On the night of September 27-28, 2012, the miracle-working Kursk-Root Icon of the Mother of God "of the Sign" was brought to the Kursk oblast's Perinatal Center.
With the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan German of Kursk and Rylsk and His Eminence Archbishop Mark of Berlin and Germany, the icon was taken there by Protopriest Oleg Chebanov, Secretary of the Kursk Diocesan Administration, and Priest Nicholas Olhovsky. Fr Oleg noted that "in the first days of the visit of the icon to Kursk, many noticed that a great number of young families with children and expectant mothers came to venerate the holy image. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to travel to see the icon and bring their children. Among those were new mothers, or those about to bring a new life into the world. The Mother of God Herself likely wished to visit the newborn infants."
The optimal time to make the visit, it was decided, was 2-3 am, when the stream of people venerating the icon abated, and it was possible to take the icon out of Znamensky Cathedral.
"Despite the late hour, a great number of patients and medical personnel gathered at the Prenatal Center. Many had tears in their eyes. This is understandable," added Fr Oleg. "One instantly senses the joy of St Elizabeth; when the Virgin Mary learned from the angel that her relative, Elizabeth, wife of the priest Zachary, would soon bear a son, she hastened to visit her. Entering the house, the Mother of God greeted Elizabeth. Hearing her words, Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and recognized that Mary was the one chosen worthy to be the Mother of God. She then exclaimed 'Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! Why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?'"
The priests then prayed before the miracle-working icon for the health of the patients of the Perinatal Center, who were given the opportunity to venerate it.
A multitude of worshipers filling the church, splendidly adorned with living flowers, welcomed the visitors. On this Sunday, which coincided with the parish feast day, most of the parishioners partook of the Holy Gifts of Christ, among whom were many who were celebrating their namesday, as well as young families with their children.
After the service, a procession of the cross and moleben to the holy martyrs was performed.
Vladyka Mark then addressed the worshipers with a sermon, congratulating Protopriest Andrei Ivanov, the parish rector, the clergymen and parishioners on their feast day, expressing hope that they emulate SS Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov and Sophia, who served as an example for us of worthily bearing their crosses. Fr Andrei then thanked Archbishop Mark for celebrating Liturgy with them, and the parishioners, and the Lord for filling their Kursk Diocese with the gift of the visit of the miracle-working Kursk-Root Icon of the Mother of God. Fr Andrei then gave Vladyka Mark a gift of a carved cross.
In accordance with local tradition, the parishioners were then treated to sweet rolls and ice cream, which particularly thrilled the children.
During a concert given afterwards, performed by the local Sunday school, the children sang, danced, played violins, and the smallest of them sang a merry children's song.

Houma residents celebrated Independence Day early on Saturday, converging to take in a parade, games and a fireworks display that lit up the night sky over the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center.
Houma residents celebrated Independence Day early on Saturday, converging to take in a parade, games and a fireworks display that lit up the night sky over the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center.
Locals kicked the day off with a memorial service at Veterans Park off La. 311 honoring veterans who sacrificed to protect American freedom.
"We're honoring those who served, those who are serving, and those who will serve our country in the future," said retired Brig. Gen. Sam deGeneres of the Air Force and Louisiana Air National Guard and a Houma resident.
Local veterans of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were honored during the ceremony, as were the Blue Star Mothers of America who support them. It also honored those on the front lines in our community, including policemen and firefighters.
This year, organizers of the Fourth of July celebration teamed up with the Wounded Warrior Project to invite wounded veterans to enjoy the local culture, fishing, seafood and fun. The veterans and their families were also honored at the memorial.
Retired National Guard Gen. Hunt Downer of Houma said it is important to celebrate holidays like the Fourth of July because they remind us of the sacrifices others have made to protect our nation and our freedom.
"I've always said that if we forget, we lose," Downer said. "This celebration is a constant reminder of the sacrifices that have been made for this nation. It keeps it out front and helps to educate those that might not be aware of our history."
Veterans, police and firefighters placed wreaths honoring soldiers who died for Americans' freedom. A 21-gun salute and the playing of 'Taps' followed.
After the ceremony, veterans were taken via buses to board floats for a Fourth of July parade. The parade, rolling down Main and Barrow streets, included fire trucks, traditional floats and restored military vehicles from the Regional Military Museum's collection.
The celebration then moved to the Civic Center, where the offerings included a beauty pageant, food, a flyover, children's events, live music, races and parachutists floating to Earth carrying a giant American flag.
The evening was capped off with a fireworks display, in classic Fourth of July tradition.
DeGeneres said that he's glad Houma residents have taken to the annual celebration and really embrace it.
Sheila Billiot of Thibodaux, a member of the Blue Star Moms, said that her father is a veteran of World War II and her son is a Marine. She said she supports local patriotic events because her family and others have sacrificed for the nation.
"It's important to show appreciation for those who have given everything for this country," she said.
Thibodaux will hold its own celebration Thursday with the 15th annual Let Freedom Ring Festival, which runs from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Peltier Park.
It's sponsored by the City of Thibodaux, the Lorio Foundation and the Veterans of Vietnam War La. Post No. 4.
There's no cost to attend, and the festival will include live music, an auction, children's activities and games. Though you can buy food, you may also bring a grill and barbecue.
The festival will end with a fireworks display at 9 p.m.
Staff Writer Nikki Buskey can be reached at 448-7636 or email@example.com.

The Searchers An Indian-hating Civil War... MORE > $10.95 Regularly $14.98 Buy Now blu-ray
powered by AFI
Texas 1868. After a long, unexplained absence, Civil War veteran Ethan Edwards arrives at the home of his estranged brother, Aaron, and his wife, Martha, for whom he harbors a secret love. Soon after Ethan's return, a posse of lawmen headed by Captain Reverend Samuel Clayton invite Ethan and his adopted nephew, Martin Pawley, to join them in a hunt for some cattle that was run off by marauding Indians. Leaving Aaron and his family at the homestead, Ethan and the posse soon realize the missing cattle was only a ruse to lure them away from their homes. Ethan races back to his brother's home, only to discover it in flames with everyone butchered by Indians, except for Aaron's youngest daughter Debbie and her teenage sister Lucy who are missing. What follows is a long and torturous search for Ethan's kidnapped kin and the bloodthirsty Indian chief Scar who initiated the massacre.
Film critic and filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard once said of The Searchers: "How can I hate John Wayne upholding [Barry] Goldwater and yet love him tenderly when abruptly he takes Natalie Wood into his arms in the last reel of The Searchers?" This sentiment was also voiced by film students in the late sixties and seventies who began to revise their opinions of John Wayne after seeing him in John Ford's most mythic film, one that was largely misunderstood when it was first released in 1956 and features what is possibly Wayne's finest performance.
In a 1979 New York magazine article, Stuart Byron called The Searchers the "Super-Cult Movie of the New Hollywood." This amply encapsulates just one reason why the film is essential; it had a tremendous influence on filmmakers during the 1970s, arguably one of the most creatively periods in Hollywood history. Directors and screenwriters as varied in background and style as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, John Milius, Paul Schrader, Wim Wenders, Jean-Luc Goddard, and George Lucas have all been influenced and paid some form of homage to The Searchers in their work. Scorsese, perhaps the greatest filmmaker of his generation, exclaimed, "The dialogue is like poetry! And the changes of expression are so subtle, so magnificent! I see it once or twice a year." Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976) obviously shares some narrative similarities with the Ford film as does Paul Schrader's Hardcore (1979). Spielberg, one of the most profitable film producer/directors in movie history, told Stuart Byron he had watched The Searchers a dozen times, including twice while on location for Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). And it was in the late fifties when seventh grader Spielberg shot a two-reel Western in a friend's backyard imitating The Searchers, using a backdrop of Ford's beloved Monument Valley painted on a bedsheet. You can even see references to Ford's masterpiece in the work of Italian director Sergio Leone who stages a massacre scene in his epic, Once Upon a Time in the West (1969), that is remarkably similar to the one that destroys Ethan's kin in The Searchers.
The Searchers represents the apex of the Western genre and stands as John Ford's most emotionally complex and sophisticated film (It was also his 115th feature film!). But it is not simply a summation of the Western themes that Ford had previously explored in his films. The Searchers is one of the first Westerns to deal in a serious and unpretentious way with racism and sexuality. As Joseph McBride wrote in his monumental Ford biography, Searching For John Ford, the director's decision to tackle such a complicated and ambiguous film dealing with race and sex during the 1950s "was a shrewd career move, showing a willingness to make a more 'modern'-seeming Western for an audience that wanted greater psychological realism from the genre..." But more than just making a social statement like other Westerns of the period were apt to do, Ford instills in The Searchers a visual poetry and a sense of melancholy that is rare in American films and rarer still to Westerns.
For an essay in The International Dictionary of Films and Filmmakers, film scholar Ed Lowry wrote: "Never before in a Ford western has the wilderness seemed so brutal or settlements so tenuous and threatened. There are no towns -only outposts and isolated homesteads, remote and exposed between the awesome buttes of Ford's mythic Monument Valley. And while the Comanches are depicted as utterly ruthless, Ford ascribes motivations for their actions, and lends them a dignity befitting a proud civilization. Never do we see the Indians commit atrocities more appalling than those perpetrated by the white man. Not only does [Ethan] Edwards perform the only scalping shown in the film, but Ford presents the bloody aftermath of a massacre of Indian women and children carried out by the same clean-cut cavalrymen he depicted so lovingly in films like Fort Apache." For most viewers, however, it is John Wayne's performance in The Searchers that is a revelation. "I've always thought [Wayne is] underrated as an actor," James Stewart once said. "I think The Searchers is one of the most marvelous performances of all time."

Earl Oliver Hurst's Valuable Lesson
At one point things got so bad that he was forced to make a craft paper turkey for the Thanksgiving table. He couldn't afford to buy a real one. Hurst always had a great sense of humour. Luckily, so did his wife!
Even when things looked terribly bleak, he and Edna somehow managed to laugh and have faith that better times lay ahead.
Hurst refused to wallow in misery and self pity. He simply wouldn't give up his dream. He even turned down a wealthy relative who offered him a lucrative business partnership because he was determined to make it in the art game.
Hurst said the turning point came when an important advertising client expressed his disappointment in the quality and price of a batch of illustrations he had commissioned. Hurst, desperate to make as much money as quickly as possible had taken on too much in too short a period of time - and it showed - AND he was asking too high a price of his client for the sub-standard work. The two men nearly came to blows over the situation!
When both had calmed down, the client challenged Hurst to do five pieces of finished art for each assignment that required only one, then deliver only the piece he felt was his best of the five - a notion Hurst at first thought was insane. But when he finally took up the gauntlet and completed the challenge he suddenly realized his client had been right.
"As I examined those five drawings, standing against my studio wall," said Hurst, "I was really shocked to think that according to former procedure I would have delivered the first one, truly a fumbling performance compared with the subsequent drawings. From then on I followed [that client's] plan religiously."
By the early 1940s Earl Oliver Hurst - who earlier could not convince his client to pay him the princely sum of $85 per drawing - was commanding $1,000 per illustration from his advertising clients.
Hurst recalled, "In a few months I had justified [that client's] faith in me and the great wisdom of his advice - I was soon doing far more important work than had ever come to me preceding my move to New York."

What the hell!! another Hurst post!! thanks so much Lief!!! im actually on the verge of ordering a hurst "artbook" of sorts if this keeps up! lol! His determination is VERY inspiring! thank you for the info!!ReplyDelete
Once again, you strike with an inspiring post, Leif!ReplyDelete
That's the type of old-school work ethic and faith that many people, myself included, really lack today. I had heard of Hurst before after I read an article spotlighting the 5 favorite illustrators of esteemed comic artist Howard Chaykin. But I had never done an intensive look at Hurst's work. That needs to be rectified.
Lloyd; my pleasure - there's a bit more to come. Hopefully tomorrow.ReplyDelete
Adrian; glad you're finding Hurst's work and the related stories inspiring. That's what I hope people get from these posts, so ... my work here is done. ;^)

Hodgson banks on St George's help
Roy Hodgson does not think the opening of the new National Football Centre will automatically lead England to World Cup glory in the future but is confident the work that will be done at Burton can improve their chances.
The aim of the £105 million St George's Park project, which was officially opened by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on Tuesday, is to produce higher quality coaches and players to herald England as a larger force in world football.
France and Spain have invested in a similar nature at their respective bases in Clairefontaine and Madrid, which was key to their recent World Cup and European Championship triumphs. But Hodgson told Sky Sports News: "There's no way of knowing how much better one could have done with or without the facility."
He added: "The fact it's overdue is because the Football Association have invested a similar amount of money in Wembley.
"I haven't been party to what's gone on there but I know that today, not only do we have a great national stadium we have a great national training centre.
"I don't know if we could have done better. Facilities in themselves don't make you a better football team.
"What makes you a better football team is the work that you do within that facility so here we have the chance.
"Players will be really happy to come here and work here.
"I think we have to forget the past, we can't win a World Cup yesterday.
"We would like to have done it since 1966 but we haven't done so, so I think the sooner we start looking forward where we can, I'm rather hoping that the work that will go on here and the amount of effort we'll put in here to help produce better players and coaches will lead us one day to that World Cup victory."

We are experienced in back tax settlement, with a highly qualified team of IRS tax attorney, former IRS enrolled agents, CPAs and experienced staff that has the skills to assist you through your tax crisis, (877) 668-1807
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) November 21, 2012
With the Internal Revenue Service changing the rules for the Offer in Compromise Program, Platinum Tax Defenders is encouraging delinquent taxpayers to research if they qualify for a back tax settlement.
With a rising volume of taxpayers facing financial hardship, the Internal Revenue Service has decided to aid financially distressed men and women by providing more accommodating terms for the Offer in Compromise program. Reported by Platinum Tax Defenders, a licensed tax resolution services firm, the newest terms will expand the last Offer in Compromise program and make sensible back tax settlements accessible to a greater number of taxpayers.
An Offer in Compromise, which allows a taxpayer to settle back taxes debts for less than the entire amount, provides a great potential for distressed taxpayers to eliminate tax problems faster than through traditional methods. However, since the Internal Revenue Service has a exact set of guidelines they must operate within, they do not approve an Offer in Compromise if they believe the taxpayer is capable of paying the complete debt. Now, the IRS has introduced a new, more lenient set of rules for authorizing new Offers in Compromise. The newest rules adjust the future income formula, allow taxpayers to pay overdue state and local taxes, to settle student loans, and raise the allowable living expenses.
"With the financial burden on the American taxpayer, having a lesser amount of disposable income and continuing to feel the pressure of the slow economic climate, the IRS getting more flexible to encourage people to make payment plan arrangements in a timely manner,"Platinum Tax Defenders.
Even though the Offer in Compromise program is an excellent opportunity for late taxpayers to reduce their tax burden and settle back taxes, it is essential to understand that negotiating with the IRS can be complicated. Although these programs are to make back tax settlements easier for taxpayers, ultimately the IRS is aiming to collect what they can of the money owed to them. In order to obtain the most reasonable results, many tax professionals recommend taxpayers seek the services of a licensed tax resolution specialist.
With approximately 57 million of taxpayers owing back taxes, the new flexibility of the Offer in Compromise program is likely to benefit both the IRS and delinquent taxpayers. Though, the process of negotiating back tax settlements and obtaining Internal revenue service approval is complicated and time intensive. To obtain positive terms and back tax settlement, a highly trained tax resolution firm that fully understands the IRS requirements, approval process, and negotiation strategies can be the most beneficial.
Platinum Tax Defenders provide a free of charge, no-obligation phone assessment to individuals looking to explore the Offer in Compromise or other tax payment plan options. The initial assessment provide by Platinum Tax Defenders, which normally takes between 20 and 45 minutes with a tax resolution professional, examines the individual's specific tax situation and helps to outline possible strategies on how to deal with the IRS.
