50 year old man | Hallandale, FL, USA | Seeking women 30-55 within 50 miles
Bad boy seeks bad girl.
I am an educated professional looking to meet someone to become best friends with, and have a meaningful relationship. I am honest and outgoing with an exceptional sense of humor. Looking for someone who is a non smoker, says what they mean, and means what they say. I enjoy working out, the beach, yoga, and of course I will try anything once. I love to cook and eat healthy, but along with that I enjoy good food, good wine, and great conversation. I am looking for someone who likes to have fun, is honest, be themselves, and let things flow in any direction. As I have gotten older I have learned to compromise and listen to the needs and wants of my partner and I am never afraid to admit that I am wrong. Communication is the key. I try to keep it simple: I want to make you happy, no matter what. If your happy and having fun in the relationship, then it will be fun for me. On the the other hand, if you are not happy and not having fun, then simply put......"you will seek your entertainment elsewhere"....lol So I get it. The title? Just trying to get your attention......I am actually a true gentleman( old school) and know how to treat a lady. I can be bad, no doubt about that, but I am grounded, know when to put the fun down and go back to work. Politically, I am conservative. I could play it safe and say I am "middle of the road " but that would not be telling the truth. Keep in mind I would not let someone's political views get in the way of a friendship or a relationship.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Playing sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Golf, Swimming, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish
, Las Mujeres Mexico, Key West.

Is Obama Harbinger of the AntiChrist?
If old dispensationalists won't die, I wish they would at least fade away.

- James F. McGrath said...
Every time I think I'm done with the messianic and antimessianic interpretations of Obama, something else comes along... :)
- little david said...
Love the comment on old dispensationalists. I was recently in Kenya and, believe me, they don't think he is the antichrist.
- Paul W Gray said...
I think it's more likely that George W Bush is the harbinger of the AntiChrist. Look at the pattern of deceit and propaganda used by his administration, his policy of preemptive war and use of torture, the corruption of Republicans in power, and the way the Christian Right worship him. The morality and ethical leadership of America has been destroyed in the eyes of the world, and our Christian witness as well.

"i think that George W Bush is the harbinger of the AntiChrist..."
in the original post Obama is being referred to as the harbinger of the AntiChrist.
correct me if I sm misunderstanding, but harbinger is generally defined as a person or thing that forshadows or fortells the coming of someone or something. so it doesn't nesessarily have to be that the harbinger is the antichrist, rather they are the usher. perfectly good honourable intentions haven't always had perfect fairytail endings. a harbinger, may be completely unaware that they are the catalyst,
i am rambling...it is nearly 4am past bedtime. just some thoughts anyway
- Cryptoreformer said...
Obama is not the Antichrist nor the Harbinger of the Antichrist. I think Reagan was a harbinger of the Antichrist. He got mainstream churches to reject the Kingdom of God for earthly political power. Then we had George W. Bush, who as another harbinger of the Antichrist, brought 80% of evangelicals into the fold of the kigndom of the Antichrist. Now are getting a relief from this with the common sense election of Barack Obama. The next Repubican may well be the Antichrist, and the right-wing church will buy into it, and bring the torture chambers out into public, then the Tribulation will begin, led by the Southern Baptists and the Pentecostals and the Republican party all under the direction of Satan.

35 year old man | Somerville, MA, USA | Seeking women 18-40 within 50 miles
Romanitc at heart wanting to believe that a good guy can finish first...
Ok, time for a major rewrite here... First things first, yes, I am currently separated and in the process of a divorce, but it is amiable, and the ex moved to TX months ago and is not coming back...at this point it is just a matter of the paperwork catching up to the reality. In other words, this will not be a source of drama. I know there are many ladies here that have selected the "Never Married" preference for their ideal match...but if you are that one great girl I am looking for, please consider this...I think it takes someone who has been wounded in the past to truly appreciate an amazing person when they find one. About me, I'm an officer in the United States Army. I have been deployed to Iraq twice, and now have a few years here in the States. I have an undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and am currently working on a graduate degree at Harvard University. I like to work out, play the piano, and play with my dog. I have a 4 year old daughter in TX, and also volunteer with toddlers at a local homeless shelter. What I am looking for now: I am looking to date, to find someone to get to know and to have a good time. I'm looking for a friend and companion. I'm looking for that girl that can turn my head and make my pulse quicken every time I see her. I'm looking for that person who can make me laugh and whom I see as adorably cute just by being themselves. I take each person on their own merits so there is no specific "type" for which I am looking. I have dated all types. I've had some ladies on here tell me that they were intimidated at first by my "resume"...please be assured that when we are together, all that fades away and it is all about how we interact as two people...I've dated someone too much like myself before and it was a complete disaster. I would really like to find someone with whom to enjoy Boston. What I want eventually: I consider myself an idealist and a romantic...and I want to believe that a nice guy can finish first... I'd like to find someone who likes togetherness, wants to be around their partner, and wants to be active with their partner. I hope to find my best friend and the girl with whom the honeymoon phase never ends...the girl that I will see no differently at 80 than I see her today. I want to be in love again. I don't know exactly how or when it will happen...but something tells me it will be someone with whom I develop a deeper friendship and companionship...and one day we both just look at each other and realize that we are soulmates, and that we have been looking for each other all our lives. I know you are out there, and I look forward to hearing from you.

I'm a CNN junkie, can't miss a Michigan football game, and am always up for a movie (to include "chic-fliks" with the right girl. I like all kinds of music...my ipod has a bit of everything.
I love to do anything from getting all dressed up and going out to making dinner together and watching a movie at home...it is all about the company you are with. I have a cultured side as well and enjoy museums, musical theater, and live music.
Unfortunately most of reading lately has been for school...the last thing I read for enjoyment was "Franklin & Lucy"...a book about the women in Franklin D. Roosevelt's life and how they shaped him.

Are incentivized prize competitions a good way to drive innovation?
Companies like GE with its ecomagination challenge and organizations like X Prize put up dollars for innovators through competitions. Is this a good replacement for the decline of corproate and government R&D centers?
Jul 15 2011: I think yes, because most of the innovations comes from long during researches, and also not everybody has the resources (time, money nor infrastructure).Jul 15 2011: dead or alive. bounty was a way of private law enforcement for an age when we lacked the resources to have an ever watching police.
why not adopt this policy for RnD? states and big corporations failed to be effective. offer money for those that deliver!

Eleven years ago Woodrell returned for good to his birthplace, which is within spitting distance of the Arkansas state line. He and his wife, novelist Katie Estill, bought a house near the historic town square for $26,000 the equivalent of about a year-and-a-half's rent at their previous residence in San Francisco.
Their century-old home was once surrounded on both sides by meth dealers, says Woodrell, a sturdy, balding man with an oversize goatee. "I knew the one guy on the one side of me, all jail-tattooed and everything. I talked to him a lot. We had beers and stuff. The other guy was fucking scum. Used to beat the shit out of his wife and everything."
Other than growing and/or manufacturing dope, there's not much decent-paying work available in these parts, not since the stockyards and shoe and cheese factories closed years back. The poverty rate in surrounding Howell County is 50 percent higher than in the rest of Missouri.
It's more than a cheap mortgage that endears the Ozarks to the 53-year-old writer, a man who, the West Plains Daily Quill recently noted, "has wrote eight novels." After years of laboring in relative obscurity, Woodrell has achieved literary acclaim with the vivid, scorching prose he renders about a region he knows so intimately.
The Independent in London recently hailed Woodrell as "one of the best-kept secrets in American literature ." The Philadelphia Inquirer called him "one of the most acclaimed novelists in America."
The Ozarks' hills and hollers have clearly emerged as Woodrell's harsh fictional world, and his name is as closely tied to the locale as Saul Bellow's was to Chicago, William Faulkner's to Mississippi and John Steinbeck's to California's Salinas Valley.
One finds in Woodrell's writing his fascination with the Ozarks, its desperados and their desperate landscape. This, from his 1996 novel, Give Us a Kiss: "A hundred miles south or so I cut east and rolled into the Ozarks region, which is the perfect flip side to a metroplex. It's all meadows and hills, trees and red, rocky dirt. The houses show signs of having been built by different generations with different notions of architecture, but all run together to make single rambling homes where the different wings appear almost to have been built as refutations of previous wings. You start seeing chickens in the yards and huge gardens and swing chairs on porches and various vehicles that have rusted so successfully into the landscape as to appear indigenous."
With roots here dating back to the Civil War, Woodrell plucks his desolate characters from family albums, feeding them navy beans with hambone over cornbread, learning 'em to kill and skin up a squirrel, just like his old granddaddy taught him.
Woodrell assiduously avoids the literary circuit and remains largely anonymous in town, although some folks did congratulate him when his book, Woe to Live On, became a film in 1999, the Ang Lee-directed Ride with the Devil. For years he never mentioned he went to college. That's because, says Woodrell, affecting a hillbilly twang, "People would immediately say, 'Well, Professor...' Then I realized I'm tired of doing that. If they can't hack it that I went to college, then too freaking bad."
Eschewing cell phones, Woodrell deliberately makes himself difficult to reach. He spends his mornings at the keyboard before a window frame lined with photos of his literary inspirations James Agee, Derek Walcott and Yasunari Kawabata. In the afternoons he takes long walks around town, his preferred form of exercise now that he stopped going to the local gym, where weightlifters played the head-banging music too loud. Afternoons might find him home sipping tea with his wife as the pair discuss their latest works.
Woodrell's literary renown peaked with the August publication of Winter's Bone, his most lavishly praised book to date. Australia's Canberra Times called it "as beautiful and harsh as an Appalachian folk song."
Its unforgettable heroine is Ree Dolly, "brunette and 16, with milk skin and abrupt green eyes." She's been left in charge of her two younger brothers by a prescription-pill-addled mother and a daddy who has skipped bail on charges of running a crystal-meth lab. If he doesn't show up for his court date, the Dollys will lose their house.
Jessup, her papa, is a volcanic soul, a "broken-faced, furtive man," writes Woodrell, "given to uttering quick pleading promises that made it easier for him to walk out the door and be gone, or come back inside and be forgiven."
To find her fugitive father, the indomitable Ree solicits help from her disparate family, some with names like Thump Milton and Uncle Teardrop. It is an inbred clan of gun-toting, drug-using miscreants who hold deep-seated grudges against anyone wearing a badge.

ST. MARYS – A St. Marys man was waived for court Tuesday by Magisterial District Judge Mark Jacob on multiple felony counts of child pornography.
Ronald Gregory Dill, 58, of 207 N. St. Marys St., Apt. 1, was arrested on March 7 following a three-month investigation by agents in the Office of Attorney General's Child Predator Section. According to the charges, Dill was found to be in possession of more than 30 video files depicting child pornography on his laptop computer.
The Elk County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday reviewed their new policies regarding the sale of properties from the repository.
Repository properties are available for the general public to purchase free and clear of any liens. Interested parties must place a bid with the bureau for the property and then all three taxing bodies (the local municipality, the local school board, and the county commissioners), must approve the bid for all the property to be sold. There is no minimum bid required for repository properties, according to documentation obtained from the county's Tax Claims office.
JAY TWP. – Multiple fire departments responded Tuesday evening for a report of a structure fire at Rose's Hilltop Diner located at 24716 Bennetts Valley Highway.
JOHNSONBURG – During the regular meeting of the Johnsonburg Borough Council, Cindy Chiesa of the Johnsonburg Community Trust petitioned the council for permission to spruce up the area around the borough parking lot, located along Center Street.
Among the things the Trust has in mind are old-fashioned poles which would be adorned with hanging baskets or banners as well as some large planters to be placed in the area.
"We just want to beautify the town; I think that's the main thing we want to do," Chiesa said.
A Ridgway resident is charged with a felony count of aggravated assault for an incident that allegedly occurred at Kwik Fill on South St. Marys Street Friday afternoon.
A Kersey woman is charged with assaulting a man with a Nintendo GameCube Friday evening.

Seacoast Repertory Theatre to Screen WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER, 8/27
Seacoast Repertory Theatre is proud to announce that Let's "B" Reel: Cult Classic Films at The Rep will screen Wet Hot American Summer August 27that 7:30PM. In addition to the screening of the cult comedy, Let's "B" Reel will have its first ever "Quote-A-Long" encouraging audience members to raise their voices and quote along in time with the film.
"Most people end up being very vocal for our screenings..." says Knate Higgins, director of the now award winning Let's "B" Reel/Red Light series. "We wanted to give people the opportunity to really have fun with this film, so we will encourage those who know the lines to shout them out. I love this film so much and it's just so quotable! It's a perfect way to end the summer film series". Also, in true Let's "B" Reel fashion, the audience is also encouraged to dress up in their best short shorts and tube socks for Let's "B" Reel's first ever "Short Shorts Contest" mimicking the fashion of the film. A few other surprises might pop up for the screening as well...
Wet Hot American Summer is a star studded cult comedy that features the work of comedic sketch comedy writers Michael Showalter, Michael Ian-Black and David Wain. The film follows a group of camp counselor's misadventures on their last day of sleep away camp in northern Maine in the early 80's. Full of non-sequitur humor, hilarious montages, musical numbers and unrequited love, Wet Hot American Summer will make even The First Time viewer belly laugh. With such stars as Janine Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Molly Shannon and Paul Rudd, the film was a sleeper hit that reached a unique audience after its initial release. The film is known for its truly gut busting one-liners, which works to the advantage of this particular screening.
Wet Hot American Summer will be screened Wed. Aug. 27th, 2014 at 7:30pm at Seacoast Repertory Theatre. Lobby and Bar open at 6:30pm. Pre-show will begin promptly at 7:30pm. All tickets day of show are Pay What You Can and are general admission. $10 in advance. Seating is limited and due to high demand, advance purchase is recommended.

Fortunately, some of the other nefarious goals have not come to pass. We still are able to use whatever device we want to connect to the internet and are not limited to a walled garden. We also can transfer media files between (most) devices without needing a license for each device. And encryption capabilities are easier to implement and for the most part protect our privacy instead of protecting the software companies' "intellectual property." We definitely owe a debt of gratitude to groups like the EFF and Free Software Foundation for standing up to the lobbyists that pushed the trusted computing platform.

Comment: Re:Zenoss is awesome - Zenoss Core + OpenVPN (Score 1) 137 137
OP - For what it's worth, any open source monitoring software should play just fine with OpenVPN. However, the monitoring feature set should be simplified into a single interface, you don't want to have to be fixing scripts and maintaining the software all the time.
I actually used to deploy OpenVPN + Zenoss for remote site monitoring. In my case I needed to monitor multiple systems at the customer premises (using Zenoss Enterprise/Service Dynamics for the remote collector integration), but you should have it a bit easier since you only have one server to monitor. I found configuring OpenVPN to be a bit of a challenge, but once that part was done the rest was a piece of cake. It will be a lot of work with the sheer volume of 500 clients (with that amount of traffic you might even need to break it into two OpenVPN endpoints) but I'm sure you are already aware of that.
I would say definitely take a closer look at Zenoss Core. A side note, Zenoss Service Dynamics is their enterprise product with advance features, but for you the "technology stack" needs only to consist of Zenoss Core (free) + OpenVPN. Set up OpenVPN as you described so that the clients deployed on your remote servers can connect back through https - as long as they have an internet connection no holes need to be poked through your customer's firewalls. Drop Zenoss on the OpenVPN endpoint box(s). Then use the OpenVPN IPs to monitor the servers. For each individual server, configure the SNMP string if Linux, or set up WMI if windows (no need to configure traps, Zenoss polls the boxes at specific intervals). Use the wizard on the Zenoss web interface to add the host and model it. Away you go, you can now see the events in the Zenoss console for everything from ping status to CPU utilization. Events go to the console which you can monitor, or you can easily set up e-mail alerts to trigger. For example, say one of the disks throws a SMART error; trigger an e-mail you so you can ship the customer a new disk to install just like NetApp does.
As I mentioned, you can definitely use Zabbix or some other variant to do the monitoring part. I researched and played with many monitoring solutions (commercial and free) before I settled on Zenoss. What made the difference for me was that I found I was spending way too much time learning the quirks of the software (e.g. Nagios - config file to add a client, really! SolarWinds - Agent installation required, really!) and not enough time actually deploying monitoring to the targets. Good luck, hopefully this info helps you find the right fit for your environment!

The first of the three films, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), is also the best, a certified classic loaded with non-stop action, grand spectacle, a hero for the ages (played by Harrison Ford), a beautiful love interest, humor, horror, and a potent storyline that brings together a profound religious-archaeological icon (the Ark of the Covenant, nothing less than "a radio for speaking to God") and the 20th centurys most infamous villains (the Nazis). Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), the second entry, is generally considered the weakest of the lot--certainly it is the most dark and disturbing--but its still very entertaining, while The Last Crusade (1989) is closer to Raiders in many respects, with fine acting contributions from River Phoenix (as the teenage Indy) and Sean Connery (as Indys father), a strong James Bond-type feel, and the return of the Nazis, who this time are competing for another antiquity of incalculable value and significance (the Holy Grail). Although the collection is missing the extra bonus disc (with a two-hour "making of" documentary) that accompanied the 2003 DVD issue of the films, all three discs include new and insightful introductions by Spielberg and Lucas; there are also storyboards from various scenes and photo galleries on each disc. Among the best of the other features are "The Creepy Crawlies" (about the thousands of snakes, bugs, rats and other scary critters that populate the trilogy), "Travels with Indy" (a look at some of the exotic locations where the movies were filmed), "Indys Women" (a candid discussion with leading ladies Karen Allen, Kate Capshaw, and Alison Doody), and a behind-the-scenes detailing of the "melting face" effect seen in Raiders' thrilling ark-opening scene. --Sam Graham

We arrived in this Andalusian village on the last day of Spain's 12-day Christmas celebration to find a band and costumed marchers celebrating Three Kings' Day in the main square.
A man launched a skyrocket from his hand as the kings themselves, actually a trio of local farmers, emerged from the church. Two wore wigs of flowing curls, the third was in black face. Each mounted a wooden trailer towed behind a tractor, and the procession waltzed through the center of Pitres, with the kings tossing candy to children. Like everyone else in town, we followed along and were welcomed with smiles and a shower of confetti.
This was our introduction to the Alpujarras, a friendly region of tiny whitewashed villages that has enchanted travelers for centuries. After a frenetic week spent touring some of Andalusia's great cities, our group of four travelers had come here seeking the quiet of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
On its way from the Sierra to the Mediterranean, the trickle of melting snow has chiseled deep gorges into the southern flanks of Spain's highest mountains. It's a place of broad vistas and country hospitality, of villages rising improbably from the near-vertical landscape, and well-trodden footpaths winding through pastures, olive groves and orchards.
Glimpsing Africa in Distance
The high places offer views of the sparkling Mediterranean 30 miles away. Beyond is the shadowy skyline of Morocco's Rif Mountains.
This glimpse from Europe into Africa isn't unique in Andalusia. But perhaps nowhere else is the connection with the Islamic past more evident. Four centuries ago, this was the last stronghold of the Moors in Europe, and many of the high, quiet villages still feel exotic.
We had arranged a house rental in Mecinilla, which, along with Pitres and five other villages, is part of La Taha, a district dating to Moorish times.
Mecinilla is connected to its larger neighbor, Mecina, with which it shares a church near a grove of almond trees. The flat, white houses piled atop each other spill down the mountainside like patches of old snow. Steep, narrow lanes wind through the village. Flowering vines billow from balconies and climb the whitewashed buildings. The streets are too narrow for cars, so we parked on the outskirts of town and walked to our home for the week, Casa Berenjena. Its owner, Simon Wix, an affable Englishman, and his wife vacationed in the Alpujarras for years before settling here.
A Casa With a View
Casa Berenjena is a maze, with three bedrooms, a living room, dining room and study, each with a low-hanging ceiling constructed of roughhewn beams and slate. Its spacious country kitchen was once used as a cooking school by a French chef. The wood stoves and fireplaces are the only reliable source of heat. The back door opens onto a stone patio perched a thousand feet above the valley. All this for $60 a night.
Using a homemade guidebook from the owners, we explored paths along old stone walls, through the mottled sunlight of orchards and olive groves, and past fields lying fallow for winter. Here and there we heard goats bleating, their bells jingling.
Every village offered a communal fountain — many decorated with cheerfully painted tiles — spouting pure mountain spring water for our water bottles. One fountain tapped a naturally carbonated spring, its water gently fizzed.


text: Latin pop/rock band Grito was formed in New Jersey by the end of 1993 by two brothers who were previously playing in different projects in Florida and New York. Known by their nicknames of Felix and Gio, these two young musicians decided to start up a new band to be part of the growing rock en español local scene. Soon after, Cuban-American Russ was invited and Ecuadorian David Pérez came as the best player in the auditioning process. The lineup was completed when Latin percussionist Celcio joined in. Grito started as an opening act for bands such as heavy metal Héroes del Silencio, Argentinean Miguel Mateos, and Chilean los Tres. In 1996, Grito participated at a Latin rock festival called Wateke, playing along with la Ley, la Castañeda, and Shakira. That same year, the band issued Paraíso del Eden, followed by Grito in 1999. ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi

Crash factors: altitude, weather
Helicopter wreck on Jan. 16 killed 3 crew members
Navy investigators have determined that a helicopter crew became disoriented while flying too low when they crashed near Petronila in January.
The term used by investigators in describing the crash that killed three airmen and injured the pilot was "loss of situational awareness."
The MH-53E Sea Dragon anti-mine helicopter from Naval Air Station Corpus Christi crashed at about 8:06 p.m. on Jan. 16 into a communications transmissions tower owned by KEDT-TV. The incident occurred near a landfill on Farm-to-Market Road 2444 and County Road 20 on a plowed, unplanted field.
Cloud cover was deemed a major contributor in the crash and the potential cause for the crew's loss of direction was cited as misinterpretation of the aircraft's navigation data, according to an investigation report obtained by the Caller-Times through the Freedom of Information Act.
Killed in the crash were co-pilot Lt. Joshua Gross, 30, of New York; aircrewman Petty Officer 2nd Class Alexander LeMarr, 25, of Colorado; and Petty Officer 2nd Class David Davison, 22, of Oklahoma.
Injured was pilot Lt. Cmdr. Howard B. Fabacher, 36. Fabacher has not been released medically and has not returned to flight status, said Lt. j.g. Sean Snyder, a legal officer with the station's HM-15 Blackhawk squadron.
The crew was fully qualified to perform their duties and were neither intoxicated nor medicated at the time of the crash, the report stated. Their mission was to conduct night training and perform familiarization work, such as touch-and-go's.
The crew originally was scheduled to leave the Corpus Christi base at 7:45 p.m. that Wednesday, but received permission to begin training at 6:25 p.m.
They also received permission to have 20,000 pounds of fuel instead of the original 18,000 pounds, which would have given them about 30 extra minutes of fuel, said Lt. j.g. Tyson Silengo, a squadron spokesman. The request and permission were not unusual, he added.
Another change was to the flight route.
The crew was scheduled to depart the base toward Alice International Airport, then to Victoria Regional Airport where the crew would perform approaches, or touch-and-go's, before flying to T.P. McCampbell Airport in Aransas Pass. They were to conduct more approaches before heading back to base by 10:45 p.m.
At about 6:30 p.m., the crew amended the route because of weather, based on radio communication. The aircraft would go to McCampbell Airport first.
Before the crash, the crew radioed that they were 16 miles south of Corpus Christi International Airport, though they were seven miles south of it. The idea that they were nine miles farther south, led crew members to believe they were clear of the broadcast tower and in no danger.
The helicopter hit the 1,000-foot tower about 50 feet from the top, causing the Sea Dragon to break up with the tail section separating from the body of the aircraft, which ignited. The estimated cost of the aircraft and all items aboard was $41 million.
In the aftermath, the investigators recommended that training include various situations in which the navigational data can be misrepresented and lead to loss of situational awareness.

Re: Odds in Ward 7
posted at 6/11/2011 3:26 PM EDTWalkDon'tTrip---I hope he takes 100% of the Vote;
Still have not decided to run and again it might be a quiet campaign
I have to listen to my Advisor that i hired today. This Person is very
well known the Political Arena and knows how to fight any negative
problems and already has some counter points if my opponent has a
negitive campaign. Let the campaign run on issues facing residents
of Malden. Lets start off by having an open Debate with questions from the residents. Tell Councilor Anderson I meet him anywhere any
time for a debate on Issues.
Re: Odds in Ward 7
posted at 6/11/2011 4:58 PM EDTFrank I am going to give you real advice.First off you can fight over grants, but you cannot let that be your foundation.Second, you cannot make it all about the bags. Last election, maybe you could have. But people are forgetting about the bags. Well a certain percentage are. To recycle is good. But it was passed in a dirty way. Maybe you can use that.Your main thing is grants. But because you are not a grant writer, and have limited knowledge in it, you would want to say..."I will do my best to work with the other councillors and find any money in grants to help this city during these hard times."You cannot come out and say "They are all dumb they do not know about grants only I do." Because the truth is, you do not know all about grants. A grant is more then a few pages you see and read online. Most the time in a few hundred pages. Grants online will only show you the good things.You have to make it look like you are willing to work with the other 10 to find fund. Do not attack them or you will end up like Fallon.Find a sound platform.Have proof of your education and programs you have been in the past.Do not make enemies with others in city hall.That's my advice for you. Don't take this as an attack. Read it close. I gave you a bit of help and some ideas. I'm no spring chicken when it comes to campaigns.
Re: Odds in Ward 7

First---Thank You for the Advice and it was sound, I am
not a grant writer and do not understand what they do or how they
do what they do. But my point working with other politicians it seem
they listen to the citizens and made them part of the conversation and decisions, which these City Councilors and the mayor do not do or hear what the citizens have to say.
I promise to open up the Budget to every citizen showing how every
dollar is spent in this city.
Second It seemed that other cities have received millions of dollars because they have Grant Writers or have access to these type people which this city does not know how to do which cost this city
in funding. ( Street and sidewalk repair, street sweeping signs, parking program that is cost efficient for it's citizens)
Third--My next issue will be Public Safety--More Police and better
equipment for them, Firefighters again settle the contract than push
for the Safer grant and federal Funding for a new FireStation and
modern equipment and put firefighters back to work immediately;
Fourth--Work with Businesses for summer program for students,
Fifth--Work with Chamber of Commerce to find money to hire a
Public Relations Person to sell this city and bring big Business and
Stores back into this city;
Sixth---Make every Council Meeting and committee Minutes available
to all citizens in our local media and on all types of Systems, Cable,
Dish, Internet and printed media--publish every vote and how each
Councilor voted.
Seventh--Be available to Residents in Ward 7 every day and put out
anything of importance that happens in the city and in the Ward
in a daily/weekly newsletter;
eight---Set up a committe with Councilors and citizens on a better
way our Trash is collected.
How that for a start of a Platform;
Re: Odds in Ward 7
posted at 6/11/2011 6:30 PM EDTWalk: Count me in that certain percentage who have not forgotten about the bags. I think about this stupid program every day, every time I am tossing something into the trash: which bin do I toss this item into? I think about it every week when we have to go look for a blue bag or have to decide how to get rid of something (like a sock with a hole in it?). This trash tax has put an unecessary burden on my life. I don't mind recycling and am a pro at it now but I think it is ridiculous and could be more of a money maker for the city if it had been properly set up. Your friends at the DPW and administration would love to think people don't care about it anymore. Believe me when I tell you, I am not alone. We stopped collecting signatures at 10,000ish and got many voters out on an off year without a Mayoral or Presidential election who still live here. We're still out there waiting to change from the same old network.
Re: Odds in Ward 7
posted at 6/11/2011 7:54 PM EDTAnnieOMalden---I gave a way to change the program also I made a Platform statement----Again Other Cities are looking into these mintx
bags because what they are suppose to do when they are put out.
Also the Price is Cheaper and there are 3 different sizes available,
again why not put the petition back on the ballot still have time.
Please tell me what you think of my Platform.
Re: Odds in Ward 7
posted at 6/12/2011 6:30 PM EDTAnnie the fire to fight the trash bags is dimming out. I am against them and the only way you can start the fire up is if they raise the prices. I think the program stinks. You have a foot tall recycle bin and after every trash day the streets are a mess.
We need to get a program like they have in everett. Big barrels or nothing at all. No bags. No mintx bags. Nothing. 50 bucks a barrel and they need to be in good shape. If not go buy another. Stickers on barrels will not work. Closed barrels will.
But the 10,000 people will not count if they dont come out to the polls 2 years later. We won that fight. Everyone knows it. But the % of voters excuse is one we will not forget.
Re: Odds in Ward 7
posted at 6/12/2011 6:33 PM EDTDriver the Safer grant is good. But at times grants can hurt the city in the long run. Safer grant can help us, but in 3 years we will have to lay off people again.
The city has writers. Always have. But we need a full time one. Not a college student. They can help. But we need someone who is hired to seek this money.
Re: Odds in Ward 7

WalkDon'tTrip---Hpw the safer Grant explain at the end or close to the end of the 3 Years the city can reapply for it again, maybe i am
wrong hope not, A Professional Wrier is needed and also a part time
one but it also needs a person out there selling the good points of the city it is called a Public Relations department. The MRA is not
the Department to do this Job or it does not have the professional
people to do such work. Finally to get this city fixed Grants can do
it, instead of bonding which increases taxes on all residents;
Certain Members and The mayor is bonding this city away putting it into debt it will be paying off for years to come.
Re: Odds in Ward 7
posted at 6/13/2011 1:16 PM EDTI have to agree with your view on bonding.
I cant agree with the Safer Grant view.
Re: Odds in Ward 7
posted at 6/13/2011 1:21 PM EDTWalkDontTrip---I talked to firefighters in other cities and say it is a
Grant that works because it gives the city 3 years to help build the

You did bring up valid points. 300 is alot!!! I think they need to change that to at least 100.
Times are off. They need to change that.
I think the program is great, but it might fail without enforcement.
I think the stickers are just a to catch people not paying the tax. So just keep it as that and do not sugar coat theother reason.

Jessie Dotson gets death penalty for Lester Street murders
As a state prosecutor finished his impassioned plea for the jury to return the death penalty Tuesday against convicted mass murderer Jessie Dotson, the defendant clapped his hands softly in mock applause.
His attorneys said Dotson was not surprised when the Criminal Court jury later sentenced him to death six times, once for each of the 2008 murders on Lester Street. Their guilty verdict in 90 minutes the previous day sent a clear message, the attorneys said.
"He was disappointed, but not surprised," said lead defense attorney Gerald Skahan. "When the jury came back with the quick guilty verdict, he knew (the death penalty) was probably a foregone conclusion."
Judge James Beasley Jr. set Dotson's execution date for March 2, 2012, four years to the day when the six men, women and children were shot and stabbed to death.
"May God have mercy on your soul," the judge said as Dotson was led away by officers.
The nine women and three men of the jury — chosen in Nashville and sequestered in Memphis — deliberated less than two hours before agreeing on the sentences. Defense attorneys had asked for life in prison without parole.
Automatic appeals will continue for years, however, making the execution date mostly a legal formality.
Dotson, 35, was convicted in the worst mass-murder case in the city's history.
"He's a convicted killer out of prison just five months and he kills six people, including two children," state prosecutor Ray Lepone told jurors in asking for the death penalty. "If not this case, what case? If not that defendant, what defendant gets the death penalty?
"The children were chased down and carved up with kitchen knives. ... You know those (two) women were begging for their lives. And now Jessie's begging for his?"
Across the courtroom, Dotson shook his head no and moments later mockingly applauded as Lepone took a seat. For the afternoon part of the sentencing hearing, Dotson changed from street clothes back to jail clothes that revealed forearms heavily tattooed with playing cards, dice and other designs.
Earlier in the hearing, two jurors wiped tears from their eyes as they viewed photos of the young children who had been beaten and stabbed to death at the house.
Dotson, 35, was convicted of killing his brother and another man, two women and two children on March 2, 2008, at 722 Lester. He told police and his mother that he killed his brother during an argument and then began eliminating witnesses.
He also was convicted of three counts of attempted first-degree murder for beating and stabbing three other children, including two who told jurors that he — their Uncle Junior — was the lone attacker.
Jurors returned the death penalties after finding aggravating circumstances — aspects that increase the enormity of a crime — for each victim. At least one such circumstance is required in each case when prosecutors seek the death penalty:
Cecil Dotson, 30: Jessie Dotson had a prior second-degree murder conviction and he posed a great risk of death to two or more others when he killed Cecil.
Marissa Williams, 27: Same as above. Also, the murder was committed to eliminate her as a witness, and the defendant committed mass murder of three or more people within a 48-month period.
Hollis Seals, 33: Same as above.
Shindri Roberson, 22: Same as above.
Cecil Dotson II, 2: Same as above. Also, the victim was less than 13 years old and the murder was heinous, atrocious and cruel, and involved abuse well beyond that necessary to cause death.
Cemario Dotson, 4: Same as above.
The children were repeatedly stabbed and beaten with boards.
Prosecutors Reginald Henderson and Damon Griffin noted that Dotson's calm courtroom demeanor during most of the 14-day trial dissolved into anger when he testified on cross-examination Saturday.
"I think we saw the real Jessie on Saturday," said Griffin. "You saw some anger and some rage. That was the real Jessie. He couldn't hold it in."
For the defense, mitigation expert Glori Shettles told jurors that Dotson came from a broken family that moved frequently, was a disciplinary problem at home and at school, was an eighth-grade dropout and was 19 when he went to prison for 14 years for killing a man.
"There was a lot of movement, a lot of instability," said Shettles, who works for Inquisitor Inc. "He repeated the fourth grade twice, not because his grades were bad, but because he missed so much school. ... There was an absence of a stable home life. That was very important."
She said that during his 14 years in prison, he had one family visit and a few phone calls.
Beasley set a Nov. 12 sentencing date for Dotson's three attempted first-degree murder convictions involving the children — ages 9 years, 5 years and 2 months at the time of the crimes — who survived their stabbings.
Dotson will be the 88th inmate on Tennessee's death row and the 34th from Shelby County, which has by far more than any other county in the state.
