Bagnasco contro le false promesse elettorali: "Gli italiani non si faranno più abbindolare"
Il numero uno dei vescovi risponde a una domanda sugli impegni dei politici su fisco e condoni: "Bisogna guardare avanti partendo dal realismo", dice: "Gli italiani hanno bisogno della verità delle cose, senza sconti, senza tragedie, ma anche senza illusioni", perchè "la gente non si fa più abbindolare da niente e da nessuno". Così il cardinale Angelo Bagnasco, presidente della Cei, rispondendo a una domanda sulle promesse elettorali, tra cui quelle riguardanti fisco e condoni. Già aprendo il consiglio permanente della Cei, dieci giorni fa, il numero uno dei vescovi aveva detto un no netto e fermo ai populismi. Ora, alla luce della nuova ondata di promesse elettorali, il suo tono si fa più duro.
Bagnasco ha parlato a margine di un convegno a Roma del movimento cristiano lavoratori. Il porporato ha poi aggiunto che solo nella verità, "si potrà percorrere quelle strade che portano ai frutti per il bene del paese e della gente". Commentando quindi le parole di un editoriale odierno del quotidiano dei cattolici "avvenire" nel quale si affermava che i cattolici stanno ricevendo dai politici risposte vecchie e deludenti, il presidente della Cei ha detto che più che di una critica si tratta "di una spinta a superare il rischio e la tentazione di una politica vecchia. Bisogna, invece - ha aggiunto - guardare avanti partendo dal realismo anche perchè la gente - ha aggiunto - non si fa più abbindolare da niente e da nessuno".
Bagnasco against false campaign promises: "The Italians will become more duped"
The number one of the bishops answers a question the commitment of politicians and tax amnesties: "We must look forward from realism," says: "The Italians need the truth of things, without any discount, no tragedies, but also without illusions" , because "people are not fooled anymore by anything or anyone." Thus Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, president of the CEI, responding to a question about campaign promises, including those relating to taxation and amnesty. Already opening the permanent council of the CEI, ten days ago, the number one of the bishops had told no one standing at the net and populism. Now, in light of the new wave of campaign promises, his tone becomes harder.
Bagnasco spoke on the sidelines of a meeting in Rome of the Christian workers. The cardinal added that only the truth, "you can travel those roads that lead to fruit for the good of the country and the people." Commenting then the words of an editorial in today's newspaper of Catholics "the future" in which it was stated that the Catholics are getting old and disappointing responses from politicians, the president of the CEI has said that more than a criticism is "a boost to overcome the risk and temptation of old politics. should, however - he added - look forward from realism also because people - he added - There is no longer fooled by anything or anyone.

There is some lactose which makes it slightly sweet, but not unpleasant. I liked this better than I thought I would. There seems to be quite a shortage of craft stouts about at the moment. The local LCB store is unable to order anything that isn't in the warehouse, which does not seem to deter the private stores - although you do have to find someone who actually knows how to order!
It astonishes me that BC Liquor can stock an almost infinite amount of locally produced wines, but not locally brewed craft beers. The local store seems to have a huge stock of US mainstream brews, including tie-ins with local sports teams. But no commitment to connect BC residents with BC products that aren't wine!

Airmen of the 163rd EFS have been taking part in OAR to conduct training and familiarization events alongside the Slovak armed forces, a NATO ally. The U.S. presence in Europe and the relationships built over the past 70 years provide strategic access critical to meet the nation’s NATO commitment to respond to threats against our allies and partners.

USS Olympia (C-6/CA-15/CL-15/IX-40) is a protected cruiser that saw service in the United States Navy from her commissioning in 1895 until 1922. This vessel became famous as the flagship of Commodore George Dewey at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1898. The ship was decommissioned after returning to the U.S. in 1899, but was returned to active service in 1902.
She served until World War I as a training ship for naval cadets and as a floating barracks in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1917, she was mobilized again for war service, patrolling the American coast and escorting transport ships.
Following the end of World War I, Olympia participated in the 1919 Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War, and conducted cruises in the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas to promote peace in the unstable Balkan countries. In 1921, the ship carried the remains of World War I's Unknown Soldier from France to Washington, DC, where his body was interred in Arlington National Cemetery. Olympia was decommissioned for the last time in December 1922 and placed in reserve.
In 1957, the U.S. Navy ceded title to the Cruiser Olympia Association, which restored the ship to her 1898 configuration. Since then, Olympia has been a museum ship in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is now part of the Independence Seaport Museum. Olympia is the oldest steel US warship still afloat. However, the Museum has been unable to fund essential maintenance for the old ship, and attempts to secure outside funding have failed. Therefore the current steward, under direction of the US Navy has put the ship up for availability to new stewards. It will take an estimated ten million dollars to put Olympia in a stable condition.
Olympia was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
As of 2012, Olympia's future was uncertain; repairs are desperately needed to keep the ship afloat. Four entities from San Francisco, California, Beaufort, South Carolina, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC, are vying to be a new steward, but it is a race against time due to the waterline deterioration of the hull. As the current entities are in competition for the ship, no significant repairs have been made, although the current steward has done some minor repairs. In reaction to this gap in coverage, the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) has set up a fund repository which, if funds are raised, will be directly applied to immediate repairs of the vessel with the cooperation of the current steward. At the present time, March 2012, the NTHP is considering a triple application by the Naval Historical Foundation, the Historic Naval Ships Association, and the National Maritime Association to have Olympia placed on the NTHP's list of the eleven most endangered "places". The steward applicants from San Francisco (Mare Island), and Beaufort, S.C., have endorsed the application. Despite these positive steps, Olympia is in critical danger due to the lack of funds.
Since 2011, Independence Seaport Museum has renewed its commitment to the continued preservation of the Cruiser Olympia until the Transfer Application Process reaches its conclusion in summer 2014. The Museum has invested in extensive stabilization measures including reinforcing the most deteriorated areas of the hull, expanding the alarm system, installing a network of bilge pumping stand pipes (which will provide greater damage control capability in the unlikely event of a hull breech), extensive deck patching and extensive repair and recoating of the ship’s rigging. Although still in need of dry docking and substantial restoration, the Olympia is in a more stable condition now than it has been for years. This work was made possible by donations from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, The U.S. Cruiser Sailors Association and many individual donors.
Of the six candidates that originally applied for stewardship of the cruiser Olympia, only two remain: an organization in California and an organization in South Carolina. The Museum continues to seek resources to preserve the ship for education and interpretation. The ship will remain open to the public seven days a week from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, and until 7:00 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.
Red or green...just can't commit totally to going with Case International or John Deere for a complete combine
Hello my Friends todays painting is called (Involuntary Commitment) A Involuntary commitment is the practice of using legal means or forms as part of a mental health law to commit a person to a mental hospital, insane asylum or psychiatric ward against their will and/or over their protests, Involuntary Commitment takes place when a person is ordered to be admitted to a hospital or treatment facility in order to prevent harm to that individual or others. The purpose of involuntary commitment is to help a person receive necessary and appropriate mental health and/or substance abuse treatment. In order to be hospitalized against an individual's wishes, the person must be mentally ill or under the influence of drugs or alcohol and dangerous to self or others. A person may act very strangely. displaying abnormal behavior but not be committable. An individual is considered dangerous to self if the person exhibits the following behaviors:
is unable to exercise self-control. judgment and discretion in conducting responsibilities of daily life without care/supervision. or
is unable to satisfy need for nourishment. personal care, medical care. shelter. protection and safety and there is a "reasonable probability" of serious physical debilitation unless adequate treatment is given, or
has attempted or threatened suicide and there is "reasonable probability" of suicide unless treatment is given. or
has mutilated or attempted to mutilate self and there is "reasonable probability" that the person will seriously mutilate self again unless treatment is given,steve

The clothes I ordered from Alice's collection came,

ANNNNNNNNNNNND the long overdue(?) couple shot Nang been asking for. THERE YA GO!
On my way home i found this newly married couple on my ride. I took the shots from the top floor :)
It was so nice to see them in the mood.
I spent a total of 14 hours in the hide waiting for this. When it eventually happened it has got to be one of the most exciting wildlife spectacles I have seen in this country. The Osprey's fishing method requires total commitment. Unfortunately for the Osprey this prize was dropped shortly after this shot (although fortunately for me that meant it had to have another go, in fact, in the end, it took six attempts).

Over the next eight years, he and his crewmate would rise through grit and repetition to become Provincial Men's Pair champions. Cold mornings, endless drills, and quiet discipline shaped a legacy of commitment. This image captures not just a sport, but the forging of character in the rhythm of water and will.

This was actually inspired by an album cover, but I also I wanted to do something a little lighter. I tried to shoot this the night before, but was interrupted by the police. :)
In recent years, the great Brooklyn Bridge — long written about, photographed, painted, walked, biked and driven over; even sailed under — has become a gallery for thousands of padlocks known as love locks.
Some are engraved with initials, names and dates. Some have that information inscribed upon them, passionately, with a Sharpie. Some carry little pictures of New York landmarks like the Empire State Building. Most tell nothing about who put them there, or why.
“The lock signifies the commitment,” some say. “It will be a reminder every time we even see the bridge, let alone walk across it, that there was this one day when we decided that our love was so important.”
Unfortunately, reality must intrude, as it so often does. Love-struck couples’ feelings may or may not last forever, but their locks will definitely not. The Department of Transportation clips locks on the bridge every few weeks and has taken away 9,000 in the last 11 months. A spokesman for the agency said crews cleaned the bridge twice a week and removes locks as needed.
Some dear friends of mine. I really feel like this image celebrates love and the calm soft moments it fosters.

Apologies for the absence as I've been busy with other commitments the last 2 weeks. Hope everyone is well. Happy Valentines day to you all! Will slowly catch up on your streams throughout the week.

Preparing healthy meals is a big commitment in these days when so many unhealthy, low-cost choices surround us. We have meatless meals regularly. Today's healthy choice was a veggie pizza with very little cheese. The basil leaves and tomatoes are from our garden. I also added red onion and kalamata olives. Half of the pizza had a basil pesto sauce, and the other half had only chopped fresh garlic for the sauce. Without a heavy sauce, the flavor of the fresh veggies really stands out.
