Lessons Learned
A memoir writing assignment unlocks memories of holidays past and a bittersweet childhood education
By Kevin Uhrich 01/01/2013
I started a recent class in Chicano Studies with the implicit understanding that, unlike my classmates, I, a white male in his early 50s, had never been oppressed, at least in any modern understanding of the word. All but three other students in this class at California State University, Northridge were of different Latino heritages, one was African American, and many of these kids, some young men but mostly young women in their teens and early 20s, already had many experiences in which they were targeted for trouble because of their skin color — by police, employers, even teachers. But not me.
After studying the roots of oppression and writing about my race and gender for this class, though, I came to better understand a different story about myself, one in which there actually were elements of not-so-subtle social exclusion in my younger years. Only these were byproducts not of my color, but my Irish Catholic upbringing and lower-middle class home; I was reared in a generally happy and loving family, but one that seemed to always be in need of money — conditions created by social forces beyond my comprehension when I was the age of my classmates.
It was for these reasons I decided I had a story to tell, as opposed to retelling one or more of the hundreds of yarns that I'd written as a reporter over the past three decades about dozens of people who had found themselves outside of society for one reason or another. Staying away from my experiences as a journalist, I turned to my past to connect with the person I am today.
You are there
I began this with a note about my father. If he were alive today, Dad would have turned 101 years old on Nov. 20. His name was John, but everyone called him Brud, which was short for Brudder, or brother, a nickname given to him by his younger siblings that he carried his whole life. My deceased mother's birthday is also in November. Her name was Faye, and she would have been 96 this year. Doing some quick math, this means Dad was 47 and Mom was 42 when I was born. Having older parents was both a blessing and a curse, especially as a teenager. Perhaps "curse" is too harsh a word, but on the downside, Mom and Dad were much older than the parents of my friends and not really that socially active, which, regrettably, I, in my ageist teenage way of thinking, found embarrassing.
One of the many blessings, however, was the transference of all the history these two wonderful, if sometimes hard-bitten, people possessed from decades past, times which they both could recall with such clarity that it was as though events like the Great Depression, the New Deal and World War II had all occurred only yesterday and not 40 years prior. The oral tradition that developed from sitting around the kitchen table and arguing about minutiae related to political and historical events imbued me with a deep appreciation for history in general and my own history in particular. Even if I didn't quite understand the feeling as a youngster, I somehow intuitively knew my life did not actually begin in 1959, the year I was born, but many years — centuries — before I arrived in the world. From childhood, I believed in my heart that I belonged in my little hometown, Lebanon, Pa, population 25,000, located about 90 miles west of Philadelphia.
My father was second oldest of 12 children and the oldest male in his family. As did his father and other teenaged children at the time, Dad worked at the dirty and dangerous Bethlehem Steel plant before, during and after the Great Depression. However, what only the older kids in the family knew was that Dad had been blacklisted from the giant steel manufacturing plant for his union organizing activities in the 1940s. Because he needed to help feed and clothe some of his own brothers and sisters, Dad had only made it through the eighth-grade and had few skills other than sports and steel work.
By the time he was 8, Dad was already so enmeshed in the community's culture of steel he served as batboy to Babe Ruth, who barnstormed with the Lebanon Bethlehem Steel's baseball team in 1919. Twenty-odd years later, though, all that ended, after he was fired following a serious work injury, a broken arm. The union-fearing Republican business owners of the time refused to rehire him after the union was finally approved, and he worked a full-time clerking position and other low-paying jobs.
Dad was a pretty athletic guy, and one of his many jobs was managing a local sporting goods store owned by one of the few Jewish people living in Lebanon, Charlie Baer, who was Dad's friend. Even though our family was devoutly Catholic, we also celebrated Jewish holidays with Charlie and his wife, Ruth. Another one of Dad's jobs was managing the local newspaper distributorship, the little city's hub of all printed information. This is where newspapers from around the East Coast were dispersed citywide by an army of boys pulling giant wooden wagons full of newspapers. The business was owned by another Jewish man named Dave Etter, who was also good friends with Dad.
My mother, on the other hand, was highly educated, read voraciously and worked as a registered nurse at the local hospital. But as a result of them working all the time, my three much older sisters — Cela, Martha and Mary, all in high school, with a fourth sister (Cathie, the oldest child) away, studying to be a nun at a convent in Philly — were responsible for taking care of me, two brothers slightly older than me and our modest home.
My eldest brother, Jack, the second oldest child, was from 1961 to 1965 a college student, with me just out of diapers. Deep in college-loan debt, Jack decided against teaching school in Lebanon after graduation. Instead, he married his girlfriend, Barb, the daughter of a local physician and former mayor, who treated me like her own little brother. They went on to live in such exotic places as Washington, DC, and Philadelphia, where he became a social worker and they joined the fledgling social resistance movements in those days. Short-haired and bespectacled, Jack, a former Republican for Nixon in 1960, was slowly becoming a hippie. However, while that transformation was occurring, Barb learned she had cancer. The disease spread quickly, and Barb died not long after that in a hospital in Philadelphia.
As soul crushing as Barb's death was, Jack's life went on, and when he returned home to visit, his hair getting a little longer each time, he would bring with him what seemed to me wild tales about the Black Panthers, anti-war rallies, communal living and mounds of magazines and other reading material unavailable in our little hometown. Periodicals like In These Times, The Guardian, The Utne Reader, The (old) Village Voice, The Nation and politically radical cartoon booklets were just some of the forbidden, or "verboten," publications I pored over at a very early age.
My parents frowned on Jack's radical political activities, mainly because historic little Lebanon had always been very pro-war (who do you think was buying all that steel?) and still remains that way, and because they were rabidly Republican. My parents had already felt the economic pinch associated with Dad being let go by Bethlehem Steel. They knew firsthand how petty, vindictive and frightened people with a little bit of money could be. They worried about my brother's physical safety, but they didn't discourage him.
More than anything, Mom and Dad were devoted to their family and to the Catholic Church, in that order. Mom took all the kids to services on Sunday, and Dad attended Mass every day at 6 a.m. in his later years. Even though he'd only made it through eighth-grade, the old guy was able to speak some Latin, which he learned as an altar boy. Although neither of them made much money, our parents sent us all to the local Catholic school, which back then charged only moderate to nominal tuition, not the exorbitant fees we see today. A better than good education was attainable, and they both sacrificed pleasures and dreams in their own lives so all of us could have such an opportunity. We helped with our own tuition by getting jobs, like delivering papers. I learned at an early age to try hard at things I liked, which, unfortunately, did not include school work. But during this time in my life, working as a paperboy in Dad's shop, I was also exposed to a number of great East Coast newspapers on a daily basis, along with all the stuff Jack was bringing home.
My knowledge of the world as I saw it then — much as I see it now — was molded as much by the reading material I was consuming, some of it revolutionary in nature, as it was by these very different but generally positive intra-familial relationships, which, by virtue of the family's size, represented, in many ways, a microcosm of the real world.
Although my mother was Welsh and Irish, and my father's side of the family possesses a very German last name, it was always with the Irish — Irish Catholics — that my family members and I most identified. That allegiance stems from the crack that the Irish Catholics helped create in my family tree more than a century ago, a split that remains to this day.
'Mackerel snappers'
My name is indicative of the mixture of European people who comprise my racial identity. "Kevin" is ancient Gaelic, Irish, as is my middle name, Patrick. "Uhrich," or "von Uhrich," is another ancient name originating in Germany that literally means "clockmaker." Thanks to research by an uncle, we learned that the Uhrich side of the family came to North America in the late 1730s. They settled in Pennsylvania to escape religious and political persecution in Germany, where Lutherans and Calvinists had been forced to live under the yoke of a Catholic ruler in the early 1700s, John William, Elector of the Palatinate and Duke of Newburg, writes Dr. Walter Allen Knittle in his 1937 book, "Early Palatine Emigration." Knittle believes crop decimation caused by ceaseless war was more responsible for the mass emigration than religious intolerance. Whatever the case may be, many of the real or imagined injustices those people fled were, in turn, used against their own family members in America more than 160 years later. In essence, they had adopted the tactics of their own oppressors in efforts to assimilate with the dominant Lutheran-dominated culture, even if that meant tearing apart their own family.
Grandfather John Uhrich, a steel worker, musician and, at the time, a Lutheran, met my grandmother, Katherine Murray, an Irish Catholic immigrant, around the turn of the last century. During this time, the Uhrichs in Lebanon were lawyers, doctors and law enforcement officials. But after the couple wed, grandfather's family disowned him for marrying not just an Irish person, which was frowned upon, but an Irish Catholic, which was absolutely verboten. But the two were in love, grandfather converted to Catholicism, and over the next many years they had 12 children together, the second oldest male being my father.
When Dad married Mom in 1941 (their 71st wedding anniversary would have also been in November), the same problem with religious intolerance presented itself again. Only this time it involved my mother's family, which was partly Irish but not Catholic. In fact, her parents, the Shields, were Protestant, and they absolutely forbade their five daughters from dating Catholics.
As a child growing up in Lemoyne, an all-white suburb of Harrisburg, Mom recalled seeing cross burnings on the lawns of some homes in her neighborhood. She often told us of her Sunday school teacher, the proud wife of a local Ku Klux Klan leader. Remember, at the time, Catholics and Jews were on the list of people the Klan hated, along with African Americans and "foreigners."
So when my parents married, my mother converted to Catholicism, defiantly memorizing all the prayers and performing all the rituals better than anyone born to the faith ever could. As a result, her parents and younger sisters shunned her and Dad. Then my parents, in turn, had eight children over the next 18 years, me being the youngest.
What is remarkable to me is the level of hatred people had for others, based not only on race but also religion. This was common. Being Catholic in Lebanon in the 1960s carried with it social stigmas that were prevalent throughout my childhood. At football games between the local public high school and our Catholic school, for instance, children from the other side and some of their parents would bring dead fish to the games, or effigies of the Pope, to taunt us. They called us names like "mackerel snappers" and "fish heads" for the Vatican's former rule against eating meat on Fridays.
One particularly elaborate display of all this animosity (they call it hate these days) was a makeshift coffin the public school kids had built and then placed a dead fish inside before parading it around at football and basketball games. What made this all the more remarkable was that it was done in the presence of, and in most cases with the consent of, school and law enforcement officials in attendance at these events. The message of all these theatrics was abundantly clear: Catholics were not welcome here. And believe me, rare was the day that my slightly older brother, Jim, and I didn't find ourselves in fights with the public school kids we had to pass each day on our way to St. Mary's Elementary.
'This is not a slum'
Of course, these social distinctions created their own economic realities, most of them negative. My first knowledge of belonging to any particular class came when I was 8 or 9 years old during a family dinner one Sunday after Mass. Jack, who by 1968 was sporting a beard to go with wire-rimmed glasses and now-flowing long hair, was deep into the movements for equal rights and against the war in Vietnam when he visited from his new home in nearby Philadelphia.
Our house in this racially tense, working-class neighborhood, comprising the extremely few African-American and Puerto Rican families who lived in Lebanon at the time, was old but sturdy. It needed work, and Dad and Mom always seemed to be fixing something. By this time, Dad was in his early 60s and Mom was in her late 50s. This was the first house they owned in the nearly 30 years they had been married, and they knew they would never own another.
Jim and I were mesmerized by Jack. We often mouthed some of his new radical ideas without really knowing what they meant. At dinner, Jim, who was sitting next to Dad, suddenly declared that we lived in a slum. He was just repeating something Jack had said earlier. But with that, Dad backhanded Jim across his still-open mouth, knocking him backwards and out of his chair. Dad stood over Jim, who was perhaps 12 or 13, and pointed his finger down at him: "This is not a slum," he growled through clenched teeth. "Never call my home a slum again." That act — much like a political theater performance meant to send a broader message — was aimed at Jack, my brother, Tom, and me as much as Jim.
In fairness to Dad, this was also the man who warmly and openly embraced one of Jack's girlfriends after Barb's death, Alice, a teacher my brother had met in Philly, who was African American. Rather than becoming undone, as so many parents might have in the racially volatile '60s, Dad made Alice feel as though she was part of our family, doting on her at the house and even putting his arm around her shoulder as he, she, Jack and I walked around our neighborhood after that year's Christmas dinner.
Dad was fearless in this sense. One day, a neighbor knocked on the door seeking signatures to get rid of an extremely poor and very loud family on our block, the Johnsons. Dad asked the man, dressed in a tank-top T-shirt exposing the intimidating tattoos he'd acquired in the Navy during the Korean War: What did they do that was so bad? More importantly, what was going to prevent this guy and other neighbors from getting rid of us when we acted up and got loud, which we did quite often? I was only 9 or 10, but I still vividly remember Dad finally saying, "Now get the hell off my porch," after bawling out the guy in front of our neighbors.
Tough women
Being raised in a family with four macho, intelligent males and five fiercely independent and capable women shaped the attitudes I've come to adopt over the past five decades about myself and the men and women I have known. In fact, looking back, it has been women in positions of power — much like the positions of authority that my Mom and older sisters held in our home when I was a kid — who have embraced me and propelled me through my career in journalism for reasons still not fully understood by me.
In our immediate family, the two closest boys to me in age were good students, excellent athletes and hugely influential in my life, showing me that being good at sports was not necessarily related to being a good man. As they had done, I also played football, baseball and basketball, and did fairly well at football. But I rarely viewed these activities as gender-enhancing exercises, primarily because my brothers didn't, and partly because my sisters at home were as physically tough as most of my teammates. If there was a fight between siblings, as there often was, all four of my older sisters could very easily hold their own with the boys.
Although Jack was an academic and not a jock, he dated a lot after Barb's death. One, a girl he had met after moving to New York, after he and Alice had broken up, was a tremendous influence on me. Her name was Jo, who, like Jack, was also a hippie. Jo was from New York and was also pretty tough, in a streetwise kind of way. She was also defiant, refusing to shave her armpits to satisfy anyone's false ideas about beauty, smoking cigarettes and pot, going braless, baking bread and making candles so they didn't have to use electricity, and generally living her life according to principles espoused by writers like feminists Betty Freidan and Gloria Steinem. She represented, in my young eyes, everything that was cool and good about the various movements of the day, especially the women's rights movement.
Jo was a rebel in every sense, and I not only loved her, I respected her. Jack and Jo eventually broke up, and Jack married again, this time to Arlean, who, like Jo, was also from New York, also Jewish and also extremely independent, extremely witty and very capable and self-assured.
It's interesting how, in later years, these same types of people would come to shape my professional life. When I first got into the journalism business in the early '80s, I was hired by Sandi Gibbons, the former city editor of the Daily News and now a spokesperson for the District Attorney's Office. A few years later, I worked for Thelma Barrios as an editor with the San Fernando Sun, which she and her son, Rick, operated. After that, I was hired as a reporter for the Simi Valley Enterprise by Managing Editor Jaque Kampschroer-Shehab, and when I was hired in Pasadena, it was by Star-News City Editor Jerrianne Hayslett. Later, when I went to the LA Times, I was hired by then-Editor Karin Klein. At the LA Weekly, Sue Horton, now with the Times, approved my checks. Here at the Weekly, former Associate Publisher Paula Johnson was my boss. There were many others, and many other women I worked with as colleagues when I was starting out. In those days, women were only beginning to emerge as reporters and editors in newspapers, and not only is my being hired exclusively by women over all that time unusual, it may be unique.
Better times
As I said, I originally wrote this essay for a class. It's already appeared as an excerpt in a book put together by our instructor, Dr. Alberto "Beto" Gutierrez. Better than most, Gutierrez knows these kids — and millions more like them — have already seen far darker days in their short lives than I'll ever know in the time I have left. But I wanted these young men and women to read it, to see that we aren't really that different, that hate doesn't discriminate, knows neither time nor geographic boundaries and thrives on ignorance, jealousy, greed and selfishness.
In retrospect, perhaps I never felt discriminated against because I was always taught to believe fighting those odious forces that kept our family down made us better than our enemies. We may not have ever won a football game against Lebanon High, a school whose student population outnumbered ours 5 to 1, but we bloodied a few noses trying. And that was good enough for us when it came to balancing the scales, which it seems we had to do with our hearts, minds and sometimes our fists every single day.

A special Christmas meal of Pork Lau Lau, Haupia and much more was delivered door to door. Hundreds of homebound seniors received their holiday dinners thanks to Meals on Wheels.
Click here to watch Nana Ohkawa's report.
Dozens of homebound seniors in Kalihi got their meals delivered by motorcycle volunteers.
"The first year people were a bit hesitant. They didn't want to open the door because they saw a lot of bikers, but now they are waiting for us and happy to see us," said Jesse Baker with Vietnam Vets, Legacy Motorcycle Club.
For 26 years, motorcyclists have added extra holiday bling and color to play Santa for Meals on Wheels. They deliver special feasts made of Kalua Turkey and sweet potato in one hand and have a wrapped present in another.
The seniors are happy to feel the holiday spirit, even the ones who forgot the volunteers were coming.
"I wasn't expecting this. I didn't think you guys were coming. I thought maybe it was supposed to be here yesterday and I forgot," said senior Randall Fishel.
He went on to say, "It's ono, it's the best."
Danielle Hershey, 16, has been helping out since she was a toddler. However, even with 14 years under her belt, the joy she brings to each home still catches her off guard.
"Sometimes I'll start tearing when I give it to them because it's so joyful to see their face and to see everyone come out and be a big part of this," said Hershey.
And other veterans of the club know it is a big part of many of the seniors Christmas Day.
"Sometimes for some people we are the only ones they see that day," said Baker.
More than 650 homebound seniors received meals and gifts. More than 200 volunteers helped make it happen.

"We have to do a better job of making contact at the plate and force them to make plays. We've been playing good defense, but tonight we committed too many errors," said Pettus head coach Anthony Ramirez.
"I know we'll work hard this week to get better and to be prepared for Woodsboro Friday."
Only three Lady Eagles were base runners in the contest. Hana Kruger reached twice on Falls City errors and Brittany Treviño was hit by a pitch. The Lady Eagles were no-hit by the Beaverette hurler.
It was a 4-0 game after one inning and the Falls City bats got three more runs in the second inning. The visitors failed to score in the third as the Lady Eagles played some solid defense behind pitcher Kruger. It was a 9-0 game after the fourth as the Falls City girls had two runners cross home plate. A six-run explosion in the fifth allowed the visitors to coast to the 15-0 victory.
The Lady Eagles will visit Woodsboro on Friday for a 6 p.m. contest. The Pettus girls will play host to Three Rivers on Tuesday night.

Alicia Silverstone Blasts Dogfighting App
The developer of the Android phone's new game apparently has a heart like a robot too. Kage Games, LLC, touts its Dog Wars app as "a game that will never be in the iPhone App store." And for good reason. Dog Wars encourages people to train virtual dogs to fight to the death and challenge other phone users to "dogfights." Alicia Silverstone was so appalled when she heard about the app that she wrote a letter to the CEO of Google, maker of the Android, and Kage Games, asking that they pull the game right away:
"As a mom-to-be and someone who has adopted and loved rescued pit bulls, I join PETA's millions of members in imploring you to cancel this game immediately. If one dog dies as a result of this game, you will not forgive yourself."
Dogfighting is so cruel that it is a felony in all 50 states, but underground dogfighting continues, and the Dog Wars game does nothing but encourage this violence against dogs and other animals.
You can help by contacting the Android market team and politely asking it to stop selling this sadistic "game."

this is horible!
… you have no clue what causes are worth fighting for. It's a stupid phone app and yet you rant and moan about it like people will go fight real dogs just because it exists. The real problem is people like you who can be so easily manipulated and used to fight useless causes. Go outside, find an animal shelter and HELP some REAL animals instead!
@Mark: Nobody is putting animals ABOVE human life. Our humanity is measured by how we treat ALL beings, including animals. Are you seriously justifying this game based on the fact that humans suffer too? As a human, isn't it a bit presumptuous to argue that humans are more important than animals? How convenient for us that animals can't disagree. (I'm betting they do, but us humans can't understand them.) We can hardly claim superiority when we have done nothing but destroy and exploit our environment for our own short-lived purposes.
how people can enjoy such a vile cruel event is forever beyound me. What kind of evil can stand by and watch two dog forced to fight, the thought of the bait dog breaks my heart, then just when you think it can get no worse they bring out a game glorifying this evil violent sport, How have peoples heart become so hard.
Hey Mark, all beings are equal in value – we even love you – if you ever experience cruelty and unkindness remember …did I ever say that was fun to watch?
Seeing the results of dog fighting many times I do not understand the twisted minds that subject one of the swwetest breeds to battling to their death. In todays society why would a company even think about promoting such cruelty. I say let the ceos spend an hour witnessing the outcome of dog fighting. Anyone with half of a conscience would NEVER promote such a horrendeous thing. how about if they are forced to live the lives that these poor dogs have to for just a day….
I would like to see the same people so angry and hurt, angry and hurt about children that are helpless! People that put animals above human life deserve to die. and don't worry I won't be on this web site again to see your sad comments. Well gotta go download that app!
I was seriously considering getting an Android next, but not anymore. Putting such an app on the market is unnecessary stupidity.
Dont worry too much – no one downloads Android apps anyway 😉
I LOVE Android but this app is awful. I hope this has no affect on real animals and I hope Android removes this at once and regains a bit of dignity.
That's absolutely sick! I mean seriously?! There's enough problems with dog fighting without making a **** game that encourages it.
I will be spreading the word to others not to buy this phone because of this sad, irresponsible, disgustingly abusive, cowardly app. People wonder why kids that grow up in this society are the way they are… ughhh
stop cruzimii!!! sunt niste oameni fara suflet!!!
DISGUSTING. Surely there are thousands of other games out there, why would anyone want to play a game of animal cruelty!! It is as bad as people watching bullfighting!
These are people who themselves have no eggs to himself to fighting. An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth so you should deal with them.
bestie lasciate stare i nostri amici animali!
I have written to them! Disgusting 'sport' and disgusting game!
ich hoffe ihr könnt mich auch so verstehen: ich finde es einfach nur grausam wie man das den besten tieren der welt nur antun kann solche leute gehören bestraft!!!!ich wäre sooo glücklich wenn ich einen HUnd hätte!! -,-
Stop this kind of censorship. Stop the assault on people's right to freedom of expression. Censorship just sweeps things under the carpet and makes them less visible. These aren't REAL dogs. I would be very concerned if they were.
and who said that dogs were man's best friend?? what kinda best friend would create an app that this?? Boycott the thing, send as many letters, as many emails as possible; we are responsible for these animals' well being!
THe picture with this article is so hurtful and i am sure it does not even scratch the surface. its like a hurt child, and it SHOULD have the same effect on heartless people who subject these defenceless animals to such cruelty for their pleasure and a few bucks. Hope the human race goes to hell.
This is Horrendous. We need to remind these people that we as Human race are responsible for taking care of animals and other. We are reponsible for the pain and suffering being created for others..
How can you promote such atrocious practice?? How can you tolerate such barbaric ….suppose to be…. game?? How can you call yourself .. a human being.. after witnessing such horrible scenes? Google stop it right now. Anne
How can you promote such atrocious practice?? How can you tolerate such barbaric ….suppose to be…. game?? How can you call yourself .. a human being.. after witnessing such horrible scenes? Google stop it right now.
Poor dogs.. 🙁 Stop animal cruelty now!!!
You promote this app and you are a real loser STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY NOW!!!!!!!!!!
Endless first-person shooter videogames are created to realistically simulate shooting civilians, and nothing is said but god forbid they make a pixelated dog get attacked by another pixelated dog. Talk about a double standard. lol
i m deeply hurt to see all dis…………..it has to be stopped immediately…..
What are poeple becoming when they have to start having these war games . soooo very cruel to these animals,I agree, this is bararic and needs to be stopped.dogs are suppose to be man's best friend.
please stop this cruel game
This action shows how far man is from light. It shows that man, in 21 century, didn´t get evoulution within yet. What shame! I hate animals cruelty, even in games.
this is terrible! i have an unconditional love for animals as do a lot of other people in this world. this is so wrong and not fair. they are innocent creatures who do NOTHING wrong to any human being. sick, pathetic, cold hearted people are at fault for any bad animal behavior. STOP DOG FIGHTING!
what on earth does this say about us as a society- the things some of us find entertaining??!!??!!! Discusting.
Please be a decent expample for the world-do away with that horrible game.
I have read all of the comments. There is a reason why most people do not take you bunch of hand wringing old women seriously. "oh my god they showed animals getting hurt in a video game". Pathetic.
They dont have the balls to fight themselves?! If its something enjoyable!
que cabrones!!!
Very disappointed that this type of app would be provided/promoted by anyone with any bit of humanity.
owners of these poor beautiful animals…should be thrown in jail to rot…..they have a voice to defend there actions ….these beautiful dogs dont have a voice and are at the mercy of these thugs
get rid of this asap!!
This is absolutely despicable. Are these idiots trying to promote this kind of violence. I think the makers of thus game need to be held responsible for their actions because these kind of games give the youths the idea that this inhumane activity is perfectly fine. This game needs to be banned and the creators should pay fines just for their pathetic stupidity.
Not only does this game need to be stop being sold cause its wrong. dog fighting is still a huge problem and we need to fix that
This is so sick and disturbing. Why would Google a huge corporation have to result in making a disgusting and cruel game?
I hate people who fight dogs. we should bring back cruel and unusual punishment for all the hatefull bastards who think of this as a sport cause its not at all a sport dogs are meant to be part of a family not a tool of pleasure
NOT THE BEST way to distinguish yourself from your main competition the IPhone boys…
why dont people understand whats unhuman..
Stop the curelty!

lol - you're right...it's not going to go over well
I think Gallo is the only untouchable on the knicks right now.
Chandler can be traded but I highly doubt it will be to help move Jefferies contract....most likely it will be for Curry's
If Jefferies 3 of 4 shooting from downtown was no fluke in the last preseason game, I can see him being easily traded for an expiring if he keeps that up.
Unless of course, say Houston realizes that McGrady's comeback is well like all the others and he can't play this season...and with Yao out with the foot fracture...
Right now they have 6'6 Hayes playing center, with no backup C and that's not going to cut it. Atleast if Curry gets back in decent shape by november, they would have a servicable bigman, plus a backup in Jefferies and then there's nate and chandler to pick up the scoring load...since mcgrady and yao are out.
And well $3mil in cash to sweeten the deal.
I'd hate to lose chandler, but there's a better SF that we're trying to catch next summer.
McGrady = $23.2 mil
Curry = $10.5 mil
Jefferies = $6.5 mil
Nate = $4 mil
Chandler = $1.2 mil
Cash = $3 mil
Total = $25.2 mil
That would be a HUGE amount of capspace next summer for 2 max free agents and the ability to resign Lee and get some other decent fill in pieces to round out the roster...
A knicks fan can dream right! lol

I had very bad clogged ducts--they are now unclogged but my milk supply dropped significantly and I had to supplement with formula. I tried to follow this good advice to increase my milk supply:
I first breastfeed, then give him formula, but I can't sustain this much longer as the baby often doesn't want the bottle after breastfeeding or doesn't want the breast after bottlefeeding. He's still taking 20 oz a day and I'm only producing about 1 oz per feeding. And he still seems hungry after the feedings.
I also take Mother's Milk Tea.
I'd like to at least try to breastfeed him a few times a day. Do you think I should try to breastfeed him just in the night/morning now and see if that works? I'd be sad to give up breastfeeding altogether.
Baby is 11 weeks old. Any advice is appreciated!!

Merchants irked over Barre parking
Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo Sandy Spargo, of Barre, feeds a meter before shopping at Next Chapter Bookstore in downtown Barre on Thursday.
BARRE As City Place continues to fill up, concerns about parking-related decisions city officials made to accommodate the multimillion-dollar project have started to overflow.
The second-guessing was in full force this week when more than two dozen downtown merchants and property owners attended a Wednesday night forum specifically called to answer questions about a perceived parking problem.
During a sometimes testy session that spanned more than 90 minutes, city officials endured criticism involving decisions to dedicate more than 200 public parking spaces at discounted prices to private developers of City Place and the Blanchard Block.
Mayor Thomas Lauzon, who called the meeting and did much of the talking, was both apologetic and unapologetic at the same time. He repeatedly apologized for how people felt about the City Councils decisions and any inconvenience they might create. However, he stood firmly behind those decisions.
Lauzons position did little to satisfy those who questioned the fairness and, in at least one case, the legality of parking arrangements that one described as a slap in the face to longtime merchants and another said treated them like second-class citizens whose parking needs were somehow less important than the new developers on the block.
Lauzon said he didnt believe those were fair characterizations, prompting push-back from some in the audience.
Brian LaCount, owner of BKs Computing, was one of them.
LaCount said he was puzzled by the process that led the council to guarantee preferential parking to City Place developer DEW Properties LLC and later to the local partnership that tackled redevelopment of the Blanchard Block. Both developers are being charged $60 a space less than the $180 everyone else in the city is required to pay for parking permits on an annual basis.
You say you dont feel like anyone was slapped in the face? I am one, LaCount said, kicking off a brief back-and-forth with Lauzon, who defended the councils decisions to dedicate 110 parking spaces for use by City Place tenants and up to an additional 100 spaces for use by the Blanchard Block.
Those were the negotiations, Lauzon started to explain before being interrupted by LaCount and then quickly cutting him off.
Can I just finish? a clearly irritated Lauzon asked.
Go right ahead because youre going to anyway, LaCount grumbled.
Those were the terms, Lauzon said, picking up where he left off. To get the state Agency of Education here, to get (City Place) built. We didnt offer (DEW) any parking spaces out of the box. That was what was required.
Lauzon, who acknowledged at the outset of the meeting that he has contracts to provide private parking for both projects on property he owns on Metro Way, said the council rightly focused on the greater good associated with growing the citys grand list and bringing jobs downtown.
(DEW) wanted those dedicated parking spaces, and without them they werent going to build the building, the Agency of Education wasnt going to come here, those other tenants werent going to come here and our downtown merchants werent going to have potentially 350 (new) customers, he said.
LaCount wasnt sold.
Youll have plenty of parking when the businesses are no longer there, because they wont be able to survive, he said.
Most werent that openly critical, and none echoed LaCounts prediction of doom. However, many expressed concern over what they perceived as a double standard and a parking shortage that hasnt yet materialized.
However, while City Place isnt yet operating at full capacity, its effects are already being felt by those who have historically parked along Merchants Row and Enterprise Alley, because 82 of those spaces are now off limits.
That, some said, has made finding permit parking spots more challenging and led to time-consuming walks.
Local lawyer and former City Council member Jon Valsangiacomo said that doesnt seem quite fair, suggesting that, at a minimum, the city consider charging everyone the same rate for parking permits.
DEW is paying $120 per space to have prime parking, he said, and were paying more to lose our parking.
Another lawyer, Gary McQuesten, described the 10-year renewable parking leases with City Place and the Blanchard Block as unfair and discriminatory and questioned the legality of dedicating public parking spaces for the exclusive use of a private entity.
I understand the good intentions behind it, but Im not so certain that its necessarily lawful, he said. You have to use public property for municipal purposes and not for private (uses).
Several suggested more City Place parking should be at the Barre Municipal Auditorium on Seminary Hill and with workers shuttled to North Main Street by bus.
Although Lauzon said he would explore that possibility with DEW, company representatives have indicated the 28 spaces the city has already penciled in for them at the auditorium are unacceptable and do not meet the terms of their agreement. The companys expectation is those spaces, like the other 82, be located in close proximity to City Place.
City Manager Steve Mackenzie spoke briefly and warned against knee-jerk solutions to a problem that has yet to be fully defined.
A committee has been conducting regular surveys to gauge the availability of parking downtown at various times of day, and that 90-day observation period will continue through June, Mackenzie said, noting the city is pursuing plans that would add surface parking downtown over the next several months.
Using voter-approved tax increment financing money, the city has acquired and will soon demolish a duplex on Campbell Place to expand an existing parking lot behind Northfield Savings Bank, according to Mackenzie, who said the city is acquiring and demolishing Ormsbys Computer Store on Keith Avenue to create another city-owned lot.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie said the city is pursuing grants that would finance the redevelopment and cleanup of a partly contaminated section of Enterprise Alley between Depot Square and Granite Street. That project, he said, will also create additional parking.
However, Mackenzie predicted there will likely be at least some inconvenience over the next several months as City Place and the Blanchard Block fill up.
For the next six to 15 months parking is probably going to be at a premium, and it will probably be tight, he said, welcoming suggestions like one calling for the city to abandon a confusing mix of meters that charge motorists different rates to park.
Several in attendance noted that downtown shoppers had taken to parking in metered spaces that can be used by those with parking permits because they could pay a quarter, instead of 50 cents, to park for an hour.
Sue Higby, executive director of Studio Place Arts, said eliminating that variable would help the city conduct more meaningful parking surveys during the observation period, while at the same time be less confusing to those who frequent downtown Barre.
While Mackenzie was preaching patience, Lauzon vowed the city would move swiftly to develop new parking on Campbell Place and Keith Avenue and, he hoped, would be permitted to pursue the expedited redevelopment of a recently acquired parcel on Enterprise Alley.
I think by the end of August we can pick up 50 to 75 spaces, he said.
With the Blanchard Block currently using only 21 of the 100 public parking spaces it has been promised, Lauzon said he has approached the buildings owners and asked them to consider using the parking he has agreed to develop for them on Metro Way before claiming any more city spaces on Merchants Row.
The lot proposed by Lauzon would displace the Barre Community Garden, which he has permitted to use his property rent-free since its inception.
According to Lauzon, the city is exploring other alternatives, including the possibility of making Jefferson Street one-way in order to allow nose-in parking in front of the Elks Lodge. Lauzon said after the meeting that nose-in parking could also create some extra spaces if it were implemented on both sides of Depot Square.
We are going to continue to look for ways to make parking more efficient, he said.
Although merchants were understandably concerned, Lauzon challenged any of them to have made a different decision when faced with what he viewed as unprecedented opportunities to enhance the citys central business district.
From my point of view it is going to be a lot easier for us to fix the parking program and to provide more parking for our downtown than it ever was to get City Place and the Blanchard Block to happen, he said.

ellery hanley pulls off the best leg tackle ever on a widnes player too.
I saw that tape very recently - fantastic action. Offiah and Hanley at the peak of their powers, simply awesome. Garry Schofield was also one superb player, I think people forget his amazing talent because of the way he puts himself across nowadays.
What is also interesting in that video - 1988-89 season - is that GB played a home and away series with France in the February. These games were played at weekend and players were pulled from their club sides in order to play in these fixtures. Happy days indeed.
How good was Emosi Koloto? One of the best running second row forwards I have ever seen. The guy was unstoppable in that season - as were Widnes. The had one of the most entertaining sides ever in that period.

I'm a sysadmin; it's my job to make sure my company's servers are doing what they're supposed to be doing when they are supposed to be doing it, and it's my job to solve any problems that interfere with that.
This job has given me what I call my Big Red Button Dream(tm): I dream of a separate entrance to my own office, with all of the monitors, servers, workstations, and whatever I need to do my job. No one sees me enter, no one sees me leave, no one knows if I'm working or sleeping. But when anything anywhere on the network breaks, a Big Red Button on the wall starts flashing to indicate a problem. In order to solve this problem, whether it's a service outage or a new server to build and deploy, I must reach over and smack that Big Red Button. This solves the problem, and I can go back to doing whatever it is that I am or am not doing. No one knows that all I do is push a button to fix every problem out there; all they know is that with me on the job, the systems never get in the way of the work they are supposed to do. Of course, the next step in the dream is to delegate the actual smacking of the button to someone else, but that requires there be someone else in my sysadmin cell, and it all kind of breaks down then.
This qualifies as a dream and not a goal because it is clearly unattainable, but maintaining this dream as a guiding ideal does a lot to keep me on what I see as the right track in my job as a sysadmin. In this two-part series, I hope to talk about how I use planning and automation in my quest to achieve this ideal, and specifically, why I begin both at the earliest possible point: when a server is built. Because not everyone truly understands the fundamental importance of planning and automation, the first part of this series will go through an explanation of the benefits of dedicating your life as a sysadmin to planning and automating everything you do, and the second part will focus on planning and automating the server build process.
Although I see automation as being contingent on planning, it is only when automation is attempted without planning that it becomes obvious how important the planning is. Therefore, I will discuss automation first, and that discussion will hopefully enlighten us as to the importance of planning.
From my perspective, automation provides five main benefits:
Reducing the amount of time a given task requires.
Automating a task means that less time is required each time that task is performed, which leaves more time to devote to other tasks, such as automation.
Reducing the opportunity for error in a given task.
Most tasks have to be done in certain ways, and leaving it to humans to perform those tasks leaves the chance that those humans will perform the task incompletely or incorrectly, or will break something essentially unrelated. When a task is automated, a preferred way can be found and the task can then be performed that way every time, essentially eliminating the chance for error in that specific task, as long as the automation was thoroughly planned and tested.
Reducing turnaround time for a given task.
While leaving more time for other work, automation also means that most work gets done faster. This is important in many situations, particularly while firefighting (solving service outages), performing work on production systems during short maintenance windows, or satisfying short project timelines. It is often worth spending more total time automating a task before it is needed because of the reduced time it takes to actually perform a task -- if it takes you twenty hours of scripting to successfully automate a four-hour task, but as a result you are able to fit it entirely within your server's two-hour maintenance window, then it was well worth the effort. This is, again, usually not possible without thorough planning and testing, which is often a significant portion of the automation time.
Enhancing and perpetuating configuration consistency across multiple systems.
In addition to humans potentially introducing error when they work, they also introduce something possibly more nefarious: individuality. Because they often cause outages of some kind, errors are usually caught and fixed, but when multiple people perform the same task in different but equally correct ways, there is no outage to catch. The problem with this situation is that once multiple people have started to do the same thing in different ways, system consistency is sacrificed. Once a network lacks overall consistency, it is far more difficult to come behind and automate. This situation also often ends up in a catch-22 of not enough to consistency to allow automation but a lack of automation causing consistency to deteriorate. In addition to making networks harder to automate, a lack of consistency also makes networks significantly more difficult to administer in general, because all the exceptions have to be kept in mind when any work is performed.
Providing a limited kind of process documentation.
Last but not least, an automated task is a documented task. It might not be well-documented (although hopefully the code is well-commented, at the least), but even if the person who did the automation leaves the company, you can still go behind and read the scripts. This is far superior to information leaving with an employee, and also provides a starting point for other employees to begin learning the process involved.
This is quite a lot, so you shouldn't need much more convincing. But in addition to these benefits, which I consider to be fundamental to automation and the main reasons for concentrating on it, automation allows you to package up a complex, senior-level task and delegate it to someone lower on the food chain. This provides the lower-level employee the opportunity to fully understand the task by reading and using the script, and it leaves the senior-level employee time for more important tasks, such as automation. Another great thing about automation is that it builds on itself; the more you automate the small tasks, the more you can build tools which automate the automation. This is obviously how my ideal of the Big Red Button happens: the button is the top of a very large pyramid of automation tools, set up so it can diagnose and solve any problem anywhere on the network.
As with all things, there are some caveats. Automation rewards in proportion to the complexity, repetition, or time consumption of a task, which means that sometimes automation ends up taking more time than it saves. Also, most of us are unfortunately hired into companies which already have computers, which often means that we walk into a situation with little or no consistency to start with; when this happens, we usually have to spend a significant amount of time bringing consistency to the network just to get to the point where we can start automating. This sometimes puts the benefits of automation far enough away so as to seem not worth it. Lastly, all automation requires significant testing, because by the time you notice there's a problem with your automation tool, it's usually too late to cancel it, and that is too large of a risk to take on a production system.

In the end, though, hopefully you'll see that, in the big picture, automation almost always profits you more than it costs. If you start by only automating the tasks that you get the biggest return on and then work your way down, you will soon find that there are only a few mundane tasks left to automate. Automating those last few tasks does take more time than it specifically saves, but now with that final automation, you have basically automated all of the low-level tasks on your network, and suddenly the whole is greater than the sum of its parts: instead of having to think in concrete terms about each task on your network, your tools provide an abstraction layer between yourself and the work you must do. This abstraction layer provides you a means of changing the way you think about your work -- instead of the network defining how you work, your tools do. Hopefully you've developed your tools to work the way you want them to, but if you haven't, you can reorganize how those tools work without actually impacting the underlying work they do -- this is the real benefit of this abstraction layer that the tools provide.
So you're convinced that automation is the way to go, and you're ready to get cracking. You are either starting with a clean slate, all your hardware ready to power on and install, or you have a network and you want to automate all of that time-wasting work that's been keeping you busy. Now I want to convince you not to start just yet.
Automation can and should save you significant amounts of time, but you can end up wasting all that time, and more, if you don't plan your automation. A plan can consist of as little as whom to inform and when to put it into production, but it can also be a project plan spanning months or years and requiring a complete rebuild of your network. Most plans are going to require some modification as you progress, but you will always have a better-designed, more complete picture solution if you make a plan before you start working.
At its most basic, a plan serves as a blueprint for your work, something you can use to remind yourself of what you are doing and in what order. In the same way, it allows other people, including your manager, and sometimes your users, to understand what you are doing and why. Because of this exchange of information, having a plan gives other people more confidence in your ability to do the job well, and you are thus much more likely to be given the resources you need to do it right and a better reward when it is all done.
Like any programming task, it is always best to work through an automation plan as completely as possible before beginning a full-scale implementation; there's no good excuse for doing 90% of the necessary work and finding out that your solution isn't compatible with your network, or that it's just not possible. The process of planning your automation should provide you with an understanding of the complexity (or lack thereof) of the task at hand and the confidence that your methods will be sufficient. This again makes you more capable of convincing others to provide you with the necessary resources to do the job right the first time.
With a plan, you, your users, and your managers will all be surprised far less by the results of your work. Nothing goes perfectly, but least when something does go wrong people will see it as a reasonable deviation from a reasonable plan, rather than the inevitable failure of someone with stars in his/her eyes.
As you get in the habit of planning the work you do, you'll find that your plans provide documentation of the network as you want it to be and your automation tools provide documentation of your network as it is. Between the two of them, it should be relatively easy for anyone to understand both the current state and the future direction of your network. This makes the loss of an employee less damaging, but it also makes everyone involved, from the low-level help-desk employee running shell scripts s/he doesn't understand to the manager who can't spell Unix to the users who have to change the way they work, feel like they are part of the ongoing work, because they can see and understand it as it progresses. It's all about people understanding and agreeing with your work, supporting you in doing it, and appreciating the amount of effort you had to do to get it done; this is what facilitates your work as you do it, enhances your company's understanding of your importance in the network, and just generally gives you the satisfaction of a job well done.
Once you're in the habit of planning your work, and you have progressed in implementing some initial automation plans, the plans become easier, because you have a clearer idea of the network and thus a more realistic idea of the work involved. This, combined with the already-completed automation, in turn makes the continuing automation easier, thus getting the plan accomplished faster. Just like automation, planning seems to feed on itself, but planning also provides your way of communicating to the rest of the world what you are doing, when, and why, which is often important if other people happen to use the servers you maintain.
Now you're ready to go build a plan to redo your entire network so you can automate it down to the last detail, aren't you? Well, once again, I want to convince you not to start yet. It seems that even in system administration, patience is a virtue.
Part one of this series was for those who weren't aware of how much of quality system administration depends on automation and planning; part two will focus on where the network starts: during the server build process. Nowhere is automation and planning more important than in the server build process, because it is the build process that determines how you will maintain your systems afterwards. An hour spent automating an install can often save you that same amount of time every month for the life of the server.

International Study Abroad Program
Students wishing to undertake a semester of study abroad at an institution that is not a University of Sydney exchange partner may apply to study abroad as a free mover.
As we have no formal exchange agreements with these institutions, students are required to organise all aspects of their study abroad independently. This includes admission, enrolment and all non-academic requirements such as visas, accommodation and all other travel, living and academic expenses.
Eligibility requirements for study abroad as a free mover
- Student must be enrolled in one of the following degrees administered by the Business School:
- Bachelors degree
- Masters degree
- Student must have an academic average of 60% in the degree within which they are applying to study abroad, including transfers and upgrades.
- Student must have sufficient general elective credit in their degree to undertake study abroad. Note that you may not undertake either core/foundation, compulsory or major/specialisation studies whilst abroad.
- Students degree must be in good order and consistent with the progression of their enrolled award course.
- Study Abroad destination may not be a university or institution with which the University of Sydney has an existing exchange agreement.
- Students must agree to abide by the University of Sydney, Student Code of Conduct whilst studying abroad as a representative of the University of Sydney Business School.
Steps to take
- First apply to the Business School to study abroad as a free mover. You should have researched and have a destination in mind by this stage. To do this fill out the Study Abroad application and submit it to the Staff and Student Services office.
- When the Business School has approved your Study Abroad in principal you should then organise Academic Approval for the individual subjects you intend to take. To do this, students must submit syllabus for the consideration of the Business School and the following supporting documents:
- Academic Approval Form (provided on successful application),
- A letter of offer or conditional offer from your host institution,
- A copy of your host institutions academic calendar, demonstrating the duration of study and;
- A letter or handbook/website extract demonstrating how many credit points constitutes full time study at your host institution.
- When you have completed your study abroad semester you must return an original or certified copy of your overseas transcripts to the Staff and Student Services office at which time your study abroad results will be added to your University of Sydney student record.
Important information
Please note that pre-approval to undertake study abroad is mandatory. The Business School will not accept transcripts for consideration from students who undertook study without prior approval or from students who undertook study at any institution other than that which has been explicitly approved as part of a study abroad application.
Please note that all study credited from a semester of Study Abroad will be credited as generic, unspecified Study Abroad credit irrespective of the field of study and will not count towards any compulsory requirement in your degree.
An example of how this would appear on your transcript is as follows:
BUSS9324 Study Abroad
Guide to academic approval for study abroad applicants
Academic approval is generally awarded on the basis of three factors:
- Appropriate level of study: Subjects credited to your University of Sydney Business School degree must be undertaken at an institution that awards an equivalent degree i.e. a Bachelors or Masters program. All institutions are assessed using the Australian Government's CEP Online (country education profiles) and the institution you have chosen must be recognised in this system as providing appropriate level of studies.
- Appropriate area of study: Subjects credited to your University of Sydney Business School degree must come from an appropriate area of study. For example, in the U.S.A. many universities will grant credit for participation in sports; however the Business School here in Sydney does not, so you could not expect credit for this type of study. Some other examples include: Yoga, scuba diving, dance and cooking. The University of Sydney Business School is the sole arbiter of the appropriateness of any studies undertaken that will be credited to your degree with us,
- Credit point equivalence: Subjects will generally be weighted in terms of an equivalent maximum, full-time credit load per year. For example, a full-time credit load at the University of Sydney is between 36 and 48 credit points/year whereas throughout most of Europe the equivalent is between 42 and 60 ECTS (credit points)/year. Your academic approvals would be weighted on the basis of the maximum full-time study load (i.e. 48 USYD = 60 ECTS).
Further information
Students can get further information from the Business School's Exchange Coordinator at Staff and Student Services office.

If you have spent time on the Internet, you're probably tired of hearing how we need more Strong Female Characters. For some reason, people don't seem to realize that sexism no longer exists today and both sexes are treated with complete equality, especially in the entertainment industry. If anything, men are the ones being discriminated against.
Seriously, think about all those roles that women selfishly hog up (e.g., passive victims requiring rescue, femmes fatales, joyless nags) that are off-limits to even the most talented male actors. It's time to stop this woman-centric hand-wringing on how to make female characters better and focus on helping the real victims of Hollywood sexism by asking: How can we make male characters worse?
I teamed up with fellow strong female writer C. Coville and we came up with what I think are some pretty good suggestions.
Getty Thinkstock
Here is a picture of a pretty lady. It's going to be a dry spell before there's another one, so get your fill.
6The Homme Fatale
Getty Thinkstock
"Why hello there. I didn't see you come in."
He wants power and is not afraid to use sex to get it. Sometimes he keeps his fly unzipped as a way to get easy access to police files and lawyers' offices. Other times he is hiding something behind him and attempts to distract the heroine by standing in front of it and lowering his pants suggestively while smiling and raising an eyebrow. If he is being interrogated, there's no need for him to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights or even lie; he just wears really short shorts without any underwear, and when the cops are in the middle of interrogating him, he leans back, opens his legs, and lets his testicles fall sexily out of one leg hole.

*streeeetch* "See anything you like, detective?"
If your show or movie has supernatural themes, you can use demonic possession or some other spell or curse to transform a formerly "good boy" character into an homme fatale. No matter what the character was like before, or how many similar transformations have come before it, you can always show demonic possession thusly: Make the possessed man pout seductively at the camera and then jump on the nearest character, male or female, and rub himself against her while talking about how happy he is that he is finally free to be a bad boy. If the possessed man has a chance to change his clothes after he turns evil, make sure his new clothes are far more revealing and show off the lines of his crotch.

If someone is forced to exorcise or otherwise harm your demon-possessed homme fatale, feel free to put in a few jokes about how he's always liked it rough, and make him moan and toss his head around sexily while he's in pain, occasionally pausing to gaze sultrily at the heroine, his chest heaving.
5The Wet Blanket

The girls in your movie know how to have fun, but at least one of their husbands is a crazy killjoy. This guy yells at her that she does not have responsibility, and she looks at her friends and rolls her eyes. Sometimes the girls are doing crime together, and the man is at home worrying that they will be caught for their crime. "What were you doing? Were you out doing crime?" he yells when she comes home late, while tears drip into his beard. He is upset and unfulfilled because he can't have as much fun and excitement as the character who is doing crime, but he's just too uptight to loosen up.

"And what are the neighbors going to think when they find out you're doing crime, huh? Did you think of that? Do you ever think about anyone except yourself?"
Maybe this character was once fun, back when he first met the main character. But now he's always caught up with things in the house, like mowing the lawn and chopping lumber and worrying if the joint compound he used on the drywall looks just right. Whenever the main character wants to go out and have fun with her friends, he is always pointing at that big pile of lumber he has chopped for her and complaining about how she is not using it. Even if his wife has a job or mission that is extremely important, like being a superhero or invading a country because she is president, the nagging husband will still bug her to spend time with him and help him fix the drywall, because nags have no sense of priorities.

"Bomb threat at your precinct? Screw that, we need to talk about how to stack this lumber."
If the movie is more serious, maybe the main character occasionally flashes back to when her husband was younger and more fun, and had longer hair and more clearly defined abs. The main character might even be tempted to cheat on him with a young waiter at her favorite breakfast bar, who has no personality other than being there to flirt with her when the plot demands it. One time the main character spills tomato juice all over the waiter's pants and starts to dab it dry without even thinking what she is doing. The waiter just blushes and giggles, and it sets up a major moral dilemma.
Whatever she ends up deciding, the waiter is fine with it, because who cares how it affects his life, he's just a test.

Advanced Micro Devices said that there was no core wars incoming. Efficiency will be more important than core count in the coming years, according to the new chief technology officer of the server unit of AMD.
"There will come an end to the core-count wars. I won't put an exact date on it, but I don't myself expect to see 128 cores on a full-sized server die by the end of this decade. It is not unrealistic from a technology road map, but from a deployment road map, the power constraints that people expect [servers] to live in wouldn't be feasible for chips with that many cores," said Donald Newell, AMD's chief technology officer for servers, according to IDG News-Service.
It is possible to integrate 50 or more x86-compatible cores into single chip akin to Intel Corp's SCC. Unfortunately, simplistic cores cannot solve all today's tasks, as a result, it makes sense to use both simple stream cores as well as complex x86 processing engines. Once software makers learn how to most efficiently use heterogeneous multi-core chips, the market will face a major change.
"There is nothing to prevent us to put specific features on die that enable more efficient processing. So you should expect to see heterogenous architectures to emerge where we identify functions that are broadly useful but don't necessarily map into an instruction that you'd want to add directly into the x86 architecture," said Mr. Newell.

Has anyone had a problem with the electric Dr. Brown's breast pump? Mine seems to have lost most of it's power. I went on the babies r us website to read the reviews on it, and it doesn't even show up anymore. They were listing the Dr. Brown's customer service number. So that tells me there's been problems. I called and they are sending me a new motor. I am hoping this is why I haven't been getting much milk when I pump.
I was just wondering if anyone else has this pump and is experiencing problems with it. I also wanted to get the word out about it.

Take the Snakes
My last sentence in my last entry said "Rockies make me wish I was watching this game on TV" as I have been taking in the road games via Gameday Audio on my computer. Last nights game against the D-Backs was one I would have liked to have watched.
Brad Hawpe has been one of those Rockies who I know is good but never payed a lot of attention to. Brad is a trooper and I like his style.
As long as my kids haven't lost their wristbands they'll get to run around the bases after the game on Sunday as part of the Rockies Rookies Kids Fan Club.
I just watched an interview with Steve Martin talking about the making of "The Jerk".
It's hard to believe it's been 30 years since that movie was released. If you have never seen it, it's a must see classic.
Everybody has their favorite line in "The Jerk"
Mine is… "He hates these cans!"
De La Rosa will be on the mound this afternoon hungry for his first win. This would be a great time to see him shine. A win today would give us the D-Back series and send the Rockies back home with a postive vibe and a few wins under their belt.
The Rockies are going to need it because say what you want,….the Dodgers are no joke this season. Manny Ramirez is a huge part of the enthusiasm of his team but in reality the Dodgers have many weapons besides his power.
I want to see the Rockies destroy the Dodgers here at Coors. I want to see Helton hit his first homer at home. I'd like to be the lucky SOB who catches that homer but seeing it would be sufficient.
I wait at the gates for them to swing open,
Excited for the game and a win I'm hopin.
Players on the field the batting cages are out,
There's a shot to left field it's mine no doubt.
It's a piece of the game it's all part of the fun,
and if you're on your game you might get more than one.
To be continued…D

Good luck in the game today and have a great time at the game over the weekend!
Hey D,
Well, that's better and DLR sure came through. Hope you have a great time at the games this weekend.
Hiya D., great job with the blog, I wish the Rockies could perform as well as you do with the "rant". Best line from The Jerk…"What kind of cigarette is that?……..JOINT!"…lol
Thanks Julia, possible rain Sat and Sunday..damn
R-LUV-Thanks, you have fun this weekend.
JIM-Sup buddy? Thanks I appreciate those kind words from you. When is your trip to Coors this summer?…D
The Jerk is possibly Steve Martin's best film, EVER. I don't think I've ever seen him to better comedy at any other time in his life then when he was on the set of that film. Anyway, email me back and let me know what you want to do about that thing in September D…I'm down for that. Although, you're going to have to put up with a Mets fan It should be an awesome series though. Get back..
– Donnie
D- One of the commentators said that Brad Hawpe had a Ted Williams style of hitting, which I took as a huge compliment toward him! I've been so impressed with Hawpe! Hopefully I'll see you at the game tomorrow!
EMILY-Hawpe's stance at the plate is interesting. He is the spark right now. Game in a few hours..see ya there.
DONNIE-It is his best film. He got weird after The Jerk, September brotha…D
I was watching "The Highlander" last night and can still not believe that was made in 1986. Am I getting old, or are the movies just aging really quickly?
I put Brad Hawpe on my MLBBloggers Fantasy Team because I truly thin he is going to have a banner year in 2009. He has been under the radar, and people discount people who play in Denver for some reason.
I had an old buddy who was in the Rockies farm system in 2006 who tld me about Hawpe, and I have been waiting for his time to come in the MLB.
"The Jerk" is the movie that paved the way for Steve Martin to get another classic like "Dead Men Wear Plaid" into our hearts and minds. You should read his autobiography. His Dad was not fond of his comedic ways, so he left home and went to San Francisco to begin his comedic roots. Great "Wild and Crazy" guy. I think he still holds the record for hosting SNL.
Rays Renegade
RAYSREN-I forgot about "Dead Men Wear Plaid" that was a great movie. I also agree the Rockies are overlooked or underlooked on a regular basis. I hope at some point that may work to our favor again as it did in 2007. Ahh "The Highlander", "There can be only one" I loved that series, but it was a long time ago. Some year I plan to watch the entrire series of "The Sopranos". I've never even seen one episode…D

text: I recently had an IUD put in and got my period about a week later. Since then I feel that my milk production has decreased. My old routine was feeding 1-2 times during the night, then pumping in the morning when I wake up, then again in the middle of the day and before I go to bed at night. In between pumping I would either BF my LO or bottle feed what I had pumped that day. I was pumping about 20-25 oz a day and would freeze half of that (saving for when I went back to work). Now I am still feeding 1-2 times during the night and pumping when I get up, but during the day I am only pumping about 10 oz. still BFing in between pumping. Is the decrease in milk production due to my period? How can I get my supply back to what I had before?

Map of Mars When There Was an Ocean
Dr. Brian Hynek of the University of Colorado and fellow geologists have mapped out the once great northern Martian ocean. The great northern ocean (no official name yet) was around 3.5 billion years ago! (For reference: the rocky planets are estimated being about 4.5 billion years old).
Another study by the group revealed the existence of 40,000 river valleys on Mars. The mapping of river valleys and deltas is useful in the exploration of whether or not there was life on Mars. Dr. Gaetano Di Achille stated that knowing where deltas were was useful because "[o]n Earth, deltas and lakes are excellent collectors and preservers of signs of past life. If life ever arose on Mars, deltas may be the key to unlocking Mars' biological past."
Good for these geologists to be applying their skills on the other planets. It is such a shame no physical geographers lent their skills to this or other related projects. We geographers are still stuck on the Earth.

I've never understood why the only "liquid" the scientists can come up with on Mars is water. True, there are areas on Mars which look as though they were carved by water. When you consider the lowered atmospheric pressure and the constant winds and dust in the air on Mars and the total absence of water then one can see the volumes of flowing dust through the eons as having done the carving, not actual water. I realize this is a heretic thought in some circles but I don't believe actual water was ever present in any quantity on Mars.
- Catholicgauze said...
I am told that the geomorphology of the valleys matches to a "T" Earth-based liquid-formed valleys. The book Traveler's Guide to Mars is a good read on the geology/geography of the planet.
While some may call you a heretic, I wasn't on Mars when it was forming and I lack the physical geographic skills to know for sure, so I'll avoid throwing that term around. I wish you the best of luck in your personal study into finding if there was water on the Red Planet or not.
- pensive-art said...
I have seen similar maps on the theme of terraforming;
for instance.
- ocean facts said...
It's the same as Earth if you add the elements of nature and water.
Since we have determined that there is in fact large quantities of water ice just below the surface of many areas on the red planet, we can take the geographical formations as having been created by water as it is the most likely event. Mars, Venus and us are in the "Goldilocks" zone of the solar system, so since water has been found on Venus and Earth to be the primary shaper of the geography, it is reasonable to infer that water was equally responsible on Mars. There is a thin atmosphere on Mars that may have once been far denser, which would make the planet warm enough for liquid water on the surface, at least part of the year.

The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.
Oath of Office
I, (state your name), having been elected to the office of City of Cudahy (elected position), in and for the City of Cudahy, in said County, do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States, the constitution of the State of Wisconsin, and the Codes of the City of Cudahy and will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of (elected position) to the best of my ability.
Doing Right By Whom?
While being an elected person, an alderman in this case, you have to constantly remind yourself "Who do you work for" - The taxpayers, the residents, and NOT the City. I don't work for the Mayor, the DPW or any of the City workers.
A Look At Elected Cudahy Governmental Ideologies
If hindsight has 20/20 vision forethought is like a hawks with 20/2 vision!
2013 Cudahy Spring Election Public Forum
Come and meet your election candidates.
Odds and Ends!
Some people have claimed it was a shock that I was running for alderman. I have taken all of this with great thought and anyone that has been reading the blog since 2010 knew I would be running for Alderman in 2013 as I talked about it in many blog posts.
When You Open The Door Do They Have A Mask On?
During this election season, when people come to your door, are they being genuine, open and honest or are they wearing a mask as if it is Halloween and hiding who they truly are?
Cudahy's Undiagnosed or Misdiagnosed Business Conditions
I am told that people get it, Cudahy has a development problem, and they know Mayor Day has done very little if anything to address it let alone fix it!
Common Council Meeting Today
Further below is the meeting agenda. As you all look at, notice Mayor Day is going to give updates to Packard Plaza. So do you think if I didn't make this a big point and it wasn't an election year he would be talking about it?
Let's Talk Some More on the Dysfunctional City of Cudahy
I have talked about that development is a major issue in Cudahy and that our different segments of City Government pertaining to it are not on the same page, no check that, not even in the same book. It is dysfunctional and with dysfunctional things it is spreading to other things. It spreads like cancer.
Let's Talk About Hiding Something in Plain Sight
So if you travel to the Cudahy Economic Development site you will see this:
Cudahy Info and Rumors
So it is that time again that we find ourselves with a City that just doesn't want to get information to the public! It makes me think that underhanded things happen and are happening. This leads us to have to fish for information and lets rumors fly. Well you know I will air them out and let things fall where they may. Flush them out and bring light to them in a city so bent on keep people in the dark which keeps the rumor mill working overtime.
Here Is a Typical Reason What Is Wrong In Cudahy
Listen up Mayor Day, Alderpersons and the Head of the

Area covered in blanket of snow
Several inches of snow blanketed the area Monday morning, causing a series of minor auto accidents in surrounding counties.
Motorists need to remain cautious, however, as more snow is predicted for today as part of Winter Storm Virgil.
"We're looking at a lot of snow," said Liz Sommerville, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service in Charleston.
Sommerville said residents of Elkins could expect 1 to 2 inches of snow Monday evening into this morning and an additional 1 to 2 inches through the day today.
On top of that, she said, meteorologists are predicting an inch of snow tonight. But total accumulation may be partially alleviated by rising temperatures.
"Tuesday and Wednesday temperatures should warm up above freezing," Sommerville said, "so there is a chance of snow melting."
Precipitation should continue through Thursday, Sommerville said, and snowfall should cease by Thursday evening.
Daytime highs listed on the NWS website are 36 degrees today, 37 Wednesday, 38 Thursday and 43 Friday. The low tonight is expected to drop to 26 degrees and to 24 degrees Wednesday and Thursday night.
A winter storm warning issued by the NWS Monday afternoon – which will be in effect until 2 p.m today – says the storm system will most heavily affect higher elevations in Randolph, Pocahontas and Webster counties.
Snow accumulations are expected to reach 8 to 16 inches and should make for hazardous road conditions.
Jim Wise, the Randolph County Office of Emergency Management director, said officials in his office are monitoring weather conditions and keeping in contact with the West Virginia Department of Transportation.
"We anticipated this (storm) and knew it was coming," he said.
Randolph County E-911 officials reported county law enforcement responded to a number of calls from drivers on Monday, but most accidents involved cars sliding into ditches or other minor mishaps. As of Monday morning, E-911 said there was one such event on Route 219 and a separate incident in Coalton.
West Virginia State Police in Parsons echoed Randolph County officials by saying that they responded to two similar emergency calls Monday morning in Tucker County. But police arrived only to see that drivers had freed their own vehicles.
State Police officials in Moorefield said there was one minor incident involving a single motor vehicle so far Monday, and Hardy County E-911 officials said there was an accident on Route 259 involving two vehicles and resulting in no injuries to either driver.
The most serious accident of the morning was reported by Senior Deputy Steve Wratchford, an officer with the Grant County Sheriff's Department.
He said James Edward McKenzie was driving a Ford F250 on Route 28 Monday morning at approximately 8:45 a.m. when he slid into a tree near Smoke Hole Caverns. Wratchford said the driver was uninjured.
In addition to McKenzie's accident, Wratchford said there were four other reports Monday morning of drivers who had slid into ditches. He said the other wrecks weren't serious and there were no reported injuries.

Police: City fire 'suspicious'; drug arrest made hours before blaze Updated - 11:25 a.m.February 21,2014Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
City firefighters battle a blaze at 42 Cleveland Avenue this morning.A fire that started at a Rutland apartment house that police had raided just hours before is considered a suspicious blaze by Vermont State Police fire investigators who are combing the charred scene at 42 Cleveland Ave.
No one was injured in the fire at the two-unit apartment building. City firefighters at the scene this morning said the occupants of the home were out of the building when they arrived shortly after 5:45 a.m. and none of the crews called out during the general alarm blaze were injured.
By 9 a.m., the fire in the two-story home was doused. There was little fire damage to the first or second floor but the attic space was heavily damaged by smoke and flame.
While the top of the building burned the most, fire officials said the blaze appeared to have started in a ground floor entryway before climbing to the attic.
David Covell , the policy advisor to Rutland's chief of police, said this morning that police executed a search warrant at the home at 8 p.m. Thursday and arrested 41-year-old Colleen Keefe. She was jailed and will be arraigned today on a felony charge of possessing crack cocaine.
Anyone with any information regarding the fire should call city police at 773-1816.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...
