Ms. Peggy Martinez, Librarian for Edgewood Community Library, has sent this information.

Library Receives Grants

The Edgewood Community Library was recently a recipient of two grants to assist in adult and children programming:

The New Mexico State Library, in partnership with the New Mexico Humanities Council, awarded grants to fifteen libraries, including Edgewood Community Library, to present a summer adult reading program.   The theme for this summer is “Water Your Mind, READ”. Participants in the July and August reading club will read The Secret Knowledge of Water by Craig Childs, and meet to discuss the book.  The author explores the essence of water in the southwest desert. In addition to the club, several guest speakers, including Mr. Childs, will discuss water-related topics at the Edgewood Community Center. Topics include gardening with drip irrigation, local caves, permaculture (rainwater usage), water resources and issues, water quality, and the NM legend, La Llorona or the Wailing Woman. All programs are free and open to the public.

The National Endowment for the Humanities, in cooperation with the American Library Association, selected Edgewood Community Library as a grant recipient of the We the People  “A More Perfect Union” Bookshelf.  The library was chosen, along with other public and school libraries throughout the United States, to receive a set of hardcover fiction and nonfiction books for kindergarten through high school readers.  The books promote the theme, study, and understanding of American history and culture. The library will be planning activities around the books, to encourage young patrons to read great literature, and to learn the meaning of being or becoming American.

For more information, call the library at 281-0138

Sometimes It Isn’t Easy To Survive In Italy

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

Especially, if you are a baby who has been aborted late term, and then discarded like so much detritus.  According to reports in the Telegraph, the baby was 22 weeks old when the doctors recommended or the mother chose abortion because the child had a cleft lip and palate.  The stories do not relate the severity of the malformation the infant suffered, but as most of us know, modern surgical techniques have repaired serious defects in infants and adults.

A quote from one of the stories says:

The mother, pregnant for the first time, had opted for an abortion after prenatal scans revealed that the foetus had a cleft lip and palate, according to reports in the Italian media. The condition is treatable with surgery.

A priest prayed over the baby after it was discarded by the doctor or doctors. It was at this time the priest discovered the baby was moving and breathing.

The stories report Italian authorities are investigating the abortion as a possible homicide and are delving into circumstances surrounding what is referred to as a “botched” abortion.  The stories also report that the incident has caused “outrage” where many are urging change in abortion laws.

Here is the first story reporting on the abortion:

Baby Left To Die

Here’s the second story filed one day later:

Baby aborted due to repairable cleft lip and palate

The girl shown in the image above is post operative for a cleft palate when an infant and was 66 months old when the image was taken.  She is not related to this incident and there is no way to say whether the aborted baby could have had similar success.  The image and the link below illustrate that great advances have been made in caring for infants and adults who have cleft lips and palates.

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

The tactics described in the story linked below have been used in the Albuquerque area.  The methods have been used by a carpenter union against at least one local contractor and five or more businesses the contractor has worked for in the Albuquerque area.  Lone Sun Builders has been fighting what might be described as baseless accusations by ersatz variety union members.  Lone Sun has a blog which has been used to counter the union’s accusations in their “Shame On” campaign.  The blog can be accessed here.  Readers of the blog will find excerpts of videos and other sources (here’s one featured) which should allow an unbiased individual to determine where the truth can be had, or at least, where another side is offered.

As to the story linked below, it seems the same methods used in New Mexico are being used in California (and perhaps other states.)  The article is the first in a series and those accessing the link will find a video which sets the stage for future articles of a series.

Isn’t This Just Wrong … We Have An Upside Down Economy, After All

Posted on by
Unofficial seal of the United States Congress

By Chuck Ring (GadaboutBlogalot ©2009 – 2010)

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

BostonHearld.com in an article posted several days pas, chewed up and spit out some of our Democratic members of Congress for planning an expensive taxpayer financed memorial, or something of the sort, to the Late Senator Edward (T for Teddy) Kennedy.

Here’s what Renee Dudley reported in her article:

The amount of taxpayer money being funneled to a Dorchester shrine to the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has ballooned to $38 million and could rise to at least $68 million this year, infuriating watchdog groups who insist the project should be privately funded.

And, why wouldn’t it infuriate everyone, much less watchdog groups.  When our Congress isn’t trying to out progress the Progressives, they are trying to out “imperial” the dictators and so-called kings and queens of the world with their asinine spending,  The spending, not the monument is a monument to ignorance — no, let us back up and say stupidity.

There’s more of course, because there’s alway more.  David E. Williams of Citizens Against Government Waste, A Washington Nonprofit Group, said:

“They should be looking for private funding,” he said. “They’re using federal taxpayers as the funder of first resort. We need to be the funder of last resort.”

Williams and other critics called it “ridiculous” and an “egregious waste” that supporters want to siphon $28.9 million of the funding from the Defense Department budget alone. Nearly $19 million of that is already signed into law.

“It’s hard to fathom the defense-related portion of this project,” said Steve Ellis, a vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a fiscal watchdog group.

The president of the institute or whomever is pushing this idiotic place to be, defends the spending and the appropriateness of the mess.  I need to go off and be sick, so read the hubristic gall of them all … right here.

Still Waiting … But More FAIL Time On The “N” Word

Founding members of the {{w|Congressional Blac...

By Chuck Ring (GadaboutBlogalot ©2009 – 2010)

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

Father Andrew, Andrew Breitbart that is, the father of Big Journalism, Big Government and another “Big” or two, isn’t giving up and he reports that no one has come forth to claim the $100,000 reward he has offered for proof the Tea Party folks yelled the “N” word at members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) on March 20th.  Reader’s will remember that the original allegation was made by members of the CBC, but never supported by evidence.  While one of my friends has asserted that it is no big deal that an accusation was made and not supported, I say that is possible in the eyes of many, but certainly an opportunity to collect $100 K  for a black college fund i$ a big deal.  We have previously written about these accusations in Finger Shakers and Muckrakers.

I’ll leave Mr. Breitbart’s story to Mr. Breitbart, but I do provide the link to his latest story and video for those that wish to read the article and see the video in tandem.The video is complementary to the article, but it is posted below if you wish only to see the video.  Although, I will say that you’ll be hard-pressed to fully understand the gist of the Breitbart article, if you access the video without reading the article.

The video appears here for those with scarce time and as said before, it also appears in Mr. Breitbart’s article.

Comment or not?

ADDENDUM:  I have been remiss in not identifying my friend, so here’s a point to his article and our “back and forth.”
