (Chicago's South Suburbs), and the Dr. Charles E. Gavin Foundation Women's Auxiliary, have joined together to promote literacy in communities where libraries are scarce or non-existent.
On May 7, 2013, all partners joined together to launch Little Free Library™, at the HACC's Vera Yates Homes in Ford Heights, IL, located at 1055 S. Berkley Avenue. There will be two library boxes at this location and one library boxes each at two other housing communities in the South Suburbs, of which were built by dedicated staff on our Asset Management team.
Unlike your standard library book exchange, whereas we present a library card to check out a book, with Little Free Library™, the books are free and no library card is needed. However, readers are strongly encouraged to leave a book, when they take a book.
For more information about Little Free Library™, click here.
On May 8, 2013, the Cook County Board of Commissioners, in a landmark vote to end discriminatory housing practices throughout Suburban Cook County, voted to pass the Source of Income Amendment to the Cook County Human Rights Ordinance. The amendment passed with 9 votes in favor and 6 against.
There are many misconceptions about how the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program works, particularly as it pertains to working with the Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC). "The passage of Source of Income (SOI) Protection means that the Housing Choice Voucher Program offers real choice, regardless of income or where you want to live. This measure levels the playing field. It provides equal access for all", says the HACC's Executive Director, Richard Monocchio. Over 13,000 renters in Cook County receive housing choice vouchers and over 6,000 landlords participate in the program. The HACC has made drastic improvements in the administration of the HCV Program over the past few years. If you believe that you have been discriminated against in your search for housing, please call (312) 603-1100 or click here for information on filing a complaint.

Public Housing Authorities were severely impacted by federal budget cuts in March 2013. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's budget was slashed by 5.1%. Since PHAs are funded almost exclusively by HUD, these cuts have reverberated throughout the nation. The Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC) lost $8.3 million in funding. These cuts will impact both the public housing communities owned by HACC, as well as the voucher program it administers.
More ominously, this comes on the heels of last years' $1 million cut to public housing programs nationally. HACC's share of this loss was $2 million. This year, $7 million was cut from the Housing Assistance Program (HAP), the fund used to pay landlords rent. Many housing authorities have been forced to terminate housing assistance for current voucher holders. In Cook County, that action will not have to be taken, at least at this point. However, no new vouchers will be granted to people on the waiting list, many of whom have been waiting over twelve years for assistance.
Another $1.3 million was cut from operational funds. This will impact everything from processing new tenants, remodeling vacant units, completing work orders, and personnel.
'Housing programs have been cut steadily over the past decade,' said HACC Executive Director, Richard Monocchio. Personnel and programs have been cut back over time as a result. But this year, the cuts hit like a machete. This will have a profound impact on the people we serve," said Mr. Monocchio.
Up to 700 very low income households will not receive housing vouchers as a result of these cutbacks. In addition, much needed maintenance and repairs to the existing housing will be reduced. Currently, HACC's 2,000 public housing units have nearly $100 million in unmet capital needs.
"We are committed to keeping every current resident housed," said Mr. Monocchio. "But there can be no doubt that the level of services will be impacted by these cuts, and felt by every resident."

Ducab invests Dh 100 million to modernize production line
The Dubai Cables Company (Ducab) recently modernized its factory in the Jebel Ali Free Trade Zone. The company invested Dh 100 million ($2.2 million) into a new production line and machinery imported from abroad, reported Al-Bayan.
Ducab's decision to upgrade its facilities will enable the company to manufacture high-voltage cables—up to 132 kilovolts—in addition to their already operating production line of medium and low-voltage cables.
The Ducab manufacturing plant is built on 54 hectares of land. The Factory floor space and production capacity has more than trebled since it was first constructed. Ducab's first expansion program was completed in mid-1999, at a cost of Dh 77 million.
In 1979, the Government of Dubai, with the BICC Group of the UK, established Ducab, which became the first cable manufacturing company in the UAE. Ducab is managed by BICC, an international cable manufacturer with more than 50 operations worldwide.
In 1997, the Government of Abu Dhabi with the General Industry Corporation (GIC) became the third shareholder of Ducab with shareholding structure being Government of Dubai and Government of Abu Dhabi with 35 percent each, and BICC UK holding 30 percent. — (menareport.com)

Originally written on The Hockey Guys | Last updated 12/30/11
(Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images) The yearly outdoor hockey game known as the Winter Classic has become the NHL's premier regular season event. Initially praised for its pond hockey "back to basics" appeal, the Classic is now hockey's version of a heavyweight championship fight, complete with press conference trash-talk and pre-matchup cable documentaries. It's all meant to build hype for the highest-rated regular season game on the NHL's calendar. A regular season game. Worth two points for the winner, and zero points for a regulation loser. Not an elimination game. Not even a playoff game. Strip away all the media attention, the pagentry, the alumni homecomings, and all that remains is a game. A game between the two best teams in the Atlantic Division, to be sure, but a game that has the same value as the other 81 contests on the rest of the Philadelphia Flyers' schedule. Imagine January 2nd's matchup between the Flyers and New York Rangers was being held at the Wells Farg...

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Penn Police are on the lookout for bike thieves.
According to a note sent to the University community, there's been an uptick in bike thefts over the past few weeks.
Penn Police plan to increase their patrols near the university's bike racks.
Cyclists are urged to properly secure their bikes to a rack using a U-lock, since many of the area racks are monitored by Penn Emergency Communications Center cameras.

Dear Sir/Madam, How can I combine a Retnoid creme and BHA in my routine without causing irritation? Before I started my second course I used Tretnoin 0,05 creme (PM) and 2% BHA gel (AM), but this was probably a bit too much. I got flaky through out the day. My skin will probably be not as oily in the t-zone after accutane. Unfortunately 0,025% Tretinoin is not available in Germany, I thought I could switch to Differin 0,03% to avoid dryness. Can you recommand that? How often should sb. with exfol.

…… , , , , ,……
Anonymous in a pier,
no one in sight.
My dry soul needing repair,
pagan eyes dipped in blunt air
nothing seems right.
Waters fold like requiem weeds
all prayers lost.
Raking sands of hope's dragged sails,
As blackness opens lonely nails
alone almost.
Until, a gentle drifting
of scent and time,
fireflies' gratefully rafting
on buoyant bay alighting ,
a bird tweet chime.
Delicate breeze touches me
with floral wraps.
To let praise calm my sea,
Glitters of blessings rush free
fill vacant gaps.
To seize these miracles tended
in wrapped splendor.
Thank you, small pleasures gifted
flowing with earth's brew tasted,
I surrender.
My wish to touch all hours
with God's soft tone,
on people and stray flowers.
For dark and light are showers
of grace evensong.

~Nancy Jones' Contest: Gratitude ~
How to thank you, Service men,
I have not got a clue
the hardships that you suffer
for freedom, sweet and true
Deployed, away, overseas,
the heart break you endure,
away from your own families
our safety to ensure
I can't imagine living
that way from day to day
with greatest of sincerity
I truly want to say
Your sacrifice, your honor,
courage, faith and heart
will be a shining beacon
for generations to impart
Please accept my gratitude
humble though it may be
for through your selfless sacrifice
our land shall e'er be free.
Thank you to all the men and women who serve this wonderful country!

Thank you for your comments on my poetry, Sandi
Animals have no souls,say some
But soul is just what made her come
To her human hero and show her heart
It gave the fireman quite a start
He didn't expect a response like this
To be given a great big doggy kiss
From this loving pooch with all her breath
Cos' he saved her pups from certain death
His instinct took over,he did what was right
He rescued these pups from danger and fright
But mama's gratitude he didn't expect
Her reaction was swift and direct
With sloppy wet kisses and a nuzzle
This doggy mama answered that puzzle
That animals have souls and big hearts too
They recognize kindness just like we do

I have an announcement
I am making it today
On the behalf of all
Of God's Little Children
For the Lord has yet,
Carried the day..
It is for Him that
We must pay homage
Fore it is He to which
We must pay
He has given me such
This is an awsome display
I swear that I should love Her
And consort Her
And let Him Lead the way
It is for God's Little Hand

Something for which
He is so re-sound
She is known as My
Born to my Daughter

I give them both,
To the Lord,
I give them to Him

This is my little
Hand Me down
A gift from all creation
Threw the blood of
She is just another
In the realm of reality
A boost to family relation
And Let Her New Soul
Be-seize Us...
As I give all thanks'

Fore She is with
Us now, and I can
Hardly waite
But to see Her smile :-o)'s
She is with us now
Un-till eternality
Ever-end everlasting

She has such a
Pretty smile
Such a pretty girl
One of the most precious
Things' in the whole
Wide world... 0-o)'s!...
I thank the Lord
For playing this part
Fore She too
Has place yet another
A compilation unot
My Heart...
Dare this be my pleasure
Some-thing that I shall
Never Replace..
Some-thing that can't
Be erased
A case of simple Love
Love beyond measure
Love beyond compare
Fore this is one of God's
Things' for which I
Have, right now
Drop down,
hit the ground,
you hear the sound,
your enemy bound.
Stand up,
lock and load,
be careful now,
everythings about to explode.
No sudden movements,
stay as quiet as can be,
don't give away your position,
remember, blind men cant see.
Now slowly creep forward,
toward the dangers ahead,
try not to show,
the fear and the dread.
Inside your freaking out,
as you enter enemy territory,
and this feeling cant compare,
to any classic war story.
Your hurt and sad,
you feel all alone,
but buck up young soldier,
for soon you'll be home.
It might not be,
the home were hoping for,
but heaven's nice,
and Gods waiting at the door.
So clear your head,
don't think anymore,
you'll need all your senses,
to win this war.
Helen, I love the poems you write;
They fire me up when I visit your site.
Some have been, an inspiration to me,
at a difficult time, when I've been 'all at sea'.
'Songbird' truly touched my heart;
'The Garden' kind of set me apart.
'My Prayer' brought hope in a time of need;
'Music of Life' is fine indeed.
'Resurrection' well, that lifted me up.
'Walk of Life' filled my half empty cup!
'Nature Concerto' brought a breath of fresh air.
I'm so glad your poems are for all to share!
Lord, thank you for the gifts
That you have bestowed on me
I hope I use them wisely
To bring honor unto thee
I will always praise your name
And strive to make men see
The sacrifice you made
On the Cross to set us free
Sometimes we forget to thank you
For the wonders you have wrought
And often failed to follow
The rules that you have taught
And if, in some small way
I inspire someone to pray
These gifts will be well spent
And I will die content
I have no cause for alarm
'cause I have nobody to harm
Nor have I harmed anyone and would revenge.
I'm happy 'cause I have no lurk to avenge.
I feels so amazed...
For my dad and mum have said
'Yes' to my Maze and wisdom.
I'm happy they're ready to pole my kingdom.
I am happy 'cause my fists are warm,
My mind is pure and my arm
Is willing to hug my ally
And feelings to make my foes smile.

"What is your primary
emotion today" Contest.
My anger grows like tsunami
I need to calm down as fast as it can be
I fear it is the beginning of another Katrina
My real nature is beautiful as shallow water
My heart is beating very high
I think I will lose my control
It is not a good experience
I want to relax and have peace
I need to do something very soon
let me think what can I do for that
I fear I will explode like a volcano
It may destroy other peoples lives too
I don't want to do it
I don't want to hurt anyone
I want to forgive and forget
What others done wrong to me
I looked around for real help
I didn't see anyone with a specific plan
I closed my eyes and pray for a moment
Like a miracle I feel I am being helped
Shall I forget,
He that stooped to see me climb?
Shall I forget,
He who now rests on the arms of eternity?
He was a manly man,
And even as he lieth beneath the grass,
As food for the worms,
I will forget him not,
For he was my Teacher!
Have you ever known someone so brave?
That for you and me they risk their lives
Knowing they could end up in the grave
Because they are fighting for our Country
With a willing heart to save
And please never forget all the other sacrifices they have gave
And please remember when you see our flags colors
The red, white, and blue
That we were given this chance for freedom
Because of what our military men and woman
Risking their lives for me and you
So please when you have the chance
Tell them Thank you, Thank you,
For all you do
Oh- have you ever known someone
That you look up to that is a hero in your eyes
Some one better than any comic book superman
For me that will always be my military man
He has shown me what it means to be brave
And just give all you can give even
When knowing there is a chance
that you can end up in the grave
Because you're willing to save
Oh- These men and woman who fight
For our country are just so brave
With a heart of gold they have gave
So please when you have the chance
Tell them Thank you, Thank you,
For all you do
For the workers of Today,
We salute your efforts of every day
On this day you all must get some rest
To give us all your best
I wonder how they tackle their work everyday
To themselves, what all they say
Always filled with confidence they tread
Whenever a new task lies ahead
With a motto "work is worship"
They face smilingly all odds and hardship
They help further our economy
As our country grows in trade and money
A day for them to enjoy the sun
Rather than toil and have no fun
We all thank them on this day from our heart
All year they toil and deserve atleast this REWARD.
with a quick look of an eyes, we point and convey
just as the tilt, juster a hey someone is over there, now look this way
to a suitably and noticeably hand, that gives a, come hither wave
waiting,wanting folding arm that wrap with warm embrace
saying hello
how are you?
did you know?
you mean, more to me than words could say
now in making a small and respectable repeatable whimper
to push with love and comforter
to a mental and complaining member
of your composing mathematically eye dropping
friends and family, till concern is not needed
till friendship fills the air and meets with laugh's in hand
now way good by
now look away
and clear you voice and mind
its time to start a brand new day
and may divine goodness be our defined enlightened lover
that touch our hearts and minds always...
His name is Joseph Ratzinger, the new pope Benedict XVI,
Installed as the two hundred sixty-fifth pope since foundation;
he's a staunch defender of orthodox Catholic doctrine;
he's German, an accomplished polyglot and theologian,
a good friend with sincerity and humility in every action.
He's remembered too as someone who's in opposition
to include Turkey as part of the so-called European Union,
his fear that this Muslim nation may dilute a certain culture
like Christianity in a particular continent vis-a-vis Turkey.
Born on April 16, 1927 in Markti am Inn, in Bavaria,
ordained in 1951 at the age of 24 in his own native town;
his theological studies punctuated with intelligence,
truly, a gift to the church and the whole society at large.
Cardinals from fifty-two countries who voted for him,
veered away from the traditional choice of an Italian successor,
for four hundred fifty-five years before a Polish pope,
Karol Wojtyla, known as Pope John Paul II elected in 1978.
He was fifty-eight years old when he became a pope,
while Cardinal Ratzinger was 78, the oldest pope chosen,
like Pope Clement XII in 1730, same age like his
showed strong leadership, competence and faithfulness.
Being a sovereign pontiff and Vicar of the Catholic Church,
he's very articulate in a prolific academic achievement;
a man of culture, a voice of careful reservation,
indeed, an answer to the growing darkness of culture and corruption.
I love his maiden speech, his first words as the newly elected pope,
"the Lord will help us, and Mary, his most holy mother, will
be alongside us."
tat gave me a strong impact as I carry with me that same hope
along with my desire to be faithful to the Lord in my ministry
a a priest, a humble worker in the Lord's vineyard.
As the Church in this generation faces a number of issues
so complex and ethical that enable one to be open and faithful;
to the doctrine that heralds its openness to the changing times,
a huge task for his papacy, for his governance and pedagogy.
He's the right pope for me and I vouch for his abilities,
his gifts and vision as the new pope in this century,
will continue to bring us into the splendor of God's light,
between believers and nonbelievers alike, he's our bridge;
who'll listen to the cries of the mother church and obey God's will.
Hail to our Pope Benedict XVI, first Germanic pope!
after nearly five hundred years since the pontiff was of the same background;
his pontificate is a celebration and affirmation of God's love for us,
with his unwavering leadership - a continuation, a return to earlier traditions.
the conduct that codifies the laws of human behavior and such
involves phrases that are mandatory or by your parents you will get touched
to be mannerly, to be courteous and to act like you've been raised right
to use those phrases that society deems as being polite
excuse me, pardon me and of couse may I and please
words that we learned as children and as adults should use with ease
but the most important are the words thank you
the obligatory phrase that God our Creator is due
now Jesus was on His way to a town called Galilee
when He encountered 10 men afflicted with leprosy
now Jesus was One who would meet you wherever you are
no matter how high no matter how low be you broken, whole or scarred
He came not to save the saints but to help those who needed Him more
the sinners, the sick, the hurt, the lost and those who needed a cure
so when those lepers saw Him they cried out "Lord have mercy on us this day"
Jesus replied"you are now cleansed so to the priest go on your way"
but only one man came back and said in a loud voice "Lord thank you so much"
Jesus then reflected "were not all 10 men cleansed by My healing touch"
I've got to give Him thanks is what that Samaritan felt in his heart
I've got to give Him thanks for I've been healed by the hands of God
so why did the other 9 men not give Jesus what He was due?
why did they not show Him an ounce of gratitude?
we act like God is obligated to make us happy and whole
but what people fail to understand that in this life what is their role
we've got to give God thanks because He gave us the breath of life
we've got to give God thanks even during times of heartache and strife
and comprehend that God will always deliver if we have only a mustard seed of faith
and never to forget after being delivered we need to say to His face
thank you Lord, thank you God, thank you Jesus the Christ
thank you for everything that you have done in my life
it's not an option, it's not a choice, it's and obligation that is due
for everthing that we are to Jesus we simply say Thank You

He didn't have to awake me on time
He didn't have to give me peace when I was about to lose my mind
He didn't have to cover me with his blood
He didn't have to show me in so many ways that I am loved
He didn't have to keep danger and harm away
He didn't have to make a way when I saw no way
He didn't have to provide when the money was low
He didn't have to say "Yes" when others said "No"
He didn't have to heal my body when I was sick
He didn't have to encourage me when I wanted to quit
He didn't have to give me his hand when I was about to fall in the pit
Many things he didn't have to do, but he did;
hired ranch hand
tends cattle on horseback
ignores potential risk factors

Golden pieces of beauty jump from your pen and onto your notepad.
Some time modest are your words and sometimes scantily clad.
I love to jump head first into your art and have a little something
new sink down in my heart.
Your poems I read today (and as cliche as this may sound)
they took my breath away.
You breathe life into the art of the majestic word.
They reach the one who has read and the one who has heard.
May your words spread far and first near,
touching every heart and branding every ear.
May your work one day be displayed in extravagant frames
and be known as the man that we know now, the magician of words.
Last name Fraser. First name James.
Compassionate beauty of her courageous spirit chases away blackened clouds, setting the world
Ablaze with a kaleidoscopic array of the fireworks of happiness-the graceful, awe-inspiring
Reflection of her extraordinarily passionate heart-her gentle presence the angelic colouring of magic in our greyed
Lonely world, the warmth of her touch healing the scarred, opening eyes to hope filled dreams and making hearts smile
Alive with laughter yet eternally humbled at the immeasurable blessing of having her inspiring footprints in our lives
Written for Carla Nortje,
One of the most beautiful people in our word
and a truly amazing friend.
Love Always

View of Fuji from Miho Bay
Fan-shaped prints became a popular during the Edo period. Since they were often cut and glued to fans, few of these designs have survived. Kunisada excelled at fan-shaped prints and designed works that capitalized on the unusual shape. This landscape print was completed entirely in shades of blue, a style called aizuri-e that was in vogue after the 1820s when synthetic blue pigment began being imported from Europe. Kunisada produced relatively few landscape designs during his career, and this one is particularly unusual for its avoidance of outlines.

Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
As I mentioned in one or two other threads, I met a girl at the New Year's Eve party I went to, and things are going well. Going well as far as her and I interacting, anyway.
She's a painter, or was, anyway. While she loves it, she hasn't painted anything in over a year. Things have been rough for her lately. Among other things, a back injury kept her pretty much immobile for a good chunk of last year. She only recently recovered. Because of this, she hasn't felt inspired to paint. Me being the awesome person that I am, I've decided I'm going to help her get the inspiration back and get painting again.
For my first attempt, I want to surprise her with a basic set-up she'd need and try to get her to paint something on the spot. The problem is, I've never painted artistically before, so I don't know what I'm doing:
-- What supplies do I need to buy? Paint, canvas, brushes, and an easel obviously. What kind of paint should I get and what colors? What types of brushes might she want to use? I'd like to try to get stuff that's a little better than what she has (probably pretty basic), but I don't really need high-end stuff. I'm thinking I'd like to spend $200 or less, unless I need to spend more.
-- What do I need to do to get everything ready to use? I want her to be able to just walk up and start painting. How do I get the canvas ready? That kind of stuff.
-- What do I need to do to pull this off?
I'd imagine the people at the art store can help me with a lot of this, but maybe not all of it.
Given how my last thread about trying to impress a girl went:
EDIT: About that previous thread. I told the girl involved what I was doing with the story. She said she picked up on it, through what I did was funny, and that it totally would have worked if that's what she was doing (i.e.: if she wasn't in a monogamous relationship). So, everyone who doubted me was wrong.
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
I agree with Doubty. If you buy things and then practically force her to paint you will completely put her off. Inspiration is not something you can switch on and off like a light. You are trying to force her to paint. To an artist that's almost like rape.
Go at it from a different angle:
tell her you'd like to learn how to paint and ask her for help and advice.
This way you can be sure you get the right stuff, you'll lure her into painting without being obvious and teaching you will make her feel relaxed (contrary to you forcing her hand).
You must keep in mind that inspiration can't be triggered. It comes and goes as it likes. Picture it as a wild animal. You can not force it to come to you. All you can do is invite it to stay by providing nice surroundings for it. And if you're lucky, it'll stay.
(Excuse me being so blunt, but I fear this is the only way I can make you realize what you're about to do: if you keep lacking every sense of tact and diplomacy and keep applying sheer force instead, you will never get any woman, let alone an artist. You're using a battering ram to open a crate of delicate antique china!)
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
To quote Mr. Spock, "I too agree, you should rethink your strategy."
The whole idea reminds me of the scene in The Vow when Tatum's character puts this whole studio together for McAdams' character's sculpting in attempt to do the same thing: get her back into what she used to love doing...and it ended up backfiring because she felt pressured and forced into it.
I like the idea of asking about painting yourself. Not only will you show interest (please only do this if you really do have interest...don't fake it) but it will give her a reason to get back in front of a canvas for more of a reason then because she feels obligated. Making someone feel obligated to do something for you is perhaps the one of the most unromantic things ever.
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
Ok the first thing you should do is watch Bridesmaids, specifically the scene where Chris O'Dowd's character decides to encourage kristen wiig's character to bake again...
Seriously I'm not an artist but I can imagine being presented with a blank canvas and told to paint would be the least inspiring thing ever...
Instead why not take her to inspiring places, visit galleries together, check out great architecture or visit the countryside, anywhere there are stunning views. If she has been a painter for many years she likely either has the stuff she needs, or knows where to get it (and likely knows what kind of art supplies she needs. Does she paint on canvas or board, does she paint using oil or acrylics, or is she more into chalks/pastels.)
I'm a writer, and if a girl I was dating presented me with a typewriter I wouldn't think 'Gee that's sweet', I'd think 'shit I'm dating Kathy Bates!'
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
Do you know what sorts of paints she uses? Like does she do oil , acrylic? The supplies will depend a lot based on that. And paint can get very expensive (obviously canvas can too). I don't know what the best art supply stores are by you but if you are going to get stuff from a place like Michaels, stalk the coupons and start picking up things on sale each week. I got two tabletop easels for a steal last year by doing that, nothing fancy.
I'm guessing TSQ can help you out with specifics more than I can, since I just paint every now and then for fun. But one thing to consider is that you often can't force this sort of thing. I've been wanting to paint the past few weeks because I've finally got my own place and I think it would be a great outlet to deal with stuff going on in my personal life. But I just don't feel like painting. And I would hate it if someone put an easel and canvas in front of me and wanted me to paint. It would ruin everything about it for me.
So, I'm not trying to be negative nelly, just saying that you need to consider that she might feel the same way.
Oh, one thing I did last year was this painting "class" where they just show you how to reproduce a famous painting. I mean, you don't have to do just that, and I kind of went off the path rather quickly. But you could drink at the event, there wasn't pressure to be especially creative, they provided all the materials, and I had a good time with my friend. Look around and see if there's anything like that maybe?

Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
Oh, this thread is going to be fun... Where's Gaith? I enjoyed arguing with him in the last one. We need teacake too.
For the record: I'm just going to suggest it. I'm not going to sign her up for a class myself or reanimate Salvadore Dali's corpse and hire him to give her private lessons or anything.
Hmm... no, I'll just suggest it. I may, however, decide to resurrect Dali for other purposes.
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
That's cool. It seems like you're pretty set on it so I was just trying to offer a few different pieces of advice. :)
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
Well, since you have pretty much decided your strategy, how about asking her to paint a portrait of you? That way she'd feel a bit less obliged and under pressure. And it'd at least add a remotely romantic touch to the whole affair.
You could offer to buy all the necessary ingredients (paints, canvas, brushes, paint thinner, etc) for her and ask her to give you a wishlist/shopping list. Ths way you could be certain to buy exactly what she wants.
Be warned, though: painting materials are quite expensive, particularly if she prefers oil painting ( I do that myself - you wouldn't believe the prices! 10 bucks for a 3 tablespoon tube of lead white!). It quickly sums up to $150-200 only for the materials for 1 picture.
You're lucky if she prefers watercolours - they are a good deal cheaper. Still you'd have to spend about $80 for the basics. If you go for the really good brushes, you can easily spend $20 on one.
You'd propably be cheaper off if you'd invite her to a really exclusive exhibition and dinner. And maybe she'd like that even better.
How about going to the 555 arts exhibition? (Every Wednesday from 13:00) http://www.555arts.org/event-calender/
for general info have a look at http://www.555arts.org/history/
Modern, young, fresh and avantgarde art all thrown together - this might be just the thing to inspire her and in this huge choice she is sure to find something she likes.
Or how about something classical: the Rembrandt exhibition? http://www.dia.org/calendar/exhibition.aspx?id=2306 By looking at someone else's paintings a painter can learn a lot about the painting technique used by the artist. And when does a normal person get a chance to see a Rembrandt up close?
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
How about taking her to a painting class... Painting With A Twist is a good one, and it looks like there are two in your area. I participated in one last weekend and even though I'm no artist it was fun and would be good for a date.
Of course everyone in the class is painting the same painting, so it may not allow her to be completely free to paint what she wants, but it's relatively cheap (usually $35-40) and could get her in the mood to paint again.
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
I am an artist, and I hate it when people ask (or expect!) me to create art for them on the spot. Also, not every artist is interested/comfortable in being asked to teach another to paint, so I would dismiss that idea (as you have already said that you have done). And most artists have very specific tastes in choosing paints. It is not as simple as picking out just 'a red', 'a blue', etc., or buying a paint set. Color mixing to create the colors one wishes to put on a canvas involves an artist's experience and particular tastes in choosing paints as they develop as a painter.
I'd say have a nice hike or a stroll through a museum together. That sounds like an excellent idea to me. During those strolls discussions about her art and interests could be the best inspiration for her to get back to creating again....
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
Depends on what kind of paint she uses, watercolor, acrylics, or oils. The supplies for each will be very different.
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
Do you know for sure that she doesn't still have supplies that she just isn't using?
Re: Painters: Need help impressing a girl.
I go through phases myself: I don't draw or paint at all for several months at a time, but then have a massive creative spurt 2 to 3 times per year, lasting 2 weeks to a month at a time, and during which I can produce dozens of drawings and/or paintings. Maybe she just doesn't feel like painting.

So what does it mean that it took so long? Or that the blowout came not only against the team with the worst record in the league, but also one quarterbacked by Brady Quinn, coached by Romeo Crennel, and reeling from the fallout of one of the worst experiences a football team or anyone could have, as well as first quarter injuries to its only explosive offensive threats? It at least means it's worth considering the idea that a roster that's improved as much as the Browns' has over the last two sea

Brandon Dubinsky is currently residing in John Tortorella's doghouse
Mar 2, 2012, 6:00 PM EDT
Here's what Rangers head coach John Tortorella had to say about maligned forward Brandon Dubinsky prior to tonight's game against Tampa Bay:
The penalty in question was a two-minute unsportsmanlike call Dubinsky received late in the first period of Thursday's 3-2 win over Carolina. After some pushing and shoving around the Rangers net, Dubinsky grabbed a 'Canes stick and hurled it against the glass, which led to Carolina scoring on the ensuing PP…and Tortorella benching Dubinsky for the remainder of the contest.
"I thought it was quite honestly a ridiculous penalty," Tortorella told the New York Daily News. "At a time of the season when you've got 20 games left, that we need to be working on other things as far as details than that nonsense."
Tortorella then confirmed that, if the Rangers lineup wasn't depleted by injury (captain Ryan Callahan is out with a bruised foot), Dubinsky would've been a healthy scratch.
All told, it's been a rough year for the 25-year-old. After posting a career-high in goals last season (24) and inking a four-year contract, $16.8 million deal in the summer, much was expected of Dubinsky heading into 2011-12. But he got off to an awful start — one goal over his first 31 games — and had his name thrown around incessantly in the Rick Nash trade rumors.

Theres a huge difference between having an off year, and taking horribly stupid penelties that hurt your team. There was absolutely no reason for Dubinsky to do what he did, and its really too bad the Rangers can't sit him tonight.

The guy is terrible. What a horrendous contract.
- vanchuk - Mar 2, 2012 at 10:07 PM
Bdub working his way out of the doghouse and into the yard. Potted the tying goal in the dying minutes to send the game into overtime. May not be free of the wrath of Torts, but maybe he's got a longer leash
