2004 Warrant Available, Article 18 seeks to impose "green"-ness on private builders

The Warrant for the 2004 Annual Town Meeting is available here. (Warning -- it's a large PDF file).

A quick scan has Article 18 jumping to the fore as That Which Must Be Defeated(tm), as it seeks to have the Town impose "green" building "standards" on private, commercial developers.

It's Town Meeting Time time!

According to the Massachusetts Municipal Association website, the ordering information for Town Meeting Time is:

Town Meeting Time is considered by moderators to be their bible for town meeting. The book, subtitled "A Handbook of Parliamentary Law," was written specifically to guide town meeting procedures. The book was written by a committee of the Massachusetts Moderators Association, which first published it in 1962. The association published the third edition in 2001. To order a copy, send a check for $25 (including postage), payable to the Massachusetts Moderators Association, to Stow Town Moderator Edward Newman, 27 Whitney Road, Stow, MA 01775. The book can also be found in many public libraries. For more information, call Newman at (978) 897-7076.

Looks like the BlogStreet feed has returned to its blank, non-working state. *sigh* So anyone pulling an RSS/XML feed of this blog should stick with the so-called Sportsblogs feed for now. I'll leave the BlogStreet link so people can check it out now and then if they want, and we'll see where things go.

Still haven't received the Powerpoint file of the Peirce Field presentation.

It appears the BlogStreet feed is now "functioning", but it does a very minimalist scape -- you get no idea at all what the items are. We'll see if it gets any better. In the meantime, I've also added a link to yet another scraper. That can be accessed via the "RSS|XML(Sportsblogs)" link on the top left and also as http://rss.sportsblogs.org/makeRSS.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Farlingtontm.blogspot.com (yes, I know that's horribly ugly). Unlike BlogStreet, the Sportsblogs scraper will put the blog post contents in the RSS description field, so you can (yay!) read the post from your RSS reader without having to click through to the blog if you don't want to.

Grrr. Looks like BlogMatrix (what I was using to build an RSS feed from this blog) is going away. They suggested using Blogstreet in their place. I've created an account and registered this blog with them. They spit out http://feeds.blogstreet.com/43088.rss as the generated feed, but it's completely blank at the moment. I don't know if there's a day or two delay before a newly registered blog actually has content shown or if they're just hosed.

So if anyone knows of other free/cheap RSS generation sites, I'd be interested in hearing from you. I do know that Blogger/Blogspot offers RSS feed generation to paying members, but they aren't taking new paying members at the moment.
