An update on Google Friend Connect

1 day ago by A Googler

In 2011, we announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow blogs.

As part of this plan, starting the week of January 11, we’ll remove the ability for people with Twitter, Yahoo, Orkut or other OpenId providers to sign in to Google Friend Connect and follow blogs. At the same time, we’ll remove non-Google Account profiles so you may see a decrease in your blog follower count.

We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google Account to follow your blog, they need to sign up for a Google Account, and re-follow your blog. With a Google Account, they’ll get blogs added to their Reading List, making it easier for them to see the latest posts and activity of the blogs they follow.

We know how important followers are to all bloggers, but we believe this change will improve the experience for both you and your readers.

LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

All Life matters.  We are losing our Liberty
and with it our pursuit of Happiness.

Some of our fellow citizens are enslaved
by their own racist view of the world.

Read:  http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/09/09/wall-street-journal-op-ed-blasts-black-lives

As Lincoln observed a Nation divided
will not stand.

America has become deeply divided
during, and because of, the rhetoric
and policies of  President Obama , Eric
Holder, and many politicians, with the
media serving as their mouthpieces.

Failure to secure our national borders
has resulted in America being invaded
by tens of millions of illegal aliens.

The President has violated his oath
of office, trashed the Constitution
and systematically created havoc
within America and in foreign lands
whether by design or as a result of
incompetence.

The end result is the same. The
survival of America, and all Americans
are on the line. Crises abound everwhere
in the world.

The security and stability of America
and the entire world are on the line
because of failures in American
foreign policies and lack of leadership.

European nations are being overrun
and appear to be unable to save
themselves.

The Middle East is totally destabilized.

The world is on the verge of war and
self destruction. There will be no winners.

American voters are the court of
last resort in restoring our Constitutional
Republic and electing true leaders who
can restore security at home and abroad.

Is the America electorate up to the
challenge?

The 2015 and 2016 elections will tell
the story.

Education

Some thoughts to ponder as you vote

or don't,  May 19 on school budgets

and related propositions to spend more

of your tax dollars in a vain attempt

to improve "Education".

LEARN THIS

Education is a lifelong process of learning
the attitudes, knowlege, skills and behaviors
essential to earn a living, be an informed
citizen and to find joy in life.

To Learn, one must want to learn, put forth
the effort and apply that which is learned.

As Mayor Jennings often observes, we need
a new template for education, particularly
urban education.

Race To The Top and No Child Left Behind
are examples of well intended, but misguided
government programs that focus on grades
as measures of learning.

Ask not what your students "got". Ask what
did they learn? Observe their behavior.

The true measure of an educated person is
their behavior.

Alan Chartock (WAMC) had an interesting
guest on this subject today. Unfortunately
Prof Simon had no answer for caller Brian
who asked how can  property taxpayers be
sure they get educational value for the support
they provide for public schools?

http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wamc/news.newsmain/article/657/0/1818846/Vox.Pop/Vox.Pop.Hour.1..Student.Evaluation.Methods.in.Education..062211....


The answer lies with property taxpayers
becoming informed and participating in
the educational process at the local level
particularly in school budget and board
elections.

The further answer is to be found in scaling
back the power and control over education
of the NYS and Federal Education Depts.

Lastly, let learners and teachers learn!

The Late, Great Tip O'Neill said that "all
politics are local." 

So, it is with education. All education begins
with parents and the home, cultivating a love
and respect for learning in themselves and
their children.

A LETTER FROM ALBANY
COUNTY CONSERVATIVE
COMMITTEE CHAIR

ALBANY COUNTY CONSERVATIVE PARTY COMMITTEE
Richard Stack, Chairman.

Dear friend and enrolled Conservative:

Twenty years ago I chose to enroll in the Conservative Party
because it stood for principles and values which are the 
cornerstone of American History.

Lately, candidates and leaders of the other major political parties
 have seemingly ignored that the Conservative Party stands for 
hard fought ideals and principles which we truly believe in,
and our real connections to voters who share these beliefs.

Let me give you an example. Last year our Conservative Party 
Judicial Convention was hijacked to support a Republican candidate
for the state Supreme Court. Although we had interviewed candidates
for this office months earlier, the GOP candidate came forward at the
last minute.

I quickly reviewed her credentials and among other shortcomings, it
appeared that she hadn’t even attended a law school with a traditional
campus.

Suddenly, Republican county chairmen filed into our convention, and 
former Assemblyman John Faso, not a Conservative and not a
delegate, seated himself in the front row and interrupted from the
floor seven times to control the convention.


The Republican candidate then shifted to Albany County’s liberal wing 
of the Democratic Party to run her campaign and attract the 
disgruntled far left and the Working Families Party activists. This 
candidate did not reflect the core beliefs of our Party.


This fight to remain true to Conservative values is not just a local 
Albany County challenge.

 New York State Conservative voters are continually undercut by the
state party leadership out of Brooklyn, with Al D’Amato having more 
lucrative alliances with Democrats than real conservatives and having 
the final say on who our state party supports for key elected positions.

Remember Republicans for Cuomo? Did you wonder why the State 
Conservative Party was so silent during our last gubernatorial race?
Perhaps it is because Mike Long, the State Conservative Party 
Chairman, is a long time personal friend of the Cuomo family and Al
D’Amato!.


The Conservative Party is different for a reason. Voters come to
the polls and vote for our candidates by numbers which exceed our
enrollment by 200 percent.

This is because as the Albany County Conservative Party chairman
I fight for candidates who support our core values. We support them 
in Primary contests where the opponents only want to appear to be
conservative to get extra votes in the general election and then join
liberal Democrats in voting for the higher taxes, bigger government
and more regulations that are crippling New York State.


The local elections this year in Albany County are very important.
County Executive Dan McCoy has used every effort to keep our
taxes low in the face of expanding government costs at every level.


Sheriff Craig Apple has worked to keep our communities safe not
just fighting crimes, but also protecting us in the face of ongoing 
natural disasters that threaten so many homeowners and residents.
He works to train many first responders and to educate and inform 
Albany County residents about pending storms and ongoing 
dangerous conditions.

All of this hard work by our Sheriff and County Executive has been 
superbly performed over the past four years while keeping the 
budgets and expenditures at the lowest possible levels.

The Albany County Conservative Party supports family values
good government and strong conservative leadership.

On Thursday May 14, 2015, between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00 P.M.
we will be holding our annual Spring Reception. This is our only fund 
raiser of the year, and it will allow our members to meet their 
respective leaders. I have enclosed our invitation and event
information.

In closing, I would like to thank you and all of our members for your
past and continuing support of our organization.

God Bless you and God Bless America.

Sincerely,

Richard Stack

ON RESIDENTIAL
ZONING

Ordinance Number 10.22.15
(no sponsor, yet) is on the
Albany Common Council
Meeting agenda for  Feb 19.


read entire post

...................................

Ron and Carolyn -take off
your shades and blinders
there is more to Albany than
your narrow focus on your
peeps and hoods.

We do not want our hood
to look like yours.

Your Resolution, if passed
would be detrimental to
the residential integrity of
uptown Albany hoods

detrimental to the city
tax base, which supports
the city schools and city
services.

Ron, doesn't look like
you will have the 
Conservative Party line
next time you are up
for election.

Carolyn as City Council
President and Albany
County Democratic Chair
you have an obligation
to represent ALL the people
and best interests
of Albany City and County.
