Large sized fruit from a dwarf, self fertile tree....doesn't get any better than this. Try a Holiday Avocado in a large container for fresh, good tasting fruit just outside your door. The Holiday bears August to January.....approx Labor Day to New Year's, thus the origin of its name. Growth on this tree is to about 10 to 12 feet tall if never pruned, but can easily be kept pruned to desired size and shape. A type "A" variety hardy to about 30°s, so be sure to move the container to a more protected spot during cold winter nights, or create a cold frame over the tree if planted in the ground. The Holiday bears large, 15 to 30 oz fruit with excellent flavor. The avocados hold well on the tree. Shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthier tree when planted in yard or garden. Enjoy this tree!

Frequently Asked Questions
Expand All
What is the best way to prepare the soil in advance of planting an avocado tree?
Avocados like loose, rich, well draining soil. Blend any planting mix or potting soil into the dirt you take out of the hole prior to planting, and when placed back into the ground around the root ball, soil drainage and fertility will be improved. Avoid any manure based mix, as these have a tendency to be too salty.
Any suggestions on the best way to irrigate a newly planted avocado tree?
Water well after planting, and then water such that the soil stays consistently moist, not soggy or dry. It is o.k. for the soil to be moist all the time, just not squishy soggy.
Any other tips?
Handle the root ball carefully, making sure you maintain its integrity. Plant such that the top of the root ball is even with the top of the ground.
What makes Holiday Avocado special?
This tree will treat you to 15 to 30 ounce fruit on a dwarf tree. An excellent choice if space is at a premium and you desire fresh, home grown avocados.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 23 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by lpenny Good product, great quality I like the crockpot itself. Don't know if I would purchase just because it stirs. I did not like the way the lid clamped, I prefer it to clip to handles on the side. It didn't seem like if felt secure and had a good seal. I use my crock-pot more for meats then I do for soups or chilies, so the stirring feature would not be something that caused me to purchase. The look of the machine is great; love the stainless steel and digital settings. I'm not crazy about having two plugs (one for crock and one for stir mechanism), because it means I have to unplug something in my kitchen to use the entire outlet for the crock-pot. Overall, it is well made, looks good and works well...just isn't something I would purchase on my own. September 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Felicia Nice Product This crock pot is unique in that it has a stirring attachment. I like the way this crock pot looks, very attractive. It has a great digital readout that you can use to set the timer and also lets you see how much time is left. It has a great feature that when the timer is done, it automatically sets itself to "warm." I like the locking lid and it comes with two stirring attachments. The stirring mechanism is okay. It doesn't really do a full stir, but swishes the food back and forth. It has its own controls so you can do a manual stir. It automatically stirs the food for 5 minutes every hour. I like that you can use it without the stirring attachment as well. It is a nice crockpot overall. NOTE: I was given this product to test. September 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susanlo Great crockpot The new I-stir crock pot worked out well. I was afraid the stirring may be too rough on the chilis and stews and break the vegetables, but it wasn't. It cooked everything well and kept it stirred without opening the lid. You can even use it without the stirring device if you were making a roast or something. The lid has a rubber seal and locks on both sides to keep it sealed while stirring. This helped things get hot really quickly and stay hot. You may be able to shorten some of the cooking times of your recipes. I am glad to have had the opportunity to sample and review this product. September 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MamaDonna Crock Pot My favorite crock pot recipe is for Swiss Steak. Coming home from work to experience the aroma of that meal filling the house is so theraputic. So wonderful to not have to put down my purse and start supper as it is already deliciously prepared in my old crock pot. One of the reasons I have shied away from recipes that needed to be stirred is because I wasn't home to provide that needed element; however, it would be great to be able to have a stirring mechanism that would stir soups, etc., and then I could utilize all the delicious recipes. This is a boon to all cooks. January 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacca1225 Love it! I was extremely happy with this crockpot. I no longer have to leave my guests to go stir the dip 10 times because the cheese is burning on the sides. It was nice to be able to throw everything in and walk away. I used to say that crockpots should come with a stirring aspect - so imagine my surprise when I find out I get to test this for free! All my guests were pretty impressed as well, it was a big hit! I love the way it looks too, very modern and up-to-date September 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 iStir Crock Pot This product has a few great features. You can take the auto-stir adapter off and use as a regular crock pot or you can use the iStir adapter so your food stirs every 30 minutes. I also liked that you can press the button and have it stir whenever you want. The size of the pot is a standard size which is great. The digital timer also comes in handy for a meal that only needs to be warmed up. I am glad I received this crock pot as a sample to review. I love it! September 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by kmomof2 great crockpot having the stir feature this product is easy to use and love that it has the stir option for soups and stews and also you can use it without it too. Love that it has a timer and it goes by minute too not just hours like others. Kept my chili and soup from sticking and evening cooking. I obtain this product as a sample for review. The size and value is outstanding i would recommend this would be the only crockpot you would ever need with having the stir function. September 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mimi I like this slow cooker I like this slow cooker. I have had several types of slow cookers over the years and have never seen one with a stirring lid, and I found that it is quite useful for things that you would normally stir regularly when made conventionally, like soups or stews, really anything with a significant sauce or amount of liquid and smaller pieces that wouldn't break up when stirred. I also like that it has cord storage which is always a problem for me. Overall I liked the product. I received this product as a sample to review. September 7, 2013

CSX Puts A Little Muscle Into National Campaign Supporting Wounded Warrior Project®
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its continued commitment to honor military veterans and their families, CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX) launched the "Drop and Give Them 10" campaign, a national fundraiser for Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP).
The "Drop and Give Them 10" campaign runs through May 29.
"At CSX, we are grateful for the courageous service of our nation's military veterans to protect our hard-won freedoms," said Michael J. Ward, chairman, president and CEO. "To honor their service and sacrifice, we're inviting people across the nation to help us 'push up' support for Wounded Warrior Project® – an amazing organization that helps critically injured service men and women return to productive civilian lives."
Here's how it works: Now through May 29, when you do 10 pushups and log them on http://www.dropandgivethem10.com/, CSX will donate $1 to Wounded Warrior Project®. If you post a picture or your experience, CSX will donate an additional $1 up to $50,000 total. Just don't forget to use the #GiveThem10 hashtag when sharing tweets or Instagram images.CSX has a long-standing commitment to hiring America's veterans and reservists. Nearly one in five CSX employees has served in the military, and many continue to hold Reserve or National Guard status. In April 2013, CSX was ranked first on the list of Top 10 Companies for Veterans by DiversityInc. About Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) began when several veterans and friends, moved by stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq, took action to help others in need. What started as a desire to provide comfort items to wounded service members at Walter Reed Army Medical Center has grown into a holistic rehabilitative effort to assist warriors with visible and invisible wounds as they recover and transition back to civilian life. Tens of thousands of injured servicemen and women, family members, and caregivers receive support each year through WWP programs. Learn more by visiting woundedwarriorproject.org.

Photo gift tags help kids connect the gift with the giver
Tracy's smart gift-labeling hack:
In our family, a lot of gifts get exchanged where my daughter is the "giver". Many of these gifts go to other young children (the cousin gift exchange, classroom gift exchange, etc.). We use those "mini petite" pictures you get with many of the in-studio photo packages as gift tags. This helps the recipient recognize the gift giver. (It also makes me feel like we're not letting those useless little pictures go to waste :)

Kanye West Latest Celeb Killed On The Web
Kanye West may be a lot of things - a disgruntled rapper, a misunderstood genius, a Taylor Swift hater - but one thing he is not, is dead.
Contrary to the latest web rumor that claims West died in a car accident in Los Angeles Tuesday night, he is very much alive.
The rumor, which sent search engines on Google and Twitter into a tizzy early Wednesday, was tracked to the user named "4chan."
As of Wednesday afternoon, "RIP Kanye West" remains on top of Twitter's "trending topics" list.
In the bogus report, West was said to have been the fatal victim of an accident involving two custom cars.
The accident, according to the rumor, left "Kanye West dead, a second injured, a third arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter and a fourth person was detained by police."
The report was later debunked by Los Angeles authorities, and further discredited by West's girlfriend, model Amber Rose.
"This 'RIP Kanye West' topic is not funny and it's NOT TRUE!," Rose tweeted Wednesday. "It's in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It's totally disrespectful to make up a story like this."
West is just the latest celebrity killed on the internet. Just last week, actor Zach Braff was reported dead after someone posted a fake CNN article claiming he had died from an apparent drug overdose.
Last month, many believed famed "The Price Is Right" host, Bob Barker had passed away after his name became a trending topic. The mention, which was initially sparked by Barker's appearance on a cable wrestling show, turned out to be a mere misunderstanding.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Washington state dispatcher sends mom to rescueApril 2, 2013 @ 6:13 am
CATHLAMET, Wash. (AP) - A 911 dispatcher in Washington state called on her own mother to rescue a stranded boater in the Columbia River, knowing her mother could kayak to the area faster than sending the sheriff's office patrol boat.
The sheriff's office says a 45-year-old kayaker was hanging onto a log piling Sunday after her kayak sank in swift current near a jetty.
The Daily News reports ( http://is.gd/hz2NYs) Wahkiakum (wah-KY'-uh-kum) County dispatcher Raedyn Grasseth notified the sheriff's office and then realized her mother, Cindy Faubion, and other members of Grasseth's family lived nearby and could get there quicker.
They paddled to the piling in a kayak and skiff and rescued the kayaker.
The kayaker was cold and shaken but didn't need medical attention.

About Donkeys
What exactly is a donkey? Where do they come from? Are they stupid? Why do we speak of "donkey's years"? Here are the answers to these questions and more.
The donkey is properly known by the Latin name Equus asinus. He is also known as the ass, sometimes called a moke (originally by Welsh gypsies), a burro by Spanish-influenced Americans, and as a cuddy by some Scots.
Origins and Characteristics
Donkeys are related to horses and ponies, which are naturally native to lush grasslands, prairies and steppes. However, donkeys are adapted to the marginal desert land, so their food needs are less.
Due to their physical characteristics, particularly at the shoulder, donkeys are slower and less powerful than horses, although they do have an initial turn of speed over a short distance.
Wild Donkeys
In the wild, donkeys live further spread out from each other than horses. Hence they have amazing voices, which can carry up to two miles, and of course their delightful ears which are bigger than horses' so they can more easily hear a distant neighbour.
There are still several types of donkey living wild in various places in the world:
" the Kiang in India and Nepal
" the Onager in Mongolia, Turkestan, Iran and Syria
" the Somali wild ass in Africa, which has zebra-like striped legs
" the Nubian ass, also in Africa, which has a shoulder stripe and a dorsal stripe, forming the famous cross. (The domestic donkey often also displays these markings.)
There are also feral donkeys living in places such as the Mohave desert, in the south-west USA, where they thrive. These are not truly wild animals, but descendants of domestic donkeys that have escaped or been set free.
Wild donkeys stand between 10 hands (102 cm) and 14 hands (142 cm) high. Most domestic donkeys are in much the same height range. However, a miniature donkey is under 9 hands (91 cm) when adult. At the other extreme, the American Mammoth and the French Poitou donkeys can stand up to 17 hands (173 cm).
Donkey Colours
Domestic donkeys come in a wide range of colours: from black to white, through every shade of grey and brown, even pink, which is correctly known as pale strawberry roan. They also come in broken colours, bi- and tri-colours being very popular as they are rarer.
Intelligent Donkeys
We cannot be sure how man first came to cooperate with the donkey. (Yes, you do cooperate with a donkey! It is a highly intelligent animal which, unlike a horse, will not be commanded blindly into a situation of danger: donkeys would not make steeplechasers or three-day eventers.) However, due to their patience and persistence, donkeys found a very valid role as a surefooted pack animal and draught animal.
The donkey has an ill-founded reputation for being stubborn and stupid. This almost certainly reflects their handlers' characteristics rather than their own. It was often the less successful tradesmen that had donkeys, because they could not afford to keep horses, which have more expensive needs. Perhaps, like bad craftsmen, these tradesmen blamed their tools: the poor old donkey
Donkeys' Years
Donkeys can be very long lived. Donkeys of 60 years old have been recorded, but normally a 40 year old donkey is looked on as being elderly. You can appreciate why we refer to 'donkey's years' as being a long time (though this may also owe something to the length of donkeys' ears, a play on words!). Of course 'donkey work' is always demanding and arduous. It's not clear where the expression 'talking the hind legs off a donkey' comes from, though!
Donkeys in Britain
Donkeys were among the first animals after cats and dogs to associate with man, and were certainly one of the first draught animals used by man when he took up agriculture. They form the subject of many cave paintings in Europe and Africa.
In the Past
Donkeys originally arrived in Britain many centuries ago with the Roman legions. The Romans used them both as pack animals and harnessed four abreast to draw wagons full of supplies. The donkey soon found its place: wherever there was hard work and little reward.
Later we can find working donkeys, harnessed and drawing a carriage in Anglo-Saxon paintings, shown pulling a plough in Sussex on the Bayeux Tapestry and more recently there are many pictures of Queen Victoria driving her donkey. At the peak of their popularity there were 100,000 working donkeys in London, including a milking herd: donkeys' milk is very good for premature and delicate babies and children.
There are very few working donkeys in England today. A few farms are run with their help, they are companions to nervous horses and newly weaned foals, water is raised by them at Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight, and there are also donkeys fetching and carrying in Clovelly. But of course in many developing countries a donkey is a person's most prized possession, being its owner's tractor, family car, shopping trolley and companion, all rolled into one.
Today a donkey's life is a lot more tolerable even if it is spent working giving rides on a beach, as there are rules to ensure the donkeys are well looked after and not overworked or abused. Also there are organisations, the Donkey Breed Society being one, which look after the best interests of all donkeys: our slogan 'Working for all donkeys' sums it up. The Society was formed over 35 years ago and helps to oversee the well-being of donkeys in Britain today.
Nowadays it is much more likely that the donkeys you will see will be family pets, often being shown, driven, taken for walks, teaching youngsters to ride or just being a well-loved companion. It's true to say that most people have a soft spot for the donkey, and most donkeys have a soft spot for us too!

From Russia to Athens: A Holiday Tradition
By Jessica Luton
The semester is over on the UGA campus. But as we enter the holiday season, the Performing Arts Center continues its important work sharing culture with campus and the community.
The holiday ballet classic, "The Nutcracker," comes to the Classic Center Dec. 21-22 thanks to the State Ballet Theatre of Russia. With choreography still used today by Moscow's famous Bolshoi Ballet, the company will present this holiday favorite for the Athens-area community.
The production, which includes the familiar holiday music of Tchaikovsky, beautiful sets and costumes and the tale of a little girl's journey through a fantasy world of fairies, princes, toy soldiers and an army of mice, is a production for children and the young at heart alike. The production is the perfect activity to share with visiting family or friends, or just to get into the holiday spirit.
You can purchase tickets online for one of the three upcoming shows. And be sure to view the video preview of this outstanding ballet presentation of the holiday favorite.

Italian, about 1535
Pen and brown ink
11 5/8 x 8 1/2 in.
Parmigianino relied only on line to create gradations of light and shadow and to model his forms. A wide range of hatchings and cross-hatchings unify the drawing. Light diagonal lines create the open atmosphere of the sky, while darker cross-hatching shapes the substantive parts: David's muscular body, his fluttering cape, and the ground behind him.
Parmigianino used sure yet delicate contours to define David, but Goliath's head is a mass of wispy, waving lines of beard and hair providing the flimsiest of outlines. He suggested Goliath's sunken eyes with quickly jotted marks and enhanced the thrusting effect of David's dynamic step forward with his billowing cape. The sure ink lines and lack of corrections display the artist's instinctive and prolific draftsmanship. "He had no sooner taken a pen in his hand to learn to write than he began to draw marvelously," reported his biographer Giorgio Vasari.

Wednesday 28 March 1666
Up, and with Creed, who come hither betimes to speake with me about his accounts, to White Hall by water, mighty merry in discourse, though I had been very little troubled with him, or did countenance it, having now, blessed be God! a great deale of good business to mind to better purpose than chatting with him. Waited on the Duke, after that walked with Sir W. Clerke into St. James's Parke, and by and by met with Mr. Hayes, Prince Rupert's Secretary, who are mighty, both, briske blades, but I fear they promise themselves more than they expect. Thence to the Cockpitt, and dined with a great deal of company at the Duke of Albemarle's, and a bad and dirty, nasty dinner. So by coach to Hales's, and there sat again, and it is become mighty like. Hither come my wife and Mercer brought by Mrs. Pierce and Knipp, we were mighty merry and the picture goes on the better for it. Thence set them down at Pierces, and we home, where busy and at my chamber till 12 at night, and so to bed. This night, I am told, the Queene of Portugall, the mother to our Queene, is lately dead, and newes brought of it hither this day.1
- Donna Luiza, the Queen Regent of Portugal. She was daughter of the Duke de Medina Sidonia and widow of Juan IV. The Court wore the deepest mourning on this occasion. The ladies were directed to wear their hair plain, and to appear without spots on their faces, the disfiguring fashion of patching having just been introduced. — Strickland's Queens of England, vol. viii., p. 362. ↩

Wiley Rein has over 20 years of experience representing bankruptcy Trustees, receivers, and other liquidating agents in connection with complex liquidations of all sizes. Practice chair H. Jason Gold has served as bankruptcy Trustee and conducted the liquidation of over 400 business enterprises over the past 20 years.
Examples include:
- In re Computer Learning Centers
- In re Dornier Aviation (North America), Inc.
- In re RMG Business Enterprises Inc.
- In re McWane & Company
- In re XtremeSpectrum
- In re Bison Building Company
- In re Eagle Research Laboratories Inc.
- In re VMAC & EMR Joint Venture
- In re Diplomatic Language Services LLC
- In re Vijay K. Taneja
In recent years, Mr. Gold successfully accomplished two of the largest bankruptcy liquidations conducted in the Mid-Atlantic region:
- Mr. Gold served as chapter 7 Trustee in the publicly held Computer Learning Centers Inc. case, successfully liquidating 25 schools in 10 states and raising $30 million—largely from intangible assets—to benefit more than 9,000 mostly consumer and employee creditors. Computer Learning Centers was thought by many to be a near worthless enterprise when the case began, but diligent effort and sheer determination by the Wiley Rein team in the pursuit of value for the creditors resulted in a happy ending for the constituent parties. [See CLC completes bankruptcy sale, collecting $23M]
- Mr. Gold also served as Liquidating Trustee in the Dornier Aviation of North America case. By early 2009, Mr. Gold had already distributed funds to creditors in excess of 100 cents on the dollar with even more distributions expected. The principal component of the successful administration of the case was the winning and collection of a nearly $15,000,000 judgment on behalf of the Liquidating Trust by a team of Wiley Rein attorneys, led by Bankruptcy partner Alexander M. Laughlin. [See Dornier Aviation of North America Bankruptcy Trustee Announces Settlement of Litigation with China's Hainan Airlines]
In addition to their expertise in conducting complex liquidations, Wiley Rein's Bankruptcy & Financial Restructuring professionals have extensive experience in investigating allegations of fraud, misconduct, ineffective corporate governance, and the undervaluation of assets. Bankruptcy Trustees are regularly confronted with evidence suggesting wrongdoing or misconduct on the part of a corporate Debtor. Further, in cases where wrongdoing is suspected and no Trustee has been appointed, the Bankruptcy Code allows parties in interest to request the appointment of a bankruptcy examiner to conduct an investigation of the Debtor's affairs. The attorneys in the Bankruptcy & Financial Restructuring Practice have decades of experience representing bankruptcy Trustees and conducting corporate investigations of all types. That experience, together with our ability to draw on attorneys from other practice groups within the firm, renders our Team well suited to conduct thorough and efficient investigations of corporate wrongdoing. Should fraud or misconduct be discovered, Wiley Rein's decades of litigation experience and our familiarity with bankruptcy courts across the country enable us to aggressively pursue liability against the responsible parties, thereby enhancing the return to creditors of the bankruptcy estate.
Currently, Mr. Gold is serving as the chapter 11 Trustee for the Bankruptcy Estates of Vijay K. Taneja, a regional developer and mortgage lender, as well as the Liquidating Trustee under the Trust created pursuant to the confirmed chapter 11 plan. Mr. Taneja was convicted of multiple counts of mortgage fraud in what is generally considered to be the largest Ponzi scheme case in the Washington, DC region in decades.

Rev. Judy Howard Peterson is passionate about communicating good news in everyday language and travels extensively speaking to audiences about how to put feet to their faith. Her passion for walking it out took the form of walking across the United States for her internship toward her master of divinity at North Park Theological Seminary. While the walk across the United States is how Judy first received the name "walking pastor," it is her day-to-day desire to walk intimately with Jesus and intentionally into the lives of others that continues to make the title well deserved. If asked why she keeps the title she will say, "I know I have places yet to go and God is not finished with me yet. I am on a journey just like everyone else and it is my greatest joy to be a fellow traveler."
Judy has served congregations in both Madison, Wis., and Elgin, Ill. Judy is the campus pastor at North Park University where she walks alongside students as they seek after Jesus. She also continues to give her time to local speaking and teaching opportunities as well as national and international conference speaking. Her down-to-earth approach and her enthusiasm for squeezing the most out of life are both uncommon and contagious. Judy is happily married to Jeff Peterson and they live in Chicago.
Or if you prefer a shorter version: "Judy loves God and loves people and tries to keep it simple."

One of my irritations with liberal theology is that it pretends to be slightly different from orthodox Christianity while it is usually 180 degrees apart on the essentials of the faith. Please note that by "liberal theology" I don't mean the theology of political liberals. I am referring to people who call themselves Christians but deny the essentials of the historic faith (i.e., the kinds of things countless martyrs died for).
For example, claiming that Jesus is one of many paths to God isn't a little different than saying He is the only way, it is the opposite. There is either one way or there is not one way.
Claiming that Jesus isn't God isn't a little different than saying He is God, it is the opposite. He is either God or He is not God.
Claiming that the original writings of the Bible were not inspired by God isn't just a little different than saying they were inspired by God, it is the opposite. The Bible is God's Word or it is not God's Word. It makes roughly 3,000 claims to speak for God, so if liberal theologians think those are all false then why do they bother with the Book at all?
Claiming that miracles never happen (Virgin birth, loaves & fishes, healings, the physical resurrection, etc.) isn't just a little different than saying they did happen, it is the opposite.
Claiming that marriage can be for two men or two women isn't a little different than saying it is between a man and a woman, it is the opposite. It is claiming that marriage is not just between a man and a woman and that "marriage" is now whatever we want to define it to be.
Liberal theology claims the opposite of what historic, orthodox Christianity claims regarding the essentials of the faith. They are entitled to their opinions, of course, but it is disingenuous and misleading for them to call themselves Christians while espousing those beliefs.
They have invented their own religion, which is their right. It would just be less confusing if they would give it a new name. And it would be more intellectually honest to stop taking money from people who do believe in the essentials that those denominations were founded upon.
As Total Transformation would say, they appear to worship a fictional Gandhi-Christ. It appears to me that the most accurate description would be that of a Hindu sect (nothing personal, Hindus!).

US Congress Library to Archive Billions of Tweets Sent by Americans
News from WASHINGTON DC –The Library of the United States Congress, repository of the world's largest collection of books, has set for itself the enormous task of archiving something less weighty and far more ephemeral — Americans' billions of tweets.
The venerable US institution is assembling all of the 400 million tweets sent by Americans each day, in the belief that each of the mini-messages reflect a small but important part of the national narrative.
"An element of our mission at the Library of Congress is to collect the story of America, and to acquire collections that will have research value," according to Gayle Osterberg, director of communications at the library.
The Library of Congress, located off the National Mall in Washington, houses millions of hard copy books and historic documents, and its online archives amass millions of additional works produced by Americans for more than two centuries.
Now it wants to be keeper of the nation's brief Internet messages as well: Twitter in April 2010 inked a deal with the Library, giving it access to tweets dating back to the company's inception in 2006.
Photo taken on October 8, 2012 shows the main reading room at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. The Library of Congress, repository of the world's largest collection of books, has set for itself the enormous task of archiving Americans' billions of tweets.
The Library of Congress is assembling all of the 400 million tweets sent by Americans each day, in the belief that each of the mini-messages reflect a small but important part of the national narrative.
Collecting the 140-character micro-missives, said Osterberg, is in keeping with the library's main goal "to collect the story of America and to acquire collections that will have research value."
One major challenge to the Library, however, is storing the messages from the popular social messaging site, which now number 170 billion. Twitter last month said the number of active users on the messaging platform has topped 200 million, most of whom are in the United States.
Tweets that have been deleted or that are locked will not be among those gathered by the Library of Congress.
Among the messages to be preserved for posterity are the first-ever tweets sent by one of the company's founders, Jack Dorsey.
Also saved for all time is a famous tweet sent by President Barack Obama after his historic November 2008 victory to claim the White House in his first term.
"We just made history. All of this happened because you gave your time, talent and passion. All of this happened because of you. Thanks," read the micro-message from the famously tech-savvy US president.
Unlike traditional bound books or even digital web pages, the real challenge of preserving tweets is keeping up with their number, which has continued to grow almost exponentially.
There were 140 million tweets sent each day in February 2011, but more than three times as many — about a half billion — by October 2012.
The Library of Congress's tweets are being stored by Gnip, Inc., a social media aggregation company headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, which has put more than 133,000 gigabytes of storage space available.
Gnip says it is a particular challenge to gather tweets during "peak" times, such as news event watched the world over like the Japanese tsunami in March 2011, which generated many thousand tweets per second.
It has proven to be a Herculean challenge for Gnip to make tweets accessible to all those who wish to view them.
So far it has been unable to meet the demands of researchers worldwide who hope to access the archive. Even a search among the first four years of tweets, from 2006 to 2010, could take about 24 hours.
"It is clear that technology to allow for scholarship access to large data sets is lagging behind technology for creating and distributing such data," said a recent white paper published by the Library of Congress.
"This is an inadequate situation," the Library concluded, calling the massive archiving project "prohibitively costly."
And yet Lee Humphreys, a professor of communication at Cornell University in New York, said that the brief online messages can reveal volumes "about the culture where they were produced."

A cantankerous, obsessive-compulsive writer fights himself for the affections of a down to earth waitress. It's love at first sight, but she doesn't know it yet.
Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt both won Oscars for their performances in the romantic comedy As Good As It Gets (1997).
As Good as It Gets -- A single mother/waitress, a misanthropic author, and a gay artist form an unlikely friendship
As Good as It Gets -- The Academy Award(r)-winning (best actor Jack Nicholson, best actress Helen Hunt) offbeat comedy celebrates the unique bond between three very different characters. Also stars Greg Kinnear.
A romance novelist Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson), who suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, takes pride in his ability to offend. At a nearby cafe, the only waitress willing to stand up to his sarcastic tirades is Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt), a single mother struggling to raise her chronically asthmatic son. In Melvin's West Village apartment building, talented contemporary artist Simon Nye (Greg Kinnear) lives across the hall from Melvin.

Hadoop is fast becoming a preferred way to deal with huge or unstructured data. Examples of common uses for Hadoop include ecommerce data, web log data, XML objects and many other kinds of critical business data. Tableau came up with its connector for Cloudera's Distribution Including Apache Hadoop (CDH) last year. Native connectivity to MapR's open, enterprise-grade distribution for Apache Hadoop is possible through Tableau 7.0.7. Tableau and MapR together provide fast, easy and dependable access to big, unstructured data sets and the ability to see and understand them in real-time.
MapR has recently teamed up with Nimbula to enable creation of Hadoop Clusters on the latter's private cloud with ease.
"MapR's advanced distribution for Apache Hadoop combined with Tableau's visual analytics will help businesses across industries gain insights from their big data," said Alan Geary, sr. director of business development, MapR Technologies. "MapR is used by some of the world's most reputable companies who will now be able to visualize and analyze complex, unstructured data in new ways."
"The complexity and size of data can be overwhelming for many large enterprises," said Chris Stolte, chief development officer, co-founder and inventor of Tableau Software. "The promise to see and understand data, no matter how large and complex, is made easier when Tableau and MapR bring it to life."
With Tableau 7.0.7, Japanese customers will enjoy the ability to interact with data in their native language. Japanese is Tableau's third localized delivery this year, as the company introduced Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese in the first half. French and German versions are also available. Tableau assures to more localized versions according to the demand from customers around the world.
