Skip to comments.RON PAUL: REACTIONARY OR VISIONARY?
Posted on 02/04/2012 5:31:16 AM PST by IbJensen
After his fourth-place showing in Florida, Ron Paul, by then in Nevada, told supporters he had been advised by friends that he would do better if only he dumped his foreign policy views, which have been derided as isolationism.
Not going to do it, said Dr. Paul to cheers. And why should he?
Observing developments in U.S. foreign and defense policy, Paul's views seem as far out in front of where America is heading as John McCain's seem to belong to yesterday's Bush-era bellicosity.
Consider. In December, the last U.S. troops left Iraq. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta now says that all U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan will end in 18 months.
The strategic outposts of empire are being abandoned.
The defense budget for 2013 is $525 billion, down $6 billion from 2012. The Army is to be cut by 75,000 troops; the Marine Corps by 20,000. Where Ronald Reagan sought a 600-ship Navy, the Navy will fall from 285 ships today to 250. U.S. combat aircraft are to be reduced by six fighter squadrons and 130 transport aircraft.
Republicans say this will reduce our ability to fight and win two land wars at once say, in Iran and Korea. Undeniably true.
Why, then, is Ron Paul winning the argument?
The hawkishness of the GOP candidates aside, the United States, facing its fourth consecutive trillion-dollar deficit, can no longer afford to sustain all its alliance commitments, some of which we made 50 years ago during a Cold War that ended two decades ago, in a world that no longer exists.
As our situation is new, said Abraham Lincoln, we must think and act anew.
As Paul argues, why close bases in the U.S. when we have 700 to 1,000 bases abroad? Why not bring the troops home and let them spend their paychecks here?
Begin with South Korea. At last report, the United States had 28,000 troops on the peninsula. But why, when South Korea has twice the population of the North, an economy 40 times as large, and access to U.S. weapons, the most effective in the world, should any U.S. troops be on the DMZ? Or in South Korea?
U.S. forces there are too few to mount an invasion of the North, as Gen. MacArthur did in the 1950s. And any such invasion might be the one thing to convince Pyongyang to fire its nuclear weapons to save the hermit kingdom.
But if not needed to defend the South, and a U.S. invasion could risk nuclear reprisal, what are U.S. troops still doing there?
Answer: They are on the DMZ as a tripwire to bring us, from the first day of fighting, into a new land war in Asia that many American strategists believe we should never again fight.
Consider Central Asia. By pushing to bring Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, and building air bases in nations that were republics of the Soviet Union two decades ago, the United States generated strategic blowback.
China and Russia, though natural rivals and antagonists, joined with four Central Asian nations in a Shanghai Cooperation Organization to expel U.S. military power from a region that is their backyard, but is half a world away from the United States.
Solution: The United States should inform the SCO that when the Afghan war is over we will close all U.S. military bases in Central Asia. No U.S. interest there justifies a conflict with Russia or China.
Indeed, a Russia-China clash over influence and resources in the Far East and Central Asia seems inevitable. Let us get out of the way.
But it is in Europe that America may find the greatest savings.
During the Cold War, 300,000 U.S. troops faced hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops from northern Norway to Central Germany to Turkey. But not only are there no Russian troops on the Elbe today, or surrounding West Berlin, they are gone from Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Between Russia and Poland lie Belarus and Ukraine. Moscow no longer even has a border with Turkey.
Why, when NATO Europe has two nuclear powers and more than twice the population of a Russia whose own population has shrunk by 8 million in 20 years and is scheduled to shrink by 25 million more by 2050, does Europe still need U.S. troops to defend it?
She does not. The Europeans are freeloading, as they have been for years, preserving their welfare states, skimping on defense and letting Uncle Sam carry the hod.
In the Panetta budgets, America will still invest more in defense than the next 10 nations combined and retain sufficient power to secure, with a surplus to spare, all her vital interests.
But we cannot forever be first responder for scores of nations that have nothing to do with our vital interests. As Frederick the Great observed, "He who defends everything defends nothing."
Zinga!.... oh you mean you weren't being sarcastic?
Which one means "nutcase"?
Ron Paul represents my core values. However, the reality is that we'll be at war within a year..
If those are the only choices, I'll have to write-in "nutcase smacktard".
Neither . . . "COMPLETE NUTJOB" is the most appropriate description.
Just left a church where the pastor was all over public forums on the internet making derogatory and sometimes very judgemental statements about all in the GOP field except Ron Paul, his candidate. He even went so far as to manipulate a sermon to buck up Paul while hitting Gingrich over the head with the ex-wife's "She said, he said Open Marriage" interview. I've not met many Ron Paulbots as these folks are called. But now that I have it's almost cult like in their devotion. That's kind of scary.
If it's ElRon we're being asked to label, I would expect "douchebag" to be among the choices, and I didn't see it.
Which is JimRob's prerogative, given that this is privately owned web-space. Just FYI.
Ron Paul is a self-serving creep.
I would say to you that Congressman Paul has some great ideas about the monetary system. I don't advocate for him because of his foreign policy, which I find completely out of touch with the reality of today's technology and the lengths our enemies are committed to go to destroy us. I truly wish the Congressman had a different view, but he refuses to change his position. That's a big problem for him. He needs to get out of the race.
I remember when Palin got tripped up on the Bush Doctrine question. Being a political junky I knew all about the Bush Doctrine, and had serious questions about it since it when against all of our precedent in military affairs. You obviously have bought into the idea that preemptive military strikes are justifiable. While I can see the merit of say Israel striking Iraq in 1981 to take out Iraq's nuclear weapons program I fail to see why we had to invade Iraq and spend 1000s of lives and 100s of billions of dollars building Iraqis schools, roads and water treatment plants. And why with Bin Lauden Dead are we still in Afghanistan?
The neocons have used the pretext of a justifiable preemptive strike (Bush Doctrine) on a physical treat to our security to engage in a ruinous policy of expanding the "Empire". The bush Doctrine as now practiced means we do what we want, where we want, when we want with out regard to costs either in US lives/dollars or easily foreseen "blowback".
Considering we are past broke, deeply in debt and grossly over extended militarily perhaps a reset on foreign policy is not such a bad idea? Maybe a return to the Monroe Doctrine? "Mexican officials said Wednesday almost 13,000 people died in drug violence in the first nine months of 2011" Maybe our backyard needs attention? Just saying.
I help pay for the space.
Pat is building up Paul knocking Newt, all in the hopes of saving his sister's new crush mittens.
I usually use self-serving, un-principled, and slimey but your descrirtion is short, accurate and to the point.
I also have problems with his stand on drugs and prostitution and that he was for open borders before he was against them and has stated that now only drug smugglers want to come across anyway, even if he is running for president to fix our economy and create jobs, which of course add more illegals to the mix of those crossing the border. I also don't like his association with stormfront and organizations that are primarily rascist. And then there was the remark that said we had nothing to fear from a nuclear Iran because they don't have an ICBM capable of reaching the US, while ignoring they are close to if not already having one that would reach Israel and him obviously having no insight to ahkaninejad (don't really care if I spell his name right or not)and his belief that when the 12th Iman comes their duty is to destroy Israel and they themselves will be destroyed and go to haeven with their 72 virgins. They are both NUTS. Paul has so many faults and negatives it is a waste of time and effort to even discuss anything he may happen to be right about.. Any one of these "issues" I have brought up would destroy a serious candidate, of course I don't consider Paul a serious candidate
I do believe the US should pull out of Europe, not only because they are freeloading but because they are giving aid and comfort to an enemy : Islam
I sure don't have all the answers to what you stated in your post, but if you think Ron Paul does or think he makes good sense, then you're nuts.
Some things he has said have merit and I don't have a problem in discussing them, only not in the context of RP or his campaign.
Romney's track record on gun control is pretty well known: he supports a ban on "assault weapons".
Gingrich voted FOR the Lautenberg Amendment, which means if you were were convicted of a misdemeanor crime of "domestic violence" even before the passage of the act, you can't own a gun (ex post facto gun-grabbing). link
Ron Paul has consistently voted against gun control.
Why is this issue so absent from the discussion?
Every other election, gun control has been a (if not the) deal-breaker issue.
It is now official. Pat Buchanan cares more about isolationism than illegal immigration. He is shilling for Ron Paul, even after Paul compared people who wish to reduce illegal immigration to Nazis.
Whatever he is, he is not a get-it-done conservative. What has the man accomplished, actually? I mean besides the speeches and books?
Oh, that's right, I forgot, he was chief executive officer of a newsletter.
To be fair we must admit that with the majority of America's Congress there wasn't a way in hell that Dr. Paul's proposals would make it through.
Imagine! Abolish the Fed, the DOE which was one of Jimmie Carter's greatest achievements. Close up our foreign bases and bring those troops back to CONUS to spend their money at home.
Our devotion is not to Paul, it is to the alternative he represents. My opinion of Paul on foreign policy is that he is right for the wrong reasons.
I appreciate your level headed response and I respect your views although they do not represent mine. I'd like to go a little further and explain the comment on cult behavior I made, because I just came away from a very unhealthy experience.
Sadly, my experience with an individual who passionately supported Ron Paul was the pastor of my former church. His devotion to Congressman Paul was blinding to where he was mocking, openly mocking other GOP candidates in public forums. In December alone, his facebook page was 95% political commentary and 94% supportive of Ron Paul. The other 1% made reference to religion. When called out on it, he'd justify his actions and doubled down. This is why I found him cult like—perhaps I chose the wrong verbiage for this type of behavior. But it is disturbing.
As a private citizen his public mockery of the GOP field and assertions that Ron Paul was the only candidate walking a Christian faith was fine; as the pastor of a church representing his congregation, he crossed a boundary. And this is why he is the pastor of my FORMER church.
I'm sorry to hear it. I'll pray for your pastor, he is wrong if he is allowing his politics to alienate his church.
Although I am a Paul supporter, I also acknowledge that in the unlikely event that he could win, the consequences of his radical actions of reformation could be disastrous.
We can only trust in God, not in men.

This is the logo I designed for my friend @castello, who is a MD/PhD student focusing on Alzheimer's research. I wanted to capture everything that is science in a modern way that spoke to who he is and the research he does. We both initiated this project because we agreed that science design didn't need to suck so hard, and this is my way of trying to make science design awesome.
The hexagonal form in the middle is a combination of his initials MAC that combine and resemble cell division - one of the very first things we study in science class. This also takes a hexagonal form, which is a common shape found in science materials. I developed an icon pattern to use on his materials, which is subtly implemented in the background (I'll post more on that in another shot.) We went with the hues of blue and magenta as a subtle extrapolation of the Alzheimer's color, a beautiful purple.

The Struggle to Transform the Military
Donald Rumsfeld's tenure as secretary of defense will continue to be marked by his attempt to transform the military into a lighter, nimbler force better able to take advantage of new technology and respond to new threats. Despite (or perhaps because of) the rancor he has generated within the Pentagon, Rumsfeld has managed to shake up a hidebound institution that, if left to its own devices, would probably prefer to endlessly refight the 1991 Gulf War.
The continued fighting in Iraq, however, shows the limits of what he has accomplished. The U.S. military is superb at defeating conventional forces--as its three-week blitzkrieg from Kuwait to Baghdad in the spring of 2003 demonstrated--but not nearly as good at fighting the kind of guerrilla foes it has confronted since. To be sure, many of the current problems in Iraq result from Rumsfeld's failure to send enough troops there and from the precipitous disbandment of the Iraqi military. But they also reveal more fundamental shortcomings in U.S. capabilities for dealing with unconventional threats.
Many policymakers and military officers will no doubt react to the problems in Iraq by trying to eschew this type of conflict in the future. Just as there was an aversion to fighting guerrilla wars after Vietnam (manifested in the Powell Doctrine), there will be a similar backlash after Iraq, no matter how it turns out. Most U.S. soldiers understandably prefer to focus on what they do best: beating conventional foes in the open field.

10 July 2004
The XRMS project team has decided to release a new
tarball. It has been three months since the last tarball release, and the stability and functionality of the XRMS application has been greatly improved.
Major improvements have been made in workflow, activity, and relationships code. There are also enhancements throughout the user interface, many of them directly due to community involvement and contributed patches.
This release also contains the usual assortment of minor bug fixes and enhancements.
Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this release!
As always, this tarball release is a 'point in time' release.
If it has been a significant amount of time since the date of this tarball release, you should consider installing or upgrading to a development snapshot, available from the XRMS home page.

Invest in Real Estate in Siliguri
There are many strong reasons that point to Siliguri being THE place for investing in real estate. Its an ideal city and time to invest in property market. Even better if you are planning to migrate to this city and its peaceful surroundings, permanently. The main reason being its strategic location as shown in the map below:
The strategic location of Siliguri makes it a base for essential supplies to regions of North-East India, Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh.
The city is located in the Siliguri Corridor or Chicken's Neck; a very narrow strip of land linking mainland India to its north-eastern states. Being situated in the plains at the base of the Himalaya mountains, it also connects the hill stations such as Gangtok, Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong, Mirik and Dooars too.
Relocate to Siliguri. Make it your home
There are many reasons that can be pointed out on why Siliguri and its surrounding areas are an ideal destination for anyone who is looking to relocate to a new town or a city.
- The weather is not extreme. Summers can go upto 38 oC and winters are never below 10 oC. During summer there is always the hill to escape. There is greenery all around cause the city is still young and developing. The pollution levels are much lesser here.
- Away from communal and regional tensions, this city is an epicenter of commercial growth and prosperity . People from all cultures and ethnicity reside here. You will have a chance to do what you have always wanted with a sense of peace and security.
- Siliguri is a booming city that has the feel of a metro and country sides surrounding it. There are malls like COSMOS and ORBIT, discos like Nasha and Zorb. There is a township – Uttarayon, and many more are underway. The city recently also witnessed the arrival of its first set of multiplexes, CINEMAX in early Dec'09 and INOX on Christmas of 2009. There are also many Clubs and Resorts around the city.
- In terms of 'cost of living', the city still survives on less. Fruits and vegetables are dirt cheap in the seasons. Transportation cost is also way below the levels of other cities. Most of the other costs of living are pretty much manageable.
- When you relocate to this city you have a chance to start fresh. You can make new acquaintances and friends. You have the chance to shape your society the way you want it. People of all ethnicity have made Siliguri their home. You have a chance to take part in building a new cosmopolitan destination and grow old with the city.

Courtesy 'Stache Media.
Childish Gambino, the moniker for actor Donald Glover, has emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in music. With a unique blend of hip-hop with multiple genres, combined with lyrical genius, Childish Gambino has gone from a viral cult following to a mega sensation. Spin Magazine praises, "...[his EP's] all have showcased Glover's fiercely clever, plugged-nose flow, which recalls both Lil Wayne's verbal skywriting and Kanye West's vulnerable-braggart defensiveness."
Please feel free to stream and repost here: http://www.mtv.com/videos/childish-gambino/706255/bonfire.jhtml#id=1518071 .Debut album, CAMP, is due out November 15th, 2011 on Glassnote Records.
Childish Gambino has released two mixtapes," I Am Just A Rapper" and "I Am Just A Rapper 2" and in March 2011, Childish Gambino released an untitled EP that featured the hit "Freaks and Geeks".

League510 are back again, and with their new video, "S.O.S.," the usually fun-loving and party-ready group has decided to take their music to a more serious place, one that focuses on the harsh realities of day-to-day life in Oakland. "The main inspiration for this song was the senseless violence that happens in our city, Oakland, CA," remarks TK, who spits one of the songs two verses, with fellow League member Mr. Knowitall holding down the other.

"I couldn't fit them all on one CD but this should be a good 'Kwame, the producer, starter pack', and I hope you guys enjoy what I have been working so hard on for years. I try my best to be a well-rounded producer and musician but still remember where I originate from... HIP HOP!

Video: Awon & Kameleon Beats - "Concentration Gradient"
Courtesy Wanja Lange.
Having worked on the album for some time now the duo feel they have constructed a project that will hit a nerve with its listeners. Tracks like "Had Enough" and "They Coming" focus on the pressures and hardships of modern society while songs like "Heaven" take a more positive and forward-thinking stance. The vintage hip hop sound is still the underlying force behind their music but this project is much more aggressive musically and lyrically. Awon's delivery is firmer and Kameleon ventures into newer territory sample-wise. The result is an album hip hop heads young and old can feel.

From Frank T. Gallagher, Superintendent of Schools
It is at this time of the year that we realize that the end of the school year is upon us and feelings of anticipation and excitement are in the air. Our spring arts and athletics seasons are in full swing and I encourage you to attend some of our outstanding events.
This time of the school year has also become associated with standardized testing and while we understand the need to assess the achievement of our students, we remain focused on the "whole child." Our desire to meet the needs of our students propels us forward and we are excited about many new initiatives in the district, one of these being Parent University. To date, we have hosted three of these sessions at which parents can learn more about our curricular programs. These content-rich workshops are led by administrators, teachers and other leaders within our community and all members of the public are invited to attend.
We are preparing our district budget for the 2016-2017 school year and despite budget challenges at the state level, we are on schedule to present a proposed budget this month. We were able to persevere through the Commonwealth budget stalemate, but I am encouraging our local legislators to fully fund schools through the Fair Funding Formula.

Best Friends Sanctuary (Community Pet Advocates) is a 501 C3 (not for profit) organization dedicated to helping to reduce the unwanted animal population in Fentress County. Our mission is to assist in placing abandoned, unwanted, or abused animals in loving, responsible homes, promote spaying or neutering of the dogs and cats and to provide humane education. There is no shelter or county run dog pound in Fentress County thus there is a great need for this service. Our rescue program is designed to help cats and dogs who are homeless find permanent homes. Most of the animals have been abandoned in rural areas. They are not considered adoptable until they have been spayed or neutered, and have their immunization shots brought up to date. We always have puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats available for adoption. Our adoption fees are less than our costs.
Since April 2006, we have been working with a no kill shelter out of state. As of January 2013, we have transported 4225 dogs and puppies to the SPCA organization. They have placed all that we sent in loving, indoor homes. This has been a blessing. Without this outlet, these animals would have been put down, hit by cars, or roaming the streets as there are not enough homes in Fentress County to support the unwanted pet population. It costs a minimum for shots, worming, flea medication, etc. of $20 per animal taken to Ohio plus the cost of gasoline and maintenance to our van. We have no financial support from the city or county.

'Weeds' writer signs seven-figure deal
Lionsgate is high on "Weeds" scribe Matthew Salsberg, who has sealed a seven-figure overall deal with the studio's TV division.
Two-year production and development pact comes as overall deals are increasingly tough to get. Salsberg will continue on "Weeds" as a co-exec producer of the show's upcoming fifth season and will be bumped up to exec producer on season six, which Showtime has already picked up.
He will also create and develop comedies for Lionsgate.
"Weeds" has been "the most enjoyable and rewarding experience of my career," Salsberg said. Lionsgate's had a rough week, with a bad earnings report and news that it had lost financing on several films. Salsberg's credits include HBO's "Entourage" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm"; he also penned the 2007 pilot "Me and Lee" for Fox. He joined "Weeds" as a co-producer in the show's first season.
The "Weeds" writing team, including Salsberg, was recently nominated for a Writers Guild kudo in the TV comedy writing category.

We keep hearing and reading about Bollywood stars love life. But do you about the love story of the most famous romantic pair?
Read their story here…
Laila-Majnu is the name that is taken whenever there is talk about love or the most romantic pair. They have died, but their love remains alive even today. The tomb of their love still exists in a small village called Binjor, which is situated in Rajasthan near Shri Ganganagar, two kms away from Pakistan's border.
Many people come to this tomb everyday even today…
It is said that although Laila and Majnu were in deep love, but Laila's brother and parents were not in favour of this relationship.
Because Laila did not want to part with Majnu and her family was not supporting their relationship, Laila and Majnu ran away from Sindh and settled in Binjor. After some time both of them died there.
People of Binjor buried bith Laila and Majnu there itself and made a tomb there. Couple even today visit this tomb and seek blessings for their love life from Laila and Majnu.
Married people of all religions, whether Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh or Christians bow their heads in this tomb.
People even organize a fair every year on June 15 in this tomb, where thousands of people from India and Pakistan both come.
People say that married couple should visit this tomb once in their lifetime for a long loved life.
According to Kivdanti, a chirag used to be lit here every day sometime back. This chirag used to then move on its own to Pakistan. Old people of the village are a witness to it.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
At the age of twenty-two, Jennifer Worth leaves her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in post war London's East End slums. The colorful characters she meets while delivering babies all over London from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lives to the woman with twenty-four children who can t speak English to the prostitutes and dockers of the city's seedier side illuminate a fascinating time in history. Beautifully written and utterly moving, Call the Midwife will touch the hearts of anyone who is, and everyone who has, a mother.

Music had always been her passion, and in 1973 she left nursing in order to study music intensively, teaching piano and singing for about twenty-five years. Jennifer died in May 2011 after a short illness, leaving her husband, Philip; two daughters; and three grandchildren. Her books have all been bestsellers in England.
A British voice actress with over a decade of experience, Nicola Barber has won two Earphone Awards from AudioFile Magazine for her audio book narration and has recorded national radio spots for Verizon Wireless, Virgin Airlines, and Hilton Hotels, as well as a national TV commercial for Oatmeal Crisp.

text: Magic Makes It All Complete Introduction Magic Makes It All Complete, a team that uses balance and synergy to win over opponents. Ever since generation V begun, most of my best teams always ended up being drizzle teams, but we'll get to team building later. In this special RMT I decided to incorporate my Ponies and Pokemon into a single post. And for all you bronies, see how many obvious and obscure MLP references you can find. As for everyone else, have a good time while on my thread, post comments, rates, constructive criticism, but please don't troll off topic or post your satanic comments about how ponies are lame. Happy rating everyone! Team Building I started with my old rain stall team from summer, however after M Dragon posted his famous rain stall team in October, and since the teams were so similar in function and role I trashed the team completely. I'm pretty awful at building teams from scratch, and since I'v been team rating on Smogon for a while now, I decided to choose six Pokes that most teams are weak against. I had no intention of this becoming the final team, since it completely lacked order, synergy, and basic roles. Immediately after I started testing I started replacing. First I completely altered Dragonite's set, from there I used Politoed, since I finally made up my mind that I wanted a rain team. I switched out Terrakion since he was punching a hole in my clouds now, and replaced him with Starmie. Starmie offered me a much needed Rapid Spin support, and additional rain abusing benefits. My original teammates of Rotom-W and Ferrothorn stayed mostly the same, and the team was built around them (One more reason why I added drizzle). Testing started to get better at this point, so I decided what theme I wanted. Since now I had a start at balanced rain, I begun to tweak the sets. Dragonite's set got switched to the rain tank set, and I slapped HP(Grass) on Starmie instead of Grass Knot. Most of the teams I had made in the past had Latias on them, but I wanted something that would better reap the benefits of rain. Tornadurs was fast and powerful, and great in rain. STAB Hurrican hit everything hard and so did Focus blast. However, Tornadrus didn't offer much diversity to my team, since he was like Dragonite but more fragile. Tornadurs was also not very good at combating sand teams, so I replaced him with Jirachi, who would be able to support my team better. I spent the next few weeks tweaking and pioneering a Cosmic Power set, but after much testing and guidance from others on Smogon, I changed the set to a Reflect abuser that would be able to take strong physical hits, but still able to pass benefits to the rest of my team. I also made other minor changes in move sets and EV distribution, and thats how I made the team the way it is now. In Depth Politoed (Fluttershy) @ Choice Scarf Drizzle 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Hp Modest -Hypnosis -Hidden Power (Grass) -Ice Beam -Surf Everypony knows that drizzle is needed for every rain team. Fluttershy brings life giving rain to the other ponies on her team that so desperately need it. She must be kept alive at all costs when fighting other weather inducers, and she loves to revenge kill with powerful moves like Surf and Ice Beam. She is far from dragonshy, since her Ice Beam can out-speed OHKO almost all non-boosted dragon types. Hypnosis is great for putting Pokes to sleep at the beginning of the match, that way she can always pull her weight. She doesn't like to use Focus Blast since it has accuracy almost as horrid as Hypnosis, so she uses Hidden power (Grass) instead, that way she can revenge kill opposing water and ground types. Fluttershy begins part 1 of my typical starting strategy, where I put a Poke to sleep, then switch to Applejack or Rainbow Dash to either set rocks, or to begin sweeping. Her excellent speed allows her to check many threats that have stat boosted offenses, some of these being Scizor, Lucario, Infernape, Volcarona, Landorus, Conkeldurr, Magnezone, and many others. Keep in mind that if Fluttershy does sweep, she usually does it late game after her teammates and Stealth Rock have dealt some nice damage. If I do send out Fluttershy, it is usually only for a short time, since gorilla warfare is one of her favorite tactics. She offers my team two of the most important supports anypony can give. Rain is by far the greatest, since without it Twilight Sparkle and Applejack would have even more problems with fire types. Sleep is the second support she offers. Although it is unreliable, she has the speed to pull it off. Also since many foes switch when Fluttershy is sent in, it is easy to get the Hypnosis on the switch. The best thing about Hypnosis is that it usually means that Fluttershy will be able to pull her weight, especially in the situations when I will be using Pinkie Pie far more than Fluttershy. So my advice to the foes of Fluttershy is, don't let her stare you down. Ferrothorn (Applejack) @ Leftovers Iron Barbs 252 Hp / 248 SpD / 8 Def Impish -Protect -Stealth Rock -Leech Seed -Power Whip Applejack is one of the three ponies that made it to the final team all the way from the start, and for good reason. Her main role is to set Stealth Rocks, which helps this team offensively and defensively. Her EVs provide her with equal defensive stats, for all around great resistances. Protect allows her to predict choice users' moves, that way the appropriate switch can be made. Protect also allows her excellent recovery when coupled with Leftovers and Leech Seed. Power Whip is for great attacking strength and STAB, and also allows her to break some types of substitutes. She completes part 2 of my standard starting strategy. She can come in on a sleeping foe and lay rocks and Leech Seed. Then a switch to Rainbow Dash so she can restore her Hp with Leech Seed instead, and batter away with powerful moves at the same time. Since the sleep mechanics are changed this generation, the foe will probably not want to switch since that will start the sleep countdown all over again. Applejack also acts as a makeshift spin blocker for her team, since foes won't like touching Iron Barbs and loosing a chuck of their Hp every time they have to spin. Most spinners in OU are also water types, so Applejack can OHKO or 2HKO them with Power Whip. Applejack hates fire and fighting types, and even with rain most fire type attacks will be a 2HKO. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie are usually the best switch-ins, since they both take fire types quite well, and they prevent Applejack from being set up fodder. The real reason Applejack is here, is because in many late game situations she can be extremely hard to KO. Most Pokes can't get a status condition on her, since if I see one coming by using Protect I can throw in Rarity to just recover it off with Natural Cure at a later point. Applejack is all together, one of the hardest working members of this team. Dragonite (Rainbow Dash) @ Leftovers Multiscale 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Hp Modest -Roost -Brick Break -Thunder -Hurricane One of my favorite Ponies to use on this team. Rainbow Dash is one of my main sweepers, able to put large dents in most defensive pokes (Hurricane is a 3HKO even on max special defense Ferrothorn). Brick Break helps me win the weather war against Tyranitar, since most Tyranitar sets are out-sped and KOed by Brick Break. Brick Break is also good against the occasional HO team. Blissey and Chansey like to come in and try to wall Dragonite, since they figure it is a pure special tank, so Brick Break gives me an edge against those foes as well. Modest is run because I don't want to sacrifice defense, plus Brick Break is seldom used. And yes, Modest Rainbow Dash is pretty ironic. She and Pinkie Pie have excellent type synergy together, since Pinkie Pie's lone weakness is grass which Rainbow Dash can take no problem. Pinkie Pie returns the favor by taking ice attacks for her. Between these two ponies, opponents often find it difficult to take Rainbow down. Did I mention the nice Parylasis and Confusion support that Thunder + Hurricane provides. Rarity also switches in to take status conditions from time to time, since Rainbow Dash hates Poison and Paralysis. Sun teams can be a real menace to her, since Hurricane and Thunder have 50% accuracy in the sun. Usually when I fight a sun team I try to Hypnosis Ninetails on the first turn with Fluttershy, and if it misses, and I am hit with Energy Ball I usually take heavy damage. Pinkie Pie can do pretty heavy damage with Volt Switch, and with rocks I can usually batter it down. Other than that, Rainbow Dash usually doesn't have much trouble, probably just because she's 20% cooler than the rest of the team. Rotom-W (Pinkie Pie) @ Choice Scarf Levitate 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Hp Modest -Trick -Hidden Power (Ice) -Volt Switch -Hydro Pump She's faster than Rainbow Dash, and has fewer weakness than about 95% of the OU meta game. Pinkie Pie isn't just pink and fun, she is a ruthless assassin than will haul you off to Siberia if you let your guard down for a second. Trick allows her to cripple opposing defensive threats, most notably Ferrothorn. Hidden Power (Ice) is for finishing Pokes like Salamence and Dragonite. Volt Switch does heavy damage to a variety of foes, and allows her to avoid danger. Hydro Pump is powerful STAB, OHKOing most Pokes that don't have a resistance to it. Pinkie Pie prefers max special attack, since max speed doesn't out-speed much that it doesn't already. Pinkie Pie hates Protect. Protect flavored cake, Protect balloons, Pinkie hates it all. Protect users can scout her choice option and then send in a threat that can easily take the attack or even be immune to it. When she is Protect scouted, she usually switches with another of her teammates that will have an advantage over the foe sent in. The only other thing on Pinkie's hate list is Ferrothorn, since she usually has to sacrifice herself to Trick it. But getting killed by an overgrown weed for the good of the team is what friendship is about. Jirachi (Twilight Sparkle) @ Leftovers Serene Grace 252 Hp / 216 Def / 40 Spe Bold -Reflect -Wish -U-Turn -Thunder Twilight Sparkle uses here magic to help support the rest of the team. She is by far the most unique and strange of all her teammates. Her defense stat reaches a whopping 638 after Reflect, giving her time to pass wishes and paralyze powerful physical attackers without taking much damage. She has spent more time researching and testing her set than any other member of the team, and that work yielded her an extremely unexpected set and role. Her quite fair 100 base speed and the 40 speed EVs allow her to U-Turn away from a variety of opponents. This prevents her from being trapped by Magnet Pull, and allows her to deal some damage on the switch when passing Reflect and Wishes. Her most notable weaknesses are to strong special attackers, especially to water types who's STABs in rain deal extensive damage. She is also weak to stat boosting fire types, although these are usually predictable and Pinkie Pie can come out and OHKO them with Hydro Pump. Twilight Sparkle also is on the team to counter dragon types. Most Dragon Dancing foes could sweep this team if it wasn't for her, and since she can U-Turn away from Magnezone, mag + drag teams pose little threat. The greatest advantage Twilight Sparkle has is the element of surprise. When I U-Turn out, or set up Reflect right in their face, or take little damage from STAB opposing Earthquakes, my opponent becomes completely bewildered. Twilight Sparkle is the number one supporter for my team, and her magic makes it all complete. Starmie (Rarity) @ Leftovers Natural Cure 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Hp Timid -Rapid Spin -Thunder -Ice Beam -Surf Rarity, she is here to take status and to Rapid Spin area hazards away, which would render my team useless. Thunder provides bolt-beam coverage, so that Rarity is able to cover a wide variety of foes. Like with Fluttershy, I use Ice Beam to finish off dragon types, and Surf as a reliable STAB. I usually try to keep Rarity alive for as long as possible, or at least until my foe looses their area hazard setter. Most speed boosters can tear right through Rarity, so I keep her away from them. She also functions as a backup sweeper for Flutttershy, just in case she is put to sleep or hit by a Critical. She has considered Thunder, and with additional testing, it took the spot of Hidden Power (Grass). ConclusionSpecial Thanks too Woodchuck for helping me with Jirachi's set, and to all the people who helped me test this team. Feel free to tweak, rate, use, and comment on my team. I hope you enjoyed your time on my thread. ~Dragone

"Lago di Garda" Lago di Garda by Vanity666
Lago di Garda Travel Guide: 495 reviews and 1,182 photos
Lake Garda (Italian Lago di Garda or Benaco) is the largest lake in Italy. It is located in Northern Italy, about half-way between Venice and Milan. It is in an alpine region and was formed by glaciers at the end of the last ice age. The lake and its shoreline are divided between the provinces of Verona (to the south-east), Brescia (south-west), and Trentino region (north). The lake is a major tourist destination, with a number of hotels and resorts along its shore.

Lucasforum mods' hypocrisy proven!
Much as I disagree with him, I can well understand Sephira's position.
Because the mods on these boards ARE hypocrites!
Twice now, I've posted to this topic since yesterday. And twice now my posts have been deleted.
Now, I'll accept it the first time to some degree, since I (1) did not add to the discussion and (2) forgot to include a smiley as a carte blache to say whatever I please.
The reason behind this a post that Rogue Nine posted in the discussion of the Bioware/LA partnership in response to a heated debate between lukeiamyourdad and myself.
I both reported the post and PM'ed several mods/admins on it, since I found the comment about "nerd rage" to be inflamatory and condescending content.
However, as you can see, the post is still there, as the mods/admins told me that the smiley made it acceptable, while I maintained that it didn't matter, because the content of the post is flamebait whether a smiley appears or not. YMMV.
However, when I quote Rogue Nine for saying: "The amount of nerd rage in this thread is so thick. xD" in a different topic and then agree with it, after Rogue Nine's own heated debate with Sephira, my posts are simply deleted without comment. And while I accept it the first time for the reasons stated above, I do not the second, since (1) I did include a smiley and (2) I did make several comments that speak to the topic and are to the point.
Yet my post is still deleted. And sadly, I cannot say that I'm surprised.
The only good thing about is, that we now have
proof positive of the hypocricy, double standards and bigotry of the mods/admins on these boards!!!
And so we have a class-based board with one set of rules for the mods/admins, and another for everyone else.
Now, the mods have the choice to either accept this and do something about it or else to ban me from these boards, thus proving my point. They have that choice, because I will allow none other and continue to repost this message to as many mods/admins and relevant topics as I feel is reasonable until something happens.
So if you read this and find that I stop posting, you will know what option they chose...

AbstractKeeping vending machines on a Naval ship filled with soda can be very time consuming as a result of the distance from the storerooms to the vending machines, lack of transportation aids, and the high per capita consumption rate of those onboard the ship. As manpower needs increase, devoting large amounts of time (up to six man-years for large ships) to stock these vending machines becomes a larger problem. Mainstream Engineering has designed a "Quick Chill" system that can chill a can of soda from 70o F to 42o F in ten seconds, eliminating several inefficiencies resulting from any existing feasible solution (this is a conservative final temperature estimate). As the initial temperature of the soda increases, the cooling capacity also increases. In addition to being maintenance and labor free, it uses environmentally-friendly working fluids, and is much smaller and lighter than a vending machine. Based on the preliminary design and conservative calculations, Mainstream's Quick Chill would have to be used over 340,000 times in a single year to have the same power consumption as a vending machine.

3 Ways to Raise Your Self-Esteem
As we charge through life trying to be "strong Black women," it can be tough to acknowledge when our self-esteem is low. The first step to boosting your self-confidence is recognizing that you may need a little jolt. As you pledge to be fierce and fabulous, Yahoo Shine has come up with three great ways to boost your confidence. 1. "Set yourself an achievable goal" Give yourself a renewed sense of confidence by setting a goal that you know you can achieve. Yahoo Shine suggests "running a 5K or organizing your digital photos." Smaller goals -- like going to the gym five times a week or cleaning out that front hall closet -- can give you a boost too. At the end of the day, week or month, ask yourself what you accomplished and revel in it. 2. "What does confidence look like?" Think of the people who you think are the most confident. Take Michelle Obama or Phylicia Rahsad, Yahoo Shine suggests. Let these "confidence models" show you how it's done. Check out the way they speak, sit and carry themselves and try to emulate them. "Pretend you're a scientist, and really study what confidence looks like," Yahoo Shine says. 3. "Fake it till you make it" Practice makes perfect. If you act like you're confident -- just act like you really want to go to the gym or are really excited to work on another project at work -- you'll "forget you're supposed to be acting" and you'll just be confident. Read the full story on Yahoo Shine.

Retraction of global scientific publications from 2001 to 2010

Retraction is a self-cleaning activity done in the global science community. In this study, the retraction of global scientific publications from 2001 to 2010 was quantitatively analyzed by using the Science Citation Index Expanded. The results indicated that the number of retractions increased faster compared to the number of global scientific publications. Three very different patterns of retraction existed in each field. In the multi-disciplinary category and in the life sciences, retraction was relatively active. The impact factor strongly correlated with the number of retractions, but did not significantly correlate with the rate of retraction.
