The Author and the Illustrator
Angela T. Baron is the author and illustrator of the children's books A Tale of Two Squirrels (2013) and Squirrely over Nuts (2010). After receiving a BS in Zoology from Texas A & M University, she started work in the veterinary field. Feeling her creative spark grow while working with animals at the clinics and while volunteering at the zoological gardens, she began filing away ideas and stories in her head. The birth of her children fueled that fire and she began writing for children, using nature as an outlet to teach them about various issues and entertain them at the same time. Now she has expanded to include young adults in her audience. She is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators and also the creator of the I Otter Be® line of illustrations that are available through her website. Otters are her favorite wildlife creature and her cute and active otter character found its way into the market via t-shirts and mugs. She lives with her husband and two children in western New York, where she actively writes and illustrates for herself and others, while still staying active in the volunteer community.
Mr. Otter led the way, followed by me and the three boys, single file. Our pace was a rhythmic bound twice, slide once pattern that allowed us to gain considerable distance without much effort. These types of family outings are a common occurrence, and I enjoy them greatly, unless the boys misbehave.
Under normal circumstances, a short bark from me can keep the boys in check. Though there are times I may have to shout. Mr. Otter rarely shouts. Samuel is the kindest of gentle otters and usually holds his temper down to a stern warning. Half way into our journey, the boys broke up the pattern to run ahead over the open snow. I was unable to stop them with a scolding, and Mr. Otter came to the rescue with one of those rare displays of anger.
"Stop right there!" he roared. All three boys skidded to a stop and collided into a large fluffy heap. Three terrified faces peaked out from the jumbled ball of pups. "How many times do I have to tell you not to run ahead?" he continued. "There are dangers beneath the snow. Do you know the difference between running on snow-covered ground and running on snow-covered ice? I think not, or you would have slowed your pace."
We caught up to the boys and Mr. Otter gave them a hard glare as he passed. I simply walked past them without looking, but I could hear them blame each other when we were back in formation.
"Thanks a lot," one said.
"It's not my fault. He started it," another argued.
"I guess no dessert tonight," Bobby added.
I knew it was Bobby, because he is always the first to ask for dessert after dinner. I had to agree with his conclusion; Mr. Otter was now in a sour mood.
We continued toward a large drift near some trees and made our way back into the forest. I watched Mr. Otter crunch through the snow with difficulty now. It was deeper and sliding became impossible in the loose snow. He bounded a few times and suddenly disappeared from view with a soft whoosh sound, followed by, "Umpf!"
"Oh, dear!" I cried. "Samuel, are you alright?"
I barely heard his muffled voice from under the snow say, "I'm not hurt, but I don't think I can climb out of this hole. Watch how close you come, the snow is really deep here." I watched the snow in front of me mound up and then sink as he tried to dig his way out. The sunken trail moved towards a tree where Mr. Otter's head poked out of the snow as he climbed up the branches.
He looked at me with frosted whiskers and said, "Oh there you are. I guess I got a little turned around." He climbed up the rest of the way and gingerly made his way back to us. "See boys, that's why you don't run ahead."
I smiled and gave him a hug, "I am so glad you didn't get hurt. I don't know if I could handle these three without you."
Benjamin carefully scooted up to us and asked, "Gee Dad, were you scared?"
"No," Mr. Otter said. "But I don't relish doing it again. Let's walk around the drifts from now on."
We made it to Effie's home without any other difficulties,but we made sure to take the long route, along the river, on our return home.

General computer geekery, walking, cycling, geocaching, travelling, horses and horse riding, photography; but as I run my own business from home as well I'm getting to do these less and less nowadays.
General Computer stuff, Motorbike riding and maintenance (Done some night classes), Taking the dog for a drag (she isnt a keen walker :P ) and last but not least my newest hobby which is combining my computer skills with more practical hands on skills........ Building and Arcade machine from scratch. I am 95 % finished now on the wood working just gotta make the control panel.
Shooting (just an s/h .22 springer air rifle at the mo, but i'm getting a taste for it)
Car mechanics
Listening to classical music
Football - watching (season ticket holder at Reading) & playing
Not very exciting but thats about it!
True Geeks wouldn't have any hobbies that involved a) Other people, or b) leaving the house. :D
I can understand that you might WANT to do the latter two, but it would involve a long stretch at Her Majesties pleasure in Dartmoor Prison... (Yes, I do realise that you have got a comma in the correct place for your meaning...)Quote:
Shooting, electronics, wii, wife and daughters,
I do lighting and sound for an amateur dramatics society, and as we own a 250 seat theatre that needs constant maintenance etc it keeps me busy. I like being outdoors, but haven't partaken for a long time. Reading too!
I'm a bit of an audiophile, so that's where a lot of money goes. Also photography and cycling.
In no particular order:
Geeking out (Networks and FOSS are important)
Cycling (I've just got back and am sat here covered in mud and bleeding since it happens)
Music...I play bass, 6-string and i used to play euphonium
Prog/Classical Rock
Fishing (Course and Fly)
Drinking (Real ales :D)
Carp, coarse and sea fishing
Oh yeah, I forgot fishing, but i haven't been fishing in ages as my mate who i used to go with moved away
hmm ... hobbies ...
Isn't that something you do when you have a life?
erm ...
Too many other online forums / mailing lists / newsgroups
Online gaming (WoW mainly)
Eating Pizza / chocolate (not so much a hobby but a way of life)
erm ...
I *used* to Fence (sabre preferred but happy with foil), various Martial Arts (Judo and Ju Jutsu mainly but a few more fun things too), cycle, swim, run, etc but that disappeared due a dodgy knee.
The only other thing is reading. I get through 2-3 books a week on average.
erm ...
oh ... I nearly forget ...
Spending time with my better half (my wife that is ... not the computer!!!)
Fishing (Sea, Fly, Coarse), Motorcycling.
Motorcycling to fishing locations.
There's a pattern here :)
(Video games also)
The only hobby I have time to do on the side of work and university is Bellringing! It's far more interesting than many people think :D

I think it is late in the day.
My belief is that Man is in a state of decay and corruption that ends in death. As we look at the physical world around us it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that death reigns supreme. It is this condition of mortality that is the mainspring of our moral lives. We each have a consciousness of our appointment with death and seek to accomplish as much as we can with the limited time we have available.
Whatever our intentions may be, whether one accounts them good or bad, this imperative will often lead us to adopt means to reach our goals that are less than good while simultaneously seeking to portray our goals as good since we are rationalising as opposed to rational creatures. We tend to take short cuts and spend little time to think through the consequences of our actions. This is amplified by our individual alienation from one another and our individual ambitions, passions and appetites. These lead to conflicting views on any course of action and even on the definition of what good action entails. We are quintessentially self serving and will rationalise everything we do to the greatest extent possible.
When we multiply all these individual tendencies into the actions of corporate mankind we can readily see the cause of the wars and revolutions that have plagued us from the beginning of human history. Anyone who has observed his fellow human beings and given thought to their tendencies will know that we will do in crowds things we would never countenance doing individually. Acting as a body we will authorise our leaders to engage in wars. in oppression of our neighbours and in theft on a grand scale under the guise of humanitarian objectives. What we have deliberately forbidden any one of us to do individually we shall nevertheless carry out collectively with a clear conscience having once more rationalised our actions as being in support of the group whether our nation or religion or ethnicity or sex.
Individually our immoral tendencies can be controlled by our fear of death or excommunication from our group. This results in moral codes with the purpose of controlling these adverse individual tendencies. Whether these moral codes originate with a supreme deity or have evolved due to historic exigencies they tend to be enforced by collective consent through agencies of the government whether religious bodies or security forces.
The control of intra social groups is generally accomplished most effectively by the control of the individuals who comprise such groups. Within any given society one or more groups will tend to achieve dominance and enforce their purposes on the other groups in the society through moral suasion and psychological messaging. The control of inter social groups is generally accomplished through war, subversion, revolution, international law backed by military action and economic sanctions. None of these actions would be countenanced if they were carried out by individuals with the exception of a mild form of economic sanctions.
Given this framework we can see I think that the direction in which humanity is trending is towards more collective action inter socially and control of individuals intra socially. This implies, if the original observation is correct, that we shall become increasingly lawless inter socially and totalitarian intra socially. It is difficult to see how this trend could be changed to any meaningful extent given that the underlying ontological principles are derived from our mortality, our alienation, our ambitions, our passions and our appetites. The interaction of good and evil within this framework is actually one of the dynamics enforcing its effectiveness.
Specifically addressing the question of gun control in the United States, the controlling group(s) will obviously fear the possession of arms by any large group that might threaten their control. Individual possession of guns is not a threat. However to neutralise any possible group threat it is necessary to disarm all individuals except those under the control of the ruling group(s). Therefore events in which shocking massacres take place must be portrayed as the work of an individual "lone" gunman.
"Jesus answered them: 'Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.'" (John 8:34-36)

A new study performed on rats shows promise in helping fight against the harmful effects of traumatic brain injury.
Soldiers who receive traumatic brain injuries during war may be at a higher risk of epilepsy even decades after the brain injury occurred.
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A history of major depression and a past suicide attempt seem to be tied to an increased risk of seizures and epilepsy, according to the findings of a population-based study conducted in Iceland. Dr. Dale C.
Scientists investigating epilepsy at the University of Liverpool have found no significant long-term benefit in administering immediate treatment to those with early epilepsy and infrequent seizures.

The wins, following the Democrats' takeover of the House in Tuesday's midterm vote, would give the party a 51-49 Senate majority, counting two independents who are expected to vote with Democrats.
But the leads held by their Democratic challengers were large enough to prompt news organizations and election experts to declare the prospects of Burns and Allen retaining their seats all but nonexistent. Their defeats would mean the GOP lost six Senate seats Tuesday.
Republican leadership aides privately acknowledged that their Senate majority was gone, but they declined to say it on the record in deference to Burns and Allen.
Control of both congressional chambers would give Democrats a powerful platform to advance their agenda. And for the first time during Bush's presidency, the party could make the legislative branch a meaningful counterweight to the White House.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada is poised to join presumed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) at the forefront of a newly energized national Democratic Party when the new Congress convenes in January.
"The American people have spoken clearly and decisively in favor of Democrats leading this country in a new direction," Reid said Wednesday night.
Also expected to assume prominent roles are several of the party's liberal stalwarts in the Senate. These include Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, who as the likely chairman of the Armed Services Committee would be positioned to forcefully challenge the administration's Iraq policy, and Sen. Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, who as the anticipated head of the Judiciary Committee would be positioned to tangle with the White House over the controversial prosecution of suspected terrorists and over appointments to the federal judicial bench.
The GOP had grabbed control of the Senate and the House with its landslide win in the 1994 midterm election. Republicans have held the House since then; Democrats regained a Senate majority for about 18 months during Bush's first term, but lost it in the 2002 election.
For much of Wednesday, it remained unclear who had won the Senate.
But by midday, virtually complete results in Montana showed Democrat Jon Tester ahead of Burns by about 3,000 votes — a margin that, under state law, would not require a recount. Political analysts in the state said the gap appeared too large for Burns to overcome as final tallies filtered in.
In Virginia, the Associated Press concluded Wednesday night that Democrat Jim Webb was the winner in the state's Senate race, a victory that would give the party a majority.
The wire service made its call after contacting election officials in all of Virginia's 134 voting localities. Webb, a former secretary of the Navy, had a lead of more than 7,000 votes when election officials began reviewing their initial tallies Wednesday.
Webb and Tester declared victory Wednesday. Their apparent wins completed a strong showing by Democrats that seemed unlikely even to many of the party's leaders. Although most were confident they would take the House, fewer believed the Senate was within reach.
Reid was quick to characterize the results as a mandate for sweeping change.
"The days of the do-nothing Congress are over," he said. "From changing course in Iraq to raising the minimum wage to fixing the healthcare crisis to making this country energy-independent, we're ready to get to work."
With control of the House and Senate, Democrats will have significantly more leverage over President Bush in the last two years of his administration.
Democratic-run Senate committees, like their counterparts in the House, will probably conduct more-aggressive oversight of the administration, especially of its handling of the war.

Horse meat tests demanded by FSA
Food retailers have been told that they must carry out tests on their processed beef products, after the shock revelation that some Findus beef lasagne ready meals contained up to 100% horse meat.
Findus: lasagne product joins horse meat controversy
Findus is the latest company to be caught up in the horse meat controversy, after tests found that 11 out of its 18 beef lasagne meals contained 60% to 100% horse meat.
There is also a risk that a drug called bute, which is banned as unsafe for human consumption, could be in the meals.
Findus has apologised to customers and has withdrawn 180,000 lasagne packets and destroyed a further 200,000 stored in its warehouse.
Consumers have been warned not to eat the lasagne products, which are made for the frozen-food company by French supplier Comigel.
The Food Standards Agency, in light of the revelations at Findus, is demanding a more comprehensive programme from food manufacturers.
Catherine Brown, chief executive of the FSA, said: "Following our investigations into Findus products, the FSA is now requiring a more robust response from the food industry in order to demonstrate that the food it sells and serves is what it says it is on the label.
"We are demanding that food businesses conduct authenticity tests on all beef products, such as beef burgers, meatballs and lasagne, and provide the results to the FSA. The tests will be for the presence of significant levels of horse meat."
Last month, Tesco was the first brand to be caught up in the controversy, when it was forced to withdraw a number of beefburgers from its shelves after tests showed samples were found to contain horse meat.
Findus was unavailable for comment.

When Rap and Game Shows Meet
C'mon down, Tyga. You're the next contestant on ... Bustas? That's the name of the unaired MTV game show that Tyga appeared on back in 2008. Thanks to the digging of TMZ, you can see the unaired episode here. It features the Young Money MC freestyling poorly, saying he's from the burbs and had it easy growing up and all around acting kinda corny. But luckily for Tyga, this isn't the first time game shows and hip hop have crossed paths. Read on to check out some other notable examples. Game on! — Alex Gale

Well, I like to end on a positive note... so I'll start with the negative.
I like to eat my meals in an upside down triangle... so breakfast being the biggest meal, then lunch, and dinner the smallest. I can't remember where I learned that, but it seriously makes a TON of sense! Who needs to eat a grip of food before bedtime?!
So today was the perfect example of what NOT to do. We were running late this morning (being a temporary single mom is hard!) and breakfast was hot tea and two boiled eggs, one which I ate after church. Lunch was the recently cooked red beef curry (from Every Day Paleo--pretty delish!) And I was full after eating about 1.5cps of that... so I stopped eating. Then I finally mustered enough to work out... and it slowly took me a while after I ran (2.3mi while pushing 30lb kid) to do 30DS, and then finally to do Yoga Meltdown (YM).
Obviously after working out 103 minutes (hooray! met goal #3) I was pretty hungry. One of my goals I didn't blog about was eating a salad everyday. So I made a salad for dinner. And of course my calories were so low for the day (less than 500 for the day so far) that I needed to beef it up. 6oz of Pecan Crusted Chicken & 3 oz of Avocado will take care of that for you! For once (the past couple days), I'm RIGHT in my calorie goal, without eating any junk food.
My 90/10 goal is met today. I had some feta cheese on my salad *nom nom* and I'm resisting the urge to finish up that kettle corn and PB M&Ms (I'll save those for another day). I especially felt guilty thinking about eating those sweets since the Junk Free January challenge started today ( robbwolf.com/2012/01/01/still-time-to-sign-up-for-junk-free-january ) and my name shows up under Double Challenge (Gluten Free & Sweets - to include dried fruits & juices). So... maybe after Jan 31
(edit: 5 minutes later... HA I realized I inadvertently broke my sweets rule I ate a larabar for some energy before workout--Cherry Pie, so there was dried fruit! Guess I start tomorrow then! In that case... I might as well eat those PB M&Ms ...bwahaha)
Met my SPP (SP points) goal, made 100pts today! So that's cool. I also got 9hrs of sleep last night (hooray!).
Speaking of sleep... I'm about to shower and get me and the kid ready for bed. He didn't get to nap, so I'm sure he's pretty delirious... and I need to start getting in the zone of sleeping early (another goal I set on SP-get 8hrs of sleep a night...sometimes a struggle when I have to get up at 5 for work).
Overall, a pretty successful day. Hopefully I can keep this up once I start work on Tuesday! :D
Alohas! Remember to count your blessings!
My Goals for 2012. Wow. One more year until my 10-yr reunion!
1) Paleo 90/10 or 85/15. I love food. I'll be honest. And I have a crazy thing for sweets. Especially during that *special* time. But these days that hubby has been gone (he left Wed morning, and I started "serious" paleo on Thursday... have been pretty awesome. I'm regular (perhaps TMI), I'm not crazy hungry, and God has helped me with some of my indulgences. There have been pre-set indulgences. I knew yesterday I was getting crab rangoons because I didn't get them the Wednesday when I wanted to. There was some cheating on Thursday (cause let's face it, going anything to zero is super hard!), and today, well some more rangoons (they're addicting!) And seriously, I'll probably cave and eat some popcorn and peanut butter m&ms in a little bit. But. I know it's coming.
2) 50 Spark Points a day. It keeps me accountable (tracking what I eat), and working out. Granted, it's easier to work out when I'm actually working, these past 2 weeks my schedule has been off, so there isn't as much "mandatory" working out as there normally would be.
3) Work out 60 min a day. Helps contribute to #2.
4) Finish my Masters. I'm 3 classes away, including the capstone.
5) I was going to say do an Half Ironman. And then I tried to look at the races to actually pick one with a date... but my surgery in the upcoming month (still so much unknown, like a date!) will greatly hinder my training. I suppose, I shall shoot for one in 2013. 13 is my lucky number anyway. So.. This number means I'll find at least one triathlon to do in Clarksville, or Nashville. Or something.
And since it's taken me like 3hrs to write this blog... I'm signing off. To be Continued. If needed.
In the words of my friend, "may all your resolutions be spanked."
Well, in half the world it's already the New Year ;)
Thank you everyone, I met my goal. I might have "cheated" a little... :P
You know, watched the Fox video of how SP started (totally amazing btw-totally recommend it! It's at the bottom of your SP pts page, you get 10pts for it :D), and I also switched to Stage 3, went through what motivates me to lose weight, and have started a collage on pinterest of motivational stuff.... so here I am 1pt away from meeting my goal, so this blog will put me +2 over my goal. I didn't think it was possible, but thank you everyone for believing in me!
Today was quite the day. I watched my friends' three girls (12, 6, 5) and boy oh boy did they suck the energy out of me! It made me realize how much I do as a parent, that you can't really do with other kids for an extended period of time. They eat a lot (and dirty a lot of dishes), they want to play with electronics (they took the computer, ipad, and at one point my phone, and my camera)... so I was sitting downstairs taking a break of dishes and cooking, and thought, "well... what can I do without my phone or computer?" I had no idea I was so reliant on those two things throughout the day! Needless to say, it was still a huge blessing for me to watch them, it forced me to clean the house last night (even if I procrastinated and went to bed around midnight), and I got to try out the Every Day Paleo berry cobbler. A-mazing! I'm starting to pick up some things I like in her book. :D Hope it makes it worth the $30 we paid.. or maybe $20 since we used a Books a Million coupon.
Anyway. Here I am. Sore from Yoga Meltdown and Shred Level 3... and glad I got to walk a slow mile around the block with the girls (they rode their bikes and I pushed the kid).
Happy New Year!
I'm so competitive, I thought it'd be a great idea to break to my next level of sparkpoints before the new year... well, that's like 150 points away, I've already earned 100pts today, and I'm boosting it up by writing a blog. Does that make me crazy? lol. Probably yes...and just further proves that I am all about REWARDS! Even these imaginary sparkpoints.
Anyway. Tomorrow will be the real, sit down and ponder New Year's resolutions and all that jazz. Today, I actually stuck to mostly Paleo (minus those delicious crab rangoons I *knew* I was going to eat :P)... and somehow I'm still less than my calorie range... even though I'm not hungry (1300ish). I dunno.
And what a Christmas it was indeed! Our first one together, that we didn't spend in Hawaii. It was hard, especially on me missing the church family so much... here's the run down.
Bestie and her family were visiting her parents about 45min away... so we joined in their festivities for their family dinner 12/23. That was super fun. Her daughter is about 3 days older than Z, so my friend and I were preggo together, but she looked better and had way more fun than I did.
Christmas Eve we cruised around the house a lot, Zeke opened one present, we went for a ruck march (I'm trying to get up to doing 6miles with 35lbs on my back in 90 minutes). We only did 3.65mi and it was pretty slow, but it was better than not doing *anything* that day... other than Christmas Eve service at Awaken. Afterwards we headed home and after talking to the Christmas Santa (aka my mom), she said we could open all presents Christmas Eve since our Christmas day was pretty packed.
Needless to say, Zeke got a lot of Thomas the Train Mega Blocks stuff (which means a billion little pieces for parents to pick up around the house), I got a bunch of Rachel Ray cooking stuff to add to our collection, as well as perfect perfume and earrings from Marcus :D love them! Unfortunately he has to wait a couple days for his present-flying to Hawaii for our the Refresh retreat.
Christmas day meant we were driving to Princeton, KY to Sarah's parents' church for service at 1000. We had no idea that there wouldn't be childcare. If I knew, I don't think I would have joined them... but it wasn't too bad. But just imagine my squirmy climbing kid... sitting on the balcony of a Southern Baptist church.. Seriously thought he was going to go overboard, or someone would yell at us or something. But we survived. Then headed to the Segree Sanctuary (her parents' house down the road) for lunch and some hangout time. We were going to go for a leisurely "yog" until I got the dreaded phone call... actually... it was a call on my personal cell because apparently the severe wx standby phone, was forwarding every call to someone else... Either way, our hang out time was cut very short, as I had to rush to work to try and fix some communication things.
Thankfully my boss and a few others were super helpful in trying to get things up and running, and after 3hrs, I was able to go home. Still slightly funny that it was my first week on standby, and I get called in (during perfectly good weather)... on Christmas day. I feel officially initiated into the det. Just saying. ;)
We showed a little late to the Varble Christmas dinner... but seriously. The food was so delicious, the company was so fun... and I'm so glad God made me talk to Viv that first Wed night we went to service.
Now, it's late...and I'm about to finally put the kid down. Eeps! Sooo late! *night night*
Merry CHRISTmas!
PS-Ya'll will enjoy this... I started an ebay addiction after that Turbo Fire and instead got hooked on Jillian. I got a threesome (Shredded -the kettlebell workout, Banish Fat, No More Trouble Zones--$16.50), then accidentally purchased No More Trouble Zones ($6.50) shortly thereafter (I was trying to play the field, and it bit me in the butt)...and within the last hour won Yoga Meltdown ($8.50) and Ripped in 30 ($10.50). All I need is Killer Buns & Thighs and we'd be complete! But considering surgery in January... I think this is good enough to keep me busy ;) PLUS all prices include shipping. I'm impressed...minus the duplicate purchase... and hopefully someone else bids on a different Yoga Meltdown.. or else I'm stuck with two. *sigh*. This is it! No more bidding! :D

Breitbart: Rand Paul Responds to Ron Paul: 'Chris Kyle Was a Hero'Submitted by Peace Gold Love on Mon, 02/04/2013 - 20:17
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has told Breitbart News exclusively,
"Chris Kyle was a hero like all Americans who don the uniform to defend our country. Our prayers are with his family during this tragic time."

- Login to post comments
Down vote me at much as you
Down vote me at much as you like, but that doesn't change the facts. The statement was made, and agreed with, that "all Americans who don the uniform" are heroes. Guess y'all can't handle the truth.
It looks more and more like I cannot support Rand.
I don't buy the "He's just trying to fool the establishment" argument from the Rand supporters when he says things like this. I think he is an acorn that fell and rolled way down the hill from the tree he came from.
Rand is simply being a Politician to the idiotic public.
The fact of the matter with his post is:
"Chris Kyle was a opportunist like most Americans who don the uniform to ensure an income for themselves and thier family not to defend our country. Our prayers are with his family during this tragic time."
Kneeling at the feet of SEAL snipers
that get most of their kills from shooting poorly trained angry civilians is pathetic. Invade a country, occupy a country, piss off the local civilians, shoot them, become a hero. Not very American. Go Ron Paul. A true hero.
I wonder if Dad and Son are
I wonder if Dad and Son are actually planning this. Every time Dad makes a comment, Son makes a counter argument or a Fox News acceptable version of it. Trying to make it seem Son =/= Dad to win over the Beltway Israelis. Something to think about.
Southern Agrarian
I don't buy that Rand-Ron
I don't buy that Rand-Ron conspiracy theory for a minute. Ron Paul is not a Machevillian manipulator. If there is anything about his record that stands out, it is that he calls them as he sees them and does not play silly power games.
Ron Paul Quote
"We're in sad shape when telling the truth means you are a traitor." - Dr. Ron Paul
"Nothing just happens. Everything's planned." - Col. L. Fletcher Prouty
"I, __________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
There is no duration defined in the Oath
It's crossed my mind...
...since I have trouble imagining Ron or his staff sending that tweet without realizing the impact it would have.
"Alas! I believe in the virtue of birds. And it only takes a feather for me to die laughing."
I don't believe Ron Paul made that tweet
But I also didn't believe Ron Paul wrote racist statements in a newsletter that had his name. I gave him a break because he's so busy, some undermining writer (Lew Rockwell was accused of making that statement in Ron Paul's newsletter) and Ron Paul never admitted, or rejected, saying whether he wrote the racist comments.
I saw the article about Ron Paul's tweet. Headline news, and it discusted many people, especially those who come from tradtional military families like mine. I am the only one who refused to serve in the military. (and if I had to do it all over again, I would serve and would have worked to be a fly girl or top gun).
I have a brother that is a quadriplegic, an uncle who shot himself from PTS, an ex-nephew in law who has PTS and beat my neice and their newborn from his disorder when returning from Iraq. I can go on and on, write a book about military familes and the tragidy's that come from war, death, disabled physical and mental.
I know many vets and service men, their families, and many who suffer from life altering injuries, PTS, and to me, they are heros because whether they had no choice, or mde the choice to join the servce, they did, they served and they didn't get what they deserve, they got personal spoils of war so you can drive your car.
YOU BETTER BELIEVE MY PRAYERS ARE WITH KYLE'S FAMILY AT THIS TRAGIC TIME!!!! I'm standing with Rand Paul on this one. (That's right, unlike many of you stuck in 2007, I am learning from Rand Paul and I LOVE IT even more than learning from Ron Paul).
SHAME ON YOU WHO HAVE NO COMPASSION FOR TROOPS and THEIR FAMILIES.
His tweet
should NOT be understood to mean that he has no compassion for those who serve in the military. Perhaps you should read his facebook status that he made that clarified this.
"Once you become knowledgeable, you have an obligation to do something about it."- Ron Paul
I'm not on facebook
I don't tweet, and while it was a quote from the Bible, it was inappropriate, and not the compassionate, caring, Ron Paul who served, and knows, how hard it is for families to lose their loved one.
You would have
a much bigger impact for Liberty if you were on facebook and twitter.
Don't worry the government can already find you if they want to.
"Once you become knowledgeable, you have an obligation to do something about it."- Ron Paul
really the newsletters?
did you miss ben swann's two different segments on it? one even exposing the original writer which was known by the original smear monger all along, but kept it to himself.
the RP tweets however are for real and right on.
granger, i would expect you to stick with rand paul on just about anything at this point, even ron paul
fanatics are not afraid to disagree with ron on some issues. perhaps you do as well with rand, but i haven't seen it yet.
The only time I see Ben Swann is here on DP, sometimes
I don't watch TV, have NO interest in taking heads like Swann or the Judge or Swift.. they get paid to sway.
I did not agree with Ron Paul in 07/08 100%. I wanted him to go Indy or third party. He did not.
When Ron Paul ran in 12, I joined the GOP. By the time I was elected to my committee, it was hard for me to not agree with Ron Paul. Ron Paul takes a learning curve.
Rand Paul takes a bigger learning curve, and it's FOR REPUBLICANS. So if you are not a Republican, I don't expect you to like Rand Paul, understand Rand Paul, or do much of anything but berate and ridcule Rand Paul.
It's got to burn you that WE ARE THE FUTURE AND WINNING WITHOUT AND DESPITE YOUR EFFORTS TO UNDERMINE US.
who watches TV?
Reality Check is available at youtube. sounds like you know little about swann & the judge. i'm not surprised.
i didn't question you disagreeing with ron paul, in fact if you were honest i'll bet you disagree with him a lot
i asked about rand, and you've mentioned no disagreement with him. again no surprise.
rand paul IMO takes switching off learning and thinking and blindly following.
parties are irrelevant. they're both dead wrong on all the big issues. it's the system that needs changing and the libertarian message to continue to spread. the college kids get it.
i am not burned in the least. if the GOP is the future i want no part of it. i'm not trying to undermine. i was under the impression this forum was for discourse, debate, an exchange of ideas often in conflict. if everyone who disagrees with you is seen as the enemy then you are no different that the gop insiders who cheated and smeared dr. ron paul.
YouTube has become MSM propeganda
I don't know or care about Swann or The Judge.
I didn't agree with Ron Paul 100% when I supported him in 07/08 and resnted the fact he would not run Indy or third party and forced me to join the GOP if I wanted to have him win the nomination because he insisted in remaining in the GOP. He is still in the GOP.
Rand takes a learning curve and I am learning from Rand, and no I have no disagreement with him and the minute I do, DP will be the first to learn so I can collect the downvotes and shouts that I am a hypocrite.
Rand Paul is for those in the GOP that want to materialize Ron Paul's message and understand we are not the majority.
People without parties are slaves with no voice or choice.
The system can only be changed from within or by a civil war, which the UN would win.
You are not the future.. Rand Paul and the supporters like me are. You are not trying to undermine, you are actively doing your best.
I see no enemies.. only debate.
Wow, the term "Hero" is sure
Wow, the term "Hero" is sure being thrown around loosly these days.
Back in the day this is what "Hero" was all about.
"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
Audie Murphy, a 5 foot tall 2nd LT who single handedly fought off an entire NAZI company then, having been shot and refusing medical attention, organized a counter attack! No joke.
The single most decorated soldier in WWII, not just in the US, not just among the allies, but on all sides WORLD WIDE.
You are correct.
THAT is a true hero!
Audie Murphy was like a real-life Captain America, or about as close as anyone ever got in real life.
I'm an Audie Murphy fan but
I'm an Audie Murphy fan but he was mentally very, very screwed up by his experiences....as would any decent human being Here is the entry from the Encyclopedia of World Biography:
Murphy's personal life was also unsettled. Plagued by recurring nightmares, he slept with a loaded gun under his pillow for many years. He suffered tremendous guilt about the war and agonized over friends who never made it back. He became hooked on prescription drugs. Gambling, womanizing, and involvement in various business schemes caused him to lose most of his money. By the late 1960s, Murphy's many setbacks had left him bankrupt. One of the lowest points in his life came in 1970 when he was charged with assault after he beat up a man and fired a shot at him during an argument. He was eventually acquitted, but the negative publicity generated by the case proved tough to live down.
So you're saying...
....he turned out to be more honorable than John McCain or John Kerry.
I'd agree with that!
I have been to many SOAR conventions
One of my Uncles has two silver stars, my father was highly decorated, I have had the honor to shake the hands of people who EARNED Gold Medals of Honor, and they would ALL agree with Rand Paul.
Oh really???
Even Marines who throw puppies off cliffs?
What's the rest of the story?
Was he ordered to kill the puppy? If he was not, was he punished?
The YouTube you presented does not show the whole story, it's to provoke a repulsive and dispectable hate crime, that does not represent the vast majority of people who serve.
I watched my father put many men away in the brigg for lessor crimes.
Kyle did not kill puppies for fun, or by orders, or for mercy to my knowledge.
If all you know about troops is from watching dispictable acts, then I must ask you, why are you watching and sharing them? You must get some pleasure out of it.
Shame on you.
Granger, in theory you are correct.
Therefore, I gave you a +1 but...
In defense of the person you are responding to, today's military is most definitely NOT your father's military. It's much much different.
I admire and respect
I admire and respect all those who serve to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States.
There are many who sign up for the military to avoid jail, can not find employment, because they think they are tough, and many other reasons. It is like anything else. There are good apples, and rotten apples. I despise rotten apples.
Respect is earned, not given.
I stand and salute those who defend and protect the Constutution.
"What if the American people learn the truth" - Ron Paul
I don't post all that often,
and when I do, I try to keep my comments positive. But I really have to question the amount of loyalty and obsession with a man whose views sometimes blatantly contradict the reason this website was created. Why are so many people on a site created to support RON Paul blindly following his RAND? Yeah, I said it. You're either blind or never really believed in what, for so many years, Ron has stood up for.
Here's where I know I'm gonna get down-voted. So be it.
Some of you think that Rand is a version of Ron who is playing "their" games in order to advance liberty. You're delusional. That has never worked. And if a man can't even SPEAK what he truly believes, he surely isn't going to ACT on it. And, apparently unlike those of you with this view of Rand, I think he is honest. But the problem is, I don't agree with him. And I ain't gonna vote for him. For the Rand-obsessed who are so quick to support him, even when holding contrary-to-libertarian views, go start dailyrand.com, and have a good ol' time. I'm a libertarian.
Everyone's entitled to their opinions. But after learning the message of liberty, how can you support this man? He's just another lesser evil. (No, I don't think Rand is "evil," it's a figure of speech. He supports evil POLICY.)
Sorry for the rant. Down-vote away.
It's easy to support Rand because as an elected Republican who is activly fighting to change the GOP from within, ans succeeding, it's with Rand Paul's help. He's got MSM attention and is doing a far better job educating the PTB in the GOP than his father ever did.
What a shame to see Ron Paul reduce himself to stupid tweets that disrespect service men. I don't believe he made that tweet, but then again, he is human.
As for Rand obsessed.. it is those who do not belong to the GOP, are not elected or appointed, hanging out in no party or third parties or lost in Indy land of NO representation, who are obcessed with hating Rand because they've got NOTHING but old Ron Paul Youtubes.
WE ARE THER FURTURE WE ARE WINNING Obsess on that..
Winning what, exactly.
Please list all passed bills, cancelled executive orders, added freedoms, reduced welfare, seats fully retained by Liberty members, etc.
Your objective of win-win-winning is different than mine. It will take this nation an entirely different way of thinking in order to effect the change that we [I] seek. Compromising down to their nwo rhetoric does not equate to winning. Unless of course, that is what you mean by win-win-winning.
"What a shame to see Ron Paul reduce himself to stupid tweets that disrespect service men."
Your statement says it all.
"What if the American people learn the truth" - Ron Paul
Winning the hearts and minds of the GOP
Winning elections.
I took my elected seat January 2oth, and I am far from alone in those who are NEW to the GOP and we are now preparing to mobilize and go forward with our votes.
Yes, I will compromise because I'm not in power. It's a process that takes time and TIME WILL TELL.
I stand by my statement.

Someone needs to send Chad Johnson this report, because according to law... YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE COUNTRY WHILE STILL ON PROBATION.According to Johnson's Twitter account [below], he's planning on leaving the United States for the Dominican Republic for the Memorial Day holiday, which is next weekend. Also, keep in mind that a warrant for Johnson's arrest went out, on May 7, which Johnson hasn't responded too.The warrant stems from the domestic violence involving him and his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada last August.According to the Broward County District Attorney's Office, Johnson failed to report to his probation officer -- a violation of the terms of his probation -- and on May 7 the warrant for his arrest was issued for his arrest. Johnson also failed to show proof of enrollment and completion of the "Batterers Intervention Program."As of Sunday night, it's unknown if Johnson has surrendered himself to cops, but his last known location was in Pasadena, CA, which he posted on his Twitter account on May 16.Once Johnson is in police custody -- a hearing will be set to determine whether Johnson did in fact violate his probation. If he did indeed violate his probation, then he could do jail time.Either way it goes, if Johnson tries to leave the United States for his vacation trip next weekend, and his probation officer calls him and discovers he's out of the country, Johnson will become a fugitive of justice.The only way Johnson can leave the country is if it's a family emergency, something we all know is not the case with Johnson. It's also unlikely the courts won't grant Johnson's request to the leave the country since he's still a warrant man and hasn't turned himself in. Dominican Republic for Memorial Weekend...

I had this coupon fuchsia linen for several years and I had not yet figured out how to sublimate.

Federal officials reject California's plan to charge Medi-Cal co-payments
Federal health officials rejected California's bid to charge Medi-Cal co-payments for everything from drugs to hospital visits, dealing a new blow to the state budget but relief to low-income patients and their providers.
Gov. Jerry Brown and lawmakers relied on mandatory Medi-Cal co-payments to save $511 million in last year's state budget and presumed that the state would continue saving in future years.
The plan to charge low-income Medi-Cal patients and let doctors refuse care for nonpayment was unprecedented for a state on such a wide scale. The charges ranged from $3 for "preferred" drug prescriptions to $5 for doctor visits and a maximum $200 on hospital visits. Medi-Cal serves about 8 million Californians, though patients also eligible for Medicare were exempt from co-payments.
The state was required to obtain approval from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to implement its plan.
But CMS said in a letter Monday that it was "unable to identify the legal and policy support" for the change. Under the Social Security Act, a state must meet several tests in order to charge co-payments, which include "providing benefits to recipients of medical assistance which can reasonably be expected to be equivalent to the risks to the recipients."
Providers, such as physicians and dentists, and advocates for low-income Californians warned that a co-pay plan would hurt low-income patients by cutting access to health care. Providers felt it was a back-door cut in reimbursement rates, on top of a 10 percent reduction that a federal judge recently blocked, because the state put the burden on them to collect the co-pays or make the decision to refuse patients for nonpayment.
Vanessa Cajina, legislative advocate for the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said Medi-Cal patients would have stopped using health care if faced with a payment requirement. She said research shows that underuse of preventive health care, rather than overuse of the system, drives up costs.
"When people with even a nominal co-pay are asked to pay $3 to $5, they're going to write off the health care system writ large," Cajina said. "These are children going in for checkups, elderly people going in for care management. When you really start thinking about a person on Social Security or a mom on CalWORKs bringing in $800 a month, asking them to pay $5 is a much bigger chunk out of their budget than it would be for other folks."
The governor's latest budget, which estimates a $9.2 billion deficit, acknowledges the lost savings in 2011-12. But it is relying on $575 million to help balance next year's budget, according to Department of Finance spokesman H.D. Palmer. The administration will appeal Monday's ruling with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Palmer said.

Cracks in a Casco dam
CASCO (WGME) -- Cracks in a Casco dam are causing it to leak.
It's not clear if there's money to fix it. The Pleasant Lake Dam is jointly owned by the towns of Casco and Otisfield. Both towns say they aren't sure if they have the funds in the budget to make the necessary repairs.
Casco's Town Manager Dave Morton says some of the cracks are letting a significant amount of water through but their biggest concern is that gravel is making its way through, which could create even more problems.
Morton says: "Where the leakage is, there's gravel flushing through and that would indicate that it is possibly undermining the structure and that's really what peaked our immediate concern and caused us to investigate."
Town leaders say they're not sure how much it will cost to fix the dam. They say they've hired an evaluator to review the dam for further recommendations.
