Help me
I think I'm falling
In love again
When I get that crazy feeling
I know I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet talking ladies man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom
Help me
I think I'm falling
In love too fast
It's got me hoping for the future
And worrying about the past
'Cause I've seen some hot, hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ash
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom

This family is VERY SPECIAL and in need of a little help. Please read their story on my blog. Please feel free to share the links and images on your own fan page, blog or website. JUST BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE LINKS AND WATERMARKS so our ultimate goal can be accomplished! Helping the kids! eheizerphotography.blogspot.com/2011/08/here-comes-sun-sp...
One of the inexpensive tank playsets by Kids Connection from Walmart I forgot to take a before photo, but Google helped me out. Anyways, the next group of Marauders body Joes I'm planning are desert troops, so I've already prepped their tank.
Oh dear what shall we do? Ghillie has been captured by a scary hand coming out of the ground in the garden!!! Hell, Michigan is a creepy place!!!!
Quick someone save the puppy!!!!!! HELP!!!!
I really like the direction I'm going here, but I can't figure out how to make this look even acceptable. So if you have any ideas, please speak up!
A set of Helpers has just uncoupled on the fly and will follow the load to just beyond the signals. There they will wait for a light to crossover and run back to Crawford NE to await their next turn.
Please follow this link ... or this one.if you have any interest in donating to one of the charities that are/will be providing relief to Haiti.
I can only imagine the impact that this level of destruction will have on an already impoverished nation. The people of Haiti had nothing to begin with and now... somehow... it's gotten worse. I don't think it's possible for there to be too much help right now, it's just a matter of getting the money, the aid... in the right hands. I encourage you to look into any organization and see how they direct their funds/donations received. I can only hope that a new level of understanding of Haiti and it's needs, that were already so desperate, will come from this disaster.
UPDATE: A very thoughtful post by Chris Sacca on ways you can help... I think number 6 is just as important as making a donation right now.
He's the thinnest kitty I've met. He eats a teaspoon a day. He's survived so far. More about him and others in the blog catsmne.wordpress.com/ and twitter twitter.com/catsMNE
My aunt gave me a Christmas gift-card to Sear's. ($25) And I saw that they have a new DS game I kinda want. But now McKenna entered my life (XD) and I really want her....I would have $95 saved for her with the gift-card. I'm already saving for Marie-Grace & Cecile. I'm going to go to the AGP (Dallas) in May 2012, and I could 'give' the girl-card to my mom and she could give me that $25 to AGP funds. I know she could find something on there....What do y'all think??
SOOC, no watermark this time. ;-)

Etta's at it again!
Kahn and Etta "help" keep us fit and well exercised when we take them for walks everyday; I'm pretty sure we wouldn't walk everyday without them!
The church Mary Help/Rescue (Mariahilfkirche) in the Styrian capital of Graz is a pilgrimage church and parish church of the parish Graz-Mariahilf in the deanery Graz-Center of the church administration Stadtkirche Graz. Attached to the church is the Minorite convent Graz.
History and design
In the 13th century settled monks of founded by St. Francis of Assisi Order of Minors in Graz at the place of today's Franciscan monastery, to which they had to cede in 1515 the square. After having spent many years provisionally, they were finally able after a donation by the princes of Eggenberg and Emperor Ferdinand II to settle at today's Mariahilf sqaure (now Lend district). The built in 1607 in Baroque style church, designed by Giovanni Pietro de Pomis, a pupil of Tintoretto, was completed in 1611. He built a towerless church according to Venetian models, which was closed towards the top with a triangular pediment in the manner of classical temple fronts. Through a conversion to plans by Josef Hueber the Church 1742-1744 received its present form with the two towers. Since 1783, the church serves as a parish church.
The gable above the church portal crowns today a Baroque statue of Archangel Michael which abuts Lucifer to hell. The other figures of the portal laterally above the middle door are the religious saints Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua and above the door the Virgin Mary.
The interior of the church looks plain and sober. The large dome over the presbytery was as well as the stucco decoration in 1769 removed. The thereafter by Josef Adam Molk created frescoes have also been removed (after not quite 100 years) and gave way to today's simple design. The image of the Virgin Mary on the high altar is considered a painterly masterpiece of Pietro de Pomis.
The sacristy, built 1636/37, has rich stucco ornaments (Johann Cajetan Androy attributed) and pews of the Regency style, at the sacristy is also located the chapel Bonaventurakapelle (Baptistery of St. Bonaventura, Triebenegg'sche crypt chapel), built from 1635 to 1640, with stucco in auricular style of Mathias Camin, Master of Mariazell, and a high Baroque altar in scagliola.
South of the church is the cloister of the Minorite monastery, which is followed by the treasury chapel. This one was created 1769-71 to accommodate votive offerings of pilgrims, but none of which have survived. It shows itself consistently late Baroque, the facilities, especially the altarpiece, is from the period of origin, walls and vault lunette caps adorn miracle scenes in tone-in-tone painting by Joseph Adam Knight of Mölk (1773)
Through another courtyard one accesses via a representative staircase the former summer refectory (the Minoritensaal), one of the most beautiful secular Baroque rooms in Graz.
Current use
To date, the monastery premises are inhabited by Friars Minor. The monastery houses also the Cultural Center with the Minorites, in which take place events in the fields of music, literature and visual arts.
In addition take place in the treasury chapel of the monastery services of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, a Rome-united church, and the Russian Orthodox church of Mary Protection in Graz as an ecumenical accommodation.
Interior and exterior of Mariahilferkirche in recent years have been skilfully restored.
Die Kirche Mariahilf (Mariahilfkirche) in der steirischen Landeshauptstadt Graz ist eine Wallfahrtskirche und Pfarrkirche der Pfarre Graz-Mariahilf im Dekanat Graz-Mitte der Stadtkirche Graz. An die Kirche angeschlossen ist das Minoritenkonvent Graz.
Geschichte und Gestaltung
Im 13. Jahrhundert siedelten sich Mönche des von Franz von Assisi gegründeten Minoritenordens in Graz am Platz des heutigen Franziskanerklosters an, an die sie den Platz 1515 abtreten mussten. Nach vielen provisorisch zugebrachten Jahren konnten sie sich schließlich nach einer Schenkung des Fürsten von Eggenberg und Kaiser Ferdinands II. am heutigen Mariahilfer Platz (im heutigen Bezirk Lend) ansiedeln. Die 1607 nach Plänen von Giovanni Pietro de Pomis, einem Schüler Tintorettos, in barockem Stil erbaute Kirche war 1611 fertiggestellt. Er errichtete eine nach venezianischen Vorbildern gestaltete turmlose Kirche, die nach oben mit einem Dreiecksgiebel in der Art klassischer Tempelfronten abgeschlossen war. Durch einen Umbau nach Plänen von Josef Hueber erhielt die Kirche 1742–1744 die heutige Gestalt mit den beiden Türmen. Seit 1783 dient die Kirche als Pfarrkirche.
Den Giebel über dem Kirchenportal krönt heute eine barocke Statue des Erzengels Michael, der Luzifer in die Hölle stößt. Die anderen Figuren des Portals zeigen seitlich oberhalb der mittleren Türe die Ordensheiligen Franz von Assisi und Antonius von Padua und oberhalb der Türe die Gottesmutter Maria.
Das Innere der Kirche wirkt schlicht und ernst. Die große Kuppel über dem Presbyterium wurde ebenso wie die Stuckdekoration 1769 entfernt. Die danach von Josef Adam Mölk geschaffenen Fresken wurden ebenfalls (nach nicht ganz 100 Jahren) entfernt und wichen der heutigen schlichten Gestaltung. Das Bild der Jungfrau Maria am Hochaltar gilt als malerisches Hauptwerk Pietro de Pomis'.
Die Sakristei, erbaut 1636/37, verfügt über reiche Stuckornamentik (Johann Cajetan Androy zugeschrieben,) und ein Gestühl des Régence-Stils, bei der Sakristei befindet sich auch die Bonaventurakapelle (Taufkapelle zum Hl. Bonaventura, Triebenegg’sche Gruftkapelle), 1635 bis 1640 erbaut, mit Stuck im Knorpelwerkstil von Mathias Camin, dem Meister von Mariazell, und einem hochbarocken Altar in Stuckmarmor.
Südlich der Kirche befindet sich der Kreuzgang des Minoritenklosters, an den die Schatzkammerkapelle anschließt. Diese wurde 1769–71 erstellt, um Votivgaben der Wallfahrern aufzunehmen, von denen sich aber keine erhalten haben. Sie zeigt sich geschlossen Spätbarock, die Ausstattung, im Besonderen die Altarretabel, ist aus der Entstehungszeit, Wände und Gewölbestichkappen zieren Wunderszenen in Ton-in-Ton-Malerei von Joseph Adam Ritter von Mölk (1773).
Durch einen weiteren Hof gelangt man über eine repräsentative Treppe in das ehemalige Sommerrefektorium (den Minoritensaal), einen der schönsten profanen Barockräume in Graz.
Heutige Nutzung
Bis heute werden die Klostergebäude von Minoritenbrüdern bewohnt. Im Kloster befindet sich auch das Kulturzentrum bei den Minoriten, in dem Veranstaltungen aus den Bereichen Musik, Literatur und bildende Kunst stattfinden.
Außerdem finden in der Schatzkammerkapelle des Klosters Gottesdienste der ukrainischen griechisch-katholischen Gemeinde, einer rom-unierten Gemeinde, und der russisch-orthodoxen Kirchengemeinde zu Mariä Schutz in Graz, als ökumenische Beherbergung, statt.
Inneres und Äußeres der Mariahilferkirche wurde in den letzten Jahren aufwändig restauriert.
Some of Leicester’s favourite ex-players will team up on Friday (12th) to help launch two exciting new football facilities in the city. Steve Walsh, Muzzy Izzet and Alan ‘The Birch’ Birchenall will join youngsters at the playing fields at Mary Linwood and New College for the official openings of the two schemes.
Existing facilities at New College have been transformed and a brand new scheme has been created at Mary Linwood as part of the city’s £11.2 million football investment strategy – a multi-agency project launched last year to boost grassroots football in Leicester and encourage more people to take regular exercise. The project includes a £5 million grant from the Football Foundation – the body funded by the Premier League, The FA, the Government and Sport England.
Cllr Rob Wann, cabinet lead for culture & leisure, is delighted with the project’s progress: “This investment in our sporting infrastructure was urgently needed to upgrade Leicester’s facilities and get more people of all ages and abilities playing football.These schemes will make a big difference to the way that football is played in the city, helping to bridge the gap between the grassroots and professional games. But thanks to our funding partners, and the hard work of local clubs, this project will do much more than improve conditions for young footballers – it will also have a huge impact on the wider population’s health.”
At Mary Linwood, six grass pitches, changing rooms, two referees’ rooms, a club room, reception area and a kitchen have been provided as part of the £1.35 million scheme, together with car parking and floodlighting. And a new all-weather surface has improved the multi-use games pitch at the Samworth Enterprise Academy next door.
Joining the guests for the launch will be John Heath, who set up Aylestone Park Football Club – the partner club at Mary Linwood – back in 1968.
Current club chairman, Bob Stretton, said: “Without John’s vision, Aylestone Park Football Club wouldn’t be where it is today.He’s put his heart and soul into the club and the community over the years, so we’re honoured that he will be joining us for the official opening of our new home.”
Allexton & New Parks FC – the partner club at New College – is also enthusiastic about its new facilities: “After 15 years in New Parks, we’ve finally got a permanent base with facilities and the room we need to expand,” said club chairman Maurice Allen. “Our founders had a dream and this development is the first part of that dream to come true. We ended last season with just 12 teams but we’ve already expanded to 18 in anticipation of the new facilities. This means we’ll be able to get more people playing football in New Parks – and that’s more people of all ages, from five years old to 60.”
Facilities at New College playing fields have been transformed, thanks to the £1.6 million scheme, with a full-size floodlit all-weather pitch, a floodlit grass pitch, six changing rooms, two referees’ rooms, a club room, a reception area and a kitchen.
But the Mary Linwood and New College schemes are just two of the 11 sites that will be upgraded as part of the strategy. Two grass sites – at Beaumont Park and Rushey Fields – and four inner-city ball courts have already been completed.
Funding for the £11.2 million football investment strategy includes the biggest single grant ever made by the Football Foundation – £5 million.
Paul Thorogood, chief executive of the Football Foundation, said: “I am delighted that these two state-of-the-art sports facilities are now ready to open their doors to the people of Leicester. Since being launched in 2000 the Foundation has funded 180 projects worth £25 million across Leicestershire alone thanks to money provided by the Premier League, The FA and the Government.”
Further contributions have been made by Leicester City Council, Sport England, local partner clubs, the UEFA Jubilee Fund and NHS Leicester City.
Deb Watson, director of public health and health improvement at NHS Leicester City and Leicester City Council, said: “Regular exercise is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle and fits with our ambitions to encourage more men, women and children to take part in some form of physical activity. Football is a great, fun way to achieve this and, combined with healthy eating, will help to maintain a healthy weight.”
The successful implementation of Leicester’s football strategy aims to create more than 280 new teams and around 3,000 new regular players, while providing coaching for more than 5,000 youngsters.

I'd appreciate any help to ID any of them, thanks.
Started this a long time ago when I saw the Craftster hoopla swap that focused on diptychs. Just finished it today after finding it in the bottom of a box!
Ugh, sorry it's slightly blurry!
