Hi this is Bob. I vegot to admit the scenary is fantastic. Well we finally made it to the Crazy Horse Memorial and we found plenty to do. They have a museum and it was packed full of indian relics, and it was guit large. There was buffalo heads, teapees, arrow heads, toys, and just everything that had to do with indian life.
Outside in the court yard they have a carving of what the memorial will look like when it's finished in 1/34 scale. And this carving is big it's hard to believe that the memorial is 34 times bigger.
Well the highlight of the day for James was the bus ride to the base of the memorial and he could care less about the memorial with all the marmoths running around.[ those are little animals that look like a small woodchuck.] All in all it was a very good time. Now it's time to move on to our next stop.
Will post our entrys in full once we arrive in Washington. Interent connections have not been so good. In the meantime enjoy some of the pics

St Jude Medical launched 3D heart imager Ilumien Optis System
Singapore: St Jude Medical, a global medical device company, launched Ilumien Optis System, a next-generation technology designed to help physicians make personalized stenting decisions based on each patient's unique anatomy and disease state.
The new system is the only combined Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging technology platform. Together, FFR and OCT offer physicians a physiological and anatomical view of the coronary vessels to help diagnose and treat coronary artery disease. The system provides enhancements to the present Ilumien System, including a first-of-its-kind stent planning software tool.
The PressureWire Aeris Wireless FFR Measurement System collects detailed analyses of blood flow blockages in the coronary vessels to help determine which specific blockages are causing the patient's blood flow to be ineffective. The FFR pressure guidewire is directed through the coronary arteries and across the narrowed vessel, taking measurements as the guidewire is pulled back through the narrowed part of the artery.
The OCT technology uses the Dragonfly JP Imaging Catheter to capture near-infrared light imaging and measure important vessel characteristics otherwise invisible or difficult to assess with older intracoronary imaging tools. New high resolution setting and real-time, three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction with the Ilumien Optis provide a 360-degree panoramic view of the vessel, which makes it easier for physicians to visualize the anatomy they are treating.
The FFR and OCT measurements captured by the Ilumien Optis system allow physicians to more easily differentiate plaque build-up and determine if the narrowed arteries are causing ischemia, or a restriction in blood flow, ultimately assisting in stent placement.

Pollock's first New York exhibition was at the McMillan Gallery in 1942, where his work was shown alongside those of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Georges Braque. The curator of the exhibition was John D. Graham, who had written on Picasso and Jungian psychoanalysis. An identifiable source of stylistic inspiration for Pollock's drawing is clearly the work of Picasso, in particular his Minotauromachie (Minotauromachy),an etching and engraving produced in 1935. The Surrealist biomorphic and linear forms of Joan Miró are also present in Pollock's drawing, as is Jungian archetypical symbolism.
Pollock's striking division of the composition into two distinct levels can be interpreted along Jungian lines. The top section—rendered in carefully shaded detail—may represent Jung's 'personal unconscious', whilst the lower section—a loosely formed composition of lines and biomorphic shapes—may be seen to represent the deeper level of Jungian unconscious, the 'collective unconscious'. It was this deeper level of the psyche from which Pollock and many of the Surrealists wished to draw their expressive imagery. In order to connect with their deepest psyche, a number of artists experimented with automatic drawing techniques, where they would suspend conscious control over their composition and allow the spontaneous movements of their subconscious to take over. As a collection of lightly executed curvilinear lines and separated organic shapes, the lower half of Pollock's drawing appears to have been created using such an automatist technique.
Jaklyn Babington
As well as the two paintings by Pollock, Totem lesson 2 1945 and Blue poles 1952, the National Gallery of Australia holds six drawings from the 1930s and 1940s, and two sets of prints: six intaglio prints c.1944, printed 1967, and six screenprints 1950.

With many collectors extremely satisfied with the way Hasbro has recently been making new vehicles for Star Wars action figures, is it about time we got some more podracers?
There were 18 of these speedy little vehicles and their pilots designed for Episode One: The Phantom Menace.
We currently have action figures for:
Anakin Skywalker
Ody Mandrell
Teemto Pegules
But we have podracers for only the first 2 pilots.
Anakin's features remote-activated air breaks, while Sebulba has a deadly sneak-cheat vibro-drill.
Toys could be made for Ody Mandrell's racer which fires "pit droid missles," while Teemto Pegules could launch its pod into an unrecoverable spin from 'catching Tusken fire.'
Mawhonic's engine's could explode, and Ben Quadrinaros could launch 3 out of 4 of them in all directions.
We could get new figures of more of these fine pilots.
At the very least, diorama builders could get a little further with a nice rendering of the Mos Espa Podracing Arena, and video game racers could have more models of their favorite crafts they win with!
So do you think Hasbro should make more Podracer Vehicles?

Fairly recently, I stumbled upon a blog written by the Scrappy Genealogist, Jennifer Shoer, in which she shared her work as she completed the "Family History Album Class offered at JessicaSprague.com. I really enjoy digital scrapbooking and after reflecting on the template of week two of Sprague's class I signed up for the course — The basic templates for the family tree and pedigree were worth the premium I needed to pay. I rarely use quick pages or templates provided by others, but these were worth it. Sure, I could have produced something similar, but it would have taken me several hours, at best.
Now, before you rush out to get purchase this class, let me make a comment or two. This is not something something for the first time scrap booker If you don't have a nice graphic software, say Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, this isn't for you. If you don't have a good basic knowledge of using your graphic software including layers, masks, etc., this isn't for you. Although I applaud the work of Sprague and the combined concept of genealogy and digital scrapbooking, the genealogy side of the course is very basic. Don't purchase the product hoping to learn new genealogy skills.

You see, there you go again; you think it is better to lie to someone in order to get them to vote for you than tell them the hard truth. Women will know they made a huge mistake at the end of Obamas second term, they were totally duped.
You showed pretty consistently in pre-election threads you have no idea what the "people" think about things, want or are willing to tolerate. This election should be a teaching moment for you, but you don't seem to be learning.
You sound just like the Conservatives who thought the nation was shifting in 2004 win Bush won re-election only to see the Democrats bounce back in 2006, or the Liberals in 2008 who thought a new age of progressivism was ushered in by Obamas election only to have their clocks cleaned by Conservatives in 2010. Conservatives will be back, whether it is in 2014 or 2016. You seem to forget that Conservatives gained strength in the House in this last election, so it was not quite the glorious victory on all fronts you seem to think it was.
Why should I assume mitigating circumstances -- whatever they might be -- exist without having a reason to believe they exist? It's reasonable to infer a racist person from a racist statement or action. Why should theoretical evidence be given equal weight with actual evidence?
Calling Obama a monkey is not a racist statement; racism is defined as the belief that a persons race is superior to all other races. If they made a statement saying they thought whites were superior to all other races, then that would be a racist statement. They made statements that could be seen as racially insensitive, but that does not prove they are racists.
Exactly, I dont recall seeing such outrage when liberal comedians such as Whoopi Goldberg called Condi Rice Sally Hennings who was Thomas Jeffersons slave and mistress. Was that racist?
Hes not defending racism; hes calling you out for being irrational, you are appealing to logically fallacious special pleading.. I already pointed out that blacks use racial slurs with one another in malice quite frequently, Warren Ballantine called Juan Williams a Porch Monkey on national television when the two were having an argument, and they are both black. You still have no idea what you are talking about do you?
Ah, the guy who works in genetics but didnt know what the word genome meant, I remember you, youre a funny one.
and some of us are better at typing coherent statements than others, that is for sure.
So no to the prophet, yes to following others who sometimes talk about White Power. Thats a shame and fairly embarrassing for you.
Nope, as a Christian I follow Christ, and he never said anything about white power, so your analogy fails. Youre a Darwinist, and Darwin was a racist.
Coherence? Man, your to amusing Statler.
I am sure you meant YOURE TOO amusing Statler.; no wonder its tough to follow your posts.
So they werent victims! They just saved America from unintended consequences there werent really unintented except you now say they were unintended. Man, thank god for that GOP, looking out for the citizens of this country, especially women of this country and their vulnerable vagina's that currently lack probes in them.
Ultrasounds are actually non-invasive, but you dont really seem to care about the facts considering you thought women actually earn 75 cents to every mans dollar.
I totally agree, Republicans made themselves look bad. So again, they werent the victim! Its so nice to have a conversation with you in which we are both in full agreement. Republicans just want to talk about rape and vagina probing and that made them look bad. And of course there is no "war on women" according to the GOP. If those women would just shut up and take it nothing would be a problem.
Were just informed enough to know that there is a bit of difference between an 18 year old boy who sleeps with his 15 year old girlfriend consensually and a man who attacks a woman and forces her to have sex with him against her will. You just know you cant win on the issues so you have to distort the facts.
Unfortunately, Romney was clearly to stupid and lazy.
to stupid ? I seriously hope you were trying to be ironic by making such a bone-headed grammatical error while calling Romney stupid, please tell me you were being funny, please

Celebrate a birthday with easy-to-make cupcakes. A simple snip of a marshmallow makes the decoration.
Use edible glitter in place of the colored sugar for extra sparkle.
Check out party-supply or cake-decorating stores for fun birthday candles.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Hey guys, anyone have this problem and a particular fix for it? I have a really high drive pup 18 mos old that always seems to drink drink drink when she gets in the water, to the point of barfing...
Today was the first duck boat ride and she did great however... water was salty and the end result wasn't at all pretty.
She has unlimited access to water accept at night. I don't get the obsession?
She's good and sick today. You can tell she feels like poo... maybe she'll learn? everything I know about dogs says probably not... but maybe.
Thoughts anyone? It's gonna be a long season for her if she doesn't quit it.

Are new products (realistic decoys, long range loads, etc.) making turkey hunting more dangerous?
I am one of the unfortunate ones that lives in a state that allows rifles to be used in the spring. Therefore, myself and other hunters that I know choose not to use a full strut decoy while hunting. I don't know if it would increase the incidents or not if they were used more around this area, but I could not imagine setting up a gobbler decoy at the edge of a field where I hunt, and I am pretty sure I am the only one that has permission to the farms I hunt. To me the full strut decoys pose a major safety hazard to a hunter, but I have never hunted behind one nor do I plan on hunting with one so I wouldn't know for sure.

Shooting Near Brookfield, Wisconsin Mall, At Least Seven Injured [Updated]
A shooting at Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield, Wisconsin has been described as a "mass casualty" situation. Update: At least three people are dead, and the suspected shooter, Radcliffe Haughton, has been found, dead from what police believe is a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
2. What we know at 2 PM, ET
Brookfield police have confirmed that multiple people have been shot near Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield, Wisconsin, but there are no details yet about the location or status of the shooter. Multiple ambulances are at the scene and police are grouped in front of the Azana salon near the mall, where victims were seen emerging with gunshot wounds.
The police scanner indicates that the shooter may have been dressed in military fatigues and may have already fled from the scene in a black Mazda, but those details are unconfirmed.
Christopher Pfeiffer, 47, of Brookfield, said he pulled into the Barnes & Noble parking lot at the square and saw a young girl running. "She was screaming, yelling, crying hysterical. She was pleading for help. She kept saying, 'My mother was shot.' And she mentioned that there was a gunman. She ran into the bookstore and I followed her. But I watched her from afar."
CNN reports that hospital spokeswoman Nalissa Wienke says all four people in the emergency room appear to have non-critical injuries. She could not say whether the injuries were due to gunshots. Reportedly, another three victims are on their way to the hospital.
Brookfield is located 30 miles of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, where a shooting at a Sikh temple happened two months ago.

The suspect seems to be at large and is being sought by police in the area. Newsradio WTMJ reports that authorities are searching for a 6'1", 270 lb. African-American with a bald head and brown eyes. He was reportedly driving a black 2003 Mazda. Authorities believe he may be from Brown Deer.

12. Update, 2:20 PM
Although the shooting was initially reported at the Brookfield Square Mall, it appears that the victims emerged from the nearby Azana Salon & Spa across the street from the mall itself.
13. Update, 2:30 PM
The JS Online reports
David Gosh of West Allis, his father John, and a friend, Ben Luedke, were returning from duck hunting when they saw a woman run out into Moorland Road screaming into traffic.
"She ran right out into the street was pounding on cars," Gosh said.
A short time later, Gosh said, a large African-American man with a handgun ran out and appeared to be chasing the girl. However, at that moment, police started showing up and when the gunman saw them, he ran back into the building - or perhaps into the woods behind the building, where Westmoor Country Club is located.
"He was the shooter," Gosh said. "He was looking for an escape route."
Gosh and his father were fairly certain he returned to the building because they thought they saw him appear at an upstairs window and pull a shade down. However, scanner traffic indicated he may have left in a black 2003 Mazda. He reportedly was dressed in military fatigues.
Gosh's father, John, saw two women come out of the building who had been shot. They were bloody, he said; one appeared to be shot in the leg and the other appeared to have been shot in the back.
Police officers told Gosh that at least eight people had been shot.
14. Update, 3:10 PM:
The suspect has been identified by a local NBC affiliate as Radcliff Haughton, a 45 year old man, and the shooting is thought to involve a domestic dispute that a judge intervened in very recently. His estranged wife works at Azana, and there are reports that Haughton may have recently slashed her tires at the salon's parking lot recently.
There are also (unconfirmed) reports that one of the people shot was a pregnant woman.
Staff outside the Azana Salon and Spa after the incident.
16. Update, 3:20 PM
On LinkedIn: a Radcliffe Haughton living in the "great Milwaukee area," whose occupation is listed as "Owner, Haughton International Corporations." Haughton International Corporations returns no Google results other than the LinkedIn profile.
[We have no way of knowing whether this is actually the same person who is being identified as the shooting suspect.]
17. Update, 3:57 PM
This photo of the suspected shooter has been released by police in Brookfield.
19. Update, 6:15 PM
According to the AP, the suspect Radcliffe Haughton is dead. Brookfield Police Department Chief Daniel Tushaus said police believe that Haughton died of a "self-inflicted gunshot wound."

Juvenile justice policy is lecture topic, Dec. 6
Posted November 29, 2006; 06:07 p.m.
A lecture focusing on "Juvenile Justice Policy in the 21st Century"
is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 6, in 16 Robertson Hall.
The talk will be presented by Laurence Steinberg, the Laura Carnell Professor of Psychology at Temple University, and Donald DeVore, director of juvenile services at the Connecticut Department of Children and Families.
Steinberg is a nationally recognized expert on psychological development during adolescence. His research has focused on a range of topics in the study of contemporary adolescence, including parent-adolescent relationships, adolescent employment, high school reform and juvenile justice.
DeVore is responsible for Connecticut's juvenile justice programs, girls' and boys' services and the Connecticut Juvenile Training School. He previously served as a federally appointed court monitor in Connecticut and was widely credited with upgrading three juvenile detention centers.
The talk is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Center for Research and Child Wellbeing as part of its "Researcher Meets Policy-Maker" series.

Speaking on CNBC just now, onetime mortgage REIT hater Jeff Gundlach of DoubleLine Capital was singing the praises of mortgage real-estate investment trusts, along with closed-end funds, now that they're trading at significant discounts, particularly following the months-long rout for mREITs. Here's Gundlach:
There is plenty of yied right now in the bond market, but it's not in Treasuries. I'm talking about closed-end funds, I'm talking about mortgage REITs. These are vehicles that are trading at 10% discounts to their net asset values, or for REITs versus their book value….
They're generating yields where it's not that hard to put together a basket of investments that yields 8%, but people don't want to buy these investments now due to fear and loathing….
As a group, Gundlach said of mREITs and closed-end funds "I think those preserve capital over the next 12 months and I can see a return of 15%" for some given their current discounts.
Gundlach specifically mentioned Annaly Capital Management (NLY) as an attractive investment now. Back in June Gundlach was predicting a further price drop for NLY and saying he'd be a buyer at $12 if it fell that far. It's trading at $11.50 today.
Elsewhere across the mREIT sector, it's mostly unchanged Thursday. American Capital Agency Corp. (AGNC) is nearly unchanged at $22.55. CYS Investments (CYS) is similarly steady at $7.79. Hatteras Financial Corp (HTS) is up 8 cents at $18.43 and AG Mortgage Investment Trust Inc. (MITT) up 1% at $17.49.

Application and next steps
Your application
In your application, you should demonstrate an interest in the literature, culture and history of the language you are proposing to study. Involvement in cultural activities in the language (i.e. reading newspapers and magazines, watching television and films or engaging with relevant communities) is regarded favourably, as is travel to the country in question.
How to apply
Application for admission should be made through UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). Applicants currently at school or college will be provided with advice on the process; however, applicants who have left school or who are based outside the United Kingdom may obtain information directly from UCAS.
When applying for a place on this programme please submit your application to the Modern Language Plus BA. All applicants will then be contacted to confirm the chosen combination of lanugage/subject they wish to be considered for. Please note that French and Spanish are not taught from beginner's level so an A level or equivalent is therefore required for these combinations.
Application deadline: 15 January 2018
If your application demonstrates that your academic ability and motivation makes you well-suited to our degree and you receive an offer, then we shall invite you to a post-offer open day, where you can experience the sort of teaching that we offer and life in SELCS.
Our admissions process aims to assess your linguistic abilities and attainments as well as cultural awareness and intellectual potential. We may interview candidates by telephone in order to establish a level of language ability.

She's now 13 months old and pinning 350 yard memory birds on water. Unfortunately I decided to turn on the video on this one after she had pinned the 5 previous marks...she had a nice little (relatively) diciplined hunt on this one. 2 others out of the same litter will be running spring derbies too!

Add outdated equipment in need of repair or replacement to other problems confronting the New London Police Department, including a roughly one-third reduction in staffing due to an exodus of officers to other departments, along with morale issues.
Since providing for the public safety is the most basic of governmental responsibilities, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio must make addressing these challenges a priority for his administration. He says he is. We shall see.
Public safety in the city has emerged as a top issue in the current City Council race, but don't expect added investment in the department until after the election. Mayor Finizio said it will probably be January, about the midpoint of the fiscal year, before his office has enough fiscal data to be sure the budget will support hiring and an investing in new equipment.
This issue will not go away. Whoever ends up in control of the council, options will remain limited by the fiscal constraints of this cash-strapped city and by a tax base overly reliant on residential properties.
In giving final approval to the budget, the council set aside $500,000 to hire several additional officers in the second half of the fiscal year. Come Jan. 1, this must be a priority.
Deputy Chief Reichard told The Day that a minimum of six patrol cars need replacing and that seven of 17 cameras installed in patrol cars are not working.
Meanwhile, the administration is preparing a report to the council as to why about one-third of officers left the force in the last year or so, taking their city-paid training with them. Likely culprits include the threat of layoffs tied to past budget problems, morale issues and better compensation elsewhere. Once identified, the root causes need to be addressed by the administration.
The mayor tells us these challenges are complicated by the council's decision to pass, over his veto, an ordinance mandating that the police have a minimum four-dog canine unit. There will be more costs associated with meeting that requirement than the council has been willing to recognize, he said.
His honor suggested he may return to the council - the newly elected council - to help set priorities with what money is available. Could the canine debate be revisited? Please, no.
In the second half of his four-year term Mayor Finizio needs to push hard for a capital budget appropriation to pay for needed equipment not only for police, but to replace outdated fire trucks and public works vehicles.
The city's top elected leader points to statistics that show crime trending down. That suggests this is a problem, not a crisis.
It still needs fixing.
That's his job.

Tender pork chops coated with orange marmalade rest on top of homemade savory stuffing in a 20-minute delight!
The stuffing will be dry when you put it in the baking dish, but the juices from the pork add lots of moisture. If you wish to bake the stuffing separately, use a 14-ounce can of broth instead of 1 cup.
Cut the prep time in this recipe by using purchased stuffing. Melt 1/2 cup butter or margarine, and heat 1 cup chicken broth. In a large bowl, toss butter and broth with 8 cups herb-seasoned bread stuffing cubes (from 14-ounce package). Spoon into ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Continue with step 3.
To make the bread crumbs a day ahead, place bread slices in a single layer on wire rack and let dry at room temperature.

Castanets, "Glory B" (With Jana Hunter)City of Refuge (Asthmatic Kitty), the latest release from Raposa, was recorded over three weeks in a shitty Overton motel room that he spotted while stopping for gas on tour. As you might expect from its Nevada inspirations, this track is as sparse as it is harsh, barely comforted by its odd traditionalist bent, and barely warmed by the distant Las Vegas neon.
Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, "Summer of Fear Part 2"Castanets fans who didn't quite get their expected share of rootsy pop with City of Refuge, meet Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. His homonymous debut is a road-ready slab of folky rock recorded with Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor, and his appearance this Tuesday will likely find him revealing bits of an album he's finishing up with Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio.
The End of the World, "I Don't Wanna Lose"
Sometimes, they sound like a more heavily batter-fried Strokes; other times, they're a grubbier Walkmen; still others, they fit their own description just right: "Listening to Another Green World on some country road in Texas." "I Don't Wanna Lose" is a winner among winners off their newest LP, French Exit.
Scott Tuma, "New Joy"Chicago's Scott Tuma joined producer Ero Gray, label head Sufjan Stevens, folkstress Jana Hunter, and Dawn Smithson of Sunn O))) as one of the handful of trusted extra hands on City of Refuge — and it's easy to see why he made the cut. This track off his third full-length, Not for Nobody (Digitalis), is radiant, broadening like some naturally occurring musical zeitgeber.

Alright you pesky new kids. Wanna know why The RTF is COOL? Wanna Know Why We Are Family? I Gots a Fricken story for ya all!
Last year a retriever club had to cancel a hunt test. It happens every year to any given club. It sucks. So this particular retriever club, in an effort to be responsible and let everyone know told it here on the RTF. And then, led by one individual and then pounced upon by many were totally run over by the RTF bus. It so was lame. I think even another thread was started in support of the club.
Well, I have chaired a few hunt tests. Both club tests and licensed events. More than once. And I have had to cancel events. It sucks. More work goes into calling off an event than putting one on. So, I scent a message to the club and told them next year if they send me the info and a logo I would set them up with some maple syrup of mine to use as judges gifts or raffle stuff. Well this year was next year last year. And promises are made to be kept. Not only did the club contact send the info but also purchased some for their personal private self. The Pure Vermont Maple Syrup was shipped and the Hunt test went on and people entered. Life was good.
Fast forward to tonight. Home from work, Dogs feed, bier in hand check front stoop. Huge box! The feller who was my contact at the retriever club works at
Starline Inc.
Makers Of The Finest Handgun Brass
and in the huge box were (I have not actually counted) A stack of cool T-Shirts. A Stack of Hats. And a Stack of Hoodies, Nice ones!!!
All from Starline Brass. Just in time for my clubs NAHRA field-test this coming weekend on Kate Simonds front lawn in Stowe, Vermont. Plopped upon the raffle table they will be!!!
A very public THANK YOU
to Starline Brass and to David Wolfe!!!
This Kids .. is why the RTF is cool!
It aint about who is able to type the fastest.
It aint about who is able to reply to every thread.
It is real people doing things for real people. The RTF is not a faceless forum like so many others. It is as it always was a group of retriever geeks standing around the tailgate of a pickup truck after an event. Talking to each other, having a bier.

John Wesley Hetherington was born in Northumberland, England on 22 November 1878 to Thomas and Margaret Hetherington. Hetherington worked as an engineer tool maker in Sydney, Australia before enlisting in the Australian Imperial Force on 17 September 1914 as an armourer corporal. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Brigade and departed Australia for Egypt on 18 October 1914 aboard HMAT Suffolk.
After training in Egypt, the battalion took part in the ANZAC landing on Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. Hetherington was wounded during the landing and spent four months in hospital in Malta. He re-joined the 2nd Battalion at Gallipoli, where they remained until the evacuation in December 1915.
After returning to Egypt from Gallipoli in December 1915, the 2nd Battalion arrived at Marseilles, France on 28 March 1916. Since the Gallipoli landing the previous year, Hetherington had received numerous promotions and was an armourer sergeant by March 1916. From July through to September 1916, the 2nd Battalion was engaged in its first major battle in the Western Front, the battle of Pozières. Following the end of this battle, Hetherington went to England on leave before re-joining the battalion in France. From February to May 1917, Hetherington attended the Armoury School of Instruction and was promoted to the rank of regimental quartermaster sergeant(warrant officer class 2) on 25 May 1917. Throughout 1917 and 1918, the 2nd Battalion took part in operations against the German Army in the Somme Valley in France and Belgium . Hetherington returned to Australia aboard HT Devon in October 1918. Hetherington was discharged in January 1919.
John Wesley Hetherington enlisted again during the Second World War on 10 June 1940. He reduced his age by stating his year of birth was 1888. He was discharged on 2 February 1945 with the rank of staff sergeant.
John Hetherington died in Sydney in 1978.

RE:Skagit TubeFly Clave
Well, looks like Dana and I will be chasing your Rio Speyline this Saturday on the upper Skagit. Have also wiped my digital camera's scancard, so am ready to take some macros of exotic tube flies.
Pictures and story to follow <g>
RE:Skagit TubeFly Clave
Brian - you are killing me! The ultimate teaser w/o those images... but my minds eye is running panorama mode from the words. Sounds like a great gathering I wish I didn't have to miss.
ABout the fly picture... I know you guys just didn't want your secrets revealed on line
On the slide-up... I recall cohos slashing at the flailing fly while another thrashes it's head below it.
Please get some of those tube fly images to me when you can I am dying of curiosity!
Skagit TubeFly Clave
BC's chapter of the Brotherhood of the Black GP decided to travel south to spend an afternoon with me on the Skagit river this last Saturday.
With our favored March-April fishery cancelled, we'd resigned ourselves to the less appealing prospect of swinging flies for semi-frozen hatchery brats. This was offset by my own excitement at fishing with good friend Dana Sturn again (our paths haven't crossed in over a year) and drawing inspiration from the amazing variety of furry and feathery creations both Dana (Blacksalmon) and Tyler (Kush) had managed to craft on tubes.
We've all been bitten by the tube fly bug of late and took this opportunity to discuss our discoveries. At one point, after breakfast at the Bunny Cafe, we laid out a lavish spread of exotic and innovative ties on the white tablecloth and reached for the cameras.
There was Dana's amazing Intruder-inspired monster - an orange and black creation a full 8" long, Tyler's dazzling Maribou spider in Skykomish Sunrise colors (a vibrant combinations of colors - one of the nicest ties of a maribou spider I've seen), my own blue/yellow tie on a brass tube, and several more of Tyler's colorful orange/yellow maribou GPs completed the display.
Oh, that's right . . . the Cameras! I lined up my digital on the flies, but the message "DISK FULL" appeared in the LED display. DUH! Forgot to delete all those other pics before I left home.
Tyler breaks out his waterproof Canon, but . . you guessed it! Dead Battery!
One more chance, but for the first time in the 2 years I've had the Olympus -
Strike 3 - DEAD BATTERY! That picture was not to be!
OK - on to the fishing!!! <g>
I've never had much luck with the winter hatchery fish myself, but have had a few days where things just seemed to line up. This was one of those days!
In the first run we fished, Dana hooked up with a nice Dolly in the tailout. Tyler and I were watching his Diawa 15' spey rod bucking, and the splashes of the fish were respectable. I think we were both a little suprised when he hoisted up that Dolly.
We proceeded downriver at 1pm to another favored run and spread out to cover it. I was following Tyler through the upper water when I saw his rod dip. The fish didn't do much at first, so I couldn't really tell what he might have ('specially since I've caught quite a few Dollys from that very spot). He reeled it right up close at first, but when it saw him and started stripping off line we knew that was no Dolly!! After another few runs, he led the bright hatchery buck to shore. Something I noticed is that it's tough finding those little short-shank hooks when the tube fly separates from the hook and the fish is thrashing about in the shallows. Tyler was able to convince the fish to settle down - he extracted the hook from the lower jaw and Mr Brat was back on his way upstream!
After congratulations all around, Tyler graciously retired to a handy log to enjoy one of his Stogies while I continued thru the gut of the run. And sure enough, by the time I'd passed about 10 steps below where Tyler had been standing, a subtle bump on my brass tube Shrimp caught my attention as it started the swing below me. At the end of the swing, I felt increased tension and lifted the rod. The fish shook hard, flexing the 8150 into the butt as I aimed the rod toward shore and yelled "Got One!!"
Kiss of Death!! The fish continued his headshaking for a few more seconds, then I heard the first clicks of the drag just as the hook came away! My little Tiemco 105 #4 was still sticky sharp when I checked it, so I'm still at a loss as to how that fish escaped.
We saw another steelie roll in this very spot, but even with us all giving it a try nobody was able to get another take. Still, when I look back on my past December/January flyfishing trips, this one stands out both for it's productivity and because we weren't anywhere near a hatchery or plant site.
After a celebratory dinner and some fine Whiskey-laced Bread Pudding, we headed home! And next trip, I'll have a larger MB card for my digital so we can share some of these incredible patters with the Forum readers.
Tight Lines and Sharp Hooks!

Worried about having too many cookies? The beauty of refrigerator cookies is you can slice and bake just the number of cookies you want.
Toast nuts in shallow pan in 350ºF oven 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.
Each time you slice a cookie, roll the roll of cookie dough a quarter turn to prevent flattening on one side.
Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 9 months. To freeze refrigerator cookie dough, wrap rolls of dough in foil or freezerproof wrap.

Saw 3D: The Final Chapter
- No Rating Available
Movie Review
In this, the supposed final chapter of the long-running Saw franchise, Jigsaw's widow, Jill, has gone to the police and exposed her late husband's accomplice/successor. He's a crooked cop named Mark Hoffman who would just love to kill Jill and anyone else he can stab, torture, mutilate, blow up or strangle along the way.
Bent on preserving Jigsaw's legacy of brutally twisted "educational" traps, Hoffman zeros in on Bobby Dagen, a man who's making a small mint in book and speaking revenues by lying about surviving one of Jigsaw's torturous attacks. In order to make Bobby "earn" his story and "learn" a few lessons, Hoffman puts him through a series of gruesome and violent tests. And Bobby's wife, best friend, publicist and lawyer are all in mortal jeopardy as Dagen struggles to set them free from the malicious snares Hoffman's cooked up.
Meanwhile, police detective Gibson is hot on the killer's trail. He's also trying to protect Jill and find Dagen. Will Jill live? Will Bobby pass the tests and save his entourage? Will the late Jigsaw have yet another cameo?
I beg of you, don't watch Saw 3D to find out.
Positive Elements
True to Jigsaw's perverse MO, Hoffman's traps are designed to speak to the victims' sins and "own doing" in order to teach them life lessons—were they to live long enough to actually benefit from them. Of course, most of our Saw reviews mention this small detail in one way or another, and I'm actually quite glad that this will be the last time, because it's not really very much of a positive element, is it? Even the scriptwriter seems to agree with me. Dr. Gordon, a recurring character and survivor, comments that finding anything positive in such suffering is remarkable, "if not a little perverse." And in Bobby's case, this time around his wife and friends are merely there as bait to be sacrificed, not to be "taught."
Bobby does try to save his loved ones, putting himself in harm's way to do so. The few who have managed to survive Jigsaw's no-win-situation traps form a support group.
Spiritual Content
A couple of people talk about a desire to live growing in their souls.
Sexual Content
A woman's bra and lots of skin show as she hangs from a harness. In a nightmare, another woman's body is pulverized by a saw, causing her breasts to be exposed as clothing is ripped from her torso.
Violent Content
It's hard to know where to begin with unchecked gore—especially when it flies at the audience thanks to the wonders of 3-D. Hard, but not impossible: A woman's face and throat are ripped off by a barbed, spring-loaded trap. We see into her still quivering esophagus. Hoffman's lips and cheek are torn by the same device; he stoically stitches them back together, and we're "treated" to a close-up of the needle and thread as they penetrate his flesh.
Two men are shackled to saws, with their mutual girlfriend hanging in between them over a larger blade. They decide to spare their own lives by sacrificing the unfaithful woman, who is graphically sawn in two. As the blade cuts through her, she screams (and screams and screams) as her blood spatters the men and her intestines slide to the ground.
Another elaborately grotesque trap involves four people, one of whom is superglued to the seat of a car that will soon fall from a jack, accelerate and kill his three friends. If he can rip his back from the seat and reach a lever to stop the car, he's told he can save them. He cannot, of course, and his flesh is torn apart in his attempt. One of the tires falls on a woman's face, shredding it and the rest of her body as the car speeds off. A man's jaw and arms are attached to the car by hooks—and ripped from his body when the vehicle speeds into the fourth man, who is shackled to a wall. Blood and body parts fly. When asked how many victims there are at the crime scene, a cop says, "Enough pieces to make four."
A woman's eyes and mouth are savagely gouged by spikes when Bobby cannot save her from a trap. He must pull a fishhook from another woman's stomach, ripping her throat in the process—evident by the mound of flesh he heaves out of her mouth. Bobby must pull two of his teeth in order to find a lock's combination. He twists pliers in anguish, ripping his mouth, causing blood to pour from the wounds. We hear his jaw crunch. In order to reach and save his wife, Bobby pierces his pectoral muscles with large hooks and miserably hoists himself up with chains. Eventually, his chest rips apart and he falls to the floor in a pool of blood.
Hoffman repeatedly bashes Jill's face into a table. He also stabs two coroners and multiple policemen in the neck. A man cauterizes the stump of his freshly amputated foot by holding it against a hot pipe—his suffering obvious. Various corpses are seen in diverse states of decay and dismemberment. People are also shot and graphically burned to death. A man's eyelids are shown sewn shut.
Crude or Profane Language
About 60 f-words. Two s-words. God's name is abused more than 30 times, joined by "d‑‑n" four or five times. Milder curses include "h‑‑‑," "a‑‑" and "b‑‑ch."
Drug and Alcohol Content
A burned and dismembered corpse on an autopsy table is said to be the result of smoking a cigarette at a gas station.
Other Negative Elements
A bitter woman criticizes another survivor, telling her that her abusive lover had to die before she had the courage to "leave" him. Bobby exploits others' suffering for his own profit. A man and his friends are said to be racists—and are tortured and killed for it. Bobby callously tells a woman in agony to "shut the f‑‑‑ up" so he can help her.
Jigsaw actually died in Saw III, but he still lives on four movies later. Betsy Russell, who plays Jill, believes it's the mind games and "lessons" he's so fond of that keep fans coming back for more. She told the Los Angeles Times, "I completely believe that the Saw movies do have heart and soul and morals and values. I know it sounds crazy, but John Kramer [Jigsaw] isn't putting people that do great things for society into these traps. He's putting people that are doing what he deems to be wrong things in their lives [into the traps]. Basically … he's asking them 'What is your choice going to be now to make things right? Will you make the right choice, or will you continue to follow the path of evil?'"
She's telling us we're supposed to empathize with Hoffman and Jigsaw, and understand the "good" reasons behind their killing sprees. After all, they only kill bad people! In reality, however, any so-called lessons dealt by these serial murderers are themselves evil at best, devised by human beings—if they can be called that—with no more moral authority than a jackal.
It seems more likely, actually, that many fans are filling seats simply to see vigilante "justice" and how many ways body parts can be severed, ripped, sliced and mashed. And with this, the last Saw film (we can only hope), it's as Metromix critic Geoff Berkshire writes, "Saw goes down in history as the most unnecessarily convoluted horror franchise of all time, and that's the nicest thing you can say about it."

Yesterday night, Edsger Dijkstra died of cancer. His early work was truly pioneering, with many of his ideas forming an integral part of computing today, including semaphores. He perhaps most famous for his article, "Go To Statement Considered Harmful". Since then, "considered harmful" has become a distinctive part of the computing lexicon.
Dijkstra was an intellectual father to me. Twenty or so years ago, my father initiated a correspondence with him, and we kept it up for some years. I eagerly awaited the airmail envelope from Holland, addressed beautifully in fountain pen, and always found the contents to be equally beautiful, in words as well as penmanship. It's remarkable that he took time in his busy life to correspond with an arrogant young kid, and I still appreciate it.
Later, I attended the 1990 Marktoberdorf summer school, and had a chance to experience Dijkstra's wit, charm, and warmth. Looking back, it was a key point in my life - I was struggling with what direction it should take. The summer school was an amazingly stimulating and positive experience in academic computer science, and no doubt contributed to my decision to enter graduate school at Berkeley two years later.
I have been deeply influenced by his work on formal techniques. I haven't proved any real programs correct, but very often, thinking "how would I prove this correct?" has led to a better solution. His exposition of weakest preconditions was an intellectual delight, providing deep insight into the basic stuff that programs are made of.
Dijkstra possessed a bright, clear vision of how we should program. To him, programs were theorems, and programming was essentially the same as working out proofs. Over time, he developed a distinct style of writing proofs, emphasizing simplicity and straightforward application of steps.
Today, his vision is, sadly, still exciting and bold. In a more perfect world, the computer industry would have embraced his ideas, and much programming today would be organized around writing provably correct programs. Many of Dijkstra's beautiful, angry essays took the world to task for short-sightedness, upholding the ideals of intellectual rigor and simple, systematic design.
His formal techniques and style have not become wildly popular, but I believe they have been deeply influential nonetheless, through his patient teaching and clear writing. I am sure that when, some day, computing progresses from its current crude, alchemical practice to a real science, it will resemble Dijkstra's vision, and published work, much more closely than the bloated, corporate-designed messes we're saddled with today.
Now that Dijkstra has passed on, it falls to our generation to carry his ideals forward. Let us strive for simplicity in all our work. Let us strive to choose the right path, even when a shortcut seems more expedient.

Minsi is our breeds newest Master National Hunter/ MNH by Qualifing in 2009-2011 & 2013.
I dont even know where to start or who to thank first.
Mike & Sandy Berube (Long Pond Kennel. Maine) for breeding such an awesome dog to start with. Jim Seible (Cross Creek Kennel. PA) my mentor and good friend/trainer for the out standing job he has done preparing Minsi for Master level work.
Mike Berube whelped a litter of puppies while on his winter training trip to the Thomasville, GA area some 8 years ago on March 25, 2005. Little did he know at the time, where he and the little sedge puppy would end up. Not at one, but three Master Nationals where Mike and Minsi became one of the top Chesapeake/handler teams. Mike has qualified for, pre-national trained and handled Minsi in all three Master Nationals. Mike is a true Professional and a great friend. Thank You Sir.
This was not only Minsi's Hall of Fame run but her farewell tour as well. It is time for Minsi to come home and stay home. We have Teal, Lena and Hydro, all Minsi puppies to pick up where mommy left off.
Just wanted to share, thanks for reading.
Best Wishes,
Jeff Wilson...........

Contact Pacific Southwest Waste Program
Pacific Southwest, Region 9
Serving: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Pacific Islands, Tribal Nations
Riding the Rails to Land Revitalization
Carolyn Douglas, Regional Brownfields Coordinator for EPA Region 9, joined Fremont Mayor Bob Wasserman and other city officials at a ground breaking ceremony in Fremont, Calif. where the Fremont Redevelopment Agency will use $200,000 in Brownfields funding to revitalize the historic downtown Niles Square. Now an abandoned rail yard, Niles Square is contaminated with arsenic, lead and petroleum hydrocarbons.
Fremont's July 12th groundbreaking celebrated the future redevelopment of Niles Town Plaza, a new public mixed-use development.
"EPA's Waste Management Division is looking forward to working with Fremont on this innovative land revitalization project," said Dave Hodges, Brownfields Project Manager. "Fremont was selected from a number of applicants for a Brownfields grant because of its demonstrated commitment to environmental protection and economic improvement."
EPA is one of several project partners contributing to the property's revitalization. The City worked closely with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, the Alameda County Water District, and the Fremont community to develop a health-protective plan to clean up the site.
The historic Niles District of Fremont was once a vibrant commercial district with a rich railroad heritage, dating back to the building of the original transcontinental railroad. Much of the Niles commercial district was designated a Redevelopment Project Area due to blighted conditions resulting from the decline of rail transportation and the loss of agricultural and industrial employment that took place during the post-World War II decades. The estimated remediation budget is $4,300,000 and the project will remove 16,700 tons of soil contaminated with elevated levels of arsenic, lead and petroleum hydrocarbons.
Post-cleanup redevelopment plans include a central plaza with mixed-use retail and new and affordable housing units. The envisioned plaza would serve as a community gathering place that attracts investment and new jobs, and enhances tax revenues. Redevelopment plans feature two restored historic train buildings, a fountain, pedestrian walkways, attractive landscaping, and a slightly-sloped amphitheatre with a seat wall. The Redevelopment Agency anticipates completing the first phase of soil removal by the fall. Construction of the plaza will begin in late 2007.

Everything you need to know about the weekend coverage of Israel and the Mideast.
Today's top stories: freedom of speech getting worse in Egypt, Iranian ships dock in Syria, and former Mossad head speaks to the LA Times.
Join the Media Cheat Sheet Page on Facebook.
Israel and the Palestinians
• Isabel Kershner is the latest reporter to look at the IDF's treatment of Palestinian minors. HR addressed similar stories in recent months.
• Hunger strike of Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan reaches 63 days and continues to draw international attention, most recently from Catherine Ashton, the EU's foreign policy chief.
• CIF Watch takes on Pheobe Greenwood's story from the Telegraph covering last week's tragic bus accident but including the fact that two people posted nasty comments in a the Facebook thread of the story.
• David Ha'ivri decries accusations of racism against Israel.
In Israel (West Bank area included,) Arab residents enjoy the kind of freedom and security that many in neighboring countries can only dream of – but they generally expect Israel to be better than others. The fact that Arabs are being oppressed, beaten and slaughtered by dictators in Arab countries is of no consolation to Israeli Arabs who are delayed at security checkpoints.
Iranian Atomic Urgency
• Former Mossad head Efraim Halevy gives LA Times a Q+A on the Syrian situation and how it relates to Iran.
How does Israel ensure that Iran is defeated in Syria? Wouldn't it backfire if Israel were seen to be involved?
Israel shouldn't be directly involved for obvious reasons. Once Israel enters the fray, this becomes an Israeli-Arab or Israeli-Muslim confrontation, which deflects attention from the main issues of Sunni-Shiite, and the Shiite repression of a majority in a foreign country. Israel should promote through its channels with major powers in the world a dialogue between leaders in Western nations and Russia to try to forge a common policy on Syria, which would entail mutual concessions at the American and Russian level.
• CNN's Fareed Zakaria interviews Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
• Iranian warships dock in Syria.
Spring Winter
• Freedom House official gets Wall Street Journal op-ed space to lament the worsening situation in Egypt since the fall of Mubarak.
The repression of civil society is far worse than anything seen under Mr. Mubarak. In the past, Egyptian groups were routinely harassed and occasionally shut down, but they never faced the kind of large-scale investigation that is going on now. Similarly, foreign democracy-assistance organizations encountered some interference but were tolerated by Mr. Mubarak's regime. They have operated openly, and have never before had their offices shuttered, their foreign staff prevented from leaving the country, or their staff threatened with criminal prosecution.
• US officials to NBC News: Drones are monitoring Syria clashes.
Rest O' the Roundup
• Normal Finkelstein calls out the BDS movement, calling it dishonest and referring to it as a cult.
• Turns out, Americans love Israel after all. Gallup poll shows Israel 8th most beloved country.
• HR Canada scores nice victory with CBC, as ombudsman rebukes station for Middle East coverage.
• Prime Minister calls Dr. Yehuda David a hero for fighting for the truth about Jamal al-Dura, father of Muhammad al-Dura.
• Israel Hayom looks at the efforts of Phillipe Karsenty and Dr. Yehuda David on the al-Dura story and of Steven Sugar on the BBC's Balen Report.
• Stephen Walt, co-author of the Israel Lobby, weighs in on the Twitter controversy surrounding newly appointed New York Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief Jodi Rudoren.

I've resurrected an old 2d project that died a couple of years ago, trying to fix what killed it originally. It's a space game in the spirit of Space Pirates and Zombies or the old Escape Velocity-- ship combat, trading and upgrading, basically, except that the map practically has no end. Aside from technical problems, the original game suffered from lack of direction in that you could wander and collect and sell resources and do a tiny bit of fighting but there wasn't much point to it all.
So I'm now trying out procedural leveling and questing to try to give the gameplay more meaning and am looking for feedback on a couple of points:
First, concept overall and any general thoughts/ideas/cautionary tales are welcome.
More specifically, the upgrading: I'm going for simple linear leveling of ship systems in order to allow procedural advancement and let you compare yourself to others. Leveling is a matter of having a system (engine, sensor, shield) of class X. Higher systems cost more, but I can't control grinding so I'm dividing space into settled regions with each having 5 to 10 levels of upgrades. ("Wilderness" bounds these regions and features survival gameplay, equipment degradation, random loot/artifacts and possibly perma-death with the option to "fast travel" between civilized regions as a reward for questing.)
I'm assuming that challenges with this system will be a bit arbitrary. Instead of hit points, damage from things like weapons or anomalies versus defenses is a matter of the difference between class. A ship with class X shields versus class X laser fire can take about 8 to 10 hits, but only 6 to 8 hits from class X + 1 fire and so on. It's balanced now so that something 5 classes above you will one or two shot you while something five classes below can barely touch you.
Procedural questing is sketchy. I see a mix of low reputation earning linear quests (fetch, kill) and high rep earning puzzle solving with story elements similar to the old Starflight or Star Control: Clue hunting, pumping NPCs for info and whatever RPG skills I can squeeze in (hack, steal, bribe, etc.) all culminating in gathering items that will solve the quest. Story is conveyed low-fi via text from messages found / stolen and (hopefully passable) generated dialog. Solving the main quest opens fast travel to safe civilized regions and random special artifacts.
Not yet sure what failure means nor whether to play with regions having timed quests. I'm thinking losing all advancement in the new region or maybe you have to risk the wilderness.
That's the basics. Main worry so far is not making the universe generic, which I think regions & loot will help and whether or not procedural questing will actually work (story who/what/why is dicey, as is decent procedurally generated characterization through dialogue).
