Just as fashion has undergone drastic changes throughout the years, the models who help bring the designs to life have evolved as well.
In the past, models were often a major factor in establishing society's standards of beauty. Now, as beauty standards become more inclusive, they're shaping the types of models we see making their way down the runway.
Here are 26 photos that show how models have evolved throughout the years.
Illustrator Charles Dana Gibson painted beautiful women in his "Gibson Girls" paintings from the 1900s.
Illustrator Charles Dana Gibson created the image of the "Gibson Girl" by observing various women in his daily life. One of the most famous models for the paintings was Camille Clifford, whose hourglass figure came to shape the ideal look for many American women.
The 1920s saw the rise of the Flapper, an image built on a more rebellious and free-spirited nature.
Flapper-style dresses — which often featured pleated skirts or fringe and feather detailing — and a sense of attitude came to dominate much of the imagery in the fashion industry.
Jean Shrimpton's various magazine covers in the 1960s established her as one of the first ever supermodels.
She appeared on several Vogue covers and was one of the most in-demand models of her time.
Beverly Johnson made history in 1974 when she became the first African-American model to grace the cover of Vogue.
Johnson's Vogue cover was a major milestone for inclusivity in the industry and paved the way for many women of color in the modeling business.
Christie Brinkley got her big break in the late '70s and went on to be hugely successful in the '80s as well.
She graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for three years in a row and also became the face of CoverGirl.
Kate Moss gained notoriety in the 1990s, becoming one of the most famous names in the fashion world.
Her Calvin Klein campaign with Mark Wahlberg made her an instant household name. Her popularity sparked a move toward a skinnier look in the industry, and Moss has famously — and controversially — said, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
Tyra Banks was a huge name in the '90s after becoming the first African-American woman to grace the cover of GQ and Sports Illustrated.
She's still one of the most prominent figures in fashion thanks to her tenure as a Victoria's Secret Angel and her hugely popular TV show, "America's Next Top Model."
Christy Turlington was so famous in the '90s that she was named the "Face of the 20th Century" by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
She was the face of brands such as Chanel, Marc Jacobs, and Maybelline.
Gisele Bündchen first appeared on the scene in the late '90s and has remained one of the highest-paid models in the world.
She earned $17.5 million in 2017, only out-earned by Kendall Jenner.
Heidi Klum walked her way to prominence as a Victoria's Secret Angel and by appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
She's maintained her popular status as both the host of "Project Runway" and the queen of Halloween costumes.
Brazilian-born Adriana Lima has become one of the most famous Victoria's Secret Angels since joining in 2000.
Lima is the highest-paid Angel, earning $10.5 million in 2017.
Karlie Kloss may now be known as a member of Taylor Swift's girl squad, but she got her start as a wildly successful model in the 2000s.
The popularity of Ashley Graham in recent years has led to more plus-size representation in mainstream modeling.
Graham's cover on the 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue solidified her status as one of the most influential models of the moment. She's recently graced the cover of Vogue, launched a lingerie line with Addition Elle, and is the new face of Revlon.
Jenner has walked several times in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and even landed a coveted spot on the cover of Vogue's September Issue in 2016.
She was the highest-paid model of 2017, earning a whopping $22 million. Much of this income is due to her impressive Instagram presence, which made her the fifth highest-paid celebrity on the app.
She made her New York Fashion Week debut in 2014 and has since gone on to walk for brands such as Chanel, Givenchy, and Victoria's Secret. Hadid also recently covered the March 2018 issue of Vogue.

We have been looking for a place that would appeal to adults and the kids. The weather forecast was hot and humid so we would prefer to be indoors. Since we are staying in the Back Bay area, we need something close. The Prudential Mall is out of the question. The Boston Public Library in Copley Square checks all that requirement.
Built in 1895, the library design is based on the Renaissance style similar to Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. It includes a large reading room and an open air central courtyard. It was the first urban library building in the nation.

MIT Museum and around Cambridge
There were so many museums to visit in Boston but we only can visit one for this trip. I don't want to cram all activities with kids in tow on a hot summer season. It is a recipe for meltdowns. I like to take my time looking at exhibits and read some facts or details on display.
We chose the MIT Museum in Cambridge. It would be a good reason to walk around the area beyond Boston. Another reason was to open up possibilities of learning science and technology for our kids.

Eataly Boston
We are big fans of Eataly New York. And since the mall is close to our hotel, we decided to stop by and maybe look around and get some gelato.
First impressions, it is a much smaller location than New York City since it is located inside the mall. It seems that it had a higher price point too based on the size ratio of the pastries.

Memorial Day Weekend in New York
We decided to stay in New York City for the weekend. One of our favorite places in NYC was the park, particularly Bryant Park. We love that it is centrally located and well maintained. There is always something to do in Bryant Park like Juggling Lessons. The kids love that they leave the equipment on the lawn for everyone to use.

Newport in May
It is always too difficult to book a room in Newport, Rhode Island. It is just way too popular even on off season. While we are now looking forward to warm weather in the East Coast, it takes a while till it gets warm in the New England States. Places like Newport that is close to the water takes way more longer because of the wind chill factor.

The Backbenchers : The Extra class! is a book written by Siddarth oberoi published by Grapevine Ltd. I bought this ebook in Flipkart and it is for some 50 bucks. Needless to say, Flipkart service is always good.
It's a story of Ananya, a small town girl moves to big delhi for her 12th standard school. Initially she was reluctant and consider herself misfit. Soon, she adjusts and made some new friends Yuvraj, Rishab, Radhica and Naman. Natasha, the head girl is a control freak; she controls the whole school including her puppy boyfriend Yuvraj.
Ananya was initially attracted to Yuvraj, since he is in relationship with Natasha, she kept this inside her heart. Did she finally got Yuvraj ? Whether Natasha and Yuvraj breakup ? What happen to Naman, Radica and Rishab ? was given in a more entertainment and realistic manner.
I would like to split the pros and cons of the book which will give you a clear idea to go for.
- It is an easy read has 17 chapters. one can finish it in 3 hours.
- It is somewhat similar to Chetan bhaghat because the language was easy and understandable.
- Scenes and dialogues are very gripping.
- It's very realistic, connecting facebook status inside was particularly good.
- Natasha was very lovable from the start.
- End connects to it's sequel.
The cons are
- It's for pure entertainment, don't look for any moral and all.
- No protagonist in the story.
- Some pages have only dialogues, don't know who is telling whom.
- It's too much for school (Guys with cars, Girls with short skirts, make out, breakup...)

President Obama had earlier added a few of his own mud collectors to the Oval Office, replacing china with mechanical gadgets and Native American pottery. The company that makes this house is certified by the EarthCraft House which means the home follows strict environmentally-friendly guidelines, is energy-environment friendly, and low-maintenance. An organized table itemizing all a hundred and ten Michigan Representatives and their contact info, together with workplace phone numbers and e-mail addresses. As an apart, it appears that the whole lot -doorways,windows, trim has light in the sun. Nor do accept Portable Hot Tubs,or Guests which wish to deliver Bands with them which might be clearly annoying to the Locals and Me if we staying in The Coach House -sorry please don't waste your time in enquiring.
Continue the scoring until you could have covered the interior of components C, D and E, including the lower landing section of the back (half C) which extends down under the bat house. If you are house is over 100k you should all the time ask for a discount, however ensure that your itemizing broker will nonetheless pay the full 3% to the patrons agent. For occasion, if seldom seen step-uncle Joe broke into the home I would deal with it otherwise than if grandma got here in the back door and took again her heirloom necklace.

Edward Gallagher Jr, opened his new growth referred to as Ednor Gardens and used rock blasted from the constructing website in home designs. We moved into a new home recently and the downstairs lavatory has what appears like darkish grey/black mould alongside one wall. White furry mould in your bed room, at the first floor level, cannot be rising damp, which would never rise that far. Once a suggestion's obtained they'll negotiate the promoting price, getting the best price doable for your own home for you. If you dont have the cash for it now, dont get it. belief me, credit cards DO NOT assist. The physique elements ruled by the third house are shoulders, arms, arms, lungs, the collar bone and the nervous system. This is the home that provides a clue about the way you get alongside with your Father, and the way your early years of life might be basically. The Mackinac Room is accessible to outside groups when sponsored by a Michigan House Member.
Almost uniquely amongst the towns within affordable commuter distance of London, Peterborough truly has three bedroom homes on the market from round £one zero five,000.(October 2016) Yes, it's true, the cathedral city of Peterborough in beautiful Cambridgeshire, is lower than one hour away from London's King's Cross station by rail, and yet has by some means escaped the worst results of the London ripple effect.
Most of you realize that now we have been in our little home eight now for a few weeks and in that point we now have created quit a multitude! Just one thing – the shorter the lease, the higher the lease – that's the only drawback. Ideal tourist sights are The Roman Baths and Abbey, the rooftop pool at Thermae Bath Spa, Jane Austen Centre, Stonehenge, Avebury, Lacock, Longleat Safari & Adventure Park and Castle Combe. Made of chipboard, this dream dwelling might shut up into a conveniently handled play set, in case younger women felt the need to carry every thing to a good friend's home or Grandma's. The was an extention constructed before we moved here 2.5 years in the past and there was damp after we moved in. We mounted the guttering and thought that had fixed it but having taking off the wall paper today I can see a massive patch of it, half on an exterior wall and half on an inner wall.

The holidays are quickly sneaking up on us and as always, I love to add a bit of new décor. To keep it inexpensive, I like to make what I can. Towels are always fun and because you can use fabric scraps and pick up tea towels at the dollar store, this is a super cheap way to add some fun to the kitchen or bath.
Here's what you need:
- A flour sack towel
- Material (scraps work great)
- Ribbon
- Thread
I prefer to wash my towel and fabric before I get started to avoid any potential shrinking or bleeding that could occur.
To start, first, you need to decide how full you like your ruffles. I like mine relatively full, so I used 3 times the length of fabric that I needed.
Once you have your fabric cut, you're ready to ruffle by using a basting stitch– all you need to do is set your machine to the longest stitch length and don't back-stitch. To ruffle, you just need to find your bottom threads and gently pull as you push your fabric towards the middle.
It is kind of silly – I avoided ruffling for years until my friend sat down with me and showed me how to do it. Before that, I couldn't grasp that it was really that easy. And that you have to be really gentle with the threads.
Once you have your ruffle how you want it, I like to knot the threads together at each end so that it doesn't move around.
When you're ready to sew your ruffles on, pin them in place with a few stick pins and then get to sewing—just a simple straight stitch down the center will suffice.
To finish the towel, sew some ribbon to the bottom hemline. Finish your ribbon ends and fabric with a product to stop the fraying.
Tip: If you're not a fan of the shabby fabric look, simply use fun colored or pattered ribbon instead.

We went to Arlington, Ma this weekend to visit our daughter and her hubby, while there they took us to this little jewel in the middle of an urban area.
Arlington's Great Meadows is a 183-acre parcel of land located in east Lexington. It is the largest piece of undeveloped land in the Arlington/Lexington area. It is part of the Mystic River watershed. Once a glacial lake, it is now a wet meadow surrounded by uplands created by glacial outwash. Great Meadows was purchased by Arlington in 1871 to serve as a supplementary water storage area, but was only briefly used for that purpose. However, it remains a valuable buffer against flooding in the area.
Here is a link to a nice walking tour of the meadows..I just read there is a Woodcock Peenting area!
Its so nice that these areas stay undeveloped.
We had a Jeep led tour of the park…
Jeep meets Pink Lady's Slipper
I did not expect to see Pink Lady's Slipper.
There were many clumps of them..
I have not seen them in clumps like this in many years..
We also saw lots of..
Wild sarsaparilla is a 1-2 foot tall shrub common to the forest understories of southern New England. It produces tiny white flowers in spherical clusters beneath the compound leaves, which ripen into blue-black berries in mid-summer. The rhizome of wild sarsaparilla has a sweet, aromatic taste, and sometimes has substituted for sassafras in the making of home-made root beer.
Have any of you tried making root beer with the roots of this plant?
Anyone good on grasshopper ID?
We had a lovely walk in this green oasis..
Our daughter, who is pregnant, and due in just a few weeks had to take breaks now and then.
This Poor tattered Mourning Cloak butterfly landed in the path.
I shot of few photos to ID it..
It had no blue left..I assume from the markings it still had that it is a Mourning Cloak.
A Great place to grab a bit of nature in the city!
Thanks for the Jeep tour Jeff C.!

Staff have their say on sustainability
About 70 University of Auckland staff members attended a workshop at the Fale Pasifika on 30 November to discuss what the University can do to become an international leader in teaching and researching sustainability.
The workshop, the first in a series of three, centred on the University's commitments under the Universitas 21 Statement of Sustainability – a document signed by The University of Auckland and 20 other research-led universities from around the world.
The University of Auckland has a growing range of courses to attract students interested in studying sustainability, everything from ecological restoration to building sustainable homes and businesses. More than 150 academic staff members from eight faculties and 30 departments now offer over 160 undergraduate and 110 postgraduate courses with a sustainability theme.
Staff at the workshop learned about what the University is trying to achieve with the U21 Sustainability Project, including developing more interdisciplinary research opportunities.
The interactive workshop also provided staff with opportunities to tell others about the diverse range of sustainability initiatives they are personally involved in.
Dr Lesley Stone, the University's Sustainability and Environmental Coordinator, was one of a team of staff from across the University who helped organise the workshop.
Lesley says the feedback from the workshop will help the U21 Sustainability Project Steering Committee, of which she is co-chair, develop a plan for what specific actions the University should take to meet its U21 commitments.
"We received some very valuable feedback from staff about what they think we should be doing to move forward, and what they think the University as a whole can do to empower its staff working in this field," says Lesley.
"The staff present expressed many different ways of approaching sustainability. This workshop was about hearing, acknowledging, encouraging and valuing all those diverse perspectives."
Within the next three years the University will be required to report back to the U21 committee on the success of its programmes to reduce the overall adverse environmental effects of its activities.
"It's critical that universities such as ours are leaders in promoting a sustainable world and creating a new future," says Lesley.
The next U21 Sustainability Project workshops will be held on 9 and 17 February 2010 from 1 to 5pm at the Fale Pasifika. The workshops are open to all staff. To register, please contact Lesley Stone (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The U21 Sustainability Project is supported by the Vice-Chancellor's Strategic Development Fund. For more information on the project, go to www.auckland.ac.nz/environment

The conundrum of Night Terrors, what Hooper does that entices so much, is enter a constant dialogue with the "narrative of mechanics" - that is, with the Towers screenplay that must be transposed and taken seriously, to some degree, for art cannot take itself lightly, and art that is obligatory is a defeatist art. An art that does not believe in, to some degree, the story it is telling cannot enter into useful dialogue (just an impertinent one). Hooper entices with a rigorous dialogue between the form and his content, one that does not condescend or self-celebrate, only asserts yet another attenuation of narrative convention by essentially questioning the very core of any film that would follow such a plot at face value (not that it is a bad plot - again, art should not be self-defeating - but that it is a burdened plot). This is what Hooper did in The Funhouse (with the teen slasher picture) and Lifeforce (with the sci-fi epic). Where Jess Franco inserts poetry into the paradigm of the Euro-sleaze production, Hooper inserts personal thematic inquiry.
The trade-off made for this bit of true enticement - seeing Hooper work with a script that seems contrary to his habits and inclinations for narrative - is that Night Terrors does, in fact, feel like a B-side in Hooper's filmography. It is not quintessential Hooper, it simply contains some of his most interesting intents. It is the light-hearted Elena and Her Men to Renoir, the Under Capricorn to its Hitchcock. What Night Terrors lacks is the unitary course of time, the unitary location, the disinclination towards intrigue and what-will-happen-next plot indefiniteness. Hooper's choice of stories, usually, are always steeped in the inevitability of the void, or sacrifice. Here, a judicial fervor is wielded, both narratively and formally, the finale an unequivocal meting of justice, ex aequo et bono (in contrast to the usual sigh of irresolution and melancholy finishing many of Hooper's films), while Hooper presides over the order and the law of the sequences (dreams weave with reality, historical snippets - made meaningful even though largely specious and clumsy; this film is, one can say by design, not Paddy Chayefsky - invert the present, and Hooper's cinematic backcountry is held to his thoughtfully writ constitution).
Career Analogs
I do love Night Terrors, though, which does function on a conventional level, a fact which both momentarily disturbed and then forged my love. Its most illogical plot points became somewhat explainable; its sense of build-up, where I had previously sensed none, came to the fore. This realization began by threatening, slightly, Hooper's lustrous work as a maker of connections rather than narratives, but soon the unwelcome logic of the narrative of mechanics began to congeal, itself, into something else, simply strengthening and making more robust the aspirant moral structures that pinned tightly the film's various threads, like a cloth doll affixed together by straight pins. It was the film's self-reflexive intelligence, the existence of the logic being like a second organism in the same host body as Hooper's artistic inquirer. Within this host body, it is not so much that there is not enough room for the two of them, but that they must be in constant relation to each other. It was the realization of this dialogue between content and form, of the ability of something to be both competent and subversive, of something to be both somewhere on the fringes of the acceptable (such as an erotic picture) and dignified where ever it stands. In an almost-inversion of my default stance on form trumping content: Form must be self-critical. Content must be valued and of value.
Genie's "journey" through the party scene continues with her meeting Chevalier (Robert Englund), the rupture point at which her journey becomes less about her drifting and more about the hard-and-fast oppositions and triangulations between her, her host, and his various guests (including Sabina, her companion whom she arrived with). The conversation is depicted through a series of precise, segregated frames. What better depiction of the evolution of conversation, and the accompanying stakes? Precise like battle strategy, segregated like battalions. Night Terrors is a film of conversations, encounters, and the underlying battle and transformations beneath every one of them. As Hooper's films are conversations with themselves, this scene is the perfect embodiment of Hooper's self-reflexive rhythms and his spirit of inquiry. Night Terrors exists as his B-side, an outré piece of unmarketable niche filmmaking, one that stews in its imperfections, but that is also the greatest expression for Hooper's controlled instincts and search for the ethics in art. Night Terrors is the battle between form and content, the tug-of-war between shoddy provenance and a genuine artist's curiosity and respect.

Hooper Article For Revista Détour
ICYMI: I wrote an article for the online arts/photography/literature/film publication known as Détour (Revista) (@tdetour), run and organized by some very illustrious writers/critics/cinephiles in Spain and which is currently in the midst of their Edition No. 7. They premiered my long-form article this last spring in their Edition No. 6, and I was beyond honored (check out their Facebook page or their blog for a sense of the sheer swathe of art, life, and culture they put a magnifying glass to).
Premiered in a Spanish translation that I cannot thank Détour co-editor Óscar Brox enough for finding it worthy of his invaluable efforts he put in translating it, they were also kind enough to publish it in English.
Naturally, I already regret my wordier instincts in the English version of this article, but that's the way the publishing cookie crumbles. Warning: Contains Nuri Bilge Ceylan potshot, which I apologize for but do not retract. Note #2: This also marks the moment I stop being patronizing towards Hooper's Toolbox Murders. It's a great movie. The single-take shot of Angela Bettis with a beer while conversing with her husband is a stunner. The dissolve to police lights as she is rescued by her husband is an image to treasure.
As for the article, I hope you enjoy it.

Academic boycotts are antithetical to the core values of educational institutions, which are committed to the free exchange of ideas. Political differences indeed heighten, not diminish, the importance of unfettered discourse among scholars.
At Northeastern, we are proud of our research and experiential learning collaborations with universities around the world. Currently, faculty at Northeastern have strong research partnerships with Israeli universities. These collaborations will continue unabated.

As I packed for the move to Seattle this fall, I made decent progress on all but one front: a, mountain of personal papers. Imagine 3000-5000 pages--everything from old love letters to leases, poems, resumes, professional correspondence, contracts, published articles, ancient bills...Okay, now imagine all of that thrown into a barrel with 600 rejection letters dating back 20 years--picture all of this shaken wildly, then removed in handfuls and tossed pell-mell into boxes.
I faced something like that. And I suppose I could blame it on a half-dozen cross-country moves...or on a miserable divorce. But I think the truer answer may lie in the staggering number of rejections received over the course of two decades (after I'd published four novels preceded by twenty more years of rejection). I believe I numbed myself in ways I never knew. As I started to sift through the wreckage, I found unopened envelopes--which I'd rightly guessed to hold tiny form rejections. They'd have broken my back on the rack at that time. But I also found a crucial, unopened note from a dear friend that might have changed my life if only I'd known I'd received it. It had gotten trapped, apparently, between a few unopened No's. And I only learned she'd moved to Portland weeks before I left.
My eyes grew misty as I tore through No after No after No. Why didn't I throw the whole lot of them out? Who needed further reminding of so many years of neglect and abuse? Did I need to remember the poor broken fool who dreaded the sight of his mailbox?
But on the project's second night, my heart began to rally. I wanted these papers in order and, by God, I needed to keep them. The greater risk lay in forgetting the System I'd chosen to fight, writing the novels I felt born to write as well as I could write them. Whatever my problems, whatever the cost, I held fast to my love of my art.
I've gone on to publish six ebooks, with a seventh on the way. So let me give the many No's their burial inside a box--and get on with the Yes of Seattle.

i need advice
I'm a 21 year old recent graduate who just had to move back home. The problem is, i hate home. Looking back I think I had severe depression, usually triggered by my dad. This man is both emotionally and physically abusive to me, my mom, and my brother. In high school I went to school on several occasions with bruises on my body caused by this man.
Long story short: I know that in order to relieve my own depression and for the sake of my own sanity I need to move as far away from him as I can. Unfortunately I can't in good conscience leave my mother and brother to fend for themselves with him. While my brother is physically big enough to combat dad's abuse, he doesn't because he is still afraid of dad. On more than one occasion I have stepped in while he was hitting my mother to defend her, the most recent altercation was just a couple hours ago.
How can I get out of here and do what I must to take care of myself without leaving the rest of my family to fend for themselves? I would never forgive myself if something happened to either because I left and wasn't around to help defend them from this tyrant of a father.

Hiya cat!
Well first and most importantly, has anyone gone to the police?
(I think that should be done). Second have you talked to your mother and brother about getting out before something real bad happens? I commend you for not wanting to leave your family.
Try these sites
Not sure if they will help any, but I hope they do...
May God be with you and your family..

Thank you for your kind words. I've tried calling the police in the past, but my mom has taken the phone out of my hands and hung up before the call goes through. Although for most of my life my mother has been the primary bread winner and dad has "done things to help around the house", Mom refuses to leave him because she is convinced he would get everything and leave her with nothing. She refuses to leave, and whereas it breaks my heart to think that she believes she's stuck, I don't think I could ever convince her to walk out. Which makes me focus my concern on my brother. He doesn't have the option to leave this environment unless my mom goes because he nowhere else to go. Both continually make up excuses for why dad's behavior is all right. I just feel stuck.

I am not sure... If I was in your situation I would take the phone and hide and call the police..
I would be obligated to protect my brother as I am an adult. 15 is still a little voice.. Your mom on the other hand may not want "out" but as you said, your brother has no other choice.. Be his VOICE!
I have seen and heard of too many child abuse cases gone wrong, causing death because no-one spoke out for the little voices. If I was your friend or neighbor, I WOULD SPEAK OUT....
I rest my case...

I am sorry you and your brother are going thru this. I too went thru something similar. Have you talked to your mom one on one and let her see how much this is effecting you and your brother ?? There are steps you can take depending on what state you are in. I know a friend of mine who just turned 23 got temporary custody of her sisters when her mom would not leave an abusive man. Sometimes the women just feels she has no choice, let her know she does. I will keep your family in my prayers. I wish you luck !!!

Breitenbush Wildlife Habitat Rehabilitation.
Creating and Rebuilding Natural Wildlife Habitat with The Suzuki Equator
Editor: Eric Bewley Photo: D. Arnold, E. Bewley
Detroit, OR – For the last ten years the US Forest Service has partnered with local groups to rehabilitate and create wildlife habitat in an area most famously known for it's hot springs but used by most locals for it's other beneficial offerings. The Oregon Hunters Association, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Mid-Valley Crawlers 4×4 club, as well as others have been working on this project for many years and the results have been beneficial to the area's wildlife population. We were fortunate enough to be able to participate this year and help out and as an added bonus, we were able to use our on loan Suzuki Equator to great benefit as we worked through the day's projects.
This project is part of a long-term effort to create and enhance forage conditions for big game species, such as elk, deer and bear, that inhabit the Breitenbush River corridor and surrounding areas. These species benefit from the increased production of berries and tender leaves found in young forest stands. Restoration activities will be completed in open meadows, power line corridors, young forest stands and other natural areas between Marion Forks and Breitenbush.
As part of the MVC contingent, we were charged with the duties of moving a couple of 1000 lb bags of lime to remote staging areas so the spreaders could distribute onto the meadows, picking up trash as always, and the highlight of the weekend which was retrieving for disposal an abandoned, shot, burned and probably stabbed car.
After the morning meeting we headed off to where the car was to begin the process of loading it up for removal. We used the Suzuki Equator to pull the car from it's abandoned location to the base of a large tree where we used the winch on Gayle and Brian's Chevy Tracker to winch the nose up on the car at which point we drove the Forest Services' flat bed under it to load it up. Bingo… car gone; forest improved!
2011 Project By The Numbers:
2011 Power Line Wildlife Habitat Enhancement Project Detroit Ranger District Accomplishments:
- 70 Acres of created and natural meadows enhanced by fertilization.
- 12 Acres of created and natural meadows enhanced by Lime .
- 10 Acres of existing created meadows re-seeded.
- 10 Cubic yards of litter cleaned up.
- 16 Bird/squirrel boxes installed,
- 5 Acres of browsing / browse cutback.
Materials applied:
1. Fertilizer = 7 tons
2. Lime = 12 tons
3. Seed (native) = 50 lbs
Total expenses (Value of) items provided and donated was $16,100
In kind volunteer labor value 636 hrs @ $18/hr = $11,448
The next task we worked on was hauling the 1000 lb bags of lime from the Forest Service warehouse to the remote staging areas. We used the Suzuki Equator and another vehicle do deliver the goods up a steep and rutted trail. The factory locker in the Equator helped out tremendously as we were able to idle up the trail carefully and with precision. Unloading the bags required the skillful use of the winch from Brian's Tracker.
After this, we patrolled the area and picked up garbage as we found it until it was time for the much anticipated and rewarding afternoon dinner. Which, by the way, was delicious! A few door prize items were handed out by the Forest Service as a thank you and we came home knowing that a good thing had been done and this small part of the forest was better for it.

A sexual encounter usually during the mid-day. Usually during lunch time, one would leave work or school to meet someone for a "quickie" then return to work or school. Hence the term "Bagged" lunch
1) Meeting Leah for a bagged lunch today.
2) Heading home today for a bagged lunch.
3) Just had a bagged lunch with a co-worker.

This is a version of the hot lunch or hot karl. You defacate into a tube sock and then proceed to hit someone over the face multiple times with this poo-filled specimen.
Last night Vinnie wanted this girl he had fucked to leave his place. While she was asleep in his bed, he gave her a nice bagged lunch to finally get her to leave. She would never forget this experience the next time she placed her foot in a tube sock, with the fear of stepping in fecal matter.

THE TERRIBLE SECRET - Part VII
Review by Joseph T Major of
VENONA: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America by John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr
(Yale University Press; 1999; ISBN 0-300-07771-8; $30.00) and
VENONA: The Greatest Secret of the Cold War by "Nigel West" [Rupert Allason] (HarperCollins; 1999; ISBN 0-00-257000-9; Ł19.99)
In the written history of the world there is not so much as a glimpse behind the heavy curtains that enshroud the background of secret diplomacy. The background? The Black Chamber. The Cryptographic Bureau, where specialists pore over cipher telegrams of foreign governments . . .
It is my aim to unfold in a simple dispassionate way the intimate details of a secret organization that I fostered for the American government; an organization which, at its height of power, employed one hundred and sixty-five men and women. I created the bureau and directed its mysterious activities, until, at the end of twelve years, a new Secretary of State ordered the door of the Black Chamber closed and bolted.
In a period of twelve years, this Secretary was the first diplomatist who, though well aware that all great powers have their Black Chambers, had the courage - or was it naïveté? - to announce that diplomatic correspondence must be inviolate, thus renouncing the secret practices of the American Cryptographic Bureau. Now that the Black Chamber has been destroyed there is no valid reason for witholding its secrets.
- Herbert O. Yardley, The American Black Chamber, p. xvii
This morning, and I am now writing of February, 1931, I was informed by a friend just back from Washington that the committee investigating Soviet activities had one thousand Soviet code messages which had been turned over to "Government experts" to decipher, but they couldn't be solved by these experts.
- Herbert O. Yardley, The American Black Chamber, p. 217
Haynes and Klehr begin by pulling back Yardley's "heavy curtains" to unfold the intimate details of the American Security Agency, later the Signal Intelligence Service and now known as the National Security Agency. "The Venona Project began because Carter Clarke did not trust Joseph Stalin," they say [p. 8] In 1943, Colonel Clarke was afraid of a Soviet separate peace, and hoped to get warning from Soviet code messages. By the time their system was broken, that threat was gone - but another was revealed, a far more crucial one.
Decrypted VENONA messages list 349 individuals in America who had contact with Soviet espionage. Less than half of these people have been identified [see pp. 340-370], and the proportion of unbroken messages is large. Given these additional considerations, the stringent security measures put in place in the late forties suddenly become understandable, if not acceptable.
Chapter Two of this book, "Breaking the Code" [pp. 23-56], describes those means. As in the days of the American Black Chamber, the source for this work was "the cipher telegrams of foreign governments". Towards the end of his book [The American Black Chamber, pp. 243-4], Yardley discusses a means by which cipher messages can be made unbreakable and from the context he is discussing either the Hagelin machine or a similar one - the basis of the German "unbreakable" Engima cipher. The deciphering of German Enigma messages was made possible in part by errors in technique and usage.
The real unbreakable cipher is the "one-time pad" - a table of random numbers used to encipher numeric equivalents of words (in this case, code numbers for words) by adding the numbers in the pad to the numbers of the message. Without the original pad, the decipherer is unable to reconstruct the original message, since he has no way to determine what numbers have been added. What made the VENONA decryptions possible was an error of technique and usage - pressed by lack of resources, the NKVD cipher directorate made multiple copies of the sheets for one-time pads.
Using the serial numbers on the NKVD and Soviet trade agency messages - each pad ended up being used for two different organizations - the ASA was able to strip off that superencipherment. Reconstructing the code groups was still to be done, but that is an existing skill; see The American Black Chamber for examples.
And the code names. For obvious reasons, it was necessary to refer to agents, sources, targets, and the like by something other than their real names. This entailed a shift from mathemtician to detective, to discover the names that lay behind HOMER and STANLEY, ALES and LIBERAL, and so on. The choice of some of these code names betrayed a certain attitude among the chekists. For example, Trotskyists were POLECATS and Zionists were RATS, while members of the Communist Party were FELLOWCOUNTRYMEN. Indeed, one can see a very particular attitude at work when noting that Guy Burgess was MÄDCHEN "girl".
A few new revelations appear from these messages. Oleg Kalugin sparked a row by discussing I. F. Stone's secret discussions with the KGB [see The First Directorate, Oleg Kalugin and Fen Montagine (1994), p. 74]. Now, it seems that Stone had been meeting with chekists back when Kalugin was first spying on the girl in the next cradle. The NKGB had targeted him for recruitment back in 1944. His response to them had shown concern that he might "attract the attention of the FBI" [p. 248], which hints that he knew that this was not an ordinary talk with a friendly journalist from the land where the future works. Could there be more on agent PANCAKE in other telegrams?
The bulk of this book is given over to the long progression of betrayers, a rounding-up of the usual suspects. The Communist Party USA and its leader and disbander Earl Browder, the Golos-Bentley networks, the Ware Group, the atom-bomb spies, and the hunt for Trotsky the arch-POLECAT are all discussed in familiar detail.
As for one of the usual suspects: Damning evidence highlights the perfidy of Agent ALES. Haynes and Klehr present conclusive evidence that the March 30, 1945 VENONA cable about ALES cannot refer to anyone but Hiss [pp. 171-2], for ALES had gone to Moscow briefly after the Yalta conference. Four men went to Moscow briefly after the Yalta conference; Secretary of State Edward Stettinus, his press aide Wilder Foote, the director of the State Department's Office of European Affairs H. Freeman Matthews - and Alger Hiss.
And speaking of the friend of ALES, Whittaker Chambers (Agent KARL) was always concerned about enemies at Time. This book lists three writers for Time who were Soviet agents: Richard Lauterbach (Agent PA) and John Scott (Agent IVANOV), correspondents to the Soviet Union, and a supervisor of foreign correspondents, Stephen Laird [pp. 236-8]. Small wonder that Chambers was suspicious.
Similarly, the complex unraveling of the atom-bomb spy networks, that vast left-wing conspiracy that saved Academician Kurchatov so much effort in running down dead ends, is described here. The thread that led through LIBERAL, CHARL'Z, MLAD, STAR, and the yet undefinitely identified FOGEL/PERS, and other such mystery men and women is explicated in its painful detail. It becomes obvious why MLAD (Teddy Hall) and STAR (Saville Sax) were not further investigated; the only evidence against them was from VENONA.
And speaking of a conspiracy so immense: One point that Haynes and Klehr make emphatically was that Joseph McCarthy had no access to VENONA, knew nothing of VENONA, and made accusations that were utterly contradicted by VENONA. They are of the opinion that he would have been incapable of keeping it to himself, and since he didn't make any astounding revelations about this, it follows that he didn't know.
But for nearly fifty years, the government sat on the proof. It is hard to comprehend that those in possession of the hidden secrets showing that the Cold War had been started by the Soviets, had been started before the Second World War, were so willing to let this ultimate justification of their proof be hidden. One of the first advocates of the declassification of VENONA was someone who might not be considered so ordinary in calling for declassification of anything: James Angleton [p. 5].
There is a certain USAn-centric mentality about the book. The discussion of VENONA in the introduction implies that only hints of it were known prior to the official declassification on July 11, 1995. Yet in 1979 Peter Wright wrote about the VENONA material (Spycatcher, pp. 179-188) in much the same vein as Haynes and Klehr in this book. References to such codebreaking date back as far as 1970, in David C. Martin's Wilderness of Mirrors.
By 1988, as seen in John Costello's Mask of Treachery, the existence and most of the contents of VENONA were apparently common knowledge. Yet the NSA kept on pretending otherwise.
In a similar vein, Haynes and Klehr state that the code name FELLOWCOUNTRYMEN refers to "any CPUSA member" [p. 349]. To jump ahead to the next part, in his Venona: The Greatest Secret of the Cold War, on page 366 "Nigel West" states that the code word FELLOWCOUNTRYMEN refers to members of the CPGB. We can conclude that it was a general term and that any Soviet spy boss anywhere could call on aid from FELLOWCOUNTRYMEN from the ranks of the local Communist Party.
It is understandable that there was serious concern about this penetration. The inflow of people into the new agencies of the New Deal and, more significantly, the wartime agencies, created an unparalleled opportunity to slip agents past security. When you consider that the OSS, for example, had at least fifteen Soviet spies in it, you can understand the nature of this concern. While there were witches, the witch-hunt, however, could have been done better. (An interesting parallel might be drawn with the "anti-Hun" and "anti-Bolshevik" sweeps of the Wilson era, which caught no German spies and few Communists, but did disrupt society, poison political dialogue, and create a climate of groundless mistrust. J. Edgar Hoover opposed the Palmer Raids, for example.)
In one field in particular, the serious concern was seriously justified. The value to the Soviet A-bomb project of knowing what not to do was immense - it saved them years of trial and error.
Not surprisingly, there has been an as forceful response, an as forceful denial. David Caute, last seen ferociously denying the revelations of The Secret World of American Communism, is one exemplar of this trend in which "Communists were depicted as innocent victims of an irrational and oppressive government." [p. 17]
But, some say - like the late William "The Client Is Obviously Guilty" Kunstler [p. 399] - that these messages were forged (by a vast right-wing conspiracy?). This is conspiratorial thinking at work, the desire to eradicate inconvenient evidence. Forgery on so vast a scale could not hold up, it would take, shall we say, a conspiracy so immense as to be incapable of keeping the secret, much less keeping all the little details right.
This is the latest stone to be piled on the burial cairn of the belief that American Communists were independent, democratic, ordinary political activists, that they were cruelly persecuted by a ruthless oppression that sought to ban independent thought. That this nonsense has become the established orthodoxy of progressive thought, the anti-anti-communists having routed the anti-communists, is a different story in itself.
- Haynes and Klehr, Venona, p. 337 [emphasis added]
. . . those in power in England considered a Cipher Bureau of such tremendous importance that they placed an Admiral at its head. This man, Admiral [Sir Reginald "Blinker"] Hall, because of the information he obtained from the messages that his enormous bureau deciphered, stood next to [Prime Minister David] Lloyd George in power. The Foreign Office was extremely jealous of his position for it was almost wholly dependent on him for information revealing the secret political intrigues of foreign and neutral governments.
- Herbert O. Yardley, The American Black Chamber, pp. 139-140
The skeptic Martin Gardner has shown himself skeptical of the extra-scientific fellow-traveling activities of British physicist J. B. S. Haldane (see On The Wild Side, pp. 118-122). Another Gardner, Meredith, the man who cracked VENONA, had proof that Haldane was more than just a fellow-traveler; as Agent INTELLEGENSIA, Haldane gave information to the GRU on the scientific work he was doing for the British. Martin's angry cartoon showing Haldane with a hammer-and-sickle caste mark is now more appropriate.
This was one of the areas in which the British Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) and its successor the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the heirs to "Blinker" Hall's Room 40, did their share in breaking the messages, and how those messages revealed unpleasant things about more than just Americans.
To the pure cryptological description given by Haynes and Klehr, "West" adds the additional covert-action dimension, describing how other spies obtained the codebooks that the codebreakers used. One was recovered by the Finns from the battlefield, and sold to the Allies as part of a complex deal. Other contributions came from "black-bag" jobs, the FBI doing what it pursued in others, breaking into Soviet consulates and photographing their secret materials, as they had done for (or to) the Axis powers before the war. "West" also clarifies the story of General Donovan and the NKVD codebook [pp. 33-4] that he had had given back to them.
The most significant part of this book is of a different sort. Klehr and Haynes share a perspective with most American thriller writers - they discount the rest of the world. To achieve a more useful understanding, therefore, it is necessary to obtain other perspectives. The Soviet offensive was not directed just against the Main Adversary, but against its Main Ally and other allies as well. Accordingly, "West" begins by pointing out that, for example, the GRU effort in London was more sustained and had more resources than that in Washington and the rest of the U.S. The GRU had several spy rings in Britain; they had nothing to do with the Cambridge Ring of Five or the other well-known espionage efforts. "Viktor Suvorov" describes the GRU as the ugly peasant who outwits the handsome prince of the KGB, and in spite of his natural bias against the mortal enemy of his old outfit he may have been thinking of such successes as these.
The GRU spies included such surprising figures as not only Haldane, but Ivor Montagu (Agent NOBILITY). Ivor's brother was Ewen Montagu, author of The Man Who Never Was and Beyond Top Secret Ultra, and stalwart of the Double-Cross System - a family of spies, if not all on the same side. Ivor's X-Group penetrated the Czech government, and recruited Allan Nunn May (Agent ALEK), one of the still-surviving atom-bomb spies.
A third signatory to the UKUSA intelligence-sharing agreement was involved. In 1948 the Director-General of MI5 himself, Sir Percy Sillitoe, went to Australia to brief the government on what had been revealed by VENONA of Soviet espionage there. The government decided to create a counterintelligence service, the Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), and the Circus sent an advisor from Whitehall. The fact that Sir Roger Hollis helped in the uncovering of several Australian spies should have been a point in his favor in the Fifth Man Hunt, where he was, thanks to Peter Wright (who, ironically, lived in Australia), a principal suspect.
Hollis and the ASIO had a lot to do, for Australia had been open country for the NKGB and GRU. Their method of operation was remarkably familiar. Agent CLAUDE, Communist Party of Australia Control Commission member Walter S. "Wally" Clayton, had been a talent-spotter for Soviet espionage in the way that HELMSMAN, Earl Browder, had been in the U.S., for example.
The Australians gave as well as got. Soviet defectors Vladimir and Evdokia Petrov were able to provide useful background material that filled out the details of the VENONA decrypts; the way in which messages were encrypted, the reason for the creation of the duplicate pads, even the way in which the random numbers were generated.
A frightening concern about the greater background of Soviet espionage during that period is that "The NSA calculated that less than one per cent of the total traffic had involved key reuse" [p. 119] and less than half of those had been found, much less decrypted.
It seems to have taken long enough to get to the Cambridge Ring of Five. While little enough of the VENONA material dealt with them, it should be noted that the references to Agent HOMER's personal life were the first clues to Donald Maclean's guilt. Similarly, his involvement in the defection of GRU code clerk Igor Gouzenko led to the suspicion of Kim Philby, Agent STANLEY. Other references enabled it to be guessed that Agent HICKS was Guy Burgess and Agent JOHNSON was Anthony Blunt. But other agents were active; references to agents codenamed DAN, LEAF, JACK, and ROSA imply a wider secret world of British Communism out there. The Crown Jewels by "West" and Oleg Tsarev (1998, 1999), published in the U.S. by Yale University Press, is helpful on this topic.
ENORMOZ, the Manhattan Project, was a prime target of Soviet espionage, as has been related in several recent works. The discussion in this book of MLAD (Theodore Hall), CHARL'Z (Klaus Fuchs), and LIBERAL (Julius Rosenberg) is useful in its context, but has been covered exhaustively in other places.
What is new is the speculation that the mysterious Agent PERS (also known as VOGEL), the object of much speculation, may have been German-British physicist Sir Rudolf Peierls. Similarly, the question of Robert Oppenheimer's complicity has more information from VENONA (including his code-name, BILL OF EXCHANGE), but unfortunately this information is insufficient to determine whether he was actually an agent, or merely a target for recruitment, or an unwitting source. All of these would have code names.
"West" lists some other agents in ENORMOZ, and uses VENONA material with other sources to draw up a more detailed portrait of the Soviet effort to penetrate ENORMOZ than has existed before, than in (say), H. Montgomery Hyde's The Atom Bomb Spies (1980).
And, or so he says, the security was so lax because ironically of the project's being so secret. The FBI learned about the Manhattan Project entirely by accident - from surveillance of Vasili Zubilin (Agent MAXIM; his real name was "Zarubin") for an entirely different reason! And, of course, Zubilin was under suspicion as an agent of foreign intelligence services - by the NKGB, of course. That's the usual ingratitude towards one so successful.
Another pattern that wasn't limited to the United States was intensive investigation of émigré organizations. Klehr and Haynes have covered this topic in detail in their works; "West" adds here the international touch, discussing the problem of the storm petrels, the Soviet defectors.
Having lost his temper in Alma-Ata [Almatsy], Robert Heinlein went to his room and "vividly recalled Kravchenko's I Chose Freedom." ["'PRAVDA' Means 'TRUTH'", Extended Universe, p. 411] Viktor Kravchenko was an officer on the Soviet Purchasing Commission who defected to the U.S. in 1944, after which he wrote I Chose Freedom, an exposé of Soviet police state tactics. The NKGB was not happy about this, and put one of their top agents, sociologist Mark Zborowski (Agent TULIP) on the task of getting to this GNAT (Kravchenko's appropriate VENONA code name). However, the swatting of this GNAT was to lead to an even greater publicity disaster. Yet Kravchenko was found dead in 1966, having shot himself. One wonders.
"West" has dissed William Stevenson's A Man Called 48100, er, A Man Called INTREPID (1976) as greater length in other books, but he points out here that "BSC [British Security Coordination] constructed an impressive security apparatus in the Americas and waged an espionage and propaganda offensive against the Axis enemy." [p. 216]. Small wonder, then, that others would show interest in it and its quiet Canadian station chief, Sir William Stephenson [in SIS terminology code-numbered "48" for his station, the U.S., plus "100" for his position, station chief, hence "48100"; INTREPID was the cable address of BSC].
The Soviet agent inside BSC was Cedric Belfrage (his covername was identified but not determined, so he is referred to as UCN/9 for "unidentifed cover name number 9" - there is a reference to a UCN/41 - a sinister thought, there), a journalist and CPGB member who had been recruited by Jacob Golos. Yet it was sloppiness by Golos that made UCN/9 break off spying for the Soviets.
Speaking of Golos, "West" provides further detail about his assistant, lover, heir, and betrayer, Elizabeth Bentley. Her cover name was UMNITSA, which is best translated as "CLEVER GIRL" - "MISS WISE", the translation given in The Haunted Wood, is in fact her own version. Her handler told her what her code name was, a serious violation of security and tradecraft. The VENONA messages show CLEVER GIRL as a big-time operator, handling agents in the OSS and other of the wartime agencies, and confirm her allegedly wild stories of espionage. (Not surprisingly, "Golos" was a pseudonym - it means "voice" - and his real name was Jacob Rasin.)
An explanation of why the FBI did not move against so many of the agents identified, or reveal the VENONA secret earlier, may be deduced from what happened when they did arrest someone based on VENONA evidence. Agent SIMA was in the Justice Department, and apparently a useful agent - SIMA could tip off suspected spies when they first came under investigation. After investigation, it was determined that SIMA was one Judith Coplon. She was arrested and tried, but her conviction was overturned because the FBI had to pretend that the initial source for suspecting her was a wiretap, which it turned out had been illegally obtained.
Revealing that the source was actually decoded messages was considered not worth the cost. And so the Coplon affair became a fiasco, and Teddy Hall could sleep at night again.
Meanwhile, General Fitin (codename VICTOR) had relations on two levels with the OSS. Not only did he meet officially with General Donovan to pass on information, but he had agents inside there.
Again here we get into a confusion of terminology; Haynes and Klehr maintain that HUT (technically "IZBA") is the reference to the local counterintelligence service. "West" asserts that "HUT" meant the OSS, while the FBI was "KhATA", a sturdier kind of building found in Ukraine. Aside from this trifle, "West" shows in great detail how the penetration agents in HUT, and the agents of the two main spy rings, the Perlo and Silvermaster groups, delivered useful information to the Soviet Union in the period before their dissolutions.
In a postscript, "West" discusses some hints and penumbras, touching on the hidden dimensions of the careers of such people as Agent BLIN ["PANCAKE"], I. F. Stone [pp. 328-330].
This perspective granted by the observations of a devoted researcher throws a different light on these matters, creating a contrast that throws obscure features into sharp relief. With such differing references, many an obscure puzzle becomes easier to solve.
- "West", Venona, p. 327
To make the points again: the boogeyman was under the bed. There were spies in the White House and in the State Department. There were even spies at Time magazine.
Yet, the exposure of them was a victim of its own success. When the great fear of Soviet spies began, the spies themselves were gone; quit, fled, or otherwise rendered ineffective. Joseph McCarthy was doubly ignorant; he had no knowledge of Communism, and his frothings were aimed at, literally, nothing. He was more a benefactor to Communists than their enemy, for his efforts made anti-Communism shameful, and the anti-anti-Communists the supporters of freedom, even as they supported oppressors abroad and at home.
A historical study of the effects of the security agitation of World War I should have shown as much. The great Hun Fear of the War to End All War destroyed German-American culture - after that war, in the absence of "moderate" ethnic organizations, the Nazi ones attained their influence because there was a vacuum - disrupted ordinary society, and of course failed to uncover any German secret agents. All the hysteria over James Branch Cabell's extremely elliptical and symbolic sexual references in Jurgen (1920) let pass his parody of WWI American society in the sequence where Jurgen is in Hell.
But if the decision makers knew that McCarthy was a fool and the "martyrs" were guilty, why did they keep quiet? Oversecurity had a role. The VENONA deciphering was known to the Soviets as early as 1948; if not ZHORA, then STANLEY told them. Yet this was the closest of secrets until 1995; and even when journalists knew it as soon as 1978, the NSA still reflexively denied their great triumph. Note, too, that even the level of limited comprehension that we do have was not fully explicated back then.
As with the Hun Hunt, so with the "Great Fear" of the Communist hunt. The reaction made it possible to deny the guilt of the perpetrators named in the codes, to hail LIBERAL and his wife Ethel as martyrs and to popularize a book on what a great daddy ALES was.
Yet, ironically, the revelations given here confirm one of McCarthy's most alcohol-fired tropes: "[A] conspiracy on a scale so immense as to dwarf any previous such venture in the history of man. A conspiracy so black that, when it is finally exposed, its principals shall be forever deserving of the maledictions of all honest men." [quoted Haynes and Klehr, p. 17] And that its principals, far from receiving "the maledictions of all honest men", had once been considered to be "innocent victims of an irrational and oppressive American government" may reveal more about those doing that consideration than it does about the government they are considering.
Yet already the spin doctors are spin doctoring these results. A cautionary tale to those who hope from support from the progressive sectors of society; they'll use you and abandon you. These individuals, once noble martyrs to an oppressive government, have now become insignificant factors that no one ever cared about, now that the evidence beyond any reasonable doubt is in. Winston Smith and the rewriters at the Ministry of Truth are working double shifts.

An ONN universal remote can control up to four different audio and video devices, including televisions, DVD players, audio, satellite, cable, and VCRs. You can either program an ONN remote manually using direct code entry, or automatically using the auto code search feature.
Method One of Three:
Direct Code EntryEdit
1Download the correct code list for your device from http://www.myonnremote.com/remote-codes.html.
2Scroll to the category for the device you want programmed. For example, if you want to program your remote for use with satellite or cable, scroll to the section entitled, "SAT / CBL."
3Locate the brand of your device within that particular category. For example, if you're programming the remote for a Samsung television, scroll to "Samsung" within the "TV" section.
4Power on the device you want to control using the remote. For example, if you're programming the remote for use with your DVD player, power on your DVD player.
5Press and hold the "Setup" button on your ONN remote for approximately two seconds. The red indicator light should remain in a solid state.
6Release the "Setup" button, then press the appropriate device button on the remote. For example, if you're programming the remote for your television, press the "TV" button. The red indicator light will blink one time.
7Enter the first four-digit code displayed next to your device in the ONN manual using the remote. The red indicator light will turn off after you've entered the code.
- Make sure you enter the code within 35 seconds of pressing the device button. Otherwise, the remote will reset and you'll be required to start over.
8Point the ONN remote at the device you're programming, then press the "Power" button. The device will power off, and setup will be complete.
- If your device fails to power off, enter the next four-digit code displayed in the manual, and try again. You must continue entering codes until your device powers off using the remote.
Method Two of Three:
Auto Code SearchEdit
1Power on the device you plan on using with your ONN remote. For example, if you want to program the remote for use with your television, power on your television.
2Press and hold the "Setup" button on the remote for approximately four seconds until the red indicator light stays on.
3Release the "Setup" button, then press the appropriate device button on the remote. For example, if you're programming the remote for use with your DVD player, press the "DVD" button. The red indicator light will blink one time and remain lit.
4Point the remote at your device and press the "Power" or "Play" buttons. The red indicator light will start blinking as the remote searches for a code that works for your device.
- Keep the ONN remote pointed at your device throughout the searching process, which may take several minutes as the remote searches for a compatible code.
5Press the #1 button on your remote as quickly as possible when your device powers off or begins to play. This will lock in the correct code, and the red indicator light will turn off.
- Press the "Setup" button to reverse the direction of the code search if you fail to press the #1 button in time.
6Verify that the remote is programmed by pointing it at your device and pressing various commands.
- If the remote is still not programmed with your device, repeat all steps in this method until the remote finds a code that works with your device.
Method Three of Three:
1Try programming your remote using the "Auto Code Search" method if your device fails to respond to any codes provided in the manual using the "Direct Code Entry" method. In some cases, your device may be compatible with a code that isn't listed in the manual.
2Try programming your remote using another code from the list if you discover that the ONN remote offers limited functionality with your device. Some codes may offer more functions than others.
3Remove any obstructions between the ONN remote and your device if you experience difficulties with programming the remote. In some cases, furniture and other large objects can cause interference during programming.
4Try replacing and reinstalling the batteries if your ONN remote isn't responding to programming commands. The remote may not function optimally when battery life is low.Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionWhat do I do if when I press the up and down arrow keys to change the channel, it changes the input source instead?Community Answer
- For installing a universal remote, consult the instructions in the guide of your television. Mostly you have to go to the settings and search for set up remote. Then you need to press some buttons which the TV asks youit for so 's able to recognize it. Not all remotes do work with every TV.
QuestionHow do I change the input from TV to HDMI using a remote?
QuestionCan the remote be programmed if the TV is off?Community Answer
- Yes, it can. However, because many TV brands have more than one possible code, it would be impossible to know if your TV responds accurately to what you program into it until you have the TV on. Although if you test the code by hitting the power button and the TV turns on, you probably have an accurate code.
If the buttons on my TV don't work, how do I program my ONN universal remote?
Can I use my own remote to program a Zenith converter box?
How do I do channel scans with my ONN universal remote?
How do I find the code for my TV when programming my ONN universal remote?
Will my ONN remote work on my Denon receiver?

Charter Members
"The very first meeting was in Beverly Denver's office. I remember that Bob Fry, Ralph Atkinson, Roger Martin, Rick Spenser and myself were present-- I think either you or Ray were present."
The first meeting that we had was at the old Sunset Tea room. Probably around late October or early November 1994.
The medical center Rotary was ticked at us and would not give us any support. They were also one of the main reasons we formed our club---they had made it known for years that they were not interested in any new members.
Bob Fitz of the Bellaire Club agreed to sponsor us and give us guidance
The Greenway Plaza Rotary had shut down about 6 months before because of lack of members. That is why we decided to make it a neighorhood club. "

What is an Auburn Uncontested Divorce?
An uncontested divorce is when there is an agreement already reached at the time the case is filed. Since an agreement concerning all marital issues such as custody, child support, and division of property has been reached there are no contested issues for a judge to resolve. Therefore, the judge only has to approve your agreement which can usually be done without a hearing. In an uncontested divorce, your divorce decree can be received without ever having to go to court.
That is why divorce attorneys in Auburn or Opelika can charge lower flat fees for an uncontested divorce because it is mostly just paperwork and there are no hearings in most cases. When you pay us the attorney fees then we prepare and send you your uncontested divorce documents for both of you to sign and return to us to file.
You also must pay the filing fee in order for us to file the case for you. Once it is filed, the judge must wait thirty days to sign your divorce decree.

Review of BUCKING THE SARGE by Christopher Paul Curtis.
by Rose Brock
Curtis, Christopher Paul. 2004. BUCKING THE SARGE. New York: Wendy Lamb Books. ISBN 0385901593.
Departing from The juvenile historical fiction genre, Curtis's young adult work is set in present-day Flint, Michigan, and
tells the story of Luther, a teen whose life is controlled completely by his ruthless mother, known by all as the Sarge. Operating
as a loan shark, scam artist, and slum lord, the Sarge controls all in her path, especially Luther. While Luther yearns to
become a philosopher, his life is consumed by fulfilling the duties required by his mother. Whether it is cleaning out the
found remains in homes of those recently evicted by his mother or caring for the elderly men at the group home where he resides,
Luther's disdain for his mother's lack of values and ethics become more and more unsettling for the teen. After suffering
at the hands of mother and her cronies for years, Luther finally has enough and acts on an opportunity to get his life back
in order.
Curtis's choice in narration is a perfect fit; whether sharing about his dreams of a more noble life or the age of the
condom in his wallet, Luther's first-person point-of-view offers readers a story filled with humor and wit. Especially amusing
are scenes between Luther and Sparky, his "womb to tomb" best friend who plays a convincing role as sidekick. Curtis's
treatment of the other secondary characters is also notable; their interactions with Luther and the Sarge provide additional
depth and amusing complications to the story. While the theme of good versus evil is often overused, Curtis's created battle
never feels tired. In fact, readers will find themselves cheering Luther on as he finds the courage to seek appropriate revenge
on his mother, and they will be sufficiently satisfied and left with a smile by the story's end.
