I just signed the petition “MPAA: Don’t let the bullies win! Give ‘Bully’ a PG-13 instead of an R rating!” and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.
Our goal is to reach 150,000 signatures and we need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here:

Today is my 43rd birthday and I am being uplifted by all the messages on Twitter and Facebook, but today is a sad day for the Norks. Our dog Cloe has been battling kidney failure for several months. We have been watching her waste away before our eyes and the time has come to put her to rest.
In November of 2007, we lost our German Shepherd suddenly. Cloe came to us through a Google Search on the key word “German Shepherd Rescue”. My wife Ali searched on the internet and her picture came up in the search results. Cloe had such a happy look on her face. Ali said “That’s the dog for us!”
So on Saturday December 15, 2007 the family made the trip down to Brooklyn NY. This was the first time we had ever been there.
We got to see the Brooklyn Bridge and even a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty!
Cloe was taken out of the kill shelter by the Brooklyn Animal Foster Network on her last day before being euthanized. They set up in the parking lot of a store in Brooklyn trying to find adoptive homes for the animals.
A student at Brooklyn College saw Cloe in the morning on his way to class and stopped to play with her. On his way home he saw that she was still there. He knew what that meant. If no one adopted her, she would be taken back to the shelter to be euthanized.
So he decided to sneak her into his apartment even though his landlord didn’t allow dogs. Shortly after Ali saw Cloe’s picture and the rest is history.
Cloe quickly became a member of the family posing in our 2007 Christmas card, playing in the snow and taking hikes in the woods with the boys. She was a great watch dog that looked mean enough but everyone knew she wouldn’t hurt a fly. It took her many years but eventually she made friends with the cats and in her final years she seemed happy to see them! Cloe loved her boys and took turns sleeping in each of their bedrooms at night.
Cloe will be sorely missed but we were so happy to have her as part of our family for the past 4+ years. Cloe rest in peace my friend.

Hello All; The Amity Teen Centerhas acquired 1,002 brand new winter coats from Operation Warm in Pennsylvania.Joyce Van Lines has graciously offered to pick up the coats in Pennsylvania and deliver them to the Amity Teen Center. Joyce and Operation Warm are still working out the timing and logistics. In the mean time the teen center wanted to get the word out to organizations in the greater New Haven area that have children and teens in need. They would like to have all organizations fill out a coat request form to identify the number of coats in each size that their community could use this winter. Once the coats arrive they will coordinate with a representative from each organization come to the teen center to pick up all of their coats to distribute to their community.
Please have an organization representative fill out this form indicating the number of coats needed: http://bit.ly/coats2012
The teen center would also like your help in identifying all organizations that could use new winter coats. Please share this message with any other organizations in the greater New Haven area that you think may have a need for brand new children's coats.
