The kid who played Scott Farkus would go onto to play Christopher Titus's brother Dave in the short lived show Titus, which I thought was a pretty fun show.

Oh, yay for a Wyeth!
He's my favorite painter, Hemingway is my favorite author, and I have a theory that unites the two.
Each got dismissed by the critics. Hemingway because his sentences were simple and direct, Wyeth because you could tell what his painting was just by looking at it.
Each, though, followed the iceberg rule. 90% of it was below the surface. There is always something haunting in the back of a Wyeth painting.
Also, I love the nudes. They're not necessarily sexualized but the human body is the best subject ever.
If you see one in person what looks like photorealism becomes abstract impressionism up close. Wyeth understood the human eye in ways that I can't conceive of. His flesh tones are little dapples of purple, blue, and green in tones that I didn't think contained those colors.

Perhaps if I saw this painting in person, I'd get some of the feeling you mention. For me, it's just there. I don't dislike it, but I don't like it, either.
But then, my taste in art runs towards painters like Mucha, Bougereau and Alma-Tadema, so don't go by me.

There's a picture of my older brother in a cap like that, taken around the time I was born. Apparently, the "Davey Crockett Show" set off a fad for coonskin caps in the 50's.
Unlike most fads, that one was at least practical since those caps look pretty warm.

Christina was a real person and Wyeth did some accurate portraits of her. She was, to put it kindly, not attractive.

I want to pull a sheet over some (but not all) of the women, because the works seem voyeuristic without even a semblance of sexuality.
Insightful comment. The story is that Helga and Wyeth had an unconsummated love. I believe this was according to Andrew's wife Betsy.

Vic, you really should bump up to Windows 7, especially if it's connected to the internet. They end-of-lifed XP for updates and security patches over two years ago. 7 doesn't have the dumb UI stuff from the 10 versions either, it's just a little shinier version of XP that still gets updates.

When I told my husband about it, he started laughing and said, "Spiderman."

Judging from the trailer, the left is going to hate this film with the heat of a thousand suns. Can't wait to see it.

Speaking of the Wyeths, I should probably look up what 'Brandywine' actually means.
I have a guess. (Looking things up is cheating). The Krautish word for brandy is Brandwein. Literally burnt wine, but brandy is a liquor distilled from wine. (I think, I'm kind of sure).
I think Brandywine is an archaic word for brandy, from the Krautish/Anglo mixing of things.

I should have asked my dad while he was still with us. He did work on Wyeth's property. When he came home from completing it he told me that I should tell my teacher. (I don't know, maybe he thought that would make her like me better.)
So I went and told the nun next day and she punished me for lying.

43 Vic, you really should bump up to Windows 7,
especially if it's connected to the internet. They end-of-lifed XP for
updates and security patches over two years ago. 7 doesn't have the dumb
UI stuff from the 10 versions either, it's just a little shinier
version of XP that still gets updates.
Posted by: hogmartin at December 01, 2016 09:54 AM (8nWyX)
The listed system requirement start at Windows 8.1 which, like all Microsnot Upgrades increased the amount of RAM need to run drastically over the previous versions. They list the min system RAM as 2G which means you really need 4 to 6 minimum.
I have 1G on my board and 1G on my video card. So likely it would not run very well. All that besides costing $176 for the program. Hell, for not much more I can get a new computer (cheapo) with Windows 10.
That is what I will have to think about. Either that or running it on my wife's computer.

49 This is the look my three-year-old gave me when he was angry at me and told me he was going to squash me like a bug. I was fighting back the laughter as I sent him to time out on the stairs, because I couldn't figure out where he came up with that.
When I told my husband about it, he started laughing and said, "Spiderman."

Naming of Brandywine Creek, per Wikipedia --
The creek's current name may be from an old Dutch word for brandy or gin, brandewijn, or from the name of an early mill owner, Andreas Brainwende or Brantwyn.
BTW, it is Brandywine Creek, not Brandywine River, throughout it's length. It's a "tell" that someone is not from this area if they refer to it as Brandywine River.

Love his dad NC's illustrations.
I like Andrew's work okay. I grew up in Maine, and he does capture the austere surroundings in a way I can only describe as a haunting-sort of melancholic beauty.
His son Jamie tries a little too hard to be a serious NYC-gallery-type artist. But all talented nonetheless.

Wyeth is technically wonderful, and a lot of his stuff does tell a story, but it is so remote, and in a way so void of depth.
The main emotion I feel from his work is isolation. Not so much solitude, which is expanding without pressures alone, but merely being alone with not being able to expand or enjoy.
Technically wonderful. Almost rustic grandma-moses in feel, but remote.

Dear Mom and Dad,
These two weeks look to be a veritable "child care "experience, People have been told to deal with "us".

And if you're wondering why a three-year-old would have seen a PG-13 movie like Spiderman, I can tell you.
My mother-in-law died earlier that year. We went up for the funeral, and then back two weeks later for our usual summer visit. When we got there, my FIL said he had rented some movies for the kids - Superman (Chris Reeves) and Spiderman (Toby whatshiscan). My kids are all going yay! and I'm thinking uh oh, that Spiderman is PG-13 and my kids are 3 - 11.
So my FIL then says, "you guys can watch them right now, if it's okay with your mom" and all eyes swivel to me. Of course, I'm not going to tell my poor FIL who just lost his wife that the Spiderman movie is inappropriate for them, so I just smiled weakly and nodded.
He obviously never looked at the ratings. And for my sins, I got a sassy three-year-old.

I heard the boy tell his dad that Sally kept saying some bad things. I then listen as the dad look at the little and said ' Sally what are you saying to your brother? '
The little girl gave him a big old smile when she replied ' fuck a duck!'
I saw the father trying to hold back laughing as he scolded his daughter that she should never say such things.

I finally see what's happening here. You're going to expose the Horde to many different styles and methods of art; an education of sorts, a crash course in Art History. And only after they have fully sampled the full gamut of the best (and occasionally, worst) that the world of art has to offer, THEN you lay the full Elmore on them. Only then will they have the knowledge and experience to understand and appreciate just how great an artist he really is.
I have to say, what a fantastic plan. It's genius, really, and a great service to art. ....And humanity.

A horsey friend of mine was housesitting on the property of a Penn's grant descendant. I went in to visit her and saw a meticulously rendered, beautiful small portrait of the family patriarch on the wall.
It had been painted by daddy's good buddy Andy Wyeth. There was a freer, looser aspect to it than his publicly presented works.

That was a serious card because he then called up when they were given time to do that and had to told "No, you can't be bailed out."

I have 1G on my board and 1G on my video card. So likely it would not run very well. All that besides costing $176 for the program. Hell, for not much more I can get a new computer (cheapo) with Windows 10.

I had the same problem (an 800 MHz machine on a motherboard that "maxed out" at 2 GB, graphics card was 500 KB), and ended up buying a 3.5 GHz "Cyberpower" system with a motherboard that will take 32 GB of memory, including a graphics card with 4 GB of memory.
That cost me $600 (a Christmas special last year), but I figure I'm good for another 8-10 years, or until death us do part.
The one thing I'd recommend is to avoid the AMD processor -- every machine I ever installed (before I retired) died early because of the heat generated by that brand processor. I'm running an Intel core i5 (MSI motherboard), and it never gets hotter than about 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
They're quite pricey this year (NewEgg): http://tinyurl.com/htljxd4

To the Members of the Fordham Community,
At this moment when our undocumented students are most vulnerable and afraid, I am writing to you to inform you that I have signed three documents that I hope make it clear that Fordham sees and embraces undocumented students as valued and loved members of our community, that Fordham stands with them, and that we will do all we can to be effective advocates for them. Since my signature signals not only my endorsement, but the endorsement of the entire University community of the sentiments contained in them, I assure you that I did not sign them lightly. Rather, I did so only after a great deal of research and prayer.
Because he was himself an immigrant and the victim of prejudice and discrimination both in Ireland and in the United States, and because he was the bishop of a largely immigrant community that suffered from the same discrimination from which he had suffered, Archbishop Hughes was passionately devoted to America's immigrants. Therefore, when he founded Saint John's College (Fordham University) in 1841, he did so to create a school that would make it possible for the immigrants whom he served to receive an education that would both confound their enemies and enable them to take their rightful place in American society.

When you've lost Noam Chomsky....
The 87-year-old said failed “neoliberal policies of the past generation” had spurred the rise of populism and right-wing movements around the world.
He added: “These programs were designed in such a way so that they would lead to stagnation and even decline for a large part, actually, majority of the population. They also severely undermined democracy, which is even more true in Europe than in the US.

My comments rarely go beyond the "It like it" sort of thing even though I like to go to art museums.

FWIW: There was a story in the dump yesterday about Samford Uni. ('Bama) and a hearing for the YAF club. (Young Americans for Freedom). It seemed a bit off, so I hit up my friend whose son is a freshman there. He emailed the admin. and they set the story straight: YAF is still very much in consideration for being a sanctioned club. There were some hypothetical question posed to the student committee that were misconstrued. The presidents response was pretty heartening. There are small pockets of balanced thought left in the academy.

EXACTLY, so my son here in NJ, with really good grades but so-so ACT scores, will apply to Rutgers as a 'stretch' school. Chances of acceptance
Yet, Rutgers actively recruits illegals to attend the school with in-state tuition, tons of grant money and probably waives the requirement to even take ACTs (or at least allows them to take the English-as-a-second-language alternative)

154 The one thing I'd recommend is to avoid the AMD
processor -- every machine I ever installed (before I retired) died
early because of the heat generated by that brand processor. I'm
running an Intel core i5 (MSI motherboard), and it never gets hotter
than about 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
They're quite pricey this year (NewEgg): http://tinyurl.com/htljxd4
Posted by: jwb7605 at December 01, 2016 10:25 AM (DofIg)
I have never thought AMD was a good processor because they push the margins to hard.
I just put together a cheap Dell configuration for $350 with 8 gig of memory. What is funny is that Walmart has the same configuration for $369 so I am wondering what the difference is. Probably shipping.
It will probably obsolete in 5 years with Microsnot Windows 40.3 which requires 1T of ram and 800T hard drive to hold the massive garbage-ware program that includes the new butt-sniffing brown bag software.
So I will have to think about it. Especially since I need to get these taxes done soon. Probably go ahead and do them on wife's computer.
Anyway, time to fix lunch.

I have never thought AMD was a good processor because they push the margins to hard.
I just put together a cheap Dell configuration for $350 with 8 gig of memory. What is funny is that Walmart has the same configuration for $369 so I am wondering what the difference is. Probably shipping.
It will probably obsolete in 5 years with Microsnot Windows 40.3 which requires 1T of ram and 800T hard drive to hold the massive garbage-ware program that includes the new butt-sniffing brown bag software.
So I will have to think about it. Especially since I need to get these taxes done soon. Probably go ahead and do them on wife's computer.
Anyway, time to fix lunch.

This build has Thunderbird Mail bundled with it. I'm not using it, since this is my "away from home" computer, and I just use my home ISP's Webmail service while away. I can read, and respond to, e-mails, while leaving them on the server. Then, once home again, I can download them all into my home computer, so as to have an uninterrupted record.
I suppose there is a way to "sync" Thunderbird between two different machines, but I have never ventured there. I have copied complete "profiles" over when changing computers, or hard drives, and it is a chore.

The result of this friendship was Christina's World, one of the iconic paintings of the 20th century.

Once these asshat mayors find they have to start cutting departments and services in exchange for keeping illegals - well, it's one thing to grandstand at a rally and another thing to sit in your office in City Hall and contemplate all that sweet moola that is not going to go into the coffers.

Kind of like how the NFL tried to give the Pro-Bowl some extra kick by putting it before the Super-Bowl and making it a draft type of game instead of AFC vs NFC.
Face it, its a crap game with no meaning or impact to the players. And you aren't going to get the same product as what you will for an actual game. That's just how it is.

Also, about a half-hour away is the adjunct museum The Olson House, on the coast near Cushing Maine. It was the home of Christina and is the house pictured in the background of Christina's World. It remains unchanged -- very rustic/primitive.

Now that you say that, OM, it reminds me of the scene from Woody Allen's Radio Days where the kids catch a glimpse of their sexy neighbor lady dancing around her bedroom in her scanties.
I can't link to YouTube from here, but I don't doubt one of the assembled teeming morons here can find the clip.

I just want to alert you that my progressive friends on FB are now extremely worried that Trump is not taking his daily briefings and also taking days off to go to rallies.
I guess they don't know Obama blew off daily briefings and also attends rallies.

>>I hope, I pray you're right.
I've always been fascinated by the left's obsession with Cuba. It has long been their ideological touchstone. They never got tired of pointing out the enormous success of the Castro government in creating a wonderland for the people, healthcare and education for the masses.
It was all a lie, of course, led my the useful idiots in our media. And it's all beginning to crumble.
Cuba is and has been since Castro and Che took over. a prison camp. The idyllic society could only be enforced with bullets and bayonets, prison camps and mass murder. It's all going to fall apart without Castro and the horror of that place will be exposed.
The 60's radicals who led the effort here are in full retreat. Obama was their high watermark and their downfall. Trump's election is far more than a change from Democrat to Republican, it is a rejection of the socialist policies the international left has tried to foist on us for generations for a more historically accurate nationalism and return to normal morals.
Let's hope we don't blow it.

Kind of slacking on that today aren't they? Computer talk and no mention about how wonderful Linux OS's are.
Posted by: buzzion at December 01, 2016 10:48 AM (bMG0w)
Heh. I'm using Linux right now. Wonderful? Hell if I know. It just works, and it was dead-nuts easy to install and use. I'm no way at all a Linux nerd, and to use this particular build of Linux Mint, you don't have to be. It has a graphic desktop that is very easy for a long-time Windows user to transition to. And it cost zero dollars. I installed this one on a used Acer desktop purchased from a friend, which had a buggy install of Win7 in it. I fired up the Win7, used it to download and burn the LinuxMint install DVD. Then I booted Mint from the DVD, played with it for ten minutes, and then told it to wipe the the hard disk and do a clean install of Mint. Alll there was to it.
So wonderful? I dunno. But it is indeed a practical alternative to Windows for non-nerds to use.

I'm all for "cutting off funding for Sanctuary cities" but I really don't think this is the silver bullet many people think it is.
Local law enforcement is basically forbidden from enforcing immigration law as it stands and nothing stops ICE from going in and deporting people in "sanctuary cities" right now. It's mainly just political posturing from mayors for the Latino vote.
But you make something E-Verify mandatory and then you really will see an exodus out of this country.

So I just got a panicked call from the Michigan Republican Party, wanting me to donate to "stop Jill Stein" who is trying to 'steal the 16 electoral votes" from Michigan.
In other words, the republican party has noticed the major fund raising being done by Stein and thought it was a good idea to copy it. The guy was getting pissed that I told him I had sent all the money I was going to during the election and the answer was no.
Michigan just certified the election two days ago after three weeks of canvassing by election officials. Stein is going to "steal" the electoral votes now from Michigan in a recount? A recount is going to significantly change the vote tally after the election officials have spent the last three weeks counting it?

I would support that, but realistically, I don't think you can effectively enforce it.
I mean someone can simply mail a check from an American bank to a Mexican and then they cash it at their local bank. Or there's now all sorts of online banks, credit cards, Paypal, etc. It's not just Western Union anymore.
But if you cut off the main magnet : jobs, with something like E-Verify. And then make sure you outlaw all government benefits and actually enforce it.
If you just changed the federal law where public schools "have to" take in illegals, that would cure most of it over night.

Posted by: Jen at December 01, 2016 11:05 AM (Q3CCX)

I think the issue might be that they have to have a Democrat and a Republican oversee the counting of the ballots in each precinct. So it might be a matter of paying staff to do that. I think I read that some precincts are counting right up till midnight, then starting again at 8 am because of the Electoral College deadline. You couldn't pay me to look at ballots till midnight at Christmas.

One of Scankles' tactics is they want a hand count so they can "interpret" the will of the voters, i.e. those who left the presidential slot blank but voted downballot. IOW anyone who left the presidential unvoted is automatically a FAB vote.
I'm not current with MI's process but I know what's going on in PA. Klinton/Soros have a difficult hill to climb here, yet I did just contribute to the cause via RNC email. I haven't sent money in years, but right now I believe it's necessary. Who knows how many resources the RNC will have to deploy?

I think the Roberts Court sort of neutered the Az law.
And it was incredibly benign, basically it just mandated local law enforcement turn them over to ICE.

>>Someone just mentioned that the city of San Fran get $1 BILLION a year for illegals.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. John Cullberson, Rep from Houston, has already forced the DOJ to notify some sanctuary cities that they are in violation of federal law. And he has pointed out the the sanctuary cities not only will lose federal funding going forward, they may be subject to repay funds they have received in the past. We are talking many, many billions in some cases.
Going to be quite the showdown.

Thanks, CBD. I know some people think the Wyeth family talent began and ended with N.C. but I usually like Andrew's portraits. "Christina's World" always appealed to me. Thought it would make an outstanding Yankee Magazine cover; the kind that people cut out and frame.
Andrew's use of color is pleasant and relaxing. The scenes seldom have hard edges; everything is rounded (not just Helga) or worn like old stone work. His paintings lack the dynamic quality of his father's but they are effective in a contemplative way.
Sorry for the late comment. Christmas errands can be demanding.

The fairest thing is to have the team with the best record during the regular season have home field advantage.
One thing I don't like about both the WCs and the way the All Star game was given importance is that it lessens the importance of a teams record over a 162 game season.

Windows 8 was Microsoft's attempt to unify the operating system between all their platforms like the Surface and PC etc. Plus, Microsoft keeps thinking people will stop using PCs altogether so they're trying to get away from operating systems of that sort.
But people despised the retard touchscreen look and tried to hang on to 7. So when 10 came out, they tried to force everyone to change over, but people still cling to 7 because it works and doesn't have stupid crap nobody wants, and runs older programs well.

But you make something E-Verify mandatory and then you really will see an exodus out of this country.
Without enforcement (and making an example of violators) E-verify will just be another administrative requirement that gets bypassed, no ?

Generally, it is pretty stable. Have it home, rolled it out across all PCs at work.

In fact, it has a second hard drive with XP on it, that still gets used occasionally. But no Win10.

I don't care how much judge shopping they do, they will not find a court allowing them to "interpret" votes , divine votes, etc. Votes are votes. Blank is blank.
My understanding of Michigan's recount laws is that the campaign requesting the recount must demonstrate that individual precincts were compromised in some manner and need to be recounted. I don't believe Michigan law allows them to ask for an entire state recount just for giggles.
Considering Michigan just certified and can demonstrate to a judge that they had canvassers supervise the final vote tally at each precinct, essentially a recount of each electronic scan machine's entries and paper ballots, Stein is going to have a time getting an order to recount the entire state again.

After Hillary! lost, that right there, that moment of shock upon finding out that a substantial portion of your expectations and beliefs were wrong-
should've led to retrospection, re-thinking, and possible enlightenment, but-
NOPE.
The Dims and their allies went straight to the outrage machine and stolen election fantasies to keep that time of retrospection and reconsideration from happening.....cuz, hey, i gots to get paid is all the leadership of the left is about.
Jill Stein's nonsense proves it...and actually proves that the rank and file left are so braindead that this is indeed the correct course of action,
if what you're all about is exploiting your stupid followers for cash and power.
It's hard to see how we as a nation can come together and thrive when roughly 50% of us are hyper-emotional, irrational true believers in a system of demonstrable failure.

Cortana in the Halo series is the AI partnered with John 117 or "Master Chief" - sort of a combination between native guide and HAL, who immediately prior to being in the subsystems of his Mjolnir armor was serving as the shipboard AI of the UNSC frigate Pillar of Autumn.
She is patterned off the brain, personality, memories, etc. of Dr. Katherine Halsey of ONI, and an ongoing theme is that AIs, once created, have an initial period of viability before a sort of natural schizophrenia and god complex makes them completely lose their shit and go crazy. So, like Windows.
Anyway, ongoing holographic projection of semi-naked blue woman who lives in Chief's head and is crazy helpful but slowly losing her marbles. Completely unlike any relationship with any real woman whatsoever.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. John Cullberson, Rep from Houston, has already forced the DOJ to notify some sanctuary cities that they are in violation of federal law. And he has pointed out the the sanctuary cities not only will lose federal funding going forward, they may be subject to repay funds they have received in the past. We are talking many, many billions in some cases.
There is danger in turning some of these sanctuary city mayors into leftist martyrs, but if this was coupled with throwing one or two of those treasonous bastards in jail, my schadenboner would rival that of The Warcock himself.

>>I hope you're right. But I naturally tend to be eeyorish about this and think that recent welcome events such as the Brexit vote and Trump's election are just one-off aberrations against which the Empire will Strike Back, hard.
Look what's happening in France. The choice looks like it's going to be between right and further right. Look what is happening in Italy. Look what happened in Hong Kong where there were open protests in the face of tyranny and for democracy. This stuff is happening all over.
And I definitely wouldn't undersell what is happening in the US. Other countries may mock us but when we move, many follow.
If you look at the post WWII Marxist movement that started in the Frankfurt School, was supported by the Soviet Union, and spread to America in schools like Columbia and U of Chicago, you can see a straight line to the 60's radicals who have taken over the Democrat Party. They forced out the more conservative Blue Dogs and went hard left. Obama represented the zenith of the movement.
But his policies have been widely repudiated. While he personally retains the charisma often associated with leftwing tyrants, his party has been hollowed out and they are spasming to the left not having a clue how to respond.
None of what has happened over the last 60 or so years happened by accident. It was a movement, a school of thought, and it has failed in location after location. They are in decline because it was a movement always destined for failure. I'm just glad I lasted long enough to see it begin to crumble.

Without enforcement (and making an example of violators) E-verify will just be another administrative requirement that gets bypassed, no ?
Posted by: McCool
Couldn't you say that about any law?
I tend to think businesses that have "something to lose" tend to be better about complying with the law.
Obviously some fly by night landscaping operation is going to risk it, but say a multi-billion dollar hotel chain? They are going to want to comply.
It's a multi prong strategy, but right now, unless you voluntarily go with E-Verify, it's actually ILLEGAL to check someone's immigration status with the current federal forms.

Culberson was pretty happy with getting Lynch to issue the letter. He is right, you HAVE TO GET IT ON THE RECORD FIRST.
In a nation of laws, you can't just hand-wave you must establish the record. Congressional hearings aren't just a timesuck, they are the only way to establish the record and honest disagreements.

Ok, well I guess I should read my local papers more.
Steins request has been filed with the state board of elections and they are waiting now for Trump's lawyers to file their objections. If the recount goes ahead, and it looks like it will, Michigan will recount every single precinct by HAND with paid volunteers.
Ingham county alone estimates it will take one week to hand count every ballot and it will cost just that county alone $45,000 in pay and table , facility rental, food, etc.
The state estimates it could cost up to $12 M for this recount. Apparently, there appears to be no law preventing this, despite what I read earlier.
I'm shocked. I really am. Stein says exactly as was posted above, they want to see if the machines didn't count a tiny dot on the ballot that may or may not be someone's "intended" vote.

The sickest part of the "recount" lawsuits is that it would potentially mean a state doesn't get to cast its Electoral votes for the Presidency.
That alone is about the most undemocratic, unjust outcome you could imagine.

===========================
I thought to get a hand recount in Michigan, you have to submit proof or substantial suspicion that fraud had actually taken place. Stein herself has said they have no concrete evidence of fraud. So it sounds like it's maybe judge's discretion?
She should have no standing to sue, as she has no chance of winning. How do you force the State to do this?

So even if you have 32 GB or more of RAM on your set up its only using 16 GB. Windows 10 doesn't have that limit, or its not supposed to at least.

I read your Holmes piece and quite liked it. I did not solve the mystery on my own.
I noticed that you tightened up some loose shit in the Conan Doyle canon; to wit, Watson's wandering wound. In the first Holmes book, A Study in Scarlet, he complains of a wound to his shoulder. In later works, the wound was to his leg. You gave him two wounds, presumably incurred at the same time. One wonders if he might not have been squatting to relieve himself when accosted by the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune such that a single bullet may have produced both wounds. Similarly, you hinted at another conundrum in the canon, Mrs. Watson, or should I say the Mistresses Watson. There are certain inconsistencies in the character in the canon that cause one to suspect there may have been more than one. Although not directly addressed, you made it clear that Watson had an eye for the ladies.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!
My only criticism is that you could have been more clear regarding the motive for the impersonation of "Colin". I think I understand. He wished to disassociate himself from his partners in crime once a murder had occurred without himself incurring what his "brother" incurred and therefore sought to involve Holmes to overturn the checkerboard, so speak.
In short, I very much enjoyed this addition to the Holmes literature.

Maritime,
"So they find a person that does have a green card here and they use that person for to send checks to Mexico."
That is money laundering and is also illegal.
