A (Pre-55) All Hallows Eve Devotional Booklet from Ancilla Press
by Claudio Salvuccion September 25, 2020
It sometimes comes as a surprise to Catholics -- especially (if not also ironically) of those who tend to be of a more traditional bent -- that what we call "Halloween" was an official liturgical vigil of the Church. As such, it has had its own proper Office and Mass for centuries until it was abolished in 1955 along with so many other vigils and octaves.
Of course a number of other customs and devotions grew up around it. These are still even recognizable in our secularized modern version of Halloween where we still go out and beg for treats -- except without praying for the dead of the households we visit (as was the practice in "Merrie Olde England.")
I had, for some months, been doing intense research in this area and that work was poured into a little devotional volume that Ancilla Press published in 2009 called "All Hallows Eve Prayers and Devotions" as well as an article featured here on LAJ on what the day of Halloween looked like liturgically and devotionally. I was not, I think, exactly prepared for the overwhelming response to either.
Inadvertently exposing the hunger amongst Catholics to reclaim this holiday was, to me, a clear indication that this very popular vigil should never have been suppressed in 1955. Unfortunately, unlike many other aspects of suppressed tradition, it remains suppressed to this day -- as most of the traditionally-minded individuals and communities are using the 1962 books in which it does not appear.
Nonetheless, I believe that the true "Hallowe'en" will reappear once more on our altars after it is revived in our homes first. How can we do that? How can a few shattered pieces of the sacred liturgy and folklore compete with the commercialized observance of the same? Well I for one am hoping that this little devotional booklet could serve as a start.
In one sense it is a re-grounding in sacred tradition -- liturgical observances like the Office and the Mass and extra-liturgical practices like the recitation of Black Vespers for the deceased. It is also a re-grounding in folk practices like "souling" and praying for the dead. In another sense it can be a springboard into new devotions -- or at least new applications of old devotions. The distortions of the modern holiday gives us a perfect opportunity to offer prayers against the activity of demons even if these were not traditionally associated with October 31st: St. Patrick's Breastplate and the St. Michael prayer; and if the Chaplet for the Souls in Purgatory was not specifically written for the purpose of Halloween souling, it nevertheless makes a perfect way to - - as we were always meant to do -- return the favor of Halloween treats with prayers for the deceased of each household the children visit.
We hear much nowadays of the organic development of the liturgy and what can we mean by that except that practices can well-up spontaneously within the hearts of the faithful and eventually prove so useful, so salutary, so right, that they are incorporated into the Church's official books?

England behind on devolution
Moves towards regionalisation in England have brought about no significant devolution of power, according to findings published by the Local Government Association on May 8.
A panel chaired by Lord Dearing, found that Whitehall retains regional control, despite the creation of regional development agencies (RDAs) and the recognition of voluntary regional chambers last year.
The panel of cross-party councillors and council chief executives also concluded that there is an inverse relationship between power and accountability within the two bodies.
According to the report, RDAs have more power than the regional chambers but are less accountable than them.
Speaking at the launch of the report, Lord Dearing said: 'Power has been very largely contained in the Whitehall machine. We want to move from pushing out administration to democratic involvement.'
He added: 'Councils themselves must assert their role as strong partners at regional, local and sub-regional level to ensure that any changes to the machinery of institutions and strategies at regional levels keep decision-making as close as possible to people affected.'
The Local Government Association believes further regionalisation is inevitable and asked the panel to suggest ways in which local authorities may want to influence future change.
The report, Regional Variations, calls for greater devolution of power in England but recognises that a single model of regional government may not suit all areas of the country.
The report acknowledges that a 'city region' model may gain currency if mayors are elected in English cities over the next five years. But it urges the LGA to consider possible models for areas that do not fall into an obvious 'city region'.
l Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott revealed plans to strengthen the work of RDAs when he addressed the MSF union conference on May 8. He said the measures would be announced in conjunction with Chancellor Gordon Brown during the next Spending Review in July.

Esbjerg is located on Denmark's West coast and was once the largest fishing town in Denmark.
Today it is home to a ferry port and opens up the possibility of exploring Denmark by car thanks to the excellent road links.
Esbjerg is a common port for those looking to visit what has to be the best and original LEGO theme park in the world - Legoland Billund. This is a popular favourite with young families and many holidays focus around this one attraction.
Esbjerg has plenty to offer. The bustling pedestrianised centre is home to a broad range of shops, restaurants and cafes. Check out Esbjerg's heritage and stories of the by-gone era at the Fisheries and Maritime Museum just outside the city centre. The museum is also home to a well stocked aquarium too.
TRIED AND TESTED! I sailed on a rare Esbjerg and LEGOLAND mini cruise with DFDS. Read my review of the LEGOLAND Billund mini cruise here.
A visit to the imposing gothic Water Tower offers some fantastic views across the harbour and marshlands.
Both the Esbjerg Museum of Art and the Printing Museum are definitely worth a visit if this is your thing, and the iconic Man Meets the Sea statues are just a mere 45 minute walk away.
The city is quite small but there is plenty to do and it an ideal holiday destination to relax and unwind.
Copenhagen is within easy reach of Esbjerg and offers attractions such as the Copenhagen Opera House and the former stock exchange building, together with numerous museums, art galleries, bars, restaurants and cafes.
Sadly in 2014, DFDS ceased operating its Harwich - Esbjerg route due to economic reasons. At the time of writing it looked unlikely to return in the near future.
There are alternative means to enjoying a short break in Denmark by sea though.You will, however, need to book onto a crossing to either France or The Netherlands, and then drive onwards.
If you were planning on using the ferry from Harwich then the next best alternative route is the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry. Those in the north may prefer to use the Newcastle to Ijmuiden route or the Hull to Rotterdam route. Those in the south may prefer to use the ferries from Dover to Calais or Dunkirk.
Esbjerg is around 500 miles (about 805 kilometres) from Ijmuiden, 520 miles (about 837 kilometres) from Hook of Holland, 550 miles (about 885 kilometres) from Rotterdam, and around 660 miles (about 1062 kilometres) from both Dunkirk, and Calais.
Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, is around 190 miles (about 306 kilometres) east from Esbjerg.
For a more detailed guide on your alternative options check out my detailed guide to travelling to Denmark by ferry.

HIGH SCHOOL sweethearts Barry and Marlene Ford have loved and cared for each other through the decades. The Tamworth couple will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary on Thursday. The pair met by chance on a train at just 12 years old, only to find themselves in the same class on their first day of high school the very next day. "Marlene was coming back from Sydney and I was coming back from Newcastle in late January 1946, and we were on the same train," Barry said. "The next day, we started high school together and we were in the same class, and we were in the same class right through to fifth grade." READ ALSO: On August 27, 1955, the Barry and Marlene were married on what Barry described as "a very fine day". Marlene walked down the aisle of Tamworth's old St Andrew's Presbyterian Church wearing a dress hand-stitched by her mother. She was flanked by her five sisters and one sister-in-law, who all wore dresses sewn by Marlene's mum. After a night in Tamworth to wait for a train, "because not everyone had cars in those days", the happy couple set off on their honeymoon in Tweed Heads. Barry and Marlene said they still look through their wedding album sometimes. Barry, a retired accountant, and Marlene, a retired teacher, said they hadn't been asked before about their "secret" to a marriage which stands the test of time. But, Barry had the answer. "The best thing is we love each other and we look after each other and we enjoy life together," he said. Barry and Marlene had three kids, and now have four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren as well. The city of Tamworth has almost always been home for Barry and Marlene. The couple have even lived in the same South Tamworth house for the past six decades. "When we first moved here, we were virtually on the outskirts of town," Barry said. The Fords used to enjoy travelling overseas when they were younger. Back home, they loved going on picnics with their friends and the "whole tribe of young kids" who tagged along. For the past decade or so, the couple has been heavily involved in the Tamworth Historical Society. The Fords were thrilled to be celebrating their 65th anniversary. "We're really happy, it's a real milestone to achieve, which very few people do," Barry said. "We've been very fortunate," Marlene added. But, no plans have been made yet - the couple said they might enjoy a quiet evening at home. Want more local news? Subscribe to the Leader to read it here first Have your say.

Heard has acted in about 30 movies. Her debut film was Friday Night Lights alongside Billy Bob Thornton, which did fairly well at the box office.

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp: Their Beautiful Wedding to Their Messy Divorce
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp met while filming The Rum Diary, the story of an unsuccessful author and journalist (played by Johnny Depp) who falls in love with his boss' fiancé (played by Amber Heard). However, the real-life couple weren't officially together until 2012. Heard was overwhelmed by Depp's romantic gestures and during the early stages of their relationship —which included a horse!
The couple became the talk of the town when they revealed news of their engagement in 2014. On February 3, 2015, Heard and Depp got married in the Bahamas on Depp's private island. The newlyweds also became a part of a huge controversy when they smuggled their pet Yorkshire Terriers, Pistol, and Boo, in Australia. The issue surfaced on all the media outlets, and finally, Pistol and Boo had to be sent back to the United States.
In May 2016, Heard filed a temporary restraining order against Johnny Depp, after claiming that he had domestically abused her in December 2016. She also claimed that she had photos proving the horrifying incident. Another shocking incident came into the limelight when Heard confessed that Depp grabbed her by her hair and violently shoved her to the floor. The couple clearly showed signs of splitting up and were rarely seen together after these incidences.
On May 23, 2016, the couple filed for divorce, and the case concluded when Depp agreed to pay a sum of $7.0 million to settle the case. Johnny Depp's net worth didn't see any major changes after their divorce.

She Came Out in 2010 at the GLAAD's 25th Anniversary Event
Like every celeb, Amber Heard has also been linked to many stars. Her relationship with Johnny Depp, and their subsequent divorce, were highly publicized. What most people aren't aware of is that Heard opened up about being bisexual in 2010 at the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's (popularly known as GLAAD) 25th Anniversary event. She said, "I don't label myself one way or another—I have had successful relationships with men and now a woman. I love who I love; it's the person that matters."
This was the first time she talked about her relationship with the renowned artist and photographer, Tasya van Ree. They two were dating from 2008 to 2012. However, things seemed to spiral downward after Heard was arrested for an alleged altercation with von Ree at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 2009. She was accused of domestic violence after she struck van Ree's arm. However, after Heard appeared in court, the prosecutor did not file any charges against her.
She Donated $7.0 Million to Charity from Her Divorce Settlement with Johnny Depp
Amber Heard received an amount of $7.0 million after her divorce settlement with Johnny Depp in August 2016. Soon after the proceedings, Heard announced that she would be donating all of the settlement money to charity.
Heard further said that she would donate half of the amount to American Civil Liberties Union, to be put towards stopping violence against women. She also added that she will donate the remaining half to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, where she has been volunteering for the past 11 years. Both organizations were grateful for her immense contribution and even acknowledged their gratitude in separate interviews.
The actress has been a very committed social activist, who does not fear raising her voice against injustice. Heard has raised awareness on issues like domestic and sexual violence. Her outspoken nature is something which is very commendable, and we respect her for that.
Elon Musk and Amber Heard make a great couple and we would love to see more of them. Will we hear wedding bells ringing?

STATE PAPERS RELEASED today under the 30-year rule provide new details about the events going on behind-the-scenes during the hunger strikes of 1981 and other events.
Among the revelations are that British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher made attempts to end the strikes by offering concessions to the IRA through a secret intermediary. It is also reported that Bobby Sands was said to have made an offer to end his strike, a week before he died.
The year was also notable for the fire at the Stardust nightclub in north Dublin in which 48 people died. A senior adviser to Charles Haughey accused RTÉ of undermining the tribunal investigating the cause of the fire by airing an in-depth report into the tragedy.

When I decided to move to Destin I really wasn't that familiar with the area. I am an explorer by nature so I made it a point to explore everything and everywhere. Including all the coastal communities along 30A. From Destin, Miramar Beach, Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, Gulf Place, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, Watercolor, Seaside, Seagrove, Camp Creek, Watersound, Alys Beach, to Rosemary Beach. I discovered the charm and what makes this area so very special. It's also why people keep coming back. Including myself! If you have never visited the area I highly recommend you do so. You will be glad you did! Whether it's our glorious white sandy beaches, emerald waters, sunrises, sunsets, golf, tennis, biking, fishing, boating, dining, shopping, or simply relaxing. There simply isn't any place as unique and gorgeous as The Emerald Coast. It's so beautiful! I had the pleasure of joining the SRE, Sandestin Real Estate Sales team in 2007. I say pleasure because it took 4 years of perseverance to finally obtain the position. It is one of the most regarded Realtor positions in the State of Florida. I had wanted to be a part of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort since I moved to the area in 2001. Sandestin is my "Rudy" for those of you familiar with the movie. I bring several years of custom home building and real estate experience to our team. It was that experience, my love for the area, Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, and my clients that propelled me to the 2010 Agent of the Year with SRE, Sandestin Real Estate Sales, an accomplishment I am very proud of. I am originally from St. Louis (GO CARDINALS!!!) and I am an avid golfer. I now call Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort home. Hopefully, someday you will be able to call our area home too. Give me a call!

Shandler v. DLJ Merchant Banking, Inc., C.A. No. 4797-VCS (Del. Ch. July 26, 2010 (Strine, V.C.)
In this memorandum opinion, the Court of Chancery considered a motion to dismiss claims brought on behalf of Insilco Technologies, Inc. ("Insilco") by the plaintiff, a bankruptcy court appointed Creditor Trustee. Among other claims, plaintiff brought claims for breach of fiduciary duty against Insilco's controlling stockholder, a group of affiliated funds (the "DLJ Funds") allegedly dominated and controlled by DLJ, Inc. and DLJ Merchant Banking, Inc. ("DLJMB") (collectively, "DLJ"), and a group of DLJ-affiliated directors who comprised a majority of Insilco's board. The court held these claims could proceed in part. In 1998, Insilco had three primary divisions: (1) ThermaSys, an automotive components business, (2) a publishing business; and (3) a technology segment. DLJ allegedly utilized the DLJ Funds to acquire 74% of Insilco's common stock and thereafter appointed its designees as a majority of the board. Plaintiff claims the Insilco board, and DLJ as majority shareholder, then engaged in self-dealing to further DLJ's interests by: (1) causing Insilco to retain DLJ-related financial advisors (the "DLJ Advisors") in connection with several transactions and to pay those advisors excessive fees; (2) causing Insilco to sell ThermaSys to a company controlled by DLJ for an unfair price; and (3) delaying the filing of insolvency petitions for Insilco to allow DLJ to recoup some of its losses at the expense of the company.
In its analysis, the court found that plaintiff pled sufficient facts to proceed with his loyalty claim against four of the Insilco directors in alleging that the ThermaSys transaction was substantively unfair and implemented through an unfair process. According to the complaint, the board did not implement the typical strategy of appointing a special committee of independent directors to determine whether it was in Insilco's best interest to sell ThermaSys and to negotiate the terms of such a transaction. Rather, the DLJ-dominated Insilco board first determined to sell ThermaSys for $147 million to a DLJ affiliated entity and thereafter appointed a single-person special committee to negotiate the deal. After being appointed, the special committee made no effort to negotiate better terms or to seek other buyers, ratifying all prior actions of the board related to the deal within five days. Additionally, the special committee relied upon a fairness opinion by an investment bank, who plaintiff alleged had given DLJ a fairness opinion for the ThermaSys transaction just three weeks before being retained by Insilco in the same deal. Moreover, while the resolution creating the special committee indicated that its sole member was "completely disinterested," he had previously served as the CEO of a DLJ portfolio company for two years. The court found that such facts supported a rational inference that certain of the directors supported the ThermaSys deal to benefit DLJ at the unfair expense of Insilco. The claims against the other directors were dismissed.
As to the claim that the board breached its fiduciary duties by causing the payment of "excessive" fees to the DLJ Advisors, the court found that the complaint was void of any factual basis to support that conclusion. Likewise, the court dismissed plaintiff's fiduciary duty claim based upon "deepening insolvency," finding that plaintiff had failed to plead sufficient facts to support an inference that DLJ knowingly diminished Insilco's enterprise value by purposely delaying bankruptcy when DLJ knew that filing was the value-maximizing option.
In addition to his claims against the Insilco board, plaintiff brought the same fiduciary duty claims against DLJ. DLJ contended that the claims should be dismissed because DLJ, Inc., DLJMB, and the DLJ Funds were separate entities. The court rejected this argument, finding them to be a "family of entities" that acted jointly as if they were a single controlling stockholder. In reaching this conclusion the court considered the fact that the entities shared the same address and the same "officers or principals." Recognizing, however, that "the premise of controlling stockholder fiduciary responsibility is to hold the controller liable for actions it causes using its control of the company's board," the court held that plaintiff's claim for breach of fiduciary duty stood against DLJ only as to the ThermaSys transaction.

BMCC is on YouTube Edu
" width="500″ height="281″ frameborder="0″ webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen>
According to March 26 edition of The Wall Street Journal's Technology News and Insights, the new YouTube section, called YouTube Edu, is a result of a year's work on the part of "Google employees using their 20% time for outside projects".
By making the academic channels a distinct section, says the Journal, Google has now made it easier for people to deliver academic content to a broader audience. YouTube Edu lets viewers sort clips by school or number of views, and the schools offer content ranging from courses to campus events to information for prospective students, as well as faculty and student profiles.
BMCC in the forefront
While many colleges are about to tap into YouTube to share videos and stories about their faculty, courses, and students, BMCC has been ahead of the pack, according to its Executive Director of Public Affairs, Barry Rosen. "We see YouTube as an extension of our content, not just limited to our own web site, but rather as an added expansion of our reach to an audience too numerous to count."
For example, Rosen says,"a video of ours on Professor Susan J. Brillhart of the Nursing department, where she talked about her role at a TV nurse on All My Children, drew more than 3,872 views. That's astounding."
BMCC on two fronts
BMCC's YouTube content now resides in two places on You Tube EDU. Our video on preparing for the CUNY Proficiency Examination (CPE) is posted on The City University site along with videos from eight of 23 CUNY campuses.
Clicking on BMCC's individual site will bring the viewer to nearly 70 videos that cover the entire spectrum of life on campus, whether interviews with administrators, science, social science, English or math faculty, or a full range of videos on students who have achieved great success by overcoming great challenges.

It's common for most of us to go through the motions of life, and cruise along going from task to task. It's hard to see the forest through the trees, and of course when you function this way, you are not able to see the bigger picture. You always have to see the bigger picture in order to achieve your personal goals.
All of us have personal goals, and if you are saying no to this, then maybe you need to think back to a time in your life when you did have goals. Goals are important because it helps you work toward something, and gives you purpose. Direction is needed to help you achieve these goals. To get direction you have to be honest with yourself, and ask yourself some hard and challenging questions. Once you think about the answers to these questions, you may gain some clarity and insight, and begin to develop a plan.
Here are some things you can ask yourself to help you get some direction.
1. Ask yourself, where do you see yourself in 10 years?
This will help you see if some of the things you are doing today are helping you achieve this.
2. Ask yourself what needs to change in your life?
This will help you see what you like and don't like, and what can be better.
3. Ask yourself what needs to stay the same?
This helps you appreciate what is good right now. Not everything should change or is bad. There are plenty of good things that are happening in your life, it may be hard to see at times, but they are definitely there. Try to do more of the good things that are already happening.
4. Ask yourself what you truly value. Is it money, family, or happiness etc.?

Eighteen believers, who desired a house of worship close to home, met at the public school in Delhi on Feb.8, 1891, and formed the Baptist Church of Delhi. The name was later changed to Delhi Baptist Church
Two lots were donated and lumber was provided at cost by a Jerseyville lumber dealer and construction was started on a building in May. Citizens of Delhi hauled the lumber, stone and other construction materials. The building was completed at a cost of $3,000 and dedicated on September 13, 1891. A balance of $900 was owed on the building and a challenge was issued to dedicate the structure debt free. More than $1,000 was contributed which allowed for the purchase of a furnace.
Regular services were held for several years and new members were added. When some moved away and others were lost by death it was hard to maintain regular services. A group of United Brethren asked to take over the property and they were granted the right as long as they kept the building open. If they failed the facilities would revert to the Baptists which is what happened.
Eventually services were resumed but sometimes it was a struggle to keep the church building open.
A long time member, Mrs. Julia Sunderland, recalled an early baptismal: "Back of the church men gathered a lot of old iron pieces of railroad track, while others were bringing logs and more logs, and a fire was started to heat water. Another group was filling Sunderland's water tank to bring water to fill the baptistery. The red hot irons were thrown in, and when the water was warm, they were dragged out.
Finally , everything was in readiness, and the services were performed. Next plan was to use stock water heaters. Eventually, the baptismal tank rusted and would not hold water." Later baptisms were held in other churches and in Piasa and Otterville Creeks.
For many years only Sunday School was held. A group of young people attended a Youth for Christ meeting and were so moved that they asked the adults to start regular church services. They did and the church began to grow.
In 1952 the building was remodeled, the pews were replaced and a fellowship hall was added three years later. All the work was done by volunteers.
The first full time pastor, Carl Holwerda, was called in June 1959. A parsonage was purchased the same year. After investigating the feasibility of improving the original church building it was decided to build a new structure. Ground was broken in 1966 and the building was dedicated in April, 1970. The old church building was razed in 1972.
A new parsonage was completed in 1980 and the old parsonage was sold and moved to a lot on Stage Coach Road. The church continued to grow and the fellowship hall was not adequate for the needs of the church. In July 1998 ground was broken for a new multi -purpose building on the east side of the church building and construction started in September. After the building shell was finished, missionary builders and volunteers finished the structure. The building included church offices, a nursery, conference room, kitchen, dining room, a large multi-purpose room and restrooms. It was finished late in 1999 and the church started using it in January of 2000.


Whether cultivating soil or chopping weeds, disc harrows have to slice through a punishing mix of soil, dust and more. While in operation, disc harrow bearings must withstand exposure to these materials as well as heavy loads and shock loads. During washdowns, bearing seals need to keep water and detergents out, and lubricants in.
Robust seal designs and relubrication-free bearing units from SKF can help make disc harrows more reliable and easier to maintain, benefiting farmers and manufacturers alike. Integrated seals and bearing designs help streamline assembly in the factory as well as installation times in the field.

Hepatitis C - Same Day Starts
Elimination Blueprint >
Testing and Diagnosis
Treatment Access
AHC calls for the Provinces and Territories to:
- continue to develop population-specific strategies and dedicate resources to overcome the barriers that many Canadians still face regarding diagnosis and treatment: waitlists, geographical/ socio-economical/ cultural challenges;
- increase capacity among healthcare practitioners for treatment;
- include re-treatments in reimbursement formularies.
Multiple DAA medications were approved by Health Canada and came to the Canadian market with high curative rates, reduced side effects, and shorter treatment durations.
CADTH (Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technology in Health) recommended the DAAs be listed, but with conditions of a fibrosis score of F2 or higher, to help control costs, and most provinces added the DAAs to their formularies with these recommended restrictions. AHC wrote a position paper calling for universal access, hosted a breakfast in the Ontario Legislature to educate elected officials on policy alternatives, met with MPPs in Ontario and provided tools for members to engage their own provincial elected officials.
AHC and our allies urged CADTH to drop the F2 or greater restrictions, which they did. We then wrote to all provincial health ministries to make sure they were aware of the change. We also helped draft the Greater Access to Hepatitis C Treatment Act by an Ontario MPP, and assisted Yukon's Health Critic in raising the issue during Question Period.
In February 2017, the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance announced that they had negotiated a much better price for DAA hepatitis C medications, and as a result, several provinces announced that they would update their formularies and begin lowering their eligibility restrictions. Ontario and BC also announced that they would be moving to no restrictions based on fibrosis levels by 2018-2019. The AHC will continue to engage decision makers in the provinces and territories that have not yet updated their formularies, to increase access to DAA medications for all Canadians diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C.
In February/March of 2018, Ontario, BC, Quebec, and the NIHB formularies were all updated, joining PEI in lifting all fibrosis restrictions for treatment of hepatitis C. In April we saw Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Yukon lift all fibrosis restrictions as well, with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia following in May, and Newfoundland followed soon after. Now all that is needed is a diagnosis of chronic hepatitis C.
This is a very big step for equal access to treatment! However, barrier still exist as increased eligibility has not resulted in an increased capacity for treatment.

New World – A Short Story by Honorine
11th June 2013 by WP266 2 Comments
I would like to share a special gift with you from a very special person. Honorine is my client and I'm continually awe inspired by her gentle silky smooth way of holding herself. This spills into her writing; so much depth, wisdom and spiritual sensualness. Thank you Honorine for sharing and for allowing us to witness your most beautiful and higher self – "Sawabona"* Honorine
Enjoy all! (…and please don't hesitate to leave your thoughts, I'm sure Honorine would love to hear them)
He showed me a planet, as barren as the bleakest dessert, shrouded in darkness, positioned in the dustiest corner of the Universe. Forgotten, abandoned as dead, nothing appearing to be alive.. Looking out onto the Universe, the earth could be clearly seen, radiant, majestically glowing in rich vegetation, oceans that sparkled like sapphires, throbbing with life. The earth like a resplendent jewel in the crown of the Universe, rotating like a priceless pendant, reminding this planet of all the things it did not have in order to survive.
I asked 'where will you start'
He said 'I will start with that very same question, but I do not ask it from despair, from a feeling of not believing that I have the power to change what I see. I ask from wanting to learn where is the best place to create life from, and then I move to that place.
Gently he lifted the soil and let it pour through his fingertips back into the surface of this world.
He said 'This is the place'.
I asked 'why?'.
'Because the soil lifts easily, it flows through my fingertips. It shows no resistance, it is ready for rebirth. It lives.
I ask why he is so sure that this task is even doable. To me it is a lost cause, sheer madness to even think that life can be created from such desolation.
He said that I truly believed I was alone; that the burden, as I saw it, could not be achieved so therefore it would be so. But he believed that a force greater than him is present. The evidence, he pointed out, showed itself in the creation of earth. The bedazzling reminder of the power of creation. If ever he doubted, and that time would never come, he was but to look upon this orb of life and know that with faith all things are possible. And then he set to work.
A small mound of earth he carried to the warmest part of the planet and set it down. He got down to join it, closed his eyes and fell silent. I wanted to ask what he was doing, but it was obvious. He was connecting to his God, his faith, his creator of Mother Earth. Together they would build this world, the invisible force working through the physical form of man, to bring forth the manifestation of beauty, of life, of love, to a place lying forsaken for too long.
When his prayer was finished, he went back to where he started and continued to do the same thing. The moving of the small handfuls of earth to a place of warmth, the silent blessing, the pouring of a promise to bring life back to each and every part of this new world done patiently and diligently. Such was his faith, that he showed no tiredness, no disbelief, only serenity. Time had no relevance here but eventually the planet was covered in subtle patches of colour; shades of blue, hues of green, dots of white, brown, black, pink, red, splashes of lilac, purple, yellow.
He stood amongst his patchwork quilt landscape, like any skilled embroiderer admiring his labour of love. I asked what he was doing now that he had birthed colour. He said that he would communicate with this new world, and ask it how it wanted to look.
He remained still, listening to the softest breeze that had come to join him. She had heard from her friends the stars that love was creating a new world, and she wanted to be a part of this creation. She had brought her sister sun, and brother moon, for she wanted him to work in continual light to complete the task.
He squatted like a flexible yogi in a lotus position, and began taking small pieces of colour from the planet. Like a skilled sculpture playing with plasticine, he fashioned flowers, and trees, and animals, and birds, and fish, and rivers, and oceans, and people until the planet became a throbbing place of life. As he worked he hummed a tune so silvery that the notes were difficult to hear unless there was complete silence. Only then could the tune be heard, and the words could be felt.
I asked him what the song was. He said it was the song of remembrance imbued in every single life form. Everything was connected to each other by the invisible thread of the tune. It was not evident to the naked eye but there nonetheless in the silence of the heart, and the beating of the life force from which it had come.
I asked him when would he know that his work was done.
He said 'when life sustains itself. I look with love upon my work and like any loving parent I set my children free to create worlds of their own. You look at me and marvel. You think of me as God, someone greater than you. You think you cannot do what I have just shown you is possible. You have forgotten to listen to the tune of remembrance of who you are, and where you have come from. The tune placed in the silence of your heart. Listen my beloved, and you will understand
'Sing he said
But I didn't know the words.
Dance he said
But I didn't know the steps.
Love he said
But I didn't have the heart.
Live he said
But I didn't know how.
Trust he said,
And I will show you how'.

I have known Honorine since she was that "planet, as barren as the bleakest dessert, shrouded in darkness, positioned in the dustiest corner of the Universe. Forgotten, abandoned as dead, nothing appearing to be alive". I know how scary it was for her to share her work, particularly with those who she most values and loves in her life. I hope she realises now she has broken through the fear barrier and there is no going back. Honorine has burst into life, she is vibrating with life and energy once again and the fertile soil of her mind will erupt with life enhancing nutrition to sustain those who will come to see this newly discovered planet seen sparkling in the sky. (Fortunately she lives in Zone 5 so you can put that rocket back where you keep it! )

After more than one year of online-hibernation, I'm more than happy to be back and today would be writing about creating a basic mobile application using jQuery Mobile.
The body contains various div's which form one view/page of the mobile app. The "page" div usually contains "header", "content" and a "footer". These div's can then contain anything that you want to put inside those sections of the page (following some conventions).
As the name suggests, header and footer are the blocks at top and bottom of the page and the "content" div is used to lay out the elements to be shown in the rest of page. Here, we show a logo and list view of 2 elements.
As you might have noticed we have made extensive use of HTML5 custom data-attributes (the data-* attributes on HTML tags) throughout our tutorial. jQuery mobile leverages this uber cool feature of HTML5 to add capabilities to its framework. These custom data-attributes (like data-role, data-transition, data-position etc) are defined in jQuery Mobile framework and support predefined values.
Lets create another pages/html files, which we will then link to our main page (index.html). Creating the second view/page (allFriends.html) in which we will show all the friends in our list.
By writing this small piece of code, we can show the thumbnails in the listview along with some description of each element. To make things simpler, this is simply some static data hardcoded into HTML. A real-world application would read this data from some persistence store and using jQuery would create this markup dynamically with that data.
jQuery Mobile also provides a rich set of form elements as can be read here. We create a simple form using the html below (addFriend.html) to show some basic form elements to create the third page/view of our app in which we provide a simple form to add a new friends in the existing contacts.
Even after writing such a long post, its hard to explain each line of code written above so the best way to learn more is to refer to the Docs. Or I might just write another post to explain some more.
This is just an introduction to jQuery Mobile and might not follow the best practices like normally you would refer to jQuery framework files from some CDN than to include them with your own code. Also, the above code is static in nature, but it can be easily integrated with any database using some script and can form a fully-fledged application.
As always, comments and corrections are welcomed and appreciated.

More on the Foiled Terror Plot; Report on Obesity
Aired May 10, 2012 - 04:00:00 ET
(MUSIC PLAYING)
FAITH (PH): Hi, it`s Faith (ph).
PARKER (PH): Hi, it`s Parker (ph).
Thank you, Ms. Coffman (ph), for such a great year.
FAITH (PH): Thank you so much for pushing us and making us work hard. It`s made all the difference.
CARL AZUZ, HOST, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Good stuff. On our blog, some of you have been discussing what makes your favorite teacher so good. We`re celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with some of those comments in about seven minutes. I`m Carl Azuz. You`re watching CNN Student News.
Yesterday we reported on an alleged terror plot that officials said had been foiled. We said there were still a lot of questions. Now we have some of the answers. The plot was designed to blow up a plane --
AZUZ (voice-over): -- headed to the United States. What we now know is that the person picked to carry out that attack is actually the person who prevented it. Authorities said the plot started in Yemen with the terrorist group known as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Initial reports said the plan was thwarted based on a tip from Saudi Arabia, one of Yemen`s neighbors.
Turns out Saudi Arabia had a mole, a sort of spy inside the Al Qaeda group. He`s a Saudi intelligence agent. He volunteered for a suicide mission. Then he took the explosive device that would have been on the plane and turned it over to U.S. intelligence officers and told them about the plot.
AZUZ: Now there`s some concern about the fact that all this information was leaked. One source said Saudi officials are upset about the possible risks that this could mean for other undercover agents working inside the Al Qaeda group.
Some U.S. officials are worried that the leak could interfere with other operations. The U.S. director of national intelligence is launching a review to see if the leak came from an American intelligence agency.
All right. Turning to U.S. politics now, we know who the presumptive presidential nominees are for both the Republican and Democratic Parties, but primary season continues.
AZUZ (voice-over): Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney won the Republican primaries in North Carolina, Indiana and West Virginia on Tuesday. Not a major surprise. He is the presumptive nominee. But it`s not all about the White House in these primaries. Voters also cast ballots for state and local elections this work. In North Carolina, that included a vote on a constitutional amendment.
AZUZ: We talked about this earlier in the week. The amendment would change the North Carolina constitution to say, quote, "Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in North Carolina."
AZUZ (voice-over): The unofficial results from Tuesday`s primary showed that around 61 percent voted for the amendments. Around 39 percent voted against. One critic called the amendment discrimination. She said, quote, "It gives the majority the chance to vote against the minority."
But a supporter of the amendment responded, quote, "We are not anti- gay. We are pro-marriage."
AZUZ: A recent Gallup survey shows the country overall is more closely divided on the issue. According to that poll, about 50 percent of Americans believe same-sex couples should be allowed to marry. Around 48 percent say same-sex marriages should not be legal.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today`s Shoutout goes out to Ms. Verticchio`s AP human geography classes at Palm Beach Central High School in Wellington, Florida.
What do fructose, glucose and dextrose all have in common. Here we go. Are they all alkali metals, proteins, halide salts or simple sugars? You`ve got three seconds, go.
These are all simple sugars, which are the foundation of carbohydrates. That`s your answer, and that`s your Shoutout.
AZUZ: Carbohydrates are an important source of energy. But if you eat too many carbs, it can lead to health problems like obesity. That issue is the focus of this week`s Weight of the Nation Conference.
AZUZ (voice-over): A new report was released at the meeting. It estimates that by the year 2030, 42 percent of the U.S. population will be obese. That`s 30 million more Americans than right now. The medical costs associated with that increase would total up to nearly $550 billion.
AZUZ: Soledad O`Brien talked with CNN`s Dr. Sanjay Gupta about some of the reasons behind this issue.
SOLEDAD O`BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Sanjay, before we get to the numbers, explain to me why are we getting that fat so quickly?
DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, you know, if there`s any good news in this -- and I`m not sure there`s a lot, Soledad, is that the numbers are actually originally expected to be worse. They said 51 percent at one time they predicted the nation would be obese. This is adults by the year 2030. So 42 percent is still nothing great, obviously. Eleven percent they think will be severely obese.
Look, Soledad, you`ll hear a lot of the same sort of things that you`ve heard for some time. I mean, you`ve been covering this for a long time now, as have I. Too many fast food restaurants. It`s too inexpensive to get unhealthy calories. There`s not enough parks, too many roads, all those things, those keep coming up.
And despite the fact that those messages have been heard and understood, the problem just keeps getting worse. I think, you know, there`s a lot to it at the individual level I think simple things can help, you know, simply eating more food in the morning, they find. Getting up and walking around.
But I think there`s a larger problem, and that is that it`s not just how much we eat but what we`re eating as well. You know, sugar, for example, I`ll just give you a quick example, probably behaves differently in the body than just about any other calorie. It makes you gain weight, but it also creates these lipids that are really bad for the heart, raises insulin levels and makes you store even more fat.
So for a long time, we thought health foods, for example, were low- fat, high-sugar foods. And as we became that country that ate that kind of diet, the problem just became even worse.
AZUZ: All right. Now you heard Dr. Gupta talk about some ways that individuals can work to prevent obesity. At the Weight of the Nation Conference, experts had some other ideas, some other solutions.
AZUZ (voice-over): Some of those include a shirt in farming policies so there`s more focus on fruits and vegetables. There`s also a suggestion for a possible tax on sugary drinks, though there`s some controversy associated with that. Another idea is to start the fight against obesity at school. For instance, requiring schools to provide an hour of physical education or activity every day.
AZUZ: Now picture this scenario: your team is moving through a building. The possibility of danger all around. You need to complete your objective to get everyone out safely. Sounds like a video game. It`s also a situation that firefighters routinely find themselves in. Brooke Baldwin explains how new technology can help them.
BROOKE BALDWIN, CNN ANCHOR (voice-over): Raging flames, rooms full of smoke, working conditions of firefighters.
CAPTAIN STEVEN FLOYD, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA FIRE DEPARTMENT: You can`t see anything. You can only hear things, but it is still very confusing, complete blackout.
BALDWIN (voice-over): It`s hazardous situations like this that they train for, but thanks to some new technology, firefighters will be able to see the world in an entirely new way. This new high-tech mask gives first responders data about their surroundings. It is a vision of the future inventor Joseph Juhnke is trying to finally bring to light.
JOSEPH JUHNKE, TANAGRAM PARTNERS: I didn`t see it. A whole bunch of great authors saw it. Science fiction authors are fabulous in that they have to -- they get to make this up and we get to make it happen.
BALDWIN (voice-over): Giving firefighters information everywhere they look.
JUHNKE: Our job was really to kind of give them back their senses. All they have to do is put it on and display.
BALDWIN (voice-over): Firefighters will be able to see oxygen levels, temperatures and exit paths. It will even allow them to see what`s happening with the rest of their team.
FLOYD: To be able to see and then be able to also not only see where I am at, but to communicate with my team members, that`s a big relief.
AZUZ: Our blog`s been heating up with your salute to your favorite teachers.
AZUZ (voice-over): From Libby, "My teacher has made me stronger and pushed me out of my comfort zone so many times. But I know that every time he was just trying to push me to the limit."
Zyan says, "Mr. Dovico always has a smile and puts love into what he does and makes no excuses."
Leigh writes, "My 21st century literacy teacher has inspired me to think of ordinary things like tests in new, abstract ways."
Waleel honors Mr. Sebela "for always believing in me. He encourages me to do better in school and to graduate high school."
From Kendal, "Ms. McWilliams has had an impact on my life because she fostered my love for history through hands-on experiences."
Tasha`s favorite teacher, Ms. Schraufnagel, encourages her to keep trying and never give up.
Isaiah is home-schooled. His mom is his favorite teacher. She helps him improve his writing skills so he can write well-detailed reports.
And Ethan says that Mr. Schlabach is an extremely big part of his life. "He has taught me that when you hold to your beliefs, anything is possible."
AZUZ: And before we go, some memories may fade over time. That probably won`t be the case --
AZUZ (voice-over): -- for these Wisconsin students. They were taking pictures before the prom. But then the pier collapsed, sending almost everyone into the water. Prom ruined? No. They busted out the blow dryers and went to work. No one was hurt. They eventually all made it to the dance. The real hero might be the guy who kept his feet on the beams and kept his girlfriend out of the water.
AZUZ: That quick thinking probably earned him a place of prominence, and it certainly kept him and his girlfriend dryer than their "piers." We`re out of time for today, but we`ll plunge into more headlines tomorrow, and see you then.

Homeboy Sandman Interview
Raste 16 April, 2013	Gallery, Interviews, Visual Leave a comment
It was a cold February night in east London's Cargo when we met Homeboy Sandman before he jumped on stage for another date of his European tour. The Stones Throw artist was kind enough to take time out of schedule so we could ask him a few questions and today we release that interview to coincide with the release of his new project Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent, which is out today on Stones Throw Records and you can purchase it here.
While on stage he put a phenomenal amount of energy in to his performance and even took out his joke book of original material to keep the crowd entertained when DJ Sosa was hit with technical difficulties. He played every track we wanted to hear and ended the show with the ridiculously catchy and upbeat Watchu Want From Me? produced by Oddisee. If you've heard his music before you'll know it was a dope show, if you haven't check out some of his material and the interview below.
RhymeOnBeat: How did the name Homeboy Sandman come about?
Homeboy Sandman: I love the word homeboy, me and my boys called each other homeboy even when that word wasn't in heavy use we stuck with it. So people called me homeboy a lot, I called them homeboy a lot. It's like your boy from your home, you can depend on them, you can trust them, it's your people, it's love. The sandman is bring you a dream, paint that picture in your head so vivid that you feel like you awake the entire time. Sand is about time, about distance, it's about journey, footprints in the sand. Through the journey you become a man, so it's my journey from a boy to a man… Homeboy Sandman.
ROB: Rappers always get graded and described in terms of how they compare to the greats that came before them and which other rappers they sound like. Your music doesn't really fit into any existing mould so how would you describe it to anyone that's never heard it before?
HS: Well I would say i'm a musician first and foremost. I like to characterise my hip hop music as beats, production and melodies. So beautiful so melodic, so intriguing that even if my rhymes were completely wack it would still be very pleasurable to listen to. Plus rhymes that are so insightful, clever, creative that even if i had no melody it would be ill to listen to.
ROB: In your music and the articles you have written you are very critical of the content on mainstream rap mainly because "commercial rap is a commercial". There are a vast number of artists that actively stay away from negative themes prevalent in those songs so saying that, whose music are you feeling at the moment?
HS: I'm a huge fan of Oddisee, I don't get to listen to very much because I'm always creating but I'm a huge fan of Oddisee. Also YC The Cynic from the Bronx I'm a huge fan of, I'm a huge fan of Blu. I was just discussing Brother Ali, I just did a two month national tour with him, so those are some of the guys. I'm a DOOM fan. I'm a Ka fan, I'm a Mystro fan too.
ROB: On 'Not Really' you say you're Black Thought's biggest fan? Have you actually managed to tell him yet and what did think of it?
HS: Yeah i've got to fan out with the Thought a couple of times, he's thankful. To be honest with you I've only been star struck twice in my life, the first was the first time I met Black Thought and the second was the second time I met Black Thought. I met him times after that but I've never been regular and I always feel nervous around him, I feel stupid, it's kind of interesting. He's a cool brother and he's appreciative, he's crazy cool. The last show we did together was the lyricist lounge 20 year anniversary in New york, after my set he shared some real encouraging sh*t with me that I keep with me. Black Thought the super lyricist your arch nemesis.
ROB: What inspires your music? What makes you get that pen and pad out and start writing a song?
HS: The truth is I have a lot of frustrations, or maybe just observations, I see things that are awry and amiss. It's the same reason that I write articles, I see things and I got a point of view and a perspective that I feel is important, unique and honest and I'm looking for any avenue that I could broadcast that to people. I'm a musician and I make bars and that's my primary force but if cats were like 'give a speech on Hampstead Heath' I would give a speech, I want to spread the word. I have so much to say and I see so much every day. I've been writing this entire tour, I was writing stuff in Germany and Switzerland. I'm seeing different things and it's giving me stuff to write. It's every day, it's everything I think, everything I see, everything I breathe. I never have a lack of inspiration. There's never been a song written about a table and how a table with its four different legs is like four corners of a block and it provides support for the whole structure… you can rap about anything if you're creative with it. There's inspiration everywhere.
ROB: Do you miss teaching or do you think you hold more influence as a rapper?
HS: I definitely have more influence as a musician. I go into schools regularly, I've been into 3 or 4 schools this year. Obviously my schedule only allows me to go in one day at a time but I was a teacher, I was a high school teacher for two years, and I would have an influence and It was cool but kids want to be like rappers. In the city of New York, in America, kids just want to be like rappers and that's just the truth. I get more attention from kids going into a school for one hour as an MC than I got in a year. I still build with my [past] students, they're in my videos. We're all teachers, everyone in the whole world has someone looking at them trying to figure out what they're going to do based on what they other person is doing.
ROB: What is next for you on the horizon musically speaking?
HS: Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent drops in late April/early May [this is released today, see link below] produced entirely by El RTNC (aka Rthentic). It's an 8 track record mixed by Dave Dar and the sh*t is phenomenal. People ask me what's my favourite joint and I love all them joints but Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent is my favourite. I don't like to say 'this is better than this' because I always do my best but I'm always changing. This Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent, cats ain't heard nothing like it, not from me not from other people.
ROB: 'Whatchu Want From Me' is one of the catchiest rap songs we've heard in a long time. Are you hoping to work with Odissee again?
HS: Absolutely. Oddisee you got to kidnap him, he's just so busy. He's the man but he's doing so many different things all the time. I'm waiting on his verse because I got another record I'm working on called Bravery Bunch. I'm waiting on his verse for the Diamond District one. There's definitely going to be more music from me and Oddisee, he stays in Brooklyn so I'm able to dart over there and chill with him.
ROB: How is life as a Stones Throw artist? Is there a lot of pressure to constantly step your game up considering some of the very talented artists on their roster?
HS: They got amazing artists but no there is no pressure. For me I've been taking everything very seriously from the beginning. I put a lot of pressure on myself, people ask me 'is there pressure?' but nah I got here with no bread, I got here with nothing but bars. That's why i'm here, because of bars and hard work. If anything I don't even need to come as correct anymore because now I'm on Stones Throw, I could be like 'make sure that sh*t ain't wack but I'm going to put it out'. I've been having to go hard, the pressure is behind me.
ROB: You have a song called 'Gun Control'. With the well funded pro gun lobby in the United States do you see President Obama having any success in terms of his gun control drive?
HS: I don't really follow politics to keep it real with you. As far as all that 'Gun Control' sh*t, that song is about guns in rap music. I don't like guns, I would never carry a gun because that's me. Everybody's acting like cats be acting wild because of guns, motherf*ckers just act wild. I'm a free person, I have sovereignty over myself. If I was a gun owner and someone was trying to take my gun they can't take it, that's why I understand the argument in America. They're trying to say the cops will have guns and nobody else will have it but cops are already picking of cats like crazy. The only people that are following laws are law abiding citizens. Criminals do not adhere to laws so if you're going to take the guns away from everybody but the criminals they're going to be like 'we're the only ones with guns'. I don't use guns, I'm not scared of guns because I walk with God wherever I go.
ROB: You clearly disapprove vocabulary commonly used by a lot of rappers such as the N word, what are your thoughts on expletives in rap music?
HS: The N word is a sick, stupid and hateful word. The N word means inhuman human. So much stuff in this world is crazy, people ask me where I get inspiration from. The number one word you hear in certain neighbourhoods in New York City is ni**er, shut the f*ck up! I don't curse the way I used to, I got a rhyme that goes 'I can't talk without saying motherf*cker, I can't talk without killing motherf*ckers' but that's my old shit. I used to curse all the time, then I stopped so now when I do it it's a little more flavourful. I'm not trying to be vulgar but if it fits I'll spit out an expletive.
ROB: We've seen Brother Ali a number of times and he puts on a great live show. How was it touring with him?
HS: Touring with Ali was such a blessing and a pleasure and a learning experience. the man is an amazing human being and an amazing performer. His fan base is open minded, talent appreciating and forward thinking. As a supporting act on a national tour, you can't ask for much more.
ROB: Lastly, you got a track with Mystro called 'What I Want'…
HS: Yeah Mystro is the brother, I ain't seen him yet but I hope he's here tonight.
ROB: Have you had a chance to listen to any other UK hip hop artists?
HS: Yeah man, I've rocked with Mystro. He's the man and his last album is ill. Ty I know. Producers wise I was with Paul White yesterday, Invisible Think is on my last album. I rock with a lot of UK based producers. For rhyming I can't say I'm up on a lot of cats but there's definitely talent.
A huge thanks to Homeboy Sandman for taking the time out to speak to us. We're genuine fans and we hope you take the time out to appreciate and buy his music (see links below)

Burress, receivers still looking to make impact
By Ed Bouchette, Post-Gazette Sports Writer
The difference between Bobby Shaw and Plaxico Burress is half a foot, three yards, one touchdown and about $5.5 million.
A pass slips off the hands of Plaxico Burress against the Titans earlier this season. (Matt Freed, Post-Gazette)
Burress, the Steelers' tall and high draft choice, was supposed to pump some life into their flailing air game this season, but nearly one-third of the way through, he and they are still waiting.
After five games, the 6-foot-6 rookie has 12 catches for 170 yards and no touchdowns. Shaw, their 6-foot No. 3 receiver who will take home about $5.5 million less than Burress this year, has 173 yards on 11 catches and the team's only receiving touchdown.
Burress said the breakout game he's been looking for is past due.
"We're going into our sixth game, and I'm just trying to get that big game under my belt," the soft-spoken Burress said yesterday. "You can only make big plays out of opportunities they give you. I'm just waiting for that time."
Coach Bill Cowher will switch quarterbacks, starting Kent Graham against Cincinnati Sunday following two consecutive Steelers wins with Kordell Stewart at the helm. Graham is the more accomplished passer, and his coaches believe he has the better ability to throw deep.
That can help Burress toward his goal, but they also will give something up without Stewart.
"When Kordell's in," Burress said, "it kind of loosens up the secondary a little bit. I don't think teams can double-team as much because they have to respect Kordell's running ability. Whereas with Kent, I think teams kind of sit back in a zone and sit back and read. It's kind of two different philosophies that defenses play against us."
Stewart, though, is more impatient in the pocket than Graham because he knows he can make a play by running out of it if he does not spot an open man, according to the other starting wide receiver.

Steelers Report
"When Kordell's in there," Hines Ward said, "and he doesn't feel comfortable with a certain situation, he's going to tuck the ball and run it. To Kordell, it may not look like we're open right now, but we're about to get open. But Kordell relies on his feet. That's where Kordell has to have trust in us, that no matter what happens, we're going to get there."
Ward said that Stewart's runs help the team in one way, but it hurts the receivers in another. There's no such thing with Graham at quarterback. When he drops back to pass, his full attention is on delivering the ball.
"Kent can't rely on his feet," Ward said. "So he's going to rely on us getting there. He's gong to wait until the last moment, make sure we get down field. He's going to throw it, regardless if you're open or not. By him throwing it, he's saying you better be there when I release this ball."
They often don't get that chance with Stewart at the controls.
"We might run a 15-yard comeback," Ward said, "and Kordell might be running the ball when we're at 10 yards because of what his instincts see. You never know with Kordell. He has that option in his repertoire where he can tuck it down and run. Kordell has to have faith in us to hang in there a little longer before we get open. It hurts us on our catches, but it helps us out because he has that dimension to really hurt a defense."
So, what do the Steelers want in a quarterback -- a pure passer who waits patiently for his receivers to develop a route, or one who will run for daylight if he does not see an open receiver?
Obviously, at least this week, Cowher and offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride want the passer.
And that should give their wide receivers a chance to make more plays against the Bengals than they have the past two weeks. Their wide receivers combined for just 17 receptions and 174 yards in games against the Jaguars and Jets.
Burress, for one, can't wait to have the kind of big game he was known for producing last season at Michigan State. There, he caught 66 passes for 1,142 yards and 12 touchdowns. He caught 20 touchdown passes in two seasons in college. He set a school record with 255 yards on 10 receptions against Michigan, or two fewer catches for 85 more yards than he has with the Steelers.
"I don't think I've gone this long without a touchdown, ever," Burress said. "The stats I have now I'm used to having in one game. We have only one touchdown catch as a whole corps."
Burress was the second receiver drafted this year. The first was Peter Warrick, the fourth player chosen, by Cincinnati. The two are friends, but Burress would like his breakout game to come on the day he lines up on the same field with the only receiver drafted ahead of him.
Warrick leads the winless Bengals with 16 receptions for 225 yards and one touchdown.
"I put a lot of pressure on myself to go out and play well," Burress said. "I just want a couple more balls to come to me. I think I can come down with a couple big plays.
"All it takes for me to have a big game is just to catch one deep ball. One deep ball is a 40- to 50-yard pickup on that one play. I'm pretty sure you'll catch two or three more passes for another 30 or 40 yards. That's all it takes to have a big game in this league is to catch one or two deep balls and you had a great day.
"Last week, we didn't go deep one time."
Graham hopes to accomplish that with Burress on Sunday.
"One thing we have to do is start making big plays between two of us. Either I can throw a better ball or he can catch it for us to start getting some chunk plays to put seven points up pretty quick.
"That's like the next step for us. Plax and I -- and all the receivers -- have to get to a point where we're taking the next step."

You have the power – anywhere, anytime.
Emergency response, law enforcement, military and public works operations all use vehicles with extremely high electric-power needs – requiring enough energy to run auxiliary HVAC, heat, lights, communications, surveillance, weapons, tools and much more, from refrigerators to bucket lifts.
Historically, you had to leave your engine running to power these systems. But idling uses fuel, increases maintenance, and decreases the life of vehicles by putting unnecessary hours on them; every hour of idling an engine is equal to putting 35-50 miles on it.
At Stealth Power, our smart energy solutions provide turnkey power without engaging your engine. Energized by power cells that recharge while you drive, our mobile energy systems offer all the power you need, whenever and wherever you need it.
