Brian Griffiths’ Justin Ready interview May 21 2008

Brian Griffiths’ Justin ready interview May 21 2008

Recently Justin Ready announced that he is running for House of Delegates for Carroll County. On Wednesday, May 21, 2008, Brian Griffiths interviewed Mr. Ready “The Justin Ready Interview”: http://blog.briangriffiths.com/2008/05/justin-ready-interveiw.html

~~~~~~

I had the opportunity to interview via email our new State GOP Executive Director Justin Ready. Here is the full Q&A, and it provides a lot of insight into Justin's view on our current situation here in Maryland, where we go for the rest of 2008, and how our party is preparing for 2010 and beyond.

I greatly thank Justin for taking the time to do this!

* * * * * *

Brian Griffiths: You've been on the job for a couple of weeks now, how are you adjusting to the new position.

Justin Ready: I am adjusting pretty well, I think. Its still a process of learning more about day to day responsibilities and technical "stuff" while also looking to move the Party forward and take the next, crucial steps in fundraising and grassroots development. No matter how busy things get, it is an absolute privilege to wake up every morning and be able to work to advance the Maryland Republican Party.

[…]

BG:. Despite the party registration numbers, Maryland has a very vibrant conservative blogosphere. How do you think that bloggers can help the party, and how will you try to engage them?

JR: The conservative blogosphere in Maryland is doing a wonderful job of getting information out to activists all over Maryland. The commentary and issue spotlighting that happens on the blogs really encourages our elected officials and lets them know that they are not alone in the fight. With the dominant print media in this state being so left of center, it is vital that we have alternative outlets.

My plan is to be sure we are keeping bloggers in the loop with what we want to do message wise, while respecting their autonomy. It means treating bloggers as allies but not expecting them to be lockstep with us all the time. In addition, I would like to see the conservative blogosphere call attention to our candidates for office and work to drive volunteers and donations toward GOP candidates that are putting their name on the line to help build our party.

Justin Ready running for House of Delegates for Carroll County


Justin Ready running for House of Delegates for Carroll County: http://www.justinready.com/

I had caught wind of this some time ago - and I even went to to his web site...

Here is Mr. Ready's announcement and where you may find more information about his candidacy: http://www.justinready.com/

Retrieved and posted Sunday, January 31, 2010

Why I'm Running from Justin Ready on Vimeo.

I'm running for House of Delegates to make sure that Carroll County remains a place where families can afford to live and businesses can thrive.

As a small business owner myself, I know the struggle that businesses and working families face just to pay the bills and save a few bucks for the future.

As your Delegate, I'll fight in Annapolis to:

  • Pass real tax relief for our families
  • Eliminate wasteful spending
  • Lighten the load on businesses

As Executive Director of Maryland Republican Party and while serving as staff in the House of Delegates and the State Senate, I fought to put authentic conservative principles into action in practical ways. I will work tirelessly to make a real difference for us in Annapolis.

I'm ready and respectfully, I ask for your vote in the September 14th Republican Primary. Join our campaign by signing up for email updates, making a donation, or following us on Facebook and Twitter.

Let's make Maryland a place where people want to live - not leave!

Sincerely,

Justin Ready

Ready to Listen, Ready to Lead!

The Tubes - Don't Touch me There

Hat Tip: JFS “This tune charted in the summer of 1976 - I loved it. This album, "Young and Rich" (the Tubes 2nd) also featured the wild song, ‘Slipped My Disco.’”





Nagle/Dornacker

Oooo baby,
Move closer to me
I've had all that I can stand
Take hold of me with your hands

Oh baby,
You give me the chills
Whisper low in my ear
Let knows how it feels
just to know you are near

Your body gives me a thrill
as it leans against mine
I love how it feels
with your jeans against mine

The smell of burning leather
as we hold each other tight
As our rivets rub together
flashing sparks into the night
At this moment of surrender darling
if you really care
Don't touch me there

Unzip that jacket
That leather smells so sweet
Put your chest against mine
Feel my heart beat

I love the way your belt fits
The way it hangs so low
So low on your hips my darling
I want you so

I love your sweet, sweet lips
I love your salty taste
I love your finger tips
When I reach for your waist?! Uh-huh...

The smell of burning leather
as we hold each other tight
As our rivets rub together
flashing sparks into the night
At this moment of surrender darling
if you really care
Don't touch me there

I will give my love forever
if you promise me you'll
never never never touch me there
Don't touch me there

Don't touch me there
Please don't
Don't touch me there
Oh no not there
Don't touch me there
Anywhere but there
Don't touch me there
Never--don't ever
Don't touch me there
Do you care?
Don't touch me there
Then don't touch me there
Don't touch me there

January/February 2010 E-newsletter of Off Track Art


======================tracks=======================
An E-newsletter of Off Track Art, an artists’ cooperative gallery
January/February 2010 by Charlotte Laslo, cqlaslo@netscape.net
===================================================
11 Liberty Street (Side Entrance)
Westminster, MD




New Year, new hours:

Tue-Wed: noon -6 PM
Thu-Fri: noon -7 PM
Sat: 10 AM - 5 PM
===========================================================


CELEBRATIONS
Happy Birthday, Off Track Art, celebrating one year as a coop gallery!

Join us in celebrating this young venue, along with celebrating Nancy Schmitt, who this winter becomes the second of rotating guest artists exhibiting with Off Track Art.

Come to our Opening Reception to see her wonderful, richly-colored felted objects.

New work in the gallery also include Linda Van Hart’s Meditation: Sense of Self and The Three Graces, beautiful collage statements created while in Budapest; vibrant new photographs by Gordon Wickes; Mary Decker’s bright, framed assemblages and other fun objects; Melinda Byrd’s intimate gestural drawings of jazz & blues musicians; and many more drawings, paintings, jewelry, and mixed media works that will delight and surprise!

Opening Reception: Friday, February 12, 2010... 5:30-7:30 PM. See you there!

GUEST ARTIST

By combining her fine arts and textile design backgrounds, Nancy Schmitt creates unique vessels, wall hangings and wearables made of felted wool. Her passion for working with wool fiber, along with the organic nature of the medium, help her connect the ancient traditions of felt making with modern artistry. Because wool is an organic medium, she must be willing to surrender preconceived design notions and allow the fiber to develop its own unique shape and form. The surface becomes truly three dimensional with the addition of beads that capture and reflect light. Sculptural cuts in the matte wool add texture and expose color changes in the fiber layers.

NEW WEBSITE

Off Track Art can now be found on the web. Many thanks to Gail Elwell for organizing things and getting our website launched. Look for art images and info on our new website: http://www.offtrackart.org/.

ARTISTS AT WORK at Off Track Art:

Feb. 5, 11, and 26, noon - 5 PM, Charlotte Laslo will be working on her jewelry creations at Off Track Art. Stop by and see them being made using wirework and knotting techniques.

Tuesday, Feb. 2, noon- 6 PM, Melinda Byrd will be at Off Track Art designing and constructing Valentine inspired cards with watercolors, collage, and printmaking. Come and request a custom made card for your loved one—bring photos if you like.

Tuesday, Feb. 23, noon – 3 PM Melinda Byrd will be at Off Track Art, doing watercolor highlighting a limited edition of “Monarchs & Milkweed in Color.”

OUT and ABOUT:

“Off Track goes off track,” an exhibit by gallery members will show this Spring in the Great Hall at Carroll Community College, opening April 18, runs through May 21, 2010.

Melinda Byrd’s work will be featured on Sunday, Jan. 31 in the Carroll County Times, in a photo-documentary of her woodcut process from design inception, transfer to wood, carving, to printing. An on-line video documentary of Handcrafted Traditions by Ken Koons will soon after be offered at: http://www.carrollcounty.tv/handcrafted_traditions/ Watch the process of the development of "May the Wind be Always at Your Back," the print soon to be available in Melinda’s print rack.

Gail Elwell is involved with The Artchicks, "Gathering," running February 7-March 19, 2010, with an opening on February 7, 2-4 PM at the Scott Gallery, Carroll Community College. “Gathering” then travels to Lubbock, Texas, May 17-June 18, at the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts.

Looking forward, Gail’s collage project "52 Weeks" will open at the Christina Collin-Smith Gallery in Cumberland, Md., in June.

Cathy Sawdey participates in the Antreasian Gallery’s exhibit, “Nudes 2010,” February 5 through February 26, 2010, in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore. Reception is Friday, Feb. 5th, 6-9 PM.

Linda Van Hart is teaching Mixed Media Collage I & II, Design I, and Jewelry I, II, & III at McDaniel College spring semester. She will teach Reticulation and Hot Connections this summer at Common Ground Week II, July 12-16, 2010. For information and registration: http://www.commongroundonthehill.org/. These classes may be taken for fun or for undergraduate or graduate credit.

FAREWELL to MEMBERS

We are sad to bid adieu to our creative colleagues and wish them all success as they continue their artistic pursuits on other paths...

Saturday night Roller Derby Opera at the Ag Center arena in Westminster

Saturday night Roller Derby Opera at the Ag Center arena in Westminster

By Kevin Dayhoff January 24, 2010
The local Chesapeake Roller Derby team, “Mutiny” defended the ship well, but it was the South Jersey Derby Girls who staged the mutiny last Saturday evening at the Danele Shipley Memorial Arena at the Carroll County Ag Center in Westminster and took the flag.

The real winners for the evening were the more than 1000 fans that packed the arena for the debut of roller derby in Carroll County on a cold dark night in the middle of the winter.

Inside the crowd warmed up quickly to the thrills, spills, and personalities of the roller derby event of operatic proportions.

Craig Giles of Westminster attended the event with his wife, Lois, and son, Jeff. “It’s a life experience. You have to see it (at least) once. It was either this or go to the opera and (this was so convenient,) you can get right down close and up front with the action,” said Giles. Lois Giles, interjected, “I was curious.”

Jalna Brown, who was there with her sister, Lori Graham, said, “We were out for an adventure and ended-up at the roller derby. It reminds me of skating on Pennsylvania Avenue (in Westminster) in the 70s.”

“I missed my calling,” said Graham; who was all smiles as she followed the action.

Brenda Roper, also from Westminster, interjected, “I think I could take Lori Graham out,” as everyone laughed. “I’m here with my husband, (Gil Roper,) he’s here for the costumes.” A point, which Gil did not deny.

Bruce Main, the afternoon host on WTTR introduced all the players before the event. “I’ll bet you can’t put all the players’ names in a newspaper article,” said Main in an interview at the arena.

All of the skaters, most of whom are employed as professionals, such as lawyers, doctors, accountants and architects in their daytime jobs, adopted a “derby name.” Many of which were, ah, colorful, advised Main as he displayed a print-out of the rosters.

As he surveyed the mayhem and excitement that was unfolding at the arena, Main said WTTR has entered into a media partnership with the roller derby team. “We’re thrilled to be a part of bringing such a colorful event to Carroll County.

“First time we have ever had a roller derby in Carroll County,” repeated Main, who also served as the official starter for the game last Saturday.

“It’s going to be a learning experience with the ‘jammers’ and understanding how the scoring goes,” explained Main.

For more information as to the rules and intricacies of roller derby, be sure to read Explore Carroll writer, Charles Schelle’s “Shipwrecked in a concrete jungle,” and “Mutiny at the Ag Center” in the January 17 Carroll Eagle.

The roller derby “has been well received by the listeners,” continued Main. “I was in tears laughing so hard on air announcing the names last Friday…”

The announcer and one of the organizers of the event, Jeff "Homescar Runner" Tomhave said “it looked like everyone is having a good time.” He mentioned that it was good to see the community come out to support the team and raise money to help fight breast cancer. Tomhave, whose wife, Brandy "Marzipain" Tomhave skates with the team, said he also serves as one of the referees when they practice at the arena during the week,

“It’s been fun,” said the Mutiny team coach, “Siouxsie Slaughter,” during a brief break in the action. Slaughter, goes by the name of Susan Rose at her daytime job at Vinci Stone Products in Marriottsville - and is the owner of the Black Eyed Susan Skate Shop.

“The majority of the people (involved in roller derby locally) are professionals who have gotten together to support raising money for the American Breast Cancer Foundation” the charity partner with the Chesapeake Roller Derby.

Knockout Rose, who was introduced by Main as “Roses are red, some are pink too, but watch out for her or you will be black and blue,” was interrupted, as she started to explain some of the game, by living up to Main’s introduction, and was sent to the penalty box.

As she skated away, she blurted-out that her real name is Monica Yankovich. She is a landscape architect with the firm of Mahan Rykiel Associates.

Knockout Rose explained that she discovered the Ag Center because she is also involved with the Oriole Dog Training Club, which has agility trials at the arena.

Slaughter said of the evening’s bout, “the team worked well together… Some of the (players) are new skaters. Great first event. We’re looking forward to (our next event) at the Shipley Arena in March.”

At that point, she caught the eye of the team physician, Dr. Jason W. Hammond, of the Union Memorial Orthopedics and Sports Medicine practice at the Westminster Professional Building.

Other than a few cuts and bruises, there were no reports of significant injuries at the event. Hammond, explained later, “I don’t skate or I would have to treat myself,” as he kept a watchful eye on the athletes skating in the oval.

Reinforcing the opera component of the drama of the skating event at the arena last Saturday evening was, Lara Bruckmann, a lyric soprano classical opera singer, who sang the national anthem during the opening ceremonies.

Bruckmann, whose skater name is “Doris Day of Reckoning,” also skates with the Junkyard Dolls with the Charm City Roller Girls. She said, “our opener is Saturday, January 30 at the Du Burns Arena in Canton, Baltimore.

I haven’t figured how to use my voice as a weapon on the track yet because I become too winded from skating,” said Bruckmann with a wry smile.

Bruckmann added, “One of the things that makes (local) roller derby so effective as a grass roots is there are so many of the skill sets required represented by all the professionals who skate in the leagues. We have graphic artists, lawyers, nurses…” and it’s all good family fun.

“Mac” Mathias: A Civil Rights Lion
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Former Republican U.S. Senator Charles McCurdy (Mac) Mathias, a native son of Frederick, has died at the age of 87. He was living in Chevy Chase, where his family reported that he died Monday from complications of Parkinson's disease.

Another Adventure Among The Apes
Tom McLaughlin
Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, Indonesia – The orangutan ambled just ahead of us, we were repeatedly told. The guide and tracker, in constant communication by yelling into a hand phones, kept assuring us the ape lingered very near but when we arrived at the spots, mom and son had just left.

Great Expectations
Roy Meachum
Many voices – including mine – were raised against Democrat Martha Coakley’s indolent campaign in last week’s loss to Republican Scott Brown; they bumped heads in Massachusetts’ special election for the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s seat. On further thought I find she was no less guilty than the majority of Americans who swept Barack Obama into the White House.

It’s a Joke, Son
Norman M. Covert
The pollster asked for an assessment of President Barack Hussein Obama’s first year in office. My best response was a guffaw and reference to one of America’s great Post World War II legislators, fiery Southern Senator Beauregard Claghorn, who opined, “It’s a joke, son!”

The Cart Before The Horse…
Farrell Keough
Our delegation to Annapolis has recently voted to endorse a pilot program for a Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) trash mitigation system. Will this program help mitigate the tremendous amount of trash we send to the landfill and potentially save our citizens money? Let’s explore some of the possibilities.

The Law – Revisited
Richard B. Weldon Jr.
It just wouldn’t do to pretend to have enough credibility as a political participant or observer to update the great work penned by French statesman and economist Frederic Bastiat. Monsieur Bastiat’s best-known work, The Law, was published in 1850, written during and after the French Revolution of 1848. French society was turning to socialism, and M. Bastiat crafted an essay designed to halt the conversion.

Information Overload
Steven R. Berryman
Pity the news and information junkie in making it through the last week. Taken in totality, and in “real time,” one can actually see the earth spinning a little faster on its axis; or, at least, notice changes occurring virtually faster than people can consider the implications.

“Let me count the ways…”
Michael Kurtianyk
Last week was my 10th anniversary as a Realtor® in Maryland. I realized this as I renewed my license with the state. It’s odd to think that in 1999, when my wife and I made the decision to move here, that we’d actually have accomplished so much in the short amount of time here in Frederick County. Herewith are some things I’ve learned:

True Democracy
Roy Meachum
Coming one day before Barack Obama’s first anniversary as president, Tuesday’s TheTentacle.com column anticipated the big object lesson held up by both parties:

“Righting” The Ship
Joe Charlebois
With all due respect to Dick Morris, Eileen McGann and other noted columnists, I was the first to re-coin the phrase “It’s the shot heard ‘round the world!” as my wife and I sat watching the Massachusetts special election returns Tuesday evening.

“Parting is such sweet sorrow…”
Tony Soltero
I moved to Frederick County from Baltimore County in the late summer of 2002. I was starting a new job in Northern Virginia, and I decided to move here so I could be within viable commuting distance of anywhere in the Baltimore/Washington area.

Traveling Down the Road
Patricia A. Kelly
As this goes to press, I hope to be asleep after a 12 1/2 hour flight home from Egypt. I've been very lucky to travel and to live in other countries, and my departure reminds me of some of those experiences. The lesson learned, as it can only be learned by seeing in person, is that other people are different than we, in thinking and behavior, and that it's okay. They're quite happy, thank you.

Hating over Haiti
Kevin E. Dayhoff
In a moment that could warm all but the coldest of hearts last Saturday, in the midst of all the despair that is now Haiti, Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton set aside their political differences for a joint appeal to raise money for that earthquake-ravaged country.

Almost in a sewer….
Tom McLaughlin
Medan, Indonesia (Sumatra Island) – The guide books all said I should avoid this place. They were right. What a dump! The city stretches from the Straits to the mountains in one long unending blur of low rise buildings, smog and horrific traffic.

Tuesday, January 19, 2010
January 19, 2010
Roy Meachum
Barack Obama marks his first anniversary in the White House tomorrow. Ironically, the first major test of his administering the nation’s problem comes today in the election for the late Ted Kennedy’s senate seat.

Politics, Motorcycles, Basketball and FCC
Nick Diaz
Oh, what fun it is to ride the waves of local and state news these days. There’s never a dull moment. Something will happen.

Monday, January 18, 2010
Humorous Politics
Steven R. Berryman
Don’t “mis-underestimate” the value of humor in the politics of the day ’round this county of late. Pardon the Bush-ism, but it seems to fit the chaos. The amount of inherent comedy now is limited only by your personal perspective in our political matters at hand here in Maryland.

Marriage, Politics, Haiti and Conan O’Brien
Michael Kurtianyk
So I asked my best friend, my wife Brenda, what I should write about this week. Her response was: “How about love and marriage?”
