  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

    ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

    I never thought I would enjoy getting booed.

    I mean maybe not actually enjoy the loud BOOOOOOO given by 75-100 demonstrators with hate filled resolve, but still feel .. umm I'm not sure.  Its just plain strange, but there was a thrill, perhaps even a weird exhilaration that these people took special notice as I walked through taking their pictures with my cell phone going into the governor's breakfast.  It was like they secretly LOVED [to hate] me.

    Perhaps it was the realization that this is all they have.  The signs being carried to object to Snyder's budget, or EFM law or what have you, completely forgotten as the entire cadre of hard core lefties in the Grand Traverse region (from several counties I believe) turned to give me their full attention.  I realized the enjoyment of course as I burst out laughing at them, which made it louder.

    Most of these folks were not the typical lefties mind you, they were the area's seasoned veterans who aren't afraid to block a sidewalk, lean on people's private vehicles, and generally prove that the maturity of the hyper liberal mind can be questionable.  As I have said before, I have Democrat friends.  And I know of a few who have even supported my efforts.  These folks in front of the venue holding the yearly affair, were the elite.

    It was such a great crowd that I had to join them for a minute. So ... a friend had a camera, and the picture is below the line ...

    Pro-democracy demonstrations represent hope for the future.

    Twenty years ago, as a young college student, I was in a public square in Prague, the capital of the former nation of Czechoslovakia, being chased by riot police with dogs and water cannons, along with tens of thousands of other people.

    Our group from Calvin College had wandered into the middle of a pro-democracy demonstration, and the communist government was having none of it.

    Five months later, back home in Zeeland, I remember standing transfixed in front of a television screen, watching brave Chinese students demand democratic reforms in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Later that fall the world witnessed the collapse of the Berlin Wall.

    Forward to 2005, when the new Iraqi government held its first public election. Despite predictions of Muslim disinterest in democracy, millions of people joyfully walked miles to cast their ballots, then proudly displayed their ink-stained hands after voting.

    And this week, in the streets of Tehran, the human hunger for freedom and self-rule continued to manifest itself.
