Both are beautiful Maria. I hope the Parish get lots of money from these two gorgeous rugs. I'm sure the winner (and buyer) will be thrilled. It must have taken you ages to knit them - makes me feel hopeless as I've been crocheting a rug (on and off) for about 2 years, maybe more !!! xox

Dear Maria. I am so impressed with these beautiful throws. Anyone winning or buying these throws is a very lucky person. Just the thing for these cold mornings in Brisbane.
I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front too but I read all of your posts with great interest.
Best wishes. Jean.

A couple of people I know are leaving town this week. Sure, I'll miss them. But I'm well used to the feeling.
Like most of us who have been here a while, I learned that people come and go in Arizona all the time. This was especially true during the big growth years.
During the last decade some experts were quoted as saying that for every 100 people who moved here, between 60 and 70 would eventually move out.
I know two of them.
Jacqueline Pittel has a marketing and sales job with a big firm waiting for her near San Francisco, where she'll start on Monday.
Bobby Boos was to have gathered with friends in Tempe one last time Saturday before leaving the Valley, his home for more than 30 years, for, as he put it in an email message to his friends, "destinations unknown." Well, not exactly.
Jacqui had worked in advertising in Phoenix since graduating from the University of Arizona in 2004. When the small local branch of her national agency closed this spring, resulting in Jacqui and everyone else working there getting laid off, she started looking to peddle the fresh master's of business administration degree she just received last month.
She told me that as much as she loves it here, where she grew up and has family, the job in northern California, where she also has relatives, was too good to pass up. There just wasn't anything around here that came close, she said.
Bobby had worked several years ago at the Tribune, then at that big newspaper in Phoenix, then was laid off along with so many journalists caught in the throes of the financial crisis of 2008-09.
Meanwhile he taught journalism part-time at Arizona State University, as I do. We shared an office, where I remember him spending a lot of time in 2009 on a computer looking for work.
He got another job with a local non-profit, but after several months was laid off there as well last September and could only get freelance work since.
And so, I wasn't surprised to read his email message last week telling us that he made the decision to pack up.
He's choosing to go, too. Despite the "unknown" part of his email message, when I talked to Bobby on the phone Friday he said he had a job waiting for him in Minneapolis working as an associate editor on the website of Minnesota Public Radio.
He said he still had to find a place to stay, but was looking forward to being back in a room full of colleagues after a couple of years out.
"I had no shortage of job interviews," he said of his Valley job hunt, "but I guess I just wasn't the right fit as other applicants. Once I looked beyond my state I found a lot more positions and job interests that were a better fit."
Yes, people move in and out of here much more than most places. The influx has often brought some very talented people here willing to make a fresh start and apply what they know to a much less restrictive environment than what they might have known elsewhere.
And yes, when those who left did, as they certainly had over the years, they took what talents they had with them.
But then most people moved on because they wanted to and because they had places to go that they would rather be.
The news is filled with statistics. We pay closer attention to certain ones: Gas prices because they come flying at us in two-foot-high letters, and unemployment rates, because they tell our gut feelings whether the economy is really getting any better.
A couple of people I know are leaving town this week. They are officially withdrawing from Arizona's unemployment statistics.
I'll miss them. Arizona will miss them, too.
Jacqui said she might be back someday. Bobby, who also has immediate family here, was more definite about it.
"I'll be back," Bobby said. "I'm leaving Arizona but I'll be back."

Lightbox and jscroller problem
Hi Guys,
I've been making a 'quick' portfolio site and have decided to use some javascript.
Two issues I'm having is:
When I use lightbox and click to view the larger image and close it, the page scrolls to the top - this must be because I'm using jscroller as well but I can't see why as the mark up seems ok.
The second issue is with jscroller. I have "Next" and "Prev" links next to images as shortcuts. This works fine until the 2nd last image when clicking "Next" the page goes up instead of down and again, I'm sure the mark up is correct. When I went to my parents house at the weekend it worked find there, maybe its resolution related?
Would someone be able to have a look at this with me? I don't want to paste the link to the site just yet if I can help it but if someone would be kind enough to help I can private message the link if that's OK?
Thanks in advance peeps I really hope someone can help!

Right the sites a bit more tidy now so I'll post the link!
The issues I'm having is
1. When you click on "Next" on hhe "Mountain Biking Scotland" image the page should scroll down to the next image but it scrolls up!
2. When you click "View larger image" the lightbox works but when you close the image the page scrolls up to the top.
The site isn't finished and isn't bug tested but should display fine in Firefox and also reasonable in Internet Explorer / Safari but the mark up should be clean!
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Yes, also for the dude saying proof pics.... ill work on it. She has multiple storage units for her art collection and she stumbled across the board yesterday. Not sure how often she visits the storage units but ill request that on her next visit she snap a pic of the deck.Found out the most random thing of my life tonight. Right now im back home visiting my parents. Tonight my mom was on the phone with her oldest sister who is in her 60's. My aunt is really into art and collects some really expensive artwork. My mom get off the phone and she just casually says how my aunt wanted to tell me she found a skateboard she forgot she purchased years ago in the back of her storage. My mom says "yeah she said it says supreme on it im not sure if its that brand you wear or it might not have any relation to that." To make a long story short my aunt is a fan of Jeff Koons and randomly has a Supreme x Jeff Koons deck from 06. Its worth like $1500.the one with 3 monkeys ?

True to his name, Trevor Holden (Gorski) is having trouble letting go. A frustrated answering-service drone who blows off steam by screaming his lungs out in L.A. car washes, Trevor can't manage to cut the emotional cord that ties him to his boyfriend, Darrell (Christopher Wyllie), even after Darrell's heroin habit once again leaves him near death in the county hospital. Darrell is now on methadone and in a 12-step program, and he swears this time is going to be different. Trevor believes him, but his cynical best friend, Jake (Jay Brannan) -- a sexually promiscuous singer-songwriter who can't remember the names of any of his "dates" -- doesn't, and urges Trevor to drop Darrell and move on. Although he can't seem to pull himself away -- Darrell is after all, the first guy he ever slept with -- Trevor finally agrees to let Jake drag him to a party where Trevor meets Ephram (Eli Kranski), a good looking doctor. Eprham reminds Trevor that they've actually met before: Ephram was the attending resident at the hospital when Darrell was admitted. The two hit it off, begin dating and soon call each other "boyfriend," though Ephram suspects Trevor hasn't yet gotten over Darrell and their tortured relationship.
There's a lot of off-hand dialogue that goes nowhere and though the film is ostensibly about Trevor, the only interesting thing that really happens happens to the one character who gets shortest shrift. Melissa Searing, who plays Trevor's roommate, however, is a real find: She brings a salty edge and poignant anger to the kind of character that could too easily written of as yet another "fag hag." And although Brannan has a fine, clear singing voice, his bitchy, Valley Girl inflected Jake -- "Oh my god, I'm so fat." "Oh my God, I'm so grossed out right now." -- is one cliche we could all really do without. leave a comment --Ken Fox

I had sent a batch of poems to the magazine 6 X 6, published by Ugly Ducking Presse in Brooklyn.

 Yesterday that batch of poems got rejected again. This is what the editors said this time:

Thank you for your recent submission. We truly enjoyed reading your work. Unfortunately, we didn't find it to be a good fit for 6 X 6. We wish you the best with your future writing.

 I included a SASE, but asked them to recycle the manuscript rather than return it. I'm guessing whoever was in charge of throwing stuff out either forgot to or was reluctant to. When it came time to review poems for a new issue my poems were still lying around and got included in the considerations. Since there was no SASE the editors spent their own money on a stamp and envelope to send me the bad news. Nice of them, eh?

 In the first rejection they "really enjoyed … some truly amazing moments." This rejection they "truly enjoyed [the] reading." Considering the silence that's the usual response even to published work, I got a pretty good deal. Two letters claiming to have gotten pleasure from my poems.

No admission fee.

 The Whitman-Stein Poetry Fest was founded by Ron Alexander and happens each spring in Santa Barbara. Sunday's Whitman-Stein is a reunion of Bay Area poets who have read down south.

 Ron Alexander created the event to bring poetry to the contemporary LGBT community so named it after two famous American poets, one gay and one lesbian. We're here already, we've been queer a long time, get with it.

 To help connect us to our history, poets & listeners alike, Ron asked the poets to read at least one poem by an older gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual poet before reading their own poems. When I read in Santa Barbara in the spring I read a poem by my mentor the pioneering gay publisher, Paul Mariah. I will be reading the same poem in San Francisco.

 The other poets:

 Nixson Borah (Atascadero) reads Robert Peters

 Giovanna Capone (Oakland) reads Pamela Sneed

 Marc Hofstadter (Walnut Creek) reads James Schuyler

 Tobey Kaplan (Oakland) reads Djuna Barnes

 Kit Kennedy (San Francisco) reads Sappho

 Jan Steckel (Oakland) reads Gabriela Mistral

I'm in flip-flops. Just finished a tuna sandwich here at Bel Forno, where I'm using the wifi, a few sips to go on my mocha.

 I wrote in my diary. I have some books to read, will probably get thru a few pages.

 Browsing accommodations on Oahu as Kent & I are thinking of visiting his nephew who has a boat there. Randall and his biz partner are running scuba and snorkel trips under the name Hawaiian Diving Adventures. I've never worn a scuba mask and I'd like to give it a go.

 K & I prefer a walk in the woods to a walk in the mall and Waikiki, as a seething mass of bodies, does not appeal, so we've never thought much of Honolulu as a destination. But the more I read about the island the more it seems a lot of it is rural. Plus it's not big. From one end of the island to the other travel takes about an hour, according to Google maps.

 I'd be fine with a day at museums. Glenn Ingersollhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011534.post-72713606652695735822013-01-28T20:56:00.000-08:002014-10-12T16:41:26.283-07:00FACT, a book of poems by Glenn Ingersoll

FACT

 50 short poem poems

 by Glenn Ingersoll

 The poems are philosophical, humorous, and often conscious of themselves. The book is small enough to slip into a pocket, handy for those moments stolen for contemplation or distraction.

 sample poem:

 I am trying to think up
a good poem. I would like it to be good
to make up for all the offenses
of bad poems. Though I suspect that's
too much to demand from my simple skills.
Even a really good poem would be able to atone
for little of the intolerance, torture, and warfare
conducted in the name of poetry.

 poems from Fact have appeared in Exquisite Corpse, Lilliput Review, Shampoo, Fish Drum, and Fish Dance, and other places.

 Go to Alba for four Fact poems.
Go to Shampoo for seven Fact poems.

 You can read Steve Masover's response to Fact at his One Finger Typing.

 Jim McCrary says, "Glenn Ingersoll is a big poet. It is always good to see what he has to say." Read more at Galatea Resurrects.

 As well as a review, the poet Jim Murdoch conducted an interview with me on his blog, The Truth About Lies. Roughly summing up, Jim says, "As a body of work [Fact is] thought-provoking and deals with many aspects of the nature of poetry." In the interview Jim asked about the title; I responded: "The poems did not to think of themselves as fiction." Check out the post.

 The poet Jan Steckel created a Fact page at Goodreads.com. Jan says, "I loved this little chapbook ... My husband and I cracked up reading its little masterpieces to each other."

Take pleasure in mystery. Live in it undispelled. Ignorance as sensuous experience. Your mind may thwart your intentions and present a meaning on a platter. That is its nightly habit.

Understanding is overrated. Have you ever watched a foreign film without subtitles? Or read a modern poem? If it really doesn't matter whether you understand you can appreciate other things. The music in language, say. Birds sing in the trees and we're told they do it to attract a mate. Is that everything? It's a lot, sure; everybody knows that who doesn't have a date for Saturday night.

It's Romney's to Lose: Here's How He Does It
Many of Ron Paul's supporters are currently abuzz with a letter that was written by Jennifer Sheehan, the RNC's legal council in 2008, which appears to state that no state delegate to the GOP convention is bound by his state to vote for a particular candidate. The excitement derives from the fact that if it were true, an outright Romney victory in the first round of voting at the convention in Tampa would be rather unlikely. But if it is not true - and I am sure the GOP will change rules if necessary to make it untrue - there may be just as much excitement to be had in the possibility of something that is rather more in the control of Paul's supporters.
It's the big "What if?" question that the letter begs but that few have asked.
What if Paul's supporters just ignore the binding rules and vote their consciences? What if, in Tampa, all those Paul supporters who are bound by state rules to vote for Romney put the ball firmly back in the GOP's court, and say, "Your move"?
One's first reaction might be to point out that if that were possible, it would have happened before.
But that would be a mistake. The GOP is now in uncharted territory.
Romney's support has proven so shallow and Paul's so deep that, all over the country, at GOP meetings in which delegates are selected to represent a county at the state convention or a state at the national convention, there are too many Paulites in the room to allow pro-Romney party officials to get their favored slates pushed through without underhanded shenanigans. This is having important effects. The most immediately important of these is that, in states where delegates are bound to vote for the candidate who won the state's primary vote (often Romney), the delegates who care enough to actually participate in the process are Paul supporters, and they are selecting Paul-favoring delegates. For example, whereas of the 28 delegates that Nevada will be sending to Tampa, eight are bound to Paul and 20 are bound to Romney, 14 of Romney's 20 are really Ron Paul supporters who'd only be voting for Romney because they are "bound" to. And in Colorado, where 14 delegates are bound to Romney, and only two to Paul, what the official numbers don't say is that the 16 uncommitted are probably all Paul supporters.
So if the Paul supporters were not bound, they may indeed have the numbers, and therefore the means, to stop Romney in the first round of voting. But would they have the chutzpah to unbind themselves - and a reasonable expectation that if they caused such creative chaos, the outcome could be favorable? I think they do - courtesy of the GOP, itself.
Romney's Achilles' heel is a moral one. It is the sum of all of the cheating that has been done in his favor by the party. For example...
In Oklahoma, party officials pulled out a ballroom divider to cordon off Ron Paul supporters and shut them out of participation. Later they turned out the lights. Voice votes that were clearly lost were declared won.
In Alaska, party officials defeated the majority by retaining the committee which "interpreted rules" and later, after taking the delegation, reluctantly gave up the party control to the new majority but transferred all of the money out of the Republican Party accounts.
In Virginia, at a District Convention, officials coaxed the Ron Paul delegation outside and then locked the door. The pastor of the church that was hosting the event was, himself, locked outside.
In Missouri, officials had all the delegates sign up at County Conventions and then had their County Chairman take the rolls outside and lock them in their car trunks so they could block roll call voting and have their chairman declare lost voice votes as won.
And so on, and so on.
The full list, of which the above is a tiny part, not only provides a moral justification for Paul's people to refuse to play ball at the convention: more importantly, it explains why such hardball could actually work. After all, which fair-minded American wouldn't like to see powerful partisans punished for their arrogance? Which Democrat or Independent or even average American who doesn't care much for politics but feels seriously let down by a political elite who act out of a sense of entitlement rather than a sense of service - which of them wouldn't think the Paul people were doing no more than giving as good as they had gotten... especially when the nation is reminded that the GOP wasn't bound by its own rules when it chose to provide material support to Romney while the race was still ongoing.
Imagine it. At last, their rEVOLution would have to be televised, and what good TV it would be - the very stuff that cable infotainment is made of.
When a reporter from CNN interviews a delegate from Nevada with faintly disapproving confusion, the delegate might say, "We wish we didn't have to do it, but at the state convention in 2008, the party officers turned out the lights and left in the middle of the meeting just so our vote for Ron Paul wouldn't be counted. So we think it's payback time"
And when that airs, I don't think many Americans would disagree with him. Yet, plenty would think that in a small way, the Paulbots had just landed a punch on behalf of a nation that has wondered for too long how to get through to that special elite that long ago forgot who works for whom.
What could the GOP do about it?
If it were to disqualify all those self-unbinding delegates, the fracture - and more importantly, the story that it told - would be huge. The Democrats would eat it up and the GOP would have just told 20% of its own base that they are not wanted. Even if Romney could still win the nomination, the GOP would have just lost the election.
So the better course would be for the GOP to count Paul's delegates' votes, and Romney would be unlikely to win on the first round. His mantle as the one who could obviously beat Obama would be tarnished if he couldn't clearly beat his one Republican rival. Not only the liberty Republicans, but also the social Conservatives who never really trusted Romney anyway, would be in a position to choose a candidate they really cared for in the subsequent rounds.
And that's when the narrative would really change.
Everyone knows that in a second ballot, Romney's vote would fall, making him less credible, and (here's the safest bet in American politics) Paul's rises, making him the most exciting ticket in town.
Once the inevitability of Romney's nomination disappears, everyone will be free to admit that it was only the illusion of inevitability that made him look like, well, the inevitable nominee in the first place.
If the Mormon halo flickers, that very human capacity that has so far served Romney so well - the post hoc justification of something believed to be in one's self-interest - would swing, in short order, in Paul's favor. People get very excited about an underdog who can win - especially if he is an underdog that was kept down by nefarious means.
Is this possibility or fantasy? At the time of writing, the official bound state delegate counts out of the few states that have already held their state conventions are 33 for Paul and 73 for Romney, but the number of delegates from these states that are known to favor Paul and Romney are 65 and 59, respectively. All other delegate numbers are at this point projections or speculation.
Those who look at the mountain that Ron Paul has to climb and wonder, "How?" might find their answer by looking at the mountain that Romney has to tumble down, and asking the very same question.

There are no ex-Paul supporters!
Once some one finds the truth they never look back, they realize what they once believed was a lie.
There maybe a few that would say other wise, but I would say to them, they never really checked out what Paul was about anyway.
So if any of the Romney delegate start to question what is going on, and do a little research on Paul VS Romney. We may have stealth delegates that we won't know about until the vote actually happens.
I am a good example of a hard core Republican, I didn't care who was on the other side. I would vote the straight R ticket. So if I can come around so can others.

I second everything you said!
I too was a straight ticket R without even knowing many of whom I voted for. Once you KNOW the truth it is planted and no one can remove it. More people than we know see it too. I am finding that they just want to leave the rose-colored glasses on because the truth is too painful for them to intellectually accept, but they do know inside that it's going to fall quick if nothing is done.
Romney gets beat at his own game
I love it, the Dr. was blatantly disrespected, and now do you notice all Romney's supporters are trying even harder to convince us that Ron Paul is unelectable. I taste a different tea brewing folks. I can taste the sound of the shackles being broken. I am so happy everytime the RNC does something that backfires I do the happy dance. I was ecstatic when I saw it on Reality Check with Ben Swann. He said all the delegates are unbound and I smiled. We know that Romneys support is based on the presumption the RNC made. But them breaking their own rules, has allowed the supporters to beat their camp at their own game. I think it is hilarious, and there is one thing I am visioning with such a sadistic smile. Want to know what that is? Picture 80+million viewers at home, all the people that will break their bank to attend the Presidential debate, and Ron Paul stands to debate Barack Obama. Do you know what will happen? Exactly Obama will be caught with his pants down, because there is no amount of debate prepping that can prepare Obama for a debate with Ron Paul. Bye Bye Barack Obama. I am so excited and I have been spreading it like wild fire that Ron Pauls supporters do not have to vote for Romney, not even in the first round. They can vote their conscience. They are more than happy. Some relieved, and others like really.... With the interesting tone. This is going to be the election and the year of the Next American Revolution, and here is the best part about it, there won't be a single shot fired. GO RON PAUL2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How will the votes be COUNTED in Tampa?
You have to realize that if Romney's backers even suspect this might happen, they will conspire to take measures to render it impossible. For this to succeed, you would have to have countermeasures in place to circumvent those measures, and in fact layer after layer of countermeasures after that to take into account all the tricks they might try to pull. From what I hear a good start would be to study how Pat Buchanan's 200 delegates were 'managed' into silence and irrelevance at the 1996 RNC.
Obedience to God is resistance to tyrants.
they should have to stand up in front of national TV and be
counted....by our people and their people....so no secret ballots, no machines, no paper stuff...real people with counts

America doesn't deserve a man
America doesn't deserve a man like Ron Paul in the White House.Few seemed to pay attention to all the warnings given by our founders or from Ron Paul for the last twenty years.judge Andrew P.Napolitano had it right in his book, A NATION of SHEEP when he described America. Most Americans don't seem to know the difference between a statesman and a politician. The majority of Americans asked for Obama and they got him weather through ignorance,indifference or because of his race. Now, millions are hoping Flip-flop Mitt Romney will save them from Obama's destructive policies.The same Obama they thought would rescue them.From what,i have no idea! G.Edward Griffin said,in his book,The Creature from Jekyll Island,"If America is to survive as a free nation,her citizens must become far more politically educated than they are at present." "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization,it expects what never was and never will be, if we are to guard against ignorance and remain free,it is the responsibility of every citizen to be informed." Thomas Jefferson. One thing that can never be said was Ron Paul bowed down to Wall St. or supported the illegal Iraq war as millions of Americans did.
Bob Marshall
Dr. Ron Paul is winning, Romney and Obama should just drop out.
Remain calm and confident
I absolutely agree. But this
I absolutely agree. But this must be done with a confidence and composer. Respect nonetheless. If we are right, and we are, we have no reason to lose our cool. Bleive me when I say, the establihsment will be throwing a tantrum.
There is a strategy at foot....
Robin, this is sound logic.
These are in fact the real numbers and the real situation.
1. Media says, "Romney wins 'another' state primary!" "Romney wins by a landslide!" Media says, "Mitt's base is the over-50 crowd. The real movers of this country." Media says, "It's the write-in vote of the elderly that is leading the way for Romney!"
2. Media says, "Paul's supporters don't translate into votes." Media says, "Paul's support base is too young, not registered, or 'pot smokers who are too lazy'"
1. Dr. Paul's supporters show up in thousands at rallies. Mitt's show up in hundreds.
2. Dr. Paul's supposed "uninterested, lazy, and too young" supporters are taking over the state conventions by mass.
The same media that says Mitt's crowd is the retirement block, over-50 group who can't show up to support his rallies are the same people who "showed up" to support his popular vote in the primary?
The same media who says Paul's support base doesn't translate into votes are showing up en-mass at the state conventions and taking over!
Exit polls by the media in the primaries were stacked with Romney-heavy interest at the front of the line. Those exiting the polling location were then interviewed by news crews who happily reported Romney winning by large percentages, thus justifying their predition of a Romney win.
Paul's support is indeed huge... way larger than he even realizes.
We've come up against the establishment, face to face.
The establishment doesn't care for Romney either. They only care about protecting their own interests. Romney supports their interests.
Peace is bad for business. "If it bleeds, it leads" is the media's motto. War, suffering, crime, violence, and human atrocities are what sell. Advertisers pay big money to be televised with the biggest stories. Ron Paul is bad for business. What will they report on? What happens when America quits watching TV because there's nothing "interesting" on?
So they create havoc...because havoc sells.
It's not Paul against Romney any longer. It's moved way beyond. It's the people versus the system. Paul or no Paul, we have to beat the system. We must beat the system. It only takes a few men/women with pick-axes to carve through a mountain. It only takes a few men/women with a few logs to span an impassable chasm.
Freedom is obtained by the few, but is enjoyed by everyone who crosses the bridge.
Whenever there is a yoke of oppression on a generation, someone will always rise up to destroy it.
over 50's crowd
I am over 50 and i know several other people that are over 50 and we all support Ron Paul.
Your too kind and conservative
1. Dr. Paul's supporters show up in thousands at rallies. Absolutely true.
Mitt's show up in the hundreds should read Mitt's show up in the dozens.
yup. "Paul's support is
"Paul's support is indeed huge... way larger than he even realizes."
^ this hits the nail on the head.
Unlike what some are saying
this is the only way to bring about change. I read a comment recently on this site that stated that one cannot challenge the ruling faction of the GOP directly, that it must be done by stealth. This is patently absurd, as Mr. Koerner's comments reveal. In fact, the ONLY way to challenge these people is to be completely in their face, and the public's face so that everything is aired out in the open.
These people thrive in secrecy. They don't want people to know that they aren't being presented with legitimate choices, that every candidate is really espousing the same basic policies and that there will be absolutely nothing of substance different from the last person who was elected.
So, it is only when they are directly challenged that it becomes glaringly obvious that they don't play fair, that they don't want to give people a choice and that they will do anything in their power to keep the ruling faction ruling. Seeing this process, seeing those in power cheat and lie (like some petty 10 year old bully) to stay in power is precisely what will galvanize people to sweep out the sewage choking the country to death.
Lew not so optimistic.
Not Unoptimistic Either
They point of the LR article is that you can't play your hand early. But it does not mean that the RP delegates shouldn't vote their conscience on the first round. That will be televised. If suddenly everyone who votes RP on the first round is summarily arrested or thrown out of the convention then at least there won't be any denying that the US is a police state. What happens after that is anyone's guess.
So the memo is to "behave"
So the memo is to "behave" ourselves? We've BEEN behaving ourselves. It's the establishment who are breaking their own rules and disrespecting us! Not the other way around.
"It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from his government." - Thomas Paine
That's the attitude!
This bold talk is a million times better than Benton's defeatist attitude. The gloves must come off... or mittens, should I say.
I whole heartedly agree with
I whole heartedly agree with this article. Due to vote flipping, vote theft, corruption at all levels in those who support Romney, and his own corruption, it's time to take the gloves off.
As for delegates who support Ron Paul, but who might be fearful of losing possible future GOP perks, and so would not vote conscience, those can't possibly be real Ron Paul supporters.
This is about electing Ron Paul as President. Whatever it takes is what must be done.
IMO, all Ron Paul supporting delegates should vote for him the first round. Let's win this thing the first round, straight up. There isn't enough time at the convention to challenge every delegate who voted conscience instead of Romney. And besides, at that point, Ron Paul wins. Period.
There is no guarantee of a second round. Take it on the first round, and run!
RON PAUL 2012 * Restore America * Bring The Troops Home
Absolutely Correct
Don't play by the rules. The way the GOP rulers are acting, there apparently aren't any rules anyway.
no such thing as bound
a nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat
Great blog loved it
This has got me thinking a bit.
What if we are suppose to win all along? What if this can be the answer of the RNC to get Obama to use most of his $160 million campaign funds to battle Romney that is not the nominee after all..
Just a thought....
Very interesting theory, the only problem I have with it is if this has been the strategy all along, then why try to piss us off and alienate us so badly. No the GOP may as well be the DNC for all their fanfare, they are just screwing up badly. Someone stated that the MSM has a hard time covering Dr Paul because it's not a campaign, but a movement. Well I guess the GOP is faced with a similat predicament, in the past when they pulled these tactics folks probably just backed off, and went with the flow. They are learning now that Revolution is a bitch to deal with when your on the establishment side, I'll bet the British were very confused, and tried every dirty trick in the book the first time it happened too. at this point my new motto has become RON PAUL 2012, or the end of the US government! IMO the only viable options we have left.
Mike G.
I applaud you Robin. You've added an overwhelming amount of hope to the discussion.
What does it matter wether Benton is clever as a fox or a committed a poor error in judgement? Whether true or not this is still a great way to move forward in thinking.
1) Can we get a majority of delegates?
I would love a good comprehensive analysis (yet to find one) that contains details including, MSM reported delegates, state party rules bound delegates, publicly stated preference counts, and presumed allegiances based on delegation based voting/trading/etc. If this thing comes back that shows within the margin of unknown delegates trending towards Paul in the last named column then we are in a really good spot. Info graphic would be icing on the cake. Then again would sharing of this info virally/MSM hurt the surprise factor? Either way would the other camp knows this already or not?
2) If we have a majority of delegates bound or otherwise can we win the nomination?
Good arguments in this article and others say we could win. There is a good argument IMO that one of the best things we can do to reduce the risk of getting derailed is to play nice and make it difficult to go against their own rules or paint us as not following the rules.
Are either of these two conjectures affected by wether or not Benton blew it in his strategy or is a clever genius?
1. there is no such thin as bound in Tampa
2. A "WIN" is not likely, proof here: http://www.dailypaul.com/233859/for-the-real-ron-paul-suppor...
a nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat
Romney's Mormon so what?
What the heck does Romney being Mormon and you using, "Mormon halo flickers", has anything to do with this story? I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I voted for Ron Paul! If you want to get into a religious debate that's fine but it should be somewhere else. I don't think this is the place for it. I am here to support Ron Paul and keep up with news concerning him.
This shouldn't be about religion
separation of church and state, remember? You are right, religion should be discussed elsewhere. This is not the forum for it.
Defending Mormonism
Whether you are a Mormon, or support their religion, you have to recognize that it is a contentious subject that will hurt Romney if he is nominated.
I don't think it is hard to imagine that, probably for months, we will see constant postings and network news editorials, airings of South Park's "This is What They Really Believe!" clips, and everything BUT the discussion of real ISSUES!
Only one person in all of congress claims atheism. They all lie! (for votes) They sure as hell don't act like they believe in a God! But it's important to voters- religion. Watch what an issue it becomes!
The religious vote
The religious vote isn't a problem for Romney to secure. Contrary to what the the different media outlets like to say.
I agree most politicians lie and Romney is't free from criticism. Considering his flip flops on many different issues. I use that as a tool then trying to get members of my faith to take a second look at Ron Paul.
Exactly right! I took the comment as meaning
Romney seems to some that he would be a trustworthy president (where I am, the stereotype is that Mormons are very moral people) because of his faith. Maybe that's not how it was meant, and I understand your comment completely. This is why I feel like we should leave out some statements with the appearance of prejudice ("the white Obama" and references to Jews and Zionism come to mind.) While some of these things may be true, all they serve to do is divide the ranks and give us a bad name. The fight is still on and in full strength, but Benton was right about one thing: we should have a certain level of decorum.
That's what I'm talking about.
Screw the party and screw their rules. What are they seriously going to do? Ban people for life? If I'm not mistaken, by enlarge, the states that Dr. Paul is cleaning house in are also electing Paul supporters to prominent leadership positions or are actually controlling the state party. Good luck enforcing the ban. The same for any fines although I can't see how they could. Or what, unseat them proving to the media that Romney can't control his own delegation? Which brings me to another point, we are forgetting the role the media would play in this. While they treat Dr. Paul like a leper, the convention will be under the microscope of every liberal media outlet, itching for any chance to skewer Romney and the GOP. Do not give an inch delegates, do not back down. The Dr. and Benton already did their CYA with the media, giving concessions and all. It is now bigger than them. Vote your conscience. To hell with a party that screws us and the nation we are trying to save.
Great article
Something to think about, especially since the Revolution will be televised (in Tampa).
Since the GOP is so keen on breaking "their" own rules, and disenfranchised "selected" individuals at the State level, the bound delegates should "unbind" themselves and VOTE their conscience.
Elf the GOP's rules in Tampa.
This is why it's called a REVOLUTION.
The reason there has been so
The reason there has been so much angst for the past couple of days is that we began doubting our own power and momentarily forgot our very justificable anger. Thanks, Robin, for getting us back on track.
Nice real nice..
Lets BUMP this puppy for the DR. RON PAUL R3VOLUTION!!
Cannabis Hemp Oil CURES DISEASE
The answer is
Instead of bound to Romney delegates voting for Ron Paul instead. Abstain the first round vote. Anotherwards do not vote for Romney in the first round. Then all would be able to vote their concience in the second round.
I am not so sure. The GOP
I am not so sure.
The GOP deserves a few low bows. Throwing their own rules in their face is justifiable at this point IMO.
The GOP can't expect their opposition to play by their rules while they at the same time disregard those same rules so openly and unashamedly.
Who do these people think they are? More importantly, who do they think we are? Idiots?
I say, if you are a Paul supporting national delegate that is bound ( I thought we already dismissed that notion, anyway) to Romney, forget the biased rules conceived by the corrupt establishment leaders. Vote your heart immediately. After all, this is a revolution isn't it?
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." Benjamin Franklin
Better than them
But if we can have the same effect by playing by the rules, it make us better than them, and no one can contest the results. And then coming out of a contest this way, we have an even better chance against Obama.
And RP can keep his untarnished record going for the presidency.
It is better to look dumb and not be, than to look smart and not be.
Yes, IF. That's just the
Yes, IF. That's just the point. IF we can. If we can't, then what. Go home and say ah shucks we lost but at least we did it by THEIR rules.
Fact is, it is already being reported that there are "stealth" delegates in the Romney camp.
As far as measuring up in terms of integrity against Obama, Ron Paul would have to try very hard to stoop to his level.
Besides, the legal counsel to the RNC has already okayed the move, so what is there to feel guilty about?
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." Benjamin Franklin
Thought I Love Mitt Romney...
Who is Mitt Romney; should we vote for Mitt Romney? Mitt Romney is not a moral man.
I find little dignity in a man who destroys the lives of others for financial gain, which is the history of Mr. Romney's wealth; among men whom scheme for ways to undermine the spirit of a law, to say, "I did it legally," he destroyed for gain.
"How Mitt Romney Got Obscenely Rich?" 720p, less than 3 min.
"When Romney Came to Town" 480p; do not miss this.
"Mitt Romney comes from a faith tradition that holds our Constitution sacred," said Ms. Sydney Hay, Dr. Paul spokeswoman at Arizona convention, which is true.
However, Mr. Romney cares little to nothing about our Constitution or laws, and do not you be fooled by her false implications of whom Mitt Romney is.
Mitt Romney: "We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts. I support them." Video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzYTdM9b5F4
Massachusetts under Mitt Romney and Massachusetts now:
• Ownership: restricted
• Self-defense: no Castle Doctrine
• Open carry: prohibited
• Concealed carry: prohibited
• Vehicle carry handguns: prohibited
• Vehicle carry long guns: unloaded, cased and stored away
Who deserves the right to protect him or herself from predators? Under Mitt Romney, not you!
Clearly, we can win. And, Mr. Burton's comment, though contemporarily practical, is a lesson in defeatism: "Unfortunately, barring something very unforeseen, our delegate total will not be strong enough to win the nomination."
If God is on our side—knowing God is on the side of goodness—and, if the time is right, then we will gain the nomination.
All RNC delegates are free to vote their conscience. See video: http://www.fox19.com/story/18305604/reality-check-why-all-rn...
Someone mentioned David and Goliath on Doug Wead's blog, and here is our heart, mind, soul, and strength of this campaign.
Dr. Paul is representative of a perfect opportunity to get behind a candidate who would change this country, moving it back on course, setting sail with freedom and justice windward.
We must keep our resolve:
This will make you cry with joyful hope:

One the one hand, I'd like to
One the one hand, I'd like to see Dr. Paul come out of the convention as the nominee. On the other hand, you are suggesting disenfranchising millions of voters who did not choose Dr. Paul. I doubt you would feel the same way if the strategy was used against us instead of to help Dr. Paul. It's never good to set a precedent you wouldn't want to come back against you.
Disenfranchised? You make a huge assumption!
You assume the voting has been legal and not ridden throughout with fraud!
Why is it that in states with both machine and hand counts does Paul usually win ONLY the hand counts? (or at least do MUCH better)
Does anyone remember the ONE precinct that was counted in Nevada LIVE? Wolf Blitzer hosting, on Fox LIVE? Paul got 58%. Statewide he only received 18% !?! Who will feel disenfranchised there? It should be Paul voters... The Romney voters? I don't see it! They may be the ones who'll complain but because they were lied to--made to believe they had actually won the meaningless popular vote! And why IS it meaningless? Because you can cheat it, STEAL it! You can't steal delegates (well, not easily- they certainly have been trying!) This is why Paul went for delegates. They are PEOPLE, with VOICES! They can't steal you so they try to shut you up!
Don't be quieted! Vote your conscience!
thats ok
They have made thier educated decision based upon the lies of the MSM and Clear Channel.
They wont be so upset when the truth comes to light.
a Simple history lesson is in order for those who would complain as to which official have been elected without the public majority.
i've been disenfranchised
for the better part of 40 years. i am the LIVID minority.
i would not lose one bit of sleep.
imagine the discussion FORCED to take place just by Dr. Paul being the nominee. we might actually have "news" again.
"The two weakest arguments for any issue on the House floor are moral and constitutional"

Gigabyte, I don't think
Gigabyte, I don't think they're being disenfranchised. Perhaps disillusioned with how the process really works...
They never showed up to participate in this very REPUBLICAN process of delegate selection. Our elections are not democratic, they're republican based (representatives of the populace select the nominee).

In my role as an Agile Coach, I often encounter dispersed (i.e., virtual) Scrum Teams – where some or all of the Scrum Team members are in different physical locations. Some of these Scrum Teams are dispersed across the USA, across the globe, and some or all of the team members might be working from home. However, I have also encountered Scrum Teams who are in the same physical building, but are dispersed across different floors and … *gasp* … in endless cube farms on the same floor. I see this – a LOT.
Is this a familiar situation for you?
Location, Location, Location
As a passionate Agile practitioner, I teach and coach relentlessly on the business benefits of dedicated team rooms and collocation, but this seemingly simple setup continues to elude many organizations, which limits their pursuit of organizational Agility.
Consider this:
- Where are your Scrum Teams located?
- Is collocation great 'in theory' while dispersed is just how the real world works?
- Do you meet for your Daily Scrum in a corner conference room for a few minutes, then disperse back to your cubes?
If so, then your organization has the symptoms of the Oh-so-Elusive Team Room Syndrome. But fear not! It's a treatable condition … even in large and established company cultures where predictive processes, approvals and red tape are emphasized over flexibility and adaptability. To deal with this syndrome, I offer the following:
- A real situation I encountered, some background and the symptoms
- How the syndrome was treated for this Scrum Team
- Preventive care that every organization should consider
A Scrum Team's Journey Through the "Oh-so-Elusive Team Room Syndrome"
A newly-formed Scrum Team had worked with a Project Manager to book a team room. Great! But the typical big-company room glitches started surfacing: the room was double-booked, so the Scrum Team had to switch rooms several times over the first few weeks of its journey. To secure a dedicated team room, the Scrum Master reached out to a coordinator to help remove the Impediment.
This simple request for a team room had become quite the challenge. The coordinator booked different rooms for each day, sometimes secured the same room for a few days, and occasionally double-booked rooms by accident. The Scrum Team had continued moving from room to room and could not establish any momentum.
What was happening?
- Daily Scrums were over a conference call – even though they were in the same building! The team-room-flavor-of-the-day would often stay completely empty as Scrum Team members stayed in their separate cubes. My first few days as the Agile Coach found me walking through multiple floors of cube farms to seek out and introduce myself to Scrum Team members.
- As you might expect, this Impediment was surfaced in the Scrum Team's Retrospective:
- They swarmed the Impediment and the Scrum Master bravely went forth into the organization to remove it. However, after going through the processes and red tape with the company's facilities management department, their request for a dedicated space was denied. The reason?
"Space is at a premium right now, so we don't have a way to satisfy this request." — Facilities Management
What was the root cause?
- So what was missing here? A dose of Agile Coaching revealed a fundamental lack of leadership support. The true sense of urgency for change had not been established within leadership, so as a result, moving from room to room & working in cube farms was business-as-usual and there was no compelling reason to change that behavior.
- In addition, there had been no meaningful Agile education at the leadership level. In my first coaching session with some of the leaders, they had previously seen Agile as a software development process that could be installed to give them better results, but nothing else would really need to change.
How was it resolved?
- First, a sense of urgency was established. This Scrum Team was formed in order to take advantage of a time-to-market opportunity, and its early velocity suffered because of the lack of continuity. With some preparation, the Scrum Master and Product Owner translated this several-week syndrome into tangible financial impact. This caught some eyes at the leadership level – missed time-to-market opportunity, lost revenue, etc.
- Next, leadership stakeholders called a meeting to better understand what was happening and why they were missing out on a critical business opportunity. When they learned about the Oh-so-Elusive Team Room Syndrome and understood the impact in a way that was meaningful for them, one of the stakeholders made a very simple statement:
"I have an unused area on another floor that we can turn into a team room in a couple of weeks. I'll make a call right now."
Problem solved.
- And before you know it, this Scrum Team had a dedicated space, moved out of their cubes, and some great things started happening … collaboration, momentum, and ultimately creating valuable product early and often.
What can be learned from this?
Preventive Care for Your Own Organization
1. Establish a Compelling Reason to Change
So after weeks of dysfunction, this syndrome was successfully treated in a brief conversation with leadership. Why? One of the top reasons for a failed Agile transformation effort is the lack of leadership support.
To prevent a situation like this from occurring in the first place, organizational leadership must have an urgent opportunity or pain point that requires change – it could be a visible & competitive opportunity, or even the survival of the business could be at stake. Either way, it has to be real and urgent.
2. Form and Educate an Agile Leadership Team
Consider leveraging this urgency to form a focused team at the leadership level. This is an opportunity to educate leaders on Agile values & principles, so they can start to understand what it means to be an Agile leader and how they can support the organization on its journey. If it has urgency, the leadership team will want a regular meeting cadence to stay informed and help – great!
Scrum is very good at exposing organizational Impediments, and some of the tougher ones will require leadership intervention to remove.
3. Influence a Change in Culture
The first two steps are needed to influence a lasting change in culture that promotes the behaviors of organizational Agility, and this takes time – because change is hard.
But as new behaviors start to take hold, situations like the Oh-so-Elusive Team Room Syndrome can be avoided. I'll have more on culture in future blog posts.
This is one case of why Scrum is simple to understand, but difficult to master…

|List of characters
Dennis is the secondary antagonist of the The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
He was the mercenary who was hired by Sheldon J. Plankton to kill SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star. The reason being that Plankton stole King Neptune's crown and tricked Neptune into believing the crime was committed by Eugene H. Krabs, so Neptune threatened to execute Krabs (via burning by fire) unless the crown was retrieved within a period of six days; Plankton, obviously, wanted Krabs to die from a painful and wrongful execution, and upon learning SpongeBob and Patrick's journey to get the crown back, he sends Dennis after them.
SpongeBob and Patrick encounter Dennis for the first time after reaching the end of the Deep Dark Trench. Dennis was about to kill them with his "big" spiky boot, only to be stepped on by the Cyclops' (a scuba diver) "bigger boot". In the climax of the film, SpongeBob and Patrick hitch a ride on the backside of David Hasselhoff, who speedily swims through the ocean in order to send them back to Bikini Bottom. During the middle of their swim, SpongeBob and Patrick see the boot belonging to the same diver who squished Dennis. Dennis then detaches from the boot and onto Hasselhoff, revealing that he is still alive. He tries to kill SpongeBob and Patrick, but fails yet again. He gets knocked off by a boat Hasselhoff swam under, never to be seen again by the viewers. It is unknown what became of him after this, but it was most likely he just fell back into the water or he could have died.
Video games
- Dennis appeared twice and was defeated by pure luck both times. (First he was stepped on by the 'cyclops', then he was hit by a boat)
- SpongeBob and Patrick were most likely the first people to successfully escape Dennis due to the fact that he quickly went insane after being defeated only once.

Food Habits
The diet of G. californianus is omnivorous and varied, a good strategy for survival in the typically harsh environments of the southwest. They eat large insects, scorpions, tarantulas, centipedes, lizards, snakes, and mice. They have even been known to eat rattlesnakes, although this is rare. Greater roadrunners are potential predators of quail, adult sparrows, hummingbirds such as Anna's hummingbird, and the golden-cheeked warbler. Feeding on netted birds has also been reported. They feed on prickly pear cactus where available. When hunting they walk rapidly, scanning for prey, and then dash forward to make the catch. They may also jump into the air to catch passing insects. To kill small creatures such as rodents, greater roadrunners smash the prey's body and head against a rock and then swallow it whole. Often part of the animal is left hanging out of the mouth while it is being digested.
Animal Foods: birds; mammals; reptiles; eggs; insects; terrestrial non-insect arthropods
Plant Foods: wood, bark, or stems
