Political thuggery is nothing new for Governor Bruce Rauner. From 1996 to 2005, Rauner paid Stuart Levine $25,000 a month to get state pension business for his firm. Levine, a convicted felon and bestie of Obama fundraiser Tony Rezko and GOP fixer William "Bill" Cellini, testified at federal trial that his job with Rauner was to use bribes to get those million dollar insider pension deals.
This is how Bruce Rauner has made his fortune and how he used that fortune to entice Republican leaders to support him. When President Trump says we need to drain the Swamp, he means Rauner.
Bruce Rauner isn't the only thug in Illinois' political swamp.
More threats to GOP candidates?
Republican sources say that Dan Proft, who received $5 million or more from Rauner since 2014, is using threats to pressure GOP candidates at township meetings. Proft hosts a radio show on Salem radio station AM 560 and came in last in a seven-way race for Illinois Governor in 2010.
More thugs: Patrick Hughes and Derek Murphy?
The GOP sources also claim Patrick Hughes and Derek Murphy, an aide to Ohio Governor John Kasich (a Trump hater) are pressuring Republican candidates to meet with Proft…or else. If they don't meet with Dan Proft, Hughes and Murphy are telling candidates they will get no GOP money or GOP support!
Hughes is a co-founder of Illinois Opportunity Project (IOP) and failed 2010 U.S. Senate candidate against Mark Kirk. Matt Besler, President of Illinois Opportunity Project, was tapped as Rauner's Chief Strategic Advisor in June. IOP is a dark money group, hides its donors, and serves as the Governor's political attack arm.
Consistent with Crain's story: "Tillman and Proft deny jobs deal with Rauner"
The claims of these threats is consistent with a story by Greg Hinz in Crain's.
Hinz says he stands by his August story about a $30 million fundraising and jobs swap deal between Dan Proft, Illinois Policy Institute CEO John Tillman, and Governor Rauner. The deal? Dan Proft and others would raise $30 million for next year's Republican campaigns and, in exchange, "pretty much run the legislative races and IPI staffers would come into senior government jobs."
Dan Proft and John Tillman want to control GOP legislative races and control jobs in Rauner's administration?
If you have a tip about this story or have been pressured or threatened to meet with Dan Proft, Pat Hughes, or Derek Murphy in exchange for state Republican financial support, please contact Real GOP Illinois.

Touring Eretz Yisrael: Chol Hamoed: Day 3
So the day began with a noon departure. The drive up to Bet She'an was a little more than 2 hours long. At Bet She'an, we stopped at the National Park, where we ate lunch. In addition, some people went on a tour of the archaeological site of the Roman Amphitheater. I chose not to, even though I have not been there in many years. My decision was simple - the walk down was long, it was about 41 degrees Celsius (in the shade), which is about 105 degrees Fahrenheit, and I had a bunch of kids who would not have been interested (and I probably would have had to carry some of them).
So I stayed up at the top. We took the kids to a park while others did the tour. We just hung out and waited out the heat.
After that, we went to look in the area for a fairly quiet Nahal to hike in. It is pretty impossible, considering it being Chol Ha'Moed and very hot, pretty much every inch of Nahal in the country is packed with people, but we actually found one that was reasonable. It had areas that were crowded, but along the length of the Nahal we found some spots that were quiet and appropriate for our group.
Everybody went in and swam. We cooled off and enjoyed the respite from the heat in a Nahal called Nahal Ha'Kibbutzim which is in the area of Kibbutz Nir David. The Nahal was clean and at its deep spot was about (my) chest high. After swimming a but, most people went out, but (most of) my family decided to hike from where we were to the end of the Nahal, in the water. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved it.
From there we headed to some community center/country club in Bet She'an. The group had arranged to rent the pool for some late nighttime swim. We got there and had a bbq dinner. At about 8pm we had the pool for the women, who went for a nice swim. They came back raving about the pool. At about 9:45 the men had the pool until about 11:15. The pool was really beautiful, along with a shvitz (sauna) and great Jacuzzi. I was surpised Bet She'an would have such a nice pool...
Then we headed back to Bet Shemesh, leaving just after midnight.
On our way out of Bet She'an (12:15am or so), we passed by a branch of Shefa Shuk. I must say the [threat of] cherem by the Haredim of Shefa is working 100% in Bet She'an. The store was completely empty of customers.
You think it is over. At about 1:15 the bus broke down. I am not sure where we were, as I had been sleeping and not paying attention to the road, but I could tell it was on the highway next to an Arab village. I thought it was Um el Fahim, but was not sure. It seemd the bus had overheated. After workign on it for a bit, the driver got us going again and we drove for a few more minutes, and pulled over again at the top entrance to Kvish 6. I suspect he did this only so that we would not have to sit next to an Arab village.
He could not get the bus working and we had to wait for some mechanics to be sent out. They arrived at about 2:30 or so and worked on the bus for a while. In the meantime I had gotten stuffy sitting n the hot bus so I went with the baby I was holding and laid out on the side of the road enjoying the fresh air. Everybody seemed to think that was strange, as I think I was the most photographed item of the day. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures of myself, but am waiting for someone to send me what they took and then I will add them to the post. In the meantime, I was enjoying the good cool fresh air while they were all sitting in a stuffy hot bus.
They finally got it working and we were off to bet Shemesh. I heard afterwards that a belt had broken and that was causing the engine to overheat. The mechanic replaced the belt and then it was fine.
We arrived home at about 4:15 am, just in time to head out to Hebron for Vaskin.... just kidding.

Sounds like a great trip. What a fun - and educational - thing to do with your family! When people develop their pics, the caption under the photos of you will read "Finally! Someone with common sense!" I would have done exactly the same. Are you wearing a Bears cap in the pic? It's not close enough for me to tell.....ReplyDelete
I don't know if common sense is the right term. It was probably a bit crazy, and had everyone done it it would probably have been very dangerous being on the side of a major highway.ReplyDelete
But I just could no longer take the stuffiness of the bus, and we had no idea whether it would take just another 20 minutes for the mechanic to arrive and fix the bus or another 4 hours....
oh, and it is not a Bears hat. I could not find that one. It is just a Chicago hat using the same color scheme as the Bears scheme...ReplyDelete

Technically, a peeling paint is something that you need to fix especially if it is found in a wall of an establishment. However, peeling paints can actually be used as inspirations in creating textures that can provide a different kind of appeal to a material. A peeling paint texture is characterized by chipped off paints in a surface or platform.
This post is a collection of a number of downloadable peeling paint textures which you may use to design different items with. Other than our peeling paint textures, we can provide you with more samples of various Photoshop textures each with their unique characteristics and appearance.
Some of the variables that affect the appearance of a peeling paint texture are as follows:
There are already a lot of entities that use peeling paint textures as design materials. This popularity may be mainly for these reasons:
Since there are many ways that a paint may be peeled from a surface, there are also different kinds of peeling paint textures that can be used as a design. Some of the peeling paint textures that you can download from this post are as follows:
There are still other kinds of peeling paint textures that you may use as design materials. More so, you can use overlays and combinations of various peeling paint textures to create a more complex texture design. Other than our samples of peeling paint textures, you may also want to browse through our downloadable samples of Grungy Paint Textures in the provided link.

NASCAR Pick'em Chicagoland
September 18, 2011 Leave a comment
As the Chase kicks off with the Geico 400 at Chicagoland, the NASCAR fantasy season really starts to heat up.
For those who have never played, the premise is simple; score the most points over the course of the season in order to win. Here are the rules and points system for my league:
- Pick 10 drivers who you believe have the best chance of finishing in the top ten. Next, put the drivers you selected in order. The driver selected first is the projected winner. The second through fifth drivers are selected to complete the top five. The sixth through tenth drivers are selected to place in the top 10.
- 10 points are rewarded for selecting the winner correctly.
- Two points are awarded to your first through fifth drivers if they finish in the top five. This includes the winner, if picked correctly.
- One point is awarded to any of the drivers you picked, if they finish in the top 10.
- A total of 30 points can be earned per week.
The winner of the league is rewarded a NASCAR T-shirt of their choice, courtesy of G14, the creator of the contest.
The odds of picking the winner are 1-43, making that aspect of the game very challenging. I've done my best to sort prior race stats all season, and have managed to pick four different winners. Unfortunately, I didn't attempt five races and find myself 10th in the standings.
If you're interested in joining G14's fantasy league my predictions might help you. Here are my picks for the first race of the Chase:
Winner: Jimmie Johnson- Johnson has seven top tens and five top fives in nine career races at Chicagoland. The five-time defending champion is looking to rebound after a rough outing at Richmond last week.
2. Jeff Gordon- Gordon has three finishes in the last two races at Chicagoland. He has also recorded a win at the track and has an 8.6 average finish there ranks him first among active drivers.
3. Kevin Harvick- Last week's winner also has two career wins at Chicagoland.
4. Carl Edwards- Edwards has two top five finishes in six career races here. He enters the Chase on a hot streak, after recording three straight top fives.
5. Matt Kenseth- In ten career starts at Chicagoland, Kenseth has an average finish of 11.8. He finds himself on the pole for this race.
6. Kyle Busch- Rowdy has a win and two top fives in six career races at Chicagoland.
7. Kurt Busch- Kurt is looking to put last week's mix-ups with Jimmie Johnson behind him. Busch has five top tens in 10 career races at Chicagoland.
8. Tony Stewart- Tony has said that he doesn't believe he can compete for the championship, but his career stats at Chicagoland say otherwise. In ten career starts, Stewart has eight top tens, seven top fives, and two wins at the track.
9. Clint Bowyer- Bowyer is looking to make a statement after being denied a Chase birth. The Cheerios driver has four top fives in five career races at Chicagoland.
10. Brad Keselowski- Bad Brad has been stellar of late, posting two wins, four top fives, and six top 10 finishes in the last seven races.

Look to rebound with matches this week
by Than Acuff
Homecoming week can be a double-edged sword for the Titans teams. Some rally with the support of the hometown crowd while others succumb to the nerves of playing under the spotlight.
The latter was the case for the Titans volleyball team as they opened the homecoming festivities on Thursday, September 14 with a match against the Center Vikings in mighty Mt. Olympus.
Coach Heather Perry was looking forward to the match with Center. While the Vikings are notoriously scrappy, the Titans usually rise to the challenge and can edge out a win with a slightly stronger skill set.
"I had hoped to use that day to get them to work on some offense," says Perry.
Unfortunately, the match didn't play out as hoped. The Titans fell into a hole early, dropping the first set 16-25. They came back to win the second set fairly easily 25-14, but then lost the third set 20-25.
Down two sets to one, the Titans' backs were against the wall. They recovered in the fourth set to win 25-13 to force a fifth and final set to determine the match.
"We pulled our serving around and when we serve well, we play well," says Perry of the fourth set.
The fifth set is fast and furious. While the first four go to 25 points, the final set goes to 15 points and leaves little room for errors.
"The last set goes really fast and we have a habit of starting slow," says Perry. "You can't start slow in a game to 15."
The Titans fell behind early and then panic set in leading to mistakes that eventually spelled their demise as they dropped the fifth set 7-15 to lose the match.
"The whole match was up and down and I think nerves just got the best of them," says Perry.
Senior Catherine Washburn led the Titans with 26 assists, Ellia Pannier had eight kills and Sophie Hall served up six aces in the match.
The Titans returned to Mt. Olympus on Saturday, September 16 for matches against league powerhouse Sargent and middle-of-the-pack team Custer County. Sargent brings a well-skilled, seasoned squad to every match as one of the programs that plays year-round. While the Titans fell in straight sets, Perry still felt the match could have been a little tighter as her players spent the first two sets completely out of sync.
"I don't really know what happened with our girls in that match," says Perry. "We were just not in the right place at the right time. By the third set they were doing a little better but, again, it was too late."
Maisy Ramsey did fire off three kills in the match, Pannier tallied two solo blocks and Stella Newman finished with eight digs.
The Titans continued to struggle with disjointed play against Custer County later that day. While Custer County is another quality program, the Titans typically match up well against them.
"They're a good team but we always compete and battle with them and beating them is realistic," says Perry.
After losing the first set, the Titans came back to win the second set only to drop the next two to lose the match.
"We were just out of sync and not in tune," says Perry.
Pannier had a strong match at the net with six kills and two solo blocks. Maya Chandler worked hard to record 18 digs and Washburn finished with 15 assists.
The Titans remain at home this Friday, September 22 when they host Cripple Creek and then head out on Saturday to face South Park. Perry is looking for her girls to get back on track with these next two matches as they should take down Cripple Creek and then put up a good fight against South Park.

Thai Airways shares leap; Cathay Pacific falls. Qantas performs worse than Indian carriers this year
Thai Airways' shares (+11.1%) leapt yesterday, presumably on either rumour or inside information about a government support programme coupled with credit restructuring. The flag carrier is searching for a suitably strenuous corporate restructuring plan, which will provide a basis for the government to provide loan guarantees - and in turn allow the carrier to roll over its current short term debt facilities and/or find new ones.
Cathay Pacific (-6.3%) was the downward leader yesterday, despite only a modest loss on the Hang Seng generally. The carrier has been facing up to the difficulties of a large delivery schedule, as its key network markets decline steeply.
Malaysia Airlines (+5.1%) meanwhile regained most of the ground it lost yesterday.
Hainan Airlines (+8.5%) showed another good rise (see below under 1Q09 report).
For daily updates on American aviation stock prices and a complete wrap of the day's breaking news, sign up now for a complimentary subscription to America Airline Daily.
Asia Pacific selected airlines daily share price movements (% change): 31-Mar-09
Quarterly Share price report: 1Q09
Hainan Airlines shares have outperformed all other airlines in the region this year, with a more than healthy 51.9% rise since 02-Jan-09. The carrier's outlook is better than most, with a strong position in the Beijing market and, a longstanding dispute with the bankruptcy estate of Dornier Aviation (North America), Inc. (DANA), was resolved in Feb-09, when Hainan paid the trustee $14,950,000 in consideration of the settlement.
The Chinese airline market overall has staged something of a recovery this year, as last year's extremely negative figures started to improve. China Southern (15.2%) and Shanghai Airlines (11.8%) each gained solidly, while Air China (+2.9%) was more modest. Even struggling China Eastern has managed to stay above its January level.
Across the Straits, China Airlines (+10.7%) and EVA (+10.0%) have both benefited from the encouraging start to direct services, with the hope of more to come - despite the downturn in freight markets.
At the other end of the scale, Australian airlines have fared badly. Qantas (-34% this year) has suffered greatly following a capital raising, designed to protect its credit rating. Indeed, but for a substantial recovery in the airline's share price over the past couple of weeks, the fall would have been much larger.
Virgin Blue (-18.8% this year), too, with shareholder uncertainty, capacity cutbacks and a perilous venture into long haul operations across the Pacific, have helped anchor the downside.
Indian carriers, unsurprisingly in their turbulent market, were also on the downside. Kingfisher (-20.1%), Spicejet and Jet Airways (both -18.4% for the year) have each lost around a fifth of their market capitalisation.
Selected Asia Pacific carriers share price growth for the first quarter ended 31-Mar-09

Automotive budget is an integral aspect of your financial plans. However, budgeting is a lot more than just saving money. Rather, it is about understanding the different expenses associated with car ranging from frequent maintenance, repairs and insurances too.
But what happens when you become a victim of car repair that you had never expected? Such scenarios can drastically affect your finances. If that sounds familiar then you have arrived at the perfect destination, this article will focus on the 5 essential tips that can be utilized for budgeting the expenses of your car perfectly.
Let's Focus on the Important Tips
As mentioned before there are five tips that you must follow when dealing with the budget of your car and they are:
· Discover an ideal mechanic near you and make the most of them: Take recommendations from friends, family members or colleagues about the different mechanics near you, and understand why they recommend a particular professional. In addition to that, look for those who specialize in handling the type & model of car that you own. Along with that do make sure that the automotive service centre is certified by a reputable organization like Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), as this would be a reflection of the quality of services that you are going to receive.
· Take free estimates and compare: Once you have identified the reputable service centers near you, the next step is to gather optimal information about the desired car repair services. To do this, you can request for a free quote from the different companies that you have shortlisted. Later, you can compare these quotes and pick a suitable option. Moreover, the estimates provided by them can even be beneficial in formulating your budget.
· Follow Preventive Maintenance: A good method to save yourself from unwanted high expenditure of repair services is to get your car regularly checked by a competent mechanic. For example, if your car undergoes the specified logbook services then you will able to trace the signs of any damage much before anything turns severe, and this can indeed help you in saving a lot on your car repair services.
· Do-it-yourself, if Possible: This is yet another interesting way to cut down the expenses of repair services, where you can invest on a simple manual, in order to figure out what went wrong with your car. Though it is a great idea, it should be avoided by those who have never handled automotive parts before, since at times DIY services causes more damage than actually fixing the issue resulting in high expenses.
· Get Discounts & Rewards: There are many resources out there that come up with discount coupons and rewards for automotive services. In fact, certain companies even provide loyalty points and other value added services that would decrease the expenses of car repair services by a huge extent.
Both quality and price of Car Repair services matters
A golden rule of thumb when preparing the budget of your automotive repair is that both the quality and the price of the services matters equally. The aim here is to unleash those services that are value for money, and where there is no compromise in the quality of services. At the end of the day, one can seldom imagine their lives without cars.
Therefore, take optimal time to research, plan and think when you are working with the automotive budget. And never forget to implement the aforementioned tips, as they can help you to save a lot on your car repair expenses.

Recently overheard at my house:
"no, you must finish your french fries before you can have any more broccoli."
ok, seriously. The kids are making me so crazy with their food issues, that I am clearly losing it. We have a dinner system in our house. Every other night we try "new" foods. "New" foods are those the kids hate. They have either not had them before, or are on record hating them. These include anything not in the list of foods they like. On the non "hate" days, we have foods they like. These include (the very limited list of): pasta, tacos/nachos, steak sandwiches, pizza, chicken nuggets, and quesadillas. On the "new" food nights, the kids are given 3 bites of meat, 3 bites of veggie, and 3 bites of starch (i make a pretty traditional plate). They must eat these 3 bites in order to leave the table, and have anything else. And many nights result in at least one person crying (sometimes even the kids). Gotta love dinner in my house.
But there are weird anomalys. The 2 younger kids LOVE broccoli. Love it. B is the most flexible liking several other things (chili, chicken soup). K is the worst but does like tomato soup and quiche (in full disclosure, something I hate!). Big Man used to be great, but is now among the worst, except for his love of broccoli.
I started a new rule this week that nobody can talk badly about dinner. They have to eat it and shut up. I hope this passes soon. I can't handle it. I have tried having them help cook - they still won't eat it. I have tried having them help set the menu - no good.
But we will persevere. I can't go back to being a short-order cook and giving them only the crap they like. Sadly, we have had this plan going for about 9 months, and it is still a nightmare!

Quick and Easy Gift
Saw this awesome tutorial and thought I would try it. They are fast, easy and cheap.
1) buy a few 1/2 yards of fleece in different colors/patterns
2) cut them into 6" widths (the length of the fabric)
3) sew 2 of them together right down the middle (just eye-ball it)
4) cut fringe the whole length (making sure you don't cut through the middle)
That's it. So easy. When fleece is on sale, you can make these for less than $1 each! The girls are making these for their friends. They have helped me sew them and are cutting all the fringe. Have fun and try lots of different patterns/colors together!

Still a few Days Left
If you celebrate Hanukkah, or are celebrating with someone who is, you MUST make these. They are in the current issue of Family Fun, but I can't find it on their website.
Anyway, they are so easy. They whole container of Fig Newtons took about 20 minutes to turn into these awesome dreidel cookies. Four simple steps:
1) cut fig newton into point on one end (save the pieces, they make a great snack!)
2) outline the cookie in white icing
3) try not to mangle the Hebrew letter that you copy from the magazine in blue icing

One Last Advent Tradition
This week I also was rushing to get ready for one last Advent tradition. Each year I gather up all our Christmas-themed books, wrap them up, number them, and stick them under the tree. Each day of December a kid opens one of the packages, and that book is added to our nightly reading.
The kids love it, and I try and add a few new books every year.
I should note that this is in addition to reading the little bear Christmas story - The Advent Storybook. This book is awesome. It has a short (one page) story for each night of Advent, that tells about a little bear's journey to Bethlehem. It is a really cute story, and has some great lessons.

Advent Calendar Just Like Mom
In the 70s, my mom made an advent calendar out of felt that we used every year when I was growing up. A few years ago, my Dad and I searched the house and couldn't find Mom's calendar. I was bummed, but made due with other stuff. This year, I decided I would make my own.
Of course, I decided this abourt 4 days before December 1. Not much time. But thanks to my friend Kathy, and the Dollar store, we got it done just in time. My calendar isn't perfect by any means, but I think its cute, and looks a lot like Mom's. I did cheat and use about 6 ornaments from the Dollar store, which I may replace before next year. Each day, a child will remove an ornament from the grid, and add it to the tree. The star goes up last, on December 24th.
We did this free hand with random felt, glue and string. Very easy. Enjoy!

Bombairiya Hindi Movie ReviewFeature Film | Drama
One bad cop, two funny cops, one thief on a pink scooter, the police commissioner, a priest, two witnesses, a movie star with a crush on his PR girl, movie star's politician wife, a bad politician in jail, his mostly terrified manservant, movie star's driver, two Sardars who win a radio contest to meet the movie star, the radio jockey who is supposed to help the two sardars meet the movie star, a shopkeeper lad, an assassin, a chap who tries to save the heroine, his parents, parents and a girl in an arranged marriage scenario with the chap, the heroine's dad, and the heroine: The PR girl of the movie star. Oh yes, there's the heroine's granny too (whom we hear on the phone). That makes 27 actors in a chaotic setting in Mumbai (and I'm not counting the news anchor reporting crime and asking the commissioner questions).
It's a great attempt to tell a story that connects all these characters to a plot that is slowly revealed. The digressions themselves are really funny, and sketch comedy like, but does this make a good film? Let me confess to you that I laughed at the funny one liners and ridiculous situations the characters find themselves in. Like when the chap who tries save the heroine is in his car with his mom and dad and the heroine, and the parents think there's something going in between the two young people. They are getting away from an arranged marriage situation where the girl turns out to be a lesbian person. When the mother asks what the word 'lesbian' means, the heroine explains how in a mythological story a baby was brought up by two women. That relationship is 'lesbian'. The mother decides then that they should sing a bhajan thanking their stars that the son was saved from marrying someone who did not want a man. The heroine knows the bhajan too. Now the director could have just shown the discomfort by having only the mother sing, but no! The heroine is persuaded to sing it too, and the chap enjoys the heroine's discomfort and grins as he drives the car.
Weird to read this, right? But all the characters in the car are so good - the mother oblivious to the whole thing, sings; the dad has seen the 'lesbian' girl kiss the heroine to thank her from saving her from a marriage and is suspicious of the heroine who is supposedly his son's girlfriend; the chap has had his life turned upside down in trying to help the heroine, and the heroine is stuck with the lad because the thief has her phone and she has called the thief with the lad's phone...
Yes, the chaos is confusing. But it was funny to hear the 'lesbian girl' say that she will have to do another Masters program in the US because that is easier than explaining to the parents why she does not want to marry a man.
The movie star is in love with the PR girl, our heroine, and wants to sort out why he made that video of her showering. But he cowers in front of his politician wife who orders him to take a selfie to prove that he is alone. The phone conversation between them is really funny. Ravi Kishen and Shilpa Shukla say the silliest lines with lots of seriousness.
Akshay Oberoi plays the lad who interferes in the argument between the heroine (Radhika Apte), and the thief (Siddhant Kapoor). The three are so good, they make you believe that this implausible series of events is part of their day. The film sort of crashes in the end because the assumption and proof that all these characters who get embroiled in a terror plot are really nice people and that the bad guy was being manipulated by someone even worse. The caper goes on for too long and the funny bits sort of trail away... The biggest problem with the film is that it is too clever. The baddie talks on the phone about finding the heroine and the car with all of them singing that bhajan goes right under the bridge where he's standing...
This ensemble cast and their stories could have been tighter, but no. So even if you have guffawed, you end up feeling as harried as Radhika Apte does when she realises that she's having a really, really bad day.

Reflection on Today's Daily Readings by Fr. Bertrand Buby, SM
Today's Readings
Scripture: Friday, Sept.17th. Lectionary # 447. I Cor.15:12-20. Psalm
17:1.6-7.8.15. Luke 8:1-3:
This short pericope from Luke is an excellent sequel to what we read and
meditated upon yesterday in the hospitality offered by the unnamed woman
who washed Jesus' feet and dried them with her hair. Today women are
featured in the background theme so familiar to us in Luke. He likes
dinners as we have seen, but today we learn about his fondness for
journey-making with Jesus. Soon we will begin the long journey narrative
in Luke from chapter 9:51 up to Luke 19:44 where the strewing of palms in
front of Jesus occurs as he enters the holy city of Jerusalem on a donkey.
That long stretch of narratives from Luke is called the "journey narrative"
and it has as its purpose to show us the cost of our discipleship while on
the journey with Jesus. The learning of what discipleship is all about
occurs here in the narrative, but today's short passage also foreshadows
the longer journey we are to take with Jesus as we meditate and learn from
the Gospel of Luke about ourselves as disciples.
Jesus is journeying thorugh the towns and villages preaching and
proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve, later to be
called apostles, are following him and then we learn from Luke that there
are some women who also join the journey of discipleship. They are named!
Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Susanna. They not only follow Jesus but offer
him nourishment and help from their own means and possessions. They assist
him. We have seen how Peter's mother-in-law, once healed, got up and
ministered to Jesus. This action and the following of these women is
sacramental for they are encountering the Lord Jesus in what they do and
how they follow him.
These women will demonstrate greater courage and fidelity than the Twelve
who already have been named. They will continue to the end of the journey
and be present on Calvary as Jesus dies on the Cross and will be the first
to go to the tomb to honor Jesus and to continue the kindness of burial
ritual. Mary of Magdalene will become the first to announce Jesus'
resurrection. We can be rather certain that Joanna and Susanna were either
near Jesus as he died or watched from the distance controlled by the Roman
We will hear of the hospitality offered by two other sisters, Mary and
Martha and how their home became an oasis for Jesus when he needed to get
away and just be with friends. The lessons keep popping up from the texts
as we learn about these women in Luke's Gospel. All of these women were
united to Jesus and followed him. They knew his mother and how she, too,
would be standing at the foot of the Cross while her son's heart was broken
and pierced just as hers was spiritually. We can learn much about
discipleship by paying attention to the women who were on the journey with
Jesus. Amen.

Italian high-end mannequin manufacturer uses SinoScan's technical expertise for development and sourcing of high-quality components
When Italian football club A.C. Milan presented its red-and-black jersey for the 2016/17 season, it was draped on a gold-plated bust from mannequin manufacturer, Almax Group.
When Almax Group were facing challenges in their Chinese supply base, they turned to SinoScan Group.
Executive Summary
The market-leading Italian mannequin manufacturer, Almax, operate a manufacturing facility in China which accounts for 70-80 percent of total group production output. Through their six years of growth in China, Almax, have succeeded in bringing the very highest standards in design products to life in a setting very different from their native Italy.
Since 2010, SinoScan have been responsible for providing Almax with components and subassemblies and for ensuring that they consistently live up to the exacting quality requirements of an Italian high-end design brand.
Additionally, SinoScan have provided design and engineering services on component modifications and managed their implementation.
Almax FACTS
mannequin manufacturer
years of cooperation with SinoScan
Parts / Subassemblies
sourced through SinoScan China's sourcing division
In China, Almax, operates a well-functioning manufacturing operation experienced in handling production of the main mannequin parts as well as end-product assembly. Today, this operation accounts for more than 70 percent of the total production output of Almax.
However, inconsistencies in the performance of local part suppliers on industry-critical quality requirements such as surface finish, presented a definite challenge to the smooth operation of end-product assembly and delivery.
SinoScan FACTS
parts in Assortment
Total Quality Compliance
How SinoScan Helped
During the initial stages, SinoScan handled selection of component suppliers, technical documentation, price negotiations, tooling and sample production, testing, quality assurance, and material certification.
As each part made it into regular production SinoScan continued to serve as a supplier to Almax, managing all aspects of daily sourcing operations.
Throughout the process all project management and customer contact has been handled by SinoScan China's local engineers ensuring the quality of both the final product and daily communication.
"It is a pleasure working with SinoScan China's engineers. They are smart, service-minded and have built a strong working relationship with us."
Francesco Spinoglio, Operations Engineer, Almax Group
Results and Bottom Line
Contracting SinoScan as their supplier, Almax has been able to acquire the needed stability in part supply, ensuring an optimal use of internal resources and smoother product delivery times.
"Working in a dynamic environment such as China you will always need to stay adaptable, but over the years of cooperation with SinoScan we have reached a level of consistent quality that we are very satisfied with", says Operations Engineer in Almax Group, Francesco Spinoglio.

Been avoiding writing this, don't want to recall what happened it hurts too much, but I know I have to, then I won't have to look at it again if I don't want to – better out than in.
My arrest and night in Wellington police cells was going fine until the last three hours, then it all turned to shit because I was transported in a very cold NEW van into cold court cell, further delays and an arsehole guard looking after me. People with stress disorders (in stressful situations) must be treated the same as people in shock, first thing you do is keep them warm, being cold adds to trauma/stress. That is what should be on my court transfer papers not that I make vague threats of self-harm – WTF. The design of that NEW transport staff were gloating about is absolute crap and harmful to those inside the boxes.
Start from the beginning
As I didn't turn up for court on Monday, as I had been turned down by the OT for health services and still didn't have a lawyer I knew there would be a warrant out for my arrest. Chickened out doing a protest in Masterton so I would get arrested, too scared of police here. Went over to Wellington chalking and then started on my mission.
Headed for Supreme Court to do some chalking about justice and how I completely blamed the judiciary for discrimination against mentally ill people and allowing government to criminalise and persecute them, deny them professional health care. Then headed up to Treasury building and left a message for Treasury wankers – photos on my facebook page. Held them to account for the appalling mental health stats as well – did a few swastikas and called them murderers as well – I know they hate it. Then headed for Human Rights Commission, from which I am trespassed.
Nutted off at this old guy in reception and a group of people having a meeting about some bullshit. I was in total fire breathing dragon mode, told them exactly what I thought of them and their responsibility for mental health crisis, suicide, NZ being No 1 for child suicide, self-harm in women and family violence. Left before police arrived heading for my next target – didn't make it 🙂
Have photos on my facebook page /jrmurphypoetmusician did a couple of videos of the chalking a few photos at the Human Rights Commission. Its like lala land up there, those people are completely out of touch with reality and refusing to accept the seriousness of what has gone on in mental health due to an economic theory taking over from constitutional, health and justice rights.
Was arrested on Lambton Quay with my large naked torso painting a couple of cardboard signs and my big over shoulder satchel with chalk pens paper etc in it. Was funny knowing they were coming, saw them to my left, I was heading towards Willis Street across from Midland Park. They put on their lights, quickly did a u turn and jumped out of their car to aprehend me lol. Told them to calm down I knew I was going to be arrested, that's why I had come to Wellington – strange to them of course. I was picked up on warrant for breach of bail for not attending court. Not for nutting off at the dick head at the HRC and breaching a trespass order. WAs prepared for it to happen though.
Tried to talk them out of handcuffs but couldn't, managed to get them put on in front of me which is so much less oppressive/scary/vulnerable than behind your back. She also did it really loosely on my right wrist cause told her I get arthritis in it.
Male officer told me handcuffs were for theirs and my safety – lol – brainwashed. Not in my situation they're not – its one thing I hope the UN can look at having a restriction on police using handcuffs, particularly in a public place. They were OK, just following the book and treating me like any criminal who had a warrant out for their arrest.
Got back to the station and got processed, almost everybody was nice, were surprised to see me back. The woman I had a run in with last time came and talked to me a few times, said she was pretty stressed with work etc last time I was there and sort of apologised, we made peace – that's the main thing.
Didn't sleep all night but was able to read a book, which I couldn't last time because my stress levels were too high. I can't hold the story in my head when very stressed, even this time there were a few times I had to re-read paragraphs because I hadn't absorbed what I just read. Its a horrible part of Complex PTSD and a lot of people don't understand it, can make you feel really stupid and like you going mad. I worked out over years, it comes and goes depending on my stress levels.
I was OK with going through the police process I had gone over it in my head many times. Had all the same guards as last time just in a different order, they were really cheerful and nice. Told them I was in a much better state than last time and just wanted to get through the process and get things sorted out. Last time I was self-harming and really distressed, this time I was really chilled out.
Had a guy come into the cells about 6pm who banged and yelled most of the night, then started up again in the morning – when I get stressed too, cause you don't know what time is and all the guards disappear to organise transfers etc. Handover is at around 7am. So in the morning he sets off sprinkler in his cell and flooded something else by the sounds of it, lol, all the male prisoners were put in the female section – was weird seeing the guys – cause you never do. They have it set up so people can't see each other – I'm all good with that, few of them looked dodgy as. They handcuffed him and put him in the Female Day cell that I can see from my special window/mental health cell. Gave him the thumbs up for what he'd done, I was bored too.
As 11pm shift came on I asked if I could go in the bigger cell to prepare myself for going in the van in the morning, like I had spoken to Stuart about – when I made a comment about my first visit and how they could improve it. He was a pommy guy with a bald head, manipulative power tripper. So a group of them are outside my cell and he makes a comment about me being a Human Rights activist in a mocking tone then tells me he will think about the change of cell and tell me in the morning – he didn't. I worried about it all night, because had a bad feeling I would have a meltdown in the morning – which I did and are really horrible. He purposely denied my request and kept me guessing to exert his authority and disempower me – and it would have had even more impact if I didn't understand psychology of abusive power relationships. so I'll be making a complaint to police about it. That is the sort of person who SHOULD NEVER BE in a position of power over others.
Got to have a shower at around 4.30am and had an early breakfast, 3 weetbix milk sugar & a milo. Should have asked for something to take with me, didn't realise how long it would be until I had food again – and I have diabetes issues if I don't eat reguarly – especially having been up all night, when your body needs extra food. I learnt that years ago, if you want to stay up all night at a party you have to keep eating throughout the night, its your body running out of fuel that makes you tired.
Reluctant to get in the van in the morning, they just turn up to take you, it freaks you out, I need to know what is going to happen to mentally prepare – fuck them!!!!
Van to Lower Hutt was really cold, 2 metal boxes in back of a van, 4 men sitting close together in one side and 2 women in the other. First time I've had someone to talk to during transport, she was a regular visitor, knew the system well, but we avoided why we there.
We change to the NEW truck for trip over Rimutakas, it has about 10 metal boxes with individual windows – the staff were gloating that it belonged to Wairarapa and Hutt were jealous they didn't have anything that flash. Obviously they have never spent any time in the back – I have got to get something done about the design or they going to have lots more people flipping out like me.
I refused to get in this van, he had to take my arm, but I did'nt resist past that, these metal boxes are only as big as your body and solid except for small windows. Killer on your back, when you get jolted over bumps, there no padding its just a stainless steel bench about 1m square – FREEZING COLD AGAIN. Not only cold thick metal there was a blast of cool air blowing down from directly above that you couldn't get away from, it either went on top of your head or if you sat hard up against back it went onto your body and legs, which felt even colder.
Someone yelled out to guards to turn the fans off at about Upper Hutt, guards told him they were for ventilation, I chimed in that I wanted them off too, I was fkn freezing.
I got colder and colder – sooooo bad for my stress disorder – people under extreme stress are supposed to be kept warm. Got angrier and angrier too. When I got to Masterton refused to move – couldn't move – I don't know, but didn't get out of van for about 5mins – they didn't know what to do. When I finally did because I thought they were going to get more physical two women were standing at end of truck. I angrily asked WHAT ARE YOU – they were detectives, one of them said how she had heard about me in a nice enough voice – I have got lots of supporters in the police – my response as I went past was a vicious GET FUCKED. Was angry at the police for putting me through this shit, through all of this shit letting ACC manipulate them and refusing to investigate my complaints about them.
Was put in women's holding cell at Masterton Court – it was fkn freezing as well, blasting cool air and a vent that went directly outside I could see through. We had arrived about 10.30am from what I can gather, I wasn't feeling very well coming over but was so fkn angry ignored it. Got there was so cold put x2 on my ReFuSe tag I left two weeks ago. They wouldn't give me my shoes, eventually they gave me a museli bar at around 12pm – I had breakfast at 5am – they were told I had diabetes issues, it should be on my transfer notes I have to be offered food at regular intervals, they know the time I don't – WTF. Grrrr That's what those notes are fucking for – not a pile of disgusting offensive bigotry.
I sang Why Am I Arrested, Human Sewage and I wish I was dead with all loud drumming required on the walls – which went through the whole building I now know tehehehehe. Some young people in other cells made comment about me 'that protester', also came to look at me through the window when one of them was wandering around. Said something about me being Crazy – not me the crazy one dumarse – sometimes young people grrrrrrrr.
After singing revolting old white guy guard came to tell me I was embarrassing myself – trying to degrade me – oppressive and wanting to make me feel even more marginalised. Again, lucky I know these sorts of tactics and can shake off most of their shit – but always a bit that sticks and makes you feel like shit. Those are the comments that go on a loop in your head when you sink down into the well/darkness and consider all the good reasons you should kill youself. I'm sure I'll have to deal with that in the next few weeks – I'm sure there will be fallout from Thursday's meltdown.
Then the arsehole said I was up next, ie first after lunch, They called out 4 names before I STARTED LOOPING OUT – I was so distressed and so cold started losing it, started ticking by banging my whole body back against the door making a really loud noise, felt sooo good, calms me, its like a heartbeat and because its so violent on your whole body you can't think of the anything else and it calms down the 'panic attack' you about to have – that happened later when outside. Telling someone something is going to happen and then it not happening is another psychological torture method and what the guard in Wellington did. An abuse and perversion of power – it is very common but should not be tolerated in people working in police etc. (Have found out since guards were pissed off with delays too, it was court staff who delayed my appearance – same court staff I gave shit to recently for not providing CCTV footage.)
Guard came along trying to get me to stop, turned the fan on full blast so I was even colder, turned the light on and off several times. I was freaking out because of what had been happening and him lying to me, then he didn't know what to do when I started freaking out more than he expected and the judge knows about it, cause the whole building can hear me. If I'm causing that much fuss, then he has failed his job and EVERYBODY knows it.
I knew bus back to Carterton was at 1pm and it was 12, I got out at 1pm, with no time to walk to the bus stop 10 mins away.
My old public defence lawyer Susie turned up, which was a welcome sight as I was in full freak out mode pacing around the cell. She spoke to the judge when i was up, told judge not-guilty and case now set down for 25 June. They kept saying the police don't oppose bail – because this is the third time I havn't turned up for court and violated my bail conditions. Of course police don't oppose bail – that might be a bit much considering they put me here – they wouldn't want to be reminded of what they have done grrrrrrr. Police prosecutor in court looked ashamed, wouldn't look at me.
After Susie spoke I made sure I had my say, without following any rules – except trying not to swear, it was pretty obvious I was really pissed off and really freaked out. Not many people get to address the judge like I do but there was NO WAY I was leaving that courtroom without her knowing about Geneva Healthcare refusing me OT services and still not having a lawyer – which Susie told her anyway. It was Judge Morris, I Know her and she knows my situation quite well, was still all I could do not to swear at her for allowing this to go on for years. Like I said, I have never hurt anyone, they hurt me.
I reakon they left me until last so there weren't many people in the gallery, they don't like the public seeing me go through the system because I have no respect for the judge or the process and give them shit – using their own laws. Quoted Magna Carta several times and reminded her I said two weeks ago when I saw here I wasn't voluntarily participating in teh justice process until I had health care I need and lawyer I need.
They know at court making me wait stresses me out – they've accommodated this aspect of my disability before – why not now, when I'm in an even more stressful situation do they now ignore it? They could have changed the order, they knew I was going to arrive the night before. grrrr, will be bringing this all up in my complaints to police AGAIN – that they will never listen to but I have to do because nobody else does grrrrrrrrr.
Told court staff to go get my painting and bag etc because I would not be going to the police station to pick them up like last time – I don't want to see those motherfuckers at the moment – especially that dark headed bitch on reception.
Waited in the bail room, at least slightly warmer, but I was chilled to the bone. NEK MINIT started crying uncontrollably, that heartbroken cry where you can't even close your mouth and you dribble onto the ground in front of you as you sit there rocking, wailing, in such emotional pain. Your heart smashed to pieces by what you are being put through for asking for health care and justice you entitled to, for throwing paint on a white ribbon banner after being assaulted and threatened by police – plus knowing just how cruel and corrupt your government and so many others are.
Was let out, almost ran out of the court, got outside took two steps, stood there shaking, thinking – I had missed the bus, I was now extremely upset and would have to go to the park, find something sharp and spend the next few hours self-harming until next bus to Carterton. Didn't have anyone I could call to pick me up.
I became completely overwhelmed, my arms gave way & I dropped my paintings signs & bag just as my legs gave way from under me and I ended up on the footpath curled up in a ball on my side. I managed to sit up and started rocking and wailing/crying loudly – in a way that would make my broken heart feel some sort of relief from what had just happened to me. I wasn't there long and a woman came along and one of the guards from court came out. They were both very nice, the woman was from Te Hauora, I been screwed over by them several times, so I was scared of her, but when she offered me a ride home I had to ignore that and say yes – I had to get home – my homing beacon was on full strength and causes me huge stress if I don't listen to it. I wanted to be where nobody could see me melting down, it is so humiliating when it happens – it has only been this bad four other times in 15 years.
I couldn't keep my mouth shut with the woman, I tried, I didn't want to tell her anything, but all my biggest fears and worries were just tumbling out of my mouth, just like the anger does when I go 'tourettes'. I kept saying sorry, it was OK, it didn't matter, I just wanted to go home etc. She asked all the usual questions about a doctor etc, told her I don't have a doctor and why – that I havnt' seen one for over 2 years (1 for WINZ form last year doesn't count). Think she was pretty horrified at how unwell and unsupported I was, told her a little about not trusting Te Hauora. I didn't' have any bread or milk at home, was crying about how poor I was and how tired I was of being poor and there of course was not point in living in this shit hole country. etc etc. She gave me $20 I refused – I HATE CHARITY – she demanded I take it, I HATE PEOPLE WHO DEMAND I TAKE CHARITY, and from an organisation that has ensured I was taken advantage of and traumatised by a flatmate under their care, denied me care themselves and let me down when I was really unwell. A friend in the community who worked for Te Hauora for a short time told me what they thought of me, that lots of people had tried to help me, I just didn't want help. FUCKING SCUMBAG FUCKING LYING PIECES OF FUCKING GARBAGE. Same people I have made complaints about that were covered up and not dealt with you mean. They a big part of the bigoted rumour mill round here.
I'm sure the only reason I had that horrendous meltdown is the cold, it was like being tortured. It has left me feeling tearful and very very fragile, I don't want to go out anywhere – I can't anyway I"m so broke. I'm hoping I don't get a backlash in a few days, sometimes that can happen and I get highly suicidal and all the oppressive degrading things staff did/said will come back to haunt me.
At least Susie and even Judge Morris acknowleged that I had been punished and suffered in custody – which is why of course I wasn't prosecuted for breaching bail ($2,000 fine & 1 yr in prison is what they threaten on bail form for violations). Given I had sent them an email Thursday last week saying I was both mentally incapable due to my disorder and refused to attend, asking them not to make me into a criminal – they did anyway.
One thing pissed me off about Te Hauora lady, she spent at least 5mins telling me to take medication for my anxiety – WTF. Terrorised women are being put on medications to deal with teh inhuman and unsafe living situations they are being forced to endure by the government. Its sick, deeply deeply disturbing, immoral, unethical, unprofessional and ILLEGAL. I also explained I was a rescuer and helped lost souls pass over to the light, I was told by spirit not to take medication or it would affect my ability to protect myself spiritually. She didn't say anything after that – Maori understand spirituality a lot better than Pakeha thank God. They have a lot more respect for spiritual people as well – most Pakeha ridicule us – sad considering our entire legal system is based on christian principles of fairness justice and us being all the same before God irrelevant of our wealth and status on earth.
I'm having a chill out day today, my daughter is taking me out for brunch for mother's day which will be nice. Will try and stay in the present and not feel bad about the fact I can't afford to take myself out for brunch or anybody else. I will barely be able to afford to buy my daughter a present, its her birthday soon – my life would have been so different if I had health care and help I needed to return to work after I was raped. Fkn scumbag government, fkn terrorist murderers 🙁
My back is hurting, so trying to not do anything more to strain that after the trip over Rimutakas in truck, feels like a lower disc wants to move and I know what that means – not being able to sit down at all, only being able to walk around slowly or lay down and in agony for days. Its happened before. Obviously justice transport not designed for older people with aches pains & injuries.
People ask me why do I do this to myself, I can assure you it is actually helping me, it is very hard being really unwell at home on my own, its far more stressful than protesting and getting arrested. I get food I don't have to pay for, hot drinks, to talk to interesting different people who understand more about failings of mental health system than anybody else – police.
Some police are OK & actually respect what I am trying to do with my mental health advocacy work – trying to get a better journey through teh system for people who have traumatic stress disorders. I can assure everybody I DO NOT TRUST THE POLICE and nobody reading this should either – their are some real nasty pieces of work amongst them & most/all of the others will cover it up. As nice as some are there are others who are fkn aresholes and they all sit back and allow shit to happen. Wouldn't even be surprised if the cold transport was for my benefit – I would assume the new truck would have had heating. Police trying all those psychological torture tactics perhaps – when constable French said you'll see how bad police can be, is this what he meant?

As you read this, one of your best customers is about to walk. What can you do to stop customer churn and, instead, ignite loyalty?

Tamil fringe group protests against 'Kannadiga' Rajnikanth's entry in politics
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], May 22 (ANI): The Tamilar Munnetra Padai, a pro-Tamil group protested against Tamil superstar Rajnikanth's possible entry into politics here today, stating that he was a Kannadiga. The launched a protest outside his residence, following which security carted them away, as they shouted slogans against him. The protestors claimed that Tamil Nadu should be ruled only by the Tamils and being a Kannadiga, Rajinikanth should not come into the state politics. Security was already beefed up outside Rajinikanth's residence ahead of the protest. Earlier on Friday, while addressing the final day of Rajni-darbar the Tamil superstar said, after living in Tamil Nadu for 43 years and receiving the fans' appreciation, he has now turned into a 'true-Tamilian.' "I am 67 years old. I lived in Karnataka for 23 years and in Tamil Nadu for 43 years. I have lived and grown with you. You have been truly loving and welcoming and made me a true Tamilian. If I have to live anywhere in this world that will be in Tamil Nadu," he said. For the unversed, actor-turned-politician Sarath Kumar, in the past, labeled Rajinikanth an "outsider" Kannadiga, who stepped into Tamil Nadu to find work. This remark came after the Rajnikanth, at an event, observed that he misses actor-political satirist Cho Ramaswamy, at a time of "unusual political developments in the state," following the demise of late chief minister Jayalalithaa. His statement was touted to be in reference to Sasikala taking the reins of AIADMK. Kumar, who contested on the AIADMK symbol in the Assembly election from Tiruchendur in Tamil Nadu in May 2016, on this note, said that Rajinikanth should be careful about his comments on public platforms; adding that the former will be the first to oppose the Rajnikanth's upcoming movie '2.0' star, if he tries his hands in politics.

| Japalura yulongensis Manthey, Denzer, Hou & Wang, 2012
Mountain Dragons of the genus Japalura Gray 1853 have gained increasing systematic attention recently as a result of the availability of new, vouchered collections and a resurgence of interest in Indochinese agamid diversity. This is particularly true for the J. flaviceps Barbour, Dunn 1919 complex from southwest China. However, many species of the complex are still known from few historical specimens only, and little is known about their general biology and conservation status. As one of such understudied members of the complex, Japalura yulongensis Manthey, Denzer, Hou, and Wang 2012 was described on the basis of seven historical specimens from the type locality in northwest Yunnan, PR China in 1914. Little was known at the time of the general biology and conservation status of the species, and the species has not been documented in the wild since the original description. Herein, we report the re-discovery of this secretive species based on a series of newly collected specimens from the vicinity of the type locality. We provide the first accounts of body coloration in life and microhabitat preferences, expand upon what is known of the species' morphological variation and ecology, revise the morphological diagnosis of the species, and offer suggestions on its IUCN conservation status and protection status in China.

New York City Guide: A Comprehensive Guide to the Five Boroughs of the Metropolis: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Richmond
New York City Guide: A Comprehensive Guide to the Five Boroughs of the Metropolis: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Richmond
This volume is a detailed description of the communities and points of interest in all the five boroughs of New York City. It attempts, also, to indicate the human character of the city, to point out the evidence of achievements and shortcomings, urban glamor as well as urban sordidness. It is intended to give both the permanent resident and the visitor an intimate, accurate knowledge of the metropolis.
The New York City Guide is the companion volume to New York Panorama and is sponsored and published under the same auspices. The two are planned to complement one another. New York Panorama draws a large-scale interpretation of the city's life and history; the New York City Guide describes the component portions of the city.
The Guide represents a collective effort of employees of the Federal Writers' Project. They have been assisted by the suggestions and criticism of many distinguished authorities. The risk of error and omission -- always considerable in a work of this nature, despite every precaution -- is slightly increased by the fact that responsible authorities sometimes disagree. More serious is the problem of keeping pace, in print, with a dynamic metropolis that overnight replaces a century-old institution with a new triumph in modernity.
Thanks must be given to the hundreds of consultants and experts who generously contributed their advice. We are especially indebted to the Weyhe Gallery and the individual artists for permission to reproduce many prints, and to the Federal Art Project for photographs, prints, and art work. We are grateful, also, for the editorial assistance of the national office of the Federal Writers' Project, and of Harry L. Shaw, Jr., former Director of the Federal Writers' Project in New York City.
The opinions expressed in this book are the opinions of the writers and the editors and are not necessarily shared by the consultants, by the sponsors of the volume, or by the Works Progress Administration.
