Please help choose our May title

Hello book club!

May is soon approaching and so I have two titles for your
consideration. Our theme for May is Sci fi/ Fantasy.

At the Monday night meeting we chose two books that will be the
contenders. (Thanks to everyone that helped) These are Neverwhere by
Neil Gaiman and Kindred by Octavia Butler. The following is an except
from the publishers of each book:

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

Richard Mayhew is an unassuming young businessman living in London,
with a dull job and a pretty but shrewish fiancée. Then one night he
stumbles upon a girl lying on the sidewalk, bleeding. He stops to help
her, and his life is changed forever.
Soon he finds himself living in a London most people would never have
dreamed of: a city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels. It is
a world that exists entirely in a subterranean labyrinth of sewer
canals and abandoned subway stations. And it is the home of Door, the
girl whom Richard rescued, and whom, if he is ever to return home, he
must now help in her mission to preserve this strange underworld
kingdom from a mysterious figure determined to destroy it.
If Tim Burton rewrote Phantom of the Opera, if Jack Finney had a dark
side, if you rolled up the best of Clive Barker, Peter Straub, and
Caleb Carr into one, you still wouldn't have Neil Gaiman. In
Neverwhere, he delivers one of the most absorbing reads to come along
in years.

Kindred by Octavia Butler

The first science-fiction written by a black woman, Kindred has become
a cornerstone of African-American literature. This combination of
slave memoir, fantasy, and historical fiction is a novel of rich
literary complexity.
Having just celebrated her 26th birthday in 1976 California, Dana, an
African-American woman, is suddenly and inexplicably wrenched through
time into antebellum Maryland. After saving a drowning white boy
there, she finds herself staring into the barrel of a shotgun and is
transported back to the present just in time to save her life.
During numerous such time-defying episodes with the same young man,
she realizes the challenge she's been given: to protect this young
slaveholder until he can father her own great-grandmother.
Author Octavia E. Butler skilfully juxtaposes the serious issues of
slavery, human rights, and racial prejudice with an exciting science-
fiction, romance, and historical adventure. Kim Staunton's narrative
talent magically transforms the listener's earphones into an audio
time machine.

Please send a message with your pick by COB tomorrow (Friday, April
27). I have already started putting holds on a few copies of each
book, so as soon as the decision is made, we should already have a few
copies available for checkout.

Copies of the chosen title will be available for checkout at the
Petworth Neighborhood Library right above the HOLDS shelf.

Thanks, have a great (almost) weekend!

[anc6c04] Mayor Grays's Town Hall in 24 Hours: Worried About Funding for Education and Affordable Housing?

Good Afternoon Ward 6!

Mayor Gray is about 24 hours away from presenting his budget proposal to Ward 6, and he wants you to be there!

Within his proposed budget (which you can find by going to budget.dc.gov) contains his plan for funding education and housing. Many people are excited for the renovation of Stuart-Hobson and the opportunities that will exist with the new Rosedale library while others are concerned for Amidon-Bowen ES and the plan for Van Ness ES. Mayor Gray and Chancellor Henderson will be in attendance to take your questions.

Another hot button issue has been the need for additional funding for affordable/permanent housing and homeless services. I know I have been in many conversation with advocates for increased funding. This is an excellent venue to ask your questions.

[NSCoderNightDC] CocoaConf coming to town.

As you might have heard, CocoaConf is coming to town. CocoaConf (http://www.cocoaconf.com/) is a conference that covers all manner of iOS and Mac programming topics. It is a two day conference with three simultaneous tracks. It is some what unique in that it's a roaming conference (I guess VTM is like that as well.) I've heard good things from the previous events in Raleigh and Columbus.

A bunch of our local devs will be presenting, Here is the list I got so far:

David Smith

Jonathan Blocksom

Jonathan Lehr

Jonathan Saggau

Mike Ash

Mark Pospesel

Check out the schedule to see the full list of speakers and topics, it really has something for everybody.

Guess what!! They have offered to give away one free ticket to one of our members. Does that sound appealing? If so, come on down to the meeting tomorrow and we'll use some form of high tech randomizing algorithm (I'm thinking pieces of paper in a hat) to determine one lucky winner.

If you're not a lucky winner, or worse, if you can't make it to the meeting tomorrow, you can still take advantage of their early bird pricing. That discounted price is only good for this week, so you better hurry! (I'm not exactly sure when it ends, so I'd suggest not waiting until the weekend.)

Looks like a really cool event, hope you all get a chance to go.

Jose

[anc6c04] You gotta fight for your right to party! (later?) -- Ward 6 Budget Town Hall Reminder --

Good Afternoon Ward 6!

We are less than a week away from Mayor Gray’s Ward 6 budget town hall meeting. One proposal that is included would extend the hours in which you can purchase alcoholic beverages. This would result in an additional $5.3 Million to the budget. People think this is good for business while others would not like to deal with the noise and other byproducts of extended hours. What are your thoughts? Mayor Gray would like to know! For more budget information, you can go to budget.dc.gov.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Media Contact: Monica Hernandez – 202-671-2261, monica.hernandez@dc.gov

DDOT To Manage Public Space Permitting Process For Neighborhood Block Parties

All Block Party Permit Requests Now Will Be Processed Through DDOT

(Washington, D.C.) Effective Monday, April 23, 2012, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin managing the public space permitting process for neighborhood block parties. Residents seeking to obtain a public space permit for an event on their block will need to submit their request directly to DDOT instead of the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA).

The change will also streamline the process and set up a one-stop-shop for residents to submit their applications through DDOT's Transportation Online Permit System (TOPS). TOPS is DDOT's fully automated online permitting system for all public space permits. TOPS allows residents to conveniently apply for a permit from any remote location with online access, and it has reduced the 15 business day processing timeline for permit requests down to seven business days.

The following criteria governing street closures for Neighborhood Block Parties will remain in effect:

Applicant must be an adult resident (21 years or older) of the block being closed.
Area must not exceed two intersecting streets (i.e., must be limited to one block).
Street must be reopened no later than 10:00 p.m.
Applicant must obtain consent of 51% of households on the block.
Vending is prohibited. No sales, fees, or donations shall be solicited or accepted at the event.
No sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages allowed.
Accessibility for emergency equipment via an unobstructed 20-foot emergency access lane must be maintained at all times.
Posting of street closure/no parking signs must be completed no less than 72 hours prior to date of event.

More information about DDOT's Public Space Permits is available online at ddot.dc.gov.

[anc6c04] Traffic Cameras: Pedestrian Safety or Government ATM (4/25 Ward 6 Budget Town Hall Reminder)

Good Afternoon Ward 6!

Mayor Gray recently submitted his budget to the Council. One of the proposals included installing traffic cameras that would produce revenues totaling around $25 Million. Mayor Gray believes this will produce safer streets for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Other people feel they shouldn’t be excessively ticketed by the city. Other concerns involve the locations of the new cameras; what role will the community have in placing these cameras? Come and Ask!

The proposed traffic cameras are just one of many budget items that will be discussed at Mayor Gray’s Ward 6 Budget Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday April 25^th, 6:30-8:30 at Eastern High School (1700 East Capitol Street). You can find more information on the budget at budget.dc.gov

In addition to the budget presentation, Mayor Gray and his entire Cabinet will be answering your questions on a whole host of topics. If you have DCRA Issues, Director Majett will be in attendance.

One minute of time, will last a lifetime.

I have made it towards the finish line in completing an extremely rocky road towards personal achievement. Graduating university and receiving my bachelor's degree has been my dream since I started on this exciting, often times stressful, journey with my children 4 ½ years ago.

This will only take a minute and last forever, will you please donate to help me complete my college dream…I AM SO CLOSE, PLEASE HELP.

Please donate at : http://fnd.us/c/1IT21 -- Your generosity is heartfelt and deeply appreciated.

[NSCoderNightDC] Change of plans

This is not a drill! repeat: This is not a drill!

This week we will _NOT_ be meet at our regularly scheduled meeting. We
have been issuing warnings for some time now of the possibility of an
NSCoder Beer Night. Due to foreseen circumstances, this week we will
be implementing those contingency plans. The excuse (my 40th birthday)
is a flimsy one, but we believe the cause is a good one ($2 pints of
beer.)

So the plan for this week is to meet at Capitol City Brewing Company,
I'm guessing at the same times as we usually do (7pm to 10pm) They
will have special on beers tomorrow which we plan to take advantage
of. In order to do so, we need to present a copy of the following
coupon:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=9623988&l=84255dbbd1&id=98806885094

They ask that you print it out, but I bet we can just wave it on an
iOS device and receive the benefits. The address of the place is:

Capitol City Brewing Company - Arlington
4001 Campbell Ave
Arlington, VA 22206
P: (703) 578-3888

I repeat, Do not go to La Madeleine tomorrow as you are liable either
be alone, or spend time with someone who is equally clueless regarding
the sudden change of plans. If you should find yourself in such a
situation, I recommend that you partake of a pastry and ponder the
relevance of this mailing group.

Next week we will resume our regularly scheduled pastry eating
activities.

Hope to see you,
Jose

Naked Truth

Strip Clubs, Democracy, and a Christian Right

By Judith Lynne Hanna

Across America, strip clubs have come under attack by a politically aggressive segment of the Christian Right. Using plausible-sounding but factually untrue arguments about the harmful effects of strip clubs on their communities, the Christian Right has stoked public outrage and incited local and state governments to impose onerous restrictions on the clubs with the intent of dismantling the exotic dance industry. But an even larger agenda is at work, according to Judith Lynne Hanna. In Naked Truth, she builds a convincing case that the attack on exotic dance is part of the activist Christian Right's "grand design" to supplant constitutional democracy in America with a Bible-based theocracy.

Hanna takes readers onstage, backstage, and into the community and courts to reveal the conflicts, charges, and realities that are playing out at the intersection of erotic fantasy, religion, politics, and law. She explains why exotic dance is a legitimate form of artistic communication and debunks the many myths and untruths that the Christian Right uses to fight strip clubs. Hanna also demonstrates that while the fight happens at the local level, it is part of a national campaign to regulate sexuality and punish those who do not adhere to Scripture-based moral values. Ultimately, she argues, the naked truth is that the separation of church and state is under siege and our civil liberties—free speech, women's rights, and free enterprise—are at stake.

A leading dance scholar and critic who has served as an expert court witness in more than one hundred exotic dance cases nationwide, Hanna is Affiliate Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Maryland. She has written hundreds of articles and numerous books, including To Dance Is Human: A Theory of Nonverbal Communication; The Performer-Audience Connection; Dance, Sex, and Gender; Dancing for Health: Conquering and Preventing Stress; and Partnering Dance and Education. www.judithhanna.com
