An open letter to Virginia McCaskey
2009-11-15 21:29:00 (AP photo)Dear Virginia; Son of a gun, its been a long time since we've seen each other. In fact we haven't spoken since we briefly chatted at Sid Luckman's memorial service back in 1998. I know you're not particularly fond of me. I know you think I have it in for your football team. But you also know this. When your father - my blood and guts hero - George Stanley Halas died back on Halloween night, 1983 nobody eulogized him with more passion than i did....
An Open Letter to Adewale Ogunleye: Take It Easy on Browns
2009-10-26 13:48:00 Dear Adewale, I'm writing to you to ask if maybe, perhaps, possibly you could take it easy on the Cleveland Browns in your upcoming game this Sunday. I know that for an athlete with a hyperactive competitive drive, this is pretty much asking the impossible. I know this because I, too, am an athlete. I played high school basketball for Mount Vernon High School in Mount Vernon, Ohio, where one season I nearly averaged a triple-single. I ask that you kindly take it easy on my Browns because we are not very good this year. Our only win has come via a 6-3 snoozer against the Buffalo Bills that I'm pretty sure put fans of both teams to sleep,...
An Open Letter to Steve Ballmer: Didn't Your Mother Teach You To Say "Thank
2009-10-07 17:58:00 Seriously, Mr. Ballmer, your lack of gratitude to your best friend in the Linux community is appalling. I am talking about Ken "Helios" (named after the Greek god of the sun) Starks, who has recently helped defeat your main competitor a little further this year. I know that Linux sometimes worries you, though you may laugh it off in public. This year, Mr. Starks pulled off a real coup. He collected money as donations from the Linux community, then paid big bucks to a radio station to run a scratchy, echoey, low-fi "radio commercial" for Linux. But hold on! Not just any radio program, but the commercial slot during Kim Komando's show - a long-time Microsoft advocate. So the ad dollars literally went into your pocket - straight from desktop Linux users all over the world! Isn't that sweet for you, Mr. Ballmer? But that's just the beginning. By collecting money, time, and resources out of the limited reserves of the Linux user base, Starks has ensured that funds which could have ...
An Open Letter to Manuel Contreras-Galdean
2009-09-24 00:42:00 Mr. Contreras-Galdean: On November 15, 2008, you killed Kelly Tracy. Kelly was 16 years old when you decided to get behind the wheel of a car with a blood alcohol level of 0.192 ? more than twice the legal limit ? at six-thirty in the morning. This was, according to some reports, the third time you?ve been ...
Free: Bob Prechter?s 10-Page Market Letter
2009-09-23 15:41:00 Dear reader, Why are the truly big economic catastrophes so “big”? Put simply, it’s that such a small number of people prepare themselves beforehand. Think about 2008 and you’ll realize it’s true. What’s more, once you read Bob Prechter’s recent 10-page Elliott Wave Theorist, you’ll see that even fewer ...
An Open Letter to the Communications Pros with the Caps
2009-09-22 12:45:00 To: Nate Ewell Paul Rovak Kelly Murray - Mike Vogel Brett Leonhardt CC: Kurt KehlMonday brought me back to the real world of laboring for the Man, instead of reporting to Kettler again for more of my favorite vacation: Capitals' training camp. Like the late Jack Falla, I don't believe there's such a thing as a bad day at the rink, and last week, being welcomed and so helpfully assisted by you as I was, well reminded me of why this was so. This was easily the largest Capitals' training camp in its number of skaters that I'd ever covered, and you have 70 quality human being hockey players who wore your crest last week. I talked to almost every one of them. In the middle of my vacation at the rink I thought about those middle-aged men who fork over vast sums of money to participate in pro sports fantasy camps, for limited access to their ballfield heroes. Last week at ...

An Open Letter to the Fruit Company That Ruined Breakfast
2009-09-21 00:22:00 Usually when people are unemployed for months at a time, they start to dream up get-rich-quick schemes. Hence, the alarming success of Nigerian presidents ready to wire money to your checking account TODAY. The thing is - I'm the only person alive who seems to come up with get-rich-slowly schemes. It started in high school when I decided I would devote my life to becoming the jerk who waves in the backgrounds of other people's home movies. My thought was that with enough time and effort, I would become rich and famous as, the world over, friends shared their home videos and noticed me waving from Peru, Disney World and their daughter's play."Gee, Sally, that's funny. I think that same girl waving behind...
A Letter of Counsel from Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
2009-09-20 23:34:00 Lorenzo Di Credi 1459-1537 An Angel Brings the Holy Communion to Mary Magdalen about 1510 Tempera on wood, 51 x 38 cm Christian Museum, Esztergom In a letter to her cousin Marie Guerin, Thérèse then aged only 15 years advised her about the necessity of frequent Communion. Her cousin had confided in Thérèse that because of scruples and her conviction that she had greatly sinned, she would refrain from Holy Communion. Pope Pius X after reading this letter declared it ?most opportune? It will be recalled that he was the Pope who made it possible for more frequent Holy Communion and for Communion for children. Someone once described Saint Thérèse of Lisieux as ?a religious prodigy?. The letter would appear to give support to that view. How many spiritual advisors are able to deal with scruples in such a confident and self assured manner ? The letter is dated 1888: ?Before you confided in me, I felt you were suffering, and my heart was one with yours. Since you have the humili...

Last letter for today
2009-09-15 20:54:00 Dear friend I promise, next time I will keep all at the end of the day, I will keep open envelop and pen on the paper. Anytime something pop-ups to my mind I will just add it to the same letter. And at the end I place it to the envelop and bring it to the post. Now when I am using audio note-taker, shouldn't be a problem to remember all what goes in my mind over the whole day. As I have promised to you early today morning, I have updated Serene Mind series. It now includes some new images, some are removed and order is different. It is now reflecting my last feel about this series. When I have started richard-vanek.eu and I moved away from piskoftak.com I have decided to present my work purely in series or project. I believe that series of images is more powerful and can express the idea better than single image. It does feel to me like a album and sons. Look at my favorite Pink Floyd. How much better is to listen to the whole album The Wall than to the single song Another Brick...

An Open Letter to the Big Five Networks, Re: Summer TV
2009-06-24 09:46:00 Dear ABC CBS, FOX, NBC and the CW, Yesterday, the NY Times Media Decoder Blog revealed that “the four major broadcast network are performing abysmally across the board in viewers between the ages of 18 and 49, posting the lowest combined ratings in that category ever for the four networks.” Translation: Audience levels for network summer fare are sinking faster than this TV Addict’s confidence in HEROES since Bryan Fuller’s surprise announcement on Monday. Which naturally begs the slightly awkward albeit painfully obvious question: If television is habitual (see: the success of CBS’ entire roster of aging procedurals) why are you spending all summer long doing your best to inexplicably break said habit courtesy of a painfully uninteresting mix of reruns (see: last night’s sked which included repeats of THE MENTALIST, HOUSE, NCIS and 48 HOURS) and reality TV (see: I’M A CELEBRITY… GET ME OUT OF HERE, THE SUPERSTARS and AMERICA’S GOT ...

(And not just because we think it’s really really cool that the who’s who of Hollywood reads theTVaddict.com!) Wait until you all see the new shows. Life UneXpected and Vampire Diaries are classic WB and perfect for CW. Life will remind many of Felicity, Gilmore and Juno. Melrose Place is just plain Fun. Full disclosure–I work for The CW. I also worked at The WB, including Everwood, GG, Smallville et. al, and our new shows have great potential. It isn’t easy building a network–especially in the digital age–but we are well on our way.

An Open Letter to Dawn Ostroff, President of Entertainment The CW
2009-06-17 18:03:00 Dawn Ostroff, New York City, May 2009 In looking at current hits like GOSSIP GIRL and 90210, not to mention upcoming trashfests MELROSE PLACE and THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE, this TV Addict can’t seem to shake the feeling that you’ve completely lost touch with your network’s roots. That thought became all the more apparent after spending this past weekend enjoying the emotional roller-coaster that was EVERWOOD’s second season. Seriously, what’s happened to the once proud CW… once home to GILMORE GIRLS, FELICITY and even 7TH HEAVEN, each of which, in their own ways, defined outstanding television. These shows entertained, enlightened and surprised us with their ability to illicit laughter, summon up tears and even, on occasion, teach us a thing or two about ourselves and the world in which we live. Say what you will about the off-charts-preachiness of Reverend Camden and his 7TH HEAVEN flock, but creator Brenda Hampton raised more social issues than anyone since th...

Steve From The Cubs Wants a Letter (Take a Book For Charity, 5)
2009-04-25 01:53:00 Steve from the Cubs called me back -- remember, I'd emailed them and then they said to call Community Affairs, so I did, and left a message for Steve.When I got Steve on the phone, he was very polite. I explained to him, again, why I was calling and what it was all about."Well, you know, the players are hard, sometimes to get to sign stuff," Steve told me, preparing me for disappointment.I plugged on: "It doesn't have to be all the players," I said. "Whoever will sign."(Besides, I didn't add but wanted to, Besides, don't you, um, boss them around and can't you just say hey, sign this? But I didn't say that.)"We already do a lot for charity," Steve said. "And we only have so much merchandise we can give away or autograph."So I explained again: "I'm going to send you the books," I said. "You don't have to supply anything.""Yes, that's right," Steve said... agreeing that I in fact knew my own plan."So, what do you think?" I asked."Tell you what. Send us a letter," Stev...
Let's invent a new letter! (The Found Alphabet, D)
2009-04-21 15:49:00 Saturday morning, to give Sweetie a break from the Babies and some peace and quiet, I took them with me to pay my remaining $5.00 fine at the library (thus ensuring my victory and ending the feud), then to the park. For most of the morning, Mr F amused himself by going down the "tornado slide" over and over (about 20, by my count) and by trying to avoid the little girl who thought he was cute -- she was 3, and had come over and tried to hug him, causing him to grimace and go hide behind the swings.)Mr Bunches, meanwhile, focused his attention on trying to climb up the ultra-slippery tunnel slide, forcing me to lie on my back in it and serve as a foot-hold -- putting my hands down and having him brace himself on those while he climbed and climbed, hair rising in the static-electricity-filled atmosphere.When he tired of that, he began playing a game where he'd go across a metal bridge and then jump into my arms.The jungle gym that served as the base camp for all the slide and jumpin...

Because the truth is, we’d be lying if we said we weren’t worried. Not only have these final string of episodes been a massive letdown in the edge-of-your-seat-excitement department, what you yourself had to say about the importance of ‘plot’ in a recent interview with BSG uber-critic Maureen Ryan does little to assuage our fears.

A Letter to 15 Seeds
2009-03-16 15:40:00 Dear Robert Morris University, Binghamton University, Morgan State University and California State University Northridge:First of all, congratulations on earning your spot in the NCAA Tournament. Each of you have had great seasons and deserve your spot in the field of 65. You may be wondering, well thanks random guy for the note, but who are you? Well, my name is Sean, and I am a college basketball fan as well as an amazing* blogger. Twice in my life, I have had the opportunity to attend the men?s NCAA tournament, first in 1997 and again in 2008. In 1997, I watched the #15 seed Coppin State University defeat the second-seeded University of South Carolina at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. Last year, I was present for the amazing game between #2 Duke University and #15 Belmont University at the Verizon Center in Washington. As a #15 seed, you may remember (or you're learning now about) the Duke-Belmont game and how Belmont could have, and arguably should have, pulled off an am...
