Nathan's Rant
Here is my latest political rant.........
It’s getting to be that time of year again. No, not a time for college basketball, Easter bunnies, and every student’s longing for spring break. This is a time of the year for the 2012 political campaigns to start taking form. The democrats are currently sitting with the seat of power, with President Obama running the nation. The Republican Party is angry the current Health Care bill has passed, and are bound and determined to take back the presidential seat which they have rightfully owned for 8 out of the past 10 years. There are many potential tickets that the republicans could offer, but one of the most eccentric, slightly dangerous, and radically republican combinations is a Sarah Palin/Liz Cheney ticket. These two ladies are extremely conservative, including pushing for anti-abortion laws, not supporting the current health care bill, and demanding that the lawyers who are obeying the law and defending prisoners have their names released to the public. These two ladies could have a strong candidacy in that they would appeal to the majority of the women voters, the Republican Party supports both, and Sarah Palin is extremely popular among many voters, including democratic. These two women also have their downsides including comparing themselves to bulldogs, the dislike from the opposing Democratic Party, and the unlikely odds that an all female ballot would win in this current day and age. Contrary to what many people might believe, this potential ticket would be extremely harmful to women’s rights. Sarah Palin herself has strongly supported bills that would push our nation back into a less progressive state of mind. So in the shadows of the republican think tank, college basketball, Easter bunnies, and dreams of a sunny spring break are being pushed aside, and campaign slogans are being created. The newest: Sarah Palin says “I pledge allegiance to the United States of Alaska….. I mean America!”

Ally (Bands)
Another band that i was listing to was Eiffel 65. Eiffel 65 was a Grammy-nominated Italian electronic dance three-piece group formed in the late 1990s and best known for their international hit Blue (Da Ba Dee). The name "Eiffel" was chosen randomly by a computer program and the "65" was scribbled onto their name on a demo by mistake; it was actually part of a phone number. The memembers are Gianfranco Randone, Maurizio Lobina, and Gabriele Ponte.
Since i was doing bands on the thinking triangle...Lifehouse is an American alternative band from Los Angeles. In 2000, Lifehouse entered the recording studio to record their first major label release. Hanging by a Moment became Lifehouse's first commercial single. It was a song that Jason Wade wrote on the spur of the moment to launched the band in musical history and became the Most Played Song of 2001. Another song that i liked was Everything. It was also used in both the pilot and first-season finale episodes of the future hit WB drama, Smallville, and would go on to be the series of the first soundtrack (Smallville: The Talon Mix). This began that Lifehouse would go on to have seven songs played during the series' first four seasons, ending with a live performance in the fourth-season prom episode, and yet another song on Smallville: The Metropolis Mix ("You and Me (Wedding Version). The song Somewhere in Between from the album No Name Face is another one that i like.
Zhenya
When I first said in my school that I`m gonna be an exchange student, most classmates of mine were very proud of me, and some teachers too, but some were consern. I do remeber the last weeks of the semester. We had two history exams and my teacher said: "Never forget ideas and values of your motherland. You will have oppurtunity to compare and see the word from different sides of wievs. When you come back to school I will ask you what double standart is..." And so on and on. Many people said how young I`m to go out in the world, in foreigen country and they really upset my grandmom. Being here is so different about the way people look at things, valuesexpectations. Schooll. My school is completely different. It`s strickt. Students don`t walk in classes without permision, we stand up when we talk to a teacher in respect. We have exams, our planners and note books checked like veryday. I was supposed to graduate this year, now i hve to go back and study one more year, but it`s worth it.
Ally (Winter Park)
Just thought that i would do some research on Winter Park since I am going up there. Winter Park began as two small settlements, Old Town and Hideaway Park. Old Town came into existence because of the construction taking place on the Moffat Tunnel. Hideaway Park was a village that began in 1932 and quickly developed into the fourth town in the valley. On August 1, 1978 the town was founded and became Winter Park. In 1980 Winter Park grew again incorporating the West Portal Village. The West Portal Village became the home of the Mary Jane Base. The Winter Park Resort, a well-known ski resort which is owned by the City and County of Denver and managed by Intrawest. The town and resort was served by the Ski Train of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad.

If anybody queestion actions of Russia they were based on Constitution. Georgia opened fire without acknowledgement of Osetin`s goverment.. It was competely insane. They bomb cities and shoot people. Personaly I think Russia had a right to enter this War as an Impire and as military coorparator of Osetia and neighbor of course. Geogea did not even want to let civil people out through green coridor. They shoot these people and some of them were Russian citezens as well. Russia`s goal was to stop the war in civil way, but it was threat to be murdered. They had to fight. . To be continued

Geogia`s "conflict"
First time I heard about tjhis one may say conflict Of Georgia had with South Osetia. It was open terror. I didn`t believe, I mean it was hard to that not so far it is about war to began. I knowthat just our neighbor _ Afganistan in war more than 20 years, sometimes you can hear bombs exploding in the nights. It is far but still it is possible to hear. I remember it was a middle of the summer, it was a sudden attack, South Osetia is very peaceful and small. At some point of time this land didi belong to Georgia, but America belonged to Indians only as well. If we start to bring everything back with terror like that. There is no sense. I believe Saakashvili(Georgia`s formal president) believed in blitz war, but he did not take on account RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
