Food pantrys are low everywhere for both people and pets. Here's a link for the latter:
The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals for free'. This doesn't cost you a thing. No need to enter any data. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/

This is pretty simple... Please pass it along to people you know. If you know of a link providing food to pantrys and/or soup kitchens, please share it with me.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving.

Renewable Energy Wrecks Environment, According To Researcher

"Renewable does not mean green.

Building enough wind farms, damming enough rivers, and growing enough biomass to meet global energy demands will wreck the environment.

Renewables may be renewable but they are not green.

If we want to minimize new structures and the rape of nature, nuclear energy is the best option."

how to fly

"When you come to the edge of all the light you have known and are about to step out into the darkness, faith is knowing one of two things will happen… There will be something to stand on or You will be taught how to fly.”

Pickpocket Almanack

Pickpocket Almanack is an experimental school without walls. Each season, under the direction of independent curator Joseph del Pesco, a temporary faculty comprised of artists, designers, writers, and filmmakers creates theme-based courses by selecting from a diverse series of scheduled public Bay Area events, including lectures, screenings, workshops, and panels. Each course takes these events out of context and gives them a new thematic frame, providing a set of journeys through Bay Area cultural life, as well as some new connections and unexpected discoveries, led by some of the community's most distinctive cultural figures. Faculty for the fall season includes Les Blank, Jens Hoffmann, Ben Kinmont, Beth Lisick, and Rick and Megan Prelinger.

Discussion is conducted online, with participants and faculty meeting in person at the end of each season. There are no age or experience requirements, and all courses are free and not for credit (tickets may be required for some programs and events). Participants may enroll in a maximum of two courses per season; space may be limited for some courses. Enrollment for the fall season (October through December 2009) begins on September 23.
