Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Justin and I am new to this forum. I have been doing some research trying to find lab breeders in my area and I have continually ran into information on this site. I hope to find a pup this spring/summer but I am trying to obtain as much knowledge as possible in the mean time. I am looking for a dog that will join me in the duck blinds on the weekends and this site seems like a good place to start for training both me and the dog.
If anyone has any tips for a total newbie on finding and training a pup in the western pa area please let me know. I have seen a few of the retriever clubs in my area and will be looking more into those.

One of the unexpected gems I received. Crew members on the LCT manning a 20mm gun.
One of the unexpected gems I received. Crew members on the LCT manning a 20mm gun.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
...and for those wondering what an LCT (Landing Craft Tank) looks like, here ya go:
(This image was also sent to me)
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
FYI, in the next week or so, PBS is airing a three-part series called Nazi Mega-Weapons. Tanks and the Me-262 are two of the weapons to be featured.
PBS aired the first segment last year, and it featured the Atlantic Wall and the V2 rocket.
Here's the link to the new updates:
Another revelation with my contact was finding out that LCT 1071 was the flagship for its group!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Played tourist and visited the National WWII Museum in New Orleans when I was there last week. In the last few years, the National D-Day Museum turned into the National WWII Museum, but the main building's focus is on D-Day.
Wow, what can I say. I was there 2 1/2 hours and it wasn't nearly enough time. I would've loved to have stayed longer but the people I were with were a little bored. They patiently waited on me while I walked around.
When you first walk in, there's a restored C-47 and Spitfire in invasion colors suspended from the ceiling, and a landing craft off to the side. Impressive.
Lot of artifacts donated from D-Day participants. Lot of video/audio testimonials. The one that caught my attention was from an 82nd Airborne para named Arthur 'Dutch' Schultz. He's profiled in the book and movie, The Longest Day. In the movie, he's the para who wins big playing craps but experiences guilt and then loses it all. He had a video testimonial about the training leading up to the invasion, and he donated a WWI knuckle-knife to the exhibit. I thought, I've read about this guy for 30 years, and now I heard his voice!
A second building across the street houses a massive aircraft exhibit. The prize is a B-17 that was recovered from Greenland where it was buried in ice for 50+ years. There was the Mustang, a Corsair F4U, Dauntless dive bomber, a B-25 and a few others.
If you get to NOLA, I highly recommend taking at least a half-day and visiting the museum. Glad I did.
I'm a bit late in saying this but Happy VE Day + 69 Years.
The National D Day Museum is very much on my to do list, I've heard good things about it in the past and your post OC only makes me want to check it out even more!
I easily could've spent the entire day at the museum. There was so much to see, and I only scratched the surface. There was a temporary exhibit on the Japanese-American internment camps that I missed completely. There was an hour-long retrospective movie that I didn't have time to see, and there was an exhibit/movie on the USS Tang which I skipped.
Three new exhibit areas are opening up over the next three years. One of them is focusing on the Pacific theatre. It will be something to see once it's all completed.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!

So, remember last year when I was upset at not being able to score an ARC Troopers Battle Pack, and people were like "What are you upset about? Just wait until April and you can get one when they hit stores!"
Well...it's August...and I didn't see any in stories...and they're going for upwards of $115 on eBay.
Someone tell me I missed the announcement that Hasbro is going to be making more of these in the future, because otherwise I'm not going to get one.

Line in the Dirt
Dear Alibi,
[RE: Newscity, "Building Boundaries," Nov. 23-29] I really don't think it is that big of a deal that the Four Hills residents want their kids to go to Manzano. It is only a matter of about nine students transferring from Highland. Some Highland proponents may see it as a race and class issue, but who cares? I think they would be better off without the rich kids there, anyway.
The argument that the empty buses from Four Hills to Highland is a waste of taxpayer money is a good enough one for me, though I don't see why these richer people couldn't drive their kids to school in their big SUVs.
Personally, I really don't care. I attend Freedom High School, so this doesn't really affect me in any way. I am happy with my school and I think everybody should have a choice as to what school their children attend. Lines drawn in the dirt shouldn't have anything to do with their educations.

Grab Your Skis
Dear Alibi,
[RE: Letters, "No Pot for the Don," Dec. 7-13] Ya know, Don, if there is a hell, one could probably ski there about now, because for the first time I remember, I find myself agreeing with most of what you said in your letter about marijuana. "Most" being the key word, however.
While I do not necessarily believe that doctors should basically be handing a bong and roach clip to patients, I do believe there are legitimate medical uses for marijuana. In smoking form, marijuana is at the folk medicine level. While there are certain positive results, one also gets the negative ones, such as damage to the lungs, and of course getting high. As I understand it, the general rule of thumb with medicine is that if the patient gets high, it usually means they are misusing the medication.
Strangely enough, marijuana gets a lot more negative press than several other much more dangerous substances. This may be why there's been so little research into its legitimate uses in medicine. Other drugs, such as opium and even cocaine, have found their way into mainstream medicine. Two examples that come to mind are morphine (an opiate, as I understand), and novocaine (from cocaine).
Again, while I certainly don't encourage drug use just to get high, I do think we seriously need to look into marijuana's potential for medicine. If we blindly shun it (or any other substance) just because some people misuse it and get high, we may be throwing away some potentially important medicines.

Very Low Food Security
Dear Alibi,
[RE: Ortiz y Pino, "The Cellar Door," Dec. 7-13] While I agree with Jerry's opinion, I feel the need to address the problem of poverty in this great nation. Yes, education is important, but that will not in itself end poverty. With 37 percent of all people in United States officially classified as living in poverty at least two months out of the year, and 15.6 million living in severe poverty (with incomes below half of the poverty line), we need to take strong action.
I don't pretend to have any expertise on the subject of ending poverty but I do have questions. With this knowledge of the people living in poverty, how can Congress pass tax cuts for the wealthy? According to The Heritage Foundation, "The federal government cannot account for $24.5 billion spent in 2003, and that Washington spends $60 billion annually on corporate welfare." When are we going to learn from our mistakes and stop engaging in futile wars?
We can end poverty if we will it. We have the resources, but we are not making the effort to use them for the good of all. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were the goals of our founding fathers in our declaration of independence. But how does one pursue happiness when all of your time is spent worrying about just feeding your children?

Dear Alibi,
On Monday, Nov. 27, I was invited to speak to Mr. John Lopez' classes on government at Albuquerque High School. He had recently allowed a former student to speak to the class on job opportunities in the military. I was invited to present a different slant on the opportunities he spoke of.
We both took our discussions beyond job opportunities and educational benefits.
My four sons all attended APS schools. One graduated out of state. My opinion of APS at that time was excellent. My high school experience was at Eldorado. Having only heard about goings on in our schools by watching the TV news and reading the paper, I was concerned about going to Albuquerque High. I would like to commend all of the staff and the students. The campus, the main building and the classroom I attended were all very well kept. The staff were all very professional and friendly. The students were very pleasant, many smiling at me with little encouragement. I was so pleased to see that my belief in the public schools in Albuquerque has not been misplaced.
The experience in Mr. Lopez' class was exceptional. We are very fortunate that Mr. Lopez is teaching in our city. He had excellent rapport with his students. His presentation of the class information seemed fine and he was quick with praise and encouragement to every student--he reminded me of some of my best teachers when I was in high school.
I would hope that you would put a copy of this letter into Mr. Lopez' records and to the principal of Albuquerque High School. I believe that when people do their jobs well, they should be recognized.
This experience proved to me that my vote in favor of the last school bond issue was a good investment in a good system.

|GTA V Latest News | #GTAV | #GTAOnline
2010 San Andreas is North America's third best selling game since 1995
GTA: San Andreas - General News | @ 07:47 AM MDT | By Neil
Statistic tracking firm NPD has revealed a list of the top ten video games sold in North America since it began recording data back in 1995. According to the firm, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the third biggest seller in that time.
In the data provided to Industry Gamers, San Andreas is the only Grand Theft Auto title ranked in the top ten. Wii Play and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock managed to beat it to the higher spots.
It's interesting that Grand Theft Auto IV doesn't make an appearance in the list, despite recording extremely impressive early sales. It looks like the game lost a significant amount of momentum following its huge launch and the incredible success of Nintendo's Wii games can't have helped either.

Problems Discussed in Counseling
Students come to the Counseling Center for a variety of reasons. They may be concerned about academic difficulties such as problems with memory, concentration, or procrastination. They may be feeling uncertain or worried about a career direction or choice of a major. Or, they may be having difficulties with relationships whether with parents, friends, romantic partners or roommates. Some may be struggling with issues of sexuality, including sexual orientation; others may have concerns about food, eating or body image. Still others may be experiencing problems with depression, anxiety, victimization, substance abuse or self-esteem.
Any of these problems, as well as innumerable others, are appropriate to bring to the Counseling Center.
Although many of these problems are within the range of normal, developmental issues, we can also help with even the most serious concerns. But regardless of the issue, coming for counseling does not mean you are "crazy," and given how hard life can be, talking with a professional counselor may be the sanest thing you can do. You need not even know clearly what is troubling you. Often, simply the process of talking with a trained and responsive listener will help to clarify and define the problem.

|YourMechanic Price
|Shop/Dealer Price
|1992 Mercedes-Benz 400SEV8-4.2L
|Service typeValve Cover Gasket Replacement
|YourMechanic Price$187.81
|Shop/Dealer Price$251.37 - $322.00
Real customer reviews from Mercedes-Benz owners like you.
The valve cover is a metal cover that is found on very top of the engine. The valve cover is attached to the engine by a gasket made of rubber or cork. The valve cover and gasket seal the top of the engine and prevent oil leaks. These covers are removable so the mechanic can access the valves for adjustment. Because of the high temperature of the engine, it is common for the valve cover gasket to get brittle and break. If the gasket is worn out, it will leak engine oil and the top of the engine will be covered in oil. Since the engine is losing oil, running the car for too long without an inspection and repair can cause engine damage.

$149 - http://www.hawkeyemedia.net/fundamentals.html
I definitely plan on getting it as soon as it's available. Bills other programs are too good to not have everything else he produces.
As always too it wouldnt be possible without Mrs. Mary! Thanks!
E-mail sent from the site;It has been a while since I sent out a note on what has been happening here.
We've been really busy; primarily becausefor the past 2 years - we've been filming and puttingtogether the new video on Basic Training or Fundamentals.It's now finished. . .. . and should be available soon. . .maybe in as little as 3 weeks (Just depends on printing time)But what are Fundamentals? Since I finished filming I havebeen thinking more about fundamentals as I view thesubject. .. .for me it's really a time when you develop the waya dog is. ... From the time you first start training a puppyand on thru basic training, you are molding what thedog will be like.What could be more important?Essentially, the process of training, not just commands andconcepts, is the procedure of creating attitudes like courage,enthusiasm, dedication, passion for work etc. So, because ofthis, I pay very close attention to making sure that the dog,as he goes thru this development, thinks and believes thatretrieving is a wonderful game, and that it is fun.To summarize, Fundamentals are far more than the Basic Skills.It is during this time that the dog develops and how he becomesthe dog that you want him to be.Anyway, the project is on the way. I'll let you knowin a week or two the exact date.

|Inflatable Watercraft Rafts, pontoon boats, kickboats, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
That was a major screwup. Those were the COMPLETELY wrong oars for that boat. Glad they made that change for you.
The are going to fix it!!!
I called Bad Cat River boats and they offered to get me bigger oars even if it costs them money. I didn't even have to ask. Very cool. :hehe: He had me send them the oars.
I am impressed. They also sent me some braces for the oar towers -- and I didn't ask for those either!!!
Who sold you the kickboat oars????
You should NEVER have been given a set of those diameter oars on a 12' boat. You should only have been supplied the standard diameter oars. I didn't realize they made the smaller diameter oars in an 8 1/2-9' length (which you should be using on a 12' boat). I'd go back to whoever it was that sold you those and tell them you want some sort of refund and/or upgrade free (minus any cost difference) to the correct oars. It was probably too much pressure that broke them. The amount of pressure vs. boat size/weight would automatically cause too much flex on them. Those smaller diameter sizes are meant for 9' and under sized boats ONLY! I had a set for my old 9' Steelheader and eventually sold them off and used my spare set of 8' full sized cataracts on it. Worked great.
It isn't the oars, more then likely it was the overkill (like trying to land a 50# king on a 3wt), you can do it but won't be pretty or dependable.
Broken Oar
I sure am having fun with my 12' pontoon boat!
But I broke a Cataract Kick boat style oar (1 3/8" diameter) this last weekend!
The crazy thing is that I don't think it was on a rock -- but I am not sure.
I was going down into the trough of a fairly big rapid on the S.Fork of the Santiam (about 1/2 mile below Sweet Home) and I pulled back on the oars to keep my 79 year old Father-in-law from getting splashed too much. He hardly got wet at all but the oar snapped in half right at the oarlock.
The adrenalin was pumping and I was standing on the foot pegs off the seat and almost vertical when I pulled on the oars.
Question: Is it possible that it was just water and not on a rock?
The oars are only a couple of months old. Does anyone know if Cataract will cover them under waranty? The place where I bought the boat is contacting Cataract for me.

"Homegrown violent jihadist activity since 9/11 defies easy categorization. No workable general profile of domestic violent jihadists exists. According to CRS analysis, the 63 plots since 9/11 exhibit four broad themes: a variety of endgames, little stomach for suicide or martyrdom among plotters, successful attacks by lone wolves, and a wide range of capabilities among the plots."
"Homegrown" is the term that describes terrorist activity or plots perpetrated within the United States or abroad by American citizens, legal permanent residents, or visitors radicalized largely within the United States. The term "jihadist" describes radicalized individuals using Islam as an ideological and/or religious justification for their belief in the establishment of a global caliphate, or jurisdiction governed by a Muslim civil and religious leader known as a caliph.
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) estimates that there have been 63 homegrown violent jihadist plots or attacks in the United States since September 11, 2001 (9/11). As part of a muchdiscussed apparent expansion of terrorist activity in the United States, from May 2009 through December 2012, arrests were made for 42 "homegrown," jihadist-inspired terrorist plots by American citizens or legal permanent residents of the United States. Two of these resulted in attacks. Most of the 2009-2012 homegrown plots likely reflect a trend in jihadist terrorist activity away from schemes directed by core members of significant terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda. However, it may be too early to tell how sustained this uptick is. While in 2010 and 2011, there were 12 and 10 plots, respectively, in 2012, eight came to light. Regardless, the apparent spike in such activity after April 2009 suggests that ideologies supporting violent jihad continue to influence some Americans—even if a tiny minority.

The only thing we all care about is our country. We want it to be strong and free for our children to grow up in.. We want the American people to stop looking to the Federal Government for help every time something goes wrong. That is what your states are for. Federal Governments are there to protect us from the world. The state governments are there to help us when we fall and need a hand up.
Some where along the line these two concepts got confused. We need to get back to the way it was designed.
My opinion
We have had a lot of lousy Presidents Obama just happens to be the first Half Black one so if you dont like him your a racist.
Are we going to count how many black friends we have? how many blacks are on the left how many are on the right? How many do we have to have not to be racist? 2,4 8 ? Obama has Very strong ties to the Muslim world thats a fact you can read his speech that he gave in Egypt in 2009 . http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/0..._n_211216.html Alot of people thought Bush was horrible some hated Clinton some Jimmy Carter etc... you can dislike him as a President doesnt mean you are racist and its a shame some think that way as soon as your against him they play the race card like he did to Hillary back in 2008

Orwell's Lies: His Diaries Reveal Problems with the Truth
Journalists love George Orwell as if he's Sergeant Pepper: everybody who has read "Politics and the English Language" wanted to become a writer. Orwell made his hatred of imprecision, euphemisms, and stock phrases the basis of the war against the wrongs of the world—and the Fascists. "The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink," he wrote in the essay, a manifesto, manual, and propaganda pamphlet all rolled into one. "I should expect to find—this is a guess which I have not sufficient knowledge to verify—that the German, Russian and Italian languages have all deteriorated in the last ten or fifteen years, as a result of dictatorship."
It is through Orwell's voice that many journalists see themselves not only as investigators of truth but guardians of morality. You might think those two roles are one and the same. But they are not. Orwell was most surely a guardian but he was something else when it came to the truth. A close comparison of Orwell's books with his Diaries—which have just been published in the U.S. with a new introduction by the late Christopher Hitchens—would reveal the important difference. (Every entry is also being posted 70 years to the day on the Orwell Diaries blog.)
Orwell was born Eric Blair, the son of a civil servant in the Opium Department of the Indian government, and had a standard—even blessed—middle-class upbringing. He went to the preparatory school St. Cyprian (for boys from 4 to 14) and then to the prestigious school Eton. How we would benefit from even just one diary entry from his youth! Alas, Orwell did not keep his first diary until he was almost 30. By 1931 he had already chosen one of his chief obsessions—poverty—and he started recording his time working in the Kent hop fields that fall. The next diary to survive recounted his journey from London to Wigan, a town that "has always been picked on as a symbol of the ugliness of the industrial areas," as he said on a radio program years later. The Road to Wigan Pier was published in 1937. There is a celebrated passage of Orwell's apparent power as a removed but penetrating reporter:
The train bore me away … we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment. At the back of one of the house a young woman was kneeling on the stones, poking a stick up the leaden waste-pipe which ran from the sink inside and which I suppose was blocked. I had time to see everything about her—her sacking apron, her clumsy clogs, her arms reddened by the cold. She looked up as the train passed, and I was almost near enough to catch her eye. … She knew well enough what was happening to her—understood as well as I did how dreadful a destiny it was to be kneeling there in the bitter cold, on the slimy stones of a slum backyard, poking a stick up a foul drain-pipe.
As noted by Peter Davidson, editor of the new volume of diaries, "I was almost near enough to catch her eye" distances this middle-class intellectual from his impoverished subjects. The passage sets up the rest of The Road to Wigan Pier, whose second half is a fierce essay examining Orwell's own middle-class upbringing, why such suffering as witnessed in Wigan cannot be tolerated, and why it is so difficult to install socialism. Generations of aspiring reporters have looked up to Orwell's ability to get to the heart of the matter and connect with "the slum girl who is 25 and looks 40," despite his elevation—on a train.
Except Orwell wasn't riding a train when he saw the girl. In his February 15, 1936 diary entry, you'll find this:
Passing up a horrible squalid side-alley, saw a woman, youngish but very pale and with the usual draggled exhausted look, kneeling by the gutter outside a house and poking a stick up the leaden waste-pipe, which was blocked. I thought how dreadful a destiny it was to be kneeling in the gutter in a back-alley in Wigan, in the bitter cold, prodding a stick up a blocked drain. At that moment she looked up and caught my eye, and her expression was as desolate as I have ever seen; it struck me that she was thinking just the same thing as I was.
What a difference a few words make! In reality, Orwell was walking up an alley, and encountering a girl kneeling by the gutter, he processed such a scene. It is only his feeling of dread that we are sure of, and any reciprocation on the woman's part is purely his interpretation. Orwell is nothing if not precise in his choices—he had sentiment to deliver, and he used the devices necessary to do so.
How much artistic license should we afford Orwell? The amount of invention in the drain-pipe incident is small but telling, yet it's hardly the only example. For decades now writers and journalists have been chipping away at the myth of Orwell to reveal some of the truth. Orwell's biographer Bernard Crick was among the first to question much of Orwell's reporting. There's no denying that Orwell was a very, very good writer—we know that from the above passage and classic reportage such as "Shooting an Elephant," an account of his time as a member of the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, where he had to kill an elephant because it had trampled a man to death during a rampage. It is a marvelous thing to witness the piece open out into an indictment of imperialism: "Here was I, the white man with his gun, standing in front of the unarmed native crowd – seemingly the leading actor of the piece; but in reality I was only an absurd puppet pushed to and fro by the will of those yellow faces behind. I perceived in this moment that when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys."
Crick was not so certain. Once, he was having dinner with Orwell's widow, Sonia, when he imprudently questioned whether her dead husband had actually shot an elephant. Sonia exploded. "Of course he shot a fucking elephant. He said he did. Why do you always doubt his fucking word!" Crick later found an old Burmese witness who said that Orwell did shoot an elephant, but the beast might not have gone on a rampage and killed a man.
Crick also questioned the authenticity of another piece, "A Hanging." He's not sure Orwell ever attended an execution, or if he did, he might not have attended the specific one described in the essay. (Orwell never mentions the crime that the man committed.) Others have also found exaggerations in Homage to Catalonia.
It is possible to question whether Orwell lived up to his expectations of truth-telling and still admire those standards—Crick was an admirer who was Orwell's standard-bearer. A terrible bummer for Sonia that Crick decided to apply Orwell's test on Orwell. Despite these questions, there is no difficulty in holding his writing in very high regard. But the trouble is that Orwell very much embodied his unflattering pronouncement that "all art is to some extent propaganda." For all his passionate will, we are reminded that language was at the service of Orwell, and Orwell was at the service of his politics, prescient and admirable though those views were. He once said that he could have been a harmless art-for-art's-sake writer, like the Bloomsburies, whom he would come to loathe.
Too bad Orwell distrusted art. He lived in a time of war, and there was no room for meaningless ornamental writing. All issues are political issues, he said, "and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia." He was not opposed to bending the truth to win. Perhaps he was more similar to those politicians and spin doctors who can "make lies sound truthful and murder respectable," than he recognized. It's a squeamishly high expectation to ask that someone speak the truth always, but in this time of Jonah Lehrer missteps and cable "news" saturation, the necessity of Orwell's demands are clear. The truth is ugly, but you have to tell it.
Orwell was a fervent defender of such a motto. "Life was hierarchical and whatever happened was right. There were the strong, who deserved to win and always did win, and there were the weak, who deserved to lose and always did lose, everlastingly," he wrote in "Such, Such Were the Joys," a rage- and pain-filled indictment of his days at his school St. Cyprian, which was too scathing to publish during his lifetime. The propensity for negativity began early. The first diary entry in this volume is about a law that beds in lodging houses must be further apart, which you'd think he would approve of. No such luck. "There is not and never will be a law to say that the beds must be reasonably comfortable," he quipped.
Drink in Orwell's essays and criticism and you'll quickly be accustomed to such humor and insight occurring at the rate of every other sentence or so. That is not the Orwell you will encounter often in the Diaries, for it takes sizeable and frequent artifice to make literature as entertaining and penetrating as "Shooting an Elephant." In reality, most days are mundane; Orwell's overwhelming concerns were for his goats and hens. There's hardly any social intrigue in his diaries—a form which, ever since the days of Samuel Pepys, has been judged by a gossip-meter. The critic Cyril Connolly, Orwell's friend from his school days, is mentioned in passing only a few times. He receives an abusive letter from H.G. Wells, "who addresses me as 'You shit,' among other things," which is about as exciting as it gets. The familiar names of his books 1984, Animal Farm, or Homage to Catalonia will not greet you in your journey through his days.
Without the choreographed truth-embellishing dance found in his published work, the truth emerges. What he loved to do was count the number of eggs his hens laid. He made a hobby of learning about the flowers he planted and the flora around them. He compared the sizes of domesticated animals everywhere he went. He surveyed the available newspapers whenever he arrived in a new town. He began most entries with the weather. This is not exciting reading. Literature—certainly fiction—is a form of lying, and "this commerce with untruth has made readers uncomfortable," as James Wood said. Orwell wrote some fiction, but 1984 and Animal Farm are "idea" novels, and it is his nonfiction that rise highest in the literary temple. Orwell needed a certain level of artifice to maintain verisimilitude. With his diaries, he seems to be saying: you want the truth? You asked for it. Here it is. Look: no train.
In the end, who was George Orwell? With the embellishment stripped bare, the diaries present a nastier, more easily irritated side of the man. From the pages of the Daily Telegraph he would read a letter from a Lady Oxford who complained that the war has forced "most people" to part with their cooks. "Apparently nothing will ever teach these people that the other 99 percent of the population exist," Orwell wrote. No wonder he chose to live so often with those in poverty—true, he was scouting for material, but he also seemed to have truly preferred their company over the social elites, whom he wished would disappear, not quite acknowledging that such vicious classism nudges him rather closer to Stalin, Mao, and some of his other favorite villains.
In January of 1949 he was admitted to Cranham Sanatorium for tuberculosis, and was still there on April 17, when he wrote about being uncomfortable in the most expensive block of the hospital and hearing the voices of upper-class English visitors:
A sort of over-fedness, a fatuous self-confidence, a constant bah-bahing of laughter about nothing, above all a sort of heaviness and richness combined with a fundamental ill-will—people who, one instinctively feels, without even being able to see them, are the enemies of anything intelligent or sensitive or beautiful. No wonder everyone hates us so.
So goes the last entry in Diaries. Orwell died of a massive hemorrhage of the lungs in the early hours of January 21, 1950. On his headstone is inscribed a simple, ineradicable fact: "Here Lies Eric Arthur Blair."

Assignment: Education - Spirit Chain Business
Holmen Special Education Students Start New Business
HOLMEN, Wis. - The buzz is in the air. Wrestling season has begun. And these Holmen High School students are helping to spread the love of the sport by selling spirit chains.
But theses special education students don't just sell the fancy key chains. They make them as part of the business their classroom has created.
These high school students are taught how to stock supplies, take personalized orders, make the key chains, and, of course, sell them in an effort to learn skills needed to be successful in a future job.
"The purpose of the business is to give students the opportunity to build job skills, get some vocational experience," said Brenda Swoboda, Holmen High School transition coordinator. "But then also make those social experience connections. So, we're also working with the entrepreneurship class at the high school to kind of build an inclusive business."17824938
You see... the entrepreneurship class runs the school store. And this year, the school store was looking for local vendors with new products to sell.
"We're actually really excited because all of them have student names on them. Students activities on them. Student sports. Everything that involves with the high school," said Gabbi Fasnacht, Holmen High School store manager.
Gabbi not only runs the school store, she has also volunteered to work with the special education students for the past couple of years. She thinks the key chains will be a big seller.
"They are very popular," said Fasnacht. "You can see kids walking around with their key chains, hangin' out of their pockets, and in their hand as they're headed out to their car."
It's this kind of support from students and parents that is strengthening the relationship with the special education students while teaching them important job skills.
"I think it's definitely broken down barriers," said Swoboda. "We're lucky here at Holmen High School because I think we have one of the most understanding and excepting student bodies ever. But I think this has helped enhance what we already had."

Too many tomaotes got you in a jam? Try TOMATO JAM!
Sometimes a homegrown tomato supply can be a feast or famine situation; after waiting forever for the first few fruits, they then all ripen at the same time. So, if you have had your fill of BLTs and tomato salads, maybe you would like to try this old fashioned favorite: tomato jam.
Tomato jam is rarely seen on the store shelves. Smucker's used to make it (don't know if they still do.) The only time I ever saw it on a menu was at Le Cellier Steakhouse at the Canada Pavilion at Disney World's EPCOT. It was spread on top of their open faced steak sandwich and it's flavor complimented the beef very nicely.
My mom made tomato jam every summer when I was a girl. and I often would help. I loved the way the jam looked in the jar with the lemon slices and cinnamon sticks showing through the glass. I also loved eating the jam on toast. When the jar was finally empty, it was a kid treat to suck on the cinnamon stick.
In my opinion, tomato jam goes rather well on light rye bread toast and served with scrambled eggs or cheese omelets.
Our recipe came from my Great Aunt Martha. Jam is best made in small batches. I usually just make the amount in 1 recipe. It makes about 4 cups of jam. You could process the jam in a water bath with canning jars and lids, but I just make it and keep it in the refrigerator. It keeps for a year or so.
Here it is:
Aunt Martha's Tomato Jam
1 1/2 lemons, washed, cut in quarters, then thin sliced. Remove pips.
3 Cups tomatoes that have been peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces.
4 Cups sugar
1/2 Tablespoon butter
Cinnamon stick 1 for each jar
Small jelly or jam jars, pints or half pint jars and lids (washed in a dishwasher or sterilized) These can be canning jars and lids or used jelly or jam jars and lids that have been washed.
The process:
In a stainless steel kettle 3 quart size or larger, put in 2 C. tomatoes and 2 C. sugar into the pot. Sir in the 1/2 Tablespoon of butter to prevent scum from forming. Boil for 5 minutes. Stir to prevent burning.
Without taking off the heat, add 1 C. mixed tomatoes and lemons and another C. sugar. Boil 5 minutes more.
Add last C. mixed tomatoes and lemons and last cup sugar. Boil 5 minutes more.
Take off heat. Be careful; this is hot stuff!
Put cinnamon stick into each jar. Ladle jam into the warm jars. (I keep them in a warm oven until needed.) Leave about 1/2 inch space at top of jar. Wipe the top edge of jar with clean, damp cloth. Put jar lid on and turn upside down then back. Set aside to cool. Often the jar lids will seal down without processing--even the recycled commercial jam jars. Put in refrigerator the next day for storage.
If you want to process the jam in a water bath so you don't have to refrigerate, use canning jars and lids. Process for 10 to 15 minutes for pints.
Sometimes the jam turns out stiff; sometimes it is thin. I think it might have something to do with the amount of pectin in the lemons? Regardless of the thickness, I love the stuff. Hope you will too.
I just picked most of my remaining green tomatoes. Hopefully, they will still ripen indoors. If so, maybe a batch of tomato jam is in my future too.

Saw Mara and the Stormtrooper at the Yucaipa Blvd Walgreen's in... Yucaipa, of all places. Didn't think they were worth WG prices (which aren't really much higher anymore), and left them, sad that there were none of the final half-wave of Joes.
So I'd not been keeping track of who's in what wave for the most part, so I guess the Beaumont Walmart got Wave 2 at some point, as I saw a lone Stormtrooper there a few weeks ago and it didn't register that he wasn't one of the carpy clones I've been seeing since summer.

Family: Sciuridae, Squirrels view all from this family
Description Back is brown, grayish or tawny; edge of the wing membrane is blackish. Hairs on belly are white at tips but dark gray at base. Otherwise like Southern Flying Squirrel except larger size. Often has pale patches of fur at the base of ears and a dark tail tip.
Dimensions 190-300mm, 90-140mm, 38-123g
Endangered Status Two Appalachian Mountain subspecies of the Northern Flying Squirrel are on the U.S. Endangered Species List. The Carolina Northern Flying Squirrel is classified as endangered in North Carolina and Tennessee, and the Virginia Northern Flying Squirrel is classified as endangered in Virginia and West Virginia. The Northern Flying Squirrel is a creature of the cool boreal forests of Alaska, Canada, and the far northern U.S. The two endangered subspecies are the most southerly of these squirrels, and were probably stranded in these now slightly warmer regions after the last ice age. As the climate warmed over the millenia and the habitat changed, their populations probably naturally declined. Nowadays the last of the Appalachian Mountain flying squirrels live in restricted, isolated habitats that are vulnerable to human disturbance as logging activity and ski areas and other recreational developments encroach upon them. Additionally, the more aggressive Southern Flying Squirrel tends to outcompete the Northern when the two overlap.
Habitat Forests & woodlands, Alpine & subalpine habitats
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska
Discussion Feed on fungi, fruit, nuts, seeds, small invertebrates, bird eggs, and occasionally on small mammals and birds. Known to visit bird feeding stations. Often common, but Endangered in North Carolina and Virginia. Most common near water in coniferous forests, less in mixed and pure hardwood forests.

Video: Student work: 'Open Spaces'
Posted September 27, 2010; 02:30 p.m.
Members of the Student Environmental Communication Network explore the significance of open spaces and profile a group working to preserve natural areas around Princeton.
Video Closed Captions
Open spaces are natural areas
where development has been set aside. Sometimes known as "green space," an open space could be a forest,
wetland, park or pond.
Dedicated nonprofit groups, like Friends of Princeton Open Space,
are striving to conserve these natural areas in our communities.
Steve Hiltner:
My name is Steve Hiltner. I'm natural resources manager for Friends of Princeton Open Space.
Steve Hiltner:
There's a lot of ecological services rendered through open space.
Steve Hiltner:
Well, a big part of it is clean water. The water that runs off this land is
Steve Hiltner:
essentially going to be our water supply, our drinking water, x-number of weeks later.
Steve Hiltner:
So, it's really important that the water that's running into these streams is clean.
The waters that flow through these lands support a vibrant ecosystem.
Steve Hiltner:
Biodiversity is having as many different species that have evolved in this area,
Steve Hiltner:
and the more different kinds of species you have living in balance with each other,
Steve Hiltner:
the stronger the ecosystem, the more resilient.
These various species live in balance with one another.
Steve Hiltner:
Of course, you have all the insect life that depends on the native plants, and then the birds depend on
Steve Hiltner:
those insects for survival, so there's this whole food chain that the
Steve Hiltner:
open space provides a basis for.
But these ecological havens are at risk.
Steve Hiltner:
Through climate change and through habitat loss and so forth, fragmentation of habitat,
Steve Hiltner:
you're essentially removing species one at a time, taking them out of the ecosystem
Steve Hiltner:
and making it ever more unstable and vulnerable.
Although open spaces are facing ever-greater threats from human development, human action
can also reverse this trend. We can all conserve open space by getting involved.
Spread awareness of the value of natural areas. Take a walk, hike, jog or just connect with nature.

Family: Sulidae, Boobies and Gannets view all from this family
Description ADULT Has essentially white body plumage with black wingtips (primaries). Note the buffy yellow wash to the head. JUVENILE Has dark brown plumage, speckled with white dots. 2nd-WINTER Similar to juvenile, but under_parts are mainly white; typically the head and neck are white except for a dark cap. 3rd-WINTER Recalls adult, but shows extensive dark feathering on the back and inner wings. 4th-WINTER Similar to adult, but some of the secondaries on the inner wing are dark.
Dimensions Length: 35-40" (89-102 cm)
Habitat Very locally common in North Atlantic, nesting in dense concentrations on precipitous sea cliffs, inaccessible to ground predators. Six colonies exist in North America, three on Atlantic coast of Newfoundland and three in Gulf of St. Lawrence. Outside breeding season, moves south down Atlantic seaboard.
Observation Tips Superb views can be had (May-Jul) at Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve on Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula. Otherwise, seen on pelagic trips and from headlands.
Range Eastern Canada, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, Southeast, New England
Voice Silent at sea, but nesting birds utter harsh grating calls.
Similar Species Masked Booby Sula dactylatra (L 32-33 in) adult is similar to adult Northern Gannet, but note that all flight feathers (not just primaries) are black and has black tail; face has black "mask" at base of bill. Juvenile is similar to juvenile Northern Gannet, but note the white neck and entirely white underwing coverts (only inner underwing coverts are white in Northern Gannet). Breeds on the Dry Tortuga islands and seen at sea in Gulf of Mexico in spring and summer; outside breeding season, range is oceanic and sometimes wanders north along Atlantic seaboard.
Discussion A distinctive species, and one of the largest seabirds in the region. Recognized in flight by its cigar-shaped body and long, narrow wings. Flies with deep, powerful wingbeats, but in strong winds it glides effortlessly on stiffly held wings. Bill is large and daggerlike. When a shoal of fish is discovered, groups of birds plunge-dive from a considerable height (100ft or so), providing an extraordinary spectacle. Sexes are similar, but adult plumage is acquired through successive molts over a five-year period.
