TRICK OR TREAT!
(otional) A fully-charged portable or mini-tv (not that the new digital models can receive very much, if anything off air these days) - I always laugh when the TV news anchors say "If the power goes out we'll still be here" - haha - the 2011 twist on this is "download our app and watch us on your cellphone." But they don't realize a lot of people either have no clue how to download apps or even how to find them, while a lot more people own cellphones that don't do apps!(2) A couple of those small multi-band radios with the alternative power supplies, hand-crank and built-in flashlight. RADIO is how you will ideally get your info. My radio has a carrying strap so I just toss it over my shoulder and I'm good to go.

My husband and the kids were camping this weekend. I had such a relaxing Friday night! I did not have to cook, there was no laundry to do, and I didn’t have to make sure that the kids went to bed at a reasonable time so that they could make it to their soccer game in the morning. I took a nice long bath and painted my nails. I poured a glass of wine ( maybe two) and watched all of the “Antiques Roadshow” episodes that I had missed in the last few months. I curled up with the dog on the sofa and let him sleep in the house. I also spent time surfing the internet. I read all of the gossip websites and checked into the adt price because we have been planning on getting a home alarm system. It was probably the most relaxing Friday night that I have had in a long time. I really wish that my husband would take the kids camping more often!

via The Albany Times-Union ::: Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top secretary urged Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings on Friday to instruct city police to remove Occupy Albany protesters from a downtown park near the state Capitol if they tried to remain there after an 11 p.m curfew.
A person familiar with the matter said Cuomo’s secretary, Larry Schwartz, called Jennings late Friday morning and said that State Police, who control half of the park that is partly owned by the state of New York and city of Albany, would remove any protesters who did not comply with a curfew. The position of the governor’s office was in contrast to an earlier plan by Albany police to leave the protesters alone if they were peaceful, even if they stayed overnight.
Occupy Albany demonstrators began arriving at Lafayette/Academy park around noon. Half of the space is state land, the rest city property.
So, are lines being drawn in the sand between state and city government?The scuffle from Sat night at Occupy Albany from Kirk Jalbert on Vimeo.

I prefer to have as much as possible STORED on my computer! That goes for emails, blogs, photos, videos, etc. Sure, I'll have them stowed away "up there" - but it is always best to keep files saved you can work on stuff if you cannot get online!Google works for me!
