ST. MARYS ÔÇö Seventy-two people walked into Easy Campground in St. Marys with an equal shot of walking away with $10,000 as part of a promotion hosted by two area newspapers.
The Evening Leader, of St. Marys, and the Wapakoneta Daily News crowned the winner of the Dash for the Cash promotion Tuesday night. One-by-one, 72 participants walked across the stage until there was only one left standing. In the end, New Bremen resident Jon Wente walked away with the cash and a smile.
A U.S. Congressman says he plans to introduce a bill that would help school districts across the state keep up with renovation and maintenance projects.
The Fix AmericaÔÇÖs Schools Today (FAST) Act, to be introduced by Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, would provide financial assistance to help cover a multitude of projects for districts across the nation. Under a proposal included in President Barack Oba-maÔÇÖs American Jobs Act, Brown said Ohio could net approximately $986 billion for projects, which could support more than 12,000 jobs.
Lester E. Koch, 77, of rural Wapakoneta, died 7:40 p.m., Monday, Sept. 12, 2011, at Wapakoneta Manor, following a more than four year courageous battle with cancer.
He was born April 13, 1934, in Auglaize County, the son of Leona (Elsass) and William Koch, who preceded him in death. On June 13, 1954, he married Mary E. Rausch, and she survives.
Wanda L. ÔÇťJeanÔÇŁ Drees, 90, of St. Marys, died at 5:06 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12, 2011, at Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Marys.
She was born Aug. 14, 1921, in Washington Township, Auglaize County, the daughter of Pearl (Fryer) and Harve Russell, who preceded her in death. In 1939, she married Clarence ÔÇťShortyÔÇŁ Meyers, and he died Aug. 25, 1975. On Dec. 29, 1990, she married Henry B. Drees, and he survives in St. Marys.
Linda M. White, 45, of Cridersville died at 12:19 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 11 at St. RitaÔÇÖs Medical Center.
She was born June 4, 1966 in Bellefontaine, to Edna M. (Branham) and Dennis L. Faulder, and they survive in Jackson Center.
She married Randy White on June 4, 1982, and he survives in Cridersville.
Sylvan J. ÔÇťJakeÔÇŁ Paul, age 88, of 18950 Kettlersville Road, New Knoxville, Ohio, passed away Sept. 11, 2011 at 9:37 p.m. at the Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Marys, Ohio.
He was born on March 19, 1923, in Botkins, the son of the late Thelma (Zimpfer) and Edison Paul. On Aug. 11, 1951, he married Betty Snapp, who survives.
Jake is also survived by his son, Ron Paul of Botkins; a daughter, Renee (Jim) McGriff, of Milford; a brother; Don Paul, of Orange County, Calif., and a sister, Carol Singelton, of Wapakoneta.
He was preceded in death by one brother and one sister.
Ned ÔÇťBudÔÇŁ Gaylord Burden III, 21, died at 8:25 p.m., Monday, Sept. 12, 2011, at his home surrounded by his family after a valiant battle with cancer.
He was born Dec. 9, 1989, in Bellefontaine, to Christina (Webb) and Ned Burden II. His father and stepmother Machelle survive in Sidney and his mother survives in Lakeview.
Debra ÔÇťDebÔÇŁ Boday, 53, died at 1:45 a.m. Monday, Sept. 12, 2011, at Lima Memorial Hospital.
She was born Feb. 11, 1958, the daughter of Ann (Dulebohn) and Dale Miller. Her father and stepmother, Beth, survive in Wapakoneta, and she was preceded in death by her mother. On Sept. 16, 1978, in Lima, she married James ÔÇťJimÔÇŁ Boday, and he survives in Waynesfield.
Thanks to a 3-0 start, the Wapakoneta Redskins are ranked No. 13 in the first Associated Press state high school football poll released Monday evening.
Wapak is coming off back-to-back Western Buckeye League wins. The Redskins held off Bath 14-13 in Week 3 and defeated Elida, a 2010 playoff team, 29-18 in Week 2.
They routed Bellefontaine 48-0 in the season opener.
The WBL is well represented in the poll. In addition to Wapak in Division II, Kenton is ranked third and Ottawa-Glandorf eighth in Division IV.
A miscue on a scorecard hurt the Wapakoneta Redskins but not enough to cost them the win.
Wapak pulled out a 183-185 win over the rival St. Marys Roughriders in a Western Buckeye League varsity boys golf dual match on Monday at Wapakoneta Country Club.
ÔÇťIt wasnÔÇÖt the greatest score but a win is a win,ÔÇŁ Wapak coach Ken Wayman said.
Freshman Drew Wayman was disqualified after signing a scorecard that contained an incorrect score on one of the holes.

Amazing propaganda. Kim Jong il would be proud !!!

Next week marks the 90th anniversary of Our Lady appearing at Fatima. Her message then was that Christ was not pleased with the way the world was going away from Him. I wonder how long He will wait before He makes His promised correction? The world today is way worse off than it was 90 years ago.

What wonderful story of Mary's Love for her children... thank you Blessed Mother for your gifts to humanity. Merry Christmas

Seasons of the Soul
Summer, Autumn, Winter Spring
Seasons of the inner soul.
Each one has a gift to bring,
each one has a seperate goal.
Summer with it's burning heat.
Like eyes of fire, full of rage.
Burning flesh and scorching meat
Flames that never will assuage.
Autumn with the falling leaves
vibrant colors fill the air.
Happy, glad and so carefree.
Without a thought, without a care.
Winter with it's snow and clouds
cold and with an icy heart.
Wearing anger like a shroud
Careless of who you rip apart.
Spring with its rainy mood
new life everywhere you go.
To think, to wonder, and to brood
upon the Seasons of the Soul.
Corridors of the Mind
Walking through the spaceous halls
always changing beneath my feet.
Bending to my moods and whims
dancing to some unseen beat.
Marble floors and stony walls
brooding, thinking of my life.
Hear the silent echo's call
as thoughts go speeding fast as light.
Warp and change, change and move
different now, yet still unchanged.
Amazing as I change my moods
the space does change, but I remain.
Here, then there, then gone again
Hearing echoes of the past
I turn to find myself alone
voiceless questions never asked.
Ghosts of futures long forgot
surround my esssence as I see
memories, more oft than not
staring at a transparent me.
Some old friends, some from books
others I wish that I could find
as I explore the turns and nooks
in the Corridors of the Mind.
Shades of You
Vibrant colors fill my mind,
each one carries a piece of you.
I watch them mix and swirl and wind
always changing, always new.
White for beauty, pure and sweet
like freshly fallen flakes of snow.
Blue for sadness, dark and bleek
bitter tears of pain and woe.
Red for anger, hurt and pain
sides of you I rarely see.
Green for jealous tears that stain.
In you these have no place for me.
Black depression's muck and mire
crying as I hold you near.
Yellow passion burns like fire
whispers gently in your ear.
All the colors of the rainbow
Always changing, always new.
I smile as I realize
that each one is a Shade of You.
Pounding Tears
Huddled in a corner of
my mind I scribe my thoughts.
Poems full of truth and love,
feelings recent, yet forgot.
Trying not to feel the pain
words a jumble in my head.
Fighting thoughts of past mistakes
wishing sometimes I were dead.
I hear sound of pounding nails
as tears begin to freely flow.
Looking for the source and fail
as pain creates a crimson glow.
Searching, searching for the sound
rythmic, haunting, calling me.
The hammer strikes and shakes the ground
and from my hands begin to bleed.
Tears become a raging stream
sweeping hope and dreams away.
Is it real or just a dream?
The pain reminds me every day.
Hear the clashing, closer now
and I begin to understand.
As tears turn into rusty nails
I see the hammer in my hand.
Sail Upon the Wind
Dreams can take you anywhere
the only limits are your own.
Searching where no others dare
sailing far awau from home.
On crystal seas of mirrored glass
or mountains made of purest jade.
Sailing on as you go past
trees of emerald giving shade.
Grand adventures in your head
seek you out and draw you in.
All this while you sleep in bed
until you're waking up again.
Back into the heartless world
where dreams and goals get sadly shelved.
Until the night with sails unfurled
and deeper in the dream we delve.
All day long we think on visions
brought up from night before.
Days so full of indecision
needing just a moment more...
But nights are ours and every time
we must begin again.
To taste the breeze, to feel the sea
and Sail Upon The Wind.
Raw aggression, with no provocation
Anger, with no peace
Growling, with no voice
Ever Present, with no remorse
...reason fades
inhibitions wane
and only the rage remains...
Steel cannot break me
Time cannot restrain me
Rage cannot control me
Others stand in awe of me
None dare challenge me
Giants tremble beneath me
Even nightmares fear me
Retaliation is no longer necessary
...because I am stronger...
The Journey
I stare at the massive
mound of earth, granite, ice and snow
before me and wonder what right I have
to disturb the silent beauty that has
made this place so special to me.
All my life I have wanted to climb
this miracle of nature and survey the
surrounding valleys and streams
from it's icy peaks.
I give the straps on my backpack
one last tug as I emerge
from the swaying grove of pine trees.
I turn to view all that I have
left behind and find myself smiling
as I see the snow-covered sentinels
cheering me on with upraised arms.
Each a work of art in itself in their
translucent armor that reveals every color
of the rainbow with every subtle twitch.
The first few hours are easy.
I knew there was no turning back
the moment my boot left the first footprint
on the mountain's slope.
It would seem blasphemous to scar
this masterpiece and not accomplish my goal.
The higher I go the more I must fight
to control my feeling of excitement and accomplishment.
I am actually doing it! My first solo cl

Former Bad Boy artist Black Rob, who recently returned home from a four-year prison bid, says he blames himself for being forced away from making music.
Rob blamed his work ethic and lifestyle in the mid-2000's for getting him locked up in 2006 on grand larceny charges.
"I'mma tell you like this," Rob said in an interview. "I'm blaming myself for that. I wasn't focused. I was running around wild-style. I'm out of town. I'm [telling my label]: 'I'm never coming back to New York.' I didn't have the work ethic that I have right now. If I had the work ethic that I have right now, I'd probably be 10 albums deep. But things happen. We not gonna cry over it. One thing I do know is that the two albums I did put out, they solidified my name and a brand. Therefore, I can come home and do it again. Those two albums left the door wide-open. Like, 'B.R. is nasty. He can come right back.' Not too many people can do what I'm doing right now. Come back home after doing four, five [years] and pop off again. This is a testament right now." (MTV)
Rob recently shared his thoughts on Diddy's Bad Boy roster and why he was not tempted to re-sign with the label.
"It was something spoke about it like that with the Vice President of Bad Boy, [Harve Pierre], myself and Puffy on the phone," Rob said about Diddy wanting him back. "But, Puffy's doing what he's doing right now with all these other artists. So, I'm not gonna try to take a backseat to none of these artists that ain't selling norecords. Ain't none of them selling more records than me. None of 'em sold more records than me, so I'm not gon' take a backseat to none of them dudes. None of them n*ggas is better than me. I don't care how many records you make my man… I'm out of the contract. I'm done with Bad Boy. I got the official decision letter two days ago. So I'm officially done with Bad Boy. As of now, I'm officially a free agent. I can go anywhere I wanna go." (Hip Hop DX)
Last month, Rob updated fans on his relationship with Puff since recently being released from prison.
"Nah," Rob said when asked if he still had a relationship with Bad Boy. "If you tell me you love me, you tell me you my man, then I'ma take that, I'ma run with that. You feel me? So when something happens to me and you turn your back on me regardless of the situation, regardless of what we're going through. I don't appreciate that, I don't respect that. Because if you're my man, I'm always gonna be your man unless you flip on me. I was under the assumption I was family. If you follow Black Rob's career, you know I been through a whole bunch. When the album's getting ready to come out, I'm either in jail or somewhere I'm not supposed to be. I'm not blaming Bad Boy, let me set the record straight, I'm not blaming P. Diddy — I did that, that was me. I have no hatred…" (BET)
In March 2006, Rob was sentenced to time behind bars.
Harlem MC Black Rob was sentenced to seven years in prison yesterday (March 30) for grand larceny. After being convicted of a 2004 robbery of a hotel room, the Bad Boy rapper was supposed to turn himself in on January 24 to serve a two-to-six year sentence. Upon missing the date, he became a fugitive, but was finally picked up on February 24. Because he fled, Rob was given the maximum sentence of seven years. (XXL Mag)

We are a big fan of Little Critter's apps and I think it is great to be able to review this app as I get to introduce numbers to our 2.5 years old girl and reinforce this for our 5.5 years old boy who is already learning this in his preK.
* Title: Little Critter Numbers* Price: $1.99* Category: Books* Released: July 23, 2014* Version: 2.6* Size: 50.9 MB* Language: English* Seller: Oceanhouse Media, Inc.* Rated: 4+ Made for Ages 5 and Under* Requirements: Requires iOS 6.1 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
Description from the product page:
"Join Little Critter in this interactive board book app as he goes on a counting adventure at the zoo! Explore pictures, learn new vocabulary, and personalize the story with your own narration. Kids will love to practice counting with 4 toothy crocodiles, 5 playful seals, 6 brown bears, and other delightful animals - all the way up to 10 entertaining penguins!"
* This app is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!
* At the end of the app, there is a page that shows you in colors the animals you counted as you learn along the app. I think that is cute as you engaged the little ones to tap and count along and ensure they counted the numbers accordingly.
* There are options to go to other numbers instead of going through one by one.
* I like that there is an option to use new narrator's voice (aka me!)
* Overall an educational and fun app for the kiddos!
You can purchase the "Little Critter Numbers" app from the iTunes App Store.
I received no monetary compensation for this review, I was provided with the promo code to redeem the application for free from iTunes Store in order to facilitate my review. All opinions expressed in this post are my own. Please do your own research when purchasing products, as your opinions may differ from mine. And if you'd like to read my previous iPad Apps reviews, you can do so by reading this post of mine called "My iPad App Reviews"
As some of you might noticed, I am more active on my Facebook page and being someone who absolutely loves to read stuff, I tend to come across with lots of interesting articles on the Internet and a lot of these articles are what I personally feel worth sharing on my fan page.
I do my best to space out the posting of these articles so as not to overcrowd our FB walls, so I scheduled all my postings days in advance on average by 2 hours gap starting from 9am until 11pm (Malaysia time). There are days where the gaps are closer especially when I came across those articles that I feel I must share at that moment.
FYI, I don't really remember what I have scheduled earlier unless I spend some time browsing through my scheduled postings (which I don't often do), hence there might be more negative news in a day etc. I actually have to explain this in order to answer some individuals on my FB page who asked why am I postings so many negative news on a particular day.
Anyway, here is a quick tutorial on how to schedule post on an FB Fan Page:
Step 1: Copy paste the text and link that you want to be posted on your FB Fan Page. I normally will copy the first few paragraphs or sentences from the article as excerpt followed by the URL link to the article.
Step 2: Right below the preview thumbnail of the article, click on the 'Schedule Post' link and select the date from the popup calendar followed by the time you wanted to schedule to post the article.
Step 3: Once you have determined the date and time to schedule the posting of the article, click the 'Schedule' button. You will then see the following screen telling you that your post has been scheduled. You may click 'Close' to close the screen.
Step 4: If you realised that you may want to change your scheduled date or time, click on the 'View Activity Tab'.
Step 5: Look for the post you wanted to change and click on the arrow button on the right hand corner of the related post. You will see a drop-down menu with options to reschedule, edit the text of the article, pubilsh the post immediately or to delete the scheduled post.
I hope this article serves to help you in planning out how to schedule your posts on your Facebook fan page!
** Note: I have disabled the commenting feature on my blog engine thanks to all the spammers who happily spam my blog every day. If you wish to ask me any questions, you can find me at my Facebook page (I'm there almost everyday) or just drop me an email if you wish to maintain some anonymity.
For this post, I am sharing my next food recipe, Chicken with Ginger & Scallions (in Cantonese, we called this 'Keung Choong Kai'). We normally order this when we have family gathering in restaurants but hey, this is my 2nd attempt at cooking this. Without further ado, here is the recipe for Chicken with Ginger & Scallions:
If you prefer your chicken to look a bit darker in color, you may add a dash of dark soy sauce (caramel dark soy sauce). Picture below is my 1st attempt of this dish.
I was told by hubby and my MIL that the chicken dish is delicious, that the meat is bouncy and springy (thanks to marinating with baking soda) It is very easy to make this dish, little ingredients, easy to follow steps. This recipe is definitely for keeps!

AMS Alpha Omega GT-R Top Speed Record: 233mph "Drift"!!!
After smashing the GT-R 1/4 mile record at the TX2K12 with an
email@example.com pass, the Alpha Omega GT-R went straight to the Texas Mile
in an attempt to reset the GT-R top speed record of 218mph.
The morning was spent preparing the Alpha Omega for tech inspection. A 1/2
mile shakedown pass was performed early afternoon. With much more power
than what we had worked with last October, the Alpha Omega was literally
flying down the track. Nonetheless, Ivan Phipps, the projects technician
and driver for the Alpha Omega kept at it - pulling a 221mph top speed late
Friday afternoon which was enough to claim the record!
With the absence of wind Saturday morning, the decision was made to press
on. The Alpha Omega only used approximately 1050whp of its available
1600whp on Friday's record pass. With approximately 1250whp dialed in, the
crew wanted to see if the car could at least break the 230mph barrier
before heading home for the weekend.
On Saturday's one and only pass down the Mile, Ivan was able to get the
Omega to the 1/2 mile marker with a speed of 197mph. The car ran loose with
stock aero and absence of a rear wing, but the throttle remained pegged to
the floor. Ivan passed the 1 mile marker at 233.1mph.
It was a new record for the R35 GT-R, but not without a hitch. The Omega
hit a dip in the runway past the mile marker which caused it to bounce.
Combined with the effect of the parachute, the force was enough to lift the
rear wheels of the Omega off the ground. When the car rebounded, it lost
control, sliding more than 90 degrees sideways.
We plan to continue testing the limits of the GT-R platform with improved
aero and a final drive gear. To follow the Alpha Omega GT-R project, join
us at Alpha GT-R or AMS Performance on Facebook.

Best GTR launch control reaction ever
Courage is strong in this beautiful GTR Pilot! She took the directions
given to her and just rolled with it!
I love the part where the fear takes over body control, which makes it hard
for her to think straight to let off the gas to make it stop. Hahahahaha
This is by far the best GTR Reaction I have ever seen with for GTR Launch
R35 GTR and Supra For Sale - $85,000(GT-R) and $65,000(Supra) 253-879-8324
GT-R for sale $85,000. Supra for sale $65,000. for info 253-879-8324.
Coming back from a photo shoot we took the liberty of doing a couple of Boost pulls. At one point the Supra
looses traction at about 70mph. With more than 800HP traction is the
biggest problem. The GT-R on the other hand equipped with a COBB Access
Port, HKS GT570 Kit &Legamax Exhaust
has low speed wheel spin of all 4 tires. Both cars professionally built and
tuned at Illtech Auto Salon in Tacoma WA.

while the LP has been able to keep its beastly roar from the V12. Needless
to say our client is happy with the power gain as well as our attention to
detail of the installation.
Key notes are the seamless black fittings, black powdercoated piping, and
carbon cover panel!

Ha Ha
last day Massachusetts to change party enrollment is Wednesday
Massachusetts voters hoping to cast ballots in the March 6 presidential primary are being urged to make sure they're registered.
Wednesday is the deadline for registering to vote in the Democratic, Republican and Green Party contests. It's also the deadline for changing party enrollment.
Ron Paul's name tops the Republican ballot followed by former Gov. Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman, Michelle Bachmann and Newt Gingrich.
The only candidate on the Democratic ballot is President Barack Obama.
Independents note the only anti war candidate and veteran is Ron Paul.
To quote Jefferson on Shays' rebellion...
Thomas Jefferson, who was serving as an ambassador to France at the time, refused to be alarmed by Shays' Rebellion. In a letter to a friend, he argued that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
Again on Shays' Madison said "Liberty may be endangered by the abuses of liberty as well as the abuses of power."
Lysander Spooner another Massachusetts treasure wrote
"The Rothschilds, and that class of money-lenders of whom they are the representatives and agents -- men who never think of lending a shilling to their next-door neighbors, for purposes of honest industry, unless upon the most ample security, and at the highest rate of interest -- stand ready, at all times, to lend money in unlimited amounts to those robbers and murderers, who call themselves governments, to be expended in shooting down those who do not submit quietly to being robbed and enslaved."
Then Henry David Thoreau Civil disobedience
society and its institutions - particularly organized religion and political parties - ultimately corrupted the purity of the individual
go tell em Hank...come on you Massachusetts independents kick up a little Jefferson Manure and vote for Ron in the Republican presidential primary....
was that saying about pictures?
They are sayin that Mitt
They are sayin that Mitt Romney win Maine but reality is Ron Paul is all over the place a huge support is clearly shown. The picture clearly shows I bet MSM thought that this is already the best photo they can have without faking it. I wonder how many people Mitt can pull out during caucus and his speeches. I bet $10,000 it will not even reach even a meager 10% of Ron Paul crowd.
"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty."
New?!? - New York Times Article
Does anyone have...
....an actual copy of this edition? I can't help it but the picture looks a bit like it could have been photoshopped. Romney and the two boys on either side of him look like they could be a superimposed layer over the background with the guys in the back. (hard edges around them whereas the guys in back look more like "newsprint" lines).
Not trying to stir up doubt........just want to know if anyone has actually seen a hard copy.
I've got a hard copy.
It was no p-shop hack. I saw this news footage by C-BS News...
IIRC, it lasted a little over 10sec. Quite surprised on this vid that Willard sTROLLs over this gymnasium with Ron Paul banners plastered wall-to-wall, all over the place.
NY Times website
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
Jimi Hendrix
.....do you all already know it's not real and I'm just VERY slow on the uptake? :)
Here's a link!
Ok thanks for that!! LOL!!!! You know, with everything going on lately that has one spinning into the twilight zone, I'm learning not to take NUTTIN at face value! LOL!
It makes it doubly hilarious then that the NY Times would let that one go through!
Very sad and disappointing
I cant believe that in the entire state of Maine we could not get 2000 people to vote for Ron Paul. They have same day registration and you can vote all week. If we cant get 2000 votes in Maine the Revolution will definately have a bumpy ride. The college campuses, the independents, the new voters? What in the world happened in Maine?
We need better organization or explanations. The argument of voter fraud is not going to work time after time.
But cant tell you how down I feel that this month of Feburary was supposed to be the best ever but the voters are NOT showing up. Nevada and now Maine. What the hell is going on???
Can you say....
...mind Kontrol?
The lemmings are told what to believe and do.
They are told to believe Ron Paul is unelectable and told to be in fear using the digital TV subliminal psychotronic warfare system.
Do some homework and learn how the drug TV is used, and has historically been used to control the mindset of the nation.
Sadly, the beast we all face is the insane stream propamedia machine and 80% of the nation is drugged out on, and addicted to the nightly mind kontrol conditioning. It is pretty easy to understand.
Ever see the Batman movie that Jim Carey played the Riddler in? Remember how he had the Cable-TV box wired to suck out everyone's mental energy? Sorta relative to that.
We have to overcome the zio-media propaganda and get the truth out to people that still have two cents to think with.
Any ideas as to how to do it in this coming week to GET OUT THE VOTE FOR RON PAUL IN MAINE?
Even if you are well
Even if you are well organize. If the vote counting is tilting on the dark side then no matter what we do we will always come in 2nd or 3rd. Crap they even declare Mitt the Ripper without all the votes being counted. And to say some of the votes will be cancelled or delayed to be counted because of 4 inches of snow to us people are really unforgivable.
"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty."
"could not get 2000 people to vote for Ron Paul".
You gotta be joking to post that in this thread. That pic says it all.... There were so many RP supporters out there that they couldn't get a shot of Romney with out seeing RP supporters.... no one's falling for that crap that RP supporters are failing or not showing up etc...
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."

Caption: "LOL U MAD?"
What is begun in anger, ends in shame.
And this ...
The DP is proof that the grassroots support for Ron Paul and his peaceful message of individual liberty is large, real, and not going away!
Good one, cyndezu!
Good find.
This isn't over in Maine or nationwide!
I was so peeved about Maine, that I just networked 4 delegates for Washington state caucus. They are calling their friends too. I won't relate additional details, but the retired Marines are coming!
It ain't over
Til the fat lady sings.....and I ain't singing LOL
"...194 Stolen Votes..."
You know what they say: "A picture is worth 194 Stolen Votes."
That's awesome ! Ron Paul
That's awesome ! Ron Paul 2012 !!!
"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty."
that's awesome.
Thanks for the lol.
Hey 'yall Vote for Ron Paul !
In case some still haven't heard of Paul, this is a great introduction. "Who is Ron Paul?" Is Romney campaigning for him? :-)

Book Description:
Drawingupon new research and scholarship, historian Paul Lockhart, author of thecritically acclaimed Revolutionary War biography The Drillmaster of ValleyForge, offers a penetrating reassessment of the first major engagement ofthe American Revolution. In the tradition of David McCullough's 1776,Lockhart illuminates the Battle of Bunker Hill as a crucial event in thecreation of an American identity, dexterously interweaving the story of thispivotal pitched battle with two other momentous narratives: the creation ofAmerica's first army, and the rise of the man who led it, George Washington.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has repeatedly asked Congress to exempt its military effort against the Islamic State from a longstanding ban on U.S. assistance to torturers and war criminals, highlighting doubts about finding "clean" American allies in a region wracked by ethnic animosity and religious extremism.
Following the death of Hasan Alshaikh due to torture, Global Voices author Mohamed Hassan details his own experience being tortured by Bahrain authorities.
Remove the criminal minded judges from the judiciary of KPK province of Pakistan and the judiciary of Pakistan.
Pakistan is the country where the threat to humanity , peace , security and well being of not only innocent pakistanis but also the threat to humanity, peace, security and well being of the rest of the world has been thriving . While army operations have been effective in controlling these intolerant and violent talibanic elements yet these operations have also dispersed the threat and pushed these talibanic elements into hiding. The presence of sympathisers and rogue talibanic elements in police, intelligence bureau, special branch police, traffic police, FIA, bureaucracy, academia , schools and universities, other security agencies and the judiciary of Pakistan at the district level of Karak, Bannu, D.i.khan and from the judges of the supreme court , high court and the administrative and clerical staff of the judiciary is a threat to the peace , national and international security. The inaction of the chief justice of Supreme court of Pakistan and the involvement of the judges of the supreme court of Pakistan in supporting these antihumanity talibanic elements is going to determine the fate of the national and international security and wellbeing of the world.I request the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan to take serious action into demands of the chairman of the political party PTI and conduct a fair and thorough investigation to solve the crisis going on in Pakistan for the last so many months.
With her father imprisoned for life and her pregnant sister facing giving birth in jail, Maryam Alkhawaja explains why they keep on protesting for democracy
A Bahrain court ordered prominent activist Nabeel Rajab kept behind bars on Wednesday as it adjourned his trial over remarks posted on Twitter deemed insulting to public institutions.

The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) is an independent, non-partisan and non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the human rights & civil liberties of Canadian Muslims (and by extension of all Canadians), promoting their public interests and challenging Islamophobia and other forms of xenophobia.
In Bahrain, anti-regime demonstrators have reportedly taken to the streets of the Persian Gulf kingdom, calling on the ruling Al Khalifa regime to relinquish power.
A possible police investigation into allegations that the head of Bahrain's National Olympic Committee was involved in the torture of political detainees, including three national team football players, could prove embarrassing for the president of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and a relative of the prince, who has systematically refused to condemn the torture and detention of numerous athletes in Bahrain.

Bahrain: Maryam Al-Khawaja urges UK to speak out on human rights violations - Index on Censorship | Index on Censorship
You can imprison a human rights defender, but you can't stop the human rights cause, Maryam Al-Khawaja told a packed press conference in London on Wednesday, organised by Index on Censorship and the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD).
The prominent Bahraini activist and co-director of the Gulf Centre for Human Rights urged UK authorities to speak out about rights abuses in her country, which she said is being run like a business by the ruling Al-Khalifa family. This comes after the arrest of her colleague, Bahrain Centre for Human Rights (BCHR) president Nabeel Rajab. He is facing charges of insulting government institutions on Twitter.
Also on Wednesday, her sister Zainab Al-Khawaja was sentenced to seven days' detention for publicly insulting King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa by ripping up a picture of him in court. She was in court over charges connected to her previous human rights campaigning....

JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- A Janesville man has been bound over for trial on charges he stabbed his roommate in a fight in their apartment earlier this month.
Twenty-eight-year-old Clayton Courtney appeared in Rock County court for a preliminary hearing Monday. Courtney faces attempted first-degree intentional homicide and related charges in the case.
Courtney's attorney argued that the prosecution did not prove Courtney intended to kill Michael Clark. Clark was stabbed in the shoulder and foot.
The Janesville Gazette reports Courtney is expected to enter a plea at his arraignment Thursday.
Courtney also is being investigated in the death of his girlfriend, 21-year-old Britney Cross. Police found Cross's body behind a former furniture store the morning after Courtney is accused of attacking his roommate. Cross died of a blunt-force injury to the head.

ScHoolboy Q - Yay Yay
Artist: ScHoolboy Q
Producer: Boi-1da
Album: Oxymoron
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 13 votes )

The perils of life on the block are well-documented but, when it's a choice between getting good grades for uncertain future rewards and getting paid slinging that Yay Yay, it's no surprise that many choose the latter. On the freshly-minted lead single off his debut studio album, ScHoolboy Q harks back to his formative years as an enterprising South Central cornerboy, pushing Oxy and cocaine for pocket money behind his grandmother's back. Boi-1da provides a slow-rolling synth-sample instrumental to back his lyrical snapshots of the hustle. Feeling it? You'll be bale to find Yay Yay and many more fresh cuts on ScHoolboy's Oxymoron LP, dropping via TDE/Interscope at a yet-unspecified date later this year.

The share of American households with guns has declined over the past four decades, a national survey shows, with some of the most surprising drops in the South and the Western mountain states, where guns are deeply embedded in the culture.
The gun ownership rate has fallen across a broad cross section of households since the early 1970s, according to data from the General Social Survey, a public opinion survey conducted every two years that asks a sample of American adults if they have guns at home, among other questions.

California Truckers Allege They Are Misclassified As Independent Contractors Rather Than Employees
Sacramento, CA (Law Firm Newswire) July 1, 2014 – Golden State's Justice for Port Truck Drivers picketed at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports to protest being classified as independent contractors and not employees.
"I see a large number of cases in my practice that involve misclassified workers and it seems to be a near epidemic. To avoid paying various benefits to employees, a company misclassifies their workers. Whatever the reasons used, it is illegal and denies workers the protection of state and federal laws and results in lower wages and no appreciable benefits," outlines experienced Sacramento employment lawyer, Deborah Barron. "In California, port truckers account for over 500 complaints relating to wage theft due to misclassification."
Given the size of the trucking industry, it gives one pause to note that roughly only 10 percent of big rig drivers are considered to be direct employees of a company. Truckers illegally classified as independent contractors are fed up and have taken steps to file lawsuits and complaints with federal and state agencies to force a change in their status. In the Golden State, according to the Department of Industrial Relations, 32 truckers won decisions against 13 trucking firms and were awarded $3.8 million in wages. The trucking companies were awarded penalties for circumventing labor laws.
Rebecca Smith, deputy director for the National Employment Law Project, states that: "The era of misclassification is over …. and the industry should be sitting up and taking notice."
Barron, who regularly samples the pulse of labor relations and related legal issues in California, keeping tabs on relevant news in the employment industry, notes that protests launched by truckers who are not considered employees are spreading across the U.S. "It's not a protest about the nature of the work," says Barron, "It's about getting fair pay and benefits for a hard day's work. It's about a worker's right to be treated equitably and treated with respect."
Currently, if a trucker in California is considered to be an independent contractor, they are expected to pay for gas to run their rigs, insurance on their truck and for maintenance. Most truckers take home pay is roughly $400/week. "If you do the math on that, you'll see that they make an hourly wage below the state minimum, which is $9/hour," explains Barron. State employment laws exist to protect workers. It's time to make that happen in the trucking industry.

- As California goes gray, abuse escalates
California's aging population raises a number of concerns, the most urgent of which is elder and nursing home abuse. The older the population, the greater the number of abuse cases.

- Are drivers for hire independent contractors or employees?
For years, professional drivers have faced a legal conundrum in classification. In court, it can really matter whether one is an independent contractor or an employee. The standards used for figuring out if someone is a contractor or not frequently presents a serious sticking point in lawsuits. The uncertainly built to a boiling point when […]
- Texas nursing home abuse crackdown may have merit duplicated in California
Texas lawmakers want to shutter nursing homes with a history of abuse. Lawmakers intend to choose the absolute worst out of the state's 1,200 facilities and revoke their licenses. While the idea may make some sense emotionally, mentally, logically and legally, there is a very real question lingering in the suggestion – if Texas shuts […]

We're psyched that So You Think You Can Dance reverted to the original Top 20 format. As they take to the stage to compete live for the first time this season, we learn that only 19 of the 20 are taking the stage because poor Mitchell injured his elbow in rehearsal and was advised to sit this one out.
So there you have it: The first injury of the season. We would just like to say be safe and careful, everybody. Rest, drink water, stretch. We still lament Alex Wong dropping from the competition last year.
In happier and more random news, Megan Mullally is in the house to fill the rotating judge's seat. Apparently, in addition to playing a boozehound on Will & Grace and appearing in the non-children's program Childrens Hospital, she has some dance cred — dancing with the American Ballet Company and in Broadway musicals. Who knew?
Since we have performances from 10 pairs this week, we only get 8 seconds to learn about each dancer. Some are better at speed-talking than others, and obviously have careers in auctioneering to fall back in the future when their bodies get a little creaky.
Jordan and Tadd, afro jazzChoreographer: Sean CheesmanSong: "Riding the Waves," Afro Celt Sound SystemIt's Jordan's birthday! She celebrates by wearing her birthday suit — well, she covers up with some pseudo-nude clothes and tribal paint. It's a primal, rhythm-bouncing routine, and overall, they both keep up with the pace, flinging their limbs and heads around with abandon. Their partnering is a little bit rough, but not bad considering the strength of the upside-down holds involved. As a jazz dancer, Jordan is in her element, but Tadd's urban street skills more than keep up. They are also both wee and adorable.The judges say: Nigel gets a little excited talking about explosions and volcanic eruptions. He's a fan. Mary screeches about how Tadd blew her away. Megan compliments them on their "precision and power."
Sasha and Alexander, contemporaryChoreographer: Travis WallSong: "Stupid (Mark Bell Mix)," Sarah McLachlanIt's a beating up-relationship concept, so there's lots of violent emotions, and pushing and pulling of limbs. I love you! I hate you! I love to hate you! The pulsing bass is reminiscent of the inside of a womb. Not that we remember that. Sasha is incredibly charismatic and has complete control of her body and expression. Alexander ... doesn't. He's good, but obviously the weaker partner.The judges say: Mary shrieks, "Talk about taking a beating at work! Slam dunk, bam!" We think that's good. She compliments Sasha on her presence, but says there was a disconnect with Alexander. Megan says Sasha has acting chops. Nigel is scared of Sasha's "modern-day Amazonian princess" persona, but he likes them scary. Poor Alexander gets the same critique to bring it more.
Clarice and Jess, BroadwayChoreographer: Tyce DiorioSong: "Me and My Baby," Liza MinnelliIt's classic Broadway, and Jess owns it. The air he gets in his leaps, the boneless ease, the energy in his face is great — except it makes Clarice's shortcomings all the more apparent. Really, she's tiny and spry, but next to him, she's clunky.The judges say: Megan loves it and calls Jess a "natural-born performer" who shows inner joy like Jimmy Cagney and Jimmy Durante. Nigel compliments Clarice's beauty, but warns her that "Jess outdanced you." Apparently, Jess is one of Nigel's favorite guys this season.
Ryan and Ricky, lyrical hip hopChoreographer: Christopher ScottSong: "Ain't No Sunshine," Lighthouse FamilyThe story is that Ricky wants Ryan back, and can you blame him? Ryan is like a dancing Cat Deeley, so yeah. A leggy, blonde Amazon who performs the lyrical side flawlessly, but it's the hip hop stuff that really impresses. Her energy and sharp movements are mesmerizing, but so is her huge Joker-type smile, which seems a tad out of place. Nevertheless, we like it. Ricky did well also, but was obviously overshadowed by Ryan. Oh yeah, and great boots!The judges say: Each of the judges were bugged by Ryan's smile (Megan admits she was "confused"), but give her props on everything else. Overall, they're happy with the emotions that were brought out and Ricky's talents balancing out Ryan.
Caitlyn and Robert from Season 7 (filling in for Mitchell), jazzChoreographer: Sonya TayehSong: "In for the Kill (Skrillex Remix)," La RouxIt must be difficult rehearsing with one partner and then performing with another, but even though Caitlyn had to move from Mitchell (who was injured) to last season's Robert, we can't feel too bad for her. It's Robert after all! Caitlyn is pretty good, but feels unfinished. Her leaps aren't that high, her limbs seem stiff. She has great extension, but isn't loose enough. Robert, on the other hand, shows her how it's done.The judges say: Mary is thrilled, thinks Caitlyn was "brilliant" tonight and hopes Robert will be one of the all-stars joining us this season. Word. We second that, although not as shrilly. Megan appreciates Caitlyn's strength considering her small stature. Nigel points out her obvious resilience considering her setbacks this week.
Miranda and Robert, LatinChoreographer: Jason Gilkison Song: "Runaway Baby," Bruno MarsThe whole going-for-the-unattainable-girl story seems lost on us. Maybe we're distracted by the mod black-and-white dress and silver boots that were made for dancing. Robert is fantastically bouncy and high energy. Miranda doesn't look comfortable and after she had confessed she didn't know how to be sexy, well, we can feel it.The judges say: Megan just loves the routine and says, "You'd have to be in a coma not to like that one." She's really into Robert and comes on to him: "We could be very happy together. It could work." Nigel cautions Robert to work on his form (point them toes!) even if he does have a big personality. He also wants more confidence out of Miranda. Mary gets Robert to do his signature "Woo!" and then makes our eardrums bleed with her answering "Woo hoo!" and pumps her fist.
Missy and Wadi, jazzChoreographer: Sean CheesmanSong: "Judas," Lady GagaSexy demons escaping from Pandora's Box? We're feeling it! The pair is dressed in black and red leather-looking strips with fringe, which looks great with their writhing and leaping movements. The props — two open boxes — work really well considering Wadi excels at the athletic parkour movements.The judges say: Nigel is really into the "beasts" metaphor for the girls, and this time it's actually appropriate. He points out that this season the hip hop dancers (like Wadi) are really showing their diversity. Mary says it was "phenomenal." Megan thought it was "insane and uh-mazing." Yup.
Melanie and Marko, contemporaryChoreographer: Travis WallSong: "Turn to Stone," Ingrid MichaelsonThis is why we tune in — when high-concept dances make us believers. Mel and Marko are statues, see, and then they come to life and dance and then become one tandem statue. They're dressed and all powered in white, whiter than Robert Pattinson as Edward in Twilight. It's a gorgeous routine, showing off Melanie's legs and ridiculous extensions, as well as her chemistry with Marko, who shows great control and strength. The movement is at times fluid and at times pausing, giving a statuesque pose. Breathtaking.The judges say: Mary is verklempt because it's so "magical" and exhibited a "perfect partnership and amazing artistry." Megan has chills and then quotes Oprah Winfrey. No, she doesn't give them a car, but says, "Wow, wow, wow." Nigel is such a fan, he thinks this could be the first routine for the season to be nominated for an Emmy. He also says the slight imperfections in Marko's performance were just enough to make the routine good since there's room to grow (huh?) and then bows down to Melanie as the Queen of Beasts.
Ashley and Chris, hip hopChoreographer: Christopher ScottSong: "Forget You," Cee LoIt's about cheating! How do we know? Ashley finds a bra in Chris' pocket. It's all downhill from there. Ashley seems to do better with the energy, but sadly Chris, who's a b-boy, doesn't seem comfortable acting or in that heavy letterman's jacket. This was a miss.The judges say: Nigel tries to make a joke that Chris was actually a cross-dresser (hence the bra), but it's a lame attempt to fill the critique with some sort of lightness. The judges agree that it was a fun routine — Megan especially likes the wardrobe — but in general, they seemed as underwhelmed as we were.
Iveta and Nick, ballroomChoreographer: Jason GilkisonSong: "Ballroom Blitz," SweetBy now, it's clear that the dances assigned are not random at all. Each were chosen to show off the skills of at least one partner, and Iveta is obviously the happy dancer since she's the world champ in quickstep. And although she's flawless, we think Nick more than matched her. As a tap dancer, he's going to be light on his feet, but he also brought his charming personality, leaps and pirouettes. In ballroom it's usually the woman who is the focus and the man who creates the frame, but our eyes were on Nick.The judges say: Megan can't get over the fact that Nick is a tap dancer. "That's crazy!" she says. Nigel very properly gives Nick credit for more than coming up to Iveta's level. If you slow down Mary's critique and turn it down a few decibels, you'd hear that she gives a primer on the criteria of a good quickstep — and this had it. "It was unbelievable, and Nick, you rocked!"
Whew! What did you think of the routines? Were the styles chosen to highlight one of the dancer's genres fair? Who did the best? Which all-stars would work the best with these dancers? Share your comments below.

Sharp Aquos Crystal and Crystal X go live in Japan
Sharp unleashed two smartphones for Japan called Aquos Crystal and Crystal X tidat. The Crystal X is the better-equipped phone of the two with a 5.5" 1080p display, Snapdragon 801 chipset with a 2.3GHz processor and 2GB of RAM.
It has 32GB of storage and a 2,610mAh battery. Both Aquos Crystal smartphones sport incredibly thin bezels which means great screen to body size ratio with the 5.5" Aquos Crystal X measuring just 139 x 73 x 11mm, making it much smaller than the 5.5" LG G3 146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9 mm.
The Sharp Aquos Crystal opts for a 5" 720p panel, Snapdragon 400 with a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 8 gigs of storage and a 2,040mAh battery. It does pack a Harmon Kardon-branded sound package with Clari-Fi and LiveStage tech (the first allowing you to recover some information after compressing the music and the latter to stream to the Harman Kardon ONYX Bluetooth speaker). The phone is based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
The Aquos Crystal has an even smaller frame - 131 x 67 x 10mm. Interestingly neither phone is water-resistant, a feature some Aquos smartphones have.
Both smartphones will launch in Japan but the Sharp Aquos Crystal will also be available for pre-order in the US on Sprint (owned by SoftBank) tomorrow with availability kicking-in on August 29.
Sharp Aquos Crystal and Crystal X
Sprint has scheduled a press event for tomorrow in New York City and is expected to show off the Aquos Crystal as an US exclusive.

Totley Moss is teeming in cultural history.
Image: The RSPB
Totley Moss, part of the Eastern Moors in the Peak District National Park, is teeming in cultural history and holds its own secrets to the past. On Thursday 17 October, the Eastern Moors team will be running 'Walk and Wonder – Bronze Age Bracelets to Industrial Engineering', an informative exploration of the landscape, looking for clues to this fascinating history through time.
Stella McGuire, Eastern Moors Lead Archaeologist volunteer,said: "In the Bronze Age, people were living and working on Totley Moor, above Sheffield, and we can still see traces of their lives today."
Though the history of Totley Moss starts much earlier, it is possibly best known for the Totley Tunnel running almost six kilometres underground, which at the time of construction, was the second longest railway tunnel in the UK.
Stella added: "Around 4000 years after the Bronze Age, Victorian railway engineers and skilled workmen drove the Totley Tunnel deep below the moor. Thousands of people travel through the tunnel, but how many have stopped to examine the strange structures that the tunnel builders created on the moorland above?"
The 'Walk & Wonder' will set off at 10am from Longshaw's Woodcroft car park, returning at 1pm. The walk costs £5 per person, payable in advance. For further information, or to book a place, call 07738 738844 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Participants should bring a packed lunch or snack and wear sturdy footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather. Dogs are welcome but must be on a lead.
The Partnership, which manages the Eastern Moors on behalf of the Peak District National Park Authority, is running a number of events throughout the year for both families and adults. You can find out more by visiting www.easternmoors.org.uk

Speechless. Literally speechless. I couldn't decide which of Julia Aleshia's bridal fashion shoots I loved the most so I decided to share a whole bunch of them.
Category Archives: Styled Photo Shoots
The Vintage Empire
This stunning vintage styled fashion shoot was inspired by the work of jewellery designer Adrienne Mineiro of The Vintage Empire. Not only did she design and make the beautiful pieces used in this shoot but she modelled them too!
Eclectic with Candlelight
I love this vintage fashion shoot so much! It has such a cool rustic, almost thrown-together feel with all those eclectic details… and who can resist all those candles? Isn't the light they emit just fantastic? Photographer Katelyn explains:
What do you get when you put together 1 1/2 tables, 2 table-cloths, over 120 candles, 7 lanterns, 6 windows, some pretty awesome containers (jars), and some really cool books? an AWESOME outdoor photo shoot! I did a country vintage shoot that lasted through the day and into the night! It never got higher than 40 degrees but my model roughed it and did a great job.
Sissy Wish
I hadn't planned on another blog post today but I couldn't resist sharing these stunning images right this second! Siri is a singer/songwriter…and as it turns out, quite the model too. Just check out this stunning dress made for her by Stephanie James Couture for her upcoming tour.
I thought she needed something special for her 2009 US tour, so I went with the Fifi dress with a draped bodice and puffy, pleated sleeves…she loves 80's fashions, so I did my best SJC with an 80's spin!! It looked amazing on her. My friend and I went up to Hollywood to make sure it fit her and did a mini photoshoot while we were at it!!
Glorious Springtime Vintage Styles
You went totally nuts over the 'And so we Danced' photo shoot I shared from Elevenorchids Photography last week so it is my absolute pleasure to share some more of their work with you today.
This glorious shoot was set up for Michestyle, a young designer who loves to celebrate vintage styles and lines by adding a modern feel to them. She takes pride in every detail and was on set to style and do the makeup, hair and to guide the model through the entire process.
And so we Danced
How exactly am I supposed to find the world to accurately describe these images and do them justice? I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge. The gothic glamour, the sense of feeling you get from these is just..well…amazing. The images certainly do all the talking here. They tell their own story.
Photographer Annie told me:
The idea for this shoot wasa real mix of rock n' roll and art. We incorporated Tom Petty's song, "Last Dance with Mary Jane" into a photo shoot with 2 agency models (Mirela Paraganglija, and Nima Nezhad) and a fantastic bridal gown designer. We shot it as though it was Mary Jane's wedding day/last dance…as though it was her final send off.

We had not made reservation for this stop, but learned from a friend about this hotel. We drove through a lovely valley of farmed fields to arrive at this hotel. The staff in the hotel helped us park. The hotel and our room and bath were sparkling clean. In the morning we ate breakfast from the richly loaded buffet. We... More
