8/27/12 at Yankee Stadium
Do you remember when I caught my 5,000th ball on 5/28/11 at Rogers Centre? Check out this video of it and look for the fan in the yellow and black striped shirt. You can see him right at the start, and then he gives me a high-five at the 22-second mark. He had brought copies of two of my books — How to Snag Major League Baseballs and The Baseball — and we got a photo together later that day. Is any of this familiar? Yes? Maybe? Well, I'm mentioning it because that fan was at Yankee Stadium with his copy of my other book, Watching Baseball Smarter. Here we are together outside Gate 6:
His name is Jon, and it's a little bit frightening, but he's only 13 years old. The dude is built and has BOSS sideburns (not to mention a voice that's deeper than most adults), and he's barely old enough to . . . umm, what can 13-year-olds legally do nowadays? Umm . . . have a Bar Mitzvah AND set up a Facebook account! (Two things I've never done.) But anyway, it was great running into him again. This was his first game ever at the new Yankee Stadium, and I'm glad to say that he snagged two baseballs during BP. The first was a toss-up from CC Sabathia, and the second was a Raul Ibanez home run. As for me . . .
When the gates opened at 5pm, I headed to the 2nd deck in right field and found this:
Then, as I made my way down to the front row, I found two more balls, so my day was off to a great start. Two minutes after the stadium had opened, I was already thinking about double digits.
Unfortunately there weren't any home runs hit into the 2nd deck while I was there, and I didn't get any balls thrown to me either. The Yankees, by the way, are *great* about throwing balls into the crowd, especially to little kids standing in the front row. I've never seen a home team give so many balls away, which is a shame because that's how it oughta be at every stadium.
I moved to left field for the Yankees' final group of BP and caught a Jayson Nix homer on the fly. It came right to me, but it was still a tricky play because there was an old guy with a glove standing directly in front of me. When the ball reached the top of its arc, I had to decide whether to move in front of him and try to make a leaping catch . . . or to stay where I was and hope that he wouldn't be able to reach it. I decided to stay back, and sure enough, the ball ended up sailing one foot over his glove. Don't feel bad for him, though. He was a good sport about it and caught a Blue Jays homer later on.
As for the Jays, I moved into foul territory when they started playing catch . . .
. . . and figured I'd get at least one ball thrown to me — probably two.
So much for that.
I couldn't recognize most of the players, and I got ignored by the few whose names I knew. It was terrible, and while I was there, three home runs landed within 10 feet of my spot in straight-away left field. By the time I headed back out there, the seats were packed:
I mean, there was NO room to move, but I still managed to snag three home run balls. The first landed directly behind me and nearly hit the security guard who was standing in the tunnel. (I would've caught it on the fly, but I was several rows below the landing spot and got blocked on the stairs.) The ball smacked off the pavement, bounced off the metal fencing above the tunnel entrance, and ricocheted in a perfect/straight arc back in my direction. I took a step back and then jumped as high as I could (on the very crowded staircase) and caught it. The next two homers pretty much came right to me, and I caught them both on the fly. (I got hit in the face on the first one by some guy who carelessly waved his cap at it.)
That brought my total for the day to seven, but I only had five in my backpack. That's because I'd given two baseballs away to kids.
I headed to right field for the final group of BP, and as you can kinda see in the following photo, the sun was brutal:
I snagged one home run ball out there, but should've had three. I don't know what the hell was going on inside my head, but as soon as I entered the section, back-to-back homers landed near me, one of which came so close that I nearly got hit by it. I never saw either ball coming, but not because of the sun. I simply wasn't paying attention to the batter, and I'm not sure why. I must've been getting settled into my spot — you know, looking all around to identify the competition and to figure out where I was gonna have the most room to run, but that's no excuse. As for the one home run that I did snag . . . I ran and jumped for it in the last row and would've caught it on the fly if not for a fan directly above/behind me in the bleachers who reached out and bumped my glove with his. (Of course, HE probably would've caught it if *I* hadn't been there, so I can't complain.) The ball bounced off my glove and landed in the second-to-last row, where I was able to grab it.
That was it for BP.
Eight balls.
Not bad.
But I felt I should've had at least a dozen.
Shortly before game time, I got my 9th ball of the day from Alex Andreopoulos, the Blue Jays' bullpen catcher. (For some reason, I neglected to take photos of this. Sorry.) He was in the left field bullpen and tossed it to me over the side fence. At the time, there were two adolescent girls decked out in Blue Jays gear, who were standing directly in front of me. The ball had sailed just over their outstretched arms, so I offered it to them.
"That's okay," said one of the girls. "We already got one."
The girls ended up getting another ball from Andreopoulos five minutes later — and five minutes after that, he threw me another! I'll admit that he wasn't aiming for me this time, but for the record, it's not like I robbed anyone. There were a bunch of fans crowding the fence, so he lobbed it in our direction, and what can I say? It happened to come right to me, and I happened to reach up higher than everyone else. As soon as I caught it, I handed it to the man standing next to me — a friendly guy named David who had recognized me from this blog. We'd been talking for several minutes, and he had mentioned his three kids, so I gave him the ball to take home to them. Normally I don't give away balls in these situations — I need to SEE the kid to believe it, and of course I *don't* like being asked, but David didn't ask. He'd actually been telling me about some of the balls that his kids had snagged earlier in the season, so I didn't feel pestered. He was really cool, in fact, so I was glad to hook him up.
Fast-forward to the bottom of the 4th inning. I was sitting in right field and blew my chance to catch a Robinson Cano homer — and to make matters worse, it cost me $10. Take a look at the following photo, and then I'll explain what happened:
When Cano first made contact and sent the ball flying in my direction, I took a step back and paused for a split-second. I thought it was going to sail deep into the seats, but then I realized that it was going to fall short, so I quickly scooted down the steps. See the guy with his feet up (directly in front of the kid with the cotton candy)? He wasn't there at the time, so I moved into his row and reached out with my glove for a waist-high catch. That's right. Despite briefly misjudging the ball at first, I was able to recover and make it to the exact spot where it was going to land. I thought I was going to catch it FOR SURE. I mean, like I said, I was actually reaching out for it, and not even with full extension. I had it all the way. Take another look at the photo above. See the arrow pointing to the fan in the second row, toward the left side? He's sitting just past the guy in the orange shirt, and he's turning around to talk to someone behind him. Well, that fan came flying out of nowhere and lunged right in front of me at the last second and caught the ball on the fly ONE FOOT in front of my glove. I practically caught his glove with my glove. That's how close I was to catching this ball. I was more stunned than pissed, but it still hurt. I mean, good for him. He was wearing a Cano jersey, and I learned later that he was only 15. He did everything right and made a helluva catch, and I congratulated him later, but as for me . . . I was really bummed that I'd misjudged the ball. You know how outfielders sometimes get fooled by big swings and take a step back before running in? That's what happened to me. It's a perfectly excusable thing to do, but I was still mad at myself for not reading the ball quicker off the bat. If I had, I would've been able to scoot all the way down into the empty camera well, where I would've been able to make an uncontested chest-high catch. As for the $10 . . . do you see the other fan with the arrow pointing at him? Well, right after I failed to catch the ball, I felt something under my left sneaker. It turned out to be his box of chicken tenders and fries. He was chill about it, and I was actually the one who said something first. I began by apologizing and then offered to buy him a new one — or to give him the money. He kind of shrugged and nodded, so I asked how much I owed him. He pulled out a receipt for $15, which thankfully included another item that I hadn't trampled. The chicken and fries had cost $10.50 — a dollar CHEAPER than it is at Citi Field! — so I offered him ten bucks. I would've given him the full amount but (a) I didn't have change and (b) I noticed that it was partially eaten. He accepted the money and never bothered to go spend it. The whole situation was a disaster for me, and the more I sat there and thought about it, the more upset I got. I even considered leaving. What were the chances, I thought, of another home run landing in the same spot in the same game? Not very good. It was crowded. I was tired and sweaty. I was hating myself, and I just wanted to escape. I wanted to go home and get naked and eat ice cream in my air-conditioned apartment with my girlfriend.
It's a good thing I stuck around.
After sitting in right field for the first eight innings, I decided to run over to left field for the top of the 9th. That's because the Jays, who were trailing, 6-4, had three right-handed hitters due to bat: Yorvit Torrealba, Moises Sierra, and most importantly Adeiny Hechavarria, who had a grand total of ZERO career home runs. Because I didn't have a ticket in left field, I wasn't able to enter the seating area, so I hung out in the tunnel and chatted with the security guard.
Torrealba worked the count full against Yankees closer Rafael Soriano, but then went down swinging. Sierra followed with a single up the middle, and Hechavarria popped out to Cano. That brought up Rajai Davis — another right-handed batter — who managed to keep the game alive with a grounder that snuck through the left side of the infield. Sierra went to 3rd base on the play, but so what? His run didn't mean anything, and the game was probably gonna end anyway.
The next batter was Colby Rasmus, a power-hitting lefty. I remember thinking, "Crap, I should really be in right field," but it was too late, so I just stood there and watched, not even sure what to root for at that point.
Rasmus took the first pitch for a ball and launched the next pitch into the second deck in right field — a 381-foot blast that I had no chance of catching — and just like that, the Blue Jays took a 7-6 lead. Edwin Encarnacion then ended the inning with a strikeout.
So . . . there was now going to be a bottom of the 9th. Derek Jeter was due to lead off, but I wasn't really thinking about his at-bat. Nick Swisher and Robinson Cano were gonna be coming up after him. THOSE were the guys that I was looking forward to seeing, so I slowly made my way back to right field. First I said goodbye to the guard. Then I took a peek at my phone. Then I walked back through the concourse.
By the time I started heading into the corridor/tunnel that leads to the right field seats, Jeter was in the process of taking the first pitch for a called strike. This was my view just before the next pitch was about to be thrown:
The guard waved me down — you know, told me to "go ahead" despite the fact that the at-bat was in progress — but I declined.
"Thanks," I said, "but I'll wait here for one more pitch. I don't want to block anyone's view."
Guess what happened on THAT pitch: Jeter connected on a fastball . . .
. . . and sent a deep, towering fly ball in my direction. I knew immediately that it was going to be a home run, and I also knew (simply because it was Jeter and because it was hit so high) that it was not going to land deep in the section. Therefore, there was only one direction to go: down the steps. Here I am near the back of the section . . .
. . . and here I am making my way down toward the front:
Sure enough, the ball barely cleared the wall, and as luck had it, it entered the seats RIGHT on the staircase — three feet to the left or right, and I wouldn't have had a chance. Take a look at the following screen shot. It was so crowded at the wall that you can't even see me . . .
. . . but I was there.
And I barely felt something hit my glove.
There were two other fans reaching for it with their gloves, including the guy who'd caught the Cano home run. All of our gloves bumped, and for a split-second I didn't know whether or not I'd caught the ball. Well, somehow I *did* catch it!!! Somehow the ball found its way into MY glove, and the more I watched the highlight, the more astounded I was that it actually happened. The cameras, unfortunately, or at least the clip on MLB.com, didn't show my celebration. They showed this instead . . .
. . . but then there were replays of the ball entering the crowd. The red arrow in the following screen shot is pointing at me:
See the three gloves reaching for the ball? The fan on the right (in the pinstriped jersey) is the kid who'd caught the Cano homer. He was wearing a black glove. The fan on the left (in the navy blue Yankees shirt) is reaching up with a reddish-brown glove. My glove is the light tan one at the top/back of the cluster. Here's another screen shot that shows the ball streaking toward us:
Can you BELIEVE how crowded it was? And how it all came down to a couple of inches? It looks like the fan on the right had a clear shot at catching it . . . right? My glove appears to be positioned slightly behind his . . . and it seems that the ball barely cleared his glove by a couple inches before smacking into the pocket of mine.
The following screen shot shows the ball poking out of my glove right after I caught it:
Yeah, there was a little bit of snow-cone action, and I'm thankful/amazed that I was able to hang onto it.
Here's one final screen shot that shows me holding up my glove:
Did you notice the backpack that's draped over my right shoulder? I'm telling you, I was just chillin' in the tunnel when this all unfolded, so that's why I was wearing it.
Wow and a half.
When things settled down a bit, I took a photo of the ball . . .
. . . and tweeted about it. Soon after, I got a photo with the fan who'd caught the Cano homer. Here we are:
His name is Alex, and he was cool about everything. He wasn't pissed at me for catching the ball, but really, he had no reason to be. He might've been pissed at himself for not jumping or reaching higher, just as I'd been pissed at myself for not judging the Cano homer quicker, but we'd both made clean plays. There was no shoving or fighting or anything. It's just nuts to think that he would've caught both home runs if not for me, and I would've caught both if not for him, but ultimately we each went home happy.
My friend Matt Latimer (who works for MLB.com) came and found me in the 10th inning. Here we are with the ball:
I wanted the game to last 20 innings. Or 120 innings. I was so happy that I wanted to sit there forever and soak it in — but no, the Jays scratched out a run in the top of the 11th, and that was the end of it. Final score: Blue Jays 8, Yankees 7.
After the final out, several fans congratulated me for the catch, and two guys asked if they could pose with the ball. (One kid asked if he could HAVE the ball.) I took a photo of them with their camera and then took this shot with mine:
That's when it occurred to me that I'd achieved my own mini-milestone with the catch; the Jeter home run was my 6,300th lifetime ball. More importantly, it was his 3,262nd career hit, which to me is much cooler than it being his 254th career home run.
I truly couldn't stop holding and photographing the ball. Here it is on the No. 2 train:
It's no secret that I'm not a Yankee fan, but Derek Jeter has always been one of my absolute/all-time favorite players. Whenever he's at bat, I *am* at Yankee fan. I can't root against him in any situation no matter what. Even when the Yankees were playing the Mets in the 2000 World Series, I still rooted for Jeter. I *love* him with every morsel of my baseball DNA — Is that a creepy thing to say? — so to finally catch a home run that he hit . . . there are no words.
Keep scrolling past the stats because I have some more photos (plus a humongous screen shot) that might be of interest . . .

Ready for a few more photos? Okay then. Of the eight balls that I kept, three have invisible ink on them. (Note that I didn't say "invisible ink stamps.") Here's a side-by-side comparison of the Jeter home run ball in regular light versus black light:
Here's a much better stamp on one of the BP balls . . .
. . . and here's a pair of fingerprints on another:
Pretty neat, huh?
Finally, I thought it'd be fun to share the activity that took place on Twitter (including one message from a hater) after I caught the home run, so here's a very long screen shot for your viewing pleasure:
Virtual fist-bump to David Bond for being the first to reply and thanks to (almost) all of you for the messages and follows and retweets. Knowing that so many people were thinking of me — and thinking happy thoughts — made the whole experience even better.

They showed your reaction on Canadian TV fyi. Well done
Hey zack nice grab.I came from Toronto to see the game and it was my first time at Yankee stadium. It is a beautiful stadium but the people there were pretty mean. I Came with
My family so I only came at 6 o'clock however I managed to get Omar vizquel to toss me a ball. My seAts were in the grandstand and I was in the right center seats so when the usher Came to check the tickets I Managed to avoid him and remAined in the section however there was a guy next me weAiring Yankees gear who tried to show the usher that I didn' t have. Ticket to the section. Luckily The usher wAs pretty stupid and told the guy that I showed him my ticket which was not true. I then turned Around and saw you standing at the top of the section. I saw you go for a ball the almost nailed a lady sitting down not paying attention. Boy was it scary not being Able to see the ball because of the sun. As batting practice ended I looked up to see if u were still there As I wanted to say high but you had immediately bolted out too bad. I then went to the sections behind home Plate to get a picture but it wAs to dArk so I wAnte to
Go down a few rows to get a picture with Bette lighting but the usher was a total jerk And would not let me go down and he told me that I need do be their an hour before the game to get a photo And this was only 35 minutes And there wAsnt even any action on the field
Stupid security in new yak in Toronto I can ask the security guard to sit behind homeplTe And the would kindly say yes
the clip, "nice catch by the fan. three gloves, one came up with it." If only they knew…
Amazing catch Zack, I am so happy for you. Saw it live on MLB Network!
Which one has more sentimental value? The Bonds or the Jeter?
Nice catch zack! I love reading your entries about bluejays games.
Nice catch Zack… Saw my competition last night where I collect minor league balls. Good news for me is they are moving. Its a guy and his 2 kids and now that they are leaving I'll have the place to myself next year. 1,500 to maybe even 2,000 is not out of the question!!
WAY TO STAY WITH IT.i quit the team i was on my weekend team here in SD,i was mad because i was on the bench having to get the foul balls and watch the game.i just walked off and quit playing bb.and got on a softball team.HOWbout them padres 8 in a row. bring on next year.its too late now.12 back of the dodgers.GOOD CATCH ON THE JETER JACK ZACK.padreleigh is next.you gotta stay if you want to play
dom must have magical powers if he saw you "steal" that ball…
It's pretty impressive to be able to say you have caught both a 700+ homerun and a 3000+ hit. Very nice. I still think you should have taken Chirpy McChirpson's (and my) twitter advice. That would be straight up hilarious to see at Yankee Stadium.
Saw you on MLBN highlights wow your always right in the middle of all the action!
I almost threw up in my mouth when you mentioned wanting to get naked and eat ice cream. Seriously dude, it's a kid friendly blog. Don't gross us out!
Oh so cool!
I believe there are supposed to be MLB "official" certifiers at every ball game; do you ever get home run balls certified?
On a side note, my boy's essential reading for the summer was your ball snagging book. He's also pretty good at the signing game as well, with at least a couple at each game this summer (record 12 signed balls) but he's been varying that with snagging them, after reading your book. (14 from 11 games)
Hawking OK at Oakland (thanks for your advice about no devices) but at SF the hawks work at another level, with their devices and otherwise! Pretty chill ushers, though.
I have gone to MLB games for more than 40 years and mostly sat high up. Recently, I got to sit about 20 rows behind home plate at a Baltimore Orioles game, and I finally snagged one.
I caught the ball on the second hop, reaching over several people [I'm tall], including a kid who was maybe nine, in the process. But I have to make it clear I didn't lean on anyone or push anyone to get it. The kid's father on the other side actually fell onto the empty seats in front of us reaching for the ball.
For some reason, some fans around me who didn't have a good view apparently thought I grabbed the ball from the kid's hands or something, and they yelled at me to give it to the kid. I looked at the black bruise made by the bat on the ball and wondered if I was going to become like the Packers fan who snatched a shoe thrown by Donald Driver from a kid's grasp. So I succumbed to the yells and gave it to the kid. It turned out to be the kid's birthday. But my 12-year-old son was mad at me when I later told him I gave it away. A friend next to me at the game had a good view of what occurred and said I didn't have to give it.
I think I did a nice thing, but still, every time I watch a game, I wonder. But I'm sure I will get another chance after reading your tips.
Hahahaha I like the metaphor. By the way, are you going to be at the Yankee game on Friday?
I was correct!! So I was watching the Jays game (my home team) on the 28th on tv. And the commentators mentioned Jeter's home run the game before and showed the clip. As soon as I saw the replay from the night before I asked, IS THAT ZACK?! This post confirms it! Congratulations!
i dont care if you give a kid a ball after the game. i give plenty of BP balls, tshirts, prizes to nearby kids at games i attend.
thats like christmas morning, you run downstairs, look at all the gifts, your eyes light up. You run to the biggest gift to see if its yours, pick it up to open it, only right before someone cuts in front of you, opens the gift and proclaims it a great present out of his 6300 presents hes had all his life. THEN hands it to you for you to play with.
ps: cute block on twitter
dom is still mad
and can't explain how that home run ball was "stolen"
the video proof shows him catching it quite clearly
when did he steal the ball dom?
oh wait he didn't
(you know because it landed in his glove)
Great comment, will read again.
Jeter is the bomb. I totally feel the same way.
…by the way, did you find your glove or was that the Mizuno?
NOTES: Romero leads the AL in earned runs allowed (109) and his ERA of 5.87 is highest among qualified AL pitchers. … Olivo is the sixth Mariners hitter with at least 10 home runs, the first time since 2007 Seattle has achieved that. … The Blue Jays are 11-23 in one-run games. … Toronto's Adeiny Hechavarria made his first career start at 2B, while Anthony Gose started in left field for the first time. … Seattle ace Felix Hernandez (13-7) faces Venezuelan countryman Henderson Alvarez (8-12) in Thursday's series finale.
Hey Zack, would you be interested in selling your Jeter HR ball? Would pay good money for it?

We're pleased to announce Australian racer Phill Youlten as our Team Kendall Racer of the Month for October. Youlten has been racing competitively for more than 15 years in the Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) and is seen as a fierce competitor across the country.
Throughout the years, Youlten has frequently made his way to the top 10 in the ANDRA's Super Sedan division, beating out thousands of skilled drivers. In 2010, Youlten achieved his proudest accomplishment to date—winning the divisional championship.
"People come from all over to watch the ANDRA meetings, and it's such a thrill to know there are so many fans out there watching," shared Youlten. "The adrenaline rush and the folks I've met are really what keep me going!"
In 2011, Youlten moved up a division into the more competitive Sportsman class. While admitting it was a challenge adjusting to the new class, he has still been able to reach the semifinals and finals in the majority of the races in which he's competed.
Although this is Youlten's first year with Team Kendall, he's been using Kendall Motor Oil for most of his racing career. In fact, he attributes much of his success to Kendall, which helps protect and maintain his vehicle.
"I'm proud to be a part of the Team Kendall family and hope to continue representing the brand out on the track," continued Youlten. "I'm a very loyal person, so I'm happy to promote the things I believe in."
"Phill is a great advocate of Kendall and we are pleased to support his efforts," said Marc Goulding of Petrogas Pty Ltd in Victoria, Australia. "We are thrilled to be part of his success and look forward to continue watching him excel."
Next season, Youlten will continue to compete in the ANDRA Sportsman class, traveling throughout the country. His goal for the 2014 season is to maintain his momentum while taking home another division championship.
We wish Youlten the best of luck and look forward to watching him on the track next year!

I think that some global understanding needs to be established or affirmed regarding asymmetrical warfare. Something useful may not be possible, but I thought it was at least worth discussion.
How does a recognized government face an enemy with no specified geographic boundary, no diplomatic capacity or public leader?
It is very easy to point to formal positions regarding 'unlawful combatants,' but I can't help but think that our current understandings are not really doing the trick.
From Wikipedia: "An unlawful combatant, illegal combatant or unprivileged combatant/belligerent is a combatant or non-combatant who directly engages in armed conflict in violation of the laws of war. An unlawful combatant may be detained or prosecuted under the domestic law of the detaining state for such action; subject of course to international treaties on justice and human rights."
I suppose it's rather grisly to recognize that there even is 'Law of War,' but this is the world we live in.
I'm lastly reminded of Voltaire who said "It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."

Michael, I think the fact that you know anyone at all in Kenya sets you apart and gives you a unique and better informed opinion than myself and many others on this site.
It might be said that the US' statecraft in Iraq has failed. There is certainly a religious component to the deadly belligerence in Iraq, and perhaps dialogue and reason can somehow diminish ongoing human suffering.
@ Michael.........Well said.....The birthers were just in denial.....They refused to accept a Black President so they developed a conspiracy and no matter what evidence was introduced they chose to ignore it.....It is plain bigotry and malice.....I wonder what they will say if we get a female President next....
ABH, I really do not have a close tie to Obama's in Kenya. In fact, I have not met any of them. My tie to Kenya is the Luo tribe of which they are from, and my estranged wife is also from. It's sort of like saying "we are all Cherokee."
As for Obama and his birth certificate, that mess was started because nobody wanted to see a black man in the white house. What do I mean? Let's suppose your parents are American citizens and you are born in Kenya. Does that make you a Kenyan citizen? Actually that makes you a dual citizen in eyes of the Kenyans, but you are an American citizen to the U.S. There was a time even in America when this lineage of citizenship if you were born overseas went through the father only. Times have changed and today it goes through either parent. OK, Obama's mother was an American citizen. CASE CLOSED. It does not matter where Obama was born.
John McCain was born in the Panama canel zone. Bruce Willis was born in Germany. We have no problem with either of these men and yet we have ignorant shit stirring attorneys wanting to bring up Obama again and again. Mostly the citizenship question would have been addressed way before a man has become president. I find it laughable that some people claim Obama and his friends have spent millions and millions of dollars to keep us from finding out the truth. I don't think Obama has that kind of money, and what is the point?
It's all about the Obama conspiracy, whatever that is!
Yes, the two scariest words for me are 'thermonuclear theocracy.' In this sense, time is not on our side.
In the sense that time is on our side, every day it becomes harder and harder for the religious moderates to not question their faith. It's the information age, and I'm hoping that the moderates will become comfortable enough with atheism (reality) to reduce the influence of the eschatological.
@Andrew.......One reason to dismantle and destroy our nuclear weapons is the fact that our newest enemy is exactly what you pointed out...WE no longer fight a recognized government in a major war, but instead have to face bands of terrorists in a guerrilla war atmosphere...So rules of engagement are totally different...In some ways, fighting terrorists is much more difficult and time consuming...and threaten civilian populations like we have never seen before....Such is life in the 21st century.....
Another thought regarding asymmetrical warfare - if the guerilla forces around the world could establish a better diplomatic front, we might have less bloodshed and human suffering.
I mentioned Iraq in the title to this blog, but really these thoughts apply to any number of other armed conflicts around the world (Afghanistan, the US, Ukraine, etc.).
Once more, what's a president to do when the enemy has no diplomatic front and attacks from behind their women and children?
Wow, that's really interesting that you have a close tie to Obama's in Kenya. It's helpful to try and understand different cultures. I've spent a lot of time researching different cultures because I think that when people understand each other, they are more inclined to get along peacefully.
We've all heard that Obama's birth certificate is fake and all sorts of other stuff. In the information age, we need to get better at distinguishing good information from misinformation and disinformation.
My background is in real estate appraisals, which need a reliable data source and a reliable verification source. Verifying information can be very tricky.
Thanks for pointing out that the tens of thousands of people stranded in the mountains cannot be forgotten. I don't know the answer, but I am hoping to advance the discussion on the ethics or attitudes concerning asymmetrical warfare - what is the best or right approach morally?
Perhaps the best approach would include a more robust effort to establish diplomatic ties, and by that I mean dialogue.
@Michael Penn, I feel so bad for Obama having to hear and read those false accusations about his religion and relatives......Ever since he was elected as our President he has been viciously attacked by the extreme Right....The only way Rational Thinking Americans can help is to throw out those that were elected in the 2010 election when the Tea Party won by a landslide...As far as all the others, we need to make sure those printed lies about him get retracted...Obama may be the first Black President but he will not be the last, so everyone needs to get their act together.......
I didn't say I was criticizing Obama. I don't agree with everything he does, but how could he do better? Nobody wants to work with him. Then they have the gall to think we should elect those "do nothings" in his place.
I agree that whoever is commanding ISIS knows what they are doing. Most likely they are some of our old enemies and others picked up along the way. Politics is making strange bedfellows here.
Here's a link on Obama with some truth, lies, and fictions. Obama's father was of the Luo tribe and so is my wife. All of the Kenyan Luo's love Obama and they also love Raila Odinga who is Luo. There is no truth or proof that Odinga was "trying to take down the government." He wanted to be president and did end up prime minister. All of the Luo's would have voted for him. They really love this guy. It's important to understand that Kenyans do not view their politics and world situations through American political filters. They do have tribal loyalty.
Some say Obama and Odinga are cousins, but this is a figure of speech. When I was in Africa in 2004 my brother in law took us to a Pentecostal church in Nairobi. Later he told me "Maybe you can say I favor this pastor because he is my father." We both smiled but the pastor is not his father. He is his uncle, the brother of his father.
Do I believe that Senator Obama went to Kenya and spoke for Odinga at rallies and even channeled 1 million dollars of raised funds into the Odinga campaign? Yes I do, but this is a tribal loyalty. All Luo's want to see Odinga as Kenyan president.
Anyway, I got a bit off topic. Check the link out if you like.

New tools are changing rulemaking processes
Federal agencies anticipate a growing reliance on interactive social media technologies in 2011 to get ideas from the public and from inside their agencies on achieving their core missions more effectively, according to government social media leaders who spoke at a breakfast forum today.
Agencies began using Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other Web 2.0 applications primarily to push their messages out to the public rather than for interaction. Now the social media tools are being applied to get public feedback on agency missions, address niche audiences and improve dialog among employees said speakers at the AFCEA-Bethesda chapter forum.
"Now, we are not just increasing our reach, but also striving for a new level of engagement," said Sanjay Koyani, director of Web communications for the Food and Drug Administration.
Nearly all federal agencies use social media, GAO says
A few bon mots on Drupal, Facebook from DOE's new media director
As part of that effort, the FDA identified a need in a niche audience — the "mom and pop" stores that sell tobacco showed a preference for direct mail communications about the new guidelines, Koyani added.
At the Agriculture Department, a new program involves stakeholders online very early in the regulatory process, before a draft rule is published, for an upcoming public lands regulation for the Forest Service, said Amanda Eamich, director of Web communications for the department.
To support that involvement, the USDA has been running a "planning blog" online and asking the public for input on key issues, she said. More than 300 public comments have been received.
As a result of the early public feedback on the project, when the draft rule comes out, "we hope it will be closer to the needs and desires of the public," Eamich said.
The Defense Department has been using many Web 2.0 tools to communicate with the public and is now starting to focus on internal use of the tools to improve communications and interaction within the department, said Jack Holt, senior strategist for emerging media at DOD.
"We are using social media for internal communications transparency," Holt said. "Internal communications is a priority for 2011."
"In addition to improving our transparency and usability on the front end, we are improving our backbone infrastructure to bring it into the Twenty-first century," Croft said.

In English, such a point is usually called a point of inflection (or you can spell it inflexion if you prefer).
The term saddle point is used for a point where a function of more than one variable has a stationary point that is not a local extremum. For a function of two variables, this usually means that some of the cross-sections through that point will have a local minimum there, and others will have a local maximum.

Secrets for Successful Bars and Brownies
Simple ways to make sure your decadent bars and brownies turn out perfectly every time!
Tips for Preparation and Baking
- Use butter, stick margarine (with at least 80% oil) or shortening. Whipped, tub, soft, liquid or reduced-fat products contain air and water and will produce flat, tough bars or brownies.
- Avoid overmixing the batter. If it's handled too much, the gluten in the flour will be developed and the bars or brownies will be tough.
- Use dull aluminum baking pans or glass dishes. Dark-colored pans may cause overbrowning.
- Grease the pan with shortening or coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- To easily remove bars and brownies from a pan, line the bottom of the pan with foil, then grease. Add the batter and bake as directed.
- It's important to evenly spread batter in the pan. If one corner is thinner than another, it will bake faster and be overbaked when the rest of the pan is done.
- Center the pan in the middle of the oven.
- Use a kitchen timer. Check bars when the minimum baking time has been reached, baking longer if needed. Follow doneness tests given in individual recipes.
Tips for Cutting Bars and Brownies
- A large pizza cutter will make quick work of cutting a pan of bars. A bench knife can also be used to cut bar cookies. Press the bench knife down into the cookies to cut; don't drag it through. You'll be rewarded with straight, clean edges on your bars.
- For picture-perfect brownies and bars, bake bars in a foil-lined pan and use the foil to lift them out after they're cooled. Trim the edges of the bars or brownies, then cut into bars, squares or diamonds. The scraps can be crumbled and used as a topping for ice cream or pudding.
- An 8-in. square pan will yield 16 (2-in.) squares or 64 (1-in.) squares. A 9-in. square pan will yield 54 (1-1/2-in. x 1-in.) bars or 81 (1-in.) squares. A 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. pan will yield 78 (1-1/2-in. x 1-in.) bars.
- Cover a pan of uncut brownies and bars with foil—or put the pan in a large resealable plastic bag. (If made with perishable ingredients, like cream cheese, they should be covered and refrigerated.) Once the bars are cut, store them in an airtight container.
- Most bars and brownies freeze well for up to 3 months. To freeze a pan of uncut bars, place in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Or wrap individual bars in plastic wrap and stack in an airtight container. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Generally, bars and brownies should cool completely on a wire rack before being cut. However, crisp bars should be cut while still slightly warm.
- Cutting granola bars can be a sticky business. To make it easier, spritz the knife with nonstick cooking spray before starting to cut, repeating as needed.
- When making a small batch of chocolate chip cookies, line a 13-inch x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and then spread the entire batch of dough in the pan. After it's baked and has cooled for 5 minutes, cut the giant cookie into squares with a pizza cutter. This method cuts prep time and cleanup time!

Club Football: for those who want to take it up
A football club is a privately owned sports team which primarily indulges in the game of football (or Soccer) and participates in various footballing competitions organised in the country. Professional Clubs are the owners of their own stadium(called a club's home stadium), and are responsible for paying the fees of its players and staff. They are also expected to negotiate their own sponsorship deals and set their ticket prices.
CUP COMPETITIONS: In English Football there exist many competitions. There are a few Cup competitions like the FA Cup(which is the oldest Football competition in the world) and the Carling Cup(also known as the Football league Cup). Both these cup competitions use the knockout round format to come down to a list of four semi finalists which in turn gives two finalists, with the finals for both the competitions contested for at the Wembley Stadium in London. Apart from these Cup Competitions there exists a league tournament as well, which takes place in various tires.
LEAGUE SYSTEM: The top 20 clubs of England participate in the Barclays Premier League. The Second tier teams take part in the nPower Championship, followed by the next set of teams in League One, then the League Two, then the Conference National(each of the aforementioned leagues consists of 24 teams each) follwed by two parallel leagues called the Conference North and the Conference South. These are followed by a few more parallel leagues like the Northern Premier League, the Southern Premier League and the Isthmian League.
MATCHES: Each team plays two matches with the remainder of the teams in the league. The schedule of all these matches is determined by the FA(the premier Footballing Body of England). One match with a particular opposition is played at the home ground of the club, and the second match is played at the home ground of the opposing club. 3 points are awarded for a win, and 1 to each of the teams for a draw, and 0 for a loss.
THE LEAGUE TABLE: After the completion of each set of matches, a table is computed which determines in descending order, the teams which have fared better. The teams with the most no. of points are at the top end of the table while those with lesser no. of points are at the bottom end. In case two teams have equal number of points, then a parameter called Goal Difference is used. Goal Difference (or GD) of a team is calculated by taking the total number of goals scored by a team and then subtracting the number of goals conceded by them. It is possible that this parameter is negative for a team. In case of equal goal difference, the team which has scored the more number of goals is placed higher in the table.
THE CHAMPIONS: The champions of a league are decided after the completion of all set of matches. The team on top of the league table at this point of time, are crowned the champions of the League.
RELEGATION/PROMOTION: A fixed set of teams from each of the leagues gets demoted to the league below it, and a fixed set of clubs from each of the leagues apart from the Premier League get promoted to the league above it at the end of the football season. They resume their new positions at the start of the next football season. All other clubs remain in their respective leagues. The bottom three clubs of the Premier League are demoted to the Championship, while the top two finishers in the Championship are promoted automatically to the Premier League, while the third vacant spot is contested for in a playoff tournament by the teams which finish 3rd-6th in the Championship. The winners of this tournament are promoted to the Premier League.
EUROPEAN FOOTBALL: There exist two European Footballing tournaments, the UEFA Champions league, and the UEFA Europa League. These tournaments run parallel to the English League and is contested between clubs of all member nations of Europe's Premier football body, UEFA. These competitions carry an immense pride value in addition to the much greater match recepits, money generated from the television rights, and prize money associated with them in comparison to the National Leagues. Qualification to the UEFA Champions League for English Clubs is possible by finishing 1st-4th in the Premier League. The team finishing 4th would have to play an extra play off round to enter the group stages of the Champions League. It consists of 32 teams at the start of the group stages, and progresses in a fashion similar to the World Cup. The only exception is that two round of matches are played in the group stage and the knockout stages as well, one at the home ground of a club and the other at the opposing club's home stadium. For Qualification to the Europa Leauge, teams have to finish either 5th or 6th in the Premier League. In addition to this two more spots are granted to the winners of the FA Cup and the winners of the Carling Cup. If the team winning the FA Cup has already qualified for one of the two tournaments, then the place is granted to the runners up of the tournament.
TRANSFERS: Club may compete in the transfer market for players of other clubs which is open during two periods of the footballing season. The summer transfer market is open before the start of the new season in July and runs into August. The winter transfer market opens mid season, in January. Clubs contact other players and agents for the players that they are interested in and pay a certain transfer fee to the club where he is still in contract. The fee is agreed upon between the two clubs, which may or may not be disclosed to the public. The player is then offered a new contract by his new club. This contract contains a pre agreed set of terms.
The top four clubs of England are as follows
- ARSENAL FC: Arsenal Football Club or the Gunners, based in the Emirates Stadium in London are the most successful club out of the national Capital. They are known in contemporary football as the icons of stylish football, with their neat passing and easy on the eye breezy football as its ornaments. Under the guidance of its manager, Arsene Wenger, who is currently the premier league's second most experienced manager at his club have developed a side full of youth and energy. The Club, currently under a rebuilding phase have maintained respectable league positions over the last few years, with clubs in similar positions finding them in relegation battles, and some even a few leagues below them. The most successful moment of the club came when they finished 49 games unbeaten in a row, including a whole season unbeaten.
- CHELSEA FC: Chelsea, based in the West-London region of the same name are the most recent entrants to the league of big-boys in English Football. This was made possible by its take over by Russian Billionaire, Roman Abrahmovich, who showed to the footballing world that money can buy success. They have hence won 4 league titles, and have done well in Europe as well. Such policies adopted by the club, have led to the press jokingly naming it as the BANK OF ENGLAND. Chelsea FC are currently the Champions of England. They are known for an aggressive approach on the pitch, which may not necessarily be pleasant to the neutrals, but it does get the results for them.
- LIVERPOOL FC: Liverpool Football Club, based in the historic Anfield Stadium in Liverpool are perhaps the most successful club in England. But success has eluded them in recent years, with their last league title coming in the 1988 season. They are the only club out of the 4 mentioned who have not won the Premier League thus far. And they are right now in danger of loosing out their status as the member of the big four in England, after a seventh place finish in the table and ensuring that they will not be taking part in the Champions League, resulting into financial problems for the already cash stripped club. They are also perhaps the most boring team out of the big 4.
- MANCHESTER UNITED FC: MUFC, or the Red Devils are based at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. Having won 18 league titles, they are by far the most successful team in the history of the Premier League. Sir Alex Ferguson is currently their manager, who has held that post since 1986(which makes him currently the most experienced manager at a club) are known for their attacking football. They are currently battling debt due to the loans taken in order to complete the purchase of the club by their new American owners.

Dermatological Treatments
The most common symptom of BCCNS is the skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma (BCC). 95 percent of individuals with BCCNS will develop multiple BCCs over the course of their lives. This can range from just a handful every year, to new lesions appearing every month or week. The following advice on skin cancer treatments and their pros and cons is provided by The Skin Cancer Foundation.
With these tips in mind, here are the most common treatments for skin cancer.
The act of surgically removing the cancer lesion, this procedure may be performed by a dermatologist, otolaryngologist (ear-nose-throat specialist), plastic surgeon, or other specialist. If the lesion to be removed is large enough, a skin graft from another area of the body may be required. While this is the simplest way to deal with the skin cancer lesions, it has a higher rate of recurrence than some other treatments.
Mohs surgery
Also called "chemosurgery," Mohs micrographic surgery is a more advanced form of excision. When the skin cancer lesion is removed, the surgeon marks its position. The edge of the lesion is examined for any cancerous cells, and any that are found are marked on a diagram of the lesion. The surgeon then goes back to remove more tissue from the area that was marked. This ensures a clean margin of healthy cells all the way around the lesion, so the procedure is more than 95% effective in making sure that the lesion is completely removed. Mohs surgery can be expensive, however, and it takes a longer time than simple excision. More information about Mohs surgery is available in this article from the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Electrodessication and curettage.
Called ED&C for short, this procedure involves using a light electric current to dry out and kill cancerous cells, which are scraped away using a round knife called a curette. This process is repeated until the entire lesion has been removed, along with a margin of healthy skin to ensure complete removal. ED&C involves little bleeding and requires no stitches, but it takes longer to heal and may not be suited for all skin cancers.
Almost the opposite of ED&C, crysurgery freezes the skin cancer lesion with liquid nitrogen instead of burning it. The growth scabs over and generally falls off within a couple of weeks. Cryotherapy has a lower cure rate (85-90%) than other procedures, but it is the procedure of choice for people with bleeding disorders or trouble with anesthesia.
Topical chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy uses various drugs to interrupt cellular processes that happen more quickly in cancer cells. This is done in order to kill off the cancer cells while leaving most of the healthy body cells intact. Topical chemotherapy involves applying the drug directly to the cancerous lesions as a cream. The cancerous cells absorb the drug and die off, forming scabs that can be removed. Patients complain of skin irritation, and the treatment may miss portions of some tumors that lie deeper under the skin, but topical chemotherapy tends to heal with the least scarring.
Photodynamic therapy.
Often abbreviated as PDT, this procedure uses a drug that only becomes active under a certain wavelength of light. Cancerous cells absorb the drug more readily than healthy cells, so the cancerous cells are killed off while the healthy cells remain. The procedure can be made more accurate by using lasers to direct the light only at the cancerous cells. Patients sometimes complain of feeling "cigarette burns" or other irritation, and they must stay out of the sun for the next day or two, but PDT can be very useful for treating many BCCs at one time.

Forex Trading Courses
Chris Capre offers three online forex trading courses through 2ndSkiesForex. These include:
1) The Advanced Price Action Course
2) The Advanced Ichimoku Course
3) The Pro Forex Course
The goal of these courses is simple – to help traders to trade profitably and successfully giving forex trading strategies, proper money management methods while building a successful traders' mindset. Each course includes lifetime membership, access to the traders forum, full email support, free updates and a private follow up session with Chris.
Learning Advanced Price Action
Everyone is curious about price action trading. This is the base of all price movements in the market and the result of all order flow. In learning how to trade price action, one is learning to trade the most simple and pure form of all price fluctuations in the market and how to read institutional order flow – the basis of every move in the market.
By enrolling in the Advanced Price Action Course, you will learn rule based strategies based on quantitative data over the last 10 years never published before. This course is completely different from any other course you can find online. If you want to learn how to read price action, for any environment on any time frame, then visit our Price Action Course page to learn more.
Exploring The Ichimoku Cloud
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, is getting more and popular these days, and rightfully so. Most forex traders get additional knowledge and understanding about its interpretation through various online resources, but many do not understand Ichimoku from its original texts.
There are only a few books available in English in the western hemisphere about it but none even come close to explaining what Ichimoku trading is about.
One of the foremost experts on ichimoku cloud trading, Chris Capre has been studying and trading the Ichimoku Cloud since 2004, and has translated its main texts to increase his understanding of Ichimoku.
For those wanting to learn how to trade the Ichimoku Cloud with a unique understanding, make sure to visit the Ichimoku Course, page to learn more.
The ProForex Course
For those wanting a balance of high profitability momentum, trend, price action and swing trading systems, the proforex course, is the best way to go. The base models in this course are designed to capture intraday trending/momentum moves using proprietary strategies to trade from the 3m, 30m, 1hr, 2hr and 4hr time frames. If you are comfortable working with indicators and prefer more intraday/momentum type trading, then this would be the most suitable course for you.

Gwen Stefani has always been the girl from Orange County CA that I always loved ever since I had listen to music. She's got a kick butt attitude and some powerful vocals. Always will be one of my favorite bands of all time. 😀 But can't say she's the only rad one of the group because Tony, Adrian, and Tom are fun and have a amazing amount of talent also.Plus Adrian always makes me laugh (cough) Bathwater music video(cough) haha.

I love her style, her voice and that she is a vegan. It's also great that she spoke out in 2007 that she does not wear fur! She is a role model for young girls… not your typical blonde barbie type.

1 1/2 cups wild rice (about 9 ounces)
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
3 cups peeled cubed butternut squash (from 11/2-pound squash)
5-6 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped leeks (white part only)
1 1/2 cups frozen white corn kernels, thawed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil rimmed baking sheet. Toss squash cubes, garlic and 2 tablespoons oil in a 9 by 13 baking pan. Roast until squash begins to brown around the edges, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes.
While squash is baking, rinse rice in strainer under cold water; drain. Bring 6 cups water and 2 teaspoons coarse salt to boil in large saucepan. Add rice; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered until rice grains begin to split and are tender but still slightly chewy, about 45 minutes. Drain.
Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks and 3/4 cup water; simmer until leeks are tender, about 7 minutes. Fish out garlic cloves from squash and smash them into the leek liquid with the back of your spoon against the side of the pan. Stir. Add corn; simmer 2 minutes longer. Add rice and butternut squash; simmer until heated through and liquid is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Stir in parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.
(The rice and squash may be cooked ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. It makes sense to roast a double batch of squash and then use the extra to make butternut squash soup.)
Adapted from a recipe by Nancy Oakes and Pamela Mazzola, from Bon Appetit, Nov 2008.

5 colour rules that should be broken
Bright sunset-coloured bedroom
While they're there to help you avoid decorating disaster, certain colour 'rules' actually make no sense. We're here to show you why, starting with this bold bedroom in a spectrum of sunset shades.
The myth: Bright colours such as these might jar with one another, and create an uncomfortable space.
The reality: These tones are found together in nature, meaning they do complement each other beautifully. The trick is to use big blocks of plain colour, rather than a mixture of patterns.

Been awhile since I have posted, been piecing my 79 BRAT together, is in pretty good shape but needed some minor stuff.
Last summer when I bought it someone actually had a pair of old jump seats sitting around and gave them to me.
I know a lot of people make their own mounting frames for the jump seats, but I rarely find spare time and actually live in a different state that I garage it, so even rarer for me to get to it.
Was wondering if they are to come by? And will different gen's swap?

Take advantage of the stress-relieving resources that the university offers, especially when preparing for finals.
(CC image courtesy of dcolson5201, Flickr)
As Winter Quarter final exams quickly approach, the University of Chicago's Student Counseling Service has a few tips to help Boothies keep stress to a minimum.
"Sit down and focus on time management," said Psy.D. Mike Pietrus, a staff psychologist at the university's Student Counseling Service. "It's important to make time for self-care, exercise, social activities and sleep."
Pietrus said the on-campus counseling center sees increases in requests for counseling services as students prepare for final exams at the end of each quarter. He advises students manage finals-related stress by maintaining realistic expectations.
"It's important to keep realistic expectations about what people are able to accomplish," he said. "People overestimate what they're able to do and end up getting overwhelmed."
He pointed to a mix of on-campus resources outlined in the info box below for students seeking help in managing stress, starting with the Web site counseling.uchicago.edu, which outlines the counseling center's offerings, and wellness.uchicago.edu, which promotes student health and wellness.
University Resources to Help with the Management of Stress:
"Let's Talk" – These free and confidential consultations enable students to speak one-on-one with a counselor without booking an appointment or going through any preliminary needs-assessment steps. Appointments are first-come, first-served, and according to the counseling service's Web site, "usually there is not much of a wait." Information on where and when these free consultations are held can be found at: counseling.uchicago.edu as the "Let's Talk" sessions take place several times a week, across multiple locations on campus.
"Mindfulness Meditation Workshop" – Held Mondays from 1 to 2 p.m. at Rockefeller Chapel, these free meditation workshops are intended to serve as a tool for managing stress. Each workshop section meets for three consecutive weeks and includes instruction and practice of Mindfulness Meditation techniques. For more information or to register, visit wellness.uchicago.edu.
"Drop-in Mindfulness Meditation Practice" – Students who want to practice formal mindfulness meditation with a group each week can attend these free sessions from 2:30 to 3 p.m. Wednesdays during quarters at Rockefeller Chapel. No registration needed.
"Needs Assessment" – Students looking for on-going counseling can book an intake appointment with the Student Counseling Service to discuss personal concerns and expectations with a counselor, who will determine what services can best assist each student. The services include: psychotherapy, psychiatric consultation, academic skills assessment program, support groups, assessment and treatment for alcohol and other drug abuse, referrals, emergency intervention and health promotion and wellness programs. To make a Needs Assessment appointment, please call (773) 702-9800.
