I was asked to endorse Jamie Moore for Thurston County District Judge and I met her and her family after a Creative Theatre Experience play at Baskin Robbins and she seems nice and all. However, in all fairness, I need to see what the other ELEVEN candidates are about. So, here are some links with bits of info that I could find about the race - I'll keep adding links as I find them. This race goes right to the General Election in November - no judge race in the primary!! (the Primary ballot just came to my house). Olympian Article by Brad Shannon (could this be more worthless?) Thurston County Auditor Candidate Filing Voting For Judges.Org info page Update! - Wed at 7:04am Candidates on the ballot for county district judge seat, Olympian by Brad Shannon (more substantial than Shannon article above) Candidate Websites:Jodi Erikson-Muldrew Website Jamie Moore Website Sam Meyer Website Bill Gilbert Website Ken Valz Website

I was browsing through the City of Olympia website today and found that through a program with the Olympia police, while you're on vacation, you can have the Volunteers in Police Services (VIPS) conduct "low-level security checks" of your home while you're away:
Anyone ever had this done?

Waters gets 6 years for UW firebombing, Seattle PI "...A key to Wednesday's sentencing hearing in Tacoma was whether actions of Waters, who acted as a lookout and provided logistics support to her ELF compatriots, rose to the level of terrorism.

Any thoughts about this? Especially with the current trial of Briana Waters going on in Tacoma?

Check out the KUOW Flickr photo stream I stumbled upon with pictures of local Olympians and their thoughts about how climate change and rising sea levels will affect the downtown core.

The Sunday editorial from the Olympian is the true embodiment of development and conservative interests: City Council must move in new direction There was a mandate for nothing as far as I'm concerned. The job of a city commission is to represent the will of it's constituents. And as history has shown - those constituents that are organized and make things happen are those that are effective. Mike Oakland needs to crawl back under the rock he emerged from. I for one will miss Laura Ware and TJ Johnson on our city council and hope the council picks a progressive to fill Doug Mah's empty seat. They need a more diverse council - a less diverse council will be the result if someone is picked that the Olympian supports. Howard Rosenfeld

Do you obsessively keep up with current events? Do you jones every time you're away from a computer or newspapers? Do you always carry something to read around with you if you ever get caught having to wait somewhere? If this describes you even a little, you may be a good candidate to be on my public affairs show, No Talking Heads. We keep track of the stories we're following each week and share them with KAOS listeners every Sunday. I'm looking for people, preferably women and people of color, to commit to at least once a month. You're expected to share with me the stories you're following or want to share with listeners that have broken in the past week. The show is Sundays from 5-6pm on KAOS. If you're interested in talking about being involved, I want to meet you. Send me an email at notalkingheads@yahoo.com Thanks! Howard Rosenfeld

FCC to announce final media ownership hearing in Seattle FCC Chairman Kevin Martin plans to hold the last of six official public hearings on media ownership rules in Seattle, before rushing the agency's 18-month long consideration of the rules to a fast-tracked conclusion by mid-December. The hearing will be the only chance for Northwest residents to weigh in on proposals that would allow giant media companies to grow even more concentrated. While Martin has apparently proposed holding a Seattle hearing on Nov. 2--less than two weeks away!--no date has been officially announced. Beginning next Wednesday, Reclaim the Media will provide testimony workshops for anyone wishing to testify at the Seattle FCC hearing, or to learn more about media ownership issues. Read on for more information, a summary of the rules at stake, and addtional resources. Olympia workshop schedule:

The street in front of my house (Maringo Rd) is like a damn river. Nice to see some lighting and thunder. One thing I miss from Florida.
