'Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands. This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey. In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.

The World Poverty Stone
World Poverty Stone
The World Poverty Stone is a commemorative stone marking the United Nations International Day for the Eradication of World Poverty. It is sited to the east of the Famine Sculptures on Custom House Quay in the heart of Dublin's Docklands.
This limestone memorial was commissioned as a gesture of solidarity with people living in poverty around the world. On the 17th of October 1987, in response to the call of Joseph Wresinski - founder of the International Movement ATD Fourth World - 100,000 defenders of human rights gathered in Paris to honour the victims of hunger, violence and ignorance, to express their refusal of extreme poverty and to call on people from all walks of life to unite to ensure respect for human rights. A commemorative stone proclaiming this message was inaugurated on this occasion on the Plaza of Human Rights and Liberties - where the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948.
Since then, on the 17th of October each year, people from all walks of life, gather throughout the world to express their solidarity and commitment to ensure that everyone's dignity and freedom are respected. On 22nd of December 1992, the General Assembly of the United Nations declared 17th October the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. There are now over 30 replicas of the original stone now located around the world. These sites have become places of honour for people living in poverty in the world, places where people gather to reject the inevitability of poverty and social exclusion and places of friendship and solidarity where people from all backgrounds can gather together. Around the world, annual commemoration take place at the site of the stones to mark the 17th October UN International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
The artist - Stuart McGrath, based in Co. Wicklow, is a master craftsman; his training is in sculpture, architectural and classical stone carving. All of his stonecutting is done by hand using traditional methods. He also works in bronze. Visit: www.stonecarvingstudio.com for more information. This memorial was co-commissioned by Dublin City Council, the Dublin Docklands Development Authority and ADT Fourth World.

Sitting outside of
a coffeeshop on Second Avenue
on a sunny Sunday
in Long Beach. I was in this town
on this day to meet with my agent,
and I had a very good meeting, and was
happily talking to him in the street, a conversation
I noticed her listening to. Afterwards she asked me if
I was doing business, and I said yes, but good business,
and I asked to take her picture, and she surprised me by
consenting, a surprise that stems from the fact that many
young women suspect photographers of scheming to use their
photos in perverse ways on the Internet. But she showed no such
suspicion, and gave me relaxed and natural smiles, and totally impressed
me with her warm and total composure.

It turned out better than I hoped. Love this deep heathery red. Can't wait for fall so I can rock it all season long.

When I asked for his photo,
his friends seemed unsurprised,
as he's an actor, and is known
to light up for the camera. Seeing
me snap his portrait, his
blonde waitress said to him,
"Are you a star?" His friends said
yes, indeed, he is.

I am very proud and perhaps a little bit humbled to announce that sitting right here in my very own system is...
"The Worlds First Theta Digital, HDMI Edition Casablanca III-HD Music and Cinema Controller",
that has been upgraded from a regular production model CB-III.
I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to have this unit, but I'll have to start by saying that thanks to ATI, (the new owners of Theta Digital) and through the incredable effort, persistance and perserverance of designer David Reich, that it was even possible for the CB-IIIHD to actually become a reality after years of hard work.
I also have to thank Craig Shumer, owner of Theatermax in N.J. (and known on the AVS Forum as VGI), for allowing me to have this first highly anticapated and extremely sought after electronic instrument.
He was critical to me in every step of the way, staying in direct contact with Theta Digital and their design team to assure that it all turned out as well as it has.
For the best pricing on all Theta Digital and Aerial Acoustic Speaker products worldwide, call Craig Shumer of Theatermax LLC in N.J.

Today's VIS image shows part of the northeastern rim of Jezero Crater. The Perserverance Rover is located on the northwestern part of the crater - near a delta deposit formed by the influx of silt laden water into the crater at a time during Mars' past that was wetter. The crater most likely hosted a lake for a period of time. The channel in the center of this image was formed by the flow of water exiting the crater.
This martian scene spans 19 x 279 kilometers (12 x 174 miles). To see where on Mars this area lies, and to download high-resolution versions of the image go to themis.asu.edu/zoom-20230419a

Tested by Fire
In today's world, a couple who has been married for 27 years is a rarity. My wife, Brandi, and I have been married for that long. One thing I know is you don't stay married for that length of time without going through fire. We have had our fair share of fire, for sure.
In the beginning of our marriage I was not a believer. That put a huge strain on us. The first 7 years of our marriage was pretty rough. I was not following the Lord and leading like I'm supposed to. On several occasions, we were on the verge of divorce. But in 2001, I did surrender to Christ and things got better, not because of us but because of Him.
However, things weren't all rainbows and unicorns after I was saved. I had an addiction to pornography that started when I was in middle school. Obviously, my wife was unaware but with any sin, light was shown upon the darkness. Sadly, my addiction still continued after she found out and again our marriage suffered to the point of divorce. But God saved me from my addiction and I have been delivered from it since. He worked a miracle in me and saved our marriage.
But as always, life gets in the way of happiness. Job, children, finances etc. were all distractions to our marriage. Many hurts happened and we had grown apart. It felt like we were spiraling towards separation again but again God intervened. It was like he hit me over the head with a frying pan. He showed me that I was too focused on self.
I've got 3 variations of this set, but the consensus is this one is the best ;)
Of course I believe better photos can be taken with my wife's belly and this figurine, but I lack both the skills and perserverance to shoot them :)
