Thanks for nudging me to be more detail oriented in explaining my Evokation. My goal for ReBuffalo.org is to create a website that facilitates online collaboration. The typical geographically based online community is a source for news and a venue for deliberation. ReBuffalo.org, however, will be designed to facilitate group interaction rather than individual opinions. Collaboration is difficult to achieve offline and it is even more difficult online. As society continues to spend more and more time online we need to find ways to work together in this environment and deal with the depersonalization that can occur online due to physical distance and anonymity. ReBuffalo will be designed in a way that will help users focus on ideas, solutions, and action plans and reduce the amount of time wasted on petty squabbles. ReBuffalo will make it easier for individuals, organizations, and government to work together to both solve big problems and scale up small success stories. Another unique aspect of this project is that the site itself will represent no particular goals for Buffalo, NY. Though I can think of a lot of issues that the users of ReBuffalo.org might address (i.e. poverty, vacant housing) the site will ask users to decide on goals and chart the course.
Thanks for commenting on my Evokation (http://bit.ly/ddA3ZU). It's funny that you mentioned the possibility of using a strengths a****sment to enhance collaboration because I use Gallup's StrengthsQuest inventory (http://bit.ly/StxO6) with students at the community college that I work for. I have thought about incorporating a strengths philosophy into the site, but I would appreciate any ideas that you have on how to do this. As for specifics about the ReBuffalo.org (http://bit.ly/dlqnlt) website design it's still too early for me to say exactly what the site will look like. I hope to make the process of designing the site as collaborative as the site itself will be, so I am starting to put together a committee that will make web design decisions. However, some design options include gaming features such as those in Evoke or IBM's CityOne game (http://bit.ly/8YdTR3) and/or design features that support collaboration such as those found in Beth Simone Noveck's Peer to Patent site (http://www.peertopatent.org/). If you have any suggestions for how I can promote online collaboration please let me know.
Something is up with my profile on my end then. I look at my recent posts and they are not showing imediate posts. According to what I see my latest post was an hour ago when in reality i just posted something 2 min ago.

Thank you Turil for the explanation. I wasn't sure that the embed code worked so I reposted it as a video. I still feel that my head is expanding and has yet to grow with the stuff I have been picking up here over the last few weeks. I am very much not a business person, it is a wh*** side of life I just don't get. Muhammad Yunus on the other makes wonderful sense to me!
Many thanks and best wishes

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

All of the out of date foodstuffs have been automaticaly thrown away by the fridge, they will be recycled tomorrow as animal feed or something. I see i have organic local eggs and some local cheese. Foods are vacc** sealded for easy…See More
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.

I know it has to be more complicated than that, but it could also be very very simple, if we were all self-actualized.
