Alright, does anybody know how the current battle mechanics work or are supposed to work? From what I have seen and experienced, the game heavily favors an invading army. Most recently, my civilization was invaded. We started off about equal, they had maybe 20 more points than we did starting off. I switched to a fortify position on my troops for a round in order to prevent them from dealing too much damage. Then switched to Heroic stances during the first round of combat thinking there were not many troops killed so we should have a turn. Well, the opposing army got an extra attack. I figured it was OK since they invaded. My civilization got to attack after 3 rounds of them destroying my troops, when they did not outnumber us by much to start with. Well, later rounds I ordered a retreat since the opposing army was getting 12 and 13 attacks with no sign of letting up even though we still had over half the points left. Their point total was around 550 and ours was about 285.
Any ideas on how the battle mechanics work? I enjoy CivWorld, but don't know if it is worth it when battle mechanics seem so unbalanced.

Finding favour in oil benchmark battle
Malaysia's Petronas, Delta Air Lines adopt Brent for hedging; ICE Brent volumes cut NYMEX WTI advantage in past few weeks; Goldman Sachs says switch to Brent is "smart" for investors
April 11, 2011 12:39 by Reuters
In the past 20 days, daily turnover in NYMEX crude futures exceeded that of ICE Brent futures by about 165,000 lots, the lowest figure since 2006. On Tuesday, ICE Brent traded more than NYMEX for only the ninth time since 2004, according to Reuters data from the exchanges.
If more Asian producers opt to swap the region's current benchmarks — mostly viewed as dysfunctional — for Brent, the balance in the war for benchmark supremacy could swing more in ICE's favour. "It seems to be part of a trend," said Mike Wittner, Americas head of commodities research at Societe Generale.
"More and more physical oil market participants, whether they are producers, consumers or refiners, are looking at Brent as perhaps more appropriate to manage their risk."
Two-tiered market
It is too early to say whether volumes have been permanently sapped from WTI. In January and February, as global traders hit the panic button over unrest and war in Libya, WTI had some of its best days ever, several times exceeding Brent volume by more than 500,000 lots. But that changed dramatically as the quarter wound down.
"We have seen Brent volumes surge in the past and even exceed WTI from time to time, only to slip back again," said Olivier Jakob, managing director of consultants Petromatrix in Zug, Switzerland.

People can learn to run DA/SA just fine, but for a defensive carry gun, I think simple is better. K.I.S.S.
That said, lot's of happy Sig owners around.

It has been a busy Few weeks with Batteries. Not to mention the large 2200 lbs AGM absolute from GNB we installed recently.
Battery Testing
The operating Room back up systems. We required to discharge 4 batteries and stress
test to verify that the units will handle the load as designed.
We found that 1 was bad to start with and second was not able to handle the load past 30 min and 2 past properly.
These AGM Rocket batteries are 130 LBS at an 12 volt battery.
The customer requires a letter that the units passed a certain test standard basted
on the combination of load and discharge.
Inverter testing was performed on the charge rate on Bulk, Absorbsion and Float, Transfer switch, transfer modes,
Wire connections and corrosion areas.
Inverter Panel Layout
The inverter sub panel was inspected and all breakers tested and reset and all receptacles that are color coded
in the operating room reviewed to make sure they match.
One was found to have a red cover and was not a backup receptacle.
We have also been asked to quote on a Natural gas generator install
at this location as the 2 operating rooms and recovery room do require
more than the Emergency backup supply will carry.
New requirements are in place to have this process and review of capacity annually.
We have been asked to perform this every year going forward. Once we have this fully done and reviewed.
I inspected a solar installation and advised on all the non compliant installation items.
I also checked his batteries and he had 16 AGM 12 volt all into a 48 volt bank.
Turned out 15 terminal screws were loose. 5 batteries poor or discharged and 2 failed.
As a third spot today I had a large AGM 24 volt battery at a Goat farm.
He complained of the power failing and the voltage changing quickly up and down.
I load tested each cell to find one bad cell.
We have to locate one of these within days as I temporarily bypassed one cell and now only run on 11 cells.
This process if acceptable for a short charge cycle and a discharge before
charging again and not to overcharge the other remaining cells as there
is no place to put this once it charges each cell.
This is a good part of our service work and our customers
are extremely pleased with this service and our competencies.

By M.D. Kittle | Wisconsin Reporter
MADISON – The combined assets of U.S. state-administered public pension systems are approaching the Gross Domestic Product of the United Kingdom – cost of the Olympics not included.
And potential liabilities of the financially troubled system is nearly that of the GDPs of Russia and Canada combined.
The 222 state-administered defined benefit retirement plans totaled $2.5 trillion in cash and investment holdings in 2011, a 14.6 percent increase from $2.2 trillion in 2010, according to new statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau.
By comparison, the United Kingdom posted $2.417 trillion in nominal gross domestic product in 2011, the sixth largest GDP in the world, depending on measurement. Add at least another $37 billion to the jolly U.K.'s output this year , the cost, Sky Sports estimates, of London hosting the Olympics.
The Wisconsin Retirement System, covering more than a half million former and current employees, boasts about $80 billion in assets.
WRS is regarded by many pension watchers, particularly its administrators, as among the stronger – if not the strongest — public pension system in the country.
A Pew Center on the States Study found Wisconsin in 2010 was the only state with a fully funded public employee retirement system, in a universe of hefty pension debt. The study noted a combined $1.38 trillion in public pension unfunded liabilities nationwide.
Michael Williamson, new executive director of the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, or SWIB, recently told the Wisconsin State Journal that Wisconsin's pension system requires "shared risk, consistent contributions by state and public employees, and solid investment returns."
The problem is "solid investment returns" have been hard for retirement systems to come by, including Wisconsin's vaunted trust funds, in the heat and aftermath of the Great Recession.
WRS investments have fallen well behind expectations.
Preliminary figures show the core investment fund returned just 1.4 percent over the fiscal year ending June 30. WRS assumed its investments would earn 7.2 percent.
Over the same time, the S&P 500 returned 3.14 percent.
Even the fund's more recent gains — investments earned 5.9 percent in the half year from Jan. 1 to June 30 — wasn't enough to make up for the first six months of the fiscal year.
Nationally, earnings on investments for state public pensions funds topped $410.6 billion, up from $291.1 billion in 2010, according to the Census.
Falling behind can cost the system billions of dollars, putting pressure on the funds to fill the gap to ensure mandated payouts. Over time, taxpayers could have to make up the difference.
Pension obligations increased 3.7 percent, from $3.3 trillion in 2010 to $3.4 trillion in 2011, according to the Census.
Pension experts argue liabilities measured by state pension funds, Pew, the Census, and others only hit the tip of the iceberg in unfunded liabilities.
Andrew Biggs, economist at the Washington, D.C.-based free market think tank American Enterprise Institute, estimates that real state-administered pension liabilities are in the neighborhood of $4 trillion – as much as $6.5 trillion when adding in local retirement systems.
Biggs and others pension-reform advocates have called for setting returns in line with the market values used by the private sector and governments elsewhere, what Biggs argues is the more realistic corporate bond rate of around 3 percent in valuing liabilities.
Moody's Investors Service, the global credit rating agency, agrees, recently noting that it is changing how it rates pensions.
"Pension liabilities are widely acknowledged to be understated," Moody's managing director Timothy Blake said in a statement. "Our proposed adjustments will improve the comparability and transparency of pension information across governments, enhancing our approach to rating state and local government debt."
The changes could mean that Wisconsin Retirement System is underfunded by nearly $30 billion – and that could ultimately drag on government bond ratings.
Biggs said Public-sector pensions could be the nation's next financial bubble, akin to the housing market collapse.
"(Governments) are making the same kind of errors people made regarding housing," he said. Conventional wisdom in the late 1990s said housing prices would keep rising, even as the experts turned a blind eye to some troubling and untenable investment trends, Biggs said. That wisdom proved faulty — the bubble burst and the world has felt the repercussions in a crippling recession.
The more troubling comparison may be unfunded liability compared to U.S. GDP, at $15.075 billion in 2011.
At market value, the pension funding shortfall represents about a third of U.S. output.
Other news and notes from the Census report:
- Total revenue increased 32.8 percent, to $516.5 billion in 2011. The increase was driven by the rise of earnings on investments, which showed gains of $410.6 billion in 2011.
- Earnings on investments composed 79.5 percent of total revenue, government contributions made up 13.9 percent, and employee contributions accounted for the remaining 6.6 percent of total revenue in 2011.
- Government contributions increased 10.7 percent, from $64.8 billion in 2010 to $71.7 billion in 2011. Employee contributions increased 3.0 percent, from $33.2 billion in 2010 to $34.2 billion in 2011. Wisconsin's Act 10 requires most public employees to contribute to their pensions.

Barcelona defender Carles Puyol has been ruled out for four to six weeks after suffering a knee injury. The 34-year-old had just returned from a cheekbone injury before injuring his knee during Saturday's 4-1 win over Getafe.
The captain strained his posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and is now set to miss the UEFA Champions League clashes against Spartak Moscow and Benfica, as well as La Liga games against Granada, Sevilla and Real Madrid.
Coach Tito Vilanova also admitted that the experienced Spaniard will be missed in their defence over the next few weeks.
"It's a problem that we've always had at centre-back; we know how important Puyol is to us, he organises us defensively, and he was looking really good," said Vilanova.
The Catalans will now rely on Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano as well as B-team player Marc Bartra, who oftens trains with the first team.

And there was another important time Sidibe didn't listen to herself—when she was determined not to cry during a TV visit with the film's producer Oprah Winfrey. "I needed something to focus on so I wouldn't just crumble," says Sidibe. "I did cry, which means I lost and Oprah won."
Christian McKay
You'd think Me and Orson Welles star Christian McKay was deeply flattered when for years people suggested he'd be perfect to play the larger-than-life cinematic wunderkind. "I was rather annoyed," says McKay. "My generation remembers him on chat shows as a man-mountain. I really thought they were having a go at my weight!"
But it was a role the Brit actor (and accomplished classical pianist) was destined to embrace, both in an acclaimed one-man stage show and Richard Linklater's film set amid the Mercury Theatre. "If you think of him as the genius that he undoubtedly was, you'd go mad," he says. "I was most interested in finding out what made him tick as a man. He was a labyrinth of a personality."
As Hollywood takes notice and McKay begins to sketch what he wants his own character to be, the shadow of Welles looms large, as a recent visit to Musso & Frank Grill reminded him. "The maitre d' said, 'Your usual table, Mr. Welles?' He sat me down where they filmed the little cameo that [Vincent] D'Onofrio does [as Welles] in Ed Wood. He said, 'This has always been your table, Mr. Welles.'"
"That's the wonderful thing about being an actor," laughs McKay. "You get the opportunity to portray genius when you're pretty stupid yourself."

MONTREAL — An explosion in a chemical research laboratory near here Friday killed four scientists and seriously injured a fifth, officials of CIL Inc. reported.
A sixth worker was treated at a hospital and released shortly after the explosion at CIL's McMasterville explosives and technical center. CIL manufactures explosives and produces chemicals.

One of the reasons I was interested in visiting Bellevue, Iowa, is because I'd heard so much about the Mont Rest Inn.
It is an historic Inn that is located halfway up a 9 acre wooded bluff that overlooks a panoramic view of the Mississippi River. They have 12 guest rooms with private baths [some have fireplaces and Jacuzzis.]
This structure was built in 1893 by a wealthy land developer. The locals started called Mont Rest, "The Castle" because of its location that towered above the town and because it looked like a castle.
The round room at the top of this house was for high stake poker games. Soon Mont Rest became "infamous for its gambling, which was illegal at the time".
Would you believe, the owner lost his beloved Mont Rest in a $6,000.00 poker bet. [that's equal to about one million dollars at today's buying power]
A factory owner in the area lived here for a time, but as a punishment to Bellevue's gossip about him, he shut the house up and refused to sell to anyone for a quarter of a century! It was invaded by animals, sustained teenage vandalism, and was called The Haunted Castle of Bellevue.
Then in the 1980's a series of people owned it without luck. The bank ended up with it until the present owner [Christine Zraick] purchased it from the bank. She made it into a Country Inn.
In 1996 on Christmas Eve, Mont Rest was almost totally destroyed by fire. Thank goodness, Christine decided to recreate this Victorian beauty. Today all that the fire destroyed has been replaced, and it stands majestically on the North Bluff overlooking the river and the town of Bellevue.
Unique Quality: Their luxury rooms offer working fireplaces, heated towel bars, Jacuzzi bathtubs, Robes, Egyptian cotton towels, fresh flowers, imported chocolates as well as complimentary non-alcoholic beverages. You are able to have an in-room therapeutic massage and reflexology!
They will make tee times for you at the Bellevue Golf Club; they will make reservations for area restaurants; or arrange other activities for you
Warning: They have a VERY STRICT cencellation policy. No penalty if you cancel 30 days ahead of arrival.
"Tea & Tour" by appointment.
Also, if you are arriving after seven in the evening, you must contact the Inn ahead of time telling them of your planned arrival time.

Address: 300 Spring Street, Bellevue, Iowa, 52031, United States

Traditionally, Norway's main attraction has been its beautiful scenery, in particular its numerous fjords and the North Cape, which is a popular spot to view the Midnight Sun.
The charming city of Bergen, or the 'city among the seven mountains', centres its appeal around the Bryggen harbour-side district, a UNESCO World Heritage Listed-site, which has many buildings dating from as far back as the 17th century.
Tromso, or the 'Gateway to the Arctic', is located in the middle of the northern lights zone. This lively city is home to the world's northernmost university town and has more pubs per capita than any other Norwegain town. Visitors will never be far away from a street performer, busker or pub.

If one sought a single word to capture the state of public library services in Virginia, it would have to be "uneven." Himmel & Wilson has worked on statewide studies of library services in more than twenty states. The spectrum of public library services in Virginia is among the widest we have witnessed.
However, the breadth of this spectrum isn't entirely bad news. The libraries at the "high end" offer some of the finest public library services we have seen in the nation. For example, Arlington's Central Library's hours of service (76 hours per week - open four nights a week until 10 PM and open 8 hours on Sundays) are the best we have encountered. The highly developed web presence of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library provides a model worthy of emulation by much larger libraries throughout the United States. The adult programming offered by the Fairfax County Public Library for people of all ages is truly exceptional. Several libraries in the Hampton Roads area have highly developed partnerships that support various aspects of early childhood development. The Hampton Public Library's exemplary Healthy Families Partnership with the Hampton Health Department and a variety of other community-based agencies seeks to ensure that every child in Hampton is born healthy and enters school ready to learn.
At the same time, the consultants also found that Virginia has a significant number of libraries at the bottom end of the spectrum. For example, the consultants visited a public library in Virginia that offers no public Internet access. We discovered a regional library with no web presence. Three libraries in Virginia expended less than $ 1.00 per capita on new materials in 2004. Our site visits revealed that numerous library buildings are not in full compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act Guidelines. Several libraries offer little or nothing in the way of non-print formats.
"Quality" can be a somewhat subjective term when it is applied to library service. Because public libraries fulfill many different community needs, there can be differences of opinion in terms of what constitutes quality. For example, if an individual values public libraries solely for their print materials, she or he may not be troubled that some of Virginia's libraries offer little or nothing in the way of audio or video materials. On the other hand, the expenditure of less than $ 1.00 per capita on new materials might be seen as a significant deficiency. An individual with a disabling condition may not care too much about the collection of materials housed in a facility that is inaccessible to them.
No single measure can be used to determine whether a library offers quality services. It is necessarily a combination of factors. In the end, quality is a matter of the degree to which libraries are relevant to the people in their communities and are meeting individual needs. However, there is considerable agreement about many of the components that contribute to quality.
Virginia has a valuable document in place that attempts to identify these components. Planning for Library Excellence, while a bit dated at this point, is a fundamentally sound tool. There is no question that if all libraries in Virginia met all of the standards and guidelines presented in the document that the people of Virginia would be receiving improved services.
The eight categories used to organize the standards and guidelines document are also sound. They are:
• Governance, Administration, and Planning
• Access
• Library Services
• Collections
• Facilities
• Technology
• Personnel
• Community and Public Relations
Unfortunately, most of the standards and guidelines presented in Planning for Library Excellence have little in the way of teeth. There is, in fact, a relatively small set of "requirements" that must be met in order to qualify for state aid. The consultants have reviewed the requirements and believe that they are fundamentally sound. We believe that enforcement of this basic set of standards is critically important as a first step.
One particular concern in terms of the quality of library service is in the area of staffing and continuing education. As was illustrated in the introduction to this report, the 21st Century public library is more than just a passive warehouse of books. Professional leadership and an ongoing honing and refining of staff skills and competencies are critical to the success of Virginia's public libraries.
Unlike some states, Virginia has been largely successful in addressing one major challenge. Through incentives for the formation of regional libraries, Virginia has been able to create larger, more efficient units of service. However, larger and often more complex governance units also deserve a high level of professional expertise in planning and implementing quality library services.
The past year has actually seen a deterioration of Virginia's certification program for librarians and library directors at a time when what is truly needed is an even stronger program. Greater coordination of continuing education for library staff at all levels is also lacking. Other states on the eastern seaboard, including Maryland, New Jersey and Delaware, are working to develop comprehensive programs that will ensure that library staff at all levels will have the appropriate skills to offer quality library services.
While a updating of the State's standards is needed (especially in the staffing and technology areas), an analysis of how State policies and funding programs encourage libraries to make progress toward the standards and guidelines is also needed. If Virginia's public libraries are going to serve the public well, "library development" needs to be more than part of the name of a division within the Library of Virginia. Developmental policies and funding incentives that encourage excellence also need to be in place.
Developmental incentives such as requiring all library directors to hold a master's degree in library science from a program accredited by the American Library Association in order to qualify for State aid is not just desirable. It is essential if Virginia's libraries are going to flourish.

T he first week of the NFL season concluded Monday night. What do we know? The Dallas Cowboys are still the Cowboys—finding ways to lose the game. We know Tom Brady is still Tom Brady—awesome. Judging from the few games I saw during the first week of the NFL season, tackling is spotty. Was this a function of missing time because of the lockout or is this just today's NFL? Anyway, enough talk…on to the cheerleaders:

In recent years, walleye abundance has been the highest ever recorded, and the northern population has maintained its strength. Undeveloped shorelines and shallow areas provided excellent places for wildlife and fish to feed, hide and raise their young.
Cass Lake
Cass Lake, just northeast of the City of Cass Lake is the largest of the eight lakes that make up the Cass Lake Chain of Lakes. The scenery is incredible on the 15,596 acre lake with its 26.9 miles of forested shoreline and sandy beaches. It is one of the Minnesota lakes that always ends up on someone's list of great fishing places. Cass offers fine populations of walleye, northern pike, and perch. It is also popular with muskie anglers. The yellow perch catch has been up considerably in recent years too, with perch reaching the 10 to 11 inch range.
Gull Lake
Gull Lake is a natural spring-fed lake containing more than 2,300 acres, with an average depth of 20 feet and 11.5 miles of shoreline. There is a great deal of underwater structure including rock reefs and sunken islands, plus lily pads and many weed beds for great fishing. It is one of northern Minnesota's finest bluegill lakes, but also has significant populations of northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, crappie and perch for your fish fry. Gull Lake is located approximately 16 miles northeast of Bemidji.
Kitchi Lake
Located on the northeasternmost part of the Cass Lake Chain, Kitchi Lake and its 1,758 acres are easily accessible by boat from Cass Lake/ The Turtle River and Kitchi Creek flow through Kitchi with access to Big and Little Rice Lakes. Kitchi Lake has varied structure and holds northern pike, bluegills, black crappie, perch, muskie, walleye, and largemouth bass. One of the most remote lakes on the Cass Lake Chain, it is located entirely within the Chippewa National Forest.
Lake Andrusia
Lake Andrusia covers 1,510 acres with 10 miles of wooded shoreline. Big Wolf and Cass Lake are acessible from Andrusia, and are known for fantastic walleye fishing year-round. Lake Andrusia is the place to be during the seasonal migration of walleye before they begin to spawn. Nice size northern pike are abundant, too, as well as trophy muskie, largemouth bass, perch and rock bass. The lake is set in the Chippewa National Forest, with the Mississippi inlet and outlet on the south end and flowage into Big Lake at the north end.
Moose Lake
Moose Lake is located near Bemidji, Blackduck and Cass Lake. Its clear, spring-fed waters cover 632 acres extend 2.2 miles in length and reach a maximum depth of 72 feet. Its seven miles of shoreline are surrounded by the Chippewa National Forest, and it is known for a variety of fish including walleye, northern Pike, black crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass and bullheads. The lake has good shoreline vegetation, some deeper holes and several good points with sandbars.
Pimushe Lake
Pimushe Lake is moderately sized at 1,365 acres. Seven miles end to end, it reaches depths of 40 feet. Long and narrow, its shoreline is undeveloped and irregular, with many small bays and islands. Pimushe has a diverse fish community, and a reputation for producing mixed stringers of quality size fish. Species range from walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike and crappie, to bluegills still in the 8-inch plus size being common.
Three Island Lake
Often overlooked because of its small size, Three Island Lake is a true sleeper lake. The sixth lake on the Turtle River Chain, it is two miles long and just half a mile wide, meaning it can be fished even when wind keeps boats off larger lakes. It has an average depth of 6 feet, a maximum depth of 30 feet and water clarity readings of 12 to 14 feet. It boasts a strong walleye population, both in numbers and size. It also is an outstanding largemouth bass, northern pike and panfish lake.

The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract given the company and six others by SSC Atlantic is for one year, with four one-year options. The contract's total value is about $224 million.
"We look forward to providing SSC Atlantic with world-class physical security and force protection capabilities where security is of high or vital interest," said John Thomas, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.
A $21 million contract has been awarded to General Dynamics Information Technology to provide IT and mission sustainment services to the U.S. Navy.
The information technology and sustainment services -- under a 3-year, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract -- are specifically for the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command and are worth $27.1 million if all options are exercised.
L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that its STRATIS division has been awarded a five-year contract valued at $152 million to provide information technology and cyber operations support to the U.S. Air Forces Central Command (USAFCENT). This firm-fixed-price, time and materials contract with a period of performance from 2010 to 2015 is a continuation of L-3's long-term support of USAFCENT's mission critical cyber operations.
Contracts worth $261 million for tailored information solutions and services to U.S. intelligence organizations have been announced by CACI International Inc.
CACI said the awards came in the fourth quarter of its 2012 fiscal year, which ended June 30, and include $233 million in new business.
The entities that issued the contracts and the specific work to be performed weren't disclosed.
MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Capabilities of a force simulation training program are to be enhanced by SAIC under a $55 million U.S. Army award.

Specifically SAIC will conduct modeling, engineering, development and test services on new concepts for the system.
MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted for support in assessing commercial and government off-the-shelf technologies to rapidly meet the needs of soldiers in combat.

MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Operational command-and-control technology support will be provided to the U.S. Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic by SAIC of Virginia.
The services by Science Applications International Corp. will be delivered through a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract.
The award has a one-year base period and four one-year options. Its value is more than $88 million if all options are exercised.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- A U.S. program for increasing people's confidence in district-level government in Afghanistan is to be implemented by AECOM Technology Corp.
AECOM, a California provider of technical and management support services, said the contract it received from the U.S. Agency for International Development is for the Afghanistan Stability in Key Areas-East program.
The award, which is for 18 months with an 18-month option, is worth as much as $177 million.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 12 (UPI) -- General Dynamics C4 Systems has received a five-year, follow-on contract from the U.S. Army to update and maintain ISR Common Ground Stations.

So after RP gets the nomination at RNC, thoughts on Christie as our VP?
Submitted by quickbrownfox on Sat, 05/19/2012 - 14:12What do you guys think about Gov. Chris Christie as his VP? I've been watching some YouTube videos and I'm starting to like this guy.. His ability to cut the BS and balance a budget may be a good trait to have in our #2. Thoughts?
For the people that say he's too neoconish and an establishment insider, can you provide some support/facts for your accusations? I don't doubt you guys but no one has provided anything to make this any different from when people on HuffingtonPost kept saying RP was racist just because that's what they had heard from others.
And to the people that say no just because he is fat, I didn't realize we had such judgmental & shallow individuals around here. Personally, I know a lot of fat people who are very funny and entertaining to be around.
Read a story that Christie
Read a story that Christie wants to flaunt federal law and allow sports betting in his state. I'll make a deal. Show you've really got balls and protect those casinos with the local sheriffs office from a federal raid and I'll vote for ya! Just to see that would make my day.
It is 5/26/12 & folks still falling for this distraction post?!?
Did you not notice the name of the poster?
Have you ever heard of posting 'bots' before?
Forget the ignorant tripe!
Focus folks... Texas and California need to be won!
From Hells Heart
Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.
I cast another harpoon of negativeness with this comment.
With over a hundred and sixty negative votes will this topic not sound the abysmal depths? ;-)
Hell no to all neocons like
Hell no to all neocons like Christie and Rubio
Very personable
but what politician isn't? He's clearly a company man.
Chris Christie
Chris Christie has not shown us that he believes we own our own bodies. Otherwise he would guarantee privacy of our medical information.
Giving You the benefit of the doubt and no offense qbf but
when I see posts like this I think we have many here that need to do a lot more studying and a lot less posting.
You have much to learn yet regarding the nature of the awesome threat we are trying to neutralize.
"You are a den of vipers and thieves."
I mean to rout you out!
-Just because you are among us, does not make you with us
-The door is wide open, anything can slither in
I could care less about his weight
To each his own. But the mere fact that Hannity promotes Chris Christie almost every day is ALL i need to run away from that guy...
He loves Romney!!! Sorry!!!
Really?.. Yes bringing up his weight would be kinda shallow, wouldn't it.. Thanks for pointing that out. You've totally rocked my moral compass over here.
But seriously,no. Christie is just awwwful...
How about Michael Badnarik
This guy KNOWS and loves the constitution
" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~
Badnarik is a nobody,
Badnarik is a nobody, politically speaking. Sorry. If we are going to run brilliant political nobodies, the list is fairly long: Scott Horton, Tom Woods, Sheldon Richman, Lew Rockwell, etc. The problem is to find somebody who has the right principles but has a track record in either business or government that can give us credibility.
OOO how bout that mayor from DC that appointed that new school district superintendent who tried to fire half the DC school teachers? She was on Stossel's stupid in america program. The mayor got booted for doing that I believe. Can we get him?
If that mayor can pick superintendents like that, then maybe he can help Ron pick the cabinet. (because one thing Paul is suspect on is choosing his supporting cast)
The sad thing is that there
The sad thing is that there are remarkably few choices, that is if we are talking about people who have strong political experience. One possibility is Walter Jones but then running two members of the House doesn't make too much sense.
Christie? Are you joking? He endorsed Romney!!
He's a bombastic blowhard who manages to fool a lot of people, just like Giuliani did. A big mouth does not make you a libertarian. A few conservative policies does not either. It does, however, distract lots of folks from learning the truth about you. Like quickbrownfox (unless this really is a joke).
I kind of liked him until he
I kind of liked him until he gave a boilerplate necon national "coming out speech" on foreign policy. He was dead after that.
Hey Atkinson
Do remember when/where the speech was given? trying to find it but having trouble
I would be so please to vote for Christy! He is the blood that
runs through the veins of..... Romney.... UHhhh! Okay I will vote for Christy immediately after HELL FREEZES OVER!
Whew... Thought I was having a bad drug relaspe. I could have sworn someone posted a Christy, Paul ticket. I am so happy that was just a nightmare/dream!
Now I just need a drink to awake fully from this post.
1976-1982 USMC, Having my hands in the soil keeps me from soiling my hands on useless politicians.
I don't get why people say
I don't get why people say this. Wouldn't hell freezing over be preferable to hell remaining hot? Why ruin it by voting for Mitt or Christie?
paul/kucinich 2012 for me
paul/kucinich 2012 for me
Kucinich is a joke, lets be real
The man couldn't win re-election in a congressional district. You do serious disservice to Ron Paul by putting him on your hypothetical ticket with Kucinich.
A troll ... post
Anyone who understands liberty knows Christie does not even come close. What a tragedy that this post has not been deleted because it is obviously a troll job to divide the community.
DUDE what are you thinking
We need to clean house not start sweeping up the floor and keeping the dirt inside.
We need to replace them all
yes please remove this post.
yes please remove this post. I cant believe it is still going.
Don't be fooled
Don't be fooled, as others have pointed out Chris Christie is a Neocon extraordinaire. No way! It already sounds like RP will pick our good friend Judge Napolitano anyway.
Michael Nystrom
PLEASE remove this post!
Yeah, make it
easy for them! They just pick another cia asset "lone gunman" patsy and it will be back to business as usual.

Troy schools seek to further improve school safety
By Marianne Eisenbrandt Correspondent February 25, 2013 1:31PM
Updated: April 5, 2013 6:04AM
The Troy School Board continues to improve security throughout the school district as a result of the tragic shooting of students in Newtown, Conn.
Director of operations Kenneth Surma at a recent school board meeting highlighted Hall Pass, a school visitor management system. The system should be implemented at all of the schools, the district office and the Technology Department by April 1, after students return from spring break.
Surma said Hall Pass instantly compares school visitor identification data against the integrated, comprehensive database of sex offender registries for every state. When a known sex offender is detected, Hall Pass sends instantaneous alerts preventing access.
State laws mandate that convicted sex offenders voluntarily report their whereabouts on a regular basis and remain in the state where they are registered.
Surma said that Hall Pass changes the equation. With integrated data and instant identification, Hall Pass can increase security and prevent incidents in schools.
When entering a building, each visitor must present a government-issued ID to the front office. The ID is scanned using the Hall Pass optical scanner and the information is checked against the National Sex Offender Registry and the district's restricted list.
If the visitor is found on either list, the system will display all information related to the offender, including a photo, and will instantly send out alerts via text message and email to appropriate staff and district police officers.
If the visitor is cleared, Hall Pass will print a time/date badge with photo and school logo for the visitor to wear while on school grounds.

Gossip Is Served…
Yet again, Keira Knightley is facing some controversies with her latest ad campaign for Chanel.
Keira's Coco Mademoiselle poster shows a fuller breast wherein so unusual to her world renowned flat chest.
An airbrushing expert examines the poster of the 24 year old actress and said: "her breast has had some shading added to it to give it the effect of being rounder and more pert and it has also been increased in size slightly."
This is not the first time that such incident happens on her career. Her other publicity photos shown a photoshopped version of her breast brought to life.
