Happy Second Birthday, Hamden Patch!

Two years ago today we hit the switch and Hamden Patch was born.

 

It's hard to believe that it's been only two years since Hamden Patch made its first appearance on these interwebs, but it has -- two years ago today we flipped the switch and voila, Hamden Patch appeared on a computer near you.

Much has changed since then except for one thing -- our commitment to bring you everything you need to know about Hamden in order to make your life ridiculously easy.

If the weather's nice, we'll tell you where the best events are taking place. 

If the weather's bad -- as we recently experienced during Hurricane Sandy, and did last year during Hurricane Irene -- we'll tell you where to avoid, what's the latest emergency information and when it's safe to venture out again.

For two years we've documented the happenings in town government, what's going on in the schools, in the town's businesses -- anything that is of interest to residents.

And we'll continue to do that, better than ever.

So this Thanksgiving we have a lot to be thankful for, and most of all we are thankful for you, our readers. You have supported us and continued to grow in numbers, and we appreciate your loyalty and your continued support.

We ask you to spread the word about Hamden Patch to your friends and neighbors so we can continue to become a platform for conversation, content and commerce for the entire town.

Thanks for two great years, and we look forward to many more to come!

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

This is a understatement!!! If americans really knew what obamas agendas are for our country, we allRead More would be in a state of PANIC!! But its all unfolding before our very eyes, we all seem toooo busy, and preoccupied to see it. Our present government is the most corrupt, unconstitutional, and criminal we as americans have ever had. So brace youselves, its gonna get a lot worse, before it gets better. Learn from the past, there is only ONE HOPE, thats GOD above. We all better get on our knees and start praying for MERCY<<!!!

Get out of the Common Core mandated curriculum that's how you save our children. He's a report fromRead More Dept of Ed- DOE released a report as part of its common core standards that included technology to monitor students in the name of developing best teaching practices that could promote "GRIT,TENACITY, AND PERSERVERANCE." Behavior task performance measures are the broad set of methods used to capture behavior consistent with perseverance or lack thereof, and in many cases associated emotional experiences, physical movements or facial expressions, physiological responses, and thoughts-- that students do in response to a particular challenge, the report said. Wanting to understand a student's response in a time of stress, the dept. report went on to state its desire to analyze various metrics, including facial expression, brain waves patterns, heart rate, posture and eye tracking using facial recognition cameras, posture analysis seats, pressure mouse, and wireless skin conductance sensor ( worn around the wrist). Sensors provide constant, parallel streams of data and are used with data mining techniques and self report measures to examine frustration, motivation/flow, confidence, boredom and fatigue, the report said.

while receiving Staples Rewards does help defray the cost of supplies for the teachers, they areRead More STILL putting cash out of their own pockets! This should not be. But Kudos to the teachers who put their students above their own financial situation. The Town and parents should be footing the costs, not the teachers.

Cheryl i like your insights, as mine are very similiar. We should get in touch and talk more aboutRead More these things. What do you think?
cheryl May 25, 2013 at 04:43 pm
;) It's funny- I was having a conversation with Progressive Mom. She is clueless. She is I'm sureRead More for the collective. I tried to explain things to her. didn't get thru. They are just blinded by their ideology and will NOT listen or do any research on their own. they listen to talking points and main stream media who are in the tank with this administration. Relatives , brother, wife, sisters, are in official position in CBS, NBC,ABC who work for BHO in his administration. Of course they're going to be in bed with them. Blood is thicker than water. Anyway, at least we know, now we need to tell all who we come in contact with.
