Krauthammer: Obama Is 'President Zero - Zero Economic Expansion, Zero Jobs, Zero Ideas'
Charles Krauthammer on Fox News's "Special Report" Friday offered Republicans a 2012 campaign slogan to defeat Barack Obama.
"President Zero: zero economic expansion, zero jobs, zero ideas on how to cure the economy" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: That assumes the speech he thinks will turn the economy around. This is not that speech. This is to frame the debate for his reelection. This is not a serious jobs proposal. It will include things he knows Republicans will reject. And thus he sets up the premise, because his own White House has now said we are going to be nine percent up employment next year as well. The premise will be we are at nine percent on election date because the obstinate Republicans who care only about reelection and not about the country have rejected the great ideas he is proposing.
Look, I think the Republicans have their perfect slogan - President Zero: zero economic expansion, zero jobs, zero ideas on how to cure the economy. The recession ended two years ago. We were supposed to have a recovery summer last summer. In the numbers you showed, the unemployment, the slowdown in jobs started at the beginning of this year. He threw $1 trillion dollar stimulus at the economy assuming you'd have a Keynesian effect, a multiplier effect. It didn't.
And at the same time he piled up regulation on regulation, spending on spending, Obamacare, EPA, the financial regulations. He has his foot on the economy. And he doesn't understand that his administration has stopped the recovery in its tracks.
Yes, but Obama still has all of his devoted fans in the media.
So he's got that going for him - which is nice.

You may have been using it around your circles for a long time, but nothing was more inspiring then hearing Charles deadpan it last night, particularly with the zero jobs report - it was absolutely perfect! Now, if only the GOP contenders can utilize it to their benefit.

I believe obama thinks he can again work his magic with a speech before cheering congressional dems and that will galvanize the nation to demand that congress pass obama's proposals.
Just one major flaw to this scenario.... probably few people from main street will watch the speech. That will leave it up to the sycophantic media to follow up with days of hyped up reports on the brilliance of obama's plan.

His scripts are so predictable. Starts with blaming Bush, complains about congress and ends with blaming everything else. Sometimes the order of the three is subject to negotiation, but all three elements are there whenever he speaks on anything from the Middle East to ordering dinner.

Of course, he thinks it is professorial and if hoi polloi cannot appreciate it, it's because they are incapable of higher thought. I believe now there is a circle in Hell where Obama would hold forth for eternity, although offhand I can't think of a crime so heinous that it would warrant such a punishment.

Do you realize what the last three years have shown us when it comes to Soetoro doing his speeches, even his smallest ones(3 minutes to introduce "economic expert") to children in a classroom?
When he comes on TV(thank God it's less and less these days, but not soon enough), we as an audience should we decide to continue, are watching him read! Nevermind the so-called townhall meetings he's done and the few times he's spoken off the cuff, but in general, head swiveling back in forth tennis style or where a single screen is directly under the camera and his eyes moving, he's just reading out loud. That's worse than listening to him!
That's all it amounts to! It's pathetic when you think about it.
Hardly the great communicator that Reagan was, which was one of the lame-ass comparisons done recently. And when he's reading, there's no emotion on his face, none, zip, NADA like a damned animatronic! You could put one there and it would amount to the same damn thing.

I got the point also, and the Hammer has come around pretty good within the past couple of years, although he was a little late off the starting blocks with regard to Barack the Destroyer. But I still have to believe that Boy Barry has got to be pretty pleased with the direction the country has gone under his REGIME.................I think this is all by design - although it's almost unimaginable that someone would want what he wants............this is one main reason why I have no respect for the Dems that 'get his back', and, of course, the MSM..............who are complicit and just as guilty as Obama (and his handlers) is in orchestrating this whole scam, and the disasterous results that we now face because of it.

We Know What He Isn't Do We Know What Obama Is
Submitted by Avitar on Sat, 09/03/2011 - 3:06pm.
There has been a lot of name calling but whatever put Obama in the Whitehouse has not gone away. There is the $170 million dollars that somebody directed from a foundation to a minor "community organizer" to improve education in Chicago. Of course education was not improved and the money was converted in to political patronage but $170 million is not minor league money and that happened before Mr. Obama served in the Illinois State legislature.
The scope of what has happened should not be overlooked in the light of this man being a buffoon. How could a buffoon who did not know that the German Benz invented the automobile win the Presidency? How did John McCain one of the five worse Republican Senators get the Republican Nomination so that he could be beaten? The five million dollars that friends of Clintons spent in 1995 getting Bob Dole the nomination we understand but who was behind getting a Senator of personal character but completely inept politics the nomination this time? If we do not answer these questions we will wind up with Romney as a nominee who makes us wish we had a Dick Nixon for President.

I'm very glad that President 0 has "zero ideas on how to cure the economy" - it's his and the congressional Democrats bright "ideas" that have done so much damage in the last few years. Doing absolutely nothing would be much better than anything they can devise. As it is, their "ideas" on how to "fix" health care will be a huge drag on the country forever unless it is repealed. So, please, President 0 - no more "ideas" until you exit the White House in a year and a half.

After reading Krauthammer's comment the thought occurred to me that someone needs to write and perhaps animate a parody of the old Schoolhouse Rock song/video "My Hero, Zero". If animated, perhaps talking heads from MSNBC such as Chris "Tingles the Clown" Matthews and Al Not-So-Sharptoon can be spoofed as being the chief singers.

I've never done any aid climbing. I'm looking to buy aiders and start practicing with the goal of doing a few classic big walls. Before I drop the coin for aiders I want to make sure I'm getting the right thing. I've read a ton of stuff but I'm still a little unsure. I'm liking the idea of using two aiders (less snag factor, lighter weight, force me to move fast, cheaper) but I haven't made up my mind what kind of aiders to get. The two aider technique makes sense to me, but then again I've never done it before. I've heard the BD aiders aren't that good. I'm intrigued by the Fish aiders. Metolius aiders get good reviews. Yates look nice but kinda pricy. And then there's the etrier vs ladder thing. I'd assumed that an etrier style was the way to go since the walls I'm interested in are primarily free climbs. But, I've from what I've read people suggest ladders . . . which I would think would get in the way and be annoying while free climbing. As of now I'm thinking of getting the either Metolious alpine aiders or the Fish ones. I've also considered getting 'alpine' aiders built with 3/4 inch webbing. If I'm going to build up to doing a classic (NW Half Dome, the Nose) big wall is that a bad idea?
The Fish ones are pretty sweet, I like how the steps are all stitched off of the same side because I think it makes it hang cleaner and it's easier to get your feet into. Also Russ will hook you up with some snazzy colors to round out your style factor. The only snag in Fish aiders in my opinion is if you are in a hurry to get them made/sent. My recommendation would be to order them as soon as possible, then when you start getting ancy because you haven't gotten them in the mail yet you can buy Russ a beer via paypal and get him moving again. When it comes down to it you will probably do just fine with any standard aider for your first pair, the things definitely don't last forever so don't buy thinking its the only pair you'll ever own. Good luck and have fun vertical camping!
For most aid all you need is two aiders. Therefore, buy Yates or Fish ladders.
I think Chris McNamara's content is pretty good. I have used Fish before, but when I need something quick I mail order somewhere else. Just bought Metolius Aiders, they are good. I also buy made in the USA when I can. Makes me feel good. www.supertopo.com/a/How-To-Big-Wall-Climb-Table-of-Contents/>>>
the metolius are just ok. due to their design they get snagged on each other when you are pulling them through and they twist up a fair bit, especially if your using 4. if you have the coin, 2 yates ladders should suffice. and those are definatly the best i have used so far.
Fish, no doubt and Russ may even be back from Holidays by now.
There's only one FISH!!!!! www.fishproducts.com/
Once you go Spreader bar, you'll never go back. So either get Yates, or Fish with the spreader bar.
I used etriers for years before i figured out they were crap and switched to the ladder style. if you go the 2 aider method ladders are the only way to go. i'm partial to the yates.
For climbs like the Nose and NW Face of Half Dome, the metolius pocket aiders are great. The clip on your harness and out of the way when free climbing and easy to deploy if you need to go into full on aid mode. They are not very comfy which encourages you to move fast. If your going to be doing alot of standing in the aiders, I think the Yates ladders are the best. Once you used ladder style aiders you will never want to use etrier style again.
Thanks for weighing in, folks! I think I'll try to get a pair of fish aiders. We'll see how that goes. I'm not sure if his order form on the site works.
Have to put a belated support for Yates Big Wall Ladders. They take a beating without blinking. I try to aid every weekend in Yosemite and Pinnacles every weekend for the last 6 months. Single-pitch climbs and multi-pitch climbs as well as some of the smaller walls. Minimum of 3 hours a day up to 12 hours a day on the wall. (I've been working on A3-A4 nailing so my pitch-time is SAF.) The combination of cheesegrater granite and sharp chickenhead Pinnacles "rock" has done a number to all of my gear but the yates big wall are still running strong I've destroyed a pair of Bdel aiders as well as my partner has crucified her Metolius easy aiders on cleanup duty. Yates gear is Emphatically The Shit.
Why specifically are the BD aiders not so great?
The BD aiders don't collapse well, the fabric it too stiff and gets fuzzy quickly. These issues combine to make them snag easily on gear/rock/etc. Good aiders like the Yates ladders are silky smooth, hang open when you need them to and collapse easily as you yank them up.
get a pair with the spreader in them. I have the yates and love them.
Yates big wall ladders.. love them would never go back to non-spreader bar style.

FORT WORTH -- Nineteen students from All Saints Episcopal School designed and built a three-wheel car that's powered by the sun.
They call it "Sun Chaser," and it's getting ready to head west for a big race.
"When you get to the finish line, it's more of a feeling of success that you were able to build a car that can go from Texas to California," said student Ethan Fricks. "That's what the whole race is about."
The team leaves from Texas Motor Speedway next Tuesday. Twelve members will be taking turns driving the car until they get to the Los Angeles Exposition Park.
The seven-day race is part of the Solar Car Challenge, a program that helps motivates students in science, engineering, and alternative energy.
"It's a great feeling for us to know that we can do this," Fricks said.
The journey started two years ago. None of the students knew much about cars when they started getting their hands dirty, but they are now experts.
"I had never soldered wires before -- I was so scared the first time I did it," said team member, Emily Marcho.
For every member, the biggest highlight was when they put a faster engine in the car.
"When we first ran it, everybody was like 'Oh my gosh, did you hear that?'" Marcho said. "It was purring, and it was awesome. Everybody was proud of themselves."
The students haven't crossed the finish line, but they are winners already. Their "homemade" ride did more than teach. It gave them the confidence to do even more.
"I can go do things if I really want to," Marcho said. "Great things are going to come out of this."
You can follow the team on Twitter @asesolarcar, and they will be posting blogs and updates on Weebly during their trip to California.

The minutes ticked by and no ambulance arrived. After 28 minutes, Harding was dead at 19. The official story: after being stopped in a Muni fare check, Harding ran from police, drew a gun, and shot himself.
A year later, family members and community supporters maintain that the official story is a lie. A protest on his death's anniversary this week shut down Muni service for an hour in his honor.
But protesters weren't speaking of just Harding. Since he was killed by law enforcement officers, so were Charles Hill, Alan Blueford, and Derrick Gaines. All have led to varying degrees of protest that feed tensions between the cops and segments of the community.
Hill's fatal shooting by a BART cop in San Francisco sparked last summer's OpBART demonstrations, the energy from which flowed into early manifestations of the Bay Area's Occupy movement, which was also marked by tense standoffs with cops that were followed by "fuck the police" marches throughout the Bay Area.
Despite such lingering tensions, Mayor Ed Lee recently suggested curbing gun violence by giving cops stop-and-frisk authority, a controversial idea that has been the subject of massive protest movements in New York City where what critics say is widespread racial profiling heightens tensions between police and communities of color.
Lee's idea was widely criticized, triggering the Board of Supervisors to pass a resolution on July 10 criticizing the idea, urging Lee to abandon it, and saying it would destroy trust between the community and police.
There has always been tension in San Francisco between police and segments of the community, but a series of emotional, high-profile episodes and unsatisfying official responses over the last year has frayed that relationship even more than normal.
When Harding was killed, his mother Denika Chatman moved from Seattle to San Francisco. She wanted to convict the officers she believes murdered him. But the SFPD announced within weeks of the shooting that Harding had shot himself.
Now, Chatman and attorney John Burris have filed a federal lawsuit. "I know that it was murder," she said. "I know his human rights had been violated."
Chatman and other family members and friends maintain that when Harding was stopped while off-boarding the T train by SFPD officers and asked for proof of paying the $2 fair, he was unarmed. Harding ran, and those officers drew guns and shot him.
Police say that Harding had pulled out a gun as he ran and shot at police, prompting their return fire. They didn't recover a gun at the scene, but after a weeklong "community effort," police say a neighbor turned in a gun found at the scene.
The gun shot .38 caliber bullets, police reported—smaller than the .40 caliber bullets in a standard-issue SFPD weapon. The police crime lab then concluded Harding's fatal wound was from a .38 caliber bullet, a finding confirmed later by the Office of the Medical Examiner.
A widely circulated video show's Harding on the ground, bleeding to death, as police stand around him.
But as SFPD spokesperson Carlos Manfredi tells it, "The officers did not just stand around. Officers had just been involved in a violent confrontation, they were fearful for their lives...A hostile crowd began surrounding the officers."
"Chatman and other family members and friends maintain that when Harding was stopped while off-boarding the T train by SFPD officers and asked for proof of paying the $2 fair, he was unarmed. Harding ran, and those officers drew guns and shot him."
According to data from ShotSpotter — which was deployed in the Bayview in 2008 — three separate firearms unloaded 10 shots over six seconds. The first shot was one of two fired from where Harding was located, police said. Two to six seconds later, eight more shots were fired from where the officers were located.

Today is the first day of progressive history.
I am sure this paragraph has touched all the internet users, its really nice.
-to-corporate-entity program, I take any "information" provided by them through the police with a half-pound of salt.
I've also come to realize that radiocarbon dating is a plot by a Jewish elite to subvert God's truth that the earth was created 5000 years. So I take all that dinosaur, caveman shit with a FULL-pound of salt.
ShitSpitter isn't propaganda. No sirree. It's hard science, exactly like radiocarbon dating. 'Coz the cops who put up the data on ShitSpitter would ALWAYS put up stuff that makes them look bad! If there's evidence that doesn't corroborate the official police line, you can trust the police who put up the data on ShitSpitter to put up the truth. Why? Because authorities never lie. Duh.
A cavalcade of evidence which requires dozens if not hundreds of people needing to remain silent or complicit is self evident.
Shot splitter shots are recorded digitally. Time is a construct made up by the establishment.
"Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead."
Benjamin Franklin
The speed of light is just another way of knowing.
It is so amazing that the progressives who claim intellectual greatness are those who loath science when it doesn't work out for them.
Exactly, Lili. I didn't even bother click the link till you explained what ShitSpitter is. I didn't need to, because I figured it was something like that. Clicking to the Examiner confirms what I already knew.
Matlock's reasoning amounts to:
Matlock: I believe the police version of the story and refuse to consider anything else.
Matlock: Because I learn'd it on da ShitSpitter.
But Matlock, doesn't ShitSpitter just get their data from the cops? Isn't it actually run by the cops?
Matlock: Well I believe the cops.
But why?
Matlock: Because what the authorities say is corroborated by ShitSpitter.
It's always the first day of history for Matlock.
"first day of history" -- elegant.
I'm Greg, "I think right wingers are dumb because they approach science the same way I do, they think the earth is 7000 years old because of the bible, while I think that the speed of sound is a construct."
One problem is that this miracle technology doesn't work, or doesn't work correctly, a lot of the time:
In addition to making craploads of errors, there are always issues of data interpretation. When a corporation that wants to keep a lucrative city contract with the police (or the police themselves), are providing the interpretation, such interpretation is always suspect.
Lilli's right. It's a boondoggle, a taxpayer funded giveaway to a corporation with close ties to the cops. That was my instinct to begin with, and a quick google search confirms that my instincts were correct.

WashPost's 'On Faith' Pounds Pulpit for Tax Hikes on 'The Wealthy'
The Washington Post religion page is thundering from the pulpit again, preaching to the liberal choir on the godliness of higher taxes.
In "It's not 'class warfare,' it's Christianity," "On Faith" contributor and liberal theologian Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite defends President Obama's call for tax hikes on top income earners, arguing in essence that President Obama is helping us all be better Christians through tax hikes (emphasis mine):
President Obama just drew the economic battlelines more clearly in his call to raise $1.5 trillion in new revenue primarily through increased taxes on the wealthy, letting the Bush tax cuts expire, and closing tax loopholes.
"Class warfare!" countered the Republicans.
Americans sharing more equally in the burden of pulling our country out of massive debt, and using tax revenue to stimulate the economy and create jobs isn't "class warfare," it's actually Christianity.
The Christian approach to economics is to be the conscience of the nation and to insist that we regulate capitalism so it does not become reckless and destructive. Christians must call on the nation's politicians to have us share the burdens and the sacrifices, as President Obama is doing, in order get to the "freedom from want" that is in our democratic values and our faith values.
We do this because the Christian conscience is driven by duty to "love God with your whole heart and your neighbor as yourself."
That's in the Bible. Luke 10:27. Look it up.
But is it really loving your neighbor when your financial contribution is compelled by government?
It's funny that Brooks Thistlethwaite cites Luke 10:27, seeing as it's a verse that leads into the parable of the Good Samaritan. The Good Samaritan, of course, took care of a complete stranger out of his own resources, whereas a priest and Levite, the political-religious leaders of Israel, ignored the injured man bleeding on the side of the road.
The passage ends thusly (Luke 10:36-37):
"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
Perhaps Brooks Thistlethwaite just thinks the priest and the Levite in the parable of the Good Samaritan would have been more loving to the dying stranger on the Jericho Road had they been taxed to provide for his health care.

Oh, look. The Washington Post wants to pay higher taxes, too. Well, I think we can fix them right up! How does double sound? They love Obama's insane plan, so we let them pay double! Thanks, WP!

Simple question
Submitted by DontFeedTheTrolls on Tue, 09/20/2011 - 11:33am.
'Americans sharing more equally in the burden'? Does that not include the 40+% who pay no income taxes? If not, why not? Aren't they Americans too?
I know, I know, that question will NOT be answered.

Liberals really DO have a warped sense of Christianity. If 'charity' is imposed, by the state, or the government, IT'S NOT CHARITY!!! People must be FREE to FREELY GIVE.
God commands us to be charitable -- as individuals, so we should not rely on government to do our 'charity' work for us. True charity starts from within.
"Christians must call on the nation's politicians to have us share the burdens and the sacrifices, as President Obama is doing, "
Uhhh... No..., Christians are NOT called on to call on the nation's politicians to have us share the burdens and the sacrifice. Christians are themselves called to share the burdens and the sacrifice. Pretty subtle, but totally different slant, don't you think?
And yes, I did look up Luke 10:27, and there's nothing in there, nor I doubt anywhere else in the bible that commands Christians to have government do the work that Christians should be doing themselves.

"Christians must call on the nation's politicians to have us share the burdens and the sacrifices..."
Ahh, that "theologian" doesn't know much about Christianity, does she? Christians ASK EACH OTHER to share the burden, they don't demand their leaders to force us to "share". You see, there's thing, called Free Will, that Christians, in general, understand and accept in each other. You can't force people to do things like be charitable. You can't force people to be generous. You can't force people to be like you. It would be a very unchristian thing to do. Yet, in opposition to the Christian concept of Free Will, this "theologian," in the name of Christianity, no less, is asking people to forgo their own free will, and the free will of others, by abdicating our free will to yet another person or persons. In this case, the government. That is NOT a Christian attitude. Not even in the slightest!

I saw our similar posts after I made mine.
Speaking of being jinxed, I just received a letter from "President Barrack Obama" thanking me for my continuing support (in the form of a donation request, of course) for him and his fellow democrats. Which makes me wonder, just what makes them think I'm a Democrat?

President who is doing what?

".....President Obama is helping us all be better Christians...".
Wow! Where to start?
A man who believes in "collective salvation" is going to help us "be better Christians"? A man whose advisers consist of avowed communists (Van Jones), admirers of Mao (Anita Dunn) and Marx (Mark Lloyd), and people who believe animals should have the right to sue (Cass Sunstein) is going to help us "be better Christians"? An incompetent, radical, opportunistic, Marxist, Muslim whose first phone call after winning the Presidential election was to the president of a terrorist state (Mahmoud Abbas) is going to help us "be better Christians"?

text taken out of context is pretext. liberals use scripture out of context to establish a pretext that redistribution of private wealth by the government is scriptural. it is not. but then thistlethwaite will never ever read this. and if she did she'd never take it seriously. that's the liberal worldview both in theology and politics and they are sticking to it.

One can take from a few, waste a bunch of it taking care of your bureaucrat buddies who pass some crumbs down to a group to create dependency, then pat themselves on the back for being the "compassionate" ones, all the while demonizing those it was taken from in the first place, and have the guts to say they're not doing enough. Yep-sounds like a Christian attitude to me.

In the pre-game meal last Friday, Pearl coach John Perry went to his junior defensive back Stacee James and told him he dreamed that James would intercept two passes against Ridgeland and return one for a touchdown.
James only picked-off one pass, but he did take it all the way back for what proved to be the winning score in a 34-27 victory over the Titans.
The game was tied at 27 in the final minute with Ridgeland driving for the winning score. That's when James stepped in front of a Parker Lohman pass and raced 85 yards down the sideline for the dramatic game-winning score.

Beautifully wrapped packages. An endless array of salty appetizers and fizzy cocktails. These are some of my favorite things about December. From baking cookies to sending cards, there's a lot to do around this time of year. Let's not waste a minute more; here you'll find the top five items we can't live without during this busy month. Chocolate Gourmet's Damn Good Cookies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When I heard about Damn Good Cookies, I was skeptical. Mail-order cookies have always been delicious in theory but not so enjoyable in reality. Yet this Damn Good Cookie Assortment ($30) by Chicago-based Chocolate Gourmet truly lives up to its name. I love the homemade taste of all the cookies — especially the oh-so-fudgy Chubby Wubby Chocolate. 1 / 5 I Love Macarons by Hisako Ogita What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 2010 will be the year that cupcakes take a backseat to the new pastry of the moment, the ethereal, candy-colored pastry buttons known as macarons. Get on the macaron bandwagon with I Love Macarons ($15), Hisako Ogita's new book that focuses solely on this beloved French cookie. With step-by-step instructions to guide you through the macaron making process, you'll be an expert before you know it! 2 / 5 Flex-It Silicone Bowls What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Before you get started on all those Christmas cookies and holiday treats, enlist the help of this three-piece flexible mixing bowl set ($49). They are easy to grip, bendable for pouring, and note calibrations for quick measuring. Their festive red hue is an added bonus. 3 / 5 Venetian-Style Champagne Flutes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Although my kitchen cabinets have no more space for glasses, I'm dying to get a set of these Venetian-style Champagne flutes ($69). They're sophisticated but youthful and make sparkling wine, an already festive drink, seem even more celebratory. 4 / 5 Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If I had to bring one cooking gadget to a deserted island's kitchen, it would be my food processor. However, my five-cup processor is on its last leg and only functions when I hold it closed. This holiday season, I'm treating myself to an upgrade and plan on placing a Cuisinart 14-cup food processor ($200) under the Christmas tree. 6 / 5 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Chocolate Gourmet's Damn Good CookiesMacaronsDecemberChampagne FlutesBowlsFood ProcessorMust HavesHoliday Holiday 100+ of the Best DIY Gifts Ever 5 days ago Make Your Coffee Table Gorgeous With These Beauty Books 1 week ago 40+ Life-Changing Books to Read This Summer 7/22 How to Assemble a Pinterest-Worthy Cheese Plate 7/08 101 Memoirs Penned by Famous Females 6/29 40 Killer Vegetarian Appetizers 6/24 Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Two East Texas families got just what they had wished for this Christmas, Sunday. One member of the Army and one member of the Navy arrived home to their families at Tyler Pounds Regional Airport Sunday afternoon.
Deck the halls with American flags, two Tyler area men are coming home for Christmas.
"It's the best Christmas present I could expect," Keith Gould, whose son is coming home, said.
One is from the Navy, the other is from the Army.
"I didn't know I was raising military guys, but that's the direction they went and I support them," Teresa Vega-Gould, whose son is coming home, said.
"Big brother joins the Army, I sort of follow in his footsteps, so he's one of my role models," Brady Gould, whose brother is coming home, said.
Brady Gould is in The National Guard and was dismissed from drill today to welcome his big brother home.
"Every time I get a call from Afghanistan it's a relief," Vega-Gould said.
She is standing by, only this time, she's getting much more than a phone call. Her oldest son, Brandon, has been in Afghanistan for nearly a year.
"About half way through the deployment I realized I would be able to come home for Christmas."
Jonathan Brush hasn't seen a Tyler Christmas in a while, either.
"Probably two years ago, I guess you could say you get used to it, but when you come back it always feels better," Brush said.
The two were welcomed by friends, family, and the community. The Welcome Home Soldiers group was there, too.
"I was surprised all these people showed up to do this for him, it was a whole lot different when I was in," Joe Brush, Jonathan's father who was also in the Navy, said.
Two families, with military sons and brothers united this Christmas.
"I feel very privileged to have two boys who see the necessity to defend our country," Keith Gould said.
Two more East Texas military men and women are scheduled to arrive tomorrow afternoon.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Well, the Spring '13 Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra gladiator sandal does, anyway—in the form of one of the mag's cheeky cartoons, no less. This week marks The New Yorker's style issue, and needless to say, Mr. Altuzarra was pretty tickled when he got his copy. "It was a huge surprise," the designer told Style.com. "I had no idea it was happening. I actually thought it was a joke, like a fake cover, but when I realized it was real, obviously I felt honored. It's the coolest thing." Penned by Ana Juan, the caricature shows Altuzarra's shoe against the New York skyline, to scale with the city's skyscrapers (that is to say, megasized). " I thought it was interesting because the shoe does have a monolithic quality," offered Altuzarra, who joked that the pressure's on to create an equally cover-worthy kick for his upcoming Resort collection.
It must be noted that Altuzarra's shoe is in pretty good company—inside the style issue, you'll find an in-depth interview with Met curator Andrew Bolton, who gives a behind-the-scenes look at the forthcoming Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition; a story about an emerging (and pretty die-hard) punk community in Burma; and a piece about legendary New York tailor, Dapper Dan—hip-hop's official haberdasher. The articles (and the cartoon) are all available to subscribers at www.newyorker.com.

An Oscar-winning legend now gone long before his time, Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in his Manhattan apartment Sunday morning.
Hoffman was a true talent, described by critics, the public and his peers as one of the best actors of his generation, if not the very best. He knew exactly how to show movie-goers the struggles of others: A man struggling with his demonic impulses, a man struggling with the death of rock and roll and a man struggling to make sense of tragedy.
From incredibly powerful roles in "Almost Famous" and "Boogie Nights" to Oscar-nominated turns in "The Master" and "Doubt," Hoffman was an actor who kept audiences wondering what he would do next.
Hoffman, who won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Truman Capote, revealed to the public eight years ago that his struggle with drugs has been an ongoing fight for sobriety.
But in private, Philip Seymour Hoffman kept his own struggles to himself. On the morning of Sunday, Feb. 2, his struggles came to a tragic end. Hoffman was found dead in his Manhattan apartment of an apparent drug overdose. He was 46 years old.
Upon graduating from NYU's drama school, Hoffman was lured into New York's drug scene – and knew instantly that he had to get out. He checked himself into rehab and got sober at the age of 22. He was then clean for 23 years before relapsing, when he underwent detox treatment in May of 2013 for substance abuse.
But despite his struggles, whether they be in real life or on the silver screen, Hoffman said that it was all about learning. He didn't often sit down for interviews, but Good Day Chicago's Jake Hamilton was lucky enough to have talked with him at the Toronto International Film Festival. The actor gave some insight into what life is all about.
"An actor's life is all about learning. We learn new things all the time. Just kind of a cool thing about being an actor," Hoffman said. "Trying to learn to play the piano – whether you're learning an accent or learning a language, I've learned many things. It's learning something, that's what somebody goes through. It's a very cool thing."
In Hamilton's experience, Hoffman was never an easy man to interview. He was often quiet and distant, and he made you work for a good answer. But Hoffman was a real actor, who had real things to say. There aren't many in Hollywood Hamilton can say that about.
While he may be gone, Hoffman's legacy lives on. What better way to remember his life than in admiration of how he brought life to others?
The silver screen flickers on. As long as it does, so will he.

Florida's 7th round selection in 2013 has 54 points in 58 games.
Jeremie Blain will be the #1 guy on Acadie-Bathurst's defense in 2011-12, a defense that will boast five returning veterans and goalie Robert Steeves. In limited action during 2010-11, Steeves outplayed Oilers' prospect Olivier Roy. If the Titan find some offense to go along with a stout defense, they will be an interesting team to watch in the QMJHL. Blain came in at #19 in our Top 25 Under 25.
He is certainly personable and charming. His stats are unimportant. If he can keep his nose clean, develop into a great two way player, and bulk up a bit, he will vastly increase his value to the Islanders. The Wings did something similar with Federov.
Feel good story about his visit to a local Head Start program. Kabanov returned to action last night against the PEI Rocket after missing nearly two weeks due to an undisclosed injury. He was held off the scoresheet in a wild 6-5 MAINEiac win that saw both starting goalies get pulled.
Jamie Tozer at Station nation was on hand for the opener of the Super Series and provides coverage. Edmonton prospect Olivier Roy played half of the game, allowing three goals on fifteen shots.
Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roy blames Guy Boucher for the QMJHL for being a more defensive league... And Guy responded to the accusations.
Su Ring, from Daily Su, and I are talking hockey. This is a weekly event, so bookmark the link. Oh, and we also have a CCPT Facebook Group for you to join as well. We'll have announcements on that page, and hopefully people will be making comments and suggestions for future shows. So even if this isn't announced every week, we will be on every Sunday at 3 pm Pacific, 6 pm Eastern, 11 pm British. See you there!
Join Cassie, Su Ring from Daily Su, and special guests: Flyers fan/writer David Strehle, Blackhawks fan/writer Claire Lewis, Paul Gheduzzi with an update on the Phoenix Coyotes situation, Raw Charge's John Fontana with an update on the Tampa Bay Lightning... and 3 Questions for Cassie! 3 pm Pacific, 6 pm Eastern, 11 pm British.
Here we go again kids. Come one, come all for some hockey talk. Today at 11 pm British, 6 pm Eastern, 3 pm Pacific with Su Ring from Daily Su.
Su Ring from Daily Su and I have started up our own hockey show. Join us for some discussions on the NHL, AHL, major junior leagues, international competition - basically, we'll cover whatever's going on as long as it's hockey-related. Su has already talked to some minor league hockey players that she's interviewed before, and they may stop in from time to time. For those who are new to this, there's a chat room going on as we broadcast, and you can download the podcast later if you miss it. (The chat room is only active and available during the broadcast, however.) Right now, the show is one hour long, but we may expand to two hours if there's enough of a demand. So from here on out, Su and I will be on every Sunday at 11 pm British / 6 pm Eastern / 3 pm Pacific. See you then!

Crazy Simple = Crazy Good
Just in time for the last hurrah of summer, I thought I'd share a crazy simple recipe favorite that is spicy and sweet, infused with curry. Because I love to mix up flavors (don't you?). I'm interested in how traditions influence, enhance and co-mingle. Perhaps because I'm an eclectic heritage bundle myself.
And vegans, don't assume this recipe isn't for you. In fact, I make a vegetarian version of this recipe all the time. Use drained canned chick peas in place of the bird- or slices of gluten-free tempeh- it's a fabulous meatless and budget-friendly option.
California update: I'm more than a little sorry to report that we have- officially- entered our final countdown phase, preparing for an ETD early Thursday. Over the next few days we'll be busy cleaning our sweet little Santa Monica sublet and packing up the Honda Fit to head east, back to rural New Mexico, back to the coyotes. Just in time for roasted green chile season.
Casa Allrich has not sold, you see. We lowered the price again. And Bubela, it's a rock bottom bargain, embarrassingly less than what we paid for it three years ago. If the Real Estate Goddess proves kind and merciful she will finally (after 26 months on the market) smile upon us, send us a buyer and grant our humble wish- to accept our losses and move on with grace and clear eyes open to a future centered in Los Angeles.

Chicken Curry Apple Stir-Fry Recipe
You'll need:
Heat a large deep skillet over medium-high heat; warm the light olive oil and curry seasoning. Add the garlic and stir briefly.
Karina's Notes:
Cut 3 split chicken breasts into tenders. Stir-fry with the vegetables until no longer pink in the center- about ten minutes.
My hummus makes a tasty condiment for Asian inspired stir-fries and brown rice.
If you like creative flavor combos, try my Peanut Chicken Stir-fry.
Karina's Art School Rice Recipe with Curry, Carrots and RaisinsPosted August 2009.
1 cup long-grain brown rice, rinsed
Combine the ingredients in a rice cooker and follow the manufacturer's instructions - or - combine the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil, cover; reduce heat to low, and cook for 40 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated.

Phil Hughes, after a fashion, matched Justin Verlander for three whole innings. He matched him on the scoreboard, with zeroes in each of the first three frames.
But in the fourth, Hughes first gave up a run and, just moments, was forced to retire from the game.
Delmon Young led off the frame, and cranked Hughes' fourth pitch over the left-field fence. Watch how quickly this one gets out!
Andy Dirks came next, and Hughes walked him on four pitches.
A flashing red warning sign? Perhaps. With Jhonny Peralta up, Hughes quickly got ahead in the count, no balls and two strikes ... after which Joe Girardi and the Yankees' trainer came to the mound. And a moment later, Hughes was on his way back to the dugout, apparently with a herniated lumbar disk in his back, a situation that's afflicted Hughes before.
Phelps had all the time he wanted to warm up, threw three straight balls to Peralta, but finally got his man on a fly to deep center field.
Alex Avila drove a single into right field, with Dirks moving to second base. But Phelps got Omar Infante on a fly to right, and the inning ended when Austin Jackson grounded into a fielder's choice.

TERA's guild vs. guild system leads to voter fraud in Vanarch elections
En Masse Entertainment's TERA features a unique political system that allows players to run for the office of Vanarch, but players have recently found a way to game the system in order to place themselves in power. The Vanarch is a position of power that allows players to control both resources and NPCs. There are three ways to gain the authority of a Vanarch, but one of them was found to be easily exploitable by players. The two legitimate paths to office, campaigning and completing some of TERA's most difficult quests, were overshadowed as the game introduced guild vs. guild warfare as a means to accrue political points. This was easily gamed as guilds created alternate versions of themselves in order to stage battles to fight and earn these political points. Perhaps "fight" is too strong a word. "Laid down and died to feed the main guild" would be more accurate. It was a strategy several guilds embraced with gusto, and the exploit was angrily described on the game's forums. "So it has become apparent that on many servers people have decided to form two guilds and feed each other 600 points daily," community member Devour88 said. "Currently on Valley of Titans we have Bloodline and Tsunami (a guild that has split in half and created an alt guild called Tsunami). They have been feeding each other points since 6pm PDT and are now leading two of the highest earning zones in the game (Zulfikar and Kanstria)." "Our question to EME is how could you let such a large loop hole go and what do you plan on doing to resolve the issue?" Devour88 asked. We tried to contact Brazilian guild Bloodline, which was one of the first and largest guilds to be named in the accusations, though no member of the guild had responded to Penny Arcade Report as of this writing. Brian Knox, Senior Producer at En Mass Entertainment, said his team has a fix in the works, and that while the situation was unfortunate, it presented a development opportunity for the game most don't have. "One of the reasons I love MMOs is that the community sometimes does the unexpected. It is fascinating to see something you created be used in a completely original and different way. It's the real reason I love this business and think that MMOs are a unique genre," he said.
TERA is an MMO that grows with its players
"We're trying to take an approach with TERA where we release game systems in a base state, then grow those systems with the community based on their preferences. The downside is that sometimes unexpected things happen that aren't good, such as what happened this week. The upside is that we can keep iterating our development and focus on what you guys love instead of holing up for a year developing a system that no one ends up liking," Knox said. TERA saw many such changes prompted by player feedback during the game's beta testing for the Western market, as the title was originally a Korean MMO. A prologue sequence featuring voiced cinematics and new quests introduced players to the story much like the Cataclysm expansion to World of Warcraft. Voice actor veteran Claudia Black lent her talent to TERA as the game fought to catch up to its more vocal competition such as The Old Republic and The Secret World. The Nexus added public quests anyone can join akin to those in Guild Wars 2. When Knox says TERA is a base slate that grows with its community, he has evidence to support his claim. "We would much rather have a system that grows along with the community as opposed to one that grows in our labs," he said. This guild vs. guild exploit for political gain is more evidence of those growing pains.
The state of the union in TERA
As for the political situation currently growing in TERA, Knox said the team is working to put a stop to it. The number of points earned from one guild per day will be reduced, from 600 to 100, and Knox promises the team will investigate claims of kill-feeding. Those guilty will have their earned points reset to zero. Knox also admitted the TERA team was aware of the possibility going in, but that they broke the golden rule of never underestimating the community. It's a decision Knox regrets, but that has ultimately been beneficial. "This experience reminds us that our community can deliver almost limitless effort—even when it breaks our stuff," Knox told the Penny Arcade Report. If nothing else, the fiasco has produced some interesting stories. One server decided they had had enough of the cheaters and convinced almost every other guild to band together and declare war. "I hear it was quite difficult for them to even leave a town," Knox said.
