			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my twitter friends, @ultimike, recently linked me to a story from the Orlando Sentinel about a homeowner&#8217;s association in East Orlando that won&#8217;t let someone get a light-colored roof, which could save them $100 &#8211; $150 per month on their electric bill because it won&#8217;t match the &#8220;harmony&#8221; of the rest of the neighborhood.</p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/breakingnews/os-white-roof-hoa-20100704,0,641680.story">Orlando homeowner battles HOA, wants roof to reflect energy-saving ethic</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>She said she understands that her neighbors denied the request because no one else has a white roof.</p>
<p>But &#8220;until you get one white roof, you can&#8217;t have two. Until you have two, you wouldn&#8217;t have three,&#8221; Piper said. &#8220;If we did all the roofs at one time, with $100 of savings a year on each one and 100 homes, that&#8217;s $10,000 … for electricity that is just wasted now.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A really great cover story appeared in last week&#8217;s issue of the Orlando Weekly, our local independent news source. It talks about the <a href="http://www.homegrowncoop.org/">Homegrown local food co-op</a>, a community-supported agriculture non-profit organization here in Central Florida. They recently re-located to the Florida Hospital&#8217;s &#8220;Health Village&#8221; campus. Seventh-Day Adventists are really into a healthy diet &#8211; I believe their patients eat mostly vegetarian/vegan &#8211; and they run the hospital system, which is one of the largest in the country.</p>
<p>From &#8220;<a href="http://www.orlandoweekly.com/features/story.asp?id=13950">Betting on the Farm</a>&#8221; by Lindy T. Shepherd:</p>
<blockquote><p>But Florida Hospital’s Paradis deliberately partnered with an entity outside of the hospital’s insular system, rather than re-create the project within the hospital system. “I’m big enough to do the whole thing,” says Paradis of the hospital’s resources, “but I’m choosing to talk to (Homegrown Co-op), because (those) guys are so passionate – I call Michael and Emily ‘community passionaries.’” </p></blockquote>
<p>They will also be opening a retail store sometime in the Fall, according to the article. On Orange Avenue, on one end of the &#8220;Antique Row&#8221; along Lake Ivanhoe. Orlando has sorely needed something like this for a long time, and now thanks to a generous matching grant program from Florida Hospital, it can become a reality, despite a rough economic climate.</p>
<p>The Weekly article says Homegrown will not be selling pork products because of Florida Hospital&#8217;s involvement. That&#8217;s a small price to pay for such a huge leg-up in your third year of existence. I honestly can&#8217;t wait for the retail store to open, and for Orlando to become a bit more self-sustaining.</p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendell_Berry"><img class="alignleft" title="Wendell Berry" src="https://www.stetson.edu/secure/apps/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Wendell-Berry-e1264005659130.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="199" /></a>Yes my friends it is true.  <a title="Wendell Berry" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendell_Berry">Wendell Berry</a> one of my favorite authors is <a href="https://www.stetson.edu/secure/apps/wordpress/?p=14859">speaking at Stetson University</a> in a free lecture series <span style="color: #e19553;">Monday night the 1st of February</span>.  I&#8217;m heading up to attend the lecture and I can&#8217;t even express how excited I am.  Berry&#8217;s non-fiction writing has played a pivotal role in developing many of my beliefs.  Through his writing I&#8217;ve come to appreciate the importance of nurturing of our local community, that the good life is more than consuming and that working with the earth, even in the middle of a modern city, is vitally important to the health and well-being of my family.</p>
<p>The lecture is sponsored by the university’s Values Council. His talk, “<span style="color: #e19553;">Simple Solutions and Package Deals</span>,” is based on the council’s theme for the year, “<span style="color: #e19553;">How Shall We Live?</span>”.  Berry will be <span style="color: #e19553;">discussing the impact of economic globalization on the way we live</span> and it&#8217;s sure to be lecture chock-full of thought provoking ideas.</p>
<blockquote><p>According to Berry, the good life includes sustainable agriculture, appropriate technologies, healthy rural communities, connection to place, the pleasures of good food, husbandry, good work, local economics, the miracle of life, fidelity, frugality, reverence, and the interconnectedness of life (via <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendell_Berry">wiki</a>).</p></blockquote>
<p>Here are the details of the lecture: <span style="color: #e19553;">Stetson University at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 1</span>, in the Lee Chapel of Elizabeth Hall, 421 N. Woodland Blvd.  The event is free and the public is invited to attend.</p>
<p>Hope to see you there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We finally heard from our friends at the St. Isidore parish in Haiti.  As many of you know I have been very involved with <a title="http://www.stmargaretmary.org/Haiti.htm" href="http://www.stmargaretmary.org/Haiti.htm">Saint Margaret Mary&#8217;s mission to Haiti this past year</a>.  I was there in August shooting video for a documentary about our work with these incredible people.  Anyhow we had a team heading down Wednesday morning that were diverted due to the earthquake.</p>
<p>For the last few days we have been unable to get any calls through to Pere Elicio, St. Isidore&#8217;s the head priest, or Baba, the young man that runs the livestock and Peace Program.  Well today, finally, Baba was able to get a short call into us and below are Ken&#8217;s notes on the call.

<blockquote><p>I received a call from Baba at 10:45 this morning.  He and Elmicia, his wife. and Cecilia, his baby, are fine.</p>
<p>Baba reported that at 4 pm Tuesday he was at Saint Benoit in the meeting room across from the old church working with Peace Program members.  They were putting final touches on a presentation they were going to make to our group.  All of a sudden they felt the building shaking.  They ran outside.  As with reports from so many others, Baba said that the shaking seemed to go on forever though it was just a matter of seconds.  None of the buildings suffered damage.  He immediately walked back to Saint Isidore.  There he found Pere Elico, the principal of the school and other parish staff.  The rectory, clinic and school buildings were okay; no damage.  Baba said, “we all got together and began praying to the Lord.  We prayed for a long time to thank Jesus that we were alive”.  Tuesday night we slept outside because we were afraid to stay inside any building.</p>
<p>Early Wednesday morning Baba and a driver set off for the airport in Port-au-Prince.  At that time I do not believe they had any sense of the damage.  They did not want us to be at the airport alone.  As they drove down the main highway they began to see more and more devastation.  Here Baba mentioned the towns through which we pass.  Each town was more and more devastated as they neared Port-au-Prince.  “We saw more and more broken houses dead bodies along the road”, Baba commented.  When we got to Port-au-Prince “I could not believe what I see; many building broken and bodies everywhere”.  When we got to the airport we could see that there were not planes.</p>
<p>Baba continued, “on the way back I got off at the Texaco.(the way they describe the place where the road to Jacmel meets the highway)  I took a motorcycle taxi take because the road was all broken.  There were places where me and the driver had to carry the motorcycle”.  I remember that the highway to Jacmel was the best in Haiti.  Baba arrived in Jacmel at 4 pm.  “When I got to Jacmel I  found the situation terrible like Port-au-Prince”.  The building were “broken” and “there were many many dead people on the streets”. “I was so worry. I kept praying Jesus my family okay.” He crossed the river and went up to his home in Basin Bleu.  He found his wife and baby were okay.  His house suffered no damage.  “All of neighbors met and we prayed God’s blessing”.</p>
<p>Baba has not been able to contact Pere Elicio.  I asked him to keep trying.  Here is some general information Baba reported.  He said that he will attempt to call tomorrow about this time.  I tried to call him back immediately as a test but could not get through to him.</p>
<p>*The big problem for everybody is food.  Food is expensive.<br />
*”Big trucks on road can’t go”.<br />
*He said that money coming in for all projects will “push things going”.<br />
*He said a few times that we can get to Saint Isidore and “no problem”.  I got the feeling that they would like to see the group that had planned to go this week.  Maybe it is a morale issue; they may not feel alone.<br />
*The trip from Saint Isidore by car is five hours.  While the highway is bad, you can get through.  Indecently, that is about the amount of time it took to travel that distance about 10 years ago.<br />
*Baba said there is no trouble for them to get us at the airport.  The roads around Saint Isidore are about the same as usual.<br />
I will send you an update when or if I get another call from Baba or talk to Pere Elico.</p></blockquote>

<p>The stories and images reminded me of the growing up years I spent on the <a title="http://www.deseretranchflorida.com/h-history.html " href="http://www.deseretranchflorida.com/h-history.html">Deseret Ranch</a> hunting and fishing along the <a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econlockhatchee_River" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econlockhatchee_River">Econlockhatchee river</a> in east Orange Country with my Father.  Walking through the pastures and wetlands of this area I often saw the remnants and traces of the bygone Cracker era.   <a title="http://www.cfmemory.org/Learn/Stories/StoryView.php?s=19" href="http://www.cfmemory.org/Learn/Stories/StoryView.php?s=19">Dilapidated turpentine</a> stills and Cypress mills with their rusted artifacts proved an imagination stirring site for me.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-212" title="turpentine" src="http://alocalfolkus.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/turpentine.png" alt="turpentine" width="322" height="323" />With these haunting memories still a stir I had the good fortune of discovering the <a title="http://www.myfloridahistory.org/" href="http://www.myfloridahistory.org/">Florida Historical Society’s</a> website and their weekly radio magazine <a title="http://www.myfloridahistory.org/frontiers" href="http://www.myfloridahistory.org/frontiers">Florida Frontiers</a>. A visit to their show’s website offered an archive of truly fascinating Florida history.  The show airs on our local public radio station <a title="http://www.wmfe.org/site/PageServer?pagename=radio_" href="http://www.wmfe.org/site/PageServer?pagename=radio_">90.7 WMFE</a> on Thursday&#8217;s at 6:30 and you can <a title="http://www.myfloridahistory.org/audio/feed" href="http://www.myfloridahistory.org/audio/feed">subscribe to their podcast</a> as well.</p>
<p>I’m seriously excited about exploring their archive and catching the show each week.  I hope it continues to stoke my desire to explore Central Florida&#8217;s unique history.  I’m sure you’ll be seeing other posts about Cracker Culture here in the future.  I never thought about A Local Folkus might also showcase the folks of Florida&#8217;s past but heck they’re pretty interesting too!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.slowfoodorlando.org/eat-local-week.html"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-155" title="Eggs" src="http://alocalfolkus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Eggs.jpg" alt="Eggs" width="123" height="179" /></a>Eating locally is more than just buying food that is at the peak of freshness and not shipped cross country from California, more importantly it is about supporting our local food economy, its community and its unique culture.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #e19553;">By doing so it becomes normal to know your producers, to build relationship with the local farmers who supply your free-range eggs and organically grown produce and to know that you are getting the highest quality food for your food dollar</span>.</span> By supporting the “local” farmer’s markets like Audubon Park Community Market you are strengthening the bonds that connect each of us to the land from which our food comes and to the caring hands that provided these food stuffs for our consumption.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.slowfoodorlando.org/eat-local-week.html"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-160" title="EatLocalWeekLogo" src="http://alocalfolkus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/EatLocalWeekLogo-231x300.jpg" alt="EatLocalWeekLogo" width="120" height="156" /></a>Slow Food in an effort to champion this vital connection is sponsoring an <a title="http://www.slowfoodorlando.org/eat-local-week.html" href="http://www.slowfoodorlando.org/eat-local-week.html">Eat Local Week January 25th &#8211; 31st</a>.  Below is an excerpt from their promotional materials for this event.  You can be sure Kamrin and I will be fully supporting this week long event and you can expect to see a few write ups and videos on our site about it.  So take a look at the excerpt below and let us know in the comments what you are doing to participate in <a title="http://www.slowfoodorlando.org/eat-local-week.html" href="http://www.slowfoodorlando.org/eat-local-week.html">Eat Local Week</a>.  Following an excerpt is a video of <a title="http://www.chezpanisse.com/about/chez-panisse/" href="http://www.chezpanisse.com/about/chez-panisse/">the mother of America’s Slow Food movement Alice Waters</a> to give you a bit more insight into what Slow Food is all about.</p>
<p><span style="color: #e19553;"><strong>EAT LOCAL WEEK -  January 25th &#8211; 31st</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ffffff;"><em><strong>Participate in a week-long celebration promoting connection, community, culture and cuisine in Central Florida.  Grab your family, friends and neighbors and head to participating dining establishments during the last week of January, 2010</strong></em></span></span><br />
<span id="more-136"></span><br />
<strong>Goals of Eat Local Week:</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #e19553;"><strong>Emphasize that eating local in Central Florida is not only possible, it’s delicious</strong></span> – ?The Eat Local Week definition of “local” is anything within 200 miles of Orlando’s city center.  Featured farmers and artisans for Eat Local week come from as far away as Clewiston.</p>
<p><span style="color: #e19553;"><strong>Help local restaurants, farmers and artisans to develop lasting, mutually beneficial relationships</strong></span> – ?Slow Food Orlando wants to see locally owned and operated farms and restaurants succeed.  By facilitating relationship building between Central Florida dining establishments, farmers, ranchers, and artisans we hope to help businesses grow and become more profitable.</p>
<p><span style="color: #e19553;"><strong>Build consumer awareness of local food and farmers, and promote reconnection with family and friends around the dinner table</strong></span> – ?Slow Food is all about taking the time to savor the food we eat and the people we share it with.  When our food is produced in a sustainable, responsible and consciences manner it is healthier for the environment and healthier for us.</p>
<p><span style="color: #e19553;"><strong>Raise awareness about the importance of a local food economy and keeping money in our community</strong></span> – ?Purchasing food direct from producers or dining out at restaurants that feature locally grown ingredients cuts out the middle man and puts your money directly in the pocket of the people who produce your food.  When you, the consumer, spend your money with local businesses those businesses reinvest your dollars in the community, thus contributing to a more sustainable future for Central Florida’s food system.</p>

<p>Florida Creatives happy hours are an incredible melting pot of talent.  I’ve always come away with <strong>fresh inspiration, a few more creative contacts and with a full belly of gumbo and good beer</strong>.  Particularly if you are a freelancer or a work-from-home creative, this happy hour is a great way to meet other creative-shut-ins and make inroads to establishing your personal brand in Orlando’s creative community.</p>
<p>As an appetizer of the kind of crazy talent you can find in the Florida Creative members check out the amazing work of <a title="http://twitter.com/pliniopinto" href="http://twitter.com/pliniopinto">Plinio Pinto</a> of <a title="http://www.grapesodastudio.com" href="http://www.grapesodastudio.com">GrapeSodaStudio,Inc.</a> I just discovered his work though the Florida Creatives and I his illustrations are seriously “Legend”.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.midwestbookreview.com/rbw/nov_09.htm">Midwest Book Review&#8217;s</a> review of <em>The Curable Romantic</em>:</p>
<blockquote><p>How to meet, greet, and get along with members of the opposite sex is an eternal conundrum for so many otherwise well-meaning and intelligent people who seem to have no clue as to how to behave and what to talk about on a first date; dealing with the pitfalls of &#8216;love triangle&#8217; relationships; ending a relationship with grace, style and dignity; and all the other elements that can sabotage a romance in this day and age. That&#8217;s why Katharine Miller&#8217;s <em>The Curable Romantic: Advice For The Romance-Impaired</em>, an impressive, practical, and &#8216;user friendly&#8217; compilation of informed and informative essays on love and relationships is such a welcome instructional for anyone seeking help in figuring out who they should date, how they should conduct a proper (and effective) courtship, and everything else from the use of pet names to dealing with keepsakes after a breakup. Thoughtful, thought-provoking, and written with a distinctly humorous flair, <em>The Curable Romantic</em> is very highly recommended reading for the &#8216;romance challenged&#8217;.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>We’re all a little romance-impaired in some way. Otherwise we’d have fewer self-help books and sappy love songs. The road to love is bumpy. Hell, the road within love is bumpy, steep, and has several sharp curves.</em></p>
<p><em>The Curable Romantic</em> is a short collection full of humorous essays and illustrations focused on the challenges one encounters in matters of the heart. Each of the 25 essays explores a different aspect of relationships, from falling in love to calling it quits.</p>
<p>Katharine Miller, the author of the collection, is not a sex expert, doctor of human behavior, or famous advice columnist. Drawing on inspiration from real life dating experiences, Miller provides new insight into romantic behavior and shares some possible solutions and tips for successful relationships.</p>
<p>When you need a fresh perspective on relationships and have grown tired of the Men are from Mars and Just Not that into You self-help selections, pick up <em>The Curable Romantic.</em></p>

<p>If you are still subscribed to this RSS feed, this is a very late notification that these posts will all be migrated over to <a href="http://floridacreatives.com">FloridaCreatives.com</a> shortly. Florida Creatives takes the same creative spirit behind this podcast and incorporates a tangible element: at this time, a group of 50 or so people is meeting each third Monday of the month at the Crooked Bayou in Downtown Orlando.</p>
<p>Please change your subscription, as Liberatr::Art::meta() will be dissolving sometime this year. Thank you for your support, comments, suggestions and your listenership, and thanks to Ashley, Carlos and Phil, as well as Vlad and Wendy for doing these initial interviews. Your permalinks will still be good and the downloads for the mp3s will still work for a little while, but make sure you check Florida Creatives if you ever lose them.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d especially love for all of our past guests to attend the meetup in March on the 19th or April on the 16th.</p>
<p>Peace,<br />
Ryan Price</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are too lazy to email (liberatr [at] gmail dot com), but you use a service that supports tagging (Vox, LiveJournal, YouTube, Flickr, del.icio.us, WordPress, Technorati, Blogger, etc.) you can simply tag your posts &#8220;orlandovideo&#8221; and I will hopefully be able to find them that way. I am going to set up a subscription to these tags in any services I use and monitor them regularly to see what&#8217;s coming in. The neat thing about this tag: we might get some happy accidents in the way of typos that lead us to Orlando Videos anyway.</p>
<p>It won&#8217;t take but an extra 2 seconds to click down to the &#8220;tags&#8221;, &#8220;labels&#8221; or &#8220;categories&#8221; area of your favorite application and type orlandovideo, all one word, no underscores or spaces. Do it, you&#8217;ll be happy you did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I created this blog to showcase great web video content from around Orlando and Florida in general. There is so much video on the web now, but what is local to us? How can we meet the people singing in to their hairbrush, or microphone, and why can&#8217;t we start a discussion with someone local instead of in San Fransisco or New York? There is nothing wrong with NYC and SF, but they aren&#8217;t my hometown.</p>
<p>Consider this an open invitation for submissions of any kind of video posted anywhere on the web that were created in, about, or in conjunction with Orlando and surrounding climes. I want to show this city what it&#8217;s made of, and the best way to do that is for people to share with one another.</p>
<p>You can send files and links to liberatr [at] gmail dot com<a href="mailto:liberatr@gmail.com"></a> along with any information you have about who created it and why, how to get in touch with the creator (or yourself), and any other fun facts you think people might want to hear.</p>
<p>If it is not already in Flash video format (if you don&#8217;t know what this is, don&#8217;t worry) I will do my damnedest to make it so and easily viewable for all the kids on the interweb. In addition to this site the video will also get re-posted to <a href="http://liberatr.net/">Liberatr.net</a>, and, if I can get it in a portable-player-friendly format, iTunes Podcast directory as well. If you would like any copyright messages to be displayed along with your video, please try to include them in the body of the video, but also send me any text you would like posted along side your piece.</p>
<p>You are free to set your own terms, as well. Example:</p>
<ul>
<li>I would like you to link to my video, but not post it in a player on your blog or other sites.</li>
<li>I would like you to make my video available in a player, but not for download.</li>
<li>Or my own special conditions. This is really about sharing your video with your neighbors.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Orlando Weekly and the Sentinel don&#8217;t provide these services. Hell, even everyone&#8217;s favorite basement radio, WPRK, and the best TV station in town, Vision TV, aren&#8217;t really doing exactly what I am. You send a video or link, it gets posted. Period. The product is just what we make it. Done deal.
</p>
<p class="akst_link"><a href="javascript:void(akst_share('1',%20'http%3A%2F%2Forlandovideo.tv%2Farchives%2F1',%20'Send+Me+Your+Videos+and+Links%21'));" title="E-mail this, post to del.icio.us, etc." id="akst_link_1">Share This</a>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>In a perfect world, her family would welcome you into their home with open arms. Having heard glorious praises in your name, they would offer you a permanent invitation to all family functions, where everyone else would rave over you. Her father would allow you to sit in his big papa chair and insist you join him at all major sporting events. His mother would become fast friends with you and take you on pleasant shopping excursions. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect world.</p>
<p>In reality, meeting your significant&#8217;s parental units is quite possibly the most excruciating step in a relationship . Schedule a root canal for the following day and it will seem like child&#8217;s play in comparison. No amount of impressive gifts or brushing up on family history can prepare you for this event. The one thing you can count on is that the parents will hate you.</p>
<p>While your beloved thinks you are perfection personified, her parents will be searching for anything to hold against you. From the moment they open the door, all eyes will be on you and flaw detectors will be powered up. After all, you are dating (and hopefully nothing more) their precious baby. The golden child, fruit of their loins, a treasure of which you are not worthy. To them, you are a criminal (you did steal their little girl&#8217;s heart) and must be stopped at any cost. Maybe it isn&#8217;t that extreme, but you may want to watch for land mines on the way to the washroom. In any case, parents will always believe that no one is good enough for their precious virginal prize.</p>
<p>The meeting invitation will most likely be set for dinner. Dinner sounds harmless, right? If you&#8217;ve been asked to go to a restaurant, a smooth evening may be ahead. Going out for dinner, as you may have learned on many first dates, provides plenty of distractions; waiters disrupting conversations, menus to hide behind, and a cleverly planned bout of food poisoning could clear you from any heavy-duty conversation. If you&#8217;ve been invited to the house for dinner, you&#8217;re screwed.</p>
<p>Dinner at the house (home of the dominant parent, if divorce is the case) is not simply a meal shared among family and new friends; it is a test of survival. Mom conveniently starts cooking as soon as you arrive. It will undoubtedly be a grand feast, one requiring several hours of preparation. After the initial greetings and chitchat, a verbal metal detector if you will, comes the interrogation. The interrogation room appears to be a friendly living room filled with knick-knacks and photos of your beloved in various growth spurts. Take a seat on the largest couch, in plain view of Dad, maintaining one seat cushion distance between you and your love. Anything closer will receive disapproving looks. At this point, dinner will be in the oven, so Mom may join the interrogation. Any siblings or other family members will be out of sight.</p>
<p>The interrogation will feel much like a job interview. Where are you from, where did you go to school, are your parents still together, how did you two meet, what makes you think you&#8217;re any good for our bundle of joy? You may want to edit out any unpleasant information like being raised by a pack of wolves or that you met their daughter in the video section of a seedy adult store.</p>
<p>Once you have satisfactorily answered all the questions, dinner will be ready. All siblings, visiting family members, and pets will pour out of the woodwork to meet you. Here you will be introduced to Humpy the poodle who hasn&#8217;t been neutered, the religious grandmother, and a married sibling who was lucky enough to find someone to pass all the tests. You will immediately seek a bond with this other outsider and fail.</p>
<p>After dinner, while you repeatedly check your watch and give your love signs that you&#8217;re ready to leave, the parents will offer entertainment. The rest of the characters mysteriously vanish. The parents drag out old photo albums with more photos of your love at various stages in her life. This serves two purposes, to embarrass their child and to test your knowledge. There will be strategically placed photos of an old flame the parents will refer to as &#8220;that nice boy/girl you let slip away&#8221; and will follow up with &#8220;what happened to him/her?&#8221; Your beloved should use this chance to talk you up. This is the closing argument for acceptance.</p>
<p>Finally, the parents have grown tired of you. They thank you for coming; you thank them for having you. They tell their child that they will call tomorrow. You know the call will seal your fate with them.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t bear the thought of rejection? Beg your beloved not to mention you to her parents. Hire a stand-in for family functions. Failing that, make a vow to only date orphans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am trying out a fun service for bloggers called <a href="http://www.indiekarma.com/">IndieKarma</a>. The basic idea is to donate money to your favorite <em>free</em> web sites in a slick micro-payments kind of way: every time you visit an IndieKarma-enabled site, a small bar appears at the bottom of the page to let you know. If you arae logged in to the service 1 penny will be extracted from your acount (right now, they are crediting $1 just for signing up), which is then placed in the site owner&#8217;s account. </p>
<p>This could be an easy way for me to afford to keep Liberatr online. The conversion rate is better than PayPal for amounts of $1, so I see it as very much worth the small effort on your part.</p>
<p>It is very simple: Sign up, put some cash in your account, visit my page, make sure you&#8217;re logged in. The little blue bar will remind you. You do a good deed, everyone is happy. Indie Karma! </p>

The column is penned by Jason Ferguson, and although we were not informed we would be appearing in the paper, I am OVERJOYED at the mention!

Now I know.</p><p>Check out the mention:</p><p><small>Taken from <a href="http://www.orlandoweekly.com/music/story.asp?id=10642">Notable Noise</a> on 4/20:</small></p>
<blockquote><p>Marc With a C is co-hosting a super-hilarious (if completely dorky) podcast called &#8220;The Zanzibar Lounge.&#8221; You can get it at zanzibar.liberatr.net. Liberatr is also serving up live shows at live.liberatr.net; the first is a Marc With a C show, but the likes of Unicornicopia and Bucket of Nails are also supposed to be on the schedule</p></blockquote>

<p>Sometime very soon, there will also be a listing for <a href="http://thestudentofthegame.com">the Student of the Game</a>. Kyle and I put together the first episode this weekend. The topic is the NFL Draft that took place a little while ago. I would like to say that even people who don&#8217;t know sports could pick this one up, and normally that will be the case, but the draft is kind of a heavy subject.</p>
<p>To counteract that, Kyle has offered his expertise to the world. Write in to <a href="mailto:sotg@thestudentofthegame.com">sotg@thestudentofthegame.com</a> with your questions, and Kyle will answer them on the show.</p>
