There is mounting evidence that, in many cases, agile software development approaches work better than traditional ones. However, some organizations are still struggling to successfully adopt agile techniques and philosophies. Sometimes it's simply because an agile approach isn't a good strategy for a project team or even the entire organization, but usually it's because cultural barriers within the organization are too difficult to overcome or because the organization doesn't invest sufficiently in agile training and mentoring. Sadly, most articles focus on the success stories and few on the failures, a wrong that I hope to right this month.
Last year, I was brought in to UK-based Gorwell Financial Group to assess a failed software process improvement effort. A gentleman whom I'll refer to as Winston Smith (not his real name) had attempted a grass roots, stealth agile adoption effort within his project team. Winston was an up-and-coming senior technical lead with over 10 years experience in IT. He was well connected with Gorwell because his big brother, whom I'll refer to by his nickname of "BB," ran the IT department. This proved to be both an advantage and disadvantage because although it gave Winston a bit more leeway than most, it also meant middle management was watching him closely. Be that as it may, in the end Winston proved to seriously misjudge Gorwell's organizational inertia.
The Victory Process
It's critical to understand the context. Gorwell had developed the Victory Software Process in the early-1990s, based on the serial V-model process that was becoming popular at the time within the U.S. government. The basic idea was that up-front activities such as requirements analysis, architecture, and design would be validated through back-end activities such as user-acceptance testing (UAT), system-integration testing (SIT), and functional testing (FT), respectively. It definitely wasn't the fastest way to work, but at the time it was believed to be low risk and result in high quality. BB, who leaned towards the melodramatic, came up with the slogan "Victory produces glorious results every time," which appeared on posters throughout Gorwell's IT department.
In parallel, Gorwell developed an IT governance program that provided rewards for conforming to the Victory process. Being the early 1990s, they were just beginning to adopt C++ for new development, and as a result of their OO fervor they created the ++GOOD (GOOD stood for Gorwell Object-Oriented Design) point system. You were rewarded ++GOOD points each time you attended a meeting, wrote a document, reviewed a document, or met a major Victory milestone. Every Friday morning BB would publicly congratulate the top three ++GOOD point earners that week over the PA system and take them out for lunch that day.
The key to the Victory process and governance program was Gorwell's project-management office (PMO). The PMO adopted both the UK's PRINCE (now PRINCE2) project-management guidelines and the U.S.-based Project Management Institute's book of knowledge (PMBoK) to ensure a comprehensive approach to project management. Its slogan was "Create the plan, work to the plan, and measure against the plan," a philosophy that drove all Victory project teams. To educate junior staff, they had a mentoring program called the "Youth League" where senior project managers indoctrinated new hires in the Victory process for their first two weeks at Gorwell, followed up by one-day refresher training courses once a quarter for their first five years.
After a decade of Victory, and after reading about agile software development, Winston realized that the results really weren't as "glorious" as BB was claiming. Projects were routinely late and over budget, although because they took so long and because the PMO kept updating the original estimates few others seemed to notice. Quality was slowly eroding away, but because Gorwell management kept reorganizing the reporting structure, everyone quickly forgot that things had worked better in previous years.
Compounding the problem was the political infighting amongst their business stakeholders, making it virtually impossible to set system requirements in stone at the beginning of projects as the Victory process insisted on. Gorwell had three business divisions based on geographyOceania, Eurasia, and East Asiawhich were always changing their priorities, waging internal political power struggles, and worse yet changing allegiances on a regular basis. The environment was chaotic, and when applying more paperwork into the process didn't help, BB simply decided to start claiming success via internal propaganda. That was the turning point for Winston.

Test Preparation
What is CECT Fore Arm?
Contrast Enhanced Computerized Tomography (CECT) Scan of the Fore arm is a diagnostic procedure in which a contrast material is injected and the rotating beams of X-rays are used to create cross sectional images of the fore arm which can then be used to create a three dimensional image of the fore arm. This image can be used to visibly assess fore arm anatomy and to diagnose any associated problems.
Why is CECT Fore Arm done?
- • To detect the fractures of the bones of the fore arm not visible on a simple X-ray • To detect the cause of any unexplained pain in the fore arm • To detect any infection, injury or inflammation of the soft tissues like the muscle, the tendons and ligaments of the fore arm • To diagnose any suspected infection, osteoporosis, deformities or abnormal growth of the bones and arthritis (inflammation of the joints)

Work, Not Sex, At Last
The Map and the Territory
Jed Martin, the hero of Michel Houellebecq's new novel, is the first of his major characters to make it to the end of a book without checking into a psychiatric ward or committing suicide. Jed is an artist who becomes successful and then very rich from selling his paintings, but such happy professional circumstances would not normally be enough to insulate one of Houellebecq's characters from a wretched fate. Life in a Houellebecq novel is violent, with an unaccountably high death rate for bureaucrats, artists, scientists, marketing executives—the sort of affluent Western law-abiders whom we might expect, from an actuarial point of view, to die quietly and sanely of natural causes. In Houellebecq's novels they burn with a steady fever of anxiety, anger, and sadness that eventually consumes them. They are incredulous that anyone can remain quiet and sane in what they see as a state of cultural emergency.
What's the problem? The characters would say it has to do with sex, specifically with the cruelties of late-twentieth-century Western mating habits. The lonely, depressed computer programmer who narrates Houellebecq's first novel, Whatever (1994), has a theory about it:
Some men make love every day; others five or six times in their life, or never…. In a sexual system where adultery is prohibited, every person more or less manages to find their bed mate…. In a totally liberal sexual system certain people have a varied and exciting erotic life; others are reduced to masturbation and solitude.
The narrator of course belongs to the latter category, and it is the plight of these men, the ones who can't get a date, that preoccupies Houellebecq. The worst part of their condition is that they persist in trying. Bruno, a lonely, depressed bureaucrat in The Elementary Particles (1998), has no gift for seduction, yet "his only goal in life had been sexual." In this, Houellebecq adds, he "was characteristic of his generation"—the post-1968 generation who grew up in the liberal sexual system shaped by their parents and who are unhappily enslaved to the notion that sex is the most gratifying element of human existence. When Bruno has a good year, sexually speaking, it's because "the influx of girls from Eastern Europe had meant prices had dropped."
Houellebecq's characters think and talk volubly about their condition. They attribute their solitude to physical unattractiveness; they complain about the world's preoccupation with outward appearance. But this is the least convincing reason for their loneliness. Consider their problem this way: they have few family ties, few friends, and no gift for any kind of intimacy. Having left behind the somewhat richer social possibilities of university life and exhausted their small network of acquaintances and colleagues, they must go out and meet strangers every time they want to have sex. Not just meet them but talk to…

Montclair State to Offer BA in Journalism
Posted in: Center for Cooperative Media News, School of Communication and Media News
Montclair State University's School of Communication and Media will be adding a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism to its curriculum beginning in September 2014.
"Journalism is going through a dramatic transformation and our exciting new program is designed to prepare students for careers in emerging, new and traditional media," says School of Communication and Media Director Merrill Brown. "Our students will become the reporters, producers, documentary filmmakers and digital media creators of the future."
The Journalism major, which has been approved by the State of New Jersey Department of Education, combines a strong liberal arts education with a specialized curriculum that provides training in writing, reporting, research and interviewing techniques. The program will give students the tools and versatility which are needed to create and deliver content across print, audio, video and social media platforms. Elective courses, such as Filmmaking, Public Relations, Television and Digital Media, will allow students to expand upon their expertise.
"I'm really happy that I will be able to graduate with a degree in journalism," says Catherine Baxter, the first student to enroll in the new program. "When I told my parents about the journalism degree, they were very enthusiastic. They know it's what I want to do."
According to Brown, Journalism students will have many opportunities for hands-on media experience. The School's WiredJersey.com website gives students the opportunity to report and edit web content. They can also work at WMSC-FM, the University's on-campus radio station or contribute to The Montclarion, as Baxter does.
Brown adds that the new Journalism major is designed to meet the challenges of an evolving media landscape and generate a new vitality in the industry.
"The best opportunities for students will come from a faculty and University committed to reinventing the field," said Brown. "We intend to be at the center of this emerging revolution in news gathering and storytelling."

Talking to animals?
Posted 25 July 2007 - 07:08 PM
I'd like to know whether there are some people around that can talk to animals via photos. I know some people who say they could do that, talk to animals, I mean. And they often write down what they talked about with the respective animal.
I find that hard to believe, but I am not completely convinced of the impossibility of doing that. Now there is only one way for me to find out wether thats really possible - either I try it myself (don't think that would work, though) or find someone who says they can talk to animals and respectfully aks them to talk to one of my dogs. Mind you, that is not supposed to be a test or anything.
I'd like to be a believer but find myself too sceptical by nature to just accept the possibilty of human-animal conversation with a photo as one of the means of communication.
It would be easy enough for me to simply ask one of the people doing this conversation thing if they could talk to one of my dogs but the problem is: I'd never know if they were just guessing cleverly because all those people know quite a lot about me and my dogs.
Also, would it be possible to contact a deceased animal? Or would that be a disturbance of sorts?
Posted 25 July 2007 - 08:39 PM
I have never talked to a living animal, though I feel I know what my pets are thinking. It's kind of like how you know what your baby's individual cries mean (if you're a parent). When I come home from work they're saying---"you're home, you're home, we're so happy to see you!" But seriously, I know what you mean and I have heard there are people who can communicate with animals.
As far as contacting deceased pets; well I can tell you mine are around my house all the time. I'm sure many others on here will vouch for that. In fact my dog Chloe came by for a visit tonight as she does quite often. I also believe they greet us when we pass over to the next plane.
It's good to be skeptical. Don't apologize for it. We all have our beliefs and you'll find that no one here will try to convince you of anything. It is up to each of us to believe what we choose. GV is a great place to learn, debate, discuss, grow and make friends. I'm glad you're here. Just take note that there are many people with a lot of experience in these matters who have an awful lot of knowledge to share.
Enjoy getting to know everyone. Kira

As far as contacting them in the afterlife, I don't know how you could do that. I do know that a dog that I had from age 3 till age 20 didn't seem to go after dying. He used to wake me up in the morning and drag his leash over to my bed to tell me he needed to be walked. Well, after he passed away I frequently heard the sound his chain leash made dragging along the wooden floor of my bedroom. Several people visiting my place heard it as well. Then, certain objects that he often liked to get ahold of in life would go missing or be moved. I even woke up once from the feeling that something jumped on my bed, which he used to do all the time. As crazy as this all sounds, I actually tried to do the typical thing you see happening on TV shows about people who talk to the dead. I spoke to "him" and told him to go ahead and move on and to go towards the light if he can see it. I told him to go wait for me there and that I'd come to him eventually. And I honestly never heard the chain sound again. A few years later, I had another dog pass away and I would swear I kept seeing her out of the corner of my eye. So, I did the same thing and it seems to have worked.

As far as using pictures, I read that's how Koko was first trained. She was shown a picture, then taught the sign language for that object. Koko advanced on her own and can carry on conversations either in sign language or pointing at pictures. I don't know if non-primate animals are smart enough to progress that far (well, with the pictures anyways, since they can't sign).
I didn't lose my mind - I have it backed up on a disk ... somewhere

From my point of view the answer to your question might depend upon how we look at it. No, animals do not talk. That is they do not speak. Not the way we use speach. Quite apparent. They do communicate though. They communicate with one another and with us if we are listening. What ever level of understanding or ESP each of us might share with animals I think is a complicated process, one that is difficult to define. Just as with the human to human experience. Needless to mention is a process no one has been able to completely identify yet. I'm enclined to think that the gifts of exceptional experience are bestowed by grace, and are in proportion to our ability to perceive and to give in a spiritual sense. It seems logical to me that above all gifts of unique insights are not some thing we can will or force or achieve by means other than grace. Yet we all, on some level, can communicate with animals. Having a appreciation and attachment to animals I find that most small (and some large) animals do not fear me. Just last week while vacationing a chickmonk spent considerable time interacting with and entertaining me at me feet. The wild life in my yard (whom I feed of course) seem to be very comfortable with me. Birds fly about my head. Squirrels and chickmonks sit at me feet inquisitively examining me while I talk to them. The only time I have ever been stung by a bee, wasp, or hornet is when I mistakengly slapped them. Having dogs no doubt you understand the intimacy much like the intimacy we share with other (human) loved ones. It's not simply response to learned behavior that you and the animal can sense one another's needs and feelings. It is no chance that your dog knows when you will return home, even if you return at different times each day. It's not coincidence that dogs mourn, and know before humans of a death. The big things to keep in mind are that we receive in proportion to our capacity to give and receive. Some people are good at giving, but are closed where receiving is concerned; and that these exchanges cannot happen by force. They must happen naturally through grace. So be aware of the grace of the gift in interaction with animals that you possess. Awareness is a begining to greater understanding. What ever gifts we receive they are meant to develope naturally. Some times our gifts are subtle or transparent to others. That's okay. Where the many gifts of life are concerned just be aware and enjoy the ride.

If you've had a pet long enough, and pad enough attention, you can communicate on a certain level. This goes beyond the realm of simple tricks. One of my cats had a way of flicking her tail that meant she wanted to show us something. Another cat had 8 different vocal sounds. Each cat recognized its name.
I've been fortunate to have cats that do appear to understand certain phrases. Our youngest cat, Tatiana, comes when she's called 9 out of 10 times. Our other cat comes sometimes, but plays when we ask "who wants to play?". Both cats know when we're giving treats, as we often ask "who wants a cat treat?" and that brings them running so fast they're feline blurs. <grin>
She's just over 1 year old, and we've only had her since mid-March 2007.
She came to us shortly after we lost our near 17 year old cat to kidney failure, and our other cat, Osiris, was in a very deep depression and needing another cat companion. The two are the best of friends, and he's even closer with Tatiana than he was with Cuddlebug (our recently departed cat).
Cuddlebug was unusually smart - we'd ask her to go sit by the couch, and she would. She would also sit when asked (we don't command - cats don't like commands <g>), give kisses when asked, and even knew when I was talking to my mom on the phone, as she would take over and talk with my mom. We do feel her presence around every now and then - Osiris really knows when she's around, as he seems "distant" and oblivious to the current surroundings. When Cuddlebug's presence fades, he's back and totally alert.
So, do pets understand words? I think so. I'd really like to believe so. Every cat that has lived with us seems to understand human moods, too. When I'm sad about losing Cuddlebug, Tatiana comes up and puts her little front paw on my face and kisses me on the forehead. So totally worth it to have her in our lives.
What a wonderful topic!

This woman I asked to talk to my two (living) dogs claimed to have had extended mental contact with both of them, and she asked them the questions I had written down for her. For example "What do you like to do most?", "Are you happy?", "What scares you?",....
The answers she sent me after getting in touch with my dogs were quite stereotypical - the Border Collie Mixed breed loves to play "fetch the ball" (what a surprise ) and my tiny dog loves to run alongside the bike (she had never ever done that at the time so she wouldn't know what it is like and whether she'd really like it), my older dog is scared of being left alone,... things like that. So nothing important, really.
Also, at the end of last year, a dog in the neighborhood had gone missing. It had run off with the leash still attached to the collar. 2 oder 3 days after the dog had run off, an "animal communicator" was contacted and asked to help find the location of the dog - she gave quite precise hints as to where the dog could be found, described the feelings of the dog, what it was seeing,... the dog owner really believed in the "animal communicator", and a large number of people started searching for the dog in the described area. For days on end people were setting up food traps and the like, but the dog was nowhere to be seen.
4 days later, someone contacted the owner, telling her, that her dog had been run over by a train and immediately removed - about 30 minutes after it ran away.
So for me those "animal communicators" are a bunch of frauds, though I am sure that they mean no harm and actually do believe themselves able to contact animals through a spiritual connection.
Too bad, I would have loved to know what my dogs are thinking. Of course I can "read" their body language and interpret many of the meaningful glances they often direct at me, but it would have been nice to actually know what they are thinking. (Though I guess I even know that when it comes to my tiny dog, its usually about food-play-walks in that order )
Posted 31 January 2011 - 02:44 PM
I had my neice call me about two years ago and tell me that her boyfriends parents dog had run off along with the boyfriends dog. They had found his dog unfortunately he was hit by a car and did not survive. The other was a small white dog and they were desperately trying to find it. She knows about my abilities and asked if I could help. I told her that I would try. Then it started to come to me.
The message that came though was very clear. I told her to leave the driveway and turn left, go to a stop sign and turn left again. There was a street lined with huge trees and had many houses. The house was light yellow had a porch on the front. The trim was white and it had lattice work around the bottom also painted white. There was enough room for a dog to get under. I told her to look for that.
She called me about a half hour later and had found the dog in the exact spot. I was glad I could help.
I believe that when someone or something is in distress a message will get through much clearer in order to help.
Are you concerned for your dog's health or you just want to know in general?
I keep getting an image of a small short haired dog shivering. It's hair is a redish brown color. If it's your dog then you need to get a sweater for it to wear around the house and it will give comfort when you are not home.
Posted 31 January 2011 - 04:51 PM
I am mostly concerned for one of my dog's well-being. He is my older dog, 6 years old and unfortunately far from healthy. I would like to know if there is something special I could do for him that I haven't already thought of, or anything like that. I would also like to see him relax a bit - he is easily scared and often very stressed out due to his illness.
I have heard of similar situations as the one you just described - where the person contacting the dog really did get information that could not have been obtained by simple lucky guesswork.

Taylor Swift — Torn Between Two Guys! Will She Choose Cory Monteith Or Go Back To Taylor Launter?
Taylor Swift has openly expressed her love for the gorgeous Taylor Lautner. But now things are heating up with her and Cory Monteith! Who do YOU think she will choose?
Taylor Swift is totally torn between two of Hollywood's leading men! As you know, Taylor went bowling with Glee star Corey Monteith — but then had lunch with her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner the very next day!
But who will she choose? Her Twilight hunk of an ex Taylor L.? Or sweet, mature TV star Cory?
We have pulled together the comments about love and relationships from the country songstress for you to compare … and then decide!
Why Taylor Would Stay With Her New Man, Cory:
She loves his show: Taylor has said "I'm really loving [Glee] right now" about Corey's hit show on Fox.
Taylor wants to spend more time with Corey: She even said she'd love to be a guest star on the Glee! "If it did happen, I'd love to see what they would do with me."
He's an older guy: Corey is 27-years-old much older than Taylor L. who is only 18, and Taylor S. is 20! We at HollywoodLife.com think the age difference was the reason the two Taylors split!
Why Taylor Might Get Back With Taylor L:
She still thinks he's hot! When Elle magazine asked their April cover girl who she thought was the hottest guy in Hollywood she said,"Um, well … Taylor Lautner!"
They have nicknames for each other: "[Taylor Lautner] and I have gotten really close," she admitted to InStyle magazine in December. "It was confusing on the set [of the movie Valentine's Day] with two Taylor's in the same scene. They were like, 'Taylor, on your mark – no, not you, the other one!' So halfway through the shoot, I said, 'How about you guys call me Swifty and call him Taylor?' […]
She LOVED kissing him: "It was life-changing," she dished on the VMA red carpet in Sept 2009 about kissing Taylor in Valentines Day.
So, BFFs, you have ALL the info on how Taylor feels about these guys. Now YOU decide! Who should Taylor Swift choose?

Renaissance Faire 2009
It's been another fantastic day out at the Renaissance Faire. We were quite a few in the group moving around a really big area, so we had a lot of getting lost, reunited, lost again... the usual dynamics of a day like this. The types and characters participating were as interesting as last year, another good opportunity to pull out our sharpies, pencils, brushes and do stuff. So here are five pieces, the first group of guys in red was a lot larger but I only had the chance to draw three of them before another group of participants and visitors stood in the way, then, some jousting business offered another chance to have a go at drawing horses from different angles and, last but not least, one member of the dedicated audience that was to all the shows going on.

Rafel Vaquer / Johnny Roqueta
This is an illustration I did about two years ago for an exhibition showing works based on my friend's, Rafel Vaquer, popular comic book character "Johnny Roqueta". Well, since these shows are being held back in Europe unfortunately I have not been able to attend any of them, but for the news I get I can assure these guys are having serious fun getting together back home!

My first this year:
Alamo, CA 94507
Good size, maybe 1.5 footballs one foot from ground in a small shrub. Easy get.
Saw a couple guys pulling a swarm from a conifer tree in san jose on march 10th, 2011. About 12 feet off the ground.
zip 95125
Caught a small swarm yesterday (3/22/11) in Sacramento, CA. Conveniently located on a bush, 2' up. It was my first swarm!
3/28/11 swarm in Santa Maria, CA
2 friends hives swarmed in the last week.
March 27, 2011
Sacramento, CA
Approximately 4 pound swarm at state capitol grounds. In a camellia bush about 18 inches above the ground, taped off with caution tape. Nice easy capture, was not able to cut the branch but one good shake dropped the cluster into my nuke box.
Bout time I get to post in here, I've been jonesing for a hit!
Acampo, Ca (95220) 12:30, a beauty, currently in hive.
Galt (95632) yes, my hive finally popped at 1:00 and are camped out in a hive on my front porch.
Woodbridge (95258) at 1:25, this resulted in a trap out as they took up residence by the time I got there.
2 in the box and now a scheduled job.
I'll call that a nice start.
very large swarm in neighbors front yard.
Stockton, Ca 95210
MEANEST swarm I have ever dealt with! All I did was shake the branch to knock them in the box, I didn't drop them, but they were mad!
Got a swarm Tuesday, April 5 in Hacienda Heights, California, 91745.
It seems to be a good size swarm and is gathering lots of pollen and nectar. It moved into a Nuck that that I have been using as a swarm trap in the back yard. it sits behind my shed on a shelf about 5 feet off the ground. There was old comb in the box.
probably one of mine. Swarm was in the bee yard.
Yesterday, 4/6/2011 a large swarm came through the back pasture and landed on the lone almond tree I have there. Needless to say, I caught it, seems OK today. Zip 93230
El Dorado school in Stockton, CA 95206 4-7-11.
Got a call from a teacher at the school and as i was asking questions he asked "how much will this cost?" I told him I was not going to charge anything. He was like great! Then he ran in to red tape, principle concerned about different things such as "what if this guy gets injuried while on grounds" Of which he called the Superintendent's office. I also called the Super's office to try and speed up the process since I was on a deadline to go to my regualr job. When the Super called me back, he told me "the bees flew off already, but he wanted to hang on to my card for when more arrive, they get them every year and have been looking for a keeper for years. Told him no prob, call me anytime.
Well, I got a call from the teacher yesterday telling me that they (the school) sprayed them, they were all dead when he went out before before lunch that same day. He is going to try and get the news paper involved and wanted to know if he could give the paper my number if they pick up the article.
Watched one of my double decker nucs swarm today. After flying around a while they all returned to the hive.
Found the queen on the ground in front of the nuc, with a small cluster.
One swarm yesterday, 4/16 and one today 4/17, each one weighing about 4 lbs. Each in new homes out in the pasture. Weather has been upper 70's and sunny. 93230
4/14 Acampo 95220

4/15 Extraction out of a wall in Stockton
4/15 Swarm in an orchard in Lodi (picked up and moved on)

Another call yesterday, 4/20. 6 to 7 lbs about eight feet in a tree. Very easy catch. Weather was warm, mid 70's. 93230
Bees have new home out in pasture.
Got another call on Thursday as I was leaving for work for a swarm in a Bush in Lodi, they had been there 3 or 4 days already. I went down yesterday morning with the famliy, GOOD size swarm. My son geared up in his suit so he could help me out, he looked like an astronaut. He got to capture his first swarm at 6 years old and he had a blast doing it, wants to know when we are going out again? My daughter was there and took some great pics without gear, which was amazing since she said she'd never go on a swarm call again. My wife said I had a lot of bees on top of my head, since that one mean swarm where I got hit 20 times, I had my jacket and veil on. When I walked over to the car's mirror I had the entire dome of my head covered with bees. I shook them all off in front of the hive and watched them march into the hive.
One of my hive swarmed today - 4/24. I live in Palo Alto California.
Acampo, Ca 95220 (again)
I got there about 11 pm, the branch was about 5 1/2 ft off the ground. I walked up and cut the branch down and set it in a hive. With the cooler evening, I don't think I saw one bee fly. Probably about 5-6 lbs of bees.

There are ghosts at Kezar Stadium. The tiny sporting venue is a quaint little place nestled in the southeast corner of Golden Gate Park. Its warped wooden bleachers and nearby dilapidated pavilion with cramped locker rooms only hint at its illustrious past, when it was a near 60,000-seat bowl that once was home to the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders.
But the memories ooze out of the place, from the glory years of Y.A. Tittle's famed "Alley-Oop" Hail Mary to the free-love grooves of Grateful Dead concerts on countless foggy summer days. On Wednesday night, hopefully another ghost was put to bed: the fate-twisted paths that have tied two MLS franchises together.
The San Jose Earthquakes and Houston Dynamo may be forever linked. The orange army, after all, is the remnants of the former Quakes dynasty after the club moved to Texas following the 2005 season. The current Dynamo roster is still littered with former Earthquakes -- in fact, six of them were on San Jose's 2003 MLS Cup-winning squad.
The history here doesn't need repeating. Bay Area fans saw their team moved 2,000 miles east after a failed battle to get a stadium built. They then watched in disillusionment as their favorite players were immediately embraced by a new city, for whom the new Dynamo won two championships immediately. And you wonder why there's a natural rivalry. It's a bitter chapter in the annals of Major League Soccer.
But Wednesday night's friendly between old foes may have been a sign that everyone's healing, at least a little bit. The crowd wasn't huge -- barely more than 2,000 -- but they were respectful. That's a far cry from the last time the Dynamo and Earthquakes exchanged pleasantries at Kezar two years ago in another preseason game.
On that day, the wounds were still raw. One of San Jose's supporters groups led the crowd in expressing their disgust by letting the Dynamo -- their former heroes -- have it. For almost the entire 90 minutes, a good portion of the fans chanted, sang, jeered and threw all kinds of nasty insults at Houston. Some of the players recall the attacks as being far too personal.
"I loved the passion, and I totally understood," recalled defender Richard Mulrooney, who spent six seasons in San Jose. "But it definitely got a little ugly."
Midfielder Brad Davis, another ex-Quake, took it a little more personally. "We were utterly shocked," he said. "Like it was our choice to leave. We were like, what the hell? Some of these guys won championships for these fans."
Time heals all wounds, they say. It's been five years since the old Quakes left town, and three years since they were replaced by a new expansion team. Their paths have diverged in so many ways since then. Houston has wholeheartedly embraced the Dynamo, especially the club's Hispanic core fan base. Orange is a trendy color in Harris County, and the team -- though still resembling the old Quakes in many ways -- has its own identity, new investors and remains a perennial contender.
The new Earthquakes, meanwhile, are still a work in progress, still very much in a building mode in their third year and trying to find its own character with some old faces and some new ones. They've still got a stadium battle on their hands, but they've never been closer to landing a permanent home in the Bay Area.
The ties are still there, but the geography isn't. Houston's natural rival is FC Dallas, and most Quakes fans have re-focused their energy back to hating the L.A. Galaxy. And every year, more players who were part of that ill-fated final San Jose squad in '05 have moved on -- guys like Dwayne De Rosario, Ricardo Clark and Alejandro Moreno are far away.
"As time goes on, the players who were around after the move and are still here in Houston become less and less," Mulrooney pointed out. "I think that will help diminish the rivalry."
Rivalries in sports are great things, obviously. In a still-developing league like MLS, they're crucial. But they've got to be for the right reasons. Some Bay Area fans still aren't letting go of the bitterness they feel towards the Dynamo. One told MLSsoccer.com he'd hate Houston for as long as he lives, and those orange jerseys make him "sick." Another said that, although he still loves the former players, "The organization, they're jerks. I'll never respect them."
That's all well and good, and still understandable. Fans in both towns try to claim the Dynamo's 2006 and '07 titles as their own. Similarly, the current Earthquakes organization is under different ownership and management, yet it still claims the 2001 and '03 MLS Cup titles -- as do many of the current Houston players.
But it's time to let it all go. These are two different teams, with two new sets of challenges. Both clubs are trying to build their own stadiums and solidifying their fan base. Both just want to play soccer.
The scene at Kezar on Wednesday was a sharp contrast to February of '08. There was no buzz of a hated old team visiting a new team. Sure, the Ultras gave the Dynamo the rude treatment, but all in all, it was just a preseason soccer game: a bunch of MLS players without names on their backs trying to impress their coaches.
"Not all is really forgotten," Mulrooney said, "but I think things are on their way."
It's time to give up the ghosts and leave them with the other memories at Kezar Stadium. Besides, you'd like to think that somewhere, Jerry Garcia is a diehard Quakes fan.

Y'ulz. Been thinking about Google lately. Trying to figure out whether 2 be excited about the Nexus One, and just how excited I should get. Should I get so amped about the Nexus One that I bash my head against a wall until my skull cracks like an egg and blood seeps into my kaftan that I bought at Kalk Bay because it came all squashed like a brick (packaging gimmick), like the rest of Twitter (via herd-mentality)?
Should I ALLCAPS on my twitter about 'finally' and 'at last – the iPhone eater' (via a good downfall-gawk?)
Should I RT EVERYTHING about the Nexus so that ppl who follow me (& pay my 'social media salary') will think I am 'down with the latest developments in cellular technology' and that I am 'passionate about the future of technology' & not just mooching off my employer 2 get cheap prozac (thanks Discovery) which I will negate via drinking anyway because I am actually gay and Prozac 'don't make u straight'?
Y'ulz, truth is I don't know how to deal with the new contestant in the smartphone showdown. Just seems like I'd made peace with not wanting 2 'murder' the retards who buy Blackberries over iPhones (y'alls SERIOUSLY – can we just take a moment here).
Feel like we should look closely at the Nexus. From my first inspeksh seems quite ordinary. Wasn't 'grabbed' enough 2 take a second inspeksh so y'all enjoy:
2 quote gussilber,
"Wouldn't it be nice if Google came up with a phone that didn't look as if they'd just Googled an iPhone."
Just another smartphone y'ulz. Is really just confusing things for us plebs. This kind of reminds of that one time when Jack Welch decided 2 'save GE' (via investing more in plastics & pulling out in appliances). Does the arrival of the Nexus mean 'Search is Dead'? Are GoogleAdWords the new 'Book of the Dead'? What is Google trying 2 tell us y'ulz. Soooo confused. Just CANNOT comprehend why Googley would 'branch out into hardware'.
Scared y'alls. Something is looming in the Googley distance. Miss you Jack. You'd know which phone 2 buy that would 'see GE into the 21st century' (via your email synched with your twitter). Maybe if u had an iPhone / BlackBurr / Nexus you could have prevented the recesh.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal judge has rejected a request from the IRS to allow new regulations on hundreds of thousands of tax preparers to take effect while the issue is decided on appeal.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled last month that the IRS exceeded its authority by imposing a series of new regulations on tax preparers. The rules would require tax preparers who are not attorneys or certified public accountants to pass a competency exam and take annual continuing-education courses.
The IRS says the rules are needed to address a growing problem of poorly filed returns. Three independent tax preparers sued to block the regulations, saying they were onerous and put them at a competitive disadvantage.
Last Friday, Boasberg rejected an IRS request to delay his ruling pending a likely appeal.

By Emma Lacey-Bordeaux and Diane LaPosta
(CNN) – Peggy Cobb says since 1936 she hasn't missed a single presidential election.
[:35] "I've always been interested in politics and I have always, I have to tell you, I've always looked at both sides of the problem."
It's all part of how she was raised she says. Cobb, 97, is relentlessly upbeat and always seeking to learn new things. Call it a life motto.
[3:58 ]"Furnish your mind well and you will always have a comfortable place to live."
Cobb's positive attitude was put to the test recently when she tried to get the identification that Georgia requires for in-person voting.
Georgia is one of seventeen states that requires a state issued photo ID. The state offers this service for free and Cobb brought a slew of documents. But the process turned south quickly.
First, she had to get her birth certificate. She got the document with little effort, only to hit another obstacle: the name on her birth certificate didn't match other documents.
[2:48] "They said I needed my marriage certificate. For 63 years, 63 years Peggy V. Cobb has been, but they said there's no bending the rules."
But even the marriage certificate wasn't enough.
[3:08] "A friend of mine picked me up and I went down with everything and then we did get a low blow because everything was in order and she said your social security number doesn't comply with our system."
That's when Cobb nearly gave up. But she says she thinks this will be her last presidential election so, with help from a friend, more documents, and more waiting, she finally got her ID.
Georgia's Secretary of State was contacted for comment on Cobb's story but they have not yet responded.
So now that she's able to vote, which candidate will she choose?
[4:18] "For on the record, I'd just rather not say, if that's OK."
Editor's Note: Listen to the complete story in the player above.
Sounds like she was smart enough to follow the law. If she can do it, why can't everyone else?
Gotta say I love Michigan's system that benefits neither party. Voter ID law in place, but sign an affidavit saying you don't have one and you swear you are who you are under penalty of perjury, and you're allowed to vote alongside everyone else. Of course, you had to register to vote, so there isn't much chance for fraud there anyways. No early voting, if you can't make it to polls on election day, you vote absentee ballot (simple and easy to get and fill out, I actually have done most of my voting in the state via absentee because of the time I spent in college 8 hours from home), which are counted right alongside every other ballot.
Keep it simple. No need to go crazy about voter ID when you have voter lists anyways, no need to keep polls open for a month before election day because it increases odds your supporters might make time to go vote.
This was a good story but not presented as well as it could have been. I recommend less narration and more direct audio from the subject to tell her own story. I assume that most of the trimming and voice-overs were a result of time constraints, but the overall quality of this piece suffered as a result.
naturally like your web site but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the truth on the other hand I'll definitely come again again.
Living in Iowa for the 1-1/2 to 2 years prior to a presidential election drives me crazy, you just have to trust me on that 😉 but voting in Iowa has always been (voting since the 70s) easy and actually even pleasant. A big thank you to all the "old church people" as my daughter calls them (we vote in a local church about 5 blocks away, again easy peasy) for your time to keeping Iowa a nice place to vote 🙂
Me too.
Are you really stupid enough to think that anyone would read that? Seriously, the only people that leave messages like that in response to news articles are brutally psychotic.
I thought the bureaucrats in India were worse – these people in Georgia giving a 97 old a run around for name that doesn't match.
I never faced such an issue in NY – what's going on?
Seriously? It's real simple, bring your birth certificate and social security card as well as a marriage certificate if you changed your name once married to prove that you are whom you say that you are so that you can receive a government ID. What is so complicated or unreasonable with that?
She was treated as others would have been. Just because she is old doesn't mean she gets special treatment.
Donna, let's hear you say the same thing when you turn 97 if you have to go through the same thing.
Well done, Peggy! I hope everyone who faces such obstacles will be as tenacious as you are and insist on their right to vote in this election. And shame on the bureaucrats who are making it more difficult than it needs to be.
What this article does not tell you is that all document requirements for the State ID are posted on the web at http://www.dds.ga.gov/secureid/accepteddocs.aspx
What it also does not tell you is that these requirements are not state requirements, they are required by FEDERAL law in accordance with the REAL ID Act of 2005, which the article conveniently fails to mention. What it also doesn't mention is that there were two Democrat Controlled Congresses since then that could have changed this law so if any Liberal wants to blame the Republicans for this, try again. You just don't want to go there.
wd...was it necessary for you to slam "liberals"???
Voter ID laws are controlled by the States. That's why there is no consistancy and why these Republican Governors have been able to take voter suppression to a new level by putting in place these crazy rules and restrictions that serve no purpose other than to make it very hard for some targeted groups of people to vote.
Miss Peggy,
Thank you for casting your vote in this election! Your generation paved the way for all of us, it's wonderful to know that there are still those with us that take such pride in this American process.
Your quote; "Furnish your mind well and you will always have a comfortable place to live." I love it and so very true. I'm afraid that many today have starved their minds to the point that they are no longer able to think with any sort of logic.
Very best to you and your family. A special thanks to the person(s) who helped Peggy get her papers in order.
In my home state of Minnesota, the republicans are trying to pass Voter ID. They claim there are thousands of cases of "fraudulant voters" ... Only 2 were proven credible.. It is disgusting how they want to instill this unrealistic fear .. they are fear mongers. I cannot stand it.
Id recognize you anywhere...LOL...Hi Emily! 😀
Same type of woman...different story. My mother is a white 86 year old woman who has voted every election since she turned 21. She has never driven so has never had a drivers license. She had no gripes or complaints about getting a picture ID. Yes, she knew she would have to present documentation, so she asked me to help her get everything in order. I did so, gladly. My brother took her to get the ID, which she got at the DMV. She was excited to have her own ID that "looked like a drivers license". She also said she was happy to present proof that she was who she says she is....
Just out of curiosity, how did she not have an ID? Did she never need to cash a check, show ID at the doctors office, get a library card, get on a plane, show ID when using a credit card, apply for a job or any of that? Even at the doctor's office, I have to show ID with my insurance card.
I hope this is a wake up call for good folks in GA. A 97 year old WHITE, middle class lady has been denied voting, ironically, by policies meant to suppress voting by the colored, poor, and economically disadvantageed folks. Republic doublespeak on voter-id issue is plain BS for anyone to see.
so true, couldn't of said any better myself. "Now" if it was a Mitt Romney voter then who cares, shes 97 this is no longer her fight or battle it's the young Americans battle.
First of all Peggy wasn't denited voting. It was probably a little frustrating, but she got her ID so she can vote. And accusing voter supression is just stupid and unfounded. Georgia's voter ID law was in effect in 2008, and their was record minority turnout. And how much effort did it take CNN to find ONE 97 year old voter who had any difficulty. And the difficulty was because her Birth Certificate didn't match her other paperwork. One 97 year old voter who still got her ID is hardly evidence of voter supression. And she didn't tell us who she was going to vote for. Just for fun lets assume it was for Gov Romney, not Obama. Most elderly White voters are voting for Gov Romney this election. What good does it do for her to vote at all if 10 illegal immigrants, or 10 dead people are able to cast votes for Obama fraudulently if NO ID were required. Her vote would be wiped out 10X over. Obama and Democrats aren't worried about voter supression. Clearly anyone with a desire to vote, who doesn't have an ID which is almost nobody, has had plenty of time and opportunity to get an ID. Obama and the democrats aren't really worried about voter supression which is non-existent. They are worried the system being closed to fraud which they are counting on in close states to put them over the top! FYI....Obama voted early in Chicago...and they asked for his ID which he gave them with NO Argument. That was his home state and home city where the dead are known to rise by the tens of thousands on election day to vote?
I couldn't have said it better! I can't wait for the Voter ID law to pass in Pa!!
"who doesn't have an ID which is almost nobody"
What about legal immigrants, or those who's IDs expired recently, ect...
In fact, I know a few people without photo IDs, because they don't drive or drink or smoke.
And the main cause of no photo ID? Young voters who are eligible to vote, but haven't gotten an ID yet.
"They asked for his ID which he gave them with NO Argument."
Because it was the law. He's not going to argue against the law at the polls, he argues against the law where it actually makes a difference.
"And accusing voter supression is just stupid and unfounded."
So is accusing voter fraud. Illegal immigrants have to register to vote just as you do. That takes legal documentation, and an SSN. Illegal immigrants won't risk that.
"or 10 dead people are able to cast votes"
That has actually become so difficult that I doubt it would occur much at all. When a death certificate is issued, they let the government know. The government then marks it as such and removes them from voting registration. There are actually stories of people having to jump through hoops to re-register because they were wrongfully pronounced dead. There are a few loopholes, but so few people fall into those categories that i doubt many politicians would even attempt this.
I will say though, that both sides do have an argument, and that it's a difficult decision either way. However, there are much better ways to argue your side then to spew nonsense.
It took a shorter period of time to find an individual impeded in registering to vote than it took to identify cases of voter fraud in Georgia.
So asking someone to show ID to prove who they are is now a racist act and against the poor? OK, got it. Darn those racist airports, banks, traffic cops, credit issuing co's, libraries, gyms, convenience stores, department stores, military, hospitals, apartment leasors, electric co's, phone co's, etc. .. Eugene, have you been a moron your whole life, or is this something you recently acquired? Lose the race card schmuck, it has been played out.
Here in Iowa they've spent millions of dollars to try find illegal voters. So far they've only found 5. Two Canadians, one Mexican, and two convicts. And they're not pressing charges against them. Being an agricultural state we have tons of illegal immigrants, but they're not stupid enough to try to bring attention to themselves by voting. As far as I can tell this is an "issue" that was created for purely political reasons and isn't at all based on reality. As an Iowa taxpayer, I want those millions of wasted dollars back and funnelled into something more productive like education.
Finally, a rational response. To vote, illegals would have to actually register beforehand, which does require legal documentation. I doubt many would even try to risk it.
who's ever idea was to spend 5 million to find 5 illegal votes needs to be terminated from there positions immediately, no questions ask, fire everyone you had a part in this idea, they corrupt our government and cost tax payers there hope a dreams.
Bingo , here in Wisconsin , the Repulinuts spent several million to find two ex-cons that voted. Shame .... on you.
I think everyone is missing the point. This is what you get when dealing with a government entity. Someone should have listed what documents were needed before she ever started the process.
Why would we ever want the government in charge of more stuff?
If you're insisting that one or the other of the candidates is going to help reduce the government, then you haven't been listening. Obama wants to keep the federal government strong, and Romney wants to simply shift more governmental responsibilities to the state governments. Whenever Romney says "I'm going to cut X", what he also says is that states should be responsible for it, instead of the federal government. Yes, his plan will reduce federal income taxes, but it will force states to either make even MORE budget cuts, or raise taxes much higher. Either way, Obama or Romney, the amount you pay in taxes probably won't change much.
Vote for whoever you believe in, because in the end, the quick drastic change you want won't come quickly or drastically either way. It's a long slow process, just as it always has been. Stop looking for shortcuts.
Cypress! Stop it!! Too many rational posts and you'll open the portal to Dimension X and Krang will rule us all!! Seriously, though, I agree with a lot of what you say. Just let me point out that in ND, you don't have to register to vote–but then, their justification is that they poll workers know everyone in their district, so an illegal immigrant wouldn't be able to slide by their eagle eyes anyway.
I feel bad it was so much trouble for her, but in California they are NOT allowed to ask you to show your ID, i wonder how many people are not actually citizens that show up to vote. What's the number on illegals in the US ? hmm, could matter in a tight election.
Yes, because California is going to be affected so much by republican illegal immigrants to matter in the presidential election to possibly turn red. [/sarcasm]
Most contested states have very low illegal immigrant numbers.
And can you give me one reason why illegal immigrants would want to risk registering to vote? Sure you can go in and vote without an ID, but you still have to register. I doubt they'd risk it, especially because you have to give information such as your SSN. Seriously, wake up and think about what you're saying before you say it.
I had the same problem with my 73 year old mom this June in Mississippi. There is one list published by the state of what you need to get an id, a different list when you actually get to the DMV, and a couple of rules that aren't written anywhere but that you've got to follow if you want the crotchety DMV clerk to give you a state id. It certainly felt like disenfranchisement in action to me.
Can we please be serious? Everyone has 4 years to get a ID. She seems like she gets out of the house.
And I thought '4' years with a False Charges and a Restraining Order was a Long Time. I can't imagine being under investigation for 97 Years. Cheers to you..........................
Will someone please tell me where is the proof that millions of illegal vote? The fact that people illegally vote was proven to be less that .01% in one study. If people are voting while deceased, that's something that state can proactively start deterring now.. Whenver a death certificate is issued why can't the state just forward the information to the voting registrar to the counties in the state? It wouldn't stop people who are registered to vote in other states, but it would catch some. So if some people are worried about this particular scenario, write to the politicians in your area and suggest that they start a database to do just that.
There is no proof, what you cited is the true amount, .01%. This is a republican scare tactic. I believe that one should have an ID to vote. But the governments should provide these IDs at no charge and should have to facilitate all the processes.
Anybody remember ACORN?? Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and all the same signatures on the registeration forms.
Guess not
She has paperwork from her marriage but no ID, then don't vote, I would rather have a few Americans miss out on voting than have the possibility of millions of illegals voting.
So where are all those millions voting? Proof, buddy, PROOF. Anyone can spout BS on an anonymous forum.
Wow they cut down on all the illegals voting by cutting the days for early voting.
The last time I checked 97 year old's don't go around renting cars, most don't use credit cards and If they make it out the the house alone their bank knows them !!!
You and people with your mind set are what's wrong with this nation. She is one of the few remaining from "The Greatest Generation" and you would keep her from her right to cast a vote based on GOP lies. So very, very sad...
I bet she comes up with ID when she goes to the bank, this is nothing more than an attempt to make it so illegals can vote.
Rent a car, rent a movie, go to the bank, use a credit card all of this and more requires an ID
I'll bet the bank doesn't make her jump through so many hoops. And you're delusional if you think ANYONE works to allow illegals to vote. You're delusion if you think illegals will risk deportation to vote. YOU'RE JUST PLAIN DELUSIONAL!!
And to think they allow you to vote! Please get a clue, you have bought into the lies that rule the GOP!
All of the people I know who are in their 90's do not rent movies, do not rent cars, do not use credit cards (by the way credit cards are a bad example – you can get one via mail and NEVER prove you are who you say) and most have banked at the same location for so long everyone knows them and they don't have to show ID.
I am a recovering paraplegic whose valid fl. driver's license was due to expire a couple of months ago. I had to produce a birth certificate 5 years ago to get it. I was told that to exchange it for a state required I.D. card to vote I'd have to provide it again. They didn't recognize my original Social Security card from when I was 12 years old. Altogether I (quite literaly sans hyperbole) spent three full days, at least eight bus rides, and about 15 to 20 miles in my wheelchair to satisfy these draconian I.D. requirements. Prosecute with the burden of proof fraudulent voters all you like with the burden of proof on the accusers as it should be, but get get big brother off of my aching back!
I think it is very interesting that the GOP driven attempt to disenfranchise voters though ostensibly "to root out voter fraud," led to the uncovering of fraud perpetrated by GOP voter registration outfits – they tossed out info on voters they didn't want registered.
It has to do with democrats voting 2, 3 ,4 times and people that should not vote in the election that are here because the broke in to the country. ID should have always been a requirement. You can't get a library card without proper ID.
Easy Chaos, you are stating facts, and the bed wetting libs cant stand the true facts. Anyone saying they dont have a photo ID in 2012 is either a liar, an illegal, or has been in a coma for the last several years. It is a pathetic excuse to allow voter fraud.
You need to add 97 year old women to your list of people who may not have a photo ID. My grandmother gave up driving at 72. Had she lived we would have had this issue with her as her state issued ID had expired 15 yrs. ago. BTW, she was born at home and never was able to produce a birth certificate.
If the GOP feels there is such a problem that they would keep the last of this generation from voting because of long gone records of their life they should make provisions for those over 75 or something. This generation made the nation what it is today – well, not today that was President Bush and his failed policies – what it was in 2000!
Can you imagine the number of "DEAD" people that will no longer be able to vote when you actually have to show identity documents. I agree that only ONE acceptable document is unreasonable but something needs to be done to remove the 1000's of DEAD people that vote every year. Last election they found people who had been DEAD for 50 years still voting. Perhaps you need to rethink your definition of "crooked politicans" when it comes to this issue.
Funny I've never heard of these "thousands of DEAD people" who vote in our elections. The news doesn't name them .The Federal Gov't doesn't make a fuss about it. I'm more concerned about the thousands of LIVE people who won't be able to vote because of these ridiculous rules.
So according to Ca liberal, having to prove your identity is a "rediculous rule"!?!? Really man, Im guessing you havent got on an airplane, got a library card, driven a car, bought alcohol or smokes, cashed a check, used a credit card, joined a gym, or done countless other thing that people do every day in this country??? What is the one thing in common? Yes you know, you have to prove who you are via a legit photo ID. So your post holds no water, just more democryte talking points to encourage voter fraud. Now go hug your tree.
Please site your source for THOUSANDS of dead people voting. The only thing I can find as far as research are the wild stories told on FOX. I can't find records of court cases of voter fraud on any large scale. However, I can give you reference in the state of FL where THOUSANDS were on a perg list that was proven invalid and had to be tossed. When it was redone by a non-partician orginization there were less than 200 that needed to be cleared.
This is only one reason why I left the Republican party and why I voted a straight Dem ticket this year. First time in my life I voted a straight ticket – rather sad that the very people who would have loved my vote as an Independent could not win my trust.
There should be a national system not this patchwork of states \coking up their own rules to suit themselves. It's too important to leave to the states and their unprofessional and partisan systems. After the dust has settled, the US Gov't should design ONE system for everyone, and if they want voter ID, you have a year to get it, and 4 years before a Pres. election. The rules for getting the ID should be EASY AND CLEAR, not umpteen hoops to jump through. I am more thatn sick of all this!
Amen to pensimmon: I agree voting is a NATIONAL right and there should be one consistent system for everyone, across states. Individual state governments (certain governors in particular) that manipulate voting systems are unfairly (and probably illegally) doing so to skew outcomes to benefit their particular political party and don't really care about doing their civic duty of encouraging people to vote.
In case you missed the not so subtle point, it is okay to allow 20+ million illegal aliens to corrupt our system by voting, then to take the time to clear up a bureaucratic mix up with one single voter.
That was your takeaway from that story? Dear lord, I don't know where you live, but 20 MILLION illegals voted in a U.S. election?? Where pray tell?
We have someone so ignorant they can't use Google to learn we have 12 million undocumented people. I use undocumented to show the contempt I feel towards conservative anchor babies who did or sacrificed nothing to get here other than dropping of of a warm womb. We have these lazy conservatives who do nothing but whine about how much they hate paying for our nation and how much they hate our government. Conservatives can compete for jobs against people would have five years of education who can't speak English. Each political party has observers at the polls. For you conservatives, an observer looks for voter fraud. Fraud means misrepresenting yourself. I know this is a complex idea for the conservative ""mind" to grasp. There as never been large scale voting fraud.
It's a shame that people who have voted their entire lives are being denied the right to vote by crooked politicians in the election process. It's interesting that in the state of Colorado, one can not obtain a driver's license even with a notarized birth certificate, but they will accept a DD 214 which only means that you're in or were in the military but may not be a naturalized citizen. Yes, they refused my notarized birth certificate but did accept my DD214, but the military did accept the same notarized birth certificate way back during Nam.
Yeah, but I couldn't use my DD214 as proof of identity to board a plane. The guy at the TSA stand had no clue what that document was, either! That was almost as good as when I had my IRR Military ID card and the guy at the INS booth had no clue what it was.
The time in the booth will be special. Quite admirable that she took the effort to get the right to vote. And, a pity that some
elected officials seem to have so much fear that voters will actually vote.

On the anniversary of T's death, his four friends meet for a game of pool and a few drinks… Can they put to rest their guilt over his untimely death? Will their friendship survive the final betrayal? Over the course of one night and a game of pool, secrets are revealed and allegiances shift as quickly as drinks are downed.

We are proud to present the world premiere of Ishy Din's razor-sharp new play. Snookered first emerged when he took part in a Tamasha Developing Artists New Writing course in 2008, it was further developed by Tamasha and performed as a work-in-progress at the Gate Theatre as part of Propeller in 2010. Ishy has been recently awarded a Pearson Playwrights Bursary 2012.
Tamasha gratefully acknowledges financial support from The Jerwood Space for subsidised rehearsal facilities, The Fenton Arts Trust, The Mercers' Company and The Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust for their initial support of Snookered.
Snookered contains strong language and adult themes.

Heading out for ice cream? Do your homework first! We've got lots of good info for you...
DO K.I.S.S. -- keep it simple, silly! Basic flavors are the safe way to go. If it's got hunks of peanut butter and candy pieces in it, chances are the calorie count is higher than the less flashy flavors. And keep your serving small -- even fat-free ice cream typically has at least 100 calories per half cup, which is NOT a lot of ice cream. No need to overdo it...
DON'T go for the big cones. The problem isn't just the amount of ice cream they can hold. (Though that is an issue!) The cones themselves contain a considerable number of calories. Oversized waffle cones typically have around 160 calories and 4g fat each... and that's for the PLAIN ones. The ones that are dipped in chocolate and other goodies tip the scales with 200+ calories and up to 15g fat! And remember, that's before the ice cream...
DO indulge in a small cake cone or sugar cone. Just as the too-large cones are dangerous because they can hold too much ice cream, small cones are fantastic because they can only hold so much! Plus, the calorie counts are nice and low. Cake cones, the flat-bottomed ones, generally have 20 - 25 calories, and standard sugar cones have 45 - 60 calories a pop.
DO scope out alternative options. Yes, you're at an ice cream shop, but there may be other treats worth considering! Soft-serve fro yo? Go for it. Sorbet? Sweet! Just check the nutritional stats to make sure your choice is a good bet.
DON'T get crazy with the toppings. Those things can get you into TROUBLE. Just because you got a scoop of super-light ice cream, that doesn't mean that piling on candy, cookies, and gooey syrups won't affect the stats in a big way. Fresh fruit toppings, however, are always a good choice!
DO gather ideas for later. Sure, that hot-fudge brownie sundae on the menu may be a calorie catastrophe, but that doesn't mean you can't re-create it at home... guilt-free, of course!
Best Options: The magic words? BRight Choices! There's Fat-Free Vanilla Frozen Yogurt, Caramel Turtle Truffle Reduced-Fat No Sugar Added Ice Cream, and Pineapple Coconut Reduced-Fat No Sugar Added Ice Cream. A small order has only 80 - 120 calories. And don't discount the Kids Vanilla Soft Serve Cone -- only 130 calories and 4.5g fat! Shocker: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sundae -- sharing this with a friend or two does NOT make it an okay selection. It has 990 calories, 43g fat, and over a HUNDRED grams of sugar!
Click for Nutritional Info!
Best Options: The lightest options are the no-sugar-added vanilla ice cream, fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt, orange sherbet, and (how good does this sound?) watermelon sherbet. Each of these has 160 - 170 calories per scoop. Shocker: While the 5-scoop Super Sundae and 12-scoop Giant Crowd Pleaser are clearly nutritional nightmares, the item that REALLY haunts our dreams? The Hunka Chunka PB Fudge Lava Cake Sundae, with 1,140 calories and 70g fat. Even if you share it with three friends, that's still 440+ calories and more than 25g fat. ACK. Click for Nutritional Info!
Best Options: Here we HIGHLY recommend the Vanilla Greek frozen yogurt, which has 150 calories and 4g fat per half-cup scoop. Also great are the sorbets, with 110 calories or less per half-cup scoop. Shocker: What's most shocking to us is the fact that the sundaes and shakes are NOT listed on the nutritional information page. BOO. But we do know which ice cream flavors to avoid. The What a Cluster flavor has 290 calories and 18g fat and both the Coconut Seven Layer Bar and New York Super Fudge Chunk have 270 calories and 16g fat per half-cup scoop. No thank you... Click for Nutritional Info!
Best Options: The Sinless ice cream -- Cake Batter, Banana, and Sans Fat Sweet Cream. Each "Like it" serving has 170 - 210 calories and 0 - 1g fat. There's also a fantastic array of fat-free sorbet selections (Pink Lemonade, Watermelon... Strawberry Mango Banana!) with 140 - 240 calories per "Like it" serving. Cold Stone also has a BUNCH of fro-yo flavors with impressive stats. Shocker: If you order a "Like it" portion of regular Cake Batter ice cream with a mix-in of brownies and pecan pralines, that li'l cup will contain about 710 calories and 46g fat!!! We're not saying that's the worst thing you can order -- we're saying that it's easy to get into trouble, even with the small servings. Click for Nutritional Info!

i spend so much time online, and the more time i spend online the more cool stuff i find, and the more cool stuff i find the more fragmented my time spent in any given place becomes. i've resolved to make a concerted effort to document more of the things that inspire me, for whatever reason. starting with this rad sofa box i found at swissmiss:
ffffound.com is an image bookmarking site i like to frequent for sheer viewing pleasure, or what i call a Brain Massage. some gems include:
and then i see that Courvoisier is kicking their latest branding efforts up a notch by collaborating with urban/skate / hip hop brand LRG this (USA) spring. some of the awesomeness includes these branded gadgets – iPhone and BlackBerry. mmm, me please.
thanks NotCot.
i also came across this article on a speech given by Bill Cosby on how to combat racism, and i find it pretty inspiring. as someone who lives in a racially charged country, it's refreshing to hear someone speak from a rational place on the topic.

Kaine to stay on as Democratic National Committee Chairman
Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine said Sunday that he plans to stay at the helm of the national party another two years because that's where President Obama wants him to serve.
"My agreement with the president is I was going to do what he wants me to do," Kaine said on CNN's "State of the Union." "And what I know sitting here today is he wants me to continue in this spot and that's what I'm going to do with excitement, you know, traveling all around the country, going through the TSA lines like everybody else, going out and being the president's advocate and promoter. And it's a wonderful job and I intend continue it."
Kaine, the former governor of Virginia, was tapped by Obama in January 2009 to serve as the head of the DNC. Obama campaigned for Kaine's gubernatorial bid in 2005; two years later, Kaine became the first major elected official outside of Illinois to back Obama's White House bid. He also was on Obama's vice presidential shortlist in 2008.
Late last year, Politico reported that senior Democratic officials were floating the possibility of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs succeeding Kaine as DNC chairman, with Kaine potentially in line for a Cabinet job. At the time, the White House pushed back against the speculation and a Kaine aide noted that the chairmanship is a four-year term.
The Republican National Committee is slated to elect its next chairman later this month. Five candidates are vying to unseat chairman Michael Steele; all of the contenders are slated to face off for the first time Monday in a debate at the National Press Club.

Under Kane's leadership Democrats gave up too much ground. Losses of that magnitude didn't happen under Howard Dean. On a separate note, I worry about people, those who vote with emotions, who think that it's the Democrats causing them pain. The pain people are suffering is because of the mess the GOP caused from 2000-2008.

Kaine as DNC Chair is f%^*ING joke. Why not dig up the corpse of Larry O'Brien and appoint him to the job, he's only been dead for twenty years and would likely do a better job than that lazy SOB Kaine.
