Here's a fun little thread. You can come back and post again later. Just hit "reply" and click cntrl-V. What's in your copy & paste right this second? No changing! Great way to get a glimpse into people's souls, like going through their garbage. No cheating! You have to put whatever is there right now. I'll go first.
I do have some concern about my speed of drawing. I'm faster than when I started but I still don't feel really fast. So another thought I had was that I would offer a few locals a chance to pose for me ahead of time. For a limited number of people who are willing to volunteer, I'll do your image for free. All I ask for is a promise that you will order a t-shirt and wear it to Porcfest to help promote my table.

Moving Your Stuff
Moving your stuff becomes a lot easier if you get rid of a lot of your stuff. Look at all of your possessions and figure out what you can get rid of. Then look to get rid of some more.
Sell the good stuff. www.ebay.com www.craigslist.org
Have a yard sale. Not only will you get rid of stuff but you will come up with extra cash. Give the stuff you don't sell away. If you can't give it to people you know - there are many charities that will take it. If you can't give it away throw it out.
Packing your stuff
Pack everything so it can survive being dropped. This means in boxes or containers. Boxes should have tops and be taped shut. Watch the weight of the boxes. Pack heavy things in the smallest possible box. Every box should be light enough for anyone to carry. More light boxes are easier to move and it is less likely that the contents will get damaged.
Use clothes, towels, linens, pillows, and other soft things as padding for more delicate items.
Organize,clean and dust everything before you pack it. It will save space during packing, and a lot of time unpacking. It will also give you another opportunity to get rid of things before you move. If you just throw stuff in boxes it will come out of the box in worse shape than when it went in.
Finding boxes
Ask your friends if they have sources for free boxes.
Copier paper boxes are a great size if you can get them.
Wine boxes and smaller boxes are good for books.
Grocery stores are a good source. You will have to get an employee to set them aside. If you call the store they will often set them aside for you. Don't try to go in the dumpster as most of them are locked these days.
If you have to pay for boxes get document boxes from Staples instead of buying "moving" boxes.
Small plastic totes are great for small heavy stuff with a lot of parts.
Large tubs are great for moving clothes on hangers and large linens like comforters and pillow tops for beds.
Often times you can get packing materials from the people you are getting the boxes from. If need be newspapers work well. They will leave ink on stuff so you will want to wash your dishes when you unpack them.
When you pack the boxes you are going to want to know what is in each box.
You can mark each box with a number and keep a list of the contents by box number.
I like to mark the boxes to what room they go in the new place. You can use a number or color system for each room. Example: boxes marked in blue go in the kitchen. Then label the room when you arrive so people now where to put the boxes.
Do not write the contents of the box on the box. You don't want anyone interested in the contents while you are traveling to your new home.
Packing things that come apart.
When you break down a piece of furniture keep all the small parts with the piece of furniture. They should be in a container that is labeled according to what piece of furniture it is for. Example: Nuts and bolts to a table get packaged in a ziplock bag labeled "dining room table" and taped to the underside of the table top. There is nothing worse than not being able to find all the specialized parts to something.
All cables should be packed with the items they are for and be labeled accordingly.
All the tools needed for everything to be reassembled should be packed together and be one of the very first things off the truck.
First things off the truck
Your cleaning supplies including cleaners, mops, brooms, and the vacuum should also be the first things off the truck. Have several days worth of clothes packed seprately from the rest of your clothes so you have something to wear the first couple of days after the move.
Have toliet paper, towels, soap, sponges, and other stuff for the bathroom readily available.
Have paper plates, cups and plastic knives and forks to get through until the kitchen is unpacked. Also have enough on hand for the move-in party.
Make sure you can find your bedding. Even if you don't have the bed assembled, you can at least sleep on clean sheets with a pillow on the matress.
Moving trucks
If you are going to hire a moving company keep these tips in mind:
Obtain the brochure "Ready to Move?" and the booklet "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" from the mover.
Ask for recommendations from neighbors, friends, and relatives regarding the mover.
Check with the Better Business Bureau regarding the mover.
Find out what the mover's responsibilities are for damages that may occur to your belongings.
Ask if the mover has a dispute settlement program.
Obtain estimates from at least three movers, and compare costs of all services to be provided by the mover.
Check to determine whether the interstate mover is registered with FMCSA, and has a USDOT number.
Find out how and when pickup and delivery of your household goods will occur.
Ask the mover how they can be contacted before the move, during the move, and after the move.
Adequately insure your belongings.
Moving Day
Be present to answer questions and give directions to the movers. Stay until they finish.
Accompany the movers as they inventory your household goods, and resolve any questions regarding the condition of materials being moved.
Carefully read the information on the estimate, order for service, bill of lading, inventory, and all other completed documents before you sign them.
Keep the bill of lading until your goods are delivered, the charges are paid, and any claims are settled.
Before the moving van leaves, take one final look throughout the house to make certain nothing has been left behind.
Give the driver directions to your new house.
Inform the driver and the moving company of where you can be reached during the move.
Delivery Day
Be present to answer any questions and give directions.
Pay the driver, according to the terms of your agreement, before your goods are unloaded.
Supervise unloading and unpacking of your goods.
Note on the inventory list all boxes or other items that are damaged before you sign any document.
Renting a Moving Truck
DO NOT USE U-HAUL. We have a large number of horror stories, and the latest was a main reason we wanted to write this article to warn others. A simple Google search will find plenty of other's stories, but we'll be listing our own here. We recommend Penske, Ryder, Budget, and others, and if any of those other companies want a lot of rental business, they should let us know by offering a discount to our participants.
Book your rental as far in advance as possible. I suggest reserving it when you know the date you will move even if you don't know exactly where you are moving to. It is easy to cancel a reservation. It is very hard to get a rental last minute on the weekend you need it. Get a confirmation number for the rental and double check the reservation a couple of days before you pick it up.
You can reserve a dolly for appliances and blankets to pad stuff with when you make your truck reservation. The cost is very reasonable.
Before you sign off on the rental contract make sure you go over the truck and check for damage, dings and anything wrong with the truck. Check to make sure all the lights are working. This is very important if you are towing a car. If you don't note the damages to the truck when you get it you may get fined for them when you drop the truck off.
Things to keep in mind when you pack the truck
Sweep out the truck before you load anything in it. They are usually quite dirty.
Evenly distribute the weight along the entire truck. You don't want all the heavy stuff only in the front of or only in the back of the truck. If you distribute it evenly it is much safer and easier to use the brakes while driving it.
If some thing might tip over and get damaged in the truck it will. Everything shifts in the truck while you are driving. Use lots of padding to prevent scratches and strap anything you don't want to move down. Most trucks have rails in the inside for this purpose.
Move in day
The Welcome Wagon would like to help you when you arrive.
If you want to talk to someone you can call any of the regional contacts or Margot Keyes who is the Welcome Wagon coordinator.
603-736-8877
If you would like help moving in please check the calendars and post your event.
One is on New Hampshire Underground
forum.newhampshireunderground.com/index.php?action=calendar
The other is New Hampshire Liberty Calendar
www.nhlibertycalendar.org
If you contact the Welcome Wagon they will put your move on the Liberty calendar. After the move they remove your information form the calendar.
You can post your moving party on the Underground calendar yourself. They will remove your address and contact information at your request including any of the forum postings after your move.
How to Throw a Porcupine Moving Party
A) Advertise far and wide. The more places, and the farther in advance, you advertise your move, the more people will hear about it either by reading your ads or via word-of-mouth. Good ways to advertise are on the FSP discussion forum, NHFree.com, the NHPorcupines-discuss yahoo group, and via direct email to people who know you. Follow up with reminders closer to the date. Provide a cell phone number so people can confirm at the last minute that there hasn't been a change of schedule.
B) Offer food and beer. These appear to be non-negotiable prerequisites for attracting a large group of movers.
C) If you're moving within state, or from a close-by state, come to a Porcupine meeting (they take place weekly in locations around the state), stand up and let everyone know you need help. Don't be scared! Despite the anomalous number of openly carried handguns, we're basically a peaceful bunch.
D) Be libertarian / pro-small government / classically conservative / Constitutionalist / anarchocapitalist. I would have thought this one would go without saying, but I recently saw a hyperlink on a non-FSP website telling people that if they're moving to New Hampshire, just contact the Porcupines and we'll be happy to help you move in. Wha????
E) Schedule your move for a Saturday or Sunday. This makes a huge difference, as most of us *do* have jobs. If possible, don't schedule your move to conflict with an event that many Porcupines are sure to be attending.
F) If possible accrue social capital. This is the hardest requirement, and takes long-range planning/effort, and is a bit difficult to concretely define, but there's no denying it plays a role. Let's face it: many of us need a darned good reason to haul ourselves out of bed early on our day off from work, to go out in the pouring rain/blazing sun/blowing snow (I've experienced all three during moving parties) to do manual labor on behalf of someone we probably don't know all that well, if at all. How does one accrue social capital? Well, if you don't have time to read one of the numerous available books on small-town (or in this case, small-state) life in America, or to watch reruns of "Little House on the Prairie", here are some tips:
1. Let people get to know you. Attend parties, BBQ's, Porcupine meetings, PorcFest. Even if you're the quiet type, if you just show up on a regular basis, then when it comes time for those in your social network to make that critical decision (do I, or do I not, get out of bed to go move furniture?), people are more likely to think "Aw, he's one of us, guess I oughta". Or if you haven't yet arrived in New Hampshire, actively participate on the discussion forums and Yahoo lists. It's amazing how much you can feel like you *know* someone you've never actually *met*.
2. Be a nice person. Unconditional love is for babies, sweetheart. People will want to help those they like; they will be less inclined to help those they dislike.
3. Be politically active, in whatever way you define that to be. That *is* the reason we're here after all (by "we", I mean participants and supporters of the Free State Project).
4. Help other people move. This is known as "the Golden Rule" (or, if you want to show off, the "Ethic of Reciprocity")
I personally failed to follow many of these tips when it came time to move *my* furniture, and my moving party turnout was... smallish. Since I hope to buy a house next year, I'd better start stocking up now on beer, to be dispensed on a weekend, not to conflict with PorcFest. And oh yeah, get started on that whole "nice person" dealio.
- Sandy Pierre
Have toilet paper, paper towels, soap and a first aid kit unpacked before the move in starts.
People will get dirty and will want to wash and refresh during breaks and once everything is moved.
Have the tools ready to reassemble anything that you disassembled.
This should include power drills, screwdrivers, mallets, wrenchs etc. These should be ready before the truck is unloaded.
Make sure cables, wires, electrical cords and such are availible to set up your electronics. Odds are there could be someone there who knows how to set this stuff up correctly. You may want to set up free-standing lamps in places that don't have ceiling fixtures, and unpack a clock to keep track of the time - especially important if you have deadlines for returning rentals and volunteers who are on a time schedule.
Have household cleaning products such as a vacuum cleaner, broom, mops, and other cleaning supplies ready. Some places are quite dirty from the last residents. You may have volunteers offer to help clean up so you can unpack.
If you have a group of people moving you in you will need to direct people to where your possesions are to go. Mark the boxes in some way so you know what room to put the boxes in. The biggest help to everyone unloading the truck is someone telling them where to put your stuff. Your helpers have no idea where to put stuff so you need to tell them.
If at all possible get the floor plan, measurments and photos of your new home in New Hampshire. As you pack and plan your move you can figure out where to set up your furniture and what you are going to do with your stuff. This will save you a lot of time rearranging everything after the truck is empty. If you can make a diagram of where your furniture goes it will save you time and energy. Also you won't have to think about where to put the big items. If you have a plan you can just read from it and things will go very smoothly the day of the move.
Cardboard from large boxes, or moving blankets can be used to protect floors and walls or pad any furniture being moved around tight corners. Tall hand trucks with rails on the back for moving up stairs really helps make things easier, avoid injuries, and prevent damage to the furniture, stairs, and walls.
Please pay it forward. If you get help, you should plan on helping others. If 20 people show up to help, yes, you should help 20 others move in... We have some participants who have long 'paid off' any help they got, but they continue to show up and help others. Be one of those, if you can.
Moving again and storage emptying. See Pay it forward. You will get often get help, but we're not a moving service. Be considerate.

Albert Fuchs: How health insurance is harming primary medical care
By ALBERT FUCHS
19 hours, 31 minutes ago
IMAGINE ONE morning you're craving something sweet, so you stop by the corner doughnut shop. Turns out the wait is half an hour, the clerk is rude and, when you finally get it, the doughnut is stale. Would you buy doughnuts there again? Of course not.
Yet, every day, millions of Americans put up with just that kind of service in their physicians' offices. And they keep going back.
Anyone who has visited a primary care doctor lately knows the drill: You show up on time, only to wait 45 minutes or even an hour. In the examination room, the physician (who offers no apology) seems distracted, harried and eager to get to the next patient. Then you're referred to a specialist -- who doesn't have an opening for a month.
Every politician and his aunt Martha has a scheme to overhaul American health care. But not one of them will solve this problem: Most doctors are awful at serving their patients. The typical hair salon pays more attention to customer service than the typical doctor.
Why? Even the best medical schools give short shrift to practice management. So a doctor can emerge as a skilled diagnostician without a clue how to run a business that serves consumers. In fact, many physicians find it distasteful to think of medicine as a business at all. They feel that it's their mission to serve as many patients as possible rather than to provide the best care possible. Most significant, today's doctors are preoccupied with the bureaucracy of insurance companies, so much so that they've lost the simple logic of the doughnut shop model.
To be sure, physicians are not entirely to blame. With insurance companies dictating how much doctors can charge for services as diverse as a routine checkup or an appendectomy, a doctor has only one route to more income: increase volume.
I know. When I began my own private practice in internal medicine, my volume grew quickly, and so did my work hours. I didn't complain because I took that as a sign of success. But before long I found myself toiling nights and weekends just to keep up with the volume. First I sacrificed my free time to my practice, then my sleep and finally the quality of my practice itself.
From an economist's point of view, my problem was simple. I was making good doughnuts and selling them below market price. I was earning a good living, but I couldn't sustain that level of production. So I took action. I dropped an insurance plan -- the one that gave me the least compensation. Almost immediately, I had fewer patients but more time and energy for those I maintained. When my patient ranks swelled and I got too busy again, I dropped another plan. This continued until I reached the right balance of time and patients.
For more than a year, I haven't received a single dollar from any insurance company. I work for my patients. A few hundred doctors across the country are working the same way, some in blue-collar towns. Routine care should be affordable to the middle class, and as more doctors and more patients form relationships that exclude insurance companies, prices will drop. Insurance doesn't make routine care affordable; it makes it more expensive by adding a middleman. I know that some patients can afford nothing, so two afternoons a month I volunteer at a clinic that cares for indigent patients, which I could not have done with the huge patient volume I was seeing a few years ago.
When doctors break free from the shackles of insurance companies, they can practice medicine the way they always hoped they could. And they can get back to the customer service model in which the paramount incentive is providing the best care. Only then can doctors reclaim the simple dignity of any businessman: These are my doughnuts; only I and my customers can determine their worth. (At the end of each week, I will donate some to the needy, but I will not let a third party set the price.)
And when patients are the customers, doctors will listen when they ask for services not on the insurance company menu. If an urgent need arises after hours, patients want to be able to call their own doctor. Patients want to be able to e-mail their doctor with non-urgent questions and to fax them interesting articles. They want to be educated, not just medicated. They want to know they can get in to see their doctor the same day if needed, and that their doctor will be the one taking care of them if they are hospitalized. If doctors had fewer patients, meeting all of these needs would be easy.
How many customers would have to request rainbow sprinkles before the doughnut shop owner kept them in stock?
nothing

Sex on Ecuador's political agenda
By Daniel Schweimler
South America correspondent, BBC News
Ms Soledad Vela wants laws covering life, health and sexual education
A woman from the governing party in Ecuador has proposed that a women's right to enjoy sexual happiness should be enshrined in the country's law.
Her suggestion has provoked a lively debate in conservative Ecuador.
Maria Soledad Vela, who is helping to rewrite the constitution, says women have traditionally been seen as mere sexual objects or child bearers.
Now, she says, women should have the right to make free, responsible and informed decisions about sex lives.
'Orgasm by law'
Ms Soledad Vela is a member of the governing party on the Constituent Assembly that is rewriting the country's constitution.
Its aim, among other things, is to ensure a better distribution of wealth and rights for indigenous communities and the poor.
Women, she believes, should not be left off that list.
But her comments have provoked a lively response - mostly, unsurprisingly, from men.
Opposition assembly member, Leonardo Viteri, accused her of trying to decree orgasm by law.
Another called the proposal "ridiculous" and said that such an intimate topic should stay intimate and not be enshrined in law.
Ms Soledad Vela responded to the criticism, saying she had never requested the right to an orgasm - merely the right to enjoy sex in a free, fair and more open society.
She explained that sex was a difficult subject to discuss in Ecuador and that what she wanted were clearer laws covering life, health and sexual education.

Florida Substitute Teacher Fired, Accused of Wizardry
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
E-Mail Print Share:
A Florida teacher may have to pull an unemployment check out of his hat after performing magic in front of students, according to reports.
Jim Piculas said he made a toothpick disappear and reappear in front of students at the Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes, Fla., Local6.com reported. He said he later got a call from the supervisor of teachers, saying he had been accused of wizardry.
"I get a call the middle of the day from head of supervisor of substitute teachers. He says, 'Jim, we have a huge issue. You can't take any more assignments. You need to come in right away,'" he told Local6.com.
Piculas said he's concerned the incident may prevent him from being considered for future jobs.

EUA: Grupo faz treinamento especializado para gays armados
Por Redação
05.05.08
Um grupo organizado norte-americano iniciou uma campanha de treinamento especializado para homossexuais que possuam armas de fogo.
Segundo o organizador do grupo, Ryan Marvin, a proposta é de um treinamento para que o equipamento seja utilizado como defesa, causando o mínimo possível de acidentes (próprios).
O grupo acredita que o porte de armas é um direito constitucional, e os gays mais susceptíveis à ataques. Os Pink Pistolas, como são chamados, realizarão seu primeiro evento no dia 25 de Maio, reunindo os integrantes para um tiroteio educativo na Flórida, Estados Unidos.
Além de contribuir com o treinamento de gays que já possuam armas de fogo legalizadas, o grupo pretende auxiliar a oficialização das armas de portadores ilegais. Além disso, a divulgação do treinamento pode ser um motivo para reduzir o ataque aos "indefesos" homossexuais.

I got nothin
This morning during a thaw 2 more LN tubes popped the barcodes off (one missed my head by about an inch) none of the VPLN tubes have lost the barcodes, the tubes that were submerged in water overnight were placed into LN or VP as needed and none of the barcodes ejected during the first thaw.
That was very strange. Hit in the head by a barcode :o

Attribute to The Libertarian Enterprise
In an official press release dated April 25, 2008, two "spokesmen" for the national Libertarian Party—which in this case means hired hands, un-elected by anybody—surrealistically called for "increased coordination and communication between federal and state law enforcement agencies" in the matter of child pornography. The document heavily quoted Robert Mueller, current head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"Libertarians Call for Increased Communication to Combat Child Pornography"
http://www.lp.org/media/article_578.shtml
The two culprits in question are Executive Director Shane Cory, and somebody named Andrew Davis, grandiosely titled "National Media Coordinator". Both should be out looking for new jobs and other employers to misrepresent and disgrace

Dust in Wind Lyrics from Kansas

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

You simply need to know the proper trigger words to keep Jim in check. Then again the wrong word could turn this seemingly harmless cool dude into a bloodthirsty monster bent on the compete and total destruction of all those in the immediate vicinity.
We are quite pleased with the success we have had in programming R77-1459 (aka Jim). Unfortunately the technician in charge of R77-1459's programming was disgruntled and he chose very common words for programming; he has since been terminated.

Daniel Hopsicker is an investigative journalist and filmmaker and author. He made the movie "Secret Heartbeat of America" and wrote the book "Barry and the Boys" about the CIA's drug running.
Hopsicker became interested in 9/11 when he heard on the news that 3 out of 4 of the 9/11 pilots trained at a flight school in Venice, FL. He knew there was absolutely nothing interesting to do in Venice, FL – home to many blue-haired old ladies, so he wondered why terrorists would chose to spend the last years of their lives in such a place

Libertarians Pick Barr as Presidential Nominee :biglaugh: or :'( or :puke:
The Coming Collapse of Oil Prices
by Dom Armentano
by Dom Armentano
DIGG THIS
Bold economic predictions are dangerous, and I've been wrong before, but here goes: Oil prices are about to tumble.
There are several important reasons to believe that crude oil prices of roughly $130/barrel are simply not sustainable. The first is that world-wide economic growth, and hence the demand for crude oil, has slowed markedly due to the credit crunch and the bursting real estate bubble. The second reason is that the Federal Reserve has finally decided to stop lowering interest rates and/or creating credit as if it were the Tooth Ferry; a stronger dollar will mean lower oil prices. Third, the already record high crude oil and gasoline prices have created strong incentives for consumer and business conservation and that has lowered overall demand.
Yet the most fundamental reason to expect prices to fall is that the gap between the price of crude oil and the cost of producing it is just way, way too large to be sustained long-run.
According to the Energy Information Administration, the average cost (in constant dollars) of finding, lifting, and storing onshore domestic and/or foreign oil between 1980 and 2004 has been approximately $20 per barrel; between 2004 and 2006 that average cost rose to approximately $25 per barrel and is slightly higher now. (The cost of producing offshore oil is more than double onshore costs). Yet the price of crude oil has risen to approximately $130 per barrel (doubling in the last year alone) creating large profits for most producers and integrated oil companies.
Marginal suppliers around the world with costs above $30 per barrel but still far below current prices now have overwhelming incentives to uncap wells, engage in secondary and tertiary techniques to recover more oil from existing wells, drill additional wells, and otherwise expand production. (Houston is currently booming with oil production investment as is Brazil). Any serious output expansion will take time but the increasing supply coupled with lower demand will lead inexorably to lower prices; indeed, sharply lower prices.
To be sure, speculators have helped bid up the price of crude oil. Most of the speculation centers around legitimate concerns about "supply disruptions" and some wider war in the Middle East Gulf region. My guess is that roughly 20% of the current price is a supply disruption premium while another 10% is associated with our own debasement of the currency (the dollar) by our own central bank. (This can be proven by comparing oil prices in dollars with oil prices in Euros). When (if) these speculations prove unwarranted, oil prices will decline sharply into (my guess) the $80 per barrel range. But if we get a new war, all bets are off.
Public policy can encourage this bursting bubble scenario. The Democrats want to tax the oil companies or use the antitrust laws against them. Big mistake. More taxes get you LESS oil and "concentration" in the oil industry is not really the problem. The on-going Congressional hearings "investigating" oil prices and profits is a charade and is purely political theater. The very same federal and state governments that complain about high oil prices continue to tax gasoline at a rate (40 cents per gallon) far higher than the profit rate for the oil companies. So much for government concern about consumers.
On the other hand, public policy can and must change to allow energy companies to explore for and develop domestic and offshore supplies of crude oil. Obstacles to expanding and building new oil refineries domestically must be removed, and quickly. Alternative energy sources, if they are cheaper, must be allowed to proceed (including and especially nuclear) but direct subsidies to ALL energy companies (including to oil companies, if any) should end. We need the contributions of wind, solar, etc., but only if and when their real costs and prices are comparable with oil and natural gas. Competitive energy suppliers will work to produce in our interest if we free up the markets and let them.

Sudoku-playing jurors halt trial
One juror said the number puzzle helped keep her "mind busy".
A drugs trial has been abandoned in Australia after several jurors admitted they had spent much of their time playing Sudoku in the courtroom.
Judge Peter Zahra aborted proceedings after the jury forewoman admitted she and four others had been playing the popular puzzles to fight off boredom.
The problem was discovered when some of the jurors were observed writing notes vertically rather than horizontally.
Sudoku involves completing a grid of numbers in the correct sequence.
The three-month trial had cost taxpayers more than A$1m (US$945,000) and the two accused men faced possible life sentences.
Copious 'note-taking'
One of the jurors explained that the puzzle had helped keep her "mind busy" as she listened to repeated testimonies from the witness box.
HAVE YOUR SAY The right to be tried by a jury of your peers is a fundamental human right. To abdicate those freedoms and duties because it is boring is pure selfishness
Andy, USA
Send us your comments"Some of the evidence is rather drawn out, and I find it difficult to maintain my attention the whole time," the juror told the Australian Associated Press.
Lawyers had presumed the scribbling they could see jurors doing was note-taking.
"We actually all thought they were quite a diligent jury," lawyer Robyn Hakelis told ABC local radio.
"The judge had made many comments about what a good jury they were, how they were taking copious amounts of notes."
There is no legal action that can be taken against jurors for doing puzzles during a trial, so they will face no penalty for their behaviour.
A fresh trial is expected to begin in a few weeks, once a new jury has been called.

I have to work on a bottle of George Dickel, and update another proof

Monday, so I'll be able to get back to the Tenant section as soon as
Elvis leaves the building. Yes, the stage show is for one of the "world's

Rather unusual for a Topographer
I'm updating a Nashville Visitor Guide Map (Cartography). The publisher's clients send me artwork which goes around the map, and I place logos for the advertisers on the map.
I know... I'm slutting up a perfectly accurate map for money. I'm a map whore.
Bitch for the Benjimens!

Media Updates
Will and Brooke were on the front page in one of Idaho's newspapers, The Lewiston Tribune. The article came out on Friday, June 13th. This was their first newspaper coverage! Good job!
They were also featured in the Clearwater Progress which is based out of Kamiah, ID. It was a very nice article that mentioned the Free State Project quite a bit.

John Buchanan's 1st Walk For Liberty Email Update
Let me start off by introducing myself. I'm Will's younger brother, John. I've been a support participant on the Walk For Liberty since it began on April 14th from Cannon Beach, OR. I'm not doing the walking, but I'm helping out in many other ways. For starters, I'm going to be taking over the Walk For Liberty email updates. Other than that, I'm helping to spread the message of liberty in many others ways, as well as taking care of the day-to-day things in the RV and whatnot.
Anyway, what an amazing trip so far!
I love to travel. I've been to many countries, lived in two foreign ones, and traveled many parts of the U.S. many times over, including a drive up to Alaska. But I've never experienced a journey like this before.
Seeing America's beautiful wonders at several miles a day on average is so unique for me. Most people (including myself) are used to blasting through cities and countrysides in order to get to the final destination. So putting on the breaks and setting the cruise control to a creeping pace is wildly fascinating.
We've passed through big cities and small ones, and I've had enough time to feel and experience the energy of each place. Going warp factor 9 through the country never offered me this sense of connection to each place.
Witnessing a lot of cool things is, well, cool.
I've met strangers in Hillsboro, OR who gave us lots of warm hospitality. I've seen dead coyotes hanging on a fence in the small town of Prescott, WA. I've seen many different kinds of private RV parks and government state parks in such a short period of time. I've slept in the parking lots of Wal-Mart and talked with the other "lot inhabitants," both rich and poor. I've seen many birds, cows, deer, horses, dogs, cats, llamas, and even roosters sleeping in bushes next to an egg seller's bedroom window (we ended up buying some giant brown eggs there).
Like I said, it's an amazing trip so far.
Our final destination is still over 3,000 miles away. We're headin' towards the coast of New Hampshire. We'll get there some time before the new year. We'll see so many varied landscapes, experience great weather changes, meet exciting, friendly new people, and we'll do it all with our message of liberty, served with a smile.
We really want to see a change in the government. We want it so badly that we're sacrificing our time, money, and personal space to achieve it for everyone. But I don't think "sacrificing" is the right word. I see it more as "investing."
We're slowly making our way across America and spreading the message of the Free State Project and Ron Paul's new endeavor, Campaign For Liberty. I encourage you to learn more about these if you haven't done so already.
I'm really impressed with Will and Brooke's perseverance and dedication to walk so much. My brother is a really hardworking guy. He's determined to film, edit and upload a short video every single day. He's doing a phenomenal job of documenting the Walk For Liberty. His style is nice: part nature (and urban), part commentary, and part dry humor all in one.
No one else on YouTube is presenting (or reporting) with such a style that I've seen.
Right now this is our mission: education, inspiration, and action toward true liberty and freedom for all. We truly believe the federal government is a lost cause. They have become too big, too corrupt, too intrusive, and too blinded by greed and power to "lead us," and with proper education, Americans don't even need their leadership to be a successful society.
The U.S federal government does not represent me. It's changed into something offensive and something in need of change.
The Free State Project is currently a group of over 8,000 liberty-loving individuals who have pledged to move to New Hampshire at some point to form a community of activists dedicated to changing the local and state government's maximum role to that of protecting life, liberty and property. The future success of this project will inspire other states to take action.
We will make this happen.
I hope to send you an email update at least once a week (maybe more) with new things to report or just to talk about my feelings in regard to the trip or the state of the country. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask.

Thanks so much for what you're doing. We love you and we're with you in spirit. ON WITH THE REVOLUTION. - Sashia48
Will i agree that private roads would be a better idea, i agree private ways of doing things would be better on most fronts but for some reason if you speak against any goverment system you get this attitude from people. walking across country i'm sure you get some weird looks from people,how do you deal with the hardened willfully asleep that just put their fingers in their ears and go lalala when they hear the truth about how and why government sux and doesn't work in it's current form . - Openupyoureyes
Dude, that stretch of road is really dangerous. You probably should have taken the parallel train tracks. I guess even your wife is braver than I am. BTW, isn't legalizing freedom a contradiction? - Canlore

Recap: What Is the Walk For Liberty?
Will Buchanan is walking 100% of the way across America to save the country. His wife, Brooke is walking many of those miles as well, and they're walking from Oregon to New Hampshire to be exact. The Walk For Liberty wants to raise awareness of the Free State Project, which is a migration of liberty activists all moving to New Hampshire, and of Ron Paul's new project, Campaign For Liberty.
The Walk For Liberty has a support RV and a car as well. Will's brother, John shuttles the "liberty walkers" back and forth in the car from the walking route to their home on wheels every day. They always start walking from the previous day's stopping point.

nothing.
By Phyllis Schlafly June 11, 2008
The American Bar Association (ABA) is a special-interest group like any other association representing its members. The Chamber of Commerce represents corporations' interests (such as seeking cheap labor to keep the cost of wages low), and the National Education Association represents the education industry's interests (such as seeking more public funding to create more school jobs).
The ABA represents lawyers who seek to win their cases, especially if they are profitable and result in verdicts that order transfers of money. We can therefore assume that ABA publications are not disinterested research, but are meant to promote the litigating and financial interests of lawyers.
A good example of a special-interest publication is called "10 Myths About Custody and Domestic Violence and How to Counter Them," which was produced "for use in litigation" by an ABA subgroup called the "Commission on Domestic Violence." "10 Myths" is designed to teach lawyers how to win money verdicts against fathers by using false or misleading arguments masquerading as objective research.
The same techniques can theoretically be used against mothers, but fathers are the chief targets because they more frequently have more financial resources than mothers. Litigation is often stimulated by the search for deep pockets.
The "Commission's" website notes this disclaimer: "The ABA Commission on Domestic Violence does not engage in research, and cannot vouch for the quality or accuracy of any of the data excerpted here." Too bad the "10 Myths" flier doesn't include this disclaimer, too, because most of it lacks both quality and accuracy.
A non-profit research and education organization called Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting (RADAR) has just published a detailed analysis of "10 Myths." RADAR's report proves that "10 Myths" uses bogus statistics and is "profoundly and systematically biased . . . unworthy to be used as a foundation for legal practice or public policy."
"10 Myths" denies the big problem that false allegations of domestic violence and child abuse are frequently used by women to win child custody, and that children can be coached to betray their fathers. "10 Myths" ignores the problem that family courts regularly deny custody and issue restraining orders against men based on a woman's unsubstantiated say-so and without giving the man fundamental due process rights.
RADAR shows that "10 Myths" sells the feminist falsehoods that only fathers engage in domestic violence and child abuse. "10 Myths" consistently selects language to portray fathers negatively.
Dr. Stephen Baskerville's landmark new book, "Taken into Custody: The War Against Fatherhood, Marriage, and the Family," poignantly describes how attorneys advise divorced wives seeking child custody to accuse the father of abuse and obtain a restraining order barring him from the family home, knowing that she will never be punished for false accusations.
Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) has rushed to the aid of women who want free lawyers to help them make domestic violence accusations, and of lawyers seeking income from those cases. He is the lead sponsor of an extravagant new boondoggle called the National Domestic Violence Volunteer Attorney Network Act (S.1515).
Biden's bill would give $2 million a year to the ABA "Commission" that wrote "10 Myths" in order to create a National Domestic Violence Volunteer Attorney Network Referral Project. Biden wants the taxpayers to pay the lawyers' student loans.
Biden's bill will channel an estimated $55.5 million of taxpayers' money to lawyers and the special-interest ABA "Commission" will be in the catbird seat. The bill will authorize federal funding to create and maintain an electronic network, provide mentoring, training and other assistance, and set up a legal coordinator's office in each state to match lawyers to victims.
Biden's bill will give a half-million dollars to the National Domestic Violence Hotline to train feminists in coordination with the ABA project. The Biden bill will establish a Domestic Violence Legal Advisory Task Force and a National Institute of Justice to study legal services available to "battered" women.
The Biden bill will give a $75,000 grant to each of five states to create a pilot program to implement the network in coordination with the ABA "Commission." After the five states get into operation, the bill will roll out the program nationally with annual appropriations of $8 million.
Biden's bill passed the Senator Judiciary Committee last month despite Republican objections. To nobody's surprise, the bill is enthusiastically supported by the ABA and a long list of feminist organizations.
Feminist ideology has constructed the myths that men are naturally batterers, that women are naturally victims of an oppressive patriarchal society, and that women's accusations should be believed regardless of evidence. Courts should have learned the lesson from the infamous Duke Lacrosse rape case that accusations-without-evidence should not be allowed to destroy innocent men's lives.
It's time for real men to stand up against this sexist nonsense and, for the sake of children, give fathers their rights of fatherhood and of due process.

SANTA FE, N.M. — A New Mexico appeals court on Friday ruled against a Los Alamos man who wanted to change his name to a phrase containing a popular four-letter obscenity.
The man appealed after a state district judge in Bernalillo County refused his request to change his name to "F--- Censorship!"
Judge Nan Nash ruled that the proposed name change was "obscene, offensive and would not comport with common decency."
The man — whose current legal name is Variable — argued on appeal that it was improper government censorship to deny him the name change.
"We do not believe that the district court's action infringes on petitioner's right to free speech," a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals said in its ruling.
The man has the right to call himself whatever he wants, unless there's fraud or misrepresentation involved, the judges said.
But once he seeks court approval for a name change, the court has the authority to turn him down on several grounds, including if the name is offensive to common decency and good taste, the judges ruled.
That law was clarified in a 2004 case in the same court that apparently involved the same petitioner. In that case, an Albuquerque man whose name was Snaphappy Fishsuit Mokiligon got the go-ahead from the appeals court to change his name to Variable.

Railing against the system
Share
Today at 5:16am | Edit Note | Delete
What kind of system is it that demands money of a man, while simultaneously making it impossible for him to earn any? I feel like scratching someone's eyes out, but who? His ex-wife who used the system? The police who arrested him, enforcing the system? The judge who will make certain the system is carried out, locking him up for....months?....a year? The politicians who made the system? Better to scratch my own eyes out so that I don't see what America has become....America, that place once synonymous with Freedom.
