  • 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.

    A Real Conservative

    Ray Franz was beaten at the ballot box by a gift of circumstance.. in 2008.

    His stands have not wavered since then.  In fact in the time since the 2008 election, he has solidified people's understanding of his principles, he has worked hard, and he earned a seat in Michigan's 101st district.  A good and decent soon to be citizen legislator, Ray understands like most conservatives, that what ails us is not too little government, but rather a bit much of the opposite.

    Ray is not afraid to come out swinging, and we have been lucky to catch a letter to the editor he has authored, that has bearing on all of us in Michigan and addresses action by some who have been shown the door, and some who still don't get it.

    Please proceed through the fold..

    Michigan invention could ease clean up efforts

    A Kalamazoo based operation has a machine that can produce "miles" of material that can clean oil out of water.

    Jim Hanson of Marketing Technology Service says his company can produce MILES of material that extracts oil from water, and can be re-used over and over.  He has contacted BP and is still waiting for a call back, and has produced a video (Below the fold) which demonstrates on a very small scale how it can work.  Hansen says his material is

    "light, can be easily transported, and is completely reusable."

    The material is made with a process and machinery that can be used to make diapers etc.  The Machine is an advanced Product prototype and is in Kalamazoo, Michigan where they are prepared if approached for their solution by BP or other parties interested in their solution.  Hanson says

    "I don't understand why they don't call. we have offered to Fedex materials to them for testing, as the product is ready, and we can provide it immediately"

    The demonstration below Hanson admits is a "little cheesy" but at least shows how the oil is drawn out of the water.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    John Cherry: "You don't need a PhD in mathematics to know this is a terrible equation."

    Perhaps not John, but a PhD in economics might help straighten out that whole "We are losing one resource -- our talented workforce and the energy of our young people -- and we are giving away another resource, our water, for free," thing.

    You see, John, the reason we are losing our talented and energy filled youth is because there are no longer enough jobs or wealth in this state, you know, the one that your political party has been running with an iron fist for the past seven years. (Longer than that if you count powerful union influences and the bottomless money pit of Detroit.)

    Private sector jobs will not be sustained or created if there is no profit--businesses, unlike government, cannot operate indefinitely by either borrowing Chinese money or by the arbitrary sponging of additional revenues off of its subjects.
