Glen Hansard the recent Oscar winner shared with his duet partner Markéta Irglová for Best Original Song in a Feature Film for “Falling Slowly” from the flick, “Once” shot as he said on two handycams. / Busking since the age of 13 Hansard and The Frames had been Irelands best known undiscovered band, even though they had and have a worldwide fan base. Due to my Austrian friend Michaela’s love of The Frames and all things musical in Dublin I managed to take this photo, it was a short time (considering the intervening years) after he played Outspan in Alan Parkers “The Commitments” alongside Colm Meaney, Rob Strong, Bronagh Gallagher, Andrea Corr amongst a host of others including Lance Daly as the kid with the Harmonica see huge list: Jimmy Rabbitte Robert Arkins / Steven Clifford Michael Aherne / Imelda Quirke Angeline Ball / Natalie Murphy Maria Doyle Kennedy / Mickah Wallace Dave Finnegan / Bernie McGloughlin Bronagh Gallagher / Dean Fay Felim Gormley / Outspan Foster Glen Hansard / Billy Mooney Dick Massey / Joey “The Lips” Fagan Johnny Murphy / Derek Scully Kenneth McCluskey / Deco Cuffe Andrew Strong / Mr Rabbitte Colm Meaney / Mrs Rabbitte Anne Kent / Sharon Rabbitte Andrea Corr / Darren Rabbitte Gerard Cassoni / Linda Rabbitte Ruth Fairclough / Tracey Rabbitte Lindsay Fairclough / Greg Michael O’Reilly / Duffy Liam Carney / Pawnbroker Ger Ryan / Father Molloy Mark O’Regan / Roddy the Reporter Phelim Drew / Dave From Eejit Records Sean Hughes / Ray Philip Bredin / Imelda’s Sister Aoife Lawless / Kid With Harmonica Lance Daly http://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/2836519 / sold on rb as matted print to rb member – later delivered by hand to subject oscar winner glen hansard in chicago

Dear Nacham, / How did I end up with your G-d when you left me? He was yours; you shared Him with me. You introduced us and you helped me carry Him home. When I complained about how difficult it was to learn everything about Him, you told me that He’d smile on us for trying. You even taught me how to cook the right food…and patiently explained why there was very little pesadik Easter candy available at the local supermarket. You shared your parents’ stories and your own, and you were the one who asked me over and over and over again if I knew what I was doing…was I sure?? But one day you woke up and decided to leave. Well, I guess that’s how it went. You never told me anything. You just left. And there I was with G-d. I’d officially adopted Him. I couldn’t give him back, could I? Even though we were still strangers to each other in so many ways…even though my family and friends had never been properly introduced to Him…even though I could no longer support him in the way He was used to, when you and I were together. I admit I neglected Him a little for a while. OK….for a couple of years. I did what I had to do for Him and He never needed anything, but I didn’t spend time with Him and didn’t give Him the love and attention and praise that we did when we were still a couple. Some nights I wished He’d run away or wander to a neighbor’s house and see if they’d like to give Him a home. Time has passed and I’m still not certain why you left Him behind. I know you loved Him! I know you needed to be with Him. But here He is, watching me with those big soulful eyes, waiting for me to give him a smile. I didn’t bring Him home because of you, you know? I did that in spite of you. You told me not to. You warned me I’d never be the same. You cautioned me time and again that I’d surely regret my decision. “You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into!!” is what you told me. You were right. I had no idea. And I wish you were still here with us, because I miss you every second of the day. But whatever your reason was, dear Nacham, I’m glad you left Him here with me. / I think we belong together…. Love always, / Rachel Nachama, bat Avraham Avinu Exploring some old wounds, moving forward. Created from several photoimages, edited and painted in Photoshop Elements 3. /

Into his eyes she says ‘I Do’ / Her thoughts of future wedded bliss / He says to her eyes ‘I Do Too’ / Then seals their promise with a kiss / / This magic kiss that freezes time / And isolates both bride and groom / From cheers the crowd does loudly chime / And other ruckus in the room / / This moment starts their lives anew / The world around does not exist / As lifelong vows exchanged by two / A promise sealed with a kiss / / This digital painting was done by special request of our daughter from a photo taken at her wedding. She wanted me to isolate that ‘kiss of promise’ to her new husband from the surrounding crowd and scenery. The painting is meant to portray that feeling, where nothing else exists during that moment in time except for her and her new husband. / / To give a better appreciation for the artwork, I have included a thumbnail of the original photograph that inspired the artwork. No… there is nothing wrong with your eyes… the preacher does not have a face. I don’t have a model release from the preacher for this photo, so I had to photoshop his face off to be able to show you the original photo. :) / / / / Hope you like it, Stephie and Jake :) / /

Ballymun housing estate on Dublins Northside in 1995. A community that was plagued with drugs and drug dealers and of course poverty and apathy. There was more than a few suicides by leaping from the balconies and stairwells of the flats. A governments dream for low cost housing in the 1960´s when they cleared the inner cities. Ireland was not ready for this type of housing as it was not a bungalow on an acre of land front and back and it was therefore systematically neglected. In many ways “The Flats” were ahead of their times and those living there suffered because of it. That said Ballymun had & has a great sense of community and pride sadly lacking in many “better-off” housing estates. Now scheduled for demoliton, three of these towers, all named after leaders of Irelands 1916 armed rising against British rule, still stand. Here there be neighbours.

Caring for rabbits, As with any pet, keeping a rabbit requires a commitment to care for it during its life which could be 5-10 years or longer. The commitment required includes not only routine feeding, care and time spent with the rabbit but also the provision of veterinary treatment if the rabbit becomes ill which can be costly. Although proper care will go a long way to ensuring that any rabbit remains happy and healthy there may still be times when prompt veterinary treatment is needed and once a rabbit is ill it can deteriorate quickly. However, some insurance companies do offer veterinary insurance cover for pet rabbits. Rabbits should also be vaccinated against Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD) and Myxomatosis annually. A common cause of death in female rabbits (does) is uterine cancer which can often spread to other organs before it is diagnosed. This can be prevented by spaying if the rabbit is not intended for breeding and is best done when the rabbit is between 6 months and 2 years of age. Rabbits can be kept outside or indoors as they make good house pets, being easily litter trained. The decision as to where the rabbit is to be kept will affect the type of Cage or Hutch required for the rabbit.

In all honesty I am not really sure wether flies commit suicide or not… I mean, we’ve all seen that errant fly slam into a wall, often multiple times in a row, and this could be an attempt at ending its life. After all, with an eye for every direction on the compass, it is highly doubtful a fly ever simply just doesn’t see a wall right ahead of it… When I was 14 and at Summer Camp (which is better known as Hell for many of us homosexuals… real camp at least… the idea is sexy, the reality is far from it…) every morning at breakfast I had a pet fly that came and sat on the lip of my milk-box. Though my bunk-leader told me that not only was it unsanitary, but likely a different fly each day, I knew it was the same one and that he was very clean. I never gave him a name, but I still think fondly of him from time to time whenever someone tells me I’m doing something unsanitary. Incidental note: People who religiously guard themselves from any sort of dirt or bacteria are chronically ill… this is because when something does get through, their body has never seen it before and has no defense to stop it. I never get sick, and this is because I am notoriously nonchalant as far as incidental cleanliness goes (i.e. I shower daily, but I’ll eat meat that has been sitting out for a few days and only wash my hands under certain circumstances after using the bathroom. All you guys know good and well that if you flip it out, shake, and flip it back in, the hands never touch the… you know… and I always use the sole of my shoe to flush in public bathrooms… ok, that’s plenty of written content for this work… on to the next.)
