5.0 out of 5 stars Recaptures that Raiders magic,
It may just be coincidence but this time Harrison Ford that was a carpenter is not Dr. Indiana Jones (Junior) and his last crusade (until the next film) is to obtain a cup of a carpenter.
Even though this film can stand on its own, it can be more fully understood if you watch "Raiders of the lost Ark" first.
Once again we start out with a young Jones...

I was mightily surprised to see the overwhelmingly positive reviews for this film. Sure, it's wall-to wall high-octane action, but there is a distinct sense that we've seen it all before, and you know what? It was in the first film of the series.
I know, I know - Indiana Jones is a paean to the matinee action-adventure films of Spielberg's youth, and it isn't meant to be clever (just as well, because it sure ain't) but any sense of pacing, storyline or (god forbid) acting is ditched in favour of big set pieces and pedal-to-metal ACTION.
Indy engages - across several continents - in down-to-the-wire fights on trains, planes, airships, motorbikes, speedboats, tanks and horses, shags the obligatory blonde vixen (who - quelle surprise - turns out not to have his best interests at heart), defeats the Nazis (again) and patches up things with his estranged Dad and never once do you get the feeling that anyone was in this for anything other than the money.
It's like about four bad Bond films rolled into one - even to the point of featuring Sean Connery! Indeed, I doubt it was far from the director's mind that Indiana Jones might supplant the long standing (but, by 1990, very tired) 007 franchise as the bankable high thrills, no brains, lotsa-formula blockbuster for the 1990s.
Fortunately, Harrison Ford had better things to do.
5.0 out of 5 stars Indiana Jones 3-the finest action film ever made bar none,
G Gilbert (London, England) - See all my reviews
The title really means it. This is in my opinion the greatest action/adventure film ever made. Every film genre- be it action, comedy, horror,etc, has a film within it which stands out as the greatest of its kind. For me, in action films its without a doubt indiana jones and the last crusade. Personally, action/adventure films are my favourite kind of film, and this makes TLC a definite contender for my favourite film ever made.
Compared to its two siblings, The Temple of Doom and Raiders of the Lost Ark, this is the best of the three, only slightly better than raiders but much superior to The Temple of Doom.
The reasons why i think this is such a great film are numerous- for a start, it has probably the best action sequences ever. It opens with a great bang, as we see a young Indy trying to outsmart a gang of thugs on a train, the train being filled with snakes, lions, tigers and the like, and this is a great sequence and gives us more background on the young Indy, something that the first two films more or less failed to do. The film has many great action pieces right form start to finish. Every action set-piece in the film is smart, lively, fun and quite splendid.
The choice of enemy is great too- instead of the primitives seen in Temple of Doom, we go back to raiders, and the enemy is that most odious of foes, the cunning and evil Nazis. These bring the correct malice to the film so it never becomes too tongue-in-cheek to be innefective.
The cast is great too- everyone seems to be very adept at playing their roles, and as for the lead himself, no-one better could be picked for the job. He's tough, clever but not too nasty, and unlike alot of action stars, pulls off the romance and drama quite nicely. You never feel between the action that the film is wearing itself out. Sean connery is great as Indy senior- he just brings so much class to the film.
The plot is that of your typical saturday morning serial- the great action hero trying to save the world from an evil foe. It's basic, but romance works like a charm in this movie and the plot never feels convuleted- it always flows along with the storyline. The one liners in this film are pretty deft too- such as when in the tank, and the man quotes 'the pen is mightier than the sword' after knocking out an evil nazi with standard blue ink.
Plot, cast and action are great about the movie, but what really makes this great is that it has buckets of charm. The proceedings are smooth and fast-paced, and the whole thing feels so classily directed and full of fun that its nigh on impossible not to like this film. You can watch it any time, any where, and it makes such a suitable movie for a huge audience. Great family movie- although the action is quite intense at times and the film is slightly violent, it never becomes too violent for younger moviegoers and is a great film for any age of person.
That's what makes this great too- it can be recommended to anybody. If there is an action directed with better pace, more flair or better set-pieces, than no-one has told me i can tell you. I would recommend this movie masterpiece as a centerpiece to any collection. So, to summerise:
Pros: Fast, fun, lively, action-packed, great cast, good dialogue between characters, entertainment value is very high.
Cons: None that are obvious.
Verdict: Greatness in film. Recommend to anyone who has even a slight interest in films. Can be viewed successively and still retain a high entertainment value. Star rating: 5/5.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easily my favorite of the Indiana Jones combo!,
Ce commentaire est de: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Widescreen) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The third and more than likely the best of the Indiana Jones sage brings the archaeologist fighter hero full circle from the Palaces of the tropical jungles of India, back to the now Nazi controlled Germany and the deserts of the Middle East and is a return to the atmosphere of "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" but with a slightly more Apocalyptic feel. Sallah and Marcus Brody are also back after their absence from "The Temple of Doom". The adventure begins with a large Nazi band lead by the villain leader Walter Donovan captures Marcus Brody and is on a quest to find The Holy Grail in hope of gaining eternal life and immortality.
This movie is probably the best of the three movies, although I might say that about "The Temple Of Doom" as I sometimes feel that it's a toss-up between these two movies in my opinion but I cannot deny that "The Last Crusade" has the most substance and the most fun of all of the three IJ movies while "Temple Of Doom" suffers a little bit from it's negative portrayal of India and it's people and I feel for these reasons, The Last Crusade is the better one in my opinion and easily the best of the three Indiana Jones movies and is Spielberg's crowning achievement in his entire directing career.
Indiana Jones finds himself reuniting with his father Henry Jones Sr. (played by Sean Connery), and Henry Sr. vanished during his quest for finding the Holy Grail. At first when asked by Walter Donovan and Elsa Schneider to help acquire the cup of Jesus Indiana refuses, but he then reluctantly agrees when he finds out that the archaeologist who was missing was actually his father Henry Jones Sr, who he hadn't spoken to much in 20 years. Donovan is the leader of a Nazi band who is after the Cup of Jesus to use for their evil purpose of attaining the gift of eternal life. Indiana's longtime friend Marcus Brody is kidnapped by Nazi crusaders. Indy realizes that the Nazi's are planning to use the Grail to become immortal and Indy must stop them from gaining ahold on them but then, the Nazi soldiers who are after it have no idea of the Grails power and the possible consequences.
The father-son relationship in this movie is probably the best father-son relationship that I've ever seen in any movie. Both Harrison Ford and Sean Connery steal the show with their roles. No other movie in my opinion shows such a great father-son relationship. There are a lot of funny lines in the movie especially with some occasional arguments between Indy and his dad and it's especially funny with Indy expressing his resentment of being called "Junior". I just wonder whatever happened with Indy's mother. Did she die or simply leave the family a long time ago? That's the only thing I think that was missing but oh well. Sean Connery does such a wonderful job in bringing out the character in Henry Jones Sr. Henry Jones Sr. and his son Indiana Jones make the best father-son action duo in any movie that I've ever seen and it shows that one is never too old to be a hero.
I must say that Elsa was a great and charismatic character. I definitely prefer the evilness of her over the annoying cowardice of Willie from "The Temple of Doom" any day. Elsa, despite being evil, she shows a lot more strength, courage, and wisdom than Willie did which I thought was hard to detect in her. I would much rather see Indy face-off against a villain hottie than fall in love with a helpless damsel (Evil tone of voice comes in). The odd 'ally yet enemy at the same time' relationship between Indy and Elsa is great. Allison Doody did such a great job playing Elsa. I think that Elsa is almost as good as Marion Ravenwood from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and far better than the helpless Willie Scott from "Temple Of Doom". I'd rather see angry female villains or rebellious female characters any day over helpless damsels in action movies.
This script I think is just about perfect and Spielberg outdid himself on the directing of the action sequences, and the intelligence, depth, and emotions are strong and crystal clear. The action sequences and the scenes throughout the movie are eye-popping and still captivate me even after watching this amazing movie countless times since the young tender age of 7 when this movie was new and they captivate me more now as I pay more attention to the action scenes. I think that the combination of awesome action scenes, funny lines, a fun and exciting atmosphere, and wonderful and intelligent storytelling all magnify each other and that is definitely the recipe for a modern day classic. The background music during some scenes is stunning as well. I can now say that "The Last Crusade" is the best of the Indiana Jones movies and was a great movie to close out the movie trilogy. It's just unfortunate that this was to be the last of the series but it was a great movie though to close out the trilogy and the legacy that these three marvelous have created continue to define action adventure movies to this very day. If there is a fourth IJ movie, it would be very difficult as the actor who played Brody is now sadly deceased. Perhaps what I think that there should be done is a spin-off of this trilogy being made involving a descendant of Jones in postmodern times like in the 2020s where that descendant would go on major action adventures in modern and futuristic times similar to what Indy went on but that was just an idea I came up with. Get all three of these movies, they're all awesome.
5.0 out of 5 stars Third Time's the Charm,
"mljkb" (Lincoln, Ne USA) - See all my reviews
"Raiders" is probably the best Indiana Jones, but "Crusade" is my personal favorite. Lucas and Spielberg regrouped after the underwhelming "Temple of Doom" (a little too violent and way too kiddish for Jones) to craft this action great. Chock full with more Nazis, rousing action sequences, and sarcastic, sometimes tounge-in-cheek humor and noticably more character development than the first two. And seriously, who better to play Indiana Jones' father than Sean Connery? He gives a hilarious, and yet, sophisticated performance that does not fail to make me laugh every time.
The plot to the movie is Indiana goes on the hunt for his father, after he disappears while working on a project to recover the legendary Holy Grail, the cup of Christ, ect. Jones himself gets caught up in the intrigue, ending up helping his fathers assitant (Allison Doody) discover more clues to the grails' wherabouts. Indy eventually learns that his father was captured by Nazis, and that they are planning to make their armies immortal by using the grails' power.
The movie then really picks up, with Indy and father on the run from a ruthless Nazi Colonel (Michael Byrne) on a mission to find the grail before the Nazis do. On the way, they are spectacular action sequences, including a tank chase scene through the desert, a boat chase through Venice and car chase through rural Germany. And with Spielberg behind the camera and his sharp eye for that perfect shot of Indy thrawting another Nazi, well, give me one valid reason not to watch time and again.
5.0 out of 5 stars The finest adventure I've ever seen.,
My opinion of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade could be deemed slightly biased. It is the first film I ever saw in theaters and it's also the first movie I purchased on video. I even own the same, worn-down, beat-up copy (and look upon it even more fondly than the widescreen edition, for sentimental reasons, of course). I think it's fair to say it's this movie that cemented my love of cinema, the high regard I hold for great escapism, which is sorely lacking from today's cinema; movies that should be fun now drag or bludgeon themselves with relentless awful scripts or MTV-style direction that turns relatively simple scenes into chaotic blurs. The Last Crusade may only be thirteen years old, but I think I can safely say they don't make them like they used to.
The film stars, of course, Harrison Ford as Indy Jones, the archaeologist/adventurer who's on yet another quest, this time to find his father, who'd been searching for the Holy Grail. Said Dad is played by none other than Sean Connery, whose highly charismatic performance is quick to place this film above the others in the trilogy. The rest of the film focuses on this ongoing journey between father and son (eventually joined along by Sallah and Marcus Brody), complete with amazing action and stunt sequences, clever humor, and nasty (but fun) surprises.
The script, by Jeffrey Boam, takes a few cues from Raiders of the Lost Ark, but actually improves upon that story by adding more characterization, particularly with origin of Indy himself. And as a whole, the story is more engrossing because there are more fun clues offered toward the location of the Holy Grail and, thus, more engaging little discoveries (love the "X marks the spot" scene). I'm quite certain, like with Raiders, the plot has a few holes, but they're fairly hard to notice, and I've seen the movie quite a few times, but maybe it's just my enjoyment of the film clouding that up, which I suppose speaks volumes in favor of Spielberg's direction and the performances.
Given that action and adventure is the series' selling point, you can expect the thrills and wondrous delight of discovery delivered in spades. The action scenes are terrific (and matched well with John Williams' rousing, memorable score), the best being an excellent ten-minute setpiece on board (and in) a Nazi tank in a sensational chase sequence across the desert. The climax, complete with frightening booby traps, is a suspenseful venture into the unknown, which is the pinnacle adventure movies aspire to.
Harrison Ford once again slides effortlessly into the role of Jones, delivering another first-rate turn. To some, the performance is a joke; to most, it's acting at its finest. But I think most everyone would agree nobody else could have fit the part half as well as Ford. It's his rapport with Connery that strikes that spark that separates this from 99% of the genre. They craft an uncannily touching, funny, and genuine bond unlike any duo in film history. You could call it a buddy picture, I suppose, but unlike any you've ever seen before. The Last Crusade is a knockout thrill ride, and I seriously doubt any action/adventure will ever surpass it.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great Way to end the series.......,
By A Customer
For now. Since they're comin out with a new indy adventure. but anywho. This is a really great action/adventure movie. It's got the Humor of Temple of Doom, and the Great action scenes of Raiders. Put them together and u get a quest for the holy grail. THere are a bunch of minor action scenes, so the movie never get's boring. Along with the huge finale scene ontop of the Tank. Every Indy movie has that moment that sends Shivers up your spine. In this case, i get mine, when Indy puts a rock in the cannon which blows up one of the guns. Then that army guy opens up the hatch, and he looks around and see's Indy coming up right behind him, and that moment the music just kicks in and makes it a really heroic moment. anywho, yeah, this movie never get's dull, and has numerous chases......
train chase - young indy is chased by a bunch of bandits ontop of a speeding circus train
boat - Indy now seeks revenge on the bandits in an explosive end
Boat Chase - Indy and Elsa are chased through the waters of Venice on speedboats from crazy men with machine guns.
Motorcycle chase - Indy and his dad are being chased by 4 motorcycle Nazi men
Airplane battle/Car chase - Indy and his dad are chased by nazi warplanes in a plane, but then they retreat into a car and are cahsed by them in an explosive finish
Tank finale - a giant fight aboard a tank, nothing get's better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Indy returns...,
ehakus (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
After watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, I was somewhat apprehensive about Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Often, movies in a trilogy get successively worse as the filmmakers find fewer and fewer original ideas to use. Given that, in my opinion, Temple of Doom was pretty bad, I was concerned that this movie would be even worse. This, however, was not the case! I REALLY enjoyed The Last Crusade, and feel that it is the best of the three movies (which says a lot because I also really liked Raiders of the Lost Ark)!
The Last Crusade features many of the elements that made the first in the series so attractive: well done action sequences, humor, and excitement. If you aren't already familiar with Indy's adventures (which is doubtful) I will assure you that they are very entertaining and can be seen by the whole family. Although I am not usually a big fan of action movies, I think the Indiana Jones series (except for the second movie) are really fantastic movies - perfect for relaxation and lighthearted entertainment. Additionally, what makes this movie my favorite in the series is that many of Indy's trademark characteristics (the hat, the whip, the name, etc.) are explained and you learn more about his past. His father's presence also makes him seem more human and realistic.
Essentially, the plot of this movie concerns a search for the Holy Grail, which Indy has to get before the Nazis do. Overall, the movie is very exciting, humorous, and well acted. Top honors go to Harrison Ford (of course) as Indy, whose funny expressions and sarcasm are great and to Sean Connery, who does an excellent job portraying Indy's eccentric father.
I don't know how else to recommend this...it is the ultimate adventure movie! Have fun!
5.0 out of 5 stars The Last Crusade.,
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is probably my favorite one of the trilogy. Humorous, action-packed, a truly captivating adventure...I think that pretty much sums it up.
The movie starts, like all Indiana Jones movies, with that added feature that has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. This time we get to see Indy as a boy, and find our answers to questions that have lasted through two movies. Why does he hate or rather, fear sankes? And even, his real name.
The Story-
to put it in as few words as I can...
Indy(Harrison Ford) goes out to find his father(Sean Connery) who has disappeared while looking for the Holy Grail, which is said to have caught Jesus's blood while he hung on the cross and to anyone who drinks it, is given eternal life(Which, by the way, is entirely untrue). When Indy does find his father, they go looking for the Grail together and end up having a thrilling adventure, of course.
I have seen all the Indy movies and like the first and the last but I don't really care for the second. What I have always liked about the movie is that they all have an added feature in the beginning.
The Lost Ark- We have Indy searching for a gold idol head of some kind.
The Temple of Doom- Indy is trading the remains of a king for a diamond and ends up stuck with a (traditionally blond) blond singer named Willie, getting poisoned, and all the other normal stuff that happens to normal archealogists. :)
And of course, another thing that I like about the movies is that they're great adventure movies that I never tire of watching.
The Last Crusade was directed well, as is the same in all the Indy movies. And although the part was not made especially for him, Harrison Ford plays Indiana Jones very well. In this movie I think that Spielberg made a good choice when he put Ford and Connery together in this film as father and son. They work well together and are both very funny in this movie. I also liked his pick for Young Indy, a very good portrayal.
The last scene has us watching the group ride off into the sunset. I wonder, a sign that this is the end and our heroes are to be seen no more; their last crusade? I certainly hope not. Maybe we will see one more Indy, one more thrilling adventure, maybe his real last crusade. Well, we'll just have to wait and see.
4.0 out of 5 stars Ford Bonds With Connery In Fun Indy "Crusade",
Ce commentaire est de: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Widescreen) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" disappoints, for its inability to construct a believable action scene. Who'd get taken in by this blatant cartoonery? I, frankly, miss the stark realism and gritty humanism of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Temple of Doom". What? They were live-action cartoons too? Well, that changes everything, then, doesn't it?
Kidding aside, you shouldn't ever go into an Indiana Jones movie expecting credible action. And "The Last Crusade" has the least credible, but at times most fun, action of any in the series. Watch as Indy, armed only with a horse and the strap from his bag, manages to outrun and outgun a German tank. Later in the sequence, we get a moment that for me defines the ethos Spielberg and Lucas have built for this series. Indiana is wrestling with some Nazis on the tank. The tank moves slowly towards a cliff. Instead of jumping off the tank at the last minute, leaving the baddies to tumble to their doom, Indy appears to go over the cliff with them. His entourage, which includes his stoic father, rushes to the side of the cliff just in time to see the tank hit bottom and explode. Somber faces all around. Just as they say their goodbyes, the camera cuts to a hand appearing by the cliff's edge, out of their view. It's Indy! He's alive! After a quick moment to brush himself off, he joins his friends to see what the fuss is about. His father does a pitch-perfect double-take upon noticing him, then explodes in joyous tears. The scene ends with Indy, collapsed in exhaustion, surprised when his fedora, thought lost in the wreckage, tumbles into his lap. It's a perfect blend of classic Saturday matinee hokiness with a dollop of contemporary self-awareness. The filmmakers know that Indy's invincible. The actors know it. And most importantly, the audience knows it. But for a brief moment, the film has us going. Then it allows us to laugh at our own gullibility.
Besides mocking the genre pictures from whence it came, "The Last Crusade" spends a lot of time winking and nudging about its own past. The character, by this point in the trilogy, has a lot of history, and much of it is playfully referenced here. One key moment finds Indy and his current Jones girl, Elsa, exploring the catacombs underneath a Venetian library. Intricate hieroglyphics adorn the walls. One in particular looks like a glowing golden box. Elsa points it out and asks, "What's this one?" "The Ark of the Covenant," says Indy. "Are you sure?" she confirms, perfectly setting up his deadpan reply: "Pretty sure." More explicitly is the infamous opening sequence, starring River Phoenix as Young Indiana. In it we see, during one quick trip across a Circus train, the origins of Indy's fedora, his whip, his fear of snakes, and his knack for adventure. Even though I have some trouble believing that the fragile and feline Phoenix will grow up to be the rugged and rough Harrison Ford, he has enough fun during the sequence to make my qualms disappear.
Which leads me to the casting of Indy's father. It might seem far-fetched to have the decidedly Midwestern Ford fathered by Sean Connery. But like Phoenix, Connery has enough fun here to make you forget the differences in their accents. You'll be won over by the twinkle in his eye and the bounce in his step. The movie relies heavily on their chemistry, and at this task it does not fail. Connery, who provided the model for Indiana Jones in the first place (what is Indiana Jones if not an archaeological James Bond?), plays against type: he's a bookworm. Armed with his tweed jacket and neat bow-tie, he's hardly the Jones patriarch you were expecting. Henry Jones is a Mr. Magoo-type character, accidentally finding ways of saving the day, when his more daring son can't. In "The Last Crusade", Connery proves, through the power of his towering charisma and impeccable comedic timing, why he's still a star, some forty years after "Dr. No".
Not so successful a casting choice is Alison Doody. Her Elsa continues the tradition of Indy's leading women getting better and better looking, while being played by poorer and poorer actresses. From Karen Allen, to Kate Capshaw, to a new high/low. If this trend continues, I expect to see Denise Richards in "Indy IV". True, you understand why the shallowness in Indy's character would find her appealing, but Doody brings little more than wooden line readings to the movie.
While not as 'important' a movie as others in his oeuvre, "The Last Crusade" once again shows how adept Steven Spielberg is at manipulating an audience into high gear. The action sequences are economical and exciting, the visual jokes work like a charm every time, and the special effects, while already dated, work in a cheesy/kitschy kind of way. On top of all this, Spielberg throws in more Nazi imagery here than in any of his other movies, including "Schindler's List". When Indy finds himself face-to-face with Hitler, in one of the film's best jokes, Spielberg doesn't miss the opportunity for some fun at the fuhrer's expense.
The ending, much-maligned, does well servicing the story. We've been leading up to finding the Holy Grail, but it's not really an important part of the story, just an excuse for mild adventures. After all, the filmmakers didn't even bother to come up with a menacing villain to stand in the Jones' way. What we do get is a hubristic stooge, whose obsessiveness is burning so intensely, it's obvious to everyone but him that it will be his downfall. The ending provides some suspenseful moments, gives all the characters credible reasons for doing what they have to do to move the story along, and ties up all the loose ends. It's a fine way to wrap up another fun entry in the Indiana Jones series.

Kristy M. Ross "Kristy" (CT, USA) - See all my reviews
After the critical and commercial failure of Color Purple and Empire of the Sun, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas returned to the sure-fire formula of the Indiana Jones franchise. Opting to steer away from the darkness of Temple of Doom and go for a more light-hearted adventure, Last Crusade suceeds wonderfully, with the pairing of Sean Connery and Harrison Ford producing one of the best on-screen pairings since Newman and Redford. John Rhys-Davies makes a welcome return as Sallah, Indy's guide and friend. While not as strong as Karen Allen in Raiders, Alison Doody make a good impression as Elsa, a german women who seduces Indy. The villians are great with Walter Donavan (Julian Glover) as an evil german intent on retrieving the Holy Grail. The action set-pieces are top-notch, with speedboat chases, tank chases, plane chases and all rounded off with an exciting finale, Last Crusade ends the trilogy perfectly. When the film was realesed in 1989, it was greeted with critical praise and box-office triumph.

Re: Downside of living aboard
Actually, there is a fourth type of liveaboard (if there must be labels), which is what I'm doing presently.
Having spent a year refitting and preparing, I then cruised until I stopped to work for a while. Now that I've re-retired, the urge to go back out isn't as strong, especially as I essentially have to go through much of the refit process again (the time and effort I don't mind, the money though is a factor).
So, I find myself in a very good financial situation staying put for now. Thing is, everyone does what they do for a reason that is good for them. Whether it's good enough for anyone else, doesn't matter. For myself, I don't really give a hoot what anyone else does with their boat. There's more than enough people around here worrying about who motors to much, who stays at the dock too much, who doesn't trim their sails enough, etc..

Perennial flowered in April and has continued into November
The tiny yellow flowers of corydalis lutea happily persist in the November garden. The plant started blooming in April, peaked in June and July and still manages to provide color.
I write about the plant a lot, it's my perfect perennial. During the season I spend more time writing about gardening than actually gardening. It's important to have a maintenance free plant like corydalis filling the garden with color.
It will grow in shade or full sun, gets about two feet tall out in the daylight and will form a nice colony in only a few seasons. Best of all it spreads by throwing seeds, not underground runners so it's not invasive.
Many perennials only bloom for a month or six weeks, growing something which comes back year after year and bloom longer than an annual is a miracle in my mind.
I love how the plant pops up each spring in unexpected places like containers, cracks and crevices and even in the vegetable garden 800 yards away.
If you could find some plants at a nursery, they would be cheap and could be planted now. I saw some at Hahn Nursery in Ross Township.
I couldn't imaging having a garden without corydalis.

Late model R100RS vs R100R
I've been considering a post '90 R100RS but noticing that the R100R has the paralever and the RS still used the older monolever rear suspension, I was looking for some input as to fitting out the 100R with the RS fairing and tank or is there an advantage to the older style suspension? I currently have an
R100 GSPD, like the paralever, but figure BMW fit the monolever to the RS for a reason. Thanks
intresting question.you'll be sure to get an answer here.
Monolevers are my favorite airheads.
R's? I am not personally a Paralever fan. They make the wheelbase too long. They weigh more. The drive shaft U joints are more likely to go bad. The driveshaft rubber cush-drive is way more likely to fail over the spring/cam setup on a Mono. The final drive input shaft seal is very likely to leak leading to drive shaft rubber issues. The tranny output seal is too to a lesser degree. The paralever bearings wear out on a very regular basis. But they do have less drive shaft effect. I grew up riding beemers so I am use to that.
And then there are the R's forks. If the forks don't already need new tubes for flaking and pitting chrome, they soon will. I don't understand the need for a rubber mounted fork brace? I love that they have teflon bushings for less stiction but they do need to be replaced on a regular basis. I would say about every 40K miles.
I have always liked the looks of cross spoked wheels but I did not realize until recently that they are even heavier than the Mono's wheels and the mono's wheels are too heavy IMO. That and the cross spoke wheels are rarely even close to straight right our of the crate!
Plus I like the looks of the Mono's better but that is just me.
Thanks, any difference in handling between the two?
Valid observations
Another example of why newer isn't always better! The one thing I have noticed over the years is newer more often than not means lower quality components or under engineered specs. The reason I purchased my first BMW twin in 1987 was because it was a simple intellegent design that was easy to work on, saving me money in labor costs and it was over built so I figured it would last years! I rode that first BMW a 1982 R100 for over 16 years. Yes newer bikes handle better are faster and I have owned some nice newer bikes, but I have a couple of early 80's R - bikes and they are such a joy to tinker with. Parts are expensive but the bikes are easy to restore.
Most agree the R100r is probably one of the best handling airheads ever built. And honestly, I would probably have one if available for the right price despite some of the negatives mentioned above. I used to love the idea of the spoked tubeless rims but now the thought of having to need one rebuilt just scares me!
I have one of each and like the one that I am on at the time better. They both work fine. I love them both, but there are some minor differences.
You can put a RS fairing on any of them. I have seen pictures on this site with a RS fairing on a Paralever R....
I really like my R100R. I would prefer that it was a monolever but other aspects make the bike and enjoyable ride. One thing nobody mentioned are the front brakes. I had a '94 R100GSPD, even with the caliper upgrade I think it was one of the worst braking bikes I ever had. The R100R with the duel 4 puck system works fantastic.
97, why would you prefer a monolever?
Thanks boxerboy, that's what I was thinking about! I had an RS with paralever suspension and wire wheels in mind as a starting point. Do you know if an RS tank and seat would fit right on?
I like the final drive ratios better on the monolevers. Monolever easier to service and sooner or later you are going to have a drive shaft failure on the paralever.
Love the Paralever. I have a GS and an R. IMO the rear suspension is just a huge leap past the monolever. BMW wasn't the only one to realize the benefit; Guzzi used it, too.
I kinda compare straight shaft versus Paralever to driving any number of car setups to a swing axle. If you didn't grow up driving swing axles, they're a handful when you are pushing it really hard. Same deal with most of our bikes. It's just that I grew up riding them. Swing axles? For me? No thanks! I have a friend that can drive the shit out of them but not me.
Four pot Brembo's? They have to work better than the two pots but I can out brake most all my friends with them. Plus the Mono bikes have bigger, beefier Brembo's than the '81-'84 twins. Less flex and bigger pads. I think they work better.

Hi all, quiet day at the office and have been fervently trawling all posts and blogs and a few comments regarding Taker and Wrestlemania have got me thinking. It is fair to assume that Taker will make a comeback/return to the ring in the coming months leading up to 'mania, and as usual the BIG question is 'Who will try and end the streak?'.
It is no secret Taker is in the twilight
Hi Again, I wasn't ripped to shreds for my first blog so I figured it would be safe to return with Part II "How to Fix the Problem"
I will freely admit that my thoughts on this push creative license to the limit, and in all honesty there is no real chance of this ever happening, but with some major twists and returns it could be a MASSIVE build up to Mania. Please accept my apologies

Volkl Power Bridge 10 mid control issues
I just purchased two PB 10s after demoing the racquet for two weeks through TW.
Had no issues with the demos but the racquets I purchased feel like rocket launchers (in a bad way)!
I have a full western forehand and single handed backhand and take big cuts at the ball on every shot - aggressive baseliner
I know some have described this racquet to be under powered but I never felt this way - racquet has plenty of pop and control when you need it (when trying to create angles etc). At least for the demos I felt this way.
The first demo was strung with gripper - which I felt was a bit too elastic feeling (not enough ball pocketing) the 2nd had standard synthetic gut and had great control (all forehands/backhands were dropping in).
For the 2 I purchased I requested two matched racquets. The two I have a swing weight of 286 (unstrung) so probably around 316 strung. They are both strung with full Natural Gut Job (Babolat VS at 54 lbs). All my balls are sailing long 1-2 feet with the new racquets. I've used Gut at 54 lbs before but in a lighter racquet - could this be the issue? The swing weight of the racquets I requested is pretty low but I can't imagine (or I hope) that isn't causing the control issues. I am able to get my forehand in if I hit without bending my elbow only as this way there is more upward momentum in the ball but no use of racquet's heft.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.. thx!
It's the gut, or your swing. 54lbs is very low for VS. It really will trampoline. Up the tension or try a lower powered string. I'd suggest using something like Gosen Micro 1.22 to calibrate your tensions as its a very good reference synthetic gut. Then go from there.
I know tw uses lockout machines which can be an issue with gut IMO
its the gut! bought mine with gut/lux and every shot just sailed. cut the strings and strung them with msv focus hex 1.10 at 52 lbs, and it really solved the problem!
Gut @ low tensions= Rocket Launcher Diamond Deluxe.
Do some string research and try again.
A buddy of mine has me string his PD Roddicks with VS Touch 16 ga. at 62 lbs. I suspect he might go just a little tighter, but he uses the nat'l gut to stay healthy after some serious TE a couple years back (it's worked great for him).
I know that the PB 10 mid is a different sort of frame, but I agree that your setup is probably just too lively.
I also concur that your strings and setup will make a noticeable difference.
I do hope its the gut and problem will be solved if I change the strings!! I had heard that PB 10s can vary in swingweight so requested for TW's two lowest matching PB 10s but never imagined that the swingweight could be THIS low. I hope this is not causing the issue. Haven't tried poly yet. Is it possible that the swingweight could be the issue?? THX!
In addition to what I already said in last post I want to mention- the TW measured specs:
Static weight: 11.6 oz
Balance Point: 12'/16"
Swingweight: 286
Klip Legend 17 Mains for me (less jumpy than VS and more durable) and IsoSpeed Pro Classic x;s for a bit of the poly type spin allowing the ball to drop in the court rather than a bit long.
I would start by spinning the ball more to see if you can take advantage of your new found power. Also you mentioned using VS at that tension before in lighter racquets w. no depth control issue, and that leads me to believe you have lost batspeed w. the heavier frames and therefore lost topspin for depth control
I get quite a bit of racquet head speed and my grip is pretty extreme western already (nadal like). Also I wasn't having any issues with the demo that I tried the day before I got my own racquets in from TW. The racquets clearly feel very springy so hopefully its just the string. I am just confused because I didn't think 54 lbs is THAT low. I just hope its not that the specs of these racquets are too far off what TW states what they should be for PB10s in stock form:
TW states the Swingweight should be 337 strung (mine is 286 unstrung)
Balance should 10 pts HL (mine is stated to be 12'/16'')
It's the gut and tension. Lower sw means less power in theory so that doesn't "make you" hit long.
If you are consistently missing long, then you've got an easy problem to fix...it means your problem can be solved with tweaks in the stringing.
I would start by stringing some 3-5 lbs higher, and then maybe hybrid with a synthetic gut (OG MICRO) in the crosses or maybe even a softer poly in the crosses for a lower powered setup.
Is this the midplus version or the mid?
I've strung mine with VS Touch at 55lbs against Silverstring at 53lbs and don't have issues with the power being uncontrollable. In fact the surplus power is always there which is what is so great about gut strings it allows you to control the power levels depending on how and what your stroke mechanics are like. If I hit flat then the balls may sail long due to the power but I can also hit with more spin allowing me more margin for error thereby keeping the ball in. Stay with the strings becasue as you say 54lbs is not too low for this flexy soft frame and adjust your contact point so that the racket head is not too open upon contact and ensure you are lifting the racket head up and pronating through the shot to get the spin and control.
To the OP, I have to agree with the string recommendations. I didn't realize so many others use OG Sheep Micro. I am a true believer in the stuff because of it's playability, durability and affordability. It's a great string to hybrid (I personally string with Kirschbaum 17 and 18 guage polys).

Critical Review by Dinah Birch
SOURCE: "Growing Up," in London Review of Books, Vol. 11, No. 8, April 20, 1989, pp. 20-2.
In the following excerpt, Birch favorably assesses Barker's use of language and insights into her characters' lives in The Man Who Wasn't There.
[Pat Barker's] novels have all been versions of the same intense story: working-class families or, more specifically, the women of such families, contending with the inequities of poverty and ignorance. Men have always existed on the margins of her narratives. Etiolated and ineffective, they are seen only in relation to the lives of sturdier mothers, wives, sisters or daughters. As a rule they die or disappear, fading out of the story rather like the absent father in [Penelope] Lively's Passing On. Now Pat Barker has both confronted and reversed this attribute of her fiction. Her latest novel, The Man Who Wasn't There, focuses on a boy's relation with the father he has never known. What does it mean to mould your life on a man who isn't there?
Pat Barker answers this question in terms which will be familiar to readers of her earlier books, for one of the conclusions to emerge from this work is that to be a boy lost in a hostile and repressive world may not, after all, be wholly dissimilar from being a girl in the same world. The most unforgettable episode in her first book, Union Street (1982), deals with a girl led into disaster by the fantasy she constructs to fill the empty place of her absent father. Twelve-year-old Colin is the male reflection of this girl. Haunted by the same absence, he also creates an elaborate and consoling drama in his head. Creativity, for Pat Barker, always grows out of loneliness and loss. But such creativity may be a dangerous business. Colin's fantasy, shaped by comic books and adventure films, is set in a schoolboy's notion of Occupied France. Unfolding beside the squalors of a life that Colin rejects, this sustaining fiction, too, almost leads to catastrophe. The dark image of his father, a man in black, steps out of a scarcely controlled imagination and begins to dog his creator like a sinister ghost. Only when Colin is able to recognise what the man in black really represents is he able to rid himself of the self-pity and resentment which had given birth to a corrosive nightmare. Like Lively's middle-aged children, he frees himself by exorcising the ghost of a parent. Here, the parent is not dead but nameless. Recognising that he will never know his own father, Colin arrives at a matter-of-fact wisdom. 'So the blank space would remain blank, he thought. Well, he could live with that. People had survived far worse.'
[A] resigned book, then: but a hopeful one, too. Colin has broken out of an impasse. So, hearteningly, has Pat Barker. She has always written out of an almost uncanny sensitivity to the cadences of the people she has listened to all her life. Reminding us of what unlettered women working in the North of England have had to say, she has colonised a territory which remains unaccustomed ground for the novel. But the solidity of her identity as a writer has threatened to impose its own limitations. There were too many moments in the novels succeeding Union Street to give her readers the sense of déjà lu. The Man Who Wasn't There proves her to be open to experiment. The solution she finds is a clever one, for since Colin's fantasy life in wartime France is fabricated out of parody and cliché, the inauthenticity of its language confirms its function in the novel. The point might have been made less strenuously, but it is worth making. Language is what separates the density of the life which surrounds Colin from the vacuously seductive scenes which he has constructed out of his daydreams. Fantasy has its uses. But it also has its own proper limits, and the resilience of Pat Barker's writing lies in knowing where they lie.

A GUIDE TO OFFSHORE PASSAGE MAKERS (Sailing Vessels)
This is a guide to would be offshore passage makers on sailing vessels detailing the type of questions and answers one should seek, in my opinion, from Vessel Owners/Captains regarding the Vessel/Captain and crew for the intended passage. It has been compiled by myself from my own experiences, hardships, encounters, tribulations and listening to counless sailors at beach side bars complaining about conditions re the vessel or the personel on board,over 35 years of sailing on numerous types of vessels. I''M constantly asked how do I always seem to be on board good vessels and with excellent Skippers.
It is intended to help the would be passage maker from enduring, suffering and making the same mistakes similiar to the ones I used to experienced and perhaps you are going to experience,when deciding which, or whether to sail on a particular vessel or with a particular Captain. Particularly if you are unable to view the vessel, meet with the Captain and you are communicating via the internet by e-mail in response to crew wanted postings. It would still be valuable if you are able to view the vessel and meet with the Captain. It will guide you in what to look for and the state/condition of fittings, apparatus, equipment and gear, crewing agreements, terms & conditions on board, attitudes of Owners/Captains, expectations and liabilities.
It is extensive, informative, professional and not general or in vague terms, in fact a critical analysis. Time is money these days accordingly this guide will save you hours searching elsewhere if you can find it.
There is a small charge for this information of $30 U.S.
If you are interested in obtaining this information, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can proceed from there.
You can check my credentials at my web site,
Cheers and have a better than average day.

Former Aston Villa defender Shaun Teale says manager Paul Lambert needs to strengthen his defensive options.
Richard Dunne has now been released and Teale reckons signing at least one new centre-back should be a priority during Lambert's latest round of squad strengthening.
"Villa need a new centre-half who can start, not just provide cover," Teale told the Birmingham Mail. "Premier League clubs nowadays need four centre-halves who can all challenge for the two places and keep the other two on their toes.
"Villa haven't had that because Richard Dunne has been injured and picked up his wages without kicking a ball all season and now he has gone.
"There's only been Ron Vlaar, Ciaran Clark and Nathan Baker and you can see by the amount of goals Villa have conceded that there has not been enough competition.
"Even when defenders have made mistakes they know they will still play in the next match. It was a bit different when Paul McGrath and I played because we set our own standards, but I think the lads today need more pressure on their places.''

Hi guys and girls, we'd like to show you all some new stuff and give you a general update on things.
First on our agenda are the development blogs, posted weekly (sometimes more often) contain a lot of general news on the modification. The latest one features the Allied Spy in action in our latest test build. That pesky unit from Red alert could infiltrate the Soviet Ore Silos/Ore Refinery, bypassing soviet defences such as the fearsome Tesla Coil, and steal credits for the Allied war effort, it now works in-game.
Recently Two Allied units have gotten an overhaul. Alternate cameo schemes for the Allied Apache Longbow and Allied Ranger have been created, allowing players to select the scheme of their choice to suit the mission at hand.
Next up we have our newest Community Contest, it's open to anyone who stumbles upon it. The winnings will be a Limited Edition APB Prizepack* (and maybe more) which will be mailed to the winner(s) once the competition closes. So check out the guidelines and rules and start submitting!

Our beloved
mod leader supreme overlord attended EA's Command & Conquer 3 Community Summit last week which was hosted at EA Los Angles, which you can read all about it here. He had an interesting time there and met the worlds best evil guy, the man only known as Kane (Joe Kucan) This is the third time that staff from Red Alert: A Path Beyond and it's sister-mod CnC Reborn have been invited to the community summit, and that's not including being invited to other events such as the 2003 & 2006 Leipzig Games Conventions. This means EA fully supports our modifications and they will continue to help us out where needed in the future.
That's about all, I hope to see you on the battlefield.
thats some truly awesome work :D congrats

Comparative Advantage in Blogging
The Economist notices that the George Mason University Economics Department's commitment to blogging has generated a Tim Tebow effect, dragging the rest of the school along with them towards greater prominence.
Of course it seems like trading research papers for blogging is a risky strategy for boosting rankings and prestige. It is unclear whether economics departments in general will value prolific commentary as much as published research. What is clear, though, is that not only does George Mason have a comparative advantage in blogging, but also that it's to everyone's advantage to have these economists sharing their thoughts in an approachable format.
In fact, I'm almost tempted to say that I've learned more reading Marginal Revolution, Econlog, Cafe Hayek, and Overcoming Bias than I did getting a degree in economics from a top-20 university. By maintaining these blogs GMU economists have raised the level of discourse with non-economists from basically zero. The GMU economists are not the only economics bloggers, obviously, and they trade arguments and observations with economists from other schools. Before blogs, this running debate and commentary simply was not available to anyone who didn't read the very narrow and officiated arguments in scholarly journals.
An economic historian once mentioned to me that half of all published economic research articles go uncited (except for by their own authors). Which do you think is more valuable: a medium that's one-half totally ignored, or a medium that attracts millions to read and comment every single day? I'll leave you to answer that one but as for me I wouldn't want to be limited to Tyler Cowen's thoughts just a few times a year.

Travelled with a friend and had a wonderful 3-night stay. Location is very close to lots of restaurants and shops and the main street Istiklal Caddesi. The managers are very welcoming and friendly, you feel like you are staying with friends. They really cared about the quality of your stay in Istanbul and came up with suggestions for restaurants and activities. The breakfasts were generous and delicious, and served pretty much whenever you wanted. The room we had was bright and clean and comfortable. I found a very good price on this website, much lower than anywhere else.

Great place to stay, we could not have felt more welcome and taken care off! One of the best places I've stayed, the owners are very friendly and helpful. I'd recommend it warlmy to anyone going to Istanbul, and next time I go I'll definately stay at Peradays again!

Quixotic place. Peradays seems to be a reflection of the owner. Most things are spot on and modern (design of the space, access to an elevator), but then some things are off (room not entirely cleaned, things in the bathroom broken or odd like the dryer not reaching the mirror). Given that the rest of our accommodations in Turkey have been flawless at the same price range, this sticks out. Also, avoid Tarlabasi street and come down Taksim and then turn off at Galatasaray academy. Especially at night when Natashas/prostitutes hang out a few blocks away on Tarlabasi.

I'd very much like to see more incentive for people to get / have LTS, plus the past and present normal subscribers.
The scamboxes will burn out sooner or later, Cryptic must know that. Rewarding those that pay money into the game skmply to play it would only entice more to do so.

2014 Husaberg FE250 Comparison Review

Husaberg will be no more after this model year. The Swedish marque that sprung from Cagiva's purchase of Husqvarna and its subsequent move to Italy has always been a unique brand. Even the recent models that were assembled alongside KTMs in Austria seemed special with their composite subframe, up-spec forks and striking blue and yellow color schemes. The 2014 Husaberg FE250 comes into this shootout on its way out. However we felt it deserves a final shot at glory, so we put it up against the competition.
"I've always been a big fan of Husaberg," admitted Chris Northover. "I've had a lot in my time, a lot of the old dodgy ones. But the new KTM brand of Husabergs are real good bikes. They've just been a better finished version of the KTM – slightly higher specs with a higher price."
The FE250 got all the engine and frame updates that were bestowed on the KTM 250 XCF-W. In simplest terms the powerplant is based on the KTM 250 SX-F motocrosser, and was tuned for off-road usability. On our Dynojet 250i dynamometer the 'Berg cranked out more horsepower and torque than other machines that share the same 249cc DOHC
single. The FE250 topped the second-best Husqvarna by six-tenths of a horsepower with 32.13 hp and 0.5 lb-ft of torque at 17.68.
Sharing the same engine specs and putting forth nearly the same level of power, the Husaberg's engine performance on the trail was dead even with the KTM and Husqvarna. The low-end grunt trounced the Honda's making it easier to lift a wheel for obstacles and squirt out of tight corners. As a 250cc four-stroke it revved willingly and feels fairly fast on the top end with a decent overrev. The midrange was grunty and meaty, but not over the top. All-in-all it was easy to work the power to suit your needs in every situation without wanting for more.
"I've never been a huge fan of 250F's; I like a little more power," explained Simon Pavey. "But these new 250s are getting close. Now they do have the ability to fire off the bottom. When you see that hole at the last minute you can wheelie and you can hop off of rocks and stuff. So I like the chunkier bottom end."
"It felt very similar to the KTM, I couldn't feel a big difference between it and the others at my level of riding," added Northover.
The Husaberg FE250 is an amalgamation of the KTM and Husky when it comes to suspension. At the front, the 'Berg sports an up-spec, WP 4CS closed cartridge, upside-down fork as does its "Swedish" sibling. A PDS rear suspension system with a fully adjustable WP piggyback shock mirrors the layout of the KTM. We expected the FE250 to have improved handling and suspension over the KTM, but it was not the case.
Right as we set out onto the trail the Husaberg felt off. At speed in the sand washes and fast trails headshake was pronounced and kept us from keeping pace with the rest of the field. The rear-end also felt high and caused the front end to knife badly in turns. We added backed-off compression to the front fork, and added some rebound damping on the rear to
balance out the suspension action, and it helped settle down the FE250. Throughout the test we fiddled with the clickers, and while it was better than the Honda, it was just slightly behind the other Euro bikes.
"It was quite poorly set-up considering it has a lot of the same components of the other two bikes," commented Llel Pavey. " The front end was trying to tuck all the time. It was just more uncomfortable to ride."
Banging through the whoops revealed the Husaberg was just as soft as the KTM, but while the orange bike would go straight, the FE250 would swap about. In rock gardens and chop the front fork was less compliant and defected easier and with more frequency. We all ranked the 'Berg third in the suspension department just ahead of the Honda.
Rowing through the FE's gearbox, it performed with the precision of the KTM. Gear changes were solid, crisp and issue-free. Modulating the hydraulic clutch found the same feel as both the Husky and Katoom – slightly heavy but fade-free.
Sitting on the Husaberg felt more similar to the Husqvarna than the KTM as the two share the same larger, 2.51-gallon fuel tank, shroud shape and composite plastic subframe. The tapered aluminum bars are an easy reach and comfortable whether seated or standing. The seat is motocross-firm and narrow between your legs.
Braking performance is stunning, just like the other two Brembo-equipped bikes. Front lever feel is strong and positive with excellent power using just one finger.
In its final appearance in a MotoUSa shootout, Husaberg takes the runner-up position. Although we struggled with suspension set-up, the friendly engine character and good looks kept it high enough in the subjective categories to capitalize on its wins in the horsepower, torque and fuel capacity rankings. We are going to miss the Husaberg. Even though it will live on in spirit under the skin of future Husqvarnas, it was a unique choice for those that wanted to be different.

Great review. I was looking for a woods/trail bike and found a Husaberg on the floor at the local dealer @ a closeout price... I have been riding Katooms for some time ( own a 950 adventure and a 525exc )so going blue was a question for me that your article/review answered. The outcome? I love the Berg on the singletrack here in Truckee! I'm 50 and have been riding since I was 5 and the 250 has plenty of grunt to get the job done, but is so much more manageable on tight trails and on technical stuff than my 525. Thanks!

Dr. Cobb is an excellent dentist. With a past history of bad experiences in the dental chair, I was relieved to find a dentist who understood this and was very patient with me. His technique for numbing prior to a procedure is remarkable. I can honestly say, I felt very little discomfort with the actual injection and nothing while he performed the procedure. He explained each step of the procedure and made sure I was comfortable and pain free. This dentist has ended all fears I ever experienced in the past. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to find a compassionate, caring and excellent young dentist.

La Verne Teacher Ready to Enjoy Retirement
By Imani Tate
Staff Writer
When Annette Harden entered La Verne College, she majored in sociology and intended to become a sociologist.
After spending a couple of years in town, a growing love for the city of La Verne and a shifting desire to teach, rather than study, prompted Harden to change career options and become a teacher.
After 33 years of service to children, Harden officially retired Monday and "passes the baton to a new generation of educators," said La Verne Heights Elementary School Principal Gary Temkin.
She helped create the standard of excellence at one of the Inland Valley's oldest elementary schools and created special connections with students, Temkin continued.
"I could just go on and on about Annette," the administrator said. "She is a professional in every true sense of the word and is extremely student-centered. Teaching for Annette has been a passion. She's always here early and leaves late."
It is not unusual for visitors to Harden's classroom to find her in costume, re-creating book characters she talks about during reading sessions with her students, Temkin said. If students need afterschool tutoring, she volunteers.
"She's part of a core group of teachers who've created something special at La Verne Heights Elementary," Temkin said.
Harden was among several Bonita Unified School District teachers who retired this year.
Born in San Gabriel and raised in Alhambra, she was the middle girl of Mina and Gerald Good's three daughters. The draftsman and his homemaker wife stressed education and their daughters bought into their parents' ideas.
The eldest, Christine Fleischmann, taught at La Verne Heights School, worked in a Wichita library and retired to Duluth, Minn. The youngest, Gretchen Good of Colfax, Iowa, serves as Midwest finance director of Teen Challenge.
Professional service is a habit Annette also shares with husband Dan, a retired Bonita High School teacher and former La Verne City Council member, and sons Navy Lt. j.g. Shawn Harden and La Verne police Cpl. Devon Harden.
Harden changed her mind about what she wanted to do and where she wanted to do it before finishing her undergraduate studies. She was hooked on La Verne, "a small, quaint town that was then mostly orange groves with a few housing tracts and lots of friendly people."
She resolved to stay in La Verne.
"I never thought about teaching in a big city school after I did my student teaching at La Verne Heights with master teacher Harriet Scully," Harden recalled. "She was an excellent role model for everyone, including her own children who became teachers, too.
"I learned patience from Mrs. Scully, to smile warmly so students know you care about them, to firmly discipline and to give hugs so they know you love them," she continued.
"She said every child needs a hug three times a day: once in the morning from mom, once from your teacher and once again in the evening when you go home."
She served as a substitute teacher in San Dimas and La Verne schools in 1971 and 1972. When a hiring freeze was imposed, she worked for J.C. Penney in Montclair until it lifted in 1974. She taught for one quarter at Gladstone Elementary School in San Dimas before she was hired to teach at La Verne Heights. She spent 33 years at the same school.
When she entered education, she said teachers were generally more respected by both students and parents.
"When you said something to students, they did it because what the teacher said was law," Harden recalled. "Also, parents would come to me and say, 'Can you tell Johnny not to do his homework in front of the TV?' If I said, 'Why can't you tell Johnny?' Parents would say, 'He'll listen to you.' "
"Teachers at this school have been fortunate because parents are actively involved with their children, teachers and school staff, and we have a very strong PTA," she said. "We haven't faced many of the problems other schools face."
Unfortunately, off-campus changes in education have affected students and initiated standards "that have pushed education down a grade," Harden said.
The over-emphasis on tests has threatened teachers' ability to give students' practical and academic applications, she said. It's also taken some of the fun out of being in school.
"Even in kindergarten where kids used to dress up, play store and gain social skills, there are now standards for reading and math. There's more pressure. The testing is just too much," she said.
"A child takes a test for one day. It's reported that this one day is what the child is all about, and that's not true.
"Children have to be well-rounded, social and cooperative. You don't get that from a test. Teachers are there to meet the needs of students, intervene when they're struggling and help them get past the obstacles," Harden said, describing dedicated teachers. "We want them to be successful. We don't want them to lose their love of learning."
Harden's commitment to classroom charges goes beyond her waking hours.
"Sometimes at night, she'll call out a child's name in her teacher's voice," said her husband, laughing. "You'd think she'd be dreaming about her loving husband, but she's dreaming about her students."

These Evil Autumn poems are examples of Evil poems about Autumn. These are the best examples of Evil Autumn poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
Life is a creative
A playful
A dance with
No reason
A non-sensical Mystery
Extending through and beyond logic.
Nothing holds it at both sides
Yet here it is. (There it is)
I see you
stand around
looking confused
being useless
you might come
my way
maybe I say
, but you don't
and just walk away
I then see you
stopped dead in track
you pull out your phone
to give me a text
try to get away
you say through
your letters
I reply okay
because I know I better.
A scream that echoes through the night
A wicked laugh in grand delight
As dreadful as it all may seem
Could only be a witches dream
When darkness falls this hallowed night
And shadows move in erie light
My happiness will be supreme
Could only be a witches dream
In every shadow dark and gloom
That creeps across a moonlit room
There hides a little bit of fear
That something evil could be near
As silly as it all may seem
Could only be a witches dream
When clouds move heavy dark and gray
And darkness hides the light of day
My evil apparitions rise
Their ghastly figures fill the sky
With evil laughs and dreadful screams
Could only be a witches dream
Flayed cat, toad, lizard, snake
What foul potion do I make?
When cast upon hot ash and coal
Turns to powder smites a soul
As dreadful as it all may seem
Could only be a witches dream
Light beams strike my window glass
I dream no more it's here at last
My holy sabbath has arrived
Tonight my broom and I shall ride
The autumn wind will sting my face
As through the night my broom will race
A million moons have seen my ride
Through sleepy towns and countryside
I raise to you a glass of cheer
And challenge you and loved ones near
To look upon the midnight sky
To see my grisly soul pass by
And when you close you eyes to sleep
Into your dreams my creatures creep
As dreadful as it all may seem
Could only be a witches dream
They roam the streets with such evil grins,
Spreading mayhem wherever they've been,
Smashing pumpkins, toilet papering trees,
Stealing candy from good little girls and boys,
They are known in these parts,
As the pumpkin gang.
They ride their bikes throughout the town,
Terrorizing both the young and the old,
Chasing teens down with their eerie lights,
That give off a faint greenish glow,
Cackling madly in their pumpkin-like heads.
The gang comes around every Halloween night,
But nobody knows where they came from,
But it is rumored they come,
From the old Jensen's pumpkin patch,
Deep from beneath the ground where they slumber,
Until next Halloween night.
They appear to be human until they remove their heads,
Dressed all in black from shoulders to feet,
Rattling chains around their wrists,
And sometimes they like to throw them at kids,
Their laugh can be heard echoing about the town,
Like banshee's they cry on this hallowed Halloween night.
Bikes ablazing with greenish fire, dancing in the night,
Like some old deepish broken desire,
They ride the streets like speed demons,
Chasing off any who get in their way,
They do not speak but rev up their bikes,
You better beware,
When the pumpkin gang come to town.
The moon hangs high in the midnight sky,
Pumpkins lay squashed at every doorstep,
Candy from torn bags litters the street,
And green fire glows from where their bikes touched the earth,
Goodbye pumpkin gang, return to whence you came,
Until next Halloween, we will be ready...,
We will be ready... to end your mischievous ways.
Stepping out into the Autumn night of Halloween
It is the Witches and the Warlocks turn to dance
Their air of mystery and mystic is all around
The zombies or the Undead cannot speak
but,their presence seems to be abound
Ghouls of the Men
Vampires within the Ladie's evil grin
It is out here on this Night
When old wives tale frighten us with delight
My footsteps carry me beyond the hill
A cemetery there which omits a deathly thrill
We(meaning a friendly spirit beside me)know the Cackle
Inside many tomb,ready to come out like a babe from its mother's womb
The moon is full and the Old Man paints his smile
Trick or treaters are out,,having fun for a little while
Tonight all Halo as strange yellow mist creeps from behind a boulder narrow
Dancing amidst the moaning dead,darkened shadows surround this timid Head
I feel like Ichabod Crane,strolling,with terror,upon the Midnight Domain
Maybe the old Headless Horseman
Perhaps,the wretched creature of a certain Frankenstein
Many of these apparitions could be just a figment or Reality having a smile
The Corridor of the dark as I wander through a deserted Schoolyard park
An evil happened there,just a few moons not long ago
Halloween Night..1980 when I was ten
A grade schooler was being hazed upon
He was locked in a decrepit old trunk,tucked,not so sweetly away,in the attic of
this old place..his peers left him for the night
They came back the next morning before the session began
after lifting a set of keys from the sleeping janitor,they went up to the attic to see
The trunk was open,HOW COULD HE HAVE GOTTEN OUT??
tip-toeing near the open trunk and peering down with trepidation..
only to find,a bloody handwritten note,written with EXTREME AGITATION
It said:YOU LOCKED ME AWAY BEFORE YOU DECIDED TO PLAY
The school was beset by this horrible deed,and it was closed forevermore
because the children confessed and the Pain would never recede
some say..the spirit of the little lad still haunts the old school
Laughter could be heard if many,who dare,decide to explore it and play it cool
Pardon me,my weary Halloween reader..it is TIME for me to head back before
I become no more,by an ominous Night Creeper(or the Ghost of The Attic Child!!)

Block Island - Day Two - We Are Here
I case you care I am sending this from my slip at the Block Island Boat Basin. So we made it to Block Island.
The trip over was worse than the trip to Orient Point. When we checked the weather forecast this morning, it was bad - rain likely, chance of thunderstorms, wind SE at 15 kts or so.
So I knew it would not be a good trip, but we're on vacation so what the heck?
We were underway at 810, and the first half of the trip wasn't bad. Light rain, wind SE at 15, but the water wasn't too bad. Then the tide changed and wind against tide made for short, choppy seas. Still, after yesterday I knew the boat (and crew) could take it. So we kept on, motor sailing with full main and no head sail.
At one point I saw a squall line approach and I warned my wife that we were going to get hit. This line had lots of rain but not much wind. visibility dropped to a few feet but the heavy rain didn't last long - maybe 5 minutes.
When we were 10 miles away we spotted Block Island - great but we still had 2 hours to go. Then I saw a line of dark clouds to the south. Real dark.
When we were 5 miles away the sky got very dark. The line was here. This time the squall had lots of rain, AND lots of wind. I watched the gauge climb - 20, 24, 28, 30, 32. The water was blown flat. I could not see 10 feet in front of me. I wanted to lower the sail but I was not going to hand the wheel off to my wife or go forward to lower the sail. So all I could do was pinch up close to the wind. By keeping the boat around 10 degrees off the wind we weren't knocked down too much and the motion wasn't terrible.
The big squall ended after 15 minutes and we had under an hour to go. I was cold, wet, and miserable. We made it to New Harbor soon after and I was able to back into the slip and get tied up.
My wife and daughters took a hot shower while my son and I cleaned up the boat.
So we are here, but the weather isn't supposed to be great Monday and Tuesday. We'll do the best we can, a drink at the Oar will help me.
The trip home HAS to be better!
