New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - November 15, 1996, New Braunfels, Texas Herald-Zeitung g Friday, November 15, 1996 □ 9 AAfter 25 years, Rothko Chapel is still an interfaith monument By MICHELLE KCMDIN Associated Press Writer HOUSTON (AP) — On a typical midweek day, a woman dressed in exercise clothes sits cross-legged on the tile floor of Houston's Rothko Chapel, her palms up, her eyes closed. She wipes away tears. Around her, 14 large dark murals take up most of the wall space in the octagon-shaped chapel. The paintings are monotonic, and lack the symbolism of any particular religion. That absence is the key. The Rothko Chapel, which turned 25 this year, is so small yet stands for so much — an understanding among followers of different religions, the blending of art and religion, an appreciation for protectors of human rights. * The unpretentious landmark on a tree-lined street in Houston's Montrose area comfortably holds no more than 200 people. Since its consecration in 1971, the chapel has been the site of interfaith weddings, baptisms, a bar mitzvah. It has served as a temple for Hindus and Buddhists, a mosque for Muslims. One of die city's premier tourist attractions, the Rothko Chapel has drawn visitors from all over die world, including the Dalai Lami. Many scribble in a guestbook their thoughts about how the chapel has touched them. "No images — but I see. No sounds — but I hear," writes one. "Such a jewel," another says. "The ability to finally know what I want to ask my God." It certainly isn't like that for everyone who enters the chapel, named for the late abstract expressionist painter Marie Rothko, who was asked to create a meditative environment. When it first opened 2 1/2 decades ago, it was viewed by many as an oddity. Here was a building with the status of a church, but without a steeple or cross. It contained paintings that had no religious representation. "The artsy people liked it very much, but the others felt, 'Well, what's this?' " says Nabila Drooby, the executive director. Even now, Mrs. Drooby can look out the window of her office next door to the chapel and see surprised guests as they exit. "A few days ago, I was watching here and I had three youngsters walk in and came out laughing," die says. "We often have reactions like this. People who do not know what to expect or don't know anything about it look on a list of monuments to visit, see the Rothko Chapel. You walk in, you see 14 dark panels and nothing else, lf you do not have a spiritual concern or an artistic sensitivity, what is this?" It was a vision of art patrons John and Dominique de Menil, who settled in Houston in the 1940s after fleeing Nazi-occupied France. They commissioned Rothko and architect Philip Johnson, who was building their home at the time. Out of a reflecting pool by the chapel's entrance rises Barnett Newman's "Broken Obelisk," dedicated to slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. "I very much believe that the chapel is the womb and the obelisk in front of the chapel is virility," Mrs. de Menil says. She chose Rothko to provide the sanctuary's only adornment because she liked his use of color and knew there would be no religious symbolism in the paintings. Rothko never lived to see the chapel. He committed suicide in 1970 at age 67. From the beginning, the de Mentis imagined a place where anyone would feel welcome. "The chapel is unique in the world because it belongs to no one and to everyone," says Mrs. de Menil, 88. "So many spaces that try to avoid being sectarian and being identified with any particular faith tradition, they lose a spiritual quality and it becomes simply a generic spaced' says the Rev. James Leach of Covenant Baptist Church. "Somehow what they've been able to achieve is a nonsectarian, spiritual space. That's a tremendous gift to the city." During the 1970s, the chapel evolved into a rallying place for the human rights causes close to Mrs. de Menil's heart. In 1981, the chapel celebrated its 10th anniversary by handing out human rights awards of $10,000 to 12 individuals and groups. Five years later, the $20,000 Oscar Romero Award was developed in honor of the murdered archbishop of San Salvador. Also in 1986, Mrs. de Menil and former President Jimmy Carter formed the Carter-Menil Human Rights Foundation to promote the protection of human rights around the world.

A. notes with pleasure the progressive trend in thinking and consequent legislative action within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Of special interest has been the increase in the com- mon school fund, and an insistence that further increase is impera- tive if the needs of education are to be met adequately. We note, also, the partial realization of certain objectives of the legislative program of the Association. The taking over of Lincoln Institute by the State, to provide high school training for Negro pupils living in communities where no secondary education was available to them, was the first significant accomplishment of recent years. The Lyman Johnson case, resulting in removal of the racial barrier to admission to the University of Kentucky, the recent modi- fication of the Day Law, authorizing institutions of higher learning which wish to do so to admit Negroes to courses not offered at Kentucky State College, brought nearer equality of educational op- portunity on the undergraduate, as well as the graduate level. A significant accomplishment during the recent legislative ses- sion was an amendment to the Regional Compact, as follows: "In its participation in the regional compact approved by Senate Resolu- tion No. 53 of the 1950 General Assembly, or in any other regional plan having a similar purpose, the Commonwealth of Kentucky shall not erect, acquire, develop or maintain in any manner any educational institution within its borders to which Negroes will not be admitted on an equal basis with other races, nor shall any Negro citizen be forced to attend any segregated regional institution to obtain instruction in a particular course of study if there is in operation within the Commonwealth at the time an institution that offers the same course of study to students of other races." Modification of the Day Law, and the agreement that the Region- al Compact will not provide racial segregation are two of the most significant occurrences affecting Negro education in recent years. These, along with increased appropriations for schools, should do much to raise the educational level, self respect and citizenship status of Negroes throughout the Commonwealth. The K. N. E. A. 3 has done only its duty in working for these accomplishments. It recognizes the valuable contributions made by many persons and organizations, both White and Negro, in bringing them about. There remain many problems-further improvement of higher educaition, preparation of Negro youth to meet the challenge of the new conditions, removal of the handicaps caused by segregation at the elementary level, and enough money to meet the educational needs of all youth within the State. But Kentucky is on the march, the idea of gradualism in solving racial problems is operating con- sistently, and ways and means to continue the advance somehow will be found. REPRESENTATIVE JESSE H. LAWRENCE One of the unsung heroes of the recent legislative session, yet one recognized as a strong legislator, is Mr. Jesse H. Lawrence, repre- sentative in Sincere, clear initiated into JESSE H. LAWRENCE the Kentucky Legislature from the 42nd District. thinking and possessed of convictions, Lawrence was Kentucky's Legislature last January. 4 A graduate of Central High School, Louisville, with an A.B. degree from Howard University and the M.S. degree from Indiana Uni- versity, a successful teacher in the field of social studies at Central High School and Madison Street Junior High School, Louisville, he had a background of knowledge and experience helpful in under- standing the problems of government. A football player at Howard Unlliversity, a coach of football at Louisville Municipal College, he knew something of human nature, strategy and poise, elements necessary in the game of politics as it is played in Kentucky. His cordial reception in Frankfort, his contributions to the work of the Assembly, the respect in which he was held by friend and foe, did much for interracial good will. He met the comment, "If all Negroes were like you . . . " with, "There are many more like me . . . there will be still others if we legislate wisely." Lawrence was an important factor in the passing of amendments to the Day Law and Regional Compact that were favorable to Negroes as citizens. On the floor of the House, during debate and passage of the bills, he maneuvered with the skill and diplomacy befitting a veteran, rather than a neophyte. His securing the cooperation of the Administration, and his ready sacrifice of personal publicity for the good of the cause he represented, were important elements in creating an atmosphere favorable to the legislation he sought. He has joined with former Representatives Charles W. Anderson, Jr. and Dennis Henderson in making history. The K. N. E. A. expresses gratitude to its former member, Representative J. H. Lawrence, of the Kentucky Legislature. Announcements Louisville awaits the 74th Annual Session of the K. N. E. A. All plans for the convention are completed. Short evening sessions, with dynamic speakers, qualified to bring challenging messages are scheduled. Excellent departmental meetings have been planned by interested teachers, many of whom have worked the year round in developing their programs. Some departments that have been inactive will reorganize during the convention. Social activities have been planned for the enjoyment of visitors and their friends. The Annual Musicale, always a high point in the convention program, *vill be better than ever this year. Louisville teachers and pupils will be having a spring vacation during the period of the meeting, therefore the customary visits to Louisville schools in session cannot be made. 5 FEATURES OF THlE PROGRAM Convention Dates: April 12-14, 1950 Convention Theme: "Exploring New Frontiers in Voca- tional Training and Vocational Opportunities."

Meyzeek, member of the State Board of Education, calls attention to the fact that many handicapped children are not taking advantage of the willingness of the State to rehabilitate them. There is set aside by the State each year $75,000 to rehabilitate children who are blind, deaf, crippled, or in need of artificial limbs. The United States Government appropriates two dollars for every dollar appropriated by the State, thus making available a reasonable amount of money for the purpose. Mr. Meyzeek asks that the names of handicapped children who should be aided fromn this fund be sent him at 1701 West Chestnut Street, Louisville 3, Kentucky. 6 K.J.E.A. Election The annual election of officers will be held Friday, April 14. This year all officers are to be elected. Mr. Whitney M. Young, who has given strong leadership two years, may not, according to the Constitution, succeed himself as president, nor may Messrs. W. B. Chenault and B. G. Patterson, first and second vice presidents, respectively. The secretary-treasurer, William H. Perry, Jr., is not a candidate for reelection. The terms of all directors, Robert L. Dowery, C. B. Nuckolls, Victor K. Perry and E. W. Whiteside, expire with this session. During the recent war period, when no elections were held, the practice of staggering the terms of directors was lost, due to the fact that those whose terms would normally have expired had to continue until the next election. There are many interested, able men and women in our Associa- tion. After the election the affairs of the organization will be in largely new, but thoroughly competent hands. You are cordially invited to attend K. S. C. COLLEGE NATIONAL ALUMNI FELLOWSHIP PROM Honoringt The K. S. C. Faculty, Alumni of other Colleges and K. N. E. A.

PERRY Retiring Secretary-Treasurer With the Kentucky Negro Education Association next month, I shall complete eight years of service as your secretary-treasurer, and shall not be a candidate for reelection. I wish, therefore, to take this means of expressing the pleasure I have enjoyed in this office. I am grateful for the fine contacts that were made and con- tinued in person and by mail, and am impressed with the sincerity and professional spirit of the teachers, principals and superintendents of the State. A real interest in educational progress has been evi- dent from the one-room school to the institutions of higher learning, and this office has been pleased to be a means through which some small degree of its expression could be made. It has been my privilege to serve under Presidents H. E. Goodloe, W. 0. Nuckolls and Whitney M. Young, as our Association has con- tinued its forward march under their leadership. The meetings with them, the Boards of Directors, and, in recent years, with the District Presidents, ha e been occasions of stimulation and value. 8 Although the duties have been pleasant, they have been heavy; a full time secretary could be kept busy. More time is demanded than I can hereafter give with justice to the increasing demands of my own school work and health. I consider it a special honor to have served this Association, which my father, W. H. Perry, Sr., served in its early years as president, and later as secretary. I pledge to my successor any assistance at my command which may aid him in the development of this historic organization. -WILLIKM H. PERtY, JR. VICTOR KENT PERRY K. N. E. A. Director 1935-1950 Mr. Victor Kent Perry, teacher of Physics at Central High School, Louisville, has served faithfully as a director of the Association continually since 1935, except for his period of service in the United States Army. He has the distinction of being one of the few class- room teachers to hold membership on the policy making body of the Association, and has made valuable contributions to its deliberations. Mr. Perry, in declining to be a candidate for reelection, expresses his deep interest in the program of the Association, but feels that other persons should have opportunity to direct its affairs. 9 THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER Lincoln Institute Lincoln Ridge, Kentucky My dear Friend and Educator: Now that I am about to give up the reins of the Presidency of the K. N. E. A., I thought it my duty to express a personal word of thanks to the principals of the State and through them to the teacb- ers for their generous support and cooperation at all times. Several things have happened of real significance during the past two years which I think will remain long after this administra- tion has passed out. (1) Report of our Resolution and Legislative Committee was a history-making document which gave a broad outline for the Asso- ciation to follow for many years to come. It was not the work of any one man, but the combined efforts of many persons of wide experience and sound training. I would like to congratulate Presi- dent R. B. Atwood, who acted as chairman of the committee. (2) Bringing past presidents to the city of Louisville and provid- ing entertainment for them during the week of the K. N. E. A. was a step in the right direction. Gratitude is the noblest of all virtues. In this act we expressed our appreciation for the services of our past presidents. (3) Organizing the District Presidents into a functional orgalniza- tion and having them to meet with the Board of Directors twice a year has provided the leadership of the Association with first hand information as to the thinking of the teachers in the various districts. We have met with the Presidents at least four times and it will be impossible to estimate the value of their services. It is to be hoped that this policy will be continued. (4) The Legislature has been in session and perhaps it might be said, with a degree of accuracy, that this past session has been a stormy one in so far as education is concerned. Two important measures have stood out: (a) The amendment of the Day Law so as to admit Negroes to attend any college, professional or trade schools in the State, pro- vided the governing body so approved. 10 (b) The fight for an increase in salaries. It is common knowledge that the amount provided in the budget is twelve million dollars short of what most of the teachers had anticipated. In the long, bitter struggle to have the amount increased, your officials had been actively on the job; not trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip, but from the very beginning we have recognized the need for a long range tax program which will provide the necessary funds. It seems that we have achieved this objective. Some of the State officials and representatives are now asking that a committee be appointed to look into the whole matter. Our Association has not accepted the leadership of any other organization. We have done our own thinking and provided our own lobbyist so that the interest, not only of our own group, but all groups would be fully protected. We have attended all of the important meetings and all of the im- portant sessions at the Capitol. (5) The K. N. E. A. waged a long, hard-fought battle to procure adequate appropriations for the three state schools. While those appropriations did not satisfy everyone, I think it can be said with- out contradiction that we are a long way from where we were two years ago. The K. N. E. A. is a highly respected organization. We have done our job without waving a red flag in the face of anyone. We have believed in getting the facts and presenting the facts in such a way as to win over the right thinking pcople in our State. (6) The last important battle has been to wipe out the idea of segregated regional schools. A delegation from Louisville waited upon the Governor and Lieutenant Governor and other leaders and succeeded in getting consent to write an amendment to the resolution which had been prepared for presentation to the Gen- eral Assembly. This one act can mean more to the Negro youth of our State than any other single act that has come before our Legis- lature since the passing of the Day Law. It is to be hoped that in the years that lie ahead young men of great courage and inspired vision will carry forward the program of our Association. I am certain that they will be tested and only the faith of Job will bring a full measure of success. In closing, I wish to thank you and all others who have helped me and the other officers of our Association during the past two years. I am wishing for my successor, God's greatest blessings. Very truly yours, WHITNEY M. YOUNG, President 11 Who's Who on the KA.E.A.

The first gaming machines are being installed in The Quarter at the Tropicana Casino and Resort, the initial phase of a test run that if successful could see gaming expanded to additional areas in the shopping and dining location.
Two $5 and $10 blackjack machines were stationed in front of the fountain in the open plaza section of The Quarter, in front of restaurants Cuba Libre and Red Square. Eight penny slots will be added along the wall and staircase, said Tropicana President and CEO Tony Rodio. The machines are expected to be ready for gaming beginning Friday.
The initial reviews by passers-by, however, were mainly negative.
"I think it's out of place," said Joe Renders of Toms River. Marie Dugan of Ocean City walked by Rodio to say that "You're spoiling the ambience of The Quarter! I don't agree with what you're doing."
Betty Carpenter of Pringle, Pa., meanwhile, said the addition of the machines was "great."
"Everyone passes through here," she said. "And it's so pretty now too, especially with the holidays."

Ely Winter Festival: We Have Snow and Are Ready to Go!
Although it was touch and go, due to a community "snow drive" and some help from Mother Nature, the Ely Winter Festival has enough snow for all their 20 large snow blocks for carving by visiting and local sculptors February 2-12, 2012.
The cornerstone of the Festival is the International Snow Sculpting Symposium in the town's Whiteside Park with 20 smaller "amateur" blocks and 20 large "expert" blocks, each carved by a three-person team. "We were a little worried about having enough snow," said Chris Ellerbroek, co-director of the Symposium. "But due to the local residents, businesses and city employees bringing snow to the park, plus some help from Mother Nature, we have all the blocks filled with snow and ready to be carved."
Alongside the carvers in the park is an authentic Voyageur Encampment, with the participants in historic garb camping outside over the three-day weekend.
The downtown area of the town becomes a veritable art gallery, as merchants clear their windows to display local artists' works in the Ely ArtWalk, which also runs over the 10 days of the Festival. Over 450 pieces of art by 120 artists were displayed in 2011 and.
The Festival kicks off with the "Snow Carvers Jam" on Thursday night, February 2, at the Ely Steak House. Local musicians get together for a night of shared musical fun. Sometimes, the visiting snow carvers join in.
The Ely Community Foundation hosts a Spaghetti Feed on Friday evening, February 3, benefitting local area residents in need.
During the day on Saturday, February 5, is the NLAA crafts fair, a fish fry at Veterans-on-
Also on Saturday, Vermilion Community College holds an open house, the Dorothy Molter Museum is open for visits and the Ely ArtWalk holds its Artists' Meet and Greet at the Chocolate Moose.
Saturday night is the debut of both a new dance and a new venue. Ely Rotary presents the first annual Polar Bear Dance from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM at the brand new Amici's Event Center Raffle items will be available, including a wall of wine and a pyramid of beer, and proceeds benefit community projects, including the Winter Festival. The dance is an adults-only event.
Both Sundays of the Festival, Northern Lights Lodge hosts dog sled rides for the whole family. The Amateur Snow Carving Contest is judged on Sunday morning, February 6.
The second weekend of the Festival is packed with events as well. For outdoor and history enthusiasts, on Friday morning, February 10, Outward Bound guides a group to the Hegman Lake Native American Pictographs by snowshoe. This is especially meaningful this year as the pin design is based on the pictographs themselves.
Also on Saturday, an ice-fishing contest and "radar run" snowmobile event. Twin Metals Minnesota is also holding an open house at their new facilities.
Saturday night, February 11, the Dorothy Molter Museum will be holding a fundraising dinner at Grand Ely Lodge. Silent auction and raffles are offered with proceeds benefitting the Museum Foundation.
On Sunday, February 12 at 2:30 pm in the Washington Auditorium, the Mesabi Community Orchestra presents a romantic-themed concert with guest solo pianist Alexander Sandor featuring Sibelius' Finlandia, Tchiakovsky'
Festival pins, T-shirts, beanies, brochures and information will be available during the Festival at their Headquarters, the Front Porch Coffee and Tea Co., which has free wi-fi for customers' laptops and computer rental time available, as well as organic hot beverages and light, healthy food.
Up-to-the-minute details on events and Festival news can be found on the Festival's website ElyWinterFestival.com. Of special interest is the gallery, containing video and still shots of past years' snow sculptures. A web cam of the park and the snow sculptures is also available on the site during the Festival.

"When I first walked through the course and saw how steep it was, I knew it was going to be a challenge. With every run I took today, I learned more. Snow is like water; it has a mind of it's own and it's continually changing. You really need to work with the mountain to keep control," said Johnson. "Today was a dream come true, freestyling on a mountain with my Pro-4 race truck."
Helping Johnson and his rig up the 30 degree black diamond Yard Sale run were specially designed 1/2 inch spiked BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KR tires, which were used to provide additional traction against the steep incline. Fighting against an engine that hates the cold, less responsive shocks and a transmission that needed an hour of "getting ready" time, the Pro-4 racing truck proved to be the little engine that could. Looking for an extra challenge, Johnson requested an extra jump built below Yard Sale's crest, which sent him airborne over the top in an epic conclusion of an unforgettable challenge.
Not to be tried at home, Northeasterners can now rejoice, the Green Mountains of Vermont aren't just for traditional winter sports anymore.

text: You head north and, steadily, the number of trees begin to increase until you find yourself standing in a jungle! Judging by the thick, wet-smelling air here and the trees that tower well over a hundred feet, you'd say that it rains heavily here and often. Orchids the size of dinner plates and in every color imaginable scale the tree trunks and curly-leafed ferns dominated the floor of the forest. Strange animal calls reverberate through the the jungle and every so often, the branches above you rustle, but you are always to late to catch a glimpse of the source of the noise. You hear the sound of water flowing to the north.

The scale of the operation was revealed as the Met said they were seeking 400 suspects in Wandsworth alone.
The scenes of destruction were repeated across 22 boroughs in three nights of the worst public disorder seen in the capital.
CCTV images exclusively revealed in the Standard today show 100 people looting and rioting in south London. Many are women, some filmed clutching stolen goods.
Commander Steve Rodhouse said: "My message to those involved in the disorder and criminality is that you will not get away with it.
"We have a huge team working on this and we will find you." So far the Met has arrested 2,590 suspects and more than 1,500 have been charged.

Images of dozens of riot suspects wanted for questioning in connection with some of the worst scenes of looting and disorder witnessed in London have been released by police.
They are among the biggest single release of CCTV images of suspects by police so far.
Detectives revealed that they are hunting as many as 400 suspects who looted more than 100 shops in Clapham, Putney, Balham and Tooting over three days last month.
The most serious violence took place near Clapham Junction on Monday, August 8 when mobs of hundreds of people rampaged through the streets.
Around 92 shops in the area were damaged and looted and 300 suspects broke into Debenhams grabbing armfuls of goods worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Many of the images released today show women clutching goods looted from shops including Currys and JD Sports. Others show suspects struggling to carry flat-screen TVs and electrical goods stolen from Currys.
Among them is also a grainy black and white image of a black man wearing a long coat and hat who is being sought in connection with an arson attack on the Party Superstore, Lavender Hill.
Earlier many young looters stole masks from the same fancy dress shop to hide their identities.
The store was set alight during the height of the disorder and four occupants of flats above were lucky to escape as flames quickly spread through the building.
The ferocity of the rioting caught police off guard and it was around three hours before riot officers were deployed.
Police have evidence that mobs from neighbouring boroughs such as Lambeth, Croydon and Sutton travelled to Wandsworth after hearing that officers had lost control.
Officers armed with baton rounds were on the streets but in the end armoured vehicles known as Jankels were driven at speed at the mob to restore order.
The new appeal comes as the number of people arrested in connection with the riots across London reached 2,590. More than 1,500 have been charged.
Commander Steve Rodhouse, who is in charge of the investigation, said: "My message to those involved in the disorder and criminality is that you will not get away with it.
"We have a huge team working on this investigation and we will find you."
He said police had received "fantastic support" from the public but he added: "We still need help to identify those who were responsible for the crimes that blighted London's communities last month."

2014 Clark Scholarship Finalist – Essay 2
We were very poor when we got engaged. My husband and I both saved up for the engagement ring, and when it came time to buy it, we thought we had 'enough' on our meager Private E-1 salaries. We went in and discovered that there was a world out there about which we just had no clue. We bought the simplest ring, in a modest size, but went for the quality and cut. Ten years later, we added two trillion cut diamonds, also modest, to compliment the original diamond. My aunt had a star sapphire ring as an engagement ring. She had insisted on not wanting a diamond, citing that it was it a relatively modern invention and marketing campaign. She was also very aware of provenance, not wanting a gem that was tainted by illegal or unethical practices. We fell victim to the marketing, and never considered the depth and meaning of the other gemstones.
Much later in our lives, my husband returned from Afghanistan, and brought me a birthday present. As I sat on the porch, on the edge of a hay field in the golden light of a late Wisconsin evening, he laid a pillowcase over my lap, much to my bemusement. Then, he handed me a small bag, a fake velvet with the plastic insides, tied with a leather cord. I opened it, and three star sapphires, perfect ovals, slide out into my hand. They were gorgeous, and caught the light in such a way that the legs of the stars practically glowed. One was the size of my thumbnail, and heavy and gorgeous. It looked alive.
Another bag was dropped in my lap, and half a dozen sapphires, various cuts and colors, spilled out. My eyes filled with tears. They in no way represented a payback for the time apart, or made up for the distance and the drama of being geographically separated. Another bag fell from his hands, this time with rubies, mostly uncut; and another, emeralds. I couldn't see through the tears by the end, looking down at my lap with these indescribably beautiful bits of captured light in my lap that sparkled in the gloaming. I was holding a universe in my lap.
Every single one of them had a story.
"I bought the star sapphires when I looked up at the moon, and knew that it was at its fullest and you and the children were looking up at the same moon, calling it the Daddy Moon. You are my sun and my moon and my stars. I went looking for the gem guy the next day." We had the largest of the star sapphires made into a ring, called a Mary Magdelene ring, which has the sapphire in the center and seven yellow diamonds in increasing sizes, the largest centered at the bottom, for the seven petitions of the Lord's Prayer. I have no idea what I am going to do with the two 'smaller' star sapphires, other than perhaps have them made into earrings to match.
"I bought the rubies because that was a very hard day. They're the color of blood, but they're lit with a sort of inner fire. I got these to remember how lucky we are to have each other, and how quickly it can go away. They're supposed to represent passion. " I will have these made, eventually, when we've saved up enough money, into a piece for my daughter. Three of them are uncut, and two are cut. None of them particularly match, and certainly no pattern or design suggests its-self from their colors or cuts.
"I bought the emeralds because you told me that green was the color of fidelity, prosperity and loyalty. So many people in the war zone get caught up in these war time romances that are based on equal parts adrenaline from the danger and boredom from the routine. There's nothing to do there besides work, or work out. But if you're willing, Vegas rules apply. I wasn't willing, and I knew you weren't either. These reminded me that there was more to life than a war zone." Once again, they were a combination of cut and uncut. These will be for my son.
Some of the sapphires were of cuts and colors I'd never seen before. There were two purple ones, a peachy-pink one, a blue one and a greenish-blue one, all lovely, all cut. The sherbet colored one was round, with what I later learned was a checkerboard cut, which was mesmerizing. The purple squares were the most pretty, with the wide flat surface on top reflecting so much of the inside. "I didn't get these to protect you from evil, or to avoid poisoning, but sometimes the shapes or colors would make me pause and look. And anything that makes me do a double-take is something I want to share with you." When the light hits a sapphire, it has an unworldly quality to it.
When he was buying these jewels, something that can no longer be done by US citizens in Afghanistan, he bargained and bartered mightily, assuming that the gems were man-made, or otherwise altered, either synthetic or enhanced. When we took the stones to a gemologist, and specifically one that would store them for us as well, we discovered that more than half of the stones were natural and genuine. I would like to get at least two of them made into engagement style rings to give to my children, creating a family heirloom of sorts, when they wish to be engaged because they contain stories, and remind us of how the important parts of love cannot be captured in one jewel.

One of the main issues that the Canadian fashion industry has is division. The industry lacks unifying support between all major fashion cities in Canada. All cities must come together and within each city to have unity and support within ourselves. The industry is in need of something that breaks the vicious cycle of division and unites us all.
In 2013, Montreal said goodbye to its fashion week. In 2014, Ottawa did the same, and now a little over a month ago, Toronto has officially followed suit. How much longer are we going to wait for Vancouver to shut down their respective fashion week? But more importantly, how much longer are we going to allow our Canadian fashion industry to continue collapsing?


text: LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- We Know Beauty, the Los Angeles-based network of leading plastic surgeons, provides a full range of aesthetic and reconstructive services, including breast augmentation, tummy tuck, buttock enhancement, revision rhinoplasty, and lipsuction, to name a few. The medical group is currently comprised of six prestigious, extensively educated plastic surgeons. Each physician's focus is in different areas of cosmetic surgery. Dr. Andrew Cohen, for example, specializes in facelift, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, and abdominal contouring. The surgeons' varying expertise enables We Know Beauty to offer an array of topnotch beautification services, such as plastic surgery after pregnancy. In addition to the plastic surgery procedures like the mommy makeover, We Know Beauty is happy to present non-invasive, natural facelift treatments to the greater Los Angeles area. The best botox and facial fillers are available to our clients for complete rejuvenation of the face. Many men and women start to struggle with wrinkles and other skin problems in their 20s and 30s. Californians spend their recreational time outdoors, and as a result, the skin comes in contact with harmful UV rays. Consistent bad habits and stress leads to creases, uneven tone, blotches and other skin issues. However, a standard facelift surgery is not always necessary to correct these problems. We Know Beauty offers non-surgical treatments, sometimes referred to as the lunchtime facelift, to rid the face of these often small, yet troublesome imperfections. Botox, administered by the We Know Beauty doctors or nurses at one of the clinics, will eliminate the patient's frown lines for up to four months. The session is conducted in a matter of minutes, allowing the client to complete the medical visit during his or her lunch break. Daily tasks may be resumed immediately following the botox treatment. Botox effectively treats the wrinkles of the forehead, between the brows, and the marionette or smile lines around the mouth.

(Defunct) GT Saturdays - Weekly Event[ Edited ]
Held weekly at 3:00pm Eastern
It appears there is a consensus that this event is now concluded in its current form at least.
I'd like to thank all of those (hundreds of people) who have raced in this series over the years, and who have enhanced our lives (and mine specifically) by racing for over four years.
This was at one time one of the most successful, long-running events in the GT community, and has provided thousands of hours of enjoyment to fans of GT and friends, cross-cutting all of the competing forums, racing together in peace.
I'm personally proud this has been a place where people who may disagree on the forums, or have fueds with other forums, have gathered here to share the track on neutral ground. It has been an event which has facilitated the healing of groups that actually splintered from one another.
Thanks to all who have been invovled in planning the event and who have participated over the years. Also, a special thanks to Rated-M3 for helping to create this thing in the first place! Also also, thanks to the admins at SupaTunaGT.com for giving us a space to plan the weekly event, free of charge, and free of censorship or obligation to make it a "tuna" event. It should be known to all that they helped this event stay "neutral", even though we used their space to help plan it.
Good luck to all future event planners and attendees.
GT Saturdays is a community event open to anyone who is interested in clean, respectful racing among friends, old or new. We race from within the GT Saturday's Club lobby. After you READ OUR RULES posted below, send a FRIEND REQUEST to GT_Saturday at least an hour before race time. An invite will be sent to join the club prior to racing that week. If you send a FR, you're in!
Our goal is to provide both new and experienced racers a place to share the track. Occasionally, we'll run shorter races, but our focus is on longer races around 45min - 1hr in length with a short pre-race. This gives newcomers to organized racing a taste of what leagues and race series offer. We welcome all clean racers who would like to join us!

POST WITH GT SATURDAYS GRAPHICS (Page 89)
Our Racing Etiquette and Rules:
Participants should cooperate with these rules to the best of their ability. Enforcement of rules will be on an 'as needed' basis, and usually is not necessary for our regular racers.
Racing Cleanly:
(Note: We are currently experimenting with using penalties as a deterrant.) GT Saturdays races are usually run with penalties turned off, so we rely on self-moderation and review of replays to determine any foul-play. Conduct yourself honorably, and that's exactly how you'll be seen! Remember that the goal here is not always to win, but to have the people you're racing with actually enjoy racing with you!
Youtube videos may also be made from race replays, which can be entertaining for the community, but also realize your conduct will be shown on these replays too.
- No Cutting - Never intentionally cut corners or use run-off areas (paved or otherwise) as part of your lap strategy. We all miss the mark sometimes, but participants should always aim for staying on the track and making compromises to do so. In most cases, track boundaries are marked by white painted lines. Participants should keep at least two wheels inside or on the edge of those lines.
- Don't benefit from mistakes - If you have a situation where your vehicle exits the legal track boundaries or similar situation, you should make sure you lift off the gas or otherwise self-penalize an appropriate amount so that your car does not obtain a higher speed, a shorter track, take positions etc. You should also take the shortest and safest route back to the road and re-enter the track safely.
- Re-enter track safely - If your car exits the track, not only should you not benefit, but if approaching traffic would be hindered or harmed by your sudden re-entry, you should wait from the edge of the track until there is a safe time to re-enter. Pit stops should be done with similar care, both entering and exiting the pit row.
Racing Courteously:
- Avoid contact - Everyone makes mistakes and racing closely is going to result in some bumping, but those bumps should never be intentional or careless. Emphasis is placed on the passing car to avoid contact, understanding that the leading car has the prerogative to take their preferred racing line (this does not condone intentional blocking.)
- Don't gain from collisions - Give back positions. Simply put, if you take someone out, you should not gain any positions and wait for the person you wrecked to re-enter the track and then you should race WITH them until you can pass them cleanly.
- Wait for it... - Find the right time to pass. The longer format races we usually run allow enough time for a faster racer to eventually pass a slower one. Taking huge risks to make bold passes early on in a race are unnecessary and will cause problems on the track. Try to determine whether your pass is likely to cause the other car to hit you, for the simple fact that they assume you won't make such a careless move and try to put their car where you are trying to put your car. In that situation, the passing car has the responsibility to avoid contact at all costs! This is something that takes time to learn, so participants will not be expected to have perfect understanding of this concept at first, but should show an effort to improve.
- Who gets the racing line? No dive-bombing - If two racers are attempting to go through a tight corner, where a known racing line exists and that line starts wide and then cuts inside for optimal exit speed, the chasing car should never intersect that racing line if it is reasonable to assume it could cause contact with the leading car, who has the prerogative to chose their optimal line. If the chasing car does not have enough space and time to use an opening left by the leading car, AND avoid contact in the process, they will be at fault for any contact and should give the position back. Additionally, if a pass occurs from a significant bump, the position should not be kept.
- No intentional blocking/draft dodging - Taking an optimal racing line and preventing someone from passing is not intentional blocking. If a car is chasing and has clear momentum to pass, then you should not weave and should not block them from overtaking. If two cars are side-by-side going into a corner, then both cars have responsibility to avoid hitting the other. Similarly, if passing car has reason to believe they cannot complete the pass before the corner, it is often better to fall back and wait for a better opportunity. Remember, it's about having the people you're racing with continue to WANT to race with you.
- Slow down for wrecks - We do not use a caution system for most races. (If we do, it will be announced for races such as NASCAR or formula cars.) As such, we expect drivers to avoid causing additional problems when wrecks do occur. If the track is littered with cars and there is no clear opening, don't risk creating a bigger wreck by going off track to circumvent the existing wreck or do unsafe maneuvers you wouldn't do in a real race car. In other words, SLOW DOWN and pass through the area at a speed that will allow the race to continue with little or no additional problems. In even more words, you should not rely on wrecks as a way to sneak ahead to first place while cars in front of you are being appropriately cautious.
Race Room Etiquette - In most cases our races are run in a private lounge, where technically everyone has access to room settings and starting races. No one who is not on the planning committee or designated by said committee should change any room settings without permission.

Re: The New GT Saturday's Event Page.
May suggest RM's over RH's...?
RM's will allow you to push a little in the few corners, and will allow for some heat issues that will both affect tire wear and add a slight penalty for "over the top" tuning of the chassis. Hard's pretty much just wear... It'd be worth a test or two to verify at any rate, but any variable that can reward good strategy, set up and driving ability is better than a tire that wears pretty much the same regardless.
Just a thought.
Carry on.
Maybe I just still hate RH's. Almost as much as I hate RS's...
Re: The New GT Saturday's Event Page.
I felt like if people had different tires they would still be able to keep up for the most part with the numerous straights on the track. I'll think about it throughout the day and maybe a little testing tonight.
Dan if you have the time could you see how much of a time difference there is between the different compounds of tires. If you don't have the time then I understand.
Hope to see you out there saturday bud.
Re: The New GT Saturday's Event Page.
I can try... Currently trying to get the swelling on my jaw down and stay awake. I got lucky, the tooth came out whole, but there's been a lot more bleeding than there should be. Just got to keep it from infection and survive a liquid diet for a few days. The pain pills are pretty good though...
Speeds would be a concern with open choice... In my head I'd wonder about whether you'd have to pit too often with Softs, especially with so few "corners" to really take advantage of them. It seems you'd just wear them out on the straights. But I can see a good 20-30 second lap time difference, and the pit delta isn't horrifically long.
Hards may have an issue holding temps. It'll depend on DF, which because of the long straights you'll likely have turned down at least some. That'll mean the tires cooling off in a light car and then sudden braking for the chicanes. Hards don't handle that very well, they can go red in a hurry same as softs and can lose a bunch of wear from skidding while cool. I also find hards to just be too predictable both in wear and in constant sudden cold/hot/cold/hot/cold behavior. If they last long enough to heat up, they'll be OK, but Sarthe has such a vast difference in type of track depending on where you are I wonder if it's just an invitation to tire issues in a car that light and nimble.
The mediums will still give some grip while cold making the chicanes a bit less treacherous, and they still offer the penalty of overheating as the others do, but without the sudden hemorrhoidal like flare up. It tends to give you just enough time to react, which allows you to push that little bit when you have to. It also occurs to me that the RM's don't mind going red once, it's only after that they start giving slip and slide fits and accelerated wear. The RS and RH tend to start right off giving you issues.
As stickiness relates to heat more than ever, too much DF will make for almost white under stress, just at the lose grip point. That will come fast with RH and RS, but will take a little time with RM's. White tires are slippery buggers, and I must say I really hate the accelerated cold hot cold cycle that RS and RH tires can suffer. It's either ton o grip, no grip, ton o grip or no grip, sliding no grip and then no grip.
The downside is that it takes RM's longer to get rid of that condition, so it's a "live by the sword, die by the sword kind" of thing. As long as you take care of them, you can get extra laps out of RM's. Or you can go for broke and treat them like softs and change them just as often. It's more controllable by the driver and what he or she wants to accomplish as opposed to dictated to by the tires model being a little off.
I wouldn't even consider softs, they simply don't impress me at all. I'd rather race Sport softs than Race softs. Hards are like ice skating. You skate when they're cold, then you get some heat in them and you either lose it and skate or over heat them and skate. Either way it's an afternoon with Peggy Flemming. They just get hot way too fast or stay too cold and wear the same either way.
For me, RM's have always been choice because you have the benefit of both race tires with some unique wear and penalties the other 2 don't give you... Usually because they just wore away to quick from being too soft or too cold.
RM's have always felt like the most realistic representation of a real world tire to me. Sports softs and Meds are now that way too. Even Comfort softs feel pretty realistic to me now. They've come a long way since 2.0 even, but not quite there yet.
I'd slap a set of RM's on and see how many laps you can go. Then do the same with RH's. If they're anywhere close, RM's. If it's 2x the laps with hards, I'd go with RM's anyway just to make pit entry and exit and pit delta time a variable to contend with.
You know me.
Anything I can do to mess with only caring about the "driver" part and bring attention to the rest of the racing parts.
Re: The New GT Saturday's Event Page.
like the new thread.
thanks for taking the initiative crow
I'd like to continue to help out with GT Saturdays after taking a break, but not for a couple more weeksly, probably.
let's keep the legacy of this great social event going!
these are definitely slow months for gaming because of vacations and other things going on, and the forum change unfortunately in my opinion slowed down posting from regulars... I like the new format, but people aren't posting...
I'll try to be around on Saturday but I'm not sure yet.
