Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

How incredible that on the eve of thanksgiving, with its promise of high caloric abundance, that our federal masters would be talking about limiting the way in which we feed ourselves.

And our senatorial tyrants Carl Levin, and Debbie Stabenow are a part of this plan.

S.510 which failed to get traction BEFORE the election is back on the table, and is expected to gain enough support for a vote on Monday. The bill dubbed the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act is touted by its promoters as a way to promise standard rules for consistency in food production and a means in which government can ensure compliance with those measures.

Like other grand government efforts it has promise of some dire consequence as well. Mostly for small farms, farmers market participants, local growers, and anyone who cannot afford a team of lawyers ready and able to challenge the best intentions of our benevolent and all protecting federal tyranny.

Whats the problem with food safety being advanced?
