While in downtown Ashland, enjoying one of the many Shakespeare festival plays or the beautiful Lithia park, you may find yourself looking for a quick bite or a relaxing meal at one of Ashland's restaurants.

Noble Coffee Roasting - Ashland Oregon

At Noble Coffee Roasting, we’re pretty much crazy about coffee. Whether it’s sourcing great coffees that we ensure are responsibly produced (100% certified organic, fairly traded, and shade grown), carefully hand-roasting them in small batches, or educating folks about how to best brew them, we are passionate about the art of the bean. We’re sure that you’ll be able to taste the difference.

Hot off the Press: Folding Brochure for Noble Coffee Roasting | CoinOp

Noble Coffee Roasting began in a garage in Ashland, Oregon. Jared Rennie, co-owner, had one goal: to purchase, roast and distribute fairly and sustainably while creating a product unmatched in quality and flavor. Ashley Nunes, the designer behind this lovely brochure, told us a little bit about the company:

"The" answer? Maybe not, but it comes closer than anything else

I'm taking every opportunity I can find to plug public campaign financing, and making up opportuntities when I can't find them.  There is no magic bullet for what ails politics, but public financing comes far closer than anything else.  It's much closer to the root problem than is term limits, and much sturdier against legal challenge than limits on campaign contributions and advertising.

That last point was made abundantly clear by the Supreme Court in their January 21 decision.  Yes, the Supremes just opened the gate for more corporate and union money in politics, much more, and no, I am not making this up.  There are probably more rounds left in this fight, but I'm not seeing any through-path with a happy ending.  The only good thing about this decision is the way it might redirect attention to the strategy that can work: public financing.  I even think the Supremes did us at least one favor, and here is my exquisite reasoning.

Yes. polls say we don't want public financing.  (I always remember the claim of Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader and a Crown Prince of corporate contributions:  Americans have "already voted" against public financing by over 90%, he says, because fewer than 10% of us check the box on our tax returns to contribute $3 to the presidential election fund). Here's something else polls say: support for public financing grows rapidly as people learn more about  its workings.

SO I SHOUT FROM THE ROOFTOPS about the organization that's gathering the resources and support for public financing.  Please check out what they're doing.  If they -- we -- fail, grim times will  get grimmer.

The 2 types of people in the world: those who see 2 kinds of people in the world and those who don't


I blog on Blue Oregon,  a Huffington Post meets the Democratic Party of Oregon kind of site.  You can burn a lot of time there if your mind twists in a certain direction.

Last night a reponse to one of my posts lit up a bulb for me.   Or re-lit it, really.  It reminded me that the conflict that makes politics and progress so hard really isn't about Republican v Democrat or Right v Left.  It goes deeper than that.  It's really about...well, read here so I don't  repeat myself.   What do you think?

First - the term and a general definition. Each of these can become the focal point of a meditation. As you consider the concept, you may discover more meaning than what is contained in these pages.


Second – how this term applies to motorcycling. Physics, Mental and physical discipline and consistency. These are the skills that are taught by the professional

Bill Moyers Journal . Howard Zinn | PBS
