Emotional Reactionism to Rand Paul's Romney EndorsementSubmitted by BobAkimbo on Sat, 06/09/2012 - 17:05
Like most of you, I had an emotional reaction to Rand Paul's endorsement of Romney, anger. I also had a physical reaction, nausea (I think I can still taste the vomit in my mouth).
My intellectual reaction, however, came from my memory of Ron Paul running for Congress as a Republican in 1996. I thought it was a mistake, a sellout. Most of the Liberty movement did as well. We were WRONG. Ron Paul has done more to further our movement in the last 5 years than anyone else has in any of our lifetimes.
We need to take the long view. We all know that an immediate and emotional reaction is more likely to be wrong than one that is tempered by reason, time, and honest analysis. The Patriot Act is a perfect example of a knee-jerk reaction that was wrong.
I have had the benefit of being involved in the Liberty movement for a long time (I'm old). Only in our dreams did we see a surge in the Liberty movement like we've seen since 2007.
We have Ron Paul and his decision to fight the system from within to thank for that. I'm not saying that it's the only way, but it has to be part of it. Let's learn a lesson from the Trojan War. We can bang on the walls of the Federal Reserve until our fists bleed, but it will be a hell of a lot easier if someone opens the door for us from the inside.
All that said, I am no fan of Rand Paul. He is not as vocally against military interventionism as his father and he is too socially conservative for my taste, but he has an agenda we can support. He is working with Connie Mack on the Penny Plan which would balance our budget and reduce our debt, he wants to audit the Fed, get rid of the TSA, repeal the Patriot Act, repeal the detention clause of the NDAA, and many other things that further the cause of Liberty.
His endorsement of Romney gives him the political capital to put those issues front and center in the United States Senate. Did you foresee that opportunity three years ago?
We've been spoiled by Ron Paul. He is a giant of integrity and unwavering commitment to his ideals, but let's not forget that along the way, he made a decision to fight the system from within. Rand Paul is a Senator. Did we really expect him not to do the same?
I realize there may still be a little vomit in your mouth too, but I suggest washing it down with a cold beer, thanking Dr. Paul for getting us this far, and preparing for the battles to come.... together.
Long live the r3VOLution!

I had a principle-based reaction
People here need to stop reframing the truth.
Let the pauls be responsible for their actions. It won't hurt them or this movement.
Folks, just have a little
Folks, just have a little faith that Rand has a plan and he knows what hes doing. Just wait and see how things play out. We are going to need a candidate for the next contested primary here at the end of Romneys presidency. Who other than Rand has the potential to be a serious contender for us? When the time comes we will need to be as committed to electing Rand Paul president as we were for his dad. Im sure the powers that be would love to see us divide and be consigned to the ash heap of history. I dont believe thats our fate. Lets be vigilant and keep doing what were doing. If we play it smart, the future is ours. No doubt about it.

Are we seeing the writing on the wall for the Republic?
This is how it is for me:
I derive security, an emotional thing, from observing patterns and having some sort of expectation about what comes next.
When Rand said he was in favor of keeping Gitmo open, I saw that he's not like his father, so I could not assume he would follow his father's pattern.
Then Rand said he wanted to a declaration of war against Afghanistan. At that point, I came out vocally against him here, only to be told that it was part of the long-term strategy for peace.
Since then, he has voted for sanctions against Iran, which I deem unconscionable.
Now he's endorsed Romney before his father even quit the race.
The pattern, as I see it, is to only expect more and more neocon/power-mongering behavior from Rand. It would be unreasonable...wishful thinking...emotionalism....to expect him to suddenly morph into the Ron Paul double I was really hoping for.
gee...I wonder why all those WHAT PERSONALITY TYPE
gee...I wonder why all those WHAT PERSONALITY TYPE ARE YOU posts kept getting added a while ago here at the DP. Obviously someone has our number: EMOTIONALLY DRIVEN. (yup that's me too.)
But back to the real scene: TEXAS!!! and guess what? Rand Paul's timed "thing" whether he knows it or not, just helped out A LOT.
Interesting comment from Drudge link:
- We haven't heard boo from Ron Paul since Rand made this announcement.
- A month or so ago Ron Paul had lunch or breakfast (can't remember which) with Ben Bernanke.
- Rand Paul's endorsement was anything but enthusiastic. It looked contrived. And let's get this straight, he made this endorsement after speaking with Romney for 30 minutes and realizing that romney was a good guy?
Some kind of deal has been struck, but we don't know what it is.
I strongly suspect that Romney (via Rand) and Bernanke (via Ron) have revealed to the father/son that a MASSIVE economic crash is coming that is going to redefine everything as we know it.
If this were the case, Romney may have offered Rand an offer he can't refuse. Endorse me and you can be part of my cabinet and be part of the team that helps us rebuild. You can help shape the future of America after the GREAT DEPRESSION 2.
If this was the case, then Rand would probably agree. He wouldn't be able to explain why he was endorsing Romney because that kind of info would be secret (ie. that a massive crash was going to happen in 2012/2013).

Rand is the test
Bob's exactly right - set aside your knee-jerk reaction and put Rand's endorsement in perspective. Your heart will still likely reject it but your mind may see the wisdom in it.
Consider too that this is likely a trial balloon to Ron himself endorsing Romney during his convention speech. Jack Hunter is making the case that Rand's endorsement doesn't change his principles and is necessary to the movement's success. Those same arguments apply doubly to Ron's endorsement. It's the biggest chip Ron has on the table in negotiating with Romney for policy changes and administration influence. Don't expect him to throw it away because a few people might get emotional. If he can endure 40 years in the wilderness he can certainly endure whatever his misguided supporters may say for a few weeks.
So the next time your anger swells at Rand, imagine your reaction if Ron had just endorsed Romney instead. Because this was done entirely with Ron's knowledge and approval and will not end with Rand.
If we do not end up with the numbers
I want Ron Paul to endorse Romney. I still wont vote for him but I want to see Ron for once get to stick it in the establishments eye. Go ahead Ron do it! He won't get our vote any ways. I will still walk around and say I voted for Romney how would they know if we did or didn't vote for him. If he isn't going to do this he needs to run third party and leave Rand to take his place in the party. Everyone has been worried about Ron running third party would hurt his son but Rand has taken that problem out of the picture. If we are going to take this fight into the party then you have to take it into the party if your going to do it from outside then you have to go third party. Its the only two choices you got Or you can go with doing both!
Realize what is happening
"They" want us to think we have a shot at having a Paul on the ticket..even if it's Rand as VP so we will splinter and or back down, clear the way for Obamney, and Tampa will go as they plan. Do you think for one second after the nomination is secure that they will actually put Rand on the ticket? No way in hell will that EVER happen! Do not ne fooled.... when I said RON PAUL OR NO ONE AT ALL I meant it! Vote your conscience and on principle in Tampa and ALWAYS!!
Edited to add: YOU'VE GOT TO STAND FOR SOMETHING OR YOU'LL FALL FOR ANYTHING!!
The nomination is already secure for Romney
So Paul supporters only have three choices for Tampa: 1) disrupt the convention with a show of strength on contentious issues, burning our bridges and destroying our chance to move the GOP towards liberty, 2) attend as a quiet and impotent minority, or 3) cut a deal with Romney to peacefully win some of what we want now and a chance to win more later as an influential part of the party.
Your comment shows a clear preference for #1. But with the campaign expecting to have only 20% of the delegates that is a losing strategy in the short- and long-term.
Video explains delegate's Federal Lawsuit Against GOP
This may make it easier for those of us who do not like to read lol ;)
Federal Lawsuit to be filed against GOP for fraud
Okay everyone!!! Attention! We NEED to find and have people submit their information to the TFJ (Tools for Justice) forum for their states TONIGHT. These are the states that still need evidence:
North Dakota
N Marianas Islands
... Pennsylvania
Puerto Rico
Rhode Island
West Virginia
New Mexico
American Samoa
District of Columbia
North Carolina
New Hampshire
South Carolina
Tennessee and
Please, if you know anyone with proof of voter fraud, have them go to the link above and submit their evidence. Having at least 1 person per state will help this case immensely!!! Thank you all so much! Please know that even after tomorrow, evidence can still be added, but the attorneys need us to help guide these people to the correct place to add their testimony hopefully for their case filing in the morning! LET'S SHOW THEM HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK AND GITTERDONE!! http://www.electionfraudremedy.com/
Does the insistence of providing a Social Security Number
Does the insistence of having to provide a Social Security Number to get into the Convention in Tampa (supposedly for a background check by Secret Service) worthy of contacting these same lawyers?
The state GOP after a long push back form the Ron Paul people (I went to Secret Service - all the way to the Tampa office- and to Social Security to check it out) and after everyone gave their numbers (Ron Paul people didn't) the local GOP said that the RNC Legal Counsel said that it was optional. Turns out Secret Service IS NOT doing background checks AT ALL on delegates. Only vendors to the Convention hall.
Is that worthy of note? State GOP Chair says that it was RNC legal counsel that was originally asking for the SS#s. And made it sound like no one was getting into the RNC if they did not give it up to him. (has since changed his tune - thankfully.)
"Regular Republicans
"Regular Republicans automatically think those who try to explain blowback are somehow rationalizing terrorism. Paul supporters automatically think those who try to explain Rand's endorsement are somehow trying to rationalize "selling out.""
- Jack Hunter
"Forgiving" Rand and Voting for Romney are very different things
I for one have tried to take a wait and see approach to Rand in general. In the past I have even suggested his being a VP would be good BUT ONLY IF ROMNEY THEN LOSES. Why? Because if he gets a VP slot and fights hard he would be a "favorite" for 2016. No longer could they call him "fringe" or "backward". This was predicated on the assumption that, while I never believed he was as good as his dad, I felt it likely he was better than most of the others.
However, when I said that I didn't think Rand would endorse Romney (and thus pave the way for his VP slot) before securing at least some REAL concessions...not everything but some big ones: Repeal NDAA (or water it down A LOT), audit the fed and dismantle TSA, for starters. This endorsement, the way it was done, really makes me doubt Rand is ANYTHING like his dad.
But whether I will give Rand another look in a few years is one issue. The other is whether, IF he got a VP slot, I would vote for Romney. The answer is HELL NO. I see no advantage. If they win, Rand becomes marginalized ("keep your friends close and your enemies closer" comes to mind) by being robbed of power by the uselessness of the VP position. On the other hand, if Rand loses, and subsequently proves he's pro-liberty, I could then vote for him for President in 2016 when he'd have a good shot at the office being the previous election's VP pick.
In short: Keep an open mind on Rand...just don't vote for him, yet.
PS: To all the Ron Paul lovers who are now haters: are you all Borderline personalities? How can he be a savior/genius and then a "charlatan/fool"? I strongly suspect he is simply a man...a damned good man to be sure, but a man who can make mistakes and miscalculations the same as the rest of us mere mortals. Don't make YOUR ridiculous idealizations HIS problem. Ron is probably quite wealthy and could easily have left the Liberty movement to younger more polished (but far less inspirational)champions. But instead of putting his feet up and resting on some pretty distinguished laurels, he slogged it out all year traveling, speaking, encouraging, debating, negotiating. So, how 'bout giving the guy a stinkin break?
Rand for VP would be a good thing.
Being vice president would make Rand the automatic front runner for president after Romneys term. It would be a giant leap forward for us to have Rand as VP. Yall say you wouldnt vote for that ticket but you know you would in the end after seeing Ron campaign for his son. Personally Id campaign like hell for a ticket with a Paul on it.
My post above...."they" will promise and lead us to believe they will put him on the ticket but IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. It's like many of us just POOF! forgot who we are dealing with. Remember they totally blacked us out of the conversation. They tried yo cheat us at every turn. They physically harmed some of us! And you actually think they will magically change course and put one of us on the ticket? Wake up and smell the napalm! They won't put a Paul on the ticket any more than I will vote for Romney....
that was then... think of the
that was then... think of the states they need to win with the gop we just took over
I think you are all a bunch of IDIOTS! Rand Paul has a plan and knows what hes doing. Ill be damn proud to support him just as enthusiastically as Ive supported his father. Rand is using a very intelligent strategy to put himself in a position to win us the white house eventually. Im disgusted every time I see people trying to throw him under the bus. Divided we fall! This is nothing more than cannibalism! Eat one of youre own! You act like a bunch of winy sissy liberal reactionaries! Get it together. Get focused. And lets win the future. Lets win the fight to restore liberty and the constitution. If we gotta slap the man on the back now so we can spit in his face later so be it! By whatever means necessary I will keep fighting this fight. As Ron said so many times, Its not about the man, its about the message and restoring liberty. I love Ron and Rand! God bless em both!
shut up for now, don't hit people when they are down. chill for a couple of days, don't be a douche.
And God bless you.
And God bless you.
I do not
except what Rand did and I never will, If we all don't stand on principle how can any of us?
If you seeing this as a positive makes you feel better...go for
However...to me (an I am old also) it appears that the main thing that has made me opt back into the political system for one last shot was that Dr (Ron) Paul refused to play by the old rules...refused to "go along to get along".
With this Dr (Rand) Paul demonstrated early in his political career that he WILL "go along to get along" and that he does not subscribe yo the undoubted truth that the lesser of 2 evils is still evil.
If Ron Paul is passing the baton to Rand, in my opinion it is time to quit even considering this race worthwhile at all. Whatever his motivation, you can be assured that the trust that was built by Dr Ron over a period of 30 years of consistently "walking the walk" will not be passed on to his son who almost immediately has shown that his principles are a good match for Mr Romney's.
I don't really see it as a positive...
But it is a reality. I would never vote for Romney, and probably not for Rand if he ever runs for Prez. I agree that the trust we have for Ron Paul will not be passed to Rand, but that's not a realistic expectation. Trust must be earned, it is never inherited.
Rand is working for a lot of the same things we are fighting for. I wish him luck, and will support him where and when I can, but probably never with the same intensity as I have supported his father.

We'll find out in August
I admit I did react in a way that will make me eat my words if everything swings back our way. I have to just wait and see how things shake out in Tampa. It's been a really crazy week. I tuned out Alex for a while (no disrespect to him), but I just need to step back and think why this happened and that happened and try to rationalize things myself. I might fail to come up with a answer, but that's how I have to do it. The stress got to me.

Every year is a year for Ron Paul!
Hey Bob, I'm old too...
I am also a recovering alcoholic (25 years) and I learned the hard way that it isn't the last drink that will kill me, its the first one I decide to take that will. I hope everything works out as you suggest for Rand and our future in the movement, but I fear for the results after having tasted that lust for power from 'the inner circle' he seems to be courting. We'll see I suppose. So please excuse me from washing this bad taste in my mouth with a cold beer. Does sound tempting though on a hot summer night.
I share your sentiments in thanking Dr. Ron for getting us this far and I am well aware that most people don't have to (or need) to think in these terms, but it just came to me. I like your post very much, and yes I'm ready for the battles to come.
In LIBERTY!

I too was highly upset when I
I too was highly upset when I first saw this. However, I think this was a case where Rand/Ron knew that if the Liberty movement wasn't seen as onboard Romney and he looses, then the party blames us alone for the defeat. It's a dirty game, but a way to keep our chips on the table at the end of the game. At the same time, look at this way ...compared to 2008, we actually have skin in the game. Delagates. Rand has been solid in the Senate on most all our issues ...sometimes even alone. Even if he were not kin to Ron, I'd still support him over anybody else in the Senate.
If anything I personally
If anything I personally think Rand being pressured by the establishment. He needed to come out and keep his word about supporting the nominee or they would have tried to rail road him in Kentucky. It was a sacrifice vote to keep his position so he can stay in congress and keep fighting.
We're all making inroads into the GOP remember. We can win locally by infiltrating the party and take over. We shouldn't want to take over and drive everyone out. We should take over by convince everyone of the principles we stand for. Remember most of the voters and party members are only going with the political whims and have been duped by the same propaganda and media spin.

I'm sure the women wouldn't mind...Thoughts?
What I find funny is the way things are reported these days. The issue to consider here is:
Is France discriminating against women who wear the veil?
. People are being so quick to make this about something else, namely possible exploitation of women being forced to wear the veil.
The reason I find it so annoying is because we should be looking at the actions of France to decide whether or not they are discriminating. The issue of people being forced to wear the veil (while serious) is a totally separate issue. I love how the media are changing the subject.
Also, what you DON'T hear about is the women who do want to wear the veil. Personally, I don't believe it to be a requirement of Islam but I think people should be allowed to wear it if they want to. I've spoken to women from different places in the world who want to wear it as a personal choice.
I find it so funny that the media always tries to paint Islam in a bad light and create an assumption that women must be being oppressed. I remember a case over here (ongoing) in which a woman was not allowed to wear a cross necklace to work and at every court level it was found that it was not discriminatory behaviour by her employer (British Airways), yet the newspapers and politicians were quick to put pressure on BA to change their policy (which they did even though it was perfectly legal to ban ALL jewellery). In that case people started crying about human rights etc. yet in this situation people are forgetting all that and are trying to look at how women may be being oppressed and NOT looking at the real issue.

MONDAY, June 11 (HealthDay News) -- A substantial portion of primary care physicians (PCPs) recommend screening elderly patients with advanced cancer for colorectal cancer (CRC), according to a study published online June 1 in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
David A. Haggstrom, M.D., from the VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, and colleagues analyzed survey results from 1,266 PCPs (internal medicine, family practice, and obstetrics-gynecology physicians). Physician CRC screening recommendations were assessed based upon clinical vignettes.
The researchers found that 25 percent of PCPs recommended CRC screening for an 80-year-old patient with unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Obstetrician-gynecologists were more likely to recommend CRC screening for these patients, while physicians with a full electronic medical record were less likely to do so. Seventy-one percent of PCPs recommended CRC screening for an 80-year-old patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy (New York Heart Association, Class II). Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) was recommended as the preferred screening modality rather than colonoscopy for 19 percent of healthy 80-year-olds, 5 percent of healthy 50-year-olds, and 2 percent of healthy 65-year-olds.
"PCPs consider comorbidity when screening older patients for CRC and may change the screening modality from colonoscopy to FOBT. However, a sizable proportion of PCPs would recommend screening for patients with advanced cancer who would not benefit," the authors write.

FSG LAWYERS: On creative workspace office pros & cons. SDSI: 7 new companies accepted into the Springboard business mentoring program. AGENDA: Registration and travel planning now open for January and February trade shows.
Details on Industry Insight.
Vinnie told me he has a new partner, Justin Bray. Justin grew up surfing in Orange County and has a sales background, Vinnie said. Justin bought out a previous, offsite partner with apparel experience outside the industry.
Vinnie said Justin works in the office everyday and is helping a lot. "It's been such a positive thing in so many ways," Vinnie said.
Despite the tough retail environment, Mada projects sales growth of 33 to 35 percent this year. The company beat its sales projections for spring, met them in summer and beat them for fall. The toughest season will be holiday, Vinnie believes.
A big boost to the brand is its signature athlete, Bede Durbidge, one of the top surfers in the world. Bede is being featured in several upcoming Mada events, including a surf series with Sun Diego where the winner gets to spend the day with Bede at Trestles.
As part of his agreement with Mada, Bede has the rights to develop Mada in Australia. Vinnie said a partner for Bede in the Australia operation will be announced in the next 60 days. The brand is expected to launch there by the end of the year.
Vinnie is also working on agreements to expand Mada in Japan and Brazil.
On the domestic front, Mada has created a line for fashion boutiques and skate shops with a boutique vibe that it is on the road selling. Overall, the company is still focusing on the specialty market. It did recently add one of the larger private chains, Tilly's, where Mada is in 12 doors, Vinnie said.
"Tilly has been a great partner to us," he said.
Vinnie is very excited about the 2009 spring product, which has more consistency within categories, he said.
"The product is finally where we want it to be," he said.
Mada has also revamped its internal operation. Vinnie is delegating more and allowing his team to take on more responsibility.
"It's a knock on myself - I was doing everything before," he said. "We can't succeed that way. We have many quality people who can handle things."

Following are some tips on how to write a successful review:
Stages, Screens, and Screams
While it may be early in the season, if you have any energy left on the off days, here are some fun ways to try and enhance your Halloween season!
If you haven't had a chance to check out "Annabelle" yet, there is still plenty of time as it hit theatres this past October 2nd. "Dracula Untold" flys onto the big stage (& IMAX) on October 9th. And rounding out the month, a movie about the timeless game, "Ouija," starts moving on its own October 24th.
Make sure you set your DVR for some of the much-anticipated horror-themed TV shows of the seasons. Notably: American Horror Story: Freak Show, The Walking Dead, Sleepy Hollow, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, and newcomer, The Strain.
Make sure you bring your broomstick and catch "Evil Dead: The Musical" at the Broadway Playhouse before October 12th.
Then, there is the always popular, "Nights of the Stripping Dead" at the Admiral Theatre, hosted October 29-31.
While we are missing Gwar on the scene, there are still a few that will attempt to fill the void. Tiesto comes to the Mid on October 11th. Chromeo stops at the Riv on the 17th, and the Rave on the 18th. Quite possibly the highlight of the month, Skrillex, spins at Navy Pier on the 18th. Iggy Azalea pops in the Rave on the 19th. Machine Head returns to the Rave on the 21st, followed by Flyleaf on the 22nd. For a little lighter, check out Bastille at the Aragon on the 21st. Rounding out the month, check out ICP and Mushroom Head at the Rave on the 27th.
While everyone has to attend at least one Halloween shindig, Madison's infamous, "Freakfest" will be hosted Saturday, November 1st. This is a must-see!
The Blackhawks play their season opener on Thursday, October 9th. The home opener will be Saturday, October 11th. Go Hawks!
Regardless of where you scream at, keep checking Haunted House Chicago all season long for everything to make your holiday season the best yet!Leave a Comment Go to Post...

Furygan Must IV Evo gloves, £79.99Time tested: 2500 miles/nine months
What's good? These gloves are a good year-round option. In the coldest of the cold days the tips of my fingers get a little chilled and in the height of the summer hands can get a bit sweaty, but for the majority of the time they're spot-on. They offer good knuckle protection and the double velcro fastenings work well to get a good fit. The cuff could be a little longer to properly go over the jacket, but they do the job. So far, there's no sign of wear and all the seams are perfectly intact. I'd definitely recommend this as a do-it-all glove for general riding.
What's not? After about an hour in temperatures of minus-3 my hands got cold. Other than that there's not a lot to complain about.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Mauro Gomez ended his slump in a big way on Thursday afternoon.
The veteran first baseman delivered a two-out, two-run double into the right-field corner in the bottom of the eighth inning to erase a one-run deficit and lift the Pawtucket Red Sox to a 6-5 victory over the Rochester Red Wings in the finale of their four-game series at McCoy Stadium
Gomez, who was an International League All-Star with the Gwinnett Braves last year, came into this contest with just four hits in his last 45 at-bats, two of them coming in Wednesday nightŌĆÖs 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
LINCOLN -- When senior Brad Auclair checked his text messages at Mount St. Charles on Thursday morning, he found one particularly intriguing ŌĆō and funny.
ŌĆ£My father (John) likes to give me some advice before every match, and he said something like, ŌĆśSwing smooth, relax, just go out and have fun,ŌĆÖŌĆØ Auclair explained. ŌĆ£He also said, ŌĆśHit the ball solidŌĆÖ and to think my way around the course, where I should leave each shot. He closed it with ŌĆśGo out and shoot 32 again.ŌĆÖ
ŌĆ£When I read it, I was thinking, ŌĆśYeah, right,ŌĆÖŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£I just wanted to be around par.ŌĆØ
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Never mind the drill bits and two-by-fours. Pepin LumberŌĆÖs hottest product these days is one youŌĆÖre more likely to run across in a cemetery than a lumber yard, and theyŌĆÖre not making a dime on it, at least none theyŌĆÖre keeping.
ItŌĆÖs the Latin cross, modeled after the one atop a nearby World War I monument that a Wisconsin atheist group would like to see disappear.
Now the plain white crosses are sprouting up on lawns from Fairmount to the North End in a show of support for City Hall, which might have to fight the Freedom From Religion Foundation in court to save the monument.
BURRILLVILLE ŌĆö Members of the Dukcevich family, owners of Daniele Inc., were joined Tuesday by Governor Lincoln D. Chafee, state General Treasurer Gina Raimondo, Rhode Island Ecnomic Development Corporation Director Keith Stokes and local town officials for a groundbreaking of the company's new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and addition in Mapleville.
Daniele, Inc. produces Italian-style specialty foods for U.S. and international markets. The company is best known for its cured meats such as salame, prosciutto and pancetta carried by high-end delis and supermarkets.
George L. Guertin
SMITHFIELD- George L. Guertin, 58, of Smithfield, passed away Wednesday May 9, 2012 at home. He was born in Woonsocket, a son of Shirley A. (Barber) Guertin of Harrisville and the late Louis Guertin.
George lived in Burrillville most of his life before moving to Providence in 2006 and Smithfield 6 months ago. He was a machinist for the former Turex Corp. for 35 years before retiring.
Joyce E. Sevity
SWANSEA, MA- Joyce E. (Steere) Sevity died April 30th 2012 at Mass General Hospital. Beloved wife of Charles C. Sevity.
Born Sept 25, 1935, daughter of the late Job and Loretta Steere.
Oldest of three girls, surviving sister Marcia Stone. Mother of four children Stephen Powell, Susan Nordin, Sandra Powell, and Scott Powell. Grandmother of 12 and Great Grandmother of 16.
Memorial Service being held Saturday, May 12th 2012 at 1:00 at the Berean Baptist Church, 474 Chapel Street, Harrisville, RI
PROVIDENCE (AP) ŌĆö A tug-of-war over an inmate in Rhode Island custody in a possible death penalty case escalated Wednesday as Gov. Lincoln Chafee said he will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court a federal court ruling allowing the inmate to stand trial in federal court
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō For Justin Thomas, the near month he spent as member of BostonŌĆÖs bullpen was merely a case of guilt by association.
Even though the 28-year-old lefthander was relegated to afterthought status ŌĆō while with the Red Sox, Thomas allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings prior to getting farmed out to Pawtucket on April 27 ŌĆō he was still part of a unit that became known as the land of diminished returns. No matter which reliever BoSox manager Bobby Valentine summoned, disaster seemed to follow.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Through all the early-season struggles he endured, Alex Hassan never once thought about reinventing the wheel, i.e. tweaking his batting stance or adjusting his hands on the bat, the kind of wholesale changes that no doubt creep into a playerŌĆÖs mind whenever things arenŌĆÖt going well.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö The father of slain Providence Patrolman Steven Shaw knows itŌĆÖs hard for some people to understand why, after 19 years, he still shows up for events like the Woonsocket Police DepartmentŌĆÖs COPS Walk.
ŌĆ£They donŌĆÖt understand,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£You never get over it. They say things like ŌĆśyour sonŌĆÖs in a better place.ŌĆÖ ThatŌĆÖs a lot of baloney. If itŌĆÖs so much better why donŌĆÖt you go there instead?ŌĆÖ

EA halts Battlefield 4 expansions to 'sort out all the issues'
Electronic Arts is done with Battlefield 4 expansions for now.
In a statement provided to Polygon, an EA spokesperson said that expansions are on hold until developer EA DICE fixes the problems that have plagued the game across platforms since its launch last month.
"First, we want to thank the fans out there that are playing and supporting us with Battlefield 4," the spokesperson said. "We know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game — it is absolutely our No. 1 priority. The team at DICE is working non-stop to update the game. Since Battlefield 4 China Rising expansion pack was already in the final stages of development by the time issues began with Battlefield 4, we decided to fulfill our promise to deliver it this week, but we're not moving onto future projects or expansions until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4. We know many of our players are frustrated, and we feel their pain. We will not stop until this is right."
The spokesperson advised Battlefield 4 players to visit the Battlefield 4 Control Room website, where EA will be posting updates about the game.
Since its launch on next-gen consoles, Battlefield 4 users have reported crashes on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Yesterday, the China Rising expansion launched, but players reported being dropped, booted and unable to connect to servers. Check out Polygon's Battlefield 4 review, which was recently updated to reflect the ongoing problems with the troubled first-person shooter.

PM Netanyahu: There is no justice in the fact that the standard applied to Israel is different than that applied to other countries. Israel did not direct its attacks against civilians and the UN's conduct toward Israel is disproportionate.
FM Liberman: Ultimately, the aim of all Islamic terror is one and the same: the destruction of Western civilization. Hence, just as we cannot negotiate with ISIS, we cannot negotiate with Hamas.
The red dots on the UN's maps represent more than destruction. They show the many cases in which terrorists attacked Israel from heavily populated areas in Gaza.
Hamas intentionally operates in civilian areas, including kindergartens, hospitals and mosques to carry out military activity, turning the civilian population into human shields so that Israel will be blamed for any injury and loss of life.
Both terrorist organizations view jihad and suicide attacks as primary tools. Both terrorist organizations persecute and oppress non-Muslim minorities. Both organizations execute people who are suspected of supporting their opponents.

Test-Drive the Redesigned 2015 Yaris at Toyota of Greenville
Remember how excited you were to get behind the wheel for the very first time? With the complete redesign of the 2015 Yaris, its exciting new attitude will make daily driving fun again. Equipped with more luxurious materials, and a bundle of slight improvements that make even it even more aggressive, you'll have a hard time leaving it in the driveway. Here at Toyota of Greenville, we feel that Toyota has truly outdone itself.
The fresh new look of the Yaris was designed in Toyota's cutting edge ED design studio located in France. Notable features include its wide horizontal front grille made of chrome, new LED daytime running lights, and a single wide-sweeping windshield wiper. The results are obvious with a more menacing and confident look than ever before.
Not only does the new Yaris look sportier on the outside, softer and more luxurious materials complement its interior. With improved functionality, the inside is comfortable with a sporty look for a truly thrilling ride that engages the senses.
Under the hood you will find a 1.5L 16-valve four-cylinder DOHC engine with VVT-i technology. Its 106 horsepower and 103 pounds-feet of torque are accentuated by the 2015 model's improved aerodynamics. Its handling is also spectacular with a 31.5 ft. turning circle–the best in its class. This makes it easy to zip in and out of tight spots, making U-turns a breeze. Other performance improvements include a more rigidly designed body structure and retuned suspension.
Whether you're ready to test-drive the 2015 Yaris or want to view our extensive Toyota inventory, our team at Toyota of Greenville will help you find the perfect model for your daily needs. No matter which Toyota you get, you can relax by trusting in one of the most reliable and enduring automotive brands in the world. Contact us today.

The 2015 Toyota Camry Gets a Makeover
Don't miss its bold new design and innovative XSE trim
As the best-selling vehicle in the country for 12 years running, there is no denying the Toyota Camry is a one-of-a-kind sedan. Our team at Toyota of Greenville predicts that it is going to stay at the head of the pack, especially with its exciting new redesign for 2015. Without eliminating the qualities that we know and love, the new trims offer high-quality premium materials, features, and a more stylish and aggressive stance.
One of the first things you will notice about the new model is the body structure. Its slightly more rigid lines and contours reveal a Camry that looks younger and sportier than ever. Improved aerodynamics, a more rigid body structure, and fine-tuned suspension work together to improve performance fit for action seekers and family members alike.
For the really adventurous, there is an exciting new XSE trim. The sportiest Camry ever designed, it's available 3.5L V6 produces 268 horsepower for a really exciting ride. It also comes with refined suspension tuning and large 18-inch wheels. A 2.5L four-cylinder is also available.
Inside, the 2015 Camry is more luxurious than ever before. Its available Ultrasuede and leather trims do a great job of blurring the lines between standard and luxury models. It also comes with the latest technological amenities including a 4.2-inch TFT screen, 3D gauges, and the latest in vehicle connectivity. Easily access your favorite music, navigation, and Camry's Tire Pressure Monitoring System along with many other features.
One of the best parts about the inside of the new Camry is the incredible reduction of noise. Hear more of the music, and conversations, thanks to a quieter powertrain, better-sealed doors and windows, improved aerodynamics and carpeting that soaks up sound more than ever.
Of course, the 2015 Camry still offers the driving reliability and safety that millions of Americans love year after year. Now it is just fit for the 21st century. Contact us at Toyota of Greenville to schedule a test drive immediately.

Toyota Shows off Second FT-1 Concept with new Superhero-Inspired Suit
The original FT-1 concept car debuted back in January and swiftly went about captivating the world at the 2014 North American International Auto Show. Comprised of a curvaceous exterior; draped in a stunning red color scheme; and sporting the sort of vibrant visual effects that would make even the most accomplished Hollywood studio brim with envy, the FT-1 builds on Toyota's rich sports coupe heritage dating back to the 2000GT, Celica, Supra, MR2, and most recently, the Scion FR-S.
Recently, at the Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival Gala held on California's Monterey Peninsula, Toyota went about stunning the world once more, unveiling a second interior styling and exterior color for an upscale interpretation of its sensational sports car concept.
This time, instead of a ravishing red, the latest FT-1 sports a sophisticated graphite exterior. Inside, Toyota replaced the original concept's masculine black with a rich saddled-colored leather, which Toyota says draws inspiration from the modern, high-tech performance materials used for today's superhero costumes.
While enthusiast may have been particularly pleased with the original concept's red and black pairing, Toyota believes the swap in color scheme not only showcases the concepts versatility, but may ultimately prove more pleasing to consumers that desire a more premium, athletic feel. Truth be told, we can't see anyone taking issue with either model. In fact, we'll take two of each, please!
Concept cars by their very nature are stunning examples of engineering. They allow automakers to dare and to dream. Concepts are designed to ignite the soul and catch the eye, but when one manages to evoke such raw response like the FT-1, it's clear the fine folks at Toyota have exceeded expectations.
The FT-1 concept is a living, breathing example of metal and magic rolled into one cohesive, lip-smattering mold, and if this is indeed the north star by which Toyota will guide its future designs, the future looks incredibly bright for Toyota fans.
While it may be some time before we see a production version of the FT-1, feel free to stop by our dealership and explore the many great Toyota vehicles available today.

2014 Toyota Prius c
New for 2014
The 2014 Toyota Prius c remains the same nimble and fuel-efficient car as last year, with no major changes to the current model.
Baby Boomer
As the smallest and least expensive model in Toyota's hybrid family, the 2014 Prius c proves that miserly fuel economy can be had at an incredibly attractive price.
Not only is the baby of the Prius bunch affordable, with a starting MSRP of $19,080,* its unique styling, seating for five passengers, and nimble handling make it an incredibly attractive proposition for nearly any budget.
Powertrains and Performance
Underneath the Prius c's pinched hood lives a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and electric motor that is fed by a nickel-metal hydride battery pack. Total combined output for the Prius c is 99 horsepower, which is channeled to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
As with any hybrid model, the most important figures are that of its fuel economy. And when it comes to the Prius c, few are able to match it. That's because the Prius c earns an EPA-estimated (and astronomical) 50 mpg combined.** Plan on driving in the city? The Prius c gets 53 mpg.** Feel like venturing out onto the highway? Well then satisfy your need for adventure and enjoy 46 mpg.**
While the bulk of your driving joy will derive from its miserly fuel economy, the Prius c acquits itself well out on the road. It's small footprint means maneuvering in and out of tight corners and parking spaces is a breeze. It's also quite sprightly, with driving manners that make for one fun city runabout.
Don't mistake the c for some sort of pipsqueak Prius, though. It handles longer stretches of pavement with aplomb and passing power is more than adequate. Drivers keen to put their foot down with authority will be surprised by the vehicle's impressive acceleration.
Features and Trims
With its versatile hatchback body style and four-door configuration, the 2014 Prius c is as practical as it is fuel efficient. It comes in four different trim levels named One through Four, and is roomy enough to seat 5 passengers
Standard highlights for One models include 15-inch steel wheels, a 3.5-inch multifunctional display, and Bluetooth® audio and phone connectivity. One models also come with full power accessories and a handy USB/iPod® port.
The Prius c Two adds to the base model's impressive list with a height-adjustable driver seat, center console storage bin, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, and six-speaker sound system.
Next up, the Prius c Three nets drivers keyless ignition/entry, a 6.1-inch touchscreen display, and a navigation system. Of course, an advance car such as the Prius c deserves some advance features, and c Three models come with Toyota's cutting-edge Entune® app suite, which includes access to Bing™, iHeartRadio, MovieTickets.com, OpenTable® and Pandora®, as well as real-time info including traffic, weather, fuel prices, sports and stocks.
Finally, the Prius c Four gets a number of exterior enhancements, such as alloy wheels, heated mirrors, and foglights. Four models also come equipped with Toyota's SofTex® simulated leather trim and heated front seats.
Traditionally, fuel-efficient cars aren't known for their standout styling, but the Prius c happily adds to its fuel-sipping frugality with genuine good looks. Despite being based on the Yaris platform, the Prius c has an identity of its own. Strong visual cues include sweeping headlights and long, vertical taillights that help the Prius c "pop" in a crowed parking lot.
With space for five passengers, you may have already surmised the amount of cabin space on offer in the Prius c—a lot . The interior is also rather stylish, too, with a uniquely sculpted dash that cradles the center console and available LCD touchscreen.
There is even a multifunctional steering wheel, complete with steering wheel-mounted controls for added convenience. Meanwhile, like its larger siblings, the Prius c does away with the traditional analogue gauge cluster/instrumentation in favor of an all-digital make up.
Finally, we've touted the Prius c's versatility already and we weren't just blowing smoke up your tailpipe. The base Prius c One's rear seat folds down as one piece, but Two and above models feature a 60/40 split seat for greater versatility.
As with every new Toyota model, the Prius c comes with Toyota's Star Safety System™, an advanced suite of six standard safety features. These consist of enhanced vehicle stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, and Smart Stop Technology®.
The Prius c also comes with nine airbags as standard, including a driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System. Additionally, the c is equipped with energy-absorbing crumple zones that help disperse energy away from the passenger compartment.
Bottom Line
Fun, frugal, and feisty in a curve, the Prius c proves that value and excitement can co-exist in sweet automotive harmony—and from such a wonderfully small package, to boot!
But don't let its size fool you. With enough room for five passengers, the Prius c remains every bit as capable as its larger hybrid siblings.
It may be the baby of the Prius brood, but out on the road, the 2014 Prius c proves wise beyond its years.
For more information, or to schedule a test drive, be sure to stop by or contact our dealership.

Ask a Technician: What is a 'Healthy' Engine Air Filter?
Your engine air filter is a little something that makes a huge difference. You might not even realize it's there until it's clogged, but an engine filter check is a worthwhile investment to avoid bigger problems down the road, like costly engine replacement.
How it Works
Your filter is made out of material like paper, foam, or cotton, that contains large sponge-like pores designed to let air in and keep abrasive particles out. To allow airflow with minimal resistance while also trapping the maximum amount of dirt and dust particles, filter designers use the largest surface area of material as possible and fold it into a series of corrugations to make the filter fit into its "housing" in your vehicle.
Healthy Engine Filter
Every car, driver, road, and combination of the three is different, so it's hard to diagnose whether or not your engine filter is healthy based on day-to-day driving experience. The best way to check its health is to visually check it yourself. If you can get to your engine filter, take a look at it. If it is clean, and you aren't experiencing any engine performance issues, you likely have a healthy filter on your hands.
Unhealthy Engine Filter
If your filter is exhibiting any of these symptoms, take it in for a check-up.
Black areas on the section of the filter where outside air enters could mean there's some build-up that needs to be addressed. Without an expert's eye, it's hard to tell whether or not your filter's level of build-up is safe. Take your car in for a filter-check ASAP.
Age plays a major role in filter efficiency. The range for filter use varies significantly with roughly 15,000 to 30,000 miles recommended between replacements, depending on the manufacturer. However, this number is largely affected by the type of road you normally take. If you spend a significant amount of time on dirty, dusty roads with ever present debris, a frequent engine filter check is in your best interest.
Leaving a faulty filter in place for too long can lead to expensive engine damage. If you have any doubts, or don't have a solid idea of the last time your engine filter was replaced, it's worth some attention. A stop by our service department for a filter check will help both you and your car breathe easier.

Last Minute, Low Budget Kid Costumes
An easy homemade Halloween costume is just a few steps away
Most superhero costumes start out with the same base: a bathing suit over tights or solid colored pajamas. From there, the details make the hero. Add homemade lightning bolts, crowns, stars, chest letters, belts, or capes to bring the character to life. Don't forget coordinating socks, boots, or masks. With a little creativity, your child's hero costume will be more lifelike than those overpriced getups they sell at party stores.
Island Style
If you're running low on time, this is a perfect option. Most party and discount stores sell some sort of luau décor. If you can find a grass skirt, some fake flowers and a few leis, you can transform your child into a Hawaiian princess (or prince) and say "Aloha" to savings.
This is a classic. A simple pleated skirt, sweater with a hand-fashioned letter, pom-poms and a megaphone will have your little one ready for the game and a night of trick-or-treating. Naturally, a few ribbons, a ponytail, and tennis shoes would add to the ensemble. If it's a cold night, just layer tights under the skirt or attach team letters and logos to a chunkier sweater or cardigan for your child to wear.
Dancing Queen
The menu here is vast and creative. Can-can dancer? A bathing suit with full skirt and multi-colored ruffles underneath will do the trick. Ballerina? Borrow or quickly make a tutu of netting, fluffed out over a leotard with ballet slippers. Charleston flapper? In an instant, you can whip together a shimmery sheath and off-center headband with a silk flower.
Little Waldo
This is the ultimate last-minute option. If you have a red shirt somewhere, flip it inside-out so you don't damage any design on the front, and create stripes with white duct tape. If you can, find some round black glasses, or fashion a pair out of black pipe-cleaners. Finish off the Waldo look with a red beanie. If your kid's head is small enough, you can make one of these out of a very large red knee-sock with the length trimmed and folded over.
Fall Factoids
The leaves are changing and everything smells like cinnamon and nutmeg, which can mean only one thing: fall has arrived. In between picking a pumpkin to carve and bobbing for apples, take a minute to brush up on some fun fall trivia.
Fall Foliage
Ever wonder what give fall leaves their distinctive coloring? Turns out, the color switch results from a breakdown of chlorophyll in the leaves which causes the green color to make like a tree and…well, you know. When the green disappears, yellow and orange tints become visible while other colors form as red anthocyanin pigments develop through other chemical changes.
Identity Crisis
Why is it called both fall and autumn? Let's take it back to the 14th century, when the Latin "autumn" first appeared in the English language. It gradually replaced the term "harvest" that had previously described the time period between summer and winter. "Fall" entered the scene in the 17th century, most likely as a poetic counterpart to "spring," and it stuck. Autumn won out in Britain, but here in the US we still use both terms interchangeably.
For those with allergies, you may be interested to know the most likely culprit of your seasonal sniffles. Ragweed is the weed pollen that causes the most common fall allergies. 10-30 percent of Americans suffer from hay fever, most cases of which are caused by an allergy to ragweed.
Fall Fruit
Apples are the freshest in the fall, even though many varieties are available all year round, which explains why apple-picking is a favorite fall pastime. Other seasonal fruits and vegetables during this time are bell peppers, spinach, squash, and pumpkin of course.
Fall Babies
A fall birthday leads to longevity, according to University of Chicago researchers. Apparently, based on their research people born in the fall are the most likely to live to be 100 years old.
The Benefits of Leasing vs. Purchasing
What are the differences?
The decision of whether to lease or purchase your new vehicle is one of the most important choices for car-shoppers to make. There are many important differences between the two which can help you make your choice. This guide highlights some of the most notable aspects.
Monthly Payments: Monthly lease payments are always lower than they would be if you purchased the vehicle. That's because you only have to pay for the vehicle's depreciation and additional rent charges. The depreciation estimate is based on the assumption of a certain amount of miles per year and proper maintenance of the vehicle itself.
Sales Tax: Typically, drivers who lease a vehicle will only pay sales or use tax on their monthly payments and any capitalized cost reduction. This means less sales tax paid over a longer period. When purchasing a vehicle, sales tax is paid on the full purchase price (although the value of your trade-in is often excluded from this amount).
Who Owns the Vehicle: During a lease, the leasing company maintains ownership of the vehicle. At the end of a lease, you can choose to renew your lease, purchase the vehicle, or return it to the dealership and pay any associated costs. Purchasing a vehicle means that you are the owner whenever you make your final payment.
Warranty Coverage: All vehicle warranties cover terms of 36 months or less, which means it's likely that your full lease term will be covered. This helps ensure fixed costs of driving over that period. If you finance a vehicle, your warranty will expire after a certain period and your costs of driving will be variable.
Trading Vehicles: Drivers who lease have the option to change cars whenever their lease term is up by simply entering into a new lease. Purchasing a vehicle makes it more difficult to change vehicles frequently, since you will be paying for the full cost of the vehicle and the depreciation, including any unexpected depreciation (in a lease, the risk of unexpected depreciation is carried by the lessor).
We offer affordable lease options on almost every new model. Contact or visit our dealership today for more information on leasing and purchasing.
