Ron Paul, The Real Republican Elephant

UPDATE, August 28, 2012: RON PAUL, THE REAL REPUBLICAN ELEPHANT The Republican party is often symbolized by an Elephant, a symbol that has many meanings when asking different people and different generations.  But when I take that infamous Elephant into consideration, and I think of the nominees presented at the Republican National Convention of 2012, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, I realize the true symbolism provided by the Republican Elephant. The Elephant symbolizes the TRUTH. The Republican Elephant is the “ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM”, the ignored truth in the room, in society. The TRUTH about the TRUTH, is that regardless of the rewards, consequences, emotions, drama, and POLITICS, the TRUTH is still the TRUTH. The Republican Elephant and the RNC Nominee are supposed to be principled, supposed to stand their ground, supposed to shout and propagate the truth, EVEN IF THAT MEANS BEING “THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM”. RON PAUL IS THAT REPUBLICAN ELEPHANT.  I ask you today, Delegates and Citizens, to truly think about that, to assess how much you truly care for what you say you care about, to think about the TRUTH, and to also ask yourself, Will electing a RINO to beat a DONKEY solve the [...]

Intermittent Fasting,Depression,Inflammation & Brad Pilon’s Interesting Point

Brad Pilon, author of Eat Stop Eat, and Intermittent Fasting expert, has created a great article on a possible way intermittent fasting may assist with inflammation, and thus, depression, a leading and growing sickness that now affects 1 in 10 people in America, according to the CDC (who is funded by a massive emotional/physical depression trigger).  When the body is stressed, immune system cells release pro-inflammatory cytokines, cell-signaling proteins that promote inflammation, as a signal to the brain,related molecules,  and of course, your conscious, that something is wrong [Source]. [Brad Pilon, Author of Intermittent Fasting Guide, Eat Stop Eat, on Dieting & Metabolism] Brad Pilon provides very interesting points relating inflammation and depression,  Many of those effected by depression show markers of inflammation, and conversely, many of those effected by inflammatory sickness and illness have a higher chance of being effected by depression Chronic Exercise, or Chronic Cardio, is linked with inflammation. The excessive release of cortisol that often occurs with long-duration cardio is a primary factor in creating inflammation. Obesity and insulin resistance also correlate with increased inflammation. High levels of carbohydrate and calorie intake often result in insulin resistance, the resistance of receptors to the hormone insulin ( a nutrient regulator/deliverer), resulting [...]

Brandon Raub Marine Veteran And Freedom Through Technology

UPDATE August 31, 2012: TAKE ACTION AND DEMAND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO KIDNAPPED BRANDON RAUB BE FIRED AND CHARGED HERE UPDATE August 27, 2012: Pre/Pera/Post Ron Paul We Are The Future Rally Ron Paul mentions & discusses Brandon Raub, FBI-kidnapped Marine Veteran  UPDATE August 24, 2012:Anti-NDAA / Anti- Federal Kidnapping Bilboards going up around the Country, near Army/Marines/Military bases. Example of Oathkeepers On August 20,2012, Brandon Raub, Marine Veteran, Citizen of Virginia, was illegally kidnapped by members of the FBI and other Federal “Law” enforcement agencies for Free Speech he made on his Facebook. Authorities, without warrant, detained Brandon, and stated they would hold him for 30 days, against his will.  Whether this unlawful and Unconstitutional arrest is related to NDAA Indefinite detention or not is still to be figured out. The Obama administration is currently refusing to notify Judges if it is illegally enforcing the National Defense Authorization Act, despite being ruled Unconstitutional. But even without taking into consideration the possible NDAA Indefinite detention link, members of Federal Agencies held Brandon Raub without warrant, and imprisoned him within a government psychiatrist ward with force and against his will, without releasing any information, until wind of the arrest went viral over the internet and throughout [...]

Exercise Gaming And the Memory of Hard Work

Exercise gaming, playing a video game primarily built around motivating the user to workout interactively, is the new fitness trend generating buzz in the health and fitness industry. Pubmed research searches on exergame and fitness gaming bring up a few different studies that have conducted related research, mainly with youth and younger populations, because of a decrease in interest by adults, compared to younger age groups, towards the nature of an exergame. For instance, this University of Oklahoma study carried out a 10 week dance-exergame program on a group of 40 adolescents, and concluded, based on this research, that  exercise video games have a positive impact on the psychology of adolescents. Any experienced exercise will admit and confirm positive self-efficacy has an effect on adherence to program, motivation and drive, performance, and endurance, among other things.  Most definitely, fitness video games improving the self-efficacy and attitude of youth towards exercise is a positive trait. I can see exercise video games possibly having a positive impact in assisting youth , exercise-preschoolers, and the physically-limited. But given that opinion, I also have to compare the time and energy spent in an exergame to that spent in a non-gaming form of exercise. Exergaming may be [...]
