The scene is a beautiful Friday afternoon in Yuma, where Marines from across the country converged on Marine Corps Air Station Yuma for WTI training, or the Weapons and Tactics Instructor training course.
This year's training scenario was meant to simulate a host country asking the American military for help as part of a humanitarian assistance mission.
After taking off from MCAS in a UH-1 Yankee Huey, our first stop was at Trinity Christian Center, where troops were using the grounds as a field medical camp.
Then it was off to Yuma Regional Medical Center, which played an expanded role in this year's training, serving as a medical center where severely wounded civilians and service members would be taken during real humanitarian crisis.
Our third stop took us to the outskirts of Yuma, as marines were waiting to load supplies on to a CH-53 Super Stallion, the largest and heaviest helicopter in the military.
Those essential supplies then followed us to a simulated refugee camp, at Kiwanis Park, where a slew of military security met us as we touched down.
This is the last WTI exercise of 2013.
The next series of training will not take place until early next year.

John's Story: Finding a Way to Exercise
John's story
For inspiration to exercise, John hasn't had to look far. His father rides his bike daily to prevent another heart attack. John's grandparents and others in his family also had heart disease.
John's doctor told him that his steady weight gain over the years was putting him in danger of heart problems as well. "He said, 'You want to live a long and happy life, right?'" John recalls. "'You've seen what your dad went through?'"
John, a commercial pilot, got that advice as he watched his dad recover from heart surgery in the 1990s. He started riding his bike too. "I followed my father's good example," he says.
He just didn't follow it regularly.
"Over the years, my weight was starting to creep up. I was fooling myself—I was in total denial about how much weight I was carrying," he says.
About 3 years ago, John, now 54, says he realized he had to do more. He was stressed at work. He didn't get enough sleep because his flight schedules changed constantly. He talked with another doctor who told him that regular exercise would help with stress, sleep, and weight gain.
"You hear the mantra of losing weight, eating better, getting regular exercise, and it finally sank in," John says.
He joined a bike club. Having others to ride with motivated him physically and socially. "I've made a lot of friends who have the same priorities," he says. No matter what the activity, doing it with a group makes it easier and much more fun, he believes.
He also joined a weight-loss group, which helped him slim down. By watching how he eats and getting daily exercise, he's lost 25 pounds. "I have another 10 to 15 to go. Even my wife says I look good now," he jokes.
He's so keen on the benefits of fitness, he encourages his coworkers and friends. "My mantra is 'Find a way to exercise.' It has made all the difference in my life."
John's story reflects his experiences as told in an interview. The photograph is not of John, to protect his privacy.

Paris: Moses and Polytheism
Barbarism with a Human Face
Le testament de Dieu
Les idées à l'endroit
Vu de droite
"Almost two thousand years, and no new god!"
Nietzsche, The Antichrist
Voltaire said that if God did not exist, man would have to invent Him. If we are to believe the French press, 1979 may be remembered as the year when two very different Parisian intellectuals applied for their respective patents on their own brand of deity.
With Le testament de Dieu, Bernard-Henri Lévy, thirty-one years old, ex-Maoist, ex-journalist, and self-proclaimed "New Philosopher," has become the latter-day prophet of a God who, though now deceased, was kind enough to leave behind His last will and testament, the Bible, as a bulwark against totalitarianism. With Les idées à l'endroit Alain de Benoist, ex-Catholic, ex-reactionary, and self-proclaimed "theoretical journalist," has presented a compendium of essays that attempts to lay the sociobiological foundations for a new paganism, a new aristocrat, and what is called the "New Right." "The debate between monotheism and polytheism," de Benoist writes, "is a truly essential discussion." But strangely enough, neither man actually believes in the deity or deities he proposes: they are merely convenient foils to help man muddle through the mess of the modern world. Nietzsche was right after all. You can take your pick: the barren heights of Mount Sinai with Lévy, or the misty haunts of Celtic forests with de Benoist—a dead Yahweh or a vitalistic Wotan. In either case, to adapt a phrase from James Joyce, these are very posthumous gods.
For all their differences, Lévy and de Benoist have a lot in common. Each declares himself a moralist in philosophy, a nominalist in world view, and an antitotalitarian in politics. Both are skillful Parisian publicists (Lévy is an editor at Grasset, de Benoist at Copernic), and both have written much-acclaimed books (Barbarism with a Human Face won the 1977 Prix d'Honneur de l'essai, and Vu de droite won the 1978 Grand Prix de l'essai from the Académie française). Each has set flame to his recent past (for Lévy, Maoism, for de Benoist, the "Old Right") and risen like a Phoenix from the ashes to go on to condemn Marxism and modern liberalism, the Gulag and Coca-Cola, fascism of the left and right, the Inquisition, the Enlightenment, and the rule of the masses.
Yet as we might expect from these heralds of monotheism and polytheism, they have spent much energy excommunicating each other. There they were last July in the offices of France-Soir for a round-table discussion, glaring at each other uncivilly from their respective worlds, only a few days after Sartre and Aron had managed to shake hands over the issue of the Vietnamese boat-people. In the course of the exchange Lévy declared himself "shocked by the ideological and theoretical poverty" of de Benoist's writings, while de Benoist found Lévy's books "not worth a trifle." "I am filled with hatred for you," Lévy hissed. "I hate no one," de Benoist replied, for the sixteenth maxim of his code of aristocratic ethics (Les idées…, p. 52) enjoins: "Never hate, but despise often." It was the best show since Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley went after each other on television over a decade ago. The nouveau philosophe and the nouveau droitier, the prophet and the druid, seemed to deserve each other.
It is not easy to place Lévy and de Benoist in recent French philosophy, not least of all because it is stretching the word to call either of them a "philosopher." To be sure, Lévy studied under the Marxist Louis Althusser at the Ecole Normale Supérieure and claims to be a Lacanian. De Benoist, who studied law and letters at the Sorbonne, is an autodidact in the works of Nietzsche and Heidegger. The range of books that they cite is immense (but de Benoist, unlike Lévy, seems actually to read them), and the urgency with which they press their points would have you believe that the fate of the West hangs on the result of their debate.
Lévy, unlike de Benoist, is a child of the student revolution of 1968. After structuralism's Gang of Four—Lévi-Strauss, Foucault, Lacan, and Althusser—had "displaced" the human "subject"—the individual thinking consciousness—in favor of the linguistic code, and that subject's alleged history-making in favor of invariant structures,the revolt of May 1968 was a made-to-order structuralist's delight. More a cultural than a political crisis, more a synchronic liturgy than a diachronic historical event, it could be seen as reenacting the myths of the French tribe (1848, the 1870 Commune) around a transpersonal hero (the Eternal Child, le révolté) within neat classical unities of time and place (the Left Bank, May 3 through June 16). Although its political consequences were practically nil, this modern ritual did appear to prove what the structuralists had argued at some length: the supremacy of the code—in this case, the media—over the message to be codified. As cameramen freely crossed the barricades, ministering to both sides like priests in medieval wars, the essential point became clear: it is more important to faire la une ("make page one") than to win. The coverage of the event is the event.
The point, we may imagine, was not lost on the then twenty-year-old Bernard-Henri Lévy, who followed the action not in the streets but in his room, by television and radio, with a map of Paris across his lap. Without his skillful use of the press and television some seven years later, the so-called "New Philosophers" would never have been launched. In fact, Lévy, who is dramatically handsome and remarkably fluent, seems to have been made for television from the start (he acted in a TV film between writing his two books), even if it took him some years to get there.
After the debacle of May 1968, Lévy, then a Maoist, heeded André Malraux's call and went off to Bangladesh. There he awakened from his dogmatic slumber and discovered that there was no difference between "progressive" and "reactionary" corpses. After spending a week posing as a journalist in a group of lackadaisical "guerrillas" (they never fought), he took off to India where he got rolled by a junkie and, though the son of a millionaire, financed his way home by running booze between Bombay and Goa. Such enterprising skills, combined with his facility with words, served him well once he was back in Paris. One day he walked into Grasset publishing house, discussed some projects off the top of his head, and, mirabile dictu, got himself hired as an editor and, a few months later, was appointed the director of two new series of books. He corralled some manuscripts from old friends at the Ecole Normale, rushed them into print, and in 1976 took to the television screens to announce the birth of the "New Philosophers." A year later he crowned these efforts by publishing his own Barbarism with a Human Face. At that point he had more requests for newspaper interviews and TV appearances than he could conveniently handle, and he earned himself the title pub-philosophe, "publicity philosopher." Metaphysics, having long been dead and buried, was resurrected as a media hype.
The mood of the French press and public contributed to their success. The appearance of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago in 1974 severely undermined residual sympathies for the Soviet Union, just as the later revelations about communist behavior in Cambodia shook liberal sympathies for Third World socialism. Moreover, the emergence of France's brand of Euro-communism—permitting the alliance of communist and socialist parties in the Union of the Left—made many Frenchmen uneasy. The Common Program of the two parties, for example, called for government control over banking and credit. Since newspapers had been suffering the burden of rising costs since 1974, this was seen as an implicit threat to an independent and critical press. The collapse of the Union of the Left before and during the elections of March 1978 seemed to point up the hypocrisy of this uneasy marriage. As the Left's dominance of political discourse in France was increasingly shaken, the New Philosophers found a ready audience, not least among editors and television producers.
It is impossible to discuss the New Philosophers as if they represented a unified viewpoint on anything.1 While they were all deeply affected by Alexander Solzhenitsyn's work, their only point in common may be that they have recently been issued by the same publisher. Some but not all were Maoists in 1968; one, Jean-Marie Benoist (not to be confused with Alain de Benoist), sat out the revolution as a diplomat in London, while another, Jean-Paul Dollé, fancies himself a Heideggerian. André Glucksmann, who publishes with Grasset but not in Lévy's series, refuses even to be grouped with them. Therefore, in discussing Lévy's two books (they have to be read together), I have no illusions that I am commenting on the other writers who are popularly associated with him.
Springtime, O. Henry once wrote, is the season when young men discover what young women have known all winter long. Lévy's bitter springtime, his discovery of the Gulag that other intellectuals, including Sartre, had known about for over twenty years, has engendered the purple prose, alternately threnodic and dithyrambic, that we find in Barbarism with a Human Face and The Testament of God. "If I were a poet," he writes, "I would sing of the horror of living and the new Gulags that tomorrow holds in store for us. If I were a musician, I would speak of the idiot laughter and impotent tears, the dreadful uproar made by the lost, camped in the ruins, awaiting their fate." This is pretty heavy stuff, but, as Husserl observed at the turn of the century, one is most vehement against those errors that one recently held oneself. "If I were an encyclopedist, I would dream of writing in a dictionary of the year 2000: 'Socialism, n., cultural style, born in Paris in 1848, died in Paris in 1968.' " But Lévy is no easier on his young self: he confesses, with a straight face, "I will soon be thirty, and I have betrayed the dream of my youth at least a hundred times." Such earnestness is enough to make cynics weep, and it just might sustain some of them through the two hundred pages of narcissistic prose that one finds in his philosophical Bildungsroman called Barbarism with a Human Face.
Lévy is like the man in Paddy Chayevsky's film Network: he insists he is mad as hell, that he's not going to take it any more. He has discovered, in a mood of "the darkest and most tragic pessimism," that the Marxism he once believed in is a lie: "No socialism without camps, no classless society without its terrorist truth." Not that capitalism is any better. No, socialism is the face and capitalism the body of the same inevitable nihilism toward which the West is stumbling like a drunken Dimitri Karamazov. In fact, reality itself is radically evil, held in the clutches of an impersonal Power or Master or Prince or State (all in capitals and all equal to each other), as Plato and Schopenhauer, those "melancholy experts in absolute evil," knew. There is no Rousseauan nature that antedated the state and no revolutionary paradise to be found after the supposed "withering away" of the state. Nothing escapes the dread equation: World = Power = State = Barbarism. Misery will last as long as the social bond does, and that will go on forever. "Rebellion is unthinkable inside the real world."
The "New Philosophers" include Jean-Marie Benoist, Marx est mort (Paris: Gallimard, 1970); André Glucksmann, Le Discours de la guerre (second, expanded edition, Paris: Grasset, 1979), La cuisinière et le mangeur d'hommes (Paris: Seuil, 1975), and Les maîtres penseurs (Paris: Grasset, 1977); Jean-Paul Dollé, Voies d'access au plaisir (Paris: Grasset, 1974), and other works; Guy Lardreau and Christian Jambet, L'ange (Paris: Grasset, 1976), and others.

Evanescence singer Amy Lee isn't a big drinker, but now that she and musical partner Ben Moody have settled in around one of the finest sushi-chopping stations in their hometown of Little Rock, Ark., she's hankering for sake. ''Do you have your ID?'' asks the chef, eyeing Lee's pale, pristine features while wielding a blade that's been the death of many an underage albacore. As she goes for her purse, he rescinds the demand: ''Just keep it with you.''
''Wow, I should have tried that a long time ago!'' says Lee, who must have started drinking only a few months ago -- right? ''Yes, I turned 21 in December,'' she chirps. ''I changed your question. That's kind of a twisted Bill Clinton answer, isn't it?'' Depends what your definition of isn't is, but anyway, it's good to see the local kids still taking cues in prevarication from a certain former Arkansas governor.
Evanescence can lay better claim to Clinton's footsteps than most: They're already the biggest export to come out of Little Rock since the saxman-in-chief launched his campaign from the nearby courthouse steps. The pair kicked off their national campaign by contributing two songs to the ''Daredevil'' soundtrack, one of which, ''Bring Me to Life,'' almost immediately topped modern-rock radio. That buzz was leveraged to a startling No. 7 sales bow for their debut album last month; in the weeks since, ''Fallen'' has stubbornly refused to live up to its name, going gold and holding on amid a highly competitive top 10. With apologies to Willie, this band's sudden success has been even slicker.
The last Arkansas group to enjoy anywhere near such a sizable hit was Black Oak Arkansas, who peaked in 1974, long before Lee and Moody were born. Unlike their Southern-rocking forefathers, Evanescence's music seems to have been crafted far away from the sun, with its crunching power chords, melodramatic orchestral swells, and gorgeously sung postteen angst. These are shadowy, gusting anthems of life, death, loneliness, and love beyond the grave; the ballads of consuming romantic obsession pretty much count as the lighter moments. If their latent Goth elements were just a little stronger, you could almost call 'em Black Cloak Arkansas.
In the raw-fish-eating flesh, though, Lee and Moody are the picture of levity, and you do eventually stop worrying about what might happen if they were alone with that sushi knife. ''Because the music is dark, [fans] expect us to be f---ed up, on the edge of slitting our wrists, but we are very lighthearted,'' says Moody, the 22-year-old architect of the band's sound. ''You can't live every day depressed,'' adds Lee. ''I used to be that way. But generally, I'm a happy person, and because we have our music we can purge ourselves.''
If you hear anger, says Moody, that's probably him; sadness or childlike innocence, that would be her. ''I experienced a little bit of trauma in my childhood, and I'm constantly trying to get back there,'' says Lee, who cops to an oft-mocked tendency to watch cartoons on the tour bus. ''I'm obsessed with anything that takes me back to when I was 6, 7, 8.'' Adds Moody: ''She loves Care Bears and kids' anime; I love 'Evil Dead' and death metal.''

49ers @ Jets: Rebounding in the Rain
Week four is set to kick off, and there are a number of matchups to keep an eye on as rain is expected to hit the East Coast throughout weekend. The San Francisco 49ers are traveling to MetLife stadium to take on the New York Jets. Both teams are looking to improve to three wins on the season. The last time these two teams met in a regular season game was back in 2008, when the Niners were able to put away the Jets 24-14 at Candlestick. Sunday's game will likely see showers in East Rutherford, mainly overcast with a high near 72.
Both teams are expected to play a physical style of ballgame in this weather, with the defenses taking center stage. The 49ers are bitter coming off an upset loss to the Vikings last week. San Francisco tried to air it out against Minnesota after falling behind early and could not recover. Expect the 49ers to return to smash mouth football and run the ball, rain or shine. Even with star cornerback Darrelle Revis out for the season, Harbaugh will feed his running backs to open up the field for Alex Smith. A key matchup to watch for is going to be the Jets front seven against the 49ers running game. If Gang Green can stop the run and force Alex Smith to make unwanted throws in the rain, they can limit San Francisco's offensive production. The Jets offense also struggled last week going up against a tough Dolphins squad in the humid Miami heat. The return of Jets tight end Dustin Keller will be key. The 49ers defense has given up a touchdown to opposing tight end's every week this season so keep an eye on Keller's offensive performance.
With rain in the forecast, expect the Jets offense to play a variety of personnel to try to get things going on offense. However, 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will look to counter that by putting more pressure on quarterback mark Sanchez. Expect this to be a close game in the rain. But if the weather does clear up, the 49ers will run away with this one.

Rand Paul Upsets Marijuana Activists by Saying the Drug Is 'Not Healthy'Submitted by PaulFanDC on Thu, 07/11/2013 - 14:48
Ahead of his Thursday visit to Nevada, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., reiterated his personal opposition to marijuana use. Pro-pot activists say Paul is spreading misinformation about the drug.
"I personally think that marijuana use is not healthy," Paul told the Las Vegas Sun in an interview published Wednesday. "People that use it chronically have a loss of IQ and a loss of ambition, but at the same time states have the right to make these decisions."
Marijuana activists tell U.S. News that Paul's claims about ambition, health and IQ are wrong.
- Login to post comments
Takes After His Dad
Ron Paul does the same thing: keeps the argument where it should be.
This battle is not about whether or not marijuana is healthful. This battle is over our natural rights.
Where Rand it different, is, he's well aware that by making that statement, he gives people who believe it's a bad drug an example to follow: you don't have to approve, you are not endorsing, just because you recognize the rights of others. Ron Paul is always saying the same.
Marijuana activists who hold that against him are shooting themselves in the foot.
What do you think? http://consequeries.com/
Well said
In fact I've heard the elder Dr. Paul voice similar sentiments.
i suggest that everyone
actually read the article linked to, closely, and the lively comments that follow.
Marijuana activists tell U.S. News that Paul's claims about ambition, health and IQ are wrong.
"It's unfortunate, but Senator Paul is basing his opinion about marijuana on "Reefer Madness"-fueled fear-mongering instead of sound science," said Kris Hermes, a spokesman for Americans for Safe Access, a group that lobbies in favor of medical marijuana. "Contrary to Senator Paul's unscientific assessment... there are more than 200 peer-reviewed studies that clearly show marijuana's medical efficacy."
Hermes speculated that "Paul and others' lack of education is the primary cause of our federal marijuana policy, based more on emotion and moral indignation rather than public health and medical science."
Paul is often thought of as one of the most marijuana-friendly politicians, but his approach to advocating drug policy reform is notably more nuanced than the fiery denunciation of drug prohibition that was a libertarian crowd-pleaser during the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns of his father, former Texas Rep. Ron Paul.
Chronic use for years
may not be healthy for most people.
Even if that is the case it's not a valid reason for
maintaining the prohibitionist system we have now.
Including that part of it that Adam Kokesh has run into -
otherwise legal possession of a firearm magically
becomes a felony if he (or you, or anyone) also possesses
or uses *any* controlled substance - even if the substance
in question is legal under state law.
Are we going to see Rand in the forefront of tackling that
injustice? Would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.
And what about medical cannabis applications? If Rand goes
back to Israel maybe he could time out from sucking up to
the rabid Zionists and work in a visit to Tikkun Olam
which has been researching this since the 1960's:
Hey Rand, maybe you could even talk to some Palestinians while you're at it.
And give a read to this recent UC San Diego study that concludes:
"The classification of marijuana as a Schedule I drug as well as the continuing controversy as to whether or not cannabis is of medical value [59] are obstacles to medical progress in this area. Based on evidence currently available the Schedule I classification is not tenable; it is not accurate that cannabis has no medical value, or that information on safety is lacking. It is true cannabis has some abuse potential, but its profile more closely resembles drugs in Schedule III (where codeine and dronabinol are listed). The continuing conflict between scientific evidence and political ideology will hopefully be reconciled in a judicious manner.."
Rand has correct position
I've also seen many studies. While all human brains are different I believe there are several good studies that show the deleterious effects of THC on IQ and motivation in heavy users. The drug subculture also contributes to alienation especially in persons with schizoid tendencies or social anxiety.
I was a heavy smoker in high school and it near ruined my life. My entire class (1978) was so unmotivated and anti-establishment that we are forever known as the worst class in the history of the school. 1978 has some of the highest pot use nationwide as any year on record. Many of my friends went from pot to cocaine and acid and all sorts of more serious drugs. Today I am sure many of them are addicted to pills in one form or another.
So, to me Rand is taking the correct libertarian position. Advocate for healthy lifestyles and personal virtue while at the same time pushing for states rights and non-government remedies. End the drug war but also move to limit the voluntary use of harmful drugs.
This is a mature position that many people like Rand, in mid-life come to as they marry and raise a family. One's perspective changes. One can be cool and realistic simultaneously.
This is also a winning. mainstream point of view.
Lead poisoning and exposure was also pervasive in the 1970s
"Lead has been recognized as a poison for thousands of years, but the profound impact that chronic exposure to even low levels of lead can have on developing children only became widely recognized in the United States in the 1970s. At that time, it was not uncommon for pediatricians to see lead poisoning cases in which the children had blood lead levels greater than or equal to 45 micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL), at which point children often exhibit both neurological problems and anemia. At higher blood lead levels (70-100 µg/dL), children can suffer from comas and seizures, or even die. "
"It is clear that blood lead levels have fallen significantly over the last 40 years. During the 1970s, childhood blood lead concentrations of 40 μg/dL were not unusual. The available evidence suggests that mean blood lead levels are now in the range 2–4 μg/dL in the United States and much of Europe."
Did you read the comment that reported the study?
I have firmly believed that children and adolescents should not be exposing their brains to any toxins, alcohol or cannabis. Their young brains, according to the study, were the only ones that showed IQ effect. People 18 and above had no problem. It's been around and used, by many segments, of the population, for years. Those, that don't know this, have their heads buried in the sand!
So, continuing the present drug war assures the dealers have direct lines to your kids at school. They can't even keep drugs out of prisons. And, they think they can keep them from kids!?
Controlled regulated access has done well at decreasing smoking by kids. The same thing would,very likely, help keep cannabis out of the hands of children. Illegal drugs cannot be regulated. So, the catch-22 has to be ended and the production and selling of cannabis has to be made legal and regulated. It has been reported kids can get cannabis easier than they can get booze or smokes!
People need to realize the unscientific things coming out will be debunked. But, smoking anything can have adverse affects on the lungs. Cannabis just does it less, in scientific studies, in contrast to the reefer madness comments that went on for years!
Let's legalize and regulate it, to take away the kids' access. LET'S DO IT FOR THE KIDS!!
Reading the entire post over again, it seems like an attack...
on Rand.
But it doesn't seem like it worked.
Oh well. No weapon forged...
Defeat the panda-industrial complex
I am dusk icon. anagram me.
i haven't read the entire thread
but some people have different views than rand, and in my opinion more knowledge on the subject. i don't care for his talking down to users, but i also don't consider a debate on this an attack on his person.

try eatables
or get a vape, or don't smoke so much for crying out loud.

I'm not upset.
Rand Paul 2016!
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds"
-Sam Adams
I feel like Rand is
I feel like Rand is constantly playing a political game. I remember Rand giving speeches prior to getting directly involved in running for political office; specifically speeches when Ron ran for the 2008 Presidential election and Rand expressed ideas and principles that were basically identical to his father's. I feel like he decided at some point that someone with those ideas and principles needs to win a presidential election. I think the only way he saw that happening was to play a political game, unlike the unfiltered message Ron uses when he speaks. I think Rand's goal is to be elected president, and then use his position to fully spread the message. I get the feeling that Rand doesn't believe that marijuana "lowers IQ," and reduces ambition, but says this as a tactic to make his position more palatable to voters. It reminds me of the politician in Larken Rose's book The Iron Web, who once elected president reveals his true intentions in an epic address to the public. Of course I could just be overly optimistic about this and Rand could really believe some of the nonsense he says sometimes.
i don't think it's that complex
i just think he's a bit of a square, who from time to time tries to appear hip, but that never works. the youth see through that.
now his dad was so square that he came off as hip. he never tried to be what he wasn't. he was/is just plain old fashion honest, and again the youth see that and are drawn to it.
gary johnson appeals to the youth because he is a bit hip, and it's not put on.
rand would think a vaporizer was a new weapon the MIC were working on while johnson would know exactly what it is.
He's "hip"? Okay...I'm sure
He's "hip"? Okay...
I'm sure that's why they like Ron Paul so much too...
If this is your #1 issue you need to realize that people are being killed and tortured completely inhumanely on a daily basis.
i guess you missed this
now his dad was so square that he came off as hip. he never tried to be what he wasn't. he was/is just plain old fashion honest, and again the youth see that and are drawn to it.
where did i say this was my #1 issue? this thread is a about pot. relax.
You need to realize that not
You need to realize that not everyone in the world is going to agree with you, in fact no one will, not completely. Just because someone contradicts you does not mean they are angry.
you sound like a
holier than thou life coach or something. relax.
There you go again, asserting
There you go again, asserting my emotions.
if you write one thing
yet mean something else, there is no way to have a rational exchange.
Right. Also, if you ignore
Also, if you ignore what I say and bring up random topics... there is no way to have a rational exchange.
i'm glad you agree
and i agree with the 2nd part too. a good example of random topics is this:
If this is your #1 issue you need to realize that people are being killed and tortured completely inhumanely on a daily basis.
oh wait you wrote that, still, prime example wouldn't you agree?
MJ advocates should be grateful for the progress made so far
I encourage MJ advocates to be grateful for and build upon the progress made so far in legitimizing its medical and decriminalizing its recreational use. Complaining about Rand's personal opinion on this issue is counterproductive and only helps further polarize those who support him.
While it is clear that some here don't believe in the merits of MJ use (particularly during adolescence), I think most would agree that Federal Prohibition is vastly more dangerous to society than MJ itself.
Those of us who come together for the cause of Liberty understand that laws and cultural norms for what we put into our body should be established at the local and state level allowing individuals more freedom to make such decisions based on the wisdom shared by their family, friends, and community.
Thus, if you believe in the merits of MJ use, your time would be better served by helping to establish the much needed "positive" cultural norms for the responsible and therapeutic use of MJ in states where that it is now possible.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds. - Bob Marley
grateful? We the People did
grateful? We the People did it not BS politcians! We will continue to hold bs politcians accountable. We are not Grateful!!!! We did it not them bshitters in DC or our denver capital!!
Ron Paul 2016
scratching my head
The comments here are really beginning to baffle me...
I read the article and Mr. Paul is basically expressing 2 opinions here:
1) That he personally fells like marijuana use is "unhealthy" and causes "...loss of IQ and loss of ambition".
2) That he feels the feds have no business in it and that the "...states have the rights to make these decisions"
So which one is important? The second one obviously. I understand that pro-medicative marijuana activists are upset by the first opinion but the guy is pretty much taking the only position we should care about and that is THE FEDS KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF, STATES DECIDE.
His personal opinion on the issue of whether it is healthy is IRRELEVANT. Maybe he is misinformed, or maybe he really feels that way, or maybe he is playing politics. Why are we focusing on this point?
We are not going to agree with everyone on everything, but we can not expect to assimilate every persons opinion into our own narrow view of things. We need to find the common ground to work together or else this movement will NEVER succeed.
So at least from this article, Rand is basically towing the same line his father did, and that is advocating for states rights. The comments saying they can't support him now because he doesn't smoke two joints before each congressional session need to take another look at the opinion he is presenting.

U.S. senate candidate and Secretary of State Trey Grayson was in Eastern Kentucky this week, meeting with voters.
Grayson addressed a packed room at J. Milton's restaurant in Middlesboro on Thursday.
He says talking to folks in our region is vital.
"I like to come back and remind voters who I am, and the record I have...and look them in the eye and say when I ran before, I kept my word. I promise I will not forget you and I haven't. When I go to Washington, I'm not going to forget the needs either," said Grayson.
Grayson talked about the issues he plans to bring to Washington.
"We are going to focus on cutting spending, protecting coal, and doing the right kind of health reform and keeping us safe. That's the promise I'm going to make," said Grayson.
"I think the coal fields need to be cognitive of this senate race. He addressed coal and I can safely say he is a friend of coal and that's what is important right now," said Bell County Judge Executive, Albey Brock.
The Bell County Chamber of Commerce has invited the other U.S. senate candidates, but nothing is setup yet.
On Monday, we will talk to two of the other candidates in the senate race, Rand Paul and Jack Conway.

I had the following: Octopus Gallega (Good) - very fresh octopus, though I think smoking it takes away some of it's purist qualities. Grilled white asparagus and artichokes with aioli (Fantastic) - freshness, subtleness, and oomph of aioli makes perfect balance Chorizo lollypops (Good) - great chorizo, and folks that liked the food battered and fried will not be disappointed Black with Cuttlefish, Prawns, and aioli (Good) - though I feel it could have used some lemon or some other acid for better balance. Overall great tapas.

The River Don flows in a series of loops to the east of Aldwarke where there had presumably been an old wharf or aldwarke in ancient times. This was part of the extensive Manor of Rawmarsh and was through most of time a farming area. There must have been a farmhouse with outbuildings but as far as I know no village. The Manor of Rawmarsh was split between three heiresses and a new manor house was built at Aldwarke for the heiress who had inherited that third.
In the 1660s land at Aldwarke belong to the Frankland or Franklin family. Sir Henry Frankland of Aldwarke died in 1624 and his son another Henry in 1665. At some point Aldwarke came into the hands of the Foljambe family and the Medieval hall was demolished and a modern hall was built for Francis Foljambe in 1720. It enjoyed a pleasant rural setting amongst extensive field and woods.
The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation, the canal and the straightening of the River Don took place in the 1730s/40s but does not seem to have had much impact upon Aldwarke. The railways were built to the northwest in the 19th Century.
Industrialisation crept upon the area. In the 1860s Aldwarke Main Colliery was sunk on a triangular section of land adjacent to Aldwarke Manor House and Roundwood Colliery to the north. At some time after this the Foljambe family must have upped sticks and Aldwarke Hall was demolished in 1898 by which time it must have been in bad repair. The farm and stables together with a cricket ground and woodlands are still shown on a map from the early 1970s.
The colliery closed in 1961. By this time Aldwarke Lane had been rebuilt and Aldwarke Sewage Works covered an extensive area close to the River Don. A remnant of the old course of Aldwarke Lane, Old Aldwarke Bridge is now disused and modern traffic takes the new road and bridge over t'Wesh.
Now the whole area is covered by the massive Aldwarke Steel Works with its the electricity generating station which dominate this part of the Don Valley.
There is a canal/river side walk from Aldwarke to the Back of Retail World at Parkgate. It passes along the levee between the river and the canal and the sewage works. It is quite a pleasant stroll if you can stand the smell: me, I take a peg whenever I go that way.

Video Marketing Works
Video marketing online, is becoming absolutely huge. It is a highly efficient money funnel for those that know how to use it and take advantage of this way of advertising.
Many individuals are hesitant to use video in their marketing, because they think it is far more difficult than it actually is. In fact, it is no more difficult than any other form of marketing once you get to grips with it.
The beauty of video as an advertising medium, is the speed with which videos can go viral. The search engines love video and will often rank a Website or Blog high, if it is rich in video content. Do a search on Google for any product or service, and more often than not, you will find a video or two somewhere in the top five.
The ease with which video can be created and uploaded to a Blog or website or a social network site, such as YouTube, is essentially an 'offspring' in the advancement in easy, push button technology. Such as the ability to upload videos to the Internet straight from mobile devices.
You can use tools such as Camtastia or Camstudio to capture most of your video footage, and quickly integrate it into your Website or Blog. These software kits can also capture the whole computer screen to demonstrate a product from someone else's website...very useful if you want to demonstrate an affiliate program and its benefits through video. Or demonstrate the benefits of a new software device that you are selling on commission.
You can also use easy movie makers such as the standard one equipped with Windows XP for example. Or you can do it in 'the cloud' on websites such as Jing or Animoto.
When advertising through video, what you are essentially aiming at, is being concise, and tweaking the viewers interest as rapidly as possible.
Once you have created a video, you need to tag it with relevant 'keywords and tags'...you may be proud of your latest video masterpiece, but it is for naught, if nobody views it. For most purposes, Google's free (AdWords) Keyword tool does the job, just fine...or use your own preferred tool.
If you are manually submitting your video to the directories, this could be a long and painful process. Perhaps you could pay someone to do it for you - or you could try the Tubemogul website...this is free, and will allow you to submit to several video directories all at once. This is just a starting point, when you get established...you may want to crank-it-up a few notches - and start outsourcing as funds allow.
Once your videos are approved in various video directories, things will start to go viral, and you will begin to grow a steady audience.
You can even test how much feedback and traffic your site is getting, by setting up a Google alert 'flagging' your videos title.
Despite the growth in video marketing.... it is still a much under-used advertising medium... and there are some rich-pickings to be had - in a fairly fresh market - where there is very little saturation from over competition.

I don't even know where to begin. My daugher is 15. When she was little she was very early with everything, very smart and funny and everyone liked her. The problems started when she was 11.
She never liked school and at that time she got a physical problem which she used as an excuse for not going to school. First they were very understanding, said that she would easily catch up, but time passed and she did not get better. We tried by all means to get her to school. When she started high school it became easier to make her go there, but after a while we were told that she just hang around in school and did not go to the lessons.The following years have been a constant misery. We were announced to the social authorities and almost lost custody of her because she did not go to school.
When she went to school she never knew where her lessons were, never had the right books, never had done her homework, and all teachers told her how lazy and hopeless she was. She sometimes got very upset, cried and screamed, and we were told she was probably on drugs because of her moody behaviour.
When I read about ADD I suddenly saw her in a different light and I thought "this is her". At last I
managed to get an evaluation with a psychologist team

Oh. Sweden... OK forget all that stuff I said about LRE and FAPE.
Obviously you need to do what you consider to be best for your situation. We will support you no matter what you choose.
Actually, in general, both ADD and AS kids like routine. However, AS kids hate change, so to try and introduce a new routine where there was not one before may be difficult for an AS kid, because it is a change.
The best way to introduce routine changes is slowly, one thing at a time, usually starting with something they will like (or including something they will like). Say you want to change lunchtime to another time; it may help to cook her very favorite things for the first week or two. One the new time and routine is established, you can go back to regular food ;).
Also I thought it was interesting that they thought she was AS because she was the same in different situations and with different people. My son is a completely different kid at home than at school. Some others here have had the same experience.
I do encourage you to read more about AS and see if it fits your DD. There is a Tony Attwood book about girls and AS which I think you may find interesting. I can't remember the name, sorry.

Thank you for your answer!
I am in Sweden so things are a bit different here.

Hello Majli and welcome to the board.
It sounds liek you have been through a lot, and the professionals have not helped. How can they tell a mother that she has destroyed her daughter life (and then change their minds)? That makes my blood boil!
I would be curious to know what tests they gave your DD to determine whether she has ADD or Aspergers? Sometime one can very much resemble the other. Particularly Aspergers can resemble ADD if you just look at the behaviors and not the underlying reason for the behaviours. An ADD kid may be hyperactive because of ADD, whereas an Aspergers kid can be hyperactive because of sensory issues. The result is the same, but thew cause and the treatment is very different in each case.
Also, I know that Asperger's often presents a little differently in girls. This is unfortunate, because boys outnumber girls 4:1 so most of the data on "asperger's " is data on asperger BOYS. ugh!
I am not trying to push you in one direction or the other. I think you should try and get an independent evaluation of your daughter to see what the new person says.
Also, you don't *have* to send her to a residential school. She has a right under the law to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE). Regardless of her diagnosis, she sounds smart and high-functioning. Perhaps she woudl do OK in a reguylar class with an aide to keep her on track? Or a day school as opposed to a residential one? Either environment would be less restrictive than the one they are pushing, which sounds *very* restrictive, and although it does sound good for AS kids, if she does have ADD, then it would probably not work for her.
So I think for you, the key is to get a definitive diagnosis.
I have to say, and this is small-minded speculation on my part: were the evaluating psychologists part of (or paid by) the school system? Because it seems kind of suspect to me, that they woudl come up with one diagnosis, the suddenly change their minds out of the blue, and suddenly have a nifty answer which includes totally taking your daughter out of their school system. I may be way off base here, but that set my alarms bells ringing.
If the school district is behind all of these diagnostic tests you have a right under the law to refuse to accept their findings and request an IEE (independent educational evaluation) paid for by the school district with an independent psychologist. We have a Special Education Plans board on iVillage where they know a lot more about this stuff than I do.
I hope this helps. Please stick around. We have a few moms of teens on the board and at least one with a teenage girl.

It's the pun being written across the country: "Cradle 2 the Grave" buried the competition at the box office this weekend, premiering with $17.1 million, according to studio estimates.
The action thriller, starring martial arts expert Jet Li and rap star DMX, was the only new wide release in theaters this weekend, and took full advantage. Still, its $17.1 million take is a bit less than the openings of recent Jet Li or DMX films, like "Exit Wounds" ($18.5 million), "The One" ($19.1 million), and "Romeo Must Die" ($18 million).
Close behind in second place was the buddy comedy "Old School," which slipped only 21 percent to $13.9 million in its second week. Starring Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, and Vince Vaughn, "School" has earned $37.2 million in its first 10 days. Its strong hold allowed it to remain at No. 2 while last week's top film, "Daredevil," fell 39 percent to $11 million, bringing its total to $84.1 million.
Another film that's been performing impressively since its opening is the Kate Hudson romance "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," which declined only 13 percent to $10.1 million. After four weeks, the comedy has grossed $77.5 million; by comparison, the recent romances "Two Weeks Notice" and "Maid in Manhattan" were up to $79 million and $76.3 million at the same point in their release. In other words, given the right vehicle, Hudson is as big a draw as Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lopez.
And it was quite the weekend for "Chicago." On Saturday, the film's director, Rob Marshall, picked up the Directors Guild Award for his work on the film, upsetting the likes of Martin Scorsese. The same day, the musical crossed the $100 million mark, as part of its $8.1 million weekend take. Its total is now $105.2 million, which translates to a whole lot of razzle-dazzle.

Exhibition: About the History of Infographics
An Exhibition of rare collectibles
at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences
"Those who know nothing, have to believe everything." This is the motto of an exhibition about the recent history of infographics, that will take place at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences' Department of Design. The exhibition has three parts. A historic review is dating back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci, and provides a general view to the roots of infographics. This part of the exhibition is provided by our partner university, "Universidad de Navarra", Pamplona (Spain) and the Society for News Design's spanish chapter.
Rank of the Most Populous Cities in the US (1790 – 1900), originally uploaded by Prof. Michael Stoll.
The center of the exhibition consists of the private collection of Prof. Michael Stoll, whose book treasures give an overview over the field of infographics from the turn of the 20th Century on to the late 1980s. The oldest collectible is dated 1900 – it is a statistical atlas of the United States that shows results of the 1876 census. It illustrates the development of the U.S., including its most populated areas, presented mainly via thematic maps and charts in color. Also on display is a copy of "Flight thru Instruments", dated 1945. It is a U.S. Navy Training Manual with outstanding graphics, describing – among other things – how to pilot an military airplane and what forces affecting a plane in flight.
FLIGHT thru INSTRUMENTS 1945 /_27, originally uploaded by Prof. Michael Stoll.
While the two specimens described above were purchased specifically over the internet, there are also lucky finds from flea markets. "For example, the large-car book, published by the ADAC. It is one of my favorite pieces," said Prof. Stoll. This "practical guide for every driver" dates from 1976 and shows the variety of motorized models down to the smallest details of their construction.
Julia Rocher – Poster Forensic Entomology, originally uploaded by Prof. Michael Stoll.
The third part of the exhibition is dedicated to infographics in its current form, represented by student work from the past five years. Julia Rochser's work for example deals with a rather creepy topic: Forensic Etomologie. She designed an infographic that enables forensic investigators to easily read a victims time of death based on insect colonization on the corpse.
The exhibition is accompanied by a week-long workshop, held by John Grimwade, who is Head of Infographics at the New York based publisher Condé Nast. Following the exhibition's opening, Grimwade will give a public talk in room M1.01.
Augsburg University of Applied Sciences,
Campus at the Red Gate,
Room K1.01
Exhibition is open: 31st May to 28th June 2011 (only by appointment, see below)
Opening: Tuesday, 31st May, 6.30 p.m.
Contact: Prof. Michael Stoll
E-Mail: mstoll
On request we offer tours for groups or individuals.

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers say minor league right-hander Cesar Carrillo has been suspended 100 games for violating baseball's minor league drug prevention and treatment program.
The team posted a release on its website Friday, saying the commissioner's office announced the suspension.
Carrillo's suspension is effective at the start of the season. He is currently on the roster of Erie, which is Detroit's Double-A affiliate.
Carrillo's name was included in a Miami New Times report earlier this year, when the alternative weekly newspaper said it had acquired records from a Florida clinic the paper said sold performance-enhancing drugs.

CORPUS CHRISTI - With Black Friday creeping into Thursday evening, the city's "coupon clipping queen" is staying in for the sales this year.
"It's Black Thursday, almost," Julie Shuttlesworth says. " I've got a house full of guests coming on Thursday, so we're not going to do shopping on Thursday."
And that's not the only reason. She says with stores competing for the customers with earlier and earlier sales, there have been savings all week long.
Many of them, even available online.
"You can do all of your full shopping from the comfort of your computer screen with your pajamas on," she explains.
So, are there still deals worth leaving your dinner for?
"I think there still is especially if you're going for the tech items."
If you go, Shuttlesworth says you should definitely plan ahead.
"If you're just going out the morning of and hoping to get lucky, you're not going to do very well. You've got to plan ahead of time. Budget your time as far as which stores open when."
You can find all the deals online now on blackfriday.com.
And for those really big savings, be prepared to miss out if you don't spend your Thanksgiving Day waiting in line.
"Be prepared that some of these stores have 5-6 items of whatever the big item is. And if you're not 5 or 6 in line, it may not be there when you get there."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Oath Keepers is an American nonprofit organization[1] that advocates that its members (current and former U.S. military and law enforcement) disobey any orders that they are given if they believe they violate the Constitution of the United States.[2]
The Oath Keepers were founded on March 2009 by Stewart Rhodes and incorporated in Las Vegas, Nevada as a non-profit corporation.[3][4] Rhodes is a Yale Law School graduate, a former US Army paratrooper, and a former staffer of Congressman Ron Paul.[5] The Oath Keepers as a group have grown to include chapters in many states across America.[6]
In addition to maintaining a web site, Oath Keepers has taken various actions. It placed a billboard at the D.C. Metro White House Station on August 12, 2013, directed toward White House employees, stating, "Snowden honored his oath. Honor yours! Stop Big Brother! Expose unconstitutional actions."[7]
In the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) 2009 report The Second Wave: Return of the Militias, Larry Keller, a writer for the SPLC, wrote that the Oath Keepers "may be a particularly worrisome example of the Patriot revival."[8] Keller described Richard Mack, an Oath Keeper, as a "longtime militia hero"[8]:7[9] and quoted him as having said, "The greatest threat we face today is not terrorists; it is our federal government… One of the best and easiest solutions is to depend on local officials, especially the sheriff, to stand against federal intervention and federal criminality."[8]:7 Mack, a former sheriff, responded by denouncing the SPLC's claims.[10][11] Rhodes, who is one quarter Mexican and part Native American has disputed the SPLC claim of racism.[12]
Rhodes has appeared on several TV and radio shows to discuss Oath Keepers.[1] Lou Dobbs talked with Rhodes on his radio show and criticized the SPLC for "perpetuating the same kind of intolerance it claims to condemn."[1] On Hardball with Chris Matthews, Matthews and Rhodes discussed both the SPLC report and issues involving the Oath Keepers and extremists.[6]
MSNBC political commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, quoting the Las Vegas Review-Journal,[13] said "Oath Keepers, depending on where one stands, are either strident defenders of liberty or dangerous peddlers of paranoia." Buchanan explained their existence on the alienation of white America, concluding that "America was once their country. They sense they are losing it. And they are right." [14]
