Skip to comments.Obama to Give Briefing on Egyptian Situation "Shortly" (Live Thread)
Posted on 02/11/2011 11:08:56 AM PST by scott7278
President Obama was scheduled to speak at 12:30pm Central Time. While we are still awaiting his words, feel free to vent about the current situation in Egypt until he begins speaking!
oh boy! more Obama! he needs his own tv station-— oh wait he's got one
bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hussein doesn't know squat about what is going on.
All he knows about the Egyptian situation can fit in a very small thimble.
He certainly loves to talk.
I'll hear the truth about it all the same way I always have.
By reading what Freepers have to say about it.
On-going General Live Thread about Egypt and associated topics at
Breaking News & LIVE THREAD #3 - CRISIS IN EGYPT (Mubarak Resigns)
Rush said the speech is being delayed because it's taken them a little longer than they thought to build the pyramid backdrop. Heh.
The Jerusalem Post is optimistic:
The Daily Telegraph is realistic:
What do we need to hear from Bammy for? President Biden has already spoken on Egypt from the McConnell Center in Louisville!!
Ex Dictators are a sticky commodity. Wonder where Mubarak will settle down.
Good for you! I wish I had the ability to avoid trainwrecks, but I don't. ;)
Why would anyone care what he has to say about anything?
I think he's waiting to see which direction the wind is blowing...Reagan he ain't.
Maybe YOU'RE awaiting his words, I am not.
He was scheduled to speak 45 minutes ago? Sounds about right for him.....he could never be a newsreader or have a talk show - or hold a job.....
He's adept at capitalizing on one crisis after another!!
THAT makes him a 'President'...see???
I prefer to think that he doesn't know what's going on, although we're seeing what a "Community Organizer" actually does.
Then I'll be waiting for your report on the trainwreck! ;^)
He went on and on, and then said that he had much more to talk about, but Obama would be talking soon.
lol, I hope he rides in bare-chested on a camel, like Putin would
Actually, he does have his OWN network ......
He has terminal cancer, doesn't he? Wherever he settles, it won't be for long.
I don't, really, but it is fun to watch Dear Leader implode.
the only way to get thru it is to take a drink every time he says "I, and Me"
He's probably waiting for the uppers to kick in.
Just popped over to the white house site - press pool Barry Egypt statement is now on there for 3pm
They tend not to stick around on this marble much longer after losing power.
Except maybe Noriega....is he still languishing in a Miami prison?
France is usually a good place for these types. The French just love that ill gotten loot that is spent.
Here I will save you all the trouble of seeing it
Obama: Yes it was all me, I made Mubarak resign. I called him up, gave him the ol Obama charm and BAM, he resigned. Yes I am Obama and I am that damn good. Obama be praised
Well he owns it now. I do hope they form a pro american free democracy and all is Unicorns and Rainbows. However. Socialists intentions always cause the opposite of the desired outcome. I imagine he will try to bail out Egypt now with our money through the IMF.
He is the One they have been waiting for.
Let us all guess, this is a great moment in history that our children are here to witness, the peoples democartic revolution that I, me I me I me I me I me created. Leader of the rest of the idiots
No thanks. I've heard that same type speech for two years already. I don't need to hear it again.
Barry usually bangs out of the West Wing by noon on Fridays.
"Obama learns of Mubarak resignation by watching TV in Oval Office..." (Drudge headline)
Obama and Co., plus our clueless State Department and Intelligence agencies will likely learn the same way of the next radical Islamist attack on America or any other world disaster. They are clueless and aren't improving through learning from mistakes. If we don't vote out Obama and some more Democrat senators in 11/2012, we are doomed.
Gaffable Joe vamps for Hussein today.
BREAKING NEWS: Mubarak said he was kidding. He didn't resign.
That picture says it all
O: Let me be perfectly clear! This happened because of me. I am here, they are over there. But it's absolutely true that I made it happen. Look how the Egyptians are praising me and Allah, in that exact order, me first, Allah second.
You forgot to add that Mobark said last night that he so loves Egypt and the children and no amount of money or outside influence will make him leave. Obama then called Mobarry on his blackberry and offered him compensation for all of the oil money he will lose and he got on his jet and moved to beverly dubai or a yacht in the middle of no where.
It was highly reported Obama and Clinton incited this. Obama is happy as a clam his brothers mooslum will grab the reins but he will try to act presidential because ole Daley wrote the speech on the teleprompter.
LIVE on Fox all the crowds are suddenly SO NICE and not attacking. The radicals were all called to the Obama tent to rest so the normal people can make it look all cushy.
He can't talk when Rush still has time to comment afterward.
Perhaps he's having a few smokes in the Rose Garden.
Oh, I forgot...he quit. Michelle told us so.
I thought that was an interesting comment.

Rory & Tiger to Make Season Debut in Abu Dhabi
After completing their first Nike ad together, Tiger Woods and Rory McIroy have now headed to the Middle East for each player's season debut. The two will be the undisputed main attractions for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, a $2.7 million European Tour event that starts Thursday at Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
McIroy, the clear No. 1-ranked player in the world at the end of 2012, and No. 2 Woods are among 124 players in the tournament. Also in the field is defending champion Robert Rock. The Englishman entered last year's final round tied with Woods for the lead and, while playing in the last group, posted a 2-under 70 to edge Woods, who shot an even-par 72.
Now equipped with new Nike clubs, which will pay an estimated $200 million to $250 million over a 10-year contract and he's had several chances to test out before his first competition, McIlroy is ready to go in his season opener. "I've had a nice break over Christmas and the New Year, but it's back to business now," the 23-year-old Northern Irishman told reporters.
"Abu Dhabi is a great place to start the season, as it's one of my favorite tournaments. This is the sixth time I will have played the tournament, and I've always done pretty well here in the past. In the last four years, I have had two second-place finishes, a third and a fifth, so I know it's a golf course that really suits my game.
"I'm looking forward to getting my 2013 season off and running, and hopefully I can carry my momentum over from last year into this one. Last year was obviously an amazing season for me and it's going to be tough to top it, but I feel refreshed and excited about the year ahead."
Also in the field are major champions Ernie Els, Martin Kaymer, Darren Clarke, Paul Lawrie, Paul Hamilton and Jose Maria Olazabal. Kaymer has won the tournament three of the past five years. American Jason Dufner is also in Abu Dhabi this week.
Rory-Tiger Video
Nike's new advertisement with McIlroy and Woods shows the two players on a golf course hitting incredible shots in a show of one-upmanship. Called "No Cup is Safe," the duo tries to outdo each other by smacking balls into drinking glasses and soup bowls, smashing windows if necessary. The two trade playful jabs ("Dude, is that your real hair?" asks Tiger) and competitive camaraderie.

A bunch of children at DYFS were happy this holiday season, thanks to Girl Scout Troop 792's Community Toy Drive. For the Silver Award project, the scouts organized and hosted a toy drive on Dec.16, 2011 at the Port Murray Fire Hall. They collected and donated over 70 toys to DYFS, as well as sorted them before the parents came in. Through this Silver Award, the girls learned how to organize an event and ask community businesses for help. It was a great experience and fun to do something that would benefit others.

Hey all, I am still catching up, but wanted to say HI to everyone! And also that the FJs are adorkable.
The F chord can go fuck itself. That's what I say.
It's a stat holiday here in Canada: Victoria Day, formerly known as Commonwealth Day, and before that, as (British) Empire Day. So anyway, my point is that my entire community, being comprised mainly of free citizens who are monarchists when it's convenient, has arrived at a standstill. Except the wind, which is blowing around cottonwood tree fluff, which I am allergic to, and which looks like soap foam drifting down the river.
And. That. Fucking. Fly. Which I need to go murder. Excuse me.

Film follows Czech playwright-president
PRAGUE — Vaclav Havel, one of the more complex figures to emerge from the former East Bloc, comes to life in ways that surprise even his own countrymen in the docu "Citizen Havel," screening at Berlinale.
Some 13 years in the making, pic benefits from rare, behind-the-scenes access granted to helmer Pavel Koutecky, who died in an accident on the set of a subsequent docu about Base jumpers in 2006.
Co-director Miroslav Janek finished the film and editing, resulting in a two-hour tour of the playwright-president's administration and his often comic struggles to stay on top of things in a newly minted democracy.
Havel, now 71, had been jailed under the old regime for writing plays and essays critical of the state. He was swept into the presidency after Czechoslovakia's Velvet Revolution toppled communism in 1989 and remained in office through 1992, the year Koutecky began lensing.
The film is first and foremost about the almost painfully soft-spoken and often fussy intellectual, and captures him stressing over whether his suits hang right and relishing a visit from the Rolling Stones and Bill Clinton's sax solo at a Prague jazz club.
Czech critics and auds, who don't lay accolades on Havel nearly as often as his admirers abroad do, have clearly been won over as well.
"Reviews are fantastic," says producer Pavel Strnad of Prague's Negativ. Strnad says he never doubted that "Citizen Havel" would work.
That might seem clear to any Western producer, but in is native country, Havel has often been eclipsed in the spotlight by his rival, the conservative Vaclav Klaus, who was prime minister during much of Havel's reign.
Havel, who was hospitalized in January with heart arrhythmia and bronchitis, has returned to work on a new play inspired by his presidency, which will open this year in New York and Prague.

Cold Heartby Chandler Mcgrew
From an electrifying new voice in suspense fiction comes a chilling, edge-of-your-seat thriller as terrifying as a gunshot in the frozen air and AS merciless as a sadistic killer's COLD HEART. The shooting has started. For the next four hours a killer will stalk the inhabitants of a remote Alaskan village hidden in a wilderness of awesome beauty. And Micky Ascherfeld, a burned-out ex-cop, is the only person who can stop him. Without a gun, cut off from the outside world, Micky plays a deadly game of hide-and-seek with a man on a killing rampage. Moving from cabin to cabin, she finds her once-familiar world turned into a landscape of sheer horror. To survive, she must confront the demons in her own past-even as she becomes the focus of a madman's sick obsession and a terrified girl's only hope. With another life to save besides her own, Micky has found a new reason to endure if only she can.
The Darkeningby Chandler Mcgrew
IT BEGINS WITH A BLACKOUT. All electrical power ceases to run. Even the sun seems a little dimmer. Cities come to a halt. And then their inhabitants vanish. But a small, clandestine group of warriors has been preparing for this moment for centuries. Their hopes rest on two strangers, a thousand miles apart, who hold the keys to the world's salvation: Dylan Barnes, a martial arts instructor who teaches his students the art of inner balance but is plagued by shadows only he can see and voices muttering in a language only he can hear; and Lucy Devereau, a private investigator who earns a living by prying into the lives of others but is haunted by her own birthright-and the mystery of her true parents. The world around them-our world-is slipping into darkness. Now, as fate and blood push them to the front lines of an extraordinary battle, Lucy and Dylan must stare into the face of something ancient, something impossible, something that has come to blot out the light-forever. From the Paperback edition.
In Shadowsby Chandler Mcgrew
In a small Maine valley, thirteen-year-old Pierce Morin, born blind and deaf, possesses a terrifying gift: he can hear evil whispering-and knows an elusive, deadly force is stalking the people he loves. . . . Detective Jake Crowley has run far away from his Maine hometown. But a bizarre shootout in Galveston, Texas, finally draws him home: to a woman he can barely face, to the unsolved mystery of his mother's murder, to a family curse and a valley that's fallen under the spell of a serial killer. . . . For Jake, redemption lies in unlocking Pierce's gifts and hoping the boy can show him the way to stop the terrors that plague him. But while young Pierce can begin the search, only Jake can finish it-by looking evil in the eye and claiming both their birthrights. . . .
Night Terrorby Chandler Mcgrew
In an instant they were gone. . . Four years apart, two boys vanished without a trace in a picturesque community in Maine. For Sheriff Virgil Milche, the disappearances are a black mark on a fine career. For the mother of one of the victims, the mystery is a dark journey through grief, hope, and madness. Audrey Bock is certain her son is still alive. She believes that in the silence of his absence she can hear him crying out to her. And now she suspects that somewhere in her own past lies the key to her son's disappearance. To find her son, Audrey must confront the maze of her memory. To unravel an agonizing case, Virgil must uncover the bizarre darkness lurking within his well-lit world. But as both move closer to the truth, they will face the most forbidding barrier of all: Someone out there knows exactly what happened to two little boys--and who must die next. From the Paperback edition.

18 Animal Cupcakes Anyone Can MakeMacki West
Baking is one of those activities that is so satisfying to me – I get to enjoy making a cake or cupcakes, and then I get to eat the delicious treat. There's only one problem for me: decorating. I was not blessed with the artistic ability it takes to create beautiful and impressive cake decorations. I want more than anything for one of my cupcakes to look like something other than just a smear of frosting with sprinkles on top. I set out to find adorable animal cupcakes that a not-so-talented decorator can pull off. Now I can't decide which to make first: the monkeys, hippos, owls, bunny butts, llamas…the list goes on. My kids are lucky this week. Check out all the amazing animal cupcakes that anyone, even me, can make!
Owls 1 of 17These owls feature Oreo/M&M eyes and an M&M beak. Yes, you can do this and totally impress your guests!

Alligator 4 of 17It looks like all you have to do is use a ribbon tip and make it look bumpy--something I do quite well without trying. Then add some chocolate squares along the back arranged in the shape of an alligator. I love this for a boy's birthday.

Llamas 5 of 17Ok, ok, these are fondant, but they are llamas!! Also, the fondant she makes is from microwaved marshmallows. Sounds easy enough, especially if I can get a llama out of the deal.

Bunny Butts 6 of 17These are hilarious and require no fancy frosting. Just cover the frosting in crumbled chocolate cookies, dip some circus peanuts into white chocolate, and attach half a black jelly bean and some chocolate covered sunflower seeds for feet. For the tail, coat a mini marshmallow with corn syrup and cover with white sugar beads.

Our most popular pattern ever! So sweet for Christmas.
Cute pattern. If you study the pattern and imagine the sewing, I think you would be able to figure out how they are sewn together.
I'd need instructions. :D. Wish I had more of an aptitude these days for the actual construction. Old age!
This is so cute. I love it!
I was going to purchase this but all the comments about lack of instructions for joining the snowmen has scared me off
I purchased this pattern and would also like to know how to sew the snowmen together.
So do see and answer to how to sew the snowmen together???
ADORABLE! I love it but for costing me $3.50 I was hoping for better instructions on the assembly....a bit confused as far as attaching the snowmen and the entire process in general...
Oh my-this is just too cute. I love Snowmen anything & I hope my sister will make me 1 of these...hint, hint sis.
I don't see on the pattern or missed it but how do you attach the snowman together?
this is adorable! I love decorating with snowmen during the holidays. This will have to be added to my collection.
The question was asked several months ago...what are the measurements of this table runner? Important to know before purchasing. Thanks so much!
I'd measure your table, decide how many you want, divide, and that will tell you how wide each will be. They are basically the same shape and size and are stitched together. I'd just create my own snowmen and follow the image they've given to create scarves and noses. I'd use small black beads for the eyes though.
According to their Etsy site:Pattern to create the 11.5" x 42" table runner.
what are the measurements of the snowmen tavle runner?
like to see the snowmen like to see this
I love this - what a fun idea and your snowmen are stunning.

Reports say longtime politician Yves Ryan passed away last night at the age of 85 at Hôtel-Dieu hospital. A heart condition is reportedly the reason for his passing.
Ryan served as mayor of Montreal North from 1963 until 2001.
He was a very popular figure within his city, often running unopposed and never losing an election until the city mergers he firmly opposed.
He was former Quebec Liberal leader Claude Ryan's younger brother.

not much of a breakfast
Very clean and quiet, no frills kind of place. Would definitely stay here again.
Nothing fancy, and furnishings are well-used, but the staff was great, the location was perfect for walking to/around the plaza and it has a lovely, restive courtyard - all at a decent rate. We were pleased, especially with the memory-foam mattresses!
This used to be a fairly nice hotel. The grounds are large and the rooms are really old, with little done to update them. The cable connection for the room was duct taped to the floor and ran across the room! Never saw that before. It's just old and ready for a tear down or serious remodel. But cheap!
Door had a Crack in it. Toilet leaked. Room smelled funky. Found a bug on my pillow. Needs improvement. Renovation. But it had comfortable beds and the price was good until hotels.Com added Fees. Could have gone to Days Inn for same price possibly better room.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

BOPA Committee would like to congratulate Jackie Lewis on her award
Unafraid to explore areas traditionally outside the remit of community pharmacy, Lewis Pharmacy has made a huge difference to its local community. Its service to cancer patients is a prime example of this approach. Despite cancer typically being the domain of secondary care, the pharmacy team has been determined to make a difference to this group of patients. Not only does it offer in-depth MURs to customers on cancer-related medication, it has also worked with the hospital, local charities and GPs to offer a seamless network of support.
Well done Jackie!Read More

Women's Tennis Ends Regular Season with 6-0 Victory Over Robert Morris
April 10, 2012
MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. - The Duquesne women's tennis team ended its 2012 regular season with a 6-0 victory over Robert Morris on Tuesday. With the win, the Dukes finish the campaign 12-8 overall heading into next week's Atlantic 10 Championship.
DUQ did not drop a set the entire match while sweeping all six singles matches. Due to weather, the double point was not played.
Vanessa Steiner picked up her 18th singles victory of the year and improved to 11-2 on the season at the #1 spot after defeating Carolina Mourao Teixeira 6-3, 6-4.
Both Megan O'Sullivan, Judy Li and Tara Majdalani were 6-1, 6-1 winners at #2, #3 and #5 singles against Clarissa Chen, Samantha Alves and Ekaterina Rudneva respectively.
Chandler Consonery made short work of Carla Limon with a 6-1, 6-2 victory at #4 singles. Elise Carter saw her first action of the year, playing at the #6 position. The freshman from South Park, Pa. won a hard-fought 6-4, 6-4 battle over Kourtney Passero.
The 12 win for Duquesne is the most since they had 13 in 2008 and marks the 10th time head coach Joe Camillo has recorded a .500-or-better season.
The seeds for the 2012 Atlantic 10 Women's Tennis Championship will be released on Tuesday, April 17.

The Sound of Philadelphia was one of alarm yesterday when a fire, which broke out at Philadelphia International Records, was later determined by officials to be "suspicious."
"It's a shocker that someone might want to do this purposefully," said Chuck Gamble, executive vice president of Philadelphia International Records. "Especially given what the Sound of Philadelphia means not only to people in this city, but around the world."
Fire broke out at 7:28 a.m. in the building on Broad and Spruce streets - where legends such as Patti LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass and Michael Jackson have recorded.
The fire was confined to the third floor, where the company's recording studios and executive offices are housed, said Gamble, who is the nephew of Kenny Gamble, half of the legendary producing team Gamble and Huff.

""Semper Fidelis"" Chappo by spartan
Chappo Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 11 photos
Of all the Marine Corps bases throughout the world, Camp Pendleton has one of the most intriguing pasts, filled with historical charm and vibrancy. Spanish explorers, colorful politicians, herds of thundering cattle, skillful vaqueros and tough Marines have all contributed to the history of this land. In 1769, a Spaniard by the name of Capt. Gaspar de Portola led an expeditionary force northward from lower California, seeking to establish Franciscan missions throughout California. On July 20 of that same year, the expedition arrived at a location now known as Camp Pendleton, and as it was the holy day St. Margaret, they baptized the land in the name of Santa Margarita.During the next 30 years, 21 missions were established, the most productive one being Mission San Luis Rey, just south of the present-day Camp Pendleton. At that time, San Luis Rey Mission had control over the Santa Margarita area.
In 1821, following Mexico?s independence from Spain, the Californios became the new ruling class of California, and many were the first generation descendants of the Portola expedition. The Mexican governor was awarding land grants and ranchos to prominent businessmen, officials and military leaders. In 1841, two brothers by the name of Pio and Andres Pico became the first private owners of Rancho Santa Margarita. More land was later added to the grant, making the name Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores, and that name stayed with the ranch until the Marine Corps acquired it in 1942. In 1863, a dashing Englishman named John Forster (Pio Pico?s brother-in-law) paid off Pico?s gambling debts in return for the deed to the ranch. During his tenure as owner of the ranch, he expanded the ranch house, which was first built in 1827, and developed the rancho into a thriving cattle industry. Forster?s heirs, however, were forced to sell the ranch in 1882 because of a string of bad luck, which included a series of droughts and a fence law that forced Forster to construct fencing around the extensive rancho lands. It was purchased by wealthy cattleman James Flood and managed by Irishman Richard O?Neill who was eventually rewarded for his faithful service with half ownership. Under the guidance of O?Neill?s son, Jerome, the ranch began to net a profit of nearly half a million dollars annually, and the house was modernized and furnished to its present form.
In the early ?40s, both the Army and the Marine Corps were looking for land for a large training base. The Army lost interest in the project, but in April of 1942 it was announced that the rancho was about to be transformed into the largest Marine Corps base in the country. It was named for Major General Joseph H. Pendleton who had long advocated the establishment of a West Coast training base. After five months of furious building activity, the 9th Marine Regiment marched from Camp Elliot in San Diego to Camp Pendleton to be the first troops to occupy the new base. On Sept. 25, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt arrived for the official dedication. Camp Pendleton is proud of its colorful heritage and has been careful to preserve the past, as reflected in the home of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force?s commanding general, which is now a National Historic Site (Courtesy the United States Marine Corps).

We are all aware of the typical phases of a woman's life: childhood, puberty, childbearing, motherhood, menopause, old age, and death. These phases may be difficult or uncomfortable to endure but are regular steps in a woman's life. The first several of these changes, from puberty to motherhood, are often regarded positively and with excitement. But once these phases have passed, many women become frightened and depressed over what comes next. Menopause, the cessation of a woman's menstrual cycle, means that she no longer has the ability to have children. Although disappointing for many, menopause should not be regarded as an end but rather as a continuation of the natural cycle of life.
Menopause itself involves phases. Perimenopause is the transition into menopause, and it occurs when the ovaries gradually begin to produce less estrogen. This phase begins anywhere from 10 years to several months before menopause is fully reached. Marked by irregular periods, perimenopause usually occurs between age 40 and 50. This phase ends when a woman has had no period for 12 months. At this time, she has reached menopause.
The side effects of perimenopause are similar to those associated with menopause: fatigue, hot flashes, breast tenderness, worsening of premenstrual syndrome, vaginal dryness, discomfort during sex, decreased libido, frequent urination, difficulty sleeping, and mood swings. To relieve some of these symptoms, a woman may take low-dose birth control pills as hormone therapy. The hormones in these pills help to stabilize the varying levels of hormones within the body. Taking steps to improve overall health and wellness by exercising, eating nutritious foods, avoiding smoking and alcohol, taking supplements, reducing stress, and resting may also alleviate these symptoms.
Although perimenopause means a decline in a woman's fertility, this phase does not make pregnancy impossible. Infertility is only reached at menopause, when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs. To avoid pregnancy, a woman should continue using some form of birth control until her period has stopped for one year. Pregnancy during perimenopause is difficult, however. Perimenopausal women who wish to get pregnant may choose to look into fertility treatments and techniques to counteract the decline in estrogen.
Changes in a woman's reproductive system and hormone levels cause perimenopause and menopause. As a woman gets older, her egg supply decreases and the eggs that do remain grow older, and ovulation becomes less frequent. As she approaches her 40s (or earlier for some), she will begin to notice an irregularity in her period. During this time, a woman's body produces less estrogen and progesterone until the levels of these hormones drop so low that the menstrual cycle stops altogether. It is important to remember that the term "menopause" applies to the point in a woman's life at which she hasn't had a period in a year. It marks the end of her childbearing years. By the time a woman has reached 50, she has most likely completed this transition.
Treatment for menopause is not necessary unless there are specific symptoms that are particularly bothersome. As with perimenopause, menopausal symptoms can be addressed by lifestyle modifications. Eating a nutritious diet, exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and stress are all effective in easing symptoms. Other methods such as breathing exercises, herbal remedies, and yoga have helped many women deal with their discomfort.

DA: Philly priest abused boy after mom sought help
PHILADELPHIA -- A former altar boy testified Thursday that he thought he was molested by a Roman Catholic priest as punishment for being gay.
He said he tried to hang himself at age 11 as he struggled with guilt over the alleged 1997 encounter.
"I remember trying to hang myself a lot. ... Probably every week," the young man testified in a Philadelphia courtroom in the trial of the Rev. Andrew McCormick. "I couldn't deal with the guilt of what had happened, or what I am."
McCormick, 57, is the latest Philadelphia priest to go on trial for long-ago alleged encounters, a result of updated state laws that give victims more time to come forward. He has pleaded not guilty.
The accuser is now 26 and works in management for a high-end design label. He said that he was sexually assaulted after serving Mass one evening, on a "Holy Day of Obligation," when Catholics must attend Mass.

Now I can not find a Trainer that will work with my game.
I down loaded the 2.03 GOLD (STEAM)trainer, I followed all instructions but nothing changed -no unlimited gold or resources, and when I tried to use the road tool the game would crash. Once the trainer was shut down and removed I was able to use the road tool.
I also tried downloading the 1.04 trainer and ended up with four infected files on my computer. I run my spywear program every night just before I shut down my computer so I know that there were no infections prior to downloading that trainer.
I tried the 1701 Sunken Dragon Trainer but it does not work.
I get the voice message that the tainer is activated, also that the gold etc is activated, but nothing changes in the game.
Can you please help me find a trainer that will work
The game name on the DVD holder is 1701 A.D. Gold Edition
and as I said there are two disc, 1701 and Sunken Dragon.
Thank you

All Articles Tagged "Hurricane Sandy"
Communities Of Color Still Struggling To Rebuild After Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy occurred more than a year ago but many lower-income residents in the eastern area of the Rockaways in New York City's borough of Queens have been struggling to rebuild–and their struggles has gone relatively unnoticed.
The media focused most on the problems of the upper-middle-class neighborhoods of the western Rockaway peninsula and the controversy over allocation of Sandy relief aid in New Jersey, while lower-income areas, which are mainly African-American and Latino, have been left without enough resources to get back on their feet following the super storm.
"Critics say government agencies have failed to support the lower-income communities in the Rockaways…," reports theGrio. New York City Councilman Donovan Richards, who represents parts of the Rockaways, helped pass Sandy Tracker legislation last year, but even he says federal funds have still been slow to reach his constituents in need. "This was the Ninth Ward," Councilman Richards told The Grio, referring to the poor, Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina that took years to rebuild.
While FEMA did offer aid to New York residents, many of those in lower-income communities of the Rockaways are renters and did not have the economic means to meet FEMA's criteria, say sources.
FEMA however insists it has helped "tens of thousands of Sandy survivors who are homeowners, renters and neither of the two."
When contacted by The Grio, new NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio's office pointed the "Build it Back" initiative offering assistance to displaced New York City residents. But sources claim this effort was slow to implement help during Bloomberg's tenure as mayor.
"It is worth noting that Build it Back is the last recovery option in a series of City-sponsored initiatives," a spokesperson from Mayor de Blasio's office told The Grio. "We helped restore heat, hot water and electricity to more than 12,000 residences within 100 days of the storm – assistance totaling $650 million––at no cost to storm victims. Further, the city created its own hotel program to house displaced storm victims, completely independent of FEMA's hotel program (which, it is important to note, has its own rules)."
For some residents it was hard to obtain vital information about all the available resources, another hindrance to rebuilding after Sandy. Question is how much longer people are expected to wait for help they need.

When natural disaster hits, in an ideal world there wouldn't be inequities when it comes to relief aid. But that just isn't the case, as data from Hurricane Sandy seems to illustrate.
Latino and African-American residents applying for two major Sandy relief programs may have been unfairly turned away. According to local housing rights organization Fair Share Housing Center (FSHC), it has obtained data from the Christie Administration proving just this. The data shows that black and Latino applicants were denied by the state at higher rates than their Caucasian counterparts.
The FSHC says 35 percent of African-American applicants and 18 percent of Latino applicants applying to the Homeowner Reconstruction, Rehabilitation Elevation and Mitigation (RREM) program were rejected by the state, reports NBC Philadelphia. But only 13 percent of Caucasian applicants were denied from the same program.
Also, FSHC reports that 38 percent of African Americans and 20 percent of Latinos who applied to the Resettlement Grant Program had their applications denied while just 14 percent of Caucasians were rejected from the same program.
Now the Latino Action Network (LAN) and NAACP want an explanation from the Christie Administration on how he will rectify the situation. LAN president Frank Argote-Freyre and members of the New Jersey chapter of the NAACP examined the data along with FSHC and took note of inequities in both the amount of Latino and African Americans that applied for the programs, and the number of Latino and African-American residents who were approved to receive relief funds.
"Given the misinformation presented to the Spanish-reading community by the Governor's relief website, I think Governor Christie should explain what he intends to do to help those who were unfairly rejected or who missed deadlines due to the administration's neglect," Argote-Freyre stated in a press release. "We hope that this data, supplied by the Christie Administration itself, will help to shed light on why these programs are not working."
LAN is currently suing the Christie Administration alleging that info provided on the English version of New Jersey's Sandy recovery website was omitted from the Spanish version of the site.
"LAN says, due to the state's failure to properly advertise the programs—specifically to lower income communities—that there were only 849 Latino applicants and 878 African American applicants to the Resettlement Program, compared to nearly 18,000 Caucasian applicants," reports NBC. And only 432 Latinos and 485 African Americans applied to the RREM Program, versus more than 7,000 Caucasian applicants.
Firing back, New Jersey Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Richard E. Constable, III, Esq. claims FSHC manipulated the data, and called the accusations patently false.
He said, "To be absolutely clear, eligibility and qualification for the housing recovery programs were approved by the Obama Administration, are objectively based, and do not take race or ethnicity into account in any way whatsoever."
Constable says 44 percent or nearly half of the federal Sandy relief funding has "been obligated or is out the door to people in need" and that nearly three-quarters of those funds were distributed to low- or middle-income renters and homeowners.

NJ's Poor Overlooked In Superstorm Sandy Recovery, Many Still Waiting One Year Later
It's hard to believe it's been a year since Superstorm Sandy. Hard to believe because some of the devastated areas still haven't recovered. Superstorm Sandy left billions of dollars of damage in its wake up the East Coast. Today, there's a $26-million ad campaign declaring New Jersey "stronger than the storm." And on many occasions during the recovery, Gov. Chris Christie and federal officials, including President Barack Obama, have toured the state's ocean-side tourist attractions and communities with single-family homes. "But beneath the state's seemingly happy story of storm recovery lies what a group of fair-housing and civil rights advocates say is a series of ugly but important truths," reports The Root.
"Sandy shattered lives all over the state, up and down the income ladder," says Mike McNeil, who is chairman of the NAACP New Jersey State Conference Housing Committee. "The people hit — and I mean hit hard and still hurting — don't all own homes and businesses at the shore. But they aren't getting much help."
According to an analysis released last week by a New Jersey nonprofit, the Fair Share Housing Center, a disproportionate share of disaster-relief funds have been funneled to the state's moderate- and upper-income households and homeowners. Renters and low- to moderate-income families — in the state, who are mostly black or Latino — haven't experienced anything similar.
"I think we can say without question that officials in the states affected by Sandy did a lot better job getting people out of harm's way," says Kevin Walsh, a lawyer with the Fair Share Housing Center. "But I think in the recovery, the subsequent trauma, the disregard for the needs of so many poor and working families, and how many of those people happen to be black or Latino, is certainly similar to Katrina — disturbingly similar."
There have been complaints, of course. In April a group of nonprofit organizations — the Latino Action Network, the New Jersey State Conference of the NAACP and the Fair Share Housing Center — filed an official discrimination (fair housing) complaint against the Christie administration. The complaint was filed with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A second complaint followed this summer from the Latino Action Network, and in October it formally lodged its concerns with the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs.
There have even been lawsuits. In September the Fair Share Housing Center also filed a suit to force the administration to share what it believes should be additional public information about the people who have applied for, received and been denied storm-recovery aid.
The Housing and Community Development Network's own data found that about 47 percent of those affected by Sandy were renters — a disproportionate share of whom are black or Latino. However, New Jersey officials initially submitted much different information to the federal government in the state's initially request for storm-victim aid. For one thing, state officials used a method that counted a storm-damaged 100-unit apartment complex as just one or two addresses, instead of a place where hundreds of people may have lived before Sandy. So the government missed potentially hundreds of mostly poor people–leaving them literally in the cold when it came to recovery funding and housing.

Hearts As Large As Their Wallets: Celebrities Who Donated Big During Natural Disasters
Some celebrities are known for their philanthropic work, whether it be giving back to the community or volunteering their time for a specific cause. Here's a list of celebrities who dug deep in their hearts and wallets to donate big when a natural disaster struck:
When a catastrophic earthquake rocked the tiny Caribbean country of Haiti, it killed more than 230,000 and left millions more without a home. Former Fugees frontman Wyclef Jean was one of the first people who made their way down to his home country to help search for survivors. In addition to helping out physically, the rapper/producer used the power of social media to ask for help, raising more than $1 million for Yele Haiti with a single tweet. All of Jean's hard work would be overshadowed a year later when his charity came under fire for allegedly squandering millions of dollars in donations. Jean has since released a statement acknowledging the organization's mistakes and vowed to continue on. "The new and good news is that Yele, under new leadership, despite efforts to undermine its credibility and effectiveness, continues its mission to serve people in need."

Oklahoma's Republican Senators Opposed Money For FEMA, Assistance To Victims Of Hurricane Sandy
With Moore and surrounding Oklahoma cities and towns still reeling from the effect of what has been called "the biggest, most destructive tornado in the history of the world" (it's definitely among the worst), the area is still just trying to get a grip on the extent of the devastation. President Obama, almost immediately, signed a disaster declaration Monday night, and he's assured the people impacted that the country stands with them. With this action, The Huffington Post reports on the voting record of that state's two Senators, particularly as it relates to disaster relief. As it turns out, Sens. Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn, both Republicans and fiscal conservatives, voted against more funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and supported a plan to cut assistance to Northeast victims of Hurricane Sandy.
"In a December press release, Coburn complained that the Sandy Relief bill contained "wasteful spending," and identified a series of items he objected to, including '$12.9 billion for future disaster mitigation activities and studies,'" HuffPo reports. A spokesperson for Sen. Coburn says he would like to see the aid offset by other cuts. Those "offsets" were made in the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.
The article goes on to say that Oklahoma comes in third behind Texas and California for federal fire and disaster declarations.
"And despite their voting record on disaster aid for other states, both Coburn and Inhofe appear to sing a different tune when it comes to such funding for Oklahoma," the HuffPo says. Oh really?
FEMA is already in Moore, according to US News & World Report. The magazine says that colleagues may decide not to make any cuts in order to fund disaster relief, which would put the Senators in "the hot seat."

In The Eye of The Storm: Minority Homes Owners Affected Most By Hurricane Sandy
Minority and low-income families were hit the hardest by Hurricane Sandy, found an analysis of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) data. And the research shows that they continue to face the toughest challenges in recovering from the massive storm.
Of the more than 500,000 households who have registered for FEMA assistance, 43 percent have household incomes of less than $30,000 a year. In New York City, 52 percent of renters affected are people of color and in New Jersey – 56 percent, according to a press release.
The study was done by Enterprise Community Partners and NYU Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy.
"These data show that Hurricane Sandy was devastating to many low-income families and that many of them are likely to be still struggling to recover," said Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which has joined together with other civil rights organizations to express concern over the findings. "Given that low-income families in the NY-NJ region, who are more likely to be people of color, were already facing severe affordable housing shortages, FEMA and other federal aid for Sandy recovery must prioritize aid to these families and help them find housing that they can afford."
"When a natural disaster strikes these communities, the results are often even more devastating for the residents who have fewer resources and fewer housing options, this comes as a direct result of past housing policy," notes the Poverty & Race Research Action Council.
According to the data, among FEMA registrants in New York City owners are 62 percent white, 20 percent African-American, seven percent Asian-American, and eight percent Hispanic. Most renters are racial and ethnic minorities: a quarter African-American, 19 percent Hispanic, and eight percent Asian-American.
Many of those affected homeowners are facing the threat of foreclosure. The foreclosures are on hold right now. Since the storm, the Federal Housing Administration and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac placed moratoria on foreclosure filings and foreclosure sales on damaged homes until April 30, 2013. After this, more people–mostly homeowners of color–may lose their homes.

New York City Council Candidate Running On Hurricane Sandy Recovery Platform
Selvena Brooks, a communications specialist for the Service Employees International Union, is running for a vacant seat in the New York City Council's 31st District. The district covers the city's Far Rockaway area, which was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. In fact, Brooks is submitting paperwork to run as a "Rebuild Now" candidate, representing a party that's focused on the Sandy recovery effort.
The New York Observer's Politicker blog quotes a statement from Brooks: "I am asking for people's support on the Rebuild Now line, because we need strong leadership in not only rebuilding from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, but also rebuilding our education system, local economy and neighborhoods."
Brooks is one of a number of candidates running for the position, which became vacant when the previous official, James Sanders, left for the State Senate. A special election is set for February 19.
Parts of New York and the surrounding area are still coping with Sandy's aftermath, months after the storm hit in October. It was only last week that Congress approved a government flood insurance program that would pay out $9.7 billion to 120,000 victims of the storm. The measure passed overwhelmingly in the House and unanimously in the Senate. One of those who voted against the measure, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the former Republican Vice Presidential candidate, who said the flood insurance program is "insolvent," according to Bloomberg.
That vote followed a thorough blasting from fellow politicians, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
A vote for a larger relief package was cancelled on the 1st after fiscal cliff talks were finally resolved. The governors of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut had originally asked for tens of billions of dollars in aid.
There will be another vote on January 15, which would bring the aid total to $60 billion.

New York, New Jersey Congress Members Up In Arms After House Fails to Take Up Sandy Relief
Members of Congress from the New York and New Jersey area are livid over the House of Representative's failure to take up a bill that would send billions in relief to victims of Hurricane Sandy.
According to The New York Times, the Senate approved $60.4 billion in aid last week. But time ran out before the 112th Congress wrapped up yesterday with the fiscal cliff vote. So it has to wait until the 113th Congress, which gets started tomorrow.
Local lawmakers at the state and federal level have been on a tear today over the delay. A statement from Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Andrew Cuomo from New York says, "With all that New York and New Jersey and our millions of residents and small businesses have suffered and endured, this continued inaction and indifference by the House of Representatives is inexcusable." Here's more from a Christie press conference, in which the Governor takes it a little further.
Republican Rep. Peter King (NY) took to the House floor to openly blame House Speaker John Boehner, who Rep. King said, "walked off the floor and said for whatever reason that the bill was being pulled" after yesterday's tax vote. Speaker Boehner's office says a meeting will take place today at 3pm and a vote will take place this month, according to Politico.
Sen. Chuck Schumer also said today, point blank, that he was "angry" over the situation, lamenting that now, because of the wait for a new session, the "we're gonna have to start all over." His comments were joined by those of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.
Besides the fact that the fight over the fiscal cliff superseded any other legislative discussion, it's believed that the size of the bill was a hindrance. The $60-plus billion is actually less than what had been first suggested.
The money would be used, according to the Times, to " help homeowners and small-business owners rebuild from the storm; to repair bridges, tunnels and transportation systems; to reimburse local governments for overtime costs of police, fire and other emergency services; and to replenish shorelines."

Hurricane Sandy Relief: Money Raised From 12-12-12 Concert Ready For Distribution
Hurricane Sandy caused more than $42 billion in destruction. Many lives were lost and people left homeless. So the $50 million relief from the recent "12-12-12" Sandy benefit concert is more than welcome.
Although the organizers of the star-studded concert have yet to announce the total amount raised, they have said that the first installment of donations is ready to be distributed, according to Rolling Stone magazine.
The fundraiser for The Robin Hood Relief Fund included performances at New York's Madison Square Garden by Kanye West, Alicia Keys, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, the Who and Paul McCartney. The concert was broadcast on a number of television stations.
The money will go to various groups aiding victims of the late October storm that devastated parts of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, the Los Angeles Times reports. Money was raised not only through ticket sales but also sponsorships, merchandise, telephone and Internet donations, as well as online auctions of memorabilia and advance orders of a forthcoming live album, which hit number one on iTunes as a pre-order. In all, two billion people were said to have had access to viewing the event.
"The money raised to date is going right to hundreds of organizations in the tri-state area serving those who need it most," said David Saltzman, executive director of Robin Hood Foundation, in a statement. "Robin Hood has already begun granting the funds for Sandy relief. We are continuing to raise funds through various ongoing sales opportunities and donations and we urge people to continue to contribute."
Oh, Sandy: The Storm May Affect Holiday Airfares, But There Are Still Deals to Be Had
If you haven't booked your Thanksgiving flights yet, the tickets may cost you a little bit more this year. And the lingering efforts of Hurricane Sandy could be the reason. During the storm period, airlines grounded thousands of flights, causing them to lose revenue. In order to make up their losses, carriers might have to raise airfares.
Holiday travel prices were already expected to be most costly this year. "The average round-trip domestic airfare will be 4 percent to 9 percent higher than a year ago," reports Tulsa World.
United Airlines just announced that Sandy caused its October revenue to be cut by about $90 million and profit by $35 million because the carrier was forced to cancel nearly 5,300 flights. Traffic in October fell 3.3 percent. "That's nearly an entire day's worth of United's schedule lost. It runs about 5,500 flights a day throughout the world, including those operated by its regional partners," reports The Chicago Tribune.
Delta, too, was affected, and according to the Trib, the hurricane cut its October revenue by $45 million and profit by $20 million. Both airlines expect the negative impact of Sandy to continue through the month of November.
There are still a few deals to be found, Courtney Scott, senior editor of the online travel website Travelocity tells Tulsa World. According to Scott, the average round-trip domestic airfare this Thanksgiving is $386, including tax—but you can do better. How? Don't travel when everyone else is. "If you can adjust your travel dates, you can save as much as $288 on your Thanksgiving airfare. We recommend leaving on Thanksgiving Day and returning home on Friday, Nov. 23, or Tuesday, Nov. 27, to see the most savings and avoid the crowds at the airports," Scott explains to Tulsa World.

HERSHEY - In the movies, the underdog usually wins.
It's rare that the Hollywood ending plays out in real life. Such was the case for the Tyrone Area High School football team on Saturday. Lancaster Catholic's 17-7 victory over the Golden Eagles in the PIAA Class AA championship game lacked the feel-good finish of "Hoosiers'' or "The Natural.''
A better parallel to Tyrone's 2011 season could be found in "300,'' in which a small group of Spartan warriors held out valiantly before eventually succumbing to the overwhelming numbers of the Persian army.
As senior receiver Nick Patton hoisted the silver runner-up trophy to a roar of cheers from a sea of orange-and-black clad fans who filled up the home stands at Hersheypark Stadium, one had to wonder if the legacy of the vanquished might eclipse the memory of the outcome.
"We're the second best team of the state. We made it this far. They were just a better team,'' Patton said. "We didn't play our best in the first half, but we came back in the second half and played our hearts out. I don't know if we can do anything else. You have to be happy with what we have. You have to be happy.''
"We're not a very big group. We've battled odds all the way. But their effort was second to none,'' veteran Tyrone coach John Franco said. "It was not, by far, the most talented team I've ever coached, but I think it was the team that had the most heart, the most desire, gave the most of themselves. I think we got more out of this group than any other group, which says a lot, because we've had an awful lot of good ones.
"Even had we won, I don't think I could be more proud.''
Fresh off back-to-back years as district runners-up, the Golden Eagles came into the year having major questions about their lack of size and line play. They ended it with the second-most wins in team history and the school's third trip to the PIAA finals.
"I don't think anybody but us and our coaches thought we could make it here,'' fullback/linebacker J.D. Dorminy said.
Spearheaded by Patton and quarterback Steve Franco, they shattered the program's season records for passing, and, with Christian Getz toting the ball, the Eagles ran for even more yards, setting a new team mark for total yardage and finishing only five points behind the state-champion 1999 squad for scoring in a season.
"We just kept getting better and better as the season went on,'' senior safety Markus Wagner said. "The loss to Mifflin County [in overtime in week 2] set us back a bit. That proved we could be beaten. It made us work harder.''
Like those Spartans holding the Thermopylae pass against the Persians, the Eagles were an extremely tight-knit group. Many of them had been close friends since elementary school, and they picked up some other players like Wagner, Franco, defensive tackle Shaquille Williams and receiver/defensive back Charles Wilson-Adams who would turn out to be key performers as the moved into junior high.
"We're not even a team. We're brothers. We all get along,'' Dorminy said. "We're family.''
Sometimes, that's not just figurative speaking.
One of the interesting dynamics of the team was the father-son coach-quarterback combination. In some situations, that could have resulted in jealousy and dissension. It never seemed to be an issue with the Eagles, though, and made the run extra-special for both Francos.
"That's the best thing in the world,'' Steve Franco said. "You always have the goal of getting to Hershey. You never actually believe it until you do it. That I could do it with him and he could do it with me was so special. It's something I'll remember for the rest of our lives.''
Like Patton, it didn't take the younger Franco long to put aside the disappointment of the loss and start to take stock of the bigger picture: "I'm already starting to realize how much we accomplished.''
There were still tears, though, especially when the game ended up so close and Tyrone was 25 yards away from taking the lead in the final 3 minutes.
"I think it makes it harder,'' Dorminy said. "We have a lot to be proud of. Don't get me wrong. But I know how much every kid on this team wanted it. I know how much I wanted it. I put everything into it. That just makes it harder for me, because it's my last game ever.''
Maybe so. But Tyrone coaches will always be able to use the 2011 team as an example of what a group of players can do if they put their hearts and their minds to it. Sometimes, those kind of intangibles outlast trophies.
"We just came up a little bit short,'' senior defensive end Corbin Nevling-Ray said.

Gather the family and enjoy a weekend back in time - a time when cowboys and cowgirls ruled the West.
Enjoy musical entertainment on the Melody Ranch Stage with performances by Baxter Black, Hot Club of Cowtown, Don Edwards, Sons of the San Joaquin, R.W. Hampton, Joni Harms, Syd Masters and the Swing Riders, Sourdough Slim, Dave Stamey, Randy Pieman, Gary Robertson, The Booher Brothers and Joe Herrington.
The weather looks to be pleasant and perfect for strolling down the historic main street of Melody Ranch, the main street where HBO's "Deadwood" filmed, as well as a host of famous movies and television programs including "The Virginian," "The Lone Ranger," "Wyatt Earp," "Gunsmoke," "Hopalong Cassidy," "Annie Oakly," "Rin Tin Tin" and "The Cisco Kid."
Melody Ranch first opened in 1915 and Monogram Studios made 750 "B" westerns before selling the ranch to singing cowboy Gene Autry in 1952. Legendary cowboy actors, including William S. Hart, Gary Cooper, Tom Mix, Roy Rogers, Bill Boyd, and John Wayne filmed their westerns at the location until 1962 when a fire swept through Placerita Canyon destroying the main western street. The Veluzat brothers purchased Melody Ranch in 1990 and restored the famous western street.
Once a year the Veluzats open up the ranch to the Cowboy Festival and we can wander the same streets and sets as so many famous western actors.
The Cowboy Festival features five stages of entertainment, the California Music Stage, Heritage Stage, Melody Ranch Stage, Cowboy Corner and the Medicine Show Stage.
If you're feeling like you need some grub head over to the Gold Rush Food Court where the Cowboy Cultural Committee will be serving up the finest cowboy grub you've seen in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Also available will be Louisiana Gumbo, Dickey's BBQ, Sausage King, Siam Bar-B-Que, Maria's Catering, Bristol Farms and more.
On main street the saloon will be open again, after being closed for several years, and guests can imbibe a cold one, or two.
Watch the blacksmiths craft a horseshoe with your initials from their foundry on main street then catch Benny Martinez and his trick roping.
Mosey on over to the Buckaroo Book Shop and visit with John Boston, 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. You might even want to buy one of his pretty picturebooks on the history of the SCV and have him autograph it.
After Saturday's festivities at the ranch head over to Hart Hall at William S. Hart Park for "Art at Hart Quick Draw." Admission is $25 and guests will be able to tour the William S. Mansion and museum and see the priceless art and artifacts collected by Hart.
Return to Hart Hall and watch artists create works of art in under an hour that will be auctioned at evening's end. Tickets are $25.
Shuttle parking at Railroad Avenue and 13th Street in Newhall. Festival tickets are $20 each.
For more information about the Cowboy Festival and a schedule of events visit www.cowboyfestival.org.
