She was a member of a religious community and they called it Chapel Farm and used the grounds as a retreat. "Although Mrs. Griscom oversaw every detail of the mansion's construction, neither she [nor] anyone else ever lived there, prompting neighbors to whisper she was waiting for the second coming of Christ," the article says. The estate was sold to Manhattan College at some point and Ms. Galuten and her husband, the late Jerry Galuten, bought the land-lease in 1987. Fires and vandals had gutted most of the house by that time and so the renovation process began—one that took them nine painstaking years, until they finally moved in to the more than 14,000-square-foot space in 1996. *** end quote *** [JR: Interesting?] # - # - # - # - # |

We'll analyze books and writers in a discovery/recovery effort. This first diary presents the work of the (perhaps) cult writer James McCourt. Who, you ask?

He grew up in Jackson Heights near the #7 IRT line, and went to Catholic schools. He graduated from Manhattan College in 1962. He then earned an M.A. at New York University and went on to study acting at Yale Drama School. From his partner, the photo editor Vincent Verga: After Lindenhurst High School, I went to St. Bonaventure University, and then to Yale Graduate School where in 1964 I met my life-partner, the writer James McCourt who had a deep and abiding friendship with the musical genius Victoria de los Angeles. (Her love and her art became a cornerstone of our lives together.)

2012-May-20MFOUND: Scoring the MC "dining"http://collegeprowler.com/manhattan-college/campus-dining/Campus Dining C+ Quick Stats Meal Plan Available? Yes Average Meals/Week 19 Freshman Meal Plan Required? Yes Mandatory 19-meals-per-week plan Student Favorites Dante's Den Plato's Cave The Manhattan College dining halls are very unpredictable, to say the least. At times, students can be very pleased with the food and love it. But then, the very next day, students can be very upset with the food and hate it—mostly Locke’s Loft. Luckily, Locke’s is a buffet-style diner and if you don’t like some of the foods in one section, you can get food from another section. Dante’s Den is also a diner that is fairly inconsistent with the food selection. They also require students to purchase food by using money on their student ID cards. Plato’s Cave is the most consistent cafeteria. It has a deli where students can make their own sandwiches (like Subway). It also has a section for hot food (chicken tenders, french fries, etc.). This diner is open until 11 p.m., but at that point, students need ACDs to get food. ACDs, or à la carte dining dollars, are part of a declining balance account which can be used at any dining facility for à la carte purchases. However, for the rest of the day, students do not need ACDs. The Leo Engineering Building has its own cafeteria, so engineering students don’t have to walk back to campus and then back down for classes. This cafeteria requires student meal swipes and is pretty decent; it is also right next to the campus bookstore. Overall, students may complain about dining's consistency with good food, but there is something for everybody. You will never see a student not eating—there is always something for everybody. Manhattan College may not be like other colleges and have some big-time restaurants or fast food places, but the dining halls are decent. If you don’t want anything from the College, you could always walk right down to Broadway and eat at many of the off-campus spots, like Burger King or Chinese. # - # - # [JR: C+? Argh!

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly… who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best , knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Thank you all for putting yourself in the arena with the Hampton Township Rotary club to dare to conquer a wish list for a talented , intelligent, young women who needs some help to win her battle in the arena. Because of your prayers, talents, and courage to help us and bring others to this worthy cause your victory is this, an apple computer, standing apparatus, service dog, paved driveway, first family vacation, an a renewed rotary club. The driveway is already paved, standing apparatus should be fine tuned this week, service dog is applied for, computer should be done by memorial day, God willing the family is in Orlando by June 23rd. For people who still want to be in the arena, this battle will be fought over years, Tierney will battle on for her PHD, rebuild her body, she will not fight alone, her faith will be beside her as she carries her cross to her destination of a beautiful life, but she can always use help. If anyone wants to help always feel free to call me at 973 729 0125 ext 202, or my cell 973 903 3559 to see what she may need to continue this magnificent struggle. As just another Rotarian of the Hampton club, again thank you for all you did, your reward waits for you at a place where there is no pain, or hurt, where people like you are not needed as you are here, continue the battle in your own arena, without your beautiful hearts and deeds the last three months would have just been another 90 days instead of the best 90 days of my life, thank you, Jude DiGidio # - # - # Veliz, Tierney [MC2011] [JR: Jude did a great service for our fellow alum.

My doc's opinion is that what is called dementia or such is actually the result of untreated high blood pressure making mush out of one's brain. This as he scared me into taking a bp med. I'm now 120/80 except when I write ENDNOTES. I urge all my fellow alums to have their BP checked when they give blood. (See the "head fake"?) AND, if you're supposed to be on meds, take them.

2012-May-22JHQ: Player, Gregory [MC2009] Valedictory Address at Spring Commencementhttp://www.manhattan.edu/news/greg-playerGregory Player To Deliver Valedictory Address at Spring Commencement Posted on May 17, 2012 Greg Player Manhattan College student Gregory A. Player, a 2012 graduate of the civil engineering master’s program, delivered the valedictory speech on May 19 at the College’s Spring Commencement. “The diplomas and certifications bestowed today simply serve as a baseline to measure both our learning and the personal success that derives from it,” Player said. He urged his fellow graduates to embrace the Lasallian heritage engrained at Manhattan College by using their own knowledge and achievements to serve others and better the world. “As the term commencement denotes, this is a beginning — the beginning of a longer journey to becoming leaders in the development of a safer, more ethical and more socially just future,” Player added. Player received his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Manhattan College in 2009. As an undergraduate, he served as class president, as a member of the Pen and Sword Honor Society, and was recognized with the Brother B. Austin Barry Medal for Civil Engineering. Player was also a Lasallian Scholar, a resident assistant, a L.O.V.E. trip participant, and has volunteered with the Adelphia Fire Company since 2001, earning the rank of lieutenant this year. Since graduating in 2009, he has worked as an engineering associate for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and most recently, as a project engineer for Public Service Electric and Gas Company in South Plainfield, N.J. “Gregory is a great human being who happened to be an excellent engineer,” said Moujalli Hourani, D.Sc., associate professor of civil and environmental engineering. “He is and will be forever a great Lasallian leader!” After graduation, Player plans to sit for the professional engineer examination to become licensed in New Jersey. He also will continue to pursue a career related to critical infrastructure project management and earn higher ranks within the fire service. Player along with nearly 300 students graduated from the schools of business, education and engineering with master’s degrees, from the school of continuing and professional studies with bachelor’s degrees, and from the school of education with professional diplomas. Students who completed their studies in September 2011, February 2012 and May 2012 participated in the ceremony. John Esposito ’69, former president and CEO of Bacardi U.S.A., Inc. and Bacardi North America, delivered the keynote address and received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree. # - # - # - # - # 2012-May-22 @ 09:25 |

Greed and corruption have a have a chicken and egg relationship. They breed each other. One can only favor both or oppose both. One cannot favor the chicken and oppose the egg. Greed is EVIL. Its good trappings are only a deception. The us was built on the work ethic off its founders. One can have a work ethic and not be greedy. The difference is that greed has no point of satisfaction, like an addiction. Slavery to an addiction is not freedom. Regards, Mark A. Mangone # - # - # Mangone, Mark (MC1977) [JR: (1) I disagree. I can be "greedy" without being "corrupt". What you describe as a "work ethic", I'd call "greed at work". You desire something and you work for it. You put up with all sorts of annoyances for the reward. That "greed" makes humans cooperate peacefully. (2) Now to "government corruption". There's "jumbo shrimp" writ large. You can't have Gooferment WITHOUT "corruption". It flows from the meme that anyone is permitted under any circumstance to FORCE people to do something. If you give me eggs for my milk. Peaceful exchange. No force. If you shortchange me, then I have the right to smear your reputation. Not call in some thugs to beat you up and take an egg. Get a bad rep and what are you going to do with your eggs? (3) Greed is never satiated. Sorry, but that is a positive feedback loop that leads to distraction. Even Hugh Heffner gets bored with beauties. The great supposed "robber barons" built libraries. (4) Only when the Gooferment gets involved do we see scandalous excesses. Bailout banks giving bonuses and campaign contributions. Argh!] # - # - # - # - # 2012-May-22 @ 08:55 |

Seem like everyone AWOL during the 50's to 90's when life was "good" and the living was "easy". By choosing not to "die" on the "hill" of Gooferment Skrules, the battle was lost.

Tom Quiner is a social and fiscal conservative who embraces capitalism generally and supply side economics specifically. He has been a frequent contributor to The Des Moines Register. He believes the powers of government should be used to ensure equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome. “The government that governs least governs best”, attributed to Thomas Jefferson, a Democrat, describes his view of government. Mr. Quiner suggests that if President Jefferson were alive today, he’d be a Republican.

2012-May-26ENDNOTE: Repeal the Law of Gravity too?http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=14215New York bishops recommend higher minimum wage CWN - May 04, 2012 *** begin quote *** The Catholic bishops of New York have issued a call for a raise in the state's minimum wage. *** end quote *** With all my sincere apologies to these holy men, why not recommend the repeal the Law of Gravity too. This way the poor, old, and suicidal will not be harmed. Why does this sound absurd, but "raising the State minimum wage" is not? Do these learned and holy men curse the rain when they get wet? OK, let's raise the minimum wage to 100$ per hour. Or 200$. Or a thousand. That's absurd. We can immediately see that no one will be employed. So why is it so hard to see that the minimum wage CAUSES unemployment. And, with unemployment comes poverty and human misery. I'm not for welfare by the Gooferment at all. (They can't do it right.) So, I'd pray that the Holy Spirit gives these men the Gift of Insight. That most every business person has. Gooferment can't help; it can only make us ALL poorer. Let put people back to work with meaningful tax reform. Let's get these "smart" people into their own businesses. That's how to improve the lot of the poor everywhere. imho. # - # - # - # - # |
