Note that the poles are labeled with their non-bat names!

Use a Crowdsourced Satellite Platform To Look For The Missing Malaysia Air Plane
Ever
since Malaysia Air MH370 went missing, presumed crashed, everyone has
been looking for the wreckage, in an effort to find out what
happened. The trouble though is that the search area involved is
vast, and combing the area will take a lot of time and a lot of
manpower. Enter the power of crowdsourcing to help.
http://www.digitalglobeblog.com/
If
you would like to volunteer your time to support the rescue mission,
please visit DigitalGlobe’s Tomnod
platform (click) to
begin combing through satellite imagery for clues that may help
locate the missing aircraft.
Connections
are slow but very interesting.

BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD
The CAM Reports
I've just read Ted Herrle's latest CAM report. I've said this before, but these reports are the best things since sliced bread. You not only get updated on the projects going on in the Village, but on their PROGRESS. If a project is delayed because two out of three contractors bidding on it have not quoted for exactly what you asked for, you hear about it. If the unavailability of replacement parts for the transponder machines is fast becoming an acute problem, you learn this. Ted's reports are not only informative; they also help squelch rumors before they get started and nip complaints in the bud.
Great job you are doing, Ted!

GOT RICE Chinese/Vietnamese
Small
eatery next to Starz in the Emporium Shoppes. I had Pho Chin, beef
noodle soup w/well done brisket. The broth is cooked for over 12
hours, topped with scallions, onion, cilantro, w/a side of fresh
sprouts, basil, jalapenos and lime wedges. Lots of noodles + a
couple of sauces. I felt very satisfied but light Tra La!,
and have enuf for tomorrow. I am definitely going back to try
more dishes (no MSG) fresh and delicious.
Next
time Pad Thai. The fortune was very uplifting.

Sometimes the good guys win
7,584 thanks to:
Our delegates
- Showing up to sit thru disruptions, finding the truth despite insults
and scandal rumors, recognizing bullies, embracing freedom. Having
faith in the right way for our village to move forward.
Our candidates
– refusing to stoop to their opponents’ levels, giving us the benefit
of their backbone, intelligence and experience -- and the humility to
understand that serving is a privilege, not a place to turn hate on
anyone who stands in their way.
Sometimes the good guys win.

Ten Things to Think About Before You Vote
This piece is so insightful and logical its worth saying again, thx AMD
1. Was it a coincidence that the first lawsuit against UCO filed by Dave Israel’s opponents was filed hours after delegates defeated the recall against Dave by a vote of 161-4, and that we heard nothing (except that the plaintiffs wanted UCO to pay their legal costs) until the latest lawsuit was filed just in time for the Candidates Forum and the March 7 election?
2. When people file serial lawsuits, disregarding the legal costs to all of us and the insurance premiums that will shoot up (or the carriers who will refuse to cover us because UCO has been sued yet again), why does a candidate for UCO President say, “That’s what insurance is for”? Leadership to call for solving problems in ways other than $5.4 million lawsuits is in order.
3. If a candidate resorts to vicious accusations like referring to David as “...just a “piece of human trash,” saying he would have “sold his fellow Jews down the river,” and does not speak out against supporters’ blog posts, like David “is bringing back the Third Reich” and David must be “taken down,” won’t she govern in the same way?
4. On his worst day, David never resorted to religion-tinged taunts or threats. Neither did his supporters.
5. Five years of study and several years on UCO committees and the Executive Board before David felt prepared to run for office doesn’t compare to a few books and docs on your desk for reference if you’ve never served in UCO at all.
6. Facts matter. County engineers inspected the paving of the roads –and the paving passed inspection. David has apologized many times for remaining trouble areas but opponents’ accusations ignore the inspections or denigrate the results.
7. Hiring PBSO to be sure a potentially explosive budget meeting did not get out of hand isn’t exactly “Gestapo” tactics using “armed guards.” Many delegates said it was the most productive meeting we’ve had in years. For Dave’s opponents, PBSO is wrong, the County is wrong, UCO is wrong. Doesn’t leave much room for collaboration and positive thinking.
8. A candidate who makes a sarcastic comment about David’s post-911 service (…”while you were out saving the world from 911”) insults the victims of 911 and anyone who used his or her skills to help track the perpetrators.
9. Results matter. Savings to residents from reduced insurance premiums and the Comcast contract, balanced budgets, transparent bid processes, advanced business systems, UCO President’s meetings for input from association leaders, email notifications of minutes, meetings and events to 800 residents opting in, the foundation for Wi-Fi for Internet access at great savings, improved security and streamlined investigations, a record of coordination with state and County officials for the benefit of residents. And he’s not done.
1. Vision matters. Full implementation of W-Fi, a new infrastructure project to replace aging water pipes throughout the Village, a new foreclosure project to help associations recover funds -- big ideas for the future, not attacks on the past.
Please support Dave Israel and the slate of candidates he has endorsed.
3.05.2014
VOTE FOR DAVE
As elections approach I
want to say that Dave Israel's high personal integrity is the bedrock
of our village. He is not seen a great deal in public, he is not out
glad handing, but we know he is there for endless hours in UCO and at
Delegate meetings. To know him is to have the greatest confidence in
anything with which he is associated. He helps every and all
associations, mine would have been much poorer without Dave's advice.
UCO staff appreciate his outstanding abilities and his willingness to
assist with any and all tasks. The hate mail in the village and the
malcontents that sue and harass UCO are appalling compared to Dave's
honest and responsible character. Elaine Brown Sussex L
If you had worked with and
for Dave for four years you would know this too.

WELL DONE, DOM, AND THANK YOU.
When is a retirement not a retirement?
In
a very short while Dom Guarnagia's two-year term as UCO vice president will be
coming to a close.
Did I say two years? Judging from the amount of work you and Kate have put into this Village, Dom, it seems as if it must have been a much longer time. I understand that you are running for the Executive Board, and—did I hear
right?—you may continue working on some construction matters with our CAM? When
is a retirement not a retirement? The answer: When you are a UCO volunteer
and, most assuredly, when your name is Dom Guarnagia!
I
hope you and Kate experience some relief now that your term is ending, Dom. And I hope
you know this: There are a great many Century Village residents who appreciate
all you have done for us.
In addition to your normal VP duties, you taught
those excellent classes on maintenance and upkeep, complete with those handout
sheets with your professionally-done color sketches. Our
physical plant was your specialty, and how you took that in hand! We will not
forget the yeoman work you did for many months (was it over a year?) in
not only being a VP, but doing the work of a CAM while we were without one. Unfailingly courteous to
all who came to you, you somehow did it all with a smile.
In
the March Reporter,
prefacing your article on “Things That Do Not Require Permitting” (which you DID suggest we cut out) you wrote: “Most of my articles are informational but in no way
worthy of clipping out of the Reporter and keeping for future reference.” Not so, I think. “WERE worthy of being cut out and
saved for future reference” is how I would put it.
Thank you, Dom, if I may say so, from a
Village full of people much indebted to you.
Win or Lose Damage the Village
Riddle:
Question, what is it that
no man wants, but no man wants to lose?
Answer: A law suit!
Answer: A law suit!
What
could be very expensive, make us uninsurable or raise our insurance
rates, even if we win? Solomon & Karpf law suits.

Dear Olga, Let's just end this right here..or maybe over that espresso with anisette and a touch of lemon.
I went to that meeting to hear Ed Groosman, not to campaign for myself, I told every one I spoke with, that I felt I did not stand a chance to win, for lack of experience. Sorry if I was miss understood... and please, I don't. nor can I hate anyone.... I wish all the candidates the best of luck, and may the best person win... Peace at last, now I can go back to my corner and continue to be "HAPPILY UNKNOWN FOREVER'" I am retired and I intend to stay that way... Bye, Bye, Warm Regards, Frank

Why me!! Why me Esther ?? I am the unknown Exec Bd. Candidate, NOT THE GODFATHER
Esther, Esther, you refer to my "Boss" like in the God Father Movie..I am appalled to think a person in your position running for the highest office in Century Village would resort to name calling, (Tricky Dickster)
When you have a few free moments please feel free to explain that remark.
I was introduced to you by my "Boss" while attending a question and answer meeting for
Edward Grossman CPA. We were talking and I told you a little bit about myself..I told you I was running
for the Exec Bd..I also expressed my feeling of being unknown, and that I felt I would not win. If that is what you call "begging" then I don't know what the word begging means . I also would like to know what I did to Dupe you and party. You also make reference to David Isreal, in connection with me, I honestly hope you don't think he is my "Boss" and or he has the power to get me voted into the Exec Bd.
Oh, by the way you also don't have that power. So. by me "Duping " you or him, still wouldn't get me on the Exec. Bd. Can you not see that?
So, again, when you have a moment, clearly tell me what I did to offend you to merit such a word bashing, and name calling. Waiting to hear from you on the "Malcontent Blog".. of which I tried posting this three times without success... Till then , Warm Regards, you college and running mate, Frank Leggio
Now; as for you Ms. Olga Walkenstein, My Dear "Italian Comare"
What is wrong with you?? You don't know me nor do I know you... we have never met of spoken, how can you be ashamed of me for bringing "Disgrace and Dishonor to your heritage"
Please be aware I am an American, I am running for office in these United States of America.
I proudly served my country USA, in time of war, having said this. now please tell me what was my deplorable behavior .. Did I rape, kill, rob, etc... Who the blank..... are you to say, I should never be allowed to hold office in UCO, because I cannot be trusted.
FYI, if ever I have the power or the control of Century Village, (do to the low level of candidates)
(no offense to the good concerned officials) (you know who you are) for office this year, I will make sure Century Village will have outside paid management..
My Dear Sister in God, Please go back to Italy, and maybe you will succeed to bash those loving caring people, who also never harmed you... Warm Regars Frank Leggio
P.S. Mention my winning name, and, you will receive a free cup of cappuccino, to calm you down..Ciao
!! Oh, yes, free coffee, without begging..!!..

The

creative. A mall trip could go twice, and back twice if people do
not crowd onto the last return. There are signs that get you back to
tour bus parking. Interesting that the hospital advertises in the
food court.
Ready for an Accountant for Treasurer.
It
was a pity some questions were unread at the Forum, ill health can
strike anyone anytime
Here
is one such question left out
QUESTION: Esther, on 12/24/13 you
posted this blog entry:
“ … David Israel and Ed Black
nearly bankrupted us.”
Could you please explain how Mr. Israel and Mr. Black nearly
bankrupted us, especially since we’ve had 4 years of balanced
budgets and clean audits, and we have never been in danger of not
paying our bills. And please cite specific instances....
A:
ElaineB answer - One scary number was arrived at by adding up all
future bills and ignoring future income. Voila! Bankrupt with
grandstanding and disruption.
I
am so ready for a real accountant for Treasurer. Howard O'Brien has
an excellent background and participates calmly and sensibly in UCO meetings.
Howard + Dave's slate will keep us in the green :-)

for health reasons I do not read the MyVillage malcontent blog

You came to the Messinger Club meeting and asked to be put on our slate . You stated you were new in the village, not known hated David Israel. The following day we saw an article written by you on David's blog commenting how wonderful he was. This was a direct contradiction to what you told us at the meeting. We naturally felt you were playing tricks on us. If this is true, I stand by my comment. If it is not true, I apologize to you and will be happy to buy you an espresso with anisette and a touch of lemon.
Best regards,
