Fixing the Many Problems at Allied Arts – All Talk and No Action
Original post made by It's NOT Inevitable on Jun 10, 2007
There are so many stakeholders in the Allied Arts community: the Woodside-Atherton Auxiliary members (now Allied Arts Auxiliary) who must be sick of seeing their name associated with the failure of their organization's plans for the future; the individuals who contributed millions of dollars to the restoration of the complex who now see their investment being squandered on the site, with no benefit to the Children's Hospital; the Children's Hospital which has lost the hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue from the Palo Alto Auxiliary-run restaurant, is about to lose more money from the Allied Arts Auxiliary's contributions, and must also be sick of seeing one of its auxiliary's name associated with failure; the Allied Arts neighbors who now have no idea what to expect from the owners of Allied Arts in terms of the site's future; and the Menlo Park community, which is about to lose one of its most treasured historic icons.
Why isn't anyone doing something! Why doesn't the Allied Arts Auxiliary dump its current president and leadership, get new officers, and try to save their site while there's still time? Why don't the major contributors to the restoration demand answers from the auxiliary regarding the mismanagement of the site, which has devalued their investment in benefiting the Hospital? Why doesn't the Children's Hospital make some effort to influence the auxiliary towards better management of their resources? Why isn't the media seeking answers to the many questions surrounding Allied Arts and keeping the community informed of the problems and what's being done to correct them? Why don't the neighbors seek city government involvement in addressing the problems affecting their neighborhood? Why isn't the community incensed at the possible lost of a valued historic site?
Why has no one from the Allied Arts Auxiliary given the community a credible explanation as to what's going on? If there are problems, maybe the community can help.
Why isn't anyone doing something!

Maybe our current Mayor would/could help, I heard that she is good at reviving dead businesses. I remember reading her press release which claimed that she had saved the Kepler's (the new investors and the landlord were conveniently left out of getting credit in the press release.) Also I remember seeing her rubbing shoulders with Auxiliary high society ladies while she was a planning commissioner and the Guild had their project before Planning. But now she has moved on to bigger and better things and politician always thinking who can help get him/her re-elected, the neighbors or Auxiliary members. Good Luck.

Turning Allied Arts into a microscopic convention center clearly is not the way to go. Maybe the old model wasn't raking in buckets of cash, but in hindsight, it doesn't seem too bad, does it?
Bring back the volunteer restaurant, reach out to the community and surrounding areas to introduce Allied Arts to new residents, and once that takes hold, use the added foot traffic to lure interesting artisans and shops back to the guild.
Sponsor special lunch deals for community/seniors groups and bring them in by shuttle bus. And bring back the Christmas afternoon tea. Those were really lovely.

I am so sorry but I don't think the original poster could be more misinformed. The Palo Alto Restaurant left because the Palo Alto Auxiliary was struggling to get enough volunteers to staff the restaurant and keep it open. Finding enough dedicated volunteers to consistently maintain a 6 day a week business is extremely difficult. If the Restaurant had been making money it would not have closed.
Last year the WAA (the volunteer organization which runs the Allied Arts Guild) made more than $120,000 for the Children's Hospital at their annual Tally Ho. That was just one event. Help out - attend the Tally Ho and bid on Auction items.
Better yet go stroll around the beautiful gardens and shop at the wonderful stores such as La Bottega, The Artisan Shop, Flair, Portola Art Gallery, Special Handling Pottery, Renaissance Spirit & Susan's Soaps. And come to the Christmas tea, like we did last year - it still happens - it was so popular it sold out.
The money that has been squandered has been wasted in fighting lawsuits from a small but active group that does not want the Allied Arts to succeed as a fundraiser for the Children's Hospital. The permit is so restrictive that it is quite challenging to get things going.
Jesse Cool who has been so supportive and was so close to opening her restaurant (which would have been a huge success)could not because she could not cater from there - due to the very limiting permit, and therefore could not make a it viable business. Other options are being considered, with everyone's needs in mind.
The Woodside Atherton Auxiliary is intensely committed to helping the children at Lucile Packard's Children's Hospital and to preserving a cherished and unique historical landmark for all of us. It is not just high society ladies there - there are all sorts. Their one common thread is wanting to make a positive difference on a local level. If you want to make a difference why not volunteer?

The Egyptian Jewish remnant against Israel
Moses Maimonides Temple 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
At this upscale Cairo café, Sam and Amira, brother and sister, are the last two
who would be seen as Jewish. They walk, talk, and discuss their country with as
much confidence as any young Egyptian professional.They say they don't
get many questions about their ethnicity: their parents gave them names that are
common in Egypt, not identifiable as Jewish."Egypt is a strange
country," Amira says, "because while we have seen so much anger toward Israel,
and rightfully so, at the same time even those people who find out we are Jewish
have little problem hanging out and dealing with us."Amira works in
Egypt's Smart Village, an international IT complex just west of Cairo. She is a
call center specialist, part of a team that works for a US corporation and
serves North American users."Work is great," she says. "I speak English
and Spanish, so my language skills are useful. Nobody in the office even
questions my religion, because they don't know. I mean, who would, with
Amira as my name? It's a great name to have, really, especially if you are
Jewish here."Most of Sam and Amira's ancestors in Egypt – at least the
recent ones – fled the country following the founding of Israel, then the
crackdown on Jewish businesses and the Jewish community in general with the
ascension of President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1956.But Sam and Amira's
family has never taken Egyptian citizenship.Though Sam and Amira seem
Egyptian in every sense of the word – they have lived their entire lives in
Cairo, speak Arabic, and joke like Egyptians – they hold European
passports."This is probably a large part of the reason why our family
was able to stay in the country and not face the crackdown that came in the
Nasser era," says Sam. When the pogroms against the Jewish community began in
earnest in the early 1950s, the government went after those business-owning
families who were officially documented as Jews; Sam's was not.ACCORDING
TO rough estimates, the Jewish community in Egypt numbered around 80,000 in
1922.Today, after the attacks and the exile forced by the Egyptian
government, fewer than 100 documented Jews remain in Egypt. But Amira and Sam,
because they are not documented, don't count in this estimate. "We have a few
friends who are in positions similar to ours," Sam explains, "living and working
in Egypt as residents but technically not Egyptian."Egyptian Jews are
now scattered across the globe, but their historical connection with the country
is old and strong. Jews have lived in Egypt continuously since post-Exodus Jews
were documented there in the 7th century BCE.As late as the 1920s and
1930s, there were Jews who were integrated into the political and intellectual
life of the country: Jewish figures were part of the struggle against the
British, who continued to dominate the country after it was nominally declared
independent in 1922. One of these figures, Murad Beh Farag, was a co-author of
the first Egyptian constitution, adopted in 1923. He was an outspoken opponent
of the idea of a Jewish state.But the history of the Jewish community in
Egypt has been filled with intrigue, exile, and uncertainty. The most recent
chapter, since the establishment of Israel, has been especially
dark.There have been more than 50 years of anger – attacks and forced
exile by the government and widespread antagonism from the general population
for the Jews' alleged connections with the Israel.In 2004, as documented
by Rami Mangoubi in the Middle East Times, nearly all of the Jewish males in
Egypt were jailed or forced into exile for their purported connections with Tel
Aviv and the Jewish occupation of Palestinian lands after 1967.WITH THE
removal of long-time Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak in February, 2011, times
are changing in Egypt once again.The country is coming to terms with its
new democratic future, one fraught with tensions born of the struggle between
conservatives and liberals vying for control of the world's largest Arab
nation.The recent demonstrations at the US Embassy have occupied the
attention of Americans; but in Egypt itself, optimism is growing after a
tumultuous 18 months.Sam and Amira think Egypt can once again be the
tolerant and open society it once was. Amira hopes that in the new Egypt, the
country's Jewish history will become more widely known. She says, "I really
think that Egyptian Jews had a great role in the formation of this country, and
it has been lost sometimes as a result of the anger toward what Israel does to
Palestine; so I think that if people can start talking honestly about our
participation in Egypt, it will help see the return of many Jews in
exile.""Egyptians are welcoming people by cultural heritage and our
upbringing," Sam adds. "So, I don't think it is out of the question to be able
to have a flourishing Jewish society as part of the greater Egyptian culture. It
isn't as if we are foreign to the country. We have a long history of
living with Muslims and Christians."He says he knows dozens of Egyptian
Jewish families, living abroad for decades, who would love the opportunity to
return to their native Egypt. "Even after all these years, with the tensions and
even with Israel, I believe there are opportunities to have a strong Jewish
community here once again."In fact, Amira believes that people like her
and her brother can be instrumental in showing Egyptians that Egyptian Jews are
Egyptian first and have no love for what Israel is doing to the
Palestinians."At first glance, too often people think 'Jew' and
immediately think we are supporting Israel. This is not the case, and trying to
tell our history and show how we were mistreated can do a lot to end this
misunderstanding," she says.Sam and Amira finish their coffees and offer
to pay for all the drinks at our table before they head back into Egyptian
society.The writer is a seasoned journalist and the editor-in-chief of

"The standard is the standard," Mike Tomlin demands. For a while now, that standard in the Steelers secondary, at least at corner, has left something to be desired.
Perhaps the unit will take a step in the right direction today.
Steelers Digest's Twitter feed informs that Bryant McFadden has been deactivated for today's game vs. the Seahawks.
An ealier Steelers Digest Tweet indicated that William Gay will start in McFadden's place, and then go back to his positon as nickel back on third downs.
That means that "veteran" Keenan Lewis along with this year's 3rd draft pick Curtis Brown and 4th round draft pick Cortez Allen will likely get some playing time. While the prospect of playing so many inexperienced corners remains a little scary, these players represent the Steelers immediate future at corner.
As George Allen once said, "The future is NOW."
Time to take our first look at what these guys have got.
Thanks for visiting. Click here to follow us on Twitter @SteelCurtainRis.

Hamstring injury healed enough to return. Aaron Wilson
After missing the last two weeks due to a hamstring injury, it is expected that Eagles quarterback Michael Vick will start this week against the Giants.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Vick's hamstring has healed enough to where he'll be able to start. This comes at a good time, considering Nick Foles had a poor performance against the Cowboys this past Sunday in a 17-3 loss.
Foles relieved Vick three weeks ago when the initial hamstring pull occurred and then started the next two weeks with positive results. Then he played one of the worst games of the season from any quarterback, which ended when he sustained a concussion in the second half.
Vick's return will be welcomed, as he'll likely remain the starting quarterback for Philadelphia moving forward.

16. Picture of Malignant Melanoma
Image Source: Color Atlas of Pediatric Dermatology Samuel Weinberg, Neil S. Prose, Leonard Kristal Copyright 2008, 1998, 1990, 1975, by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
Malignant melanoma. Less than 2 percent of all melanomas occur during childhood. Nonetheless, attention must be paid to signs and symptoms suggestive of this potentially fatal disease. Variegations of color are of particular concern. Irregular or notched borders, bleeding, and ulceration are other signs of malignant change. The patient may give a history of itching, and the parents may have noted rapid growth of the lesion. Because the prognosis of a melanoma is most closely related to the thickness of the lesion at the time of treatment, emphasis should be on early diagnosis.

listen to 'Why is Ukip still stealing Conservative voters?' on Audioboo
"Boris Johnson is a massive Europhile!" That's one thing we learn in the latest Telegram – brought to the people live as a Google hangout. The subject is the Tories and Europe, and what the May elections have in store for poor old David Cameron. Benedict Brogan tells Tim Stanley that Conservative voters are still drifting to Ukip. Dominic Raab MP insists that his party will do better than expected and Louise Mensch (live from New York) says that the Lib Dems will be hurt the most.

Maria Miller has resigned.

As of this Saturday, British gay couples will be able to get married. Finally, they've won the right to be as miserable as the rest of us. In this week's Telegram we ask why this extraordinary social change has come about with so little protest. Graeme Archer, Father Andrew Cain and Peter Williams discuss what this means for both society and religion.
We also ask crime writer Alex Marwood, author of The Wicked Girls and The Killer Next Door,… Read More

Lord Tebbit foresees an explosion of financially motivated "suicides", while Tom Chivers insists that with the right safeguards, people should be allowed to die with dignity.

Power corrupts and it has corrupted Vladimir Putin absolutely. As the drama in Ukraine continues, we examine the mind and motivations of the man responsible.
Ian H Robertson, Professor in Psychology at Trinity College Dublin and author of The Winner Effect: How Power Affects Your Brain, explains how over time the need for power messes with the synapses and induces megalomania. The Professor tells us that the only way the West can get under Vladimir Putin's skin is through practical sanctions.

Nigel Farage is in hot water for lobbying the EU Parliament over e-cigarettes – without revealing that Ukip had taken £36,000 in donations from a leading manufacturer.
But the YouTube video in which he extols their virtues isn't the only time he's gone on the record with his support for fake fags. Back in November, we invited him and Peter Oborne – both nicotine addicts in long standing – on to the Telegram to discuss whether e-cigarettes could ever replace the real thing. You can hear what he had to say for himself below.
Here is the video that's caused all the fuss.

In the 1970s, some people on the Left expanded their minds so much that their brains fell out. How else to explain the association between the National Council on Civil Liberties with the vile Paedophile Information Exchange, and the failure to spot the abuse being carried out by Jimmy Savile? In this week's Telegram, Jenny McCartney and Iain Martin discuss what it was about the decade that created a poisonous alliance between sexual liberation and naive Left-wing politics. Also, is Russia a nationalist bully or a rational superpower defending its soft-Ukrainian underbelly?… Read More
The world has a new horror: Ukraine. This week, the Telegram talks to foreign correspondent David Blair in Kiev, where he tells us that the bloodshed and fighting suggests a country on the brink of civil war. Janet Daley and Peter Oborne argue over what the West should do – or if, even, it has the moral responsibility to do anything at all. Peter Oborne warns that we could be involving ourselves in a conflict that is beyond the usual paradigm of good vs evil.

Edward Snowden, far from being a heroic whistleblower, was a naive idiot who has handed a propaganda coup to one of the world's nastiest regimes, Putin's Russia. So says Edward Lucas, author of The Snowden Operation, who tells Tim Stanley that "Snowdenistas" are being manipulated by Russia much as CND supporters were in the 1970s.

A Guide to Good Table Manners
Experts in dining decorum share the social graces that make a meal a civilized affair.
Restaurant Seating Etiquette
Traditionally, a man cedes the inside seat, whether a banquette or a chair, to his female companion. "The woman faces out, and the man faces in―he should want to look at the most beautiful thing in the room," says Tracey Spillane, general manager and partner of Spago Beverly Hills. If you're dining with someone of the same sex, the guest gets first dibs on the best seat (and view), says Peggy Post, coauthor of Emily Post's Etiquette, 18th edition ($40, amazon.com). With friends, anything goes.

Some Russian patients come to Smile South Florida for general dentistry services, but most are interested in cosmetic procedures. Veneers are the most popular procedure, but implants and teeth whitening are also big. "The patients tell me that they cannot get these kind of services back home or that the quality of their cosmetic dentistry is not good," explains Dr. Nottingham. "Sometimes they even pay more than they would back in Russia, but they know that we will do a good job, so they are confident that it is money that is well spent."
International patients find their way to Dr. Nottingham in a variety of ways. They may locate him when searching on "best cosmetic dentist Florida" in Google or when looking at reviews on Yelp or Dr. Oogle. Many of the patients are repeat customers or have received recommendations from family and friends.
Recognizing that international patients face logistical obstacles, the staff at Smile South Florida is available to lend a helping hand. They often make travel and hotel arrangements for international patients. The office can make special arrangements with upscale hotels and provides recommendations for area spas, attractions, fun activities, and businesses. "Traveling can be tiring, so we want to help make it as pleasant and stress-free as possible." says Fort Lauderdale, FL cosmetic dentist, Dr. Nottingham. The practice's staff will also expedite appointments or set up schedules that will allow patients to get their needed services in the timeframe available. In fact, the staff at Smile South Florida treats every patient like a VIP. The practice's VIP service provides warm and cold beverages, snacks, blankets, DVD movies, and soothing music on an iPod.
As a Miami cosmetic dentist, Dr. Nottingham also offers his patients all the benefits of a Florida vacation. Patients can combine their dental work with trips to Florida's beaches or numerous other attractions, including theme parks. Many patients are snow birds who own vacation properties in Florida.

|January 20th, 2014
|Psychopathic Records
February 17 has now become an official annual Juggalo holiday and to mark this day of family flavor, the wicked clowns are saluting the almighty fourth Joker's Card…"The Great Milenko." Seventeen years after being released, "The Great Milenko" remains one of the most notorious and controversial albums ever released. For many Juggalos, this was the album that marked their introduction to ICP and the Dark Carnival and this is still one of the only albums to ever be pulled from store shelves by a record company over concerns about "album content" (BITE US, Disney/Hollywood Records). "The Great Milenko" holds a very special place in ICP's hearts and the time has come to salute the Dark Carnival's illusionist with his own unique event.
So that's why this year's Juggalo Day concert will be The Great Milenko Show. The fourth Joker's Card will be performed in its entirety from start to finish, featuring all the classic cuts you know and love such as "Piggy Pie," "Pass Me By," "Halls of Illusions," "House of Horrors," "Hocus Pocus" and many more. As I write this, J, Shaggs, Jumpsteady, Billy Bill and the rest of our Hatchet crew are strategizing ways to make this one of the FRESHEST concerts in Psychopathic history! It will be an evening filled with many surprises, as well as exclusive Juggalo Day merchandise.
The only bone…THIS SHOW IS ALREADY SOLD THE FUCK OUT! TICKETS WERE GONE IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS! We're sorry to all the ninjas who weren't able to get tickets in time.
Stay tuned for more information on VIP packages and show details! WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL NEXT MONTH!
Whaddup, my ninjas? This is your homie J-Webb and I'll be taking over the Hatchet Herald from here on out, as well as all the social media and the main website (www.insaneclownposse.com). Many of you already know me as the dude who updates the hotline (714-647-2465) but now I'll be taking on more responsibilities and I have one guiding principle in mind as I take on this new role: TO MAKE SURE THE JUGGALO FAMILY IS KEPT INFORMED OF UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION ABOUT ICP AND ALL ASSOCIATED ARTISTS AND TO STRENGTHEN THE BOND BETWEEN PSYCHOPATHIC RECORDS AND YOU, THE JUGGALOS.
It's an honor and a privilege to be talking to you…so let's get to it!
Wednesday, January 8 is one of those days that will forever be remembered as a pivotal day in Juggalo history. On that cold, snowy Michigan morning, ICP drove to the headquarters of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan in Downtown Detroit and along with a legal team of some of the best attorneys in the state, made an important announcement: ICP and four Juggalos from across the country were officially suing the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice to get Juggalos removed from the Fed's gang roster.
It was truly an amazing sight to behold. There were at least two dozen journalists crammed into the ACLU's conference room and other national publications like The New York Times and The Huffington Post were participating via conference call. On the opposite side of the table was Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, a dope ass Juggalo named Brandon who is a plaintiff in the lawsuit, and several attorneys and members of the ACLU, which is the largest and most powerful civil rights organization in America.
It was an amazing experience, one that ICP will never forget. All these powerful organizations standing up for the rights of Juggalos?!
The ACLU and the law firm of Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone (one of the largest law firms in Michigan) were officially announcing that they were joining the fight to clear the Juggalo family name and that they were filing an official lawsuit against the FBI and Justice Department in federal court.
It was an amazing experience, one that ICP will never forget. All these powerful organizations standing up for the rights of Juggalos?! Was this really happening? Yes, it was … and the media outlets that covered the event were almost entirely on our side. The press conference resulted in a total fucking tidal wave of positive press about the plight that Juggalos are facing due to the FBI's stale ass gang label. Even media outlets that normally diss ICP are having our backs about our lawsuit against the FBI because they realize this is about Juggalos having their Constitutional rights and civil liberties violated just for enjoying the music of a certain band—and that's just un-American.
Check out some of the fresh coverage about the FBI lawsuit here:

The Washington Times: Link

So it's now officially ON, Juggalos. We're suing the fuck out of the government and the ACLU and our legal team believes we have an excellent case. It's time to clear our name and for the FBI to recognize that we are a FAMILY and not some stupid ass "gang." We'll update you on any new developments as they unfold. In the meantime, stay strong, Juggalo brothers and sisters. We're in this fight together. And we WILL prevail.
Juggalos, we believe when you fuck up, you 'fess up to it, apologize and then—most importantly—take steps to ensure you don't make the same mistake twice … which brings us to the Hatchet Gear issues we experienced during this past holiday season.
We know a lot of Juggalos are seriously pissed at us because many orders that were placed during the holiday shopping season did not get fulfilled in time for Christmas and some folks are still waiting for their orders, especially ones with hoodies, jerseys, sweatpants or shorts (all of those are made-to-order items). We also heard complaints about ninjas not receiving the promised extra gift items, missing merch, the list of staleness goes on.
Here's the bottom line, Juggalos: We fucked up. Hard. And we're seriously fucking sorry. Just know that we're taking care of the issues that were causing the delays in orders and that we are rebuilding our entire shipping process from the ground up to ensure that we never have a repeat of this past holiday season.
We also know that many of you could not get an answer back from Hatchet Gear customer service when you called to inquire about your order. We're working on getting that fixed too. The best way to contact Hatchet Gear is by email at firstname.lastname@example.com – and you WILL get a response. You can also call, but email is a faster and easier way to get a response back from us.
Please know this -- as a Juggalo, you and your family are important to us and we value you as a customer and friend. So please accept our deepest apologies regarding the recent Hatchet Gear bones. It WILL improve and we promise to make sure that as our customer you are treated with prompt service, courtesy and Juggalo family love. In the meantime, we're working on getting all the kinks worked out and ensuring that Hatchet Gear remains your one-stop shop for all your Juggalo flavor needs.
Again, if you have ANY issues, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What up fellow ninjas,
I wanted to take a moment to recognize the passing away of a fellow Juggalo. His name was Aaron Spencer. I was told by his fiancée that he passed away quickly on January 15 at 3:16 am. A few weeks back his friends were able to reach out to me with the help of faygoluvers.net in the hopes that I would call him. I went to the Faygoluvers post pertaining to Aaron and read that he was very sick and that he considered me to be his favorite artist on Psychopathic and that he had a dream to one day see my song Ninjas in Action performed live. I called him on Christmas Day and told him I to had the same vision and came close once to actually making it happen. He told me how he moved to Colorado back in the day and there spread the Juggalo love wherever he went and was a big part of how the Juggalo movement over there got started. He also told me how sick he was and that he chose to return home to his family to send his final days amongst those he loved. I could tell just by that one phone conversation that he was a fresh ass ninja who remained strong even when faced with the twilight of his life.
After that conversation I felt the need to see him with an almost absolute resolution. I can't explain it in any other way except that somehow it became the single most important thing for me. On the eve of my departure I told my brother Joe (Violent J) about my mission for the first time and he immediately joined me. So we drove to Troy, Ohio, met up with our Juggalo homie Will and went to Aaron's apartment. There we met Aaron's fiancée, friends and family. The amount of instant connection I felt with them was overwhelming. There was a feeling of intense Karma and love that permeated the room. There Aaron lay in bed and even in his weakened state he has able to rise to greet us. They say that you can measure your own worth by the quality of fiends that you keep and even though Aaron was having difficulty speaking; the quality of Aaron's strength, personality and freshness was evident in all those who stood in that room and in the glow emanating from his own aura.
We all shared stories, laughed, hugged and even shed a few tears. I think for a moment, for everyone in that room, everything was alight. Even my own worries and fears just simply subsided and to me that meant something. One of the most important things in this life is the relationships you create with others and I feel that karmicly I received way more reward from meeting Aaron and his crew than he could have ever received from meeting me.
In remembrance of Aaron….we at Psychopathic along with ICP, Aaron's fiancée, his family, his close Juggalo homies and David Johnson of Menace to Sobriety fame (and a close friend) are all putting on a benefit show with Insane Clown Posse, Menace to Sobriety and From Silence to Violence performing. This show will take place around March 15th with all proceeds going to Aaron's family. The details of the show are close to being finalized but it will take place in Dayton, Ohio which is very close to Aaron's hometown. We ask that all Juggalos consider coming out to this show to support the cause and to pay homage to Aaron and all our fallen brothers and sisters throughout the years.
In closing, I wanted to add that Psychopathic sends out mad love to Aaron, his fiancée, his family and Juggalo homies and our prayers are with them during this difficult time. I have no doubt that when the time comes for all of us to cross from this world and into the next, that Aaron and all our Juggalo homies who have passed away before us will be there waiting on the other side.
Peace Always,

I have a pretty spectacular volunteer opportunity for anybody who is interested. This is for both current and former students, and for anybody else who might want to participate. From April 30 to May 3, 2015, Knoxville is hosting a major Civil War Sesquicentennial event called the Blue & Gray Reunion and Freedom Jubilee. A significant part of this event will be the celebration of the only African American Union regiment that served in East Tennessee - the First US Colored Heavy Artillery. Most of the members of that unit fled from slavery somewhere in East Tennessee or elsewhere in Southern Appalachia during late 1863 and early 1864 (especially in places exempt from the Emancipation Proclamation). In anticipation of the 2015, we are putting together a book and website that tells the story of the unit, and basing it on the transcription of over 3,000 pages of hand-written army records for the USCHA in the National Archives. Those archival pages have been photographed and digitized. Now we need to transcribe them and type them in to a searchable database, and it will take lots of work to get through the records before May 2015. If you have any interest in the Civil War, Tennessee history, African American history, or just want to get some experience working with original 19th century documents (digitized), this will be a great opportunity to contribute to a unique historical project. If you would like to participate, please either FB message me (Aaron Astor) or send me an email at email@example.com. Thank you.

Mid-summer in Vermont, many people are already thinking ahead to winter and buying their heating fuel ahead of time. In a pre-buy agreement, the fuel dealers estimate how many gallons of fuel the customer will likely use that winter and they purchase it ahead of time at the current price.
"For most years, this has turned out to be prudent," says Vermont Fuel Dealers Association Executive Director Matt Cota. "For most years, they've been able to secure a better price in the summer than they have in the winter. However, this isn't always true."
Cota says fuel dealers can make good guesses and offer advice to their customers, but they can't predict what the prices will be like in the winter.
"A pre-buy or a fixed price is a guarantee that that's the price you'll pay, but it's not a guarantee of savings," he says. "There's one example of one year where that didn't work out, where the price of heating fuel in the summer was actually higher than it was in the winter."
So if you're considering a pre-buy, Cota says there are a couple things you need to make sure you do before you sign anything:
1. Review all your options. While pre-buys are popular, there are also fixed price programs, where you can lock in your price and make budget payments through the winter. Some dealers also offer cap programs, where if the price goes up, your price stays the same, but you get to pay less if the price drops.
2. Also, read your contract carefully. And make sure it's in writing, as is required by Vermont law.
3. Finally, let your fuel dealer know about any changes in the home. For instance, if you've made it more energy-efficient, or if kids have left for college. That will help them better estimate how much fuel you'll use that winter. By law, your fuel dealer has to lock in the prices with their wholesaler within a week of selling the fuel to you.
So, how do you make sure you are getting the best price on the market for your fuel? You can call around to different dealers in your area. And the state has a Fuel Price Report that it releases each month, which will tell you what the average rate for a gallon of fuel is, that way you can make sure you're not getting charged more.

77-y-o worries about survival now that welfare benefit ceased
BY INGRID BROWN Associate editor - special assignment firstname.lastname@example.com
THE loss of both his legs close to 20 years ago did not kill Lloyd Noicley's spirit.
But the 77-year-old, who was recently struck from the list of beneficiaries under Government's social welfare system, the Programme of Advancement Through Health and Education (PATH), now fears that the quality of life he has enjoyed and the independence he has cultivated over the years will soon be eroded.
Noicley, who has done everything for himself since his legs were amputated said he has been making ends meet with the $2,800 he receives as pension from the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) each fortnight and the $3,000 from PATH every two months. He is now at a loss as to how he will manage without the latter.
"Is the first from mi foot cut off that mi fret so from me hear 'bout the PATH money because mi nuh know how mi going to manage," Noicley said as his eyes welled up with tears.
"Mi still weed mi yaad and all the roadside, wash mi clothes and throw them over the line and pin them and mi clean up mi banana walk miself, fork mi place, burn it, and plant mi banana," said the St Thomas resident, as he demonstrated his ability to undertake the chores.
"Ah just mek up me mind and ask God to help me because mi nuh have nutten more to live off," he said.
According to Noicley, he was looking forward to collecting the PATH benefit to purchase groceries this month and was devastated when the postmistress in his Rowlandsfield community informed him that no cheque had arrived for him.
"Right now if ah want ah drink mi haffi trust it from the shop because mi caan buy it," said the former cane cutter.
The senior citizen said he sometimes receives food from a neighbour, Canaan Jones, and from his church, but Noicley said he does not like to beg and had relished the independence which his own money gave him. To make matters worse, Noicley said he recently had to give up his plot of small cultivation as a relative needed the space to build a chicken coop.
And if that were not worrying enough, the senior said his wheelchair is falling apart.
"A lady mother died and she give me this chair and it is me who buy the paint and spray it miself, but mi need one with a soft seat because this one burn me bottom and it is hard to manoeuvre on the road when me going to church and so on," he said.
"I would really like a chair that can go about so mi can go to mi church because when mi have to use the wheel to push miself with mi hand all dog filth sometimes mess me up," he explained.
As for the reason his legs were amputated, Noicley explained that it was still a mystery to him.
"I woke up one morning and put on my water boot to go to the field and when mi come back mi feel mi big toe a burn mi and then shortly after one foot just start turn black," he said. Weeks later he received the devastating news from his doctor that his toe would have to be amputated. Weeks after losing the toe Noicley was back in the hospital removing his leg, and a year later he began experiencing similar symptoms which led to the removal of the other leg.
He was 60 at the time and had to learn to care for himself as he had no immediate family support.
After the frist amputation Noicley said he was up and about on crutches within three days. Since then, he has made every effort to remain positive and not worry about anything.
"I sometimes think about losing my legs, but if I was fretting you wouldn't come see mi here," he said with an infectious grin. "Me just feel happy same way and mi nuh bother fret up miself," he said.
Meanwhile, Noicley's cousin Lindel Parkes said he is still amazed at the senior citizen's independence.
"Everything him do fi himself, even weed the yaad and rake it up," Parkes said.
"Mi know nuff people without foot who sit down and fret and pass off, but not him," he added.
Neighbour Orville Hendricks also lauded Noicley for being so active despite his disability.
"He is such an active man that maybe him woulda all waan fi climb tree too because if him come and see mi ah do something him want to help," he said, adding that the senior citizen helps to maintain the grounds of the nearby community centre.
"Him all help to cut the playfield and rake it up all the time," Hendricks added.
Lloyd Noicley demonstrates how he weeds his yard despite being confined to a wheelchair.
Lloyd Noicley said the independence he has developed over the years since having lost his legs is now being threatened by the decision to remove him from the PATH programme.
Noicley gets ready to alight from his chair.
