Mr. Cobra Boy joined dr1! Look for his amazing weekly articles every mondays!!
Looking forward to all the insight, advise and words of wisdom from someone with the hands on experience.
Frank , I am anxious to see how your articles have gone, I have read the infrequently and find them very varied but typically the same. Can you advise ?
If you had closed the other thread this morning, you would have saved yourself from this.
I am not sure what this means, but if Cobra is going to have his own feature deal, I am hoping he is open to suggestions for topics.
Cobra, I remember a while back you were soliciting money for an organization called ?the Dream Project?, but it was not the Dream Project in Cabarete that has been there since 2002 (I believe you said you had not really heard of the other ?outfit?, but suspected they did good work too). This new Dream Project had a website with pictures of a young girl standing in front of a pallet of food they were going to donate to the poor Dominicans (one was of a girl holding spaghetti noodles in the form of a cross).
You seemed kind-of put off that some people (well me?) would question another organization using the ?Dream Project? brand in the DR (after all, I remember you saying, you were very familiar with the family of this new Dream Project, apparently this girl?s father was an FBI agent in CA or something, and this new Dream Project was an accredited 501C3 non-profit.
At the time I searched the IRS site for this new Dream Project, but couldn?t find it. I gave it the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe it was a recent addition (you know how stale those government websites can be).
The reason I am writing all this is this thread started me wondering about this other Dream Project, so I searched the web, but I couldn?t find anything about this new Dream Project. All that Google would give me was this Cabarete outfit. I then searched the IRS 501c3 site and still didn?t see it there either. As a last resort I searched DR1, and now I can?t even find the thread on DR1 anymore (clearly my searching skills are sub-par).
So, to circle back, if you are open to suggestions, as a future topic, could you provide us with an update as to what this new Dream Project is up to, and a link to their site (and their non-profit credentials)?
Thanks.

I did not close Mr. Polanco's thread because I have to protect his First Amendment rights to express himself. (Yeah, I know, this ain't ....)...
Anyway, it is some fun reading to see what people come up with...
Serious thought is not necessary ALLL the time, is it???

Oh ye of little faith:
Operation DREAM
These are my wife's cousins from Los Angeles (Olivo's). Geeorge Olivo is the FBI agent (BTW, they undergo intense financial scrutiny every year as an FBI agent.) Her brother, Raphael Olivo, ia a pastor in Santiago and the point ,man in the DR for the organization.
Here is another cousin that does good works in the DR and other places run by Peter Olivo out of Orlando, a Dominican who lost both legs in Viet Nam:
Hope for the Children International
This is the DR1 thread about their calloborative effort in an orphanage in Haiti that has since disappeared:
One Day in Haiti
You were obviously googling the wrong words. Both charities are alive and well, doing great works for kids in real need. 100% of donations go to direct aid, not a penny for overhead or other expenses. BTW, I wasn't soliciting money. It was YOU that made a huge deal about some legal infringement over name use of a fine organization with a similar moniker in Cabarete.
Is ok tomas , I screw up all the time too. lol...........you can re-test for our badge in the fall.
Now THAT is the way MEN, real men, handle things...Well done all of you.
Now, as for the OP and his blog on DR1...we are anxiously not waiting for the un-news and the really real stuff...
However, with the NFL strike almost over and the start of NFL training camps, I think that really real men will have their attention directed to other areas (and you girly men in other countries can anxiously await the start of that game where little men run around in shorts and kick a round ball around....)
And River is in Second Division for the first time in its 101 year history!!! Oh the horror!!! Can you imagine the Yankees being demoted to AAA??? That "girly" game has tough rules...you win or you go down and learn to play again....
Just funnin' ...all y' all have a good one, hear???

At least twice a game.
Fact is more game-changing plays occur in "special teams" (foot hitting football) than any other aspect of the game.
That funny shaped ball is why...
