A Florida chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has uninvited Rep. Allen West (R-FL) from speaking at an event after he insisted that up to 81 Democratic members of Congress were secretly members of the Communist Party.
The Martin County NAACP had invited West to speak at the Tuesday Freedom Fund Banquet but canceled at the last minute and said he would not be invited when the event is rescheduled for Sept. 15.
"There's a certain statement he made about Communists," Martin County NAACP President Jerry Gore told Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers, adding that West's campaign said it "understood" why his speech was canceled.
At a campaign event earlier this month, West had warned that Democrats in the Congressional Progressive Caucus were actually Communist Party members.
"I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party who are members of the Communist Party," West said. "It's called the Congressional Progressive Caucus."
But when pressed by CNN's Soledad O'Brien last week, the tea party darling refused to name names.
"Start naming the 78 to 81," O'Brien asked West.
"We don't have to," West said.
"We do," O'Brien insisted.
"You can go look at the Congressional Progressive Caucus," West replied. "Then you've got the names."
"[Minnesota Rep.] Keith Ellison is a Communist?" O'Brien wondered. "[Wisconsin Rep.] Tammy Baldwin is a Communist? [California Rep.] Judy Chu is a Communist?"
"You can call it whatever you want," West answered. "I'm calling it this: Communist, progressive, Marxist, socialist, statist — which is another term that's been used. I'm looking at the ideologies."

The Heartless are the main enemies in the Kingdom Hearts series and are living embodiments of darkness created when a heart is swallowed by Darkness. They reside wherever there is darkness, most prominently the Realm of Darkness. All Heartless act on instinct, seeking out even more hearts to consume and add onto their ranks. Though they have normally been seen controlled by Disney Villains in their appearances, the Heartless will actually ally with whoever is the strongest when two different forces try to control them.
Heartless, Emblem or Pureblood, possess several key characteristics that define them as Heartless. All Heartless are created when the darkness that resides in a person's heart consumes him or her, thus giving the darkness shape and form (this process occasionally forms Nobodies, which are born from the body and soul left behind when the heart is lost). Being born from darkness, they are mindless and act on instinct, their only goal to find hearts, and consume them to create more Heartless. But what they desire above all are the hearts of worlds, and thus they enter worlds in search of the way into the hearts of the worlds. When they consume these colossal hearts, the remains of the world form new worlds, such as Traverse Town and the End of the World.
Heartless, being formed from darkness, have varying strengths, depending on the amount of darkness in a person's heart. The darker the heart forming a Heartless, Emblem or Pureblood, the more powerful and more monstrous the resulting being will be. An exception to this is Xehanort's Heartless, who retained his human appearance for unknown reasons. This is a direct contrast to Nobodies, which determine rank according to the strength of the heart, and whose appearances become more human as they increase in power.
The Heartless, being mindless, usually have no master to direct their actions and instead act on the instinct to gather more hearts. However, there are some higher beings who can command them. Heartless will obey those with an affinity for darkness and a strong will. If many people attempt to control them, the Heartless will side with whomever is most powerful. Those with hearts, such as Maleficent, endanger themselves however, as the Heartless are attracted to their hearts and if they show weakness, the Heartless will not think twice of consuming their hearts.
On the other hand, higher ranking Heartless, like Xehanort's Heartless, can fully command other Heartless without endangering themselves. Also, Organization XIII is able to command them as well with their strong wills, but are not endangered of being consumed by them for their lack of a heart.
The primary weapon for destroying the Heartless is the Keyblade, as it is both specially suited for manipulating the bonds between heart, body, and soul which create Heartless, and it is the only object able to thwart the Heartless in their goal of devouring a world's heart. Thus, Heartless seek out users of the Keyblade, since the Keyblades are able to vanquish Heartless very effectively. Because of this, Keyblade wielders are under constant attack. However, in the absence of the Keyblade there are several other options. Magic is effective against the Heartless, as are magical weapons. In either situation, invading Heartless can be made disorganized by defeating the major Heartless which leads them, or the dark heart which attracted them to that world. While this does not by any means purge the world of its Heartless, it gives no small respite from their threat.
Pureblood Heartless
Pureblood are more common in places that are close to or saturated in darkness. Upon their destruction, they simply disappear in puffs of darkness, without a heart leaving its body.
Emblem Heartless
Emblem Heartless were originally created from machines that reproduce the process of a heart being consumed by darkness. Afterward, stolen hearts can become Emblems. Upon gaining more hearts, they become more powerful and multiply. They make up the majority of the Heartless enemies and bosses in both games.
Physical Appearance
Pureblood Heartless are natural Heartless, born from the darkness in people's hearts. They are ink-black in color, with yellow beady eyes. The original type of Heartless, and the most common. They are completely black with piercing yellow eyes and antennas, and have the ability to teleport by sinking into the ground and moving incredibly fast. Sora faces these species many times during his adventures, especially near the end.
Emblem are artifically created Heartless made in the Heartless Manufactory by "Ansem" and Maleficent. They are more common on the worlds within the Realm of Light, and usually mimic the shape of creatures or objects within that world. Unlike the Pureblood, Emblem come in multiple kinds of shapes and sizes, and have various colors with Xehanort's symbol branded on them to differentiate them from the Pureblood ones.
Kingdom Hearts
The Heartless appear to Destiny Islands as the invasion force of Maleficent, intending to consume its heart like the countless worlds that had fallen before the islands. Sora encounters the creatures when Riku opens the door to the heart of the world, causing the Heartless to invade and losing the world in the process. In the midst of the chaos, Sora obtains the Keyblade and is whisked away from the growing darkness in the world. When Sora arrives to Traverse Town, he encounters the Heartless again, but this time he is able to vanquish them with his newly-obtained Keyblade. Joining forces with Donald Duck and Goofy, Sora begins a journey to save the remaining worlds from the Heartless invasion, fighting against Heartless in many shapes and sizes.
Sora eventually learns that the Heartless are being used by Maleficent to capture the seven Princesses of Heart and open the door to Kingdom Hearts, so that she and her allies can rule over all worlds. However, when the group arrives to Hollow Bastion, Ansem, the Heartless' true leader, appears through Riku and reveals that Maleficent and the other villains were being used by the Heartless all along. In order to save the sleeping princesses, Sora then uses Ansem's Keyblade on himself, freeing the princesses' hearts but turning him into a Heartless as a result. Fortunately, Sora is returned to human form by Kairi's light.
After the destruction of Ansem during the former's attempt to open Kingdom Hearts, many Heartless begin emerging from the Door to Darkness. However, their escape is put to a halt when Sora closes and locks the door with the help of Riku and Mickey, who are stuck in the Realm of Darkness.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
The Heartless appear inside Castle Oblivion as pawns of Organization XIII.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Heartless appear as enemies hunted by Roxas to collect their hearts for the Organization in order to form Kingdom Hearts.
Kingdom Hearts II
Heartless are the generic enemies along with Nobodies in the game. Their reappearance, as Yen Sid explains to Sora, is because although Sora and company prevented a catastrophic invasion of the Realm of Light by Heartless, the Heartless are still a significant threat lingering in the worlds. The Heartless in this edition are important for both Maleficent and the Organization but for different purposes; Maleficent continues to use Heartless to conquer worlds, and Organization XIII uses Sora to release the hearts of every Heartless he destroys to create their own Kingdom Hearts.
Once Sora enters The World That Never Was, Organization XIII's home base, the artificial Kingdom Hearts is damaged when Ansem the Wise fails to encode it as data, causing hearts to rain down over the Dark City, spawning a great swarm of Shadows that swarm the castle while the Nobodies try to catch the falling hearts. Through a temporary alliance, Maleficent and Pete take on the swarm, sending Sora and company to defeat Xemnas, atop the castle. It is unknown what happens afterward, but due to the reappearance of Maleficent in later games, it is assumed that the Heartless were temporarily defeated.
Kingdom Hearts coded
Digital copies of the Heartless appear within the datascape of Jiminy's Journal, just as they had appeared in the real worlds. The digital representation of Sora's Heartless is the source of the datascape's bugs and serves as the game's final boss, but it is defeated by Data Sora and King Mickey, which repairs the journal.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
The prequel game reveals that before the Heartless invasion in the first game, Master Xehanort's demonstration the ability to summon Neoshadow to train his apprentice Ventus and Heartless within the Realm of Darkness indicate that the Heartless existed prior to Kingdom Hearts, although only the Pureblood variety was the only appearance of Heartless at the time.
After Aqua's imprisonment in the Realm of Darkness, she encounters several Darksides and decides to let them come at her due to her descent into despair. However, Terra's Keyblade and Ventus's Keyblade apear and destroy the Darksides, giving Aqua hope for escape, and fights her way through the realm and encounters many Pureblood Heartless.
Meanwhile, Xehanort creates the Emblem Heartless within Radiant Garden while experimenting on the heart, which leads to the creation of his Heartless, Ansem, as well as Organization XIII's founding members from the Nobodies of Ansem the Wise's apprentices who begin their plan to harvest the power of Kingdom Hearts. This begins the spread of Heartless to other worlds and become used by each world's respective villain, leading to the events of the first game.

Danny and BrieDanny paced back and forth clutching his swollen belly as Brie warmed the water in the birth pool. His contractions were about seven minutes apart and getting closer together each time they happened. He was actually more bothered by trying to walk with such wide hips swaying back and forth. He didn't know how girls could do it, and wasn't used to this female body shape even after over nine months of it.Danny and Brie by hipjasey
Danny and Brie were an odd couple. For one thing, Brie was tough and serious, yet also sweet on the inside. Danny could be easily mistaken for a lesbian. He had a bowl-shaped boyish haircut and a very feminine face. He wasn't muscular at all and had very narrow shoulders like a girl. But Brie had the most unusual attribute, for she was a witch, and had the power to switch one's gender or sex role. That is, she could take the genitals of a boy and a girl and switch them. In this scenario, the girl would be on top during sex.
And that's precisely what she and

Part one: The Doctor landed the TARDIS on an unknown planet under the illusion that he would receive information as to where the Black Guardian was.
But unbeknownst to him, someone was waiting for him.
Meanwhile, the Master waited and watched the the skies as he contemplated the deed he was about to do.
He sighed with an air of regret as this was something he didn't want to do but, he let his feelings get the best of him.
Not too surprisingly, the feeling wasn't so mutual for the Doctor as he still viewed the Master as an enemy.
Back in the Doctor's TARDIS, the Doctor was busying himself with switching off the controls and opening the doors when Nyssa, Adric and Tegan came out to the control room.
"Where are we now, Doctor?" Nyssa asked
"Hard to say...The planet doesn't seem to be on the scanner." The Doctor said
"Shouldn't we take a look?" Adric asked
"Why do you think we've landed?" Tegan asked
"Good point." Adric stated
Soon, the doors to the TARDIS opened and everyone looked to the

Finally, home once again, Jarik thought as his claws touched down on the enchanted wood of the large balcony. The moon was high in the clear night sky and his scales glistened in the moonlight. He slowly exhaled as his wings and claws retracted as he returned to his more human form. His pack slid off his body and settled on the ground. He knelt down and pulled robe from the contents. He slipped it on and stepped into a pair of slippers that waited for him in the doorway. He blinked as his eyes adjusted to the dim lights.
"Jarik," Cedric said as he stood from the desk, his arms wrapped around his body. He was dressed in a sleeping gown and dark circles had settled under his eyes.
"You were waiting up for me again," Jarik sighed as he gently brushed his fingers though the young man's dark, brown hair. He pulled his hand back and felt a oily residue on his hand. "Are you well? You look pale. Did Nyatar's brews not work?"

Greencastle-Antrim at Shippensburg: Game of the Week!
Greencastle-Antrim and Shippensburg play Friday night for the Mid Penn Colonial Division title. Over two thousand votes made this our Game of the Week for Week 9!
Here is a closer look at the matchup:
Greencastle Shippensburg 44.8 Points per game 35.9 121 First downs 110 318.9 Rushing off. 307.8 69.5 Passing off. 42.6 388.4 Total offense 350.4 +18 Turnover margin +17 7.4 Points allowed 10.1 70.4 Rushing def. 102.7 84.5 Passing def. 63.3 154.9 Total defense 166.0
On paper, the Greencastle-Antrim and Shippensburg football teams are mirror images. Both teams are hovering in the top five in the midstate in total offense, total defense, points per game and points allowed. The Blue Devils and Greyhounds have a combined 15-1 record, are a plus-35 in the turnover department and together have outscored their opponents by 505 points. G-A is No. 2 in the District 3 Class AAA power ratings, Shippensburg is No. 6.
But delve deeper into Friday night's key Mid Penn Colonial Division showdown at 7 at Ship's Memorial Park and you get the gut feeling that Greencastle is the clear favorite in this one.
Last year's 48-7 win over the Hounds certainly has something to do with that.
So, too, does the play of Greencastle's interior. The Blue Devil offensive and defensive lines are the biggest reason why they are off to an 8-0 start.
"For us to compete and play with them and beat them, we've got tomatch the physicalness of their offensive and defensive lines," Ship coach Eric Foust said. "That's the one thing we know for sure." In the standings, the winner of this one will be in the Colonial Division driver's seat. Greencastle is 5-0 and Ship and Gettysburg are both 4-1. "This is a championship game for us," G-A coach Chuck Tinninis said. "This is what you dream about playing in."
The G-A defense threw a blanket over Ship's standout running back Toddé Statum last year, limiting him to a season-low 28 yards on 12 carries. That was just part of a frustrating night for the Hounds.Foust said, "Last year there were a lot of things that fizzled out against Greencastle. We were coming off a tough loss to Northern and didn't come out and play good football in any way. We want to fix that and just play good football." Statumhas 1,137 yards and 19 touchdowns this year, but missed last week's game vs. Waynesboro with an undisclosed injury. He is 239 yards shy of breaking Bill Nickey's school record set in 1978-80 (3,526 yards).
Though Foust hesitated to say if the star back will play this week, it would be hard to imagine the Hounds, off to their best start since 1986, suiting up without him."Stopping the run is vital," Tinninis said. "They not only have Statum, but two other kids (Dereck Mills and Kasaun Shaffer) that can fly. They have a real big offensive line that is physical. It will be a big challenge for us."
There is no secret to what Greencastle will want to do on offense. In its five Colonial Division games, the Blue Devils have run 188 times and thrown 34 times.You can't argue with their success. Greencastle gained 1,796 yards in those five games and outscored its opponents 277-26. Tyler Szaflarski (822 yards, 9 TDs) and Denver Cordell (603 yards, 10 TDs) are the Blue Devils' thunder and lightning runners and quarterback Devin Schaeffer has become a major dual threat. "They have some talented backs, don't they?" Foust said. "The Cordell brothers (including Denton) seem to have come out of nowhere. Szaflarski is a big bruiser and Schaeffer is another weapon at quarterback." Ship's biggest improvement from last year has been the play of its opportunistic defense, which has cut its points allowed from 17.6 to 10.1 and created an area-high 25 turnovers. Cornerback Mills has shut down one side of the field -- opposing QBs have 33 completions against 18 interceptions this year -- and the linebacker corp (Branson Allen, Shane Witmer, Luke Allison, John Baker) has been a pleasant surprise. Safety Jeremy Musser has the speed to cover up any Hound defensive mistakes. "I saw some of this potential," Foust said. "A lot of guys saw significant time last year and this group worked as much in the weight room as any group we've had. They got what they wanted out of it." Tinninissaid, "They are very sound defensively and they attack the ball. As always, we need to be able to control the line of scrimmage." That's where Greencastle does its best work. Blue Devils-Greyhounds at a glance Game data: Greencastle-Antrim Blue Devils at Shippensburg Greyhounds ... 7 p.m. Friday at Ship's Memorial Park ... Mid Penn Colonial Division game. Teams: The Blue Devils (8-0, 5-0 MPC) roughed up Northern 43-0 last week ... The Hounds (7-1, 4-1 MPC) shut out Waynesboro 35-0. Series: Ship leads all-time, 12-11-2, but Greencastle won convincingly last year, 48-7.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

Peter Schiff Bullish On Foreign Stocks, Gold, And Silver
Euro Pacific Capital CEO/Chief Global Strategist Peter Schiff appeared on the FOX Business show Countdown to the Closing Bell last Wednesday. Host Liz Claman asked Schiff, who correctly-predicted the housing market crash and 2008 economic crisis, about where he was investing these days. He replied:
Well, my strategy has been the same for quite some time because I understand the problems that underlie the U.S. economy, how the Federal Reserve is exacerbating them in the name of trying to solve them, and so I want to invest abroad. We still favor equities, but I look at international equities. I look at value. I look at good dividends. And I want to own companies that are not dependent on the consumer…
A map was subsequently displayed that showed "Peter's Global Area Picks"- Australia, Chile, China, Denmark, Hong Kong, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Singapore, and Sweden.
Claman also brought up precious metals in the discussion. Particularly, silver. From their exchange:
CLAMAN: Let's put up the miners, because you feel that the miners now have an opportunity to really rise. Silver below $20 an ounce these days. That seems to me like a good buy because it's so cheap.
SCHIFF: Well, it did get as high as $50 a couple of years ago. But it started the rally from below $4. So, we're in a big bull market. We've been pausing for the last couple of years. But I think it's the pause that's going to refresh. I think what drove the metals market lower in 2013 was the false belief in a U.S. recovery, and the idea the Fed was through with QE, and that we were on the verge of a tightening cycle. None of that is true. We are slipping back into recession. Janet Yellen is going to launch an even bigger round of QE than what Bernanke launched. And this is going to be very bullish for gold and silver. But it's not going to be bullish for the U.S. economy.

'Osama Bin Laden' Demonstrates U.S.-Mexico Border Security A Joke
"'We strengthened security at the borders so that we could finally stem the tide of illegal immigrants. We put more boots on the ground on the southern border than at any time in our history. And today, illegal crossings are down nearly 80 percent from their peak in 2000.'

Some readers probably chuckle when I blog on a regular basis about the continued threat posed by terrorists from outside the United States.
"Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and so on and so forth- they're merely a fabrication of the CIA and the powers-that-be to keep us Americans in line."
Sorry, I don't buy that. There's plenty of people out there beyond our borders pissed at the United States for one reason or another (I witnessed it up-close for the first time in a graffiti-filled city square in Barcelona in 1999), it's not much of a stretch to think there are numerous entities that would love nothing more than to see America brought to its knees.
And one day, when some group pulls off the most significant terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, it's very possible they will have entered the country via the United States-Mexico border.
From James O'Keefe of the 2009 ACORN workers video-fame comes this Project Veritas investigation released earlier today:

NY Times Bestselling Author Brad Thor 'Very Fearful' Of Terrorist Attack In U.S.
Any readers ever hear of best-selling author Brad Thor? I first heard his name mentioned on TheBlaze website back in the spring. At that time, Thor- who's brand-new thriller Act of War was just released Tuesday- announced he was moving his family from Chicago, Illinois, to Nashville, Tennessee, because of violent crime and high taxes.
I spotted Thor's name again on Glenn Beck's site last night. Erica Ritz wrote:
After 9/11, New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor was one of a select group of individuals asked to assist the United States government in "war gaming" the next move of radical jihadists.
Why? Because he and other thriller writers had demonstrated an uncanny ability to predict events years before they occur. Thor warned of the NSA spying scandal in his book "Black List," and predicted the release of five of the most dangerous Guantanamo Bay detainees seven years ago in "The First Commandment."
So where does Thor believe we are headed next?
He told listeners of The Glenn Beck Program yesterday:
What chilled me was Dick Cheney recently saying that within the next six years, we're going to see a terrorist attack on American soil worse than 9/11. You know, with two-thirds of our border agents changing diapers and trying to feed these children coming across the border, that doesn't leave many to guard a border that- even at 100-percent strength- people were still getting through. I'm very concerned that the enemies of the United States are exploiting- because they exploit every opportunity to get bad actors into the country. And we already know Iran has lots of bad actors already in the country- Agents that are in place, waiting to be activated should the Iranians trigger them and tell them to activate.
I am very fearful that we could see some sort of terrorist attack in the United States…
As am I, Mr. Thor. As am I…

Chicago Public Grade Schools Offering Mariachi Classes Next Fall
Back before the holidays, there was talk in Chicago about mariachi music instruction being offered as an elective class in the city's public grade schools.
Apparently, it's no longer talk. From the website of Chicago ABC affiliate ABC7 last Thursday:
Next year, students at five Chicago grade schools will have the option of taking mariachi classes…
On Thursday night, the Mariachi Heritage Foundation held an event to raise money for instruments and workbooks…
Chloe Riley elaborated on the DNAiInfo Chicago website back on April 17:
Five Chicago public grade schools will have mariachi classes by next fall, a move that will require principals to add a full-time music position at each school.
The elementary schools include Joseph E. Gary Elementary in Little Village; Edward N. Hurley Fine and Performing Arts Magnet Cluster and Richard Edwards Elementary in Lawndale; and Davis Elementary and Calmeca Academy of Fine Arts and Dual Language in Brighton Park.
Mariachi classes will be offered at the schools as an elective, with students choosing between a traditional music class required by CPS or the mariachi program…
Back on November 20, 2013, I discussed the prospect of mariachi music being offered in the Chicago Public Schools. I wrote:
I don't know. I dig mariachi music and all, but as I blogged on August 30 in a post about the Chicago Public Schools mandating sexual and health education for kindergarten classes:
Back in September 2012 the U.S. Department of Education found 79 percent of Chicago Public Schools 8th graders are not grade-level proficient in reading and 80 percent are not grade-level proficient in math.
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
I wonder if CPS educators couldn't structure electives to strengthen students' reading and math skills, and offer mariachi lessons as a before/after school activity like what's already being done in some cases…
Taking some more time to think about that statement, on the surface it may have sounded good. But putting myself back into the shoes of a grade school student again, even the limited variety of subjects I had in a private school still made a big difference in me actually being able to deal with school… as opposed to hating it. As the kids in these five CPS schools will be required to take a music class as an elective anyway- with mariachi being a new option now- then what the hell. Adding five more bodies to the payroll might ruffle some feathers, but good music, good fun, and some fine musicians down the road from the looks of it…

Status Of West Coast Earthquake Early Warning System
The other week, I was pondering my options for "Resource Of The Week" on Survival And Prosperity.
Considering all the recent headlines about earthquakes, I decided I would look for some sort of earthquake early warning notification system for those living and working on the West Coast.
The best I could do was the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Notification Service (ENS), "a free service that sends you automated notification emails when earthquakes happen in your area."
A noble effort, but basically, no earthquake early warning system in place then.
What a shame, considering the warnings of numerous experts about the inevitability of a major trembler striking the West Coast of the United States down the road.
The foundation for such a system is being laid, however. From Tiffany Wilson on the wesbite of San Francisco ABC affiliate Channel 7 yesterday:
UC Berkeley has been working for years to build an earthquake warning system on the West Coast. The same kind of system that helped prevent Mexico's 7.2 magnitude earthquake on Friday from landing a bigger punch than it did.
California still doesn't have one of these systems in place. Last year, Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation that mandates California build one of these systems, however that bill did not include anything about funding…
Right now, the UC Berkeley Seismological Lab has a test version of what the earthquake warning system would look like.
The system would send an alert to your cellphone, giving you precious seconds to find safety.
[UC Berkeley Seismological Lab spokesperson Jennifer] Strauss says it would cost about $82 million up front to build and $12 million annually to maintain…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Wilson also added in her piece that Japan, Mexico, Turkey, and Romania have "similar or advanced warning systems" in place already.
In fact, viewers of one Mexico City TV program got to see the system work during last week's quake:
"Así sintieron el sismo en Foro TV"
YouTube Video
I really hope some sort of earthquake early warning notification system is funded and operational before the U.S. West Coast suffers significant loss of life, limb, and property from a major shake.

Chicago Public School Students To Receive Mariachi Music Lessons?
September 1987. I'm sitting in a Spanish class at the all-boys college preparatory high school I attend in a western suburb of Chicago. The teacher is going around asking different students why they chose Spanish for their foreign language requirement. One kid says, "I studied it in grade school, so I might as well continue on." A student of Mexican descent tells the teacher, "I can speak the language fluently, but can't spell if my life depended on it." My turn. I predict, "I think Spanish will be pretty useful to know in Chicago down the road."
Yep. I've used those 5 years of Spanish I took in high school and college an awful lot since that time, from speaking to people on the street to coordinating work with laborers to assisting residents/constituents in my former life as a public servant. And while I never envisioned it back in the late eighties, demographic forecasting leads me to believe the "Windy City" is well on its way to becoming "La Ciudad de Chicago."
An example of this transformation might be what Chloe Riley wrote on the DNAinfo Chicago website this morning:
Daily mariachi lessons could become a reality for select Chicago public schools due to one man's push to bring Mexican folk music into the classroom…
Last summer, [investment banker Cesar] Maldonado, 29, founded the Mariachi Heritage Foundation, a nonprofit with the sole purpose of expanding mariachi music education in Chicago Public Schools.
His goal is to target public schools with heavy Hispanic populations — he currently has his sights set on Pilsen's Benito Juarez and Orozco Academies, Gage Park's Irene C. Hernandez Middle School and Back of the Yards High School, among others…
"We look forward to partnering with the Mariachi Heritage Foundation, as this will allow us to offer students further diverse experiences in music education, exposure to multicultural content, and access to a well-rounded arts experience that is essential to a high-quality, 21st century education," [CPS spokeswoman Lauren] Huffman said via email.
From what I took away from the piece, schools wouldn't be responsible for fund raising for the program, and the mariachi instruction would take the form of a full-time class (elective).
I don't know. I dig mariachi music and all, but as I blogged on August 30 in a post about the Chicago Public Schools mandating sexual and health education for kindergarten classes:
Back in September 2012 the U.S. Department of Education found 79 percent of Chicago Public Schools 8th graders are not grade-level proficient in reading and 80 percent are not grade-level proficient in math.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
I wonder if CPS educators couldn't structure electives to strengthen students' reading and math skills, and offer mariachi lessons as a before/after school activity like what's already being done in some cases according to Riley?

Obama On Gun 'Control' Push: 'One Thing I Am Is Persistent'
On Thursday, May 2, 2013, Barack Obama joined his Mexican counterpart President Enrique Peña Nieto for a joint press conference in Mexico City, Mexico. Not surprisingly, the U.S. President talked about gun 'control' among other issues. From a transcript provided by the Chicago Sun-Times:
I do want to editorialize just for a second about gun control. As I think all your Mexican counterparts understand and as I talked about with President Peña Nieto, we recognize we've got obligations when it comes to guns that are oftentimes being shipped down South and contributing to violence here in Mexico.
But, frankly, what I'm most moved by are the victims of gun violence not just in Mexico but back home — like the parents in Newtown. And I said the day that the legislation that had been proposed by Senators Manchin and Toomey in the Senate — the day that that failed to get 60 votes — that that was not the end; this was the beginning.
The last time we had major gun legislation it took six, seven, eight tries to get passed. Things happen somewhat slowly in Washington, but this is just the first round. And when you've got 90 percent of the American people supporting the initiatives that we put forward around background checks and making sure that drug traffickers, for example, can't just send in somebody with a clear record to purchase guns on their behalf with no way of tracking or stopping that, when you had common-sense legislation like that that the overwhelming majority of Americans, including gun owners, those of us who strongly support the Second Amendment, all of us supporting, I believe that eventually we're going to get that done. And I'm going to keep on trying.
So I didn't mean to horn in on President Peña Nieto's response, but I just want to be clear that we're going to keep at this. One thing I am is persistent.

Massad Ayoob, Rob Pincus Defend Semi-Auto, Military-Pattern Rifles And "High-Capacity" Magazines
How many readers have heard this uttered during the latest push for more gun "control" in America?:
Americans don't need "fast-firing" guns with "high-capacity" magazines to protect themselves. Stopping a bad guy doesn't require all those bullets.
Such dribble often reveals two things:
1. The individual saying this watches way too much television and/or movies.
2. That person fails to comprehend that sometimes there's more than one aggressor involved.
This last point has been made exceedingly-clear to me these past couple of years in my observations of crime "south of the border."
Any readers remember my July 2011 post about a gang of criminals carrying out a violent home invasion against an American couple residing in Ixtapa, Mexico? Pretty graphic story, huh?
And then there's Fernando Aguirre of Surviving In Argentina blog-fame, who has mentioned multiple incidents involving more than one aggressor in his home country of Argentina. One story in particular stands out in my mind. From his survival-themed book The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving The Economic Collapse:
I also remember a forensic doctor that used to live in my neighborhood, who got ambushed by five or six men when he exited a restaurant. They did kill him, but he managed to kill four of them and he severely wounded another.
This doctor used to practice with his Glock .40 S&W at my local shooting range. I don't remember exactly how many rounds he fired during the attack, but I remember that it at least doubled the capacity of most revolvers.
"Home Invaders Shot in Self Defense"
(Security cameras catch armed Tucson resident thwarting home invasion)
YouTube Video
Recently, two well-known firearm and personal defense experts- Massad Ayoob and Rob Pincus- have come out in support of semi-automatic military-pattern rifles and so-called "high-capacity" ammunition magazines. Here are some comments from them in their defense of the guns and magazines which others are so desperately trying to ban/take away:
I can certainly imagine scenarios where I would need to have a lot of rounds. I can certainly imagine scenarios where I would need to have the capability of controlling those rounds through a semi-automatic rifle where I can fire those rounds quickly and accurately. Multiple person home invasions would be an easy example that could obviously happen to any home in any part of the country.
-Rob Pincus of I.C.E. Training, in an interview published on the WND.com website on February 27, 2013
In a world where the Good People With Guns often have to deliver several hits to neutralize even one Bad Person With Deadly Weapons, and in which there is often more than one attacker, anyone applying logical thinking can only end up shouting one three-word mantra:
-Massad Ayoob of Massad Ayoob Group, in a January 31, 2013, post on the Massad Ayoob on Guns blog on the website of Backwoods Home magazine
The cops are the experts on the current criminal trends. If they have determined that a "high capacity" semiautomatic pistol and a .223 semiautomatic rifle with 30-round magazines are the best firearms for them to use to protect people like me and my family, they are obviously the best things for us to use to protect ourselves and our families.
-Massad Ayoob again, in a December 29, 2012, post on the Massad Ayoob on Guns blog
When it comes to firearms and self-defense, these guys know what they're talking about.
More so than others who would have you "just fire the shotgun through the door" in an ill-advised attempt at protecting the home.

Which Central Banks Are Buying Gold?
If there's one question gold "bears" have a hard time answering, it's this:
If gold is such a "barbarous relic," how come central banks are acquiring it these days?
There's doesn't seem to be much doubt this accumulation is taking place. In fact, Izabella Kaminska wrote on the FT Alphaville blog on the Financial Times (UK) website just today:
What's more, the case for "gold" is increasingly being linked to future expectations that central banks and public authorities will continue to be large net buyers and borrowers of gold, rather than sellers.
The point is made nicely in this note from Moody's Analytics on Tuesday:
One strong positive for gold demand is purchases for the reserves of governments and supranational organizations. After many years of shedding reserves, net buying by the official sector reached 456 t last year. The desire to diversify from major currencies may continue to drive such demand…
So, which central banks in particular are acquiring the precious metal?
I recently received this month's edition of Peter Schiff's Gold Report (ROTW back on July 6, 2011) and the President and Chief Global Strategist of Euro Pacific Capital provided some insight. From the July issue of this free newsletter:
The return to gold is unmistakably the product of a strategic, not merely a tactical, shift in global central banking policy. Central banks in the developed world have now altogether stopped selling bullion. This was foreshadowed by their behavior over the past decade, when they sold even less gold than they were permitted to under the anti-dumping Central Bank Gold Agreements. Clearly the concern about dumping gold was out of step with the trend. But more importantly, central banks in the emerging markets have been buying gold by the truckload.
Since the financial crisis of '08, nations as diverse as Mexico, the Philippines, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and India have led the way back to gold as a primary reserve asset. Russia alone has added an impressive 400 tonnes of bullion to its reserves, most of it coming from domestic purchases. Mexico has added over 120 tonnes, including 78 tonnes from one mega-purchase in March 2011. The Philippines have bought over 60 tonnes, with 32 tonnes coming in as recently as March 2012. Thailand has added approximately 60 tonnes, and Kazakhstan just shy of 30 tonnes. Turkey amended its regulatory policy late last year to allow commercial banks to count gold towards their reserve requirements, adding over 120 tonnes to its official reserves. And bullion imports into mainland China through Hong Kong have been reaching all-time highs.
Finally, loyal US allies Saudi Arabia and India, in what is sure to leave particularly bitter taste in Washington's mouth, have been adding gold to their reserves by the hundreds of tonnes.
In short, the governments of emerging markets recognize that the global monetary order is on the verge of a reset. These emerging markets are the economic engines of the 21st century, and they're determined not to be undermined by Western fiat paper.
South Korea might also be adding to their gold reserves soon. I blogged on June 21:
The Irish precious metals firm also highlighted the possibility of South Korea buying more gold in 2012:
The Bank of Korea has said that its current gold holdings are too small and that the BOK may buy more gold this year in order to diversify its foreign exchange portfolio which is exposed to the dollar.
Eugene Kim, chief investment officer at the central bank's foreign-exchange reserve management group, said its gold holdings are "too small" given the size of its forex reserves, which stood at a record-high of $310.87 billion at the end of May, and that the BOK might buy more bullion this year.
Gold. A "barbarous relic" for sure.

U.S. Border Patrol Agents Shoot Mexican Citizen
Sounds like Mexico isn't too happy with "Los Gringos" these days. From the Associated Press Monday:
A Mexican citizen has been fatally shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents on the border with Texas in an incident that the Mexican government is calling a disproportionate use of force.
The Border Patrol said Saturday that agents had opened fire along the Rio Grande on the Texas-Mexico border after being pelted by rocks and having a gunman point a weapon in their direction from the Mexican side of the river…
"The Mexican government has said once again that the disproportionate use of force for purposes of immigration enforcement is unacceptable under any circumstances," the Foreign Ministry said.
"After being pelted by rocks and having a gunman point a weapon in their direction from the Mexican side of the river."
Firearm instructors routinely tell their students never point their guns at anything they don't intend to destroy/kill.
And last I heard, Border Patrol agents are permitted to use lethal force if they feel their lives are threatened. From the Borderland Beat blog back on September 4, 2010:
She [U.S. Border Patrol spokeswoman Rosalinda Huey] said agents are authorized to fire their weapons any time they feel lives are at risk, even into Mexico.
"As long as our agents feel their life is in danger, they are allowed lethal (force)," she said.
After this incident, I have to wonder if agents aren't given new "marching orders" along the lines of the following. From Perry Chiaramonte on the FOX News website on June 29:
Border Patrol agents in Arizona are blasting their bosses for telling them, along with all other Department of Homeland Security employees, to run and hide if they encounter an "active shooter."
It's one thing to tell civilian employees to cower under a desk if a gunman starts spraying fire in a confined area, say members of Tucson Local 2544/National Border Patrol Council, but to give armed law enforcement professionals the same advice is downright insulting. The instructions from DHS come in the form of pamphlets and a mandatory computer tutorial.
"We are now taught in an 'Active Shooter' course that if we encounter a shooter in a public place we are to 'run away' and 'hide'" union leader Brandon Judd wrote on the website of 3,300-member union local. "If we are cornered by such a shooter we are to (only as a last resort) become 'aggressive' and 'throw things' at him or her. We are then advised to 'call law enforcement' and wait for their arrival (presumably, while more innocent victims are slaughtered)."
This reminds me of a scene from the 1986 sci-fi film Aliens:
GORMAN: Apone! Look… we can't have any firing in there. I, uh… I want you to collect magazines from everybody.
HUDSON: Is he fuckin' crazy?
FROST: What the hell are we supposed to use man? Harsh language?
Hasta luego.

Life Imitates Cartoons: Net Migration From Mexico To U.S. Stops, May Have Reversed
I'll admit it- all I kept thinking about while reading the following was that (Comedy Central) South Park episode "Last of the Meheecans." D'Vera Cohn, Ana Gonzalez-Barrera, and Jeffrey Passel wrote on the website of the Pew Hispanic Center (a project of the Washington D.C.-based nonpartisan "fact tank" Pew Research Center) yesterday:
The largest wave of immigration in history from a single country to the United States has come to a standstill. After four decades that brought 12 million current immigrants—more than half of whom came illegally—the net migration flow from Mexico to the United States has stopped—and may have reversed, according to a new analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center of multiple government data sets from both countries.
The standstill appears to be the result of many factors, including the weakened U.S. job and housing construction markets, heightened border enforcement, a rise in deportations, the growing dangers associated with illegal border crossings, the long-term decline in Mexico's birth rates and changing economic conditions in Mexico…
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Border enforcement, deportations, and dangerous illegal border crossings have been part of the story for a while now. If anything, factor in the violence related to the drug cartels and one might think there's additional motivation for a Mexican citizen to head north.
So I wonder if the prospective Mexican immigrants aren't mainly concerned about the "changing economic conditions" going on in "El Norte" and are deciding they're better off staying put south of the border?
In which case, what does that say about us/U.S.?
You can read the entire report on the Pew Hispanic Center website here.
Quote For The Week
Mexico's President Calderon is very fond of pointing north when attributing blame for Mexico's ills, Norte, as in the United States. Going so far as to drag the US into his speech after the horrendous Monterrey Casino Royale attack
One point of contention is weapons.
For those a little slow in feeling his wrath, he recently unveiled a billboard created by using confiscated, crushed, weapons that read "NO MORE WEAPONS!". To assure there was no mistaking who was intended to receive the message, with great fanfare it was planted at the south border pointing to the US city of El Paso Texas…
The action was silly and not behavior one most would deem presidential. Perhaps a billboard on the El Paso side should have been erected, reading "NO MORE DRUGS!" made of crushed meth pipes and marijuana bongs.
-From an April 8 blog post by Chivis Martinez on the Borderland Beat blog. The weblog is "a reflection of the issues affected by crime and drugs along the border between Mexico and the U.S."
Thousands Of Iranian-Backed Hezbollah Agents Could Be Inside The U.S.
Despite ObamaCare and Trayvon Martin hogging recent headlines, the Iranian nuclear crisis continues. From Roberta Rampton (Reuters) on the Chicago Tribune website late this morning:
The Senate may soon consider a new package of proposed sanctions targeting Iran's oil revenues, Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Tuesday.
The sanctions would focus on foreign banks that handle transactions for Iran's national oil and tanker companies, and include a host of measures aimed to close loopholes in existing sanctions.
Back on March 15, 2012, I discussed the role Iranian intelligence (Ministry of Intelligence and National Security of the Islamic Republic of Iran, or MISIRI) might play in the event Iran's nuclear facilities were attacked by the West. I wrote:
Others think MISIRI could carry out terror attacks here inside the United States. Retired CIA veteran Michael Scheuer, who tracked Osama bin Laden as Chief of the Bin Laden Issue Station ("Alec Station") from 1996 to 1999 and later as a special advisor to the unit from 2001 to 2004, told Lou Dobbs on the FOX Business channel several days ago:
The Iranians don't have a military capable of conducting themselves on an even basis with the United States, but within the United States, within Canada, within Mexico, within the Caribbean area, the Iranians have an intelligence and terror apparatus that's perfectly capable of exacting revenge for them here at home. Much more than Saddam. Much more than Al-Qaeda. And although they won't use it unless they're attacked, I'm afraid they will use it if our Arab and Israeli friends go ahead and attack the Iranians.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Apparently, MISIRI loves company (just had to fit that one in somewhere), and word is getting out that the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah may have hundreds- if not thousands- of operatives inside the United States. Taking part in a Homeland Security hearing on Iran, U.S. Representative Peter King (R-NY) appeared on the CNN show Starting Point on March 21 and warned viewers of the threat Iran poses from within the country. He said:
Most Americans don't realize that Hezbollah has had agents and operatives in this country for many years. The conventional wisdom among intelligence and law enforcement officials was they were here for fundraising, for facilitation, recruitment, and not necessarily to carry out terrorist attacks. However, we do know that a number of them have been trained as terrorists. The question is, how quickly they can be made operational, and would they carry out an attack?
King added:
The American intelligence community… believes we are very much at risk for an attack by Iranian operatives- which would be Hezbollah. That is a terrorist-trained force in this country. It really is the "A-Team" of international terrorism, and far more sophisticated than Al-Qaeda.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
How many Hezbollah operatives are possibly inside the United States? The Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee says:
We estimate it to be at least in the hundreds, maybe the thousands, of Hezbollah agents here in this country.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
"King: Iran could be 'serious threat'"
YouTube Video
Staff at the Daily Mail (UK) added on March 21:
Mitchell Silber, the NYPD's director of intelligence analysis and one of the witnesses to the [Homeland Security hearing] panel, confirmed that said since 2005, New York law enforcement officers have interviewed at least 13 people with ties to Iran's government who were seen taking pictures of New York City landmarks. Police considered the activity to be pre-operational surveillance.
He added that New York's international significance as a terror target and its large Jewish population make the city a likely place for Iran and Hezbollah to strike.
In May 2005, Silber said, tips led the NYPD to six people on a sight-seeing cruise who were taking pictures and movies of city landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge. In September 2008, police interviewed three people taking pictures of railroad tracks. And in September 2010, federal air marshals saw four people taking pictures and videos at a New York heliport.
Interviews with law enforcement revealed that all were associated with the Iranian government, but they were ultimately released and never charged, Silber said.

Could Attacking Iran Unleash The 'American Hiroshima'?
Talking about what Iran might do if its nuclear sites are attacked brought to mind something I read several years ago. But before I go there, have you ever heard of the "American Hiroshima" threat? I blogged about it back on May 6, 2011. I wrote:
In 2005, Dr. Paul L. Williams, a journalist and author, published the book The Al Qaeda Connection, in which he discussed plans for a future nuclear terrorist strike, dubbed "American Hiroshima." He wrote:
Bin Laden asserts that he must kill four million Americans- two million of whom must be children- in order to achieve parity for a litany of "wrongs" committed against the Muslim people by the United States of America. The "wrongs" include the establishment and occupation of military bases between the holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia, the support of Israel and the suppression of the Palestinian people, the Persian Gulf War and the subsequent economic sanctions, and the invasions of Somalia, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Few military and intelligence officials question bin Laden's ability to carry out this threat. US, Saudi, Pakistani, Russian, Israeli, and British intelligence sources have confirmed that al Qaeda possess a small arsenal of tactical nuclear weapons- weapons that are being prepared for the "American Hiroshima."
Dr. Williams said later on in the book that several nuclear weapons are already in the United States and that the attack is planned to occur simultaneously on a number of major cities, including Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Washington, DC.
Spooky stuff. But back to what I was saying before about the current situation with Iran. On April 28, 2006, the following appeared on WND.com courtesy of Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin (FYI, Hamid Mir is a Pakistani journalist and terrorism expert who interviewed Osama bin Laden in 1997):
[Hamid] Mir said that he met with an Egyptian engineer last week who lost an eye after one of bin Laden's nuclear tests in the Kunar province of Pakistan. The Pakistani journalist said the encounter with the engineer greatly disturbed and depressed him since it provided further assurance that a nuclear nightmare for America is about to dawn.
Mir believes that an "American Hiroshima" will occur as soon as the U.S. launches an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
According to Mir, the terrorist group and Iran have a "secret relationship." The piece continued:
Mir's position that al-Qaida's nuclear weapons may have already been forward-deployed to the United States confirms the report of Sharif al-Masri, a key al-Qaida operative who was arrested in Pakistan in November 2000.
Al Masri, an Egyptian national with ties to [Ayman] al-Zawahiri, said that al-Qaida had made arrangements to smuggle nuclear weapons and supplies to Mexico. From Mexico, he said, the weapons were to be transported across the border and into the United States with the help of a Latino street gang.
Mir also maintains that numerous sleeper agents are in place in major cities throughout the United States to prepare for the nuclear holocaust. Many of these agents, he says, are Algerians and Chechens who obtained European passports and are posing as Christian and Jews.
He further says that many of these agents have been in the United States since bin Laden's issuance of his "Declaration of War on Americans Occupying the Country of the Two Holy Places." That fatwa was issued Aug. 23, 1996.
Talk of an "American Hiroshima" has increasingly disappeared in the years since 9/11. Doubters of the theorized attack argue that if Al-Qaeda had nukes in their possession, they would have used them already. However, if that capability truly exists (and I hope it doesn't), I can understand why the terrorist group might want to wait for an attack on Iran before bringing nukes into play. Retaliating against the so-called "Great Satan" with such devastating weapons in response to an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran could be a huge PR coup in the Muslim world at a time when Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia struggle to find their national identity and where exactly they stand with the West.

Iranian Intelligence Capable Of Terror Attacks Inside The U.S.
As the situation heats up in Iran over its nuclear program, I find myself wondering what they would do if attacked and how safe American interests and citizens would be both here and abroad. Some think the well-funded and equipped Ministry of Intelligence and National Security of the Islamic Republic of Iran, or MISIRI (love that acronym) would concentrate on American targets overseas. Ethan Bronner, Helene Cooper, and Thom Shanker wrote on the New York Times website back on February 29:
American officials who have assessed the likely Iranian responses to any attack by Israel on its nuclear program believe that Iran would retaliate by launching missiles on Israel and terrorist-style attacks on United States civilian and military personnel overseas.
While a missile retaliation against Israel would be virtually certain, according to these assessments, Iran would also be likely to try to calibrate its response against American targets so as not to give the United States a rationale for taking military action that could permanently cripple Tehran's nuclear program. "The Iranians have been pretty good masters of escalation control," said Gen. James E. Cartwright, now retired, who as the top officer at Strategic Command and as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff participated in war games involving both deterrence and retaliation on potential adversaries like Iran.
The Iranian targets, General Cartwright and other American analysts believe, would include petroleum infrastructure in the Persian Gulf, and American troops in Afghanistan, where Iran has been accused of shipping explosives to local insurgent forces…
An increase in car bombs set off against civilian targets in world capitals would also be possible.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Yesterday, it was reported that a number of terror suspects were apprehended in Azerbaijan on suspicion of plotting attacks against the U.S., Israeli, and other Western embassies in the capital of Baku. Randy Kreider wrote on the ABC News website Wednesday:
Nearly two dozen people are in custody in Azerbaijan for allegedly plotting terror attacks on U.S. and Israeli embassies in the Azeri capital of Baku on behalf of neighboring Iran, according to local and international reports.
Azerbaijan's National Security Ministry released a statement Wednesday saying it had arrested 22 of its citizens who were recruited by Iran's Revolutionary Guard to "commit terrorist acts against the U.S., Israeli and other Western states' embassies and the embassies' employees," according to The Associated Press and Agence France Presse…
During the arrests, officials found weapons and explosives, AFP reported. A local news outlet, Contact, reported the weapons seized included sniper rifles and pistols as well as grenades and grenade launchers.
Some of the suspects were recruited as early as 1999 and had trained in military camps in Iran, according to the Azeri statement obtained by AFP.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Others think MISIRI could carry out terror attacks here inside the United States. Retired CIA veteran Michael Scheuer, who tracked Osama bin Laden as Chief of the Bin Laden Issue Station ("Alec Station") from 1996 to 1999 and later as a special advisor to the unit from 2001 to 2004, told Lou Dobbs on the FOX Business channel several days ago:

Pretty much your run of the mill liquor store that carries a decent craft selection. Coolers against the right wall are filled with pretty much all the usual local suspects. Small bomber section and a modest import section. Warm sixers in front of the coolers. They have the ever trendy dark wood New Glarus end cap.
Service is typical for a liquor store. clerk looks up from his crossword long enough to make sure you don't have a gun.
Everything seemed reasonably dated. Not a destination but if you are in need of a craft fix it would do for sure.

"This is the second year I have ordered Christmas cards from TINY PRINTS. I LOVED BOTH CARDS. I also got a lot of compliments on them. Excellent quality. Excellent service. Excellent Customer Service. I have also bought thank you cards and return address labels. Everything has been of the highest quality. I will not shop anywhere else! Thank you TINY PRINTS!"
"This is a very cute retro-looking card. Quality of paper and printing was excellent without upgrades. We used a photo that had been "antiqued" in iPhoto and it looked great. we also got the rounded corners which looked great with the design. the only thing I didn't like was the "faux-mildew" on the back side of the card- an attempt to make it look like a postcard saved for decades, but kind of made the back look dirty. Overall, highly recommended for your out-of-state relatives!"
"I couldn't have been happier with the cards. (Took our family photo on a Sunday and received the cards on Tues.) The quality of the photo was excellent along with the paper the cards were printed on. It's also nice to have options with not only the layout but the desigh of the card itself. I chose a design that was 20 cents extra per card but it was worth it. Also, be aware of extra postage which is always stated. Being in such a hurry I missed that minor detail but again I was so happy to have cards that the extra postage was no big deal."
"I liked the cards a lot. We also used a different wash for the picture to give it an antiqued look, which is a new Tiny Prints feature that worked well. Did NOT like that 3 cards came with bent corners because they were dented in shipping. They were a bit pricey, and I might go cheaper next year, though you do get what you pay for."
"I was disappointed that I could not resize the inside photo once I put it into place. Your sizing was to a definite width that was a difficult ratio for my photo. I requested expedited shipping and 1/2 the order arrived late."
