Skip to comments.Rick Perry, the Democratic years: the politician before he became a conservative Republican
Posted on 07/30/2011 1:04:11 PM PDT by freespirited
Gov. Rick Perry, a no-apologies conservative known for slashing government spending and opposing all tax increases, is about as Republican as you can get.
But that wasnt always the case.
Perry spent his first six years in politics as a Democrat, in a somewhat forgotten history that is sure to be revived and scrutinized by Republican opponents if he decides to run for president.
A raging liberal he was not. Elected to represent a slice of rural West Texas in the state House of Representatives in 1984, Perry, a young rancher and cotton farmer, gained an early reputation as a fiscal conservative. He was one of a handful of freshman pit bulls, so named because they sat in the lower pit of the House Appropriations Committee, where they fought to keep spending low.
But Perry cast some votes and took a few stands that seem to be at odds with the fiscal conservatism he champions today. The most vivid example is Perrys support of the $5.7 billion tax hike in 1987, signed by Republican Gov. Bill Clements but opposed by most of the GOP members...
Almost a quarter century later, Perry, as governor, was faced with a similarly sized budget shortfall. But he took a markedly different tack in 2011: He opposed any new taxes, and signed a budget that made the first reduction in overall spending on public education since at least 1949.

Perry ping.
Perry spent his first six years in politics as a Democrat... A raging liberal he was not. Elected to represent a slice of rural West Texas in the state House of Representatives in 1984, Perry, a young rancher and cotton farmer, gained an early reputation as a fiscal conservative.
Bill Clinton cured me of it.
Now I'm a raging uber-conservative Tea Party political animal.
Sometimes it takes a moment, whether from outside forces or internal meditation, to make you realign your priorities and find your center. I found mine; I can trust that Perry found his.
"Another political move Perry made back then: He was a top Texas supporter and organizer in 1988 for Al Gore, who ran as a southern conservative rather than the populist reformer he eventually became as the 2000 Democratic presidential nominee.
I came to my senses, Perry likes to say when asked about his Gore days."
I guess this is the killer for me (as if I need another one). The Democrats had just tried to (and nearly did) IMPEACH Reagan for Iran-Contra, which was based on a SICK law that prohibited the president from aiding countries that tried to fight off Communism.
How Perry could stay part of that party, and then openly campaign for them to take the White House is absolutely MIND BOGGLING. I do remember those days, and I do admit that Gore was moderate in the Senate (his last days of being that way, by the way...) but my God, his party's HATRED of Reagan at that time even exceeds ANYTHING you hear in politics today.
Yes, I know that Gramm and Reagan were Democrats, but both got out long before this crap happened. Perry seemed to be a VERY SLOW learner of what was going on in Washington. As I mentioned before, if he had been successful with Gore we'd be 20 years further down the road to Socialism right now.
I can see Reagan being a Democrat in the 1930s and 1940s, before he started campaigning for Republicans in the 1950s, after all that was before the 60s and Vietnam and Abortion and Gay Rights, and Feminism and Jimmy Carter, The Reagan Revolution, Etc.
It does puzzle me being AGAINST The Reagan Revolution, supporting Carter in 1980, supporting Mondale in 1984, supporting Al Gore in 1988, and enlisting and becoming leadership in the left DURING the Reagan Presidency and the ending of the Cold War.
How does the 1980s and President Reagan, turn a natural born conservative, INTO a Democrat politician and Democrat opposition leader?
Typical, you are born a liberal and die a conservative...as aging makes you wiser (most of us, anyway).
I don't think Reagan turned him into anything. There was a long line of more or less conservative Southern Democrats and Perry seems to have been bringing up the rear.
Charlie Wilson (of the Tom Hanks movie fame) was another. They certainly weren't against Reagan's Cold War policies. They were just yellow dog Democrats following a 100-year tradition.
Having a father who took him to Sam Rayburn's funeral probably did something to keep Perry in that tradition. He's not my candidate for anything, but I doubt he was acting out of a strong negative reaction to Reagan.
You know nothing about Texas politics. In the 1980's, Republicans were rare in Texas. A lot of the Democrats were pretty conservative. So it is not unusual that a conservative from west Texas would be a Dem. And can you substantiate your claim that Perry was in the "leadership of the left"? I didn't think so.
Even during the Vietnam War, the Draft, everything that you know about the 60s, 52% of the 18 to 29 year old vote went for Richard Nixon.
In the heart of the Reagan Revolution in the same year that Rick Perry decided to run as a Democrat candidate for Congress, 1984, 59% of the 18 to 29 year old vote went Republican.
The old saying that I didn't leave the party, the party left me, still stands today. The majority of Conservatives, like me, were Democrats at one point in our young lives.
Some of us just grew up and smelled the bullsh*t. Onward, Christian soldiers! Proud to be a Conservative every damn day of my life! And you are correct about most Democrats being conservative!
I voted for Dukakis in '88. My fisrt Pres. election vote cast was for this loser.
I have since changed my ways.
I am a born and raised Texan, my stepfather held elective office in Texas.
In 1980 Reagan carried Texas by 55%, in 1984 when Perry was enlisting to become a Democrat leader, the Republicans carried Texas by 64%, in 1988 Reagan's veep carried Texas by 56%.
Were you voting Democrat in those years, working for Democrat Presidential candidates in those years? I wasn't.
Perry is NOT to be trusted.
Step carefully when heaping accolades and praise upon him.
He talks big bluster about border security and then lets the Texas special legislative session end without passing
"sanctuary city" legislation.
He could have told big Republican donors like Charles Butts of (HEB food stores)..... adios mofo!! But instead he caved.
More like - The Democratic years - Before he became a RINO.
Perry didn't, The Reagan years is when he chose to become a Captain for the Democrats, a 1984 Congressional Democrat candidate, and Al Gores's campaign manager against Reagan's veep in 1988.
To understand this, you need to freshen up history of the South prior to president Lyndon B. Johnson (D). The South had been markedly, almost religiously, Democrat since Reconstruction, that is, since the end of the US Civil War.
This was a very different Democrat party than cripples the country today. The southern Democrats were liberal in some ways, conservative is some ways, and many of them were deeply offensive in some ways such as racism. But they were *not* radical leftists, of the type that could be found in the northeast of the US.
In two successive elections, in 1968 and 1972, the northeastern liberals first crippled the southern Democrats, and then pushed them entirely out of the power structure of the Democrat party.
The northeastern liberals thought they had done so with the election of JFK, but with his death, LBJ, a Texan, became president, and being a southerner stole the radical leftist ascendancy and returned it to the South. So they spent most of his term trying to undermine him, to the point where he refused to run for reelection.
The first coup attempt was then in 1968, where the radical left put forth Hubert Humphrey, who was a northerner, if not from the northeast, and philosophically supportive of the radicals agenda. That was so offensive to southerners that they split the party, and ran George Wallace as their candidate.
This threw the election to Republican Richard Nixon. But from that point, the radicals decided to purge the South from the Democratic leadership ranks. Importantly, it should be remembered that even stripped of power, the southern Democrat leaders remained Democrats.
The Dixiecrat leaders who split from the party remained with the party, with one, and only one, prominent defection: Strom Thurmond, who became a Republican. And the Dixiecrat leaders, proud defenders of segregation, remained Democrats to their dying day.
Finally, in the 1972 presidential election, the coup was completed, the northern radicals completely controlled the Democrat party, and have since shunned southern Democrats and their ideas.
With all that as background, the fractured southern Democrat rank and file no longer had a political party, and finding conservatism much more appealing than radical leftism, they have migrated to a new home in the Republican party.
Importantly, the most vile parts of the southern Democrats could never abide conservatism, so have remained behind as Democrats, concealing their true feelings and thoughts under a veneer of radicalism.
To be fair, the Al Gore of 1988 didn't look much to his fellow Southern congressmen like the Al Gore of later years. If they were wrong, it was a common perception.
And a lot of Reaganites weren't crazy about the prospect of George H.W. Bush in the White House. I'm not sure they were entirely wrong.
I'm not exactly disagreeing with you, just saying that it's possible to overstate the case against Perry.
If you were alive, fully grown, politically oriented, and remember the 1980s, there was no way not to have a strong reaction to Reagan, you reacted either strongly positive, or strongly negative, Perry became an active Democrat leader and campaigner for Al Gore.
Sam Rayburn died in 1961, it didn't influence anyone during the Reagan Revolution.
No one can soft pedal Al Gore and remain credible, and Reagan's veep got 53% of the national vote, and 56% of the Texas vote in that election, we didn't win Perry's vote, he preferred Democrats.
For Southern Democrats in those days, it was a team phenomenon. They may not entirely have disliked Reagan's policies. They just wanted someone from their own team in the White House. If it all sounds crazy or strange now, it's the way things were for years. Living as we do in a much more polarized age it's hard to understand how things were in the Carter era. And given that some people in the 1970s were still voting on things that happened in 1861, voting on the basis of what happened in 1961 doesn't look so strange.
I don't care if Perry was a nun. He proposed the trans Texas corridor in 02, attended Bilderberg in 07. We don't need another stealth puppet in the White House. Didn't we get enough CFR globalism from Texas with the Bush family?
You give Perry more power than deserved.
You are trying to lecture a Texan on Texas politics, 64% of Texas voted Republican in 1984, Sam Rayburn dying in 1961 had nothing to do with anything, Perry did not fight Reagan's party throughout the Reagan Revolution as some sort of monument to a guy that died when Perry was 11 years old.
Didn't you support Perry in the Governor race against Kay Bailey Hutchinson? I did, and Palin did also.
Sarah also says nice things about McCain and is dead wrong.
Yet Rick Perry thought Al Gore, punk son of a rich elitist Demonrat, who frittered away his time at Harvard smoking dope, then flunked out of divinity and law school, was a better Presidential choice than Reagan's choice for VP, George H.W. Bush, WW 2 hero and former CIA Chief.
Usually the most despicable sinners make the most devout Christians. When one asks Jesus and Lord into their hearts, a incredible transformation takes place. Perry and his family have been members of Tarrytown United Methodist Church since the 1990s. This church is not the typical United Methodist church. It is largely in the non-denominational, evangelical style of mega-church with power point sermons, rock band song ministry, and large screen TVs. It is the same church that President Bush attended. It has changed the lives of the thousands that have attended. I am sure the Lord forgave Rick Perry for being a DemonRAT.
As someone who went back into military service because of Reagan, I shudder to think how our Cold War efforts and momentum might have been derailed by President Al Gore in 1988, what violence and chaos and perhaps even recovery may have come from his being at the helm during what became the closing years of the USSR and the collapsing of the Empire.
As a recovering former Methodist, I regard that denomination as pretty much a joke today. The fact that W. Bush was a member just confirms that belief.
You betcha!
My story is similar. Was a braindead liberal in my youth. Ronald Reagan helped me see the light.
I think with McCain it's different, it's her way of thanking him for elevating the nations awareness of her.
She owes Perry no such gratitude, so her support for him is far more genuine, IMO.
The elderly man took my father to hear RR in a nearby town...and the rest is history. Even then they didn't advertise they voted R because my dad was in business...and it wouldn't have been good.
Dems can be nasty mean.
The county I live in has never had a county wide elected Republican. Since Ann Richards the GOP candidates for governor and POTUS have carried our county but Dems win Co. offices..and they vote Repub for state and fed offices.
Wouldn't surprise me to learn some are Tea Party members.
Not a real bad stream-of-conciousness interpretation of history, but you really need to re-think this line "So they spent most of his term trying to undermine him (LBJ), to the point where he refused to run for reelection."
LBJ was so unpopular because of his war, he knew he could not win his own primary - exactly as Truman was primaried out 16 years before because of his own war in Korea.
I would say that such immunizations today are just as important as immunizations against Polio were in the 1950s. They took out out of class and lined us up in the cafeteria for Polio shots. I saw people lined up in the halls of the hospital living in Iron Lungs. Even though the HPV is not necessary if everyone had sex only with the partner they married, would you trust your life to a spouse who lied about their sexual history? If I were a woman, getting three shots for a lifetime of protection is worth it given the lying men who would say anything for that "test drive" before that trip to the altar.
It is many times that religious beliefs have interfered with medial/scientific applications. In the case of abortion, Christian beliefs that end such a practice is a good thing. But not all medical practices are bad. You would not have prevented others from living in a Iron Lung because of religious beliefs against the Polio vaccine even if it was found out that Polio was transmitted by sex.
I wrote that Tarrytown United Methodist Church "is largely in the non-denominational, evangelical style of mega-church with power point sermons, rock band song ministry, and large screen TVs." This is not the typical United Methodist Church. I imagine it is the type of church that you found after you became a "a recovering former Methodist." It was in the 1990s that Perry too became "a recovering former Methodist" when he joined this church. I believe it transformed the lives of President George W. Bush as it transformed the Rick Perry family. Where President Bush gave up his life of alcohol addiction, Rick Perry became a conservative. God is good.
Rick Perry became "Al Gores's campaign manager against Reagan's veep in 1988." Question: What transformed Rick Perry in the 1990s?
The last time I was in a United Methodist Church, the young female (which is un-Biblical to start with) minister preached that we should vote for politicians who gave govt. aid to "the poor." That's a complete perversion of the Christian doctrine of charity. The Wesleys would be appalled at what has become of Methodism, just as the Founding Fathers would be at what has become of their Republic.
W. Bush was correctly identified by Jeffrey Hart as a "Christian socialist," not a conservative. The Gardasil fiasco (along with other facts) suggests that Perry is not a conservative either. Gardasil was a totalitarian nanny-state measure.
They very actively tried to undermine LBJ. The Kennedy faction demanded from him that he keep JFKs entire cabinet, and thus agenda.
"The Great Society" were not LBJs ideas, though he was tasked with "arm twisting" them through congress, mostly against his fellow southerners, who remained in congress despite being stripped of power in the party apparatus.
Most of the war effort was handled by "Robert McNamara's band", who worked with direct management of the war by congressmen and senators. McNamara's philosophy was that the war could be run like a business.
As you look at the timetable of the changeover from the old school to radical leadership, you can see almost to the day when the radicals turned, as a group, against the war. Generally solely for political reasons. Oddly enough, though Humphrey was too left wing for the southerners, he was far too right wing for the radicals, who only found their candidate in 1972 with George McGovern.
So though the southerners split right, first, the radicals were itching to drag the party left.
It all goes to who went against the war, and when.
>>Didnt we get enough CFR globalism from Texas with the Bush family?<<
You said it.
Sure the Kennedys wanted back in bad enough to undermine him, nobody would argue that but your take on LBJ and his presidency and who he was is your own fantasy. You have LBJ so wrong it's crazy, and pretty much the rest of it is off base too.
>>Perry spent his first six years in politics as a Democrat,<<
>>Perry, a young rancher and cotton farmer, gained an early reputation as a fiscal conservative.<<
Which labels the man as an opportunist, a man who doesn't have the courage to stand by his own principles, a man who is for sale to the highest bidder, a man I wouldn't invite to dinner at my table.
A generation ago party identity was not formed at a national level. In the South almost everyone was democrat. Where I live now, if you want to win local office you have to run as a democrat (until this past election!). That is changing now, but back in the day Southern Democrats were generally conservative.
As I said, you betcha. What is interesting about the words spoken by Sarah is the following segment...
This was said just this year by Sarah outside of Baltimore during her recent bus tour. She wasn't saying these words in the context of the long decided Governor's race. She was referring specifically to the Republican Presidential primary.
Below is a link to the source of Sarah's words, it's a very enlightening read. Enjoy!
You are indeed correct....the county I live in Texas (Fannin) the home of Mr. Sam....Sam Rayburn, the longest serving speaker of the house in our country....was the bastion of Democrats...now known as "Dumbcrats"....because the elections of 2010...not a person at the county level running as a Democrat won....zero...none...zada.... This has happened across the south as the crazies have taken over the Democrat party....
My parents were democrats for years.. until the democratic party went to far to the left. Now they vote republican. I think obama has turn alot of democrats into republicans.

The absolute best. Extremely responsive to answering questions. Very open and caring. Excellent diagnosis , care and treatment. Very candid and honest
Knowledgeable, capable, caring, & takes time to answer questions.
Dr Lee has been my doctor for over 10 years. She has delivered both of my boys and was amazing through a difficult situation I had. She is very devoted to her patients and for this reason she is well worth the wait time. I highly recommend her if you want a caring, knowledgable doctor!
Dr Lee is the best , she really makes me feel as though she cares in fact she does . Always trying to give the best option and treatment. Christene is sweet. Great team those 2 together. A
I have been with Dr. Lee for many years now. I drive 2 hours to get to her office. She is kind and very understanding as well as an excellent doctor. Christine is great always easy to talk to. I would never go to anyone else. The wait time is never a problem for me because she is worth it.
Very difficult to get an emergency appointment. Reception desk staff not very friendly. Wait time can be up to an hour or more. I have been a patient for over five years and have always waited a minimum of 30 to 45 minutes. One time, I waited over an hour and realized patients who arrived after me were being seen. When I questioned the receptionist, the response was "these things happen and you'll be next, now sit down." The doctor is lovely but always seems rushed.

"The cards felt of quality in your hands. They were not only beautiful with a black and white photo, they looked elegant and felt elegant."
"I ran out of time to get a Christmas card put together, but I knew I wanted to send a New Year's card in its place. Found the perfect card with just the right printed text and it was great to have lots of options on adding photos. Icing on the cake was how quickly the order arrived.....much faster than I thought. Thank you, Tiny Prints!!"
"I ordered these New Year cards for my photography business. I couldn't have asked for better quality and they arrived faster than I expected. Will definitely order again in the future."
"This is the first time I've used Tiny Prints. It was hard to decide with all the beautiful design choices. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper and the printing. It seems a little more expensive than some sites but I felt with the rapid service and quality product it was worth it."
"I've used tiny prints for the past 6 years and they are the best quality and best options of any card company I've found. Very satisfied"

What happens in the former socialist region of Russia and Central and Eastern Europe has an important bearing on the shape of the world in the 21st Century in terms of politics, international relations, global security, society, culture and economics and our staff teaching on the programme are at the forefront of research across all of these areas.
IMRCEES responds to demands from policymakers, businesses and NGOs for graduates with an advanced knowledge of one or more of the following critical geopolitical areas within the field of Russian, Central and East European Studies:
- Central Asia
- Caucasus/Caspian Sea Basin
- Russia
- Central and Eastern Europe
- Baltic Sea Region
Teaching and research on IMRCEES will reflect the current state-of-the-art in the field by addressing the many political, security and socio-economic challenges existing throughout the post-socialist region today. The curriculum will include a focus on Central Asia and Caucasus/Caspian Sea Region in particular because of its vital strategic geopolitical and economic importance to the European Union and the rest of the world in terms of engagement with Russia; military and energy security; human rights, democracy and good governance; economic development; and the role of the media in social transformation.
All of the major challenges faced by the states and societies in all of the above critical geopolitical areas and their place within the new global security order will be examined.

After the 76ers reached the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs and made big additions to their roster in the offseason, the buzz began: This season was supposed to mark the beginning of a new era.
The acquisition of Andrew Bynum in August sent reverberations through the city, starting with a packed news conference at the National Constitution Center.
But it has been all downhill since. Out of the blue, Bynum showed up at the first day of training camp with an excuse note from the doctor detailing a knee injury that morphed into injuries to both knees.
Since that time, deadlines for his Sixers debut have come and gone, so much so that in November the team simply dispensed with any time line for his first appearance.

Can someone explain why the PE is expected to go from 5 to 30?
It is presently low due to the sale of Cray assets in May 2012. That big one time gain won't be factored in much longer.
Sentiment: Sell
Usually that it an indication that earnings (especially earnings per share or EPS) are expected to drop.
If you look at the analysts estimate page on Yahoo, it shows year ago EPS 4.31, and expected EPS for 2013 as 0.51, and expected EPS for 2014 is 0.69.
Such a drop in earnings would cause the PE to increase by the ratio of the old earnings to the new earnings.
The ratio of 4.31/0.51 is approximately 8.45. With a current PE of 5.08, you would expect the new PE (all else being equal) to be 43 or so. (5.08 multiplied by 8.45 is just a little less than 43).
But with the drop in earnings, one might expect a drop in the price per share as well, which would mean that the PE would not be quite that high. To hit a PE of 30 (given the above analysis, where the expected PE would be 43 with no price change), the price per share would have to decline about 30%.
Wow, thanks for such a thorough answer, its much appreciated.

I'm using WP-UserLogin 5.4 plugins in the excellent drawer. It's working fine, when I'm logged out by default. I can log in using the drawer panel and the WP-UserLogin plugin. But when I log out using the same rout, the drawer remains a bit open on the right side and left side. If I click on the drawer, it opens, and then it closes, when I click to close, as good as it is.
I think it's conflicting with the other plugins' codes.
Take care.

Here's a picture book for all Jewish families to read while celebrating Passover. Unlike other Passover picture books that focus on the contemporary celebration of the holiday, or are children's haggadahs, this gorgeous picture book in verse follows the actual story of the Exodus. Told through the eyes of a young slave girl, author Laurel Snyder and illustrator Catia Chien skillfully and gently depict the story of Pharoah, Moses, the 10 plagues, and the parting of the Red Sea in a remarkably accessible way.
"Evocative and beautiful... flawlessly evokes the spirit of the Old Testament story," raves "Publishers Weekly" in a starred review. This dramatic adventure, set over 3,500 years ago, of a family that endures hardships and ultimately finds freedom is the perfect tool to help young children make sense of the origins of the Passover traditions.
About the Author
Catia Chien is an avid painter who works from her studio in Southern California. She is a collection of fun entomology facts and has been known to prefer soup over most other types of food. Besides filled with vivid imagination, her work is described as rich with whimsy, colors, and energy. She is currently producing work for the children's book market, film and animation, comic book anthologies, and galleries.
Praise For…
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, February 18, 2013:
"The poignant yet hopeful rhymes join with striking watercolor illustrations to produce a narrative that will captivate both children and adults."

|Alley Kat Olde Deuteronomy Barley Wine
|Alley Kat Dragon Series Pink Dragon Double IPA
|Alley Kat Dragon Series Rainbow Dragon Double IPA
mcberko (735) Vancouver, British Columbia | April 17, 2015
Charming little place in an industrial strip mall. 7 beers on tap for growler fills or for sampling, and bottles available to go. The guy serving the beers was super friendly, passionate and knowledgeable about the beers and the local scene, and was very generous in giving free samples. Limited hours only on the weekend, but its a nice place to stop.
TimE (309) Tokyo, Japan | January 10, 2015
Stopped in just before heading back to Calgary one day. Was excited as I like Alley Kat a lot and Ive met Neil and his wife before and they are great people, BUT this place was a let down. Small tasting bar, but the guy working there didnt answer anything but yes or no to questions and overall didnt seem super interested in serving us, but he was polite enough. Few awkward moments of silence while my gf drank. She then asked about shirts and was told they are uni-sex. No they arent uni-sex, its mens shirt. Even for the smallest size, you would have to be a larger women to comfortably wear it. Bought some beer and vowed not to come back. No point to stop here as even liquor stores have the same or better selection of Alley Kat beers. Tasting room is a total after thought unfortunately.
Reimer96 (20) Alberta | October 15, 2012
Best brewery in Edmonton! Neil is a great supporter of the home brewing community and the service in the building is impeccable. Edmonton is a better place with Alley Kat!!
Sammy (645) Toronto, Ontario | May 13, 2011
Nothing special as a brewery tour, nice little tasting room. Always someone here as best thing going in Edmonton, and best beer brewed in Alberta. Trendy products in store. Great for tasting latest production fresh.
gramity (40) Edmonton, Alberta | February 14, 2011
Hosted a friends bachelor party complete with a tour and free samples. Also stopped by several occasions to pick up beer or sample seasonal offerings. Great service and always great selection of their beers.
Hoser (175) Cowtown, Alberta | February 9, 2005| Updated December 19, 2007
Neil the owner is a strong member of the Alberta brewing community, the Olde Deut and Full Moon are stellar beers and the man has always treated me well. Thanks

No food. Just beer on sale Mon-Fri out of a warehouse brewery. Currently brewing Albertas top 2 (0r 3) beers.

I'm on deadline and have my kiddos home with me all summer as I'm sure most of you can relate – it's hectic, to say the least. Needless to say I'm recycling a previous blog, but it's a good one. Also here's the cover for my upcoming release (August, but up for pre-order now!)
When I first started reading romance, many years ago, the majority of what was available was the traditional historical romance. What many referred to as the bodice ripper because of the sexy clinch covers. I fell in love with these books from the likes of Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, Johanna Lindsey and Catherine Coulter. And then I found Amanda Quick and her historicals were a little different. I suspect that she is probably my strongest influence, as a writer, because none of my historicals are what you'd call ballroom romps or even the lush historical dramas that Woodiwiss for known for.
With Amanda Quick, there were suspense subplots and her heroes were often scholars – something I have always been drawn to – is it any wonder that I married a college professor? ☺ Her heroines were smart too and unique. I never set out to immolate her, but when RT Bookclub compared my books to hers in a review – well, that was just about the coolest thing ever. So without further ado, I give you the 5 hallmarks of a Robyn DeHart novel…
1. A Robyn DeHart heroine is unconventional, whether she be bucking society by going to medical school to become a physician, as with Anna from The Temptations of Anna Jacobs or whether she be a blind sculptress, as with Mia from The Secrets of Mia Danvers.
2. My heroes are smart and almost always the pursuer in the relationship. Once they meet the heroine, no other woman will do. They fall hard and they're loyal to a fault. Not to mention smoking hot! They also usually have jobs, even if they're aristocrats, as with Drew in The Temptations of Anna Jacobs, is working undercover for Scotland Yard, or an antiquity hunter for hire as with Fielding in Seduce Me.
3. Don't be surprised if there's a murder at some point. Quite obviously the Dangerous Liaisons books have killings in them, even scenes in the Rippers point of view. But even in my other books, I sometimes leave a trail of bodies, not always gruesome though (for those of you who have an issue with violence). The Raven, the villain in two of my Legend Hunters books (Seduce Me and Treasure Me) is rather wicked and does away with more than one person. Even in my novella that's currently out, a Regency spy story, No Ordinary Mistress, chapter one opens up with a murder.
4. Amidst the carnage you'll often find humor. Some books are funnier than others, but even if you don't laugh out loud, there are plenty of happy, smiling moments. There's one scene in A Study in Scandal where the heroine knocks a door into the hero's head and every time I read it, it made me chuckle. That's saying a lot because as an author we have to read our own books a lot and by the end, they get really old. ☺
5. My books are full of snappy dialogue. Almost every review and reader email I receive comments on both my characters and the witty dialogue. It's where the books come alive to me when I'm writing, where the characters live, in the words that they speak. Dialogue is super important to me and an integral part of all of my work.
Well, I hope this has given you a little taste of what reading a Robyn DeHart book is like. If you've read me before, what are your favorite parts of my books If not, what do you usually look for when picking out a new author?
This post appeared earlier this week on the Casablanca Authors blog.
Last week, my daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas. She's five and spends her 50 cents a week allowance as soon as she gets it, so she has about 8 cents to her name. I couldn't think of a single thing to tell her.
It was so incredibly sweet of her to ask me what I wanted. I thought about telling her I just wanted to have a nice holiday with her or for everyone to stay safe and healthy, but I knew she wouldn't accept those answers. She wants to give me something tangible. I ran through the list I'd given my family, trying to think of something she could manage. Fitbit? No. Kindle? No. New running shoes? No.
Finally Princess Galen chimed in: Mommy, I thought you might want a book to read.
Me: Yes, I love reading books, but I can't think of any I want at the moment. (By which I meant, none she could get me)
Princess Galen: Maybe I could write a book for you.
Me: I'd love that.
PG: I could draw all the pictures too.
Me: That would be great. You'd better ask Daddy to help you.
Princess Galen at age 2. Now she's writing books (maybe).
I don't know if I'll get the book. It's a big project for a 5-year-old who can't read more than 25 words on her own and only knows how to spell her name. But it reminds me of what Christmas is all about–thinking of others, giving of ourselves to others, giving from the heart not the wallet.
Follow-up: I did not get a book, but I did get a song! She had her grandma write the words for her, and it was all about keeping the beat and how she loved me so much in her heart. Super sweet! Fingers crossed for a book next year!
Happy holidays! This best of post appeared on my personal blog earlier this week, so it may be a repeat for some of you. But it makes me smile, and I wanted to share it with the rest of my JauntyFriends 🙂
Hello, ReaderFriends, and Happy Holidays to those who celebrate!
Seeing how Arizona's spirituality lands somewhere between Navajo and agnostic, and mine is mostly self-assembled, our celebration is a bit of a mutt. We have a 'Winter Tree' that I decorate myself and Arizona surprises himself each year by enjoying; we do small gift exchanges with each other and my family and go spend time with his on Christmas day; and we take some time to be together and reflect on the year past and the one ahead.
And, weather and circumstances permitting, we take the bikes somewhere fun for a ride.
This year, the usual tradition has been complicated somewhat by my super-pregnant, ordered-off-the-mountain-bike status. So we've adapted–going on some fun hikes, ostensibly scouting new biking locations for next year. How is biking going to work with a new baby involved? Beats me, but I'm sure we'll figure something out. (Crossing fingers.)
One of the coolest locations we've scouted is Rocky Neck, where an old WPA project building overlooks the sound on a lovely piece of state park. On the 'bringing things full circle' front, the first and only other time we had visited was to scout the building as a possible wedding venue. At the time, we deemed it too big (and frankly intimidating) for our small friends-family-and-barbecue plan. Now, though, Arizona declared it perfect. Because, you see, it has Good Rocks.
Here's the two of us scouting those rocks a couple of weekends ago and modeling our furry hats. (For the record, he was wearing said hat when he first came toward me across the ferry parking lot for our initial face-to-face meeting, and my original 'wonder if he'll be over six feet like his profile claimed' quickly morphed to 'jeepers, what is he, like eight feet tall?')
And here's Arizona this past weekend rocking the … er … rocks.
I, of course, was firmly planted on my hiking boots, taking the pictures (in a furry hat). And before I sent him off to have his fun while I hiked down to get a good picture angle, I gave him a kiss and hesitated. There was no real point in telling him to be careful, because if you're too careful on a downhill like this, you'll go over the handlebars. And I didn't want to tell him not to crash, because that's sort of inevitable in the sport, especially when you're scouting a new line. Break a leg? Just no.
I went with "Have fun and try to land softly." And he did exactly that. So that is what I wish for you, ReaderFriends, as we navigate the holiday season and look to the year ahead. Have fun, and try to land softly.
–Doc Jess
This time of year most of us are getting ready for the holidays. We're shopping and wrapping and baking and decorating and its easy to get lost in the bustle of the busy season. One thing I never skimp on though is decorating my tree. Not because I feel it has to be perfect, it's actually kind of haphazard, no theme tree at my house. No, I take my take while decorating the tree because my ornaments are special to me.
While I was growing up my parents had a tradition of giving each of us kids one
ornament a year so that when we grew up and moved away we'd have an ornament collection to put on our own tree.So I have many of these though some of them haven't survived over the years, I still enjoy looking at the ornaments and remembering when I was in Jr. High and I loved unicorns, or that odd phase I went through in high school where I had a thing for black & white cows. All of it is represented there in my ornaments and I get to walk down memory lane every Christmas.
But those aren't the only special baubles I hang on the tree, I also have ones that I've bought as I've travelled. Whenever I go somewhere I try to get an ornament to remind me of that trip. I also ask friends who travel to bring back ornaments for me and I have them from all over the world. Emily brought me a wonderful handmade ornament from Greece and another from Denmark. Another friend brought me one from Bethlehem. My brother gave me ones from Argentina and Poland. And from my own travels I have the Bahamas, Jamaica, London, New York and Las Vegas (among other places) represented.
And then there are those ornaments that mark certain events in my life, like when I graduated from college or when I got engaged and then subsequently married and then when we built our house. It's all there, hanging on my tree every year and I love unwrapping each one to remember where I got it.
So how about you? Do you have special ornaments on your Christmas tree? Or do you have another holiday tradition that you always take your time to relish?
**Also, I have a new book. Well, it's not technically new, it's the bundle of my Regency spy novellas, the Masquerading Mistresses. I hope you'll check it out! And you know it makes an excellent gift this time of year. 🙂
Recently I was writing a workshop to give at a local chapter of the Romance Writers of America. The topic was Crafting Historical Heroines (and Heroes) That Rock, and I was speaking about how to create characters that are historically accurate but who still appeal to modern readers. One thing I did in preparation was to ask my readers (via Facebook, of course!) who their favorite heroes and heroines are and why.
Here are a few of the responses.
Cora DeBeau from Tracey Devlyn's A LADY'S REVENGE because she came out of France tortured not broken. I think this book should be given out at lady's shelters. I understand abuse and ladies in abusive relationships should know THEY ARE NOT BROKEN only slightly dented.
Ian Mackenzie from Jennifer Ashley's THE MADNESS OF LORD IAN MACKENZIE. He is labeled "crazy/mad" to the world because of eccentricities. What draws me to him is he doesn't hide who or what he is. He lives his life with the stares and whispers. Every time I read this story I am amazed how far he comes from the beginning to the end. I love how complex his character is and how Ms. Ashley doesn't fix him but makes his eccentricities part of the great man he is.
Eve Dallas from the JD Robb series because she saves herself.
Darius Carsington (From NOT QUITE A LADY by Loretta Chase) because he runs so very, very hard and far from his heart, then slams back to it in an instant when the woman he admires is threatened. Then he runs that much faster back to her side, intellectual sword at the ready.
Skye O'Malley (the entire series and Legacy series) by Bertrice Small. She was as intelligent as any man, went against Elizabeth Tudor and won, survived countless obstacles in the pursuit of her own happiness and empowered her children, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren to do the same!
I love all the characters from the Stephanie Lauren's Bar Cynster series all the men are heroes to their ladies and family as well as the ton, but their women are strong and a force to be reckoned with!
Sebastian and Evie from DEVIL IN WINTER. Sebastian taking a bullet for Evie was a sign of true sacrifice.
Jamie Fraser. There are many reasons to like Jamie (other than being a kilted, Highlander, of course!). He loves with his entire being. And he is willing to sacrifice himself for the people he loves. He sent Claire back through the stones to keep her and their unborn child safe even though it broke his heart to do so.
I wish I could have shared all the responses because I received so many fabulous ones. A lot of the characters mentioned were also my favorites and others I added to my TBR pile. As far as my workshop, One thing this "scientific" survey showed me was what all of these characters have in common.
In my opinion, the heroines are strong and resilient. They save themselves and empower other women. The heroes are at peace with themselves (at least by the end of the book). They don't have anything to prove to society. They are willing to love with their whole beings and make ultimate sacrifices. In short, these heroes and heroines rock!
Who are some of your favorite heroes and heroines and why? WE are having some problems with an overactive spam filter. Please go ahead and comment, and if the comment doesn't show right away, don't worry. The JQs will be freeing comments all day.

Kitchener stitch for K & P sts?
I've done the Kitchener stitch before and was just getting a refresher--Amy's video is the best! The live sts I have are seeded rib stitch, a two row pattern--
Row 1: K3 * p1, k3*
Row 2: K1 *p1, k3* p1, k1
I think if I use the Kitchener stitch it will give me a row of stockinette and look odd. Is there a way to purl in Kitchener? I thought I had seen something about it but can't find it again. Also, having started with Row 1, would I end with Row 1 and do a Row 2 pattern to join them?
I've gotten so much help here and now I'm like Oliver, I want more, please. :teehee:
Thanks! I'll give them a try. I knew I'd seen something but couldn't find it again.
I have come very close to maintaining my pattern, I am totally convinced it can be done, the only question is, how determined am I right now?
This is quite a learning experience. Wow. Tinking is one thing gnirenehctiK is a whole different dimension. All in all this isn't too bad, just that it requires concentration and keeping track of exactly where I am in the pattern. I've ended up saying, "knit-off, purl-hold" or whatever fits for the stitch I'm working on. Amy's instructions are fantastic, I just have to figure out what works for me from them. If the next stitch is a purl, then it's "knit-hold" and on the back needle "purl-hold." I don't expect this to make much sense to anyone else, I just mean to say that if you need/want to do it, figure out what works for you and go for it! Now, because I made some boo boos I must decide if I'm gnirenehctiK or adding a design element to disguise it. :p Thanks for the help!
You'll be the expert on Kitchener seed st. I hope to see your video soon!
If I can get a video camera I'll try it, you can sell tickets! Who wouldn't pay to hear someone jabbering away incoherently while screwing up and trying to pronounce unpronouncable words and having hair falling all over the yarn because I'm now nearly bald and maybe it's a good thing this is supposed to end up a hat what's losing the last bit of semblance of sanity when you actually get it to come out right......I'm sorrry, right now I am LOL till my eyes are watering and I can barely see...............

In 1943, Tarr and associates1 began to explore the use of various antibiotics for the preservation of fish. They found two tetracyclines, chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline, especially effective. In 1945, Curran and Evans2 reported that penicillin had a sporicidal effect on a number of bacteria, including Bacillus stearothermophilus, one of the causes of "flat-sour" spoilage in canned vegetables. Recently, the United States Food and Drug Administration3 approved the use of chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline on eviscerated poultry. Canadian authorities4 sanctioned the use of these antibiotics on both poultry and fish. Since these decisions, many firms have been considering commercial application for antibiotics in the handling and distribution of their products.
Antibiotics as Acceptable Food Preservatives
Antibiotics are not yet universally accepted as preservatives. An acceptable food preservative should not create a hazard to public health or conceal inferiority in a product. It should significantly increase retention of quality

Germanium laser fires up
Optical networking moves up a gear
BOFFINS AT MIT have built the first laser built from germanium that can produce wavelengths of light useful for optical networks and chip design.
It's also the first germanium laser to operate at room temperature, which is handy as that is the temperature most networks have to operate in.
Germanium is a bit of a holy grail as it is easy to incorporate into existing processes for manufacturing silicon chips. Easily fabbed lasers could mean that computers conceivably could be powered by light rather than electricity.
All MIT is saying about its breakthough for now is that it has proved that a class of materials called indirect-band-gap semiconductors can yield practical lasers.
Materials used in today's lasers, such as gallium arsenide, are "all tough fits", according to the researchers, that have to be constructed separately and then grafted onto the chips, which is more expensive and time-consuming than building them directly on silicon would be. Moreover, gallium arsenide is much more expensive than silicon.
Integrating germanium into the manufacturing process, however, is something that almost all major chip manufacturers have already begun to do, since the addition of germanium increases the speed of silicon chips.
In a forthcoming paper in the journal Optics Letters, Jifeng Liu, the lead author of the paper, and grad students Xiaochen Sun and Rodolfo Camacho-Aguilera describe how they spent their evenings coaxing excited germanium electrons into the higher-energy, photon-emitting state.
They said they used doping, in which atoms of some other element are added to a semiconductor crystal. The group doped germanium with phosphorous, which has five outer electrons. Germanium has only four outer electrons, "so each phosphorous gives us an extra electron," they said. The extra electron fills up the lower-energy state in the conduction band, causing excited electrons to, effectively, spill over into the higher-energy, photon-emitting state.
They lowered the energy difference between the two conduction-band states so that the excited electrons would be more likely to spill over into the photon-emitting state.
Then the whole lot went like the clappers. µ

Nellie Keeler
Nellie Keeler (1875–1903) was an American child circus performer known as Little Queen Mab.
Nellie Keeler[edit]
Nellie Keeler was born with dwarfism on the sixth of April, 1875 at Kokomo, Indiana.[1] She was the youngest of three daughters and a son raised by Ezra and Maria Keeler. Her father was a farmer and a Civil War veteran, having served with the 4th Indiana Cavalry. Ezra Keeler died in 1917 while in his seventies at a home for disabled war veterans in Marion, Indiana.[2] Maria Keeler lived to be in her late eighties, passing away in 1937 at Kokomo.[3]
By the age of three Nellie Keeler came to the attention of P. T. Barnum through local press articles about her diminutive stature. Nellie weighed only eleven pounds and stood just a few inches over two feet. After a successful four-week try out in 1878 she began touring with Barnum's circus, along with the company of her father,[4] as the "sweet girl with radiant golden hair". Barnum placed her on a stage a few feet above the floor in a fashionable blue cashmere costume and short skirt. Next to her sat Colonel Routh Goshen, a man Barnum claimed stood nearly eight foot tall and weighed over six hundred pounds. Nellie's contract with Barnum stipulated bad childhood behavior could void her contract and deprive her family of a potential income of a hundred dollars a month.[5]
Nellie's employment with Barnum came to an end when by the age of twelve she was no longer a tiny little girl. Over her short six year career Nellie was billed as "a microscopic bud of humanity," "a little elf," "a fairy beauty," a "pocket volume of humanity" and "the Indiana Midget."[6][7] Nellie's circus income enabled her father to become an independent farmer, free of mortgage.[8] Her obituary, that appeared in the June 18, 1903 issue of the New York Times,[9] stated she died at age twenty-eight from tuberculosis at her residence near Versailles, Indiana and that she had been in declining health since her teens.[10]

It is a good article. You can buy 20 Mule Team Borax, spread it around the rooms in the house, rub it in with a straw broom, leave it for several days. You can either vacuum or just leave it. You can also throw it around the house outside.

The seresto flea collar works well at flea prevention. Check the website for Dr. Foster and Smith vet supplies.
Patricia Salisbury, NC
Dear Brit, re your question, the answer may be that they still have fleas or have become reinfested. You may need to return to the vet to get advice on the best way to treat them this time. Those rooms with carpet, or other places the cat may have regularly hung out in, may still have fleas and need special cleaning. This doesn't mean you need all out chemical warfare, just one good treatment followed by vacuuming and regular cleaning. Treat the home at the same time the cat gets his monthly skin-dose. Most pet-based treatments are given on the skin at the back of the neck between the shoulder blades, NOT BY MOUTH. Follow instructions carefully so your pet does not get sick or die. Be very sure not to mix up treatments for the home with treatments for the pet. If the cat stays indoor only and no animals enter the home who do go outside, and you are careful about not carrying in fleas from tall grass, etc in on your pants or shoes and socks, they will almost never get reinfested. Get your money's worth and ask the vet everything you are not sure about these issues. Good luck to you and your pet, may you have many happy years together.

As I spend this last day of being twenty-four staring down, with bleary eyes, the prospect of turning a quarter century old at midnight tonight, I'm finding solace in a few comforting things. Large, earthenware pots full of homemade wines, whole cigarette packs lit ablaze and smoked like pan flutes, and you, dear commenters, who make me chuckle. Yes, it may be an aged and weary chuckle that ominously shakes my frail, weathered body, but it's chuckling nonetheless. And for that I am grateful. I am especially grateful to six of you, who will be awarded with that most prestigious award, a Commie, after the jump. I remember when I won my first, lo those many months ago. Ah, to be young again.
- From Bell County in We Assure You the Whites Have No Secrets:
"Some colleagues and I had to do an enormous amount of uncompensated brickwork for Rakim Allah's second house in order to convince him that's what it meant when he heard we were freemasons. But that's our rosy cross to bear!" [Hamilton's pick]
- From Moff in Radar Dropping Editors:
"It's like this Wendy's in Fargo when I was growing up: It closed and then another restaurant moved in. And then a year later, that restaurant went out of business, and another moved in. And that happened over and over again, and finally it became a Wendy's again. I think it still is.
It's like that, except if the Wendy's had just kept reopening as a Wendy's, over and over again." [Pareene's pick]
- From lawyergay in OK Fine: Gossip Girl Boys May Actually Like Girls:
"OMG coming out stories? Immediate, puzzled hugs from my old-school liberal parents, followed by a furious activist phase (PFLAG, rage at Pat Buchanan, etc.) that somehow became not really caring that none of the mainstream Democratic candidates for president have ever openly supported gay marriage. A few months ago, I noticed copies of both Cat Fancy and Dog Fancy lying around their house. It seemed like some kind of turning point, but I'm not sure into what."
- From Pope John Peeps II in Love Still Hurts Even When Not Blogged:
"Que serblah serblah."
- From BeRightBack in Love Still Hurts Even When Not Blogged:
"This is like when this kid in my class who I always liked but who was too popular for me to ever approach directly disappeared for a weekend and everyone thought he was dead, even holding a little memorial assembly in the gym with crying and sombre crepe paper and sad cheerleaders, and then the following week I looked up from my desk just as he sauntered into homeroom to be greeted by the dumbfounded stares of Mr. McDonaldson and my classmates and me, a sly grin on his face and only the faintest smell of gravedirt emanating from his otherwise immaculate cuticles. "Your fly is open," he said to Mr. McDonaldson and sure enough, it was true. We tittered uneasily and Mr. McDonaldson zipped up, and then turned in his resignation the next day." Which was a response to your Party Pick...
- From Conbon:
"This is just like when I had a girlfriend at the end of 5th grade but then summer came and I was 11 so I didn't have a car or anything, so I couldn't just drive to her house or take her on dates; and anyways we both went to camp so no phones. I didn't see her until the beginning of 6th grade and was then told by one of her friends that we had broken up. Blogs are the new 6th grade friends of your ex-girlfriend."
Congratulations everyone! Wish me luck as I totter off into my dotage.

Flea Symphony
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Flea Symphony is a challenging music puzzle game based on rhythm, physics, and strategy. The game is multilevel and quickly increases in difficulty, and has high replay value. The theme is an old-time flea circus where players bounce fleas off musical instruments that are mounted on intricate mechanics -- all in rhythm to a picture-based music timeline. The game's not forgiving, and often, quick two-finger motions are needed for successful gameplay. Still, the synchronized images, sounds, and strategy can rope you for a high-wire rhythmic challenge. Parents should know that the app has options to share via social media and fees to unlock higher levels.
What kids can learn
- patterns
- probability
- motion
- physics
- music
- rhythm
Thinking & Reasoning
- analyzing evidence
- decision-making
- logic
Tech Skills
- using and applying technology
Engagement, Approach, Support
Imaginative and strategic music puzzle game quickly increases in difficulty. Kids can easily get roped into aligning musical instruments to match the graphic music notation and rhythmic patterns. Sights and sounds are outstanding.
Kids align graphic music notation, rhythm, and mechanics to advance through complex musical puzzles. Kids are empowered as they exercise listening, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination while exploring this unique puzzle game.
No centralized help page; picture-based instructions appear with new game features. A musical timeline (similar to a musical staff) shows players when they match the rhythm. In-app instructions come in eight different languages.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's it about?
The game begins when a flea is blown out of a horn. Using trial and error, kids move musical instruments to bounce the flea into a red bell -- all in time and corresponding to pictures notated on a musical staff. Off-rhythm bounces show up as a blue line where the beat's too early or late. When instruments are properly aligned, the flea bounces in rhythm, which highlights the notation and advances players to the next level. Each world brings more intricate instruments and mechanics, making the game increasingly challenging.
Is it any good?
FLEA SYMPHONY is all about rhythm, physics, and timing. The game is very imaginative and its sights and sounds are great (for even more stunning visuals, Retina iPad can download the Retina asset pack, which is available as a separate 90 MB download). While the game's objective is simple, Flea Symphony is a tricky time-based, trial and error puzzler. The pacing of levels is sometimes odd, with easy puzzles followed by really challenging ones. In either case, the picture notation musical staff is indispensable because it gives kids a visual rhythmic phrase to match -- if your beat's a little early, lower the instrument; if your beat's a bit late, raise it up some. It's really rewarding when everything lines up -- the game lights up and players are washed with a short but very pleasing rhythmic symphony.
Families can talk about...
Music is made up of individual notes which, when played together, makes a song. Talk about how music can be written down using notes or other forms of representation.
Explore the branch of physics known as mechanics by bouncing a ball off different surfaces. Ask kids to predict how a ball will bounce on flat, angled, and curved surfaces.

Last night I was kindly invited by Hugh MacLeod to attend a preview screening of David Mackenzie's new film Hallam Foe. This is a pretty dark film but really fascinating and tell's the story of a young guys struggle to come to terms with the death of his mother. At times it treads a really fine line between socially acceptable norms but this makes it all the more interesting and a real talking point.
It's being released on August 31st and stars Jamie Bell of Billy Elliott fame. Well worth checking out.
Here's a picture of me, Steve Clayton, Tony Cocks and Hugh MacLeod at the drinks reception afterwards. Can only assume Paul Walsh was behind the camera or off asking girls at the party for 50p.
You can check out the film preview here.
Hugh - thanks again - you rock.

Lake Wales Police: 20-Year-Old Missouri Man Accused of Stalking Teen
Published: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 11:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 11:58 p.m.
LAKE WALES | Lake Wales police have arrested a 20-year-old Missouri man who is accused of cyber-stalking a teen online and coming to Florida to try to meet with her.
Officers said Clark Long, of Webster Grove, Mo., arrived in Florida on Thursday and called the school attended by the teen girl twice on Friday in hopes of meeting her in person.
According to his arrest report, Long first told the school's administration that the teen's mother was involved in a horrible car accident, and he called back that afternoon pretending to be her father, demanding she be released from school for a family emergency.
Police said administrators at the school saw through both his ruses but when the teen left school that day, Long was parked next to her vehicle. The teen rejected his advances and drove away, but officers said Long followed her around Lake Wales and attempted to run her off the road numerous times.
Police arrested Long soon after at the teen's boyfriend's house. Police said he was banging on the door trying to get in.
Long is being charged with aggravated stalking and cyber stalking. He was released from the Polk County jail Sunday on $10,000 bail.
