|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Population: 13,200,518
Capital: Guatemala
ILO Core Conventions Ratified: 29 – 87 – 98 – 100 – 105 – 111 – 138 – 182
Guatemala is a country engulfed in structural violence. The trade union movement is subject to constant repression and trade unionists remain under threat. Labour legislation only exists in theory. Many cases of threats, attacks, kidnapping and raids were reported this year. Coca Cola provided incentives to its workers to leave the union, and the Salvadorian company Bocadeli continued to enjoy impunity for proven anti-union practices. The Free Trade Agreement with the United States came into force amid strong opposition from the trade union movement.
Trade union rights in law
The Constitution and the Labour Code recognise workers' freedom of association and all workers have the right to form and join trade unions, including public sector employees, with the exception of members of the security forces.
Workers have the right to organise and bargain collectively, provided the union represents more than 25 per cent of workers in an enterprise, a requirement considered excessive by the ILO. Unions are also allowed to affiliate to international confederations.
The law provides for a system of labour and social welfare courts to rule on violations of the Labour Code. The export processing zones are not exempted from applying the labour laws.
Restrictions: The Labour Code still contains restrictions on trade union rights:
Article 220 of the Labour Code states that members of the union's executive must provide a sworn statement to the effect that they are Guatemalan nationals with no previous criminal convictions and are currently employees of the company or working for it in a freelance capacity. Employers are not subjected to any such procedures, so this is not merely deepening existing inequalities before the law between employers and workers, but also introducing a new form of discrimination within labour legislation, since it fails to take account of the large number of people in Guatemala who cannot read or write, and all those who do not speak or write in Spanish but in their indigenous languages.
the sanction of one to five years' imprisonment for persons carrying out acts aimed at paralysing or disrupting enterprises that contribute to the country's economic development.
the requirement for compulsory arbitration, without the possibility of recourse to strike action, in public services which are not "essential" in the strict sense of the term, such as health, public transport and services related to fuel, and the prohibition of solidarity strikes.
the absence of a consultation procedure to allow trade unions to express their views to the financial authorities when they are drawing up the budget.
Right to strike: Workers are allowed to strike provided they have the support of 51 percent of the workforce in that company. The right is more restricted for people employed in the public sector. Although the law only provides an exception to the right to strike for essential public services, the list of those services is longer than the one used by the ILO. As a result, all education, postal, transport, transport generation and energy workers are denied the right to strike.
Trade union rights in practice
Right to life endangered through exercise of the right to form a union: By exercising their right to form a union, Guatemalans risk not only their right to work, which is one human right, but also their very lives. The violent and insecure conditions in which trade unions have to operate are not improving. Official denunciations of murders, kidnapping, attacks and raids on union offices and leaders' homes have continued. And the authorities in charge of investigating these incidents and ensuring compliance with the law and access to justice mostly avoid taking any action or do so too late.
The threat of losing their jobs has a powerful dissuasive effect on workers wishing to set up unions. However, the fear of losing their lives is the strongest possible disincentive for those trying to create, build and consolidate trade unions.
Continuous anti-union discrimination: Anti-union discrimination takes different forms. In addition to the extremes of assassination, attempted assassination and imprisonment, it includes dismissals of workers who attempt to set up unions, bargain collectively or carry out trade union actions. There are also blacklists of union leaders and members, and temporary plant closures. The International Textile, Garment & Leather Workers' Federation (ITGLWF) reported to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in January 2003, that it was common practice for a company to close down a plant and transfer its operations after a trade union had been established.
Employers hostile to unions: The exercise of trade union rights remains severely hampered by hostility towards the trade unions and the failings of the legal system. Employer intimidation against trade unionists is common, and usually goes unpunished. As a result, union membership is very low – only about three per cent of the work force. This inevitably has an impact on collective bargaining, as does the requirement that 25 per cent of workers in an enterprise must be union members for bargaining to take place. Even where employers recognise the union and agree to bargaining, there is a tendency to ignore collective agreements.
Companies use all possible means of preventing the creation of trade unions, either by making dismissals before the union is formed or by filing writs. Another common practice for getting rid of an existing union is for employers, who are well aware of the poverty of most workers and the ineptitude of the Labour Ministry, to sack trade unionists in violation of labour laws and later to buy their favours, sometimes forcing them to denounce the presence of trade unions at the company. They also offer improved wages or working conditions as incentives for leaving the union. Another technique used by companies to avoid their obligations is to change their names, even where there has been no change of ownership.
Weak judicial system leads to impunity: The country has a poor record of labour inspection. According to workers, the inspectors are more likely to persuade them to renounce their rights than seek to protect them, and often give employers' advance warning of their visits.
The labour courts are overrun with applications for the reinstatement of workers, and cases can drag on for over ten years. The majority of dismissals are groundless, which is why judges order reinstatement. Employers tend to ignore court rulings, however, and the courts do nothing to make sure that their own decisions are respected.
Problems with organising in the export processing zones (EPZs): In the EPZs or "maquiladoras" (assembly plants), labour law enforcement is particularly weak, and so far only one collective bargaining agreement has been signed. There is a lack of political will which is reflected by the labour authorities' inability to control the failings and violations in these sectors.
The mobility of such investment is one of the things making it impossible to set up trade unions in the EPZs. To take one example, 20 factories were closed down in just the first five months of 2006, leaving 5,000 workers jobless.
Violations in 2006
Background: The violence in Guatemala is incessant and reached its peak in January with a total of 394 victims. These violations of the right to life included violent deaths, extralegal executions, social cleansing, lynching and massacres. According to the unions, the implementation of the Free Trade Agreement with the United States, which began in July and was opposed by most social organisations and movements, will not help reduce social inequalities but deepen them.
Threats, harassment and attempted raid on home of trade unionist: On 15 March, unknown persons attempted a raid on the home of Felipe de Jesús Sirín, the leader of the Ad Hoc Workers Committee of the National Police. Sirín had been threatened on previous occasions and subjected to repeated harassment and intimidation aimed at forcing him to give up his union post. The last such attempt had been made after the union leader had presented a series of complaints and requested an external enquiry into the anomalous practices in his organisation, which is why the police authorities are themselves suspected of involvement in the attempted raid on his home.
Attempt on the life of a teachers' leader: On 20 March, Claudia Jeannette Rivas, Departmental Secretary of the Teachers' Union of Guatemala (STEG) was attacked by an armed man who tried to shoot her. This occurred a few days after Claudia had complained about corrupt practices in the Education Ministry of Jutiapa. This was not the first time that she had been attacked and her brother, who was also a member of the union, was murdered in 2005.
Union leader kidnapped for two hours: Erwin Estuardo Orrego, a member of the market sellers' union, Frente de Emergencia Vendedores de Mercados de Guatemala, was kidnapped by two armed men on 27 July and held for two hours in the centre of the capital city. They blindfolded him and took him to offices in what he later realised was the police station, where 12 other individuals joined the two kidnappers. He was beaten up but then released after the kidnappers realised that he was on the phone to the Guatemala Human Rights Organisation. Despite official complaints no progress has been made on this case.
Intimidation of union leader: On 26 November at 8pm, Cesar Humberto Guerra, the Labour and Conflicts Secretary of the Itzabal banana workers union (SITRABI) and Education Secretary of the CUSG, was intercepted by three men while driving through the Chicasaw banana plantations in a vehicle owned by SITRABI. The men were armed, fired in the air and broke his windscreen with a stone.
Threats against members of a bank workers union continue: The leaders of the Workers' Union of the National Mortgage Bank (Sindicato de Trabajadores del Crédito Hiptecario Nacional – STCHN) have continued to receive threats. According to UNSITRAGUA, the coercion they experienced in 2005 (see 2006 Survey) was stepped up in 2006, which shows that despite the international denunciations, the company is not giving up its aim of destroying the trade union.
Raid on CUSG office: On 6 April, the head office of the Confederación de Unidad Sindical de Guatemala, CUSG, was raided by unknown persons. They stole computer equipment, books and some other important trade union policy documents.
Dishonest anti-union action by a Coca Cola distributor: On 25 September the sales manager of the Coca Cola distribution company in Huehuetenango held a meeting of the staff and offered anyone leaving the union an immediate pay rise of around 140 dollars and the benefits contained in the Collective Agreement, which had never been applied, along with some other gifts, such as four free crates of water per month. He managed to persuade 50 per cent of the staff and got them to sign a letter stating that they were leaving the union in front of a lawyer.
The Food and Agricultural workers federation, Federación Sindical de Trabajadores de la Alimentación, Agroindustria y Similares de Guatemala (FESTRAS), complained that this was not just a tactic for putting pressure on the union, but was frankly dishonest, since all the things on offer were, in fact, entitlements of all the staff of the company, and with people leaving the union the workers would lose their collective demand that the rights be applied.
Legal recognition denied to agricultural workers' union: On 28 July 2006 UNSITRAGUA was informed that legal recognition was being denied to the independent agricultural workers union, Sindicato de Trabajadores Campesinos Independientes (Liga Campesina), in Cerro Colorado, although the latter had submitted the relevant information and requests for legalisation to the Ministry of Labour three days earlier. The Ministry of Labour made the recognition and registration subject to some illogical requirements that undermined freedom of association, since they required written consent. Though this is a legal request it is not usually insisted on and, as mentioned earlier in the Law section, it has been criticised as a discriminatory requirement.
Registration of a union is an obstacle course: On 6 July, the Workers Union of the Environment and National Resources Ministry, Sindicato de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras del Ministerio de Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SITRAMARN), was formed, and on 3 August the Ministry announced the dismissal of a series of its founder members. Since the decision to register the union was announced the same day the workers held a demonstration and said they would make an official complaint to the ILO and take the ministry to court. Faced with this pressure the Ministry proceeded to cancel the dismissals.
Once the union had been registered it elected its leadership on 5 August, and submitted all the documents to the competent authorities on 8 August. Three days later the union received a note from the Directorate-General for Labour stating that the registration of the leadership was suspended since it had received a writ from the Environment and National Resources Ministry opposing the constitution of the union. Such suspensions based on writs are illegal.
Impunity for company violating freedom of association: The workers who were dismissed "en masse" by the company Bocadeli de Guatemala S.A. have still not been reinstated in their jobs or been granted their legal rights. Last year, the union at the company, supported by UNSITRAGUA, had publicly denounced the Avestruz plan adopted by the company, which planned the closure of all its plants and their relocation to another place, specifically in order to break up the union which was claiming some withheld wages and trying to negotiate a collective agreement on working conditions.
The company, which is a subsidiary of the Salvadorian multinational Productos Alimenticios Bocadeli S.A. de C.V., has had its assets seized and faces a court case but is still operating in Guatemala under the trade name of Karante S.A.
The company has persisted in its anti-union practices. Despite the embargo, its legal representatives managed to obtain permission from the police to remove the embargoed company vehicles, on the pretext that they needed maintenance. That initiative was blocked on 4 July by the workers, who prevented the embargoed vehicles from leaving the site, though they were threatened with personal injury by Bocadeli representatives. In addition, the company lawyer Randolf Castellanos insulted the leaders of UNSITRAGUA and the representatives of the Attorney-General for Human Rights who were supporting the trade unionists' action.
Sacked for trying to form a union: In November, nine workers who signed a request to the Labour Ministry to form a workers' committee, as the precursor of a union, were dismissed from the Arandia company. An industrial tribunal ruled in favour of their reinstatement. The dismissed persons included Cristina Pérez, who had stated in an interview that security guards sometimes locked her in until late at night, despite the fact that she was breast-feeding a child, and Karen Chacón, who said that the company was treating the workers "like animals". Arandia produces clothes for the retail company Jones Apparel Group, which owns the Gloria Vanderbilt and Nine West brands.

Leaking fluid?
I leaked fluid with my first pregnancy but didnt realize it for about a month. I basically was wet all the time and had to constantly wear a pantiliner. There was no gushing or anything, it was always light. Finally had a sono and realized there was no fluid around baby. She was fine tho.
Unless u are CONSTANTLY wet or leaking, i wouldnt worry about it.
My water broke with my twins at 35 weeks and I thought I had sat in something so I changed my dress. I spread it over the bed to dry and it dried crusty and yellow. Then I realised I hadn't peed myself or sat in something. And it smelled like a new lamb.
The day DS was born I kept leaking a little bit of fluid every time I stood up. I wasn't sure if it was that or urine, but until then I'd never had a problem with leaking urine like that, and my water broke later that night so I'm pretty certain it was fluid. Since you're only 30 weeks I'd see if you can get it checked, to be safe.
The only way to know is if you go in and get it tested. However due to the fact your uterus is on top of your bladder and you have a baby in it, most likely it was urine. You still retain a little urine even after you pee. I had to wear poise pads because I would leak urine while pregnant.

Mind you, the asshole didn't even say please or anything like that and I really want to say, "Fuck you. You chose your 10 year junior Med Girl over your wife and family. If you chose us, we would have been able to spend Thanksgiving as a family. Further more, on our sons birthday, I asked you if I could video chat with him to say good night and you denied me under the premise of "We were sleeping," which I really don't fucking believe. You are a piece of shit cheater who blew up our family for a girl who will leave you in 2015 to do her residency program. You thought you had better but you didn't realize how much debt you were going to get into with our divorce, child support and financing your fucking girlfriend and how you will be spending the holidays alone she isn't bringing you back to her family members, FUCK YOU. Feel sorry for yourself, piece of shit. Stupid asshole." But since I am strict no contact, I refuse to let him get a word out of me.
Should I have a heart and let him have an extra video chat with his son today? Or should I stick to the court order with one?
I would stick to your court order, mostly because your child does not enjoy these video chats. Now, if it were the other way around and your son was asking-- I'd totally say yes of course.
But the Ex deserves no special considerations. Just like he gave your family/marriage no special considerations.
Do the extra chat, or if son has difficulty with attention- maybe add a phone chat as well if possible?
This isn't about you and your feelings. This is about fostering a good relationship with your son. You never want him to feel you blocked his contact with his dad.
If this isn't what I consider soulmate crap, I don't know what is.
I would stick to your court order, mostly because your child does not enjoy these video chats. Now, if it were the other way around and your son was asking-- I'd totally say yes of course.
I'd agree to the second call but only for as long as your 3 year old wants to talk.
I, like you, have many many more years of this shit to contend with as my girls are 5.5 and 3. I try to be flexible if it suits me and is not detrimental to the girls. I do this for them, for me - not for him.
How do you know all of this info about him? NC means not letting anyone tell you stuff about him too. It derails your healing every time you do.
But if you play hard ball by the rules, it is a dead given he will hold onto the need to "get even" and withhold the contact next time you want it.
Model the right behavior. Take the high road. It is good practice for when your son is old enough to "see" what choices you make and to make the same decisions for himself in the future.
If you decide to do this, I would send a "son will call at such and such time." No discussion, no negotiation, and if video chat is more difficult, make it a phone call instead.
(((hugs))) I hate hearing the FT voice in my house, so I know how high this particular high road is.
Well I decided to be nice. I let DS3 face time him as soon as DS3 woke. STBXH never answered and that always means his girlfriend is around. An hour later, STBXH tried to call back and I just ignored it. Ever since, my mood has been down hill. I feel like a piece of thrown away shit. Our family. I know this is for the better, I will be better.
But he threw us away because he likes bragging that he is dating a med student. His girlfriend is going to be a doctor. This is all about his ego. I wish I went to Iraq back in 2008 instead of getting my orders revoked. I would have never met him.
So you guys agree on a time to call? If you did and he didn't answer then I'd be sticking to the decree going forward so your son isn't being disappointed again. If you didn't agree to a time then I would not have called him without having a time locked in.
Again, not to stick it to X (he's sticking to himself) but so you're not put into this position again.
It takes practice but you will need to break your give a shit in regards to what he does/doesn't do or why. I make planning like a military operation against an unfriendly. I do all I can to eradicate my involvement in him fucking up my girls.
I should mention that original text he sent me was at midnight so I had our son call first thing when my son woke. He missed the call so I didn't do anything again until the actual court ordered time. If I were missing my son that bad that I had to bother his mom at midnight, I would be right next to my phone just in case the call came through. I am pretty sure he was with OW so he didn't pick up.
Here is the kicker, he sent another text this morning asking to video chat again today since they didn't talk long yesterday. I am going with crickets on that one. He can speak to him on Sunday as per temporary order.
The divorce is final in 5 days and it couldn't be soon enough.
[This message edited by movingforward13 at 7:35 AM, November 29th (Friday)]
I can tell his intervention into the day threw you off. I am so sorry.
He sounds like a "give an inch and he demands a mile."
I regret my earlier advice. Ignore him. You have orders that set every communication. You won't get anything from him so entertaining requests from you sets you back
I am sorry.

Last week I took a friend fly fishing for the first time. I love taking someone out to river and putting them on fish. Of course, there is a selfish reason of why I like to take people and that is it gives me a great excuse to be standing in water some where but the main reason is to introduce someone new to the sport, show them how to catch fish and explain how much fly fishing means to me.
This last time I took my friend Paul to a spot on the Provo River where I know no mater how tough it might be to catch on to casting, mending line and or presenting the fly the fish will eat what ever you put in front of them. Sure enough Paul had on a few and landing two. Any friends or anyone for the mater want to go fly fishing for the first time let me know I will always make time to show someone how to catch a fish on a fly rod. I included an email I received from Paul after we went.
"Thanks again for taking the time to show me the basics of fly fishing. While I, like most people, thought I had the basics learned from watching 'And a River Runs Through it', I quickly realized that the art of fly fishing is just that….an art. Much like that of golfing, the pursuit of that perfect cast is a continual effort based on ever changing conditions both in and out of the water.
As you educated me about all the different components of fly fishing, I must say I was quite amazed at your vast knowledge and all the things to take into consideration when trying to fly fish. I had no idea of all the different fly options based on the time of year, time of day, location, and so on.
While I would like to think that after one outing I didn't do to badly, I know I still have room for improvement. Thanks for taking the time to show me all the many things to be cognoscente of when trying to catch a fish whether on top or on bottom. It was really quite interesting to work on mending the line so not to drag it and give the fish the illusion of a natural bug underwater. I would like to think you are a master of the art but I'm sure you'd humbly reject the compliment. Even though we only caught a few fish that day I must say that I'd go out and again to continue the pursuit of an improved cast as well as gaining a growing knowledge of the sport.
I had a good time. Thanks.

- Artist: Infantry Rockers
- Genre: Reggae
- Release Date: 10/30/2007
Boombala is power, anger, happiness and raw energy. It's excitement, pain, frustration and most of all hope. It's musicians coming to the United States from Africa, South America and the Caribbean and it's Americans living abroad and coming back to the US. It's what brings people together from different worlds and it's what the Infantry Rockers have lived and experienced. Boombala is the Infantry Rockers' third commercial release since they formed in 1999 and clearly shows the band's evolution and expansion from a dub collective to a hard-hitting multidimensional powerhouse of musical styles. Ragga, cumbia, reggae and other musical formats are mixed with echoes from the members' home continents to create a sound unique to the group. After the success of the Infantry Rockers' initial releases, Dubhead Records UK picked up the band to release their songs on "Dub Solidarity" and "Shake the Nations" compilations next to reggae heavy-hitters such as Rootsman, Adrian Sherwood (as 2BadCard), Vibronics, Big Youth, and Twilight Circus. The Infantry Rockers were also recently featured on Sound Imperium's "Pre-Emptive Dub Attack" (Near and Far Records), which reached #3 on Earshot.com's international chart, hit #10 on Chartattack and culminated with a strong placement in College Music Journal's (CMJ) New World Top 30 Chart. Still performing live, Infantry Rocker "Dub Insurgent" and Paul Harding of Sound Imperium recently opened for Manu Chao in New Orleans during his 2007 US Tour.

Economic Impacts of Unionization on Private Sector Employers: 1984-2001
Economic impacts of unionization on employers are difficult to estimate in the absence of large, representative data on establishments with union status information. Estimates are also confounded by selection bias, because unions could organize at highly profitable enterprises that are more likely to grow and pay higher wages. Using multiple establishment-level data sets that represent establishments that faced organizing drives in the U.S. during 1984-1999, this paper uses a regression discontinuity design to estimate the impact of unionization on business survival, employment, output, productivity, and wages. Essentially, outcomes for employers where unions barely won the election (e.g. by one vote) are compared to those where the unions barely lost. The analysis finds small impacts on all outcomes that we examine; estimates for wages are close to zero. The evidence suggests that at least in recent decades the legal mandate that requires the employer to bargain with a certified union has had little economic impact on employers, because unions have been somewhat unsuccessful at securing significant wage gains.

Entering the Conduct of the Bodhisattvas
Text Section 66
Khenpo Kunpal here applies the second method of analysis that developed at Nālandā to the Bodhisattva-caryāvatāra. As the Bodhisattva-caryāvatāra is not the direct words of the Buddha [bka'] but a treatise [bstan bcos, skr. śāstra] on the Buddha's teachings, Khenpo Kunpal's commentary on it has to follow the 'five types of preliminary assessment' [rtsis 'go yan lag lnga] according to the Nālandā tradition.
When someone composed or taught a treatise at Nālandā on the words of the Buddha, his composition was subjected to five questions:
- Which author composed it (the treatise)?
- Upon which scriptures does it draw?
- Under which category is it classified?
- What is the brief meaning (of the treatise) from beginning to end?
- For whose benefit and for what purpose was it composed?

Travelling through rural Europe on a motorcycle, often camping, it is often very difficult to use high denomination euro notes. I requested a maximum denomination of 50 euro notes in my order -- and received 10 x 100 euro notes in the cash.
Typical of modern industry, possibly too much pressure on staff to allow them to properly read through the added message with the order. Then again it could just be apathy . . .
On the plus side, the delivery was good and the notes were all new.
I will try another company for my next order.

Cars 108 Takes an Exclusive Tour of Discovery Networks [VIDEO]
Join me for a cool behind the scenes look at Discovery Networks!
Join me for a cool behind the scenes look at Discovery Networks!
Lurking below the depths you can find such creatures as a giant squid as large as 50 feet-long. These are rarely seen by humans because of the depth in which they live. This video was filmed more than 3,000 feet deep in the ocean.
When I went back to the Washington D.C. area for my grandmother's funeral last weekend, a good friend of the family invited me to tour his work facility. How do you turn down a chance to go inside the Discovery Networks? Well, you don't! Cory and I had a video editing class together at Fenton High School. Since then, he has gone on to be an editing wizard for the Discovery Channel and its sister networks.
Did you see this last night? It was the season premier of 'Curiosity'. They crashed a International Boeing 727 just to see what happens. Watch the view from a passengers perspective.
It's official the back of the plane is the safest place to be during a crash. These are the dramatic images of a passenger jet being deliberately smashed into the ground as experts try to recreate what happens to an aircraft and all those on board in an air disaster.

This 1969 Velocette Venom Thruxton grabbed top price among the motorcycles at Bonhams Motoring Sale.
Bonhams Motoring Sale in Harrogate
Makes Over £1-Million
An audience of over 1,500 people witnessed a virtual sell-out of the 532 Lots of motor cars, motorcycles and automobilia auctioned by Bonhams in Harrogate yesterday (19 November 2008). Five hundred people registered to bid from around the world resulting in 95% of the Lots finding buyers and a sale total of £1,041,348.
Eighty-three out of 87 motor cars found new owners and top price of the day was £63,100 for a magnificent 1921 Rolls-Royce 45/50hp Silver Ghost Saloon, which had been expected to fetch £40,000-50,000. A 1938 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Sports Limousine, once owned by Lord Beaverbook and the Manchester-based architect Joseph Sunlight, fetched the second highest price – £49,900 – double its high pre-sale estimate.
Top motorcycle price was £13,800 for a 1969 Velocette 499cc Venom Thruxton and the highest price for an item of automobilia was £1,380 for an Austin J40 pedal car, complete with headlamps.

I'm guessing High Point?
.......You use Hoppes #9 as air freshner........
if you have ever bought out two diffrent stores supplies of one caliber so that you could have one decent range session.
Actually, I bought one of the plastic bottles of Hoppe's AutoPistol Bore Cleaners and left it in the back of the car accidently. It had one of those foil seals on the mouth of the bottle. When it got hot in the car the whole thing swelled up until the seal busted and leaked bore cleaner everywhere. My car smelled strongly of bore cleaner for 2 months!
That was rough... I had to drive with the windows down in 90 degree weather.
If the most intelligent conversation you've EVER had involved talking ABOUT A GUN .
Well yeah, I mean what else would it be about?
That poster is just a little Troll looking for attention. Just click the "ignore" button. All will be fine. I started this post almost 4 years ago, I will not let it be runied by that little Troll.
No worries here Buddy
Now where were we? Oh yeah.
If Gaston Glock is on your Christmas card list.
Wouldn't that be if YOU were on Gaston's X-mas card list?
......Gaston calls you at home asking for the specs on that slim line, full size 9mm, .40 &.45 you have always wanted.......
...if gaston asked you on your oppion on his new gun line,
and when you disaproved he didn't make it.
From NYC Drew in Cop Talk:
If you can count yer guns and yuh ammo, you don't quite have enough.
not quite a "You Might Be A Gun Nut If" but close enough!
I've learned one thing reading these posts. YOU ALL HAVE TO MUCH DAMN FREE TIME. GET OFF the couches sell you firearms so you can make rent, then talk about something non-gun related. If you can.
runied: ha ha ha lololo, it is ruined.
Sell you firearms: ha ha ha lololo, Sell your firearms
As said before, this is the wrong place to post your views. Please Troll elsewhere.
If you feel sorry for this guy because he has a little Peepee.
You might be a Gun Nut
If you think the words to a night before christmas are as follows.
On Styer on Glock on Browning and Ruger, On Colt on Sig on Smith and Wesson.
If you have ever pictured Santas elves reloading ammo. (If you didn't before I bet you just did)
If your childs second word was "GUN" (first word was daddy)
Boy! was Mommy pissed
Those have got to be some of the best for a while here!!!
And yes, I can now picture the elves working reloaders (generic ones to avoid flame wars-Santa can have whatever he wants)-thanks for the humorous mental image..."Hurry my little elves, the national IDPA match is only a week away"
What lame asses call it a "peepee" the last time I heard that word I was 3.

Around this time of year, we appreciate that other people are planning outrageous lies or outlandish pranks for April 1.
We, however, will not inform you that a piranha is swimming in the lane next to you if no such creature is anywhere close. Nor will we sneak embarrassing items into your gym bag when you're not looking. So as you read the following about workout books, keep in mind that we are all about truth, righteousness and the fit-America way. No fooling.
The first tells how to lose weight by cleaning house. The second? That fat is fine. Both offer suggestions that just about anyone who's ever struggled with a fitness plan can take to heart.
The cLEAN Momma Workout
Carolyn Barnes (William Morrow, $16.99)
To use author Carolyn Barnes' phrase, a sick child served as her proverbial light bulb.
"I was totally overwhelmed and in chaos," says Barnes, a former "ballerina bun-head" (her phrase) and current Pilates instructor who lives in California. "I had a 3-year-old who was calling 'Mommy Mommy Mommy' and a son who was nursing. I couldn't carve out time for myself, and I'd look around the house and it was chaos."
Then — let there be light! — her son "upchucked in the kitchen."
"I was cleaning it up while holding him," she said by phone from California. "I put him in the swing, did the 'rag drag' and it all morphed into an amazing cardio workout I started to do while my kids were in the bathtub and I was hanging out there anyway."
She began scrubbing sinks with a vengeance and floors with fervor. What began as housework became the "cupboard calf-raise," "the vacuum lunge," "the laundry leg-lift."
"I've taken the concept of dance, of muscle isolation and applied it to times I was cleaning the countertops, which we do as mommies a million times a day," says Barnes, 41. "I'd wipe them down, engage my core, use a good dancer's posture. I noticed my body going back into dancer body mode. I felt my strength come back. My ab work and core were so tight so fast, much more so than when I'd had my daughter. My core went — woo!"
After four or five months of heavy-duty housework and being more mindful of her eating habits, she'd lost 60 pounds. She was as toned, she says, as she'd been during her dancing days.
"This is excuse-proof! No excuses, people," Barnes says. "When they're doing these things and understand the position of their bodies, their shoulders, they're going to start carrying themselves differently. Self-esteem goes up. It's like putting on high heels."
She encourages constant movement throughout the day and thus, keeping metabolism humming. Going to Target? Do squats in the guise of looking at prices on the lowest shelf. Or take a container of apple juice and (looking behind you first) use it to do arm kickbacks.
"If you're on the phone, do you really know I'm doing my leg lifts?" she asks, adding she's doing squats while we're talking. "Or if you're texting, does anybody know you're in squat position?
"It's a mind-set. Clean out your body, your mind, your soul, your house," she says.
The Unapologetic Fat Girl's Guide to Exercise And Other Incendiary Acts
Hanne Blank, (Ten Speed Press; $14.99)
Hanne Blank began exercising to combat side effects from medication she was taking for a syndrome that affected her body's use of insulin.
"I'm trained as a historian on medical and sexual history," she says by phone from Atlanta. "I was slugging my way through insulin research and what works to improve insulin resistance. What has the best track record is regular, moderate-intensity, sustained exercise. I thought, 'Well, it can't hurt. It might help.'"
It did help. Six years later, she doesn't take medication for her syndrome. She exercises every day, sometimes twice a day. And she is, she says as comfortably as she would say she has brown hair, fat.
"I get the question a lot, 'How come you haven't lost weight?' Well, because I don't," Blank says. "There are a lot of people who get a lot of movement in their lives and who are still fat because that's how their bodies are. There's this feeling that the default state for human beings is slender, but there's no proof that's true."
As a medical historian, she says, she's learned that health and visible muscle weren't always sought after. People who were muscular used to be those who had to do heavy labor. Then as low-paying jobs became more sedentary — factory work, for instance — wealthier people began working out, showing they had time to train their bodies.
"Being ripped is a fairly new idea," says Blank, who started several exercise programs through the years, thinking she'd lose weight.
"I had to stop thinking this was going to make my body look different," she says. "Once you let go of that expectation, you get all this other fun stuff, which is a lot more enjoyable and rewarding than standing there after sweating 45 minutes on an elliptical trainer hoping your weight is a half-point less. It's horrible and punitive."
She's all about the fun in working out.
"The freedom to play freely in the world, to move through the world, is a birthright," she says. "No one should take that away from you, no matter what your size or what you look like.
"It's not about fat or thin. It's about strong, and do you have the muscle," she says.

A perfect April 1 mix: Beer and yoga
A beer-tasting yoga event may sound like an April Fools' joke, but it really is taking place on April 1. The Special Yoga & Beer Happy Hour Class takes place from 5:45 to 6:55 p.m. at the We Yogis studio, 5600 W. Lovers Lane, Dallas. Cost of the class, which you must attend before imbibing, is $18. Registration required: weyogis.com.
Tips from the cLEAN Momma
Master the countertop push-up. Arms tone quickly, and often that's the quick-start needed to — oh, go mop the floor with added vigor or something.
"You're going in and out, back and forth, to and from the kitchen," she says. "Do 10 push-ups each time. It's overwhelming to say, 'Do 200 push-ups.' But doing 10 at a time adds up."
Do the rag drag. Put two damp rags under each foot. Get into plié position so your core is fully engaged. Bring your right foot in and out five to seven times, creating resistance. Switch feet. "Instead of being on your hands and knees and picking at gunk with a fork because you're irritated and annoyed, you're like, 'C'mon! Spill some more!'" she says.
Make the most of desk time. Every time you check email or go on Facebook, do this: Sitting straight with shoulders down, put your hands on your desk. Push down on the surface, raising your knees up and down, your abs tight. Don't touch the floor. Repeat 10 to 15 times.
Tips from the unapologetic fat girl
Drop the negative thoughts. Nix those that say "You shouldn't enjoy sex or food or being in the world or going to the beach," Blank says. "Yeah you can do and enjoy all the physical things you want and run with that ball in ways I think are really gorgeous." She knows fat women who rock climb, practice yoga and participate in all sorts of activities.
Set a goal of 100 days. Pick an activity and do it every other day for 100 days, she says. "If you want to decide to walk to the mailbox and mail a postcard for 100 days, that's great. If you get to 100 days and don't want to see another postcard, that's OK. But you're in the habit of doing something. You've set an achievable goal."
Skip the gym where you don't feel comfortable. If trainers stress weight loss when you just want to be more flexible and strong, it's probably not the place for you.

ABOUT 1,000 runners of all ages will be on the starting line for an annual fundraising run.
Runners will stride around the grounds of the picturesque Lambton Estate, near Chester-le-Street, on Sunday for the Lambton 10k run and 3k fun run.
Both runs will raise money for the Foundation of Light, the charitable arm of Sunderland AFC.
Loading article content
First out of the blocks at 10am will be 700 experienced runners taking part in the 10k around the estate, which provided the backdrop for the BBC period drama The Paradise.
They will be followed five minutes later by 300 people taking part in the family-friendly 3k event, many of them in animal-themed fancy dress, with prizes on offer for the best costume.
Jemma Garrett, events coordinator at the Foundation of Light, said: "The Lambton 10k and 3k is one of our most popular fundraising events and it's not hard to see why.
"The grounds of the Lambton Estate are extremely beautiful and provide the perfect backdrop to this fun-filled event.
"I hope that everyone really gets into the spirit of the day, particularly the 3k runners, who are being asked to wear creative, animal-themed fancy dress and I look forward to seeing a mix of mini zebras, lions and more making their way around the track."
Both runs are sponsored by Cestria Community Housing, Lambton Estate and Start Fitness and supported by Sir Tom Cowie Charitable Trust.
Places are still available, priced from £6 per person for the 3k and £12 per person for the 10k, from firstname.lastname@example.com or 0191-551-5191.

LOS ANGELES - Ashley Kupets made it look easy.
She hopped up on the balance beam during Wednesday's practice session at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, and completed her routine without the slightest hint of a wobble. Nearby, teammate and fellow freshman Kelsey Ericksen applauded with approval.
Coach Suzanne Yoculan likes what she's seen as well.
"Both of those girls have just been unbelievable, coming through under pressure in big meets," Yoculan said. "Over, and over and over, they've come through and hit their routines. Always hitting, always solid."
Notebook: Rowe, Smith scheduled to return in time
NCAA Women's Gymnastics capsules
Now, they've got to do it again.
When the NCAA gymnastics championships begin today, how well Ericksen and Kupets execute their routines will be crucial to whether or not the Gym Dogs survive this afternoon's qualifier and advance to Friday night's Super Six.
The reasons are quite simple.Georgia's injury situation has been well documented, and it remains unclear how much the Gym Dogs' most recent walking wounded - Kinsey Rowe and Brittany Smith - will be able to compete in the team competition.
Not only are Rowe and Smith two of Georgia's top beam workers, but Smith has provided perfect scores on both the floor and the vault. The Gym Dogs are already without Jamie Ackerman and Brittany Thome.
But even if health wasn't an issue, to win a national championship, you have to have all six girls hitting and scoring. Otherwise, the slightest wobble or misstep can cost a team a championship.
For Georgia, the Gym Dogs' quest begins with today's session, which begins at 4 p.m.
Other afternoon competitors include SEC rival Florida, Stanford, Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
Host UCLA, Alabama, Utah, LSU, Arizona State and Michigan compete in the evening session. The top three teams from the two sessions will compete for the national championship at 10 p.m. Friday.
Kupets said the Gym Dogs (23-3) are ready.
"We can't wait to get out here," she said. "I feel confident, I know Kelsey is too, but so is the whole team. I really believe this is something we can win."
Both Kupets and Ericksen have reason to be confident.
Ericksen is a walk-on who turned down numerous scholarship offers to compete for Georgia. She was selected as the SEC Freshman of the Year after a season in which she posted five all-around scores of 39.500, including a season-high 39.65 against Kentucky.
Ericksen also ended the regular season tied with Utah's Rachel Tidd as the nation's top-ranked freshman on bars.
"It's been an exciting first year for me," Ericksen said. "When the season began, I thought I'd just be competing on the bars, because that's what I was recruited for. I didn't expect to be all all-arounder, especially this far into the season."
Kupets' freshman seasons featured some initial struggles.
She initially had a hard time reigning in her power and was plagued by extra hops and steps on the floor and the vault.
For example, Kupets earned only one 9.9 or higher through the season's first seven weeks. But after a season-high 9.95 on the vault against LSU, Kupets has scored 9.9 or higher three times.
"At first, I didn't know what I'd be able to do," Kupets said. Just being able to compete, and compete in every meet has just been thrilling for me. I can't even explain it. It's awesome that they (Georgia coaches) have confidence in me, to throw me in there."
Yoculan has already done that. When Rowe tore her right ACL during the vault at SECs, Kupets was choosen to take her spot on the beam and the floor.
"When you're told to go in, you don't have time to worry about it, and I think that really helped me," said Kupets, who scored a 9.85 on the beam and a 9.8 on the floor. "You've just got to go out there and do it."
Yoculan expects today to be no exception.
"We're scrappers, we're fighters, we never quit. When it comes down to it, these guys will fight to the very end," she said. "Our seniors have shown that to the freshmen like Kelsey and Ashley, and they've exhibited those characteristics already. I have total confidence that they'll perform well."

Former President Bill Clinton and other world leaders attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday called for Western nations to boost donations to help African nations fight AIDS. Clinton says the Bush administration gives far too little to fight AIDS and poverty in developing nations, especially when compared with the $80 billion in additional funds Bush recently requested for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He says the U.S. should at a minimum double its aid to Africa. "We ought to start with AIDS and infrastructure, with getting the medicine," Clinton said. "You want to go save four million lives? Give them medicine. It's not rocket science, and it's so cheap compared to everything else all these rich countries do."
U.K. prime minister Tony Blair and French president Jacques Chirac called on governments and businesses to form partnerships to focus on poverty and AIDS relief in poor nations. Blair said he will use his leadership of the Group of Eight industrialized nations and the United Kingdom's upcoming European Union presidency to push for more aid to fight AIDS and poverty in Africa. "If what was happening in Africa happened in any other part of the world, there would be such a scandal and clamor," he told The New York Times.

NEW YORK — The Federal Aviation Administration has rejected a request by two Brazilian congressmen to revoke the licenses of two American pilots involved in a 2006 plane crash in Brazil.
In a letter dated April 27, the FAA said there was insufficient evidence to take action against pilots Joseph Lepore of Bay Shore, N.Y., and Jan Paladino of Westhampton Beach, N.Y.
"I am deeply unhappy and surprised with the negative response given by the Federal Aviation Administration,'' Congressman Milton Monti said in a statement yesterday. "The information we delivered to the American authorities had irrefutable proof of the negligence and incompetence of the American pilots.''
And Dante D'Aquino, attorney for the Association of Relatives of Victims of Gol 1907, complained to Brazil's O Globo newspaper on Wednesday that the FAA gave no explanation for its decision.
"The negative answer, cut and dried, as it was given, is an affront to Brazilians and to the victims' families,'' he said, adding that he would take the case to the Interamerican Court of Justice.
A lawyer for the two pilots said the FAA acted appropriately.
"The request to pull the pilots' licenses was an utterly partisan and inappropriate request,'' Weiss said.
Weiss added, "The bottom line is this accident was only caused by one thing: Brazilian air traffic controllers put two competent flight crews on a collision course. The trial evidence is going to bear that out.''
