Self Reliance Picnic 2JUN2012

Hey Everyone,

I've setup an Evite System for the Self Reliance Picnic we'll be having on 2JUN2012. The picnic will be held at Lithia Springs State Park. We'll be getting things started probably around 10 and going until we stop, which may be pretty late since some of us are camping at the park that weekend. If you want an evite for the picnic send me an email at connor(dot)odonnellgmail[dot]com.

Keep an eye out here and on the forums for a complete presentation list and updated info.

How a big US bank laundered billions from Mexico's murderous drug gangs

(Bank-side of things)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/03/us-bank-mexico-drug-gangs

On 10 April 2006, a DC-9 jet landed in the port city of Ciudad del Carmen, on the Gulf of Mexico, as the sun was setting. Mexican soldiers, waiting to intercept it, found 128 cases packed with 5.7 tons of cocaine, valued at $100m. But something else – more important and far-reaching – was discovered in the paper trail behind the purchase of the plane by the Sinaloa narco-trafficking cartel.

Slight change to the site

Today I modified the FloridaReadiness.org web site to not display blog postings by default on the home page. If you wish to view recent blog postings then please select the 'blogs' option from the main menu.

Site navigation

If this site seems dead, I'd recommend going to the Forum section and looking around. That's what I did, and found a lot of content that didn't make it on this main page.

Pinellas Group Meeting

For discussions relevant to the meeting held last night please stop by this thread:

http://floridareadiness.org/?q=node/124#comment-197

on the forums. We had 9 people attend the first meeting of the group and I look forward to watching it grow and mature.

New Nightly Emails Going Out

I've added a new nightly process that sends out emails every night to all members who have enabled alert notifications in their user profiles. These emails contain a list of all updated forum discussions, blog postings, meeting and other announcements and polls that have been added/updated within the past 24 hours.

This should help to increase participation and the exchange of ideas within the site.

Anybody Stop By The Forums Anymore?

So, compared to the old forums at the other site....these're dead.....

Since I liked the activity on the old forums I've taken the liberty of going through and adding my 2 cents to a bunch of stuff and starting a new thread. I'd encourage ya'll to do the same, let's get some life going at this site!

Thu Apr 14 meeting - Discussing the 10 most Common Prepper Mistakes

At this meeting we'll begin a discussion of the 10 most common mistakes that prepper's make. Also, we'll kick off the meeting with a presentation of a local vendor who offers freeze-dried foods as well as other essential emergency equipment. I thought this was important as there are now long delays when ordering freeze-dried foods from the more popular on-line suppliers. We'll also be discussing events and activities for us to schedule for the remainder of this year.

As usual we'll have pizza available for purchase by the slice, as well as beverages.

Green Deane

Deane will be in Ocala this Saturday (March 26th) 9am-1pm. Anyone want to carpool? I have been on 2 walks thus far and am learning quite a bit. I find myself walking head down checking out weeds constantly. I am very interested in wound healing/antibiotics and have learned two common weeds so far. Hopefully I won't start running into things.

The Upcoming Floral City Trip

We've finally nailed down a time for our trip to check out Floral City (and surrounding region, as time permits). That trip will happen on Saturday, April 2. I'll post more details on this as the day draws a little closer.
