Convention

Toc toc. Chi è? La convention dei comunicatori! NO!!! Anche quest’anno? Ma non posso evitare…? No, fai parte della famiglia professionale… e poi aiuta la tua crescita… e poi fa parte del tuo ruolo… e poi… Le parole sono pietre, ci diranno. È vero. Alla sola parola convention mi viene il prurito di mettere mano alla fondina. Alle parole convention dei comunicatori sale irresistibile la voglia invadere la Polonia….. Rassegnato vado come un soldatino e il mio animo lo può descrivere solo il poeta De Andrè “te ne vai triste come chi deve” “mentre marciavi con l'anima in spalle”. È la terza volta. Alla prima mi ero avvicinato senza pregiudizi e con speranza. La seconda volta con rassegnazione. Questa volta con rabbia. Ero prevenuto. L’inizio è la solita scena ister

As far as I can tell, neither Sen. Collins campaign website nor her Senate site so much as mentions last week's Maine Republican convention.No text, no video, nothing.Seems the junior senator might prefer we forget that, like far-right columnist Cal Thomas and former Governor Mitt Romney, she received an enthusiastic reception from Maine's anti-choice, laissez-faire Republicans delegates.

80,000 blondes are gathered for a “Blondes Are Not Stupid” convention. The leader says, “We are all here today to prove to the world that blondes are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer?” A blonde gingerly works her way through the crowd and steps up to the stage. The leader asks her, “What is 15 plus 15?” After 15 or 20 seconds she says, “18!” Obviously, everyone is a little disap

Via PolitickerME.com:Part 1Part 2UPDATE: PolitckerME.com seems to have missed some of the speech. But in these clips, if I'm counting correctly, Sen. Collins says the word "Iraq" only once--and in passing.In general, the address is noticeably light on the discussion of issues, even by the standards of a campaign speech at a political convention.

The AP runs the first extended piece on Sen. Collins' remarks at the Maine GOP convention. Here's the meat of the article:While allowing that she and Allen both care deeply about Maine, Collins said "the similarities pretty much end there" and ticked off a list of areas in which she and the congressman differ.Collins said she supported Republican tax relief efforts, which Allen opposed. Collins said she voted for Medicare Part D drug coverage while Allen opposed it, and that she supported allowing the government to intercept overseas phone calls "of terrorists plotting to kill Americans" while Allen did not.[...]Collins touted her own record of helping to steer through legislation to protect the security of cargo, reorganize federal intelligence programs and make changes in the Federal Eme

I haven't been able to get my hands on the text or video of Sen. Collins' remarks to the Maine Republican party convention earlier today. But the very short AP story on her speech is sort of baffling:After a rousing introduction by fellow Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, Collins ticked off a list of areas in which she and Allen disagree, such as committee choices, privacy and Medicare prescription drug coverage.Seriously? Committee choices?I have absolutely no idea what that's supposed to mean. But now I'm intrigued.

U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman announced the group of 66 New Jerseyans who will represent U.S. Sen. Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colo., this August. Rothman, the Obama campaign's Northeast Regional Co-Chair and Authorized Representative for New Jersey, says this team will not only support Barack Obama at the convention, but also help deliver a critical Obama victory in New Jersey come November."It is my hope that the Democratic Party will soon unite behind Barack Obama as our Presidential nominee. I am confident that this delegation will form the heart of a strong team that will deliver New Jersey in November and elect Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States," Rothman said.This announcement immediately follows a meeting of the entire New Jersey Del

Activities of add/update/delete to a section of disk would invariable cause it to fragment. So there is no permanent solution as we can not avoid these acts. As such it is a good idea to use disk defragmenter regularly. Contiguous data which results from defragmenting disk, improves system performance considerably. But what I am suggesting you here would prolong intervals between defragmentations resulting in more time for your own productive work. OK! This tip is for those folks would never be using a DOS based program or don't care for connection from DOS based operating systems (example: old games and all things before windows 95). In Windows XP, two file names are created for each file one is the actual name and another one is 8.3 version of that file name for compatibility with

Freedom of Speech is a vital liberty, but I always thought that speech inciting violence was not protected. It appears that notorious right-wing windbag, Rush Limbaugh, has called for riots at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Rather than seeing his Republicans lose, he'd rather provoke his audience to violence. If this poll is at all representative, it appears he has lots of company. Isn't inciting riots a crime?Tags: freedom of speech, Rush Limbaugh, Denver, Democratic National Convention, riot, riots, crime, right-wing, violence

Plot Revealed By "Anarchists" and "Anti-Authoritarians"Self-described anarchists and "anti-authoritarians" are planning to "shut down" the Republican National Convention, which will take place in St. Paul, Minn., on Sept. 1-4.Last month, the Grand Rapids (Michigan) Chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) reported that over the past year, protest planning for the GOP event had grown at a "considerable pace" since the SDS endorsed disrupting the proceedings at its 2007 national convention.At that time, the SDS adopted a three-step plan to disrupt the first day of the convention. First, protesters plan to blockade the Xcel Energy Center, which will host the Republican convention. Second, they plan to disrupt delegates' transportation to the center. And finally, protesters plan to b

Democrat's 2000 Vice Presidential NomineeSays "He Willl If Asked"Lieberman May Go Zell...Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), the Democratic Party’s 2000 vice presidential nominee, is leaving open the possibility of giving a keynote address on behalf of Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) at the Republican National Convention in September.Republicans close to the McCain campaign say Lieberman’s appearance at the convention, possibly before a national primetime audience, could help make the case that the presumptive GOP nominee has a record of crossing the aisle. That could appeal to much-needed independent voters.McCain has yet to ask Lieberman to speak, either in primetime or elsewhere, at the convention. But if McCain thinks it will help make his case for the White House, as some of his allies suspect

That's what is now tactically the goal. Minnesota supporters of presidential hopeful Ron Paul hope the Texan will win some speaking time at the GOP National Convention in St. Paul. Whilst the Republican party chiefs are keen to state that John McCain will be the nominee, it still would be the best option to allow Ron Paul time to address the delegates.He would have two messages to offer. First, to those delegates who have never heard him speak live. They may well wonder what they passed up on! Second, the wider TV audience will also hear him, unless there is some Chinese-style editing. I guess few Americans have heard him in such an arena.So the Revolution continues to roll.

Recent downtown Ann Arbor activity has rekindled discussions about the feasibility of an Ann Arbor Convention CenterThe City of Ann Arbor completed a conference center feasibility study in 1989.  Despite its antiquity, the study's findings still seem to be plausible.  The historic study called attention to Ann Arbor's proximity to Detroit Metro and the need for speaker resources.  Today Ann Arbor still has no facility that will attract groups of more than 400 people.  The old study recommended one major facility of 60,000 to 75,000 sqft within walking distance of the University of Michigan's central campus.  Although discussions only recently resurfaced and are very preliminary - there has been talk about several city-owned properties fitting the needs.  The F

Fellow blogger Job’s Anger has a great report from the Potter County (Amarillo) Convention: Potter County held their Democratic Convention last night to decide who would fill the 19 delegate slots allotted to the county. The convention got off to a very slow and disorganized start. The gavel was supposed to come down and start the convention at 6:00pm, but at that time at least half the delegates were still trying to get signed in and get their badges. The convention finally got started about 6:45pm. I live in a very small precinct, and we were grouped with two other small precincts. The three precincts together got to choose only one delegate and one alternate. When we first arrived, the Obama delegates were just hoping to get the alternate out of these three precincts. That was

The Galveston County Daily News has some notes on the Galveston County Democratic Convention, which was a combined convention of Senate Districts 17 and 11: Galveston County Democrats on Saturday made official what has been suspected since March: Barack Obama might have lost the Election Day primary to Hillary Clinton, but he was the decisive winner in the election-night caucus. Texas Democrats apportion national delegates according to state Senate District. In the Galveston County, Obama took 60 percent of the delegates in Senate District 11, which encompasses most of the county. Senate District 17, which includes most of Galveston Island, the Bolivar Peninsula and a sliver of the eastern part of the county, was much closer. Obama took 51 percent of caucus delegates to Clinton’s 48 perc

Anytime National Religious Broadcasters meet, as they have for the past 65 years, you can be sure they have spent much time in earnest prayer asking God to be present.

RUSH LIMBAUGH HAS GOT TO BE DRIVING THE LIBERAL MOONBATS INSANE--Jimmy ZTRANSCRIPT OF RUSH LIMBAUGH: "Both yesterday and today, we have had callers from Texas who are foot soldiers, enlisted officers, in Operation Chaos. Both of these gentlemen, one in Austin, the most recent from Galveston that you just heard, not only voted for Hillary Clinton in the Texas primary, but they went a step further. They went back and caucused. Operation Chaos operatives went back and caucused. These two are just two of many. These two are now delegates to the Texas state convention. They are delegates for Hillary Clinton to the Texas state Democrat convention. They will be there undercover. They will be there as Operation Chaos operatives, but they are not the only two.

Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign wants signatures from the March 4 contest verified before party conventions are held around the state later this month. In a letter sent to the state Democratic Party late Friday, the Clinton campaign requests the March 29 count and state Senate district conventions be postponed until the eligibility of an estimated 1 million caucus-goers are double checked. The Clinton campaign wrote they received more than 2,000 complaints of violations following the historic Texas turnout, which was perhaps

I just arrived in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for my network marketing company's international convention that is taking place this week. Interestingly enough, a lot of people in our industry don't see the value in attending their company's convention. In fact, in many cases it is looked down upon, frowned upon and referred to as a "rah-rah" session.That couldn't be further from the truth.Ever since I got involved in the network marketing industry, I made it my business to attend my company's convention each and every time the company has one. The reason why is because I realize the importance of attending it and the benefits that it provides.I hope to convey to you today what these benefits are so that if you haven't made it a practice to attend, you will do so.The first and foremost reaso

So it appears that Barack Obama is going to win the democrat (not capitalized on purpose) nomination and send Hillary into a tizzy that she may never recover from (God willing).Why would this happen you might ask? Well because democrats are too busy looking at the snake-oil salesman from Illinois with lover's eyes for the past month or so.What this has done is to kill any momentum that Hillary had and made her look irrelevant and old.But more importantly, because Hillary had a lead and because too many of the democrat primaries allowed the candidates to actually split votes, this means that the democrat Super Delegates will play a part in the nomination at the democrat convention.What are Super Delegates you might ask? They are bigwigs in the democrat party ( Congressmen, Part Leaders, etc

The new Nashville convention center is one step closer to reality as the Metro Council agrees to fund all predevelopment activities required to build the center. Funding for the predevelopment work will be limited to the money brought in by revenue sources already in place for the project.

Houston, Texas will once again host The Texas Terrorist Dawah Convention. The event is known as “the largest Islamic convention in the southwest.” The theme this year deals with “focusing on the family”, but as usual the speakers include known associates of convicted terrorists, terror supporters, and 9/11 skeptics. In addition to the various seminars, some of them given by supporters of the most conservative brand of Sunni Islam, the event will also have a variety of carnival rides, including a petting zoo! I think a “Focus on the Terror” theme would be far more appropriate given the current state of things around the world. What’s interesting about this year’s meeting of Islamic radicals in the U.S. is that an FBI agent will be a featured speaker. Special Agent Randall Clark who is a member of the “Cyber Crimes Task Force” will be at the convention to speak about child pornography. Not terrorism, but in fact child pornograph

I’d consider myself to be both cool and undorky so naturally my visit to this turf of faggotry was made possible by the photo submissions of Cipha on Flickr. I will say this though: those gaming conventions produce some fine tushies. Don’t ask me why but these are the Tentacle Booth Babes? I’m not quite sure what it means but I’d imagine Zockersteele von kiss my assing housen would know. Video game poon. Now that’d be a good site. “Fella, have you never seen a woman before? Would you stop following me around? This is the closest you’ve ever come to a vagina?”

The planned expansion of the Indiana Convention Center won't be finished until 2010, but Downtown hotels already are pouring millions of dollars into expanding and upgrading their meeting facilities.The latest project, at the Westin Indianapolis, is a $6 million upgrade of its meeting space. Conventions and business meetings account for about 60 percent of the hotel's business, said Dale McCarty, general manager.

Sadie’s Gaming Infection gives us a look inside the E for All (E4A) gaming event that took place last week. The show/convention was open for all gamers to come and play upcoming games like Guitar Hero III, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Metal Gear Solid 4. Dr. Sadie is always so cheerful it really shows how fun a gaming convention like this E3-replacement can be. Also, she curses like a pirate he he. Have a look: I hope you skipped the last minute of that video, the rest of her interviews were great though. And the best interview she saved for last, she got an interview with the voice of Snake, David Hayter! While he’s reprising his role as Snake’s voice actor in Metal Gear Solid 4, he’s mainly a screenplay writer you might know from X-Men 1 and 2. Sorry for not embedding it, for some reason it’s disabled. Share This

This morning as I passed the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center I noticed it was starting to look . . . well no longer like a huge eye sore. Despite the cheap looking brick materials the buildings are looking pretty good. It would look even better if they could have built the east facing gutters on the auditorium a little differently. If I was in charge I’d hire some top notch graffiti artists to paint some huge murals on the auditorium walls.  But, alas, I am not in charge. The website says their will be Trick or Treat on the 29th. Do they mean this year?

I have just returned from the 2007 annual convention of the National Federation of Paralegal Associations as a delegate from the Western Massachusetts Paralegal Association, and it has been a wonderful experience. The best part of going to the convention, hands-down, is getting to meet a wide variety of paralegals working in a plethora of practice areas. The paralegals here are all enthusiastic and committed to advancing the profession, and that alone, that camaradarie, is worth the trip.When the Navy Legalmen presented supporting associations with certificates, I couldn't help but have tears in my eyes, and I was not the only one. Melissa Adams, the president of the Navy Legalmen Association, said, "I felt very weak and did not know what was going to happen next. You gave us strength and courage more than you know." Adams had recently returned from Iraq.The Registered Paralegals were invited to stand at the beginning of the policy meeting. At least one third of the room stood,
