A blog for those interested in what affects, motivates and drives the New York City Nonprofit Sector — written by CRE's crackerjack consulting team. We hope you use this space to share your thoughts, ask questions and engage in conversations about our city, social justice and the nonprofit sector.
By Holly Delany Cole
…are nonprofit organizations. The language about social entrepreneurship has become code for the way to 'do anything good at scale' at least since the late 1980's. It's a big tent these days. Social entrepreneurs today are finding their footing in the B corporations they have formed, at hedge funds whose principals make strategic investments in nonprofits, at 'for difference' organizations, and at government agencies that are partnering with the private sector to establish social impact bond initiatives. All of these moves in my mind have value. But a reminder to us all: nonprofit organizations have been the vehicles through which enormous social good has been generated and important social change engendered for more than a century. ..

By Louisa Hackett - What makes an organization effective? Sure strong managers, high performing staff, visionary leaders, sufficient resources and up-to-date technology all play a part. But a critical element, maybe the most critical, is clarity of purpose. Without knowing fundamentally what an organization is striving to accomplish and for whom, the chance to have the most effective programs is lost and muddled, diffuse programming can follow. ..

By Pamela Dicent - The Far Rockaway/Arverne Nonprofit Coalition was created nearly three years ago by a core group of nonprofit service providers that recognized the value of coming together to address common issues in the Rockaways, particularly around engaging and developing young people on the Peninsula. From the very start of CRE's involvement as facilitator, it was clear that this was a new kind of collaboration in town – one that has already fulfilled its promise of strengthening the network of nonprofit organizations. ..

By Jeff Ballow, Senior Consultant - Is training more valuable for participants when you bring the training experience to their communities? This is one question that has emerged during the last year as part of our Neighborhood Based Capacity-Building Initiative funded by the New York Community Trust. So far we've taken this mountain-to-Mohammed approach to management development in East New York in Brooklyn and Far Rockaway in Queens, and in early May we launched a similar training series in the High Bridge section of the Bronx. Here's what we have learned so far: ..

By Valyrie Laedlein, CRE Co-Director - Nonprofit leaders are hard-wired for accountability.
The tax-exempt sector was structured to assure accountability to the public since its very beginning. Nearly all the leaders whom CRE has had the privilege to work with drive themselves to be sure they are doing right by their communities. And in this moment of terribly constrained resources, all of us are conscious of how important it is that we make every dollar matter in terms of its rightful and effective use. ..

By Barbara Turk, Senior Fellow – CRE has been visiting our clients in areas most affected by the Storm to understand their immediate and long-term needs, and to start the process of helping these community-based organizations recover. Since last week, I have made three visits to Far Rockaway and Arverne, Queens. CRE has been fostering the formation and development of the Far Rockaway/Arverne Nonprofit Coalition for nearly two years. ..

By Mohan Sikka, Managing Director - Corporations – including nonprofit organizations – are not people, as the Supreme Court seems to believe. But they are made up of people: boards, leaders, staff teams, volunteers, clients. In all aspects of leadership, management and operations, these people have to deal with each other, quirks and all. What gets overlooked sometimes by managers is that they, not a strategic plan or a tracking form, have to be agents of change and accountability. In other words, there's no getting around the reality that relationships are key to management success, and that what we think, feel, say and do, our presence as human beings, and how we communicate and relate, are the primary tools we have to organize, motivate, and influence others. ..
Thursday, November 01, 2012
By Louisa Hackett, Senior Managing Director - When talking about getting people to vote, I've frequently heard – "Why bother? People only pay attention to this every four years." It's true the frenzy dies down after the Presidential election and voter engagement issues diminish, but the reality is local, state and national elections happen way more often then every four years. A year from now New York City will be voting for a new Mayor, and a year after that we will have mid-term elections for seats to the House and Senate. These regularly occurring elections require more -- not less -- civic engagement. ..

By Rashid Littlejohn, Program Assistant/Public Ally - My name is Rashid Littlejohn, a Public Allies Fellow and Program Assistant for Community Resource Exchange (CRE). Public Allies is a nonprofit organization that develops new leaders who are focused on strengthening communities, by partnering us with other nonprofit organizations advocating for social change. I started a nonprofit social justice and environmental leadership group called GCAMP (Genuinely Care About My Planet) in mid-2010 in Brooklyn, NY, which led me to Public Allies. Partnered with CRE for the next ten months, I'll learn more about the nonprofit sector as Program Assistant and will also blog about some experiences at CRE. This first post, "The Broken Machine," is a reflection of my first two weeks with CRE. ..
Tuesday, October 02, 2012
By Louisa Hackett, Senior Managing Director - Community Resource Exchange is joining hundreds of other nonprofits across the country to promote National Voter Registration Day on September 25th. We support nonprofit civic engagement activities because we believe participating in our democracy furthers our mission of fighting poverty and advancing social justice. ..

The aim of the Breaking the Pain Class held recently at Aultman North is to teach people how to deal with chronic pain, said Maribeth Curry, program director for the Northeast Ohio office of the Arthritis Foundation.
Gin-soaked raisins cure arthritis symptoms.
Persistent myth, said Mary Bird, Stark County program director for the Arthritis Foundation.
"Raisins have some anti-inflammatory properties. And the gin — perhaps that dulls the pain," she said, smiling. "It was mentioned once by Paul Harvey, and we still hear this all the time."
Bird addressed common myths as well as new science on arthritis during the class, "Breaking the Pain Chain," held recently at Aultman North.
Despite rumors, Bird said there is no scientific proof that eliminating nightshade plants (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant) helps arthritis sufferers, but studies indicate the Mediterranean diet has shown some "modest positive effect." Other research, including work with cartilage transplantation, is also encouraging.
"I was at NEOMED recently. There is research going on there on the benefits of green tea for arthritis sufferers. Green tea and pomegranates," Bird said. "Fascinating, and right in our backyard. It's just getting started, but I'm very hopeful. "
Hope is key for arthritis sufferers, said Amy Chambers, who co-taught the class with Bird.
"I've tried so many things. You just want to believe so bad that something will work," said Chambers, a nurse at Aultman Hospital who has psoriatic arthritis. "There are a lot of myths out there, but a lot of hope too. You have to keep hope."
LuAnn Getz, of Tuslaw, said one of the most beneficial aspects of taking the class was a chance to share with people who understood her pain.
"It was nice to have an open forum like this to ask questions, get advice," Getz said. "I learned more about my medicine, like when to take it. I'd been taking it at night and it's supposed to be the morning. I've learned a lot."
The aim of the class is to teach people how to deal with chronic pain, said Maribeth Curry, program director for the Northeast Ohio office of the Arthritis Foundation.
"People tend to feel chronic pain is something they just have to live with if they don't want to take medication," she said.
Medicine is "just one menu option," Curry said.
"We help develop a personal pain management plan, which may include exercise, stress management, medication, nutrition and so on," Curry said. "Pain is very personalized, so treatments are very personalized as well."
The class was developed in Ohio, where the incidence of arthritis is significantly higher than the national average of 20 percent.
"In Ohio, it's worse. Our incidence is 31 percent," Curry said. "It could be because we have an aging population. Could be because we are physically inactive. And we tend toward being obese."
Techniques taught in the class include keeping a pain journal, exercising to decrease stiffness, adding plant-based foods and omega-3 to the diet to reduce inflammation, and of course, losing weight.
Page 2 of 2 - "I know it's hard," said Chambers. "You're down, you're hurting and now you can't have your favorite treats? But losing weight is an effective way to reduce arthritis pain."
Bird added that keeping your weight low increases the chance you won't get osteoarthritis in the first place.
'"Being just 10 pounds overweight increases your risk of getting osteoarthritis in your knees by 50 percent," Bird said.
Recommended exercises for arthritis sufferers include walking, swimming, yoga and tai chi.
Who has it?
Fifty million American have arthritis. That's 1 in 5, or 20 percent.
In Ohio, it's significantly higher — about 31 percent.
Two-thirds of those with arthritis are under the age of 65, and 300,000 are children.
What is it?
There are more than 100 different forms of arthritis, the most common of which is osteoarthritis. It also includes gout, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, lyme disease and myositis.
Where can I find more information?
How can I sign up for Breaking the Pain Chain class?
Call the Arthritis Foundation answer line at 800-245-2275 ext. 6416. Volunteers will tell you about classes in your area, put you on a waiting list, or refer you to local sources for assistance.

Listening to the new Animals as Leaders right now. Pretty damn good.
Type: Posts; User: yahmez88
Listening to the new Animals as Leaders right now. Pretty damn good.
As bad as he was last year I'd support this move. Can't be much worse than Gus, so he is worth a shot.
He is probably confusing, his own property and what is actually the municipalities and therefore the tree wasn't on his property.
Yeah this is the same deal in Canada, people's property is much less than the think it is. The city always owns a chunk of their front lawn or whatever. It is the home owner's responsibility to take...
Love the new third jerseys.
I'll be missing this one but I have a bad feeling about it anyways. I hope I am proven wrong, though. I really hope Phil can keep it up this game, should be the toughest yet so it would obviously be...
Great to get the two points, sure there were some sloppy parts to the game but I'll take it. I love beating the Habs on HNIC, a lot of relatives are Habs fans.
Lets just keep our fingers crossed...
I guess I am looking at this positively, it sucks to only get a 6th but I guess it's better than nothing.
I know it was only two goals, but I am very pleased to come back and win this game after a bad start. I love to see Kessel tearing it up.
For what he is, I've liked him. His FO's keep him as a valuable 4th line player, even if he lacks in most other facets. If he can keep up the FOs I will like have having him in the line-up this year.
Well said, their transitions and emotion throughout there songs was a major element of making me a fan of them in the first place.
I agree, I would be upset if there metal days were over. Like I...
Awesome. I am genuinely jealous, have fun.
Anyone pick up the new Mastodon yet?
I really enjoy the new Opeth album, but I can see why one might be disappointed. I think it was a bit of a come back album after Watershed, which I didn't really care for.
Meh, faceoff guys are always useful. As long as he just sees the 4th line and PK then I'm fine with this. With all the injuries, this is not a bad move.
**** yeah it's finally here. Can't wait for it to start. I say we win this one 4-3 in OT.
Yeah, Steve Wilson is his name, I think. I'd have to look into it more, the two bands and their members are good friends. They have worked with/influenced each other before as well.
Great news, I love the orange.
I really like it, I knew it was going to be different. I think they pulled it off, must be hard to come out and produce something so different.
I am an avid metal listener and I have only heard of one or two bands in the OP and like non of them. Just because you don't know those ones doesn't mean you've completely lost touch.
I actually don't mind that call, would have been sweet to pull off. Whatever neck beard would just throw a pick anyways.
Damn it Orton.
I'd hope its a solid return (obviously) but I don't know what teams would be willing to give for him. I mean we have to many defensemen right now but he is still a player I see as more valuable to...
Well that was disappointing, even though we couldn't run the ball we need to win that game.
You got to be ****ing kidding me

Lean-to and Judy (pt. 2)
From Graham: In one of my previous posts I wrote about the Bates Lean-to, a little hut in the woods near campus on an alumnus's property. I wanted to add more on this subject for two reasons. First, Judy contacted me recently by friending me on Facebook. This was a great little surprise and she sent me some pictures from the lean-to. Also, I was reminded of the lean-to since a bunch of my friends and I have decided to go to the lean-to after dinner soon and do some cross country skiing first thing in the morning. Don't worry, cross country skiing is no exclusive sport, I just learned this winter (easy to learn, hard to master) and, since the college supplies the equipment, it is free. On that note, here's some pictures of the lean-to these days. One is from this summer when a bunch of alumni stayed in the woods during reunion weekend and another is from last week or so in the snow. [More…]

"36% of personal digital contents will be stored on the cloud in 2016" – Gartner, Inc.
36% is no small number. You might think it is just one-third of the data, but think again. You can easily get an estimate of how big 36% is by asking yourself one simple question: how big is your current hard drive?
Most computers now come with 500GB hard drive. That is a standard now. If you are not on laptop and using desktop, then it's likely that your storage capacity is at 1TB, or more. About 20GB or so is filled with your operating system, and maybe another 50GB or so with applications you use. The rest of your storage is filled with all your personal data – music, videos, photos, documents and whatnot. Those personal data usually take up hundreds of gigabytes on your hard drive. What would be 36% of that?
Computers are no longer the only machines we use to generate data. We are already in post-PC era, and we are using multiple connected devices, the majority of which are equipped with cameras. And most of those devices are powerful enough to perform most things we do on our PCs. With those devices, there is a massive increase in user-generated contents. And those contents also need storage.
You see, when your devices are filled with data and you find yourself in need of space. What do you do? Usually, we connect the device to our computers and off-load whatever contents onto the computer. That just contributes to the increase in storage need for your computer! And we already know that storing data only on our computers is the same as performing a spell to bring-forth the Apocalypse. That's why we look to the cloud, for backup purposes.
With such increase in our data storage, the storage requirement for our online backups has also increased. So what do we do with that?
Back in 2011, only 7% of consumer data were housed on the cloud. And now it's 36%. That's already at least a couple hundreds of gigabytes on average. Heck, even with minimal usage, it would be hovering around 75GB to 100GB of personal data alone. Backing up that amount of data online would cost a lot of money, isn't?
Not necessarily. There are online backup services with unlimited storage, and when we say unlimited storage, we mean that. It is not some scammy oversell promise. Here, we have compiled best online backups with unlimited storage for you to choose in 2013.
Winner – CrashPlan – From $5.99 Per Month
What can we not love about CrashPlan? It gives us unlimited storage backup at just $5.99 a month. Yes, you read that right. For the price of a cup of Starbucks Espresso and a croissant, you get yourself a nice backup service to store all your data on the cloud. CrashPlan is one of the most solid, awesome and kick-ass online backup companies in the market. Backed by solid technology and team, CrashPlan provides much more than just a gigantic pool of storage space for your data. With CrashPlan, you get an amazing client app which also doubles as a backup software you can use to perform local backups, as well as remote backups to another computer you own over same network or Internet. Just install CrashPlan desktop client app on both machines, and you are good to go. You can even get that kick-ass app without paying a dime for online storage option. How cool is that? A word of warning though. CrashPlan desktop client app is meant for advanced users. While it still has a wizard that will help you to setup and start backing up, it also sports features that let you fine-tune every single aspects of your backup. Its features are amazingly advanced and just so flexible. We totally fall in love with it since the first time we use, and check out our review on them here.
First Runner Up – Backblaze – From $3.96/month
Built by ex-Apple employees, Backblaze is just oozing with polishedness and easy-to-use traits of Apple products. While the desktop client app is very easy to use, it doesn't skimp on features like some other companies. It is not as feature-rich as CrashPlan though so it is more for people who want a simpler solution while still getting unlimited storage space for their online backups. With Backblaze, you get to pay only $5 a month if you choose to go with monthly billing cycle, and only $3.96 if you pay for 2 years in advance. Now that's even lower than a cup of coffee! Apple users will be also pleased to know that Backblaze integrates quite well with OS X since Mac version is written in Xcode and meant to work extremely well with Mac. Oh and there is no individual file size limit ceiling so if you have those huge high definition video files, you can easily back them up onto the cloud now. Here is our full review on Backblaze.
3. Bitcasa – $10 Per Month
Some of you may have heard of Bitcasa – the next big thing from TechCrunch Disrupt event. It is actually new kid on the block but already making huge waves with its amazing technology and offering. What Bitcasa offers is not just a backup solution with unlimited storage. In fact, they are offering "infinite storage" for you to use as your online hard drive. With Bitcasa client app running on your computer, you can turn any folder into Bitcasa drive (which basically puts the folder onto Bitcasa network). Then you can choose to either let that folder remain completely on Bitcasa, or also have a local copy (sort of like syncing in Dropbox). Either way, Bitcasa allows you to use their network like your own hard drive. And yes, you get no restrictions on storage space. Plus you are only paying $10 a month! How cool is that? Check out our review to learn more about Bitcasa.
4. Zipcloud – $6.95 Per Month
ZipCloud is super simple and very straightforward online backup service which will win the heart of many users who just want a no-frill service. The software is so simple to use that it is pretty much set it and forget it kind of thing. You just install the desktop client app, set which folders to backup, and done. For $6.95 a month, you get unlimited storage space (not including external hard drives) for your computer. If you don't need that much, then just pay $4.95 a month and you will be getting yourself a nice 75GB online backup storage plan. Be warned though. ZipCloud is not for advanced users who long for a lot of fine-tuning controls. It is more suited with people who don't want to mess around with configurations and all that. If you are one of those folks, then you will definitely love ZipCloud. Read our review on ZipCloud to learn more.
5. Carbonite – From $59/Year
Carbonite gives you unlimited storage backup for one computer for just $59 a year. It breaks down to about $4.916 a month but you can only pay annually. Carbonite is one of the most advertised and well-known online backup company with a solid service and customer support. It is best suited for Windows users actually, since the desktop client app for Mac OS X is rather shoddy and lacking a lot of features Windows users are taking for granted. The unlimited storage at that price is also only for internal hard drives too, so if you want to also backup external hard drives then you will have to pay $99 per year. Not so shabby, since you will be getting top-notch customer service from Carbonite team. Here is our review on them.

Re: Can USS VOYAGER separate from saucer section?
Trowel or shovel?
I could totally see a giant space baby using voyager as a spade at the sea side digging a moat around a sand castle.
You'd think that if the saucer could flip of that it would have flipped off in Timeless when she struck that ice planet.

Clearing the hurdles
None of this means the region is heading for a reefer free-for-all. Despite the changing legal tide, the barriers to entering the legal pot market remain steep.
"We have to jump through hoops that traditional businesses do not," says Oscar Velasco-Schmitz, 36, director of Dockside Co-op, a medical cannabis provider in Fremont that opened in 2011. "Nothing is easy."
Applying for a recreational retailer license is one hoop Velasco-Schmitz, a former software engineer and restaurant owner, is in no rush to jump through. (I-502 does not apply to medical marijuana operations, which remain loosely regulated and taxed by the state—a discrepancy the Legislature is working to resolve.) For now, he's content waiting to see what solution the state comes up with. "If push comes to shove and we have to jump into the I-502 regulatory scene, then we'll do whatever we have to do for our patients to have access," he says. (Below: Oscar Velasco-Schmitz, director of Dockside Co-op, a medical marijuana dispensary in Fremont, is in no rush to apply for a recreational retailer license.)
For growers, processors and retailers ready to take the recreational plunge, startup costs can be significant, given the state's security, insurance, testing, labeling and inventory-tracking rules. Would-be potpreneurs without personal savings, an ample credit line or well-heeled friends and family quickly learn that finding funding is a crapshoot. Bank loans are not an option. Most banks won't even give pot shops a checking account or credit card. (Federal regulations require them to report customers suspected of breaking federal law.) Investors willing to gamble on companies that directly touch the plant are needles in haystacks, too.
Location also can be tricky. Per I-502, cannabusinesses can't be within 1,000 feet of a school, library, playground, park, rec center, day care center, public transit center or an arcade open to minors. Factor in municipal zoning restrictions and the options diminish further. The Seattle City Council, for example, plans to restrict new retailers from operating in residential areas and historic districts.
"There's this mad dash to find compliant locations and owners that are OK with the use," says Burkhart, the tincture maker, who has spent more than six months hunting for a commercial space for processing his products this year. "I've seen ads on Craigslist where it says, 'Not marijuana friendly,' because they're going to get 20 calls from other kinds of businesses and they're going to get hundreds of calls for cannabis use."
For Burkhart, finding a compliant location entails checking Google maps for neighboring schools and day care centers, walking the neighborhood and, if necessary, hiring a surveyor.
Local landlords have their own concerns. Many of the landlords whom Seattle real estate attorney Brian Danzig counsels worry about the security, insurance and legal implications of leasing to a tenant in the cannabis business. A number of his clients say they'd be happy to lease to cannabusiness tenants, provided they're not put at legal risk themselves. But the "vast majority" of them don't want anything to do with tenants in the industry, says Danzig, a Gordon Thomas Honeywell partner and chair of their Seattle Real Estate group.
The list of obstacles goes on: Dispensaries and retailers aren't eligible for the same federal tax deductions that most U.S. companies are, because the federal government considers them drug traffickers. Without a bank account or credit card, they're stuck running a cash-based business. Those that do land a banker—often by presenting themselves as a "wellness provider" instead of a pot purveyor—run the risk of getting their personal and professional accounts closed once the bank catches on. Above all, receiving a shutdown letter from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is not outside the realm of possibility.

Two weeks ago, the United States national debt surpassed $16 trillion. To put that into perspective, that is more than $50,000 per person in the U.S. To finance this overwhelming debt, the U.S. is borrowing roughly 40 cents of every dollar we spend, a good portion of it from foreign countries like China.
Today, the House will stand up for jobs and affordable energy and vote on H.R. 3409, the Stop the War on Coal Act. This legislative package is comprised of a series of bills aimed to stop the Obama administration's regulatory assault on one of the nation's most important sources of energy.

Smith Cho has landed a recurring role on Ugly Betty.
The actress has starred on a pair of short-lived shows: Emily's Reasons Why Not and Knight Rider. She also appeared on an episode of Entourage in 2007.
Cho will debut on Ugly Betty's two-hour October 9 season premiere - that's a Friday, remember! - as Betty's quirky new officemate, Megan.
Betty has been promoted to features editor and she'll try to bond with Megan. Unsurprisingly, though, Cho's character won't know what to make of her.

This show destroyed the Private Detective show formula.
At the time, most TV PI's had cutie pie secretaries (Mannix' secretary Gail and Barnaby Jones' ex Miss America Lee Meriweather in particular), Jim Rockford had an answering machine...
All TV PI's had nice offices with dark wood paneling, Rockford's office was the living room of his decaying mobile home parked in the lot outside a diner...
It took at least 3 guys fighting dirty to subdue the average TV PI, even short, fat, aging Cannon. Jimmy was always the one getting his head handed to him unless he figured a way to sucker punch his opponent...
At the climax, other TV PI's would pull their guns, shoot it out with the baddies and save the day. Rockford's gun, often as not was still at home in his cookie jar...
TV PI's always had a friend on the police force who would gladly do favors, looking up DMV records, etc. Rockford's friend on the force was always getting in trouble for even knowing Rockford. The Captains & Lieutenants on the force universally viewed Jim as low life scum & not worth the time of day...
The average detective would go about his business, assembling clues to solve this weeks mystery. That is the way it was with Rockford except that he was always dealing with hustlers, con men, ex-convicts and the occasional ex-girlfriends, every one of whose purpose in life seemed to be the bedevilment and aggravation of Jim Rockford. Not to mention the recurring role of Jim's dad Rocky (deftly played by that Trojan actor, Noah Beery) who was always after Jim to give up PIing and do something "respectable" like truck driving.
When this show appeared on TV, every other PI looked dull and one by one they disappeared as they lost ground in the ratings.
This is also the show that put Steven J Cannell on the map. Nothing that he ever did subsequently equaled this. In fact most of it was crappy formula detective shows.
The Rockford Files is the REAL DEAL!
Simon Sez, CHECK IT OUT!
What the hell kind of a detective is this? The guy's not strong jawed,
self-righteous and brave, and he seldom even carries a gun, much less
anyone. Since he consistently gets stiffed by his clients, he has to live
hand to mouth in a cheesy trailer in a parking lot. (The trailer,
incidently, is only crummy on the outside. Inside, it's comfortable, well
furnished and clean, much like Rockford's character.)
Even the cops in this excellent series are presented as human, not as cardboard heroes. They've got the same pecking order problems at work that most of us have. In fact, ALL of the characters in this series seem to have some depth.
One of the most amazing things about the show's plots is that they hardly ever had to be resolved by gunfire because the writers were too lazy to come up with anything else.
Jim Garner's charm was a big part of the show's success, but it was the superb writing that made "The Rockford Files" so consistently entertaining. Many of the stories would have made first rate movies, particularly some of the two parters.
I'll never forget Angel begging Rockford for help after getting himself thoroughly enmeshed with the mob through his own stupidity and greed. Rockford chews him out, explains exactly why he ought to let him go right down the drain, and challenges him to come up with one good reason he should help him.
"Because you're my friend," Angel says, leaving Rockford without a comeback.
A friend like that, I could use.
As essayed by James Garner, Jim Rockford is one of the best characters
in TV history - in, I might add, one of the best series. The Rockford
Files never ceased to be entertaining during its '70s run and remains
so in syndication. There's something comfortable about the show,
probably because of the well-drawn characters that we feel we know.
If we didn't love Rockford so much, I guess we'd call him a loser. But we love him too much and are pulling for him too much to ever call him a loser. He never has any money. He lives in a dilapidated trailer on the beach. He's not married. He was in prison, though he didn't commit the crime and was pardoned. Helluva way to treat one of our ex-servicemen (Korea). His father, Rocky, was a truck driver and wants his boy Jimmy to take it up. It's steady, and he might get beat up less.
Jimmy, however, would rather be a private investigator. In order to do this, he occasionally runs afoul of police lieutenant Chapman and gets his buddy Dennis in trouble for using the power of the police to do him a favor. He also sometimes winds up embroiled with his con friend and former cellmate, Angel Martin, always in trouble and always looking for the main chance. And if attractive attorney Beth Davenport isn't hitting him up for pro bono help, he needs her to bail him out of jail.
It all sounds a little sad but it's endlessly fun, with some really classic episodes and great dialogue. This is also the series that launched Tom Selleck. In two episodes, he played perfect detective Lance White, a man who, unlike Rockford, couldn't take a wrong step and is beloved by every human being with whom he came in contact. The juxtaposition between Rockford and White is hilarious.
As Rockford, Garner is perfect, and the cast uniformly excellent, particularly Noah Berry, Jr. as his dad. If the clothes and the cars are dated, the acting, the relationships, and the story lines are not. The Rockford Files is one of the classics.
Although this series may look like just another private eye series from the 1970's, it is so much more. The show has great one liners, interesting cases, maybe one or two too many car chases, but above all, the show has some great characters. Every episode has interesting, unusual, complex characters running through it. Jim Rockford himself is a private detective but also a former con man and he is not above pretending to be another person or pulling a con in order to help solve his cases. The writing and acting were always top notch and it is no wonder that alumni from this show went on to do such projects as "Magnum, P.I.", "Wiseguy," and "The Sopranos." Enjoy, you will laugh, you will be surprised and you will be impressed.
I only qualify this show's classic status in reference to the 70s because
the fashion & overall style of the show is sooooooo 70s. I was a young kid
in the mid-to-late 70s (when this show was on the air) and watching it is
always good for a flashback or two. It's a reminder that although 70s
fashion has made a big comeback, they still managed to filter out some of
the really tacky stuff (as cool as Rockford was, I doubt his plaid jackets
will ever come back in style).
The Rockford Files is about Jim Rockford, a single, 40-something Private Investigator who lives in a rundown trailer house in sunny Southern California (Malibu, to be precise), drives a gold Pontiac Firebird, and has a dad he simply calls "Rocky". Rockford served in Korea (same as the real-life Garner) and did time in prison for a crime he didn't commit, although he was later pardened. Despite being sharp as a tack and tough on his feet, Rockford is forever getting himself entangled with con men, mobsters, and non-paying clients that keep him from the getting any respect.
Other recurring characters on the show include police Sgt. Dennis Becker (Rockford's close friend and seemingly the only member of the LAPD who doesn't hate his guts), Angel Martin (Rockford's former cellmate in prison & constant source of aggravation), and Beth Davenport (his attorney who frequently has to show up and bail Rockford out of jail).
The typical episode finds Rockford taking on a seemingly simple case that turns into something much bigger, or stumbling onto an unrelated mess while in the course of his regular investigations. Sometimes trouble seeks Rockford in the form of ex-cons he associated with in prison or as a PI, and as you can guess, it's never boring. Rockford routinely gets in over his head and some of his escapes tended to be a bit too Houdini-like, but James Garner's laid-back, easy charm always made sure you kept rooting for him.
Highly recommended!
This was probably the greatest part James Garner ever played. He was
essentially playing himself, an easy going guy caught in oddball situations
mainly brought on by loony clients or by his former ex-con friends. The
character of Jim Rockford was not unlike his other defining role of Bret
Maverick. Also, the supporting cast was great as well. Noah Beery Jr. was
perfect as Rocky, Jim's father, who was always trying to get his "Sonny" to
give up the detective business and join him in the trucking business. Joe
Santos was great as Dennis, Jim's main contact on the LAPD who reluctantly
helped Jim by giving him information on various cases. Gretchen Corbett was
great in her role as his girlfriend/lawyer Beth Davenport who would always
be there to get him out of a jam. But, perhaps the most memorable character
was Angel, played by Stuart Margolin. Angel was, and still is, the biggest
weasel in television history. He would often be responsible for getting Jim
into the odd predicaments he would get into.
Also of note, this was the first hit from the mind of Stephen J. Cannell after years of writing for Adam-12. Cannell is probably one of the greatest writers in television history and this is where it all began.
I remember my father watching "The Rockford Files" when it first came on the air, I was too young to remember it then, but was able to catch it on re-runs on A&E a few years back, and it is currently shown on two channels here in Canada. James Garner is the easy-going, laid back Jim Rockford. He has a big heart, yet always seems to come out on the short end of the stick. Garner does an excellent job as Rockford, and while I haven't seen much of his other work, he seems to play the same character. Some great supporting actors as well. Noah Beery as the worried father Rocky, Joe Santos as his put-upon cop buddy Dennis. One of my all-time favorite characters has to be Angel Martin, played perfectly by Stewart Margolin, the con "buddy" of Jim's. Very clever opening to each show, with the answering machine message. Obviously dated by the styles and settings, but still an excellent series that stands up well today. I'd give the series as a whole a solid 5 out of 5 stars.
I thought this was one of the better private dick programs. Rockford was a realistic guy, making statements like: "I'm not going in there, I could get KILLED!" Wise guys like Bogart would have bravely gone in and cleaned house, and looked corny doing it. Issac Hayes wasn't listed as a player, but was on enough to have been - if memory serves he did become a regular for awhile. Hayes added a nice touch to the show with his tough image and his reference to Rockford as "Rockfish", which drove Rockford nuts. Don't miss Stuart Margolin as the sleazy "Angel", one of his better parts.
I recall seeing one of the first episodes when it aired in October '74, and not being that impressed. In the end, I was hooked on this gentle but deceptively captivating series. It sums up what is best about episodic television when a good cast, writers and production crew gets together. Garner is perfect for the role doing his "everyman" schtick. His comedic ability is also put to very good use (the later episodes with "Lance White" - Tom Selleck - are just soo funny, as Garner is always left eating dust!). The supporting roles are also extremely well filled. Simply extremely good television that everyone involved can feel proud of.
I grew up watching this show, and it's still on cable. I can watch it over and over and still be entertained. Rockford has bad luck, gets hurt, and Chapman at the police office hates him. Somehow, through cons, dirty tricks, smarts, and very slick moves James finds a way to survive. The humor in this show is great. Like the time he soaps the bathroom floor. 10/10

Did The Emergency Alert System Test Pass Muster?
Had Wednesday's first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System been a real alert, some may have been left in the dark. Instead of that irritating tone interrupting television and radio programming, some TV viewers heard Lady Gaga singing "Paparazzi." Others had their programming switched to QVC, a home shopping channel.
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.
This is only a test.
MONTAGNE: And good thing, because if the first nationwide test yesterday of the Emergency Alert System had been a real alert, some Americans would not have known there was an emergency. Instead of that irritating high-pitched tone interrupting television and radio programming, some heard Lady Gaga singing "Paparazzi." Others had their programming switched to QVC, the home shopping channel. It's MORNING EDITION.

The U.S. Senate and Capitol Dome.
- Filed Under
WASHINGTON - The House passed a $50.7 billion disaster relief bill for victims of Hurricane Sandy on Tuesday, 78 days after the storm began pounding the Northeast.
Lawmakers voted 241-180 to approve the final bill, which includes $17 billion in emergency spending and another $33.7 billion in an amendment from Republican Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen of New Jersey.
"People are hurting," Frelinghuysen told lawmakers on the House floor. "The suffering and damage are real and their needs are great." ...

Pumps, pipes, water and war
21-03-2002 News Release 02/12
Water will increasingly be a source of conflict in the years to come. This warning was given by ICRC water and habitat engineers on the eve of International Water Day (22 March). Providing safe drinking water and treating waste in areas wrecked by conflict has been a main area of endeavour for the ICRC since 1985, when it first engaged in such work as a means of easing pressure on Eritrean health-care facilities overwhelmed by the numbers of victims of water-borne disease. It was found that providing clean water meant that fewer people fell ill, and preventing disease in the first place is always better than having to treat it.
Today the ICRC's " water and habitat " unit is active in over 30 countries. Situated somewhere between emergency operations and development projects, its work meets the water needs of nearly seven million people worldwide. The unit's budget last year was 55 million US dollars. Its activities mainly involve ensuring safe methods of waste disposal, setting up pumping units and water purification. In some cases, such work is carried out with utmost discretion. In Bosnia for instance, the fact that key water pipes ran under the front line was scrupulously withheld from combatants in a particular area. As a result, nobody thought of interfering with them, and hundreds of thousands of civilians continued to have access to drinking water.
Protecting water supplies from contamination is a key aspect of water and habitat work. The ICRC's position as a neutral intermediary often makes it the only organization able to provide vital chemicals and spare parts (for example to Baghdad's 15 pumping stations) or to ship water-transport equipment from government- held to rebel-held areas (for example in Sri Lanka). Kabul is a city totally devastated by ceaseless conflict, yet local ICRC staff were able to quickly repair damage done to its water-supply system following bombing raids last October. In the same month they repaired individual house latrines for 50,000 families.

The August 2015 election to replace Mayor Karl Dean is more than 2 1/2 years away, but whispers about the next crop of candidates started to build the minute Dean won re-election last year. / John Partipilo / File / The Tennessean
Will they run?
More than a dozen people have been mentioned as potential candidates for Nashville mayor in 2015, although some express more interest at this point than others.
Diane Neighbors
vice mayor, 2007-present; Metro councilwoman, 2003-07
Megan Barry
Metro councilwoman, 2007-present
Jerry Maynard
Metro councilman, 2007-present
Jason Holleman
Metro councilman, 2007-present
Ronnie Steine
Metro councilman, 1991-99 and 2007-present; vice mayor, 1999-2002
Bill Freeman
co-founder of real estate firm Freeman Webb, former Tennessee Democratic Party treasurer
Howard Gentry
Davidson County Criminal Court Clerk, 2011-present; vice mayor, 2002-07; Metro councilman, 1999-2002
David Fox
Metro school board member, 2006-2010
Mike Turner
state representative, 2000-present
Jeff Yarbro
attorney who nearly unseated state Sen. Douglas Henry in 2010 Democratic primary
Daron Hall
Davidson County sheriff, 2002-present
Jeremy Kane
founder of LEAD Public Schools, a Nashville
charter school network
Butch Eley
CEO, Infrastructure
Corporation of America
Megan Barry is playing host with regularity these days, her home becoming a familiar gathering spot for Nashvilles political class.
There was the at-large Metro councilwomans fundraiser for council colleague Darren Jernigans state House campaign; a separate event benefiting the Davidson County Democratic Partys Victory Fund; and another outing to raise money for the Nashville Symphony. In all, Barry has held seven fundraisers this year at her Belmont-area home to help a wide range of groups. A holiday party for the states Young Democrats organization is on tap this month.
At first glance, the flurry of activity is a reflection of Barrys political leanings and interests. Yet the volume of events also has fueled speculation on whether she might be setting the table for a mayoral run.
The August 2015 election to replace Mayor Karl Dean is more than 21/2 years away, but whispers about the next crop of candidates started to build the minute Dean won re-election last year. And with local political experts placing the races fundraising bar as high as $2.5 million Deans campaign raised and spent slightly more than that in 2007, his first bid for the office candidates may start declaring themselves earlier than one might think.
Barry, a favorite among Nashville progressives, has sought to make inroads with the business community. She acknowledged that shes actively exploring a run for mayor by having conversations with key individuals on what a race might entail. If a campaign is in her future, Barry suggested, she might reveal her intentions earlier than those who can bankroll their own operations.
People who have the ability to self-fund can decide to jump in whenever they want, but for the rest of us, the fundraising part of a mayoral campaign is lengthy and complex and requires getting in well in advance of the election, said Barry, who raised more money and received more votes than any other council member during Metros last general election.
Her movement toward a mayoral run is the most visible, but shes hardly alone. A gaggle of other council members Vice Mayor Diane Neighbors and Councilmen Jerry Maynard, Ronnie Steine and Jason Holleman all confirmed that they are weighing runs.
All five would need to overcome history: No one has ever made the leap from Metro Council member to mayor.
A slew of non-council politicos acknowledge that they also are considering or at least not ruling out mayoral bids: businessman and former Tennessee Democratic Party treasurer Bill Freeman; Davidson County Criminal Court Clerk and former Vice Mayor Howard Gentry; former Metro school board Chairman David Fox; and state Rep. Mike Turner, D-Old Hickory.
Theres also a crop of potential contenders whose names stir speculation, though they insist theyre focused only on the jobs they have now: attorney Jeff Yarbro, who put up a strong but unsuccessful primary fight against Democratic state Sen. Douglas Henry two years ago; Sheriff Daron Hall; Jeremy Kane, founder of the Nashville charter school network LEAD Public Schools; and Butch Eley, CEO of Infrastructure Corporation of America.
The last election just ended, Yarbro said. Its way too early to start the next one.
Even the previous mayor, Bill Purcell, who led the city from 1999 to 2007, gets mentioned regularly. While Purcell, an attorney, hasnt gone to great lengths to tamp down the speculation, his former top aide dismissed it.
If he were going to run for mayor, I think I would know it, said Bill Phillips, the deputy mayor under Purcell. And I dont know it.
The list is so long because the race is wide open, which isnt uncommon at this juncture in the election cycle.
Its more of a parlor game at this point than anything else, said Bert Mathews, a developer who is chairman of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce.
Deep pockets don't hurt
Two of the past three mayors Dean and Phil Bredesen had the luxury of financing much of their own campaigns. Deans official entry into the August 2007 election came only eight months earlier. He eventually contributed $1.2 million of the $2.6 million his campaign spent.
Other deep-pocketed candidates could be operating on a similar timeline. But for those who have to build a campaign apparatus from scratch, the maneuvering already has started.
You have to assume there will be a primary and then a runoff election, said John Rowley, a political consultant at Fletcher Rowley.
Rowley, like others, forecasts a fundraising minimum of $2 million to $2.5 million to be competitive in 2015, with $1 million going toward television ads alone.
A lot of times, theres a lot of movement with no action, Rowley said of the buildup before campaign announcements. But in a mayors race, it is the only race that (a ground and field game) is always a huge part of the strategy, not just a tactic.
For now, the earliest signs of the next campaign can be found at the Metro Council.
Maynard, the citys lone African-American at-large councilman, took the reins as state Democratic Party Finance Committee chairman last year. More recently, he penned a book that discusses leadership within the black community. Observers see both moves as ways to increase his profile, but Maynard said hes concerned only with city issues for now.
Am I considering running? Yes, he added. But do I think in 2013 that Im going to start to act on that? No.
Steine, who has won five countywide races for council and vice mayor, said hes also exploring his viability as a mayoral candidate. He said an announcement would be at least six months premature.
Neighbors, who has led the council as vice mayor since 2007, said shes at least a year away from a decision. She acknowledged that she started talking to people about it more than a year ago.
Any of the council members would face significant challenges in a race to move down to the ground floor of the courthouse and into the mayors office. The council is expected to dissect and debate what the mayor proposes just as Congress picks apart the presidents initiatives making a move to the White House rare for senators.
If you properly serve the people that elected you to the Metro Council, you tend to put on display an entirely different set of skills than those Nashville has historically looked for in its mayors, said Councilwoman Emily Evans, who said shes not interested in trying to make history. That doesnt mean council members past and present dont have those skills; they just arent readily apparent to the public.
David Briley, a former councilman who ran for mayor in 2007, said Nashville has historically elected mayors who generally have a higher profile and more experience than the typical council member. He pointed out that Metros stable of mayors includes two former congressmen, among others.
I dont think its anything inherent about being on the council, Briley said of council members record of futility in mayoral races. I think its more just the job has been very competitive, and youve seen very accomplished people try to get it.
Briley said he doesnt plan to run in 2015.
Neighborhood and business interests
Observers are monitoring the swinging pendulum between neighborhood and business interests in the citys politics.
After eight years of what Purcell backers remember as neighborhood-centric policies, Deans administration has embraced big civic projects and proactively turned to tax incentives for business growth.
Theres a number of people out there who are looking for somebody who can pick up where Karl leaves off, said Eley, who served as the Nashville mayors first director of economic and community development in Bill Boners administration in the late 1980s.
Ive been approached by some folks that I think are looking for someone that maybe has a background in understanding government, but also understands business and what we need to be doing from an economic development stand-point.
Neighbors, who said education another Dean focus will be the citys biggest challenge, said neighborhood and business interests can be aligned more than some people think.
I think you need a combination of both, she said. You cant have neighborhoods if you dont have business, and you cant have business if you dont have neighborhoods. You have to blend the two.
Fox, who sat on the school board for four years and manages a hedge fund professionally, said folks from both the education and business worlds have approached him on seeking the mayors office. Hes taking his time to think about it. He also cited economic growth as one of the citys most pressing issues.
We have a terrific entrepreneurial climate in Nashville, but it hasnt really reached out to all parts of the city and to all people, Fox said.
Ralph Schulz, president and CEO of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, said hes not running, despite speculation that he is. But hes encouraging business-minded people to start thinking about it now.
There may be people out there who arent politicos who could make great candidates, Schulz said.

it is impossible to put pictures directly onto this site from your desktop. This is because the only way to put pictures on this site is by linking from another place online. So in order to post here you must first upload your image onto the net through some other source and then post an img link.
Provides free reliable web hosting and is a good site to use to upload your images then just compy the img link from there and post it here. It takes a while to figure out but once you get going it is easy, just dont give up till it works.

35 - and the annual Jorth birthday giveaway!
Anyway, as per the tradition, I thought I'd have a giveaway to celebrate my birthday and share the crafting love. Rules are super simple: just be a follower of my blog, and leave a comment announcing your desire for the goodies.
Speaking of goodies, here they are:
To start, four recent issues of Ottobre Design Woman magazine (issues 2/2012, 5/2011, 2/2011 and 2/2010). Lots of fantastic patterns in here, but I'm giving them away because my pattern list is just too darn long as is, and I know I'll never get around to using them, so they may as well go to a good home.
What was that you said? You'll need some fabric to go with the patterns? Well, lookee here - I've got fabric for ya, too!
From left to right:
1.25m of Japanese cotton, 1.25m of Alexander Henry printed cotton, 1m of Japanese cotton, 1.5m of Zimmerman silk, 1.3m of Alannah Hill acetate blend and 1.25m of Marc Jacobs devore silk/cotton blend. All of them lovely, and all of them looking for a new home, because it's getting a wee bit crowded in that sewing buffet of mine, and if I'm brutally honest, as much as I love them all, I just won't get around to sewing them up.
So leave a comment, follow ze blog and all these marvellous goodies could soon be winging their way to you. Happy to ship internationally, so get commenting! Giveaway closes midnight Sunday 22nd July. Good luck, dear readers!

If it's the steering rack boot then you have to remove tie rod end and remove boot from rack/tie rod (slide off) then replace with new 1 and reassemble. Make sure to get tie rod end in same position on rod as this determines your alignment.
