Beware Article V! Understanding the Risk of a Constitutional Convention!Submitted by libertysilver on Tue, 08/13/2013 - 20:46
- Login to post comments
3/4th of the state legislatures are going to pass those. Give me a break. If you have so little faith in the system - Article V is part of the same Constitution some here seem to worship - why do you advocate its preservation?
[F]orce can only settle questions of power, not of right. - Clyde N. Wilson
Related Post
Before Ron Paul announced his candidacy for president in 2007, greatly intensifying the liberty movement, I was involved in discussions with a diverse group of people from across the political spectrum who were aware of and concerned about the growing disregard for constitutional restraints.
One of the people I spoke to frequently was Joel Hirschhorn, author of Delusional Democracy. By 2007, he had joined with some other people and formed something called "Friends of the Article V Convention", which is here: foavc.org.
Just like some on the right like Mark Levin who are now supporting this idea, Joel and his group have many reasons why they believe an Article V constitutional convention would be helpful. [Related Daily Paul Thread about Mark Levin]
Alexander Hamilton describes Article V in Federalist Paper #85.
Eisenhower made the following comments about the convention:
"Through their state legislatures and without regard to the federal government, the people can demand a convention to propose amendments that can and will reverse any trends they see as fatal to true representative government."
Personally, I have some problems with the convention that I have seen echoed from others. Here are my top six:
(1) In the original constitutional convention, the stated goal was only to amend the articles of confederation but instead we got a whole new document. It could happen again.
(2) Since the government is not even abiding by the current constitution, what would amending it or creating a new one accomplish?
(3) What is the enforcement mechanism since the states do not have their own military forces like they did when article V was written?
(4) Dr. Paul has often claimed that the culture must change and people's thinking must change for there to be liberty. If we had a convention right now, would it be libertarian? If that were true and that is where the country is at, why didn't they elect Dr. Paul in overwhelming numbers?
(5) Our current constitution has issues but the largest problem is that it is not followed. This at the very least allows us to claim the government is not following the constitution. What if we end up with a constitution that justifies and legalizes the tyrannical institutions and actions we see now?
(6) The state governments are hardly better than fedgov and they've sold out all their real authority. How would a bunch of fed wanna-be politicians in state offices somehow magically end up working for the people in a convention when they're against the people now?
What do you think about this issue? Should we have an article V convention or is this madness?
Levin has it right, opponents are stupid or status quoists
I appreciate the mention of me, my book and the group Friends of the Article V Convention. I am thrilled that someone with such high media status and credibility like Mark Levin has come in strong support of using the constitutional method of fixing our very sick nation. To oppose using what the Founders gave for good reason means that you are either stupid, lack critical thinking skills, or have a personal interest in protecting the current corrupt, dysfunctional and ever worsening federal government. Levin is absolutely correct; we need to use the Article V convention option to fix the structural, systemic core problems with the current system that is so perverted and corrupted by the two party plutocracy. True conservatives and all others who genuinely respect our Constitution and who recognize that elections no longer can fix things should passionately support using the Convention option. I have published countless articles trying to educate Americans about this option, but still, as evidence by many posts on this and other websites, far too many people fear a convention when they really should fear sticking with the status quo controlled by the rich and powerful elites on the right and left who fear a convention for the reforms it could create that Congress would never propose. Check out foavc.org and my articles (Joel S. Hirschhorn).
You get delusional prosperity in a delusional democracy
How totally and completely awesome that you've been a DP member for over five years and I had no clue! I couldn't have possibly found anyone better to respond to my comment than you obviously!
Read my new article
If you can think for yourself, read my new article "God Bless Mark Levin" at http://www.nolanchart.com/article10382-god-bless-mark-levin....
You get delusional prosperity in a delusional democracy
Most importantly, as I and others have repeatedly said for years, Levin has come to the conclusion that rather fear an amendment convention Americans should more fear sticking with the current corrupt, dysfunctional government system that has brought the US down into what I called a delusional democracy.
I've watched the two parties and the money power that backs them take over every single genuine grassroots movement. They already own everything from the town/city level on up.
Where do the honorable representatives to the convention come from?
How will the con reps be any better than any other politician?
Why won't the two parties and the plutocracy just buy/coopt the convention? I believe it would happen and as evidence I present the Tea Party movement and Occupy Wall Street.
How am I wrong about this? I'd like to be wrong, but I can't take somebody's word for it. I need to see a process before me that proves that only honorable people will attend the convention. Show me how that is possible and I'll support this with all my passion.
I see a nation of 440 million people and 40+ million are not citizens or here legally. Of the remaining 400 million, how many understand and live the philosophy of liberty? What is the true nature of this body politic? Would people 100 years ago put up with what we have now?
We'll end up with a constitution that declares a national religion and guarantees everyone a job, judging by the beliefs of most Americans today.
I don't trust democracy and I don't trust plutocracy. I trust the small number of individuals who are well informed and liberty minded. They represent never more than an absolute max of 10% of our elected officials at every level. 10% of the voting population perhaps. How does a marginalized 10% of the population insure that all the delegates to the convention are of their thinking? They don't. And if they did, it would be Tampa all over again.
Meanwhile, the government has been left to interpret its own chains and that has failed quite miserably. The constitution does not say what the supreme court has decided it says. That is the real problem.
This system we have now totally sucks and is getting worse by the day. If I were delusional about that, I'd not have been here for many years. As a historian I am aware that it could be a whole lot worse.
A clue
I'd read more from the following site if terms were nailed down instead of terms being counterfeit.
"The Founding Fathers of our nation recognized the importance of providing this means by which the citizens of our country could initiate amendments to change and/or clarify the Constitution; the fundamental document which they intended to be not only the blueprint for our federal system but also "the supreme Law of the Land"."
If "Founding Fathers" include Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, John Adams, or James Madison as so called "Federalists," then the term Federalist means "to consolidate all power into one power".
If "Founding Fathers" include those people who worked to maintain a Democratic (not mob rule, this term means "all are equal according to any law), Federated (not meaning "to consolidate all power into one power, rather the meaning of federation or confederation is to voluntarily associate for mutual defensive purposes) Republic, such as Daniel Shays, Luther Martin, Patrick Henry, George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and later James Madison, then the two groups of "Founding Fathers" are certainly not one group of "Founding Fathers" since one group was working to Monopolize, to seize POWER by any means, and the other group offered a tried and true method of creating and maintaining Free Market Government or a Democratic Federated Republic form of voluntary government.
It is clearly understandable as to which side any person places themselves as the Monopolists invariably set themselves up as Masters over Slaves and the Democratic Federated Republic proponents offer a voluntary association. It does not get any clearer than that in actual reality.
The concept of a Con Con Con Job has already happened.
Here is the sad story:
A clue as to which side anyone is on (Monopoly or Free Market Government) is exactly what the individual does work to get.
Get power over their targeted victims.
Offer a voluntary association which includes a method of combining defensive power so as to deter those who work to create and maintain the number 1 goal above.
If those who currently pay into a National Debt (Hamilton's baby) produce their own money (stop using "Federal" Reserve Notes), then the Hamilton types (Monopolists) will send a Cult of Personality such as Washington to crush those competitors daring to compete in Legal Money Markets, as was done by Washington as Hamilton sent the Strong Man to invade the former Republic of Pennsylvania, with a conscripted Army of slaves, to crush those who dared to make their own competitive money in the form of whiskey.
Anyone daring to question the order to use only one POWER (of money, or of criminal force) may be silenced such as was done by John Adams with those Alien Acts called the Alien and Sedition Acts which are Acts that are Alien to Free people.
Madison realized his error in Monopolizing all the competitive, constitutionally limited, Republics (which worked so well as a Free Market Government under The Articles of Confederation) into ONE MONOPOLY CRIME POWER, after the Alien and Sedition Acts, and then Madison joined forces with Jefferson to work toward a return to voluntary government.
That is well documented here:
A Con Con that is not a Con Job can certainly be a step toward breaking up the Monopoly Power and move toward voluntary government if those who are doing such things are doing such things instead of those people doing the opposite thing.
Here are a few examples of going in the direction of involuntary, consolidated, monopoly, criminal, government:
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
The Declaration of Independence is shared, voluntarily, by those who
understand the duties of free people required to be free, such as the moral necessity of severing connections to criminals who falsely claim to be authorities.
Those who falsely claim to be authorities are those whose authority requires fraud, extortion, kidnapping, and murder done by them to be legal for them to perpetrate, and illegal for anyone else to perpetrate the same crimes they do and the same crimes that they pay themselves so well for doing, while they hand the victims the bills.
Here is another tidbit (no longer an doubt as to the criminality of the false authorities):
Section 4.
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.
Any questions?
End the FED
End the IRS
Bring the Troops Home (start in the mirror)
Do so by July 4th 2014, start now, finish early.
If all 4 goals can be reached, they can be reached in many competitive ways including a Constitutional Convention whereby the intention is to return to a voluntary association of Constitutionally Limited Republics (50 or more) into one STRICTLY defensive force, or Federation of Republics, then why not do so sooner rather than too late?
I will address your concerns
1) The situation then was completely different. The difference was the national government at the time. The states basically accepted the new constitution, the only betrayal was the Articles Congress dissolved itself perhaps a bit preemptively. The federal government today being so powerful, I doubt it would relent to a new government that formed according to the wishes of a coalition of states. In other words, the Article V convention assumes the supremacy and dominance of the federal government. Whereas the Articles Government was easily dissolvable, the current government will hardly respond to any national convention in this way.
2) The government is abiding the current constitution, just according to its own interpretation of it. Electoral politics have proven ineffective in reversing this interpretation. Constitutional amendments could being a process of reversing that interpretation by: 1 - making certain things too explicit to be misinterpreted and 2 - by restructuring things to make electoral politics more capable of restoring the proper interpretation.
3) The enforcement mechanism is that right now we accept the current interpretation because there is no other constitutionally endogenous means of interpretation. I support nullification, but the establishment does not. The establishment is forced by vagueries and traditional interpretation to live with the way things are. But making other things explicit, it will demolish both that which is vague and that which is traditional. For example, the idea of allowing a Congressional (or state legislatures) veto of Supreme Court rulings. This accepts the current system of judicial review, but then provides an electoral means to change the outcome of the interpretation process.
4)Marxists claim that knowledge is historical, rationalists claim that history is the product of ideas. I contend that it's a little bit of both. If people were angels, we wouldn't need government, but at the same time we could live just fine with total government. If people were smart enough to elect Ron Paul, then constitutional interpretation wouldn't matter. The states could exist as, at best, a loose confederation. In the meantime, the constitution is what protects us from a state of war which is in the case of our present day, nothing but us being subject to an outright fascism. Part of why people don't vote for Ron Paul is because everything from education to media to our financial system and the source of our credit and jobs is tied into the federal power that has been created since the progressive era. Many of us can transcend material constrain and live according to ideas. That's why there are any Paul voters. But many simply will not while they're still subject to the culture of Leviathan. Meaningful political shifts might make a difference. Limiting federal spending might stave off some of these national entitlements, which would affect that nationalist culture.
5)I don't know. What if we end up in that situation? There'd be civil discord, and martial law. How long would that last? If we're heading there anyway, then what's the point? We might as well face it. However, it's not as if the current constitution is helping us all that much. The 2nd amendment does prohibit Congress from mitigating the right to bear arms, but it doesn't guarantee the possession thereof. It all depends who's on the court really.
This is the toughest question philosophically. If the constitution is a true social compact, then we more or less abide it within the philosophical bounds listed by the declaration (not binding, just, in essence). If the constitution is this illegitimate thing we never signed, well, then why are we following it now. I tend to think of it as a football that gets passed back and forth by competing factions and it has little to do with the philosophy of liberty per se. In the context of that ball game, I say we try to amend it.
My ultimate argument against you is that if the bad guys have that much power, why haven't they amended it already? Why hasn't Congress just proposed an amendment and the states accepted it? The argument against a convention is this argument that our liberty is best protected by a permanent stasis. I would agree with the utility of that argument, except that with things like Obamacare and the NSA I foresee the stalemate essentially progressing closer to tyranny regardless. So I feel like, as the strategic losers here, risks are more beneficial to us than to our adversaries.
6) State governments can be pretty bad, but they also can be pretty good. Tom Woods' 3x5 cards of approved opinion MUST be upheld in the national congress. The media will pick up on and demolish anyone who does deviate. On the local level, people can get away with deviating.
Yes, it's susceptible to corruption, but local politics are also free from the opinion police in a way national politics aren't. Again, we're losing, so the risks benefit us.
Why would they need to?
My ultimate argument against you is that if the bad guys have that much power, why haven't they amended it already?
Bad ultimate argument and you know it because you stated the very reason this is the case earlier in your comment. The Supreme Court has decided that the commerce clause enables the FedGov to have unlimited power. It has also done nothing about "Constitution Free Zones" and "Free Speech Zones". It has interpreted the whole Bill of Rights wrongly in a way the increases rather than restrains the power of FedGov. Who needs an amendment when the court can decide that FedGov can do whatever it wants without said amendment?
6a) When a state government goes bad
an individual can move out of its jurisdiction to a freer state or location. I, for example, moved to another school district after a federal judge decided to destroy the one I was living in.
Similarly, the system was originally set up so that if the federal government went bad the state government could nullify bad federal law or leave the union. It was the last non-violent resort for a state to block an overreaching federal government. That option has got to be there to keep the federal government honest. Since Lincoln determined secession was not an option, government had no reason to remain honest.

I disagree with her
First of all, with all of the attention and resources of the progressive machine aimed at Wisconsin - it being the only game in town so to speak - the people and Governor still prevailed in passing common sense policies.
Second, people don't get that it doesn't matter what the convention proposes. 3/4 of the states must ratify each amendment separately. The convention is called by 2/3 of the states, so there will be a general mandate. People will go into it with at least some guidance.
It's not as if there's a 'break glass in case you want to rewrite constitution' button. This isn't a convention to redo the constitution.
Again, 2/3 of the states call for it. The convention then proposes a series of amendments. Each amendment is individually ratified by each state legislature. If 3/4 ratify, that specific amendment passes.
Congress can already, by 2/3 vote, propose an amendment to the states. They can propose a thousand crazy amendments.
The difference between this convention and Congress is that congresspeople are scrutinized in the national media. If they have unapproved opinions, they are called nut jobs and run out. State legislatures can more easily get away with 'nut job' ideas like subjecting supreme court rulings to a congressional veto. Also, do you think Congress will ever propose term limits for its members?
The idea is that whatever amendments might be needed - and so we assume that our constitution suffers some flaws (such as unaccountable judicial review) - if Congress won't pass and the people want them, then there must be something specifically wrong with Congress preventing it. The term limits thing is a great example, but another example is the 17th amendment. The Senate would hate to be able to be recalled from office by the legislature. Budget balancing - this prevents Congress from all its lucrative special interest deals. State legislatures aren't in on those deals, so they have less reason to be against a balanced federal budget. This is the purpose of the convention.
The only danger of the convention is that you might argue that Congress people worry about reelection, so they might not propose a very unpopular amendment. Delegates to a convention can be paid off, and with no reelection to worry about, disappear into the woodwork. Okay, but any amendment still requires 3/4 of the states to ratify it. I just can't see this being a problem, whereas I do see the idea of waiting for Congress to propose an amendment as being a problem. Who knows, maybe the threat of a convention will cause congress to propose amendments preemptively? That's an advantage we haven't spoken of.
If anything, the only danger from a convention comes from publicity. In other words, bad people already conspiring to engage in a coup could use a convention as a smoke screen to temporarily confuse the public. On the heels of a convention to 'propose amendments' to the constitution, they could announce a new government. They could pretend that the convention grants them some kind of legitimacy. This would not be legally accurate, and would be transparent.
If that's the plan, then I think we're dealing with bigger problems than a few rogue amendments that would never be ratified.
Any proposal to replace the entire constitution
would require the ratification of each state desiring to become a part of the new union. That is how the Articles of Confederation were replaced. Rhode Island and North Carolina were independent countries for about a year before they ratified the constitution.
The vote of any other state would not have any legitimacy in yours.
[F]orce can only settle questions of power, not of right. - Clyde N. Wilson
The original AOC required unanimous vote of all 13 States to amend. The new convention simply bypassed that provision by declaring the AOC dead (the Congress of the Confederacy promptly obeyed and laid down) and then declaring they needed only 2/3 of States to proclaim a new government. Using this device, The other States were left orphaned and eventually were pressured into ratifying the new Con. nice trick, huh?
we ignore the ones we have
perhaps a convention that spells it out would reignite energy into the problem
but i don't trust anyone who calls for a convention without a specific goal in mind.
Levin on Hannity today
This is going to be pushed.
I heard Hannity today having Levin on about it.
We need to educate people on what it really means.

The 50 Best Things To Eat Right Now
High-end comfort food? Last year's news. Gelato? Gone cold. Plain old potato chips? Still pretty damn good, honestly, but not good enough. Because every year brings crazy-delicious things to munch on and next-wave food movements to revive our weary palates. That's why we've found the fifty best for 2014, from the newest farmers'-market obsessions (sorry, kale) to the elevated-toast phenomenon to, yes, the miraculously crispier, can't-stop-eating-it chip.

Buy/Sell/Trade: Other Classifieds - Page 2
RULES: Please make sure to read and familiarize yourself with the rules for the buying and selling forum to ensure that you have a good time. By using the Styleforum Classifieds, you agree to be bound by the current rules and to be subject to any penalties for breaking them.CLICK HERE TO READ THE BUYING AND SELLING RULES - NEW CHANGES 4/19/12 (Click to show)
General guidelines:
1. Please be respectful of your fellow members. Do not use profanity in these listings, and please do not sabotage any seller threads. If you have serious concerns about a seller, please email us at email@example.com.
2. We will not, as a policy, become involved in any disputes between sellers and buyers. However, please note that your participation on the forum is a privilege, not a right, and that your privileges may be revoked if there are serious, legitimate complaints about you, and especially if there are complaints from multiple members.
1. General Listing rules
You may have a maximum of 15 listings, which would allow you to potentially have a listing in every category, and have an extra listing to boot.
You may list multiple items in a listing, as long as they are all from the same category (e.g., one listing with multiple different ties). However, grouping items in a listing is not mandatory. You may list each item separately if you wish, up to your limit of 15.
You may group green ties separately from red ties, or nice suits separately from ugly suits. You may tailor your listings as you see fit. This is to enable sellers to use whatever marketing tools you feel are most effective for you.
The same goes with pictures - you may use them as you wish. Please note that if you do not use the image chooser, however, no preview picture will be visible with your listing.
We do ask that you do not list an item in more than one active listing at a time, with one exception: you may cross-list an item in both Men's Clothing and Streetwear and Denim classifieds if you so choose.
You may engage in discussions as you like. Posts will not automatically "bump" a listing. The default "bump" period is one every 7 days. Bumps must be administered manually.
There are very affordable "premium" seller memberships that allow you to bump more frequently, and have highlighted and bolded listings. You may find descriptions of the options here.
Please refrain from any NSFW listings or pictures. They will be deleted, and you may be fined or banned.
New members must wait 45 days in order to be able to post. This is to cut down on spam and to acclimatize sellers to Styleforum's norms. You may bypass this requirement by buying into a premium seller option.
2. Full descriptions of items should be provided in body of the listings.
3. You may provide links to your other, active listings. However, you will be expected to keep this current. Do note that if you only have a small number of listings, 5 of your active listings are posted in the sidebar.
4. You may post an item(s) with a link to its listing on Ebay or another auction site. However, no general solicitations to browse Ebay stores or any external webstores is allowed as a listing in and of itself. I.e., you can link to your webstore within a listing, but the listing cannot merely be links to "check out my latest listings in my Ebay webstore," without item descriptions.
5. Please do not delete any information, including images or selling price, at any time, including when you close your thread. Simply choose "close thread". If you have a multi-item listing, please merely put a highly visible "SOLD" beside the sold item.
6. Please state your terms clearly. A set price must be listed for items. You may be open to offers, but a set price must be listed regardless. If you have a multi-item listing, there must be at least one item at the price listed.
7. Please do not list any payment terms that are against the terms of service for any other website, or do anything that would make us have to phone our lawyer (because we will take down the listing, and you may be banned or fined.) For example, please do not ask for "personal payments," from Paypal.
8. The classifieds system is not intended for use by commercial entities. All companies must apply to firstname.lastname@example.com to apply for affiliate membership.
1. You are strongly encouraged to leave seller feedback. Please leave respectful feedback. Any feedback with profanity will be deleted. If you are not the buyer of an item, do not leave feedback. If you do so, you may be subject to serious penalties.
All users:
Please be sure to follow these simple rules, and please do not attempt to "game" the system in any way (i.e. use loopholes in the rules above to your unfair advantage.) Please remember that use of this system is a privilege, and not a right. Any abuse of the system may result in your privileges to use Styleforum to be revoked, and/or a fine of no less than $500 USD, and not more than say, $1trillion USD.
Please email any questions or concerns to email@example.com
Enjoy the new, new system.

Yesterday, the rain let up, so I went outside to look at my herb seed sprouts to see how they were growing and a bird pooped on my head.
"They" say that it's good luck.....whoever "they" are. Even my Indian friend said that that is what her mother said to her back in India, so there ya go....it's globally known as "good luck" to have a bird crap on your head.
Now maybe, just maybe, the bird in the nest by my door was getting back at me for always going in and out, but hey, it's my door, go build your nest somewhere else tweetie. Maybe it was a sign from above that things were going to start to look up this week. Either way, I had to wash my hair.
A ton of stuff has gone on..mainly my 5 year old getting an illness that lasted for 4 solid days of fever, a stomach ache, then a headache, then a trip to the doc, then a negative strep, then a script to get CBC Blood tests done, then an embarrassing screamfest at the lab that resulted in no blood being drawn, then a call to the docs office to get an antibiotic just in case this thing was a bacterial infection, and not viral. And that was on all done on my Tuesday lunch hour. Well, the antibiotic seemed to work, and he's all pink & smiling again....and now at 1am...I just took my 3 year olds temp and it's 99. And we are going to Boston tomorrow. And I need another 5 days of fever like a hole in the head.
But then again...I have to count my blessings. I don't have a husband in hospice like my friend. I have a loving family that means the world to me. I have a hubby that is my other half. I have a friend who was there for me today just when I needed her. I have a graduation weekend with my entire family in Boston starting tomorrow...and we are all going on the ferry together!
Now...I have had other things that truly and honestly stunk this week, but I am not counting my chickens before they are hatched. Remember....I got pooped on by a bird, and that is good luck, so chances are that all will be fine.
Yup...a bird pooped on my head...and I am AOK with that.
Hey all. I know it's been a while! Lots of stuff going on here.
Great news first, which I honestly don't think I've mentioned...2 new babies will be entering the family this year! WOoohOOOOohhoooo! My sister and sisterinlaw are both expecting! YAY! and then NEXT year, there will be a wedding!!! My other sister is engaged!!! WooohoooOOoooHOoooO!!
It's very exciting on all accounts!!!!
More good news....maintenance is still AOK. I can toot my horn here...137/138 is my average weight & that is just fine. What more could I ask for in that respect. My philosophy on weightloss is coming into play here....basically is keeping your weight stable for your lifestyle. And so at least I am walking the walk with that theory under my belt. My lifestyle went from being very active all day long, so sitting and studying during my downtime...therefore I am NOT as active and fit as I'd like to be, but if I am maintaining the weightloss, then I am happy with that. I will get back into the fitness part in due time. And I can't beat myself up over this either. I have to accept it - find healthy opportunities (which i still do) when I can, but no guilt is allowed because there is a bigger picture involving an important deadline that has to be met....and the clock is ticking fast.
Gee. No pressure..none at all.
OK - there is probably a small novella that I could write to entertain, but I really have to get back to a quiz. Procrastination happens here & there when I get stuck, but I have to rip off the bandaid, get it done and move on or else I will be behind.
Take care everyone...I miss being here and chatting...but now at least you know I'm still alive!! LoL
And remember, I still check in, so if you need me, just holler!
My goodness!!! Today is like the aftermath of a really good keg party in college....people wanting to sleep in, the house is a pseudo-mess of things randomly strewn here & there, having a headache that won't quit...wanting water like a camel gone dry. And the kicker is - noone drank! LOL!!! Well, they couldn't because they are only 8 and under, but they sure partied yesterday!
They had a blast with their cousins - 3 communion kids, 3 families converging on an American Legion Hall...one dj that was too loud, tons of food that went! Well, that was a good party in my kid's eyes! and a success in ours! The only thing we forgot to get were Communion cards & gifts for the other kids. Well, they have no choice but to deal and get it in the mail! Sorry, I completely flaked out on that one. ooops!
So today is 6 loads of laundry, photos uploaded to share later tonight, mail the cards out, try and get the little guy down for a nap and then do some chemistry while he is napping. Oh - and get rid of this headache. Uh oh I think I need to go food shopping too. Later tonight maybe. Oh no, I just looked at my calendar - the plant sale is at school for the kids - sent them in with no money....another OOoops! Ugh - I'm striking out big time this week so far & it hasn't even begun!! LOL
Well, one step at a time...that is all we can do right?
Whew - now to get back to work!!
Have a great day everyone!!
Hey all!
I know I've been quiet, so here's just a quick update:
School is moving right along...tough week though, too many things going on - lots of distruptions, but whatever...it's going to be like that here & there!
Maintenance, just fine...my usual junk still...the monkey on my back, but I'm maintaining, so that is a positive in my book!!!
And just a quick note to those who feel the need to advertize on people blogs...it's a real thorn in my side, so DON'T do it on mine, thank you very much.
Why do I even bring this up????? Because it is a pet peeve - a BIG ONE.
I do NOT care if some pill or herb or drink helped you out, because, you see - I've done all that crap and ya know what? It does NOT WORK!!!!!! (in my humble opinion) Why would I be busting my butt eating right and exercising (when I can) to keep this weight off if there were a magic pill out there????? Why would I be going to school for Nutrition for Pete's sake if I didn't learn a bunch of stuff on HERE to go and want pay it forward by helping others?????
Oh yes, I will delete you as fast as it is put up...and in fact, I'm going to take note and jot some names down too, and report it to the higher ups.
If that is what you want to do on YOUR page....BE MY GUEST! but have the courtesy to keep it OFF OF MINE!
I don't go around preaching about anything in the form of politics, religion or race either. The only thing I could possibly be called preachy about is nutrition tracking! Repect other people and talk amongst yourselves in a team forum if you want to...just don't go splattering your stuff on random people's pages.
There - I feel better. Best of luck to you and your "whatever" too.
Hey all!!
I'm BAAAAAAAAACK!!
Back to tracking.
Back to feeling the most normal and sane in a while...and yes, I will attribute it to the tracking.
Food tracking is my passion! There you go - I openly admit it...I am a nutrition tracking junkie!!
In front of me now is a calendar CHOCK full of well...you name it...but ya know what? It is not daunting me - laughing at me - or provoking me into insanity which, honestly a few days ago, would have.
A couple of calculations and writing things down helped a bunch, and just like Sparking, I'm attacking my calendar in the same way. Step by step....and day by day.
This is my comfort zone now...I will get everything done in due time. I will put the effort in when needed, but I will also note and pay attention when to take a break. There, in black & white, it is a bit easier to handle. Trust me, I wigged out and did not sleep well a few days once everything was put onto this calendar, but now that I'm implementing the first crazy part, it's not so bad.
Bit by bit....day by day...things will get done....just like weightloss, it takes perseverance. I got that...it's time to use it in a different genre, that's all.
Now....all I have to do is s-q-u-eeeeeee-z-e in some cardio time. What? are you surprised? Hey, there are only so many hours in the day! LoL Don't worry...I'm planning on walking to work a few days a week....see? Time management at it's finest!!

PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/02/12 -- The Anita Borg Institute (ABI) will address the question, "Are We There Yet?" this week at its 7th annual Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) event in Baltimore, MD. Over 3,600 people from 42 countries, including technical women, corporate executives, academic institutions, students and government officials, will gather to present new research and discuss women's advances, opportunities and challenges in computer science and technology.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, there will be 1.4 million new jobs in computing and computer-related roles created by 2018. By 2016, U.S. companies will only be able to fill half of their technical positions with computer science graduates. Over the last two decades, the Anita Borg Institute has provided resources and programs to help industry, academia, and government recruit, retain, and advance women in high-tech fields.
"There are excellent role models for women in computer science and technology today," said Telle Whitney, president and CEO of The Anita Borg Institute. "Many of the women technologists who are speaking at this year's conference are leading researchers, computer science professors, and technical executives at leading companies and leaders from government agencies. Their accomplishments are impressive. While women today are clearly major contributors in highly technical fields, there is still plenty of work to do to inspire and advance women of all ages to embrace technology as a career."
ABI, along with its various sponsors will discuss how to create and foster academic and work environments that encourage women of all ages to seek professions in computer and engineering fields.
2012 sponsors include:
Corporate and Government Sponsors
- Platinum Corporate Sponsors: Amazon, Broadcom, CA Technologies, Cisco, Dell Inc., Facebook, Google Inc., HP, IBM, Intel Corporation, Intuit, Juniper Networks, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Microsoft, NetApp, SAP, Thomson Reuters
- Platinum Government Patrons: National Science Foundation, National Security Agency
- Gold Corporate Sponsors: Teradata Corporation, ThoughtWorks
- Silver Corporate Sponsors: Adobe Systems, American Express, Aruba Networks, AT&T, Barclays, BlackRock, Bloomberg LP, Box, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Dropbox, EMC2, Expedia Inc., Factset, GE, Goldman Sachs & Co., LAB126, LinkedIn, MasterCard Worldwide, Morgan Stanley, Neustar, Northrop Grumman, Palantir Technologies, PayPal, Qualcomm, Raytheon, Rosetta Stone Ltd, RMS, salesforce.com, Square, State Farm, Symantec, Twitter, USAA, U.S. Navy, VMware, Xerox, Yahoo!
University Representatives
- Gold Academic Sponsors: ATLAS Institute Univ. of Colorado, Carnegie Mellon University INI, Dartmouth College Computer Science Dept., Georgia Tech College of Computing, Harvey Mudd College, New York University, Oakland University School of Eng. and Computer Science, Purdue Computer & Information Technology, Texas A&M University, UC San Diego CSE/UC Irvine ICS/Calit2, University of Maryland Baltimore County, USC Viterbi School of Engineering, Virginia Tech.
The annual four-day event will feature over 400 speakers from academia, industry and government. Key technical areas that will be discussed are social collaboration in computing, the emerging trend of big data, and computer security. The event includes an Open Source Day and Code-a-thon for Humanity, a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Systers, the largest global online community for technical women, and a multi-day career fair consisting of over 110 companies promoting open computer science and engineering positions at all levels. 320 scholarships were awarded to college undergraduates, graduate and post doctoral students to attend this year's event underwritten by ABI, corporate sponsors, and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
One award presenter, Microsoft, a platinum sponsor, will have 165 attendees, including executives, researchers and Microsoft developers who are presenting, speaking, and awarding scholarships. "There are great opportunities for women in computer science and technology and they are growing every year," said Rane Johnson-Stempson, Director at Microsoft Research (MSR). She continued, "As an avid evangelist for women in technology, we need to continue to educate, support and mentor women already in, or about to enter the workplace, about career opportunities in today's dynamic technology workforce."
CA Technologies, another platinum event sponsor and leader in IT management solutions, will also send a large contingent of executives participating on various panels addressing women in technology issues including workplace diversity, cyber security and local economics.
According to Romea Smith, CA Technologies' Senior Vice President of Support, today's workplace not only values, but also embraces, diversity especially within STEM-specific employment opportunities. "The technology industry has always advocated diversity with the goal of attracting smart and creative people who are determined to advance technical innovation," noted Smith. "The industry welcomes the best minds, regardless of the demographics, and women who seek technical positions today have incredible access to training, job searching tools and opportunities that continue to increase in number and importance."
Co-founded by Dr. Anita Borg and Dr. Telle Whitney in 1994 and inspired by the legacy of Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) of Women in Computing is a conference designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. Presenters are leaders in their respective fields, representing industrial, academic and government communities. Leading researchers present their current work, while special sessions focus on the role of women in today's technology fields, including computer science, information technology, research and engineering.
About The Anita Borg Institute (ABI)

The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.
