Venture brothers "fallen arches" was back on track. Nice to see Orph with his own team. Nice use of Ouroboros and the All-Seeing Eye as a logo, too.



Ah, explanation why that notification thing only worked for some people before.



James Good (the same guy that made this video) has more aerial photos taken with his RC airplane over Miami..shots from about 800 feet up, and stunning.



Voted Yesterday - these guys were who I was rooting for. Let's hope most follow through, and only a bare minimum kick me in the pelotas. My emphasis was on pro-education, environment, minimal pork, and other typical Scotto-type stuff. The line was incredibly short at 6pm. I wonder about the turnout.

Dear Lazyweb - Getting close to donation-time again, and I'm considering heifer.org againGeotarget

To Whom it may concern:

If you had $200 to donate to a charitable organization, who would you give it to, and why?

I'm always on the lookout for good, solid charities... ones that do good works with a minimum of skimming by executives off of the top. Any suggestions?



Found this on Forbes - America's Most (And Least) Efficient Charities



Got to show the system to Aphrodite Jones today. A pleasant lady, seems very intelligent and together. Hopefully she'll get an opportunity to push info along to powers that be for more facetime in the media.

I really dig her name.

I don't know how you feel about animal conservation:

http://www.wildlifewarriors.org.au/

Steve Irwin's friends/coworkers were talking about his charity on CNN last night. After seeing the numerous documentaries about him on Animal Planet the last two days - I'm impressed. I didn't think all that much about him before, but holy cow....he was one in a millonS. I was pretty stunned to hear him talk about what he's done for animals worldwide -- not just in Australia. Not just part-time, but full-time. I wish I could have told you to watch them, I think you would have been impressed.

None of the donation goes toward admin costs (see webpage for explanation) - all of it goes toward worldwide wildlife conservation.

Or maybe the U.S. Humane Society? I always think of donating to them as a gift that can give for about 15 years or more -- to an animalm, any of his/her fur buddies (horse-cat-whatever), as well as the animal's future humans.

Oh and -- any idea why the need to make a notification for when someone on our friends list uploads a new userpic??

I thought the userpic alert was a bit silly, m'self. "quick! bandit427's icon is now a chocolate-covered pretzel!"

Right? There's curious...and there's obsessive & silly. When LJ continually adds piddly things like that, I have to shake my head & wonder how that's more important than certain broked stuffs around here. ;)

I guess it's just an easy thing to add. I *do* like the notification on specific comment threads tracking.

I want a democrat as governer, but I'm sure glad that Crist won the Rep nomination. He's pretty liberal for a Republican, so it makes me feel better knowing that even if it goes that way we won't be dealing with a complete idiot. He's pro-choice and for same sex unions.

Oh, I'm 99% sure Crist is winning the election, and that's a good thing. a lot of pro-kid stuff on his platform, too.

You could donate to a wildlife rescue in FL this month. I was told they get extra taxed around hurricaine season and need all the help they can get. Most of the wildlife rescue people aroun dhere aren't really organized--they are people who take animals into their modified living areas--so I would think that the money would have more of a direct effect. Although I suppose there would be the danger that they could pocket it and buy slurpees with it.

I liked "fallen arches" a lot too, I think Dr Orpheus, mya be one of my favorite characters and his Traid was cool.
Does the tall Monarch henchman remind you of Ray Romano?
Aphrodite Jones sounds like the name of a Blacksploitation film.

The tall one is a total voice-ripoff or Ray Romano... nasal whiner!

I'm pretty fond of Dr. Orph and his Daughter, too. Nifty to see a "supernatural team" in that universe.

Aphrodite Jones sounds *completely* like a blackspoitation character.

I've been donating to the National MS Society. They've developed new treatments for people with MS that are looking like cures in trial studies. I have a good friend in a trial and she says she's symptom free and is actually organizing a team to race (bikes) and raise money for the society.

https://www.nationalmssociety.org/home/login.asp?j=1&m=d

But my mom has MS and so does my close friend, so it's personal.

But on the other hand, they really seem to be at a tipping point!

FYI- sometimes i want to reply to you and am unable to, do you think it's because i'm anonymous?

that is strange... anony-folk should be able to post as long as they do the little code-bit at the end.

I'll ask the lj gods, and see.

MS is a good one... I used to do the read-a-thon as a kid.
