Should you do this watch out. I've been doing this for over a year now and so far have had two complaints of books not arriving. They both came from this man. The first time he dropped the complaint. We'll see what he does this time. Should anyone really care, aside from that I have a 4.9 out of five star rating based on the fourteen folks who left feedback on my services. (I do try and do a good job.) So here's the man who says I did not s...

Is USCRI Albany a successful organization?

NOTE -- DATE DECEMBER 7, 2016. THIS BLOG POST HAS BEEN RECEIVING A GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION LATELY DUE TO A RECENT PROBLEM I HAD WITH SOME EMPLOYEES OF USCRI WHILE TEACHING AN ESL CLASS. (This problem is hinted at in my November 2016 post on ESL classes and fundamentalist Muslims.) FOR THE RECORD, WHILE I CONSIDER IT AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE CENTER WHEN WRITTEN, MY IMPRESSION IS THINGS ARE A BIT BETTER NOW. I ALSO HOPE THAT PEOPLE WHO LOOK AT THIS POST WILL ALSO TAKE THE TIME TO DO A SEARCH ON THE LABELS "REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT" AND "REFUGEES" AND THEN TAKE THE TIME TO READ ON TOPICS SUCH AS GETTING REFUGEES INTO COLLEGE, COLLECTING FURNITURES FOR REFUGEES, AND TIPS ON TEACHING THEM DRIVING. ONE REASON BEGAN WRITING ABOUT REFUGEES ON THIS BLOG IS BECAUSE, AS DESCRIBED HERE, THE LOCAL REFUGEE CENTER, USCRI-ALBANY, HAD NO INSTITUTIONAL MEMORY AND GREAT OVERTURN AND EVERYONE WAS ALWAYS STARTING THEIR JOBS AT BASE ZERO. I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WHAT I WOULD LEARN IN...

Election Day New York 2022. -- I endorse Kathy Hochul

Good Morning! Good Morning! Serious political post today. Election's coming up. While I have tried to keep my FB page less political, and just enjoy my time here, I'm breaking that for a moment. Here in New York we have a choice between Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, and Lee Zeldin, a Republican, and it's going to be close. Having thought it through, my plan is to vote for Hochul. (At least Cuomo is off the ballot.) While I have voted for Republicans for high office in New York in the past, and often have complained about the direction that NY Democrats (condescending bunch of Manhattanites) have taken the state, many say that to a large extent this election is a referendum on who do you prefer, Trump or Biden. As for Trump, while I admit it can be a great deal of fun to start each day with seeing what outrageous lies or crazy misinterpretations of reality he is making each day even years after he's out of office, and it is kind of entertaining to see if this ersatz comic-...
