NEW CASTLE, Pa. — It can happen after someone gets behind in rent, gets out of prison to a cold reception from family, or gets sick and can't work.
If you analyzed every homeless person's situation, you might discover that there are as many reasons for being homeless as there are homeless people.
Many of them end up on the streets, long or short term, and that can be a dangerous, hard life. But in New Castle, there are people who are working to make that life easier.
At Patches Place, they've heard a lot of reasons for homelessness. That's because 90 of their 221 clients are either on the streets — they estimate about 60 — or going from couch to couch with whomever will take them in.
Patches Place, which opened in September 2007, is a drop-in center and an umbrella organization for three programs that serve mentally ill clients, not homeless people. But, as Sandi Hause, director of one of those programs, points out, many mentally ill people are homeless as well.
"We never thought homelessness would be part of our problem," Hause said. "But when the cold came, the staff would leave to go home and there would be all these people out front: 'I'm gonna sleep under a bridge,' 'I'm gonna sleep behind the bushes at Eat 'n Park' ..."
So Hause, her son Charlie, daughter Angela Hagberg, ex-daughter-in-law Vickie Thompson, and Dennis Robbins, who met Charlie Hause in a local newspaper's online forum, formed the Lawrence County Homeless Coalition.
As the winter approaches, they're taking donations of bedding, tents, rope and other items that will help people who are going to sleep outside.
For the full story, see Sunday's Vindicator or Vindy.com.
They can get a ride to the nearest polling place for a cookie and snort of brandy if they are willing to vote for Obama. That seems like a positive.
That was so out of line! You are a JACK!! You need to realize that McCain is a terrible candidate for President, and his airhead partner was the worse possible choice EVER! So get a life DOTORGONZO.
As for the article, I have gone through all my clothes to donate to those who need them. I also may have some old blankets or comforters to put in too!
Who the hell said anything about McCain? You did. I have not written one word advocating McCain this entire year, but somehow you and your below average brain have read it in my message and placed me in the gop. You are simple minded and only see and process what you think is there rather than reality. Take a small leap into traffic for me and save our society the trouble of putting up with your insolence. You are so hyped on your own self merit that you cannot even comprehend what is written. I hope you do not work with children or other people in general.
As for my comments, perhaps the snort of brandy was not researched enough, but eveything else is true. Homeless have been taxied to polling places in C-bus and Indiana, registered and given food. I am also pretty sure they were given a cash handout and I am also pretty sure who they voted for. Also, it seems to me if I were homeless and sleeping in the woods, I might take that ride, register (address and social secuirty number unknown) and vote for the guy I think is going to give me free stuff.
So take your limp brain off your soapbox and start reading what is actually in front of you. You will find life makes more sense.
The Arthur C. Brooks work, "Who Really Cares" well outlines the profile of the most generous supporters of charity.
Conservatives donate to charity more than liberals, as they believe helping others is their personal duty. Liberals are generous with other peoples money, and somehow feel that government is best able to ease suffering.
Let's look at the Presidential tickets. The Palin's gave 3.3% of their income in 2006 and 1.5% in 2007 (an average of 2.4% for the two years. This percentage is 19x more than Biden and 2.5x more than Obama (before he began his presidential run). The average American family gives about 2% of their income to charitable organizations.
Senator McCain has given 23.1% of his income toward charity, Governor Palin 2.4%, followed by Senator Obama 2.2%, and then lastly Senator Biden at 0.2% (You read that right). These percentages include ALL the giving from ALL the tax returns released by ALL the candidates. No available years were omitted.
Liberals...generous with other peoples money.
Gonzo, why are you so angry. You are going to give yourself a heart attack. I read more hate in your posts than any others. This isn't meant to put you down, but your posts get a little to personal. Peace.
Obama 08!
I am merely venting. I think that writing your thoughts out can be a nice release from the ailments I must endure being surrounded by morons.
No heart attack here, but thanks for your quasi-genuine concern.
If my posts meet your definition of "a little too personal" then perhaps you need to open yourself to reality a little more. I never use names, personal facts, or anything that pierces the veil of generalities. I don't know these people, but I can and will respond to their ideas. In my opinion some of these people should jump in front of traffic to ease the burden on the rest of us. I am quite sure these thoughts are reciprocated upon me. That's fine. It's America.
You see when people like you think messages like mine are too personal you are counter-acting the very thing you appear to support. Freedom. Here's a tip. Not everyone is nice and we cannot all be friends. Maybe I should only write nice things so I can conform to your utopian views.
Get bent. If you don't like my words don't read them, vote against them, or beg the vindy to remove them. I am sure they will oblige you on some level.
Doctor Gonzo you brought up Obama, so i just stated my points since you took cheap shots at Obama! So you say you don't state names but you did just that with saying,"
They can get a ride to the nearest polling place for a cookie and snort of brandy if they are willing to vote for Obama."
As for your comment:"Take a small leap into traffic for me and save our society the trouble of putting up with your insolence." I know that was directed towards me, so state my name instead of hiding and saying you don't put names. Be a man or woman about it not a coward! You are a very rude human being, and very ignorant. I am a very educated person, who is married with two kids. How dare you tell me to do someting like that. I don't think I am the one who needs to do that anyways. I am a good person who does right by my kids. I am all about helping out the homeless. This was directed at us, the residents, not to be put into a political debate. So can we talk about it without politics involved.
DoctorGonzo you are so negative, and you need to go get help! I am so glad not eveyone is like you cause we would live in a very cynical place! Also you can go, you know what to yourself too!
Here, here Gonzo. I'm sick of listening to people whine that free speech should be all warm and fuzzy and don't dare say anything bad! Please.
And to set the record straight, it was crack, not brandy, that homeless votes were "allegedly" (wink, wink) being bought with in the southern states.
There is no big deal about it because the Democrats are favored by the voter fraud. If there was a single case of voter fraud brought against the McCain camp the media would be in a frenzy.
And back to the point of the post... Nonsocialist, I wouldn't hold my breath for any intelligent responses to your post. You'll either be ignored or get outrageous frothing at the mouth hate rhetoric since liberals can't even concede when you present them with facts. Besides, Joe Biden is too busy hanging out at Home Depot with the guys to donate to charity.
lol, you are just sooooo funny ytown9999!!!
Actually dmets, sarcasm was where I was going... not humor.
But thanks for proving my point!
Call ACORN......they will give you anything you need if you sign up to vote for Obama multiple times! That's the new game plan around here these days!
In answer to the title to this article.....can the homeless help themselves? Yes they can, if they choose to, but most choose to let everyone else help them. I thought that was called enabling.
ytown9999 i saw the sarcasm, that's why I said you are funny. Please don't assume i read it wrong.
claylor the title tto the article is Can you help the homeless. Why not donate old clothes, and/or blankets? If you are not using them someone else can and will.
Grump, you out-Republican most Republicans when it comes to yapping about the bad old unions and other Democrat strong points. Now you're supporting the most liberal man in the Senate today? Do you LIKE paying higher taxes?
And for all you too-sensitive Obamessiah-lovers, understand this: Doctor Gonzo might have taken a shot at ACORN, but it wasn't a shot at The Annointed One. ACORN is the group that's got the Buying Votes For Obama gig going on. Why are all of you so sensitive? Could it be that, deep down, you're still at war with yourself about how you can support such an obviously unqualified individual?
How is registering poor people to vote "buying votes for Obama?" Are you saying McCain doesn't care about poor people? Shouldn't poor people be encouraged to vote? Isn't that what people mean by helping yourself out of your own problems? The old cliche You can't complain if you don't vote...
And nonsocialist, duh Repubs donate more money- THEY *HAVE* MORE MONEY! It could also be said "liberals" donate more time and energy toward social issues- because even though they may not have money, they care and want to help in other ways.
dmets, I didn't assume anything, I was being sarcastic again. But aside from the political BS in this post, I agree with you. If you have old stuff you are not using, don't throw it away! Give it to someone who can use it!
"DoctorGonzo you are so negative, and you need to go get help! I am so glad not eveyone is like you cause we would live in a very cynical place! Also you can go, you know what to yourself too!"
Very nice.
"DoctorGonzo is a closet Repuke-ican KKK racist who's out of touch with America. Why would you bring up Obama in your post if you are not?"
Even better.
Dmets- I think you should refrain from reading anything I write. It puts you in quite a tizzy and I don't want you talking to your kids with that mouth.
OldManStump - I pity your family, friends, and peers. I have no idea how you gather the audacity to say I am a member of the KKK. I am not sure how you developed any race issues with my post about the homeless either. Facts are facts.
It OK though. You want to make strong comments with no validity or substance. Here's one for you: I forsee you dying alone and stupid.
I know what I believe in and I can assure you it does not entail pledging allegiance to a political party. If you really think that's the answer then they have already won.
doctorgonzo: what is so wrong with what I said that I should not talk to my children with my mouth. I never ever swear or say anything bad in front of my children, or any children at that. As for you judging me, you don't know me. Things you say are just wrong and very negative. This was all about hepling the homeless not sitting here telling me to walk into to traffic or assume how I talk infront of my children. Stick to the subject and instead of going off on rants that have nothing to do with the topic. By the way I know I am an awesome mom, cause I am a positive thinker and don't let the opinions of people like you shake my foundation.
I think we really missed the point on this one.
First off it was never mentioned what kind of cookie.
Second we talking top shelf brandy or E&J?
"if you cant laugh about it your gonna just sit and cry"
dmets......I do donate to worthy causes, like battered women, for example, but I am not going to help out a crack addict who chooses to live under a bridge and expect me to feed him, while he will turn around and beat someone over the head to get his next fix. Get a job and help yourself.Most of us of the baby boomer generation did not have it all given to us, we had to work and go to school to get what we have, we didn't expect, or even think there would be a handout.
I'm not say to go any hand them money and/or food. I am saying give old clothing and blankets. I didn't have everything given to me either. I had to work and save to get the things I needed and wanted too! And my parent are part of the baby boom. They instilled in me good moral values, and a very strong work ethic. I never have and never will be with my hand out. I will do for myself and my family what needs to be done. I beleive most of the homeless are that by choice, and need to quit being lazy.
You honestly believe that most the homeless are homeless by choice and that they're lazy? Have you ever met any homeless people? Like talked to them longer than say 1 minute? Most of the homeless I've talked to have lost their health (many in wars fought to make the rich richer) and can't get jobs because of it. Others lost their homes in this mortgage crisis, others are hiding from their parents or exes, and yes, others have drug problems that prevent them from getting/keeping money. None of them are lazy. Walk in someone else's shoes before you judge.
OhioPerson: I personally know some people who are homeless. For those on drugs there are programs where they can go and get help. That is whether the are homeless or not. I have a close family member who lots their home with this whole mortgage crisis. So yes i do know and talk to them for longer then a minute. You ask what he did. Well since he lots his house and job, he was able to go to truck driving school, on guess who paid? The government, through grants. They actually do those kind of things for people who lose their jobs. So maybe these people need to look into it too. As for those hiding from their exes or parents. There are place who take those people in, like the beatiutde house. For those hiding from their parent, their age plays a big part, are they teen age run aways? If so go back home! I know one guy Who is homelees, by choice. He used to come in where i worked almost everyday. I would buy him a warm cup of coffee. We got to talking and he told me he knows there are places for him to go, and VA hospitals to get medical traetment. But he says that he is not a charity case and can live the life he lives all on his own. I do think most homeless are there by choice, since there are so many resoures out there for them to utilize, but there are those few that fell on very hard times, and did not make the choice to be homeless.
People who have to state and restate their level of education and how wonderful, generous and intelligent they are scare me. Its abnormal behavior...the fact that they feel the need to overcompensate typically means that none of those things are true. Note I say typically and this is just my opinion.
(Rather than being labeled a coward I should note that my comments are directed at dmets. I'd love to systematically decimate you in a series of subsequent posts but I only have a few minutes...unlike you, who seemingly have all the time in the world to debate trivial points-of-view, perhaps there were lay-offs at the think-tank.)
JeffLebowski: Nowhere in my post did i state or restate anything about my level of education. Other then the fact that i had to work and go to school for the things I needed and wanted in life. You have no idea if I have my high school diploma, a college degree or my GED. As for nothing i wrote not being true, you try to tell me my brother did not go through losing his house& job, then going to truck driving school? I know he did. You are a very condecending person, who questions someone everyday personal life experiences. As for why I am able to respond so much, I am lucky enough, even in these tough times, to not have to work. I get to be at home with my kids. And before you say anything about I should be with my kids and not on line. I am only one here when they are either at school, napping, or during their homework. As for you inflict great destruction step by step against me, go right ahead. Not like what you say matters to me. I know what i have seen, heard, and done throughtout my life. You can not take that away from me with simple words.
Here are the trends in the economy that have showed themselves over the last 70 years since FDR took us out of the depression:
Up, down, up, down, up, down etc. If you suffer from memory loss than perhaps you are excused from the lesson, but anyone who tries to blame certain administrations for economic turbulence is, well, simple minded.
Carter left the country in economic hell, Reagan brought it out and then left it in economic hell again before Bush took office. Clinton had a 10% unemployment rate during his administration? Remember that? Then the economy took off in the late 1990's and it was falling again when dubya got in. 9-11 caused the largest recession to date (re-read what I just wrote before you contradict) and then the economy took off again to unprecedented highs. Now we are facing another downturn. It is a cycle, just like your simple brain waves.
Politicians do influence the economy, but the capitalist system is self-correcting on the whole. That is until outside forces like government screw around with it.
These two guys running for president are proposing the most socialistic ideas that I have ever heard. They will choke the system to death and then we can all look at the ivory towers where your beloved politicians sneer at us while we wait for bread. But scoff if you like, those with synapses firing at higher rates know exactly what I am saying.
Straight economics man.
dmets -- Just an opinion from a working stiff, nothing to get all upset about. I'm confused by your double-negative, though: "nothing i wrote not being true," what does that mean? Matters of opinion are neither true nor false and I was careful to preface my opinion with the word "typically." You see, we in the working world have to be very careful in how we word things; this fact is not lost on others in the working world but for others perhaps it is.
I totally skipped over the post where you discussed your brother's situation but read it after you called my attention to it; the job going away is brutal and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy but if (and only IF) he signed up for an ARM when he mortgaged his house its tough for me to sympathize. Lack of fiscal understanding and/or responsibility by those who signed up for these types of mortgages have thrown things out of whack for the rest of us and in my opinion foreclosure on those types of people is the only thing that can set it right.
JeffLebowski: The house being lost was due to him losing his job, not some crazy mortgage rate. He did try to find a job but there are not many jods around here,so he went to truck driving school. He does have a job now that he has a trade/skill. Sorry i ment to say that evrything i wrote not being true. That was me not proof reading what I was posting. As for me not working, I did work til almost nine months ago. My husband and I felt very strongly, me being at home to raise our children was the better choice. So i may not get paid money for what I do, but i think instilling strong values in our children and being there to actually raise them is a hugh positive in their lives. What I do is priceless, no amount of money could ever take the place of being able to here for my children, to watch them grow and learn. I to will work again once all my children are in school. I'm not a cold hearted person, I do believe some people's situation are not chosen by them. I do understand some people are homeless due the the economy. There are places and people out there to help them through these tough times.
dmets, what you do by staying home and raising your kids does NOT have a price tag on it, it will pay off tenfold in the end when your kids grow up to have morals and values. You can't be "paid" enough, there is not enough to pay you! But that's not the point here. I think Jeff is saying, if you were stupid enough to think that buying a beautiful house for zero per cent down without asking questions, you deserve what you got. A lot of your generation thinks that you should start out with only the best, it is demeaning to get married and buy a little house that you can afford until you are in a position to up-grade. Unfortunately, many have done it, now to find they are in BIG trouble. Our generation has faced job losses and lay-offs but we didn't go for it ALL in the beginning. You guys need to live within your means, not live like your friends, or be a wannabe. It doesn't work that way. I think your brother found that out.

How is registering poor people to vote "buying votes for Obama?" Are you saying McCain doesn't care about poor people? Shouldn't poor people be encouraged to vote? Isn't that what people mean by helping yourself out of your own problems? The old cliche You can't complain if you don't vote...
And nonsocialist, duh Repubs donate more money- THEY *HAVE* MORE MONEY!
Registering poor people isn't necessarily voter fraud, but registering them and having them vote multiple times, which is what the FBI is investigating ACORN for right now, IS fraud. I thought one needed a permanant address in order to register to vote. ACORN is registering the homeless. Again, that's against the law. Now, is ACORN coercing the people it "helps" into voting for THEIR choice? If you were poor, homeless, and perhaps not quite right in the head, and if someone picked you up and got you a warm meal, would you be inclined to vote their way? Maybe if they threw in a new blanket? A couple dollars?
Um, you are aware that the richest people in Congress are Democrats, aren't you?
By OldManGrump (Anonymous) on 10/16/08
NoBS - Haven't you had enough losses in your personal retirement savings accounts like an 401K and an IRA or the devaluation of your home to say I can't take 4 more years of Bush policies? I sure have. Obama is not the most liberal senator in the Congress. That's another McCain/Palin lie. Do you really think anyone can beat Teddy Kennedy for liberalism? The truth is we need to change the current Washington DC White House landscape, and Obama fills that bill. My business didn't do so bad under Bill Clinton compared to GWB.
I don't want 4 more years of this terrible economy, but no matter who the next prez is we won't get 4 more years of Bush. The allegation that McCain is a Bush clone is nothing but Obama's campaign lies. How is it that when Hillary was in the running, SHE wasn't going to bring back the Klinton years, with all the associated scandals and minor matters like perjury, but a guy who happens to have an R after his name, even though most hard-core Repubs dislike the man, is going to be Bush Jr?
Look at the facts. Look at the voting record of Saint Obama. He does have the most liberal voting record of any senator today.
I do agree we need to change the current DC landscape. That means Pelosi and her crowd have to go, too. I wouldn't mind at all if every single elected official in DC disappeared overnight, and we had to elect all new people. I think that would probably be the only thing that could restore the US to its former greatness. Do you remember when Pelosi took over as Speaker of the House? Do you remember her smugly saying that now that the Dems had control again, they were going to fix the price of gasoline? I sure do. Gas was about $2.85 a gallon then. They sure did fix it - right up to over $4 a gallon! It took the collapse of the US economy, and a giant dent in the world's economy, to bring the prices back into reality. And I wonder how long they'll stay down? Do you think the Tax-and-Spend Dems will allow it to stay down?
And under whose administration did the Dow reach its highest numbers ever?
Registering the homeless to vote is *not* illegal. http://www.nationalhomeless.org/getin... And the homeless have every right to vote just like any other citizen. Please do your research before repeating statements you hear on FOX "News". And no one is forcing the homeless to vote "their way"- that's impossible. As to voter fraud, check ACORN's website where they describe their side of the issue. http://0.acorn.org/index.php?id=12340
Also, nonsocialist was trying to say Republicans are just nicer people who care more and that's why they donate more. I was responding to that, comparing all Dems to all Repubs, not trying to compare people in Congress to each other. But thanks for the completely irrelevant and uncited factoid there.
And why is tax and spend such a buzz word with people on the right? Isn't that better than borrow and spend? Have you checked the national debt lately???
claylor: My brother bought a little 3 bedroom home on the westside of youngstown. Not some hugh house he could not afford. He was able to afford it until he lost his job due to the company closing it's doors. So what you are saying does not apply here. He did buy with in a low price range and didn't go hugh. He did put money down on the house. I didn't miss the point, and I think I explained everything very well. The facts are he was able to afford his house for the whole time he worked. Once the place he worked closed he was no longer able to afford it. He did look for another job, could not find one with the lack of jobs in our area, so he went to truck driving school. Now he has a job, and is on his way to getting back on his feet.
As for me and my husband, we do live within our means. We do not live in hugh house either, or own the best of everything. We sacrific things so we can give our kids a awesome life, but do not spoil them. So all the things you are saying do not apply to us either. We started with a small, old starter home, and hope to eventually upgrade to something new and a little bigger. We did not jump in feet first we were very smart about our choices we have made throughout our lives. We live within a budget.
OhioPerson, I'm not going to waste my time going to ACORN's site. I can find all the rhetoric and lies I want just by talking to any Obama fan I happen to encounter. The FBI is investigating ACORN - even the Communist News Network (CNN) admits that. They aren't investigating because they're all McCain fans.
Way to avoid the issue regarding who's wealthier in Congress.
Grump - so it's the Democrats' doing, that's got gas prices falling? Are they, then, also responsible for the collapse of our national economy? THAT's what's got the gas prices falling. The Arabs have priced themselves out of the market - they MUST drop their prices. With the collapse of the world economies, nobody can afford $130 a barrel oil.
Jeeze, would you guys stop drinking the Kool-Aid?
dmets-I'm totally with you. If anyone was to get any type of assistance it should be people like your brother rather than those who unwisely lived beyond their means by getting an ARM. Again, totally opinion.
To the Doctor's earlier point I understand why government involvement is scary and perhaps even unnecessary but labeling it Socialism seems to be a bit much. My interpretation is that theirs is a move to provide temporary stability until the market rights itself like you describe.
You just defined a type of socialism in your last sentence.
Offering to put a moratorium on home foreclosures, buying up bad mortgages from people, the government buying stock in private banks, proposing the government will "work with" private insurance companies to bring down premiums, the government forcing the large wage earners to pay even more income tax than they do now, redistributing wealth to the lowest class (income wise), giving free health care and social security to illegal immigrants who don't pay in, placing income limits on the stimulus package and other tax related deductions and credits, the earned income credit itself, alternative minimum tax, mandating that insurance companies give health care to everyone regardless of preexisting conditions, etc.
These ideals have been offered by both sides for years now. They may not equal socialism exactly but they sure as hell are not ideals of capitalism and a soundly regulated free market. The trend is evident.
When the government bought stock in these banks, who gets the dividends? Who gets the money back when the stock is sold? When the government floods the lending sector with funds who gets the interest when the money is repaid? Where will this money be distributed to?
"Temporary stability" has been going for about three decades now.
I thought we were talking about socialism in general not different variations...
Ours is a difference of opinion, obviously. I tend to believe a globalization of the marketplace has been a catalyst for the trend you describe and that a certain amount of government support (short of financial backing) is necessary to help bolster trade that favors us rather than hurts us, this mentality has bled into all the areas you describe...as those countries that don't have traditional capitalist societies weaken our dollar the government feels the need to act as a tourniquet, for better or worse. In the case of the bailout it was the wrong move (my opinion), but increasing the FDIC backing by $150k was probably a good move -- a good faith offering that truly could act as a stimulant rather than an escape route.
In any case this aggression will not stand, man.
Of course I can help homeless people.
I believe the more apt question is CAN THEY HELP THEMSELVES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I don't know. If you lost your home, your money, and [likely] your self worth, how would you help yourself?
dmets, I am glad you are thinking with a clear head, you guys will do just fine. I am sorry about your brother, after what you have said, he seems to have done things right, you know S...t happens, been there, done that, but somehow things work out. Have faith. It WILL work out for him.As long as he is carrying the ball, he will score that touchdown. Give it time.
They can get job/skills training, but they need to want to do it. There are people who find them self homeless and are proactive right from the start. But there are those who my lose all hope, so maybe they need conciling to let them know they are worth betting on themselves. Then they will want to go for the training.

1D To Tour The UK Again Next Year?
February 2, 2012 News No Comments
Those of you who've seen the latest video diary might have noticed that Niall hinted about a possible One Direction tour next year by saying: "Thank you for all of your support and thank you all for coming to the tour and those of you that didn't get to come – maybe we'll do a tour next year and you'll get to come along."
Yes Please!
The boys have now returned back from the USA and are safely on British soil again (woop!). Preparations are taking place for their appearance on Dancing On Ice this weekend, with extra security already having being drafted in to cope with the expected hordes of fans turning up to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
We'll leave you there dreaming of another One Direction tour…….

First-time moviemaker Tom Gormican steps up to bat with a directorial debut almost as strong as his script. The only thing keeping this film from being a game-changer in the romantic comedy genre is that it plays it safe with its casting. And although the three male leads (and their three respective leading ladies) do a good job with what they are given in terms of a screenplay, it is quite obvious that a few of them are simply reading the lines and going through the motions of what they believe to be an easy paycheck. That Awkward Moment never falls flat, though, despite its predictability, and rather embraces its mediocrity in terms of chemistry. In other words, it just goes with the flow and hopes for the best, much like the characters within its frames.
It is obvious from the first minute of the film that one person is completely and utterly out of place: Star Zac (High School Musical, The Paperboy) Efron turns in an obnoxious, overly-cocky, and incredibly wooden performance. A better actor would have made him sympathetic, rather than flat-out deplorable. His failed attempt at chemistry with Imogen (Fright Night, V for Vendetta) Poots is apparent throughout, but her acting chops and quirky charm more than make up for his lack of delivery. Michael B. (Friday Night Lights, Parenthood) Jordan and Jessica (Cloverfield, The Covenant) Lucas both offer up a stereotypical-yet-safe performance as the "good guy" in the trio of males in their late 20s living the dream in New York City and his soon-to-be ex-wife he's trying desperately to woo away from her current conquest respectively. But the film's strongest on-screen duo in terms of comedic timing and chemistry is that of the mile-a-minute jokester Miles (21 & Over, Project X) Teller and relative newcomer Mackenzie Davis. The two shine in each and every scene they share, and Teller has finally found his place in Hollywood as the go-to lovable jackass character.
The script is by far the movie's greatest strength. And aside from a should-have-been fatal miscasting of the lead actor, the film surprisingly flows well from beginning to end. The predictability aspect is to be expected with such a genre, but the marketing plan behind this early 2014 release was sneaky: A romantic comedy geared toward juvenile men who love poop and sex jokes. Granted, there are quite a few of those (most of which are actually quite funny), but at its core, it is the story about 20-somethings finding their way in a scary time that is adulthood. And, like any and all stories like this that have come before it, the opening monologue asks, "So... Where is this going?" The answer is simple. Straight toward a feel-good ending that happens in movies where everyone is clever, no one is ugly, and the good guys get the good girls and the jerks grow up and become better people. If this sounds better than reality, check it out. And if it doesn't, enjoy the endless string of inappropriate and uncomfortable social situations brought on by the antics of three overgrown man-children. Either way, it's a fun ride.

, tenor, born 31 January 1921 in Lichtenburg
Lloyd Strauss-Smith's extremely musical family included: a grandfather who conducted church choirs; an aunt, Violette Cowie (stage name: Violette Noveni) who sang with the Leonard Rayne Opera Company in South Africa and with others in Australia and India; and an uncle who was a soloist at municipal concerts in Johannesburg. His own career started at fifteen with Aimée Parkerson who spotted the potential of his voice. After two years' training he made his professional debut. The Second World War intervened, and six years later, after demobilisation, he joined John Connell's National Opera Company and sang tenor parts, for example in
In 1947 he went to London, where he was to stay, with brief interruptions, for twenty years. There he took roles in more than eighty operas, mostly produced for radio. They included many works by moderns, including British premieres of works by Schönberg, Reizenstein, Dallapiccola, Fricker, and Frank Martin. Two were television firsts: Menotti's
The Saint of Bleeker Street
and Nino Rota's
I Due Timidi
in which he sang the principal role. Other activities include some 200 broadcasts of songs and oratorios, appearances with leading orchestras and at the 1965 Glyndebourne Opera Festival, and visits to the continent. He sang the tenor part in Bach's
B minor Mass
at Naarden in Holland, when Kathleen Ferrier interpreted the contralto arias (1951).
In South Africa he sang the part of
in PACT's 1966 production of
Die Fledermaus
. The next year he took roles in
The Bartered Bride
Die Entführung aus dem Serail
. Since 1967 he has lived in Cape Town and taught (until 1978) at the College of Music. He has often sung in concerts and opera productions put on by CAPAB and the College of Music.
The following is extracted from Musicus, Volume 30.1 (2002)
by Barry Smith
Sometimes we South Africans tend to forget all too easily some of our singers who pioneered a place in world music, especially in an age where we seem to recognise younger talent that has 'made good' abroad quickly. One of these much neglected figures is the tenor Lloyd Strauss Smith, who turned 80 on 31 January 2001. Part of this neglect is possibly due to the fact that the most active part of his career was spent in England and that, although he sang in more than 80 operas, he was primarily an
oratorio and Lieder singer, a field which attracts less attention than that of the opera world. Born in Lichtenburg in 1921, the young Lloyd and his family moved to Johannesburg when his father died in the early 1930s and was educated at Parktown Boys
High. At an early age he knew that his career would inevitably be in music and his early musical training came from books found in libraries. The information he found in them taught him much of what he needed to know and by the age of 16 he had already written a symphony.
He had sung since boyhood and whilst working in a building society began taking singing lessons with the noted teacher, the British contralto Aimee Parkerson, who later also taught
Mimi Coertse
. When the war broke out Lloyd enlisted in the South
African Medical Corps and saw service in North Africa, mostly in Egypt. It was here that he gained his early experience in the regular series
Music for All
, which was largely masterminded by Clifford Harker who was later to have a distinguished career as organist of Bristol Cathedral. Here he sang a great variety of music, both popular and serious, ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan to the first performance of Handel's
in Cairo.
On his return to Johannesburg in 1945 he became principal tenor with John Connell's National Opera Company of South Africa thus gaining further wideranging experience in operas such as
Il Barbiere di Siviglia
Madama Butterfly
He also took the principal role in a production of
– a remarkable achievement for a singer still in his mid-twenties. By 1947 he had made the decision to move to London to gain further experience and to try his wings in the international scene. As luck would have it, he landed a part in Sir Thomas Beecham's recording of Delius'
A Village Romeo and Juliet
for HMV which proved to be the break he had been hoping for. He was soon on the books of London's leading agent Ibbs and Tillett, and a regular broadcaster for the BBC.
During his 20 years of singing in England he performed with some of the greatest conductors of the time, including Sir Adrian Boult, Sir John Pritchard, Sir Charles Mackerras, Sir David Willcocks, Rafael Kubelik, Rudolph Kempe, Ernest Ansermet, Herman Scherchen, Willem van Otterloo and Thomas Schippers. He also performed under the baton of such famous composers as Benjamin Britten, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gina-Carlo Menotti, Luigi Dallapiccola and Nono Rota, and with orchestras such as the Philharmonia, the London Symphony, London Philharmonic, the BBC Symphony, the Royal Philharmonic and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Philharmonic orchestras. Colleagues on stage and concert platform included such glitterati as Kathleen Ferrier, Dame Joan Sutherland, Dame Janet Baker, Leontyne Price and Sir Geraint Evans. Highlights in his career included the first British performances of Janáček's
and Nino Rota's
I Due Timidi
, the first BBC TV opera production of Menotti's
The Saint of Bleecker Street
and Verdi's
at the 1965 Glyndebourne Opera Festival.
During his time abroad he returned to South Africa on several occasions to sing in operas for the performing arts boards, operas such as Mozart's
Die Entführung aus dem Serail
Die Zauberflöte
as well as
Die Fledermaus
The Bartered Bride
. In 1967 he decided to return to South Africa to take up a post as lecturer in singing at the University of Cape Town (UCT) College of Music where he taught a number of devoted students until 1977. Before his recent retirement from public singing he was a frequent performer in Cape Town and other parts of the country, singing in countless oratorios, passions and masses as well as giving Lieder recitals and broadcasts. A notable achievement was a recital in a packed Baxter Concert Hall of Schubert Lieder on his seventieth birthday which coincidentally happened to be the same date as Schubert's birthday. He still teaches singing and has in the past examined for Unisa.

Welcome back!
Spring 2010 begins with another enrollment surge. While we will not know the final count until the close of census in early February, opening day enrollment is up 16 percent compared to last spring. This, of course, is a mixed blessing.
As our enrollment continues to climb, funding sources are declining. Negative inflation has resulted in a decrease of local property tax revenue and the state has cut categorical programs. Increasing budget strains present considerable challenges to the district as we go forward.
Additionally, while the governor's current budget proposal takes steps to protect funding for California community college programs and services; it also includes the elimination of the competitive Cal Grant program, and cuts to Extended Opportunities Programs and Services (EOPS) — actions that will hurt the neediest community college students at a time when Californians are deeply concerned with college affordability.
One part of the Cal Grant program provided 24 COM students a total of $22,000 in grants for textbooks, transportation, and supplies. Recipients, generally older students who earn an average income of $14,000, are ineligible for the state's entitlement program because they worked between high school and college. Hopefully, the legislature will reconsider this action in its May 2010 budget revision.
While the economy continues to falter and forecasts continue to be gloomy, the silver lining is that College of Marin continues to play a critical role in providing high-quality workforce training, basic skills education, and courses that support transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
Board Approves Revised Bond Spending PlanPlans to construct a new Academic Center (formerly the Gateway) at the Kentfield campus were approved Jan. 19, as part of an updated bond spending plan. The plan, approved with a 5-2 vote by the College of Marin Board of Trustees, involves replacing Olney Hall, Harlan Center, the Administrative Center, the Business Center, and the taqueria that is located at the corner of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and College Avenue with a building for classrooms and offices. Additional funds are expected to be available for other small projects after the Academic Center is completed.
Modernization UpdateThe COM Modernization Quarterly Progress Report (July 1, 2009 through Sept. 30, 2009) is available online. You may download a PDF copy of this report at the College of Marin Web site by following this link: http://www.marin.edu/MeasureC/progress_reports/index.htm
Presidential Search Firm Selected I am happy to report that the process for finding a new superintendent/president is moving ahead at full speed. Ralph Andersen & Associates, an executive search firm based in Rocklin, CA, was selected by the Board of Trustees to conduct the nationwide search for College of Marin's new superintendent/president. I have planned my departure for the end of the school year.
Extended Hours for Student ServicesThe following Kentfield student services offices will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010: Admissions, Financial Aid, and Counseling.
New Mileage Reimbursement RateThe mileage reimbursement rate as allowed by the Internal Revenue Service for employees and Board members is fifty cents (.50) per mile effective Jan. 1, 2010.

Actor Robin Williams reported dead at the young age of 63. The actor apparently committed suicide. His body was found early Monday. According to KTLA News 5 the Marin County Sheriff's office confirmed that Williams is deceased. Williams was found not breathing in his home around noon today.
A CNN representative said that Robin's had been battling severe depression. An investigation is underway. CNN also stated that the Coroner's office said, "The death to be a suicide due to asphyxia". Williams' media representative, Mara Buxbaum, confirmed the death to CNN earlier today.
Buxbuam continued saying that, "He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time."
People magazine states that the comedian checked himself into rehab in early July of 2014. He had been battling depression, drug addiction and alcohol addiction on and off throughout his life. Williams shot to fame in the 1970's comedy "Mork and Mindy". He played the alien Mork who's people aged backwards.
Williams was slated to reprise his role in a sequel for the family hit "Mrs. Doubtfire". He is well known for his comedic roles, such as: "Night at the Museum", "Happy Feet", "License to Wed", "RV", "Flubber", and dozens more. This reporter for one cannot fathom the death of this great actor.
Williams born in Chicago in 1951 attended one of the most prestigious drama schools in the country, Julliard. While his career began taking off, his problems seemed to soar as well. Williams became addicted to drugs early in his career. Despite setbacks Williams career continued to soar with roles in "Jumanji", "Hook", and "Mrs. Doubtfire".
In 2008 he began a one man stand-up comedy show, calling his tour "Weapons of Self-Destruction". The tour sold out, but derailed in 2009 due to health issues. He made a quick recovery and played the role of Teddy Roosevelt in "Night at the Museum". He continued to work in roles both on and off the big screen since 2009.
Williams has three children: Zachary Pym, Zelda Rae, and Cody Alan.

Recap | Final Stats | Quotes
FAU 34, Tulane 17
Tulane Game 9
FAU Stadium
Boca Raton, Fla.
Saturday's game marked the first-ever meeting between Tulane and Florida Atlantic on the gridiron. It was the fourth time during the 2013 season to date the Green Wave played a first-time foe. With the loss, the Green Wave are now 2-2 this year when facing a team for the first time.
The loss snapped a four-game winning streak and is Tulane's first defeat since falling, 52-17, at Syracuse back on Sept. 21. Tulane is now 6-3 on the year and 4-1 in Conference USA play.
Tulane's 167 yards of total offense (62 rushing, 105 passing) was a season low and the fewest since tallying 151 (minus-nine rushing, 160 passing) against ULM on Sept. 29, 2012. The Wave's 62-yard rushing effort was the second-lowest of the year. Tulane had just 45 against South Alabama back on Sept. 7.
The Green Wave committed a season-high four turnovers - all via interception. The last time Tulane had four interceptions in a single game was in last year's season finale at Houston on Nov. 24, 2012.
FAU's D'Joun Smith was the recipient of three of the Green Wave's interceptions, becoming the first opponent to pull down three interceptions in a game since Clinton Burrell of LSU on Nov. 22, 1975.
Tulane was shutout in the second half, marking the first time the Green Wave failed to score in a half since doing so in both in a 39-0 loss to Ole Miss on Sept. 22, 2012.
The Green Wave were held without a touchdown pass for the first time this season. The last time Tulane failed to score six through the air was against Ole Miss on Sept. 22, 2012 - snapping a streak of 17 games.
Mitch Anderson's 20-yard field goal with 14:50 left in the game marks the first time the Green Wave trailed in the fourth quarter since falling at Syracuse, 52-17, on Sept. 21 in the Carrier Dome.
Sophomore FS Darion Monroe was one of three Green Wave defenders to post double-digit tackle totals on Saturday at FAU, equaling his career high with 13 stops (5 solo, 8 assists). His original career-high came in a 10 solo, 3 assist performance against SMU on Oct. 13, 2012. Senior LB Zach Davis posted a season-best 12 tackles (2 solo, 10 assists) and junior SS Sam Scofield rounded out the double-figure tacklers with 10 (2 solo, 8 assists).
Sophomore DB Jordan Batiste logged the first multiple-sack performance of his career with 2.0 sacks among a career-best 2.5 tackles for loss against the Owls. He also forced a pair of fumbles to go with a pass break-up.
With one interception and a fumble recovery - both by sophomore CB Lorenzo Doss - the Tulane defense posted its eighth multiple-turnover outing of the season. The pick against FAU gives Tulane 16 for the year, which already surpasses the total of 15 a year ago, is now tied for ninth in Tulane single-season history and the most since the 2002 pulled down 22 interceptions.
Doss posted his sixth interception of his career and 11th of his career with a pick-six early in the first quarter at FAU. His six interceptions already ranks tied for sixth in Tulane single-season history, equaling the mark of George Kinek in 1950, and are the most by a Green Wave player since Lynaris Elpheage had eight in 2002. His 11 career interceptions, meanwhile, moves him into a tie for sixth place in the Tulane annals, equaling the mark of David Skehan from 2005-08. He broke a tie for seventh place in Tulane history, moving past Bobby Jones (1947-50), Homer Dedeaux (1947-50) and Lou Thomas (1940-42) who had 10 each.
Doss' 69-yard touchdown return plus his 59-yard pick-six against North Texas back on Oct. 5, makes him the first Tulane player to score twice via interception return in the same season since Sean Lucas did so in 2002. Lucas had a 76-yard interception return for a touchdown against Southern on Aug. 31 and took in a lateral following an interception by Tra Boger and ran the final 53 yards for a score against UAB on Oct. 19.
With four receptions for 37 yards, senior WR Ryan Grant extended his consecutive games with a catch streak to 29 on Saturday at FAU. The last time Grant - who missed the final 12 games of the 2011 season due to injury - failed to catch a pass in a game he played in came on Oct. 9, 2010, against Army. He now has multiple-catch outings in each of his last 15 contests.
For his career, Grant has now caught 176 passes for 2,467 yards (14.02 avg.) and 19 touchdowns. In the Tulane career record book, he moved into fifth place in receiving yards (surpassing Adrian Burnette's 2,459 from 1997-2000 and Wil Ursin's 2,466 from 1990-93) while remaining tied for fifth in 100-yared games (10), seventh in receptions (176) and tied for seventh in touchdown receptions (19).
With 45 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, senior RB Orleans Darkwa has now run 597 times for 2,604 yards (4.36 avg.) and 34 touchdowns for his career. In the Tulane career record book, he remains second in rushing touchdowns (34), third in rush attempts (507) and rushing yards (2,604), fourth in total touchdowns (34) and fifth in 100-yard games (8).
Senior PK Cairo Santos scored five points for the evening after connecting on 22-yard field goal and converting both of his PAT tries. For his career, Santos has now scored 292 points after connecting on 58-of-72 field goals (.806) and 118-of-121 PATs (.975). In the Tulane career record book, he moved into second place in total points scored and point scored kicking (surpassing Brad Palazzo's 290 from 1995-98) and remains first in field goal percentage (.806), second in field goals made (58), third in field goal attempts (72), PATs made (118) and PAT attempts (121), and fourth in PAT percentage (.975).
Redshirt-freshman Chris Taylor started for the first time in his career on Saturday at FAU, opening the game at right guard. He becomes the 11th Tulane player and fifth freshman to earn his first career start this season. Redshirt-freshman WR Devon Breaux, redshirt-freshman LG Nathan Shienle, sophomore LT Arturo Uzdavinis, senior DT Chris Davenport, junior DE Andre Robinson and freshman LB Nico Marley all earned their first starts in the season opener against Jackson State on Aug. 29, senior DE Jeremy Peeples did so at Louisiana Tech on Sept. 12, the duo of redshirt-freshman WR Kedrick Banks and junior DE Tyler Gilbert followed suit at Syracuse on Sept. 21, and freshman DB Jarrod Franklin started at nickelback against North Texas on Oct. 5.
Taylor is now one of six freshmen to start a game so far in 2013 as redshirt-freshman QB Devin Powell started the last two games. Powell did start last year's home game against Ole Miss on Sept., 22, 2012, before missing the remainder of the year with an injury.
Redshirt-freshman Colton Hanson made his collegiate debut on Saturday at FAU, entering the game with just over five minutes to go in the first half and playing left guard. He is now the 18th freshman - 12 true, six redshirt - to play for the Green Wave so far in 2013.
Two Tulane players extended their double-digit starting streaks on Saturday against Tulsa: Sophomore FS Darion Monroe (21) extended his double-digit starting streak on Saturday at FAU while sophomore CB Lorenzo Doss reached double-digit starts with his 10th in a row. Senior RG Rio Mares, who played against the Owls but did not start, saw his starting streak snapped at 18games.
Tulane's game captains for Saturday's contest at FAU were senior TB Orleans Darkwa, senior DT Chris Davenport, senior WR Ryan Grant, senior PK Cairo Santos, senior DT Julius Warmsley and junior SS Sam Scofield.

Can you find me some awesome knock-offs for $100 or less? What I love about them: mixed print and leather, chunky heel, ankle/t-strap.
You're amazing!
We've included a picture of the chunky heels that have captured Celeste's heart, and we tried our best to find a pair that will appeal to Celeste's style and wallet. We did such a good job searching for a pair of clunky heels worthy of Celeste's affection, in fact, that we're certain it won't be long before we purchase a pair for ourselves. A few of these are the same heel, but in a different color (we thought that if we included them in this post, it would help Celeste decide which ones she likes the most). Best of luck in your shoe hunt, Celeste (we just like typing your name) - and we hope we helped!

The Picture
Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Have you ever looked at a picture and wished you were that person? I had one of those moment tonight, but it was a very odd sort of feeling that welled up inside me because the person in the picture was...myself...The picture on my front page that says current was me back when I weighed my lightest at 220 pounds. This picture was literally taken before my life took a nose dive and I packed all the weight back on again.
I keep looking into her eyes and telling myself I want to be her only to say, but you ARE her. You can be here again. But how? How can I be this beautiful woman who you notice her deep blue eyes instead of her double chin and chubby cheeks? It is so hard for me to realize I won't be that person again until I make the decisions to change my life and do better for myself. AUGH! It is so hard to wait for something like that! It's so hard to look in the mirror and realize below the fat is the woman you have always wanted to be.
I keep realizing that if I really want it, I CAN change the physical me. I can be the woman running down the sidewalk that turns heads. I can be the girl who gets hit on. I can be the girl who goes and does physical activities and doesn't worry about if she can do them. I can be a different person all together!!! It is so inspiring to think that and yet it seems so far away. I think I need to print this picture off and put it somewhere to remind myself that she does still exist deep inside.

I feel your pain...totally.
Going back to the Sparkpeople convention in 2009 I was at my lowest weight ever as an adult; 255. I felt great and was loving life. I was growing stronger and more daring. I decide to move forward and try some endurance events; biking and running. That's when things started to come back. I started gaining slowly because I'd be off biking for hours or running miles burning MOST of it off. I kept justifying it because I needed the calories to keep going, but that was a big excuse. By the time I ran a marathon last spring I was around 285 pounds. Then my life changed drastically as did my weight. I decided to leave my wife and start a new life. Living with family for awhile, finally in my own place (my house that I'm trying to sell), stress and everything, coupled with a running injury has me really packing the weight on. The injury is mostly better, but the scale is another thing. I need to find the motivation to get back on track and start working towards a new future. I hope that your new "start" can give you the same.

My Ántonia
by Willa Cather
My Ántonia Book 2, Chapter 3 Summary
(Click the plot infographic to download.)
- When Ántonia comes to town she is excited to see Jim. She suggests that Grandmother will like her better once she learns to live in town.
- Jim enjoys having Ántonia around again. Mrs. Harlings sees that Ántonia stops work a lot to play with the children. She learns more English rapidly.
- Jim gets jealous because Ántonia takes a liking to Charley Harling. She always does things for him like bake him cakes or sew buttons on his coat.
- Ántonia also likes Nina Harling, who is six and very moody. She cries a lot.
- When Mr. Harling is away, Jim has fun evenings at the Harlings. When he's home, though, everyone has to go to bed early, because Mr. Harling likes a quiet house. He works alone in his study and doesn't pay attention to anyone else. He seems like a very powerful nobleman to Jim.
- But when he's away, the house of noisy and fun. They have a piano that everyone likes to play, even Mrs. Harling.

The book documented the works painted by a group that is now known as the Wasatch School, which consisted of a handful of artists from the Rocky Mountain School, said Anne Brahic, exhibitions director at the Kimball Art Center.
"The Rocky Mountain School emerged from the Hudson River School in the late 19th and early 20th century," Brahic explained to The Park Record. "The Hudson River School painted in a very romantic style where they painted realistically."
The members of the Wasatch School focused on the art of the Wasatch.
In 2006, the Museum of Utah Art presented a comprehensive exhibit of the works found in the book.
The original purpose of the book was to document these works of art, because strange things began happening to them, Brahic said.
"Some of these paintings belonged to the state; some to Brigham Young University, the Springville Museum of Art, the original artists and private owners," she said. "Some were hanging in public schools in different communities in Utah, and, unfortunately, there was no real sense of their value.
"So, in some cases, the coaches at these schools who needed team jerseys would pull one of these paintings, which had a value of thousands of dollars, and sell it for $100 to raise money for the school," Brahic said.
On Saturday, Sept. 7, the Kimball Art Center will pay tribute to the original exhibit and open its own "Painters of the Wasatch" display that will include many of the original works from the 2006 showing, Brahic said.
"We at the Kimball got together with the Utah Museum of Art and History and met with them earlier this year to organize a remounting of the exhibit that was done with the works that were in the book," Brahic said. "We went through the book with Ann Orton and scoped through the pieces that we could get on loan by other galleries and private owners in the area."
Unlike the Rocky Mountain School or Hudson River School — where artists painted in a uniform, realistic style — the Painters of the Wasatch works are painted in many different styles.
"That's why we'll have abstracts, impressionists and realistic paintings in the exhibit," Brahic said. "There will be about 35 pieces on display and it will run for eight weeks."
Two of the works that will be shown are by Park City-based artist Susan Swartz.
Swartz's works have been exhibited in the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. in 2011, and she was honored by Zion's Bank for her artistic contribution to Utah in 2012.
She is also one of the artists who were featured in the original book.
The artist said, via an email interview, that she was "honored to be a part of the Kimball Art Center exhibit.
"It is wonderful for me to have my work hung with Maynard Dixon, Leconte Stewart, John Hafen, Doug Snow, Waldo Midgley, J. Leo Fairbanks... and all these amazing artists who are inspired as I am by the Utah landscape," Swartz said. "I was delighted when the Kimball invited me to participate in this 'reunion' —especially when they suggested including a recent work. We artists are always most excited about what is currently challenging us."
The two works, requested by Brahic, will be "Soldier Hollow," a commission for the 2002 Winter Olympics, and "Purple Majesty II."
"[Anne] felt 'Purple Majesty II' dramatically represented the artistic journey I have been on since 2002—from realism to abstraction of nature," Swartz said.
Although Swartz's works are more abstract, she still holds a reverence for nature.
"Nature is where we connect with God, with the 'Great Mystery,' as the Native Americans referred to him," Swartz said. "The Wasatch Mountains have captured us all who live here.
"Maybe we moved here for a job, but we stay here because of our direct connection to nature—harsh and cold sometimes but magnificent and glorious always," she said. "It is integral to the life we lead. Although at the moment I do not paint a particular place or particular view—my work is now more abstract, or deconstructed if you will—my inspiration comes from my time spent outside. The Kimball understands that for many artists who work in Utah, nature must be where we begin."
Swartz, who is a survivor of two environmentally caused illnesses — mercury poisoning and lyme disease — said the importance of exposing new audiences and reintroducing older audiences to these paintings is to remind them of the simple and complex beauty of the natural world and to preserve it.
"My battle to wellness changed me as a painter and as a citizen," she said. "I paint with bolder brighter colors [and] I actively support clean water and air initiatives, organic and local food production. We must respect a balance with our environment [and] move from exploitation to intelligent stewardship.
"Every painter of nature wants to interpret and share the colors, the shapes, the patterns, the light, the feelings they discover over time onto a canvas," Swartz said. "Maybe we will inspire someone to look up from their screen and take a walk, climb a mountain, visit a national park, examine a leaf [or] rediscover these precious gifts we are so blessed to be part of and then get involved in preserving them for our grandchildren's children."
The Kimball Art Center, 638 Park Ave., will open the "Painters of the Wasatch" exhibit on Saturday, Sept. 7. The exhibit is comprised of historic and modern works from artists of all styles that depict the Wasatch. For more information, visit www.kimballartcenter.org.

So the alarm rattled my brain this morning at 5am, and I laid there wrestling with my mind over whether I wanted to get up and start my day or not… I was a year older today and had several things running through my mind.
Then I remembered a chat I had had with my wife Kelly not too long ago…
Dream Or Reality?
"…I was visualizing myself walking quickly and silently past my boys' bedroom on my way to the front door. The morning heat was kicking on in the house and the cool, fresh air hit my face as I reached down for the large sack on my outside front step… A huge smile stretched across my face.
I opened the sack and thumbed through it. It was all there. My daily allowance of $10,000!
The stipulations on the enclosed note said that over the next 100 days I would be receiving a sack like this each day, but the money not spent or utilized by the end of the day would disappear, never to be seen again. And depending on how I did, I might be granted an extension on this offer…
Excitement rushed through my veins as I made my plans for this day and the days to come… Not wanting to miss out on any opportunity to get out there and do good for my family and the world with these precious resources…"
Did you know that this happens every day at my house? Although it's not literally $10,000 sitting there on my porch, I do have around 18 hours of wake time or 1,080 minutes or 64,800 seconds in each day to take action with. That's $9.26 per minute or $.15 per second (if I did my math right in this analogy).
We can either choose to "spend" that time with positive thoughts and empowering actions or not to. It ultimately comes down to the BIG QUESTION… "How do I "spend" my time?"
One thing is for sure, we are not ever able to retrieve the time that has passed… much like the money that is spent or squandered. The 'Parable of the Talents' (Matthew 25:14-30) in the Bible is one great source for this understanding, too.
We all have precious resources to be good stewards of, whether it be money, time, talent or even just life…
So much time is being spent by people worrying or being angry at the world… That won't fix anything. If anything, it will only perpetuate these beliefs and attempt to drag everyone down around them.
Let's Ask Ourselves Some Tough Questions
How is your time spent? Is it vested in your eternity? Is it vested in the long-term well-being of your family or your wellness for a better quality of life? Don't let your thoughts or beliefs hold you captive. Make a change now to look at life through a new lens. Embrace each day as a new blessing and be a blessing to others around you.
You know what will happen don't you? You'll become more happy and content… a content ness that brings peace to you and those around you. By living in each 'moment' and being 'present' you become more true to you and open to what life has to give back to you as well.
Looking back at our analogy… if after 100 days I maximized the resources I was given (i.e. $10,000 daily allowance) I could have invested a total of $1 million dollars… What kind of long-lasting affect might I have on those around me? Especially if I now have $1 million dollars invested in numerous ways?
Well, can you see how the same holds true with the way we 'spend' our time? Of course! And based on our actions we might even be entrusted with more in the long run, too!
Ultimately our decisions are based on a couple of simple things. We use discipline to accomplish our goals and to avoid pain and to use our time well. Or there can be the motivation of regret which brings pain based on not using our time well or making poor choices. What motivates you? Self-discipline or Regret?
Here is a video with a great message. Take a moment to sit back and soak it up…
I'd like to close with a couple things.
First, I've listed below some inspiring blog posts of some of my Tribe which address how they spend their time and share insights to what brings purpose and passion to their lives.
Jon Alfredsson: "The Purpose of Life"
Michael Feil: "Surprise Wedding: Yes, You Read That Right!"
Ken Pickard: "Man Day — Father And Son Time"
Eric Goldstein: "I'm Running A Marathon… Why I'm Doing This??"
Nick Logan: "New Year Inspiration For 2010″
And finally, I'm going to share a short video on how I aim to budget my time and organize and prioritize my week.
Here are also a few of my own blog posts where I visit the things I hold dear or that bring purpose and passion to my life.
Just For Today
Thoughts To A New Entrepreneur
Speaking Louder Than Words: "Be A Force Of Nature!"
Reaching His Full Potential… Inspiration For Us All!
I hope you've enjoyed this little thought which has POWERFUL, LONG REACHING, PARADIGM SHIFTING IDEAS…
How do you stay focused and grounded in your daily actions? Please share below and if you think others would benefit from this little dialogue, I always appreciate your ReTweet.
As I turn one year older today. It's my prayer and wish that you find a New Empowerment in ALL THAT YOU DO and that your Dreams Come True.
Here's to you!

FuzziBunz Elite Pocket Diapers (One-Size) - CLEARANCEProduct Rating: Product Review (submitted on January 2, 2011):
While my favorite one-size diaper is made by BumGenius, I really like FuzziBunz as well. The perfect size diapers are much trimmer and that often makes them more convenient when going out as they fit under baby clothing better. But I love the snaps (on the one-size); FuzziBunz has perfected the diaper snaps. Easy to use, longer lasting and more durable than velcro, FB makes a tapered snap which means it's provided a really good fit around the waist.
They wash up well and the colors stay bright (my red one is over two years old and the color still looks new!!) but I find that the inside fleece does show wash-wear rather quickly.

The prolific Italian composer Stelvio Cipriani has scored countless films from his homeland's golden age of genre cinema, covering the musical bases for spaghetti westerns, gialli, romances, horror flicks and violent crime films over the course of his legendary career.
Cipriani's funky, melodic score to the 1979 film from Cannibal Holocaust director Ruggero Deodato serves as one of the very best examples of the man's work, however, capturing the composer's penchant for driving rhythms and smooth character themes. The German soundtrack specialists over at Chris' Soundtrack Corner have issued Cipriani's score for Concorde Affaire '79 in its complete form with excellent, in-depth liner notes, giving the composer's excellent work here the true treatment it deserves here on compact disc.
The film itself was an Italian take on the "disaster movie" genre which enjoyed so much popularity in the U.S.A. during the 1970s, with such films as Earthquake, Airport and The Towering Inferno enjoying big box office success with movie goers, with Deodato's effort riffing specifically on the David Rich film of the same year, The Concorde...Airport '79. Cipriani's score is nicely balanced between and energetic main title which relies heavily upon a syncopated high-hat rhythm, while the "Affaire Rhythm for Guitar" offers up a lighter, more romantic riff on the theme, falling more in line with the sort of bossa nova and lounge sound usually associated with Italian cinema of the 1960s and 70s.
Followers of Stelvio Cipriani's career have noted the maestro's penchant for recycling his most famous cues for variations on other soundtracks, and this proves true here once again on Concorde Affaire '79, as his main theme riffs a bit on his classic title cue for the 1973 crime drama La Polizia Sta a Guardare, a motif which would rear its head both on Mario Bava's 1974 poliziotteschi film Rabid Dogs as well as the 1977 "animals attack" feature Tentacles. Cipriani would work off these recognizable note choices often during his composing career, returning to the theme on his scores to The Great Alligator the same year, as well as on Umberto Lenzi's 1980 "infected people" picture Nightmare City.
Regardless of this fact, Cipriani is showcased here at his very best on Concorde Affaire '79, with "Danger Call" serving as another highlight of the score, soaring upon the strength of Cipriani's magnificently arranged string section. The majestic melody achieved by these strings makes this track a sample worthy jewel by anyone's standards, yet it's the impact of Cipriani's score as a whole, focused album of music which sets Concorde Affaire '79 as one of the composer's most memorable works.
