"Come Together: A Night for John Lennon's Words and Music"

By Rev. Nancy Freeman - Aug 30th, 2009 at 11:57 am EDT

Also listed in: Portsmouth NH for Obama

This movie found it's way to me and I haven't even watched but the first 15 minutes of it and it hit me that this would be something that all American's might want to see right now. It's a tribute to the people of New York City and how they "Came Together" after the 9/11 events, using John Lennon's words and music. I can tell it is very uplifting and emotional. It was broadcast live on October 2, 2002. I don't know where I was then but I was asleep and too wrapped up in my own little life garbage problems to know it was happening. I'm wide awake now and I believe, as a nation, we could use a LOT of uplifting RIGHT NOW. It would be a huge reminder of what the people of our great nation did as they came together after 9/11 and we can do it again. Today, it seems that our nation is falling apart and we all need this reminder. I highly recommend to every American that they watch this video as soon as possible. Give it a shot, you might be happily surprised.

Peace, Love and Light,

Nancy Freeman

Remembering Tim

By Khaidji - Jun 13th, 2009 at 8:30 pm EDT

Tim Russert was one of the best TV broadcasters is not the best. He showed his total devotion to the task at hand by always ensuring that all the research was ready and in queue for those surprise questions that he snared his unsuspecting guest with, just as they started patting themselves on the back. It has been a year now since his passing and I wish to pay this Tribute to Tim Russert as I remember the irreplaceable lost to TV, his family and friends, the world and me.

Remembering Tim

Remorsefulness I could feel no more

Everything is different than before

My thoughts now are the wonderful memories

Episodes when he interviewed celebrities

Meet the Press was a great addition to my Sundays

Dialogs well research and presented in fresh ways

Ever political leader invited for a chat

Respectfully grilled to discern fiction from fact

I think I learnt more from these interviews

No twisted focus and distortions as in the news

Got the fact straight once and for all listening

Tim’s Christian nature brought an unusual christening

I felt renewed interpretation when I listened to him

Meet the Press continues and in a way so does Tim

In Loving Memory of Tim Russert

Died June 13, 2008

Inside the Obama White House with Brian Williams to air on NBC Special

By Peter from Carrollton, TX - May 31st, 2009 at 7:19 pm EDT

NBC News has special access to the White House and has strategically placed dozens of camera crews all over the White House. This is all an attempt to get a closer look of the daily occurences of the Obama administration. I don’t ever recall any other White House administration that allowed this. Only Brian Williams and his crew gets to go in and see what all the fuss is about. There have been some controversy over the White House Reality Show. If you really think about it, who wants a camera in their face from 5 am in the morning until you are done for the day. I think its a publicity stunt to show that Obama is getting stuff done. His promises on transparency in government has been taken a little too far. We don’t want to see your acting skills in front of the camera. We want to know what you are doing and have a say in what decisions are to be made on the topic. That was one of the premises you ran your campaign on. No more 1500 page documents sent out and approved 3 hours before voting. Stuff like that. I don’t want to see a reality show about the White House morning briefs, and what they eat for breakfast. This is either a tribute to the first Black President of the United States, or the most boring news special ever made. It’s going to be the White House version of The Office. From what I know about the special, there are several aides on camera typing at their desks, answering phone calls and doing general office work. Then there are interviews with certain people that are going to make everything sound nice and cheery, but there won’t be any dry office humor. I say watch at your own risk. The darn thing is a waste of time, but if you don’t have anything to do, it airs June 2, and the 3rd.

A Tribute

By cheli - Aug 19th, 2008 at 10:32 am EDT

The excitement in my community of the possibility of electing a POTUS that speaks to all people has been overwelming. I've met people who share my ideals and those who don't, but who realize that we all must work together to secure a future for our children and grandchildren. I've seen signage, t-shirts, buttons, all kinds of things that people have created/designed for our candidate. This morning, I received a YouTube video from one of my church members. Her mother-in-law has her own tribute to Sen. Obama. I've attached the link here for you to enjoy.

"New York Still Life" by Matthew Bates

New York Still Life, ©2001, Matthew Bates, All Rights Reserved

New York Still Life

Oil on Canvas - 45cm x 60cm - Private Collection

This painting was made in October 2001, right after. Now that some time has gone by I look at this painting, and it reminds me of those days. Since then New York has become a much bigger part of my life, I have visited every year since, and am glad to see that the city keeps going. New York represents, like no other place, the American dream. What is amazing is that when you are there the melting pot is boiling over, the whole world is all over that city and in every form imaginable. Let's take New York's example and learn how to live all together in a bigger sense.

Exhibition History of New York Still Life:

Oct. 2001 - American Consulate, Firenze, Italia

Nov. 2002 - Agora Gallery, Soho, New York City

Jul. 2004 - Figaro Gallery, Annandale, Virginia
