Download Instructions on How to Hold an OEC Bottle and Can Drive
Hold Your Own Bottle and Can Drive to Support OEC Thank you for being a Bottle Bonanza drive sponsor! Many of your friends and neighbors separate their NYS redeemable water/soda/beer cans and bottles and return them periodically to a store or redemption center for cash. Some can’t be bothered and simply discard them. Collecting these items and redeeming them makes them donors and you a fundraiser for Onondaga Earth Corps. Here are some steps to take to hold a successful bottle and can drive: 1. Decide when and where you want to hold your drive. Some people hold them in their neighborhood at their own house and ask their neighbors and friends to drop off their donations. Others choose to pick up the donations at the source. Decide what’s right for you! 2. Contact Pieter Keese to schedule your drive and arrange any support you might need. [email protected] 315-289-6776 (phone or text) When texting state your name and Bottle Bonanza intention. 3. Hand out flyers a week or two before the drive. Download the fillable PDF flyer at the Bottle Bonanza website and complete it with your drive information for distribution in your neighborhood. Use your social media savvy to alert your friends. 4. Hold your drive 5. Take your collection to the redemption center (list provided below). 6. Advise the redemption center that the proceeds are for Onondaga Earth Corps.

Savage 1 “Who’s gonna turn down a Junior Mint? It’s chocolate, it’s peppermint ─it’s delicious!” While this may sound like your typical television commercial, you can thank Jerry Seinfeld and his butter fingers for what is actually one of the most renowned lines in television history. As part of a 1993 episode of Seinfeld , subsequently known as “The Junior Mint,” these infamous words have certainly gained a bit more attention than the show’s writers had originally bargained for. In fact, those of you who were annoyed by last year’s focus on a McDonald’s McFlurry on NBC’s 30 Rock may want to take up your beef with Seinfeld’s producers for supposedly showing marketers the way to the future ("Brand Practice: Product Integration Is as Old as Hollywood Itself").

Bonanza' Ranch Rides Into Pop Culture Sunset
Powered by SAVE THIS | EMAIL THIS | Close 'Bonanza' ranch rides into pop culture sunset INCLINE VILLAGE, Nevada (Reuters) -- A great symbol of the rugged old West, or at least as it was portrayed by Hollywood, is riding off into the sunset. The Ponderosa Ranch, an American West theme park where the television show "Bonanza" was filmed, closed Sunday after its sale to a financier whose plans for the property are unclear. The show, which ran on NBC from 1959 to 1973, was the top-rated U.S. program in the mid-1960s. Before the park closed, it was easy with a little imagination to feel transported there to a time when the American West was still a place to be tamed. Wranglers and a Stetson were proper attire. A sign outside the Silver Dollar Saloon welcomed ladies and not just the ones who earn a living upstairs. Fans of the long-running "Bonanza," which still airs on cable television, may recall Little Joe and Hoss getting the horses ready while Ben Cartwright yells from his office to see if the boys were doing what they were told in the 1860s West. "The house is the part I recognize -- the fireplace, the dining room, his office, the kitchen," said Oliver Barmann, 38, from Hessen, Germany, who visited the 570-acre grounds a week before the Ponderosa Ranch closed. "It's a pity it is closing," he said as his wife, Silvia, nodded in agreement. The property with postcard views of Lake Tahoe along Nevada's border with California became a theme park in the late 1960s, after the color-filmed scenes of "Bonanza"-- a first for a Western TV show in its day -- became part of American television lore.

Annalise Keating's Portrayal As a Black Attorney Is the Real Scandal
UCLA National Black Law Journal Title Annalise Keating's Portrayal as a Black Attorney is the Real Scandal: Examining How the Use of Stereotypical Depictions of Black Women can Lead to the Formation of Implicit Biases Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6wd3d4gk Journal National Black Law Journal, 27(1) ISSN 0896-0194 Author Toms-Anthony, Shamar Publication Date 2018 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California ANNALISE KEATING’S PORTRAYAL AS A BLACK ATTORNEY IS THE REAL SCANDAL: Examining How the Use of Stereotypical Depictions of Black Women Can Lead to the Formation of Implicit Biases Shamar Toms-Anthony* Abstract Law firms are struggling to increase the representation and retention of Black women, and Black women have reported feeling excluded, invisible, and a lack of support within law firms. In this Comment, I posit that ABC’s hit show “How to Get Away with Murder” over relies on traditional negative stereotypes about Black women. Annalise Keating, the show’s lead character, conforms to the stereotypes of the Jezebel, the Mammy, and the Angry Black Woman. Fur- ther, Keating’s representation as a Black female attorney is uniquely significant because historically Black women have done very little lawyering on the television screen. Thus, Keating’s representation as a Black female attorney on a show that has garnered upwards of twenty million viewers in a single episode is extremely influential, as it can have the effect of shaping audiences’ perceptions about Black women in the legal profession. As a result, I argue that the show’s negative depic- tion of Keating as a Black female attorney can lead to the formation of implicit biases about Black female attorneys, and may contribute to why Black women are having a difficult time excelling in law firms, which are 92.75 percent White.
