well written and a great message for our young people to read and act on.

Enjoyed your article on Aunt Clara Brown. Perhaps one of your readers would be interested in the beautiful bronze 30 3/4" sculpture of Aunt Clara Brown created by the respected sculptor
Ed Dwight. This very impressive bust sculpture should find a permanent home in Colorado.

This post is so true and informative. American must stay neutral with the situation in Iran. I'm looking forward to read more of your articles.

You must be kidding. Still sticking with that tired old leftist line that everything is George W. Bush's fault? How long is that going to keep working for you?

Obama is not pulling us out of an abyss. We are coming out despite his leftist economic idiocy.

Fortunately, there's a good chance he'll be a one-term president.

I don't understand why people out there are making so much noise.

It is all about Tiger's personal life and we do not have right to interfere into it.

It would be interesting to hear the Grandfather's neighbor's side of that story - just for balance

Enjoyed this article immensely!This is a great comment. I also had to go to my Webster's dictionary to look up the word "obstreperously." Thank You. Thank you for the wonderful article.

Nice posting, i wonderful what it taste like?

An excellent post, indeed it takes one genius mind and a passion to create crafts from almost trash resources. BeadforLife is a wonderful project, not only to profit and help people but to impart the creative talent of every people who took part in it. Cheers for you guys! ^^*

I applaud you Ms Burleson; thank you so much for your response!

We the fashion fans salutes you Michael for your contribution to Pop Music. Your were a music itself. So, the tribute should be as memorable as he was. He gave people a new definition of fashion, lifestyle and of-course to dance.

Thanks for everything.

Wattree: Sounds like you have an atypical reaction than most people when it comes to digesting beans. Some folks who aren't used to a high fiber diet deal with a little flatulence, which can be minimized with enzyme supplements such as Beano. Your reaction is more severe. Have you discussed this with a doctor or a naturopath to determine if you are allergic? Perhaps it's a particular bean that sets you off or there may be a method to introduce them into your diet very slowly. It may be worth an inquiry.

Thanks for the question.

I used to have that prejudice against beans, because I was growing and my mother was trying to get through college that's all we ate.

After I became an adult, finally managed to get past that, and now that I've developed a taste for them, they turn into cement inside me. I can eat one bean and get indigestion so bad that I'll have to go to the emergency room.

Is there a remedy for that? Because now I have dreams about chili beans with plenty of ground beef, Lousiana hot sauce, shredded cheese, and garlic.

You'd think I'd have a problem with the cheese and hot sauce, but I don't have a problem with that at all. But those beans - they're a killer.

Yummy. Those pictures are so tasty looking!

I am doing a series on the Vulnerability Index and “Common Good” which is running these registries in fifty major cities throughout the United States. “Their mission,” according to Becky the organizer "is to end homelessness by breaking all the rules and getting people housed as they were doing when this project was started in 1990." Roseanne Haggerty was twenty-eight when she first put together a deal for a hotel in Mid-town Manhattan, called the Times Square. This building was dedicated to Sarah Rayburn, who was a homeless elderly woman in the central core of Manhattan for more than ten years. She eventually died after being placed in housing, which illustrates that lack of housing and being houseless is lethal. Many of the homeless are anchored to spots in the community and attract others to share their lives. At this point in Mid-town there is one man left nick named, "Heavy." Roseanne’s philosophy is. "you could live here." With persistence and dedicating her life to the flexible and intentional effort all but one individual of the original anchors have gone back home.

Roseanne has three buildings for homeless individuals and another family program that is located in the Brownsville section of the Bronx. She has started an additional program with the concerted will and effort of Becky, her front line leader in the trenches across America. She is managing the registry throughout the country, focusing her ample skills in the L.A. Mission District, a fifty block area of Los Angeles that has four hundred such people living out in the elements permanently. However, in L.A. there are more than 40,000 homeless people.


The key to ending homelessness is housing and the will of the local government to dedicate the resources to ending the nightmare of not having a safe and stable place to stay permanently. The first task for local authorities like New York, Washington, D.C, New Orleans (where Unity is located, is to dedicate themselves to providing units of housing for all of their citizens in all places to live throughout the community. This is accomplished by recognizing what is plain and that is neglecting poverty creates a climate of deprivation for generations.
The cost of these tragic circumstances is born by tax payers in emergency services, incarceration, judicial and law enforcement costs and the loss of productivity by those whose lives are forfeited to the market economy.

One problem that Denver faces is whether or not they possess the acumen to recognize the responsibility of providing housing for everyone. The 2008 report on Housing of the task force of housing projections predicted that 35,000 units of low income housing were required by 2018 and yet only 5,000 units are being planned. Since the study came out it is clear that the region needs as much as 100,000 units of housing in order to fulfill the swelling needs of those who have lost their jobs and their homes regionally.

Let me invite you to visit Berea, KY on the web or in person. This is a community where we still live the ideals of those early students such as Carter Woodson.

Interesting personal testaments. Good news about your mother's health. I'll make note of this health healing property. Love asparagus already. Thanks for sharing.
