About Me First Time Parent, Working Parent
Comments about MGA Entertainment 1001165 Scan 2 Go Lucky Card Value 12-piece Pack:
I bought this along with many other items for the Toys For Tots program. As a former Marine I figured I'd go on www.toysrus.com for the simple fact that I could buy lots of items and have a variety of children receive various gifts. I went to the clearance portion of the site and it certainly allowed me to purchase large number of items. I'm not sure how the program is actually run and if they just hand out the gifts but I figured its better than nothing. There's too many kids that don't have an xmas like most of us do. I certainly hope others do the same for the kids.

Now, officials say, the timing could be perfect.
Looking to capitalize on the momentum created by a series of summer visioning sessions for downtown, officials are again considering applying for the Keystone Main Street program, which would provide technical and financial support for revitalization projects.
Chamber of Commerce President Gary Laird presented the idea to Hanover Borough Council's finance committee Wednesday night. Laird outlined the benefits to the program and the borough's required commitment should it pursue the designation.
"There are some really great opportunities out there," Laird said, noting that Main Street municipalities tend to get preference from the state in receiving grants. "There's a whole host of programs that would be accessible to us as a Main Street municipality."
The program, however, would come with a significant commitment on the part of the borough and the chamber, Laird said. Under the proposal, the borough and chamber would each contribute $30,000 per year for the first five years of the program, part of which would go toward hiring a full-time Main Street manager.
"One of the criteria is that there be a full-time effort in the downtown," said Julie Fitzpatrick, assistant director of the nonprofit Pennsylvania Downtown Center, which administers the program through the state Department of Community and Economic Development.
After those five years, Laird said, the program is expected to be self-sufficient.
"This would be seed money to help us get this thing started and off the ground," he said. "The goal is after five years to get this thing able to support itself."
Laird said the borough and chamber would need to notify PA Downtown Center of their intention to pursue the designation by the end of the month. He said the proposal also still has to be presented to the chamber's board of directors for a vote.
The formal application to the DCED would not have to be filed until June.
Hanover Councilman and finance committee chairman Henry McLin said he thinks the Main Street designation is worth pursuing, but the council would need to look at the costs and discuss the issue.
"I don't think we want to do anything to stop the momentum," he said. "I think it's something we'll discuss. We have to talk about it. We want to look at the different possibilities for funding this thing."
"It's always been our goal to have Hanover as a designated Main Street community," Councilwoman Heidi Hormel said during the meeting.
While the chamber put the formal Main Street application on hold in 2008, it continued laying the groundwork for revitalization, focusing on the program's four-point approach; organization, design, promotion and economic restructuring.
Those efforts led to a grant to improve building facades downtown, identifying anchor buildings for renovation and downtown activities such as the "Holidaze Scramble" and "Chalk it Up."
A series of visioning sessions for downtown, conducted by the chamber's Main Street Hanover group and PA Downtown Center, generated a lot of community involvement and specific recommendations for both long- and short-term goals.
"We've come to a critical point," Laird told council members. "We're to a point we need to get our arms around theses recommendations and figure out how to get that done."
Fitzpatrick said the Keystone Main Street program has been revised and now has more funding available. She said several towns in the region are exploring the possibility of applying for the designation.
"I think there is a new interest and a new opportunity given the changes to the (Main Street) program," she said. "I believe there is a lot of value to the program."
In many cases, Fitzpatrick said, the Main Street designation is attractive to developers looking to invest in communities.
Specifically, the program could help the borough obtain grants and loans for building renovations, accessible housing improvements, enterprise zone projects and more, Laird said.
For those working on the downtown effort, several initiatives appear to be coming together at the right time.
The grassroots group Friends of the State Theatre is exploring plans to renovate and reuse the former movie theater on Frederick Street, which has been dark for nearly 26 years but is seen by many as a key to drawing people back downtown.
Also, the chamber has just received an independent study on the feasibility of establishing a Hanover Heritage Conference Center in downtown. Local businessman Scott Roland has purchased the former Wachovia Bank building on Carlisle Street with plans to reserve it for that use.
Laird said the findings of that study should be presented next month.
"I haven't gotten a chance to dig into that (study)," Laird said. "We plan to do that over the next week or so."
Hanover Borough and Penn Township are also poised to hire a firm to conduct a joint comprehensive plan that will outline the area's growth and development plans for the next decade. Meanwhile, the borough and York County are involved in the early stages of a regional economic development plan.
The Main Street designation would be another step in the process and would help bring those initiatives together, Laird said.
"There is an expectation out there we're going to keep this thing moving," Laird said. "We want to strike while the iron is hot.
"In the 10 years I've been involved in this, this is the most enthusiasm I've seen," he said.

January 31, 2013 Perfect Game's College Top 25Analyzing the 2013 Top NCAA TeamsOn December 5, 2012, Baseball Prospectus and Perfect Game announced a partnership to help promote and cover the game at both the amateur and professional levels. As a result of this partnership, Baseball Prospectus subscribers will now get the opportunity to read some of the great premium content being published by Perfect Game for its members. Today, courtesy of Perfect Game, we bring you this special report by Kendall Rogers. The Road to Omaha has officially begun with the unveiling of the PG Top 25 rankings.
North Carolina leads the way entering the 2013 campaign, but certainly has some stiff company throughout the top 25. For instance, Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Stanford, ranked 2,3 and 4, respectively, also had compelling cases to be the nation's top-ranked team. Plenty of other squads also have a great chance to stake their claim this spring.
Without further ado, we take an in-depth look at teams in our rankings and make a compelling case for each.
Head coach: Mike Fox
Conference: Atlantic Coast
2012 record: 46-16, 22-8 ACC
2012 accomplishment: Hosted Chapel Hill NCAA Regional
Top returning pitcher: LHP Kent Emanuel -- The talented left-handed pitcher had a fantastic sophomore campaign for the Heels last season, going 8-4 with a 1.96 ERA in 110 innings. He also struck out 100 and walked 23, while teams hit him at a .228 clip.

Whoopi does her own shopping
The exciting news of the day is that Whoopi Goldberg bought a house in the town next to ours. I had actually first gotten wind of the celebrity's relocation from a neighbour who is working with Whoopi on a project. But, I kept it to myself. While I can gossip with the best of them, I try to stick to the banal, happy kind of gossip. Far be it from me to spread the neighbour's news, so I kept it on the down low. Luckily, I didn't have to hold on to that secret long because Whoopi was spotted at our local Whole Foods. In what aisle, I don't know, but she was sans entourage and avec her own canvas bags. A celebrity who shops for herself. Like it.
I admit that I get a little giddy when I see famous people. I don't care how goofy that makes me. And I'm not afraid to approach celebrities and say, "Hey, Famous Person! You're neat." Or something hopefully a bit more inspired.
Since learning of Whoopi's arrival, I have been contemplating all the clever and memorable things I will say to her when I see her at the Whole Foods. My goal to make a lasting impression-even if I make an ass out of myself as I have done in my past. I'm especially good at humiliating myself in front of stars I love, and Whoopi is definitely on my A list.
Once upon a time, Gabriella and I worked for the nameless company that first aired music videos on cable television. We will refer to that company as Empty Pee. This is the same company owned by Gabriella's most recent employer, Shmiacom. Many assumed that life at Empty Pee must have been exceedingly glamorous. The truth of the matter was that we were working in the satellite business office in Chicago, and we were relegated to sweeping cinders and watching everyone else go to the ball.
There were a couple of rare, happy moments. We did get comp tickets to see Bill Maher perform, and we were also lucky enough to meet Melissa Etheridge before a concert for which we also got free tickets. And there was the one star-studded event in Chicago in 1997. In a fit of greed and self-importance, Shmiacom opened up a shop on the main drag in Chicago, Michigan Avenue in order to sell merchandise-read crap- from its many disparate channels and programs. It was open for probably a week (or 2 years) before it closed with a whimper. The store was definitely not one of Shmiacom's finest moments, but the launch party was uber fun for all of us in the Chicago office who were so often forgotten by the mother ship in New York City.
Where else would I ever get to see Jennifer Tilly, Daisy Fuentes, Sherman Hemsley and Greg Brady (aka Barry Williams) in one place? Cocktails were in order to celebrate such a momentous occasion, and we took full advantage of the open bar. It was after a drink or two that Gabriella leaned over the VIP rope separating the great unwashed from the glamorous super stars and yelled over the deafening party music in her loudest Italian-from-Queens voice, "JE-NI-FUH!!! JE-NI-FUH!!! WE LOVED YOU IN BOUND!!" I still have the photo of the three of us in a silver frame engraved with the word FRIENDS in different fonts around it. We spent the rest of the night accosting celebrities and posing with them for photos and making them smile big because they were clearly so very happy to meet us.
Gratuitous photo of Jennifer Tilly & Gina Gershon in Bound
Then there was the time that I met the Isabella Rossellini. I am forever grateful to JLF for inviting us to see a benefit performance of the Vagina Monologues during V-DAY in London featuring an amazing cast of celebs. But no one drew me in as much as the ever graceful and divinely beautiful Isabella. During her performance, I was on the edge of my seat drinking in her every word and searing her image into my memory forever. If I had known I'd be meeting her face to face at the after-party, I think I would have passed out in my seat.
And then the moment arrived. What to say? "I'm a big fan?" "I think you're really really pretty?" "When I saw you in that sick movie Blue Velvet, I knew you were the kind of little minx I could love forever?" Um, no. So I says to Isabella Rossellini, I says, "That was a wonderful reading. How is it that you came to read for the show?"
D to self: Ok, that was normal. Now just listen and nod and try not to make it obvious that you're imagining the two of you locked in a naked body embrace.
Isabella: Well, I had seen the show, and I found it so moving and important. And then Eve called me and asked me if I wanted to participate. Of course I wanted to be a part of it, and I said to her, 'Please, please you must use me!'
And then I sucker punched my super ego in the face allowing my id to escape and deliver a horrifying reply.
D: "Wow, I wish I had been on the other end of the phone when you had said those words."
Nervous laughter from Gabriella and a couple of friends who had witnessed the exchange. Isabella wasn't laughing. She had already politely excused herself to follow a platter of appetizers. Guess she wasn't too impressed.
I'm going to prepare for Whoopi. I thank Donna for tipping me off to her literary works. I'll be carrying Whoopi's Big Book Of Manners with me everywhere I go so that she can sign it during our chance meeting. I doubt she'll want to hear me say, "Hey Whoopi! I'd Act like your Sister if you'd let me! (wink)"

ReplyDelete I think I will forever be celeb-struck. Except for when it's a reality-show star. Last night I saw a Real Housewife from NJ and I was just sad.
The list of celebs I've embarassed myself in front of is not TOO long, but long enough: Adam Sandler, Wendy Wasserstein, Jared Leto, to name a few. Oh the Places I'll Go, some day, when I'm a graceful and classy broad.- Cheryl SlutzkySeptember 12, 2009 at 8:24 AM
You are a funny lady, Deb.
I'm a pushover for a celebrity and if there is one in my line of vision, my radar is activated. I've had some great encounters over the years: Standing at the corner of Madison and 90th as Kevin Kline crossed the street and stood right next to me--"I know who you are and I just want you to know that you have always been one of my favorite actors (no lie)." Kevin: "Well, thank you so much." I could barely walk after that one. I certainly couldn't work for the rest of the afternoon.
Some history as to my forwardness: One afternoon, many years ago, when we were living in an apartment in the Broadway theater distric (long story),a guy walked into the laundry room as I was folding my laundry. He said hello and began sorting his stuff for the machine. I kept thinking I knew him (this was after I decided that he wasn't a serial killer and I wasn't going to be found stuffed inside the clothes dryer)...I was sure he was the Broadway and soon- day-to-be TV veteran "Law and Order" detective Jerry Orbach. Jerry Orbach was in the first Broadway show I ever saw and I never forgot that. So instead of saying "Hi, I think you were in the first Broadway show I ever saw and I never forgot that," I kept quiet. A few years pass...I find out that yes! Jerry Orbach did live in that building... of course...it was on 8th Avenue and 53rd! Duh. And when he died, I was so sad. And I missed my golden opportunity to fold laundry with him that day and to tell him how great he was. Never again, I vowed...one of the few promises I made to myself to reform and actually kept.
So Deb, when you see Whoopi G. just blurt out the platitudes and have no regrets. MWP, I'm hoping you do blog about it. I'm thinking of initiating a foot-in-mouth day so that everyone can share. The stories are fantastic!
Cheryl, you've sealed the deal with that one! I'm so sorry you and Jerry didn't get to chat over your underwear. What musical was it?
Whoopi doesn't stand a chance if she's ever in striking distance.
I HEART Kevin Kline, too!!- Cheryl SlutzkySeptember 12, 2009 at 11:02 AM
The musical was "Carnival" and I was 11 years-old and Jerry Orbach was gorgeous!It was his first role after "The Fantasticks."
ReplyDelete - Mr. Alan S.September 13, 2009 at 9:47 PM
D: Hi, Whoopi, I'm a great admirer of yours and you wouldn't believe the huge similarity we almost have.
W: Why thank you. What do we have in common?
D: You were once on food stamps and I know someone who works with that program. And if he weren't so young, it might even be that he'd helped you get food!
W: Amazing.
D: Isn't it?!
W: Hmm.
D: BTW, seeing as my friend more or less saved you from starvation, seems like you could do a little something for me.
W: What's that?
D: Well, I'm looking for work. Got any positions available? Alan, I'm writing that down on an index card and carrying it with me 24/7. Poetically perfect. I love it. Now where's a safe place to keep it? Any thoughts?
Vikki, I'm hoping the line was lost in translation. She is foreign after all. But I so appreciate the support. AND, you are now Gabriella's biggest fan-after my sister..and me of course-because she LOVES LOVES LOVES Chrissy Hynde. As a matter of fact, we saw her in London on Harley Street (where all the doctors are. We were probably there during our path to pregnancy). Anyway, I told Gabriella to go say 'hello' so that she wouldn't kick herself later. Chrissy was polite but not exactly warm & fuzzy. What if we just caught her after a horrible doctor's appointment of some kind? Screw it. She'd do it again. You gotta love fans, right?So did you offer Michael J. some popcorn? No, that would be way too uncool for a New Yorker to do. I know. I love being an inappropriate Jersey girl!
I'm sure I have 4 VMA watches that died a month after I got them. Guess Empty Pee didn't want us to see how much time out of our lives we were wasting there.

Opera 10.0 Build 1691 Beta description
The most full-featured Internet power tool on the market, Opera includes tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, integrated searches and advanced functions like Operas groundbreaking e-mail program, RSS Newsfeeds and IRC chat. And because we know that our users have different needs, you can customize the look and content of your Opera browser with a few clicks of the mouse.
Feed Preview
Preview a Feed by clicking on the feed icon, and you will see it in clean and efficient multiple-column layout. This makes it easier to see a feed's content before subscribing to it — or even bookmarking it — and to view whats new in a page quickly, without distractions.
Opera Link
Opera Link lets you synchronize data of your choice online, or among different computers and devices. Sync your Speed Dial, Bookmarks, Custom Searches, History and Notes between your work and home computer; take your bookmarks with you on your phone. Learn more.
Quick Find
Have you ever forgotten the page where you found that great article or that perfect gift? When using Opera, the browser remembers not only the titles and addresses, but also the actual content of the Web pages you visit.
Opera Mail
Opera browser offers an e-mail client designed to optimize your daily e-mail-handling requirements. It is called Opera Mail, and it organizes, indexes and sorts your messages so that you can spend more time doing the real work. Best of all, it is built right into your browser.
New browser engine
We have made the fastest browser in the world even faster with superior support for Web standards. Opera is quicker to start, faster at loading Web pages and better at running your favorite Web applications.
Quick and customizable Web search
Get quick access to Google, eBay, Amazon and more with the search field in the upper right corner. Or, for even quicker searching, search directly in the address bar using built-in and customizable keywords. For example, type "g Opera" in the address bar to search for "Opera" with Google. You can also create your own Web search from any search field on the Internet, simply by right clicking on a search field and choosing "Create Search".
Existing Top Features
Existing Top Features
Speed Dial
Typing addresses for sites you visit frequently is ineffective. Get your favorite Web page with just one click. Speed Dial is a set of visual bookmarks you see when you open a new tab, like a dashboard for your online life. To add a new page, simply click on an empty Speed Dial slot, and Opera will make suggestions based on browsing history and bookmarks.
Mouse Gestures
With Opera you can navigate the Web with your mouse. A mouse gesture is performed while clicking and holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse in an easy pattern. Perform movements with the mouse to access well-known functions such as Back, Forward and Open New Tab. As with Operas keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures are fully customizable, so you can tailor them any way you want.
Download Manager with BitTorrent
Download files quicker with Opera. Opera starts downloading as soon as youve saved the file, so theres no wasted time. Pause and resume downloads with the push of a button, and choose multiple files to download simultaneously without any fuss. Opera also features built-in support for the social file distribution protocol, BitTorrent, which makes it easy to download Torrent files without the need for a separate application.
Tabs and Sessions
Opera is very light on your computer, so its possible to have many tabs open at once. Drag and drop tabs around to change their order, or get a preview pausing over them with your mouse. You can even save a session of tabs for later, making it easy to pick up where you left off.
Content blocking
Block images, pop-ups, and plug-ins you dont want . Right-click and choose "Block content" to selectively disable annoying elements. To make Web pages load faster, or to avoid offensive content, temporarily turn off images by pressing the image button. In Opera, smart pop-up blocking is turned on by default.
Zoom and Fit to width
Is it difficult to read the content on a page? Use Operas Zoom button in the lower right corner to resize Web pages. If the page is too wide for your screen, simply hit "Fit to Width" and Opera will resize the Web page so you avoid horizontal scrolling.
Stay safe with new Fraud Protection and EV
Not all Web pages are what they say they are. In Opera, Fraud Protection is enabled by default, automatically detecting and warning you about fraudulent Web sites. Fraud Protection is powered with phishing information from Netcraft and PhishTank, and Malware protection from Haute Secure. Malware is malicious software hidden throughout the Web. In addition Opera support Extended Validation certificates (EV). This provides added assurance and trust for secure Web sites. Read more about Opera Security.
Customize your browser
Opera is easily customizable. Choose among hundreds of skins and setups, add or remove buttons, toolbars, or change the entire layout of the browser. It is easy to do ... or undo.
Add a Widget to your life

Seacoast Health Resource Guide
One-Stop-Shopping for Health Care & Family Services at Families First
Families First Health and Support Center in Portsmouth, the Seacoast's nonprofit community health center, provides one-stop-shopping for a broad range of services - from primary care and dental care to prenatal care, mobile health care for the homeless, parenting classes, family programs, and home visiting for families facing special challenges.
Health care is for men, women and children of all ages and is for people with or without health insurance. Parenting and family programs are open to all families. Most are free and include free child care.
"Kathy"s Story
"Kathy" had a good job in the technology field and good health insurance. Then, she suddenly became disabled and could no longer work.
"Suddenly, I found out what happens when you don't have health insurance," she says. "No one wanted to take me, and my medications were so expensive I couldn't fill them. My front tooth chipped and I could not afford to get it fixed. A friend told me about Families First. I was leery of going to a 'clinic' - but what a surprise was in store for me!"
"It turns out this is the finest medical and dental care and prescription help I have ever received," she says. "This one facility meets all my needs, and what a great model if more health care could be this way. It is like a wheel, and all the care professionals are the spokes. At the center is my overall health, which is great today, thanks to Families First."
(To protect her privacy, Kathy is not the patient's name, nor is this her picture.)

Dog and pet friendly hotels
Pets are welcome at over 110 Best Western Hotels providing the largest inventory of tail wagging rooms in the UK!! We even have our own pet friendly hotels hotline! So pick up the dog and bone and give us a bell on *local rate 0845 373 1203!
Hotels that are dog friendly
But it's not just dogs that our pet loving hotels cater for. Our award winning pet friendly hotels love to welcome all kinds of guests - we have even agreed to provide a pig with a bed for the night! Our pet friendly hotels have rooms specifically designed for guests and their pets. Some of our selected dog friendly hotels even have designated sections and buildings such as 'canine corridors' to ensure that everyone can enjoy their dogs without imposing on those who are less keen. For example the BEST WESTERN Dower House has four rooms with direct access to the hotel gardens and the BEST WESTERN Bestwood Lodge offers dog owners the four 1st floor rooms nearest the grand staircase so that nothing stops doggie guests making a swift exit to the 700 acres of hotel grounds.
And to make sure our non dog-owning guests are still as happy, relaxed and comfortable as ever, pet friendly hotels dedicate rooms specifically for guests travelling with dogs AND rooms which are never used to accommodate pets. We have also invested in the latest vacuum cleaners designed specifically to cope with pet hairs to make sure our rooms are always of the same standard as those throughout the rest of the hotel.
Don't leave your pet behind! Let us assist you in locating the perfect hotel for you and your fury friend. To find a Best Western pet friendly hotel please call our dedicated pet friendly hotline on: *local rate 0845 373 1203.
Alternatively paw through our full list of pet friendly hotels.
Please note, some restrictions may apply, not all of our hotels are pet friendly.

I would have thought that there might be a standard tool for distributing the files in an efficient way. So far, I haven't found one. Assuming one has a network design which allows non blocking full duplex wire-speed connections between N/2 pairs of nodes where N is the number of nodes in the cluster. It is basically a non blocking coreswitch. In this case the following scheme would be convenient and rather simple: The file is placed on node n1 and one builds a chain of nodes n1 , n2 .... nN. One splits the file into many packages (p1..pM), lets say a fragment fits into one TCP package. In the first step n1 transmits the package p1 to node n2. In the second step n1 transmits the package p2 to n2 and n2 transmits p1 to node n3. The transmission of a single package is fast. The time of passing a particular package through the whole chain of nodes is short compared with time of the entire copying process. E.g., using jumbo frames a package can have the size of ca 10kB. In Gb network the transmission time of a single package between nodes is of the order of 0.1 ms. Even in a cluster with 1024 nodes it takes in an ideal case just 0.1s to pass a package from node n1 through all nodes to n1024. On each node the package is stored and, in the end, one reassembles the file. For big files (size >> 10Mb) the required time is approximately the same as one needs for copying the file between two nodes plus 0.1s. One needs basically a daemon which handles copying requests and establishes the connection to next node in the chain. Has somebody written such a tool?

An amendment to Ohio's constitution allowing the production of cannabis will appear as one issue on the ballot if supporters are able to gather the required number of signatures.
The Ohio Ballot Board made the ruling with a unanimous vote Thursday afternoon.
If approved, the Ohio ballot issue would declassify hemp as a drug and allow it to be grown as a crop. The Ohio Department of Agriculture would regulate it.
"We would urge that it makes more sense not to allow the continued importation of Canadian hemp when we have tremendously superior hemp in the state that could be grown," said Bob Fitrakis of the Ohio Rights Group.
The proposal also allows adults with a "debilitating medical condition" to "use, possess, acquire, and produce" marijuana. It would create a board, the Ohio Commission of Cannabis Control, to regulate therapeutic uses.
"The Ballot Board really isn't our view of is this a good idea or well thought out or well designed; it's just the question of does this make one amendment on the ballot or two amendments on the ballot if they get sufficient signatures," said Senate President Keith Faber, who sits on the board.
Supporters need to turn in 385,253 valid signatures from half of the state's 88 counties to get the issue on the ballot. The Ohio Rights Group, which is pushing the issue, says there is not enough time to get it on this year's ballot, so they are aiming for 2014.

What's Next For Occupy?
So the Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg – who happens to be a former Wall Street banker and the 12th most wealthy person in the US – has evicted the nucleus of the Occupy movement from Zucotti Park, where they had been camping for two months. In that process, the NYPD has not shunned violating constitutional rights, including the right to free speech and the right to protest, in addition to preventing the democratic press from doing its job. Books were burned.
This process is likely to repeat itself elsewhere. In the Netherlands, local politicians of the conservative liberal (and, arguably, banking-aligned) VVD party are demanding the exit of Occupy protesters from public places throughout the country. Public attention has declined. So what's next for the Occupy movement?
In all honesty, personally, while I am very sympathetic to a vocal social movement addressing the immense wealth and especially political power of global financial institutions, the injustices in that sector (such as exorbitant bonuses, the sale of intransparent financial products, and the power of credit rating agencies to almost topple entire economies), and rising economic inequality, I had become a bit disappointed with the Occupy movement. During my (admittedly short) visit to Occupy Amsterdam, what I saw was a shanty town with a lot of pot smokers and squatters, talking vaguely about the need to discuss, not have any organization, etc.
Of course any movement that starts out from a feeling of discontent needs time to organize and formulate demands, but the point of Occupy seemed to be to disavow any kind of organization or concretization. Again: I very much admire proto-democratic experiments, and disagreed with the choir of commentators who kept blattering from the very beginning that it was unclear what Occupy was about (that's very clear), but even a die-hard communal hippie has to admit that a certain point, you need organization and representation.
Occupy has historical predecessors way earlier than the Tahrir Square protesters. The early labour union movement in the nineteenth century everywhere started out grass-roots democratically; but during the way, they learned to organize, formulate demands, and still keep an internal democratic process. You need a distinction between principles and concrete demands, for instance; or a distinction between a general assembly and working groups; and people who specialize in tasks they're good at (like creating leaflets, organizing, negotiating, doing practical stuff, etc.). In that way, you can develop from an inspired, resounding but vague movement to an organization that actually works.
Once again, I completely understand the distaste of Occupy protesters for "standard" kinds of political organizaton, like political parties and trade unions, and wouldn't want them to develop in that way. But any movement that doesn't develop further than a general assembly that discusses every tiny little detail doesn't get very far (the meeting reports of Occupy Amsterdam attest to that). And now, public attention has declined, the authorities have zoomed in and it will probably not take long before the physical manifestion of Occupy on squares around the world disappears.
So what's next for Occupy? Opinion polls are showing that they have struck a nerve – in the US, but I imagine also elsewhere, economic inequality and financial malpractices are on the agenda, and opposed by a majority of voters. In that sense, Occupy has already been a success. Some people are arguing that the forced removal of protesters from squares may re-ignite the movement (it would have been wiser for the authorities to wait for winter). Others are saying that the Occupiers need to penetrate existing movements and organizations to address their (and our!) concerns.
Personally, I would like a vocal and identifiable Occupy movement to remain in existence, get its act together, and start thinking about ways to reform the system while continuing to exert pressure on the political-financial axis. This could be done by spreading awareness (the big pro of this movement) and keep protesting, even occupying places. After all, the big invention of the Arab Spring was the protesting technique of permanently occupying a place, rather than having your average one-afternoon demonstration. However, it is essential (I think) to develop an organization, first to make sure that encampments aren't turned into shantytowns, trouble makers are fended off, and violence doesn't spread; second to develop ideas, demands and rallying points, appoint representatives, and create a more focused media outreach.
Will this happen? Probably not, but I hope so. The Tea Party has shown that you can move from a vague movement to something approaching a working organization. For Occupy as well, it's probably time to move from subcultural self-expression to a fight for political change.
[The] truth is, Bloomberg might have just done Occupy Wall Street a favor. Next week, temperatures are projected to dip down to the high 30s. Next month, they're projected to dip into the mid-20s. The month after that, as anyone who has experienced a New York winter know, they're going to fall even lower.
The occupation of Zuccotti Park was always going to have a tough time enduring for much longer. As the initial excitement wore off and the cold crept in, only the diehards — and those with no place else to go — were likely to remain. The numbers in Zuccotti Park would thin, and so too would the media coverage. And in the event someone died of hypothermia, or there was some other disaster, that coverage could turn. What once looked like a powerful protest could come to be seen as a dangerous frivolity.
In aggressively clearing them from the park, Bloomberg spared them that fate. Zuccotti Park wasn't emptied by weather, or the insufficient commitment of protesters. It was cleared by pepper spray and tear gas. It was cleared by police and authority. It was cleared by a billionaire mayor from Wall Street and a request by one of America's largest commercial real estate developers. It was cleared, in other words, in a way that will temporarily reinvigorate the protesters and give Occupy Wall Street the best possible chance to become whatever it will become next.
The question is what, if anything, comes next for Occupy Wall Street. The movement has already scored some big wins. As this graph by Dylan Byers showed, they have changed the national conversation. Income inequality is now a top-tier issue. Before Occupy Wall Street, it wasn't.
And perhaps that will be the legacy of Occupy Wall Street. That would certainly be more than most protests achieve. If they are to go further, however, they are going to have to figure out a way to wield power in a more direct and directed form. The movement has always been uncertain on whether it wants to do that, and if it does, how to do it. It requires a willingness to work with the system that is, in certain ways, inimical to the founding of Occupy Wall Street. The good news, if they choose to make that transition, is that they don't need a park to do it. The bad news is that, in most cases, it requires more hierarchy, clearer leaders, a more obvious agenda.
Back in October, I asked Rich Yeselson, a union researcher and a scholar of social movements, what he thought Occupy Wall Street would need to do to survive and succeed. "Whether they will grow larger and sustain themselves beyond these initial street actions will depend upon four things," Yeselson said. "The work of skilled organizers; the success of those organizers in getting people, once these events end, to meet over and over and over again; whether or not the movement can promote public policy solutions that are organically linked to the quotidian lives of its supporters; and the ability of liberalism's infrastructure of intellectuals, writers, artists and professionals to expend an enormous amount of their cultural capital in support of the movement."
I still think that's right. So then: Can the post-Zuccotti Park incarnation of Occupy Wall Street furnish skilled organizers who are able to keep the protesters involved, come up with solutions — or at least problems — they're willing to agree on and fight for, and attract the sort of media attention that they need if they're going to be able to continue forcing their issues into the national conversation?
The odds are probably against it. The odds are against any social movement, always. But it's probably likelier under these conditions, where the occupiers were cleared from the park all at once, under sympathetic conditions, and so all of them can agree that this is the moment in which to decide what comes next.
Supporters of the Occupy movement are gearing up for a national day of protest and direct action across America, taking in dozens of events from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles.
Thursday has been declared a day of "solidarity" with the Occupy Wall Street activists in New York after their camp in lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park was raided and dismantled by police. But it is also aimed at highlighting several of the movement's broader aims in terms of income inequality and a desperate need for job creation in America's floundering economy.
The Occupy movement, which began two months ago with the occupation of Zuccotti Park, has since spread to scores of cities and towns across the country, with varying success. It has often rejuvenated left-leaning political activists but also brought down a heavy police response, frequently at the behest of city mayors.
In recent days, police evictions and crackdowns on protesters in New York, Seattle, Berkeley, Portland and other places have caused widespread condemnation of alleged heavy-handedness by police.
In New York, protesters are planning actions all day in each of the city's five boroughs. A potential early flashpoint will be a rally planned to begin at 7am that will target Wall Street itself, as the protesters seek to disrupt the operations of the New York Stock Exchange before the ringing of the opening bell that signals the start of trading at 9.30am.
Since the protests began, Wall Street has become a virtual permanent protest zone, ringed by steel fences and heavily policed. Later actions are planned to take place across the city's subway system, as marchers will enter at 16 different stations and begin protesting.
Finally, the day will end with a rally at Foley Square, near New York's Town Hall, and then a march to the Brooklyn Bridge, where hundreds of protesters were arrested in a previous headline-grabbing mass action.
Bridges will be the focus of some actions in other cities too. In Boston, Detroit, Washington DC, Portland and Seattle, protesters, some allied with union workers and community groups, will march on high-profile bridges in order to highlight the problem of America's crumbling and underfunded infrastructure.
The range of activities across America spans a spectrum from the dramatic to the small-scale, including teach-ins, rallies and direct actions aimed at banks and corporations. In Portland, Oregon, protesters plan to target a city bridge and then try to organise flashmobs to go to local banks. In Detroit, protesters are marching from their camp downtown to the city's municipal centre, where they aim to highlight the brutal impact of government cuts on ordinary citizens.

Winny Gets Her First Coyote!
Posted 17 August 2012 - 05:58 PM
So with the rifle shooting good I decided to head to the Forest to look around. I took Sophie who is now about 7 monthes old in the hopes of letting her see a Coyote. We set up camp at about 4PM, and went and made a couple evening stands. She is fun to take cus even though She is a Mutt so to speak, she gets excited whenever I grab a rifle to go hunting. Here is a pic of the Camp
And of course Sophie had to be the first one to try it out! lol
...So we came back to camp ate some Gourmet Hot links and Chili and got ready to try it again in the morning. The first 2 stands came up empty,but at about 9:00am I found a great overlook that had some clearing as well as trees. I started with a jack distress sound, and to My suprise I see one coming out of the forest at about 300 yds away. Being up High I had a pretty good view, but after a few minutes I could not find the Coyote. All of the sudden Sophie let out some real soft growls, and a whoof. Here was the Coyote coming straight at Me! She spotted him! I was like a Proud Father! Anyway The coyote stopped directly behind 2 stumps and was looking our direction. I put the crosshairs on its chest and The Winny and the 55 grn'r did the rest. Here is the Coyote and the Winny..
He looked like an old scrapper.
I didnt take any full shots of the Coyote cus that .243 really messed him up!
Here you can see the pic back from My uphill location, and see the Coyote on the stump.
There were no more takers, and I saw next to nothing for sign either. But getting Sophie to get Her first up close look at a Coyote made the trip for Me! I couldnt get a pic with Her and the Coyote, She got close once, woofed at it and didnt want anything else to do with it! LOL
But it was a great couple days with Sophie The Coyote Dog. I hope she doesent lose Her desire to hunt. Thanks for looking!

Ed, I hope they get that fire out up your way soon! I hope to take Sophie to a few more locations that hopefully will contain more Coyotes. But it sure was fun seeing her pay attn when hunting.
Yateswell, Im happy with the Mitts so far, But it sure gets full quick when you pack a few days worth of camping gear! lol

Anyway, pretty cool (& funny story) that Sophie helped make a great hunt even better. Looks like a nice coyote you slayed also! Hmmmmm, btw, I once had a cat name Sophie. Not sure what that means though?
Congratulations, and

Hey, Grant, that was one hexx of a shot on that coyote, especially since the holes on the target missed the red dot entirely
Actually that is a 3' paper plate and a 10" dime from the joke shop! The only real difference between the Winny and My Remmy is that they BOTH miss.. But the Winny just groups the Misses Better!
Thanks for the comments Guys. Sophie feels like a Internet star now! lol I dont know that she would ever be a Decoy dog, but her eyes and "sniffer" are always working and are much better than mine!

Sophie spotted her second this Morning! We went out just before light and made a stand about 600 yds from the House. She was half way between Me and the caller. She was looking at some brush on the right side of My stand, and let out her lil growls, and then came trotting back to Me. After about 4 mins a YOY Coyote emerged from the brush at about 75 yds right where Sophie was looking.. It dropped like a stone with the .243. It was already covered with Mange. No wonder the Coyote population seems to be down around here. This time Sophie went right up to the Coyote, prolly due to the smaller size. Here are some Pics.
You can see how bad the Mange is in this pic.

Grant, it sure looks like those 55 grainers do a number on the dogs. Appears you found your ole wiley load, eh?! OH, btw, are those lead or non lead 55 gr bullets? I know dabob used a non lead 55 gr recently, but "assumed" yours was lead?
Anyway, pretty cool again about Sophie... She will only get better with age!
Congrats again, and keep up the good work

Hatchling |
Coastal Wildlife Club monitors the beaches of Gasparilla Island, Little Gasparilla Island and Manasota Key. CWC volunteers head out early each day to walk miles of local beaches, searching for signs of new sea turtle nests.
The 2012 sea turtle nesting season was shaping up to be a record breaker. As of June 22, there were more than 2,000 documented and confirmed sea turtle nests in the territory CWC covers.
That number included nine green sea turtle nests and a single Kemp's ridley sea turtle nest. While the loggerhead sea turtle is threatened, the green and Kemp's ridley are both endangered and their nests are rare on local beaches.
Then, Tropical Storm Debby churned through, soaking and washing turtle nests with a one-two punch of heavy rains and high tides.
Because of the storm, the month of July saw only a few hatchlings, rather than tens of thousands, making their way into the waters of the Gulf. Through all of this the sea turtles continued to nest, even coming ashore during the worst of Debby's impact.
Those nests, an unknown number, and the earliest of the more than 1,500 documented after the storm, are ready to erupt (hatch).
"This week could be lethal, though, for little sea turtles emerging from nests," said Wilma Katz, vice president of CWC, in an email to local media outlets. "Hatchlings are guided to the water by the lighter, open horizon of the night sky over the sea," explained Katz. "Adult females are guided back to the sea similarly after nesting. Both can be led astray by our lights."
Lights will be especially dangerous in the coming week. The new moon is on August 17, and, of course, the sky is darkest then and during the days surrounding a new moon. Even very dim lights can easily overwhelm the starlight reflected on the water, which turtles use to navigate.
According to Katz, this was not much of a problem during July, for a very depressing reason.
"In July, there were few hatchling disorientation incidents in great part because there were virtually no hatchlings to be led astray," said Katz. "Lost nests don't produce turtles."
August will be different. Help is needed from residents, visitors and beachgoers to prevent the loss of hatchlings.
What can you do to help?
"Sea turtles need dark beaches so they'll see the right light," said Katz. "Regardless of color, all lights visible from the beach should be shielded or turned off."
Also, if you dig holes in the beach, make sure to fill them before you leave so that erupting hatchlings do not get trapped. Dispose of any food remains, which attract predators.

Iron Mountain Bureau Reporter
DonorsChoose.org partners with BOSS
IRON MOUNTAIN -- Mrs. Wood's third grade class at Niagara Elementary loves to read. "The kids love to read about real events, real facts, and animals," said Wood. "I like to read about lions and dinosaurs," said student Marley Tobey.
The funding, however, to purchase more books for the students is just not available. But thanks to DonorsChoose.org, it is. Teachers submit classroom project ideas online which can then be funded through community donations.
In order for the classroom projects to be fully funded, the community needs to be involved. This is where BOSS Snowplow in Iron Mountain is making a difference. "I got an e-mail the other day saying that BOSS Snowplow will fund half of the project if someone else will go and donate the other half," Wood said.
It's part of BOSS Snowplow's "Snowcare for Kids" campaign. "We were looking for a way to help out local public schools, so we started this pilot program that's going to extend into the Upper Peninsula and northern-bordering Wisconsin counties," said BOSS Snowplow Marketing Specialist, Jodie Gilroy.
That pilot program is a partnership with DonorsChoose.org, the same organization to which Mrs. Wood submitted a request. So not only will BOSS offer to fund half, but they're getting locals involved, too.
From now until March 31, every customer that purchases a BOSS snowplow or spreader will receive a $50 dollar gift card to spend on DonorChoose.org to fund a project. This would give Mrs. Wood's class the chance to receive those needed books. "Brand-new books. Nothing better," Wood said. "That would be exciting because if there were piranha books, I would read them," Tobey said.
