At first glance Wolfhome
seems like something different. As this is a wolf theme chat room and forum. Both of which are handled completely separately.

The first is chat which you can sign up on it’s homepage. It’s basically 2D chat room with wolf theme characters, with different areas to meet and greet other members. You can sign up here

But I warn you if you sign up for a free account your choice of chatroom avatars is limited to one wolf character and limited color choices on options. But either way whatever area you choose on this island where all of this take place. The members are friendly, and open to a good chat. Although you will run in to quite a few who just login and appear to be asleep.

Now to the forum . Good news it’s a busy site over 7,000 members, posts are updated often. After signing up myself, I found the members are quite friendly and the mods are helpful.

But if you do sign up, there are a couple of things you should know. The Mods there strictly enforce a no adult material rule. I can’t even post a link to this blog, except on my own profile. I am not angry about this, as I believe there should be a safe place for furs under 18, and is it.

Secondly is a minor problem, you can’t upload your avatar to the site, you actually have to upload it to say a site like Photobucket and set the link.

Although, it appears on the forum it’s mainly limited to questions about avatars on the chat. New topics do appear from time to time, and it’s an interesting place to hang out.

There isn’t single person living in and around Chicago that isn’t happy that the NATO Weekend is over.

So what causes all that fear that everyone was feeling. You might be surprised by this but it’s the internet and You Tube. Vids actually posted by the protesters themselves, some of which are more graphic than is what shown by any of the media. We seen all the broken windows, the fires, the absolute chaos with conflicts with the police. Not to forget the tear gas.

A lot including me, gives high praise to the Chicago Police for keeping the violence in check. I know some have accused the Police of being heavy handed, besides the arrests there were only a few windows broken and no fires, let alone no cars turned over and set on fire like what happened in Seattle recently during a protest. Sadly a police officer was stabbed in the leg, by a protester which was totally uncalled for.

To whether NATO is a good thing or not, is best left for history to decide. But one good thing did happen at the meeting they decided to do a clean pull out out of Afghanistan by 2014. But also monitor the situation there so that the terrorists don’t take over the country again. Which as history tells us started this mess there in the first place. Now isn’t that a good thing?!

But even the Protesters have to be happy, due to the police keeping the anarchists under control. Because they actually got there messages out. So did the nurses, who pushed for the Robin Hood Tax on financial transactions.

But in the end there is not a single person in Chicago that isn’t glad NATO Weekend is over, there is a lot of us including me…who wish they don’t come back.

Living in Chicago this coming weekend is slowly becoming a nightmare to those of us who live there. It seems everyday we hear about a new restriction is travel to downtown and especially where the NATO meeting is to be held at McCormick Place.

Why even try to cover up that recent survey were everyone is saying Chicago residents aren’t worried. Let me tell you…most of us are. Or ask yourself this why has some building downtown have hired armed security guards. Or why scores of buildings are going to be locked up tight, with riot shields over their windows. Or even why they just announced yesterday, many of the transportation stops downtown could be closed without notice. Meanwhile more bus routes than I care to count are being re-routed away from downtown, and the protesters.

Many of us, including myself are going to stay away from this entire mess, and glad of it.

This recent appeared on Escapist Magazine’s forum

You know that awkward moment on Facebook where you find out your boss is a huge fan of the Yankees, and you just clicked the “Like” button on the Red Sox page? Those moments might get a little more tense, as a recent case involving a sheriff who fired employees over supposedly liking an opponent’s Facebook page ended with a federal judge ruling that liking a Facebook page doesn’t qualify for First Amendment protection.

The story goes like this: During the 2009 elections, Sheriff B.J. Roberts of Hampton, Virginia supposedly learned that a handful of his employees were supporting one of his opponents, Jim Adams, by clicking the “like” button on Adam’s Facebook page as well as attending a barbeque fundraiser. In response, Roberts called a department meeting, advising the staff to get on the “long train” with him rather than give their support to someone else, and then after winning re-election, Roberts canned several employees, including those who supported Adams.

The workers believed that their Facebook “Like” was the reason behind why they got axed, and sued Roberts for violating their First Amendment Rights under the not-so-unreasonable belief that a Facebook “Like” is protected by free speech and they were unlawfully terminated. Unfortunately, U.S. District Judge Raymond Jackson disagreed, and stated that while Facebook Posts could be considered protected speech, the simple act of “liking” a page isn’t enough to count since you don’t actually make any written statements when you do so.

“Simply liking a Facebook page is insufficient,” Judge Jackson said in his ruling. “It is not the kind of substantive statement that has previously warranted constitutional protection. ”

So what does this all mean? Well, that’s what legal scholars across the country are trying to figure out while the dismissed workers file an appeal. In the meanwhile though, you might want to be a little more conscious about what you do on Facebook until it all gets settled. Or just be like me, and stick to playing games.
