Hearts and Mines
Russell Snyder's new book is called "Hearts and Mines: With the Marines in Al-Anbar: A Story of Psychological Warfare in Iraq." It's a beautiful book and one that may move you to outraged action, but not in the way you might expect.
I got the book from its author at a Veterans For Peace convention. I assumed it was an anti-war book. I was startled first by the literary skill of the author, who paints a powerful picture of his time in Iraq. I was startled second, slowly, gradually, as I waited for the author to turn against the war. I've read many other accounts by soldiers who came to regret their actions. They suffer from the actions they have taken. They deeply regret having killed innocent people. They find it almost too much to bear. They lay down their guns. They resist. They go AWOL. They file for conscientious objector status. Or they receive their discharge and then denounce the institution of war, committing never to be a part of it again.
That never quite happens with Snyder.
Here's an intelligent, sensitive young man capable of describing a wide array of conflicting emotions that soldiers experience in wartime. He enjoys the camaraderie of the military. He respects the professionalism. He honors the self-sacrifice. And he resents the stupidity, fears for his life, and questions the wisdom of the entire enterprise. Just questions. He doesn't reject. This is not a book aimed at moving you to demand an end to military spending. This is a book aimed -- intentionally or not -- at moving you to seek out and struggle against the cultural habits that allow people to accept war so completely that they can recognize it as an unnecessary piece of barbarism and nonetheless take part in it with pride.
"It's a worrisome flaw humanity has yet to overcome that in our modern age we still accept the butchery of our human brothers and sisters as a means of settling our politicians' and religious leaders' disagreements," writes Snyder in the introduction. He writes that his viewpoint evolved there. But the narrative of the book doesn't display evolution so much as complexity and contradiction.
Snyder's job was to blast loud messages in Arabic at Iraqi villages, in order to win their hearts and minds. He notes that in shooting practice "two in the heart, one in the mind" meant two bullets to the chest and one to the head -- mocking the futility of "psy-ops." When, in Chapter 2, Snyder puts bullets into live humans, he describes the success of the conditioning that allowed him to do so without thought. That thoughtlessness largely remains, at least on the surface, for the rest of the book.
Snyder describes the difficulties of "winning" an occupation of a country, the inability to trust anyone, the cycles of revenge, the brutality, the lack of understanding, the torture, the sadism, and the tricking of Iraqi children into cursing their country in English or drinking urine. Snyder describes a remarkable number of incidents in which he could easily have died, as well as learning that someone was offering $5,000 to whoever destroyed his loudspeaker truck or killed his Iraqi translator. This is a book with more "action" in it than most such accounts I've read -- even as it still manages to convey the deadly boredom these incidents interspersed, and the adrenaline high that drove soldiers and Marines to seek out more activity, even at the risk of death. Snyder describes the fear of death, the resort to religion, and ultimately his attempt to believe that God saved him (while, of course, not saving thousands of others).
Snyder disapproves of the worst attitudes and actions he recounts. "It felt hypocritical," he writes, "that we should attempt to convince [Iraqis] security was improving and they shouldn't be worried while we Americans swaddled ourselves head to toe in armor and protective gear. Our hosts must have sometimes regarded our argument as condescending. Since we didn't allow them to have armor or weapons, it seemed to imply their lives were not deserving of the same level of protection as our own." At various other times, Snyder writes that his actions had the merit of possibly saving Marines' lives. Not lives, Marines' lives.
Snyder describes himself as torn. "My soul ached, torn between feeling a sense of contractual obligation, a desire to fulfill my duties as a soldier and to commiserate with my brothers in uniform while mourning the seemingly pointless extinction of so much innocent life. Not only the little girls whose stiffening corpses were now rotting like refuse in the backyard, or the baby chicks that had survived two tank rounds only to succumb to the sadistic whims of bored Marines, but the countless thousands of other human lives destroyed by war and remembered only as collateral damage. . . . Prolonging the war seemed akin to setting fire to a neighbor's house and then attempting to extinguish the flames with more fire. I felt at once very weary, exhausted by the heavy knowledge of so much violence and needless death. But I remained quiet as I crawled into the turret, resigned to accept my own sinful role." In fact, the possibility of acting otherwise is never mentioned in the book -- except for others. Snyder writes that he "lamented the state of what I imagined to be my countrymen's lack of awareness that permitted their collective conscience to embrace a war . . . ." In reality, there is no collective in such matters. We each have to act alone. We each bear a different share of guilt. But most of us at least were not taking part in what we were lamenting. Snyder ends the book feeling more guilt over his decision not to reenlist than anything else.
It's possible that some of what Snyder has experienced and taken part in lies buried within him, threatening to erupt years or decades from now. "I might never live," he writes, "long enough to atone for everything that troubled me, but maybe I didn't have to if I made a sincere effort to live a life that benefitted others." In my view, what's needed is not further suffering by Russell Snyder. More suffering benefits no one. If he is able to move on to a productive nonviolent life, I only hope that it includes more writing. What's needed, I think, is for the rest of us to appreciate how a book like this one already benefits others.
Start with Snyder's condemnation of the effort underway during his time in Iraq to recruit Iraqis to take over the killing of Iraqis. A similar effort is failing miserably in Afghanistan right now, without any alternative entering the minds of our public policy decision makers.
Look at Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's bewilderment at the Libyans' lack of appreciation for all that our bombs have done to their country. Here's a book that could ease our national case of bewilderment as to why the recipients of our "aid" tend to show so little gratitude.
The importance of this book is that it takes someone who largely believes (or used to believe) in U.S. propaganda and puts him into face-to-face exchanges with its victims. These exchanges are riveting:
After Snyder's team blasts an area with an instruction to leave, they find an old man in a house with two young boys. The old man asks where in the world he was supposed to go, the desert?
"A tear formed in a wrinkled corner of the man's eye and sparkled down his cheek.
"'I have my son's family here too. You shot him driving his tractor home. He was a good man, an innocent man.'
"He pointed up the street to the burnt-out remnant of a vehicle. The Marines had destroyed several vehicles with tank rounds during the push into the city, which they identified as potential suicide car bombs. It was pointless to wonder whose version of events was true. The son was dead, or at the very least his father was a good actor.
"'I'm sorry to hear of your loss, but sometimes there are accidents in war. You fought against Iran, did you not? You know things like this happen. There are bad people here, people who want to kill us. We have to protect ourselves. It is our job to make Iraq safer, and sometimes that means making hard decisions. Maybe sometimes the wrong people do get caught in the middle. We try to be careful, believe me. The terrorists will stop at nothing, even killing children, but we Americans do our best to avoid unnecessary violence. We follow the Geneva Conventions. We want to help you. That doesn't bring your son back, I know, but we are only trying to do our job.'
"The man rebutted my statement, morosely shaking his head in disbelief that I could be so wrong.
"'Iraq was safe before you came. My town was quiet before you bombed it. Now I cannot even go outside. We don't have water.' He sighed. 'If you can just let me go to the water valve down the street, I can maybe turn the water back on.'
"'I can't make that decision. Our commander wants everyone to stay home. It's better if you stay inside, safer. We can bring you water later.'
"I turned to Sonny. 'Ask him if he has ever seen strangers here.'
"I looked back in the old man's eyes. 'Has he seen foreign fighters here.'
"Sonny paused. 'He says, "Just you."'
"I squeezed my eyes shut at the old man's audacity and pinched the bridge of my nose. It was a true statement, from his perspective, that I was a foreign fighter, but not the answer I looked for.
"'There are dead Africans in the street up there. He never saw anyone like that?'
"The man shook his head.
"'He didn't know there was a torture dungeon just down the road, where they kept captured border guards? He never heard a scream? They didn't think it was safe here.'
"I carefully watched the man's reaction to the news there had been such crimes committed so close to his home. He showed no surprise.
"'If you say so,' the old man replied. 'I don't know anything.'"

A recent article in Self magazine touts the fact that women who ate an ounce of full-fat cheese each day gained fewer pounds over time when compared to women who didn't eat cheese. That research came from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Whole dairy products contain higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and researchers believe that those healthy fats may stoke people's metabolism. Self magazine reporter Maridel Reyes suggests, "To get more waist-whittling power from your wedge, savor a single-ounce portion (about the size of your thumb) of one of these top picks daily."
The cheese options suggested in the article include: goat cheese, Parmesan, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Ricotta, Provolone, and Mozzarella.

Four injured in Jefferson City shooting
Police: Gunman opens fire in the 700 block of Madison Street
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Police in the Capital City say a suspect is on the run after a Saturday night shooting that injured four people.
Around 11:46 p.m., officers responded to a report of gunshots in the 700 block of Madison Street.
Police say a gunman fired multiple rounds and hit four people. Three were treated for their injuries at a local hospital and released. The fourth victim was transferred to a hospital in Columbia, but his injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.
No suspect description was released.
ABC 17 News talked to witnesses who said it happened outside of Lush night club.
"It looked like he [a victim] was starting to go down a little bit and they helped him over to the sidewalk and laid him down on the sidewalk," one witness told ABC 17 News. "The paramedics were working on him over there and it looked like they had taped his leg up."
Another witness said the scene on Madison Street was blocked off until almost 4 in the morning while police were looking for evidence.
Local business owners told ABC 17 News they are losing business because people are too afraid to come to the area, which was starting to see a renaissance.
Neighbors said they worry the area is taking a downward turn again.

She can comfortably afford to spend whatever amount of money she spends, so why shouldn't she. It is her money and she do what she likes with it, why would she have to worry about hair loss, many do but the fact is it's not her problem so why should she worry? Her life is none of your concern, and you do not even know her or her family so calling her a dysfunctional mother is out of order. It is actually rather pathetic, therefore grow up and just accept that it's her life, she can do what she likes.

What do you guys think about the idea of putting dhamma material in analog and/or digital media, put this in airtight, weatherproof, waterproof, maybe even fireproof, containers and hide these at various places (dig down deep in the earth, hide in caves etc) with the intention that maybe sometime in the future, when most dhamma might have been lost due to nuclear war or whatever, it could be found and benefit people?
This could be done at many different levels of effort and budgets. We wouldn't know which would "survive" anyway, and which would be able to be understood by any eventual finders in the future, be it due to language or the chosen medium. So, the more people just ...putting some dhamma on a cheap usb stick or printing a couple of pages on their printer with the basics of buddhism, putting it in some box and try to waterproof it and dig it down or something... the higher the chance of some of these "dhamma treasures" for the future surviving to maybe one day be found by someone who really needed to find it. That would be a happy thought.
What would cost most would be the "time capsules" I guess. Beyond that, usb sticks are cheap for example. If digging down analogue media, for example books, one could take them apart and laminate every single page to further provide protection against time and the elements (well I hope that laminating paper really does provide better longtime protection and that the laminate itself will not speed up the decomposition of paper!).

6. Purchase Buildings That Net You the Most Coins and EXP Per Hour
• You'll have to be a bit selective when it comes to which buildings you'll want to add to your town. The buildings you'll want to purchase the most of are the ones that grant you bigger coin and experience payouts per hour.
• The more coins and experience you see tied to a building's hourly payout, the more expensive that building will cost.
7. Construct Cheaper Items and Buildings for Quick Bursts of EXP
• You'll need to make good use of all the real estate and unlocked districts you accrue over time.
• If you're interested in gaining a faster output of experience through your buildings, then go ahead and construct smaller and much cheaper items and buildings (build a few trimmed hedges if you'd like to obtain a good amount of EXP in a as little time as possible).
• If you get really crazy and feel like your version of Quahog doesn't have any need for roads, remove them altogether and place some buildings in the spots those roads used to inhabit. Your buildings really don't need public road in order to operate, so it might be a fine idea to place buildings over every piece of land you have access to.
8. Level Up Your Characters Quicker by Having Them Complete Tasks With Other Characters
WriterParty.com also posted up some advice regarding the best way to level up your characters as a faster pace:
The fastest way to level up characters is to have them complete joint tasks with other characters, such as Peter and Quagmire taking a nap together. They will both get all of the experience points that are allocated to that task, speeding up the leveling process.
9. Stick Any Finished Buildings Into Storage Once Quahog Becomes Overcrowded
• You may find yourself in this particular circumstance: your version of Quahog will get a little bit to crowded with buildings and you'll notice you won't have any real estate left for even more buildings.
• You can store any of of the finished buildings you have laid up in your city by tapping and holding onto any of them and selecting to place it in storage. You can also store decorations, so there's a lot of leeway given to players who build a bit too many things.
• If you're looking to return your buildings and decorations from storage back into your city, just hit up the "Inventory" menu through the main menu screen. Just select which building or decoration you'd like to see return and VOILA! You can place in back into your city.
10. Make Sure You Aid Your Friends' City Progress
• If you have a bunch of buddies who play this game just as much as you do, make sure you link up with them through Facebook ASAP.
• By connecting with your friends and visiting their own personal Quahog, you can help them out by tapping on their buildings and speeding up the process in their game world.
• The more buildings you help complete through your furious tapping, the more coins and clams you'll claim.

Cave Creek: Where Western Twang Meets Luxury
Rancho Mañana Resort • Cave Creek, AZ
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Up to Four Guests in a Two-Bedroom Villa, June 1 to September 30 ($189)
- Or, A Three-Night Stay for Up to Four Guests in a Two-Bedroom Villa, April 16 to May 31 ($349)
- Bottle of Wine
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Six Nights
The Destination
The silhouettes of spiny cacti as the sun sets over the desert, the twang of country music piercing the slatted doors of a saloon—there's something cinematic about Southern Arizona. Tucked away in the Sonoran foothills, the town of Cave Creek exudes the eclectic spirit of the Southwest. "Cowboys in dusty chaps hitch their horses in front of saloons along the main drag and duck inside for a beer or bourbon," says The New York Times. "Nearby, tanned and stylishly dressed couples park their Porsches outside upscale galleries and head inside to haggle with owners over works by local artists like Sergio Ladron de Guevara."
The Digs
Western-inspired villas at the secluded Rancho Mañana Resort are appointed with luxurious amenities: think king-size beds, fully equipped kitchens, whirlpool tubs, fireplaces, and private balconies or patios.

Hi, I'm in search for some a good clear or white for Laguna's b-5 clay. I've used underglaze with another clear before and It seemed to make the piece darker, a little more amber colored than clear really. What I'm trying to do is use underglaze for design and have the design be over vibrant white (not sure if I'll use it on bisque or greenware yet). If b-5 isn't white enough then i'm thinking maybe I'll need to switch to a Laguna cone 5 porcelain and just buy clear glaze... Any suggestions? I've only bought pints of pre mixed glaze but I'm interested in buying the dry form just for easier dipping.
Looking for a good white or clear glaze for b-5 clay (Laguna)

You could try adding a white/porcelain slip over the items, then apply your decoration on top of the slip, and then glaze in clear.

ARTS & THE MIND, hosted by Lisa Kudrow, reveals the crucial impact of the arts on the human brain across our lifetimes and explores its particularly vital role in human development during youth and older age. The series shares stories of how music, dance, painting, poetry and theater markedly improve well-being at both ends of life, and reveals the cutting-edge science that explains the powerful positive impact of the arts upon our brains. Showcasing some of the nation's most innovative and successful arts programs, plus the work of leading American educators and scientists, ARTS & THE MIND illuminates how the arts can improve children's school performance as well as keep our brains agile and sharp into old age; how teenagers find meaning and hope through poetry at a renowned L.A. program supported by actor Tim Robbins; how the arts help children in hospitals and older veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder; why one of America's leading Alzheimer's researchers advises that dance is the single most effective way to ward off dementia.

So, I did my first cutout here in the seething heart of AHB country. Wow. What a learning experience.
The bees were a 3-4 year old hive in a small 5x7' storage shed, inside the space between the plywood ceiling panels and the roof. There was about 4 feet of comb (30 or so decent sized combs). I took pics but have to figure out how to post them.
The hive had not been particularly aggressive towards the owners. But, when I pulled down that plywood ceiling panel, hooh-boy, they got more than a bit peeved with me. I had about 30-50 bees swarming me the whole time, despite smoking like a madman around myself. The smoke hardly seemed to phase them. They actually bothered me much less when I was close to the comb. When I left the shed to go to my truck, they REALLY got mad. I walked about 75 yards, running my smoker constantly, but still had 20-30 bees following me.
I had timed this so that the sun would go down while doing it, and thats the only thing that really came to my rescue. Once night fell, I was able to leave without a cloud of bees around me.
Tried my beevac, but it wasn't working. So, I ended up with a lot of dead bees. After having been stung a half a dozen times, I wasn't feeling very remorseful.
I didn't get all the comb out- I'm going back tonight with a ladder and some tools to finish it up. This is my first, so I'm not charging for it, but I can honestly say it's the LAST one I will ever do for free.
Lessons learned:
1- Dadants Cricket beesuit WORKS. I think I got stung twice through it, and if I had had long sleeves on underneath, probably wouldnt have. Still, something like a Tyvek jacket over the beesuit would be helpful.
2- Gloves are extremely important. I had rubber grouters gloves from Home Depot, and while these did ok, I still got stung on my hand a couple times, and the glove tore so i fixed it with duct tape. I needed something even stronger/thicker. I think something like Hexarmor needlestick resistant gloves would be ideal.
3- Have an equipment checklist. I forgot some stuff which is why I have to go back.
4- AHBs are best handled at night, unless you like parking your vehicle a half mile away.
5- Smoke heavily, but it's a mild deterrent at best. I can understand now why Latin American beeks have HUGE smokers.
6- Bring extra boxes for comb.
7- Bring a plastic dropcloth to catch honey.
I didn't end up getting very many bees. I rubber-banded some brood and honeycomb into an 8 frame hive body and left the buckets with the comb (and attached bees) next to it. This morning there is some activity around the buckets, but not the hive. It certainly seems I have a lot fewer bees.
What a horrible, sticky mess. I had to take my truck to the carwash at midnight to hose out the dead bees and honey.

Hi everyone.
After a lot of blood, sweat and tears (mostly my tears), my husband has built me a topbar hive with a perspex viewing side panel. It's made of wood plyboard scrap and pine and I'm painting the outside to protect it from the elements with fence paint. I intend to move the entire hive from the ricketty hive we built 2 years ago to this new hive. The bees have only been in the old hive for just over 2 months, so there isn't a lot of comb. I think they lost their queen or swarmed, as there is only 5 bars with comb on it.
My question is - should I paint the inside of the hive too? Will this affect the bees? I obviously don't want to cause them to nick off. I've spent too much time on them. Once they are in this hive, I won't touch them again for many months, because I also have the bottom removable for inspections.
Any thoughts are welcome.

Apple Achieves One Million iPhone 4S Pre-orders During First Day
Tiffany Kaiser
October 10, 2011 10:00 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
IPhone 4S pre-orders began Friday, October 7
The iPhone 5 was a long-awaited follow-up to the iPhone 4, but when Apple made its official announcement last week, many customers and investors were disappointed to find out that an
iPhone 4S
would be this month's newest mobile release. But that didn't stop Apple from achieving one million iPhone 4S pre-orders within the first 24 hours of pre-order availability.
The problem many had with the news of the 4S was the
relatively few changes made
since the iPhone 4 -- especially in the realm of external changes. A few notable internal changes would be a dual-core A5 processor, iOS 5 mobile operating system, the Siri voice recognition assistant, an 8MP camera and compatibility across GSM and CDMA networks.
Despite complaints from customers and investors, technical analysis company UBM TechInsights predicted that the iPhone 4S would provide
healthy profit margins
comparable to prior iPhone releases.
From the looks of it, they were right -- Apple announced that it topped one million iPhone 4S pre-orders within the first day of making pre-orders available.
"We are blown away with the incredible response to iPhone 4S," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "The first day pre-orders for iPhone 4S have been the most for any new product that Apple has ever launched and we are thrilled that customers love iPhone 4S as much as we do."
What likely helped Apple out is the
addition of Sprint
as an iPhone carrier. It was discovered back in August that Sprint, for the first time, would sell the iPhone come the newest release in October. Not only that, but it would be the only carrier to offer unlimited plans for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, giving it an edge over AT&T and Verizon.
IPhone 4S pre-orders
began Friday, October 7. The iPhone 4S will be available October 14.
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

Faculty, staff must scan UTSA PCs for SSNs
By Alex Morones
Technical Writer and Editor, Office of Information Technology
(June 21, 2007)--The UTSA Office of Information Technology (OIT) has instituted a program to help faculty and staff members find files containing Social Security Number (SSN) and credit card number (CCN) information.
The program is driven by a UT System directive that requires all faculty and staff members to reduce the usage and collection of SSNs by Sept. 1, 2007. Files that contain SSNs are prime targets for hackers who use them in identity theft schemes.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
According to UTSA information security analyst Lance Pritchard, "Many professors and staff members may unknowingly have files on their PCs or their servers that contain SSNs. In fact, we have already heard from some staff members who didn't realize that they had this information on their computer."
OIT has automatically transmitted (or "pushed") a software tool to most UTSA desktops. However, because there are several PC configurations, not all desktops were received the push.
The software application, SenfNet, was developed by UT Austin. Find instructions for installing SenfNet at the UTSA Information Technology Web site. If you do not find the SenfNet icon on your desktop, you can download it from the Web site.
For more information, contact the OIT Help Desk at (210) 458-5538 or Lance Pritchard at (210) 458-7218.

Better Know an Athlete: Danielle Carruthers
After almost quitting the sport completely, hurdler Danielle Carruthers is headed to the Olympics to bring home the gold.
Danielle Carruthers
Age: 32
Born: Paducah, Kentucky
Event: 100 m hurdles
Despite a history of inconsistency and two torn ACLs before she ever set foot on a collegiate track field, Carruthers is considered something of a late bloomer but has managed an impressive career. After failing to qualify for the 2004 Olympic team (finishing just one spot shy), she strung together back-to-back 60 m indoor titles at the NCAA Championships in 2005 and 2006 and came within a hundredth of a second of placing in the event at the IAAF Indoor Track and Field Finals, finishing 7.88 to her Australian rival Sally Pearson's 7.87. After failing to qualify again for the 2008 games in Sydney, she disappeared from the sport hoping to reinvent herself and successfully did so with a breakout campaign in 2011 in which she set a personal best time of 12.47 in the 100 m meter hurdles, ousting compatriot and reigning Olympic champion Dawn Harper. Though she fell short again to Pearson (who finished that race with a 12.28, good for the fourth fastest time ever) she did claim the IAAF Diamond League trophy, track and field's top honor, and with it a spot on the 2012 Olympic team.
Personal Bests (Outdoor):
100 meter hurdles: 12.47
Personal Bests (Indoor):
50 meter hurdles: 6.90
60 meter hurdles: 7.88
Worth Noting: While aspirations of track and field fame followed her, Carruthers spent a long time in limbo: not quite fast enough to compete with elite sprinters but too fast for the hurdles, her career was always a crapshoot. She'd either leave the competition in the dust or stumble over a literal hurdle as a result of bad pacing. Her triumph in 2011, capped off with the Diamond Trophy, an award given out specifically for yearlong consistency, seems to signal that she has indeed found her stride.
Carruthers on Her Career Turnaround: "I have more than proven that I am capable of pulling myself out of a hole…Hurdling is all rhythm…I can close my eyes now and feel the rhythm."
Olympic Scouting Report: The road to the Olympics has not been an easy one for Carruthers, but now that she's there, she is in a position to at the very least place. She knows her competition well: Pearson and Harper will both be competing in the event (Pearson being the favorite), but the story seems too good to not come true. This is one of the great American comeback tales and having already taken the Diamond Trophy from Pearson last year, this may be Carruthers' time to take Olympic gold as well.

T.C. Tucker
On November 15, 1928, T. C. Tucker made the first radio address on a transcontinental train trip to New York in the United States about grower tariffs. Standing next to Tucker is his daughter, Thelma, who would become the first image used to advertise Blue Diamond Almonds.
The Tucker era began as the Exchange closed out its third successful crop year. In February 1913, Tucker reported to the board that the membership had been paid in full, that the cooperative would enter the new crop year with its first surplus of $700 on the books, and that the association's bank, encouraged by three years of successful operations, had agreed to new, more favorable terms - terms that Tucker welcomed, because "interest expense was one of our heaviest items."
Working with an equally committed board of directors, Tucker expanded the market for Blue Diamond almonds and pioneered an industry leading processing and manufacturing facility. He promoted the brand at every opportunity and in innovative ways, and personally cultivated customers coast-to-coast. He experimented with new products, packaging and market channels. He developed a relationship with state and federal government officials that served the cooperative well on issues of importance to the membership. He fought hard to lower freight rates on California almonds to better compete with lower cost imports in eastern markets. He spent thousands of hours on the road promoting cooperation among growers and helping form new associations of members.
With Tucker at the helm as general manager for 23 years, the members of the California Almond Growers Exchange powered their cooperative from wide-eyed infancy through a shaky adolescence, into self-confident maturity and leadership in the almond processing and marketing industry.
This collection of photos and other memorabilia was made available to Blue Diamond by T.C. Tucker's grandson, Charles Robert "Bob" Connelly and his great-granddaughter, Cheryl Starch, who live in the foothills off Highway 50 above Sacramento, California."

**This is a bit of a long read, but please, please, stick with it. You will get some good laughs**
1. YEEEEEEEEHAWWWW I AM ****ING CRAZY! I covered the Cowboys for NBC for three years, and I think it's clear to anyone following the team that Jerry Jones is growing more and more out of it by the second. And I mean this in relative terms. The Double J has always been a raging, megalomaniacal nutcase. But now, as he edges closer to his 70th birthday, it appears as if he's completely coming off the hinges. There's the rapping. There's the "glory hole days" comment. Cowboys fans have loathed Jones's meddling for over two decades, but the scary thing is that all of that now feels like a prelude to the REAL madness.
By now, we're all used to Jones looking for any open microphone and then using it immediately to undermine his own coaching staff. We're used to him hand-selecting players like Dez Bryanta player so rotten he needs 24-hour babysitting to keep from curb-stomping his own momand then demanding that those players be showcased, often to the detriment of winning football games. We're used to him bringing in turd after turd after turd because he fancies the Cowboys as America's greatest ongoing reality show. Early in his ownership, Jones loved winning because it brought him attention. But now that the Cowboys suck and can't win, he's more than happy to get ANY attention, good or bad. Any time a Cowboys player shows up in the pages of US Weekly, the Double J orgasms out of his face. And as he grows older and closer and closer to death, he's become dangerously addicted to that attention. He's a meth head for publicity. It's enveloped him so much that winning games has become incidental.
Which is a good thing because this team is awful. The Cowboys consist of a rapidly aging core of playersTony Romo, Miles Austin, DeMarcus Ware, Jay Ratliff, and Jason Wittenwho were all brought in by Bill Parcells. For the past several years, Jones has desperately tried to assemble a decent roster around this core, and he has failed horribly. The line is awful. The secondary, despite adding rookie Morris Claiborne, is puke. And the linebackers can't cover anyone. The old core is getting closer and closer to eroding and all that will be left are the dog**** scraps that the Double J brought in. It's a roster that's coming apart as quickly as Jones's psyche, and as they sink deeper into a cycle of consistent losing, the antics will grow more and more reckless and insane. I'm telling you, we haven't seen anything yet. Jones will burn this franchise to the ground and salt the earth behind him on his way to the casket.
2. Tony Romo AND A HERP AND A DERP. Tony Romo's chokery is so reliable that you can now schedule it. Want proof? Seven straight Sunday Night Football losses. Each one more pathetic than the last. It has become a fall tradition for people to gather around the TV on a Sunday night four times a year to watch this team gag like a rookie pornstar. And the best part is that I get to watch it happen again TOMORROW! That's right! This team lost its last two SNF games to the Giants, and loogit who they get to play in the opener. In primetime. On SNF (albeit on a Wednesday night). These same Giants. They have no prayer of winning. None. If you have a deed to your house, go ahead and bet it on New York and enjoy having two houses next week. Five of this team's eight losses last season (Jets, Lions, Pats, Cardinals, Giants) were epic choke jobs; other franchises don't have five losses like that in their entire HISTORY. The Cowboys don't simply lose games. They vomit them up and then slip in that vomit and then fall face-down in that vomit and then choke to death on that vomit. Why would anything be any different this season? They still have Romo, and they still have ...
3. "Hmm. Yes. Indeed." "Few coaches would have the Princetonian gumption to ice their own kicker, but I, Jason Garrett, know that it's a strategy far ahead of its time. Pity my own players weren't able to execute such a masterfully counterintuitive act of daring. I am convinced now, more than ever, that if we simply repeat the strategy five or six more times, we shall be proven prescient. TALLY HO, NOBEL COMMITTEE. I expect fine eatings when I arrive in Stockholm the year after next!"
4. You are NOT long-suffering. I barely need to tell you how horrible Cowboys fans are. They're nothing but a bunch of front-running, carpetbagging dip****s, most of whom have NO ties to Dallas or Texas whatsoever. They spend more time perusing the Cowboys NFL Shop catalog than watching live gameplay. Virtually every Cowboys fan introduces himself as a "longtime Cowboys fan" in the hopes of sustaining the illusion that he was a fan long before 1992. Everyone knows it's bull****. These are awful, horrible fans, the kind that buy tickets to JerryWorld and spend half the game drinking with their fellow flight attendants in the Bud Lime-a-Rita Zone and barely paying attention to the game itself.
But do you know what the worst part is? Now that the Cowboys are undeniably ****ed for the next decade, these people are begging you for PITY. All through the '90s, you couldn't find a more arrogant, obnoxious group of fans. But now that the Cowboys have become the premier choke artists in all of sports, they have come looking for sympathy. "I'm a long-suffering Cowboys fan." **** YOU. YOU DO NOT KNOW SUFFERING. Don't you dare try to lump yourselves in with Lions and Browns and Vikings and Bills and Bengals fans. There is nothing pitiable about a Cowboys fan. This team is exactly what you pieces of **** deserve after casually attaching yourself to a dynasty all those years ago. You deserve a senile Double J. You deserve Wolfman Rob blitzing 10 men on every snap and giving up 20-yard gains on every play. You deserve Cousin Sal. You deserve Romo somehow fumbling and throwing a pick simultaneously with 57 seconds left on the clock. This is your time of reckoning. You earned every horrible second of it.
-Drew Magary

A forum co-sponsored with Labor Notes Michigan, home of the modern American labor movement, has passed a draconic "right to work law" that undermines the power of organized labor and signals a broad attack on organized labor. Not only is the labor movement but American democracy itself is under attack. Without the political muscle of the labor movement the rights of women, health legislation, and a range of progressive causes are threatened.
At the Alameda Public Affairs Forum we have asked three longtime labor activists in the Bay Area to present their thoughts on the current state of labor. They will lead a discussion about what new strategies and ideas are needed to repel this wave of anti-labor legislation and to build a labor movement that can revive the voice of all working people.

Joe and Theresa are shouldn't even be on this show. She's such a douche! Everything she does is for her benefit. Selfish and egotistical. Also hate her squicky. If there's a fight on the show – That's where you'll find her. AND, she KNOWS Joe cheats, she won't divorce him because she probably thinks the show would kick them both off. Plus, they have been involved in unscruplous behavior! Fire them and find someone that's compatabal (spelling) with the rest of the group.

You are all wrong Teresa was sticking up for Melissa even after they accused her.She has done nothing wrong to Melissa,but yet the all gang up on her.I actually feel really bad for Melissa because people are starting to find out about her bad side.She always tried to play this role where she was so innocent, but now everyone's starting to see.Everyone needs to lay off of Teresa because she is the victim not Melissa.I rest my case:-)
Posted at 10:04 PM on October 25, 2012
I think Teresa and her husand, Joe are both psychotic. His vocabulary is no longer than, "What ever." Teresa definitely needs her head check. She is in denial about Joe's infidelity. What is about her brother? I have come to the conclusion that she want her brother for herself. She is obsess with Melissa. Because she is unhappy she wants Joe and Melissa to be. Of course Melissa is to discuss things with her husband, the minute she does not tell her husband something and Teresa hears about it, can't you just see her running to her brother saying Melissa is hiding something from him. She stirs the pot. She will not rest until she breaks them up. What she needs to do is take care of her family, because as everyone can see from the show there is a break down. The children say and do what they want and she has no control. Yet she say "I am a good mother" And, She and Joe, we are happy, "In her dreams." We all know Joe cheats every chance he gets and Teresa excepts it because you know, " WE LOVE EACH OTHER AND WE ARE HAPPY." Ha, thats a joke.
Posted at 6:51 PM on November 5, 2012
i couldnt agree more, her and joe are both mental, shes obsessed with her brother and doesnt want 2 share him so goes for melissa such evil ways, of course joe cheats he knows his wifes a nutcase with hammer head shark eyes, there kids are brats.. and audriana was left 'unattended' coz her mum was 2 busy bein a hoe and her dad was 2 busy tryin 2 punch up her uncle..
Posted at 3:00 PM on October 20, 2012
I think they all contributed to the viciousness that went on. All season and last season they all said horrible things about Theresa. I think Theresa became spiteful and that is what really caused chias on the show. I do not believe that Melissa is as innocent as you all believe, (based on her criminal history in Florida) and I believe that Kathy does whatever Melissa tells her to do. The Gorgas have been in financial difficulty which is no big deal, but they spent a season knocking Joe Guidice for his financial problems. They also knocked him for his legal problems with DUI, and meanwhile all the time, Melissa had a warrant out for her arrest, which I now understand was quickly quieted down through an attorney. So do not be so quick to judge just Theresa, judge them all. Kathy's husband is not worth mentioning. I think an overhall is in order, I liked the show before Melissa a Kathy came on because from day one Melissa and her sister's were knocking Tre, go back and look at her first season.

I absolutely adore Joe & Melissa Gorga. They are madly in love with beautiful, healthy children. Teresa & her criminal husband are both very troubled people. Hello, Tre? Come on you COULDN'T think your husband is loyal to you. I know you're not that stupid. The reason Joe had to do half the stuff he did was to afford his wife's shopping disorder.

Oh Gawd!
A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car
and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde. The blonde
cop asked to see the blonde driver's license. She dug through her purse andwas getting progressively more agitated. "What does it look like?" she finally asked. The policewoman replied, "It's square and it has your picture on it." The driver finally found a square mirror, looked at it and handed it
to the policewoman. "Here it is," she said. The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying,
"Okay, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop."
Oh Gawd!

Video: Cold weather to test Occupy Wall Street
posted at 2:45 pm on October 29, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
That's what New York City authorities hope, anyway, which is why the city timed its "fire hazard" raids yesterday. They seized generators and fuel as fire hazards — which would almost certainly be the case in a crowded area like this — just in time for snowfall predicted for later today. CBS News notes that the Occupiers have some limited options, such as a public atrium on Wall Street itself owned (or perhaps just controlled) in part by the city that is required to remain open. However, that appears to be utilized by OWS as more of a leadership meeting space than an "occupied" zone, although that could change if conditions deteriorate at Zuccotti Park. Will this be it for the main Occupy protest zone, or will it take tougher measures than freezing temperatures and an inch of snow to dislodge the protesters?
Over at Occupy DC, they've already been dealing with bad weather and cold temperatures, although not as cold as predicted for New York City, and don't appear to be diminishing. In fact, as The Daily Caller reports this morning, they've been busy working on a declaration of independence. Do the Occupiers want to secede? Er …
"They're basically doing everything the Forefathers were doing in 1775 when they developed our Constitution."
Actually, that's not even close, champ. In 1775, our forefathers were trying to get the British to negotiate. In 1776, when King George III sent back a reply that called them traitors for challenging his authority, they began working on the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution, which didn't get started until 1787. And I'm pretty sure that it didn't get approval one sentence at a time, either.
As for the "secession," what Anthony Sluder is actually describing here is an autonomous collective, not a city. They're missing quite a few things that cities usually have, including roofs, permanent infrastructure, and an independent economy. There is nothing illegal about forming an autonomous collective as long as it's formed on private property, and as long as it doesn't violate any other laws. If you want to hear an entertaining description of the political processes in an autonomous collective, try this clip on for size — and marvel at just how familiar this language is. Who knew that the Occupy Movement was the world's biggest Monty Python skit?

Okay, I was going to post this over in the LB thread, but it got a little off topic, so its going here:
I honestly believe that Kuechly will fall into the 2nd round. "Solid
Athletes" do not get drafted in the first round. It really doesn't
matter how good a football player they are, if somebody doesn't blow up
the combine, they're not going in the 1st.
IMO, Courtney Upshaw, Dont'a Hightower (if he comes out), and Zach Brown
will vie for first LB off the board (Upshaw is my pick to go first, and
to some 34 team in need of a passrusher, I'm thinking maybe Chargers or
Pats). Also, I'm thinking the Ravens will grab Burfict, particularly if
they miss the playoffs. Indy probably wants another Peyton, so I can
see Baltimore wanting another Ray Lewis.
As for the Giants, I think Kuechly in the 2nd is a classic Reese pick. Insane value at a position of need.
In the 1st I'm thinking either Dwayne Allen, Mike Martin, or some
road-grader C/G that fell due to not being secksy enough (Snee-II). Both
fit the Giants' mold, and both could/should be there in the late 1st.
If they don't get Martin in the 1st, I could see Jarrod Crick falling to
the 3rd, (undersized and injured, not a good combination) and would be an absurd value there.
