Skip to comments.Food Bank distributed record number of weekend backpacks to hungry kids
Posted on 05/27/2013 7:24:39 PM PDT by Nachum
The Kansas Food Bank gave out record numbers of Friday food packages to schoolchildren in Wichita and throughout the state this year as part of its Food 4 Kids program. The highest number of backpacks of food handed out to needy school children was 7,158 during a week in February, said Larry Gunkel, a Food Bank official running the program. (Snip) The program ensures that students identified by school staff as chronically hungry can get a backpack of food on Fridays for the weekend. Teachers and school social workers have told the Food Bank

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
See how that works?
I just have to prep the soil, plant the seeds I saved, weed around the food, and then harvest and process it.
I get free tobacco the same way.
I thank God every day for my daily bread... but I still get to bake it.
Isn't this what food stamps are supposed to be for?
'Cuz mommy sold the food stamps for crack/meth money. Mommy probably then raids the food backpack for what she wants and gives the kid what's left.
The food pantries in my old hometown of La Crosse, Wisc. prate about all the hungry people in La Crosse because when they give away free food, many people show up. Imagine that...people taking something for free. That's shocking. Then walk around La Crosse and try to find people who are truly hungry. You might be looking a long time. But you will see many people who look like finding enough to eat has not been a problem for them.
If we expelled every wetback currently in the country the unemployment rate would be cut in half and the underemployment rate would be cut to a similar degree.
Food stamps
Breakfast and lunch at school
Now backpacks for the weekend
What's wrong with this picture?
Shouldn't food stamps take care of all this?
Why the double and triple redundancy?
Wasn't the government able to waste enough money on just food stamps? Didn't the school breakfast and lunch programs put them over the top of the goal to waste money? If not are we now to expect the backpacks to do it?
Next it will be a family van filled with food every three months.
And then it'll be a free semi filled with food for every four member family once every six months.
And then it'll be a cruise with all you can eat buffets for three days once a year.
And so it goes, at sunset in America.
They should make the parents have weigh-ins — since I'm guessing most of them are not height-weight proportionate (unless they're methheads).
If the parents are too fat, let the Communist govt take their kids, since that's who's already raising them anyway.
This is for kids who, through no fault of their own, live with crappy parents. They eat free lunches during the week...and the backpack feeds them over the weekend. Most of the funding comes from business donations, religious groups, and local taxpayers. The food is deliberately 'nutritional'...which means - bland enough that mom and uncles and cousins won't take it all.
Sadly, most of these kids will grow up to be non productive members of society: but, while they are still kids, my charitable side supports giving them food.
There is no such thing as free food. This is something that someone will, someday, learn the hard way.
There isn't going to be enough "backpacks" in the world for them to hand out once El Gangstas Ocho pass their amnesty debacle. There are going to be more "hungry kids" than you can shake a stick at.
take care of your own...your family, your friends, your neighbors....trust your own instincts when it comes to charity...
I know .. you answered it.
This is exactly what happens. Exactly. I cannot stress how exact this is. The only addition I'd make is "Mommy and her boyfriend then raid the food backpack for what they want and give the kid what is left."
You don't need to to do that...all you need to do is REMOVE STATE-FUNDED WELFARE/EBT's and they won't be setting foot here.
That's only for real worthless Americans called Holder's peeps..
Yea, but their parents sold the food stamps for drugs and the kids are hungry.
Now the parents won't have to buy any food for their kids at all. They get school breakfasts, lunches and dinners, and now weekend food. THe same parents walking around with paid obamaphones or smartphones, newer and more expensive cars than I am driving, -
What the hell is this ocuntry coming to. This has to end. this wealth redistribution must end. It has to end. People need to take care of themselves and their own. Get charity from their churches and private groups. Not other responsible peoples' earnings confiscated by government and turned over to them for NO legitimate moral reasons whatsoever.
Unfortunately I know too because my ex DIL spends all the really great child support, works parttime in the evening, goes out all night, sleeps all day, goes on vacations w/o the kids, supports worthless guys, all while my grandchildren would go without and are raising themselves.
I buy all of their clothes, I tried giving them money to keep for important stuff but their mother just takes it away, I pretty much buy them everything they need. Thank God for the internet because they live 2000 miles away. I have found out that for local businesses, they will gladly take my credit card if I call ahead and explain what is going on, like for extra-curricular expenses that have to be purchased at a certain store.
I don't think she's on drugs, she just drinks too much and is selfish and only thinks about herself. But hey, the courts decided it was in the kids best interest to live with their mother and move across the country even though it was clear in court that she was irresponsible with money when they had a perfectly stable father who was ready and willing to raise them.
She won't even let my granddaughter drive her car so that she can learn to drive and get her driver's license.
People say to call CPS but if there isn't obvious physical abuse they won't do a thing.
I heard many similar divorce stories before. I knew one guy who got a divorce from an arsonist, convicted multiple times, and he still didn't get custody of the children. The mother of his children also had a boyfriend convicted of child molestation charges. Hopefully, your ex isn't as bad as this ex-wife.
Don't forget "government cheese" or commodity foods, food banks, soup kitchens, welfare monies, etc., etc...
You're right. Our public schools — courtesy of federal dollars — has a summer lunch program. Anyone — absolutely anyone — under 18 can show up and eat free. Over 18 can eat for $2.50. They shout it from the rooftops and encourage one and all to come because... the number of free meals they give away this year determines how many federal dollars they'll get next year. And 'round and 'round it goes...
In Kansas? Isn't that a Republican mecca? I can't believe that the governor and state house and senate have their state in this condition. I don't think red states should be having these issues especially a state that has been red for decades. Get rid of the leadership in Kansas and replace with other conservatives.
I wish they had some pictures cause my bet is that some of these kids are the ones Moochelle is targeting with her "Let's Move, you fat kids" program.
The problem is this..
We have created a sub-culture of people who do not believe that hard work is worth the reward of being paid and the satisfaction that comes from being self reliant.
And when benefits to this group are cut, it is the kids who suffer as big mama is going to make sure her needs are being met first. KIds aren't gifts from God but a way of getting more benefits.
I really do believe the only hope for this country is to retrain this subculture to embrace the ideals of work=pay=freedom. Just how can we do that when we have several generations raised at the government trough?
This is not an issue of a poor economy or conservative/liberal area. It is quite simply very poor parenting. I live in a small town in the Midwest. The schools send home about 40 backpack supplements each weekend. This is probably out of 600 middle school and elementary school students.
When a child comes to school hungry, his parent should be called to the school to find out why. Social services should not stop until they investigate the situation.
More charity should not be doled out until it could be verified as necessary.
Sorry, lazy mothers are not an excuse for more hand outs.
...etc, etc, etc, etc...

She says that her first subject is Rose, and she shows a before and after picture of her pregnant belly and what the revitol did for her.
I later found these exact same photos on google photos that she had scooped up and used on her website.
I was conned into thinking that revitol had a six month guarantee, but It only has a one month guarantee...Which I found out when it was too late.
I wasted $140.00 on six measly two ounce jars of a junk cream that did not deliver what it promised. I watched in dismay as my skin tore apart. (I drank tons of water, ate fresh veggies, had good nutrition, and did not gain weight too fast)
The main ingredients in revitol stretch mark prevention are: Squalene, vitamin d3, cocoa butter, vitamin e, aloe vera, hydrolyzed collagen.
All these ingredients you can order from a reputable nutritional supplements dealer such as nutrition geeks and make your own cream, and get twice the amount.
eight months after my son has been born, I have a wrinkled up belly, (and I live in bikini country Hawaii) But exfoliation, followed by lanolin and vitamin e have faded the purple completely.
The moral is: If you stretch Marked easily during puberty, you will also during pregnancy...but pure vitamin e is worth the results.
Avoid trilastin like the plague, however, I got my money back from them at least.
Please save your money, ladies!

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel do Pozzi Venice
This is the one!
I was responsible for booking a hotel in Venice for my husband and myself, as well as 2 fellow travelers. It was a challenging assignment and after HOURS of reading and re-reading reviews, I decided upon Hotel do Pozzi. What an excellent selection. Location, location, location! It is a short walk to the beautiful Piazza San Marco. Our first trip to Venice was brief, but a pure delight. This small hotel was comfortable, cool, clean, quiet, friendly, cozy, and all I had hoped for. The courtyard, where breakfast was served, was an added bonus and the food was perfect to start off the day. We were here for only 36 hours the end of July 2004 but I plan to return and will once again, choose Hotel do Pozzi. STOP reading reviews, this is the one!
Pleasant Hotel
My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay here on July 21 and 22. The hotel is in a great location just a short walk from St. Mark's square. The room was very cute and clean, and the bathroom was small but spotlessly clean and appeared updated. The service was good and quite friendly and able to communicate to us in English. The air conditioning could have been stronger in our room, but it was not uncomfortable. We would definately stay here again.
Location, location, location (and charming, too.)
Hotel Do Pozzi is a charming place to stay and the location is excellent! We got off the vaporetto and it was close by on a upscale street by Campo Maria d. Giglio. Tod's, Bally, Gucci, Prada. Very central and safe. Close to San Marco.
Even though Calle Marzo is busy (and fashionable), Hotel Do Pozzi is down a little pathway off the street that leads to an open courtyard with tables where you can enjoy your breakfast. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Another posting said it was hard to find. Just keep your eyes open for a sign pointing out the hotel. We didn't miss it at all, but it is not directly on the street. The rooms were pleasant and clean. I definitely recommend it.
Lovely stay
We just returned from Venice and stayed at the Hotel Do Pozzi based on the reviews from the site. My husband and I were completely pleased with everything the hotel had to offer. When we first arrived, the desk clerk said he was going to put us in the annex, which made my heart sink. The annex was a pleasant surprise! It is separated from the main hotel but has lovely big rooms with huge baths, including a jacuzzi tub. The location was perfect for being a first-time tourist to Venice. We were shocked at how easily we were able to navigate the city. We ate the included breakfast at the hotel each morning before we set out to explore the city and fell in love with Venice!
Excellent Choice
I had a single room on the courtyard side. Everything worked well (including a/cand laptop connection to the net) and you just had to remember, as anywhere in Venice, to close the window at night (or buy some mozzie spray!). It was my first full week in Venice, and I found this an ideal base and location for exploring, setting out each day after a pleasant breakfast in their private courtyard.
Aircon problems
Well located hotel but many rooms undergoing refurbishment which may mean, as we found, you get a room where the air conditioning is not connected and possibly (again as we found) with drying plaster walls which stink. Lack of aircon makes for unpleasant overnight experience in hot weather - room temperatures get very high - opening windows to reduce temperature makes little difference and if it's because you have to clear the air it will let in a lot of city noise. This is not a hotel for light sleepers to gamble on. The hotel management are not sympathetic to these problems and despite advertising and confirming advance bookings as having air conditioning only give (grudgingly) nominal discounts.
Always Returning to the Do Pozzi
This hotel must be one of the best kept secrets in Venice. There is a
discreet sign pointing to what appears to be a small courtyard but
little else to give the fact away that here is a beautiful small hotel.
We travel to Venice about four times a year and we have never stayed
anywhere else other than the Do Pozzi. The staff are friendly and very
efficient, they always remember us and slow down their speed when they
speak to us in Italian. The breakfast room is small and intimate and
there is an excellent selection of breads, preserves, cereals etc. The
rooms are quiet and exude calm. However it is the location that we can
never believe. Piazza San Marco is but five minutes away and my wife
and I often take a very early morning or late night walk to the square
when it is very peacful (except for the nagging worry that one might be
accosted by a knife wielding dwarf in a red plastic raincoat). La
Fenice is only a few yards away and we hope to go to a performance
there when it reopens. To get to La Fenice one walks past a small
eating/drinking place called Vino Vino that does excellent food.
Walking from the Do Pozzi in the opposite way to San Marco one soon
reaches the Academia. One the way is Bar Maurizio an excellent place
for a sandwich and glass of wine.
We are sure that other hotels may be grander and bear prestigious names; they may have views over the Grand Canal or boast their own private water taxes but a hotel as excellent as the Do Pozzi, in its location and at the price charged make us believe that we will never stay anywhere else. We stayed there in October and are returning for a long birthday weekend in January. We cannot wait
Our favourite hotel
We visit Venice twice every year, and always stay at the do Pozzi: in fact, we book our next stay before we leave! The staff are friendly and very helpful, the hotel has a cosy, warm atmosphere and the rooms are well-equipped. The do Pozzi is in easy walking distance of St Mark's Square, the Rialto and the Accademia gallery. We wouldn't stay anywhere else!
Great location
We have stayed at the Do Pozzi and recommended it to friends. We have never been disapointed. The perfect location that can't be beat at any price. Not many view rooms but everything is clean and neat. Good service and a charming breakfast courtyard. Be ready for a three block walk from the vaporati stop and a turn down a hard to find alley , worth the search.
Fantastic hotel in the perfect location
Only a couple of minutes walk to St Marks Square, this hotel was in the centre of all the action. The entrance of the hotel is down a small alley off a busy thoroughfare so it is a little hard to find unless you know what to look for.
The alleyway opens up into a gorgeous courtyard where breakfast was served. This courtyard is the highlight of this hotel. We were in Venice in the middle of summer and the courtyard made for a cool and relaxing place to sit and regain some energy after spending the morning or afternoon sightseeing. Despite the busy street the hotel and courtyard are very quite.
The rooms are large and clean and the staff are very efficient. There was even a gelati bar just around the corner.
We stayed in Venice for five nights and found this hotel to be the perfect place to stay in a very unique city.

Knee Deep in Water!!
... shopping and bought vaporetto tickets to get us to the island of Burano. A vaporetto is water transportation that holds probably 100+.
It was beginning to rain; so, out came the umbrellas. The walk to catch the vaporetto was on sidewalks pretty much level with the tiny waterways in Murano. As the rain continued and high tide came in, we watched the water washing up onto the sidewalks. I don't mean ...
Prima Donnas
... we consider to be poor value.
Friday 31st July
We awoke this morning to a cooler day, a pleasant breakfast and a boat ride ...
... music everywhere, along with the many grand and beautiful buildings create an atmosphere that is enticing, magical and a little mysterious, even in hot weather. We spent quite a bit of time on a number of occasions in St Mark's Square, listening to music and people watching. At night it was quite magical. We visited St Mark's Basilica, the Doges' Palace (Palace Ducale), Bridge of Sighs, MuseoCorrer, Museo Archeologico, Murano, ...
First full day in Venice
Walked ourselves this morning then joined a walking and gondola tour this afternoon... Just for Bryan's birthday! The walk took us everywhere, but we didn't seem to get many pics... Maybe too busy looking? St Mark's Square is huge, and very very busy, people everywhere. The buildings here are ornate and beautiful, reflecting I think what Venice is. Quiet birthday dinner - Bryan still not feeling ...

His masks have been in many films including Eyes Wide Shut. We chose and purchased many masks from this lovely man who shipped them all home for us in a box! Very convenient!! It was this night that would be our final night with our intrepid group. The next morning the intrepid tour would be over. ...

NOPD: Second district officers seek help ahead of several planned anti-abortion protestsUPDATED 6:49 PM CDT Jul 16, 2014
The New Orleans Police Department says it has stepped up security measures near both Planned Parenthood sites.Video Transcript
FACILITY SAET TO BE BUILT UPTOWN... IS STIRRING THE ABORTION DEBATE.. AND CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR POLICE OFFICER. THREE ANTI-ABORTION PROTESTS ARE SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE BETWEEN JULY 19TH AND 26TH.. AND THE NOPD SAYS IT WILL NEED HELP FROM OTHER DISTRICTS TO HELP CONTROL THE CROWDS. WDSU REPORTER TRAVERS MACKEL IS LIVE AT 6.. WITH MORE ON WHAT THE NOPD IS DOING TO PREPARE FOR THE ANTI-ABORTION PROTESTS ... THE NOPD SAYS IT'S STEPPED UP SECURITY MEASURES NEAR BOTH PLANNED PARENTHOOD SITES ... AND THAT GROUP SAYS THESE PROTESTS WILL NOT DETER THEM FROM THEIR MISSION. CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY AT THE NEW 7000 SQUARE FOOT PLANNED PARENTHOOD FACILITY ON S. CLAIBORNE AVENUE UPTOWN. BUT THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION - OPERATION SAVE AMERICA IS TRYING TO MAKE SURE IT NEVER GETS COMPLETED. BASED ON COMMENTS FROM THEIR WEBSITE - THAT ORGANIZATION WILL STAGE PROTESTS HERE AND POSSIBLE AT THE PLANNED PARENTHOOD OFFICE ON MAGAZINE THIS SATURDAY. Nats BRANDY GIRAUD LIVES JUST BLOCKS AWAY FROM ONE THE SCHEDULED EVENTS. i guess everyone has the right to protest to express what they stand for. OPERATION SAVE AMERICA OPPOSES ABORTION AND SAYS THE PROTEST IS A "BATTLE FOR THE HEART AND SOUL OF NEW ORLEANS." A PLANNED PARENTHOOD SPOKESPERSON SAYS THEY'RE WELL AWARE OF THE GROUP'S PLANS, SAYING: "These protests are designed to intimidate communities and the many patients who rely on Planned Parenthood for basic health care services including lifesaving cancer screenings, testing for HIV, treatment for sexually transmitted infections and family planning and birth control. The bottom line is women should be able to get health care without fear of violence, harassment or intimidation." PLAN NED PARENTHOOD SAYS IT'S WORKING WITH THE NOPD AND THE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMS THAT ADDITIONAL SECURITY MEASURES WILL BE IN PLACE AT BOTH LOCATION - INCLUDING ADDITIONAL OFFICERS, A BOOKING VAN AND BARRICADES. we caught up with a security expert who laid out what the police plan may include for additional security this weekend. what happens is special units go out and get blueprints of these centers they look at that and set up and monitor and make sure these protests are peaceful and do not get involved unless they have get involved in it. i think it;s good police are here just to make sure things don't get outta hand. TO READ THE FULL STATEMENT FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD GULF COAST, LOG ONTO WDSU.COM IN THE UNITED STATES, LEGALIZED ABORTION IS STILL BASED LARGELY ON COURT RULINGS FROM THE 1970's. ON JANUARY 22ND, 1973 -- A LANDMARK WIN FOR THOSE BACKING ABORTION RIGHTS. THE SUPREME COURT'S RULING IN ROE V. WADE -- A SUIT FILED BY A SINGLE, PREGNANT TEXAS WOMAN -- IS ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN OF THE 21ST CENTURY. ON JUNE 17, 2003 -- NORMA McCorvey -- ALSO KNOWN AS JANE ROE -- FILED TO HAVE THAT DECISION REVERSED -- NEARLY 30 YEARS LATER -- CITING NEW EVIDENCE THAT SHE BELIEVED SHOWED ABORTIONS HURT WOMEN. BUT ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2004, THE 5TH U.S. DISTRICT COURT -- HERE IN NEW ORLEANS -- DISMISSED THAT MOTION. SO THE INITIAL RULING REMAINS A DEFINING ONE WHEN IT COMES TO THE LAW.

"Vali Nasr's new paradigm about the rise of a new Muslim middle class will be embraced by a broad spectrum of experts: because it is a startling truth hiding in plain sight that Nasr brilliantly reveals and elaborates." -- Robert D. Kaplan, author of Balkan Ghosts and Imperial Grunts
"With his unique credentials and bold insights, Vali Nasr has written a landmark work at a pivotal time. It's a rich and exciting read." -- Robin Wright, author of Dreams and Shadows: The Future of the Middle East
"In this fascinating and timely book, Vali Nasr argues lucidly that free trade, not sanctions, is the key to a democratic awakening in the Muslim world. Forces of Fortune seems bound to be influential." -- Jon Lee Anderson, author of The Fall of Baghdad
"Take American chips away from the endlessly hypocritical and fruitless diplomatic games and rhetoric, our weakest hand, and put the chips on our strength -- helping Middle Eastern and Muslim countries with economic growth. That's the way to ultimately defeat the terrorists, build the middle classes, loosen ties to Arab autocrats, and develop democracies. That's Vali Nasr's brilliant message. It's the only way to rescue U.S. foreign policy from disasters." -- Leslie H. Gelb, former New York Times columnist and senior government official, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations
"Nasr has written a rewarding and impressive book. He is a lively guide to a maze of issues that rarely get discussed, and he uses the fruits of his wide travels in the Middle East with great skill … full of knowing insights and subtle personal portraits. Judging by this book, it is no mystery that Nasr has risen to such prominence in U.S. government circles as a preeminent explainer of the complex phenomena that define the modern Middle East."
—Foreign Affairs
"Vali Nasr's important new book helps us understand the positive power of commerce in the Muslim world. He shows how growing economies and a new business class will be more important than extremist ideologies in determining how the Middle East interacts with the world. This is a wonderful combination of historical analysis and insightful reporting."
—Walter Isaacson, CEO of The Aspen Institute and author of Kissinger: A Biography
"In recent years, much of the discussion about the Muslim world has focused on the role of Islam in politics, especially the rise of extremist groups. In this informative book, Middle East expert Nasr challenges our commonly held assumptions about the dynamics of the contemporary Middle East. Relying on examples from countries ranging from Iran to Turkey and Pakistan, he demonstrates that that is a commercial revolution in the Muslim world fueled by the emergence of dynamic and upwardly mobile middle-class entrepreneurs and reformers…It is this "critical mass," he says, that will define the contours of Middle Eastern politics and the broader Muslim world and not the marginal extremists that have dominated news coverage of the region. This book should be read by all concerned citizens and policymakers in the West."
—Library Journal
"Nasr offers a fresh look at the future of religious extremism in the Middle East. He posits that a rising middle class is far more interested in economic success than in fervent religiosity. Nasr's analysis … is well-argued and deserves close attention."
—Publishers Weekly
"[A] humane and clear-eyed narrative…"
—Harvard Business Review

Provodnikov Eyes Rios-Chaves Winner, Bradley For Nov.
Philadelphia, PA-The "Siberian Rocky" Ruslan Provodnikov (23-3, 16 KO's) will be watching tonight's HBO's Boxing After Dark card from Las Vegas with a added interest as a potential fall opponent could emerge from the two fights that will be held at the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino.
In the opening bout, WBA Super Lightweight champion Jesse Vargas (24-0, 9 KO's) will defend his title against Anton Novikov (29-0, 10 KO's) while in the main event Brandon Rios (31-2-1, 23 KO's) Squares off with Diego Chaves (23-1, 19 KO's) in a Welterweight bout.
"I look forward to this Saturday's fight card on HBO. I know that there is a possibility that I will be back in the ring in November and the opponents being considered are the winner of Rios vs. Chaves, the winner of Vargas vs. Novikov, as well as a rematch with Timothy Bradley. All these are great options for me and I'm curious to see who the winners are this weekend. ", said Provodnikov
The HBO card will begin at 9:45 ET / PT and will also feature a WBO Light Heavyweight title bout between Sergey Kovalev and Blake Caparello from Atlantic City that will complete the split side tripleheader.

Chocolate Cherry Oat Bars
Yep, these chocolate cherry oat bars taste as amazing as they look… soft bars filled with tart cherries and wholesome oats. Covered in a dark chocolate glaze. My friends, I'm happy to bring this recipe to you from my own brain! I created it a couple of years ago after my blender recipe for peanut butter brownies were not a favorite among my peanut allergy friends. So, I adapted the recipe with dried cherries and water for the peanut butter, a dark chocolate ganache on top and a more conventional way to prepare them using a regular mixer. The recipe […]Read More
Farmhouse Renovation Week 5 (Foundation, Attic and School Starts)
Well, this week didn't go as planned. At this point I thought we would have our siding almost done and our roof on the house. That did not happen. We had a couple of hiccups along the way. Some out of our control and some mistakes made. This project should be stressing me out more than it is. However, I know we'll get there. It's just a matter of when. My oldest starts school on Monday. Our original goal when we started the process of buying the home last spring was to be moved in by his first day. Well, […]Read More
How To Chalk Paint Furniture
Have you ever wanted to change up your furniture? Let me show you how to chalk paint furniture. We received a cherry vanity from dear friends cleaning out family treasures. At the time, I didn't have a specific need for it, but its reminder of my own mother's vanity (where she put her makeup on every morning) along with its ornate look and character, I knew I could find a need! The top was bit scratched and stained, so before we displayed it in our bedroom, my husband refinished the top and I recovered the seat. That was nearly two […]Read More
Farmhouse Renovation Week Four (Original Siding and Clean Up)
We just could not do this project without my family. While it feels like a dream for all of us that we get to keep this house in the family, I know that it would not be possible without the countless hours my family is putting in to help us get there. I know we could not do it without them. Renovation is not for the faint of heart. As I was scrubbing more wallpaper glue off the walls this weekend with my sister who drove down with her family to help, I thought about the HGTV shows I've watched […]Read More

Favorite Adventure Boat
Posted 12 April 2006 - 04:32 AM
Posted 12 April 2006 - 07:10 AM
My initial choice would be 5976 The River Expedition. Its big and has a cool deck.
But I love the idea of a huge Cargo Ship, something like in King Kong, like in 5975 T-Rex Transport... although it could have been made better in my opinion. Definately should have been more like 6542 Launch & Load Seaport's cargo ship... it needed a better bridge.
But 7410 is VERY well done for the tiny size. I would have liked it to be a little bigger actually... a small little steam boat with a little more room for Johnny to Move around.
My vote will go to the River Expedition. I also really like the mast on it.
The Emperors ship is also very cool, but I am voting for my favourite ADVENTURER vote... and the Emperors ship definately feels more Castle/Pirate too me!.
Posted 12 April 2006 - 09:37 AM
However, the exception would have to be 7416 Emperor's Ship as some thought has been put into its creation. The hull has been built up with carefully selected slopes to give the vessel a nice sleek appearance and the red works well with the black and tan elements. A sail has even been designed for the ship giving it a greater sense of completion wheras its counterparts in other sets look like a mere after thought of what can be done with a few pieces.
So 7416 Emperor's Ship gets my vote by far.
Posted 12 April 2006 - 02:42 PM
The Emperor's ship is a very nice model as well (this was close for me). I esp. like the colors, secret cargo compartment, and the Emperor's guard figs.
The little boat in 7410, Jungle River is a great little boat, nicely designed with a lot of detail for a small little set (plus it came with a croc). And for a very small set, Mike's Swamp Boat is among my favorites for just a few pieces (and Mike's a neat fig with his slingshot torso).
I liked the concept behind 5975 T-Rex Transport, the ship is long, but not very detailed. The Dino Island sets just weren't very good.
Maybe I'll do a pic review sometime of River Expedition and the Emperor's Ship as a "Blast from the Past".
Posted 12 April 2006 - 05:25 PM
I have difficulties choosing from the two I have.
First there is the small Jungle River boat. I love this small set ! The design is really neat with his chimney and old fashion cokpit and the place for the front crate.
But it faces the wonderfull Emperor's ship (I just love the Chinese sets !!). I love its sail, and colour pattern. Plus you have fantastic MFs !!
I will vote for the Jungle River for the same reason as Brickster (I will just quote him hehe): "because it is more an Adventure boat" !!
Also it has great playability for a small price *sweet*
Posted 12 April 2006 - 10:11 PM
Hmmm...this means I'm agreeing with Phes.
I think I just heard the 477th seal of the apocalypse open.
Posted 13 April 2006 - 02:08 AM
I agree with him as well regarding the +s of the Emperor's Ship but disagree in regard to his comment about most of the other ships looking dismal. They just don't have sails like those rat-infested pirate ships he use to.
Posted 13 April 2006 - 08:45 PM
the emperers ship doesn't seam like an adventures set to me... it just dosen't fit with the theme. i always felt that the orient expedition should have been more like the desert theme... where the adventurers go and research old forgotten civilitations... even the jungle theme played on this well, as johnny went and discovered the ancient mayans.
emperors ship and dragoon fortress seem more like they fit in the ninja theme somewhere. even the dragon fortress seems more like a castle set than an adventures set, therefore fitting into the ninja theme (a castle subtheme).
let me explain...
the orient expedition (and most definitely the emperors ship) are more like the civilization is still alive, and some how johnny went back into time to confront this ancient culture. they didn't really play up the discovering ancient ruins like in the desert and jungle themes.
here is a good way to breat it down...
their are three forces in the adventures themes... one is the good guys (johnny thunder, dr. lightning, gail storm, harry cane... so forth). then there is the bad guys (sam sinister, max villano, ect.). then there is the natural element force (hotep, achu, dinosaurs, or the emperor).
the good guys vs. the bad guys play out very well in the desert, jungle, and even the dino themes... the good archeologiest discover the ancient culture and its riches by battling the natural forces that protect them (hotep, achu, snakes, scorpions, the very terrain itself), while the bad archeologiest try to capture the riches from the good guys, and try to work against their efforts. all the while getting plundered by the natural forces.
well, in the orient expedition, the natural forces kinda out rule the bad archeologies. its kinda like the bad guys aren't even needed, cause the natural forces are so much more prominate (the yeti, tygurah, jun-chi, emperor, etc...)
well anyway, i never like the dragon fortress, or the emperors ship for that reason... i felt they strayed to far from the original concept of the adventures... and i really like the indiana jones rip off theme !!! it had so many facets (the three forces, good, bad, and natural), with so much conflict, and lots of adventure to play out.
i honestly thought the villians in the jungle theme were the best of all the adventures themes. that is the reason i voted for river expedition 5976 - brick miner
also, check out The LEGO Western Expansion MOC Page at MOCpages.com !!!
and Brick Miner's Extras BrickLink.com store !!!
Posted 14 April 2006 - 02:51 AM
But I think both sets were great additions to the Orient Expedition Adventurers theme and the Dragon Fortress an awesome set as well!

The T-Rex Transport Ship would be amazing if it had more detail and was like the big Nautical Town Sea Port sets... except retrofitted to the 1930s style and with a huge dinosaur. This idea made me think a KING KONG Lego Theme would be INCREDIBLY cool - think about it, we would have dinosaurs, 1930's vehicles, perhaps the bi-planes and if lego found a way to pull it off - an Empire State Building to minifig scale (lol, impossible, but even if they did just the top portion of it - now that would be cool!).
I disagree about the Dino Island sets. Some were crap (the glider, the big base), but I thought the 5935 Island Hopper(I have 2!), 5920 Island Racer(great 30's style racecar), 5934 Trackmaster (cool looking tank-kind of thing, at least from pictures... i don't own it :(), and 5975 T-Rex Transport(the boat at least) were all pretty cool sets! You also mentioned you liked Mike's Swamp boat. It had alot of potential and could have been better, but it still isn't bad! The Dino Research Compound and the All-Terrain Trapper sets were garbage, but 2 bad sets out of 15 sets(2 for 7 if you don't count promotional sets) is actually a good number!
yes Brickster! You definately should. I would love to see these reviewed... as I long for both of them...

I am on a train, I am not a fan of trains. Many people think the same. This is a very basic example of a social object. A simple yet powerful concept that can bring two or more people together to share and discuss their thoughts and experiences. To make connections with people we try and put some context around the person to enable the conversation to start and hopefully flow 'Where do you live? I know someone who lives there. What football team do you support? I prefer the other team in that city.' These are social objects and they bring people together. The concept of the social object was brought to my attention a while ago by Hugh Macleod who produces social objects in the form of his artwork. He also writes about them and I urge you to check out his work.
You will no doubt have seen his work in countless social media presentations 'If you talked to people the way advertising talks to them they would punch you in the face' and his most famous piece is probably Blue Monster where he challenged Microsoft to 'change the world or go home'. His work is designed to be used in presentations and Hugh encourages people to print out his work and display them in their work space. He has a name for these things 'Cube Grenades' little messages designed to say something about your attitude to work, life what ever to maybe act as a conversation starter (or killer). If you are richer than I then you can even order a nice print of them or if you are really rich/less of skinflint than me you could even commission your own work from Hugh. I myself have had a few (unpaid printouts) displayed on my desk to give me a smile/little bit of reassurance on those dark days. These social objects got me thinking about what the social objects of banking are?
Banking as it stands is a fairly private and solitary experience. Your financial situation is discussed with your nearest and dearest and maybe some experts on financial issues e.g. branch staff, an IFA etc. Data about your financial life seems to be as private for some as your health records. Should this be the case? For some it will always be the case for others I am not so sure. We may discuss at a high level some of our financial lives down at the pub or over dinner. We may get given a great stock tip from one of our savvy friends or an in the know cab driver. At first glance there may not be much else.
Without a doubt the biggest social object in the world of banking at the moment is banker bashing. The financial crisis and its ongoing ramifications have made banks and bankers figures of hate. From constant coverage in the media of the bonuses handed out to 'Those bloody bankers' to the protests against them by groups like UK Uncut. The world can come together and discuss how and why they hate banks very easily. While a lot of the action around the financial crisis is justified and needed to ensure changes and cuts do not go too far it needs to be made clear that not every banker is the same! Certainly when I tell people what my bonus was this year they are somewhat confused when they realise it is barely enough to take my family on holiday and that I am not ordering a new Lamborghini and buying a holiday home in the south of France. Another concept of Hugh's is the social marker a way of adding context to certain social objects. It could be thought of as a statement that defines in its purest terms what the object is about. The financial crisis has a very powerful social a social marker which frames the conversation by realting it very closely to a person. That person is Sir Fred Goodwin. Fred the Shred. He is the ultimate social marker in this regard but do some social markers add too much context to an argument or frame it in a closed way e.g. tar us poor bankers with the same brush?
The other classic social object for banking is charges. People love charges. Love them. OK maybe not. The sharing of charges made by banks is again something that is needed to ensure what the banks do remains fair. Some charges are justified some are not and are onerous. Sharing publicly more about these charges can help people see which organisations charge fairly and which do not. This maybe an area that banks are not keen to get involved with but the world is a place designed for sharing so they need to get used to it and behave accordingly. The bank that most openly shares their charges may well be seen as the most thoughtful and caring bank.
The sharing of financial data from financial systems is notoriously difficult for various reasons such as it is deemed to be risky (rightly so) and organisations might not be so keen to share it with other organisations. In my opinion at some point the ability to do so will become common place if not even a regulatory requirement, as it is in Germany. If we can make sharing of this data safer for both the customer and the organisation then the creation of social objects around banking will become much more widespread. So here are a few real world examples I have found on my online travels.
Blippy, a social network built around sharing what you had bought, recently declared they were on life support and were close to pulling the plug. Sharing what you have bought is a classic social object 'Oooh I love it I must also buy one! Dear God you paid how much for that?!'. I personally think Blippy died not because people were not keen to share what they had bought but because there was no safe way to do it (I have spoken before about the anti-password problem in banking) and because no one wants a social network just to talk about that one thing but if you input 'I just bought' into Twitter search I bet you get a high number of results.
BillGuard is another startup looking to get people to share what they have bought but instead of to discuss the item this time they want people to crowdsource safe/bogus transaction. Post a worrying looking charge on your credit card and people in the community can confirm whether they have also had this charge and are worried or other people can confirm what it is.
Instead of focusing on what you have bought the opposite is also a perfect social object, what you are saving for. SmartyPig in the US have implemented this perfectly. A quick search for #SmartyPigGoal on Twitter reveals what people are saving their hard earned cash for. A list of dreams, desires etc. etc. Saving for my dream wedding or 2013 Glastonbury tickets. If you so desire you can contribute to your friends savings goals to help them on their way of reaching their goal. Now if that is not a conversation starter I don't know what is. Or how about eToro Open Book a community that shows what currencies people are buying and selling the act of trading becomes a social object.
What about those in financial difficulty? The natural reaction maybe shame at getting into such a state but by hiding this away it can only make things worse. A problem shared is a problem halved. Money Saving Expert have created a fertile safe haven for people to share their debt situations and get advice from a community of strangers to help them out. By building a community around the saving of money from vouchers for money off to detailed guides on how to batter down the cost of your mobile contract or car insurance, Martin Lewis and staff have created the biggest, and most viewed financial community in the UK. The website alone is the most viewed site in the UK about financial matters. The forum is second. Third is the Financial Times. His weekly deals email is subscribed to by over a million and a half people. It is full of social objects. it is itself a social object.
Another form of social object is the person to person loan. Kiva provides a platform for people to request funding for small businesses in remote places. The social object is the desire for someone half way round the world to start a business. The other side of that social object is the desire to help someone out. I think the successful social objects around banking need to engender that desire to help or offer advice based on your own experiences.
HSBC ran a huge global campaign back in 2007 called Your point of view. Adverts splashed across the worlds airports, global press etc. featuring a set of images and a caption that worked on both images. Perfect conversation/thought provoking fodder. It was backed up by the usual microsite (now sadly closed) but did not really capitalise on the social objects it had created in the fact that they were not easily shared and there was no easy way to have a discussion around them. That being said the campaign managed to be excellently parodied as part of a spoof edition of the New York Times to commemorate the end of the Iraq War so it was obviously shareable enough. The Financial Brand did a nice writeup on the your points of view campaign.
Another example of things that organisations could make more of by making them social objects is the PDF report. Usually the byproduct of some glossy brochure/report that has been created with the primary function of being printed and sent to corporate or premium customers. Some of these are published online but just as PDFs and as such are not that shareable. A perfect example would be the recently published (and updated from 2009) future of business report by my employers. You can find the document along with others on the HSBC Business Publications page. What more could this have been? What elements that make up this report could be social objects in their own right? What about the raw data could it be published and shared? And what about the interviews that made up this report? Surely the super cities definition and how they were chosen could be a great source of debate, I mean it does not have Sheffield down as a super city and as everyone knows this is incorrect. (Disclaimer: I may be a tad biased on the Sheffield front)
These are just a few examples of the kinds of social objects I have seen but I am interested in what social objects will continue to arise and what social objects people would like to see from banks? The advice given in Hugh's piece is to be able to clearly define what your social object is. I am not really sure there is a definite social object for banking but looking at the verbs most readily associated with banking (spend, save, earn, invest, sell, advise, transact etc.) we can see where they might appear. So what do you see as the social objects in banking? Should there be more or should there be less? Should finance be a private thing best left to experts or something that should be shared and discussed on a global scale? Let's see if this social object can lubricate some conversations.
Would be ace (and terrifying) if money itself had the capability to be a social object (more so than it already is). I always remember the Daily Mail stat about the number of bank notes with cocaine residue on them, and it always come to mind when i'm using cash (for spending, not consuming). If banknotes and coins carried more history they'd become even more valuable. Imagine the £20 note that displayed it's spending history.
Personal Finance Management systems seem to be heading this way too. As an example, Meniga in Iceland has taken the Mint model and added social object aspects to managing your accounts – allowing you to compare your outgoings with friends, share savings tips etc.
It will be interesting to see how far people want to extend this with their finances – it's something that is traditionally so private that sharing these details still seems a little strange but, as you point out, moneysavingexpert shows that this attitude is changing, so perhaps the most exciting new social object in banking is that attitude that banking can be social (if you see what I mean…)
Great post, Aden!
Must have taken a quite a while to put together. well done.
The concept of Social Objects is interesting and will find resonance with any geeks reading it who are into Object Orientated Programming (OOP). OK, hands up. I admit I'm one. But banking as a social object?
Maybe not. OOP states that every object has properties. We discuss certain properties of banking – like when it goes wrong, but little of the data that it handles – I.E, money. Far too personal.
What's your salary?
No, don't tell me, don't want to know. No up for discussion. Nor are the rest of our financial details. Not social at all.
Bankers – that's banking execs – and golden people – not those at the coal face like you – are greedy and not even particularly good at their job, but perception is everything.
Fortunately that perception is being questioned. That's social object(ion). Slightly different from what you're talking about. Why are we so anti-banks?
Because for years they've sold us a very expensive service that provides few tangible returns of value. But most importantly, its all been based on perception. The perception of trust.
When they failed and turned to us, their customers, to bail them out, they destroyed that trust.
Banks became anti-social. And like any thug or criminal, that makes society very angry. Pure and simple.
Social coins might not be that far away. Check out these coins from the Netherlands that feature QR codes http://dvice.com/archives/2011/06/first-coins-wit.php
That form of social comparison might take off especially as it can be kept fairly private anyway while still having useful context (compare yourself to other 35 year old males who clearly drink too much instead of saving). I would like to see something shareable like an annual statement in the form of something beautiful like http://statigr.am/aden_76 obviously info about photos and finances are very different…but should they be?

At this point we looked online at the Big Red Kia website and checked to see what our trade-in was worth, their calculator said $1700 to $2100 in trade value. Next we filled out the online credit application to see if we qualified. I am self employed so qualification is difficult.
About a week and a half later I received a phone call saying that Big Red Kia approved us on the credit application. I then scheduled an appointment to see Big Red Kia on May 25th. We live about 100 miles from Big Red Kia, so it was quite a distance.
After a 6 hour process of being told time and time again that Big Red Kia couldn't approve our purchase of the 2012 Kia Soul, and trying to run different numbers to make the financing work, Big Red Kia finally said they could approve us for a 2010 Forte (used of course).
I think it was a combination of fatigue and emotional highs and lows from all the number running, but we finally just bought the 2010 Forte. This was a huge mistake! I should have known that if it was that hard to get the loan approval, we simply could not afford the car. This proved true a week later when I found out I was taking a 30% cut in net revenue.
That whole week, from June 4th to June 7th, I tried to find out why I was taking a cut in pay, and if there was anything I could do to fix it. I am still fighting that battle, but by the 8th I realized that even if I fought and won, at the new year I was still going to take the pay cut during contract renewal.
At this point I called Big Red Kia to explain I could no longer afford the vehicle. I never got the opportunity to explain because the Big Red Kia stand was "You bought the car, its yours!" To this date that is all I have ever heard from Big Red Kia. I was hoping for some option that didn't include me keeping the car, and more importantly the loan that went with the car.
The same day the finance company called me trying to verify my income. They actually listened to the whole situation, and some time later the next week decided not to finance the car at all. However, I did get a call from Big Red Kia on June 13th explaining it was my fault the finance company wouldn't finance the car and that I had been moved from bank financing to in-house Big Red Kia financing at the same rate and payment. Again Big Red Kia didn't want to hear how I could not afford the financing or the car, and had no solution except "You bought the car, its yours!"
On June 16th I returned the car to Big Red Kia and gave them a letter requesting return of my trade-in and the $2500 down payment. Big Red Kia said we would not do that and that they would treat this as a voluntary repossession and report it to the credit reporting agencies.
So as it stands now:
1) I have no car
2) I have no cash
3) And I have even worse credit than when I started

Social Networking for Ex-Lehman and Bear Stearns Workers
A year after Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, former workers keep in touch with each other on a niche social network called Forever Lehman. Strangely, it was founded by an ex-Bear Stearns employee.
Sanjeev Naraine spent eight years at Bear Stearns, most recently as a global vice president of videoconferencing. After being laid off in October 2007, the 31-year-old decided to create a network for his colleagues on the social-networking-creation site Ning, "almost like a virtual elevator where you can meet and say hi," he said. He launched Who Killed the Bear? in May 2008.
When Lehman went under, Mr. Naraine figured he might as well create something for its staffers too. "It was more of just a gut feeling that I should just reserve the [Forever Lehman] name, and if things get bad, I could just launch it," he said. "It was a pretty good guess on my part, anyways. And it only cost me a couple of bucks to buy the Web site."
He launched Forever Lehman in September 2008. It has since grown to about 2,700 members, more than Who Killed the Bear's 2,000. Forever Lehman has a big international presence, he said, with users from London, Mumbai and Singapore, in addition to New Yorkers.
"It's still a pretty tight circle among Lehman alumni," Mr. Naraine said. "Lots of messages are, 'I haven't spoken to you in a while, I'm working at J.P. Morgan right now.' It's one of the few platforms out there that's only for Lehman people."
Only members of the site can see what's on it, but Mr. Naraine says they post job opportunities and share information on networking and happy-hour events. Membership continues to increase, he says, in part because people join after their severance packages expire. "People are fearful of joining a group that might be critical of their organization or jeopardize their severance," he said.
For Mr. Naraine's part, he's gone back to school to finish his bachelor's degree in business administration at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn.
Forever Lehman is not the only online gathering place for Lehman alumni. They also have a Facebook presence, though most of the groups there appear to have been formed before the bank shuttered its doors. One group, RIP Lehman Brothers, based in London, appears to cater to alumni. It has 235 members, and its description is "To 158 years of fun while it lasted…." On the group's wall are interview requests for newspaper articles and documentaries, as well as a casting notice for a new reality show about unemployed fathers.
Renaud Fournier of New York posted a message on the group's wall about a new group he's forming for ex-Lehman employees whose severance payments have been terminated. "This group is designed for people in this situation to fight back and stay in touch regarding getting their severance payments and benefits re-instated," he wrote. So far, there are only two members.

They never show up for leaky windows, pipes or molding falling off the walls. They stink. Make sure you watch the construction of the home or you'll find yourself with the lease expiring on your current residence and high pressure threats to signoff on the dotted line releasing the rest of the money the bank has and an uninhabitable house.
This man is slick. Don't give him any upfront money without the work being completed. As a matter of fact I would never suggest anyone build with him. Why put yourself through the agony and dishonesty. If you build with him you will have a home that is cold, unfinished and you will have to live in a hotel for two to three months waiting for a completion date that never comes.
