Is military service good for you?
Did you know:
One active-duty service member in US military commits suicide every day.
One in ten prisoners in British jails is ex-military.
According to Department of Defense estimates, more than 19,000 service women and men were sexually assaulted in 2010 alone
Here is a link that might be useful: secret war
Is military service good for you?
Depends on the individual, for the most part.
"One active-duty service member in US military commits suicide every day.
One in ten prisoners in British jails is ex-military."
For those people, not a good idea.
The sexual assault situation outlined in the link is deplorable. Hopefully some good will result from this story.
About one doctor a day commits suicide in the US. Maybe we should get rid of doctors, along with the evil US military. Don't you just hate those people???
Our niece has spent over twenty years serving in the US Army, been to Iraq and Afghanistan God knows how many times. We probably put ourselves at risk from her latent criminality every time we let her into our home.
I was drafted during the Vietnam conflict (before the lottery) and I hated the Army. We had 17, 18-year old lieutenants and captains telling 30-40 year 50-60 year old sergeants how deep to squat and for how long. Not only was it miserable, it was depressing. A month after I got out, I had to go to the doctor for an ulcer. Maybe it's changed for the better, but I doubt it. The waste and mismanagement and bureaucracy were incredible.
Ron, I respectfully would like to correct you on the 17- and 18-year lieutenants. My ex-husband was a lieutenant who was drafted and served in Viet Nam. He was a college graduate and then received his training in Officer Candidate School and so was at least 23 when he became a second lieutenant. It took more than a year for him to become a first lieutenant and then to become a captain, which he actually never achieved since he opted to not stay in the army. There were officers who did not have college educations but they were tested and had to have a certain IQ level which allowed them to enter OCS, with boot camp before. With all the training they received I don't think any of them could have been officers much before the age of 20, and I actually never met one who was that young. One thing they all knew though was that it was the sergeants who really ran the army! The mismanagement and bureaucracy came from much higher up and frustrated everyone, including the younger officers.
Ingrid, my two officers in basic were 19 and 17 respectively...that's why I used those ages. I was 20 at the time and I was talking to the 17 year old who was from the high school in the next town from the one I attended. He graduated three years after me. When I commented to someone else after that conversation that's when they told me the other guy was only 19. Both these men were not college graduates obviously. In basic, they tried to get me to go to OCS but I refused. I got KP just about every other day because of that.
It seems incredibly foolish to have a 17-year-old, who is basically an overgrown child, lead men in combat. It's completely unfair to them and to the older, vastly more experienced enlisted men who were supposed to say "yes sir" to a kid who was barely shaving. I was just reading that a much greater than average number of these young officers were killed in battle, and that hardly seems surprising.
Your story is reminiscent of the situation during WW1 Ron where thousands were sent to their death by incompetent officers and it is this kind of situation where the individuality of military service flies out the window. Imagine even a small percentage of the 60,000 British soldiers who were killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme deciding for themselves whether to go or not! "You want us to run across an open field into machine gun fire, is that it? Nah not me." Most of those who died never fired their weapon.
This is a very hard question for me. Two out of three of my sons (actually 3 out of 4, counting my Sweetheart's son)have served, and lemme tell ya, I have such mixed feelings. Lots of points on one side, more on the other, and they don't cancel each other out, just fall on different issues. You are all, of course, talking about the U.S. army. For some of us, it's different, with a whole different set of variables, and no, I'm not sure it's a good thing at all, then I do, then I don't......Half the time I see my young men after serving and wonder, the other half of the time I'm enraged.
We did have a couple of threads on the issues Ink mentions. All sank like rocks, except for the one where it was mentioned that Republicans sought to stop legislation to adress rape in the military. That got defended.
Every country has its army (and if it's not your own it'll be someone else's). Thus, Military is a necessity. Good for you? Not so much. If you think it's good for you, you have a problem.
Military service wasn't very good for the 50,000 who died in Vietnam! What did we gain from that? What have we gained from subsequent military actions?
When my son was thinking of joining the military, I threatened(promised) to break both his knees before allowing him to go. I never regretted that promise.
He is doing great now and is not mentally or physically crippled.
I like the Swiss model where everyone gets trained and serves in the militia - then takes their weapon home and is on standby until someone invades them.
The author of the linked article is from San Francisco. She started out Every politician who has ever uttered the empty slogan "Support Our Troops"... that's as much of the article that I read.
I volunteered as an enlisted Marine in the 70's and went to Parris Island. For many of us it was the best decision that we ever made.
There were many who were weaned out:
-emotional problems--
-health or medical discharge ie cannot shave
-hardship discharge, ie death of parent
-physically unfit
Regarding commissioning of officers, the USMC has many different programs. Here are three requirements which were in effect in the 70's and remain in effect today:
-minimum of Bachelor's Degree (upon commissioning)
-must be a US citizen
-must be 18-28 years of age
I think volunteer military service can be of material benefit to many people, yes. Half of my family is in the military, and about half of those have seen combat. Thankfully, for them as individuals, I can say that they seem to have gotten more good from the experience of being in the military than not.
One of those folks though, is actually career military, very high ranking (I am being deliberatley coy to keep the post more anonymous) and has actually worked in what is essentially military HR. And I do have to say, there are some truly heartbreaking eventualities and dissappointments for many enlisted folks, even over and above the obvious of death or serious injury in combat.
In any case, with so many people I love so much having served, and with knowing thier motives were altogether noble in joining up, it is nonetheless always a tough subject for me to really think about the morality of being a soldier; of whether it can ever really be a moral choice to subsume one's free will to the decisions of politicians, and on so serious a matter as killing another/other human beings. How much does the motivation of wanting to protect one's family and country and the things one loves mitigate that, and other related ideas.
It's a subject that I have very little opportunity to discuss, obviously loving my family as anyone does, I would never want to hurt them, and I care about this question primarily because the idea of thier lives or thier goodwill towards other human beings being used carelessly by politicians who lack thier committment sends me into an utter rage, or as much rage as my pacifistic/defensive heart can muster. I try to never let them know anything but that I appreciate they wanted to offer a service to our nation, and that I am proud for them and thier individual accomplishments in thier chosen branches, because my worries will really not benefit them, and could of course, hurt them very badly.
In any case, thanks for the opportunity to post about some secret feelings near and dear to my heart.
Txangoddess--tough indeed.
I think the root of the problem is that the US army is a voluntary one, a job. I know there was a draft at the time of the Vietnam "war" (I can't bring myself to call this a war, attack would be the proper term instead) yet many managed to dodge it for the wrong reasons (cowards that they were. how many of the warmongers did serve? Next to none). If there was a draft today, it would be very difficult for the warmongers, if everyone was likely to suffer, people would think twice. Bring it back and no exceptions this time around, because without a draft it'll be a rich man's war, but a poor man's fight.
Tobr, I'd rather see peace engulf the globe, no need for military defense, and give up the forum...
While I see merit in the basic training aspect, insomuch as it teaches certain things, like respect and discipline, as examples... I see no merit in war, none in the military weapons industry, and none in forcing the ways of life from one nation to others. The destruction and loss are too high a price, and it's too sad to see how expendable certain classes of people are to certain others.
Cannon fodder is all that comes to mind most of the time particularly in that mess with the renegade south.
Or the trench warfare of WWI or Galipoli canon fodder.
Having no military experience I can't speak to the subject the lottery of death passed over me but ground up some of my Bronx buddies in Viet Nam either with ammunition or heroin & now they make sneakers for the world!
Joyeux Noel was on cable again This week in fact it's on again today a fictionalized account of a real event when soldiers actually stopped fighting in WWI for Christmas.
Sad when people like Cher or others have to raise funds to equip our troops well.

If the socks fits it's a labour of love! - On The Needles
I had to buy some new socks for myself this week and found quite a few for 50% off costing me less than 75 cents each. It made me realize and appreciate how much work and effort go into knitting a pair of socks. Much more than the cost of 75 cents. I finished up these socks for my son for Christmas and he loves them so much. I am appreciate too that I have people to knit and sew for who in return appreciate me back. It's definitely a labour of love which I am happy to do!
This is the one that I am working on now for my daughter. She is as bright and amazing as these socks!

Cactus Wreath - Work in Progress Wednesday
I have all the blocks done for my Cactus Wreath and now I need to put them together. Probably my least favourite part about quilting is trying to organize the blocks and arrange them in a pleasing way. I tend to save some scraps or extra bits in case I find I have a few blocks that are too similar.
I have also started working on socks for my daughter. I love the brightness and boldness of the colour. Socks are so nice to work on. Even doing a bit at a time makes you feel like you are getting somewhere.

I did not start too many new projects and most of those I got done. As always looking back on the year I accomplished more than I realized. I hope to continue that trend this year too!

Christmas Countdown
The Christmas countdown has been on for me for a while. I have been a busy Elf making Christmas gifts. It is a fun thing to do and puts me much more in the holiday spirit rather than buying lots of gifts which I need to do too.
One of my projects has been making this advent calendar. I love Snowmen and it was a sweet project to make. The panel was given to me by a friend to make for my children. I added some stars into the night sky for quilting. I think this will be a treasure for years to come!

Forward Momentum
I have started getting my momentum back. The first sock was done in a week and a half. That is pretty fast for me, considering the limited amounts of time that I have. It always seem to take the longest to get started, but once you do the ball keeps rolling! (Pun intended)! It feels like that is the same with life as well. I am looking forward to taking a break at Christmas and having time to spend with my children in our homemade socks.
My son bought this bag for me at his school with his own money. He gave it to me last week and I love it. It fits my sock project perfectly. My children are very thoughtful. Life is good!

Hard to let Go
As I near the end of a project I always find it hard to let go. After all the time, sometimes months that go into a quilt or project it is hard to realize that it will soon be over. Part of my quilting retreat focused on getting these projects done and letting them go. I also have a tendency to take my time getting labels on quilts that I make for myself. I am committing to getting all of my labelling done by the end of the year. The quilting retreat made me realize that it is time to let go and move on to other things. I am going to use this in my life as well.

TLC Sets Star-Studded 'Letters to Jackie' TV Movie (Exclusive)
The documentary will honor the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination and feature celebrities reading poignant letters sent to the then-first lady.
TLC is commemorating the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination with a poignant documentary called Letters to Jackie: Remembering President Kennedy.
The two-hour TV movie hails from Oscar-winning documentarian Bill Couturie and will feature 20 A-list celebrities reading poignant letters sent to the then-first lady in the two months following JFK's November 1963 assassination.
During that period, the White House received more than 800,000 condolence letters from everyday Americans, including a polio-stricken 13-year-old offering words of strength for the first lady, a Peace Corps volunteer who mourns the loss while stationed in Ethiopia and a black woman who expressed her pride and gratitude for President Kennedy's work in the civil rights movement.
"Letters to Jackie: Remembering President Kennedy is a beautiful and moving tribute to a nation at a time of mourning. While the national lost its president, Jackie Kennedy lost her husband and the father of her children, and these letters explore how some of the most relatable moments can happen during such a remarkable time," TLC GM Amy Winter said.
PHOTOS: 22 of Hollywood's Best Presidents in Movies and TV
Actors poised to read the letters as part of the film include Demian Bichir, Jessica Chastain, Chris Cooper, Viola Davis, Zooey Deschanel, Kirsten Dunst, Anne Hathaway, Allison Janney, John Krasinski, Melissa Leo, Laura Linney, Frances McDormand, Chloe Moretz, Mark Ruffalo, Octavia Spencer, Hailee Steinfeld, Channing Tatum, Betty White, Berenice Bejo and Michelle Williams.
"It has been a honor making Letters to Jackie, and we are beyond proud to share these stories of how America came together and offered their support and beautiful words with Mrs. Kennedy, and honored the legacy of a president renowned for his work with civil rights, foreign affairs and social programs. Now, the entire country can experience this incredible moment in history through its premiere on TLC," Couturie said.
Amblin Television and the Couturie Company co-produced Letters to Jackie. Amblin's Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey executive produced the entry, which was written, directed and produced by Couturie and based on Ellen Fitzpatrick's book Letters to Jackie: Condolences From a Grieving Nation.
Couturie earned an Academy Award for his 1989 documentary feature Common Threads: Stories From the Quilt, which featured a collection of profiles of those remembered as part of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. His 1991 documentary short Memorial: Letters From American Soldiers was nominated for best documentary short subject.
The pic will air in the fall timed to the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination.

Join My Humble Sissy
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
The guys on My Humble Sissy are horny, hard and ready to fuck and half of them are dressed like ladies. Despite being sissified, these guys still have their horny needs and their lovers are sure to see to them. It's all about man-on-man-in-the dress action.
MyHumbleSissy is a relatively small site that shows a lot of potential despite its rather diminutive size. It has a nice design and it's easy to navigate, so it's easy to hop right in and start enjoying the content. Unfortunately, there are only 25 videos and 13 sets of pictures to be enjoyed at the moment.
Both the vids and pics bring us scenes in which guys dressed like women from head to toe end up getting down and dirty with fully masculine men who are eager to taste some dick and bury their cocks deep inside an ass. The guys all end up going at it hardcore and some of the luckier ones come out of the experience with a bum full of cum.
The movies aren't in English, but you don't need to understand what's being said to appreciate the scenes. That said, the flicks come with subtitles, so you'll be able to follow along regardless. It's a little less awesome that you can't download the videos. Instead, you're stuck streaming them in Flash, but they look excellent.
Unlike the videos, the pictures can be downloaded. If you want, you can save the high-res images individually, but you're really better off downloading entire photo galleries in Zip files. It's a lot more convenient and it'll save you a lot of time.
When it comes to updates, things get a little messy. The dates are current, but the numbers haven't really changed (the vids have increased by one and the photo galleries have remained the same), so I want to say that they're rotating content. Given that there isn't all that much to see to begin with, this isn't what you want to see.
There are extras to keep you entertained, but be aware that none of it is gay-themed. You can check out additional vids and pics and explore eight bonus sites as well. There is one crossdressing site called My Sissy Boyfriend, but it shows girls who like to make their men crossdress.
There isn't much content here in the end and the overall numbers don't seem to reflect much growth, but that's not really the reason why I wouldn't recommend joining. For me, My Humble Sissy isn't worthwhile, because none of the vids can be downloaded.

Iron Range mine's restart date pushed back two months
DULUTH - Workers at ArcelorMittal's Minorca Mine have been informed that production of iron ore pellets there will resume Oct. 1, two months later than earlier expected.
The taconite-processing facility located just north of Virginia earlier was expected to restart Saturday. Now, with its restart date pushed back to Oct. 1, many of the operation's 300 employees probably will return to work Sept. 27.

Obama Plans To Sneak Through Carbon Tax By Stealth
Job killing, economy wrecking, middle class destroying consumption tax to be added in lame duck session after November elections
Paul Joseph Watson
President Obama is planning to sneak through his job-killing, economy wrecking carbon tax by stealth according to the Washington Post, by passing a weakened bill and then adding in cap and trade provisions after the heat is off following the November elections.
Described as the "lame duck climate strategy," Obama is planning to secure enough votes in the Senate to pass a weakened energy bill and then drag out the conference long enough to ensure the stronger provisions contained in the original House version are added "after lawmakers have faced voters in November, thereby cushioning the vote's political impact."
"Several sources familiar with the administration's thinking confirmed it has started pressing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to bring up a slimmed-down energy and climate bill next month. Such a measure would pass more easily than a comprehensive climate bill, and could still be negotiated with the broader bill the House passed a year ago,"
reports the Washington Post.
Knowing that the "energy bill" represents nothing less than another massive plunder of the American taxpayer and is widely unpopular, Senators will only stab their constituents in the back and vote for the more nightmarish aspects of the legislation, including a tax on the very substance they exhale, after they have secured their seats in November.
As we highlighted last week, plans to impose a carbon tax on American citizens appeared to fade after Republican Senator Lindsey Graham shockingly reversed his views on climate change, telling a press conference that the science behind man-made global warming is in question and those pushing it are alarmists who have oversold the problem.
"The Senate is expected to try and push a watered down bill with the hope of moving towards a carbon tax later on,"
we reported on June 10
, which is exactly the approach now being adopted by Obama.
The elite are still desperate to impose a consumption tax on Americans as part of the move towards a "post-industrial revolution" and the kind of nightmare "green economy" that has left Spain with a 20 per cent unemployment rate.
In a so-called green economy, over 2.2 jobs are lost for every "green job" created.
The EPA has been busy floating propaganda about how Obama's cap and trade legislation would cost Americans an average of $79 to $146 per year. In reality, as we have documented, the stronger provisions of the bill would see around $2.9 trillion shaved off the economy by the year 2050 if enacted.
The legislation would also reduce GDP by 6.9 percent
-- a figure comparable with the economic meltdown of 1929 and 1930.
A carbon tax would impact almost every aspect of Americans' lives, from higher gas prices, to soaring utility bills, to exorbitant excesses related to the "energy efficiency" of their homes. It would be enforced by an army of environmental regulators and green police poking their noses into the private affairs of citizens.
The government has aggressively exploited the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico
to manufacture an artificial urgency in an effort to speed the passage of cap and trade,
an agenda firmly supported
by the transnational oil corporations Obama is claiming to be reigning in.
British Petroleum is one of the founding members of the cap and trade lobby
, and has consistently "lobbied for tax hikes, greenhouse gas restraints, the stimulus bill, the Wall Street bailout, and subsidies for oil pipelines, solar panels, natural gas and biofuels."
Yesterday, White House spokesman Ben LaBolt invoked the oil spill disaster to justify passage of the carbon tax bill.
"The tragedy in the gulf underscores the need to move quickly, and the president is committed to finding the votes for comprehensive energy legislation this year," said LaBolt.
Obama himself even went to the extreme
of comparing the oil spill to 9/11, proving that he is perfectly willing to exploit the horror of nearly 3,000 dead Americans in a completely unrelated event nine years ago to underhandedly push his political agenda.

Arizona Senate ejects redistricting chair, throws map into chaos

Following through on an earlier promise not to stay silent on Arizona's new congressional map, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer threatened to impeach members of the independent commission that drew the map.
Brewer's threat marked the latest scuffle in the partisan saga over Arizona's map, which the GOP has called gerrymandered and Democrats have called a return to a fair, competitive state of play after years of disproportional Republican influence.
Invoking the so-called "nuclear option," Brewer gave the five commissioners until Monday to respond to a litany of allegations she has lodged against them. Unless Brewer is pleased with their response, she can initiate impeachment proceedings, which would stand a major chance of securing the two-thirds majority needed to clear the Republican-controlled state Senate.
If commissioners or their chairman are impeached, the delicate map-drawing process would likely start over from scratch.

The new map for congressional districts in Texas signed by Gov. Rick Perry (R) discriminates against Hispanic voters, the Department of Justice said in a federal court filing.
The Obama administration is opposing implementation of the map and asking the court to stop it. The filing followed a review of the map by the federal attorneys that found that almost one-half million Hispanics would live in districts where they would be unable to elect a minority candidate.
"The state chose not to propose any new additional minority ability-to-elect districts and removed hundreds of thousands of minority voters from districts in which they could elect candidates of choice," even though Texas is getting four new House seats due largely to Hispanic population growth, the Justice Department wrote. "This suggests both possible dilution as well as possible retrogression of minority voting strength in Texas."
Texas is one of many states still completing the once-per-decade redistricting process that follows the U.S. Census. Under the Voting Rights Act, the federal government has oversight authority over maps in states with a history of discriminating against minorities through the voting process.

The new congressional map released by Arizona's bipartisan redistricting commission appears to give Democrats a major boost, buttressing some Democratic seats, making some Republican seats more competitive and heightening the prospect that sitting Republicans will go head-to-head in 2012.
"It's Democrats' dream map. It means Democrats have a shot at five districts, whether or not Obama is winning or losing reelection," said David Wasserman, House editor for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.
Three Democrats and five Republicans currently represent Arizona, but the state is gaining a seat due to population growth since the last census one decade ago.
The new 9th district will include parts of Phoenix and part of the city's suburbs, and is almost evenly split among Democrats, Republicans and independents. It will include the home of Rep. Ben Quayle (R-Ariz.), but he is expected to depart that district for the more Republican 6th district, where he could face a primary contest with Rep. Dave Schweikert, another freshman Republican who has already told supporters he plans to run there.

Political leaders in Idaho have two days in which to scramble to appoint six new members to the state's redistricting commission, thanks to a 2009 law barring previous commissioners from serving again.
After the commission missed an early September deadline to settle on a new map for the state's legislative and congressional districts, panel members expected the state Supreme Court to call them back to finish the process. But a rule preventing members from serving twice prevented that from happening, even though the first go-around yielded no results.
Idaho has only two congressional districts – both held by Republicans – so redistricting shouldn't have too much of an impact. But the contentious and unsuccessful first attempt by the commission parallels the difficulties bipartisan panels have had in other states where redistricting isn't handled by the Legislature.
Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa has instructed those responsible for appointing the members - top Democrat and Republican in the state House and Senate and the heads of the two parties - to have their selections in by Wednesday. Those new members should be prepared to get to work by the following Monday morning.
"We're strategizing right now, and not sure how we're gong to proceed just yet," said Jonathan Parker, executive director of the state GOP.
The do-over sparked concerns that a drawn-out process could run up against election deadlines, but Parker said if both parties are willing to compromise, they should be able to reach agreement fairly quickly.
After the 2000 census, the dividing line between the two districts, which runs through Boise, was moved slightly to the west but didn't dramatically change the political makeup of the districts.

Two prominent Latino groups have released proposed redistricting maps for Colorado, further complicating a process that could have a dramatic effect on the partisan makeup of the state's congressional delegation.
The Colorado state legislature was unable to come to a consensus on a new map earlier this year — Republicans hold the state House, while Democrats control the Senate and governor's mansion — so the redistricting fight has been thrown to the courts. Each party has submitted a new set of proposed districts, and outside interest groups now have the opportunity to submit proposals.
Courts are traditionally sensitive to civil-rights groups in redistricting battles, giving the Latino Forum and Colorado Hispanic Bar Association — the two groups who filed a proposal Friday — particular clout in the fight.
The map would move the San Luis Valley and Pubelo areas out of the 4th congressional district, while Larimer County — one of Colorado's most politically active, and politically independent, areas — would be incorporated into the liberal Boulder district. Practically, those shifts would likely reduce Democratic chances against incumbent freshman Rep. Cory Gardner, who won his seat from a Democrat in the tea party takeover of 2010, but squeeze Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, who currently represents Colorado Springs, into a more competitive district.
Republican plans would largely keep the current districts intact; the GOP controls four of Colorado's seven congressional districts. Democrats have proposed a more dramatic shift that would move more than a third of Colorado's population into new districts. Under their plan, Republican Rep. Mike Coffman's safe seat in the Denver suburbs would become a toss-up.
Colorado remains a true swing state in the country, with a rapidly changing population and eclectic mix of citizens aligned outside traditional political categories. Because of its swing-state status — and the relatively high turnover of Colorado's congressional districts — even modest changes to the map could have significant electoral consequences.
Congressional boundaries must be redrawn every 10 years to reflect population shifts measured by the U.S. Census.

Several incumbent lawmakers face uncertain futures and potential match-ups against fellow members under California's new map of congressional districts, which has been all but finalized.
Democrats are likely to pick up one to three seats under the redistricting plan, but the map could have more far-reaching consequences — a slew of competitive House races in the state over the next decade.
The biggest factor is the uncertainty: Lawmakers will be running in districts that have suddenly become competitive, and will have to introduce themselves to new constituents added to the voter rolls because of the shifting boundaries.
"It's much more volatile," said Tony Quinn, a redistricting expert who advises Republicans. "Nobody's ever run a campaign in these seats for Congress when they were competitive."
The chaos was caused by the new bipartisan California Citizens' Redistricting Commission, which was created by a ballot proposition last year to undo California's heavily gerrymandered congressional and state House maps.
The map has yet to be finalized, but strategists from both parties don't expect much to change before they are released this Friday. There will then be a two-week waiting period before the map is officially approved by the commission. No one expects the commission to vote down the map, or that any group will challenge it in court.
University of California-Berkeley Professor Bruce Cain has identified 13 districts that could be in play under the new map. That stands in stark contrast to California's current congressional boundaries: Of the state's 51 seats, only one has changed parties in the last decade.
At-risk House members include Democratic Reps. Howard Berman, Lois Capps, Janice Hahn and Laura Richardson, and Republicans David Dreier, Elton Gallegly and Ed Royce, all of whom will have their districts drastically altered.
Royce and Berman are in the most danger, as their districts all but disappeared in the new map and they don't have a logical place to move to for a new run. Royce may challenge Rep. Gary Miller (R-Calif.) for a seat that has a small part of his current district. Berman may challenge Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) in a district that contains many more of Sherman's voters than Berman's or could run further west in a Hispanic-majority seat.
Dreier is also at high risk — his current Republican-leaning district becomes a Democratic-leaning one, and a fast-growing Hispanic population means that even if he manages to win next year, the area could become harder and harder to hold in subsequent elections.
Hahn, who just came into office in July's special election, has said she might run in a heavily African-American district in Compton, which could put her in a primary against Richardson, an African-American lawmaker. Richardson has faced tough primaries before, but she's also facing questions about allegations she required staff members to work campaign events, which is a violation of federal law.
Capps and Gallegly hail from the same centrist area north of Los Angeles, but their districts were gerrymandered to be safe. Now they are both toss-ups. Capps will likely face former Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, a Republican with a half-million dollars in his campaign account.
Other incumbents who should be concerned include Democrats Linda Sanchez and Jim Costa, and Republicans Brian Bilbray, Dan Lungren and Mary Bono Mack.
Costa's seat becomes about 10 points more Republican, and while it still leans slightly Democratic, the Hispanic voters he relies on often don't always show up in midterm elections. There are rumors he might move north to run for the seat of his good friend, Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D), who could be considering leaving Congress.
Lungren's district still leans Republican but is not quite as red as it used to be. The four-term lawmaker has faced tough races the past two elections and is an underwhelming campaigner and fundraiser. Physician Ami Bera (D) came within 7 points of beating him in 2010, a Republican year, and is one of Democrats' top fundraisers so far. Assemblywoman Alyson Huber (D) is also eyeing the seat, and both Democrats and Republicans say she could be formidable.
Sanchez will have to run in unfamiliar territory east of her current district, in an area that is not as liberal.
Bono Mack's district remains Republican-leaning, but she has faced serious challengers the last few elections as a large number of Hispanics have moved into the area. While she will have the edge in any race and is known as a centrist, if the demographic change in that part of the state continues, she could face tough competition in future elections. One thing working for her: The commission created many new Hispanic-majority House and state House seats nearby, which would be more attractive for up-and-coming Democrats in the area.
The map also resulted in at least one retirement. Democratic Rep. Bob Filner will leave the House to run for mayor of San Diego — the map would make his district heavily Hispanic and he would likely have faced a tough primary challenger.
Adding to next year's election confusion, another proposition California voters passed creates a "Jungle Primary," where the top two vote-getters in the first round go on to the final round, meaning two Democrats or two Republicans could square off in a general election.
This new law and the new map could combine to make politicians of both parties seek the center.
"It presents an opportunity for the Republican Party to alter its course … and do what the Bush wing of the party has been wanting to do and nominate some moderate Republican Hispanics that can win in places like the Central Valley and Inland Empire," Cain said.
Quinn agreed that the reforms "actually worked" in creating more seats where centrists can win. "The Capps seat and the Gallegly seat, and this new Riverside seat, invite moderates to run," he said. "The same thing is really true in this Dreier seat."

Williams questions NFL's discipline
Saints were punished, but what about Giants?
NEW ORLEANS -- Kyle Williams can't believe the New York Giants weren't punished by the NFL for targeting him in last year's NFC championship game.
The punt returner whose mistakes cost the 49ers a chance to make the last Super Bowl, and who will miss Sunday's game against Baltimore with an injured left knee, said Wednesday he is "shocked" that the Giants escaped discipline.
"The only thing crazy to me was that nothing came of it after they came down so much on the Saints," Williams said.
"The league announced the bounties and that (former Saints defensive co-ordinator) Gregg Williams said the same things the Giants were saying. They took it to the highest level they could with the Saints. But it seemed like the league decided it was no big deal what the Giants said."
What Giants special-teamers Jacquian Williams and Devin Thomas said after New York's 20-17 overtime victory sounded similar to what the Saints were sanctioned for.
"The thing is, we knew he had four concussions, so that was our biggest thing was to take him out of the game," said linebacker Jacquian Williams, who forced the 49ers returner's overtime fumble, which set up the winning field goal.
Thomas recovered both errors -- the first was considered a muff when the ball glanced off Williams' right knee.
"He's had a lot of concussions," Thomas said. "We were just like, 'We've got to put a hit on that guy.' "
The NFL did not punish either player following that game, saying, "There was no conduct by the Giants of any kind that would suggest an effort to injure Kyle Williams in any way."
And the Giants were not penalized once the Saints bounties were announced.
"Guys are trying to put guys out of the game every game, so it did not surprise me," Kyle Williams said. "You know a guy has a history of injuries, you'll go after it. You might not say it, but you do it."
But the Giants said it.
"Yeah," Williams said with a shrug. "But it's all in the past now. And we're at the Super Bowl."
The Giants declined to comment Wednesday.
Williams also was subjected to hateful, even threatening comments via social media after the 49ers lost the conference championship game. He talked with his father, Kenny, the executive vice-president of the Chicago White Sox, and was comforted by his dad's advice.
"He told me that a strong man gets through this," Kyle Williams said. "He said, 'I have no doubt you will,' and that's the last time we talked about it."

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I have to say people who are saying these headphones are as good as the more expensive ones must be tone deaf or something. They are good headphones but are not worth more than $30. I bought mine for around $23 cause the store offer a discount. Sound quality is good for most people, the headphones do not isolate outside noise as you might imagine, you can easily hear what's going on around you when the volume is low. The bad thing is these do not come with the extension cable so you'll need to buy an extension if you plan to use these with anything other than a portable MP3 player cable is only 4ft enough to go from your head to your waist. Good news is it is very light, which makes it feel cheap but perfect for portable use. They also seem very delicate with the thin metal wires and plastic construction, but I can't judge on that as I've only had them for a few days now. Bottom line if you are looking for audiophile sound quality and something that feels like it's built well spend the money on the expensive stuff. If you want a good set of headphones you won't feel bad about abusing, letting your kids use them or losing them then get these, perfect for work.

The game looks great! Reminds me of the game Marble Blast Ultra, just another version of it. But i must say the game was made very nicely!
Game Review on Nov 13th, 2011 - 1 person agrees 1 person doesn't
Hmm... Interesting, the style of gameplay changes through the game, with 2d movement and also a first and third person view. This game is great and would definitely be worth trying out.

Drinking alcohol occasionally is not really bad for general health. In fact, drinking a glass of wine each night can actually minimize your risk for developing cardiovascular diseases. However, the problem is that people do not really know what is moderate drinking. In fact, many young adults are so fond of binge drinking, thinking that their bodies are impervious to the bad effects of alcohol. Well, according to experts, one alcohol drink a day is considered as moderate drinking for women above the age of 65. Meanwhile, for men over 65, having two alcoholic drinks daily is still moderate drinking. Always remember that overconsumption of alcohol can have long term repercussions in the body. So, watch out for the following side effects.
One of the adverse effects of intoxication is injuries or even death. Occasional binge drinking may not have a direct backlash on your general health. However, this could lead to injuries and accidents. In fact, 60% of burn injuries, homicides and drowning are related to alcohol drinking. Whether you believe it or not, alcoholic drinks can impair motor skills and mental faculties of a person. Many people have died because of individuals who are grossly irresponsible to drive under the influence of alcohol.
Women should also be careful when it comes to overconsumption of alcohol. It is worth noting that heavy drinking during pregnancy can cause birth defects, such as brain damage and other serious conditions to the baby. The problem is that there are quite a number of women who only realize that they are pregnant when they are already in their second or third month of pregnancy. For the sake of your general health and that of your baby, it is advisable for you to skip alcoholic beverages if you think that you are pregnant.
Lastly, alcohol abuse and binge drinking can have ill effects on a person's general health condition. Aside from liver diseases, individuals who drink too much have higher risks of developing chronic sleep disorders, heart diseases, stomach bleeding, stroke, depression, and some types of cancer. Since quite a number of people who are intoxicated engage in unsafe sex, too much alcohol can also indirectly spread sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancies and even AIDS. Meanwhile, those who are already suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, liver problems, and other serious illnesses should stay away from alcohol abuse. People who drink too much alcohol find it quit hard to manage such diseases.

Thursday, January 24, 2013
Not too much time to blog tonight. I took some time to visit my friends blogs, read some articles and just generally hop around a little on SP. It's been too long since I had a chance. It's been a busy week. I chose to not read blogs as much during my busy days in favor of exercise and writing my blogs for accountability even if they were short. So, I'm sorry if you haven't heard from me lately or today, I'm still catching up!
The service guy got in today at work and said - surprise, surprise - he thinks there was a fluidics failure. Really?!? The fact that there is no fluid delivery anymore could be caused by that? (okay, so I'm being just a little sarcastic...). He's pretty nice and trying to work through and find the issue. He's coming back again tomorrow to work on it some more. We'll have to see. Nothing can recover what was lost. *sigh* I went back through my notes and worked out what will need to be done to repeat it. Thankfully I won't have to go back to the beginning and I have enough stuff I won't need to order anything else major.
I also took some time to update my page. As many of you commented, the pic I posted last night was nice. I actually really LIKE it. That's new for me. I NEVER like pictures of me. So, I added it to my page. I'm quite proud of it and my DD. What do you guys think of me with no glasses? I'm still getting used to it. Now I have to learn how to do eye makeup.
I never wear it except for a little mascara because you couldn't really see my eyes behind the glasses. Yesterday was a earthy look - coppers and browns. Today a little more "springy" I guess. Pinks and navy blue. Meh... I suppose I'll learn. Anyone got any hints?
DD has a bit of a cold, so she skipped practice tonight. That meant I got a little bit of extra time to me. I used it to catch up hear and workout a little bit extra. I haven't been going out a lunch because this whole week has been 20 degrees or colder! Brrr! That definitely makes me go indoors.
Well, I've got to run! Computer time is up and it's time to go read my book. It's starting to get pretty good! Hope you all are having a fabulous week!

I think you look great without glasses. Maybe going to a makeup counter for a lesson on "doing" eyes could be another girls' outing?
I hope they find and fix the issue so you can do your test. I'm kind of excited to hear how it goes. Not that I'll understand it much, but I do so want to be a smart scientist... well, sort of. LOL
I hope your Friday goes well!

You look great without your glasses Chris.
Glad not all your efforts at work have been wasted and you're not back to square 1.
Enjoy playing around with new eye make ideas, I think smokey greys would look cool on you!

You look great without glasses!
Ideas - go to the makeup counter on your next date night with DD. Have them show you how to put on eye make up - let DD play with it too... FUN! Be sure to tell them you want a natural look and a dressy look so you have options. They should be willing to part with samples for you to try at home too!
Sounds like a good day, overall!

Well she might be not able to reverse her "No More Mutants" spells.
Hope seems pretty useless for the time being. Only time we saw her using a multiple power sets was during Second Coming, and now shes like.. "I don't know how my powers work" and blah blah.. So all she can do now is "stabilize" new mutants with newfound powers..
And in some new panels i saw recently, she's back to using her guns/rifles..
Spoiler in the title...I love it. /sarcasm
Tu tu dah daaah dah.
