Christmas is always a sad time of the year to be away from home. If we all had a choice we would be sitting around dinner tables on Christmas Day with our loved ones, but due to many reasons some are oceans apart from their families.
I caught up with some family members of emigrants living in New York and asked them to send a message to the person missing from their dinner table this year.
Selina and Gary Hamill's family haven't had them around the dinner table in Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan for a long time. Gary, who has been living in New York since October 2005 and Selina, since 2006, are missed every year around this time.
Their sister Sinead told the Irish Voice they just simply miss the banter, the general Christmas cheer Gary and Selina bring to the table, and most of all the fun they always used to have opening and sharing their Christmas presents together.
"Of course we miss them so much at Christmas but really we miss them every day," shared Sinead.
It's also a little sad for the whole family because neither Selina nor Gary have met their niece Ella (their brother Paul's daughter).
"We just want to wish Selina and Gary and their partners Billy and Adrienne a big warm happy Christmas and a happy New Year. We love you all dearly and miss you so much," said Sinead.
THIS is the first year in a long time that Marie Flavin Brouder isn't at home in Athea, Co. Limerick with her family.
Marie often makes the trip across the Atlantic from New York at Christmas, but this year she is spending a special Christmas in Yonkers with her husband Mickey and their handsome son Kane. The main reason they aren't flying home is because Marie is expecting her second baby.
Marie's sister Ann got in touch with the Irish Voice to spend a special message to her sister this year. "I want to send you a heartfelt message of goodwill Marie, and I'm so looking forward to the new addition to your family in 2014. I hope ye have a great Christmas and hopefully see you in the New Year," wrote Ann.
Marie, who recently opened up her own boutique in Chappaqua, and Ann had many fun times growing up together, but Ann's favorite memory is of more recent times when she would always make the trip to Shannon Airport on December 21 to bring Marie home for a traditional Irish breakfast. That won't be happening this year, but Ann looks forward to the next Christmas when they are all together again.
Orla Doherty of the Aisling Irish Community Center in Yonkers hasn't spent a Christmas at home in many years. Orla grew up in Kilgarvan, Co. Kerry but New York has been her home now for eight years. She is married to Eunan and has two wonderful children, Emmet and Ailbhe.
Orla is very close to all her family and in particular to her sister Aine, who wants to wish Orla and her family a very special Christmas in New York and said she "hopes to spend a Christmas together sometime soon."
Aine recalls some of the earlier Christmases they shared together.
"Christmas was a very special time for us in Kilgarvan. Our mother was the best host of Christmas dinner ever with her homemade croquettes, sausage stuffing, plum pudding and Christmas cake, and yet Orla still wasn't happy.
"One year she made a trip into Nora's shop next door to buy a packet of skittles. Our mother wasn't too impressed with her," shares Aine.
Another year both Orla and Aine got a baby doll and a buggy from Santa but Orla got an extra present, a pair of roller skates. "I was so jealous and spent all Christmas Day trying to bargain with her to give me the skates but to no joy!" Aine laughs.
And when Orla finally discovered the secret around Santa she "decided to think big and ask for a gold bracelet. Now remember back in the 1970s we were lucky to get anything at all. I think she had that bracelet up until her twenties," says Aine.
PJ Flavin hasn't spent a Christmas in his beloved Co. Kerry in 15 years. PJ, married to the lovely Elaine, lives in Yonkers and is missed by his family back in Ballylongford, especially by his dad and his sister Cecilia.
"We just want to wish PJ a very happy Christmas over in New York, we miss you and wish you all the best for 2014," shared Cecilia.
One of Cecilia's favorite memories of her big brother is getting up early on Christmas morning and opening up their presents. As they got older the tradition of opening them on Christmas Eve took over.
"I think if PJ was home now we would be socializing more in our local bar known as the Rover's Return," said Cecilia.
Marion Moriarty's sister, Siobhan, hasn't spent Christmas Day with her big sister in seven years. It's a sad time for all the Moriartys in Killarney because Marion and their oldest sister Noreen, who lives in Boston for the past 14 years, are missing from the celebrations.
"Christmas is, and always was, so special in our house. Our parents made sure of that every single year," shares Siobhan.
"Myself and Marion were always treated like twins when we were smaller. Even though there's three years between us we always wore the same outfits for our Santa picture, we got the same bikes in the same year but one year particularly sticks out in my head.

About the Book
A daughter's brave and beautiful tribute to a remarkable damaged soul . . .
For novelist Minrose Gwin, growing up was a time of chaos and uncertainty, the result of? being raised by a parent with a serious mental illness. Life with poet Erin Taylor was unpredictable at best and painful at the worst times, as she spiraled ever deeper into psychosis until her eventual death from cancer. But reading her mother's childhood diary as an adult, Minrose encountered a very different Erin Taylor Clayton Pitner. Her late mother's words, written in the 1930s, revealed a cheerful, perceptive young girl growing up in rural Mississippi who wished for snow that "usually didn't come"—a girl with a bright view of the future as she progressed from college student to young mother to published poet, only to have an unbearable darkness close in around her, cruelly suffocating her hopes and dreams.
In her poignant and extraordinary memoir Wishing for Snow, Minrose Gwin sets out to rediscover her mother in the poems, letters, newspaper clippings, and quixotic lists that Erin left behind after her death. The result is an unforgettable true story of a Southern family and the tragic figure at its center—and a loving daughter's determination to find the mother she never knew.

Knitter's Review
April 21, 2011
Knitting is a flexible and forgiving medium. In general, we use it to make functional, wearable objects like socks and hats and sweaters.
But knitting is also quite willing to accompany us on more unusual adventures, whether it's to make a bright red Ferrari, translucent human lung, or a patchwork cozy for a city bus.
As you'll discover in Lela Nargi's new book, Astounding Knits, quite a few people around the world are having a blast pushing knitting to its limits.

United States military forces attempted to rescue journalist James Foley and other American hostages during a secret mission into Syria earlier this summer. During the attempt, U.S. forces exchanged gunfire with Islamic State militants only to discover the captives were not there, officials said on Wednesday.
News of the mission came a day after a video surfaced showing an Islamic State militant beheading the 40-year-old Foley.
Officials would not say exactly when the operation took place but said it was not in the last couple of weeks. U.S. special forces and other military personnel, backed up by helicopters and planes, dropped into the target zone in Syria and engaged in a firefight with Islamic State militants.
The incident, in which a number of militants were killed, appeared to be the first direct ground engagement between the United States and Islamic State militants, who Obama sees as a growing threat in the Middle East.
Lisa Monaco, Obama's top counter terrorism aide, said in a statement that Obama authorized the mission because it was his national security team's assessment that the hostages were in danger with each passing day.
"The U.S. government had what we believed was sufficient intelligence, and when the opportunity presented itself, the president authorized the Department of Defense to move aggressively to recover our citizens. Unfortunately, that mission was ultimately not successful because the hostages were not present," said Monaco.
Among the hostages sought in the mission was Steven Sotloff, the American journalist who was threatened with beheading in the same video that showed the grisly execution of Foley. Several other captives were also sought, a senior administration official said.
The families of the hostages were informed about the operation "but only when it was operationally safe to do so," a senior administration official said.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the mission was focused on a "particular captor network" within the Islamic State militant group. He did not provide specifics.
"As we have said repeatedly, the United States government is committed to the safety and well-being of its citizens, particularly those suffering in captivity. In this case, we put the best of the United States military in harms' way to try and bring our citizens home," he said.
He added: "The United States will not tolerate the abduction of our people, and will work tirelessly to secure the safety of our citizens and to hold their captors accountable."
Earlier Wednesday, before news of the failed rescue mission were released, President Obama condemned the execution of Foley and vowed the United States would do what it must to protect its citizens.
Not long after Obama spoke, the Pentagon said U.S. aircraft conducted 14 air strikes in the vicinity of Iraq's Mosul Dam, destroying or damaging militants' Humvees, trucks and explosives.
"The whole world is appalled by the brutal murder of James Foley," Obama said during the press conference.
Obama said he called Foley's family to express his condolences.
The president spoke strongly, almost angrily, calling the Islamic State (also known as ISIL or ISIS, depending on translation) a "cancer" with a "bankrupt" ideology and saying he was praying for Foley's family and the families of other Americans currently held against their will.
"Let's be clear about ISIL," the president opened. "They have rampaged across cities and villages, killing innocent unarmed civilians in cowardly acts of violence. They abduct women and children and subject them to torture and rape and slavery. They have murdered Muslims, both Sunni and Shi'a, by the thousands. They target Christians and religious minorities, driving them from their homes, murdering them when they can, for no other reason than they practice another religion. They declare their ambition to commit genocide against an ancient people."
"So, ISIL speaks for no religion ... No faith teaches people to massacre innocents. No just God would stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every single day."
Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States would "never back down in the face of such evil.
"ISIL and the wickedness it represents must be destroyed, and those responsible for this heinous, vicious atrocity will be held accountable," Kerry said in a statement.
'Relentless' hunt for the killer
"The United States of America will continue to do what we must do to protect our people. We will be vigilant and we will be relentless," said President Obama. "When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what's necessary to see that justice is done."
British anti-terrorist police began an investigation of the video, in which Foley's killer spoke with a London accent.
Possibly a British national, the killer is just one of hundreds of European Muslims drawn to join Islamic State, who authorities say pose a security threat to U.S. and European interests if they return home from the Middle East.
The video showed a high level of technical proficiency and the use of a British voice may have been intended to make its contents clear to audiences in the United States, Islamic State's declared enemy.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said he was not surprised to hear the British accent and that large numbers of British nationals were fighting in Iraq and Syria.
"Our intelligence services will be looking very carefully on both sides of the Atlantic at this video to establish its authenticity, to try to identify the individual concerned and then we will work together to try to locate him," Hammond told Sky news.
France said it wanted the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and regional countries, including Arab states and Iran, to coordinate action against Islamic State. President Francois Hollande called for an international conference to discuss how to tackle the group.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned "the horrific murder of journalist James Foley, an abominable crime that underscores the campaign of terror the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant continues to wage against the people of Iraq and Syria," U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari urged the world to back his country against Islamic State, which he described as a threat to the world, not just to the minority ethnic groups whose members it has killed in Iraq.
Germany and Italy said they were ready to send arms to bolster the military capabilities of Iraqi Kurds fighting Islamic State in northern Iraq.
Sending arms into conflict zones is a major departure for Germany, which has often shied away from direct involvement in military conflicts.
The video's message was unambiguous, warning of greater retaliation to come against Americans following nearly two weeks of U.S. airstrikes that have pounded militant positions and halted the advance of Islamic State, which until this month had captured a third of Iraq with little resistance.
Foley was kidnapped on Nov. 22, 2012, in northern Syria, according to GlobalPost. He had earlier been kidnapped and released in Libya.
Sotloff, who appeared at the end of the video, went missing in northern Syria while reporting in July 2013. He has written for TIME among other news organizations.
Journalism community reacts
Northwestern University, where Foley recieved a masters degree in journalism, in 2008, released a statement saying the "Medill family is shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the murder of James Foley."
"Journalists face threats in many forms as they try to report difficult stories that need to be told, but the attack on Jim was barbaric," Northwestern said in a statement. "It was, in a larger sense, an attack on freedoms necessary in a civilized society and across strained cultures. Jim endures for us as a beacon reminding us of the risks implicit in shedding light where inhumanity can take hold."
Foley, 40, was working in Syria for GlobalPost when he disappeared on Thanksgiving Day, 2012.
While attending Medill, Foley worked as a language arts teacher at the Cook County Sheriff's boot camp program for four or five years, said Cara Smith, executive director of the Cook County Jail.
"He was a passionate and dedicated teacher in our boot camp," Smith said. The program is an alternative to a state prison sentence.
"He was fluent in Spanish and was able to connect with our Spanish-speaking boot camp participants," Smith said. "He believed passionately in education and its ability to reduce recidivism."
Foley, a native of New Hampshire, reported about conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, where he was held captive for 44 days.
After his release in Libya in 2011, Foley returned to Medill for an event in which he was interviewed by Tim McNulty, a Medill lecturer and former Chicago Tribune associate managing editor. Foley emphasized the importance of informing Americans about conflicts overseas.
"'Conflict journalism' is very important. ... We need to know that most of the world is a dictatorship," Foley said. "Most of the world, you cannot speak your mind. Most of the world, there's no due process. Being away from the U.S. for a long time in these places, it really got knocked into me this time, man. We live in a pretty good place."
Syria has been the most dangerous country for journalists for more than two years. At least 69 other journalists have been killed covering the conflict there and more than 80 journalists have been kidnapped in Syria.
The U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists estimates that approximately 20 journalists are currently missing in Syria. Many of them are believed to be held by Islamic State.

How to Draw Eyes on Your Fashion Figures
To create simple eyes from the front view, start by drawing an oval with a face grid.
Add a neck for a nice effect. Draw the eye(s) on the horizontal guide line and about halfway between the center vertical line and the edge of the face.
The eye shape dips down in the front and then curves up and over the little pupil. It ends in another little pointed shape. To create a bit of shine, the pupil is a crescent shape rather than a full circle.
Add some long, dramatic eyelashes, always pulling and curving to the outside corner of the eye.
The eyes can look messy or fake; the point of simple eyes is to quickly throw an eye on the face.

The ongoing drought, which began in 2011 and expanded dramatically in March of last year, will probably continue well into summer before we have much hope of relief. Here in northern Missouri, we're having a repeat of the mild weather we experienced last winter, and while that makes travel less treacherous, it is giving local farmers cause for concern. Earlier this month, the Associated Press reported, "Much of the U.S. is still desperate for relief from the nation's longest dry spell in decades. And experts say it will take an absurd amount of snow to ease the woes of farmers and ranchers." Some climatologists are saying that, considering a foot of snow only equates to about an inch of water, it would take at least eight feet of the white stuff to return the soil to pre-drought conditions in time for spring planting.
Unfortunately, climatologists at the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln predict that dry conditions will probably continue throughout this winter season. And although the continuing drought seems to be moving at a snail's pace, the climatologist who authors the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor calls it a 'flash drought.' "We usually tell people that drought is a slow-moving natural disaster," explains Mark Svoboda. "But this year was more of a flash drought...The impacts came on in a matter of weeks instead of over several months."
Drought Monitor climatologist Brian Fuchs calls the confluence of dry weather and thirsty flora the 'perfect storm:' "A mild winter without much precipitation and early green-up means plants are using moisture a month or more earlier than usual." And because the outlook for the winter wheat crop isn't good, livestock producers are finding that providing sufficient feed for their animals is a real challenge. We will undoubtedly see higher prices for meat and dairy products as a result. We may also have a repeat of the low yields of soybeans and corn that occurred last year, with growers once again resorting to repeated plantings, particularly with regard to corn.
The Missouri Drought Plan, formulated in 2002 by the Missouri Dept. of Resources (DNR), acknowledges that Linn County is located in an area of highest susceptibility to drought, and that agricultural producers are "usually the first to feel the effects of drought." Because most of northern Missouri is "underlain by rocks that contain water that is generally too mineralized for most uses," the primary source of our drinking water is 'glacial drift.' Although glacial drift can yield anywhere from less than a gallon of potable water per minute to 500 gallons per minute, the average yield is "probably less than five gallons per minute."

Spare 15 rd Mag WE Tech 1911 Tactical Gas
$ 29.99
Spare 15 rd Mag WE Tech 1911 Tactical Gas - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- HEY,IT'S A MAGAZINEAny gun with extra magazines is good in my book.If you are a major player than extra magazines are a must and if you can find them,buy them.So this is a good mag.It holds alot of gas and it rarly has problems.
Buy two
Im Out,AIRSOFT RULES
- Good but only get it for the tactical!Trust me this mag does not look right in the regular WE Tech M1911A1. I wish it held more than 15 rounds.
- Do You Need ItThe mags are good, but the gun comes with two already. If you are using this gun as a primary, it is a good buy. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.
- good mag for a goood gunwhen i shot the gun this mag goes to i liked it. i like the fact that it is all metal. i didnt like like the mag cap that much though. other wise a well constructed mag for a well-consotructed gun
- Plastic is the Achilles HeelDont get me wrong, its a great magazine. The gun itself is excellent. The magazines are 98% metal and weigh more than my friend's old UHC M1911. The mag worked fine for the two days where my friend and i broke the gun in during about maybe 300 shots then at a game 3 days after got it, the gun began to fire blanks, plenty of gas and bbs. The problem is that first bb when the runner pushes it up, it comes out into a plastic casing that sticks off the top of the mag. From above, the casing has a slot along the top and in the center is a slightly widened rounded bit for the bb to come up into. However the follower sometimes comes unlocked and snaps up into this housing, enlarging the opening. During the match i kept noticing more and more blank firing. My friend and i kept trying it out, and still, not working we took the mag out and saw the 15 shots were still in there despite the multiple times we pulled the trigger, took the mag out, racked the slide, took the slide off, ajusted the hop up, and so on. We just pushed the first bb back out of the slot into the hole where it comes up and that shot fired, however, the next shot came up and went into the slot. We discovered that if this happens to you and you need to fire your gun, just rack the slide for every shot like a springer and the last shot will lock back. So beware, just get a better magazine. The metal is great, the gun is great, the plastic follower and casing are the achilles heel.
- WASTE OF MONEYThis magazine is excellent, but it has one major flaw. WE Tech is a great company, make excellent metal guns and magazines. Unfortunately within that $120 that you pay for the gun and magazines you are getting a full metal magazine, that isn't full metal. At the very top is a small nozzle that holds the bb up out of the magazine for the slide to chamber when it is either racked or when it blows back and then comes forward. This is one of the most important parts, and WE Tech makes it out of plastic. As well as the small follower in the mag that has an incredibly strong spring behind it and a tiny notch to lock the follower into, meaning sometimes you may be loading and that follower comes out of the mag and "whizzzzzzzzzzzz....SNAP" slam into the top of the magazine, either breaking itself on the metal, or damaging the nozzle at the top. Eventually the nozzle wears out until the bb comes up from the magazine and into this nozzle, since the follower or previous bbs have worn it out of shape, the bb does not stay in the correct spot, but the pressure from the bbs behind it and the follower cause it to "jump" forward out of its rounded crevice and into a smaller slot at the front. Then when the gun is fired, the bb does not get chambered because the bb is out of reach of the small extemity on the bottom of the recoil frame that pushes the bb up.
Long story short: The plastic parts wear out. My friend and i fired about 300 rounds through it over 4 days to break it in for a game. During the game, the plastic collars on both magazines had worn out and the gun was not chambering bbs. I believe this is a terrible magazine, not worth the money.
At least make the magazine sides or bottom out of plastic where it dosent matter and make the operational parts out of metal but NO, WE Tech skimped out on the most vital parts. Go with any other M1911 magazine that fits in a WE Tech M1911. This is crap.
- One of the BEST!I've got 4 airsoft guns and by far these magazines are the best! They have never given me any problems. They are also the most consistent mags I have. Get these!!

Boeing fuss could benefit Alabama
Published: Friday, November 15, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 11:45 p.m.
SEATTLE | Boeing's history in the Pacific Northwest dates back more than a century, when William Boeing purchased a Seattle shipyard that would become his first airplane factory.
In recent years, however, those ties have been fraying, first with the company shifting its headquarters to Chicago, then with the development of a new production line in South Carolina.
Now, the relationship between Boeing and Washington state is near the point of unraveling after a fiery debate among machinists this week led the workers to reject a long-term contract.
On Thursday, Boeing made good on its threats and said it is looking elsewhere to develop its popular new 777X airplane — and the company may take thousands of jobs along with it.
Boeing Co. spokesman Doug Alder declined to specify where the company is now looking, saying there is no short list and that there are many places both within Boeing's current operations and outside that are being explored.
"Everything is back on the table," he said.
Boeing has helped anchor western Washington state's economy for decades, but that relationship began to fray about 15 years ago. In 2001, the company moved its headquarters from Seattle to Chicago.
In 2003, Washington state lawmakers approved a broad package of tax breaks for Boeing in hopes of securing long-term work on the company's new 787 airplane. While that plane is being built in the Puget Sound, Boeing has since developed a new production line in South Carolina and placed wing production in Japan.
Alex Pietsch, who serves as Gov. Jay Inslee's leader on aerospace issues, said Thursday he now expects fresh competition for the 777X line from places like South Carolina, Texas, southern California, Utah, Alabama and Georgia. Alabama's industry recruiters in recent years have listed the aerospace industry as one its key targets.
"This is arguably the most significant prize in commercial aviation history," Pietsch said.
The governor's office is hopeful that Boeing and the machinists can come back together in the near future to explore a potential compromise — perhaps when both sides have had a chance to cool down from the recent contract battle, Pietsch said.
In the contract vote late Wednesday, the International Association of Machinists District 751 rejected the proposal with 67 percent of the votes. Union members who called for a no vote did so in protest of Boeing's push to end a traditional pension plan and increase their health care costs.
The deal would have exchanged those concessions for the long-term stability expected with the 777X line. Workers would have received a $10,000 signing bonus if they approved the deal.
The long-range, twin-aisle 777 holds about 365 passengers, making it Boeing's
second-biggest plane. Since its first flight in 1994, it's been a best-seller for Boeing, which has sold more 777s than any of its other current large planes.
In May, it began offering the revamped 777X. Boeing is still finalizing plans for the plane, but it has said it is expected to carry as many as 400 passengers and to be 20 percent more fuel efficient than the current 777.
Instead of the current all-aluminum wing, the 777X wing is expected to be made from composites, the same high-tech plastic that makes up most of Boeing's new 787. Boeing is aiming to deliver the first 777X by the end of this decade.
The 777X is meant to compete with the new Airbus A350, which is undergoing flight testing now.
It's also going to compete with Boeing's slightly larger 747-8 Intercontinental, which has seen sluggish sales even before the 777X has been formally launched.

GILROY -- Even when Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero can't be seen in this hardworking agrarian town, the people here feel his presence.
It's probably because the boxer who earned his nickname long ago for an ability to disappear from opponents carries the spirit of his hometown wherever he goes -- including Las Vegas for the fight of his career Saturday night.
After years of toiling in the shadows of boxing's grandest stages, Guerrero has finally landed the big one, a championship bout against undefeated and ever-controversial Floyd Mayweather Jr. When Guerrero, 30, steps into the spotlight at the MGM Grand, trying to do what no fighter has done against Mayweather, an entire town will be in his corner cheering on its underdog native son.
Gilroy (population 49,528) embraces its biggest sports figure since NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia because The Ghost symbolizes the heritage of those who worked the fertile fields of this town.
"What he means to us is basically a lot of what this town was built on: starting from the bottom and working for everything he's got," said Fernando Sanchez, a family friend who boxed with Guerrero when they were kids.
That is why city officials already scheduled May 18 as a day to honor the boxer with a post-fight party that will include the band Santana and a proclamation from Mayor Don Gage. Win or lose Saturday night, Gilroy won't turn its collective back on the man who has won six world titles in four divisions since turning professional at age 18.
"Gilroy is what I know, it's where I'm from," said Guerrero, who lives downtown in a modest 1940s home with his wife and two children.
This Ghost story began long before title belts came to Gilroy. Guerrero's grandfather boxed professionally. His father Ruben, who has trained Guerrero for most of his career, is a two-time Golden Gloves winner.
Ruben Guerrero, a fence builder by trade, introduced his six sons to boxing when they were young. They first trained in sleepy San Juan Bautista in a warehouse called the Potato Shed, a building with corrugated metal siding that now is used to store insulation and antiques.
The Guerreros eventually moved their training outpost to Gilroy's former community youth center, now shuttered. Peering through a smudged window, Sanchez, the longtime family friend, pointed to the east side of the gym. It was there he used to watch young Robert Guerrero box "like a natural."
He earned his nickname at age 9.
"By the time I'm done hitting, the kid looks to hit back, and I was gone, off to the side," Guerrero once explained, "and they kept saying, 'Man, you're like a ghost.' "
When the Guerreros weren't training or at school, they accompanied their father to work, hauling sandbags and barbed wire fencing to ranches on the outskirts of town.
The parents made ends meet the best they could. Marcy Guerrero handled janitorial contracts for Moffett Field for nine years to help support her kids' boxing dreams. Older brother Victor had a few professional fights, but Robert was the only one to make it a career.
At 16, Guerrero was the youngest competitor at the 2000 U.S. Olympic boxing trials. He decided to turn pro two years later instead of waiting for the Athens Games in '04.
As a dangerous lefthander who can take a punch, Guerrero found it difficult to secure a big-money opponent such as Mayweather, the reigning WBC welterweight champion; Mayweather is widely seen as the best boxer of his generation but known more recently for his two-month stay in a Las Vegas jail cell for domestic abuse.
Three years ago, Guerrero missed significant time too, putting his career on hold when his wife Casey was stricken with leukemia. The boxer has cited his wife's recovery as confirmation of his unshakable Christian faith.
The family attends the Foothills Foursquare Church where Pastor Mark Wilson and the congregation pray for Guerrero before each bout.
"What we should be doing is praying for Mayweather," Wilson said. "We don't want him to take too bad of a beating."
Guerrero's faith-based lifestyle, small-town roots and the way he handled the ordeal with his wife's illness have given him an angelic reputation in a violent sport.
But Guerrero's image suffered a blow last month when he was arrested at New York's Kennedy Airport after he tried to bring an unloaded .40-caliber handgun onto a plane. Guerrero presented a locked gun box to a ticket agent during check-in. The gun was registered in California but was not legal to carry in New York. His next court appearance is scheduled for May 14.
In a recent interview, the boxer declined all questions on the matter. According to the online publication Roopstigo, Guerrero likes to shoot guns to relieve tension. He brought the gun to New York during a promotional tour before heading to Vegas, where he had planned to visit a shooting range for a documentary film crew.
The incident hasn't cost Guerrero his reputation in Gilroy.
"We don't care, we know Robert," said friend Jim Shuster, owner of Dutchman's Pizza.
This grass roots' admiration starts with Bob Tapella, known around town as "Pool Hall Bob." One recent day at Dutchman's, Tapella arrived with a plastic container filled with Guerrero mementos. The one-time owner of Garlic City Billiards carefully handled each item as if it were a museum artifact.
His prize possession is a pair of boxing shorts that Guerrero wore in his first professional fights.
The trunks were made by Gilroy seamstress Ignacia Palmer, who can't wait for the Mayweather bout. She has posted a handmade sign at her Marie La Beau Designer boutique in downtown that reads: "Do you believe in the Ghost? We do."
In Gilroy, she's not alone.

For some reason we only associate milestones with babies. We talk a lot about what milestone our child has or has not hit, and one day it just stops. Our children reach certain age and milestones are no longer used to describe our children's achievements. We use a different language when a child grows we use words like meeting goals, and maturity levels, but really life is a milestone. Milestones are not just learning to crawl and walk but learning to grow, becoming an adult, becoming someone we like and feel good about. I have had many milestones in my life. I had a different childhood that took some healing to move past.
I had very hard teenage years ( i was literally mad at the entire world for about 7 years)and in time i matured past those days.
I married a great man and became a wife and tried hard in those beginning years to do it well, but i often failed.
(doesn't my husband look so young here)
I became a mommy very young and forced the maturity of becoming a parent probably way before i was ready. I grew into those years and being a wife and mom started to become second nature and easy and really enjoyable.
I hit a milestone.
I had a baby exactly 18 months ago and she turned out to be so different and so much more than i ever expected. I often doubted my ability in the last year, but i can honestly say i hit a huge milestone and have accepted parenting a child with special needs with pure joy and happiness.
What a huge milestone!
I am now in a new stage of my life. I am in a stage where i am learning what it means to be sick, what it means to not have the control we all mistakenly think we have. I am learning that doctors will sometimes give you great advice, and sometimes their words can hit so deep and hard. I am learning to trust, and also let go. I am learning that we rely so much on what a doctor tells us , but really it is Hashem who decides. These are all new milestones I'm hitting. New levels of understanding. I recently received bad news form a doctor, remember back here when i discussed my condition. The doctors originally felt i could live a pretty normal symptom free life, now many months later they decided to change their story. They fear that this very slow growing form of leukemia is actually showing up as a more aggressive than they thought. I have never had tears flood my eyes so quickly and so uncontrollably in my life. Me the pillar of strength melted on a bench in the middle of a hospital flooding my eyes with sadness, right in front of my children. I was alone with two kids and no one cared, people just walked by. I guess the bench right outside of the cancer institute is often filled with tears, and people stopped paying mind. This is new to me. I don't fall apart because i trust Hashem, but for the first times in my life i said in loud clear words standing in a parking garage holding the stroller with one hand and a juice box in the other "I am so mad at you Hashem, I HATE YOU" and i threw that juice box as far as i could throw it. Dovie started to cry because i threw his juice box, and i couldn't fix it because it was so gone.
The truth is i don't hate Hashem i just needed to tell him that i was mad like a child that screams i hate you, i think Hashem knew that.
I kept Dovie home from school yesterday and we went to the toy store. I told him you can have anything in this store, anything. We had so much fun. We played on the mini power wheels, and i showed him my hula hoop skills. I hope he forgave me.
This is my new milestone my new goal. I will reach this milestone whatever it may be and move on to the next. I will learn to crawl again if i need to, and i will take my first steps, but i will do it, i will conquer and achieve. This cancer WILL NOT TAKE ME DOWN IT WILL NOT!!!! I will see each and every one of my children to the Chuppah including Rozie, yes you read that right,my Rozie WILL get married, without a doubt, and i will be there. I will fight through tears and win through tears. I will not let the doctors push me around i am stronger than that. I will call my village if that is what i need. I will force some of you to get on airplanes or drive many hours, but i will call you.
This is not the end it is a beginning.
Thank you Hashem, i dont hate you, for the amazing blessings in my life.
Modeh Ani....
I love you my 3 kinderlach from the moon and back a million billion trillion times over.

HANNIBAL - Mike Tanchuk blasted the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio Friday for not further reducing Ormet's electric bills as he announced the company would cease all operations by next week.
Two days after the PUCO announced it would cut Ormet's American Electric Power bills from $60 to $50 per megawatt-hour - rather than to $45.89 per megawatt-hour as Ormet requested - Tanchuk, Ormet president and chief executive officer, said the plant would shut down its remaining two potlines.
This move will cost about 750 workers, who were still employed Friday, their jobs. These cuts are in addition to the workers laid off previously as Ormet reduced production from six to two aluminum potlines. In total, roughly 1,000 jobs will be lost.
"The chairman and one of the commissioners went out of their way to insult Ormet's efforts to reduce costs," Tanchuk said in expressing frustration with the Wednesday comments made by PUCO Chairman Todd Snitchler and Commissioner Steven Lesser.
"The PUCO commissioners never mentioned in their comments that Ohio's energy policy transition to market has massively increased energy costs and is misguided, with its first major casualty being Ormet," Tanchuk said. Ormet has been Ohio's largest consumer of electricity.
In making their Wednesday decision, commissioners said they recognized Ormet's economic importance to the region, but wanted to balance those interests with the concerns of local rate payers who would be subsidizing part of Ormet's power costs with increases to their own bills.
Officials with AEP and the Ohio Consumers' Counsel have said granting Ormet additional power discounts could result in higher rates for about 1.4 million customers across the Buckeye State, many of whom live hundreds of miles away from the Hannibal facility.
During Wednesday's PUCO meeting, Snitchler said the commission has approved a total of $346 million in financial support for Ormet over the past four years, calling this "extraordinary."
In February, Ormet filed for bankruptcy in U.S. District Court in Delaware. The company later announced a planned $221 million sale to Minnesota-based Wayzata, but emphasized this transaction required convincing the PUCO to allow Ormet to have lower AEP bills.
John Puskar, staff representative for the United Steelworkers at Ormet, said the stipulations for Wayzata to purchase Ormet included securing the lower AEP rates, securing a working agreement with the USW and moving the pension debt to the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.
The USW Local 5724 approved the new working agreement, while the PBGC will likely take over the pension debt. However, Tanchuk said the electricity rate of $50 per megawatt-hour is not low enough.
"It is just hard to say right now," a frustrated Puskar said Friday. "The ball is still in Wayzata's court, but we will just have to see what happens."
Calls to Wayzata's corporate offices seeking comment were not returned.
The commission Wednesday agreed to modify Ormet's discounts so that AEP Ohio ratepayers would receive a refund if benchmark aluminum prices exceed Ormet's break even level of $2,200 per ton. If aluminum rises above $2,500 a ton on the London Metal Exchange, Ormet will pay Ohio ratepayers at 108 percent of the rate.
The commission denied Ormet's request to transition to retail choice for electricity purchases in 2014, ordering the company to honor its current contract with AEP through December 2018. Tanchuk had wanted Ormet to generate its own electricity by late 2015, via a planned natural gas power center.
U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, said he was "deeply disappointed" to learn that Ormet would shutter operations next week.
"I'm disappointed that a short-term deal couldn't be reached with the state of Ohio to allow Ormet to continue operations. Ormet has a strong, viable plan to produce its own energy from the natural gas production that we are seeing in eastern and southeastern Ohio - if only they had the support to get to that point," Johnson said.

As you may have not noticed while playing Super Smash Bros Brawl (shame on you if you haven't played this game) that the characters look very realistic especially Bowser. Nintendo had done a marvelous job at seemingly bringing Bowser to life. Bowser first appeared in the original Super Mario Bros game in 1985 and he sure has progressed a lot. I found a timeline charting the Evolution of Bowser through Nintendo history. This shows how Bowser was originally in 1985 all the way to Bowser in 2009 with the release of Super Smash Bros: Brawl. Bowser sure has come a long way in his 25 years of existance at Nintendo. Here's to another 25 years to him! Take a look.

I ordered the front seats first to make sure the fit and finish was what I had hoped for and I was satisfied. The instructions are not very helpful but on the same note they're not needed either. Easy install, both seats took about 10 minutes. I'm definitely going to get rear seat covers but I might go with the Cordura material because I think it will stand up to a child and dog a little better. My only knock is the price, very expensive. I would recommend.

When Will the Unemployment Rate Hit 6.5%? Calculate It!
The Atlanta Fed's website has an employment calculator that allows you to fiddle with a few variables in order to guesstimate what the total number of jobs growth will be needed in order to arrive at a targeted unemployment rate.
For those thinking the Fed will step off the gas in 2013, take a look at this site.
It would take an average job-growth rate of 250,000 each of the next 13 months to arrive at a 6.5% unemployment rate.
But if increases were just 125,000, the average trend rate for the last 30 years, it would take 96 months — or eight full years — before unemployment got to 6.5%.
(This isn't just job additions, mind you, but net job creation; that's why simply jumping from 125,000 to 250,000 cuts the time down so dramatically.)
So bond bulls and dollar bears take heart. It looks like Helicopter Ben will be hovering for some time to come.

SAN JOSE -- The mission: Fix a Sharks penalty kill that last season was worse than every other NHL team's except the Columbus Blue Jackets, then had even less success in the playoffs.
The process: Add two defense-oriented minds behind the bench to help analyze the problem and design the solution. Bring in two new players -- defenseman Brad Stuart and forward Adam Burish -- with short-handed experience.
The plan?
"I could talk about what we'd like to do up-ice and what we'd like to do on entries and faceoffs, but it would be a not-very-smart decision to share that," coach Todd McLellan said Wednesday. "The general theme is we'd like to be a more assertive, more aggressive penalty kill."
Talk further with players and coaches, however, and some changes become apparent:
Both of the newly arrived coaches -- Hall of Famer Larry Robinson and Jim Johnson, a veteran of 829 NHL games with coaching experience in Washington and Tampa Bay -- played down the need to start from scratch in improving the penalty kill, despite the team's 76.9 percent success rate that dropped to 66.7 percent in the postseason.
"I don't think there was a lot to fix," Robinson said. "I think we were doing a lot of things right."
What did the man with nine Stanley Cup rings as a player and coach think needed attention?
"Our positioning around the net," he said. "I thought that there were times we had the other team in a vulnerable position and we let them off the hook by not being aggressive. Little things like that -- stick positioning, body positioning."
Johnson identified the ability to anticipate a teammate's move as one area the Sharks needed to work on. "It does us no good when one guy pressures and the other three are kind of hesitant," he said.
And Johnson said the team had to develop a better understanding of when to be more aggressive. "You just don't pressure to pressure," he said. "You pressure to put people in situations where you then can jump on them."
McLellan said he doesn't expect things to be perfect.
No, he said, everything won't start out perfect.
"We'll make some mistakes. But over time, it's got to improve," McLellan said. "I mentioned to the players in camp that we all take a responsibility in it, starting with us as a staff."
Next on his list?
"The save percentage has to be better in the penalty-kill situation. There's just no other way of putting it," McLellan said. "But that doesn't fall purely on the goaltenders. It's what's going on around the blue paint when the shot goes there. And that means the d-men and the forwards have to collapse and do a better job."
While McLellan and his staff say they want to be able to rotate more players into the penalty kill to keep them fresh, how that applies to the top line of Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski is something the Sharks have wrestled with for years. Short-handed minutes steal time from their use on the power play.
Complicating things is the fact the Sharks' top players win more than their share of faceoffs -- and faceoffs are huge at the start of every power play. A win and a clear can eat up about one-fifth of the penalty, McLellan said.
Players say they are picking up on the changes. And they recognize that everyone has a share of the responsibility.
"It's the whole team," Pavelski said. "Everybody's in the penalty-kill meetings, looking to get something out of it and probably see a little time in it."

Her assignment is to encourage an up-and-coming author of anti-radical literature to keep publishing without letting him know that her employer is really funding him. Unfortunately, Serena — that lover of literature — soon falls in love with the author.
A Pulitzer Prize winning biographer presents a fresh, intriguing look at Thomas Jefferson. Jon Meacham found in his research that Jefferson was able to mesh his considerable gifts as a statesman with a deft talent for political maneuvering which insured that he had a firm hand on the development of our new nation. Meacham's work is both an eye-opening and engaging look at "Thomas Jefferson: the Art of Power" (921.000).
Primarily known for his popular crime novels, Walter Mosley is not afraid to experiment with other forms of fiction. He has begun a series called "Crosstown to Oblivion" which takes a cosmic approach to the human condition. His latest book features two novellas from Crosstown. "Merge" deals with lotto winner Raleigh Redman who finds fulfillment in an alien world; "Disciple" focuses on Trent Tryman who makes a Faustian deal with an entity named Bron.
Emil Larsson has risen from his lowly beginnings to become a bureaucrat in Stockholm's Office of Customs and Excise. He is quite smug about it, too. The drinking, card-playing life of a bachelor suits him — until his family and employer urge him to marry. Mrs. Sofia Sparrow, the proprietress of an exclusive gaming house, offers a solution. She lays out for him eight cards, each bearing the likeness of a person who will help him find a suitable partner. But while she ostensibly helps Emil, she also secretly fosters her own plans. Karen Engelmann's original and charming debut, "The Stockholm Octavo," takes us into Sweden in 1791 and the heart of a political revolution.
In 2005, social critic James Howard Kunstler wrote, "The Long Emergency," which was a disturbing prediction about our country, our world, and the troubled state of the economy, environment and fuel usage. Kunstler is back with an update — and he doesn't like what he sees. He believes our faith in technology to fix our problems is misplaced and that it is time to face the future with "practical skill and something like common sense." He offers a strong dose of reality in "Too Much Magic: Wishful Thinking, Technology, and the Fate of the Nation" (303.497).

Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia is a blood disorder that occurs when a medicine triggers the body's defense (immune) system to attack its own red blood cells. This causes red blood cells to break down earlier than normal, a process called hemolysis.
Immune hemolytic anemia secondary to drugs; Anemia - immune hemolytic - secondary to drugs
In some cases, a drug can cause the immune system to mistake your own red blood cells for foreign substances. The body responds by making antibodies then against the red blood cells. The antibodies attach to red blood cells and cause them to break down too early.
Drugs that can cause this type of hemolytic anemia include:
A rare form of the disorder is hemolytic anemia from a lack of glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). In this case, the breakdown of red blood cells is due to a certain type of stress in the cell.
Drug-induced hemolytic anemia is rare in children.
A physical exam may show an enlarged spleen. You may have blood and urine tests to help diagnose this condition.
Tests may include:
Stopping the drug that is causing the problem may relieve or control the symptoms.
You may need to take a medicine called prednisone to reduce the immune response against the red blood cells. Special blood transfusions may be needed to treat severe symptoms
The outcome is good for most people if they stop taking the drug that is causing the problem.
Death caused by severe anemia is rare.
See your health care provider if you have symptoms of this condition.
Avoid the drug that caused this condition.

Bear visits governor's WNC residence
Published: Thursday, September 4, 2014 at 12:15 p.m.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Gov. Pat McCrory spent the Labor Day holiday weekend at the western governor's mansion in Asheville.
Multiple media outlets reported McCrory also had an uninvited guest.
A 140-pound black bear lumbered across the yard at the mansion while McCrory was in Asheville.
Deputy communications director Ryan Tronovitch said the Wildlife Resources Commission noticed the bear had a collar, indicating it was a bear that the agency had been tracking.
The bear was tagged in May in Chunn's Cove. A tracking map shows the bear has covered a lot of ground around Asheville.
The Governor's Western Residence is at the top of Town Mountain in Asheville. It was built in 1939 and includes 18 acres.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum doesn't spin and twirl on purpose. The pirouette off the mound isn't meant to be showy, it just kind of happens when he is locked in, throwing the ball where he wants and getting strikeouts that send him whirling back to the dugout one shutdown inning after the next.
Against the Atlanta Braves on Monday night, the slender Giants right-hander looked like he was auditioning for the Bolshoi.
Lincecum had not recorded an out past the sixth inning of his first seven starts, but he was electrifying through 72/3 innings of a 4-2 win at AT&T Park. He gave up just two hits and one run while striking out 11. The only time over the past three up-and-down seasons that Lincecum has struck out more was when he no-hit the San Diego Padres last July 13.
"It was vintage Timmy," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He had a good look about him tonight."
True to that vintage form, Lincecum turned to improvisation while finding a rhythm that carried him through his best start of the season. After throwing two breaking balls past Justin Upton with a runner on in the first, Lincecum buried a third one at the knees and got an early double play. At that moment, it clicked. He had a pitch he could go to all night, even if he wasn't quite sure what to call it.
"It was this slider-curveball thing I was throwing," he said of a pitch he threw with a slider grip. "Today it was just doing a little more than it has in the past. It was a slurve thing ... going this way and then that. As long as it's going down and missing bats, I'm happy with it."
Lincecum dodged plenty of barrels. Of his 113 pitches, a season-high 24 were swinging strikes, including 12 whiffs on his big-breaking slider.
"When it started working early in the game, I leaned on it," Lincecum said.
He made just one mistake, a slider that B.J. Upton hit for a solo homer in the fifth. An inning later, Michael Morse's error put Jason Heyward on second. Lincecum was committed to keeping the Braves' big bats from beating him, and he walked All-Star Freddie Freeman on four pitches. He then struck out Chris Johnson on three sliders.
Lincecum got an early lead when Tyler Colvin, in his first home plate appearance as a Giant, pulled off a rare feat by crushing an elevated fastball into McCovey Cove. Colvin's first hit of the season was the 65th splash hit by a Giant.
"That was a great feeling right there," said Colvin, who will get plenty of time in left with Morse filling in for injured first baseman Brandon Belt. "It's a great opportunity here, and you definitely want to take advantage of it."
Colvin continued to do that in the seventh. With the game tied 1-1, Hector Sanchez singled and Brandon Crawford reached on a fielding error by first baseman Freeman. Colvin followed with a two-run triple that might have penned his name onto the lineup card for a few weeks. Bochy has said he'll go with the hot hand in left field, and Colvin drove in more runs in his first start than Gregor Blanco has all season.
The triple all but clinched a win for Lincecum, who walked off the mound to an ovation that was louder than any the home crowd has given a pitcher this season.
"It's pretty special here every time these guys give you something like that," Lincecum said. "I definitely took it in."
"I guess I'm doing about as good as I could be," he said. "It kind of sucks, but it's not all negative. I'll sit back and watch the game, and when I've done that in the past I've figured out small things here and there that I can do better."
Belt will have two pins inserted in the thumb Tuesday. The Giants are planning on being without their slugging first baseman for about eight weeks.

A 9-year-old eastern Kentucky boy who received hundreds of thousands of Christmas cards in a quest to set a record has died.
The Magoffin County Funeral Home says Dalton Dingus of White Oak died Saturday at Bluegrass Hospice Center in Hazard.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports Dingus was in stage 4 of cystic fibrosis when a neighbor posted a request on Facebook to send him Christmas cards.
The child's grandfather says the boy received about 800,000 cards from around the world.
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that affects the lungs and digestive system.

In the spirit of her win on the Wipeout television show and her other athletic achievements, Caroline Lee will join with her dedicated network of friends to host the second annual Wipeout Cancer Sports Day for Charity. The event--which includes a grass volleyball tournament, bicycle rides and a children's obstacle course--is scheduled for July 26 at the Campbell Community Center.
Lee was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer in 2012, two years after her victory on Wipeout. After enduring a year of surgery and chemotherapy, Lee organized the first Wipeout Cancer Sports Day for Charity, an event aimed at spreading cancer awareness and giving back to the organization and community that provided for her during her recovery.
"It was at a time where I was taking an additional six months off work, and it dawned on me, why not? I've got a really nice network of friends and people around me and I thought it would be really nice to give back to the community," Lee said.
The goal of Wipeout Cancer Sports Day for Charity is to raise $50,000 for cancer charities in five years. She chose those numbers purposefully--$50,000 is the amount she won on Wipeout, and cancer survival rates are measured in five year increments. She is well on her way to reach her goal, as last year's event raked in over $23,000.
The multi-sport athlete designed the Wipeout Cancer Sports Day to incorporate some of her favorite activities: volleyball, biking and an obstacle course for kids, a tribute to her Wipeout win.
With help from her triathalon club teammates, Lee is planning three different bike rides. The first is a difficult 60-mile ride with a 4,600-foot elevation gain on Skyline Road that begins at 7:30 a.m. An intermediate 31-mile ride starts at 9 a.m., and a fun family ride through Campbell neighborhoods starts at 10 a.m. and will be available throughout the day.
The volleyball tournaments will occur all day and are open to all skill levels. The obstacle course, constructed by Lee's team, includes eight to 12 challenges and will be adjusted for four different age groups ranging from 4 to 12. Lunch is provided for all attendees and each child participating in the obstacle course will receive a finisher's medal.
The proceeds from the event will benefit Cancer CAREpoint, a San Jose nonprofit close to Lee's heart that provides services for all local cancer patients and their families. Lee heard about the organization and its engaging nutrition classes through a friend two years ago and has been using it as a lifeline ever since.
She found the organization to be more empathetic than others and added, "You usually call up doctors and they ask, 'Well who's your insurance carrier? That's what you answer first when you call these offices, and it's frustrating. Over there they don't care about that; they don't ask you for money. I found that very comforting." She called Cancer CAREpoint "Silicon Valley's best kept secret."
Lee's friends, family and co-workers make up the bulk of the event's volunteers and organizers. Her loyal support system coordinated every aspect of the fundraiser, including negotiating with vendors, building the obstacle course and designing the website.
"They're just outstanding people in how giving and organized they are," said Lee.
Ultimately, Lee hopes to forward the same empathy and comfort she received from friends during her recovery to others affected by cancer.
"Wipeout Cancer Sports Day is about the community of support I received as a cancer patient, and my goal of bringing people together to raise money doing the thing I love most--sports," Lee said. "When I was diagnosed, people around me offered an enormous amount of love, compassion, support and help. Cancer was a 'gift' in helping me prioritize my life and what is important to me, and that is giving back to others whose lives are touched by cancer."

This is totally not a "round the tubes" post. I already did one of those today.
FrnakJ would win "Quote of the Day if I let him in the contest, but I won't cuz he'd win every day.
So lax gun laws in other states than Illinois cause gun violence in Chicago but not in the states with the lax gun laws.
Heh. He's consistently made me laugh for 9 years. But don't tell him. He'll get a big head.
What with the problems in their global warmmongering, (Mann, hockey stick, lying sacks of shit, etc.) Penn State must have moved some global warmmongering 'scientists' over to their astronomy dept.
We all know the "Goldilocks Zone" (GZ) in astrogeometristics means the zone that's 'just right' for life. In other words, the distance from a star where a planet could conceivably support life. We only know of one planet, currently, that supports life so we used to base the GZ on Earth's orbit. That was the ignorant 'before', we're in the glorious 'now' so we have super-genius global warmmongers on the job.
the Penn State team suggests… farther away planets into the fold of life-sustaining planets, a… it also kicks some planets out of the hunt for life as too hot — including, oddly enough, our very own Earth,
Brilliant! You'd think one of them might look at that and say, "Uh, guys….." You'd be wrong.
So why do I say it's global warmmongers?
Clouds are just one factor that neither definition of the zone takes into account,
Neither do any global warmmongering models, and that's why nothing they do is useful. They just can't figure out how to model clouds (neither can I, but I admit it), so they just ignore them. It's Ostrich Science.
Seriously, it always make me laugh to think of going back to 1970 and trying to explain 2013. The crackpots living in the mountains waiting for the Russkies to invade because the US gov't invited them would think I was a paranoid loon.
Speaking of which, assuming there are around 250 million adults in America, does anybody really think that there aren't 249,999,999 people more fit for that job than Hagel? You know who this helps? That's right, Joe Biden. He's number 249,999,999. He's coming up smelling like…not shit!
Okay, this is heartening. Chicago and Boston have always been uber-corrupt but well run. They both had the biggest necessity for any, effective, political machine, a top-down hierarchy where the top tries to make sure Teh Peepul are happy. As we've seen in Boston, that might crumbling in Chicago . The fall of the Kennedys and the $billions in Big Dig money made insurrection thinkable in Boston.
Now we see something funnier in Chicago.
How, in the city of Chicago where the Democrat Machine is so strong, could there be 17 Democrat candidates vying for one open seat? It could hardly be imagined under the iron rule of former Mayor Daley.
How indeed. What we're seeing is people who want power, but think power means you tell people what to do and you know more than anybody else. Rahm doesn't understand what it takes to run a political machine, it's like a mafia family but with more guns. Daley was raised and taught by his father who perfected Chicago's political machine, and that was one of the most vicious but well run in the country.
The candidates run the gamut from completely clueless, yet dangerous in their ignorance to practiced Chicago pols like Alderman Beale and Robin Kelly,
Oh man am I rooting for the ignorantly dangerous. Chicago likes its politics and believes all the stupidities MSNBC spews out, let them actually live in that world. I picture people like Barbra Boxer or Maxine Waters, except even more stupid or they'd be in national politics instead of Chicago-city politics. They can pass a law mandating that all guns sold in Chicago have remote safeties that the police control or that they have smart bullets that don't shoot people with police badges.
Chaos is the best outcome from stuff like that.
A perplexing note. I understand economics and stuff like that about as well as a duck knows Thursday.
DrewM has a post about funemployment going up .1% (going up, that's the key point) and includes tweets from Ezra Klein (point and laugh) and the Wash Post (spit) where they claim that at that rate we'll be at full employment in 2022.
Unemployment went up, if we follow that trend we'll have full unemployment in 920 years. I don't see how we can have full employment if we're not creating enough jobs to actually lower employment.
I mean, I know Ezra Klein is an idiot, is that why DrewM posted those tweets? I hope so. If not, don't explain it to me, I'd have to burn you as a witch.
This needs to be posted again, not because I like it, but because it's so scarily true.
No links, just some uselessly late movie reviews.
Your Highness. Very funny. The only jarring note is the Hero Brother, they really needed someone much more Cary Elwes in that role.
Big Hand For The Little Lady. Old Henry Fonda movie with lots of people you'll know. One of the very best endings in any movie I've ever seen. I watched it on a rainy day while my friend and I played Scrabble or something otherwise I wouldn't have watched it. Great movie, great ending. A homesteader gets in a big money poker game, threatening to leave his son and wife destitute.
Gold Diggers. A 1933 movie about show business types in the Depression, it was on earlier. It' was very timely and hilarious.
Flapper/actress, "He's a genius!" about a singer/songwriter.
Director, "Hmmm, maybe show business could use a genius."
Red with Helen Mirren, excellent movie. John Malkovich rocks and Bruce Willis is at his best. They hide it (not sure why) but the girl has nice breasts. They don't hide Helen's, which I applaud. They didn't work in any tasteful topless scenes (I saw at least 4 chances with another chance for a light-petting, lezbo scene), but you take what you get.
Bubba Ho Tep, one of Bruce Campbell's finest. Elvis got sick of performing, traded with an impersonator but kept the right to take it back then lost the papers so now he's in a cheap nursing home about to be killed by a mummy. If you need any other endorsement, Lemur King doesn't like it.
And last but not least, the hockey strike was over like 2 weeks ago, why didn't anybody tell me? Are the Islanders mathematically eliminated yet?
Some Hotassery, we need it.
Or should.
I have a few Kathy Ireland left from the last post. She's yummy.
Important update, I talked about nice breasts and didn't even look for them? Man am I slipping.
Behold, Mary Louise Parker (from the movie Red) and her breasts.
