Paid per call department. Around 20 active members. We serve a population of around 3000 (city and rural area). We have an automatic mutual aid agreement with the surrounding towns for structure fires. Our extrication district includes some of the smaller neighboring towns that don't have equipment, although they are in the process or have already gotten their own so it will cut down on our extrication calls significantly. We run between 300 and 400 calls a year, mostly medical and grass fires. One station. One paramedic, two EMT-I's, two EMT-B's, and two First Responders. Our equipment is as follows:
One 75' Quint
One rescue pumper
One engine
One med unit (with extra set of extrication equipment)
One 3000 gallon tanker (with another in the works)
Three grass trucks
One grass truck/engine (which is semi-retired)
One 1946 fire truck ride/parade truck
One command Blazer
If I remember correctly, our in town ISO rating is a 3. Out of town is something like an 8 but we are working towards getting that lowered.
Forgot to add this info to my previous post.
City/Rural Dept covering 400+ square miles. City population ~1,400, total protection area population of ~2,900. City has an ISO 6, rural area is a 9 mainly due to the lack of rural water supply and distance from the station. Currently 33 active members, roster has room for 34. We do structure, wildland & rescue. The Ambulance is a seperate entity although we have several firefighters who are also EMT's and volunteer on the ambulance association. We have the following for apparatus:
(4) type 6 wildland engines
(1) type 3 tender
(1) type 2 tender
(1) type 1 engine
(1) type 2 engine
(1) type 7 engine (Polaris Ranger 6x6)

We have a Rural Fire Department funded by the county, Which I am also a member.
The Department station is in the City, the county is divided into 6 different company's.
My company has a Heavy Rescue pumper, which responds to structure fires and injury accidents. We have two additional brush trucks. We run all accidents west to the county line about 5 miles, east 10 miles and north and south about 20 miles. The next company that does rescue is 20 miles East. they have a 3000 gallon tanker that they respond to our stucture fires with.
About 13 of us City Volies are also on the County Department along with 4-5 additional county only vollies.

My VFD is part of a large county combination system (~1000 career and ~400 active volunteers). One station with
-95' tower
-heavy rescue squad
-BLS ambulance
-ALS ambulance
-boat and boat support unit
-utility and some chief's vehicles
Our station is staffed by county career personnel, with volunteers generally supplementing nights and weekends. We don't respond from home or work, but pull standby shifts at the station. our house runs upwards of 7000 calls per year (EMS/rescue/fire). Other stations in the county range from all career to almost-all volunteer.
Oh, yes... 550 sq miles for the county, about a million people. Our first-due area has about 90,000. Suburban ranging to semi-rural, with everything from large townhouse and condo developments to retail and some light industry to farmland.Last edited by sts060; 08-31-2007 at 09:53 AM.

Bridgton, Maine...
Pop. 5000+, but in summer there is a 4-5 fold increase due to the lakes and mountains drawing tourists and summer people. 68+ square miles. A village center with a growing commercial outlying sprawl unfortunately. The majority of the town is rural, in the foothills of the White Mountains. A major East-West traffic corridor passes through town. We have 4 stations w/ 5 engines, 1 tanker, 1 ladder (soon to be replaced with a new platform quint), 1 forestry, 1 hose reel truck, a regional response HazMat truck, an airboat for lake rescues/fires, and a dive team. 350+ calls a year and rising, none are medical except the occasional EMS assist for lifting or codes. 70-something members on the roster...the usual 30 consistant participants. 1 part-time chief who is also a lieutenant in Portland, the state's largest city. Members are paid hourly by the call (bell-to-bell) and for trainings and meetings. Response times are generally very good for an on-call dept. We are automatically dispatched to all calls in one neighboring town as their department is very small (one engine and 10 memers), and automatic mutual aid for structure fires and MVCs with entrapment for several others.
EMS is provided by United Ambulance Service which also covers several surrounding towns and also provides ALS intercept and/or mutual aid service to several others, UAS is owned by Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, the state's 2nd largest city. The community hospital here is affiliated w/ CMMC. I'm a full-time paramedic with United and a call firefighter with the FD.Last edited by mtngael; 01-04-2008 at 06:36 PM.

1970s rock fans everywhere had an excuse to play one of their favorite Elton John songs on repeat today. John and partner David Furnish announced they were welcoming home their new son, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, who was born on Christmas Day. On Twitter, many congratulations and references to other famous John lyrics ensued.
The Guardian was excited about its clever headline for the occassion
You can tell everybody, this is our son: Elton John becomes a father at 63 http://gu.com/p/2m4a3/tf
Radio Station Kopr94 marveled at the child's birthday
Sir Elton John has become Daddy Elton John! He is now a proud parent of a baby boy born on Christmas day! How bout that for a xmas present?
Jezebel predicted a fashionable future for baby Furnish-John
Elton John & David Furnish are now parents of a baby boy, who will someday inherit quite the closet. http://bit.ly/foD8TJ
CNN's Piers Morgan is embarrassed he didn't know about this sooner.
Feel such a fool - Sir Elton never even hinted he was pregnant during our interview.
CNN Anchor Hala Gorani obviously didn't get the reference.

Something stinks in Oldham Woods — and everyone knows what it is but nobody knows what to do about it.
Residents of the subdivision, located off Old Sligo Road, rely on a private treatment pond to process wastewater from about 107 homes, which includes some from the Turtle Creek development as well.
And it's "stinkin' yet again," says resident Laura Smith. "This has been a recurring problem for three years now."

Air masses are labeled based on two things; if the air is dry or moist and the temperature of the air. If the air mass is formed over land then it is dry and called Continental. If the air mass is formed over water then it is moist and called Maritime.

Hydroelectric Energy is energy produced by water. The energy is produced by a hydroelectric plant, which has a generator. The generator is located in a powerhouse that is connected to power lines that give energy to houses, buildings, etc. Hydroelectric Plants do not hurt the environment.
According to the video, the United States is the fourth country with the most hydroelectric capacity in 2008. The United States will save $22 billion in oil burning if we change to hydroelectric energy.

My brother said something really weird on Saturday morning. He regretted it afterwards but, he said he wanted to go to school and didn't want to stay home. I thought it was weird because on Friday he was so glad school was over!
I promise I didn't knock him over the head to make him say that but, he said it. My parents were surprised to because they don't like waking up for 10 min. and driving for 5 min. to school and coming back.

Don't get me started on how Astronomy was for me !
Astronomy was a pretty hard topic for me.
My favorite topic in Astronomy was when we learned about the galaxies. I started to have a lot of questions about the universe and how it could be part of something else. I used to think that Earth was the biggest but, I was wrong.
I was stuck on the seasons but, I understood it after some of my friends explained it to me. I wanted to learn more about the stars. It was an interesting topic.
<--- Remember that stars don't really look like this !

Can you believe that 2010 is already over? If you don't believe it, you have to anyway
2010 went by pretty quick for me ! During the holiday break, I didn't really do anything. My cousin from France came over to visit for 6 days and we explored New York with him. I am not much of a New Yorker until this break because I have never went to any part of Manhattan except for Chinatown.
Visit m&m's world, it's awesome !

Look a little like Earth? If there can be a planet out there that can have the looks of Earth, then why can't be there be life out there that looks like us? There is a lot of places in space that we haven't looked and there can be life anywhere. The Goldilocks planet has the perfect distance away from the sun just like Earth. Life could be on that planet.

Hello. My name is Irene. I am in one of the 8th grade Earth Science classes. I love to play handball but, after I moved to Long Island there wasn't much time for me to play. I tried out for sports like volleyball and basketball last year. I love to play the piano, dance, sing, and listen to music. I don't like doing homework but, as a student if you don't do your homework, your grades go down. I love ice cream!

If so, rather than simply working toward success, you may be trying to be perfect, and there exists quite a difference between aiming for a successful life and trying to achieve perfection.
Perfectionist | Healthy striver |
Sets standards beyond reach and reason |
Sets high standards, but just beyond reach |
Is never satisfied by anything less than perfection |
Enjoys process as well as outcome |
Becomes dysfunctionally depressed when experiences failure and disappointment |
Bounces back from failure and disappointment quickly and with energy |
Is preoccupied with fear of failure and disapproval — this can deplete energy levels |
Keeps normal anxiety and fear of failure and disapproval within bounds — uses them to create energy |
Sees mistakes as evidence of unworthiness |
Sees mistakes as opportunities for growth and learning |
Becomes overly defensive when criticized |
Reacts positively to helpful criticism |
Of course we all want to be successful and produce good work in our everyday lives. Setting high expectations can be motivating and quite healthy. However, when taken to the extreme, our productivity can actually decrease. Perfectionists frequently experience many of the symptoms listed below:
If you are a perfectionist, it is likely that you learned early in life that other people valued you because of how much you accomplished or achieved, meaning you may have learned to value yourself only on the basis of other people's approval. Thus your self-esteem may have come to be based primarily on external standards. This can leave you vulnerable and excessively sensitive to the opinions and criticism of others. In attempting to protect yourself from such criticism, you may decide that being perfect is your only defense. Below is a cycle that perfectionists often find themselves experiencing and some other consequences of perfectionism.
The first step in changing from perfectionistic attitudes to healthy striving is to realize that perfectionism is undesirable. Perfection is an illusion that is unattainable. The next step is to challenge the self-defeating thoughts and behaviors that fuel perfectionism. Some of the following strategies may help:
Once you have tried these suggestions, you are likely to realize that perfectionism is not a helpful or necessary influence in your life. There are alternative ways to think that are more beneficial. Not only are you likely to achieve more without your perfectionism, but you will feel better about yourself in the process.

During uncertain economic times, graduate students are faced with increased anxiety about the current job market and economy, as well as the challenges of graduating.
All of us are prone to feel some anxiety in our lives. But when anxiety affects our day to day functioning and enjoyment of life, it becomes an illness. Many people with anxiety disorder do not recognize it. You may have an anxiety disorder if you worry too much on most days for at least six months. Your anxiety may make it hard for you to live life normally. You might find it difficult to get a job, go to classes or make friends.
The symptoms of an anxiety disorder can vary from person to person and can include the following:
Many people with anxiety are embarrassed to tell their clinician about it. An anxiety disorder is commonly diagnosed by your medical or mental health provider by asking you questions about your symptoms. There are several rating scales or questionnaires that are used to diagnose anxiety, such as the one below.
If you scored higher than 5 on this self-assessment, you may want to consider talking to your health care or mental health provider about your symptoms.
It is important to realize that the treatment of anxiety usually takes time. You may not be "cured," but your symptoms will subside and your quality of life will improve with treatment. Treatment options include:
Yes. There are other conditions that have similar symptoms:

Organizing a school astronomy club is a way to improve science literacy, and it's a lot of fun to boot.
Little attention is paid to astronomy in our schools. Most school districts do not require astronomy to be taught in any form through 12th grade. Some bury it within "Earth sciences." Even fewer teach it as a separate course. In addition, the teachers who are called upon to teach astronomy often have no training whatsoever in this field.
As an astronomer interested in education, I frequently give astronomy presentations in schools, at community nights, and at star parties. Not long ago, I was asked by a junior high school science teacher to speak in his classroom about "cosmetology" and the expansion of the solar system! Another time, I was contacted by a teacher who had heard that I was an astrologer. The general public holds many other misunderstandings and myths about the nature of the universe. A few that I have encountered are:
The problem becomes even more intractable when we realize that teachers have little time to develop and serve curriculum modules that are not mandated by state standards or state aptitude tests. And usually, astronomy isn't.
Determined to do something about this, at least in my childrens' school, I started an after-school astronomy club. A club offers a realistic strategy for infusing astronomy into the educational experience of children, their families, and, to some extent, their teachers as well. It can also be a lot of fun and very fulfilling as long as you make adequate preparations and follow a few guidelines.

Ever wonder why Betty bought some "better Butter"? Why did she not just make the "better Butter" at home herself?
Sometimes it is so wonderful to go back to the original way to doing things…making fresh Butter at Home and then giving it the personal touch and making it even better. So next time you see Betty, give her your "better Butter" recipe… It's just Butter but made even better!
Prep Time: 10-15 min
Makes: 1/2 cup butter
Heavy Whipping Cream – 1/2 pint / 1 cup / approx. 250 ml.
For the Flavoring:
Shallots – 1 tbsp , finely chopped
Cilantro – few sprigs, finely chopped
Salt – a pinch
Black Pepper Powder – to taste
Fresh Lime – squeeze, to taste
1. Bring the Cream down to room temperature.
2. Pour the Cream in a tall container.
3. Using a beater, beat the cream till it separates.
4. The solid part is the butter and the liquid is called butter milk.
5. Chill and store the butter in the refrigerator and it is ready to use.
6. If you want to flavor the Butter, right after it separates, place in a flat dish or a plate.
7. Add in Salt and mix well.
8. Add in Shallots, Cilantro and Black Pepper Powder and mix well.
9. Lastly add in a squeeze of fresh Lime Juice, mix and chill.
10. Spread on some warm toast and enjoy
1. 1/2 pint makes 1/2 cup of butter.
2. If you do not have a beater, you can put the Cream in a jar and shake it till it separates (time consuming but great exercise).
3. Another option to making the Butter is to take a spoon or a folk and start mixing it or try churning it.
4. Use different herbs and spices to make different flavored butters

I guess you have spoilt us badly with your 'makhan maaro' cooking skills, . Seriously, i dont try the regular dishes anymore at home but try to learn new stuff from your website. Thanks so much for this lovely experience.
btw, i just need your suggestion regarding use of blender to beat the crap out the cream

September 1st, 2010 at 2:59 pmHi Urvi,
All of the following methods work, leave the cream/malai our for a few hours (overnight is even better):
-the beater (like me mentioned)
-Food Processor
-jar (shake it)Urvi Reply:
September 1st, 2010 at 7:34 pmThanks Anuja for your reply Will give it a try and let you know about the results when I do it
R Says:
August 31st, 2010 at 2:24 amIf we happen to use cream from the milk, how much will we need to get a cup of butter. Also, I have seen my MIL collect milk cream everyday and add butter to it. After a week she used to put it in the blender. Does this sound familiar. I never tried but want to make sure what I think I saw is right before trying!
Rohini Says:
August 31st, 2010 at 8:19 amHi Girls,
This reminds of my Mum…when she used to skim off the malai from top of the milk, keep accumulating it, then curdling it with a dollop of yoghurt and finally churning it in a blender to separate it from buttermilk. OOh! I wonder being a working woman how could she manage all that…!
Can I use a blender for this process too?
Please answer this question as somebody else has put up the same query twice but still waiting to hear it from you.
Secondly, I have got a tub of clotted cream sitting in the fridge…can I use it to make butter? if yes, how?
Pleeease answer both the questions asap…
anuja Reply:
September 1st, 2010 at 3:10 pmHi Rohini,
That cream is perfect, leave it out and allow it to come down to room temperature (overnight if possible) and make it the same way as shown. The other ways of making butter is:
- put it in an air-tight jar and shake it till it separates
- Food Processor
- blender
- whisk
Rohini Reply:
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:37 pmThanx Anuja, I appreciate your spirit of taking care of your viewers. You try to answer even the simplest of their questions. Keep going and may you go a long way with your SMTC.

August 31st, 2010 at 5:16 pmI used to make butter from malai at home before we moved to US. Homemade butter is one of the things I miss the most from back home. Thanks to you both, my son will have it for the first time in his life! Long live showmethecurry!!
Urmila Says:
August 31st, 2010 at 5:36 pmHow to make cream frm milk?i dont think we have whipping cream in Chennai,Tamilnadu…
anuja Reply:
September 1st, 2010 at 3:15 pmHi Urmila,
When you boil milk and then allow it to cool down, the cream on top is collected over a few days and that is the cream you can use to make butter. Alternatively, you can also buy Full Cream from Mother Dairy or from dairies that sell yogurt or paneer etc. The other option is to buy the one that is sold by Amul, think it is called "Amul Cream"….
Hope that helps[Reply]
Lakshmi Says:
August 31st, 2010 at 10:02 pmReally good one. Shall I use Half & Half instead of heavy whipping cream?
anuja Reply:
September 1st, 2010 at 3:32 pmHi Lakshmi,
We, personally, have never tried it but think it will work. It may take longer to make and it'll be a good idea to leave it out for a bit before you start on it. It'll also probably make lesser amount of butter as there is less fat in it.[Reply]
Plato Says:
August 31st, 2010 at 10:15 pmThe churns were really great to use, for it was one ofr the secrets of the well toned arms of the women of that time, as was the grinding stone used at home, the one that worked manually.. In fact malai, if it is a couple of days old, or even cream, if you leave it at room temp with some home made dahi (yogurt), & chill it, will form butter with just a few minutes of good whipping with a wooden spoon.
Plato Says:
August 31st, 2010 at 10:19 pmActually if the cream or malai, if curdled with dahi, will give the best buttermilk (chhaachh) that makes the most delicious & wholesome kadhi, as it is almodst fat free.
Angelica Says:
September 20th, 2010 at 9:15 pmHi,
thanks for being a lovely source of Indian cuisine.
How long does the butter keep for in the fridge? I know in the video you mention about a week, but I'm assuming that's for the flavoured butter.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
hetal Reply:
September 21st, 2010 at 3:11 amHi Angelica,
If you don't add anything to the butter (besides salt), it will stay in the fridge for a couple of months.
Disha Says:
September 29th, 2010 at 1:44 amHi Anuja & Hetal ,
Thank you so much for lovely recipes.
Can you tell me how to make white butter…and what is the difference between white butter and normal butter.??Thanks
Sujatha Says:
October 4th, 2010 at 1:44 amHello Anuja and Hetal,
I tried making butter a couple of times earlier. I accumulate cream from 1% and 2% milk over a period of time, add a bit of yogurt and leave it to curdle for about 10 hours. Then I put it in the blender and whip for a while till a 'white' solid settles in the bottom. It looks like milk strings and settle at the bottom, unlike butter that floats on top.
I also tried heating the white strings. Instead of melting like butter, it solidified further, more like paneer.
Does my trials fail as the 1% or 2% do not contain 'fat' enough to make butter?[Reply]
hetal Reply:
October 4th, 2010 at 2:23 pmHi Sujatha,
Unfortunately, we have not made butter using low fat milk. Maybe one of our other viewers can help here.
Shikha Says:
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:32 amHi,
I try making ghee many times from malai collected and refrigerated. but in winter season when i beat the collected malai it becomes soft like a thick liquid. what do i do? Need i blend it more? how will the thick butter float on top. It used to float in summer season…. please help…[Reply]
hetal Reply:
November 25th, 2010 at 1:03 amHi Shikha,
We're sorry but we don't usually make ghee from collected malai here in the US. We are not certain how or why the temperature affects it. Hopefully some of our other viewers will be able to help.

hetal Reply:
December 12th, 2011 at 5:04 pmHi Poonam,
Yes, it is makhan. In India, people skim off the fat when boiling milk and collect it over a few days. This is churned to make makhan.

However, none of the women who participated in the 2009 American Express Queenstown Winter Festival Lindauer Fitness and Fashion Challenge has looked back.
And now, 12 more women have the chance to change their lives.
Festival director Simon Green said applications were now open for the 2010 event, which begins on April 6.
Open to women of all shapes, sizes and ages, the event seeks 12 applicants to take part in a 12-week fitness training, nutrition and choreography programme, culminating in the Lindauer Ladies' Fashion Afternoon on June 28.
Over 12 weeks, participants will be professionally coached towards a common goal of walking the catwalk with style and confidence, in front of a large audience.
The Lindauer Ladies will be trained by the Funktional Fitness team at Alpine Health & Fitness Centre, Frankton, and local fashion house Decode will outfit them for the catwalk show.
Lindauer has sponsored the event providing a 50% subsidy for successful applicants who will pay $575 (Alpine Health & Fitness members) or $750 (non-members).
Mr Green said he was delighted to see the event back on the festival calendar.
"The Challenge was a life-changing experience for the women who took part last year and we're thrilled to offer that chance again this year."
Mr Green said he would encourage anyone to become involved, regardless of their age or fitness ability.
However, the challenge was not for the faint-hearted, he said.
Training included 24 one-on-one sessions, four group sessions, three weigh and measure consultations, nutrition advice with food diaries and healthy recipes, weekly exercise plans, photographs, interviews, choreography tips and "possibly a TV appearance".
Anyone wanting to apply was asked to state in about 100 words why they should be chosen to participate.
Applications are due by noon on March 25 and can be emailed to email@example.com; posted to American Express Queenstown Winter Festival, PO Box 1975, Queenstown; or delivered to Level 1, Chester Suites, corner Camp and Shotover Sts.
The successful applicants will be chosen by Funktional Fitness, Alpine Health & Fitness, Decode and the Winter Festival and notified.
For the 12 women chosen to participate in the 2009 Lindauer Fitness and Fashion Challenge, the experience was a life-changing one.
Keep an eye on the Queenstown Times over the coming days as we talk to some of those women and see what a difference 12 months can make.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

* Seeks input from Texas energy executives
* Raises more than $6 million
* Romney tweaks Obama over campaign cash advantage
By Steve Holland
MIDLAND, Texas, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Republican U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney tapped oil executives for nearly $7 million on Tuesday and told them he will lay out a comprehensive energy proposal this week aimed at increasing U.S. energy production and creating jobs.
On a day of fund-raising in Texas, Romney got whoops of approval from contributors in the West Texas oil town of Midland when he vowed to take advantage of "oil, gas, nuclear and renewables" if elected president on Nov. 6.
Midland is where former President George W. Bush grew up, and Romney's motorcade passed a road sign pointing toward the "George W. Bush Childhood Home." Romney went to the Petroleum Club to address his contributors and was introduced by former Bush Commerce Secretary Don Evans.
If Romney is inaugurated president next January, said Evans, other nations will look at the United States and say, "We can once again trust America."
Romney's energy speech will seek to return his presidential campaign to the more familiar ground of how to boost the sluggish U.S. economy after the race was dominated for more than a week by a Medicare proposal from his vice presidential running mate, congressman Paul Ryan.
The former Massachusetts governor praised Ryan and could not resist a jibe at Vice President Joe Biden, who last week drew the ire of Romney by telling a crowd in former slave state Virginia that the Republican would loosen bank regulations and "put y'all back in chains."
On a day that an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll said Ryan gave no significant overall bump to the Republican ticket, Romney said of his running mate: "I can't wait to watch him debate Joe Biden. Joe Biden has been the gift that keeps on giving."
Biden and Ryan will face off in a lone vice presidential debate in October.
Romney raised more than $3 million at events in Houston and Midland for a total of close to $7 million for the day.
He unveiled his plans for an energy speech at a Houston hotel to a crowd that included energy executives such as Harold Hamm, a billionaire Oklahoma oil baron, and Exxon-Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson. He told them he wanted to seek their advice on his energy proposals that he will lay out in New Mexico on Thursday.
"Your input is something I wanted to retain before we actually cross the Ts and dot the Is on those policies," he said.
Romney has made increasing energy production a key part of his plan to rebuild the U.S. economy and has been sharply critical of what he calls Obama's over-reliance on renewable energy like wind and solar.
Romney has said he would ease regulations to allow more offshore oil drilling and increased production of natural gas, and he would support coal mining as well, with the goal of making the United States less dependent on foreign sources of energy.
He said he would also allow construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Texas that has been delayed by the Obama administration.
"We will be, I believe before the end of this week, in New Mexico describing a comprehensive energy plan, particularly as it relates to fossil-based fuels," Romney said.
In Midland, Romney adapted his stump speech to take account of the Bush family, praising former first lady Barbara Bush, wife of former President George H.W. Bush and mother of George W. Bush and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
"Is there any mom who's had more impact than that woman? On her husband? On her sons? I mean she -- just the energy and the commitment and the conviction and the strength of character she has," he said.
Romney has struggled to attract the support of more women voters, and on Tuesday called on U.S. Representative Todd Akin to resign his nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in Missouri for making controversial remarks about rape.
Akin, however, vowed to stay in the contest against Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, indicating he represents a conservative movement that must be heard.

The "Statistics::Contingency" class helps you calculate several useful statistical measures based on 2x2 "contingency tables". I use these measures to help judge the results of automatic text categorization experiments, but they are useful in other situations as well. The general usage flow is to tally a whole bunch of results in the "Statistics::Contingency" object, then query that object to obtain the measures you are interested in. When all results have been collected, you can get a report on accuracy, precision, recall, F1, and so on, with both macro-averaging and micro-averaging over categories.

Latest revision as of 22:38, December 21, 2007

Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
Non-sporting group.
Less than 10 pounds for the toy variety, 10 to 18 pounds for the miniature variety, and 20 to 35 pounds for the standard variety.
9 to 12 inches for the toy variety, 12 to 15 inches for the miniature variety, and 15 to 19 inches for the standard variety.

Thick, double coat with a ruff around the neck.
American Eskimo dogs are intelligent, affectionate, and playful. They are loyal, alert, and often eager to please.
Country of Origin:
Originating in Germany, American Eskimo dogs are part of the wide and ancient family of Spitz dogs. These animals were likely brought to the USA by German immigrants and were renamed American Eskimo dogs in 1917.
Previously known as Spitzes, these dogs were renamed American Eskimo dogs in 1917, possibly due to the unpopularity of anything with a German association during the first world war.
These dogs are intelligent, friendly, and alert. While somewhat conservative, they tend to be neither shy nor aggressive. They bark at the approach of strangers and make great watchdogs.
American Eskimo dogs are intelligent and eager to please. They can learn new tasks and commands quickly.
This breed has a mid-range activity level. They are playful and energetic, yet somewhat conservative.
American Eskimo dogs make great companions for adults and children. They are friendly, loving, and loyal animals. These dogs tend to be wary of strangers and will bark at their approach. American Eskimo dogs tend to take longer to mature than other breeds, acting like puppies for approximately two years.
No breeders listed at this time.

"Add An Acre, Sell An Acre" Proposal Aimed At Keeping Federal Estate From Growing Introduced To Congress
In an effort to keep the federal landscape from growing appreciably, a Republican from Virginia has introduced to Congress a measure that would, in many cases, require land-management agencies to offset every acre added to their oversight by selling an acre.
Reader Participation Day: How Would You Build A "Top 10" National Parks List?
Recently, a website that will go unmentioned put together a list of "the nation's worst national parks." While that list was soundly, and justifiably, ridiculed and dismissed, it brings to mind this question: What are the nation's best national parks? If you were to compile a Top 10 list of national parks, which would you include on it?
Books We Read In 2014, And Which You Might Like
Despite all the electronic gadetry that allows you to consume media, hard-bound and paperback books continue to hold a considerable marketshare.
