That's not something you spark interest in by not running to win a significant portion of the vote. That's something you spark interest in by stealing enough votes from both major parties to get them below fifty percent apiece.

+rep. The Fed/Gov is so $#@!ed it's not possible to right it. In the 10 yrs. I've been on this forum we've managed to help get perhaps a handful of liberty representatives. We don't have another 100 yrs. before it comes crashing down. Beans, bullion, bullets and local ballots.
Agreed. + rep OP island neighbor, who I still have yet to meet.
Know your neighbors, anticipate their strengths & weaknesses.
The more that people's resources are squeezed, the more things become obvious locally, and the better to capitalize.
Local politics matters greatly, right now.
Witness Jen Ruggles, emerging to challenge Danny Paleka for Puna district county council seat. She is capitalizing on the local corruption brought to light (again). The tighter things get, the more people pay attention. Hawaii IS corruption, has been for a long time, so what changed? The peasant's conditions, as far as I can tell. Some, who are not connected to power, are not so willing to look the other way these days.
Does Jen have it all together? No way. She is not yet consistent with the concept of "consent" (services we can't opt out of), but she has previously mentioned peace, and that tells me she may be open to learning the peace benefits of aloha, rather than always going to government force.
This is painful to watch, but it's Puna's current county council political reality. I offer it simply as an incentive to explore your own local area, to see what you're up against, and to think about a tailored message for your neighbors. Some of the local powers that be, have become incredibly lazy with their messaging (Paleka), and have left themselves vulnerable. Tell me there isn't opportunity, after listening to this disjointed candidate "forum". lol
Do you smell the fear wafting from Danny? I sure do. If he was truly "pono for Puna", he'd wouldn't know fear. His "pono" moniker (righteousness, righteous idea) isn't consistent with his use of government force to implement his agenda. I'll be attempting to remind locals about the inconsistencies of the local rulers, every time those rulers make the mistake of whipping out "aloha" to promote government force. They whip it out EVERY time.
Interesting times, a spooked herd, some spooked rulers (leaders are rare), and more and more opportunity every passing day. SWOOP! SWOOP!
What about the Liberty of the State movement?
Usually when a movement's steam is running out, it is because it is no longer addressing the needs it should be. In short, the liberty movement has allowed itself to stagnate while "alt-right" have taken our ideas of banks, foreign policy, monetary policies, and etc and are running with them by picking up and talking about points we either refuse to address, to controversial for us to break down, or feel to unimportant to our ideals.
They aren't afraid of being edgy, controversial, and aggressive. This is why I myself barely come to ronpaulforums for news anymore. This and Daily Paul used to be THEE place for news shills wanted to keep from going public.
I've been concerned about this since Dr. Paul hasn't been in the spotlight as much the last few years. His message was so compelling, so well articulated and with so much credibility, particularly on monetrary policy/economics, the drug war and foreign policy, I don't know who else can take the liberty movement to the next level. I do view this year as a golden opportunity, but Weld has the potential to screw it up and it can be tough to overlook Johnson on religious liberty and discrimination. But he's at least started promoting the NAP a bit and he's a big step in the right direction compared to the GOP, Dems, Trump ect. on foreign policy/intervention, free markets, the drug war, taxes, term limits ect. But I hope some newcomers/converts recognize the difference between libertarianism and The Libertarian Party. Ron Paul's campaigns were so great because they coincided with some excellent books he authored, which thankfully included some suggested reading as well so I was able to discover great books like Rothbard's America's Great Depression for instance and learn about the Austrian Business Cycle theory. Sadly, I doubt we'll be seeing the ABCT from Johnson and this certainly isn't inspiring time in the liberty movement like 2007-2012 nor is this a campaign about education like Dr. Paul's 3 campaigns, but it remains a good opportunity so I'm excited about that nonetheless. I have to say that I disagree about McAfee too. I'm happy he didn't get the nomination because he would have done us no favors expanding the movement and just added to the misconception that libertarians are weird, crazy ect. Peteresen definitely had his strengths, particularly a better understanding of libertarianism than Johnson(except for his views on the NAP) and the right idea reaching out to conservatives, though I wasn't sure how many were going to take him seriously considering he looks like a kid and has never held any political office. On the bright side, at least Gary is doing one thing Austin wouldn't, which is promote the NAP. Really, the best hope for the future is Amash as far as I can see. He really is excellent, imo and a breath of fresh air, but he's not that well known yet.
Johnson was and is the weakest Libertarian because he just does not "get it", he does not pull the whole picture together with Liberty being the answer. McAfee got it, Petersen got it, Ron for sure got it. Johnson and his socially liberal, fiscally conservative best of the democrats and republicans campaign won't do us any favors unless we think Bernie supporters are going to learn real Liberty principles from him(they won't) and remain a part of a future coalition. I can only dream, but McAfee would be making waves right now dropping truth bombs, some might call it crazy, I call it common sense. knowing that he is not educated in Libertarian scholars, I was even more impressed with McAfee because he got it on a gut level, making the right calls on principles and values. He was a breath of fresh air during the debates, fun yet right, Johnson is a philosophical mess and completely uninspiring.
I'm of the view that we'd do better to get back to the more meaningful fundamental things. That's just me talking, though. Some may and likely will disagree.
The "Liberty Movement" as I see it has pretty much gone underground. Almost everyone I talk to wants something along the lines of true liberty but they are ignorant as to what liberty is. When explained in simple terms most agree that it's what they desire but then the mind-fuk conditioning by the media comes in and they are hung up on things like roads, gun control, and their favorite welfare program (social or military).
TPTB have full control of the brain washing apparatus and it's hard to break that conditioning...
That is why we all have to become something similar in terms of beacons of truth and examples to those around us. I do what I can daily, but one man can do only so much, even if he is Ron Paul.
One of my methods is to open carry everywhere I go. I even go to the bank armed. Other than two incidents, the response of my fellow West Virginians has been overwhelmingly positive. People need to see "liberty behavior" and not just hear the words. I can barely overemphasize how important this is. If you live in a hell hole like NY/NJ/CA/IL/HI/OH/RI/MA/CT, wear an empty holster and do it defiantly. If the people around you freak out, tough $#@!. If the cops give you $#@!, fear not. This is a comparatively small price to pay, IMO.
The land is in grave jeopardy. Do what you can before it is too late.
I've suggested three basic approaches going forward to advance liberty, both nationally and locally:
1) Run candidates with a Ron Paul like mind, and a William Wallace like alpha vibe. Much of the public has to be reached by means other than reason, as they are turned off by the 'brainiac' form of libertarianism we usually lead with. A charismatic, libertarian populist candidate who presents as a rousing "libertarian of the heart," while retaining the core liberty ideas, can do better at reaching the masses. McAfee was one possibility, though he had an iffy background with the law and lack of preparation that limited his appeal. Other examples may include Kurt Russell, Adam Kokesh, Alex Jones, etc.
2) Run liberty candidates who will also engage the voting blocs needed to build winning coalitions, and will aggressively fight the establishment barriers to liberty. This is the fundamental lesson learned from the last three election cycles, and cannot be sidestepped. A candidate who only satisfies the 5% liberty core, or can even grow the base towards 10% as Ron Paul did, does not get us to the 51% needed to win primaries and elections. If running within the GOP universe the candidates need to appeal to socons, tea partiers, or disaffected anti-establishment dynamics of the party. That means speaking to their issues and concerns from a liberty perspective, not just barking our issues at them. The candidates also need to be able to figure out how to "disable the tractor beam" of the media and leadership that constantly tries to marginalize liberty, or PC shame it into conformity.
3) Pursue a Bi-partisan Open Seat Strategy (BOSS) to get more liberty candidates elected locally. Most seats are in areas that are not competitive for the purposes of liberty candidates winning the election, that is, they are dominated by GOP or Dem hacks who win with above 55+% of the vote. Recognizing that 95% of seats are gerrymandered to support Republican or Democrat (statist) incumbents, we should focus instead on running in a primary or special election where the incumbent is retiring, passed away, or removed by scandal. Run on a liberty platform to win the nomination of the dominant party in the district or area (if it's a deeply Democratic district, run a Ron Paul Democrat, or if Republican, run a Ron Paul Republican).
Field for suitable candidates using the local CFL/RP/liberty meetups and mailing lists, or from the local LP. Upon winning the primary for the vacated seat, the liberty candidate then has the inside track to win the election. An example of how this results in victory is the Michael Bentivolio case in Michigan (a RP supporter who won a house seat by being the only GOP candidate in the primary when the incumbent Republican retired). The BOSS approach should thus create higher percentage opportunities for liberty people to win seats, regardless of which major party way the district rolls.
Unfortunately, I live in New York, where the second amendment has been consistently violated. My father who has had virtually no run ins with LE throughout his six and a half decades wasn't even able to get a permit in NYC. Only when we moved to Long Island was he able to, and only able to go to and from the range. While we all know what the purpose of the 2nd amendment is, on a side note, an incident that showed the insanity of NY's gun laws is when 2 men tried to carjack him, but fortunately he happened to be coming from the range so he had his .44 Colt Anaconda on him. If he had been coming from anywhere else, though, who knows what would have happened? And NY's oppressive, unconstitutional gun laws would have been to blame. The other side of the spectrum is what I saw living in East New York, Brooklyn, and to a lesser extent, Bed-Stuy. I can think of one guy in particular on my block who loved waving around his AK-47, and obviously, this guy didn't have this legally. On my old block in East NY, gun shots were pretty much the norm when the sun started to set a bit in the summer, around 8-9 PM and later or with it pitch black in the winter, sometimes during earlier evening, and walking around those streets unarmed with gun shots going off feels like you're "naked." New York's gun laws are downright horrible. Of course, we also had the unconstitutional stop and frisk too, and not just for minorities either. I use to get it in Brooklyn primarily because I was a white guy in a black neighborhood, even just walking 3 blocks to the subway during the middle of the day, or standing 10 feet from my building smoking a cigarette, "we're looking for someone matching your description" ect. My experience in NYC, especially seeing my father and uncle trying to get work in carpentry and construction showed me how awful, oppressive and corrupt our unions are even before I became a libertarian. Man, does New York badly need the liberty movement.
I try to do my part, particularly talking to people about the Fed and how it's the biggest problem we have and the cause or related to virtually every other problem. How our money is worthless paper, counterfeit ect. I try to explain the ABCT when I can, or point out how the New Deal was an unprecedented failure compared to other depressions and how the welfare state and FDR's legacy are built on a myth. How we don't have anything close to a free market and haven't had a limited government president since Coolidge. I've tried to use analogies for the government's behavior and before telling them I'm referring to the Federal Government, I get people thinking I'm referring to the mafia or something. I try to remind people taxation is extortion and I encourage people to work off the books.
I do like your idea about the empty holster. As you know, I could never get away with open carry here, but I'm going to consider that.
Every time I'm in the city, I wear an empty holster. Last time was on 9/11/10. There were thousands of cops everywhere and I was pretty sure I was going to go to jail that day. To my utter amazement, not one cop said a word to me about it. The only response I got was from a Puerto Rican woman on the subway who looked like she was about to start screaming as she attempted to press her own body through the wall of the car in her frantic desire to escape the presence of the Eville Holster (tm).
Oddly, I went to the Starbuck's on Spring St. with my friend Jake and to my wild amazement there was another guy there with an empty shoulder-rig. I actually got up from our table and walked over to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. I said nothing to him and he apparently took no notice of me. It was very strange... in a nice sort of way.
All I can say is be a little careful. You know how city cops can be. Corrupt as the day is long at the poles and at times touchy. So use some discretion. Otherwise, I say have at it.
Did you know that 30 years ago residents of Suffolk and/or Nassau counties could carry with no permits? Used to work at Princeton Skate & Ski on Northern Blvd (now gone) and people used to some in with pistols on their hips often.

Bottom Line: Corel continues to offer one of the most feature-packed consumer video editing packages around. Support for 360-degree VR content, masking, and time-remapping debut in the latest version.
Bottom Line: Premiere Elements is an easy-to-use video editor with lots of effects and guidance, but it trails some of the competition in speed, flexibility, and support for new content types.
Bottom Line: PowerDirector is the fastest and most capable consumer-level video editing software for Windows around, and it's the first to support 360-degree VR footage.
Bottom Line: Apple's professional-level video editing software, Final Cut Pro X, brings a wealth of power in an interface simple for pros and consumers alike. Version 10.3 adds deep integration with the MacBook Pro Touch Bar.
Bottom Line: Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum is an advanced video editing application with lots of effects, but its interface is confusing, it lacks organizational features found in the competition, and it's slow at rendering video projects.
Bottom Line: Nero Video 2016 is a $50 video editing program with plenty of effects and solid file-type support, just don't expect fast rendering or all the tools found in competing products.
Bottom Line: Magix Movie Edit Pro 2016 Plus is loaded with effects and supports 4K, 360-degree content, and multi-cam editing. The software's render speeds have improved, but it's not as pleasant to use as the best of the video editing competition.
Bottom Line: Apple's entry-level desktop video editing application can turn your footage and photos into impressive productions. And now it supports 4K video.

About the Property
Condo, 1 Bedroom + Bunk Area, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4-6), Unit 303, 4th level
Not only are the broad white sandy beaches and emerald green waters breathtaking, there are so many amenities that you may have to extend your stay to use them all. If you are interested in fishing in the Gulf, step out on the beach for surf fishing or go across the street for a group or private charter.
Tidewater features a large outdoor pool, an indoor heated pool, a hot tub, a fitness center facing the Gulf, a sauna, and a grilling/picnic area.
We offer a beautifully decorated 1 bedroom, 1 bath unit. with 9 foot ceilings which, of course, has a direct Gulf Front 175 degree view (see photo). We are on the 3rd floor. There is plenty of space between condos in this upscale area of Orange Beach. This third floor (actually 4 stories up) unit has the feel of an elegant Caribbean beach cottage. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with a new mattress and the living room has a queen-size sofa sleeper also with pillow top added.
HOW DO YOU DETERMINE A GREAT CONDO? CHECK OUT THE UNIT'S REVIEWS. SEE WHAT GUESTS SAY. As a recent guest told us on the phone, "there is much to say about dealing directly with the owner who really cares about their condo and their guests".
An added extra is a bunk area with 2 bunk beds perfect for the children and we get reports from guests that the children are crazy about the bunks. This condo comfortably sleeps up to four adults and 2 children guests. There is a fully equipped kitchen with a full size washer and dryer in a utility closet.
Tidewater Condominiums are located in the heart of Orange Beach just minutes from Gulf Shores and Perdido Key. It is located 1/2 mile from the Perdido Pass Bridge. Largest marina in Orange beach with two eateries directly across the street.
Also close by are exceptional golf courses, fishing, and of course, fantastic shopping. Be sure to check out the links mentioned for golf information. This condo will truly make a wonderful vacation destination for a family or a romantic get-away for a couple.
During the spring & summer and early fall, from the balcony, watching the moon come up over the Gulf is breathtaking. During the fall and winter, the sunrises and sunsets are very beautiful. Coffee on the balcony at 7:00 AM makes the trip worthwhile. You will never forget the sight.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: We are Kathy and Andy Schaus of Little Rock, Arkansas. We stay at our condos 3-5 times a year doing maintenance, some shopping, some fishing and just sitting on the beach and always having coffee early morning on the balcony watching the ocean.
Why the Owner Chose Orange Beach, AL, USA:
Tidewater is one of the smaller condo complexes so short wait for elevators and never a crowded pool outdoors and plenty of room on the beach. We also like the elbow room between condos at Tidewater. Staff and security are very friendly. We had to have an indoor heated swimming pool as we normally go in the off-season. Quote from a recent guest: 'The building was extremely clean and well-kept. There was absolutely no problem with noise, and the property was well supervised.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Our condo association has a keen interest in making Tidewater a clean and safe property. Owners have pride. Say 'hi' to Kenya and Rick from our maintenance staff. As owners, sand in the condo can be very upsetting and plug drains. There are two high pressure fresh water hoses near the entry gate back to the condo which washes off the sand from feet and toys you may take to the beach.

The justices' action means the state is free to impose the voter ID requirement in future elections, and is further evidence that the court put the law on hold last year only because the election was close at hand and absentee ballots already had been mailed with no notification of the need to present photo IDs. The court did not comment on its order. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...rns-away-challenge-to-wisconsin-voter-id-law/

Understanding and Reducing Persistent Poverty in Africa by Christopher Barrett
Book DescriptionPrior work has shown that there is a significant amount of turnover amongst the African poor as households exit and enter poverty. Some of this mobility can be attributed to regular movement back and forth in response to exogenous variability in climate, prices, health, etc. ('churning'). Other crossings of the poverty line reflect permanent shifts in long-term well-being associated with gains or losses of productive assets or permanent changes in asset productivity due, for example, to adoption of improved technologies or access to new, higher-value markets. Distinguishing true structural mobility from simple churning is important because it clarifies the factors that facilitate such important structural change. Conversely, it also helps identify the constraints that may leave other households caught in a trap of persistent, structural poverty. The papers in this book help to distinguish the types of poverty and to deepen understanding of the structural features and constraints that create poverty traps. Such an understanding allows communities, local governments and donors to take proactive, effective steps to combat persistent poverty in Africa. This book was previously published as a special issue of the Journal of Development Studies.

You've got to love the stupidity of major labels.
At a time when it's impossible for any band to sell a lot of records without being either boy-band cute or Limp Bizkit-styled sportsmetal, Sony's gone on a signing spree and grabbed piles of bands that are neither cute nor heavy. Take Modest Mouse, for example. Ain't NO way that band's stuff is getting on Total Request Live anytime soon.
Ultimate Fakebook
Electric Kissing Parties
Ultimate Fakebook is another example. The band plays power-pop that would've sold in 1994, not Y2K. But now U.F.'s on a major, which means that even though Sony probably won't sell more than 50,000 copies of the band's next album, Ultimate Fakebook will get to tour the country on Sony's tab, which means I won't have to fly all the way to the band's hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, to catch it live.
Ultimate Fakebook's major-label debut hits stores this summer, so in the meantime Noisome Records has started flooding the market with Fakebook's debut album, Electric Kissing Parties. Released in late '97, the album's only started to garner serious attention in the last year or so, as Fakebook's become something of a buzz band in indie circles. And one listen to Kissing Parties makes the reason for the recent buzz obvious—Ultimate Fakebook is one of the best true rock bands on the planet.
If Weezer never records an album, it won't make a difference, because Fakebook fills its void perfectly. While there are a zillion Weezer wannabes out there today, Ultimate Fakebook simply references and doesn't rip off, swiping Rivers Coumo's jaded take on girls but mixing it with punchier songs and meatier hooks that turn Electric Kissing Parties into an anthem-filled gem. Fakebook leader Bill McShane writes textbook pop, but his lyrics occasionally turn into razor-sharp attacks on loves lost that give Kissing Parties a bitter feel despite the sugar-coated pop songs over which they're sung. McShane snaps like a dog backed into a corner on "Liferaft Halo," while the pessimism he shows singing "Unless you want to, don't answer" on "Roll (Electric Kissing Parties pt. 1)" would've fit perfectly on Weezer's Pinkerton. Pinkerton is called to mind a lot, as the guitars on Kissing Parties have the same roar as the ones on "Getchoo" from that album. But again, Ultimate Fakebook doesn't sound derivative, merely referencing a great rock band as it crafts a great rock album of its own.
With Ultimate Fakebook's Sony debut on the way sometime this summer, it'd be easy to pass on Electric Kissing Parties and wait for the next album. But Kissing Parties is such a great rock record that it'd be pointless to hold off—after hearing the Sony album you're bound to want to go back and get Kissing Parties anyway. And in the meantime, go catch Ultimate Fakebook live on its Sony-funded tour, since you likely won't be catching it on Total Request Live anytime soon—because major label contract or not, great rock bands just don't have a prayer of getting the airplay they deserve if they're not cute or obnoxiously loud.

I used to look after a little boy who would sing "the ants go marching one by one- RAAA! RAAA!". He was very disappointed when he saw real ants and they weren't giant monsters.
There's a spanish line in the Clash song Spanish Bombs which I've always sung as "oh my coloured thong" I just googled it and it's really "oh ma corazón" I've been trying to google a translation but can't find one.
and finally, the Macy Gray song "I try"- I always heard "I wore goggles when you are not there" when she sings "my world crumbles when you are not there"
My sister used to sing "i can see clearly now the rain is gone, i can see all testicles in my way" instead of obstacles.
one of the only times i remember my mum getting angry. oh boy did she get in trouble!
SuperGranny (19-05-2015)
When I was a kid I used to think 'Electric Blue' was 'Electric Poo'. No wonder Mum kept playing it and laughing at me :-/
I thought cheap wine said "cheap wine & a free leather coat"
Makes more sense to me
And another misheard:
"Let me go on, I've got a twister in this song!"
I always thought that Brittany spears song with the line "show me how you want it to be..." Was "show me how you wanna do me..."
I always thought it was so cras for a singer who appeals mainly to underage teens!
ohhh .. how appropriate since I have a song miss quote stuck in my head at the moment (DH is playing me 80's tunes to get it out lol)
"Sweet Nothings" by Calvin Harris (quite a new song)
His line: "When you're giving me such sweet nothing"
My line: "You're giving me sexy elephants"
Listen to the song and exchange all of his 'such sweet nothings' for 'sexy elephants' ..... you'll never sing along to it the way it's intended again
BTW ... I actually cannot stand the song
DH used to sing 'take me to the plaza bar..' Instead of 'take me to the clouds above (that dance tune which I have no idea who sings it)
I used to think lyrics were 'I'm your p3nis, I'm your fire, your desire' I stead of 'I'm your Venus...'
I have more but can't think of them now
My friend thought that 90's song 'How Bizarre' was "how was I? How was I?" instead of "how bizarre, how bizarre".
I used to think that song 'Bette Davis Eyes' was "she's got better days her size". WTF?!

Goldfinger will always call to mind Shirley Bassey's assertive vocal on the soundtrack of the James Bond film of the same name. Written by John Barry, Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, it became the definitive in-your-face Bond song before the series' theme tunes became quieter and more pop-oriented.
