September 26th: Orange Park High School Raiders v. Bartram Trail Bears

Dearest MCS'ers-

I want to thank all of you for your patience and cooperation through was has been an interesting time here on MCS.com.

As you all know, the political season swamped most of the attention here on the site. Much of it was very heated and, frankly, some of it was not very useful. However, most of the time we allowed people to speak their mind because MCS.com is meant for everyone in Clay County - and both sides of every issue. With the primaries over, that tide has ebbed.

The biggest issue at the moment seems to be Clay County Animal Control. One particular person seems to have endless energies against the CCAC and has been told not to post on MCS any more. And as you've noticed, that person continues to return. At the moment we have no way to permanently block this person. Trust me, we're working on a solution, but on the internet, if you're determined enough to do something, you'll do it.

There's no need to worry about this lady: Gabby is a 5-year-old female bulldog/labrador mix, described as quiet -- and she's housebroken! Why not help her find a happy home?

Can't adopt now? Pass this on to someone who can!

More information on Gabby can be found through Citizens for Humane Education by calling 264-7231; going to the Web site, www.helpahomelsspet.org; or e-mail adoptapet@ bellsouth.net.

All-

In addition to the sheriff candidate's live blog interview on MCS.com, we have invited all of the clay couny candidates in for video interviews at the Times-Union building.

*note - we invited only those up for the Aug. 26 primary elections, so candidates who automatically advance to the Nov. 4 general elections were not included in this round of video interviews* 

We will be asking each candidate 3 questions at these video interviews and we want your input. Here are the race and candidates we have asked in. If you have any questions for these candidates just reply with a comment and make sure to specify which candidate or race.

Fellow MCS'ers-

Whether it's the heat, the humidity, the stress or the unpredictable thunderstorms, I have been feeling a bit drained lately.

Until I found this:

Just turn on your speakers and pop to your heart's content! Make sure to click "manic mode" in the corner for extra satisfaction.

I was going to try and make this just a comment to my previous blog, but there's too much info here.

First of all, Read44, you're right. The report abuse button was added for people to let us know when something violated the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, not for when you disagree with a particular topic. 

Ok, on to the questions. 

Topic #1 - The ability to edit. Any user has the ability to edit his/her own content, whether a blog, comment or event. If you are the originator of some content and signed on to the site, you will see an Edit button next to what you've created, and it will look something like this:

Good afternoon, fellow MCS'ers

You might have noticed by now the addition of the "Report abuse" buttons to all blogs and comments.

"Report abuse" appears as part of the "Related Links" section under each blog, and as part of the "Tools" section under each comment. It looks like this:

and

We installed this as a precautionary measure. If you were to click "Report abuse," a message would be sent to us alerting us to the flagged piece of content. This allows you to immediately let us know when something might be inappropriate. It keeps you from having to take the time to e-mail one of us, and it allows us to know exactly when/where trouble might have arisen.

Have you guys seen this? If not, prepare to spend the next 4 minutes of your life in absolute wonder (this trailer is only 1:20 long, but you'll watch it at least 3 times.)

Just in case you guys didn't see this, here's a link to the Times-Union story story about Kimberly Miskowski, media specialist at Coppergate Elementary School, and winner of Teacher of the Year
