it was never a movement,only a big homeless party....perhaps try again,with a different name,more revolution!
When the sound and fury of Occupy Wall Street reached Denver one year ago this week, it became one of the city's largest stories — until, despite itself, it wasn't anymore. It's hard to pinpoint when, exactly, that moment happened; perhaps it was when a handful of protesters interrupted a vigil for the deceased homeless, or when, a few weeks later, they Tebowed on the streets outside a fiery Civic Center Park. The movement's loss of relevance might even have occurred when, less than six months into its history, Mayor Michael Hancock declared it to be so: The media stopped caring, he told Westword. We just don't do things like that in Denver.
But we do, actually. Or we did. Occupy Wall Street celebrated its one-year anniversary on September 17, while Occupy Denver's birthday occurs on September 23 — even though the camping ban that was passed in May has prevented anyone from occupying much of anything, overnight at least. There are many things about the movement that made us hope, but there are also many things that made us hate it. Here's a list of five.
They ruined sidewalk camping
Or at least they did until the city council made it illegal for anyone to do so again. For weeks on end, through rain and snow and the occasional weather-induced hospital trip, devotees of the political movement snacked, snoozed and snored in a public park. When they were kicked out of that spot, the state-monitored Lincoln Park, they moved across Broadway to Civic Center Park, where they proceeded to trash the place to the point that it required repairs; this was shortly after taxpayers voted to spend millions of dollars to beautify the spot. Their most recent overnight occupation was on the sidewalk outside of Sports Authority during Sniagrab.
They yelled a lot
When they yelled at Fox 31 political reporter Eli Stokols, he actually yelled back, but he was the only public figure to have dished it as well as the occupiers served it. Occupiers shouted at passersby, at police and at politicians. They interrupted vigils and Thanksgiving dinners for the homeless, and they made several city council members red in the face when they shouted "Shame!" during hours-long debates over the urban-camping ban. They even shouted with silence: Some Occupiers taped dollar bills over their mouths in a symbolic protest over the financial disparity they saw between lawmakers and those most affected by the young law. They never stopped shouting. So most of the city stopped listening.
They elected a dog
Last year, Occupy elected Shelby the dog as the leader of their leaderless movement, a concept that was a mixed bag of awesome and embarrassing — and worthy of mentions on Gawker, NPR and The Rachel Maddow Show. And although Shelby is, by all accounts, a friendly, intelligent and well-mannered border collie mix, she and her equally friendly owner are actually from Boulder, which doesn't give them quite enough power to reign over Denver. Like Occupy Denver, Shelby's bark was worse than her bite.
They lit our park on fire
On December 20, Civic Center Park was temporarily ablaze during a demonstration between police and protesters. And while both sides rarely maintained their cool, this time a small handful of protesters decided to make it very, very hot — by lighting the Occupation's temporary, and quite flammable, cardboard shelters on fire. This is why you don't have nice things, Occupy Denver.
Nut taps
Infamous protester Corey Donahue may or may not have jokingly tapped the nuts of a newspaper photographer, but the laugh-leaning headlines he created also distracted people from the Occupation's larger issues — financial disparity, homelessness, etc. — and became a recurring problem. They also created a misdemeanor assault charge that could get Donahue up to eighteen months in jail.
it was never a movement,only a big homeless party....perhaps try again,with a different name,more revolution!
Whoever wrote this nailed it with a laser beam. I was involved with Occupy in the beginning but I eventual left because, as they would say, the movement got co-opted, it was co-opted by immature, overly aggressive twenty-something idiots in black bandanas whose sole mission became fighting with the cops. Their whole mantra now is FTP. FTP this, FTP that, personally I do not have a problem with the police because they are part of the 99%. Remember the 99%? Wall Street? That is what it was supposed to be about. When I was down there I went out of my way to try and build a good rapport with the police. Did some of them respond in kind? Yes. Did some of them remain unfriendly? Yes, but at least things were civil.
I wanted to go with the peaceful, non-aggressive, non-violent approach but if you suggested that to them they told you you were uninformed and that type of approach never worked. Ironically they gave you the Civil Rights struggle as an example? I believe it was Dr. Martin Luther King's method that worked and not the method of the Black Panthers or the Weather Underground. Last November when the sh*t hit the fan down at Civic Center Park I was right there under the trees when it all went down. They will say all the blame was on the police, but I saw, in my opinion, otherwise. I saw plenty of water bottles being thrown and police motorcycles being kicked and pushed over. That is the day the rational adults-in-the-room left and have not returned.
All that is left now is the D.A.B.C., the Denver Anarchist Black Cross. Just go to the Occupy Denver Facebook page and then the Denver Anarchist Black Cross Facebook page and match up the faces to the names and voila that is what's left of Occupy Denver. Go to the Occupy Denver web page, click on committees, then click on legal support and there you can see it's the same losers time and time again being arrested over and over needing your donations for bail money. They think hiding their faces behind bandanas is really working, too late; we already know who they all are.
I'd like to publish some of these comments in our print edition, where the story appeared, ideally with the author's full name and town. If that's okay, e-mail me at email@example.com. (And comments responding to comments really won't work -- but Tim07, Penny and mraufklarung, yours would be perfect.) Or feel free to send something else I can use as a letter to the editor.
That fire was the coolest thing that happened in denver this year, period.
so occupy is dead, because mayor hancock and the westword say it is so!
why the westword focused so much of its coverage around corey donahue remains a myth to us all. he was not in solidarity with the organizers of the movement, i could go on but i won't. so like... nut taps? really? i dont think anyone else even covered that article. maybe the westword should reflect on how much coverage it gave to corey donahue, and if THAT hurt our movement?
it is a mystery to me that westword has never done any coverage of the teach ins that occupy has been doing, the foreclosure resistance, the fact that even though we are "dead" we still can pull hundreds to events to march for solidarity for quebec students or anaheim. is anyone else in this city even trying to show solidarity with labor & social movements happening around the world?
and you blame occupy denver for ruining sidewalk camping? is that victim blaming? is that wreckless? is it true? lets be honest, for a split second.... 90% of the people who were "sidewalk" camping were straight up homeless people, so you're applauding the city on this and blaming occupy denver? blame hancock and the city council for NOT GIVING A SHIT about putting peoples lives in jeopardy. we continue to do feed ins in the park, a year later, we have become real advocates for that community.
i think it is shameful that the most negative piece that came out about occupy denver for S17 was in the westword. you make it seem like its all our fault, and its not, its a national trend, its the ebb and flow of social movements, fads if you will, and a symbol of what can happen to a great idea if it is violently repressed by the state and media. yes we have made mistakes, most of us are first time activists and this is a giant learning experience.
Occupy Denver is alive and well. Though the camping ban ended the physical occupation, the movement is still living, breathing, changing, growing. This article illustrates the kind of perspective that holds us back as human beings and keeps us trapped in the sickness of the dominant system--the perspective that emanates from ego, and is unable to see beyond the limits of its own comfort. Sure, Occupy Denver has made some mistakes. We're only human. But we're willing to take risks and to live with some discomfort in order to discover what happens when we decide to stand up for ourselves and stand up for each other.
Shelby continues to lead to this day. She is running for president.
This is an incredibly vacuous editorial - a kind of smirking nod to other liberals who think politics is merely voting and grassroots activists are never effective. The author has clearly never participated in practical politics and thinks that talking about this shit is just like doing it. I also love how the author criticizes Occupy activities for distracting "people from the Occupation's larger issues — financial disparity, homelessness, etc", yet the entire piece is precisely that: a distraction. Occupy has saved people in foreclosure, fought like hell for the basic survival of the homeless against the monied front of the Downtown Denver Partnership, and called out the perpetrators of our financial crisis and economic recession, while folks like this author sat it out or tweeted some snarky remarks. This is another way of saying that the author and what they write is completely irrelevant. It does no more than satisfy their own smugness, which distracts them from the fact that neither they nor those for whom they write, are actually doing anything about "financial disparity, homelessness, etc."
Just out of curiousity, if you don't mind me asking, what are you politically up to now? Are you working with other organizations on related issues (e.g. economic, political, and racial justice) or are you not politically active anymore? I ask, because your critique is about one part of Occupy Denver (and many have shared your critique), but tents and FTP marches aren't all of Occupy. I guess I'm wondering if you still think Wall Street crime, or capitalism in general, is a problem and are organizing against it, but just not with Occupy. (I'm honestly asking, but understand if you don't want to respond)
@tim07 A national trend? It's over. I think there are some tree mosses and rare gnats in Civic Center Park that need saving.
@pennymcclure You people do more harm than good !! Get a job and vote ... you cost millions when our cities do not have millions to spend !! You call yourself patriots ?? NOT !!
@mraufklarung Occupy Denver was a fad, at best. Guess you'll have to ride your single-gear back to City o' City and read obscure conspiracy theories on your Mac while sipping organic chai in your ironic cardigan and your scruffy face pubes. Douche.
@rockiesfever I nominate rockiesfever's as the best comment on here.
So a friend of mine with resources I lack tells me that our naysayer friend, Yessir, is employed by the PR firm Linhart for pro-corporate (and obviously anti-activist) blogging. That is to say, he gets paid--by a local PR firm--to troll with a pro-corporate, anti-democratic message. Lovely, no? Here is the PR firm's website: http://www.linhartpr.com/blog/
@jobarrett219 @pennymcclure It's a lot easier to live off of trust funds and take up worthless causes because you're bored.
@Yessir This is the kind of vacuous thought demonstrated in the article. Clearly, Yessir is not involved in practical politics (besides making snide comments on blogs and websites), does not have any analysis of our economic recession, financial crisis, institutional failures, etc., and believes that his or her apathy is somehow a neutral position rather than a contributing factor to our problems. Yessir can clear his or her mind of these concerns, and absolve his or herself of the guilt they feel for doing nothing (and they do feel this guilt - it fuels their childlike judgement of others) by constructing a mythical image of an individual involved in Occupy and then dismiss them. This is political psychology 101, yet people like Yessir try to present themselves as so self-assured about their judgements (precisely because their so unsure of their own position) that we can see right through them. You're like an empty glass - we can right into the emptiness, Yessir. When you actually have a productive analysis of our economic and political problems and are willing to get off your ass and do something about those problems, we'll be waiting for you. And we won't even hold your earlier childlike comments against you.
@mraufklarung @tim07 Do you have any idea how fucking crazy you are? Your friend must be imaginary and comes and goes, depending on whether you've remembered your daily medication. I clicked on your link. Never been to that site before, but nice try. This is why your movement is dwindling. You're like Helen Keller swinging away in front of a t-ball stand.
@Yessir @jobarrett219 @pennymcclure I've always been poor, but I've got a bachelor's degree, and a job, and I vote, just like many others who participate in the movement. I certainly don't call myself a patriot. America was built on a foundation of brutal colonization, and it continues that violent legacy today. I'm a just a person. I'm for people. I'm for basic human rights for all people.
Unfortunately, working and voting are not sufficient ways of securing these basic human rights for all. I have a job, and an education, and enough to eat every day, but not all of my friends and neighbors and sisters and brothers do. I'm concerned about them, too. Because we are all connected. I can't be satisfied that I have enough while others do not. I can't sit back and watch the system continue to brutalize people. I'm compelled to stand up and do what I can. This is not a fight that can be won overnight, or one that can produce immediate, quantifiable results. It's little changes happening in everyday moments. It's an ongoing struggle that will take new forms and shapes. The most important part of that struggle is happening right now, inside you. You can choose selfishness and condemnation and fear, or you can choose love.
So a friend of mine with resources I lack tells me that our naysayer friend, Yessir, is employed by the PR firm Linhart for pro-corporate (and obviously anti-activist) blogging. That is to say, he gets paid--by a local PR firm--to troll with a pro-corporate, anti-democratic message. Lovely, no? Here is the PR firm's website: http://www.linhartpr.com/blog/
@Yessir its easy to fight your way out of a wet paper bag. its harder to fight through concrete, bricks and empire.
@tim07 Sounds like you'll be fighting your way out of a wet paper bag for the rest of your life. Good luck with that.
@Yessir @jobarrett219 @pennymcclure been there, done that. that "love it or leave it" shit dont fly. this is where i was born, this is where i will fight to create the world i want to see.
@tim07 @jobarrett219 @pennymcclure Well, Canada is right to the north, and Mexico is to the south. I have some extra boxes and packing tape, if you'd like.
@Yessir @jobarrett219 @pennymcclure oh... and who said we were "patriots?" this country is an abomonation and i'd sooner see it dismantled then call myself a patriot.
@Yessir @jobarrett219 @pennymcclurei know everyone involved with occupy denver. there isn't a single person there living off a trust fund, honestly. a couple are living off college loans, but most are just working poor.
@Yessir Careful you don't pat yourself on the back too hard there buddy. That backbone of yours seems like its only strong enough for anonymous internet rants. So you pity the homeless and deign to toss them your alms and the jeans you got too fat for? Want a cookie? Take your pecan-sized balls off the keyboard and get back to work, I think your boss is coming.
@mraufklarung Yeah, yeah, yeah... Proletariat this and obfuscate that. Adjunctification unequivocally my balls on your chin. What, are you jealous that I actually helped people while you just took up space and wasted money on a cause nobody really cares about enough to pursue longer than six months? Sounds like serious mismanagement of resources. You're not an activist just because you read some Ayn Rand in high school. You're not a revolutionary just because you took a break from dumpster-diving behind the DU dorms to go to a few meetings. If you were for real, you would have made it work. It didn't work. Instead, your movement is fading away into obscurity. Where are the people? Those with something worth living for have moved on. Where is your support? Where are your benchmarks for success? You annoyed some people just long enough to delay a foreclosure or two? Wow! I'm in freaking awe! Here's wishing you the best of luck on your next wasted effort.
@Yessir WOW you give quarters to homeless people? What a revolutionary you must be. I bet you're a cop.
@Yessir Yessir, no one reading these posts would ever seriously believe that a mean-spirited person like yourself would ever actually do anything for those in need (if you did, we would have met during our campaign against the criminalization of homelessness in Denver). And only a mind like your own could conclude that political activists don't care about those marginalized or suffering and actually dedicate time and money to help. We all know that you don't actually do anything for your community and since you're obsessed with this hipster thing (news flash: Denver hipsters generally aren't politically active) I'm assuming you have some insecurity issues related to your appearance. Perhaps it 's time for you to pack it up and go home. Unless, of course, you're one of those bloggers paid by Wall Street PR firms to post nonsense on these types of sites. Am I getting close?
@mraufklarung u mad bro? I think there's a sale on corduroy at the Buffalo Exchange. You can wear them during your interpretive dance sessions with the DABC idiots. In the time it takes you to write your shallow, go-nowhere ideals on these blogs, you could be giving homeless people quarters, donating clothes, or volunteering at the Denver Mission and actually making a difference in this world like this "empty glass" does. Just a thought. Smoking pot, littering, and stinking up the park hasn't turned the recession around, has it? Didn't think so. Come on, throw some other polysyllabic words out there. See if anything changes (it won't).

'Twas the night before a frenzy and all through the league, every pundit was prepping for long weekend fatigue...
The big day turned out to be rather uneventful, with only a few notable names finding homes. That said, it was a good weekend for the Edmonton Oilers - they won the Schultz sweepstakes and retained the still very effective Ryan Smyth on an extremely reasonable deal. Those additions and others across the Nation were set-up and discussed yesterday by LT and a wide range of guests, including Terry Jones, Tom Lynn and Bruce McCurdy.

Jets Brass Smart To Stay Away From July 1 Madness
Matt Eichel
July 02 2012 08:19AM
For Jets fans on Twitter throughout Canada Day and, to a lesser extent depending who you are, Free Agent Frenzy, there was much to do about why the Jets were not signing players and, in essence, losing more players to other teams than signing more.
In a day that saw a number of teams land bigger name free agents - Dallas landing Ray Whitney, Tampa landing Sami Salo, Colorado landing P.A. Parenteau, and Vancouver landing Jason Garrison - the Jets had a net loss of players, as forward Tanner Glass signed a two-year deal with Pittsburgh worth $1.1 mil per and backup goalie Chris Mason returning to the club who drafted him for one year worth $1.25 mil per.
These two departures may be the biggest blow to any Jet fans ego because of the weight these guys held with the fans and with the team identity.

Sharing the burden of a high pressure environement can often bring you closer than you might expect to people you wouldn't normally hang out with. Of course, sometimes, you're lucky enough to meet someone who is actually a decent person in this same situation, and you become something of a Bert & Ernie.
In the case of Nik Antropov and Alexei Ponikarovsky, it was the (probably unfair and impetuous) expectations of Leafs' fans all across the globe that Nik and Poni should turn into superstars that provided the fertile loveground this bromance to blossom. That is, we have to assume that's why they became such friends, since fan pressure gets all the heat for negative things, so why not let it have this one win?

It's probably not a good idea to put all the photos in one post so I'll break them up by item.
Starting with this silver tray. There are no marks on it, I'm assuming that means it's plate. I know it was purchased at Marshall Fields Antiques as a gift for my parent's anniversary in 1969. It had an identifying card from Field's and there was more information about the tray but I can't locate the card - still looking - should be here. Any ideas? I mean about the tray, not where the card is ;-) It's beautiful but very difficult to use due to the size and far more ornate than my taste. I've managed a couple of table displays with it at holiday time but that's about it. Measures 24" (30" handle to handle) x 19"
Follow-Up Postings:
It's a lovely gallery tray....probably replated and that explains the absence of marks. Would be dynomite on a side board or a dresser holding "stuff. Originally meant to hold a coffee or tea service. Would be beyond handy to carry say drinks and snacks into the living room...or dessert and coffee pups. Linda c |
Linda if that tray was loaded with drinks I'd never be able to carry it - weighs a ton empty!! Replated - that makes sense about not having marks - thanks. |
- Posted by antiquesilver (My Page) on Fri, Feb 26, 10 at 18:00
That is one gorgeous tray! If you're not using it, just ship it to me - I'll even pay the postage, LOL! If it's super heavy, the base metal may very well be copper &, to my eye, it looks English. It looks to have very fine detail for something that was replated & I'm suprised that no hint of a mark shows through but I'm no expert on replating. Maybe you'll find the card & give us some juicy details. Meanwhile, look in all the inconspicious place for a mark. I don't try to serve filled wine glasses on a tray - I'm clumsy - so I set the tray next to the bubbly, or whatever, & have the stemware on the tray awaiting guests. Crystal & silver make a nice table decoration all by themselves but throw in a flower or ribbon or sprig of greenery & you have an elegant arrangement. |
"I set the tray next to the bubbly, or whatever, & have the stemware on the tray awaiting guests." That's what I do when I entertain -- but my gallery tray isn't nearly that nice! That's one lovely piece... |
Obviously I need lessons in how to entertain :-\ I'll get it under a bright light and look with a magnifying glass. There's nothing on the flat underside for sure so it would have to be small and stamped under a handle or in the outside of the gallery if there is a mark. |
Whaa Hooo. A realy big cookie tray!! (Just kidding.) It is beautiful. |
FOUND IT! The ID card, I mean. It reads: Marshall Field & Company (then hand written) A fine old English Plate waiter. Oval body with pierced flange, rich hand engraving So... a couple of questions. Not that I think this isn't plated, but does the word 'Plate' refer to the use or the finish? The capitalization is what makes me question. I'm assuming the numbers are some kind of coding for their inventory, or..... is it? Now the card will be tucked inside the silvercloth bag the tray lives in so I won't lose it again. |
English Plate means silverplated. Waiter means it's a tray with a gallery. |

If the numbers aren't engraved on the tray, chances are they are M-F's; I don't know of any other explanation. Sometimes the mfgr puts marks that are scratched on referencing weight or the initials of a particular silversmith who decorated it, or an owner put his i.d. on it in case of theft - but none of those situations seem to apply. |
Thanks - I keep getting smart and smarter here LOL! |
And often if a piece is repaired or resilvered, the person who does the work puts their mark on there too. It can get complicated!! Linda C |
Gorgeous tray! I collect silver trays whenever I find one at the right price altho none of mine are as old or valuable as yours. IKWYM about it being heavy as a couple of mine are too heavy for me to use as trays. I guess those butlers were pretty strong! I use mine to hold decorative items/vignettes on sideboards or coffee tables. Hope you will find a way to display or use this lovely tray. Too nice to be hidden away. |

Blizzard celebrate Diablo 3 success with booze-up
Earlier this week Blizzard revealed that a whopping 6.3 million copies of Diablo 3 have now been sold making it the fastest selling PC game ever.
Sure the game is being criticised by some die-hard fans left right and centre and the launch didn't go as smoothly as planned, but you have to celebrate that 6.3 million somehow.

Annnnd we're back!
The first weekend of the NHL season has finally come and gone, and in the most predictable thing ever, outcomes would've been tough to predict.
Eight teams that made the conference semis last year (Rangers, Caps, Devils, Flyers, Blues, Kings, Coyotes, Predators) are 2-8-1.
— Dave Lozo (@DaveLozo) January 21, 2013
Yipes. Of that group only the Blues and Devils found a way to chalk up a win, while the New York Rangers, Phoenix Coyotes and Philadelphia Flyers find themselves pointless after two contests.
Let's dive into our "things of note" from the weekend, including some highlights, some opinions and a few stats.
* Part way through this weekend, the NHL's top-10 looked like you accidentally set the year to the late 80′s. Or possibly for the future. Or that names were randomly drawn out of a hat. I have no idea.
Had you cribbed this screenshot a few hours earlier, it would've had your two scoring leaders as Jaromir Jagr and Teemu Selanne up top, with Alexei Kovalev, the new Florida Panther, and Martin St. Louis trailing them by one. Fortunately, we have the 19 year old Jonathan Huberdeau to balance them out.
Fun random fact though: the NHL named Selanne, Jagr and St. Louis their three stars on opening night. Those three guys combine to be 119 years old. For context, the Oilers top line equals 62.
* Erik Karlsson, your defending Norris Trophy winner, has huge offensive expectations this year. Not a bad start, I'd say.
For those of you who can't quite read that, one goal, two assists for three points, plus two, and a boatload of ice time.
* Specifically, Karlsson played 25:35, which was slightly more than that of new Sabres acquisition John Scott, who got three shifts for a total of 2:10 (When do you think Scott catches Karlsson's first game total? March?). Still, you want to be sharp when you get your minutes, right? Hit that ammonia stick, brother. (S/t to @SeanGentille and @AndrewBHDL)
Those things really do provide with this crazy moment of clarity. It like, refocuses your eyes for a second, or something.
* Henrik Lundqvist didn't have his best weekend, and found himself yanked from the game against the Pens in the second period.
Tonight is the first time Lundqvist has been pulled since March 31, 2011 when he let up four on 22 shots against the Islanders.
— Dave Lozo (@DaveLozo) January 21, 2013
…but he did do this the night before…
* Vladimir Tarasenko made his St. Louis Blues debut, and holy shit, was he fantastic:
* Okay, apparently I really lied about keeping it positive. Check out Rangers "defense"man Stu Bickel on this play, #41. I don't even know if it's worth giving the Systems Analyst treatment to this goal, cause frankly, he just takes a terrible angle while running at a guy:
* Nazem Kadri, the oft-talked about Leafs' prospect opened the scoring for the Leafs this season, as Toronto took down Montreal 2-1 to get their season going. Something called a "Ben Scrivens" got the win.
* It took the Canucks about 30 minutes to have goalie controversy. First they sign Cory Schneider to a deal and name him the starter. Then they don't find a trade for Luongo. They start the year with a combined cap hit of $9.33M in the crease. Then Schneider gives up five goals in his debut and gets yanked for Lu, who gives up two. Lu starts the second game and stops 30 of 32 to earn the Canucks their first point of the season.
* When you don't have a ton of depth, you tend to ride your stars more. After day one of the NHL season, the Islanders had five players on the front page of the time-on-ice leaders, including John Tavares (an absurd 25:31) and Andrew MacDonald, who saw over 27 minutes in the Isles first contest, a 2-1 loss to the Devils.
* The Wild's big off-season acquisition, Zach Parise, got on the board with this bomb, the only goal in the Wild's 1-0 win over the Stars. Wild are 2-0-0 to start the season, which must feel good after going all-in this summer.
Hockey's back!

Rosebell Kagumire: "East Africa: The Preventable Crisis"
Rosebell Kagumire writing about the famine in East Africa for OXFAM International:
On Tuesday this week, the Daily Monitor newspaper in Uganda reported the death of two people in the eastern district of Bulambuli. Local authorities there said the two had died due to hunger. They also warned that that there could be more deaths.
In desperation the local area leader pleaded, "hunger is killing us, please we are asking government to come to our rescue, our children have abandoned school and can't go back because there is no food."
The district, like many others, has experienced drought since April. And though Eastern Uganda is not on any of the drought-affected maps that I have seen aid agencies using for purposes of responding to the current food crisis, the problem of food insecurity and failure of Eastern African governments to put in place measures to prevent death and devastation is out there.
Oxfam has called the food crisis facing East Africa the worst of the 21st Century. Across Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya, 12 million people are in dire need of food, clean water, and basic sanitation. The UN has declared famine in Southern Somalia. Nearly half of the Somali population is now in crisis, with an estimated 2.8 million people affected. The main focus has been on the humanitarian needs for the worst affected. The UN estimates that $1billion extra is required to meet immediate needs, and of this so far less than $200 million has been provided.
For those interested in offering assistance, the Canadian government has promised to match donations made by Canadians within a set time frame to registered and eligible NGOs. See here.

In very sad news, Del Martin, the lesbian activist who was finally able to marry her life partner, Phyllis Lyon, in June, has died at the age of 87. Martin and Lyon were the first lesbian couple to be married after California lifted the ban on gay marriage. It's so bittersweet that she was able to marry Lyon before her passing — and infuriating she wasn't able to do it earlier. [AP] Keep reading »

NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine. The members of the committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special competences and with regard for appropriate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Frank Press is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Robert M. White is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and upon its own initiative to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Samuel O. Thier is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was established by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Engineering in the conduct of their services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Frank Press and Dr. Robert M. White are chairman and vice-chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.
This project was supported by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) through grants DAMD17-88-2-8016 and DAMD17-87-G-7021.

Volunteer Awards and Recognitions
For decades, national Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) Adult Awards have provided a consistent framework and valuable resources to help councils formally recognize volunteers who devote time and energy to our movement. In 2010, GSUSA revised the adult awards in order to meet the needs of the volunteer roles that emerged to support the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and implementation of Pathways. Volunteers and staff across all departments and functions within the council are encouraged to participate in the nomination of adults or volunteer teams for formal awards, including the GSUSA Adult Awards. Say 'Thank You' all year long! Girl Scouts of the USA received feedback from existing volunteers through a survey on what types of recognition and awards they appreciated the most. Being recognized by individual and groups of Girl Scouts was the most appealing form of recognition—nearly 9 out of 10 volunteers found this method appealing. Look for ways to thank and appreciate each of the volunteers you are in contact with. Deadline for formal awards are due by February 15 to be included in the Annual Meeting but thank you isn't limited to the end of the year. You can now submit your award nomination online! |

The Property Tax Statement is mailed at the end of each January to the owner of record, as their name and mailing address are listed on the Tax Roll as of January 1st. The Tax Roll is prepared and maintained by the County Assessor's Office.
If you have not received a tax statement by February 5th, please contact the Treasurer's Office at 970-728-4451 and a duplicate statement will be mailed.
Address Change
The San Miguel County Treasurer must be notified of the change in mailing address for each property you own. Please make change of address in writing or by e-mail and include a contact phone number. Mail to the Treasurer at PO Box 488, Telluride, CO 81435 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Treasurer is required to mail tax statements directly to the owner of the property. If your mortgage company pays your taxes, do not make payment directly to the Treasurer's office. Mortgage companies obtain a tax list from the Treasurer. All tax payments are accepted until the account is paid in full, regardless of whether the owner or mortgage company remitted payment. If you are unsure if your mortgage company pays your taxes, please check with your mortgage company. The property owner is ultimately responsible for timely payment being received.
By Mail
If mailing your payment, please mail to the San Miguel County Treasurer's Office, PO Box 488, Telluride, CO, 81435. We do not receive mail delivery at the street address. Please include the payment coupon for each property.
We accept postmark for determining timeliness of payment for the three major tax payment deadlines. For other payments such as redemptions, the payment must be actually received in the office by deadline for the payment to be on time.
Overnight Delivery or In Person
Payments may be made in person or sent overnight to the Treasurer's Office in the County Courthouse, 305 W Colorado Ave, Telluride, CO, 81435. Office hours are Monday - Friday, 9am - 4:45pm.
Online payments are subject to a convenience fee charged by our vendor. Please click on the "Tax Info" button on the left sidebar. Instructions on using the tax information link and payment website.
Colorado Revised Statutes mandate that the Treasurer mail the Property Tax Statement to the owner of record, as their name and address are listed on the Tax Roll certified by the County Assessor. Therefore, your mortgage company DOES NOT receive a copy of the Property Tax Statement. Most mortgage companies perform their own research on the property taxes for which they are responsible by your contractual agreement. If you feel your mortgage company needs a copy of your Property Tax Statement, simply send them a photocopy or contact the Treasurer's Office for an additional copy.
Remember it is your responsibility to make certain your taxes are paid on time even if you have a mortgage company who pays your taxes on your behalf.
Property Taxes are due January 1st for the previous year. Payment may be paid in two equal installments or in one full installment. Only HALF or FULL payments can be accepted per Colorado Revised Statutes. Partial payments are not acceptable and will be returned to the sender. Payments bearing U.S. postmarks for payment deadline dates will be accepted as timely paid. If no postmark is shown on a mailed payment, the payment will be considered late if received later than 5 days after payment due date according to State Statutes. Delinquent interest at 1% per month is added to the tax amount if your payment is postmarked after the deadline date or has no postmark and is received over 5 days after the payment deadline.
Tax Payment Deadlines:
Full Payment must be paid or U.S. postmarked by April 30th
OR if paying in equal half payments
First Half Payment must be paid or U.S. postmarked by February 28th and
Second Half Payment must be paid or U.S. postmarked by June 16th
1% interest for failure to pay by due date is charged on the first of each month with no proration according to Colorado State Statues. Payment cannot be accepted without interest if taxes are delinquent.
Property taxes become delinquent June 16th.

Ad Valorem taxes are based on the property value only, and not the property owner's ability to pay.
The 2014 Tax Lien Sale will be held on MONDAY NOVEMBER 24, 2014. Investors interest rate is 10% for tax liens sold in 2014.
2014 Tax Lien Sale Informational Brochure available Here
2014 Tax Lien Sale Delinquent Tax Listing
Purpose of Tax Lien Sale
All property (real) taxes must be collected in order to meet the budget of all certified taxing authorities. Therefore, an annual Tax Lien Sale is held to collect the unpaid taxes. These taxes are purchased by investors who, in turn, earn interest on the tax liens against these properties. The amount of the individual tax lien(s) purchased includes the amount of tax, delinquent interest (November), advertising and certificate fee.
Three years following the date of Tax Lien Sale, an application for a Treasurer's Deed may be accepted from the tax lien holder if redemption of the lien is not received. The application process ranges from five to six months. All legally interested parties are given a 120-day redemption period to keep their interest in the property. Deed applications involves: remittance of $500.00 deposit to cover fees for advertising, certified mailings, title searches, and miscellaneous legal fees. Click HERE for lien holder procedures for a Treasurer Deed.
Element of Risk
It is important to remember the element of risk involved in the purchase of tax liens. The purchase of tax sale liens of properties under the control of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) and those affected by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) or property owner bankruptcy could possibly result in the loss of interest as could destruction of the property. It is impossible for this office to identify the potential problems in this area. Please conduct your own investigation to reduce the possibility of loss of interest to you.
The Treasurer does not determine taxes.
Frequently asked questions, such as:
How are taxes determined on my property?
Why do I have to pay property taxes?
When should I receive my Property Tax Statement?

The Grandmothers of Endurance
It has been a week since Jack Denness finished his 12th Badwater ultramarathon. His ability to complete this grueling race at age 75 is beyond incredible. Jack isn't alone however when it comes to older athletes who have defied the odds.
Below is a video that tells the story of two grandmothers who double as ultramarathon runners. Barb Macklow (age 76) and Vicki Griffiths (age 67) have both completed 100 mile endurance runs.
Take a look as both women share some of their experiences and philosophies.
Thanks to Andy for sharing the video

What inspiring people. They will inspire lots of runners on my site Runningtips. As I keep saying running is something that anybody can do regardless of their starting level. The human body is an amazing thing and the improvements you will see when someone first starts ruinning are truly mind blowing. These women are at the other end of the scale, they will be well trained to get to this level and at their age must be good at listening to their bodies, they must have excellent diet and training too. Well done girls, keep it up!

Moll Flanders!
'It is true that the original of this story is put into new words' thus Defoe tells us in the Authors Preface that he has re-written the original manuscript delivered to him by Moll. Of course since there was no original manuscript or no real Moll , except for a model for her he might of met while in Newgate prison, Defoe is creating fiction within fiction. This is just one of the many devices Defoe uses to depict Moll to the reader as a real person not just a literary creation. To put it into terms of an artist's canvas on easel, many writers of classic masterworks are say like Monet or Picasso, Defoe's work reminds of Rembrandt. Moll comes to life in these pages and seems to be a person of history instead of fiction. Moll Flanders is the first English novel. Some would point to Robinson Crusoe written three years prior yet the time before and after the Island in 'Crusoe' seems to fit the Tall Tale genre. Moll Flanders is more of what the 'novel' evolves into. Moll is born in Newgate prison. Her mother, a thief, after pleading her belly and delivering Moll into this world is deported to the colonies in America. Moll is passed around even living and travelling with Gypsies for awhile. During her early years she relies on men to keep her afloat because in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries a woman alone had few good options for survival and Moll is nothing if not a survivor. On into middle age Moll turns thief to make ends meet. In one scene she is going to a house fire to see what can be had in the panic and confusion ,since she had luck that way once before, and a maid throws a mattress out of an upper story and it lands on Moll knocking her out. She is horrified later thinking about what if they threw more goods out onto the mattress, Moll reflects she would have been 'inevitably killed; but I was reserved for further afflictions'. Defoe paints in the moral degradation of the thieving life on all involved including Moll. She is caught finally and rises out of Newgate a penitent heading for America where she does turn her back on crime even though Defoe in his preface tells us she only pretends to be penitent and humble. This novel is a favorite of mine and having made my preference known I will be objective as I can under those circumstances and claim Moll Flanders as Defoe's magnum opus.

Interesting plot and style!
This book is the earliest novel that is British that I have read. Though long, it is really intersting. The story line is good, but as well, the style used it really neat. Little things like there are no chapter divisions, and there are quotation marks. It is neat discovering these little things, and seeing how writing style has really evolved.

Animal Cruelty
Sponsored by Rep. Bob Lynn Co-Sponsors: Rep. David Guttenberg, Sen. Berta Gardner |
"An Act relating to cruelty to animals and making failure to care for five or more animals in a single continuous episode a class C felony." Posted: January 21, 2011 : v27-LS0567-A Under current law, each neglected animal constitutes a separate offense, but these offenses are only misdemeanors. I would like the gravity of the charge to reflect the gravity of the situation. As such, HB 179 makes it a Class C felony to criminally neglect five or more animals at the same time. # # #

I have a Ben Lomond growing for its second year in a 15gal container. I planted it deeply and cut it back to about 4" initially (should have cut it to 2"). The first year two buds grew and I got one new shoot from bellow the soil line. This had the plant is very healthy with a nice amount of fruit and gorgeous happy leaves, but it has only sent up one new shoot for a total of four. This is my only edible current, but from what I've read the plant should send up multiple a year. Did I screw everything up by cutting it to 4" instead of 2"? Any thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have found that my black currants have grown far slower than my red, pink and white currants. I've never heard of growing currants in a container must be pretty!. My 'Ben Serak' black currant did not really start sending up new shoots for about two to three years. They are very 'shrub' like now (6 years later) with many stalks. The 'Ben' series of black currants seem to take a bit longer to get a decent crop. I do not think your pruning hurt the shrub. It is establishing its root system. I find my black currants to not like pruning very much. Just my humble opinion. Mrs. g |

Newtown, Aurora and Columbine: Mass shootings, gun hysteria...and MK Ultra?
One woman who called me about the Unruh piece said she's writing a book about Jared Loughner, the Arizona shooter who killed six people and wounded fourteen, including Representative Gabrielle Giffords. She informed me that Loughner, a schizophrenic obsessed with conspiracy theories himself, was also programmed to kill by the MKUltra boogeymen.
The truly sad thing here is that this isn't a new phenomenon. Nearly thirteen years ago, a similar wave of paranoia flowed around the edges of the Columbine investigation. There were rumors of a third shooter, of black helicopters, of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold having been subject to mind control, and so on. None of it had any basis in reality.
That's not to say there weren't government coverups of Columbine. We reported on plenty of them, efforts to hide law enforcement's failure to investigate complaints about Harris a year prior to the attack and to conceal the breakdown in command among the responding forces. But that's not exactly the same thing as a government conspiracy to commit murder. Yet some people would rather believe in a conspiracy than, say, the terrifying commonplace of severe, untreated mental illness.
I attended one meeting of the conspiracy crowd around the time of the first anniversary of Columbine, organized by an MKUltra devotee named Doug Millar, and was told that the government is, yes, actually a private corporation. The account I wrote then, "None Dare Call It Travesty," could have been written to my recent e-mail pal, as proof of my everlasting dupedness:
...The whole loopy story comes down to this: Harris and Klebold, Millar says, were programmed by the United States government, which is really a corporation, to attack their school and kill their classmates and themselves.You ponder this. You ask why the United States government, which is really a corporation, would want to do such a thing.
Millar seems distressed by your naiveté. He answers your question with a question. "Does the government want our guns?" he asks.
You ponder this, too. Angry parents are filing lawsuits against the sheriff's office and various elected officials, claiming that the government failed to protect their kids at Columbine. Yet here is a man saying that the government did exactly what it set out to do, with the kind of ruthless efficiency governments scarcely ever achieve.
You consider the alternatives. On one hand, a scenario of senseless death and horror, a slaughter devised and executed by two adolescents, prompted by nothing more than their own rage and madness. On the other, a government plot concocted by devious men in dark suits, designed to provoke mass hysteria and demands for gun control.
One possibility offers no clear course of action, nothing but grief and loss. The other gives you an enemy to fight against, an enemy right out of a stinkeroo Mel Gibson movie.
Given a choice between horror and absurdity, you begin to see why some people would choose the latter. You begin to see why, in a country afflicted by spectacular eruptions of terror and bloodshed, absurdity might seem attractive, even plausible.

Fair Oak Junior Pupils in German Lessons at Wyvern |
In June, Wyvern's Year 9 Fasttracker students shared some of their language skills by inviting 100 Year 5 pupils from Fair Oak Junior School to Wyvern for a taste of the German language. Wyvern students devised lively ways to keep everyone involved with a dazzling array of flashcards, games, worksheets and other interactive activities such as vocabulary games on pets, colours, clothes, food, numbers, the weather, countries, the alphabet and sport, and everyone participated with enthusiasm and vigour. This has been a link event with one of our main feeder schools that has been running for over 6 years and we are grateful to Catherine Spiers of Fair Oak for visiting with her classes. It was lovely to see the Junior School children's excitement alongside the maturity of our Year 9 students. The confidence with which they ran their sessions may mean we are educating some teachers of the future here….Long may the link with Fair Oak Juniors continue!

May 6, 1953
J. D. Grey
When Wendell Phillips visited Plymouth on one occasion, he stood on that famous Rock. It is said that a citizen of Plymouth approached him and boasted that their town was very fortunate in having the Rock within its borders. Wendell Phillips relied: "This Rock underlies all America, it only cropped out here."
We, the messengers of the churches, are met here in far-famed and nobly hospitable Houston to transact business for the Lord. With paeans of praise and doxologies of joy, we have begun the ninety-sixth session of the Southern Baptist Convention. With gratitude to our gracious Heavenly Father we look back over the road of service this Convention has marched for one hundred and eight years. During these brief but significant days, we shall enjoy the "fellowship of kindred minds" and sing again the songs of Zion. Reports of our agencies and institutions will thrill our hearts. Numerous brethren will inspire us with a fresh insight into the Word of God as they focus our attention upon our blessed Lord. Led by the Spirit of God, we shall survey the past, evaluate the present, and face the future. Blessed by his Presence, we shall understand and feel again the spirit that is the Southern Baptist Convention.
By Dr. Rick Patrick
Senior Pastor
Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church
Hueytown, Alabama
On page 468 of the book By His Grace, For His Glory, Dr. Tom Nettles concludes: Calvinism should still occupy the place of universal adherence in Baptist life. To reject it is not theological progress, but decline, not theological wisdom, but folly; not theological erudition but fragmentation.
In the interest of fairness, I tried to include a Traditionalist quote implying that everyone should universally adhere to the Traditionalist position or else be guilty of theological decline, folly and fragmentation, but I was unable to find any such quote, primarily because there simply are not any to be found.
He has served as Pastor, Church Planter, Strategist (NAMB), Director of Missions, and Associate Executive Director of Evangelism and Church Planting for a State Convention, and now in the 4th quarter of ministry as Minister of Missions.
Have you noticed that some theologians enjoy using the phrase, "On the other hand?"
I like my theologians to be "one-handed" and armed with a straightforward exegesis of the biblical text. I like my theologians to pull out of the text all that is duly and definitely there -- no more and no less.
I have to "hand" it to him; John Calvin had a great theological and philosophical mind. He could pull out of scripture some simple and profound truths. Then he would say, "On the other hand," and the philosophical side of Calvin would bring things out of the blue.
We shall look at Calvin's treatment of the popular and well-loved John 3:16.
Most of us in our forties – what I call the Seinfeld Generation – remember the old Southern Baptist literature, much of which was shallower than an oasis in the midst of the Mohave Desert. The study was topical and usually began and ended with the question, "What does that passage mean to me." For years we have longed for a curriculum that gave an in-depth, exegetical study of Scriptural passages that expounded authorial intent while also attaching a personal and contemporary application. We were tired of the scratch-n-sniff study strategy that had long defined much of Sunday School curriculum inside and outside our Convention.
When The Gospel Project was announced, many in my limited circle, including local pastors and trustees of Truett-McConnell College, began studying the material and giving positive reviews of the lessons. And there is much to be commended. It is quite refreshing to see quotes from theological giants like Martin Luther, the great Reformer who proclaimed once again, "The just shall live by faith." Early Church Fathers are quoted repeatedly, something that makes this church historian very pleased. While these men are not known by many, they should be. Important theological questions engage the mind of the reader such as, "What about those who have never heard the Gospel?"
