UNOSJO and Indigenous Rights Featured in The Nation
By Saulo Araujo
July 26th, 2010
In a recent article in The Nation ("Retreat to Subsistence," July 5, 2010), Peter Canby describes the seminal work of one of Grassroots International's partners in Mexico, the Union of Organizations of the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca (UNOSJO). Using UNOSJO's work as an example, he explores the larger issue of of indigenous rights in Mesoamerica.
Grassroots International and Partners at the USSF in Detroit
By Alisa Pimentel
Among the almost 20,000 activists gathered in Detroit for the US Social Forum this week are several Grassroots International partners and allies. Grassroots International regularly provides funding to our partners and allies to participate in movement-building and leadership development gatherings.
A Victory for Human Rights: Marlin Mine in Guatemala Ordered to Shut
After tireless campaigning by the indigenous people of Guatemala and international solidarity organizations, including Grassroots International, the Goldcorp Marlin Mine has been ordered to shut by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. This is a huge victory for local Mayan residents who have fought for the past six years to hold Goldcorp accountable for appalling social and environmental problems caused by the mine. Grassroots International supported their struggle for justice by funding indigenous representatives to attend meetings with allies in Canada and the United States as well as hearings at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
Rural families in Central America Impacted by Tropical Storm Agatha
Thousands of families in Guatemala and Honduras have been left without shelter and food in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Agatha. According to our partners in the region, three days of torrential rain destroyed families' few possessions and dreams of a bountiful harvest this year. Floods washed away the seeds out of the fields as if they were dry leaves on a rooftop.
"System Change, Not Climate Change"
Last month, I traveled to Cochabamba, Bolivia for a number of reasons. The main one was to attend the World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth. Many of Grassroots International's partners from Latin America, Asia and Africa were also there – some of whom we supported to attend – and it was a great opportunity for me to meet with them and with many of our allies in one central location. They were all at the conference because for them the climate crisis is immediate in its impact and not some theoretical scenario for the future.
Indigenous Women take on a big fight in Guatemala
Last week, I met with representatives from the National Women's Commission of the Via Campesina - Guatemala. The Commission comprises women from four different peasant and indigenous organizations. As I entered the small office, I quickly recognized familiar faces from my last meeting with them in 2009, except for one young woman sitting in the corner with an open notebook: Julieta. The new National Coordinator for Women of our partner the National Coordination of Indigenous People's and Campesinos (CONIC), Julieta is a soft-spoken leader facing the enormous task of coordinating rural women from 475 Mayan communities.
The U.S. Can Still Do the Right Thing in Honduras
Despite a press release from the office of Senator Jim DeMint yesterday evening declaring that he has secured a commitment from the Obama Administration to recognize the Nov. 29th elections in Honduras regardless of Zelaya's reinstatement, it is not too late for the Administration to reverse this position and do right by the people of Honduras.
Act Now for Trade Justice - Replace NAFTA!
By Lindsay Shade
October 12th, 2009
For some, October 12th is commemorated as the day that Christopher Columbus "discovered" the Americas. For many more, it marked the beginning of over 500 years of foreign domination, cultural destruction and systematic exploitation. Over the last 15 years, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has perpetuated that tragic history.
Join with other justice-minded people to use this October 12th to push for the renegotiation and replacement of NAFTA and forge a new history based on mutual respect, human rights, and dignity.
What is the Global Week of Action on Trade?
The Global Week of Action on Trade is a collaborative worldwide action between different communities, to protest the damaging impact of "free" trade, while highlighting alternatives to NAFTA, CAFTA, other free trade agreements and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
It is being organized in conjunction with the Global Mobilization in Defense of Mother Earth and Her Peoples, launched at the IV Hemispheric Summit of Indigenous People in Puno, Peru, last May.
"We ratify the organization of the Minga (traditional indigenous collective communal organization) of the Global Mobilization in Defense of Mother Earth and Her Peoples against the commercialization of life (including land, forests, water, seas, agro-fuels, ex
Amigo, Can You Spare a BTU?
Chances are, the average U.S. resident has no idea that their demand for electricity might require that a Mexican village be flooded for a hydroelectric dam. The question is: if the human cost were known, would we consume just a little bit less?
At Grassroots International, our bet is that a little bit of knowledge would go a long way. For those who value human rights, that high social and environmental cost is not likely to sit right.
Our unabashedly biased perspective is based upon the way we've worked for more than a quarter century: offering financial support to communities around the world whose natural resources have been extracted and despoiled and sharing their stories in living rooms, community centers and across cyberspace.

Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Stavros Katsanevas
Astroparticle Physics emerged worldwide, in the last 20 years, from a field of charismatic pioneers transgressing disciplinary frontiers using risky and innovative detection techniques to a full blown global science activity involving many hundreds of researchers and hundred million or billion dollar scale projects. I will report on the recent effort to develop a strategic vision, roadmap and action plan for this field in Europe, performed under the auspices of ApPEC (Astroparticle Physics European Coordination) and in the context of the European Union program ASPERA. I will describe the many links that tie the proposed large observatories to the corresponding US and more generally worldwide infrastructures, as well as the efforts for a global coordination in progress.

Pros: Price and performance sold me on this drive
Cons: Imaged and installed quickly as a replacement for my very old Win 7 boot HDD. Works fine whenever it boots, trouble is the third or fourth reboot is unsuccessful as the MBR and Partition table are GONE. Seagate test and Bart's test work fine and for days at a time. Once failed the BIOS still sees it just fine but Windows cannot access it. Extensive malware / virus scans turn up nothing. Old drive back in for two weeks now and daily automatic reboot of the old drive works fine.
Other Thoughts: Not eligible for return since the Seagate test prog says it is just fine.READ FULL REVIEW

Dan FitzGerald and Lisa Bromiel's Dog Sled Saga is a really unusual and very charming game that is based around running a dogsledding team. It began as a Kickstarter project that was quickly funded back in 2013, was very well received on Steam Early Access, and has now arrived on iOS.
You take on the role of a rookie musher, running a dogsledding team and growing the dogs' skills by looking after them and training them. Each dog on your team has unique traits that you must develop to progress on the trails of Mount St. Something. It's up to you to budget monthly expenses for the league, hire and fire dogs, use your mushing fame to earn sponsorship, hire employees, and even breed puppies.
The dogsledding action is pick-up-and-play; if your dogs start to feel hungry, they'll slow down, so you have to throw food (which is limited in supply) to them to make them speed up again. You'll also have to avoid hazards on the track.

Bloomberg writes that it has heard from sources familiar with Apple's plans that the company is continuing to work on its own version of Amazon's Echo smart-home device, based around Siri.
According to Bloomberg's sources, the project has already reached the prototype-testing stage, after more than 2 years in the research and development lab. Just as with Amazon's Echo, the unnamed Apple device will be able to control appliances, locks, lighting, and curtains, for example, all via voice activation.
Don't get too excited about the prospect of Siri running your home for you just yet, however, as the sources also say that Apple has not yet finalised the plans for the device, and could still scrap them.
Apparently Apple wants to ensure that its own device has several distinguishable characteristics that set it aside from Amazon's Echo and also the forthcoming Google Home, such as more advanced microphone and speaker technology. The sources said that some of the prototypes that are being tested have facial recognition sensors, which could be the result of Apple's recent acquisition of facial-recognition start-ups Faceshift and Emotient. Based on such technology, the device could even be able to respond to a user's facial expressions and emotions.
Aside from being used to control smart-home connected devices, the new smart speaker could also react to the sort of commands that Siri currently reacts to on the iPhone and iPad, such as reading e-mails, sending texts, and playing Apple Music content. Mapping information could also be integrated into the speaker, so that it could let you know when you need to leave the house for an appointment.
As far as when this new device might be available, Bloomberg's sources say that Apple engineers have already been testing it in their homes, which gives us a vague idea of a possible release timeline based on previous products. For example, Tim Cook is on record as saying that he tested the iPad at home for...

Great news if you didn't manage to get an iPhone 7 at launch, as AppleInsider reports that it has been told by many sources in the Apple retail supply chain that there will soon be a slow and steady improvement in the stock of all Apple retail stores. In particular, the supply of iPhone 7 units is expected to be greatly improved by early October, with full stock by October 8.
Even so, the source said that customers should still be sure to reserve online before heading for the Apple retail store. "Just because we'll have stock, doesn't mean that we didn't get cleaned out for the day an hour before you get here," said the source.
AppleInsider says that it has seen documents that prove that the bankruptcy situation of the Hanjin freight company has caused a logjam in international shipping, leading to containers jam-packed with iPhones and Apple Watch models being delayed and not making the September 16 launch date.
AppleInsider's sources also said that an "unnamed tech company" has paid some of the outstanding shipping port fees on the U.S. Pacific coast for Hanjin's ships so that they can dock and offload their containers full of Apple devices.

Touch Arcade reports that the long-awaited fourth and final episode in Steve Jackson's epic Sorcery! series has finally arrived in the App Store, entitled "The Crown of Kings." If you've already played Parts 1 through 3 then you'll be all too aware that your decisions and choices in those previous episodes will have an impact on Part 4. However, you don't actually have to have played the first three games to enjoy The Crown of Kings, although you'll probably want to go back and play them after you play this one.
Inkle's critically acclaimed adaptation of Steve Jackson's original 1983 gamebook series brings the adventure right up to date, and concludes the interactive novel. As the story continues in Sorcery! 4, you're trying to obtain the stolen Crown of Kings from the Archmage in the Forest of Mampang, high up in the mountains. With little more than your sword and your spellbook to aid you, you must break into the Citadel and sneak through the city to confront the Archmage. As ever in the series, the choices that you make ensure that every Sorcery! playthrough is intensely personal and unique. Here's a list of some of the game's key features:

If you like beautifully crafted adventure games then look no further than Microïds, the French publisher behind the Syberia series. They've just announced, in conjunction with Artefacts studio, that their next release (ahead of the long-awaited Syberia 3, which is coming later in the year) will be Agatha Christie: The A.B.C. Murders, due to arrive in the App Store on September 29 for $6.99.
In the game you get to play as Agatha Christie's legendary Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, in one of Agatha Christie's most famous novels, A.B.C. Murders.
When Poirot receives a letter from someone calling themselves "A.B.C." he's shocked to see that the letter-writer is brazenly announcing that they are about to commit a murder, showing clear contempt for the great detective and his colleagues. In a bid to track down A.B.C you'll get to explore various locations in England, and must use your observation skills and wit, and above all keep a cool head in order to solve the mystery.
The gameplay has been particularly designed to use Poirot's trademark method of deductive reasoning, his "little grey cells." Here are some of the key gameplay features:

2K and Cat Daddy have announced that they are bringing Mafia III to iOS with Mafia III: Rivals, which will be released on October 7, the same date as the Mafia III console and PC game will also be released.
Set in the same New Bordeaux location, the free-to-play mobile game provides a totally different perspective of the main game's location, enabling you to fight your way to the top of the criminal underworld in a totally different way to that of Hanger 13's console game.
With characters, locations, and events based on the console game, you get to build up your very own crime syndicate by seizing property, collecting loot (including weapons and vehicles) and defeating your mob rivals in RPG combat battles.
You start out by fighting rival gangs, then build your empire by recruiting and training 40 crime bosses from the Mafia III universe. You can then customise your crew with weapons and gear, and team up with your friends and battle other players around the world and take down their crews.
You can pre-register for the game now here: http://www.mafiagame.com/rivals
You'll receive in-game bonuses for pre-registering once the game is officially released on October 7.

When Apple launched the iPhone 7 on September 7 it announced a new feature for the iPhone 7 Plus dual-camera system, a "Portrait" mode that enables you to take photos that maintains the sharpness of faces in the foreground against a blurred background effect. The dual-camera system uses both cameras, along with advanced machine learning, to make the photo subject sharp and create the out-of-focus, or "bokeh" effect for the background. Prior to the iPhone 7 Plus, the effect was only available when using a DSLR camera. MacRumors says that the technology used to achieve the Portrait effect was based on technology acquired from camera firm LinX.
At the time of the announcement, Apple said that Portrait mode was not quite ready yet, and would be coming soon. Now, with the release of iOS 10.1 beta to developers, Portrait mode is finally on its way.
Having had some hands-on time with the beta version of Portrait mode, MacRumors says that good lighting is essential in order for it to work properly, and that the subject needs to be situated just right: they can't be too near or too far. Using Portrait mode is very similar to using other Camera app modes, along with a handy feature that enables you to preview the depth-of-field effect first before taking the picture.

It's taken its own sweet time getting there, but the first episode of Batman: The Telltale Series has finally arrived in the App Store for iOS, with the Android version still nowhere in sight. The game is already on Episode 2 for the console and PC versions, but iOS players will have to wait a little while longer for that.
The five-episode series is being hailed as one of Telltale's best yet by fans and critics alike, and rightly so.
Episode 1, entitled Realm of the Shadows, introduces the main characters, including Bruce Wayne played by Troy Baker and Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle. You can check out some behind-the-scenes footage of the two actors in the video below.

Not even a week has passed since the launch of the iPhone 7 and Apple is already testing new updates. On Wednesday, our favorite fruit company seeded iOS 10.1 beta 1 to developers.
The new beta firmware, available through Apple's developer portal adds the promised Portrait camera mode on the iPhone 7 Plus. Portrait camera allows iPhone 7 Plus owners to snap photos with an added 'bokeh' effect, a feature shown off at Apple's fall event.
TechCrunch explains the feature a bit more in-depth:
"The Portrait mode, which displays a beta notification prominently on first launch, resides to the right side of the standard photo mode in your camera app. There is no zooming, digital or otherwise, in Portrait mode. Instead, the Portrait mode exclusively uses the 56mm lens to shoot the image and the wide angle lens to gather the perspective data that allows it to generate a 9-layer depth map."
Other than the new camera feature, Apple promises a slew of bug fixes and improvements to its latest firmware. We're sure there are things Apple didn't list in its changelog, we'll be sure to keep our readers updated as changes are found.

Cases can be frustrating, long, and complex. In many cases, the victim can be physically and or emotionally in pain. Contacting a lawyer may be the best decision in any situation and can better the odds of success. These are some of the top reasons why hiring an attorney can benefit anyone.
Free Consultation
In most cases, consultations are free, and individuals can go to as many as they like. This free interview can let a person know what they are getting. The attorney's personality, their terms, and their experience should be acknowledged in this interview and individual questions answered (criminal solicitors Manchester).
Financial Benefit
What is the case> Depending on this answer, hiring an attorney may be essential. Accident cases are probably the best time to hire an attorney as there are many regulations to adhere by state to state, and any mistake made by an individual can end up costing them payouts and causing financial havoc. Especially in cases like these, attorneys are not supposed to get any payout unless they win the case, a great benefit to the victim.
Lawyers, especially experienced ones, should have the connections to various professionals needed to enhance the chances of success in a case. Handling situations alone unnecessarily can hurt the individual's case when help could have changed the outcome.
Lessons Punishment
In many cases, a good attorney can almost predict the outcome of a case because of past experience. A lawyer can decide if it is necessary to go to trial or they can negotiate better terms, cutting costs down, as well as save time.
Stress Reducer
One of the best conveniences of a lawyer is the reduced stress it offers. Again, state by state there are different laws and a good attorney knows these things.They will know how to file documents and explain everything in detail for you.
Hiring immigration solicitors Manchester would only benefit the client, as great customer service, care, and know how, is the main goal of this firm.

HUDSON, Mass. -- Earlier in the week, Blackstone Valley Tech standout and the nation's leader in batting average, Bella Picard suffered a hairline fracture to her left ankle after being struck by a pitch against Worcester Tech in a Division 3 quarterfinal contest.
Yesterday, with the ankle heavily wrapped, Picard was in the line up versus Uxbridge in a Division 3 semifinal match up at Hudson High School. Despite playing in pain, the junior never let is show as she went 2-for-3, including a triple to help lead the Beavers to an 8-5 victory over the Spartans.
No. 6 BVT (17-4) advances to the Central Mass. final to be played on Saturday at Worcester State University beginning at 3 p.m.. The Beavers will face the winner of today's Quaboag/Assabet Valley winner.
Uxbridge, which was coming off a 15-1 quarterfinal rout of No. 2 Murdock continued its hot hitting against the Beavers in the early-going.
The Spartans erupted for four runs in the opening inning keyed by a Samantha Wise two-run single. BVT got a run back in the bottom of the first which served as a prelude to the third when it scored five times to put this one out of reach. A bases-loaded two-run single by Megan Ferscheke and a two-run Uxbridge error allowed the Beavers to take the lead for good.
BVT scored solo runs in the fifth and sixth innings, respectively on RBIs from Megan McFadden and Amber Wheaton. Beaver pitcher Alycia Wagner survived the first inning nightmare by keeping Uxbridge off the board until the seventh when it managed a run.
"Our whole thing is no pressure," said Picard, a junior "We weren't worred (after we fell behind). We always seem to struggle in the first inning of games. We feel we have nothing to lose in this tournament. We're going out there to have fun."
In a Division 2 affair, defending Central Mass. champ Leicester was able to survive a scare from No. 7 Notre Dame Academy, to secure a 3-1 triumph.
No. 3 Leicester (20-2) will meet Grafton (4-3 winners over Hudson on Wednesday) in Saturday's final beginning at 5 p.m. at Worcester State University. The Rebels close their season at 15-8.
The third-seeded Wolverines trailed 1-0 after the first five frames but the offense finally arrived at a most crucial time in their half of the sixth. Lauren Tuiskula led things off with a triple to right field. Hailey Terrien followed that up with a double to let, tying the game at 1-1.
For Rebel pitcher Casey Arpin, who was doing a good job keeping Leicester in check for much of this contest, things continued to worsen in the inning. Julia Hebert blasted a hard grounder back at Arpen, which deflected off of her glove, allowing Terrien to come in with the eventual game-winner. Ashley George gave the Wolverines some insurance by striking a single to right that plated Hebert.
Just prior to Leicester's dramatics, NDA had an opportunity to pad its lead in the top of the inning. But a perfectly-executed relay from Terrien in right field to second baseman Amanda Stanick to catcher Jill Witkowski gunned down Emilia Froio, who was trying to score from second on a base hit by Meghan Sullivan.
"These kids have battled all year and have a never give up attitude," Leicester coach Dave Stanick said. "We hit the ball hard in that sixth inning and ran the bases well. I jokingly said let's not wait that long next time to do that. Late in the game we still felt it was just a matter of time for us that if we get enough chances we'll come through and we did."

Nine Eagles Sky Climber
Yesterday I purchased a Nine Eagles Sky Climber electric glider from my local Hobbystores.
I could not resist this model, it's good looks and great price of £89.00 means that I can have a cheap soaring fix!
The model is of excellent quality. The wings are retained using a carbon spar. Two plastic clips fit into slots in the underside of each wing to hold the spar and wings in place, this makes removing the wings a breeze.
The wing servos fit nicely into plastic clips and are then retained by screws with large washers.
The horizontal stabilizer is held on with one screw. The model features a magnetic hatch on the underside of the fuselage, I am a little confused because there is a battery retaining strap in the cockpit. This hatch could be used to access the RX and wiring, a nice touch!
The manual is poor however, a beginner will have this glider together in no time. The clevis connectors are cheap and it might be an idea to replace them.
The motor was a little fiddly to mount due to lack of space in the front fuselage. The prop adapter has two grub screws to hold the adapter in place.
I have found an amusing video on YouTube made by the Silly Fokkers reviewing this glider.
2008mm Wing Span
Overall Length 1210mm
Flying Weight: 950g+20g
motor 2835 1050KV
ESC 30amp
Battery, 11.1V
I will let you know the results of my flight testing as soon as I can get to the field.
I intend to remove the decals, they peel off without damage. I will fit a clear transparent canopy fabricated from plastic card and a cockpit with a HobbyKing glider pilot which I have ordered. These finishing touches will really round off this model.
Look fwd to flying in some thermals.....

I noted that the clear guide tube needed shortening inside the fuselage as it restricted the movement of the elevator servo arm.
The elevator and rudder servos need gluing into the fuselage, it would have been better to have had a light ply base to support the servos.
The wing spar needs to be orientated so the notches in the carbon spar face downwards to allow the capture of the spar retaining tabs/clips that are inserted into the slots in the underside of the wings. Your wings may depart if you neglect this detail! It might be an idea to glue one end of the spar into just one side of a wing when it is correctly orientated to capture the retaining tab!

Successful Maiden Flight!
I managed to maiden my Sky Climber this evening. I took to the air at just after 6 pm. The glider flew gracefully out of my friends hands on the launch and climbed effortlessly into the fair weather cumulus sky. I was soon tucked into a thermal and twisting my way higher and higher into the late afternoon sky. This glider is impressive!, it's light weight and great stability combined with very low flying speeds and docile handling means that beginners could use this machine to learn to fly on.
The glider drops it's nose at the stall and has no tendency to drop a wing, very tame flying characteristics! There was a moderate breeze at the start of the evening, the model flew into wind making good headway. After a few loops and low passes I landed into wind at walking pace while using flaperons, one could grab this machine out of the air.
This glider provides for an easy and cheap introduction to the thrills of soaring flight. Nine Eagles have themselves a winner with this one!
There hopefully will be some photos to follow.
The motor produces around 125 watts drawing about 16 amps. I replaced the stock ESC with a 25 amp ESC because the stock ESC would occasionally make a screeching loud siren noise while rocking the prop backward and fwd, this can be remedied by opening and closing the throttle.
The novel spar retaining clips means that this model goes together very easily and quickly in the field with no fuss.
I am going to add a pilot and cockpit to this model,I have the materials to make my own vacuum former for molded canopies, I need a clear canopy.

Thanks for sharing, really like the look of this plane. What was the name of the store you got this plane from? I been looking online and apart from being £15 more than the £89 you got it for, it is out of stock everywhere. Typical, lol.
If i cant find this and convince the missus it'll be worth it, then will be getting her little brother.

Hello Kevrees,
I bought my model from HobbyStores in Chelmsford, most model shops should have them.
I have started customizing my glider, I have removed the decals and painted the rudder red with Tamiya acrylic. I bought a glider pilot from HobbyKing, unfortunately he is too small. I have just finished making a vac-former to create a transparent canopy for the model.

My missus is a little intimidated by a 2m sailplane at the moment so we are going for her little brother, the nine eagles sky surfer
and once we both get the hang of it, and get some decent radio gear (and another champ lol) will probably move onto the sky climber.

I would be very interested to hear how this glider develops as I'm in the market for a 2m powered glider as a first aileron trainer. Seems to be a floater and nice and slow which is just what I need. And, the price is right too!
Everyone seems to recommend the EGP but the Sky Climber is considerably cheaper and I have suitable 1500/1800 3s lipos waiting for a good home and this would fit the bill perfectly if the quality is up to scratch.
If I have to start replacing ESC, servos, etc, it kind of defeats the object.
chuckf, if I do get one I would happily pay you to make me a clear canopy.
Comments welcome.

However, you can not use a Spektrun Rx with the Tx supplied in the RTF version of the model. the two systems are not compatable with one another.
So now that you've all been flying this Glider for a while, is it still as good as you first thought,

I love it!!! In fact after filming John's maiden (The video at the top is mine) I went out and bought it. What a super flying glider!
I am wanting a little more power and sport ability so I have just sold it to one of the other Silly Fokker members who is about to try and break my line of sight height record with it (Over 2400ft)
Anyway this is my first post I joined today and found the chuckf had posted my video so I could not resist posting here and saying thank you to Chuck for posting it here.

I've watched the video many times and I managed to find a couple of others ( there's one Jurgen posted recently with 2 Sky Climbers flying indoors ).
In all the videos the model appears to be very smooth flying and I've only heard good things about it so far too.
I'm about to commence my flying assessment/instruction ( a prerequisite to flying solo ) next weekend at my local club. Once I get the all clear I will be ordering the Sky climber.

Sharing and caring
Three or four months after I arrived at the Gazette in May 2009, a friend asked if I had started working on Sharing at Christmas yet.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Oh, you'll see," she said, with a laugh.
As I arrived home Friday night, with aching feet and back, I remembered that conversation.
Friday was the day that volunteers fanned out across the county, delivering food and toys to help make the holidays brighter for many families in need. It's a process that has gone on in Union County for 36 years.
It's a reminder to me that as many of us (mainly me) complain about our petty concerns, there are at east 250 of our neighbors who have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. Then there's the burden of trying to get a little Christmas into the house for the children.
We can only hope they're not too proud to ask, because, as you'll see, there is lots of help available. And that's because of many of you.
The Sharing starts the week of Thanksgiving when the little red thermometer starts appearing on the front page of the Gazette, announcing how much money has been donated.
But raising money is only the beginning of what has grown over the years into a major undertaking for lots of volunteers. The applications of families who ask for help are screened and narrowed to focus the most needy.
Then the work begins of determining the age and gender of children in those families. Volunteers shop for blankets for the elderly and toys for children who are 10 or younger, and then carefully bag them with the name and address where they are to be delivered.
Thousands of pounds of groceries are ordered to supply each family with a holiday dinner. But in addition to the turkey breast, potatoes, cranberry jelly, canned green beans, corn, peas, bread and dessert mixes, there are bags of apples and oranges, peanut butter and jelly, cereal, eggs, and more, so there will be plenty for the next couple of days, too.
On Tuesday of Sharing-at-Christmas week, the work begins at the National Guard Armory as 250 large corrugated boxes are taped up and set out in rows on the concrete floor.
The next day, a semi-trailer loaded with pallet after pallet of groceries backs up to the empty armory. The groceries are distributed among the boxes that will eventually weigh about 40 pounds. Early Friday morning, the turkey breasts are added to the boxes.
In the next four hours, volunteers including Union County employees, sheriff's deputies, New Albany police and utility-department employees, and trustys from the Union County Jail set out across the county, delivering boxes.
As the deliveries were being made, a reporter for an area television station said she thought it was unusual for a small newspaper like the Gazette to undertake such a project.
"But what do you get out of it?" she asked.
"Like all the volunteers, just a good feeling about helping out in the community," I said.
But it's more than that. It gives me a good feeling about the community, that it's more than a place to live. It's a place full of people who care about those less fortunate than themselves, people who are willing to share their money and time to make Christmas a little less bleak for their neighbors. Thank you, Union County, for caring and sharing at Christmas.
T. Wayne Mitchell, publisher of the Gazette, can be reached by phone at 662-534-6321.

Skylight presents intimate take on 'Porgy & Bess'
In the summer of 1926, George Gershwin returned home from rehearsals for a new musical. Wired and needing to clear his head, he picked up a recent bestselling novel as bedtime reading. He didn't put it down until he had finished it the following morning. The novel was DuBose Heyward's "Porgy."
In "The Life and Times of Porgy and Bess: The Story of an American Classic," Hollis Alpert describes what happened next: Gershwin was so excited "by the story and its author's apparent musical sensitivity" that he immediately wrote Heyward and suggested they collaborate on an opera. Nine years later, it made a now-legendary Broadway debut as "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article(1)

I wouldn't worry about it. I never show ketones in urine or blood, either. It's no holy grail, as fun as it is.
It seems that you are more interested in getting a rise out of me (saying I'm not thinking before I post, just like the other thread) rather than actually having the decency to respond with a coherent argument. For someone who is so experienced on this forum, I would have expected a bit more.
My nutrition/fitness/critical thinking blog:
I wouldn't worry about it. I never show ketones in urine or blood, either. It's no holy grail, as fun as it is.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
Four years Primal with influences from Jaminet & Shanahan and a focus on being anti-inflammatory. Using Primal to treat CVD and prevent stents from blocking free of drugs.
Eat creatures nose-to-tail (animal, fowl, fish, crustacea, molluscs), a large variety of vegetables (raw, cooked and fermented, including safe starches), dairy (cheese & yoghurt), occasional fruit, cocoa, turmeric & red wine
Everyone is different (to a degree). Following cookie cutter approaches to dieting doesnt help very much. Experiment! Work out what works for YOU. Maybe you dont go well with low carb and need to raise your intake.

When I'd had enough of the grain and starched based 'diabetic eating for health' diet (eating for health, my ass!) my weight was 242.5 lbs. On starting primal- 18th April 2013 weight : 238.1.
27th July 2013. weight after 100 days 136.9 weight lost 101.2lb ; that's 105.6lbs since I stopped the 'diabetic eating for health'

Losing weight or "cutting" will not help you gain more muscle. Better definition, yes - but don't expect to be able to lift more because of that. How much do you lift, how do you lift? I used to lift 3-4 times a week and see slow results results. I dropped the weights completely and do over 60 pullups each morning - I see quick results. In a high carb diet, I gain more muscle and there's barely fat on me. I doubt ketosis is your holy grail.
p.s, picture yourself if you dare. You're probably more stressed than you should be.
Everything is bad for something - How do you feel today?
I read through the blog a bit, and it's cool stuff, with some research and personal anecdote, but it still doesn't prove that meal frequency means diddly, whether it's high or low.

You can enter A through Z yourself. Then, select the cells that contain the letters and use the fill handle to copy the entire alphabet as many times as required. This way isn't so hot, but it'll work.Use a formula
You can use the CHAR() function to produce the appropriate letters, but this function uses integer as an argument - you can use the fill handle to produce both. First, let's tackle the list of integers that the CHAR() function will use as its arguments.
- Enter the value 65 in any cell - CHAR(65) will return A. (Start with 97 if you want lowercase letters.)
- Select the cell that contains the value 65 and hold down the [Ctrl] key.
- Pull down the fill handle (the little plus sign at the bottom-right corner of the cell). As you move down, Excel will display values for each cell that you add to the selection. Stop when you reach 90.
Now, enter a CHAR() function that refers to the cell storing the integer 65. The function will return A. Next, use the fill handle to create your alpha list.
If you use the handle to copy the complete list, as is, you'll get a bunch of errors. Before you can copy the list, you must convert the list from functions to values as follows:
- Select and right-click the list.
- Choose Copy from the resulting context menu.
- Right-click again and choose Paste Special. Check the Values setting in the Paste section, and click OK. Or, press [Alt]+E+S+V, and press Enter. I find the keyboard shortcut a bit awkward, but you might prefer it. In Excel 2007 and 2010, press [Alt]+H+V+S+V and press Enter.
Once the alphabetic list consists of characters and no functions, you can use the fill handle to copy it.Create a custom list
Either of the above methods works well for a one-time task. If you think you'll need an alphabetic list again, consider creating a custom list. First, create an actual list from A to Z using either of the above methods. Then, do the following:
- Select the list.
- Choose Options from the Tools menu and click the Custom Lists tab. In Excel 2007, click the Office button and then click Excel Options. Click Popular in the left pane and then click Edit Custom Lists. In Excel 2010, click the File tab and then click Options under Help. Select Advanced in the left pane, and then click Edit Custom Lists in the General section.
- The Import List From Cells control will display the list range. In this case, it's $B$1:$B$26.
- Click Import and Excel will display the custom list.
- Click OK.
To use the custom list, simply enter the letter a or A and use the fill handle to complete the alphabetic list. Excel is smart enough to fill in lower or uppercase, accordingly.

Things to do in Milwaukee this week
Verily! Go!
'Tis a proper tale for summer and must needs an optimist to tell it properly. The Optimist Theatre company wishes to put on Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" this summer. Its performances are free and take place in Kadish Park on the hill above the Milwaukee River. But therein lies the rub. Free performances still cost money to stage. So the merry troupe is holding a fundraiser — "Unsphere the Stars" — Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Turner Hall Ballroom, 1040 N. 4th St. It will offer up a variety show with comic frivolity from Phil Johnson and musical stylings from Janet O'Mahony. Tickets are $35, and the group has a matching challenge grant from BMO Harris Bank. »Read Full Article
2 Chainz fastened to hip-hop clichés at Eagles Ballroom
The Grammy-nominated recording artist known as 2 Chainz provided an empowering evening of entertainment at a sold-out Eagles Ballroom at the Rave Saturday.
It began with a lone word appearing on a screen on the stage: "Dream." There was the recorded reading of a poem and imaginative video performances by a troupe of dancers in silhouette. And there was a montage of figures - Martin Luther King Jr.; Michael Jordan, Rocky Balboa - whose very presence provided profound inspiration. »Read Full Article(1)

Random Thread [Lame Comeback Smells of Stale Bacon][♥]
lol This idea spawned after a random tweet/dream and figured that Astro could use a plug for the most random stuff. Basically if we can get this page to 100, that'd be sweet. But yeah! Derail the convo if you want just like in the guild chat! Remember kids, play nice! (Any other outside of Astro is welcome to join in the discussion!)
EDIT: In case you didn't know, YES you can post pictures/videos, but remember ggFTW's rules! Also, if yer gonna post more then 1 YT video, spoiler it! Kthx gaiz. <3
Soooooo to start off the thread, has any ever had any eTO/Astro Blitz-related dreams? I know I get some now and then, but I had a weird one last night and Tweeted about it. Basically for some reason IRL, Vis and I agree to get married. We then got a decent sized house. Then we spent a fortune on a few new computers and got about 5-7 pugs and decided that they be our children.
lol brain u funy
I dream of eTO all the time. I must say though, the boss drops aren't any better. :\
lol Yeah I have to agree there. =3=; I dreamt that I got an Ice Axe once.
Think I remember randomly dreaming about a few boss weapon drops, ice axe and blood sword are the main ones I remember, think I had one with the pistol too.
More recent was a rose sickle that couldn't have possibly existed, had 71 something base lk and wanted to forge it to a more possible 71 ma one. (max on a rose is 49ish lk I think)
That said, my dreams are really random in general o.o
I don't remember my dreams. Well, only the really crazy/messed up ones. :'D
same here generally, those are just some trickster related ones I can think of XD
can't remember the last normal dream I had.
Might have happened s few nerdy times I dreamed of eTO.
Dreaming of successful refines to 13!
And getting hax alti crimson equips. 8D
not really bothering with picking up the hunter boxes now, boring as it is, standing around doing almost nothing on a dark lord produces fairly good results:http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/l...enshot0031.jpg
a sheep could probably do better and be more fun, but this helps my dark lord anyway XD
Music class- 8am
Graphics class- 9am
Some family thing- 10:30am
Another music class- 11:30am
Doctors appointment- 12:30pm
Lunch, lol. - 1pm
2 more music classes: 2pm-6pm
Until then, I can't look at my pop prizes D:<
Only half an hour at the doctors? lmao, here you spend twice that long just in the waiting room. Your classes sound more fun than mine were. :(
it's so you can read their old books D:
got through the main quest of morrowind, have tribunal and blood moon to do now, along with a few faction quests and a house quest line to complete.
of the three games in the series that I played, I'd probably say skyrim is my favorite, then morrowind, and oblivion last. None are bad, it's just oblivion is too easy the whole way through. (That being said, I could always try OOO or something to make the game feel at least a bit more challenging)
MineK is now a favorite producer. ;-; S/he can really bring out the creaminess in Gakupo and basically bring out the best of Meiko. Lyke srslyyyyy.
I don't understand youtube sometimes.
Videos either load up fairly fast, other times the exact same video needs to be refreshed 5 or 6 times and might buffer after 10 minutes or so for a 2 or 3 minute video. Then there's the fake progress bar where the video might start and then it just freezes up. Moving the slider sort of helps, but gets kind of annoying on the longer videos.
Shame it's the one with the most content since there's much better video sites out there that I've been to when it comes to actually being able to watch the video.
Actually have a pretty solid back log of videos, mostly let's plays, that I want to watch but have put off just because youtube is hit and miss with actually being able to watch the things.
I'd even tolerate more commercials during the video like hulu does if it made the video actually load a lot more painlessly than it does now.
I would say it's my connection, but youtube is the only site that really gives me any trouble.
/pointless youtube rant 8D
Other than that, I'm doing fairly well. Trying to start up a mage in morrowind and looking for some mods to go with it, there's a retro active endurance one that looks tempting since I won't have to worry about maxing it out asap. XD
I love it when people complain.
Oh eTO/gg comm, you never cease to amuse me.
you haven't heard? free stuff apparently burns. 8D
That said, can understand mixing up the prizes a bit more since they've been the same for quite a while and it is pretty predictable. Doesn't make the current prizes bad by any means though, at least not to people that lack the ability to throw 20 to 50 bucks around on a whim.
lol If I had that ability, I'd probably be rich. :| Or be more inclined to give it away... .-. Or do mini-contests like the one Jee and Steam had (which ended them flooding PvP with carrots, lulz).
I used to have a pic of myself hosting in some Trickster Players site. Probably gone now, so here I am again. This was actually my profession pic for when I had my game studio (didn't go as cool as it sounds).
rented skyrim again and actually got around to having a solid start on a character.
Randomly stumbled into the thieves guild quest line and doing alright on it, was going to make this character a heavy armor sword and board type. Quests aren't too bad for easy money though, and the thief armor is quite nice for getting past that stupid carrying limit on the console version.
If I got the pc version, very first mod I would think about using would correct that, I don't care about realism in an rpg game where your character can shoot fire out of his hands or shrug off dragon attacks, I care about finding lots of cool junk and not being burdened by it.
Anyway, might see how far I am from buying a house to help give me some place to store said junk. XD
My niece has a bunch of lego figures that I leave on my book case. People feel the need to rearrange them into different positions every time they come into my room. So I usually end up seeing stuff like this:
We're all immature here. 8D
Spongebob seems so happy for them. It's kind of creepy.

New MKE Music: Dana Coppa & Mammyth - Just Doing Ill. A Tribute

A virtual Axford to appear at Milwaukee Film Festival

Axford was a sponsor of this year's festival to the tune of $25,000. His donation went toward support of the Cream City Cinema program for local films and filmmakers and allowed the filmmaker in residence cash prize to double to $5,000. »Read Full Blog Post
'Half the Kingdom' travels through the health care system, darkly
Slide over, Thomas Pynchon, and make room for another older writer's sardonic novel about contemporary New York, infused with conspiracy theory.
In "Half the Kingdom," Lore Segal finds plenty of worms in the Big Apple, just as Pynchon does in "Bleeding Edge." But in contrast to Pynchon's all-inclusive paranoia, Segal focuses tightly on one faltering ecosystem: the elderly and American health care. »Read Full Article
