Watching events out of Pakistan, I've grudgingly come to the conclusion that before Barack Obama's first term is over, we will probably have American troops fighting on the ground in Pakistan in significant numbers. I'm putting together a piece, probably for Sunday, explaining why.
Just to be clear, I'm not advocating such a step and I do hope I'm proven wrong. But it seems to be where we are inexorably headed, given the apparent inability of Pakistan's government to defend itself and its possession of nuclear weapons. That is a far more dangerous challenge than that posed by Iran, for example.

Oh yeah, let's square off against a 33,000,000 man army, there you go.

WOHA…..didn't your boy promise to bring all the troops home? Oh wait…he is leaving 50,000 in Iraq and he has sent a total of 14,000 and now 7,000 to Afganistan. What happened…..DID HE LIE TO YOU?

This again points out one of the tragedies of our misadventure in Iraq. We've spent billions and billions there, that should have been spent actually fighting terrorists, rather than pursuing pipe dreams in Iraq.

The Bush Administration dropped the ball badly in Pakistan from day one. They absolutely refused to get tough with Musharaf long after it became obvious that he was not only allowing terrorist to inhabit his country, but was doing absolutely nothing to control rogue elements within his own military and intelligence services that were directly supporting them.. Bush/Cheney were more concerned with playing kissy face with Musharaf when they should have been stomping on him with both feet. Pakistan has been ground zero in the war on terror from day one. 4000+ dead in Iraq while Osama and the boys were living it up in Pakistan. Bush/Cheney tough on terror? LMAO! How many of these incompetent's messes will the new administration have to clean up. Bush/Cheney will go down in history as the gang that couldn't shoot straight on anything.

Wrong as usual, wingnuts. Obama promised to end the war in Iraq, which he's doing. "Bring them home" is a vastly oversimplified, not to say simpleminded, misstatement of what he actually promised… and is now delivering.
Waiting now for the inevitable Corporal-style comment of "Whoa! Obama's fighting terrorism! Betcha all those kooky appeasing liberals are ticked off at their savior now, since they never wanted to fight terrorism…."
It's just so easy to skewer right-wing ignorance when they never bother to arm themselves with any facts in the first place.

Whiner: Jay's not saying we're going to be attacking Pakistan, but fighting there. BIG difference.
I think it'll be a fool's errand; better to go in and destroy their nuclear capabilities before wasting time trying to tame the untamed frontier. Leave that for the locals to fight out, but let's keep the danger level down for the rest of the world.

Can you be more specific on what you mean when you say that Bush "should have been stomping on Musharraf with both feet" and tell us if you have similar complaints about Obama not "stomping on Soomro" with both feet?

I find it ironic that the rightwingnuts complained during election season that Obama would create a disaster in Iraq by shutting everything down quickly and leaving. Now that he's winding things down as he said he would — over 16 or so months — they're complaining because he's not leaving fast enough.
Do wingnuts really do irony or just fall into it by mistake?
March 31st, 2009

What happened to "all the world will love us" when Obama takes charge? You mean the same people who hated us and bombed us repeatedly during the Clinton administration still hate us even though Obama's in office now? Gee, maybe if you have a shred of honest in you, you'll realize Bush might not have been the cause of this hatred after all, hmmm?
I told you kookaid drinkers the troops wouldn't be home a day sooner under Obama than if McCain had won and I was right. You've been had tools.

The Pakistanis already have nukes. Just pray they have the sense not to use them, although the disputed borderlands with India have cause great grief there already. Toss in an Obamaraid over the border, and hold your ears.

Didn't you right wingers say that Obama didn't have the gumption to fight terrorism. Now that Jay (not Obama) mention going to war you decry why we shouldn't. We went to war with Iraq ASSUMING he had nuclear weapons and the BIG difference here is we know for a fact they they are there. The you dumb ape nuts, what do you propse he do? Wait until they fall in the wrongs then go in? Many of you have no clue and just parrot what your talking heads tell you to parrot.

Well, we cannot let India get pulled into this mess. It would put companies like Dish Network out of business. It would devastate our back office, message center, and help desk economy.

Well, some of us are smart enough to understand capitalization rules, singular/plural consistency, proper punctuation and other basic grammar
I like how you start your post with name-calling and end it complaining about name-calling. Do you find name calling acceptable? If so, why do complain about it? If not, why do you do it?

Mike, I agree he is not and I do not agree with everything he is doing. However we have serious situation in which the majority of your conterparts assume will go away if he takes no action. He is damned if he does and damned if he don't. Many of the poeple who write in these blogs would rather see Sarah Plain in office but yet can't tell you anything she did before being annouced as the running mate of John McCain.

What if all these nations had their own arsenal of A-bombs and H-bombs and Neutron bombs and all sorts of different missiles and planes with which to deliver them. Then what. I'm sure our 'Intelligence' Agencies have thought through many scenarios. I wonder what the outcomes of their scenarios are. Would a few bombs be enough to get people to stop. Would there be some fanatics out there that would keep on bombing until they just plain ran out of bombs. Would the planet be destroyed. What. Or, is all this just something to pass the time and keep us all pre-occupied.

I wholeheartedly support President Obama's policy. While I revere Pakistan's sovereignty as a nation, its feet must be held to the fire to ensure that it does not fund, support, or harbor terrorists on its soil and does everything in its power to eradicate these public enemies.
This is something George Hoover Bush should have done instead of going into Iraq.
And I absolutely love to hear President Obama say "Pakistan".

Taxpayer we can not for any reason let our guards done because that would be a mass suicide. We ave to let them know we are watching and mean business. With the whole world watching and waiting to follow our lead we have to be ready for anything. Obama may have promised to bring our troops home however the world may need them more. I hate wars as much as anyone after serving in Desert Storm and Freedom, however if they feel we will bend they will push until we can bend no more.

You don't seem to understand Jay's post. Obama has made no public decision to deploy troops into Afghanistan, despite your clear desire for that action.
The current Obama policy is just a small escalation of Bush's policy. Of course, if you can explain otherwise, I'd love to hear it.
March 31st, 2009

The problem is that we are doing nothing but delaying the inevitable. We are not changing the eventual fact that more and more countries are getting a nuclear arsenal. So, the obvious questions to ask are the 'What next' questions. It's coming and no one is going to stop it.

Our efforts to eradicate Al Queda may be greatly enhanced but aside from maybe a commando raid on occassion I do not think we will have troops on the ground there. That will only happen if Al Queda takes over the Gov't.

I know this might be a dumb question/statement, but I don't care –
I've always considered it strange that we seem to be the only country in the world that deems it necessary to commit thousands of troops and a bajillion dollars to fight this War on Terruh.
We are not the only country in the world to be the victim of a horrible terrorist attack.
Why is that?

Taxpayer you convict them and not the rich executives that send the business to them. What are they supposed to say? No keep your jobs for your American workers. your bigotry is misguided. tell me do you put those Levis back on the shelf and only buy American made items? You talk about people who wants the very things we take for granted and do not spew you ignorant bigotry on the rich who get richer. Ignorance at it's best, keep the minions mad at each other and we get richer.

As Jay says, hopefully it won't come to that. All you can really do is go with the best plan you can, given the information that you have at the time. Most battle plans go out the window when the shooting starts because the enemy often doesn't act as was anticipated. We just have to hope and pray our leaders make the right decisions.
March 31st, 2009

I am smart but I'm sure that other less smart persons can figure out where the jobs have gone by doing simple things such as look around, read, listen, ask questions. Then again, some people just cannot handle such tasks so they call other bloggers names such as 'bigot' just to try and hide from their own inadequacies. Well, it doesn't work for them. Never has.

I served in the Army for 10 years and one thing I have heard no matter who was in charge we are the world police force. In essence we patrol every country spending money and so call helping that country out. Bosch posed a very valid question as to why we do it. Many of these countries after we rebuild them turn their backs on us and blames us for their woes. Bosch, not to discredit your question, i think a better question would be, If not us then who will do. To me I try to understand it as the prevention is less expensive than the cure.

Gregg@ 2:02,
I agree with you – to add to your analogy of prevention is less expensive than the cure – can't you exercise yourself to death? Or get hooked on pain pills? Or go on a crash diet and which actually starves yourself to death (I know a woman who got that stomach by-pass surgery – lost 150 lbs. – and then died).
If not us who then? Well, that's the frustrating part – but back to the analogy – have you ever been close to a mentally ill person or a drug addict? You help and help and help, and they keep taking and taking and taking (or in some cases rob you blind) and eventually you have to just say, "enough!" And it sucks and there may be some backlash, but you just have to for your own sanity.
Not trying to be cheeky or anything because I think your 2:02 is right on.
March 31st, 2009
2:17 pm
Well Jay you have taken on a difficult task. But having watch/read your work for what seems like 20 years, I know you are up to it.
A little reversing of ideals here; a revision of prospective there; then restructure a principle or two; add a couple of redefinitions; and the next thing you know: We are justified, in fact, required to invade Pakistan.
With proper commitment of effort no doubt you can have it ready Sunday.
March 31st, 2009
2:17 pm
Sometimes, I throw out stuff that can be interpreted in several ways. For example:
Taxpayer March 31st, 2009 1:47 pm We also need to try and keep the folks in Pakistan happy. If they get too upset and don't concentrate on their work, we could end up with three-legged Levis and upside-down zippers and all sorts of just plain weird stuff.
At first glance, I'm sure that sounds like a cheap jab at cheap labor in Pakistan and that is certainly one way to read it. The more subtle way to read it is to think about what kind of clothing might be needed for the next generation of irradiated humans such as those with extra appendages and other deformations. Granted, the earlier post about India had a different subtle message that had nothing to do with nuclear bombs and some other messages have but one meaning. I'm diverse that way. Anyway, there are no rules from Jay that says I can't write such things so lighten up out there — or not.

2:28 pm
This is getting repetitious. I hope you are wrong. But once again, I fear you may be correct.
Nice point about India. I rather suspect many here are not aware India and Pakistan have nearly gone nuclear on a couple of occasions.
[[While I revere Pakistan's sovereignty as a nation, its feet must be held to the fire to ensure that it does not fund, support, or harbor terrorists on its soil and does everything in its power to eradicate these public enemies.]]
Ummm, do you think America should hold other countries to the same standard and take the same action against them if they don't comply?
[[This is something George Hoover Bush should have done instead of going into Iraq.]]
What is this 'something'? Pres Bush (still haven't read Pres Obama's memo about a new tone and no more namecalling?) conducted missile strikes and special forces ops in Pakistan. The great Senator Barbara Boxer, Democrat of California, even revealed classified information in a public forum concerning our presence (a Predator base) in Pakistan. So what is the 'something' Pres Bush should have done? Invade with regular ground forces, as Jay's column postulates?
Taxpayer 1:51
[[The problem is that we are doing nothing but delaying the inevitable. We are not changing the eventual fact that more and more countries are getting a nuclear arsenal. So, the obvious questions to ask are the 'What next' questions. It's coming and no one is going to stop it.]]
I was rather hoping someone would bring this up. N Korea has developed nukes. Now they're getting ready to begin long-range missile testing. The Obama Administration has said this poses a threat to the US and Japan as the missile could be used to deliver a nuke and has made noises about shooting down the missile.
You are aware that 'shooting down the missile' constitutes an act that falls within the scope of a preventive war? (Jay's already pointed out a preventive war is one waged to prevent a potential adversary from ever attacking, while a preemptive war is waged when we have clear evidence we're about to be attacked and we want to get the first strike).
I've been waiting for this to come up because it's been in the news for days and days, yet I've not heard one Obama supporter take issue with a preventive war, or act of war, against N Korea.
I realize, based on what you said yesterday, that since this is something that may happen in the future and hasn't yet happened that you won't comment on it.
But if anyone else wants to, I'm quite interested.

Hi ya' Paul!
Yes, Paul, some of us do know that India and Pakistan aren't BFFs, and have come to blows on many occassions. Didn't Pakistan FINALLY admit those terrorists who killed those folks in Mumbai were trained in Pakistan?
"yet I've not heard one Obama supporter take issue with a preventive war, or act of war, against N Korea"
And…….what's the point? Maybe that's because some of us do not think you can march around the world and take out all the "what ifs" in the world.
"Because other countries know we will and other countries (Russia, Spain) make waaay too much money dealing with enabling countries"
Uh, yeah, so why don't we deal with those situations too?
Did you read Jay's column about Israel the other day when he talked about how long Israel can sustain it's policies – another 50 years, yeah, but 100? 200?
We need to start revisiting some of that same thinking.

You leftists might wanna duck, 'cause I'm about to hurl a shoe at you. From one of your favorite links during "Bush's War":
President Barack Obama is making the Afghan War Obama's Afghan War. Careful analysis of UN mortality statistics reveals that 46,000 Afghans have died avoidably in the first 40 days of the Obama presidency, including 32,250 infant deaths due to US war crimes..
Who is the worse terrorist, Obama or Osama? Obama already wins hands down as the worse terrorist by an enormous margin. With Obama backing continuing foreign occupations of Haiti, Somalia, Diego Garcia, Palestine, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, extending US bombing of Pakistan and now permitting US or Israeli bombing of Sudan, Obama is set to take over the mantle from George W. Bush for being the World's worst terrorist.
All together now?

March 31st, 2009
2:47 pm
Hey there!
Yes, I believe the Pakistanis did admit that. 'Course, when faced with intercepts it's kinda hard to deny it. And I think India handled their responses with an admirable level of restraint and diplomacy.
The point, if I wasn't obvious enough, is that the Obama Administration has publicly floated the idea of a preventive strike against N Korea in order to prevent them from developing a long-range missile in order to prevent them, at some future date, from attacking us or our allies.
I think it's called 'waging a preventive war.' Something that was considered very, very naughty when Bush was in power.
I think we do try to deal with those situations. Through the UN, mostly. But we remember that after we invaded Iraq we found France and Germany were making gazillions selling Saddam weapons and violating food for peace. And we know Russia doesn't see Iran as a threat but as a really big piggy bank.
That was a sobering article about Israel. It may broaden some thinking if people considered us in Israel's position with such an outlook – what would we do?
Thanks for the Chuck heads up last night. A lot.

Obama didn't lie. Unlike Bush, Obama has the intelligence to make decisions as he goes. Bush would make decisions and stick with them no matter what the consequences. Bush couldn't change his mind, because he could not force himself to admit that maybe he was wrong about something.

The predicament Obama will find himself in at the G20 Summit.
To President Obama, this meeting offers an ideal setting, well removed from the White House, and he could not have bargained for a better forum to project himself as the leader of the free world.
But, if Mr Obama pushes too much for more spending by governments, he could face a backlash back home where there are already murmurs over tax money being used to pay massive bonuses to the same company executives that caused this crisis.
In my opinion, he's left with no options other than those that will reflect badly on him.
'Ya wanna see where we're headed? You have only to look at Obama's cousin, Prime Minister of Kenya — one Raila Odinga.
One might also presume that as Mr Odinga works towards securing his role as undisputed numero uno, his prospects will be irredeemably harmed if his co-leadership leads to ruin and destruction and there is no country left to lead.
Both men are fast running out of time to get the coalition government back on track. It's time to stop being so defensive and accept the harsh realities.

Are you really saying the massive change in US counterinsurgency practice in Iraq in 2007 was same old, same old? Are you really saying his statements about jettisoning views he'd held for years in order to pass TARP is an example of static thinking and action?

Your comments about shooting down a missile and calling that "preventive" is a good example of why I do not care to use words such as preemptive and preventive without first defining the scenario more completely. For example, I have no problem with taking down a missile once it leaves the air space of the country that launched it since such a launch could be considered as an act of aggression. That is not preemption or prevention — it is defensive. Of course, if they had announced intentions to launch a satellite, then that would be a different scenario.

You're welcome about the Chuck thing – she was pretty evil – she was messin' with Sarah, and that's not good.
Good post – yes, it is a quondrum about all this pre-emptive stuff and yes, countries do make good $$$ dealing with these "rogues." But to them, are they "rogues?" Do they care? Couldn't we make an argument that many business deals come with some pretty rogue elements. And isn't the word "rogue" kind of James Bondish?
But that puts me back to my first question (and hell, I'll throw in Israel too). Why are we (and Israel) the only ones who use that pre-emptive thinking. It really doesn't stop anything – and in many cases back fires in our face (with our image and stuff around the world).
Another question I've always had was why do some countries get to have nukes and some don't – it just doesn't seem fair and all. I know that again, is pretty elementary, sophomoric, and simple, but hey, it's something I've never really gotten a good answer to.

Pay for Play? Tax Credits for Paid Time Off
Monday 30 March 2009
by: Dean Baker
"Not all employers will opt to take advantage of this tax credit, since it will require some restructuring of work arrangements. However, many employers will see it as an opportunity to provide valuable benefits to workers at little or no cost to themselves. If a substantial number of employers opt to take advantage of this tax credit, then the impact on employment could be dramatic."
Aren't we always trying to boost the competitive edge for small, growing companies? This would help.

One answer to you question about some folks not being allowed to have nukes is that if they did then some countries would have to actually listen to what other countries have to say. I think that scares the crap out of some people.
March 31st, 2009

Paul: reason I ask about shooting the missle down is that I seriously doubt that NK has the wherewithall to invade anyone unless they steal everything they can along the way. They have trouble feeding people there, let alone having working equipment or spare parts for a full-scale invasion of South Korea. So if we shoot down the missle, is that really "war" or just target practice? War implies that the other side fights back.
China won't be happy, just because they will have to deal with all the refugees again. So they'll cut off funding for NK in a heartbeat if NK gets out of hand.
As for how this relates to Pakistan, my guess is that we'll be invited to join a civil war in order to help secure Pakistan and prevent the war from getting wider, and not initiate the war. I think we should just offer safe haven for the nukes in exchange for tactical and equipment support.
But that's a guess and things could change between now and then. Your mileage may vary from the way the EPA measures miles per gallon.

N Korea has said the launch is for satellite capability.
I don't want this to sound snarky, but a full-up test of a long range missile requires… long range. N Korea's about the size of Mississippi, so if they want to test a long-range missile it will necessarily leave its borders.
Look at it this way: if it was us developing a new area denial weapon (say, the neutron bomb back in the 80s) and we launched it from a S Pacific atoll and a Russian naval system shot it down because they thought deploying such a weapon would give us a strategic advantage in a European war, would we consider Russia's action… justifiable?
[[I have no problem with taking down a missile once it leaves the air space of the country that launched it since such a launch could be considered as an act of aggression.]]
This is important: Preventive and Preemptive Wars are waged because one party fears the other is being aggressive – and a KEY element is the perceived aggressive party has NOT attacked the other party. The party that wages preemptive or preventive war or strikes ALWAYS thinks they are doing it for defensive purposes!
That is the trap of justifying such actions.
K Korea has not attacked up. Any military action we take against them is to prevent them from attacking us at some future point. Period.
Hi Mrs. Godzilla!
How've ya' been?
I thought "rogue" was a Nissan crossover vehicle.
You bring up a good point – countries act in their self interest and see themselves as justified. But there is not always a moral equivalency, even when it appears 'we did it so why can't they."
I'm not quite prepared to say we use preemptive thinking in other than an academic way. But the way the Obama Administration is going, maybe we are… I think Israel's a good case of justifiable preemption – take the 1967 six-day war. It was incontrovertible Arab nations were preparing to attack. If Israel had waited the outcome would have been questionable as the odds were so overwhelmingly stacked (in a material sense) against them. By striking first, destroying Egypt's air force and gaining air superiority and moving against Syria, Israel assured its survival.
Too little time, but in the last century we had plenty of examples of preemptive or preventive war. Look at the Japanese strike on the US naval forces in Pearl Harbor.
The other nuke question – I'd love to discuss – there are some very good reasons, mostly based upon the historical context in which they were developed – but I'm almost (optimist) done with this tax stuff.

Series Preview: Cubs at Los Angeles
Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no. But then again, I'm just about ready to jump ship as the next guy.
Did you think the Cubs' remaining schedule was more cupcake-loaded than Geovany Soto's ass? Well guess again suckers. Now the Cubs head to L.A. to take on the National League-best Dodgers in a four-game series. Oi.
On the positive side, the Dodgers have actually been playing fairly craptacular baseball as of late. They have gone 7-11 in August and only have a 3.5-game lead over the Rockies in the N West. If ever there was a time to play the Dodgers, I guess now good.
The Matchups
August 20th – Tom Gorzelanny vs. Jeff Weaver
Until Tommy GoGo pitches a decent game against a good team, I will never agree he belongs in this rotation. Now he has a chance to convince me otherwise. The Dodgers have been jacking up left-handed pitching with a .289 team batting average and a .813 OPS against southpaws. Good luck Gorz.
Kurt Note
With Zambrano pitching in Peoria this weekend, Lou's going to have to figure out Gorzo's role pretty soon. A tremendous outing from him tonight would go a long way toward creating a cluster-f**k in the rotation. So book it. Done.
The last time Jeff Weaver made it through the fifth inning was June 20 against the Angels. So expect this game to be another short outing. The Dodgers used four bullpen pitchers in their final game against the Cardinals last night, so maybe the Cubs can take advantage of a semi-tired group of relief pitchers.
August 21st – Randy Wells vs. Randy Wolf
When I look at the body of work Wells has put together this season, I see a guy who has won the games he was supposed to win. Wells dominates bad teams like every good pitcher should do. However, against the more talented MLB teams, Wells is only OK. In his 7 starts against quality teams (the Rockies, Cardinals, Braves, White Sox, Twins, Braves again, and Dodgers), he is 2-4 and has given up 20 earned runs in 43 innings. Could be tough night for Wells.
The other Randy threw a gem in his last appearance against the D-Backs in which he went 7.2 innings with 10 strikeouts. Wolf isn't the type of pitcher that gives a hitter nightmares, but he has only allowed more than 3 earned runs once in the last two months. In all of those appearances, he has not pitched less than 6 innings.
August 22nd – Ted Lilly vs. Charlie Haeger
I've already mentioned how the Dodgers have fared against lefties this season, but TRL came off the disabled list looking good. I guess the rehab starts helped (Yes, I'm still mad about the way Lou and Hendry handled Dempster's return). Lilly already faced the Dodgers this year on May 29 at Wrigley. He went 7 innings giving up 1 run on 4 hits.
Haeger has made one appearance this season in which he went 7 innings against the Cardinals giving up 3 runs on five 5 hits (2 of which were homers). Haeger is a knuckleball pitcher and (correct me if I'm wrong here) he will be the first knuckleballer the Cubs face this season. It could be an adventurous night for Milton Bradley and his "keen eye" for the strike zone.
August 23rd – Ryan Dempster vs. Chad Billingsley
The Good: Dempster struck out 10 against the Padres in his last start. The Bad: He gave up 4 runs on 8 hits and took the loss. Opponents are hitting .296 against Dempster since the All-Star Break and his suckiness is becoming more apparent with every start. For those of you that are advocating Lou to move Dempster back to closer, forget about it. There's no doubt Dempster would take on the assignment if asked, but his contract is too big to move him back to the 'pen.
On a staff that doesn't have a clearly defined ace, Chad Billingsley is about as close as it gets. His overall stats look good (12-6, 3.70 ERA), but Chad has had his issues with control ad endurance this season. He has walked four or more batters 10 times and hasn't thrown more than 100 pitches since June 10. If the Cubs can wait him out, then they could have a big night against Billingsley.
The last time the Cubs were this far out of first place was back in July 2007. Think about that for a second. Two Thousand Friggin Seven.
Unlike that situation though, time is running out rather quickly on the 2009 Cubs and it isn't getting any easier this weekend. The Dodgers don't have a particularly strong rotation for a team with 71 wins, but the lineup can be terrifying.
Dodger Stadium is a pitcher-friendly park, but it still isn't as cavernous as Petco, so hopefully Lou can pocket his excuses for the weekend.
This is one of the few times left in this season when the Cubs will actually have to play good baseball in order to win a series. Some signs of life would be welcomed, but I'd settle for a 2-2 split.
Go Cubs.

Unbelievable. This is the word that best represents my experience in 2011. I spent some time this weekend reading through my gratitude journal and reminiscing over all the incredible things that have happened to me this year. I won't bore you with the details; but, all I can say is God has truly blessed me! It has been a year with more ups than downs because I truly took time to learn and embrace the following eleven lessons. Yes, there are some obvious ones; but, those can often time prove to be the most difficult:
1. Things happen for a reason. I have been in some situations that I wanted to work out so badly and I was extremely disappointed when they did not. However, after some time had passed, I realized that these were the best things I never had.
2. The things you fear could be a blessing in disguise. I'm big on making plans. I'm so bad that I even have back up plans for my contingency plans! Some of the things I feared did happen. Guess what? I didn't drown. My world didn't come crashing down. In fact, having my fears manifest themselves demonstrated that I am a lot tougher than what I thought. I am able to handle whatever life throws at me.
3. Control your reaction (I am still struggling with this one…). Let's face it; life is full of people that are clearly a couple fries short of a Happy Meal. Life is too short. I refuse to allow anyone or anything to steal my joy.
4. Stay positive! Regardless of the situation, do not allow your circumstances to dictate your response. Yes, I realize there will be times when this will be easier said than done, but focus on the fact that it can be done. You have to see yourself as a success before it can manifest.
5. Create your own opportunities. If you don't invest in yourself you can't expect others to do so. There are many times in my life where this was my only option. It's not going to be easy, but it's a price worth paying.
6. Get rid of the baggage. One of my favorite quotes is, "You can't take everyone with you on your journey to success." In other words, you must wisely choose those who you wish to accompany you on your journey. One of the best ways to determine who to take on your journey is to spend some time alone. Being by yourself can provide you with the clarity you need to get rid of people who have proven to be distractions. No one said this is going to be easy, but if you continue to allow people who are a waste of space in your life you're not going to have room for those who are supposed to be there.
7. Be flexible. Again, I love to plan; but, life can sometimes get in the way. Some of the best things that have happened to me were complete surprises.
8. Know when to say 'no'. People (mainly, the incomplete Happy Meals) will try to coerce you into doing things that you have no desire to do. It's up to you to acknowledge your limitations. Are there times when this is a good thing? Of course! However, if it is causing you unnecessary stress or serious discomfort, then don't bother. Don't let people coerce or guilt you into doing something that often times they would not do.
9. Be consistent. Anything worth having in life is going to require a commitment.
10. Talk is cheap! Nothing annoys me more than encountering people (think about our incomplete Happy Meals) who go out of their way to say that they aren't trying to do XYZ, but their demeanor proves otherwise. I am an actions speak louder than words kind of girl. The best way to persuade me is to demonstrate that you practice what you preach. If you are everything to everyone than you risk being no one. Even if I don't agree with you, I want to know where you stand because I don't have room for hypocrites on my journey to success.
11. Unplug. We live in a 24/7 society. As a millennial, especially one who works in marketing, I find myself constantly online. If I'm not researching information for work, then I'm often online reading blogs or blogging myself, or chatting with friends. You can only keep up with this schedule for so long before you completely burn out. Therefore, I have been making more of a conscientious effort to truly live in the moment which has proven to be a much more enjoyable alternative to tweeting or updating my status.
Every single lesson that I have discussed has played an integral part in my why 2011 was a good year for me. I plan on continuing my pursuit to master these lessons so 2012 will be even more extraordinary. What lessons have you learned this year? What do you intend to do differently in 2012?

How To Shop For a Sheepskin Rug?
Good Questions
Q: Sheepskin rugs are all over the blogs lately and with winter fast approaching, I think one would be a warm, cozy addition to my decor. However, I'm not sure what to look for in a retailer, and there sure are a lot of them. Are there companies that are more environmentally responsible than others?
Is there an advantage to buying from a US manufacturer versus one from, say, New Zealand? Anything else I should be aware of?

Don't know the website but Black Sheep White Light has Icelandic rugs which adhere to very strict guidelines and are eco-friendly.
The thing to remember about sheepskin (this might be obvious, but bear with me...) is that they are made from sheep. You can look for a company that produces them (Ikea, for example, has cheap small ones, as well as large cow skins, and I don't want to know how those sheep have been treated).
The large and textured sheepskin we have on our chair was a gift from our in-laws: they live in the country, and spoke with the local butcher, who coordinated to get the skin ready (when usually they just use the meat), since apparently not that many people were looking for skins. It's a good way to avoid waste and get something more unique than a this-is-from-Ikea skin.
Before you go the "get-it-yourself" route, there is a big difference in types of wool. I suspect that the finer types that are used for making clothing would not hold up as well in a rug. Use due diligence.
We raise Icelandic sheep for the meat, fleece and hides. Check around your local area for farmers that raise sheep that way you are supporting your farmer and buying local.
There are sheep skins, which still have the skin attached and are sheep shaped, and then there are flokati type rugs, which are made from knotted wood and are standard sizes. Both have that fluffy fur look. Cheaper sheep skins tend to be small and stiff. Cheaper flokatis are not very fluffy.
Both shed like crazy in my experience with clumps of white fuzz under the furniture and stuck to your socks every day, even after 2 years! Both have to be taken to a rug cleaner for professional cleaning (instead of calling in a home rug cleaning service like Stanley Steemer). After a few cleanings the wool looks matted. I'm looking to replace mine with a shag-type rug that is not wool.
^knotted WOOL
You could look at goat skin, if you are worried about durability. My mother picked one up in Greece when she was 19 or 20. It's been kept in a low traffic area of a no pets house but is still nice 40 years later.
We have a flokati, and didn't share your experience. Yes, for 3 months or so, it shed. But afterwards, it settled down, and has been fine (we've had it 9 years -- got it for my daughter's nursery).
As well, I've never taken it to a dry cleaner: I wash it on the wool cycle in our machine. Ditto sheepskins -- I use Euclan on them.
My advice would be to try to find a small, local farmer (like tdusty) or supplier.
Well, in my opinion the term "eco-friendly" and butchered sheep (for skin or meat) doesn't go well together.... I have the smaller fake ones from Ikea. Wouldn't know if they are nice 'cos since I got them and put them on a rocking chair they seem to be perpetually occupied by one of my cats... could it be an indication that maybe fake is ok (and yes I know that I don't know how that fake Ikea one was made either...).
A pro for me of the small fake Ikea one is that you can put them together or apart which is nice for my smaller space...
My sister-in-law has the flokati kind in her dressing room, no cats around but still that place looks like there are cats with all the fluff. It is getting better now but I would not be keen on vacuuming it for fear of it turning "bald"...
If you do decide you need a real one, why not look for second hand, maybe you can save one from being thrown out? Or indeed try to find a "small" supplier if you want new..
I scoured online, but everything was out of my price range. Then I stumbled on my local sheep and wool festival. It only happens once a year, but there was so much seleciton. I got a high quality pelt for a faction of the price. The farmers gave me great advice on how to care for it as well. It's worth waiting for!
Overland Sheepskin: http://www.overland.com/stores/taosnm.aspx
Very high quality. We have had a small "baby rug" for years. No shedding. Very soft. In the past all sheep were raised near Taos, NM. Now I think they offer Australian and Icelandic sheepskin.
I have one from black sheep (white light) and it's gorgeous. Their skins are really large and the hair is really long, so they aren't suitable for putting on a chair or anything like that. I use mine as a rug next to my bed. Over time it does start to look kind of ratty, but that's when it's time to brush it out. They have washing instructions on their site, but I've never done more than shake it and brush it.
The ones at IKEA come from food sheep, as are the cow hides. So, they are something that would have been thrown away otherwise. They are not as uniform (from one to another) as the more expensive ones, but I feel like that makes them more interesting.
I recommend Three Cheers Farm in PA: http://threecheersfarm.wordpress.com/organic-lamb-sheepskins.
They sell delicious organic free range lamb and sheepskins.
Their sheepskins range in price from $75 to $150. The link also has washing directions.
Buy a fake one!
I've always bunged my sheepskin hide rug in the washing machine with wool detergent, let it drip-dry thoroughly in the sun, and then gently 'brushed' it with a comb to get the hair fluffy again. Works fine.
And eco-friendly-wise I'd rather have a local sheepskin than use yet more spun-plastic-derivative faux-fur. If you wear leather shoes, there's no real difference.
I have two white ones from Sheepskinstuff. Great quality New Zealand and Australian sheepskins. Haven't had any issues with shedding and also like that it is a family owned business. When you put them next to the ikea ones, they are not even comparable.
I second the throw your sheepskin rug in the washing machine and drip dry - the one next to my bed has been washed like that 100s of times.
Interested to see this post as I have just bought a rug from these guys - Langley Chase Organic Farm which only rear rare-breed sheep and have won a ton of food awards for their meat. (www.langleychase.co.uk/rugs.htm). Good thing about them is that each rug is individual, can choose the exact one you one you want and they will ship anywhere in the world.
The following article contains lots of useful information in purchasing sheepskin rugs:
European Sheepskins offers several natural color patterns, as well as traditional ivory white. These are eco-friendly premium sheepskins that are made using vegetable tanning methods (no chrome). Ivory White singles are large, over 3.5 foot. Other sizes are available with the dimensions clearly stated. If you're not satisfied, there is a return guarantee with return shipping paid. http://www.europeansheepskins.com

Harris Beach is Intel's compelling Software Development Platform/Vehicle for Haswell in the form of an ultra-thin ultrabook.
Harris Beach has been talked about in the public months back as an Intel reference ultrabook built around their forthcoming
processors. Harris Beach is said to be a 17mm thick ultrabook and that the CPU found within this mobile device will have either a 10 or 15 Watt TDP, complete with high-end graphics capabilities.
Just yesterday the PCI ID for Haswell Harris Beach was added to
the Intel driver
to recognize the lightweight device. Its PCI ID is
In terms of the overall level of Linux support for Intel Haswell,
it's taking shape
and should be in good standing if you're on a new Linux distribution though the support won't be fully polished in release form until H2'2013.

The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
1 Readers' Reviews
January 14th, 20053:37 am
A retropective view of the extreme tenderness of sufferings' deadly kiss, and the subtle shame brought forth through the contrition of immediate family members. With the combined genius of Igmar Bergman's directorial magestic form & Svid Nykvist's cinematography make this 1972 tale of forced compassion a monumental film. Only through Harriet Anderson's stunning performance of a dying woman of an unknown cancer do we see the buried and blossoming fears of her siblings come to fruition. Bergman carries the plot through selfish flashbacks of Liv Ullman & Ingrid Thulin to emancipate the characters lives. One sister deals with a past of adultery & self-pity, while the other is compelled to self vaginal laceration to repel and unwanted husband. Only through a nuturing servant of twelve years we feel a sense of hope and happiness for our grave-stricken patriarch. Similar to Yasujiro Ozu's "Tokyo Story", more love and attention is portrayed through that of a stranger than family. Ambient lighting and deep crimson overtones set the pace as Anderson's character plunges further into downward spiral until her human form can stand it no more.
It's apparent at films end that the suppression of guilt carried by the two sisters is now weighed heavily on Kari Sylwan's shoulders as she is practically shooed and kicked out of existence after servitude to the family.

Peanut-Free/Nut-Free Directory
Our directory is intended as a resource for people with peanut and nut allergies. It contains foods, helpful products, and much more.
A food allergy can occur if your immune system has a strong reaction to the proteins in certain foods and consequently begins producing IgE antibodies.
When these antibodies are released, a whole string of events occurs in the body, leading to a variety of symptoms. Common symptoms of a food allergy include congestion, shortness of breath, skin irritation, hives, nausea and vomiting. The eight most common food allergies include milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, soy, wheat and eggs.
Fatigue can occur as a result of inflammation in the sinus cavities. When you have an allergic reaction, your sinuses may become congested, restricting your ability to breathe properly or discharge mucus. Consequently, you can experience sinus pressure in your face, behind your eyes, in your cheeks as well as in your forehead, ears and teeth. All the built up pressure can make you extremely fatigued. To learn more about sinus problems caused by food allergies, click here.
Tenderness of the muscles can occur due to the increase in production of histamines. When the body has an allergic reaction, histamine is created. Histamine is a substance that protects the body from infection. Excessive levels of histamine produced during an allergic reaction can result in swelling and inflammation of soft tissue. Consequently, muscles in your lungs, stomach and joints can become sore and tender if you consume an allergen.
A fever is typically not a symptom of an allergic reaction and is most likely the result of a secondary infection, such as sinitus. Food allergies can trigger sinus infections, which can cause a fever. If you have a fever, consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

1st base – Carlos Delgado
Carlos Delgado ranks first among Blue Jay hitter is a number of categories including 336 home runs,1036 RBI's and 343 doubles; he also ranks 2nd with 1413 hits. After a slow start he hit 30+ HR every year from 1997 through 2004. He also had six consecutive 100+ RBI seasons, and three others with 90+. His best season was 2000, when he hit .344 with 57 doubles, 41 HR, 115 R, 137 RBI, and a .470 OBP. He is easily the best slugger the Blue Jays have had to date.
Honourable mention: John Olerud, John Mayberry, Willie Upshaw, Fred McGriff
2nd base – Roberto Alomar
Roberto Alomar is the Blue Jays all-time leading hitter with a .307 average. He only played for
Honourable mention: Damaso Garcia, Aaron Hill, Orlando Hudson
Shortstop – Tony Fernandez
Tony Fernandez retired as the Blue Jays all-time leader in games (1,450), at-bats (5,335), hits (1,583), triples (72), second in doubles (291), third in runs (704), total bases (2,198), and average (.297), fourth in walks (439) and stolen bases (172) and fifth in extra-base hits (425). Tony Fernandez also won four straight gold gloves at shortstop (1986-1989). Ironically, his trade to the Padres along with Fred McGriff for Carter and Alomar strengthened the team and made it a World Series contender.
Honourable mention: Alfredo Griffin, Alex Gonzalez
3rd base – Kelly Gruber
I've always felt that the Blue Jays have always been weak at third. For me only two players stood out and for only a limited period. I didn't even consider Scott Rolen who played like an all star – for one half of a season. So I chose Kelly Gruber who was a fine fielder, and had some power, but really only had one outstanding season, 1990, when he hit .274 with 31 HR and 119 RBI. But he also played more games at third than any other Blue Jay, so he is my pick.
Honourable mention: Ed Sprague
Catcher – Pat Borders
Pat Borders was never was an all -star nor a Gold Glove winner but he will always be a hero in Toronto for outshining all of the stars and future Hall of Famers on the Blue Jays and Braves during the 1992 World Series. After having a solid ALCS, he was the World Series MVP in 1992, when he went 9-20 with three doubles and a home run. I know Ernie Whitt had a better track record during the regular season but winning the World Series is what it's all about and Borders was a giant-killer.
Honourable mention: Darren Fletcher, Ernie Whitt
Right field – Joe Carter
Joe Carter is second in team history with 203 home runs and third in RBI's with 736. Carter hit the game winning home run in the bottom of the 9th inning in game 6 of the 1993 World Series to give the Blue Jays the title. I think there have only been two walk off homerun wins in the World Series and Carter has one of them. So he edges out the terrific Jesse Barfield for right field. Carter had seven full seasons in
Honourable mention: Jesse Barfield, Shawn Green
Centre field -
This selection is controversial considering Wells' recent play. But he has already had several all-star seasons, including three Gold Gloves and a Silver Slugger award and the former 5th overall pick in the 1997 draft looked like he was becoming MVP material but has slumped the last few years.
Honourable mention:
Left field – George Bell
In nine seasons with Toronto George Bell ranks second in club history in total bases (2201), runs batted in (740), extra base hits (471); third in home runs with 202 and fourth in hits with 1294. He was voted the American League Most Valuable Player in 1987 when he hit .308 with 47 home runs and 134 RBI's. He also holds the Blue Jays single season home run record with 47.
Honourable mention: Shannon Stewart
DH – Paul Molitor
Paul Molitor left
In the World Series he played DH, 3B and 1B, hit .500 with a 1.571 OPS with 2 homers and was named MVP.
Honourable mention: Dave Winfield, Cliff Johnson
Starting pitcher – Roy Halladay
I only picked one starter as opposed to an entire starting rotation and it was easy. Roy Halladay is already the best pitcher the team has ever had and one of the few actual franchise players.

Trying to Keep My Daughters from Killing Each Other
Kate Meyers: My daughters have a serious love/hate thing going on. I had three brothers, so I don't really understand it -- and at first, it drove me mad.
I mean, seriously: I had two children because I wanted them to have each other. Annie, my oldest, never quite got over her sister Emmy's arrival. During one long-distance phone call, she confided to my mom, "Grandma, I thought they were the 'terrible twos,' but she's four and she's still terrible." (Of course, though Annie is loathe to acknowledge it, her little sister is the first person she wants to console her when friends or parents let her down.)
They are the constant in each other's lives. They have been moving back and forth from their dad's house to mine since the ages of 6 and 9. They are with each other more than they're with either one of us. We, of course, see more of the nasty stuff -- the slapping, hairbrush-throwing cat fights; the "I-can't-believe-you-borrowed-this-without-asking" and "Stay-out-of-my room" screaming. I don't let it get to me anymore. Now, I either say, "I refuse to be a referee" or (if I'm in a humorous mood), "Why don't you two go fight until there's one man standing, and I'll hang out with the winner?" (Of course, they never take me up on that one, but my disengagement sucks the joy right out of their battle.)
Last summer while they were both at sleep-away camp, Annie wrote my best friend (also named Kate) the following: "Dear Aunt Kate, don't tell my mom, but Emmy and I are best friends at camp." This year after camp, Annie's counselor wrote this in her letter to me: "It was so adorable to see Annie and Emmy reunited after Annie's kayak trip. Annie is a great big sister and it melts our hearts to see the two of them together."
Meanwhile, I gird my loins for the daily infighting and try to soothe my soul with the motherly knowledge that as soon as they leave my field of vision, love rules.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - The booking sheet from the Branch County jail Wednesday tells the tale. The roads around the County were less than safe for a while when you consider who was behind the wheel in several instances. A 43-year old Huntington, Indiana woman was arrested for suspected driving under the influence of drugs, possession of marijuana, possession of alcohol in the vehicle and no insurance. Then there's a 27-year old Coldwater man, picked up for operating under the influence and possession of a firearm while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Another Coldwater man, who's 23-year old, didn't have car insurance and was arrested also for drunk driving and a fourth suspected drunk driver, a 25-year old man from Battle Creek, was put behind bars for O-U-I and driving with a suspended license. A quartet of motorists who should know better and four is quite a high number, no pun intended, to be busted on a middle of the week Wednesday in Branch County for driving under the influence. Thankfully, no accidents or injuries happened as a result these drivers and it's another reminder that more often than not, as the law enforcement public safety ads put it…You drink..You Drive…..You're busted….

Chowing Down on Bok Choy! 10 Ways to Love This Asian Green
Ingredient Spotlight
Bok choy was not even on my radar before it started showing up in my first-ever CSA a few years back. At first I was baffled. What was this crunchy bulb-bottomed vegetable with its tender greens? But then me and bok choy? We hit our stride. Oh, boy, did we.
Bok choy has a mild, borderline sweet flavor that makes it a great gateway green for people trying to get more leafy vegetables into their diet. It's great on its own as a simple stir-fried side dish, but it also works well with flavorful sauces, cooked meats, and other vibrant vegetables.
I also love how that creamy white stem stays crisp even after some cooking, while the forest green leaf wilts and becomes silky. I can't get enough of that texture combo, particularly when cooking with smaller heads of "baby" bok choy.
Buy bok choy that looks fresh and vibrant. If the white stems seem soft or rubbery near the root, take a pass on that bunch. Back home, bok choy will keep well for several days in the crisper drawer. Separate the stems and wash away any dirt caught near the base before eating.

Bok choy is one of my go-to veg to keep in the fridge: it keeps for a long time, and can be used to instantly elevate packaged ramen. I do the same thing with Gai Lan a.k.a. Chinese Broccoli, which also has the crisp stem/tender leaf thing going on.
A great quick side dish is to roughly chop some bok choy, sautee briefly with a little oil (optionally), add a dollop of good oyster sauce and a little chopped ginger, a splash of water, then cover until sufficiently wilted.
I recently became transfixed by stuffed cabbage rolls and saw a riff on a Korean BBQ-like filling that was wrapped in bok choy leaves. Looked delicious!
The picture in this post is not Bok Choi. "Bok" means white in Chinese. Bok Choi has white stem and dark green leaves. The vegetable in the picture is 小棠菜.
bok choy in sukiyaki! http://7th-taste.com/2011/04/11/japanese-style-sukiyaki-with-australian-syrah/
Ivan Yeung - this is interesting! My farmer's market sells three different kinds of vegetable all with this shape labelled as bok choy. One is small with light green stems and dark green leaves. One is small with white stems and dark green leaves. The other is larger (about twice the size) with light green stems and dark green leaves. Are they related?
