After Obama signed the defense Bill which erodes my civil rights, I'll only vote for Paul the rest of the GOP pack has mental issues.
This ^
You have to give Ron Paul good marks for actually believing what he says. But if he's nominated, it'll be a worse rout for the Republicans than AuH20-64.
Ron Paul's foreign policy views *are* mainstream if you consider public opinion nationwide. The problem with the DC crowd is that they think DC opinion or Congressional opinion reflects the "mainstream" - that's where they are very much mistaken. Just because Paul doesn't vote for War with all the other congressman doesn't mean he's out of step. Rather, it means the majority of Congress is out of step with mainstream America.
Err, by "this^" I meant what Matt8265 had written.
Ron Paul cannot be bought. This guy is truly a ray of light and represents real hope. Someone who I would shake hands with, look him in the eyes and know that I could trust his convictions. The rest of these candidates are lost and hungry for power.
Certainly the Dems are for Ron Paul to win the caucuses, and have been instructed to ignore the Dems' caucuses and go vote for Ron Paul in the GOP's caucuses.
It would be great to see the Constitutionally Minded Ron Paul debate the Communist/Fascist Obama who just signed into law the 2012 NDAA that includes the Indefinite Detention/Incarceration of Americans by the Military on US Soil without a Trial. Next Obama would like to change the way we spell our country to 'Amerika'!
Americans are just plain dumb. They'll vote for vanilla if it's on the ballot. No way they're voting for Ron Paul. They'd have to read books and show critical thinking ability to do that. My internal polls show that only 0.02% of Americans can do that. Ha ha ha.
If elected, I promise to pass the legislation that would severely restrict the fourteenth and sixteenth amendments. Now that the NDAA ended that atrocity called the fourth amendment, there's nothing in the way of government. America was always meant to be a dictatorial democracy. That's what our founders always wanted. Print that WSJ.
Ron Paul is a straight no chaser kind of mix you need post New Years eve! If you are satisfied with business as usual, the neo-con playbook,the financial bailouts,the huge budget's and printing of paper by the Federal Reserve and the ever so useless,dismissive,selective corporate media who tell you who they will sell.. than do not vote for Ron Paul!
Ron Paul will be elected in one of the largest landslides in history against Obama precisely because he is exactly the opposite of Obama. This is a clear case between Capitalism vs. Socialism, Freedom vs. Slavery, and life vs. death! All other republican candidates are to a much greater extent socialist especially Romney! That is why Paul is dominating. Right now. If you understand how ideas drive history you can clearly see that it is all of the freedom-oriented candidates vs. the complete socialist Romney. The only reason Gingrich surged is because people thought he was not a socialist too, but when they found out he plummeted. For voters Its just a matter of finding out what Paul really said and his true ideas and waking up to the understanding of liberty, freedom, capitalism, and individualism for the first time and you have the unstoppable phenomena that is sweeping Paul into the Presidency of the United States!!
You have witnessed Ron Paul's campaign organization accomplish the waking up of Iowa voters! He did that in spite of the media and the neocon socialist republican leadership establishment. His campaign effectively marginalized them! When he moves into the next state New Hampshire it is just repeat process! He is now and Romney is all ready plummeting and Paul is rapidly rising!!! Obviously when all the other semi freedom candidates drop when Paul wins in Iowa their supporters will be added to Paul!. It is going to be one of the biggest landslide victories in republican primary history. It could be as high as 75% Paul to 25% Romney!
You are getting passed by...by logic, reason and ideas! People don't just like Ron Paul they like Ron Paul because they are discovering the ideas of liberty, freedom, capitalism and individualism for the first time! Don't you think it's time to wake up yourself???? If you really want to understand read this booklist in order! http://126.96.36.199/~theinvio/?page_id=1388 The blog is not well written but the booklist is right on!
All i have to say is Romney care the socialist!

Go Ron Paul....show the corporate media they are wrong!!
Oh- -"or second" is it? Maybe, maybe not.
If he comes in second in Iowa, then where does he expect to win?
Ron Paul must win! This is a big deal.
The polls cover Republicans... Ron Paul is going to pull in a boat-load of independents and Dems too... He's going to crush the other Neocons.
The other candidates have the support of the powerful but miniscule Neocons.
Thing is the Neocons are rightfully viewed as dangerous, anti-American scum by Conservatives, Dems and Independents.
Ron Paul's numbers are going to crush the Neocon lizards.
THE COUNTRY IS BROKE! ...We are not being told the truth by the corporate media..I mean Andrea Mitchill is married to Alan Greenspan, "Mr asset bubble himself"...Are the saver's making interest on their savings? No!
You can thank the crooks in D.C,Goldman Sach's, The Fed (might as well call it Goldman Sach's or Citi) for
impoverishing the hardworking saver's and debasing the dollar...And you got a bunch of dopes who want to
throw diplomacy out the window and bomb Iran? Huh? ....another trillion dollars added to the deficit!
Ron Paul is the only choice for President. He can unite the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall St and the silent
Ron Paul seems like a nice enough fellow, but he is irrelevant. It's Obama vs Romney. The rest is just noise.
Ron Paul is the only candidate that can not be bought.
Vote to end the status quo.
Vote for the U.S. Constitution.
Vote to end the HUGE DEBT that threatens us all.
Please go to You Tube and search for: Ron Paul 2012.
Ron Paul is supported by Conservatives, Dems and Independents.
The other candidates are only supported by Neoconservatives, a small but powerful group despised by everyone else.
Ron Pauls numbers will crush Mitt's.
Paul? Iowa?
Romney will win all the primaries. All of them.
Then Obama will win by a landslide in the general election.
Deal with it!
Go Ron Go !!
Straighten-out those other Republican hypocrites and make it hot for them.
I think you and Romney would make an excellent team.
Send Rodeo Clown Rick back to Austin .
Dream Act?
For whom?
I have a high income and run my own company in San Jose. I paid FULL BILL to the UC for TWO kids. Yeah, it was expensive.
It was my dream. I PAID FOR IT. FULL BILL.
Now, I am supposed to get on my knees and open my wallet and help a PARTICULAR FEW have their dream.
What about MY DREAM?
The WSJ talks non-stop about losing the Hispanic vote. They get very concerned when others will NOT OPEN THEIR WALLETS to WIN THE HISPANIC VOTE. They call them narrow minded, and ready to give Obama another four years.
Frankly, what is the difference? The WSJ candidate will honor the dream act saying it cost a pittance. When has any government program that began small ever become anything other than a plundering goliath?
The WSJ are all RINOs. They will plunder me to win their influence in DC.
If Murdoch is so hot for the dream of some and the demise of others then why doesn't he cough up the dough HIMSELF?
The dream act is a ZERO SUM GAME. It is a tax. SOME LOSE BIG TIME, and some WALK AWAY WITH THE LOOT.
Thanks politicians. Thanks for shatting all over the dreams of some in order to win the votes of others.
Keep up the good work.
The media's ignoring, ridicule and outright smearing of Ron Paul while bolstering other candidates illustrates nicely the two great modern schemes operating in American politics facilitated by the mainstream media – those being: the phony "two party paradigm" and the creation of the phony GOP "tea party". First, the concept of a modern "tea party" came on board with the Ron Paul supporters back in 2007 during the campaign. Actual pounds of tea were to be dropped by a hovering blimp into Boston Harbor on the historic day of the original Boston tea party against British tyranny as a gesture of defiance to the status quo (lost of civil liberties; unending illegal wars; nation building; destruction of our currency; torture and extraordinary rendition; abuse of civil liberties under the bogus Patriot Act etc.). Party affiliation, national origin, race etc. wasn't important – all were welcomed - only a love of liberty and a willingness to fight for it and hence among those veterans the movement is rarely regarded as "tea party" but instead the "liberty" or "freedom" movement and it is definitely not GOP or Gingrich, Perry or Bachmann!!
In 2008 when the "dynamic duo" - McCain and his side kick - Palin got their bloodied grinded behinds handed back to them by Obama. This is exactly what the mainstream media had orchestrated for the previous year – and the rank and file GOP voters predictably bought it – they bought media served "stooge of the day" McCain and side kick hook line and sinker! I invite you to research progressive AP reporter Liz Soldoti's coverage of McCain 2008 and see how she systematically built him up "straight talk express" to become the GOP front runner – the MSM knowing he was hopeless and would get creamed by Obama!
Immediately after the election in an attempt to do damage control the RNC/GOP and right leaning media embraced "tea party" to co-opt the movement for the progressive neo-cons – enter the right media ala FOX and the likes of social controlling neo-con personalities such as Rush Limbaugh; Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. The left media, MSNBC etc. and their social controlling components: Keith Obermann; Chris Mathews and Rachel Maddow in an effort to maintain and reinforce the phony two party paradigm immediately hyped them "racists" and "secessionists" nut jobs stressing the "tea party" as against newly elected President Obama primarily because he was black!
Hence: the term "tea party" as currently hyped in the media is a creation of the mainstream media and simply equates to good old American progressive "neo-con"! The concept of "tea party" they propagate is a primary tool currently used to continue the "two party paradigm". Anyone uninformed enough to buy in is being seriously played and hasn't taken the effort to analyze the actual facts – just taking the media's word for it like a good little boy or girl and maintain the "status quo".
Allow me to go a little Taoist on you – the "real" tea party you hear about is not the "REAL" tea party!
Strange as it may seem, there is actually little socio-economic and political ideological difference between – lets say, MSNBC and FOX – only the illusion of one! Both the (so – called) right and left factions of American mainstream media are all globalists - wanting to maintain and expand American empire with all their corporate owners having direct BOD relationships with the giants in the military industrial complex such as: GE; Texaco; Chevron; Boeing; Lockheed Martin; Citigroup; Rockwell Automation; Chase, WorldCom, and JP Morgan; Halliburton, etc. and thereby financially benefit directly from the ongoing nation building and entrenched foreign occupations.
So the mainstream media as a whole created the current "GOP tea party" as is hyped today, to attempt to contain and control the actual legitimate non-partisan "liberty movement" (being the actual REAL "tea party" started by Ron Paul supporters in 2007) – it being a threat to the status quo and use the phony "two party paradigm" to help them do it. This is the illusion of two different parties counter balancing one another – please don't say you can't remember recently this spring when republican Senator McCain and democrat Senator Kerry went arm in arm bellowing for illegal war with Libya? Do you not find it is strange that Obama never changed Bush/Cheney policies regarding: torture; bailouts; WARS; Patriot Act and lost of civil liberties and abuse of American citizenry. Exactly - both parties want huge intrusive central authority – its just one side prefers to balloon the size of government with aggressive warfare and less social welfare and vice-versa. Americans are spoon fed the "two party paradigm" as a controlling device through the lame-stream media – that's why globalist neo-cons like Bachmann and Perry are being hyped as "tea party" and that is why they are desperately trying to co-opt many of Ron Paul's life-long political positions on things, such as: auditing the Federal Reserve.
For years have you scratched your head wondering - why are our representatives in DC doing this? Are they trying to destroy America? Unfortunately in a twisted sense – they are. For the globalist in both parties it's not about gaining a secure and prosperous American Republic; upholding liberty maintaining the supreme law of the land – the U.S. Constitution. It is totally about maintaining an economic empire for a select group of oligarchs using the American military - our blood and treasure! It's about redistributing American wealth and technology and building "emerging" economies in China and India etc while de-industrializing America! It's about destroying our education system with federal control so that our young people test dismally against students in the rest of the world in science and math! It's about defending borders overseas while leaving our southern border in the USA open allowing for abuses of American citizens. We could go on and on about the mistreatment Americans suffer at the hands of a rogue government! However, you and I both know that throughout the process of the dismantling of America, the mainstream media tells you "its okay – remember back in 2008 when they spoon-fed us "don't worry either top tier candidate, Obama or McCain will get us on track"! Now the media is trying to force-feed us their GOP choice (Gingrich or Romney) AGAIN!
Yeah right! We know how that worked out!
The media is currently working overtime to convince voters that the candidates like: Romney; Gingrich; Perry and Bachmann are significantly different than President Obama – this is definitely pure BS! All of the 2012 candidates (in both parties) polling significant numbers nationally are deep in the pocket of international banking and the military industrial complex EXCEPT RON PAUL! This corrupt system needs an on-going puppet in the White House to keep bailing out criminals and keep this bogus war on terror going and ramped up bombing and saber rattling all awhile the media keeping the American people placated with the "two party paradigm" allowing for global elites to steal American national wealth and sovereignty! Ron Paul is the only candidate significantly different than Obama and therefore the ONLY ONE capable of beating him on issues that the majority of Americans heavily support (like ending: illegal wars; torture and illegal detention; abolishing the Patriot Act as well as the infamous NDAA; ending the Federal Reserve; stopping the failed "war on drugs and the abuses of IRS and TSA as well as getting us out of treaty organizations that rob us of our sovereignty such as: NATO and NAFTA etc.)
The "establishment" is in a real bind – the media's "ignore" phase for the "Ron Paul problem" hasn't worked and the "discredit" phase is now underway. These types of tactics are standard procedure in any third world banana republic to marginalize legitimate opposition to the regime and status quo. They have NO place in a free representative Republic!
So, fellow Americans if by now you haven't acknowledged that Obama is a corporate puppet you are in serious denial or part of the subversion! If you want things to continue under the rule of the global "banksters' and "tanksters" – maintain the status quo and allowing tyranny to grow under the phony "two party paradigm" - vote for the spoon- fed media's "top tier": Obama; Romney; Gingrich; Perry; Bachmann etc., but if you want things to truly change and have the assurance that you will have the right to be heard and not silenced then begin to restore America liberty now and support Ron Paul! He can't be bought – and the establishment knows it! They must use every means available to attempt to marginalize him - hence the blackout, ridicule and smear! Check your states regulations for rules of primary voting and do whatever it takes (you may have to join the Republican Party) so that you can cast your primary vote for Ron Paul.
WE WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN! Ron Paul 2012!!!
Romney & Paul 2012
So Amazing to see all the Dems here pushing Ron Paul and his Crazy Politics.
Just goes to show the Dems are Quaking in their Boots to see Obama go up against Romney !!!!!
Go Romney !!
A former conservative, sick and tired of the fake right with their social conservative horse shat positions, now voting for Paul.
In a nutshell, both parties support stupid wars. Both parties support tons of immigration malfunctions. Both support the Dream Act.
The Dream Act is the straw that broke the camel's back for many people.
It is the paragon of DC politics. Rob some to give to others to win their votes. And this time it is done precisely along racial, and skin color lines.
Some, for no reason other than skin color, will have their dreams dashed, while others, through NO effort or merit of their own, will have have their BIOLOGY rewarded with MY money.
The dream act is a sign of a totally insane ruling elite.
Why not fund the Dream Act with hand outs from the top 1%.
They can either pay the tax or make the grants?
If Paul wins he'll be assassinated by the neocons anyway. At least his views are getting airtime setting the stage for his son Rand in '16.
This bill would provide conditional permanent residency to certain illegal aliens of good moral character who graduate from US high schools, arrived in the US as minors, and lived in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill's enactment. If they were to complete two years in the military or two years at a four year institution of higher learning, they would obtain temporary residency for a six year period. Within the six year period, they may qualify if they have "acquired a degree from an institution of higher education in the United States or has completed at least 2 years, in good standing, in a program for a bachelor's degree or higher degree in the United States" or have "served in the armed services for at least 2 years and, if discharged, has received an honorable discharge".[2] Military enlistment contracts require an eight year commitment, with active duty commitments typically between four and six years, but as low as two years.[3][4] "Any alien whose permanent resident status is terminated... shall return to the immigration status the alien had immediately prior to receiving conditional permanent resident status under this Act."[5] This bill would have included illegal immigrants as old as 35 years of age.
In a December 2010 report, the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that the November 30th, 2010 version of the DREAM Act would "reduce deficits by about $1.4 billion over the 2011-2020 period and increase government revenues by $2.3 billion over the next 10 years."[6] The same report also notes that the Act "would increase projected deficits by more than $5 billion in at least one of the four consecutive 10-year periods starting in 2021".
One recent UCLA study estimates that between $1.4 trillion and $3.6 trillion in taxable income would be generated for the economy over a 40 year period based upon estimates ranging between 825,000 and 2.1 million potential DREAM Act beneficiaries successfully obtaining resident status through the legislation.[7]
It's not Mr. Paul, it's Dr. Paul.
The neocons will assassinate Paul if he wins. Paving the way for his son Rand in '16
"permanent residency to certain illegal aliens"
What the hell is "Certain"??
In USA ALL people should follow THE SAME LAWS, defined by constitution.
Ron Paul 2012
A naive question:
The Constitution is more than 200 years old. How can we use a 200 years old document to define today's life? Is it senseless just as using 2000 years old bible to define today's life?
The neocons will assassinate Paul if he wins. Paving the way for his son Rand in '16
I strongly disagree with MSM propaganda: "Ron Paul has NO CHANCE to make it through the Republican nomination process." I once shared their opinion.
Life long democrat (60 yrs old), me, converted (greatly surprising even myself)!
I will admit that Dr Paul has some "strange" ideas, but he would not be king.
We still have checks and balances (at least at this writing).
Ron Paul is getting a lot of face time on MSM now! Have you listened to him? He ACTUALLY answers questions and does not respond with canned "talking points", nor with obscure verbage that is not an answer to the question.
"We'd have a hell of a fight on our hands in a Ron Paul presidency, defending Social Security and Medicare, promoting economic equality, fighting climate change and pollution, defending abortion rights and maybe fighting a resurgence of Jim Crow in some parts of the country, but at least we wouldn't have to worry about being spied upon, beaten and arrested and then perhaps shipped off to Guantanamo for doing it." - DAVE LINDORFF is a founding member of ThisCantBeHappening!, the new Project-Censored Award-winning independent online alternative newspaper.
I still like the Newt, but there is one way I could vote for Romney. If Romney agreed to make Ron Paul his prime minister to do all his thinking and policy-making for him, I could go for him. Romney doesn't seem to be interested in thinking and policy, anyway, so nothing is really lost on his part. He could still do the speeches and public appearances. They say he looks presidential, so he'd probably be good at it. Paul has a good sense of humor and can think on his feet, so he we'd have something to listen to besides banalities and platitudes.
Joanne - If Ron Paul wins and follows through on his views that Social Security and Medicare are unconstitutional, the fact that you're 60 means it's going to hit you far harder than it will me.
You deserve whatever government you vote for...
Folks, it's time to adopt the Communist Manifesto as a new constitution of the United States. Until then it's an uphill battle.
You don't get it Ron Paul, do you? You look decrepit, you act decrepit, you talk decrepit, and what you are going to accomplish is to hand The Bozo In Chief the White house again and thanks to you, it will be in a gold platter.
You are another demented, idiotic, sleepless j.e.r.k just like John McCain: Both of you will soon be taken care of by Visiting Angels to help you carry around your old baggy body with a wooden head full of saw dust on top
"If Ron Paul wins and follows through on his views that Social Security and Medicare are unconstitutional..."
You mean if he winds the program down while honoring commitments to the people who were forced to contribute, as he has said he intends to do? I doubt that's going to "hit" Ms. Renshaw at all.
Romney there master puppet has never had the support they claim. Ron Paul has been steady, and always climbing. Now the MSM comes all out and says Santorum. Who else could they give there votes to in order to make the election real and not fixed. Polls, and trolls. These polls are worth as much the money they print on. Everyone that votes for Ron Paul would do well to hold on to there reciept, and closley monitor the real amount of people that are voting. After watching the media treat a man like Ron Paul the way they have nothing would surprise me. You are dealing with a political system that most all agree is corrupt. Why then should I think an election would be any different. Ron Paul is the only candidate that stands in contrast to the corporatism, and evil bankers that have robbed the american people in secret. Made our dollar worthless on the backs of the working poor, and middle class.
So is it just a coincidence that this paper is owned by Rupert Murdoch, has failed to provide proper coverage of the NDAA, and consistently belittles Ron Paul?
I guess I'm going to have to cancel my subscription.
Looks like clear and sunny weather for Iowans on Tuesday. That means the media won't be able to discredit a Ron Paul victory by blaming bad weather. They'll probably blame Obama somehow. :-)
Mr. Paul doesn't read from telepromts. He's a former officer who has seen the tragedy of war. Reagan thought very highly on him AND, for a change, he'd focus on the United States. Those demonizing him do so because he will stop borrowing from China to finance Israel, who's facing major protests and a myriad of problems, corruption, etc. The People need someone who will finally focus on North Americans and end the Fed. Note: I used to be Democrat. We need a new Reagan. Nations must deal with their own problems, with their own means and with their own servicemen and women. My humble opinion. Happy 2012
Go Ron Paul! Iowans are setting the stage for the most hopeful election in many years.
Dr. Ron Paul should run as an independent if the Republicans nominate an unprincipled opportunist like Romney.
He will defeat Obama and Romney.
Ron Paul 2012,.
Thank you Dr. Paul for staying on the message liberty and the Constitution, in the blitz of mediabots trying to put a negative twist on every comment you make. In order for our Republic to continue to exist we need individuals such as yourself at the helm.
There's a very good chance that bad weather, low turnout, and a GOP electorate full of libertarian radicals will give Ron Paul the victory in Iowa on Tuesday. He has the momentum and the rabid fan base to do it.And if that happens, this out of touch right-wing maniac with a racist past and insane policy proposals will destroy the GOP as a mainstream political entity and take the importance of Iowa out of the presidential primary system for good. Ron Paul is not mainstream America. http://www.sunstateactivist.org
I have great respect for the principles and fervency of Paul's supporters but for their political acumen, not so much.
Republicans ultimately will not nominate, nor will Americans elect, a candidate whose politics has long been propelled by paranoia and conspiracy theories. The sky has been falling in Paul's world for 30-plus years. Americans will not re-litigate the gold standard or the autonomy of the Fed.
Most voters are not as engaged as the people posting here, and the initial exposure of Paul for many will soon be his denials and disavowals of his past tacit - at a minimum - advocacy of openly racist, homophobic and lunatic fringe beliefs.
By late January, whatever happens in Iowa will be a distant memory, as it is every four years. Republicans can either nominate Romney or assure the president's re-election.
He'll be lucky to finish third.
Agree Capt. Lewy,
Ron Paul must be a complete idiot by thinking he can bring about real change and actually balance our out of control budget. This is America, who does this nut think he is anyway? Fiscal responsibility - what a bunch of baloney! Who needs it? 15-16 trillion dollar deficit? Deficit schmesifit, who cares really, when we have such a stellar cast of alternatives, such as Romney or Barry. I concur Capt. Lewy, you know your stuff.
I vote for ron paul each time he runs. Its kind of complicated though because I believe he will use his office as defined in the constitution, and will not have the power against a corrupt congress who lives off pork and lobbyists to be able to bring about any real change. Sadly I think no matter who wins, in the end its going to be the country that suffers. Thats one of the reasons I decided not to have kids. I would rather they not be subject to what the future brings.
In an insane world of political leaders who openly disobey the constitution via undeclared wars, banker bailouts, and Patriot Acts/NDAA, Ron Paul is one the sanest.

I see that our choices are very clear here. We can elect Obama who has abandoned almost all of his campaign promises while carrying on the bush war regime. We can elect a Mitt Romney or a Rick perry or Newt Gingrich aka more of the same....Or we can put out a vote that really counts with a candidate that DOES NOT flip flop on his views, a candidate that wants to Restore our Great Nation by virtue of the United States Constitution. We have been abandoning and allowing our leaders to attack the ONE thing that defines and protects our freedoms and our very way of life. We really can't afford another puppet behind the wheel. We need another Thomas Jefferson or John Adams we need true change, change that would create a paradigm shift back towards "We The People"
Ron Paul 2012
@ junglemutt
"...actually balance our out of control budget."
Bill Clinton accomplished it just a few years ago (before Bush managed to collapse the whole thing) without resorting to absurd, backward-marching extremes. And the deficit is nowhere near 15-16 trillion.
You have the uninformed alarmist paranoia and political myopia of the typical Paul cultist.
The Paul cult is peaking again ... on internet discussion boards ... before the actual voting starts. (Same thing happened last election).
Three weeks from now? He's a punch line on late night shows.

If Ron Paul a 20 + year loser in Congress wins or even comes in close in the IA Caucus then both IA and Paul, both accidents of history will be completely ignored.
The IA Caucus is simply a circus act that is old and worn out tradition like Paul. What a waste of time and money.
You can trust Ron Paul
You can trust Ron Paul .You can trust Ron Paul .You can trust Ron Paul .You can trust Ron Paul .You can trust Ron Paul .You can trust Ron Paul .You can trust Ron Paul .You can trust Ron Paul .You can trust Ron Paul .You can trust Ron Paul .You can trust Ron Paul . In case your wondering that's what we chant at the Paul cult meetings . You should try it .
Ron Paul's plan to cut 1 trillion in spending and downsize the federal government, repeal regulations and taxes, and restore the nations fiscal health will create private sector jobs.
That's the chant? I thought it was End the Fed. End the Fed. End the Fed...
He'll lose to Obama, and that, by itself is why I cannot vote for him. If we have Odumbo 4 more years, and a Senate that is in the hands of Dems, we will not recognize the country in 2016.

sheeps everywhere!
i love this Ron Paul campaign more than anything. Not for its glorious message (of which it is) but how the intelligent ascend among the ignorant, creating a gaping divide in the American consciousness. I want this country to fall, i want violence to reign in, i want to see people suffer. Maybe with the barrel pointed at them, they will finally realize that life is precious, and that they waste their lives by being irrelevant bigot animals with no true use or purpose on earth. NDAA, come send me off to a FEMA camp ASAP. i will do nothing but laugh and chuckle over the subhuman parasites you are.
Ron Paul President 2012.
Help this pro-Ron Paul, Denver Conspiracy Examiner article go totally viral! Help Ron Paul get elected! Send it out on all the social media networks! "Support the troops by supporting Ron Paul"
We could learn a-lot from the citizens of Egypt and the Arab Spring. Look at who is supporting Mitt Romney and Obama---- Wall Street and the big banks. If we don't vote Ron Paul into office we're through. The U.S. is going bust. Have some courage and vote for who will actually change our system of government. We don't have 4 more years to waste on puppet leaders placed into office by wall street. Vote for Paul and we might have a chance. Romney may be able to prolong the collapse by a year or two. Are we going to settle for that?
Another article that talks about Ron Paul without discussing, much less questioning, his policy positions. With little help from media, I researched his positions. I can confirm that they aren't mainstream (most of what's happened since the 1930's is illegal). Paul is an idealist with little regard for the radicalism of his policies or the abrupt effect they could have. Who else would risk cutting 1 trillion out of the federal budget in one freaking year? How the media should deal with Paul: http://moderatepoli.blogspot.com/2012/01/fair-way-to-report.html
The only candidate who has the right bold ideas is Ron Paul and, only Ron Paul can beat Obama.
If, Ron Paul gets the GOP nomination: Ron Paul gets the following voters:
(A) 2008 Obama voters who thought they were going to get 'Change'
(B) 2008 Obama voters who voted to end the wars.
(C) The VAST majority of the Independent vote,
(D) The entire GOP voting block who dislikes Obama enough to vote for Ron Paul instead.
(E) Ron Paul supporters coming out to vote in DROVESand, a machine like no other for the General Elections! (No other candidate can compete against Obama's machine but Ron Paul! Wake Up People!)
(F) Same-sex couples who want to be set free.
(G) Democratic, disillusioned Anti-Drug war voters.
(H) Libertarians.
(I) Youth Vote (Obama has lost them to Ron Paul but, if RP does not get the nomination, they will go back to Obama)
Also, keep in mind, that the Independents have the largest voting block in this country. Republicans and Democrats are the minorities. For the GOP to attack the only candidate on the GOP ticket that can beat Obama is truly insane!
The GOP did not learn anything from 2008. They keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results! Only idiots do that!
Listen up MINORITY GOP...If, you do not get behind Ron Paul, YOU WILL get 4 more years of Obama! GUARANTEED!!!!!!!!
No Ron Paul supporter will vote for any other GOP Candidate. Independents will go back to Obama as will the disenfranchised Democrats and the youth vote!
The GOP Establishment and the MSM are digging their owns graves and will permanently destroy the GOP for good! Maybe thats not a bad thing since they have their heads where the sun don't shine!
Might Rob Me is commie RINO. He is the worst possible choice to represent the republican party. Ron Paul on the other hand is a legitimate conservative with a small government, noninterventionist foreign policy, who believe in sound money and the constitution. Might Rob Me is shill who will con the republicans into keeping a modified version of Obama care, and work wit the FED to further devalue and the dollar and hence the savings of millions of Americans while taking credit for stimulating the economy because he is such great business man. I could fix the economy too by effecting wiping out all the old debt but is this the monetary policy the US wants to adopt? If so we have truly lost our way.
Looks like WSJ got some new readers. GOP / DNC has to decide which way they go at this point: Bush/Obama/Romney or Paul. I know which way they "want to go" - but they will alienate a lot of people.
Want to see the GOP machine discuss who comes in 2nd in Iowa or in November.
Ron Paul. Constitutional government. Individutal liberty. Limited government. Return to the roots of what made America great - land of the free....
Ron Paul slips to third behind Romney and -- bwahahaha -- Santorum.
"The Polls wrote :
Ron Paul slips to third behind Romney and — bwahahaha — Santorum."
Nope, they issued a retraction. Said it was a "mistake". Paul in 2nd. Santorum at 15% way back in 3rd still.
Ron Paul's foreign policy ideas have been attacked by a wide range of people but mostly by the party establishment that nominated Bob Dole and John McCain and now push Mitt Romney because he is a puppet. But what about Ron Paul's foreign policy? What is so bad about a non interventionist foreign policy? Other countries mind their own business and they get by just fine. What is wrong with bringing home all the troops from hell holes in the mid east and from Japan, Korea, and Europe? What is wrong with ending all foreign aid? And finally why are these policies that make perfect sense being attacked when a continuation of the current policies will result in increased debt and less security at home and will just get many people killed. Anyone with an iq above 50 could see the damage already done and the future damage that will be done by continuing with the national insanity this country is engaged in.
I agree with what Jerry Fair posted. I think it is time we stop wasting our money on foreign policy. I do not think we can afford to be engaged in every single worldwide conflict, and I think Ron Paul will at least pull us in the right direction on these issues. It does not mean we will not still have a military and be able to defend ourselves.
Brannon-I wish I could get the corrupt news media to agree with me. Even on the Washington Journal today Gretta mentioned that Ron Paul went home for New Years. Why would she even mention a non issue like that? I have never seen a media bias that the one against Paul. Then on another channel it was mentioned that the recent statements from Iran came at a bad time for Paul since he does not want to interfere over there. What are they talking about? When are these idiots going to wake up and realize the USA is not the policemen of the world? Iran is not going to set off a nuclear bomb even if they had one which they don't. Stop this non sense about Iran. Vote for guy with the best interest of the American people instead of the best interest of defense contractors.

Nicole Hamilton wrote :You have to give Ron Paul good marks for actually believing what he says. But if he's nominated, it'll be a worse rout for the Republicans than AuH20-64.
Nicole-I could not disagree with you any more even if someone paid me not to. Ron Paul is the only candidate on the GOP side who will have democrats and independents vote for him. Romney can not get any of those and only about 25% of his party. It will be another Bob Dole/John McCain disaster if they don't come to their senses and nominate Paul. Wake up republican establishment before it is too late.
Please nominate Ron Paul.
I have one request to all the Iowa citizens participating in the upcoming contest. Don't fall for the establishment dogma. Don't vote for the glib, pro business, anti citizen, milk toast candidate Mitt Romney. Mitt has out sourced thousands of American jobs and is favored by wall street. He has no plan for America just silly 4th of July speeches with no policy commitments or substance. His weak performances in the debates have been over looked by the media because they want him. There is no difference between Mitt and Obama. There are hundreds of reasons not to vote for him. Do some research and add up the pluses and minuses and put aside emotion and you will realize Ron Paul is the best choice.
Ron Paul is the only candidate that can actually relate to the average American.Being a physician and bring babies into this world of every creed,race and national origin is( I believe) why he sees people so much as individuals instead of groups.All humans enter this world the same way,have families,love,rights and want freedom to live their lives.The other candidates do not seem to be bothered by our soldiers and people in other countries being blown to bits by bombs. Paul is the only candidate that would take war very seriously because of the toll in human life and the horror it has on families and societies. It seems that the others are so far removed from this and seem to have a frivolous attitude about it.
ron paul is a looney tune. we love some of his ideas, but those ideas are the same as those of many of the other republican candidates. but the fact remains that he is frighteningly naive about the countries that wish do us harm. the right candidate has the greatest number of ideas that will improve our situation and also protect us, which is one of the only tasks the federal government should concern itself with. paul goes off the reservation too frequently to be seriously considered. the handful of the bloggers who comprise the pro ron paul posts are driven in the way that all fanatics are driven: by delusion. they simply do not represent the main stream, try as they might to appear as if they do.
Uncle Rupert sics most of his dogs on Ron Paul but does allow Andrew Napolitano and Neil Cavuto free reign to support or not attack him. Is it a transparent ruse or a weak attempt at an out when the angry mobs come?
I agree that Ron Paul's ideas ( and actions in his case ) are not what main stream politicians express, nor are they what main stream media expresses. As for main stream America, they have yet to speak. I think I'm kind of main stream, I love my family, my friends, my neighbors, my countryman and Ron Paul and his principles. I would love to see Ron Paul win the primary and have Rand Paul as his running mate!
Like you now what, the name Paul attracts the flies.
Hopefully you will like the way your girls look in burkas as well.
Paul/Palin 2012
I'm as mainstream as they come, and I'm behind Ron Paul 100%. I think we'll see that he's more mainstream than the pundits give him credit for after he starts picking up votes left and right (no pun intended) over the next few weeks.
Ron Paul is the best choice for the next USA president, by far. He has been accurate in predicting the financial collapse, the never ending failed wars, and the constant erosion of civil liberties & freedom. Vote for any other candidate and you get more debt, martial law in your streets, and the destruction of your currency in the world market.
Paul then Santorum and Romney third.
Pretty much every Obama supporter is desperately hoping that Ron Paul wins. They would LOVE to have him be the candidate ... it would pretty much assure an Obama victory.
When or if Paul gets the nomination, do Obama supporters expect to be wooed by the same anti-climatic rhetoric of 2008? Are they forgetting Obama voter regret? Why is that I keep hearing liberals intending on voting for Paul if he gets the nomination? I was tempted not to ask these questions, because I'm voting for Doug Stanhope because he knows our opinions don't matter.
Romney, Santorum, Perry, Paul.

The Darker Side of Travel: The Theory and Practice of Dark Tourism
Over the past decade, the concept of dark tourism has attracted growing academic interest and media attention. Nevertheless, perspectives on and understanding of dark tourism remain varied and theoretically fragile while, to date, no single book has attempted to draw together the conceptual themes and debates surrounding dark tourism, to explore it within wider disciplinary contexts and to establish a more informed relationship between the theory and practice of dark tourism.
This book meets the undoubted need for a such a volume by providing a contemporary and comprehensive analysis of dark tourism.

Had dinner tonight with the operator of another local studio. Very high end Senior Portraits $3000+ average senior sale studio. These guys are big time.
They have several upcoming workshops, and will be speaking at our state level function in June.
But I am concerned.
The President of their local guild is telling them that they must be Approved and voted on by the them before they are allowed to Affiliate their workshops with PPA.
I've never heard of such a thing.
Am I wrong or is this between the couple and PPA?
I do not believe that instructors have to subject themselves to approval from anyone besides PPA when asking for Affiliation in order to award merits to attendees of their workshops.
Some instructors who teach workshops do not even belong to a local guild.
I told the couple to deal directly with PPA in getting their workshops affiliated and ignore the rest. They've already filled out the paperwork and are awaiting response.
Do I have this all wrong?

The West Virginia company Ballard's Farm Sausage, is recalling its egg salad in Kentucky and 16 other states.

It also can cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
The contaminated egg salad was sold under Ballards, Food City, and Valu Time brands. They all have a best used by date of November 7th.

Guido: Super Bowl-Big 33 streak stays alive
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Super Bowl-Big 33 connection continues as the big game approaches the half-century mark.
All 48 Super Bowls have contained at least one player who played in the Big 33 game.
This time around, Seahawks defensive lineman Jordan Hill is helping to keep the streak alive.
Hill played in the 2009 Big 33 game after starring on Steelton-Highspire's 2008 PIAA Class A title team that defeated Clairton.
The Seahawks drafted Hill after a successful career at Penn State.
On injured reserve for Denver is Dan Koepen, a graduate of Whitehall who played in the 1998 Big 33 game.
The Big 33, which dates to 1957, is an annual all-star game that features outstanding seniors from the previous high school football season in various formats.
The game features Pennsylvania against Maryland.
This year's game is June 14 at Hersheypark Stadium.
Some local players also have sustained the Big 33-Super Bowl connection.
Among them is Freeport's Eric Ravotti, a member of the Steelers in Super Bowl XXX.
The late Mitch Frerotte of Kittanning played in three Super Bowls, all with the Bills.
Denver's roster includes two past members from Ohio Big 33 teams. Steve Vallos played in the 2008 game and Zac Dysert played in '02.
Ex-Ford City coach dies
One-time Ford City boys basketball coach H. Mark Fruehan died last weekend.
Fruehan took over the program in 1970 and led the Sabers to a section title in 1971 and runner-up finishes in the WPIAL and the PIAA in 1979.
He was 78.
Fruehan was born in Brownsville in 1935 and graduated from Fairmont (W. Va.) State before coming to Ford City in 1960.
He took over the Alle-Kiski Valley's most decorated high school basketball program at a time when Ford City was playing in the highest enrollment classification, but found its section opponents becoming bigger schools.
"It was definitely a transition period where the schools in the section were becoming larger," said Tom Dinga, who played three years in junior high for Fruehan before adding three varsity seasons when he became head coach.
For example, New Kensington was consolidated with Arnold to form Valley, Har-Brack merged with Tarentum to form Highlands and Vandergrift joined with the former Bell-Avon and Washington Township high schools to form Kiski Area.
Fruehan's junior high teams won 53 consecutive games at one point.
"When we were getting ready for our first (varsity) section game against Valley, Mike Rice said 'We'll see how they do in section, there we no 'Elders Ridges' here,' as a way to diminish the junior high streak," said Dinga. "We beat Valley by two and won the section by two, proving the junior high streak was no fluke."
Still, Ford City played in the largest class until 1977.
It can be argued that Fruehan suffered as devastating a championship game defeat as any coach in local history.
In the 1979 WPIAL Class AA title game at the Civic Arena, Ford City was leading Midland in the waning seconds. Midland's Roosevelt Kirby tossed an off-balance shot as he was falling out of bounds at midcourt.
The shot somehow went in. Midland players were silent at first before what happened sunk in, while Ford City players fell in disbelief.
WPIAL personnel and others had to lift the players from the floor for the post-game ceremony.
Fruehan and assistant Larry Rybicki, to their credit, got the team up within a few days to begin a drive to the state playoffs, where the Sabers won four games before losing to York Catholic in the state finals.

PODCAST: China's slowing growth
Two Chinese workers prepare to remove scaffolding at a construction site in Beijing on April 15, 2014. Chinese exports and imports fell sharply in March, data showed on April 10, as officials noted that the world's second-largest economy faces headwinds from tougher regional competition and 'friction' with trade partners.
China's first quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in 2014 was 7.4 percent, the slowest China's economy has grown in a year and a half. Markets in Asia rose because of China's GDP news. Slower growth, however, could be an indication that China's leadership is serious about making tough changes to its economic model.
If you're a shrimp lover, you may be wondering why you're paying more for your favorite shrimp cocktail or Pad Thai. It's a bacterial infection ravaging shrimp farms in Southeast Asia called "early mortality syndrome" or EMS. The disease doesn't affect people, but it kills baby shrimp. The resulting shortage is causing price spikes.

The British Columbia Hockey League Board of Governors have unanimously approved the relocation application of the Burnaby Express franchise to the City of Coquitlam for the 2010/11 season. The decision was made at the league's Semi- Annual Governors meeting held in Nanaimo, B.C. on Wednesday.
"We're thrilled to be returning to Coquitlam and the newly renovated Sports Centre, where we enjoyed tremendous success in our first four years of our franchise," Express Governor Darcy Rota says.
"The City of Coquitlam staff, Mayor Richard Stewart, the Coquitlam Minor Hockey Association and the Coquitlam Adanacs Senior A Lacrosse Club, the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce and local hockey fans have all been very welcoming and enthusiastic about our potential return. Our Express ownership group is excited about the opportunities for future success in Coquitlam."
The finishing touches on the move should take place in the coming weeks as a lease is finalized between the Express ownership and the City of Coquitlam.
The Express relocated to Burnaby at the beginning of the 2005/06 season. Despite winning a National Championship in 2006 and developing future first round NHL draft pick Kyle Turris for two seasons, the franchise found it increasingly difficult to operate in Burnaby because of dwindling crowds and limited access to adjacent parking lots due to a dredging project at Burnaby Lake that began in August of 2009.
"For our five seasons in Burnaby, our ownership, staff, players and volunteers have all worked very hard to ensure a successful relationship with the City of Burnaby and community while playing at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre," says Rota. "However, it became increasingly clear that a move was in the best interests for the team's future. We would like to thank all our fans in Burnaby and we hope that they will continue to support us in the coming seasons in Coquitlam."

Hey all,
So this is my first horse and I've recently changed coaches, so I'm not really yet comfortable with my new coach, although I was going to bring this up soon with her. But hey, I like hearing opinions.
My horse is a 6 year old Andie cross. Probably considered an easy-medium keeper. Maybe?
Anyways, he's around 1300lbs and at a good weight for where he is right now. But it just seems like I feed him sooooo much more hay then anyone else at my barn does! So I'm wondering if I need to cut down a little on the hay and introduce something else, like beet pulp?
Right now he's eating about 30lbs of timothy a day, plus a ration balancer pellet. Maintaining weight well right now, but his work is fairly easy, so it'll definitely change as we increase the intensity...
Just seems like a lot of hay to me? Is that right?

3) Flip to the backside one of the 10″ x 2″ pieces of No. 6 cut in Step 2. Using a cloud stencil, outline the clouds using a score tool from the back. Sand and dust the clouds embossed on the front side.
Core Tip: When embossing cardstock using a stencil and score tool, use a rubber mat underneath the stencil. This allows you to get a deep scored image without ripping the cardstock and always score from the back so the raised image is on the front.
4) Using a paint brush, paint in the clouds with a white wet medium. I used Ranger's Snow Cap Mixative because I liked that looked like different densities in the clouds.

Today Ava Gavloski created an awesome tag that has a really masculine feel to it. I don't know about you but I could really use more of these for those last minute gifts for the men in my life!
I used the Darice Birch embossing folder to give some weathered board texture and the tearing of the Core'dination cardstock gives the feel of waves rolling to shore.
I heat embossed the balloon using my Darice heat tool. I laid down the TCW stencil and used Ferro from Viva with a putty knife on top and smoothed it over … a technique I learned from CHA! The ferro is charcoal color and I got it from Hobby Lobby. I wish computers would allow you to touch the card bc the ferro makes the card 3d almost because it dries hard. It's like a putty paste . It seriously is THE COOLEST stuff!!
Are you ready???
We have a big HUGE week schedule for you! Mark your calendars! Inspiration….prizes….STAMPING (EEEEK!), Core'dinations! What could be better??!?!!?!?
AND WE HAVE OUR VERY OWN EVENT PAGE! How cool is that? We can chat, share projects, give away stuff :0

How about a quick Chocolate Box layout from Design Team member April Derrick? Again, April used The Crafter's Workshop stencil to sand….looks fABulOuS!!!!

While the heat hits the Grand Valley, many people are trying to stay cool inside, but since the heat wave caught many off guard, not everyone has turned their swamp coolers on yet.
Handyman Jason Martin says he's getting call after call asking him to help turn on swamp coolers before local residents melt!
Martin says calls have been consistent in the past month or so, but the past week, there's been a flood of calls trying to beat the heat.
He says business is hot, swamp coolers are flowing, only problem is he's been so busy, he hasn't yet had time to turn on his own!
If you haven't turned on your swamp cooler yet, Martin has some advice:
Make sure your pump is running; if not, your cooler will blow hot air.
Change out your pads at least every two years.
To help cool down the house even faster, hose down your pads with the garden hose when you first take off the cover.
If you still need more help, you can call Jason Martin himself, at Plan A Handyman Services, (970) 985-3047.

Milan (Italy), March 30: AC Milan midfielder Kaka scored twice at his 300th appearance for Milan in the 3-0 win over Chievo at San Siro Saturday. Clarence Seedorf's men raced to lead with only four minutes into play when Mario Balotelli met Adil Rami's cross to volley home from close range. They ran rampant and mounted more attack on Chievo after the goal in an action-packed first half, Xinhua reported.
Kaka then doubled their deserved lead after 27 minutes when Keisuke Honda's wonderfully chipped ball found the Brazilian star, who produced a brilliant first touch before rolling it into the net. Nine minutes after the break, the 31-year old produced another wonder strike as he pounced on a poor defensive clearance to curl a stunning effort into the top corner of the net.
Chievo were awarded a penalty in the injury time, but Cyril Thereau's kick was denied by the crossbar on what was a difficult night for the visitors, who remain three points above the relegation zone, while handing a boost to Milan's slim hopes for European qualification. Meanwhile, Atalanta came closer to their dream for a Europa League spot with a 2-0 win at Bologna in the day's other game.
The visitors went 1-0 ahead in the 22nd mintue when Giuseppe De Luca pinched the ball from Diego Perez in midfield, before bursting into the box and slotting home for his second goal in as many games. And things got worse for Bologna just four minutes later when a well-organised Atalanta doubled their lead through a stunning 30-yard effort from Marcelo Estigarribia.
The result was Atalanta's sixth consecutive victory in the Italian Serie A and a new club record, while Bologna sit two points clear of the relegation zone, although nearest rivals Livorno could overtake them with a win over Inter Monday.

The construction defect fiasco in California led to the creation, by the specialty insurers, of the subsidence exclusion for attachment to the commercial general liability policies of homebuilders. Originally the exclusion applied only to completed operations property damage and was limited to subsidence generally caused by foundation failures. It has evolved into the contractor's worst nightmare.
Many companies have extended the subsidence exclusion into an "absolute earth movement exclusion" including earthquakes and are using it for all contractors. Most no longer limit the exclusion to either the property damage or completed operations hazard. One admitted regional insurer puts the exclusion on every policy it issues. Since the exclusionary language is so broad, it would be strictly interpreted against the finding of coverage. The courts in California have been of no help in mitigating the negative effects. (See Blackhawk Corp. v Gotham Ins. Co., 54 Cal App 4th 1090.)
This problem is no longer limited to California nor to specialty insurers. A major national insurer specializing in contractors has recently added an absolute subsidence exclusion for use in Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada. Insurers may use this endorsement wherever market conditions allow.
Why the big concern for most contractors?
· No coverage for bodily injury arising out of a trench collapse on an ongoing job.
· Possible coverage problems arising out of equipment upset.
· Any earthquake induced bodily injury or property damage is excluded.
· Subcontractors may have this exclusion on their policies.
What can you do to eliminate or mitigate the problem?
· Use a different insurer — even California has A-rated insurers with minimum exclusions.
· Request the exclusion be deleted — especially for premiums over $35K.
· Obtain separate subsidence coverage where available.
· Require your subs to disclose all exclusionary endorsements during bid
· Obtain a side letter from the insurer limiting the areas where the
exclusion applies.
Large general contractors and public entities, such as Caltrans, are becoming more and more sensitive to the use of exclusionary endorsements on policies where they are named as additional insureds. There is a requirement on both the Caltrans insurance specifications and the AGC of California standard form subcontract that exclusionary endorsements be set forth in the insurance certificates.

Will Local Crops Meet Record-Setting Expectations?
Posted By News On August 19, 2010 @ 6:29 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
A report released last week by the USDA predicts a record-setting harvest this fall for both corn and soybeans, but will that be the case for the Marion County area? Jay Van Woerkom, Agronomy Sales Manager at Two Rivers Cooperative in Pella, says while the crops are progressing well in some areas of the county, there are other acres that have been heavily impacted by soggy weather and disease.
Particularly, he says some of the soybean crop is struggling with what is known as "Sudden-Death Syndrome", along with Brown Stem Rot; adding that while the remaining soybean crop looks good, he's not sure if it will be a record harvest locally.
As for corn, Van Woerkom says this summer has been too wet for a lot of corn to properly develop. He said some fields have begun to turn yellow again because of the excess moisture and some of the ears are not developing correctly. Additionally, wet soil has led to shallow root structures, which has made it hard for the plants to absorb nitrogen and other nutrients.
Still, while Van Woerkom says there is a lot of variance in the condition of the local crops, he is hopeful that this fall will be another pleasantly surprising harvest in terms of productivity for many area farmers.

The Rotary Club of Rosemount proudly welcomed R. Scott Jenkins, this year's Tournament of Roses president, and his wife, Cindy, to its regular noon meeting on Friday, July 12.
Jenkins was in Rosemount as part of the celebration surrounding Rosemount High School's historic invitation to perform in the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year's Day 2014 and was the person who selected RHS to be one of the bands to perform in the parade. He attended a community pep rally for the band on Friday morning, then paid a visit to Rosemount Rotary for lunch.
"We are very honored that Scott Jenkins and his wife were able to join us today," said Rosemount Rotary Past President Paul Eggen. "This is a very exciting time for Rosemount High School and we are glad we can share in the moment."
RHS band director Steve Olsen and RHS principal John Wollersheim each shared enthusiastic comments about the bands selection before introducing Jenkins, who is also a Rotarian. In his speech, Jenkins shared some of the history of the Tournament of Roses, discussed the selection process and shared a video clip of the 2013 Tournament of Roses Parade.
In addition to hearing some of the facts and history surrounding the parade, the club also learned about the fundraising efforts the band is making in order to reach the parade. More information about their efforts can be found here: http://www.rosemountband.com/index.php/en/.
We congratulate RHS on their achievement and extend a special thanks to the Jenkins for visiting Rosemount Rotary!

Macharia and Cheromei victorious in Bogota
A comfortable nine second victory for Lydia Cheromei in Bogota (Victah Sailer) © Copyright
The Bogota International Half Marathon is an IAAF Gold Label Road Race.
Macharia Wins Again
In the men's race a talked about duel between Macharia and the year's fastest half marathoner Patrick Makau never materialized. Makau showed up in Bogota with an injured left knee and from the gun he was never a factor.
Instead, it started off as a three-man race with Macharia, sub-one hour half marathoner Wilson Chebet and late entry Patrick Nthlwa forming a small pack at 5K. At 7K Nthlwa was off the pace and Macharia squared off with Chebet.
The two ran side by side through the middle miles of the race past thick crowds on a clear temperate day. Chebet had broken on hour at the Ras Al Khaimah half marathon earlier this year and that made him a serious contender to Macharia's crown.
Yet that fact didn't seem to bother Macharia. The recent economics graduate of Nairobi University simply bided his time until the 14th kilometre. There, a bride forms the only hill on the course and it was there that Macharia made his move—again. It is where he has won Bogota Half Marathons before. "It is my place to go," he said with a smile after the race.
The move gapped Chebet instantly and Chebet couldn't recover. "This is my first time running this race and when Isaac went I was feeling the altitude," he said. Bogota is run at an elevation of 2600 metres.
Macharia crossed in 1:02:49 and Chebet followed in 103:14. Nthlwa held on for third in 1:04:52.
Cheromei dominates
The women's elite race was highlighted by a special start, five minutes ahead of the rest of the field. Kenya's Cheromei wasted no time taking advantage of the open concrete, surging at 3K to break up a small pack.
Behind her was defending champion Pamela Chepchumba, Mexico's Maria Dulce Rodriguez, Ethiopia's Genet Getaneh and Catherine Ndereba.
Ndereba came to Bogota with high hopes of repeating her win from 2006 but early on you could tell that it wasn't her day. Soon after Cheromei's surge it was Ndereba, the two-time IAAF World Marathon Champion, who dropped off the pace. She was never again a factor. "It was tough," she said. "After a while I just wanted to pace myself."
Up front Cheromei reached 5K in 16:05. Ten meters back Rodriguez was gamely giving chase. The Mexican stayed in contact as Cheromei went through 8K (26:10) and 10K (33:10) before drifting back.
Then it was just a matter of Cheromei and the rest of the Bogota race course. Her head bobbed with the effort but she stayed smooth and controlled to the finish in 1:12:29. "The race was very tough," she said. "I am happy to be the winner."
Behind her Rodriguez closed a bit but was still 11 seconds back (1:12:38). Chepchumba (1:14:18) never looked on form and she had to be carried from the finish in a stretcher. "I didn't train well," she said. "I didn't train at altitude."
More than 45,000 runners in a combined half marathon 10K toured Bogota to finish in Simon Bolivar Park.

|Stroke order
Simplified in the Heian period from the man'yōgana kanji 奈.
ナ (Hepburn romanization na)
- The katakana syllable ナ (na), whose equivalent in hiragana is な (na). It is the twenty-first syllable of the gojūon order, and its position in gojūon tables is ナ行ア段 (NA-gyō, A-dan; "row NA, section A").
Usage notesEdit
Unlike the hiragana system, used for Japanese language words that kanji does not cover, the katakana syllabary is used primarily for transcription of foreign language words into Japanese and the writing of loan words (collectively gairaigo), as well as to represent onomatopoeia, technical and scientific terms, and the names of plants, animals, and minerals. Names of Japanese companies, as well as certain Japanese language words, are also written in katakana rather than the other systems.[edit]

West Seattle Tuesday: Election Day; Earth Day; Spa Day; Sealth PTSA; Block Watch Captains' Network…April 22, 2014 at 11:09 am | In West Seattle news, WS miscellaneous | 1 Comment
One thing that might be on your agenda today – whale watching! Carolyn Newman got that photo this morning (and also got the visitors on camera Monday). Thanks to everybody who's called and texted – we've been sharing updates here as well as on Twitter and on Facebook. Meantime, other highlights for today/tonight:
BALLOT DROP-OFF VAN UNTIL 8 PM: It's Election Day, which really means "ballot-dropoff-or-mailing deadline day." No stamp needed IF you use a King County Elections dropoff box or van; our area has two of the latter until 8 pm tonight – West Seattle Stadium (enter off northbound 35th just south of Avalon Way) or Greenbridge (east side of 8th SW just south of SW Roxbury). We should get one round of results tonight around 8:15-8:30, and we'll publish them here on WSB as soon as they're available.
EARTH DAY/WEEK AT FLEURT: Today through Sunday (April 27th), Fleurt (WSB sponsor) in The Junction celebrates Earth Day/Week by offering you an incentive to recycle a vase/container – for every donated vase/container turned in, Fleurt will give you a mini-plant! (4536 California SW)
SPA DAY AT THE SENIOR CENTER: 2-7 pm, one admission price gets you up to five spa services (or you can buy a la carte) during this special event at the Senior Center of West Seattle (WSB sponsor) – details on the center's home page. (California/Oregon)
CHIEF SEALTH INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL PTSA, DIFFERENT LOCATION: 7 pm, the Chief Sealth IHS PTSA meets NOT at the school, but this time, at Neighborhood House's High Point Center. From president Ted Reed:
For the first time, the PTSA at Chief Sealth Int'l High School is going mobile with its general meeting. It will be held at the High Point Neighborhood House. Come hear Principal Aida Fraser-Hammer discuss the process of bringing the school budget to completion. As an initial proposal from the school district – to its final version approved by the teaching staff – the Chief Sealth annual budget is a work-in-progress throughout the year. She will also detail the budget for the upcoming school year. We're also proud to have Marty McLaren, Seattle School Board Director, presenting the latest news from the district. She will discuss the State Court's decision to "fully" fund education in the State. If there is an eventual windfall from the State, does have the District have a plan for its use? Priorities?
(6400 Sylvan Way)
WEST SEATTLE BLOCK WATCH CAPTAINS NETWORK: 6:30 pm at Southwest Precinct, with tonight's special topic, SPD's online information, what's helpful, what would be more helpful, what's in the works. (Delridge/Webster)
NIGHTLIFE: Jazz, blues, trivia, karaoke, singer/songwriter showcase – see the listings on the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar. (Mouse over the right side of any line on the calendar and click the "plus sign" to open it for more information.)
