Chants of "Dump Chris Dodd", were heard from the protesters. Dodd, the chairman of the Senate Financial Services Committee played a key role in the passage of the bank bailouts. Dodd accepted extensive campaign contributions from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and numerous national banks.
The police tactics of forcing the blockaders to block the main road rather than the access road has resulted in a backlash of public opinion against the blockaders. On our fitst day alone, a counter-protest of around 100-120 locals, of whom around a third were kids, gathered to express their annoyance at being unable to get to work/school/shopping/doctors/wherever. Most of them were actually very understanding when i was there and almost all agreed that the missiles should go.
unfortunately after i left on an errand the protest apparently turned a bit nasty and aggressive, and several members of our group were a bit shaken.

The lead-up to Saturdays protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government cant ignore, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.Nationwide day of action against TPPA: “Ignore us at your peril” government warned
“The lead-up to Saturday’s protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government can’t ignore”, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.
A video shows young activists publicising Saturday’s nationwide protests with footage from Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Nelson.
Action in the 22 centres starts at 10am in Raglan and many of the larger centre marches begin at 1pm, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
“People have been incredibly creative”, Miller said. “In Christchurch a giant plain-packaged cigarette packet will be marching in the crowd, while Auckland will be led by an enormous Trojan Horse, locked in a tug-of-war between major commercial interests and activist communities.”
“Around the country everyday kiwis will be photographed for a virtual campaign with signs saying ‘I am a ___________ and I say #TPPANoDeal.’ Already this campaign has been very popular.”
“Trade minister Tim Groser needs to recognise that people don’t buy the ‘trust me’ line. They want to be listened to when they say they don’t want the TPPA. And they deserve to be listened to.”

We were fortunate enough to be in Berlin in '89 and I suppose fortunate enough not to be in Cairo tonight but it did remind us of the buzz (I don't know how else to describe it) of people with freedom in their grasp. This isn't a political view, it's just an appreciation of human spirit. Let's hope for a peaceful outcome.

I went down to Main Street yesterday to meet my brother Jon and my niece Julianne for Newark's Memorial Day Parade .I used to march in this parade 30 some years ago with Central Middle School and Newark High School Bands. My niece Whitney marched in her final parade this year , as she will graduate from Newark High School The parade is a mainstay of Newark's downtown happenings even though thru years participation has declined . It was a beautiful day out and still fun to go and see a parade to honor our armed forces and veterans .

Yahoo has a history of bad user interfaces, but IMHO they've managed to pull out all the stops with Flickr.
Flickr was, not long ago, easy to use and straight-forward. When the Yahoo yahoos got ahold of it... well, it's evolved into something totally different from that which millions of users knew and loved.
It's choppy, hard to use, and missing so much that I used on a daily basis. For instance... if there's a way to view a photo at full size, I've yet to find it. And why are my photos tagged Restricted as a default?
I still use Flickr because of the huge user base and the name brand. But that doesn't mean I like it.
Now it's just somebody that I used to know.
