one who serves as part of an organized armed force
(Redirected from Knight)
Soldiers are members of the armed forces.
- Where is Christ, the King? In heaven, to be sure. Thither it behooves you, soldier of Christ, to direct your course. Forget all earthly delights. A soldier does not build a house; he does not aspire to possession of lands; he does not concern himself with devious, coin-purveying trade. … The soldier enjoys a sustenance provided by the king; he need not furnish his own, nor vex himself in this regard.
- Basil of Caesarea, Ascetical Works p. 9
- It is a hard trade, and one that does things to you as a man; that changes you from one sort of man into another. It is not easy to be a good soldier, and for a middle-class intellectual who had spent most of his conscious life in the sedentary pursuit of finding words for things he believed he felt, it was an almost impossible life. For years I had not awaked in the morning before ten, and loved to lie abed; now I was up daily before dawn. I had always avoided walking when I could ride; and now spent hours every day marching all over the landscape. And the intellectual is likely to find his likely to find his greatest satisfaction (perverted as it is) in long periods of solitude when he can justify his loneliness by looking down upon his fellow man. "You're in the ar-my now," the boys would sing, "you're not be-hind the plow. You'll never get rich, you son of a bitch..." You're in the army now, and when you're in the army you learn to keep a large part of your precious individualism to yourself. An army of individualists cannot function in the field, and this the Spanish people had learned to their sorrow earlier in the war, when individualized units recruited independently by dozens of political parties and trade unions had done a beautiful job of failing to cooperate with each other- while demonstrating determination and heroism that will be remembered so long as there are men to whom the defense of democracy is more than a hackneyed phrase.
- Alvah Bessie, Men in Battle: A Story of American in Spain (1939), p. 54
- Every soldier in every army is taught first off to be neat and clean, to keep his clothes in good repair, his buttons sewed on and his shoes polished, his face and hands and body washed, his beard shaved. He is respectful to his officers and stands at attention when he is addressed; he moves with precision about his business, walking as a soldier should, head up, chin in, arms at his sides.
- Alvah Bessie, Men in Battle: A Story of American in Spain (1939), p. 82
- The sun beat upon our heads and we lay there wondering what was going on in our particular sector, what was the significance of the intermittent firing, whether we were advancing or holding our own. For to the average soldier battle always remains a chaos and an impression of immense confusion; he has only a worm's-eye view of the affair; he has no way of knowing what it's all about. One minute he is advancing under fire; the next he is lying low; the next withdrawing. He receives definite orders and they are immediately countermanded; he rarely sees the enemy and the fire that is directed at him assumes astonishing impersonality, as though it were independent of any human agency.
- Alvah Bessie, Men in Battle: A Story of American in Spain (1939), p. 227
- Ay me! what perils do environ
The man that meddles with cold iron!
- Samuel Butler, Hudibras, Part I (1663-64), Canto III, line 1.
- Earth! render back from out thy breast
A remnant of our Spartan dead!
Of the three hundred grant but three,
To make a new Thermopylæ!
- Lord Byron, Don Juan (1818-24), Canto III, Stanza 86.
- His breast with wounds unnumber'd riven,
His back to earth, his face to heaven.
- Lord Byron, The Giaour (1813), line 675.
- When the final taps is sounded and we lay aside life's cares,
And we do the last and glories parade, on Heaven's shining stairs,
And the angels bid us welcome and the harps begin to play,
We can draw a million canteen checks and spend them in a day,
It is then we'll hear St. Peter tell us loudly with a yell,
"Take a front seat you soldier men, you've done your hitch in Hell."
- Frank Bernard Camp, "Our Hitch in Hell", st. 6, in American Soldier Ballads (1917), p. 21
- A better known variant was later used as an epitaph of PFC Cameron, USMC, at Lunga Point Cemetery, Guadalcanal:
- And when he goes to Heaven
To Saint Peter he will tell:
Another Marine reporting , Sir;
I've served my time in Hell!
- Samuel Eliot Morison, History of United States Naval Operations in World War II, Vol. 5: The Struggle for Guadalcanal (1949), p. x.
- And when he goes to Heaven
- For the army is a school in which the miser becomes generous, and the generous prodigal; miserly soldiers are like monsters, but very rarely seen.
- Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote (1605-15), Chapter XXXIX.
- You cannot make soldiers of slaves, or slaves of soldiers, the day you make a soldier of them, is the beginning of the end of the revolution. And if slaves seem good soldiers, than our whole theory of slavery is wrong.
- Senator Howell Cobb, as quoted in The Civil War
- For the helmsman is recognized in the tempest; in the warfare the soldier is proved.
- Make every private Sentinel, every Musquetier, both Judge, Jury, and Executioner.
- Daniel Defoe, "Memoirs of the Church of Scotland" (1717)
- We see human heroism broken into units and say, this unit did little – might as well not have been. But in this way we might break up a great army into units; in this way we might break the sunlight into fragments, and think that this and the other might be cheaply parted with. Let us rather raise a monument to the soldiers whose brave hearts only kept the ranks unbroken and met death – a monument to the faithful who were not famous, and who are precious as the continuity of the sunbeams is precious, though some of them fall unseen and on barrenness.
- George Eliot, Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Chapter 16 (at page 158)
- With a soldier the flag is paramount.
- Ulysses S. Grant, as quoted in Around the world with General Grant: a narrative of the visit of General U. S. Grant, ex-President of the United States, to various countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa, in 1877, 1878, 1879 : to which are added certain conversations with General Grant on questions connected with American politics and history (1879), by John Russell Young, p. 448
- Inquiry shall likewise be made about the professions and trades of those who are brought to be admitted to the [Christian] faith. ... A soldier of the civil authority must be taught not to kill men and to refuse to do so if he is commanded, and to refuse to take an oath; if he is unwilling to comply, he must be rejected. ... If a catechumen or a believer seeks to become a soldier, they must be rejected, for they have despised God.
- Hippolytus of Rome, Apostolic Tradition
- And though ten out of twelve had fallen, still the last two, sure as death, were to be bound on the first evening of rest over the bottle, drinking a silent health to their death companions, talking and laughing over all they had been through. For dangers past - an old soldier laughs. For those to come - a full glass, though death and the devil grinn there, as long as the wine was good. Such has ever been the custom of war.
- Ernst Jünger, Storm of Steel, p 140
- The use of children as soldiers in armed conflict is among the most morally repugnant practices in the world, as illustrated by this Los Angeles Times photo essay. Children are combatants in nearly three-quarters of the world's conflicts and have posed difficult dilemmas for the professional armies they confront, including the United States'.
- Approximately 300,000 children are believed to be combatants in some thirty conflicts worldwide. Nearly half a million additional children serve in armies not currently at war, such that 40 percent of the world's armed organizations have children in their ranks.
- Eben Kaplan, "Child Soldiers Around the World", Council on Foreign Relations, (December 2, 2005).
- Since as a rule only the king could afford to hire mercenaries in bulk they strengthened both King and nobles against the people with whom they had no ties or sympathy. While much more expensive than native troops, they left no troublesome widows and orphans; and at the end of the campaign they could be sent away unlike a country's own men coming home from the wars.
- V. Kreman, "Foreign Mercenaries and Absolute Monarchy", Past and Present, 69 (1958).
- The development of an international legal framework to control the use of mercenaries started in the 1960's. At that time, the United Nations became concerned that the use of foreign mercenary forces could prevent and hinder the right to self-determination of peoples under colonial domination. What developed at the international level was a recognition that mercenary activities were an affront to the principles of sovereign equality, political independence and territorial integrity of states.
- Marie-France Major, "Mercenaries and International Law", J. Int'l & Comp. L. 103 (1992), p. 103.
- I'm supposed to be a soldier who never blows his composure, even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders.
- Marshall Mathers, "Like Toy Soldiers" (2004), Encore
- A dead soldier ties down no personnel behind the lines. A maimed soldier requires on average 40 personnel in the medevac chain.
- John Marshall, "Blinding Laser Weapons: Still Available on the Battlefield", British Medical Journal. 315 (7120): (29 November 1997), p. 1392.
- Step by step. Heart to heart. Left, right, left. We all fall down, like toy soldiers. Bit by bit torn apart, we never win, but the battle wages on for toy soldiers.
- Martika, "Toy Soldiers" (1988), Martika
- Most of the people who get sent to die in wars are young men who've got a lot of energy and would probably rather, in a better world, be putting that energy into copulation rather than going over there and blowing some other young man's guts out.
- Alan Moore, "The Craft" - interview with Daniel Whiston, Engine Comics (January 2005)
- It is vital... to establish facilities for providing sexual comfort [to the soldiers] as soon as possible.
- Okabe Naosaburo as reported by Karen Parker & Jennifer F. Chew, Compensation for Japan's World War II War-Rape Victims, 17 HASTINGS INT'L & COMP. L REV. 497, 503 (1994), citing "Order of June 27, 1938 by Okabe Naosaburo, Chief of Staff, Japanese Expeditionary Force in north China," reprinted in Rapes Sparked call for facilities, JAPAN TIMES, Aug. 5, 1992, p.3; as quoted in War Crimes Against Women: Prosecution in International War Crimes Tribunals, Kelly Dawn Askin, (1997), p. 49.
- Soldiers, you brave guys, who are your fathers?
Our fathers are Russian commanders, that's what our fathers are.
Soldiers, you brave guys, who are your mothers?
Our mothers are white tents, that's what our mothers are.
Soldiers, you brave guys, who are your sisters?
Our sisters are our sharp sabres and pikes, that's what our sisters are.
Soldiers, you brave guys, who are your wives?
Our wives are our loaded guns, that's what our wives are.
Soldiers, you brave guys, who are your children?
Our children are our well-aimed bullets, that's what our children are.

Our aunts are our ripped soles, that's what our aunts are.
Soldiers, you brave guys, who are your grandfathers?
Our grandfathers are glorious victories, that's what our grandfathers are.
Soldiers, you brave guys, what is your glory?
Our glory is Russian state, that's what our glory is.

Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,

Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth.

- William Shakespeare, Othello (c. 1603), Act II, scene 3, line 127.
- First, it's important to note that rape and war didn't always go together. For instance, European colonists wrote astonished letters home about how "even these savages" -- by which they meant the residents of this continent they were invading -- didn't rape, not even their women prisoners. But those were wars of self-defense. If you're going to get groups of men to risk their humanity, health, and lives in wars of offense, the traditional way is not to pay them a lot, but to addict them to the "cult of masculinity." You have to convince them they're not "real men" unless they kill and conquer. And, at its most basic, "masculine" means not being "feminine." On a continuum, it means controlling women, conquering women, raping women, even with objects: bottles and broom handles in "peacetime" here, and gun barrels and knives in Bosnia or Congo. There's a reason why it's a truism that rape is not sex, it's violence.
- Gloria Steinem in "Gloria Steinem on Rape in War, Its Causes, and How to Stop It" by Lauren Wolfe, The Atlantic, (Feb 8, 2012).
- When you talk about the mental health problems, when people come back from war and combat and they see things that maybe a lot of folks in this room have seen many times over and you're strong and you can handle it but a lot of people can't handle it. They see horror stories, they see events you couldn't see in a movie, nobody would believe it.

- Of boasting more than of a bomb afraid,
A soldier should be modest as a maid.

In battle lopt away, with half their limbs,
Beg bitter bread thro' realms their valour saved.
- Edward Young, Night Thoughts (1742-1745), Night I, line 250.
- There's an old Chinese saying that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Any time, just give me the chance. I'm prepared all the time.

- O Dormer, how can I behold thy fate,
And not the wonders of thy youth relate;
How can I see the gay, the brave, the young,

In joys of conquest he resigns his breath,
And, filled with England's glory, smiles in death.
- Joseph Addison, Campaign, To Philip Dormer.

In time of war, but not before;
And when war is over and all things are righted,
God is neglected and an old soldier slighted.

Are Privates who march with a spirit so strong.

You've an army at hand; your command is supreme;
And question yourself, as it goes on review—
Has it helped in the fight with the best it could do?

- Soldiers! When it is announced that a respected and beloved leader has died for our freedom in the course of the battle, do not grieve, do not lose hope! Observe that anyone who dies for his country is a fortunate man, but death takes what it wants, indiscriminately, in peace-time as well as in war. It is better to die with freedom than without it.
Our fathers who have maintained our country in freedom for us have offered us their life in sacrifice; so let them be an example to you!
Soldier, trader, peasant, young and old, man and woman, be united! Defend your country by helping each other! According to ancient custom, the women will stand in defence of their country by giving encouragement to the soldier and by caring for the wounded. Although Italy is doing everything possible to disunite us, whether Christian or Muslim we will unitedly resist.
shelter and our shield is God. May our attackers' new weapons not deflect you from your thoughts which are dedicated to your defence of Ethiopia's freedom.

- This extraordinary war in which we are engaged falls heavily upon all classes of people, but the most heavily upon the soldier.

- I have every confidence in the ultimate success of our joint cause; but success in modern war requires something more than courage and a willingness to die: it requires careful preparation. This means the furnishing of sufficient troops and sufficient material to meet the known strength of a potential enemy. No general can make something out of nothing. My success or failure will depend primarily upon the resources which the respective governments place at my disposal. My faith in them is complete. In any event I shall do my best. I shall keep the soldier's faith.

- Douglas MacArthur, address to a joint session of Congress, April 19, 1951, Congressional Record, vol. 97, p. 4125. According to The Home Book of Quotations, ed. Burton Stevenson, 9th ed., p. 2298h, col. 2 (1964), this is a line from a soldier's parody of a nineteenth century gospel hymn, "Kind Words Can Never Die". The parody was known at West Point where MacArthur was graduated in 1903. However, since the earliest printed version of the song "Old Soldiers Never Die" is found in the London publication, Tommy's Tunes, compiled by Frederick T. Nettleingham, p. 58 (1917), there is also the theory that the origin of the parody was English. That version's line read: "Old soldiers never die, they always fade away". Several other variations have been used by English authors: "They simply fade away", Frank Richards, Old Soldiers Never Die, chapter 23, p. 324 (1933); and "they only fade away", James Ronald, Old Soldiers Never Die, p. 7 (1942).
- The soldier, above all other men, is required to perform the highest act of religious teaching—sacrifice. In battle and in the face of danger and death he discloses those divine attributes which his Maker gave when He created man in his own image. No physical courage and no brute instincts can take the place of the divine annunciation and spiritual uplift which will alone sustain him.

- It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
- Attributed to General George S. Patton, speech at the Copley Plaza Hotel, Boston Massachusetts, June 7, 1945. These words were reported by William Blair in The New York Times, June 8, 1945, p. 6, and by Stephen Lynch in the Boston Herald, June 8, 1945, p. 1, 16 (where "the" appears as "these"). Other newspapers of that day have variant wordings. The speech was extemporaneous and is not included in his published papers. Biographers of Patton have used variant wordings of this quotation, and Mike Wallace as narrator of the 1965 David Wolper television production, General George Patton, quoted this as, "Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived". Patton had expressed himself in similar words at a memorial service at an Allied cemetery near Palermo, Italy, November 11, 1943: "I consider it no sacrifice to die for my country. In my mind we came here to thank God that men like these have lived rather than to regret that they have died". Harry H. Semmes, Portrait of Patton, p. 176 (1955).

This Solid UTP (unshileded twisted pair) Cat6 Bulk Ethernet cable is perfect for structured wiring installations. Category 6 cable
was design to perform at frequency of up to 550Mhz and offer higher performance for better transmission of data at speed up to 1000Mbps.
Ethernet Plenum Cat6 Cable: Plenum cable is cable that is laid in the plenum spaces of commercial and residential buildings
(dropped ceiling, raised floor). The plenum space is typically used to house the communication cables for computers and telephones.
However, these plenum spaces can become fire hazards. Since plenum spaces hold a fresh stream of oxygen, if a fire hits a plenum
space, the oxygen can feed and spread the fire through the entire plenum space throughout the structure. Plenum cable is coated
with a fire-retardant coating so that in case of fire it does not give off toxic fumes as it burns. For this reason, plenum cable
is used instead of regular cable to meet fire codes in place for laying communication cable in plenum spaces.

SKF Telescopic pillar helps medical OEMs boost sales
2014 March 05, 09:00 CET
Gothenburg, Sweden, 5 March 2014: SKF has launched a telescopic pillar for the movement of medical procedure equipment that enables OEMs to offer greater load capacity and speed in surgical chairs and tables compared to previous models. The SKF Telescopic pillar – series CPMT helps OEM customers to increase sales by providing equipment that meets market demands and increases patient throughput in busy healthcare centers.
The SKF Telescopic pillar – series CPMT is a three-section telescopic pillar that provides a low retracted length (320mm) combined with higher stroke capabilities than previous models. For procedure chairs the low height provides improved accessibility for patients, without compromising total extended height for clinical procedures. The high positioning speeds (up to 34mm/s) offer faster service to support clinical efficiency. The key benefits also include high load capacity, which is a particular benefit to manufacturers of surgical tables. In addition, the pillar offers OEM designers a whole range of flexibility features, such as a configuration option for high offset load capacity to provide high stiffness, and customizable threads on its outer surface for added attachment options.
"The clinics today are under pressure to contain rising healthcare costs by providing faster patient handling, which our new telescopic pillar enables. The telescopic pillars also make it easier for medical equipment manufacturers to meet the trend in the market towards higher patient weight, which not only requires greater load capacity from chairs and tables, but also easier accessibility. This need, increasingly supported by legislation, demands equipment lifting functions with extended performance ranges," says Andreas Druegemoeller, Medical & Health Care Global Industry Manager at SKF.
The SKF telescopic pillar brings a competitive advantage to OEMs by offering greater load carrying capacity and lifting speed from a component that is virtually maintenance free over its lifecycle.

I have been feeling good, once the initial caffeine withdrawal from the Coke zero addiction had worn off. This low GI, high protein eating keeps me fuller for longer. I haven't had a real sense of feeling 'hungry' since Day 2 when I ate all my rations by midday and had to last the afternoon by sipping water and counting the minutes until dinner.
The daily exercise has been hard to squeeze in. I have had a few 8km runs, a game of Futsal, but mostly I have been relying on my 30 Day Shred DVD (Thanks Jillian Michaels). I catch glimpses of myself in the windows as I jump up and down in the lounge room, usually in my bra, PJ pants and socks, and wonder if I haven't lost a few marbles.
I have been organised. I have been healthy. I have not faltered.
I have lost 2.5kgs.
Well on my way to being shredded. Well on the way to losing the last 5kgs. Well on my way to feeling in control of my eating. Already feeling a glimmer of positive body confidence.
I just need to keep the momentum.
How are you going? What are the biggest contributors to your success?

A transcript of Charles Woodson's conference call with the Bay Area media Wednesday, a day after he signed with the Raiders:
Q: As you were making the trip, had you gotten wind of the fan support you were going to receive?
Woodson: Yeah, I had gotten word that they were going to do it. I didn't know if it was a fact that it was going to be done, but I got word it was going to happen.
Q: Your impression of driving in and the whole experience?
Woodson: I'll tell you, man, it was overwhelming. I think that if at any time I'd ever forgotten what the love was like in Oakland, I was definitely reminded yesterday.
Q: What factor would you say the fan gathering played a part in signing back with the Raiders?
Woodson: Oh, I think it played a big part. I think I was actually scared of leaving the facility and not having a deal done. I don't know if I would have made it out of there. But that was a big deal, and receiving that kind of welcome, it definitely put me in a mindset that it would be a good decision to make it happen.
Q: You'd talked about playing for a contender, Raiders coming off four-win season, what attracted you to come to Oakland after talking to other teams, including Denver?
Woodson: Well, that was definitely my sentiment going into free agency that I wanted to go and finish up somewhere that was on the verge. Certainly, a couple of teams that brought me in, San Francisco and Denver, obviously two teams that have that chance. Those two places didn't work out. Just as the process kind of rolled on, I knew I wanted to play football, regardless of really where I played. At that point I had to figure out what I wanted to do, and playing football was what I wanted to do so it was going to be somewhere, if it was a team that wasn't quite there but still is a team that is looking on the up, then I was going to do it. And I feel that the Raiders are a team that are looking on the up.
Q: Did the Raiders have to sell you on the idea that they were up and coming, or since you had a background with Reggie McKenzie, what role did that play?
Woodson: that definitely played a role because we're familiar with each other. But after talking to Reggie, I got a good feel about how he felt about the team and that just really gave me confidence that they're going in the right direction. Going into the facility yesterday, I felt good about where things stood, and if I signed I was going to be going to a team that has good players on the team. The game is about fundamentals and playing good football, and they have some good players, and if we can put it together then we'll win games.
Q: Was signing here a vote of confidence playing with Matt Flynn who you played with in Green Bay?
Woodson: I think the vote of confidence comes from the coaching staff. They brought him in here, Reggie brought him in here feeling that he was gonna be a big piece. My concern is playing on the defensive side. The offense will take care of itself, but I want to be a part of a defense that's gonna be a dominant defense, a defense that keeps us in games, and so I'm excited about that aspect of it and getting with a bunch of guys that are ready to fly to the football.
Q: You have always been known as a sure tackler, what do you bring to the Raiders?
Woodson: You know what, I'm just gonna bring the intensity. I'm a football player so I'm gonna bring a lot of intensity, somebody that's passionate about the game, and a guy that knows how to make plays. That's what I'm going to bring. I think when guys watch me play, I think that raises the level of other guys because of the way I play the game. I'm gonna bring that mindset, that mentality to the game, the same as I always have and have fun doing it.
Q: In 2002, Rod Woodson came in at about the same age you are now, and had one of his best seasons. Do you have that kind of season in you?
Woodson: I plan on it happening. I wouldn't be out there trying to continue to play if I didn't think it was going to happen. I would have just retired if I thought I couldn't go out there and be the best player on the field. I'm going in there with the mindset that i'm going to be the best player on the field. That's how I feel.
Q: Is the collarbone healthy?
Woodson: Collarbone is great.
Q: What position will you play, are you a safety now?
Woodson: Right now it probably will be the same it was last year, come in and play the safety role. I know they have guys they brought in at the corner position Jenkins, Porter and the young kid Hayden. Their corner position looks to be pretty solidified. I'll play my role at the back end and roam around the field and make plays.
Q: Have you talked to Tracy Porter about No. 24?
Woodson: No we'll definitely have to have that conversation. We haven't had it yet. Raider Nation has me back but I don't know if they'll have me back without the 24 on my back.
Q: What role did wine business in Napa have in your decision?
Woodson: Zero. This was all about football. It was all about continuing my football career and having an opportunity to go out there and help the team win. That's the bottom line for me.
Q: Do you have more of a role as a mentor at this point in your career?
Woodson: I'll do my part. I try to not to step on any coaches toes as far as what I'm telling the young guys or whjat I'm trying to give them. I told guys to ask questions and I'll always be there to answer those questions. Whatever I can do, whatever input I can give those guys that's definitely what I will do. If I could be a help to them and it will help us win ultimately I have to do it.
Q: Only Janikowski still around from your first time here, did you recognize a lot of other people in the building?
Woodson: Seabass is the only player but there were plenty of people that I still knew _ equipment guys, film guys, Willie Brown of course. It was great. It had been a while since I had seen Willie Brown. He is one of my favorite people ever. It was great to see him and give him a big hug. We always joke about who the real 24 is. It was good to have that back and forth with him. Getting the deal done and calling him and saying, 'Willie Brown, I'm coming back. The real 2-4 is coming back.' It felt good to be in that building. It felt good.
Q: Was there any talk about a role after playing days?
Woodson: I haven't thought about that. I haven't discussed that with anybody. Right now I'm just focused on learning what I need to learn as far as different terminology and understanding defense and the way it's played and getting in and helping this team develop.

Fall River Spirit Editor
Taylor Smith learned more about wolves from an unexpected nuzzle and lick than she could from any book or TV show.
The lesson came one recent afternoon as the eighth-grader came face to face with Magpie, a friendly 10-year-old wolf working the crowd in Fall River's Kuss Middle School gymnasium.
"It was really exciting," Smith said moments later, a smile still fixed on her face. "I just felt really happy. I have a dog at home but I've never experienced anything like this. Her yellow eyes look right into you. I felt a connection. She was really furry and soft, too."
Magpie and two of her friends, Zeab and Abraham, roamed the gym for about an hour under the watchful eye of Kent Weber and wife Tracy Brooks, co-founders of Mission: Wolf, a Colorado-based sanctuary for wolves and wolf-dog crosses that were born in cages and once held in captivity.
Weber travels the country to educate the public and correct misconceptions about the creatures through direct contact. He and the wolves get around in a hard-to-miss bus; a giant picture of Magpie decorates the rear.
Excited students sat in a circle on the gym floor as Weber prepared them to meet the wolves, emphasizing that if they stayed calm, the creatures would follow suit. He told them wolves are to be revered instead of feared and answered their questions about diet, habitat and personalities.
"Wild animals are not mean and wild animals are not aggressive, but they use their teeth like we use our hands," he said, noting that wolves can be unfairly criticized for their sharp choppers.
Weber told the students that humans actually could learn from wolves how to behave more appropriately in some instances. He said humans are "one of the only species" that show aggression when they lose self-control. Wolves often diffuse situations by ignoring whatever annoys them and walking away. The silent treatment commands respect from others, Weber said.
"It's something we could teach to young boys as a way to resolve conflict," Weber said.
The leashed wolves made several trips around the room, sniffing and kissing students along the way. They playfully wrestled and played with toys. Weber used towels to quickly clean up any unsightly accidents during the presentation.
Weber said he planned to reach 20,000 people across five states before heading home, where he cares for 37 wolves year-round. Mission: Wolf values education, sustainability and improving relationships between people, animals and the planet, according to the haven's mission statement.
Before he left, Weber taught the students how to howl in a fruitless attempt to prompt the wolves to do the same. He said he hopes the students someday get to see wolves in their natural habitat.
"You're all wolf teachers now," he told the children. "Apply these ideas of taking care of nature and respecting wild animals later in your life."
Rev. Robert Lawrence, active in Greater Fall River for years, facilitated Weber's visit. Kuss science teacher Sarah Chapin welcomed the crew with open arms, noting that eighth-grade students are learning about the importance of predators in the ecosystem and what can happen when humans intervene in nature. She got a friendly lick from one of the wolves, too.
"There's just a feeling of power coming from them," she said. "I don't have words to describe it."
According to Weber, close encounters like that are the most powerful teaching experiences in the world.
"You can show slide-shows all day, but that 30 seconds of face to face — there's nothing like it," he said.

Swimming with a Whale Shark
Steve Backshall swims with an 8 metre long Whale Shark. The clip contains some great footage of the fish feeding.
Am I jealous? Of course! I swam with this one in 1993 and will never forget the experience.
In case the clip above didn't satisfy your thirst for Whale Sharks, here is another one.

Made me wanna dust off this audio clip from 2007. (I swear, how does Coulter get away with saying such things?)

True, she's a detestably self-promoting provocateur (doubly redundant?) . . .
. . . who deserves none of the attention media bait-takers predictably swallow . . .
. . . but your too-clever typographic anagram in the head is distasteful, in my view, David.
Rise above, man. The high road is our friend.
Keep it real, sure, but keep it at least semi-clean. Even for a total biatch.

I just posted about Ann too. I've been seeing her on the news non-stop and I don't understand why, especially since I don't know who's buying her books. I think so many liberals buy her books so they can denounce her, yet it adds to her sales. She can't be good for business cause she hurts my eyes and ears. I hated that her jaw wasn't still wired shut.

When she spoke with Matt Lauer yesterday she said something about Michelle Obama looking like Jackie O on Halloween, or some such shyte.
You know, I couldn't help but think she wanted to say "Jackie O in black face." But damn those Liberals and political correctness.
Anyway, she needs an exorcist.
- January 8, 2009 at 12:33 PM
- bklyn6 said...
Oh, and Matt called her out on referring to Obama as "B. Hussein Obama" throughout the book. He mentioned how she didn't refer to Bush as "G. Walker Bush."
- January 8, 2009 at 12:37 PM
please forgive me, i'm new to this person's insanity. is her reading in the first person or in the third person?
i wonder how many times she practiced not saying "in black face" so as not to slip into a joke, i am sure, was told at many conservative holiday party circles.
btw, i thought the dirty word scramble was imaginative. wrong, but imaginative. :)

It's me cutting and pasting pieces from her last audiobook... basically substituting "Jews" for "liberals."

She's good for ratings, I suppose. She's a shock-jock - Howard Stern minus the salacity. We may not want to have a beer with people like her, but there's an attraction - and it's not physical.
I think it's best to simply ignore pugilists like Coulter and others, recognizing the fact that there is a bottomline to people like these.
They are "entertainers" who collect large sums of money for the "sleight-of-hand" shows they put on, which, apparently, unfortunately, many appreciate and are willing to pay for.
Given the way the last election went, dissing Michelle Obama will sell books.

Hey, you didn't make the word scramble up. It's the letters in her name.
p.s. You are so bad! I would expect anything LESS from you :)

I've come to the conclusion that she's a comedian... She's playing a character, just like Stephen Colbert... but she just stays in character all the time.
No way does she believe even half of the shit she says.

Build Anything. Drag n' Drop. No Coding Required. Watch this video to see it LIVE...
Hurry, Special Early Bird Offers Ends In...
Having bad website designs and ugly landing pages for your marketing campaigns is the reason
you're struggling to grow your business and you have starving account like this
For over 7 years now, we've been selling online and year over year, we've sold 10s of thousands of products and turned millions of dollars in revenue and that was only possible because we had leading-edge designers on our team.
Here are some recent checks we paid out last year to our designers...
USING THEMES: free themes are never awesome so you'll have to shell out $30 - $90 to buy a premium theme which is very constrained and in most cases niched in what they can do. Every theme is built with certain features which means it can't do anything outside of what it was framed to do and there goes your creativity completely thrown out the window.
It gets even worse when you want to play up with the design orientation, you're constrained by the already pre-made layout of the theme so you'll NEED TO BUY & INSTALL ANOTHER theme.
So fact is using themes doesn't just waste a lot of money, it consumes lots of times just to get the perfect look and feel you want for your website and if you have multiple sites across multiple niches then you'll be stuck buying, installing & configuring multiple themes pretty much forever (IT'S BORING, TIME CONSUMING & COSTLY).
USING PLUGIN TEMPLATES: Landing page plugins such as Optimise Press, Profit Builder, Insta Builder, Lead Pages are really awesome as they come with a lot of templates and usually easily to edit but the major problem is that they're usually just pre-built for the typical internet marketing/make money online niche... everything just looks the same.
But lets face the fact... Chances are you didn't buy a landing page plugin just so you can use it to create some quick sales page to sell another "10 ways to make money online" ebook.
So, just like you... we needed a way to create sleek, beautiful and high converting websites and pages for our real businesses without hiring a costly designer, or struggling to design & code the sites ourselves.
Using themes are hard as you can't really get creative with what you want and you're highly constrained by the themes layouts and features. And all the plugin templates we had or could find just had the same "make-money-online" style landing pages and layouts.
We needed a solution, and most of things we found on the market weren't good enough, some of them could create beautiful websites for sure but weren't really optimised for online marketing so we decided to create the ultimate solution that won't just knock out stunning pages but create pages that will strategically grow your businesses online, capture more leads and generate more sales daily.
The World's True Drag n' Drop Page Composer with Seamless Instant Actions Technology That Will Allow You to Build Innovative, Beautiful and Super-Intelligent Websites/Landing Pages in Minutes without Designing or Coding Anything Yourself.

Hi, I am trying to find software that will assist in the management of mice colonies. The software package or packages needs to be able to handle logistical information on groups of mice, breeding, genetic linkage, daily activities, etc. It would be nice if this software could be configured to run on portable machines so data collection would be less paper oriented. Also, the incorporation of bar-codes for data entry would be nice. Any leads would be appreciated, John Blue -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Blue, jlblue at indiana.edu Poplars Room 730 Computing Technology Assistance Center 400 East 7th Street 812-855-7530 Bloomington, Indiana 47405

But an announcement could come as early as this week, the people told the Journal.
5. -- Dell ( DELL), the personal computer maker, is expected by Wall Street Tuesday to post fourth-quarter earnings of 39 cents a share on revenue of $14.12 billion. Dell reached a deal earlier this month to go private in a $24.4 billion deal.

Chateau DevelopmentChateau Development
Chateau is an apartment complex that was needing to update their site signs & get better directionals in their communities. This project challenged our team to meet hard deadlines while working on a project like nothing any of us have done before. This project was hands down our biggest project of the year, plus one of the largest projects we've ever done! Our team managed to get everything done on time while being in the middle of one of our busiest years thus far. The 14 directionals we did were post/panel with vinyl on each side. The 18 monuments, 4 of those being brand new, were made of an aluminum box that went over top of existing signage with clear anodized aluminum lettering.

ION Security PLUNGER
Product Overview
- Aesthetic - Fully concealed wireless door sensor
- Simple to specify - Compatible with current DSC Wireless Receivers
- Easy to install - Only a drill, a 3/4 inch Forstner bit, and a 1/4 inch wood bit (for antenna insertion) are required
- Composition - Micro-processor, Micro-transmitter, Lithium Battery, Optimized Antenna for superior zone signal
- Long-life Battery - 5+ years (average rating)
A bulky home security system can be an eyesore. Adding to that stress is hard wire installation permanently altering the aesthetics of a room, door or window treatment. With its wireless connectivity and fully concealed platform, however, ION Security PLUNGER is a door security sensor that finally eliminates these pesky inconveniences.
ION Security's PLUNGER's easy 2-step installation process requires just three tools:
- Drill
- 3/4" Forstener Bit
- 1/4" Wood Bit (for antenna insertion)
Meant to fit snugly on the hinge-side door jamb to be concealed by the closed door, you simply drill a 1 inch deep hole using the 3/4 inch Forstner bit, followed by a 1/4" hole to be drilled into the center of the cavity where the antenna must be inserted. Once you feed the antenna into the 1/4" hole, you merely press and secure the ION PLUNGER into the open cavity, and your instillation is complete!
From then on your fear of any burglars spotting your motion sensors and finding alternate and less-secure entryways into your home or commercial space can be forgotten, because the ION Security Plunger is not only virtually invisible to the naked eye, but it uses a sophisticated wireless transmit that extends to 500 ft of any DSC wireless receiver - making it an ideal choice for installing within just about any door of your home or office.
The ION Security Plunger's battery-life is another one of it's convenient features, as its 3.0V Lithium Coin Cell Battery has an average life-span of about 5+ years, ensuring you and your family's safety will not be compromised by the vexing and easily-forgettable task of constantly having to replace your battery.
- Fully concealed wireless door sensor
- Dimensions: 1 in. deep x 3/4 in. wide
- Compatible with DSC wireless receivers
- 500 ft open air wireless transmit range
- 3.0V Lithium Coin Cell Battery
How It Works
A captive magnet within the plunger activates a reed switch when the plunger is depressed.
NOTE: The sensor typically protrudes .060" beyond the door jamb. Protrusion may vary slightly.
