Whenever new cards or a new prebuilt come out, Worthing's always chomping at the bit to figure out all the strategic ins and outs. Here's his strategy guide to playing with the new Orks prebuilt!
Hello iczers, worthing here to help you out with the new ork prebuilt file. We haven't released a prebuilt file in quite awhile but orks are a very strong and simple file that would really help new players and would give some veterans a new file to play at a great price. If you have the gran to buy this prebuild and are interested in how orks play I highly suggest picking the file up in the shop. Not sure if you like orks? Well I will go over the pros and cons to help you decide if you like them as well as helping you play them.
Let us take a look at the file list first.
3x Grebados
3x Orc Commander
3x Giant Orc
3x Orc Bombadier
3x EX Giant Orc
3x Smart Orc
1x Dragon Breath
1x Fireball Breath
1x Dryad
1x Salamander
1 EX Girl Mercenary
1 Fire Arrow
The Magician / Primrose
Soul skills
1. Henrietta
2. Lycanthrope Scylla
3. Ant Swarm
4. Revenant
5. Skeleton Warrior
On paper they look fairly strong and after testing this file a few times in folrart I personally think it is very strong and can be modified in many ways to your liking. Also worth noting is that the prebuild gives you 7 EX cards and 2 3* rarity cards. For those of you who are not aware Henrietta's soul skill is just like Asuet and Distrier and is a core card in many level 3 rush files. Next let us look at the usual way to play the file and do some simple math to see why orks can be very strong.
Looking at this build you can see that playing EX giant ork on turn 1 is the safest and strongest card to open with. Next EX mercenary girl, salamander, or dryad will be your best bet so you can set a level 3 unit on turn 3 (generally grebados or ork commander). Lets assume your opponent is plays his first two turns passively by playing refugee citizens and divine impact and you expect him/her to play folrart guardian on turn 3. Your best bet against most players that play passively on the first two or three turns is to try and get grabados out as soon as possible to snowball your orks and take out their high level units. Back to the example, lets say you played EX giant ork and dryad on your first two turns since you expect him to play a few bigger refess units and you want to make your ork a bit tankier and get to your first soul skill to get 1 more sp to play more units. Next grebados will be your best bet to take out those big solar kingdom units we have all come to know and love. On turn 4 you should probably play EX mercenary girl and following up with a level 3 ork or two depending on how some agility rolls go. Their are times to not rush grebados like against files that can get around his action skill by draining sp or can just return him and kill your other orks. In these games depending on what cards your opponent played early it can be better to play Ork commander or Giant ork on turn 3 to pressure and do as much damage as you can early to make your opponent spend sp on reviving and such. One last thing to mention is ork bombardier and smart ork are great for late game since smart ork is much better when you get the sp to rank him up and later in the game you may want bombardier in the front row to hit smaller units in your opponents back row. Now that I have went over some generic and basic game play with orks lets look at the pros and cons of playing them.
Pierce Defense
Orks are tanky
Snowball due to grebados
Ork commander can make orks a lot stronger and one ork faster
Easy to use
Tons of ways to modify the file and play it differently
Grebados heals orks
Grebados can revive and buff an ork
Easy to disrupt by moving units or engaging
Most orks cannot iczer attack
Returns can stop your units from getting strong
Most orks cannot rest
Ant swarm can be risky and may nullify ork commander's start skill
Next I have to different games where I show and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of orks. Thanks to Jazzock for helping me make these videos.
Weakness of orks: orks vs wizard kingdom
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EFuZ0eQWQo
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3hKabojbp0
As you can see getting your units moved or engaged can really cluster your field with useless or unproductive units. Also worth noting is I should have moved my grebados to the back row so I could use bombardier more. Its not unbeatable and can be worked around if you become familiar with the problem too.
Strength of orks: Orks vs solar kingdom
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIpYzoZ0Cf4
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZZCtx-tLl0
Finally I'll show a modded version I prefer to use to help show diversity and how interchangeable orks can be as a file.
3x Grebados
3x Ork commander
3x ork bombardier
3x EX giant ork
2x emerald carbuncle
2x salamander
2x pixy archer
2x Tiere
2x oversoul
1x angel's trumpet
1x revive
1x fireball breath
*Credit to johnjo for the original concept of this ork file.
There are plenty of other ways to play orks but personally I like this file the most. Check out the forums to see what everyone else has to say about orks and put your thoughts in as well. Thanks for reading my guide!

Lenoir County commissioners are sticking to their guns when it comes to the right to bear arms following suit with other ENC counties by passing gun rights resolutions like Beaufort and Pitt counties have already done recently.
Lenoir County commissioners voted unanimously Monday night to pass two different gun resolutions. The first, is to preserve constitutional second amendment rights. The second, was to protect the privacy and security of law abiding gun owners in the Lenoir County by making gun ownership permit information private. It's public information now. Some say it makes legal gun owners targets for thieves.
Clyde Sutton was one of many in the crowd to support the decision. "I'm a hunter. There's a lot of hunters in eastern North Carolina. Also, you need that protection, for your family. You need to be able to keep those arms handy, at all times," said Sutton.
We couldn't find anyone at the meeting opposed to the resolutions.

The 16th ethanol E-85 station opened in the state and it's the 2nd in the east.
At the Magnolia Marketplace in Duplin county, just off of Interstate 40, flex fuel vehicles can now fill up. The E-85 fuel dispenser is the first one to open that's funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Organizers say it's important for these dispensers to continue to open across the state because ethanol fuel has a large potential to grow the economy of North Carolina.
"There's a lot of potential. There's never going to be potential that we'll produce petroleum in this county but there's great potential that we'll be able to grow the crops that make this fuel and that's what's exciting. said Anne Tazewell, N.C. State University.
The owner of the Magnolia Marketplace says having the dispenser open to the public is a 5-year dream come true.

Destination guide: San Martin de los Andes, Argentina
San Martin de los Andes is located to the south-west of the province of Neuquen in Argentina Each year it welcomes hundreds of tourists attracted by its variety of options for winter sports. Enormous snowy mountains surround the town providing marvelous scenery, together with forests and lakes. This is not all though. San Martin de los Andes also has some of the best cake shops in Patagonia.
Fly with LAN Airlines and find out everything about this tourist destination.
San Martin de Los Andes
San Martin has two peak periods - winter for skiing at Cerro Chapelco and summer for trekking, climbing etc in nearby Parque Nacional Lanín. Brave souls also swim in the chilly waters of Lago Lácar on the western edge of town.
Between these times, it's a quiet little town with a spectacular setting the full of charm. A boat ride on the lake is pretty much a must if you're passing through, and if the snow's cleared (anytime from November onwards) and you're heading south, you should seriously think about leaving town via the scenically neck-straining Ruta de los Siete Lagos (RN 234), which runs south to Villa la Angostura, Lago Nahuel Huapi and Bariloche.

I did this a few years ago for presents for my son's kindergarten teacher. I had him draw on the back and I went over them with my wood burner, and I did a design on the other side. I had some bamboo spoons from Target. The grain of the bamboo made it a little bit different than other wood, but it was still alright. My son's teacher loved it! Wood burners are so so much fun to play around with!ReplyDelete

Right of access
So to get my bins out I have to walk along the back of our neighbour's house. This is fine as we have access to use that bit of the pavement, to ban us would be unreasonable.
However, the neighbours seem to have some sort of list of things we can and can't use the path for, given they have told us not to push a motorcycle along it and not to linger on it unduly. Being the sort of person I am (i.e. a devious little so and so) my response to this has been to wonder, what are the exact rules as to what access means? Could I, purely for example, herd geese along the path? Or could I bring cows in from their field, along the path and into my living room, (whereupon my other half would file for divorce I admit, and the farmer who owned the cows would not be best pleased I suspect...).
Is there a generic rule as to the right of access, or do I need to read my house deeds in minute detail to find it?
Also, suggestions as to what I can do on the path legally would be appreciated.
assuming we are not talking
assuming we are not talking about a local authoriry maintained pavement in which case use is determined by statute.I assume it is a private right of way which if not included in licence agreement or covenant could be a source of disagreement.You are right to question the arrangement.The firsr call should be to the solicitor who conveyed the property to you.

Court papers obtained by 11 News indicate a Pueblo court clerk was willing to lose her job to help her friend who was friends with a suspect in jail.
Robin Arwood, 42, has been arrested for and charged with first-degree official misconduct, which is a misdemeanor.
Court records show she was helping a suspect who was arrested for allegedly being caught with nearly $12,000 worth of methamphetamine.
According to arrest papers, Arwood would tell her friend confidential information about the suspect's case.
She even warned her when investigators planned on executing search warrants, so they could potentially get rid of evidence.
Her friend would then relay the information to the suspect over recorded jailhouse phone calls. That's how Arwood got caught.
Court papers say the suspect, Richard Crites, was warned of a search of his mother's house.
He then over a recorded phone call, told the girl both him and Arwood knew, Kelly Conroy, to warn his mother.
He asked her to call his mom and tell her "about purple bag and for her to get it and throw it over the fence."
According to the arrest affidavit, Conroy told Crites over a phone call that she told Arwood "how much they appreciate what she's doing for all of them and that she knows she is going to lose her job." Arwood allegedly replied, "I don't care."
The arrest papers go onto say that Conroy assured Arwood that she'd be taken care of financially if Conroy went to jail and Arwood lost her job.
Crites allegedly said "She [Arwood] will be well taken care of because we have people working for us." He adds, "Keep Robin up in the cut. It's always good to have someone like that."
Arwood does not have a criminal record.
She has bonded out of jail and remains on paid administrative leave. She is due in court next week.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there's an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If any of the above solutions work, please post back what solved your problem. It will help others with the same problem.

The Benefactor Schafter is a luxury 4-door sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto IV and The Ballad of Gay Tony. The Schafter has been redesigned in The Ballad of Gay Tony, nicknamed the "Second Generation", sporting a much more luxurious look.
The first-generation Schafter is similar in design to a 1999-2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class but was modified to appear with a smaller body and less flamboyant fascias. It's rear fascia seems to be derived from a 1999–2006 Mercedes CL-Class, most likely the AMG variant.
In The Ballad of Gay Tony, the second-generation Schafter is featured. It has a more modernized appearance, with a general body design similar to that of a W212 Mercedes-Benz E-class, a front fascia clearly derivative of that of a C216 Mercedes-Benz CL-class, and a rear fascia similar to that of a W212 Mercedes-Benz E-class. Adding to the more modern appearance is the presence of LED strips below the two bi-xenon bulbs in the headlights, and LED taillights.
The Schafter in GTA IV is powered by a 6.5L supercharged V12 coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a RWD configuration. Although a 6.5L supercharged V12 is quite powerful for a car of its class, it feels slow. However it is quite a heavy vehicle, so acceleration is below average, compared to other vehicles in its class, such as the Oracle and Presidente. Top speed is a little bit above average: 145 mph (232 km/h) even though the speedometer says 155 mph (248 km/h) is the top speed, the Schafter struggles to shift gear at 145 mph (232 km/h), therefore, limiting the advertized speed by a small fraction. The car Handling is above average—although a slight hint of oversteer is detectable, the Schafter's firm suspension makes it a joy in low-speed cornering. The suspension is a perfect balance of firm and soft, keeping the Schafter planted on the road in turns, while not jarring over bumps. Braking is fair, and ABS is available, though not standard. Crash deformation and engine build quality are excellent; the car is capable of sustaining multiple direct impacts, and can also take a great amount of gunfire before the engine gives off or bursts into flames. The Russian Mafia Schafter has a slightly higher top speed than it's unmodified counterpart at 160 mph (256 km/h). But the same problem as the standard Schafter remains. The speedometer says the top speed is 170 mph (272 km/h), but it struggles to shift gear at 160 mph (256 km/h).
The 6.5L supercharged V12 engine is not found in real-life Mercedes-Benz S-Class cars, which instead have twin-turbo V12 engines with 5.5L (S600) or 6.0L (S65 AMG) displacements. The game designers may have intended for the Schafter's engine to be an "amalgamation" of the powerplants found in the S55 AMG (5.4 L (5439 cc) supercharged V8) and S65 AMG (6.0L twin-turbo V12).[1]
GTA IVA tuned version of the Schafter (similar to S-Class variants from the Mercedes-AMG division, most likely the Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG) is commonly found in Hove Beach, Broker, being driven by the Russian Mafia. It comes in black, and has black rims, sport body kit, and no front emblem. However, the Russian Schafter can be resprayed to any color. The black rims can also be recolored back to the standard silver. The grille would remain black though. If you respray the Schafter to a specific silver coat, it comes with the same blacked-out rims from the Russian Mafia variant.
Another possible variant has the default bodykit and colors but sports the blacked-out rims like on the Russian Mafia Schafter. It could be a coding mix-up or game glitch.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
Similarly, the Ballad of Gay Tony's Schafter ("Second Generation") is also available in a modified form, featuring a different grille design, a low-riding body kit, a pair of single exhaust pipes (as opposed to two for each pair on a regular variant), and the possibility of appearing with one of two body color styles, including a single all-round body color, and a two-tone scheme with the darker color painted over the trunk lid, roof and a portion of the hood lid.
The Ballad of Gay Tony's Schafter also serves as the basis for a limousine dubbed the "Stretch E".
- The Schafter is one of the two only vehicles in the GTA IV era that has two generations. The other being the Faggio.
- In the opening scene of Grand Theft Auto IV, some Triad gangsters are seen loading heroin into a black Schafter. The same car is seen being lowered onto the dock while Niko Bellic is waiting for Roman. This therefore makes it the first car seen in the GTA IV era. Mikhail Faustin is being driven in a similar Schafter in the mission The Master and the Molotov.
- In A Revenger's Tragedy, a rare Schafter can be found at the abandoned Alderney Casino. It is the Russian Mob variant, with black rims, but has a dark red paint job. No matter how many times the player sprays a Schafter in a Pay 'n' Spray, the car will remain the same color. A Schafter in the same color can be seen in the TLAD mission Politics, in the airport. Although dismounting Johnny's Hexer is risky in the airport, the Schafter can be stolen.
- There is a particularly rare color variant of the Schafter with a silver body and black rims; Schafters of this color are only seen while the player is already driving a Schafter.
- The two default radio stations in the Schafter are Jazz Nation Radio 108.5 and Fusion FM in Grand Theft Auto IV and K109 The Studio and IF99 - International Funk in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
- The name Schafter is probably meant to be similar to the word "Shafter", which can be assumed to be a reference to a penis, true to Rockstar's distinct sense of humor
- When you are driving a Schafter in Fishmarket South, underneath the main road you can find a magenta or a fluro pink Schafter parked across the street from The Pier 45 resturant.
- The Russian Mafia variant appears in The Cousins Bellic.
- Schafter is German for "steward".
- In the loading sequence, the concept art shows Niko Bellic escaping from the police in a red Schafter.
- The Second Generation Schafter shares a similar rim design with the Feltzer.
- Jimmy Pegorino owned a black Schafter that looked alike the Russian Mob variant except the sports kit and the grille found on the Russian Mob Variant.
- The first generation Schafter most likely has LCI taillights.
- Schafter in GTA IV and TLAD
- Common in Hove Beach, where both the regular Schafter and the Russian Mafia Schafter can be found. The car is also available in TBOGT at the same spot.
- Down the street from the Broker Safehouse, towards Firefly Island. Sometimes a Merit or Rebla will spawn in it's place.
- Common in Cerveza Heights, Dukes.
- Common in Algonquin, Liberty City. Once Algonquin is unlocked, the Schafter isn't hard to find anywhere.
- In The Lost and Damned Gang Wars, the Russian Mafia version always appears, of course, when facing the Russians.
Schafter in TBOGT
- Considerably uncommon unless the player drives one.
- In a great majority of the missions for Gay Tony (or the Club Management missions), there will be a black Schafter that you drive to your destination. Simply fail the mission by killing someone that isn't supposed to die, then park it in your parking space. (This is useful for getting other colors to spawn too.)
Notable owners
- Mikhail Faustin can be seen riding in a unique Russian Mafia Schafter during the mission "The Master and the Molotov". It has black rims and a silver grille. This version can be found in TLAD Gang Wars involving the Russian Mafia.
- Jimmy Pegorino also owns a black Schafter, with black rims and a standard silver Schafter grille, featured in "Pegorino's Pride". If the player fails the mission repeatedly, the car may spawn in either a dark brown or burgandy color.
- Gay Tony owns one or more black Second Generation Schafters, which serve as chauffeured vehicles courtesy of Maisonette 9. It's his main car and also the very first car the player drives on TBoGT.
- Packie McReary owns a white Schafter as it may appear outside his home in "Waste Not Want Knots", and it also will appear if you fail the mission.
- It's possible that Rocco Pelosi owns a regular Schafter, which is seen during Party's Over.

U.S. politics has been pre-occupied since November 6 with short-term fiscal problems. Will the fiscal cliff be avoided and if so, by what measures? This is the seventh order of economic smalls.
The crucial issue – all but ignored by a people who have lost all interest in the long-term future of their nation – is what will happen if the United States continues down its current path to an unsustainable rise in the national debt.
At best, current fiscal cliff discussions will leave in place annual federal deficits of the order of $1 trillion. By 2016, the nation's national debt will approach $20 trillion. Global markets will not tolerate levels of debt that so outreach the nation's gross domestic product.
Just when the adverse market reactions will occur cannot be predicted. But when they do so, the U.S. economy will be crushed by an avalanche of unstoppable magnitude.
Once creditors determine that U.S. Treasury's are no longer the safest form of investment available, demand for those Treasury's will decline, interest rates will rise, and the cost of servicing the debt will explode. Even a modest 1 per cent interest rate increase, for example, would wipe out all the deficit reduction included in last year's Budget Control Act. In other words, all the pain envisaged in the fiscal cliff would provide no deficit relief at all.
In reality, if market forces move against U.S. Treasury's they would not impose a 1 per cent cost. Interest rates would increase more likely to 5 or 6 per cent per annum on the initial tranche. Such penalties would require massive and immediate cuts to Social Security Medicare and National defense and most likely would take Medicaid right off the federal accounts. Even the Congressional Budget Office projects that, under the most likely scenario, in 30 years from now, net interest payments on the U.S. national debt will amount to $3.8 trillion per annum in real 2012 dollars. That is more than total government spending in 2011.
"As Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff recently explained, 'By the time (markets) lose confidence, it's too late: The option to tighten from a position of strength has evaporated.' Senator Mike Lee, 'After fiscal cliff comes fiscal avalanche', The Washington Times, November 26, 2012
No one expects a seeming economics' ignoramous like Barack Obama to be able contemplate such reality. A majority of the electorate, in its collective stupidity, chose economic incompetence over experienced success. Now every American will have to live with the sad consequence of the economic avalanche that is sure to come.

November 12th, 2012
When the floodwaters began to lap at his hip, Rahmell Ortiz's stubbornness finally buckled. He ran for his life, unsure of where he was going, or what had become of the other 6350 residents of Brooklyn's Red Hook Houses. Ortiz knew only that the Superstorm Sandy was showing no signs of mercy, and that his friend Horace Jackson, who had been banging at his door, wasn't taking no for an answer.
11 days, and a terrifying chest-high wade later, the two men stood in line for a free twice-daily meal dished out by volunteer-manned tables and trucks stationed outside the Calvary Baptist Church of Red Hook. It was by both men's accounts, the highlight of the day for local residents, many of whom still were living without power, heat or any idea when either might return, due to extensive saltwater damage in the basements of the 33 buildings that make up Brooklyn's largest public housing development.
"It's a shame," agreed Jackson. "No heat, light's been off for 11 days, and you can't feel funny about coming down for free food when your power is out."
The food in question is donated and distributed by an unofficial and ever-changing network of restaurants, off-shift or displaced hospitality workers, members of the Occupy Sandy movement (an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street effort now focused on Sandy relief), freelancers, volunteers at the close-by Red Hook Initiative and concerned New Yorkers looking to help out wherever they can.
"It's all come together through social media and bicycles, and it's run by freelancers," laughed Craig Judelman, 27, a full-time fiddle player and Occupy stalwart who had been riding his own bike over to Red Hook from Crown Heights each day. Along with personal chef Hagar Aviram, 29, who had also biked around looking for somewhere to help, the two had been working with the Red Hook Initiative and Occupy Sandy to organize daily meal efforts from within Calvary Church, which had itself been badly flooded. When the waters receded, the help streamed in.
"The supplies are coming from the goodness of people's hearts," said Aviram, "and I need as much support here as I can get."
Like many of the volunteers (identified by makeshift nametags scrawled on scraps of tape) and residents Eatocracy spoke with, she didn't see it coming from official channels. Judelman agreed, "This is grassroots, and Occupy had the structure in place to organize quickly."
Word of changing daily needs goes out on Twitter and Facebook.
For now, the food and supplies show up, and both volunteers and residents are grateful for what they can get. "They're happy while they're here," said Judelman. "Then they have to go home and sit in the dark."
One day, several crates of Greek yogurt were left at the church, and some volunteers worried about lack of refrigeration. Judelman assured them it wouldn't be a problem. "Want to quickly get rid of some yogurt before it goes bad? You know who will happily take it? People who don't have anything else to eat."
"Some people were worried that other people were hoarding, that they were taking too much," he recounted. "These people are dumped on by society year-round. People need to eat. It's okay if they take too much."
But that doesn't mean they are necessarily thrilled about eating just anything on offer. "No more trays of baked ziti, please," pleaded Judelman, and hot soup was a surprisingly difficult sell on a chilly Friday afternoon. Marco Canora and Paul Grieco of Hearth restaurant and Terroir wine bars had set up a table outside Calvary Church and along with the restaurants' staffers, watched as people lined up for hearty, filling offerings from Solber Pupusas and Rickshaw Dumplings trucks, while they wheedled for customers to come over and sample their wares.
The trucks were part of a joint relief effort between the New York City Food Truck Association and the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, with hefty contributions from Jet Blue and their customers, to bring hot food to people in communities hit hard by Sandy. Red Hook residents (and a few shoppers from a nearby IKEA who were unaware of the trucks' mission) queued up a couple dozen deep, while the Hearth team took feedback.
"I don't like vegetables, I don't like beans and I don't like broth," said one woman. "Bring some chicken noodle next time, and I'll be all over that."
"This is three-star soup!" retorted J Rosser Lomax, 27, who had been volunteering around Brooklyn with the U.S. Bartenders Guild. "You really should give it a try."
Patrons who eventually tried the soup - a nutrient-dense, soul-satisfying black cabbage and white bean ribollita that fetches $13 a bowl at Canora's East Village restaurant - came back for seconds. And thirds. And fourths. Canora took the initial marketing issue in stride, and mulled over offerings for the next outing.
Canora and Grieco, along with chefs George Mendes, Andrew Carmellini and Seamus Mullen, despite having lost business and thousands of dollars worth of stored food when their restaurants lost power, held a $300-a-plate dinner two days beforehand to raise funds for their new initiative NYC Food Flood. With the money, and additional ingredients donated by vendors, the chefs plan to set up similar meal stations at other areas in need of relief. Canora said he believed this model works on a couple of levels - both allowing the group to be fleet of foot and free of the red tape of larger organizations and also freeing the chefs to do what they do best: feeding people.
Lomax, who had been going door-to-door feeding homebound residents in Brooklyn public housing projects and making sure their diabetic supplies stayed properly chilled, found it only natural that the hospitality industry stepped up to help.
"We're people people. This is what we do, and we do it with a smile on our face," he said. "And feeding people truly changes things."
Lomax and his fellow members of the U.S. Bartenders Guild communicate via text messages and follow the #occupysandy hashtag on Twitter and coordinate with the Red Hook Initiative to find out what supplies and resources are needed where. "I tell my friends 'Sleep tonight, volunteer tomorrow and brunch when you're dead,'" Lomax quipped. "And donations of coffee would be super welcome."
And while Occupy Sandy and the Red Hook Initiative can mobilize a volunteer army in 140 characters, hospitality pros can help with the logistics of plating hundreds of hot meals at a time. Though power has been restored to nearly half of the Red Hook Houses, and the New York City Housing Authority promises heat within the next few days, Judelman remained dubious. He mused over the logistics of serving a seated Thanksgiving dinner to several thousand people and marveled over the Home Depot-purchased turkey fryer the Food Flood team was using to keep the soup piping hot in the crisp November air. He also spoke of Occupy's desire to establish a more permanent kitchen in the area once the immediate need was past. The teams exchanged information and made plans to join forces for their future efforts.
And as for that soup: Erma Ribera, a Red Hook Houses resident who had just had her power and water restored, shyly accepted a cup of the ribollita from a Food Flood Volunteer as she waited in line for pupusas. A smile broke out across her face. She kissed her fingers and blew it toward the team, "This is beautiful soup. God bless you. God bless you."
And with that, warm soup was suddenly the hottest commodity in cold, dark Red Hook.
What's needed:
According to Judelman and Aviram, the greatest needs in their kitchen are for hot, prepared vegetables and protein, lidded take-out containers, food for kitchen staff and hot coffee. Donations can be dropped off at Calvary Baptist Church of Red Hook at 773 Hicks Street in Brooklyn by 11 a.m. for lunch or 4 p.m. for dinner.
Hot food donations for the Red Hook Initiative can be coordinated through this online form or through the contacts available on their website.
Occupy Sandy needs for additional disaster zones outside of Red Hook are updated regularly at InterOccupy.net and the group has also established an Occupy Sandy's Wedding Registry at Amazon for people outside the immediate area to offer assistance.
NYC Food Flood can be found on Twitter or by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City is accepting Sandy-specific donations through the city's website.

In my second year as a newspaper publisher, a lady called to share her disgruntlement with a columnist our newspaper published.
She did not share this man's view and somewhat comic approach regarding the talk of melting ice on the poles of our globe and the good things that could come of it.
The columnist had a great following as a syndicated writer and his fans enjoyed his wit and ironic twists on national issues.
But the lady on the phone did not agree with his writing, wit, and did not see any irony whatsoever.

Officer Robert Price was placed on paid administrative leave Thursday, which is standard procedure when an officer is charged.
The Adams County District Attorney's office spent three weeks investigating the shooting death of a dog named Chloe.
A neighbor took cell phone video of the dog's death, which is now a key piece of evidence in the criminal investigation.
Chloe's final moments are too painful for the dog's owner, Gary Branson, to watch.
"This makes no sense. Just a waste of a good life," Branson said.
Branson left Chloe with a family member in Commerce City last month, and she got loose on Nov. 24. Neighbors called Commerce City police, reporting an aggressive animal.
WATCH: Raw video of police killing dog [Graphic]
As police arrived, a neighbor took cell phone video from an upstairs window. The video shows officers had Chloe restrained, when witnesses say the dog was scared and tried to run away.
Officer Price fired five shots, killing the animal.
"I really can't find the words to describe it," Branson said.
Commerce City communications director Michelle Halstead says the police department brought in the Adams County District Attorney's office three days after the shooting, as community outrage grew over Chloe's death.
"We're making sure that there's an independent, transparent review of our actions," Halstead said.
A Facebook page for Chloe has more than 2,700 likes as supporters posted pictures and messages of support.
Vigils and protests were also held for the dog.
"Our thoughts have been and continue to be with the owner during this very difficult time," Halstead said.
A statement from the DA's office says a three week review led to a felony charge of aggravated cruelty to animals.
The statement says investigators interviewed 15 additional witnesses, collected new evidence, and attended the necropsy of the dog which included an expert in gunshot wounds.
Commerce City police are bringing in the Douglas County sheriff's office to investigate if any city policies were violated.
"Commerce City is committed to making sure our employees are well trained and prepared to respond to unpredictable emergency situations, while ensuring the safety and well being of our community. We look forward to Douglas County's objective conclusions and will work with the incoming police chief to take the appropriate next steps to positively move the police department forward and prevent such incidents from occurring in the future," Halstead said in a statement.
Officer Price is due in court on the animal cruelty charge in January.
At his home in Pueblo, Branson says it's hard to live with the pain of losing Chloe.
"The closest thing I've come to losing a family member. Every time I turn around she was there and now she's not," Branson said.

On Friday a section of the media, quoting newly appointed Finance Minister Dr William Mgimwa, reported that the Tanzanian economy was on the right track and performing very well.
The minister used crafted statistics and honeyed words to show that the country's economy was performing robustly, contrary to reports that it was actually in shambles.
While we understand and respect the right of the finance minister to defend the government he serves, we would like to strongly advise him that Tanzanians don't need honeyed words or crafted statistics aimed at defending the state's image before the public.
If sweets words, promises and crafted statistics were actions, then Tanzania wouldn't have been the same. But honeyed statements backed with crafted data don't put bread on the table or end the people's economic hardships.
The Finance Minister needs to understand that actions speak louder than words and hence Tanzanians expect him to solve their current economic problems. For instance, when the minister pledges to tame inflation, one may rightly want to know how he is going to do it. Or when he says that he will ensure the local currency is stable against major foreign currencies, the question is: how will he? What does he have up his sleeves that others before him were not aware of?
It's not our intention to question the integrity of the newly appointed Finance minister, but our concern is that being an academician-turned-politician seven years ago, he seemed to be falling into the trap of seeing everything politically at the expense of reality and truth on the ground.
For close to a decade now, Tanzanians have been waiting with baited breath for fulfillment of President Jakaya Kikwete's electoral promise of a better living for everyone, which was his rallying call in the 2005 campaign. What they expect today is certainly not sweeping political statements or crafted statistics, but workable solutions to the economic woes they face.
Skilled but unemployed Tanzanians, especially the youth, would like to see more jobs created by the economy. The struggling small-scale traders and hundreds others who are in the informal sector and are currently being treated like criminals in their own country would like to see their businesses recognized and formalised.
For these small-scale traders the government is now treating with utter disdain are the ones who voted for the ruling party; so in return they don't expect to be tear-gassed or shot at, but rather having their businesses formalised and a conducive environment put in place for their smooth operations.
Big investors also want to see the cost of doing business in Tanzania cut down, as well as low interest rates charged on loans by local banks so their businesses can expand and grow. It is only when businesses will flourish that more jobs for the skilled jobless can be created and also produce a broader tax base for the government.
Farmers want to increase yields per acre as well as access the market without undue barriers. What they need is affordable farming inputs and passable roads so they can easily transport their crops to the market.
In a nutshell, Tanzanians don't need endless lectures about the state of the country's economy. All they want is to be provided with the means to enable them put bread on the table for themselves and their families, pay school fees for their children, have better homes and better healthcare.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says there was no way he could avoid urging the Supreme Court to overturn California's ban on gay marriage.
Obama says the nation is going through the same type of evolution he has gone through about gay marriage. He says he's concluded the U.S. can't discriminate against gay couples and he felt it was important to express his views to the court.
He says the California law provides no basis for treating gay couples differently, other than they're not straight.
Obama spoke at a White House news conference the day after his administration on Tuesday filed a friend-of-the-court belief calling on the court to strike down California's Proposition 8 ballot measure.

(Sports Network) - In a matchup between two of the worst the Western
Conference has to offer, the Sacramento Kings will entertain the Minnesota
Timberwolves Thursday night at Sleep Train Arena.
The Kings have alternated wins and losses over the last six contests and are
coming off Tuesday's 116-101 victory over the playoff-bound Los Angeles
Clippers. Marcus Thornton scored 25 points and Toney Douglas added 19 for the
Kings, who got 17 points apiece from DeMarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans.
Thornton buried 6-of-10 3-pointers and Douglas hit 3-of-5 from downtown.
"It felt good," Douglas said of his performance. "It would have been just as
good if somebody else would have hit them, as long as we win. If we win, I'm
Sacramento made 50.7 percent of its shots and hit 14-of-28 3-pointers. Cousins
has posted double-doubles in each of his last three games.
The Kings, winners of back-to-back games as the host, are 18-15 at home and
will play three of four road games after hosting the Wolves.
Minnesota is mired in an eight-game road losing streak and opened a three-game
western junket with Monday's 92-77 loss at Memphis.
Alexey Shved had a team-high 12 points, while Mickael Gelabale and J.J. Barea
scored 11 points apiece for the Wolves, who have dropped 11 of 14 games
overall and fell to 7-26 away from the Twin Cities.
"The first six to seven minutes of the third quarter they just jumped on us,
and we never really responded the right way," said Minnesota center Nikola
Pekovic, who had nine points and five rebounds in his second game back since
missing eight in a row because of injury.
Minnesota guard Ricky Rubio left the game after coming down awkwardly on a
fast break with about three minutes to go in the third quarter. He went to the
locker room briefly with a minor groin strain. Rubio never returned and
tallied just two points and two assists.
Rubio is probable against the Kings.
The Timberwolves will end the trip Friday at Phoenix and have taken the first
two matchups with Sacramento this season. Minnesota has won four of the last
six encounters with the Kings and has never swept a season series against
Despite a 97-89 victory at Sacramento on Nov. 27, the Wolves have still
dropped seven of 10 meetings in California's capital city.

Robin comes to a POPCORNS meeting, and invites Santa over. Santa is delighted -- nobody's ever invited him before. However, on Christmas Eve, Mrs. Claus calls Kermit, and tells him that Santa broke a runner on the sleigh, and can't come over. Everyone is disappointed, but Miss Piggy saves the day by dressing up as "Mother Christmas". (written by Jerry Juhl, illustrated by Bruce McNally)

Gay couples can legally marry in Maine as of today. The state was one of three to legalize gay marriage through a ballot initiative in November. As Samantha Fields reports, the first couple married at City Hall in Portland shortly after midnight.
Well-wishers greet gay couples arriving early this morning at Portland City Hall to get marriage licenses - and to get wed.
Michael Snell and Steven Bridges have been together for nine years, and today became the first gay couple to legally marry in Maine.
They were wed by Vital Records Clerk Christine Horne. "By the power vested in me by the state of Maine, I now pronounce you married. You are legally married. Congratulations!"
More than a dozen couples got marriage licenses in Portland between midnight and 3:00 a.m., and a handful married on the spot. The town of Falmouth also opened at midnight for the occasion, and several other cities and towns, including Bangor, Brunswick and Augusta, have special hours today.
Michael Snell and Stephen Bridges are Maine's first gay couple to become legally married.
Couples wait in line at Portland City Hall to get marriage licenses.
Jamous Lizotte and Steven Jones, who have been together for nine years, get a marriage license at Portland City Hall.
