Family Bird Fest - February 15
February 15, 2015, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Free with Garden admission
Grab your binoculars for a fun day in the Garden learning about our feathered friends. An educational celebration of all kinds of birds, this annual event highlights the behaviors and physical traits that enable them to survive and thrive. Birdwatchers of all ages can flock to the Garden for a day filled with activities and information for both beginners and enthusiasts.
The Family Bird Fest features knowledgeable birding exhibitors including members of Pomona Valley Audubon Society and Wild Wings of California with live raptors, bird life displays and drop-in family activities, sponsored in part by Pomona Valley Audubon Society.
Visitors can help with the "Great Backyard Bird Count," an international citizen-science project. The annual event engages people globally in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where birds are throughout the world.
Audubon, Cornell Lab and Bird Studies Canada take a snapshot of the whereabouts of many hundreds of bird species during the "Great Backyard Bird Count." In the past, participants identified 596 species and submitted more than 92,000 checklists, helping scientists track changes in the numbers and movements of birds from year to year. The Great Backyard Bird Count is a joint project of the Cornell Lab, Audubon and Bird Studies Canada. Visit www.birdcount.org to read a summary of the findings.
Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden provides an ideal setting to spot birds that live here or migrate to the region for warmer winter living. Step softly to see them nestled amid lovely ceanothus blossoms or high above in a cottonwood branch.
See photos from our 2011 Family Bird Fest.
Special Presentation at 12:30, featuring:
Sean C. Wilcox: Flight performance and sound production during courtship displays of male Black-chinned Hummingbirds (Archilochus alexandri)
About the Speaker: Sean is second-year Ph.D. student at University of California, Riverside. A native of Hacienda Heights, CA, Sean completed his B.S. and M.S. at Cal Poly Pomona. Sean is now studying hummingbird courtship behavior and flight performance. Hummingbirds perform aerial displays that seem to push the limits of their flight capacities and are therefore interesting in terms of honest signaling and communication between males and females.
About Sean's project:
Most forms of animal movement produce incidental sounds (Larsson, 2012). Some birds have evolved to utilize these sounds during courtship and territorial disputes (Miller and Inouye, 1983; Bostwick, 2006; Clark and Feo 2008; Hunter 2008). The athletic courtship displays of Black-chinned Hummingbirds (Archilochus alexandri) can be striking and strenuous, and include substantial sound production. Short-range "shuttle" displays are performed by males which fly acrobatically from side to side in view of a female (Baltosser and Russell, 2000). During these displays, wingbeat frequency increases dramatically, and trill sounds are produced as a male flies side to side (Baltosser and Russell, 2000; Feo and Clark, 2010). As a first step, linking the motion of the wings recorded with high-speed video and the sounds produced during the shuttle display will allow for a better comprehension of the relationship between sound and flight performance. Furthermore, this research will provide insights into the importance of flight sounds in relation to courtship, female choice, and reproductive success. This project will include substantial field work, providing an opportunity to introduce undergraduates to science, birds, and California habitats. Also, I will post videos of research subjects to YouTube as a means of disseminating my research to the public. I also would be honored to give a public presentation of my findings at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden.

About the Garden Walking Club
Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden's Walking Club was created to provide members and frequent visitors with the opportunity to participate in a safe, healthy and educational walking experience while enjoying social enrichment, community building, and the wonders of the Garden.
Walking club promotes:
- Physical and mental health
- Enjoyment and appreciation of our natural environment
- Awareness of one's surroundings, as well as ourselves
Walking club is free to join and participate in; register at the admission kiosk. Garden admission fees apply if participants are not RSABG members.
Track your route and distances using the guide and map available at the admission kiosk, as well as trail markers located around the main pathways of the Garden.
The Garden is laid out in three distinct areas:
Indian Hill Mesa Loop Trail: 0.5 mile around
(Or 0.7 mile total roundtrip distance from admission kiosk)
This loop trail highlights Indian Hill Mesa a large flat-topped hill of dense clay soils, heavily planted with mature cultivars and wild species of native plants. Traveling counter-clockwise along the trail you'll pass the California Cultivar Garden, north mesa restrooms, Walter and Gracie Lantz Outdoor Classroom, California Natives Container Garden, Benjamin Pond and the California Garden Gift Shop and RSABG administration building.
East Alluvial Gardens Trail: 0.9 mile total roundtrip
(or 0.45 mile one direction)
This 'out and back' trail travels north from the admission kiosk along the East Alluvial Gardens found at the base of the eastern edge of the Indian Hill Mesa and includes the Desert Garden and the Coastal Dune and California Channel Islands collections. The trail passes the Tongva Village interpretive site and the Majestic Oak before terminating at the Plant Communities Loop Trail.
Plant Communities Loop Trail: 1.0 mile around
(Or 1.7 miles total roundtrip distance from the admission kiosk via the Indian Hill Mesa Loop Trail) (Or 1.9 miles total roundtrip distance from the admission kiosk via the East Alluvial Gardens Trail)
This loop trail is accessible from either the Indian Hill Mesa Loop Trail or the East Alluvial Gardens Trail. The northern 55 acres of the Garden are home to the Plant Communities with displays of some of our most impressive specimens in the entire collection. The large serene grove of Four-needle Pinyon, the spring-blooming California Flannel Bushes and distinctive jmlhua trees are found here.
John Svenson: For the Love of Wood
November 8, 2014-February 22, 2015
Presented by Claremont Museum of Art
Gallery open to the public daily, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Included with standard admission or membership. Claremont Museum of Art Members receive free Garden admission with proof of membership during the exhibit.
Over a lifetime of creating sculpture in many media, John Svenson's work in wood stands out and expresses his love for this living material. The exhibition John Svenson: For the Love of Wood begins with a one-day display at the Padua Hills Art Fiesta on November 2, then moves to Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, opening November 8. John Edward Svenson's love of nature and mastery of his materials is evident throughout his large body of work, which ranges from small wood carvings to monumental public commissions. A native of the Pomona Valley, he studied art at Claremont Graduate School and worked for many years with sculptor Albert Stewart and artist/designer Millard Sheets. During his prolific career, Svenson produced over 23 sculptures for Home Savings and Loan banks and numerous public works in California and Alaska.
Exhibition Opening Reception
Friday, November 14, 5-7 p.m. at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden
Artist John Svenson will be honored at the opening reception of the exhibition John Svenson: For the Love of Wood. Admission to RSABG will be free for this event. Public are welcome to attend.
About the Artist
Over a lifetime of creating sculpture in many sizes and medium, John Edward Svenson has had a love affair with wood. "There is a direct connection to the material, one can observe the grain and understand the life of the tree. If I am lucky, I can express this life and create something of beauty" says Svenson. Understanding natural form through flora and fauna is at the core of his creations. John began working in wood as a child and never stopped. Unlike materials such as bronze, which require multiple processes, working in wood is time consuming but immediate. The act of carving wood is therapeutic and personal. John Svenson was born in Los Angeles in 1923 and grew up on a citrus grove in the Pomona Valley. After WWII, the GI Bill allowed him to attend Claremont Graduate School to study art at Scripps and Pomona College. For many years he worked with sculptor Albert Stewart and artist/designer Millard Sheets. During his prolific career, Svenson produced over 23 sculptures for Home Savings and Loan banks and many public works in California and Alaska. His sculpture and medallic work are held in numerous public and private collections in national and international locations. Teacher Albert Stewart and mentor Paul Manship nominated Svenson to the National Sculpture Society in 1966 and he advanced to "Fellow" in 1971.

2. Think — Massive display. If you don't have enough space to build a large display for a contest, take a hard look around the store. A large display doesn't necessarily have to remain in the confines of your department. Many times a produce manager can take over the usual chip or pop display area if he can sell the store manager on the benefits of the contest. Many a creative manager has built whole-truckload displays, lining up pallets of melons or bins of product up against the store's exterior walls. Other times, a contest can be a practical merchandising maneuver — combining the contest with a push for a holiday or ad period. Keep in mind that to impress a judge, the display should convey abundance, with at least enough merchandise to qualify, and have the dimensions of height, width and depth to stand out.
3. Read (and follow) the display contest rules. The first thing a panel of judges will do when sorting through piles of entries is to eliminate those with obvious flaws. So take the extra time to clear this initial hurdle. Some produce contests require a minimum amount of cases in the display. Others shippers require that only their product is used (and you certainly do not want to have any competing labels in the display photo). Many times the contest rules require a secondary tie-in item or two, or ask that entries include all paperwork (you might be surprised how many entries (nice displays, too) get rejected because the judges only received a blank entry form or no return address from the sender). Worse is getting rejected because the display information was sent in beyond the deadline. Before you build your display, take steps to ensure you are prepared to follow the rules. Take no chances. This may require that you order supplies or tie-in merchandise well ahead of time.
4. Keep it functional. Don't lose sight of your creative display-building ideas. But keep in mind that judges will notice if your display is shoppable — or not. Can the display be shopped from several angles? What's true for everyday display function also works well for a display contest. Your display should be inviting to the point that customers find it easy to shop, which includes details such as available bags, great signage and even a nearby scale, if needed. Plan to bring plenty of product a day or two before your build your display so that is it absolutely fresh. Schedule enough labor for the job, and consider building the display in the early morning or even during an overnight shift to devote complete attention for the project.

I recently received a 1984 Honda GX140 for free. I was curious if i could use Castrol Syntec 5w50 in this engine. I know the recommended oil for my temperatures is 10w40, but i have enough 5w50 for this engine left over and i don't want it to go to waste. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The syntec won't hurt the engine it acutally has a wider viscosity range then you currently use . I usually stay with one brand unless there is an improvement worth changing brands for . 10w-40 is the normal weight for this engine specification. |

Developer Homepage: http://www.2kczech.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.mafia2game.com/
Buy It Here
Mafia II is a third-person action-adventure video game, the sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It is developed by 2K Czech, previously known as Illusion Softworks, and is published by 2K Games. The game is set from 1943 to 1951 in Empire Bay (the name is a reference to New York's state nickname "The Empire State"), a fictional city based on San Francisco and New York City, with influences from Chicago and Detroit. The game features a completely open-ended game map of 10 square miles. No restrictions are included from the start of the game. There are around 50 vehicles in the game, as well as licensed music from the era.
Mafia II is very intensive and you can see at the highest resolution all setups perform under 60 FPS. The reference GTX 480 and HD 5870 both score a solid 55 FPS. The overclock on the Galaxy Super OC GTX 480 helps lift FPS to an impressive 59 which with just a minor detail drop would get us over 60 FPS, which is fantastic.

I have several medical collections on my credit report and I was confused to why they were there. It turns out they are my moms from her medical treatments. They said I must have signed something saying I was responsible for her debt, which I dont remember ever doing. Can I get out of this? They are looking for the paper that I signed and if they cant find it do they need to remove the collections from my reports? She is supposed to call back here shortly!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I have a lovely angel wing begonia that I got from cuttings several years ago. I put the pot on my deck and it blooms all summer, but when I bring it inside (now), it dies back. The first time it happened, I though it was a goner, but behold! In the spring the pot started showing green shoots! Imagine my surprise. It does this every year. Now I have several that have been seeded from the original, and they ALL do it! I have great winter light, orchids, bromeliads, African violets bloom constantly, but this begonia just dies back to the ground. Advice, please, should it do this? Thanks, Florrie |

A picture would help ID it so we could give better feedback. From the sound of your description, it sounds like the hardy begonia (B. grandis). If this is the case, then it will always go dormant, returning in the spring from bulbils and possibly seed. A true cane begonia (sometimes called an angel wing begonia) will never go completely dormant or die to the ground. It may drop all its leaves but with the right amount of light and water it should leaf out easily and perhaps bloom indoors. |
Gosh! I thought it was angel wing - that's what the grower said it was. I'd like to send a picture, but there's nothing to photograph now [grin]. I did have some hardy begonias that seeded themselves into my yard, but the deer would get at them. Maybe they've replaced the "angelwing" Thanks for your help! Florrie |

East Ridge 8" Brown
The answer to a lightweight, cross-functional hunting boot that's crafted in our Portland, Oregon factory, our East Ridge is waterproof, durable and ready to take on a variety of rugged terrain. Significantly lighter than its US made predecessors, the East Ridge features a rich, oiled nubuck leather upper and the lightweight, non-loading Vibram® Hunter outsole.
Boot Details
- 100% waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® liner is engineered to keep your feet dry and comfortable - even in extreme conditions
- Durable full-grain leather upper plus breathable 900 Denier nylon for excellent durability and abrasion resistance
- Stitchdown construction provides a wider platform for increased stability underfoot
- Cushioning polyurethane footbed
- Secure, fast, flexible lacing system provides enhanced fit
- Lightweight, non-loading Vibram® Hunter outsole features a unique tread pattern for superior traction

Tips for the Perfect Fit
- Measure both feet. If one foot is slightly larger than the other, select a size that fits the larger of the two.
- Consider the type of socks you'll be wearing with your boot. For thicker socks, you may want to select a half size larger than you normally wear.
- When you do receive your boots, we recommend first wearing them indoors for a few hours to ensure they're the right fit.

Hard to beat for the price. All of the qualities of American-made Danners at an exceptional price. I've beat mine up on high-country trails, muddy bottoms and rocky outcroppings. Comfortable out of the box, lighter than expected, better water-resistance than expected. These boots will get you there and back, and you can redraft them when you wear out the soles.

Totally worth the money , I have owned/worn more expensive boots in the past that havn't been as comfortable as these boots . They offer great traction in the woods , at the range , and at the mall . This light weight boot is way ahead of others in comfort and durability , and if I ever do wear them out " they are rebuildable " which dollar for dollar makes them even more cost effective . Great job Danner !!

FCC Collision Centers is a family-owned and operated auto body repair shop that's been fixing Santa Clara County vehicles since 1979. The company has two locations in Mountain View and Milpitas, and its owners—Adam Piper and his sons, Matt and Jason—are intent on treating their customers like family. "Between the three of us, we have close to 80 years of experience in the auto body repair business," says Adam Piper.
FCC Collision Centers' technicians are all I-Car Gold trained and certified, which ensures they're skilled and up-to-date with the latest technologies and repair procedures. The company's two shops are also equipped with state-of-the-art laser frame measuring; electronic wheel alignment and paint matching systems to ensure cars leave in the same condition they were in when they rolled off the factory floor.
For customers who find themselves without a vehicle during the repair process, FCC Collision Centers can provide rental cars from Enterprise for as little as $20 per day (with a discount plan). The company also contracts work to a company that repairs small dents and dings that don't require repainting, which saves customers money, says Mr. Piper.
The Pipers consider quality control a crucial aspect of their business. They contract with VeriFacts, an independent quality auditing agency that conducts unannounced inspections of auto body shops to ensure work is being done to manufacturers' specifications. "We do our utmost to make our customers' vehicles safe and more aesthetically pleasing than before their accidents," says Mr. Piper. "Almost none of our competitors have an outside service come in, continually inspect their work and give their technicians' spot reviews."
FCC Collision Centers takes a Green approach to auto body repair. "We recycle everything," says Mr. Piper, "from tires to sheet metal to excess paint." The company uses waterborne paint, which has a higher degree of material transfer onto cars, meaning less paint goes into the atmosphere. "With traditional paints, anywhere from 40 to 60 percent of the paint ends up in the air. With waterborne paints, about 90 percent is applied to the car."

History comes to life in the pages of newspapers. The December 26, 1781, issue of the Pennsylvania Journal and the Weekly Advertiser, a recent gift to the Library by Prof. Ronald Rubin, is a prime example. An advertisement placed by Haym Salomon, the well-known Jewish Revolutionary War patriot, promotes Salomon's financial services and identifies his place of business. Notices of lost cows, real estate, help wanted, and horses for sale, share space on the front page with ads for buying and selling slaves. The matter-of-fact tone of the ads for traffic in human beings, remind the contemporary reader that slavery was still legal in the North in the early part of the 1800s.

Hi - I have questions about these 2 vines, I wonder if anybody can help me?
1. Climbing aster - is it really hardy in zone 6? And does it bloom successfully in a zone 6 October/November? 2. Are trumpet vines too thuggish for growing on a fence with other climbers, such as roses and clematis? Thanks for any advice! Sincerely, Frances |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have no idea about aster but I wouldn't plant a Campsis radicans (Trumpet vine). It's definitely a thug and not only will it choke out your other vines it will spread all over the place. To top it off it's next to impossible to get rid of. You might want to try a Bignonia capreolata (Crossvine). It's similar but not nearly the invasive monster that C. radicans is. |

PokerUpdate.com stumbled upon an absolute gem on Youtube today. It was an incredulous video uploaded by 'BigThink' to on April 23rd 2012, showing poker industry outlaw Howard Lederer talking about business ethics, poker ethics, money borrowing ethics and honesty. Miraculously it went unnoticed for days with just 3 views.
One can only assume that 'BigThink', being a worldwide media sharing company, have had this video in their database and forgotten to share it until now. It seems as if they have done so unwittingly as the description provides no sign of knowledge on 'The professor's' current status as a villain in the poker community. One can only assume that it was shot well prior to the events of Black Friday when Full Tilt poker was in its prime.
"Honesty is the best hustle"
Lines such as "You can't borrow a bunch of money and then say sorry, I don't have any money....you can do that in business but not in poker" and "The best advice I ever got was that 'Honesty is the best hustle' " will do nothing to ease the anger and frustration felt towards a man who has played his part in causing the community so much anguish and financial suffering since the events of black friday.

Marvin Booker jail death: Judge asked to stop city from blocking FBI access to evidence
Last month, the family of Marvin Booker, who died in custody at a Denver jail in 2010, expressed frustration over delays in a lawsuit they filed against the city the following year. Weeks later, a trial date still hasn't been set, but court action is taking place: The family's attorney, Darold Kilmer, has filed a motion asking a judge to authorize the release of information to the FBI, which is conducting a separate investigation into the matter.Marvin Booker.
On July 9, 2010, as we've reported, Booker was arrested and transported to the Van-Cise Simonet Detention Center after failing to appear at a hearing in regard to a possession-of-drug-paraphernalia charge. He spent several hours in a processing area, and at some point, he took off his shoes.
When Booker's name was finally called, the lawsuit maintains, he started toward the booking desk before going back to retrieve his shoes. A deputy then "pursued Mr. Booker and grabbed his arm in an attempt to restrain him," the suit continues. "In what may fairly be described as a massive overreaction, four other deputies then rushed in, violently restraining each of Mr. Booker's limbs and wrestling him" to the floor. In the process, Booker was placed in a "sleeper hold" amid an altercation that also included the use of nunchucks, handcuffs and a Taser. Afterward, the suit contends, Booker's "limp, lifeless" body was placed in a holding cell. Only later did personnel realize he wasn't breathing and call for help.Photo by Melanie Asmar Marvin Booker's family at a news conference on Martin Luther King Day.
The city's version of events is far different. The use of force was necessary due to Booker's belligerent response, officials argue. Moreover, he suffered from an enlarged heart and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, among other ailments, and had cocaine in his system at the time of his death -- meaning that he "possessed most, if not all, of the classic symptoms for somebody at risk of sudden cardiac death," the defense team has written.
Nonetheless, notes attorney Kilmer via e-mail, "federal Judge Brooke Jackson denied Denver's motion to throw the case out of court" this past December "and ruled that it may proceed to a jury trail." However, he goes on, "Denver has appealed that order. So now we're in the appellate court as a temporary detour on our way to the jury trial."
In the meantime, Kilmer writes, "the FBI has contacted us seeking our assistance in their federal investigation into Mr. Booker's death. They have asked that we provide to them documents and transcripts of testimony by the guards that were involved in the killing."
Kilmer and the family would love to help -- but as he points out, "there is a 'protective order' that governs many of the documents and other evidence in the case." On top of that, "Denver has designated a significant amount of evidence as 'confidential' under the protective order, which means we cannot release the evidence unless either (1) Denver consents; or (2) the court authorizes it."

BELLEVILLE, March 9, 2011 (AFP) - French champion Thomas Voeckler ended an eight-year wait for a stage win in the Paris-Nice race here on Wednesday when he won the fourth stage.
The 31-year-old crossed the line ahead of France's Remi Pauriol and Belgian Thomas de Gendt, who regained the leader's yellow jersey off Australian Matthew Goss, after the 191-km ride from Creches-sur-Saone.
"I have competed in the Paris-Nice since 2003, and I had yet to win a stage," said Voekler. "This really is a huge relief."
Australian Heinrich Haussler led the peloton home about a dozen seconds behind.
The first three over the line had, along with Belgian rider Francis De Greef, broken away from the peloton in the sixth kilometre and, by 65 km, had a lead of over five minutes.
That had been trimmed to 1 min 15 sec by the time they got to the summit of the last climb of the day with 35 km to go, but prompted by the admirable De Gendt, they managed to keep the chasing pack at bay. However, De Greef was unable to stay with them and lost touch in the final part of the stage.
De Gendt was interested only in regaining the yellow jersey after Goss took it off him on Tuesday, and he left it to Voeckler and Pauriol to fight out the stage win honors with the more experienced Frenchman taking it for his third win of the season - having won a stage of the Tour of the Mediterranean and the Tour du Haut-Var title.
"We really dictated the stage well," said Voeckler, who in previous years has twice finished second in stages of the race.
Voeckler, who wore the yellow jersey in the 2004 Tour de France, praised De Gendt for his efforts and nicknamed him the "Machine" and added that the young Belgian - who won the opening stage - could pull off a surprise overall win.
"We were the two strongest of our group, I believe, but he was even stronger than I was," smiled Voeckler, who had already noticed De Gendt's potential last year while with a minor team. "He could surprise a lot of people.
"For my part, I was not interested in finishing second or third in the stage. I would rather have finished in the peloton.
"When I attacked at the beginning of the stage, some of the riders said that I was going to run out of gas.
"But my goal wasn't the best climber's jersey. I knew I could last till the end."
Thursday's fifth stage is the interesting and tough 193-km ride from Saint-Symphorien-sur-Coise to Vernoux-en-Vivarais.

Speeches about Winston Churchill
Prophet, Pragmatist, Idealist and Enthusiast
Spinning Top of Memories
His Speeches: How Churchill Did It
The Study of History and the Practice of Politics
Prophet, Pragmatist, Idealist and Enthusiast
The 39th John Findley Green Foundation Lecture
by The Honorable Caspar W. Weinberger
Finest Hour 40, Summer 1983
It is realty a great thrill and rather intimidating assignment to stand on this roster, which as it has been said, is such a famous one. I thought today I would like to talk to you a little about vision and leadership.
When Winston Churchill turned 80 on November 30, 1954, both Houses of Parliament assembled in Westminster Hall to pay him tribute. He replied by returning that tribute to the British people. It was they, he said: "Who had the lion's heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar."
Thank you for calling upon me to give the roar here at Westminster College. It was a great honor to be asked to even try to follow in Winston Churchill's footsteps. And it was a great temptation. But you will all be relieved to hear that I will resist the temptation of trying to talk like Churchill. Out of gratitude, then, you will I hope forgive my not being able to resist the temptation to talk about Churchill.
Oscar Wilde once said about an acquaintance that "his principles were all outdated, but he had some excellent prejudices." I have heard some dismiss Winston Churchill that way. I have heard some suggest that he was a good man to have around in a war, but perhaps somewhat out of date for the second half of the twentieth century.
But I too have my prejudices, and you should be warned, at the outset, that I come here today as someone who has been an unreconstructed and almost unquestioning admirer of Winston Churchill for nearly 50 years. I also come representing a generation that was profoundly affected by Winston Churchill's principles - a generation that, to many of you here, may seem more than a little outdated itself. Let me try to explain to you why I and so many others from my generation remain as strongly affected by Winston Churchill today as I was as a Harvard undergraduate.
When Winston Churchill came to Fulton in 1946 he was 71 years old. He had been through three wars. He had been rejected by the voters at the height of his triumph. He was able, as he said in his memoirs, "To say what (he) liked."And that incidentally is quite rare and a great feeling of relief. I haven't had it yet. And in giving one of his greatest speeches here at Westminster College he revealed not only the challenges that would face us in the second half of this century, but also the character of a great leader: the character of a prophet, a pragmatist, an idealist, and an enthusiast.
Churchill came to Fulton as a prophet. We forget that the "iron curtain" speech was not an unalloyed success - as usual there were those who found fault. In 1946 we had just finished and won the war, and yet, they said, Churchill was back spreading gloom and doom again.
"It is my duty," he told the Westminster College audience, "for I am sure you wish me to state the facts as I see them to you, to place before you certain facts about the present position in Europe." Then he gave his famous sentence: "A shadow has fallen upon the scenes lately so lighted by the allied victory . . . from Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent."
Maybe he thought we really wanted to hear the facts. Or maybe he simply decided we had better hear them. By 1946 Churchill had more than earned the right to tell the world the facts, even if the world wanted only optimistic gloss. He had bought that right with years of futile warnings about the growing military might of Nazi Germany. He had bought it when he stood up in Parliament to denounce the appeasement at Munich, even though he could hardly speak above the storms of abuse from his colleagues. And he paid for it bitterly as he watched his young and valiant fellow countrymen go off to war. By the time he came to Fulton, Winston Churchill knew what it was to be the Cassandra of the western world.
Churchill also came to Fulton as a pragmatist. In the second most famous line of his famous speech he said: "I do not believe that Soviet Russia desires war. What they desire are the fruits of war and the indefinite expansion of their power and doctrines. . . . From what I have seen of our Russian friends and allies during the war, I am convinced that there is nothing they admire so much as strength, and nothing for which they have less respect than weakness, especially military weakness."
Churchill did not propose that we fight the Soviet Union. In fact, he insisted that "I repulse the idea that a new war is inevitable; still more that it is imminent." What he did propose was that we deter a fight with the Soviet Union by demonstrating, through the strength of our armed force and our strength of resolve and purpose, that the Soviet Union had nothing to gain and everything to lose from aggression. Such deterrence, he predicted, would preserve the peace. And the last four decades have proved that he was right.
But Churchill had believed in a strategy of deterrence long before the atomic bomb inaugurated the era where, as Churchill put it when he spoke here, "war can find any nation, wherever it may dwell between dusk and dawn." During the 1930s he had repeatedly warned the people of France and Britain that by failing to rearm they were sending fatal signals of weakness to an adversary that worshipped only strength. He warned the British that they must stop basing their defense plans on the assumption that there would be - could be - no war for ten years. In his memoirs years later he would say that his colleagues had "a genuine love of peace and a pathetic belief that love can be its sole foundation." Throughout his life Churchill knew that a genuine love of peace was not enough to guarantee it.
Churchill came to Fulton as an idealist. "We must never," he urged, "cease to proclaim in fearless tones the great principles of freedom and the rights of man which are the joint inheritance of the English-speaking world."
Churchill was crusty and he was intransigent, but in the end the principles he would not compromise were the principles that kept his country going through its darkest hours. Isaiah Berlin described Churchill's power this way: "So hypnotic was the force of his word, so strong his faith, that by the sheer intensity of his eloquence he bound his spell (upon the British people) until it seemed to them that he was indeed speaking what was in their hearts and minds. Doubtless it was there, but largely dormant until he had awakened it within them."
Winston Churchill awakened an entire generation on both sides of the Atlantic the generation that would fight what Churchill always called "the unnecessary war, 'the generation of which I am a part.
In 1940 John F. Kennedy was still an undergraduate at Harvard, and, incidentally, a fellow toiler with me at the Harvard Crimson, when he wrote his first book: Whv England Slept. In the final pages he wrote of the lessons England held for America: "England has been a testing ground. It has been a case of a democratic form of government, with a capitalistic economy, trying to compete with the new totalitarian system, based on an economy of rigid state control. For a country whose government and economic structure is similar to England's, and which may some day be similarly in competition with a dictatorship, there should be a valuable lesson."
The lesson Kennedy drew was this: "We must always keep our armaments equal to our commitments." Or, as he would say twenty years later in his inaugural address: "Only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed."
The lessons the wartime generation learned from Churchill were these: We had to took danger in the face. We had to prepare to meet it - in fact, we had to accept that preparing for war was the only way to prevent it from happening. And we had to maintain confidence in ourselves, in our values, in our institutions, and in our right to defend freedom.
I know that here at Westminster College you believe Churchill has lessons to teach generations far beyond ours. If you did not, you would not be maintaining your splendid Churchill Memorial Library which I just had the pleasure of seeing. Since Churchill can teach us so much about leadership, and since there are surely future leaders among the students here, I would like to apply some of those lessons to the world we see today.
We continue to face dangers, and dangers greater than ever before. Over the past twenty years we have seen the Soviet Union accumulate enormous military power. And for too many of those years we, like the British in the 1930s, unilaterally restrained our own efforts all through the decades of the 70's in fact, which was the second decade of the Soviet's enormous growth. Today the Soviets out-invest us by nearly 2 to 1 in defense. Even with our defense increases of the past two years, they outproduce us substantially in every category of weapons.
But there are warning signs beyond these. The Soviet military is not just acquiring more and better weapons. They are developing and training what can only be interpreted as an offensive force. And they are extending their military power throughout the world, to the point where they can now threaten our access to vital resources and our air and sea lines of communication, where they can undermine our forward lines of defense in Europe and Korea, to the point where they can support revolutions worldwide and challenge us now even in our own hemisphere.
This need not be cause for alarm - if it is properly viewed as a cause for action. Our policy of deterrence, like Churchill's, is eminently pragmatic. We do not believe that the Soviets will risk aggression if they are convinced that the risks would far outweigh any possible benefits. In upgrading our aging nuclear deterrent forces, in modernizing our conventional forces to keep them up-to-date with the increasingly flexible, mobile, and accurate Soviet forces, we are simply maintaining the calculus of deterrence and ensuring that these terrible equations, which I must confront every day, will produce the answer to our survival and to the survival of peace with freedom for all of us and our posterity. As a defensive power we do not start wars, and we do not develop our military forces to start wars. But we need to ensure, in a changing and dangerous world, that our adversaries never conclude they could best us in a fight of their own choosing.
At the end of World War II Churchill came to Fulton with a proposal for preserving deterrence. He urged the American people to acquire what he called, in the title of his speech, "The Sinews of Peace." More specifically, he urged a political and military alliance between the British Commonwealth and the United States. That specific program was never adopted. But Churchill issued the first call for what eventually became the NATO Alliance, and the strategy he proposed is today our own strategy of deterrence through collective defense.
The peace that began in 1945 between the United States and the U.S.S.R. is with us still. The longer we have that peace the longer we are blessed. And the longer we have that peace the more some question whether it really is deterrence, and collective defense, and the sinews of peace, that keep us from war.
Let us admit we will never know. But let us also affirm that the burden of proof is with those who would argue against maintaining a strong defense. We have tested the theory of appeasement and the theory of deterrence. We have applied the principles of Munich and the principles of Fulton. Maybe we cannot draw conclusions for all times, but we can surely draw conclusions from our times.
I want also to convey the greatest of the lessons we learned from Churchill: the lessons of the idealist.
I have great respect for many in the nuclear freeze movement. I know they are sincerely motivated, and they too want peace, but I greatly differ with their belief that by freezing ourselves into a position of nuclear inferiority we would preserve peace. But I hear one argument that frightens me, because this argument could destroy our ability to deter war as surely as any unilateral disarmament. And that is the argument that in the end the United States and the Soviet Union both pose a threat, and the same kind of threat to the peace and freedom of our world.
We have been reflecting on history today, and I would like to reply to that argument with a very simple historical point.
The United States in 1945 had a nuclear weapons monopoly and a total military superiority. If we wished we could have blackmailed the world. We could have exacted political or economic tribute. Instead we inaugurated a massive aid program to help our former allies and adversaries alike rebuild their nations.
The Soviet Union, in contrast, used the immense power of the occupying Red Army to establish an empire. That empire is still standing and is still expanding today.
Let us never lose the power to question ourselves. But let us also never lose sight of the enduring value of our principles, of the good they have wrought for millions of people all over the world without the slightest thought of any recompense.
There is a final lesson to take from Winston Churchill, a lesson I want to especially address to all of you who are lucky enough to be students here.
You are the future leaders of this nation. And we ask a lot of our leaders in a democracy. You will be called upon to be prophets, but we may not want to listen if you give us bad news. You will be called upon to be pragmatic, but we may resist your advice if it involves sacrifice. You will be called upon to be idealists, but we may not always recognize the ideals in our own hearts.
But it is not enough, in the end, to possess a keen eye, a clear head, and a patriotic heart. You need fire too, if you are to persevere in the face of opposition, of ridicule or worse.
Teddy Roosevelt once said that it is far better "to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
A contemporary described the young Winston Churchill in a strikingly similar way. Churchill, he said, "Does not 'Hum and Ha.' He is not paralysed by the fear of consequences, nor afraid to contemplate great changes. He is out for adventure. He follows politics as he would follow the hounds."
You do not have to agree with all the politics Winston Churchill chased in his long career to admire deeply his enormous zest for the task. Even as an old man Winston Churchill brought enthusiasm and youthful joy to the fierce challenges he faced, and to the exercise of the power he needed to meet those challenges. He took great pride in his vast achievements. He savored his many triumphs. And his enthusiasm and excitement sustained him through the dark days of defeat that preceded and sometimes followed these triumphs.
And even with all of these there were some other qualities of greatness which he possessed in the fullest measure. These qualities help explain the profound influence he exerted over his own age and over future generations. He had vision in the fullest sense of the term . -. .the ability to see things in a cosmic fashion in much the same way that our first men in space suddenly realized the oneness and the wholeness of our globe as their spaceship proceeded farther and farther into space until the earth itself seemed to be another spaceship.
Churchill had the rare capacity to arouse the imagination of people everywhere. It is perhaps the reason that he was such a remarkable painter. Even though he came to his artistic expressions comparatively late in his life, this ability to arouse imagination and to inspire is possessed by few of our politicians or statesmen, just as few of them have the ability to paint or to consider the whole picture. This role seems to have been largely turned over to, or even abandoned to writers and historians. the best of our musicians and artists, and to a few . . . a very few journalists.
We have left to (these people) the roles of gathering together all the threads of these myriads of individual activity, which taken and viewed together, make up the large mosaic. We have left to them the task of articulating the hopes and dreams of mankind. In one way we can say that the best of these artists, musicians, and writers have become the politicians . . . indeed the only politicians who can arouse the imagination and paint the visions which inspire mankind.
These are quite different times from the years in which Churchill held sway. One of the things that strikes me most about today is the enormous explosion and wealth of information that exists, and the vast amount of details about the threads of each of them. We really know too much about many small things. Indeed we seem to some extent paralyzed by the enormous volume of material and details available to us. Perhaps, in a sense, we are actually intimidated by it. At best, we are far too close to it to be able to stand off and see how all the threads can be nipped together and what will happen to us when they are.
We are in danger of becoming a nation of aesthetic system analysts without the glowing fire and the vision, and the ability to inspire that Churchill possessed in such full measure. Another unwelcome change is (on us). With all this enormous volume of information and concentration on minute and highly compartmentalized small pieces, we don't have nearly enough people to learn or have time to love literature. Their lives, unfortunately, are taken up with reading articles, analyses, reports, and other matters connected only with their vocations. If they know (literature well, they can learn and appreciate the lessons of history and more people who can or will want to write about that history. And the more people who know our literature and language so well can use it to inspire, and not just to analyze.
The greatest of all lessons that we can learn from Churchill - because he did it in such enormous full measures - is that we must do far more than our job, no matter how narrow or broad its compass may be. If we are to inspire to lead, we must know firsthand what has inspired in the past and given visions of hope to mankind like) Churchill often inspired as he led men and women all over the world. He always offered them, as he put it in some of his great speeches in the House of Commons and elsewhere, a view of the bright sunny uplands that were always beckoning to those who had ascended part of the way. He always urged mankind's flagging spirits on to something better.
In the end we cannot choose to be prophets without plans, pragmatists without a moral purpose, idealists without some means of preserving those ideals, or enthusiasts for less than the most noble of causes. It was that combination of all these qualities in Churchill that created the great leader. May we all be so blessed as we together work to preserve our great nation, and to serve both peace and freedom in our world.

I finally got energetic. My DD always makes my late MIL's pumpkin cream roll. DH loves it. So I decided today I was going to make one. Cake is out of the oven and rolled in the towel, now cooling in the oven. Filling is next. And maybe some pumpkin cookies.
Tami |
Follow-Up Postings:
The pumpkin roll is now chilling! DH will taste test later. Since I had pumpkin left over, I made these pumpkin cookies. They are supposed to be iced, but I won't. I really don't need the extra sugar, but the cookies would taste better with it. Iced Pumpkin Cookies posted by NoDakgal |
Here is a pic of the cookies. I got 44 out of the batch. For the pumpkin roll, I will dust with powdered sugar later. |
My son has requested a pumpkin roll for Thanksgiving this year. I love them too, but hadn't made one in years til last Thanksgiving. Looks like it may become an every year requirement now. I have a recipe for Pumpkin cookies I was going to try, but may try yours instead. I don't know that I've ever had pumpkin cookies before, but they sure sound yummy. |
Ngraham, the cookies are very good, but really do need the icing on them. DH approved the pumpkin roll! It must be close enough to his mothers LOL! I'll be taking DD and a DN some later. It was much easier than I expected it to be. |
Tami, hooray for your first pumpkin roll. It is surprisingly easy, isn't it? I'm always sure it's going to crack or stick or something, but it never does. Yum, both those things look delicious. Annie |
Tami, I'm so glad your pumpkin roll turned out so good. I tried to make one many years ago. The cakey part wound up cracking and coming apart and I gave up. Maybe one of these years I'll try again. |
Thanks for the feedback on the cookies, Tami! I'm glad your pumpkin roll turned out. It really is so easy, isn't it? I've never had one fail either, & really looks fancy. |

We used to make a pumpkin roll.... ...by kicking it down the hill! Sorry, I couldn't resist... |
LOL Annie! I rolled my share around the yard, and maybe over the hill when it was time to get rid of it, so new ones might grow the next year. But I didn't kick it over, cause the fence was in the way. |

Many of you fans have been writing to us asking why Jack wore ballet slippers to work out in…
In those days tennis shoes were not popular, and only used to play tennis in…Most show business people and Hand Balancers wore ballet slippers, and Jack being a Hand Balancer, that was what he wore!
Why did Jack wear ballet slippers???
10 Responses to "Why did Jack wear ballet slippers???"
I was born and raised in San Francisco and in the 50′s in our pre school days we use to watch you and try all the exercises. By age 37 I started taking adult ballet classes. I love wearing ballet slippers because I always feel like stretching and dancing around the house. And now in my mid 50′s I started taking flamenco classes so I also love wearing flamenco shoes. Now for many years we have moved to Manitoba where many days in the winter it is freezing windy to go outside … so I enjoy exercising with your old clips in ballet slippers too!
You are a great inspiration. Take care Jack. Best wishes
The strongmen of the 19th century wore scottish brogues so I think ballet shoes are appropriate
my father is roy kehrer and him and jack made helth equipment together it was called mars gym equipment i was a little boy then when dad had his gym in modesto calif on paridice ave and i got to know bill pearl and timithy leong and chuk sypes and many more body builders, my dad is still alive and living in modesto to this day.does anybody rember my dad
has anybody tol my father roy kehrer about jacks death they were business partners when jack and started out together.
[...] As you can see in the video clip above, Jack wore ballet slippers. Why? His blog explains: [...]
Jack's use of ballet slippers was brilliant. It set him apart from macho and offish body builders and appealed to his audience which was woman. Male ballet dancers always presented themselves as poetic, cultured, and chivalrous and that resonated with woman. Men may have thought it to be sissyish but they were not his target audience and none could have competed with his physical prowess. Ballet slippers were very common fitness attire among woman of the day and they were able to appreciate Lalanne better.
I thought it was really cool, and still do that Jack LaLanne wore ballet slippers. It's because of him that I relate this footwear to masculinity. He was not the first masculine male to wear ballet slippers outside of dance but he was the first I saw. This inspiration is will always be with Me amongst others thanks to Jack. Sorry to hear he is no longer with us.
Go to any gymnastics meet. Those gymnasts who are not
barefoot wear modified ballet slippers, not sneakers.
The soles are thin rubber rather than suede. The slippers
are flexible and let you "feel" the floor; sneakers,
although not as heavy as street shoes, still have a
stiff sole. -
Here in my gym class its Not allowed to wear Sneakers
Man must wear Black leather Ballet Slippers and women Pink leather Ballet Slippers
Ballet Slippers are perfect for this Kind of training -
I always wear ballet slippers for my daily indoor workouts. This practice was largely inspired by the amazing Jack LaLanne, whose TV show I frequently watched as a kid. I can attest that Jack knew exactly was he was doing in opting for ballet slippers over other types of exercise footwear. Ballet slippers are extremely lightweight, breathable and pliable, and their soft suede soles provide just the right amount of grip for proper foot control. And due to their superior flexibility, ballet slippers enable a more thorough foot workout than athletic shoes do. On top of all that, the barefoot comfort of ballet slippers simply can't be matched by any other kind of exercise shoe. Mr. LaLanne made many smart decisions througout his long and very successful career, and choosing ballet slippers is a prime example!

text: Cemeteries as tourist attractions? In some cases, yes, and not for morbid fascination either. You'll find unique links to history, unusual resting places for prominent people and, of course, more than a few entertaining ghost stories. In honour of Halloween, here are the five cemeteries I've visited in the past two years that rank as attractions by themselves.

Hillary Fry, AKA Solessence, shows us how to do easy glitter nails that look out of this world. This tutorial uses four different glitters, from near-dust particles to hexagonal holo discs to show how you can vamp up a look with little time added to a service. Fry says, "While it may seem redundant to use microfine and ultrafine glitter, it is about the details. On the nail, the microfine adds a sheer base, almost looking like milkyway gases among stars. Experiment with layers to find your favorite looks." Watch more of Fry's videos at www.youtube.com/solessence.
