towards the end of summer, how would a voting laws and politics workshop work? both how to register, what is required by state and a discussion of the candidates. also, discussion of congressional and gubernatorial elections as well. and what an awesome word gubernatorial is. less

Real quick, I want to make sure to post the ideas that haven't really gone anywhere yet.


Ideas that haven't done much:
-Toy recycling. This has been brought up numerous times. One contributor was planning on a large scale project with a workshop or contest involving the best way to upcycle an unwanted toy that couldn't be recycled and petitioning manufacturers to start adding the necessary logos for recycling, but that never went anywhere.
-Coordinating and running a ‘prop’ thing, where if one contributor wanted to give “props” to another (something as simple as a picture taken with a shout out to another person) they could take a picture, email it to one of us running it, and we could coordinate all the entries and post them monthly. Submitters would remain anonymous. This idea was brought up at the third meeting and never went anywhere.
-A lingerie exchange program. This would cover things that didn't fit, can't be returned, etc. In general it would involve anything but panties. This would have to be something organized and run by community members. So far it was brought up once or twice, and nothing has been done about it.
-A blogring has been brought up a few times. It hasn't really gone anywhere.
-The idea of a large scale get together has been brought up from time to time. Initially, we thought it would be a neat idea to have everybody come to the warehouse in New Jersey but after we merged with Liberator, things were a little more up in the air. The idea of having smaller satellite get togethers where we would meet up with people in our area and connect each one via something like Skype was mentioned as a way to let people meet who couldn't travel all the way to EF headquarters. Nothing has been mentioned of this in a while.
-Adding to or reworking the main page to more accurately reflect the newer programs and make it easier for a new person to find their way around and get commonly asked questions answered. Having a banner or something that says “new to the site? Click here!” that leads to an updated FAQ list, as well as a list of all of the available programs and clubs and their explanations. There have been changes made to the main page since this was brought up, and there will continue to be changes made. The biggest factor is getting somebody to go through and figure out the best way to lay things out again.
-A separate place from the calendar to have information about all of the clubs and other things going on around Eden. Something that breaks down “here are the clubs, this is what they do, here's how to participate” A spot with all the other things on the right side of the main page. This idea and the last one are pretty similar. At this point, the clubs blog contains most of the information that you'd need to know about the clubs, but there isn't a specific spot for it on the site just yet.
-Post Crossing was suggested a few times. Basically members would mail each other greeting cards, but with the issue of privacy and anonymity a few other ideas were suggested. One being that one person would be in charge of all of the addresses for everybody, and the other being e-cards. This idea hasn't gone anywhere yet.
-Activity badges. These can be for anything from reaching a certain amount of posts or reviews or pretty much anything. There's been a lot of yays and nays for this one, so nothing much has been done with it.
-Adding the verified tag back to reviews listed with the new product page layout. It is possible to see a list of all of the reviews on a product without too much work, but not very easy to see which reviews are verified when looking for assignments. This has been brought up a few times, but nothing has happened yet.
-Adding more pages to the list of recent reviews on the community news page, or adding a “random” button that takes you to a random review. This idea has been mentioned a few times, but I haven't heard anything about it yet. With the consistent influx of new reviews coming in, this would be helpful and will be passed on.
-Archiving threads older than a certain age.
-Relisting of the forum categories to make them easier to follow.
-Online/offline indicators on profiles. Or a last logged in date or last date of activity. This is something that gets brought up from time to time.
-Home parties. This is something that we are slowly working on and have some great ideas for, but putting it together has been slow because it hasn't been a largely pressing issue.
-Having the “to” field when composing a message suggest names from your followers, or of people you are following. It would probably be easier to have it be done based on all members, but it's something that may be able to be done.
-Opting out of fliers and catalogs at checkout. This is a great idea, and it has been brought up but nothing has come of it yet.
-A “tutorial” of sorts for mentors/editors. The last I had heard, this was being worked on and will be posted at some point in the near future.
-Post graduation evaluation form for students to critique their mentors.
-Being able to add your own earned gift cards to your dashboard to keep track of them that way.

I've had "real" wine's that were just awful and "fake" wines that were delicious. Both will result in me eventually getting drunk if I drink enough of them, and neither leave me with a hangover. So I'm gonna call this one "your mileage may vary" and stick with what I know works for me. less

I like discussing politics dont get me wrong. But when I come on Eden I love that its one place I can get away from it and not hear peoples views on politics. Thats just where I personally am coming from. Meet me in person I will talk ot you all day about politics if you wanted. less

Toy recycling yes yes yes. A workshop please, Tim? Im sure you can think of a good idea for this one.

No to the props thing because I think it might make others feel like its a popularity club, even though we know its not. I think reviewer spot light is good enough.

A get together, yes sounds like fun. Chicago or LA anyone?

No to activity badges, I think Eden is a bigger site than the average forum where people get titles for each post. Ive never been a fan of them.

Home parties yes please!

And post graduation evaluation yes yes. less

The toy recycling was me and you lost my proposal and I never had time to re-type it. If there is still interest, I still have my contacts with the companies and can re-do now that I do have time. I know Fred was interested too, so I can get on that again.

Was anyone interested in that?

Actually the lingerie thing was going somewhere but Jezel vanished. Anyone else want to partner with me on this? I need help with it. less

The taste is acquired I suppose. My mom is totally a wine enthusiast and she drinks some of the most foul expensive stuff that I can't stand. I think wine is like beer, you either like the dark or light and not much in between. For me, I don't see the point of drinking fake stuff because of all the extra calories. You don't have to consume as many calories to get drunk. I don't drink to get drunk though, so I don't care as much about price.

Has anyone tried the Skinny Girl Martini stuff? I'm dying to try it! less

Honestly, "real" or "fake," the kinds of wines I like to drink are usually sweeter in general, and would have more calories probably than "fancy" wine. And to be even more honest, I don't think there's much of a calorie difference between an $8 bottle of corked wine and an $8 bottle of wine with a screw cap.

Also, some interesting information to consider: screw top caps are used when the wine bottler wants a softer finish to the wine and if the wine is delicate enough to warrant not wanting to contaminate the flavor with the taste/aroma of cork. Riunite is one of the finest wines in Europe and they almost exclusively use screw tops on their wines to remove the "snob" factor and to make table wine affordable for every table. BUT and this is a BIG but... it is the same wine favored at wine tastings all across the Champagne region of France. less
