2013-Feb-03JHQ: Path covered and blue lightshttp://studentcommonsblog.manhattan.edu/2013/02/path-to-leo-and-rlc-will-remain-open.htmlFRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2013 Path to LEO and RLC Will Remain Open with Enhanced Security For our students traveling between the north and south campuses, protective sidewalk sheds have been erected along Waldo Avenue and Irwin Avenue adjoining the project site. A protective sidewalk shed covers the path to Leo Engineering and RLC. The pedestrian path will remain open 24/7 for the duration of construction on the student commons, except for brief periods when closures are necessary. The community will be notified about any closures. An emergency blue light station has been installed and is operational at about the midway point of the path. The path is fully lit and security cameras will be installed to provide live images to the main entrance Public Safety booth. In the interim, Public Safety officers will patrol the path on weekdays from 8 a.m. until shortly after evening classes end. # - # - # - # - # [JR: Sure when I froze my a double q off humping up and down that @#$% hill in the dead of winter or the lazing hot sun, no one did squat. But let a little construction debris fall on one of "the precious", they get protection. What no heaters or a moving sidewalk? In the bad snow, I remember running my scout up there between classes cause I was the only truck at the time capable of parking on the snow drifts. Was rather funny. The only time I didn't have to fight for a parking space. That mountain was all mine! Argh!!! Funny the stuff that still ticks me off.

2013-Feb-03JEMAIL: Apoldo, Lou (MC1963) concurs about a growing problemHi John,Like you I also am a fat old white guy injineer who really appreciated your Positraction comments on "fighting poverty." I'm proud to report that I have been a front line soldier fighting in the War On Poverty ever since LBJ declared the war in 1965. I worked!!! Our measure of success in the War on Poverty unfortunately has been how many poor people the gooferment handouts have "helped," when it really should be measured by how many poor folks were lifted out of poverty and are now productive and contributing members of our society. I attribute the increasing numbers of poor Americans to the nature of the gooferment handout programs that our greedy politicians keep developing, which are intended to only benefit the politicians who buy votes from the poor with handouts supported by our taxpayer money, in order to create lifetime jobs for the politicians. (This fact alone makes a prima facie case for term limits). The poor are kept only marginally supported with the handouts, just to the point where they are sufficiently satisfied to not be motivated to better their plight by getting better educated and actually working to become independent. Unfortunately, I believe that American has passed the tipping point to where there are more Americans getting free rides in the wagon than the number of Americans sweating to pull the wagon. I fear that the existence of fourth and fifth generation welfare clients only demonstrates that this trend will likely continue until there are not enough taxpayers and debt sources available to fund the growing gooferment handout programs, when America will face national bankruptcy because there is no entity on the planet that is large enough and rich enough to bail out America. That is when the "have nots" will begin rioting for their handouts that they have been conditioned to believe are their entitlements as Americans. That will be when the minority taxpaying portion of the population will give thanks that they can still defend themselves and their stuff from the marauding mobs by exercising their remaining Second Amendment rights. Keep your powder dry and stay locked and loaded. Lou Apoldo BCE '63 [JR: Glad to hear that I'm not the only one concerned. MOLON LABE! It's going to get messy. Just look at Greece!] # - # - # - # - # 2013-Feb-03 @ 12:00 |

Cathie is going in for some more tests on Wednesday. Please keep Cathie, Mike and their family in your prayers and please keep that volume up as we pray that the Mds are guided to what is causing Cathie such discomfort. This has been going on for a while now. Cathie is due a break. Thank you. God Bless. Phil Colon Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) # - # - # - # - # 2013-Feb-03 @ 12:03 |
2013-Feb-03JEMAIL: Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) forwards a Nason, John (MC1952) emailGood Evening,I received the following from John Nason, a dear friend to many of us and of course a member of our Prayer Group. The picture of Pope Paul, the story and prayer of the faithful are awesome. I could take up some space and tell you how this touched me but I will only say this, Trust in God and knowing Him through prayer is so important in our lives. Sharing those prayers through each of you in a sense completes us and gives us strength (As Jesus said, When two or more gather in My Name, I will be among you). Thank you John, Thank you All. Keep that volume up. God Bless. Phil Colon If you've seen this before it's definitely worth a second look. John You need not be Catholic to appreciate the power of this message and prayer; there is a message here for everyone. Fr. Al Pehrsson sent this beautiful message. May Blessed John Paul II intercede for all my family, friends and co-workers and their intentions. God bless all. Scroll all the way down for the prayer of the faithful. We don't know why John Paul II wanted to hide this picture for years. The Vatican published this picture recently, for the first time. This picture was taken by one of his security guards just when the Pope was attacked and was falling down in his Papamobil. You can see the pain in his face. Take a look at the above picture. You can seeMother Mary holding John Paul II in Her arms when he was shot in 1981. This happened on May 13, 1981. Pope John Paul II was shot as he arrived in St. Peter's Square to speak to the people who had gathered there. When he was shot, he was holding the rosary, which he always carried. When he fell to the ground, out of nowhere, a woman rushed to his side and embraced him. That picture is shown above. The picture is said to have been taken by one of the gathered people who was busy taking Pope's pics with his camera. The woman vanished as quickly as she appeared. The gunman was apprehended in the square and sentenced to life in prison. The pope was critically wounded but survived after surgery and a long recovery. The surprising fact is that all the bullets passed just past his vital internal organs. When he recovered finally, the first thing the Pope asked for was his rosary. When he got it in his hands, he said that he felt Mother Mary directing the bullet's path through him. Surely, John Paul II was always in the habit of praying the rosary regularly. He had once said, "the best prayer I like is the Rosary". Joaquin Navarro Valls, who is one spokesman from The Vatican, said that they made a lot of studies for years of this incredible picture and of course about the quality of the developing of the picture because when it was developed nobody could see very well because the image was not clear. Finally, and after so many controls and by looking and checking by all the experts in photography (around the world), they decided that there were no tricks in it and today they give us this beautiful gift from our Mother of God. You can see the Mother of God holding John Paul II in her arms. It is beautiful. I don't know whether You will believe me or not. But many do.. and among those who believed, Bishop Thomas Wenski recreated the picture on a glass window at his Florida residence. You can see that below. PLEASE READ WITH FAITH. This is an awesome prayer. Believe it and you shall be blessed. The problem with many of us is that we don't believe that God will open a window and pour out blessings that we won't have room to receive them. I dare anyone to try God. He is true to His word. God cannot lie and His promises are sure. Three things will happen to you this week: (1) You will find favor with someone you don't expect; (2) You will be too relevant to be ignored; (3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same again. My prayer for you today: The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hands that will send this message to others shall not labor in vain, the mouth saying Amen to this prayer shall laugh forever. Remain in God's love as you send this prayer to others on your list. Have a lovely journey of life! Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will never fail you because ................. He is AWESOME ! If you truly need a blessing, continue with this: Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to you that you abundantly bless my family, friends and me. I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in you. Father, I send up a prayer request for blessings for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded this message to. And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything. I thank you inadvance for your blessings. Father God, deliver the person reading this right now from debt and debt's burdens. Release Your Godly wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that You have given me Father, for I know how wonderful and mighty You are and how if we just obey You and walk In Your word and have the faith of a mustard seed that You will pour out blessings. I thank You now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come because I know You are not done with me yet . In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. TAKE 60 SECONDS and send this on quickly and within hours, you will have caused a multitude of people to pray to God for each other. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that you know He loves. Remain blessed! # - # - # - # - # [JR: I have know particular knowledge of this.
