The Hatch - Cabin in Worcestershire
- Cabin for 6 from £115 per night (read our low price promise)
- 1 double and 4 bunks in same room.
Suitable for children of all ages
Not suitable for pets
Children are very welcome at The Hatch, but unfortunately pets cannot be accommodated.
The Hatch Cabin is as eclectic as the Hatch is as a whole. Creatively and colourfully decorated by Ben and Nada with art, quirky objects, fabrics, rugs, comfy cushions for afternoon lounging, the odd musical instrument and fresh flowers from the garden, it's a cosy and homely space. Perfect for a group of friends, for a family happy to just hang out, or even as a romantic retreat. It's all quite informal: the four bunks, double futon and all sorts of other sleeping scenarios make for a flexible escape – as one would expect at The Hatch. Even though it's relatively close to the main house, it feels very private and peaceful. The views from its own little garden in the meadow are lovely. You'll see tiny marsh tits in the morning, woodpeckers almost every day and owls in the evening. The secret summerhouse a short stroll away is an unusual annexe. Outside there's a big, covered veranda designed for late afternoon lounging or a sunset BBQ.
A few steps away is your private kitchen and bathroom. The Hatch Cabin, while not remote, does feel like a little sanctuary. On your doorstep are 35 acres of rolling hills, ancient woodland, orchards, gardens and lake. Wildlife and walks are all around and so there's plenty of room to roam. Relax, dream, wander, stargaze in the unpolluted sky, or just read a good book.
Hen Parties: Book both The Hatch and The Damson Cabin with its outdoor space (5 min walk) for a hen do with a difference for up to twelve guests. See 'Activities' for some extra entertainment: falconry, crafts, jam making...
Our guests say...
Stunning location. Breath taking veiws. Perfect for our ten year post university reunion. We were very lucky with beautiful weather too!22/07/2016
We had a wonderful weekend, a perfect mixture of wild adventure and relaxation. The Hatch was lovely, very comfortable and very nice touches of fresh flowers in all the rooms. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. We had booked 3 nights Fri-Mon but as we couldn't stay the Sunday night (kids were back at school on Monday) they allowed us to stay the Thursday night. The kids had a fantastic time just running around and exploring, and we felt comfortable allowing them to do this. My son was very sad to leave, and hadn't missed the TV or wifi at all!10/06/2016
Fantastic stay with family & friends, good food, company & happy times. Lovely, friendly hosts in a beautiful location. All aided by the gorgeous sunny weather which certainly helped. A great escape from the rat race.27/05/2016

"We really enjoyed our stay, weather was surprisingly good for October. Hosts left us to it which we liked. Cosy at night and nice touches with the candles, towels and everything you would need in a self catering kitchen"10/10/2014
"It was magnificent."11/08/2014
"The location is absolutely beautiful and we had a lot of fun. The beds in the cabin are very comfortable and the cabins are decorated in a charming style."18/07/2014
"It was magical! There were 14 of us and Dani at the Hatch cooked us an incredible vegetarian meal on the Saturday night. She and Robyn were so welcoming and warm and friendly. We truly had the most fantastic time and the cabins (Hatch and Damson) had everything we needed for the perfect weekend away with friends. We will go back time and time again..."04/07/2014
"We had a brilliant weekend. We were a hen party of 6, and the Hen had a very special weekend. And couldn't believe we'd managed to find such a pretty and idyllic place and stay on budget!"20/06/2014
"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Party of 6, 2 adults and 4 children aged between 4 and 9. Kids loved being able play outside until dark then roast marshmallows in the open fire. They also loved the bunk beds and that they were invited to feed the animals. The adults loved having no TV or electronics and happy, tired children at the end of the day. The cabin was also conveniently situated for trips into Tenbury and Ludlow."13/06/2014

"Great 3 days, setting was beautiful, Dani was fantastic, the boys enjoyed feeding the farm animals, very very lovely."20/04/2014
"We really enjoyed our stay. Best glamping yet – and we are experienced glampers. The Hatch was warm, comfortable, well equipped, clean. The view across the fields was vast, so my children could run free and play with the cows whilst I still had an eye on them. I would sit and read a book by the fire whilst my boys crafted swords out of sticks – very relaxing. Dani introduced us to the goslings, and Robin told us stories of the farm and the local area. I would fully recommend The Hatch to any family wanting a wholesome, relaxing (or energetic if you want to climb the hills) holiday. We hope to return."19/04/2014
"The place and the setting was beautiful. We had relaxing time being surrounded by animals and nature."18/04/2014

"Yes we enjoyed our stay, We were celebrating our anniversary and we had a relaxing time. We chose this location as it was not too far to travel from home.

"We had a fantastic stay in The Hatch and the Damson. The cabins were booked for my 30th birthday and I couldn't have wished for anything better. The owner was delightful, very helpful and friendly, the location was beautiful and the cabins were exactly what we were looking for; different and a bit kitsch! I would recommend both cabins for groups of people looking for a fun weekend away. My only advice would be that two days is not enough!"09/11/2012
"The place was so tranquil and peaceful, it had everything you needed. We were surrounded with trees and flowers and rolling hills, we did many things: played cards, went on walks, played board games, used the gramaphone, had a bbq, watched the rabbits in the morning, played tennis. I was worried that some teenagers in the group would get bored but it was quite the opposite. We had a really good time, we will definitely be going again next year."22/10/2012
"We hired the Damson Orchard and Hatch Cabin for a long weekend with a group of fifteen excitable girlfriends and hosted the best mini boutique festival we could have imagined. The site is wonderful and all the accommodation (cabins and yurts) far exceeded all our expectations. I would be delighted to recommend to anyone!"05/10/2012
"The cabin, kitchen, bathroom were clean and prettily decorated. The covered decking for eating was amazing, and we spent most of our time outside even when raining because of this space. The surrounding area was beautiful. Best of all was just how relaxing it was, having bought food and drink for the weekend there was no need to leave, we walked, played tennis and danced a lot."29/06/2012
"Best thing was the beautiful setting & toasting marshmallows on the fire pit . . . Worst thing, having to go out at nighttime to the loo!!"18/05/2012
"It was absolutely glorious. A wendy house for grown-ups with a wonderful bank of fresh flowers to keep the bees buzzing nearby."02/07/2011
"The Hatch was beautiful. Well looked after, lovingly set out and the veranda was a surprise that we were not expecting and allowed us to have a place to hold our afternoon tea party"23/04/2011
"What special memories we have to cherish from The Hatch. It's so beautiful and surreal. The view over the flourished green valley, the wild flowers. The attention to detail is what I will remember most. The fresh cut flowers, the lanterns, the decorative pine cones, the interior design just creates such a retreat feel. Thanks for making our weekend special."24/09/2010
"We have woken up to another glorious morning and almost cannot bear to leave this beautiful little spot. We have camped in the best campsite ever, seen the stars, eaten delicious vegetables and played to our hearts content.

Good luck with the Primal Challenge VP. And here's to you laughing a lot this year.
This is my first post, kinda late, but better late than never. My goal has more to do with living life than losing weight but I will be using my weight issues as a benchmark. These are my stats as of July 31st:
Height: 5'11.25" (want it to be 6' or 6'2" so bad)
Weight:310.6 Lbs
Wrist: 7.75 (wow, both big boned and fat)
BMI:43.01 (apparently I died years ago)
Bodyfat %: 38.6% (refer to BMI)
Resting heart rate (after wake-up):71
Clearly I am quite grotesque (I say this in good jest)
This is just my introduction, I will start posting up my eating and exercise choices tomorrow. Also, I started the primal challenge already, I just now got around to putting this up
I will not weigh myself or take any measurements again until after the challenge as my benchmark. My goal is to get active, play, workout my brain (not hard, I'm a complete nerd), eat primally, get great sleep, wake up early and without alarms, and did I mention the have more fun part?!? Really, I intend to laugh a lot... and if I laugh just once, consider the challenge a success... It's been a rough year...s
Good luck with the Primal Challenge VP. And here's to you laughing a lot this year.
Thanx mate.
Before I get started, I want to say what I decided will be my brain exercise. I am teaching myself to speak Esperanto, the constructed language that they hope will become a universal second language. I am also devoting myself to mastering Go/Wei Chi. add to that the fact that I'm a grad student and I'm pretty sure I have the brain exercise part down pat.
Okay, so this is my second entry. I decided that at the very least I would only eat when I'm actually hungry and stop eating when I'm full. As it turns out, my body kinda likes the intermittent fasting schedule because i only really get hungry for one meal, and sometimes that one meal gets split into two meals in the space of an hour or two. So here is what I have eaten today (my one large meal):
8 oz Salmon prepared on a skillet with coconut oil
Two large fried eggs in omelet with swiss cheese (slice), onion, tomato, a sprinkle of cinammon
3 cups of mixed greens plus 1 cup of spinach and 1oz of almonds and 1/4 cup pieces of chicken
1/8 medium sized cantaloupe and 1/4 cup of frozen raspberries for dessert.
According to fitday.com this adds to 1,310 calories. It consists of 88.7grams of fat, 81.8 grams of protein, and 51.5 grams of carbs. I got 59% of my calories from fat (mostly coconut oil), 25% from protein, and 15% from Carbs.
Not perfect but not awful either. I am bothered by how few calories I am eating each day, because this is a pretty run of the mill amount of calories now that i only eat when hungry and thus only once a day. I should add that this meal made me very full.
For activities: I took a two hour walk before sunrise (woke up without an alarm) finished just as the sun rose... tired? Yes. Worth it? Hell yes! rarely see the sunrise anymore. Later in the day, did a ten minute jump rope routine. 30 seconds maximum effort, 30 seconds rest. a couple of times I didn't make 30 seconds, and a couple of times I had to rest for up to a minute, but I felt the sweat.
Unfortunately I only had a weighted jump rope... my muscles are burning as a result. So far I haven't found much reason or occasion to play, but I am having fun. I couldn't stop smiling during my walk and I think I might have laughed once. Though I can't, for the hell of me, remember what at or why. SO that's my day. i know it's early but I have no more meals, and I might take a leisurely walk later in the evening for 30 minutes or an hour, but other than that...
It's friday and every geek knows friday is scifi day on tv. Even though the scifi channel sucks now, we've been conditioned over the years to expect quality scifi shows every friday evening in an approximately 3 hour block. Geek Power!
Okay so I misbehaved today. Pancakes with blueberries and two fried eggs for brunch. A three hour nap. Handful of almonds. I am just being so random today. I haven't worked out today, not even sure if I will.
Woke up this morning at around 8 but felt so lethargic and just stayed in bed for a while. I've been dull and sluggish all day. Such a difference from the past two weeks. I figure, if you're doing everything else right, then listen to your body. I just needed the rest.
The carbs in the pancakes (okay you got me, I also had ONE macadamia nut cookie) knocked me out. I haven't slept like this during the day in a few weeks. I am going to try and take a walk this evening, just for the air. I had planned to do a jump rope/sprint training session today for 10 or 15 minutes, but I'm really just feeling very blah right now. It's only 6:33pm so I might get that boost.
I have decided I am going to fast tomorrow. Only herbal tea all day, and spend the time meditating and relaxing. Might even pop in one of my sister's yoga dvds. All in all, I don't think this has been a very primal day, but 80/20. I've been living right for 2 going on 3 weeks now, one off day is only a problem if it turns into 2, then 3 then... etc.
Okay, been gone a minute so here is my update:
I misbehaved during the weekend. Pancakes led to spaghetti etc. I noticed the difference though. My first migraine in weeks (I used to suffer from chronic migraines until going primal), I was bloated, and my sleep cycle has been thrown off from an inability to sleep at night. Also the cravings for everything were intense.
Back on the wagon ended up fasting on Monday to try and clean out my system. I had excess energy so I did a ten minute jump rope routine (30 seconds max effort, 30 seconds rest), followed by a leisurely 30 minute walk and then the same jump rope routine again. On Tuesday I did a little lifting in the form of total body routine for 30 minutes and then went for a leisurely hour long walk. Didn't eat much on Tuesday either, didn't record anything but I know it was all primal based and very little. By Wednesday morning (today) my stomach felt good. I didn't do anything strenuous, just a 30 minute walk, and went back to eating when I'm hungry, stopping when I'm not. Which, as usual, turned into just one large meal.
Here is my meal for the day.
12 oz Beef sirloin on a skillet
1.5 Tbsp coconut oil (1 tbsp for skillet .5 for eggs)
2 large eggs fried
2.5 oz almonds (over the course of the evening)
2 Cups Raw mixed salad
1 Cup spinach
1 medium wedge of cantaloupe
1 slice of swiss cheese
0.5 oz slice of cornbread (with more sugar than was necessary. ugh!)
According to fit day I consumed: 1,431 calories for the day. 115.3g Protein, 93.9g Fat, and 38.2g Carbohydrate. This means I got 57% of my calories from fat, 33% from Protein, and 10% from Carbohydrates.
Not a bad day. Also, this is the largest amount of calories I've had in a day since going primal. most of it came from the 12 oz of sirloin beef I made. I usually fall to about 1,100 to 1,300 in calories. I think this is good. I always feel like such low calories will carry a cost. I am trying to find ways to get in more calories as my body demands more in the future, but to be honest, I'm unconcerned. I'm eating when it moves me to and trying not to get too focused on time and amount. In other words I am trying to act natural and just chill.
I finally think I am mentally ready to graduate from jump rope sprints to actual running. Even though jump ropes extract more effort from you, there is a psychological aspect to actual running that I've been trying to overcome. I shall try tomorrow, or if my muscles are still too sore from my Tuesday workout, then no later than Saturday.

Hi All -
I have a stand alone server running Win2k Server and BE 8.5 rev 3571. I
went to perform a backup today and my tape drive is off-line. Win2K sees
it, but BE says it is off-line. The tape drive is a 20gig Seagate drive
(STT20000A). The cables are secure and the drive is powered - I can put a
tape in it and it will re-tension. The last backup was 2 weeks ago. The
only system change on the system is I applied Win2K SP2 last week. I'd hate
to think SP2 is the culprit, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas
before I uninstalled the SP.

Mark Furtak has been telling the story for years now.
Long before Cole Hamels hit the Nationals' Bryce Harper with a pitch for no apparent reason, long before the Phillies pitcher had built a well-deserved reputation for painful incidents and painful honesty, Furtak — Hamels' high school pitching coach — could get a good laugh by recalling the day he walked to the mound at Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego and told his pitcher to intentionally walk a particularly troublesome hitter.
Hamels response: "Can't I just hit him?"
What few people got then is what few people get now. Not even after that World Series run of 2008, when Hamels pitched through the worst conditions without his best pitch and positioned the Phillies for their second world championship in franchise history. Not even after that closeout game against Cincinnati two years ago or the gut-it-out win over St. Louis in Game 3 of the NLDS last summer, when Hamels pitched with a hernia and bone chips in his elbow. Not even after he drilled Harper, the Washington Nationals' phenom, in the first inning of that game in May.

IACP News
Joseph Carter, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police and chief of the MBTA Transit Police Department in Boston,Massachusetts, testified on January 9, 2007, before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that the prevention of terrorist attacks must play a central role in the U.S. national homeland security strategy.
"Prevention of terrorist attacks must be the paramount priority in any homeland security strategy," said Chief Carter. "Unfortunately, the vast majority of federal homeland security efforts have focused on increasing our national capabilities to respond to, and recover from, a terrorist attack. This is not the way to make our homeland and hometowns safer."
Chief Carter also emphasized the vital role that state, tribal, and local law enforcement plays in homeland security efforts and the need for improved cooperation and information sharing between law enforcement agencies at all levels of government.
Chief Carter concluded his testimony by warning the committee that developing assistance programs that target only urban areas is a fundamentally flawed strategy. "For as larger metropolitan areas become more secure, terrorists will seek out other, less protected targets to attack. As we move forward in developing our nationalhomeland security strategy, we must remember that we are a nation of communities and that all of our communities are at risk," stated Carter.

DHS Announces $1.7 Billion Available for Local Homeland Security Programs
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the release on January 5, 2007, of the fiscal year 2007 grant guidance and application kits for five grant programs that will total $1.7 billion in funding for state and local counterterrorism efforts. With the fiscal year 2007 funding, the department will have invested nearly $20 billion in local planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises.
"This year's grant process will be more user-friendly," said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. "There will be increased interaction with all applicants before we award the grants to ensure effective investment. The funds will be distributed to reduce risk across the United States, not just in a handful of places. But let me be clear that the communities facing the highest risk will receive the majority of the funds."
The five programs that compose the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) encourage a regional approach to strengthening homeland security. Grant funding priorities include reducing risks of improvised explosive devices and radiological, chemical, and biological weapons. They emphasize interoperable communications, information sharing, and citizen preparedness. HSGP fiscal year 2007 funding totals are as follows:
The department has refined its grants programs over the past year to increase transparency, provide a more streamlined and interactive application process, and classify certain core programs according to risk. In addition, the six UASI cities facing the highest risk will be allowed for the first time to apply up to 25 percent of their award toward current state and local personnel dedicated exclusively to counterterrorism field operations.
HSGP risk methodology considers a variety of factors, including intelligence assessments, population size and density, economic impacts, and proximity to nationally critical infrastructure such as international borders. More than 100 law enforcement, emergency management, and homeland security experts from federal, state, and urban areas will form peer review panels to assess this year's grant applications. Upon completion of the review process, DHS expects to announce grant allocations by summer 2007.
IACP Leadership Guide to Protecting Civil Rights
The IACP has released a new publication to help law enforcement agencies throughout the United States enhance their efforts to uphold and protect civil rights. The publication, Protecting Civil Rights: A Leadership Guide for State, Local, and Tribal Law Enforcement, provides a comprehensive overview of the civil rights issues and challenges that today's law enforcement leaders face and gives specific, everyday recommendations on ways to both protect and promote civil rights.
"Nothing is more damaging to the relationship between a law enforcement agency and the community it serves than the perception that its officers have switched from serving as guardians of civil rights to violators of civil rights," said Joseph Carter, IACP president and chief of the MBTA Transit Police Department in Boston. "This leadership guide not only provides suggestions that are designed to prevent civil rights violations but also highlights ways in which agencies can work with their communities to build a better partnership. We hope that this book, with its practical guidelines and recommendations, will help all law enforcement leaders recognize the need for visionary leadership in this critical area and allow every agency to strengthen its resolve to be a part of the solution."
The guide offers recommendations in six areas: early intervention, the civilian complaint process, use of force, racial profiling, personnel management, and data management.
Some of the key recommendations for agencies of all types and sizes are as follows:

IACP Guidebook and Roll-Call Video on Human Trafficking
With funding from the U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women, the IACP has created a guidebook for law enforcement on the crime of human trafficking that covers the federal law; tools for identification, investigation, and response; and resources for victim assistance. The guidebook, which also has a pocket guide for field reference, is available, in bulk, free of charge to law enforcement agencies. To enhance this training, use the guidebook in conjunction with the IACP roll-call video on human trafficking.
The video was created to help law enforcement identify and investigate this emerging crime, offer direction on how to best assist victims, and provide an overview of federal laws. Available in DVD and VHS formats, the video includes a discussion guide and can be shown in three segments:
The training package is available on the IACP Web site, www.theiacp.org, and police departments can request copies by completing the request form located on the Web site and faxing the completed form to 703-684-3448. There is no charge for the guidebook or video. For more information, please call Aviva Kurash at the IACP at 800-843-4227, extension 809.
Police Labor-Management Relationships
The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) has released a two-volume publication series to help law enforcement executives and police union leaders effectively address labormanagement issues that impact police services. The first publication in the series, Police Labor-Management Relationships: Perspectives and Practical Solutions for Implementing Change, Making Reforms, and Handling Crises for Managers and Union Leaders, provides readers with an overview of issues related to the topic and is intended to help law enforcement managers and union leaders adopt a collaborative approach to organizational changes that reduce crime. The accompanying guidebook, Police Labor-Management Relations: A Guide for Implementing Change, Making Reforms, and Handling Crises for Managers and Union Leaders, offers practical methods and tools that can be relied upon as law enforcement and union officials address critical labor-management issues.
As crime patterns and criminal activity change, law enforcement executives seek timely and more effective methods to address these changes. The responses at their disposal often affect the duties of officers and their working conditions and can lead to disputes between police unions and law enforcement executives. The two publications feature survey results from unions and police management on the current state of labor-management relations and offer a variety of perspectives and practical resources to assist with effectively implementing change.
"Today's reality is that operational changes, new policies, and many other measures implemented by law enforcement executives to drive down crime are going to affect officers and require the support of police unions," said COPS Office Director Carl R. Peed. "Traditionally, law enforcement labor-management relations have represented a delicate and less than optimal balance of competing factors. This series is meant to help create more collaborative relations that result in enhanced police services."
Download the series from the COPS Office Web site at www.cops.usdoj.gov, or order free hard copies from the COPS Office Response Center at 800-421-6770.
151 Officers Killed in 2006
There were 151 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty nationwide during 2006, with traffic-related deaths jumping dramatically over the prior year and shooting fatalities dropping, according to preliminary figures released by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and Concerns of Police Survivors, two nonprofit organizations that track officer fatalities.
California had the most fatalities with 17, followed by Virginia with 10, New York and Texas with 9 each, and Florida and Illinois with 8 each.
For the ninth straight year, traffic-related incidents claimed the lives of more officers (73) than shootings (54) or any other cause of death. Of the 73 officers who died in traffic-related incidents, 47 were killed in automobile crashes, 15 were struck by vehicles, 9 died in motorcycle crashes, and 2 died in bicycle crashes. This represented nearly a 16 percent increase over the 63 officers who were killed in traffic-related incidents in 2005.
The number of officers killed in shootings declined by nearly 9 percent from the 59 who were shot to death in 2005. These numbers are consistent with a historical trend that shows the number of officers killed in automobile crashes has jumped by 40 percent over the last three decades, while the number of officers who were shot to death during that period has declined by roughly the same amount.
Other causes of deaths included job-related illnesses (18), aircraft crashes (3), beating (1), stabbing (1) and terrorist attack (1). Five of the officers killed during 2006 were women.

While GPS tagged photos are handy for always knowing where you took a photo, location data embedded in photos does have unsettling privacy and security implications. Should you be worried about the risk of people tracking you down via photos you post online?
I keep all my location and GPS services turned off, by default, on my Android phone - however I was totally unaware that the phone had the capability to tag my photos as well.
After reading the article, I checked the settings menu on my phone's camera and discovered the GPS setting was in the "OFF" position.
Having never previously tinkered with that setting, I can only assume one of two possibilities is true in this case -
Either the GPS setting on my phone is set in the "OFF" position by default -- or (more likely) it's connected to the main location settings on my phone, which I keep turned off unless I have a specific need for them at any given moment.
One thing I have noticed is that my phone will tag each picture with the date it was put on the device - either directly with the camera, or uploaded from another source.
TMI - If you ask me.
Unless you're posting kiddie porn pics that are geotagged to your home address, which will send the cops stalking you, no worries mate!
Jason: With respect, I am a little shocked that you find anything less than 100% security for one's children an acceptable stat. As a writer for HTG you are, no doubt, aware of the expression nine 9s when trying to achieve high availability of systems or reliability of data storage, etc. Why in the world wouldn't we strive for at least the same level with the safety of our children?
I just turn on GPS when I need to; like when using Google Maps. Otherwise, it's off, and any app that wants to turn it on will get info of me being on the North Pole (thanks to XPrivacy).
The formula for percent is 100*(X/Y), not simply (X/Y).
Actually it's (x/y)×100%. Without the percent sign, it's mathematically incorrect, as:
3- × 100 = 754
253 100 75- × --- = --- = 75%4 100 1001

I have one I'm considering doing this to. I've searched the archives and found scores of marlins but virtually no 94's. Has any one done this? What mount do I need? Pictures would help. Thanks in advance....chas

Depends if you have a Top Eject or Angle Eject model. If top eject, there are limited options at best. Sparing you all the options, the best one I've seen and used on my old MDL 94 is the XS Sights Scout Scope mount. It mounts the scope forward of the receiver on the barrel. It requires the use of an intermediate eye relief scope (IER). Leupold and Burris makes them. Maybe others. I put the Leupold M8 2.5x on mine and like it very much. Affects the balance of the carbine a little, but worth it if you have to have a scope.
I'm a fan of XS products. I've mounted their peep sights on 2 other carbines I have and they're great.
If AE, there is a good selection of mounts/bases out there and you shouldn't have a problem finding what you need at MidwayUSA or Cabelas, etc.
December 23, 2010, 12:02 PM
Thanks for the reply. Mine is the old top eject model. I would definitely have to go with a EER scope mounted forward of the action. I don't care for the side mount arrangement. I looked at the XS mount on Midways website. But it says for model 94 AE. I don't want to spend $50+ dollars on something that won't work.
December 23, 2010, 01:24 PM
I've used side mounts on a top eject 30-30. I think they are fine. Not for fine shooting but niether are scout setups.
December 23, 2010, 01:35 PM
THe XS Lever-Scout mount uses the barrels rear sight dovetail at the front, and the drilled & tapped scope base holes in the top of the receiver at the rear for attachment.
Standard top-eject 94's don't have scope base holes in the top of the receiver obvously.
Not to mention the Scout mount would block ejection of the cases.

Standard top-eject 94's don't have scope base holes in the top of the receiver obvously.
Not to mention the Scout mount would block ejection of the cases.The XS mount that I looked at on the Midway site looked like it only used the forwad scope mount holes, well forward of the ejection port. My older model obviously doesn't have these holes, but it does have the same available space forward of the ejection port. I wonder if it could be drilled and tapped?
December 23, 2010, 09:02 PM
The good people over at XS can direct you to the right parts for an older 94. Just call them. Their contact info is on their website.
December 23, 2010, 09:22 PM
I have the XS scope mounts on my Model 94 TOP EJECT. I'm not making this up. XS makes a mount that works on the TOP EJECT 94. It is rock solid and I use it every hunting season. You can order it from Brownell's, or directly from XS sights. It mounts on the forward part of the receiver and the rear sight dovetail. It is a great set-up and superior to the side mounts. The scout scope is great for thick woods hunting, allowing the shooter to use both eyes. If you want to scope a T/E 94, it isn't going to get better.
Abel is right, the XS folks will square you away.
December 23, 2010, 09:42 PM
I had the XS Scout mount on one of my 94(AE) Trappers. While it worked, I really hated what it and the scope did to the whole feel of the gun, so I ditched it in favor of their ghost ring. The ghost ring left the gun basically intact, and didnt mess with the balance and feel.
Dont get me wrong on the scout thing, I do like it and have a Savage scout, and have, and have had other guns set up that way, including M1A's and AK's. Some things are just better left alone though.
December 23, 2010, 09:45 PM
Step away from the drill!
Do not mutilate a Model 94 that is not factory-drilled.
December 24, 2010, 07:25 AM
Step away from the drill! Yeah... I really don't want to do that either. I'm going to investigate the XS site and Brownells. Thanks to all for the input. I was really hoping to see pictures of a 94 already set up.

If you need a scope that`s one thing but the 94 looks and feels so much better with a peep sight . You may have to give up some shots due to various reasons but it kind of keeps the 94 as originally intended....clean,simple with the look of yester-year. Scope if you like and enjoy the combo. :)
December 24, 2010, 08:43 AM
It appears in the link the scope base is secured at the rear by the dovetail. In front, it seems to replace the front handguard band. It's noted it will only fit round barrels, not octagon.
We're not limited to long eye relief pistol scopes to make this work. Considering the range and application, a red dot would be smaller and less obstrusive in style, and work just as good. Pistol shooters are already using them further forward with their arms extended, mounted just forward of the receiver would be 1/2 as far and effective. The size could be handled by short piece of rail covering the dovetail only.
December 24, 2010, 12:49 PM
Believe it or not folks "scout scoped" Win94s in the late 1960s and easrly 1970s.
One outfit made a LER scope with + reticle and another made a red dot that used available light to "power" the dot.
Everything old is new again!
About five years back I saw one of the LER scopes and mounts at a small local show for mere $100 but I always promise myself to walk an entire show before spending my limited cash......one day I will learn, as you guessed it, in 10 minutes it was gone.

Yep, my feelings exactly.

Before spending money on something I would only be doing on a whim. I decided to do a little "BUBBA" research. I wrapped the barrel and foregrip with a folded paper towel and "Duct Taped" a small shotgun scope to it in about the area that a scout scope would sit. As it turns out, I didn't care for the "Feel" at all. So for now the 94 stays as is.
December 29, 2010, 11:32 AM
Chas08 makes a good suggestion of prototyping and trialing the concept beforehand to see if it still appeals to you.
Leupold *used* to make a forward mount for the T/E W94. Purchased the mount in a private sale several years ago and installed it along with a Burris LER scope. Pretty reasonable setup. Just wished my W94 was more accurate :-( Townsend Whelen was right :-)

I have my Dad's pre 64 Model 94. It has been Scout Scoped since probably 1962 or before. It sports a 2X Weaver LER, on a Weaver mount that the rifle was drilled and tapped for way back when. My Dad used that gun for deer until his death in 1979,..and I have used it many times since. I make a point to shoot it some every year, even if I don't hunt it. I have never had to adjust the scope since 1979!!! What's even more remarkable,..my son has fired it a number of times,..and the scopes setting is good for him as well. It will be passed on to him.

Years ago some folks would mount a Bushnell pistol scope on the barrel of the top ejecting Win !894 (in fact there was a commercial mount made for that purpose).
December 29, 2010, 06:06 PM
You might look for an old Redfield FrontIER scope and mount for your 94. They occasionally show up at gun shows and old gun stores. It used a small diameter (3/4") low power (2X) scope with a quick-detachable base. The base replaced the rear sight, and incorporated a somewhat adjustable emergency sight.
It does make for quick sighting.
I saw one on Ebay while working up this post.

Another possibility is one of the small Burris "Fastfire" reflex/red dots. Turnbull's makes a mount that goes in the rear sight dovetail, and the sight fastens to that. No magnification, but light and quick, and no modification to the gun.

The International Fragrance Association is a self-important, uninformed, irrational group of tyrannical beasts that all probably smell of rancid cat piss and sweaty crotch.
Just thought we'd start things off on a mature and cordial note. I needed to get that out of my system.
I have two little cousins who have severe tree nut allergies. Their mother fastidiously checks labels to ensure she doesn't unwittingly hand her kids something that could kill them. It's not that hard since most companies take the precaution to label whether or not their product might contain nuts. She knows, for example, that Papa Gino's is a nut free chain - because she asked and they told her as much. They can eat all the pepperoni pizza from Papa G's without fear. It's called being proactive, informed and not expecting a governmental body to regulate the world into submission.
I, on the other hand, do not have a nut allergy. I sprinkle toasted hazelnuts atop my roasted butternut squash. I throw a handful of walnuts atop my morning's oatmeal. One of my top three favorite candy bars is Snickers (right next to Reece's b.p Cups and Milky Ways). But if my little cousins are coming over for a holiday I am sure to not cross-contaminate food, or select a menu that avoids tree nuts all together. Rocket science it is not. Common sense it is (shout out to Yoda). My aunt is very allergic to bees - to the point she could die from too many stings. Shall we kill every single bee on the planet because some people are dealthly allergic to them? Or, more to the tune of the IFRA's method: shall we breed bees to have no stingers and ensure the absolute extinction of natural-born bees? Personally, I quite like the idea of never being stung again but the concept reeks of sci-fi freakishness, in a bad way (because I am a sci-fi freak, in a good way.)
Why am I talking about nut allergies for the second post in a row? Because the IFRA is killing perfume. If a commonly used ingredient in perfume was, say, cyanide, I could see the use of regulating it. Cyanide is a deadly chemical, in certain amounts and capacities, that is said to smell like bitter almonds. Let's say one squirt of Parfum de Almande Cyanide is fine for your health. But three or more sprays will kill you. Should this ingredient be regulated? Yes - since it would be lethal for 100% of the population (imagine inhaling Hydrogen Cyanide disolved into the fragrance each time you spray it on yourself. Yes, it's too volatile and boils at 79 degrees. Just go with me on this?). Majority rules. Plus death is slightly more horrific than a case of dermatitis - which is a fancy word for a rash. Should all things latex be outlawed? Or, instead, should you avoid latex gloves and condoms, and let the rest of the population use what works best for them?
I've been trying to do research on perfume allergies. The test for fragrance allergies is a regular skin test where the potential allergan used is a mixture of several common perfume ingredients, known as a Fragrance Mix. An alleric reaction to the mix is irritated skin. Haven't read anything about someone going into anaphylactic shock, thought I'm sure the possibility exists.
Overall I am disgusted by the IFRA. Their power is real: if a perfume manufacturer doesn't subscribe to the IFRA's standards they can be subjected to punishment by the EU.
The IFRA is refers to themselves as being part of "the industry." Wrong, they aren't part of the perfume industry. They're the perfume world's arch nemisis. The IFRA is Lex Luthor. Let's get one thing straight: perfume and toxic cleaning products aren't the same thing. Perfume is an art that is benign to the majority of the population. Clorox bleach kills AIDS. Should these be regulated in an identical manner? No. Likewise, if you drink bleach you'll probably die. But you can still buy it and use it according to the instructions. But say you have a particular sensitivity to bleach. What do you do? Perhaps you wear gloves. Or perhaps you use a non-bleach product. The real industry doesn't put deadly chemicals into perfume - especially now that there is a huge throw back to true perfume artistry, using the finest natural ingredients we can safely harvest without harming animals and the environment. And if they did, and I knew it was deadly, I'd probably avoid that perfume much like I avoid downing a bottle of Tylanol or stabbing myself in the heart with a knife. Common sense, yanno?
I'll avoid sweeping generalizations about the citizens of the E.U and the U.S and our docile submissiveness towards our governments' recent trend towards pure Big Brotherhood. It absolutely sickens me when nasty regulatory bodies step in, waving around their wand full of totalitarian pixie dust. I'll try really hard to keep this simple and unoffensive (hah!!! I love offensive. You frakking frakkers. This can be the pro-perfume blog for the young and rebellious. Not the adult and polite.) This is about individual freedom to make choices for ourselves regarding our health. The danger of dermatitis from perfume is 1) statistically unlikely 2) not actually a deadly condition 3) affects the person who applies the fragrance, not a bystander (who may have a reaction, but it would be sneezing, not a rash).
If anything, their investigative findings should reveal a need for proper labeling. This empowers perfume lovers and wearers to see if there is an ingredient to which s/he is allergic and refrain from using it. Meanwhile, those of us who aren't allergic to citrus oils and oakmoss can continue to wear our summer and cypre favorites.

I'm always looking for stocks that have a chance to make a solid upward move in several quarters or several years. But sometimes, you catch a break and can bag some upside much more quickly than that.
At the end of January, I suggested that shares of Sandridge Energy (NYSE: SD) looked more appealing than energy giant ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), predicting that shares would rise 40% to $10 "over the course of 2011." One month later, shares have already surpassed that target, and it's already time to take profits.
Time to re-deploy
If you bagged profits with Sandridge Energy, I've spotted a new pair of names that may be poised to break out and could be worthy beneficiaries of your investing dollars.
Both of these stocks could be seen in a new light in coming weeks, as the Obama administration finally looks set to give the green light again to offshore drillers in the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, on Monday the Obama Administration approved the first deepwater drilling permit in the Gulf since the BP (NYSE: BP) disaster last spring. That's why you need to focus on drilling plays that appear reasonably priced.
My current choices: Parker Drilling (NYSE: PKD) and Newpark Resources (NYSE: NR). Both these firms should benefit from an expected rebound in drilling activity in the Gulf.
Newpark Resources
Texas-based Newpark Resources is the "Home Depot" of the gas drilling industry. The company sells or rents a wide range of products such as drilling fluids, drilling mats (that enable equipment to traverse across soggy sea floor beds) and a range of environmental clean-up services used by drillers. Business has been pretty good while the Gulf has been in shutdown mode, thanks to an expansion into Brazil and elsewhere, but Newpark still generates more than 50% of sales in the United States. By my math, international business is likely to remain solid in 2011 and U.S. business should rebound nicely.
As an added kicker, Newpark could benefit from federal decisions to restrict the use of harmful chemicals in onshore natural gas drilling, known as "hydrofracking" (which was the focus of "Gasland," a Best Documentary nominee at the Oscars and the focus of a major article in The New York Times Sunday). Newpark offers a proprietary technology that uses mud instead.
Newpark on Feb. 17 released impressive fourth-quarter results, which helped shares to the $7 mark for the first time since November. Back then, shares plunged from $9 to $5.50 on concerns that the company's profitable Gulf of Mexico clean-up business was drying up. Investors mistakenly assumed that Newpark's other businesses would take some time to pick up the slack. But with Gulf drilling activity set to rebound and the rest of the company's divisions firing on all cylinders, that pessimism proved costly to those who sold off shares after they plunged in November.
In coming weeks, I expect analysts to re-visit their earnings models, taking their outlooks up just as fast as they took them down a few months ago. Right now, analysts are looking for roughly $0.55 a share in earnings (EPS) this year and $0.65 in 2012, though I expect to see each of those forecasts to be upwardly revised by about $0.10.
Rising activity in the energy sector could enable Newpark to generate higher pricing for its goods and services, and when that happens, look for analysts to apply a more robust target multiple on the stock. A forward multiple of 14 on my 2012 view of $0.75 in EPS could push the shares north of $10. The shares currently trade around $7. That's 40% upside.
Parker Drilling
Parker Drilling, another Texas company, is also likely to see a boost from higher drilling activity in the Gulf, augmenting its U.S. land-based and international segments. The company rents a wide range of tools used by drillers, from basic hardware all the way up to complex deep-water rigs. (One of its rigs just drilled down to an impressive seven-mile depth, which the company believes to be a record.) Parker's business is further diversified by its role in the design and construction of drilling rigs for other customers.
Rig-building can be an expensive business: Parker Drilling's capital spending nearly doubled in 2010 to $219 million. That has been a real concern when you note that the company carries more than $400 million in long-term debt. Total debt stands at 45% of the company's capitalization. Yet as results start to strengthen, thanks in part to a re-opening of Gulf drilling activity, cash flow should move nicely higher and put any debt concerns to rest.
EBITDA has fallen the past few years, from $274 million in 2007 to just $153 million in 2010. As pricing and demand strengthen in 2011 and 2012, that metric should move back up above $200 million and approach the $250 million mark by 2012 or 2013. Rising EBITDA should help Parker Drilling to pay down some debt, moving the debt-to-capital ratio well lower. As that brighter outlook comes into focus, shares could rally in advance. From a current $5.25, I see a possible move of more than 50% up to $8 (which is still below the $10 to $12 range seen in the middle of the past decade).
Action to Take --> These are highly cyclical stocks that appear to be entering the sweet spot of their cycles. They each look to have solid 30% to 50% upside in the next 12 months and perhaps even more if you've got a multi-year time horizon.

Baseball Earns 7-6 Extra Inning Victory Over UNCW
WILMINGTON, N.C. - The Ball State baseball team battled back to earn a 7-6 11-inning victory over host UNC Wilmington at Brooks Field Tuesday afternoon. The victory improves the Cardinals to 4-8 on the season, while the loss drops the Seahawks to 4-7 on the year.
UNC Wilmington scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to force extra innings after BSU held a 6-2 lead. Ball State did not back down though as it scored the game-winning run in the 11th inning as junior shortstop T.J. Baumet (Brownsburg, Ind./Brownsburg) drove in freshman Wes Winkle (Muncie, Ind./Yorktown), who led off the inning with a single.
UNC Wilmington struck first in the bottom of the third inning against senior right-hander Brad Piatt (Galveston, Ind./Lewis Cass). The Seahawks led things off as Ben Thielsen reached on a single and moved into scoring position after a sacrifice bunt. Cody Stanley drove in the game's first run as he singled into right field and Thielsen beat the throw home to give UNCW a 1-0 lead.
Ball State answered back in the top of the fifth inning against Seahawk starter Daniel Cropper. Freshman Blake Beemer (Clayton, Ohio/Northmont) led off the inning with a single and moved to third as fellow freshman Kevin Franchetti (Highland, Ind./Andrean) singled through the left side.
Winkle drove in the tying run as he grounded out to short to plate Beemer. Sophomore second baseman Mitch Widau (Richmond, Ind./Richmond) gave the Cardinals the 2-1 lead as he singled into right field to plate Franchetti.
UNC Wilmington tied the game back immediately in the bottom of the fifth inning as Thielsen and Mike Rooney led off with back-to-back singles. Grayson Evans tied the game with a double to plate Thielsen and move two into scoring position. Redshirt sophomore right-hander Perci Garner (Dover, Ohio/Dover) came on in relief and worked out of the jam as he got three outs to strand both runners in scoring position.
Ball State retook the lead in the top of the eighth inning as Baumet started things off with a one out single to chase Cropper from the game. Baumet moved to third base as he stole second and advanced on a UNCW throwing error with two outs.
After an intentional walk to junior Kolbrin Vitek (Bryan, Ohio/Bryan), senior third baseman Zach Dygert (Angola, Ind./Angola) came through in the clutch. Dygert ripped the first pitch he saw into left field to plate Baumet and move Vitek to third. The Cardinals executed a double steal that brought home Vitek and gave the Cardinals a 4-2 lead.
Ball State picked up two insurance runs in the top of the ninth inning as Franchetti reached on a one out walk. After the second out of the inning, Widau reached on an infield single and Baumet drew a walk to load the bases. Freshman Kirby Campbell (Muncie, Ind./Yorktown) came through with some two-out lightning as he ripped a 2-2 pitch up the middle to score two runs and put Ball State ahead 6-2.
UNC Wilmington fought back and tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning as it scored four runs with two outs. Garner started to tire and walked two batters before getting two outs. Right-hander Seth Hobbs (Marseilles, Ill./Seneca) come on in relief and allowed back-to-back two-run singles by Evans and Ridge to tie the game at 6-6.
Ball State battled back in the top of the 11th inning as Winkle led off the inning with a single off of Ryan Walker. Widau followed with a perfectly placed sacrifice bunt to move Winkle into scoring position. Baumet continued his strong play as he ripped a fastball down the left field line for a run-scoring double giving the Cardinals a 7-6 lead.
UNW Wilmington made the game interesting in the bottom of the 11th inning as the Seahawks got the game-tying run to third base. Senior right-hander Aaron Hammons (Greenfield, Ind./Greenfield Central) came out of the bullpen to make his first appearance of the year after battling an injury. Hammons was able to get the final out of the game as he induced a fly ball to right field to strand the bases loaded and earn his first save of the season.
Piatt lasted 4.0 innings in the no decision for BSU as he allowed two runs on six hits while striking out three batters. Garner turned in strong work out of the bullpen as he went 4.2 innings and allowed just two runs on three hits while striking out six batters. Hobbs (2-0) picked up the victory in relief as he went 1.1 innings and allowed two runs on four hits.
Cropper went a season-high 7.1 innings and allowing just three runs on six hits in the no decision. Walker was charged with the loss as he allowed one run in 0.2 innings of relief in the 11th inning.
The Cardinals continue their spring break trip Wednesday afternoon when they travel to the College of Charleston. First pitch is set for 5 p.m.

Narrator: Remina Jorgenson
Interviewer: Andrea Stucki
Date: November 17, 1995
Moses Lake, Washington
[The following is not a verbatim transcription]
Side 1
She read from a prepared statement for the first 15 minutes or so of the interview:
She majored in physics, chemistry, math—had seven kids—decided that best place to raise kids was on farm. She and her husband heard about the Columbia basin—he went and saw it—spent a day looking the place over—bought a unit in 1940, while Coulee Dam was still being built. Construction was stopped because of War. She and husband decided to move there.
Came to Moses L. in 1946—water not in their unit—bought land in May Valley next to the lake—farmed rocky land but produced good crops.
Husband Melvin and her sons participated in various community and church organizations. Melvin Branch president for 7 years—he wrote a 40-year history of the ML branch of the LDS. She was drama and musical production director for the church.
Talks about musical productions in which she was involved for LDS
Talked about how they got kids to rehearsals for church productions. She said that she has great photos of the LDS musical/drama productions that she and kids put on for church. These various productions involved between 100-1200 local kids.
Talks more about church productions and member involvement—what the church did in the community—what women in the church did.
Said that she has photos and newspaper articles re: church activities. She did lots of the directing of these church productions.
She was born in 1907 in Lyman, WY. Parents moved to UT when she was 8, and she attended BYU and got her degree there. Maiden name was Larson. The only other place that she lived before coming to ML was Vernal, UT.
They grew mostly alfalfa on their farm, but also a little wheat.
Husband was shown the area where they finally bought by a realtor.
No direct connections between her or her family to LAFB.
I: How did LAFB change ML?
J: Lots of base fellows come to church and other LDS functions—dances and recreational things. They also came to Sunday dinner at her home, and some were interested in her daughter.
I: How did the population of ML change?
J: "It was amazing how it grew once the water came into the valley. There were new people . . .every week we had new people coming, just ever so many. It grew, from the beginning, when my husband went in as the branch president there were 350 and when, in seven years, it increased to over a thousand. So that was just from our church, so you can get some idea of how it was increasing."
I: When the dam came in did the ethnic groups change at all?
J: Changes to the ethnic groups—an improvement—was a product of the times. "When we first came I remember there was one grocery store, a little post office, and a little furniture store. And that was it, in Moses Lake. It was just that small (chuckles)."
J: When the dam was built the main change was the increase in area farmers. "Oh yes, yes, that's what brought them in."
I: Would you have moved to ML if the dam hadn't been built?
J: "No, no, because it was all dry farming and we weren't interested in dry farming."
I: Why does she like ML?
J: Great place for kids, lots for them to do, lots to do for everyone. All kinds of activities—it is a growing and producing community—she's really enjoyed the growth and opportunities offered there (e.g., sports programs, parks, swimming, skiing in the mountains, camping in the mountains, it is a very interesting area to live in.
I: What things did she personally do in church?
J: Children's plays, Relief Society work, bazaars, singing mothers, president of the Stake MIA for 10 years, took LDS youth into the mountains on camping trips, performed dance and musical festivals.
Neither she nor her husband worked on the dams—too busy farming.
I: Why did her kids stay in ML?
J: Lots of opportunities here for advancement in knowledge, citizenship service opportunities, jobs.
I: What does she think of the ML industry boom?
J: It was wonderful—especially important was the beet factory)—growth great for church, crop diversification, best climate for water production of any place in nation—ideal climate—long summers and productive winters—ideal.
She's from a family of 9 and her husband from a family of 11
What work she did when she and her husband farmed. Commentary on her kids working and on the positive impact of kids working.
Problem today is that kids today don't have anything to do. More commentary on what ails today's youth.
I: Before the industries came did they have problems transporting their produce?
J: "Yes, we hauled produce down to the Tri-Cities, and hauled some of it into Canada to sell it. Yeah, we've done a lot of different things with our produce . . . like raised a big patch of watermelons one year and couldn't sell 'em here so we took 'em into Canada and boy, they snapped them up just that quick ." (laughs)
I: So having industries is really beneficial?
J: "Uh-huh, uh-huh, the industries have been wonderful. It's been wonderful. I mean if you can't sell your products then its no need of raising them. And it's expensive to raise them . . . machinery, water, taxes, fertilizer . . . it takes good management to be able to pay out because of the expense of producing."
I: Have those things changed a lot?
J: "Where you are assured of a market then it's comfortable, otherwise it would be a real headache. And its good that they have allowed . . . in the first place we could only own a unit, a wife and a husband could only own a unit, but one unit won't justify the machinery that it takes to produce, so they've allowed us to increase our acreage so that we can afford to buy the machinery that it takes to produce. A unit is usually about 80 acres—I know some of the acres, one of my sons farms better than a thousand acres in order to justify the machinery that it takes. I asked him just the other day how much that new tractor cost and he said around a hundred thousand dollars. So, I mean, you've got to produce an awful lot to pay for the machinery and the trucks and tractors and harvesters that's involved in rotation. You need to rotate your crops, you know, and you have to have different machinery for different crops."
She taught in Vernal before she was married—phys. Ed and drams
I: Were she and her husband politically involved in ML?
J: Not much, except when son ran for Superior Judge. They campaigned by running around and hanging signs.
I: How have politics in ML changed with the dam?
J: They've improved a lot—better men and women running for office and serving—quality of the candidates has improved—more people to choose from.
I: Were there lots of migrant workers?
She used to go into town and pick up a whole load to come out and take care of the hand work.
J: "And by the way, the irrigating system has changed, oh my (chuckles). At first we had open ditches, and they'd be washing out because of the sand, you know, and then we got tubes from railroads—little rubber tubes, and we put them in the head ditches so they wouldn't flood out. And then after that we had open ditches but we used siphons, and the open ditches would flood out so we put concrete ditches in, to the head ditches, and then we used the siphons. And then we went from that to wheel moves, and we put in wheel moves, and they worked fine. And then we got in the overhead sprinklers, and the improvement of that is that there's the big arm that goes out to the corners and waters the corners. So I've seen all of that change, and it's wonderful, marvelous, and just thrills me to pieces to see all these new timesavers."
Highlights in LDS church history in ML—she said that participation was wonderful; she was associated with great talent and leadership in the dances, programs, camping trips.
I: How has the church changed?
J: People don't do as much as they used to—they did a lot more in the church.
I: Why, does she think? Funding? No time?
J: She says TV is the culprit—instead of making their own entertainment they watch TV. When did she first notice these changes? Last fifteen years or so—people now have their big satellite discs—attendance down as a result.
The church established as a branch when she came—now it is a stake.
J: "Boy, we sure had an experience. I've got pictures here of the fallout. We were at church, and we saw these big fluffy clouds rolling, and we went into church, we didn't know what they were, nobody had their radios on and nobody knew what they were, and we went into church, and we hadn't been there, oh, but an hour, when our bishop said, "we're going to close church and want you all to go home because those clouds are from the volcano, the ashes falling, and we want you to get home. The highway was closed off, you couldn't go on the highway, we had to go around by the factory and then the back road to get home. And we kept the windshield a-wiping and you couldn't see, and we wobbled all over the road, and we nearly ran into a car that was coming and we couldn't see it, and I'm telling you we just crept along at ten miles an hour trying to get home. It was really serious. And then three or four inches of that stuff all over everything—the next day my raspberries were flat on the ground it was so heavy they just flattened right on the ground. It covered, 'course, the gardens and the farm was all covered with it and it wouldn't go away!(laughs)."
I: Did it help your farming at all?
J: " They say after it's been worked in, but it ruined a lot of the farm. It was terrible. And if you used water on it it just solidified, so we had to just scrape it off of the house, and scrape it off of everything . . . it was early enough in the spring that [the crops] came out of it fairly good, but they were down for quite some time. They were young enough that it didn't effect them too greatly. You couldn't scrape it off—we tried to scrape it off—but where you going to scrape it? Oh dear, it was really . . . tracking it in, tracking it in (laughs) . . . ."
I: Did LAFB change the community?
J: Yes—it has been a great addition to the community—she is happy to see Japanese people mixed in with the community.
I: Does she and her family have many connections with Japanese people?
J: Yes—during church functions—she says that they are "very high class people."

A tractor trailer cut off a Ford truck in the left lane of Route 440 North in Jersey City this morning, forcing the second vehicle to swerve over the median into oncoming traffic and collide with a Jeep, according to a police accident report.
The 67-year-old Jersey City man driving the Ford truck told police he was forced to crash into the Jeep after the tractor trailer started crossing into his lane, which a witness at the scene corroborated, the report stated.
The report did not indicate whether anyone was injured and also did not indicate if police are searching for the tractor trailer that caused the accident.

Catching up with Kanekoa Texeira in Caribbean Series
January 30, 2014 - Robert Collias
Here is the start of a short story from sports editopr Brad Sherman that will be in Friday's paper:
Kanekoa Texeira of Kula is part of Puerto Rico's Indios de Mayaguez team that will play in the Caribbean Series, beginning Saturday in Margarita Island, Venezuela.
Texeira, who has played for the Kansas City Royals and Seattle Mariners in the major leagues, had a 0.69 ERA in 14 appearances, including one start, for Mayaguez during the Roberto Clemente League season. He did not have a decision. Texeira made three relief appearances in the league's championship series against Criollos de Caguas, allowing one run in three innings.
Texeira pitched for the Cincinnati Reds' Triple-A team, the Louisville Bats, in 2013, posting a 2.42 ERA with no decisions in 16 appearances, including two starts.
The Caribbean Series is for the champions of winter leagues in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.
Here is a look at the roster for Texeira's Puerto Rico team. Here is a must-look — and I mean MUST — at Big Tex's latest numbers. And, finally, here is where to keep up with all of the Caribbean Series action.

"This is one of the best books I've ever read for Odyssey Reviews."LaytonGreen Feb 26, 2011 4:32 AM
The Summoner by Layton Green
"Layton Green has written a tale with supernatural and political undertones that unravels with ever increasing suspense . . . The book is plain terrific."
— Richard Marek, former President and Publisher of E.P. Dutton
The Summoner
A United States diplomat disappears in front of hundreds of onlookers while attending a religious ceremony in the bushveld of Zimbabwe.
Dominic Grey, Diplomatic Security special agent, product of a violent childhood and a worn passport, is assigned to investigate. Aiding the investigation is Professor Viktor Radek, religious phenomenologist and expert on cults, and Nya Mashumba, the local government liaison.
What Grey uncovers is a terrifying cult older than Western civilization, the harsh underbelly of a country in despair, a priest seemingly able to perform impossibilities, and the identity of the newest target.
Himself . . .
" . . . Of all of the reviews I've done, I can count three or four books that are shining examples of independent publishing. The Summoner by Layton Green is one of those . . . this book is above and beyond in its narrative, its cohesiveness, the depth of its characters and the quality of the writing. This is one of the best books I've ever read for Odyssey Reviews."
— Odyssey Reviews (Winner of Odyssey Review'sAward of Indie Excellence)
"I moved a little outside my comfort zone with The Summoner, and I am glad I did. A blend of action, history, anthropology, thrills, and chills, all delivered with a mature, polished voice. I am eager for more from this author."
— Scott Nicholson, Bestselling Author
"Green writes like a dream. Dominic Grey is a fascinating protagonist, and his quest for justice in the heart of a troubled African city gripped me from start to finish. The Summoner also beautifully captures Zimbabwe's diverse and conflicting landscapes — both urban and rural, ancient and modern. The result is a fast-paced and searing narrative that offers a glimpse into a world of religion, politics, and culture few could imagine. The next installment of Green's suspenseful storytelling and Grey's next journey can't come soon enough!"
— Melody Moezzi, Award-winning Author, War on Error
"[C]alls to mind such series as Jason Bourne and Indiana Jones, with supernatural/religious overtones thrown in. I recommend The Summoner to anyone looking for a suspense-filled journey into a unique—and at times, terrifying—culture that'll keep you guessing."
— Bookhound's Den

Cheerful, Creative, Crocheter and Collector of all things Colorful describes me to a C--er, I mean a T. My sweet, left-handed granny taught me (a righty) to crochet when I was but a youngster. My first project was a hideously long scarf for my dad. It seems I just didn't know when to stop--something my teachers told me in school, too! Although crochet and other craftiness have always been part of my life, I channeled my energy and creativity into teaching Jr. High and High School sciences for many years.
When I am not "yarning" (as described by my youngest), I treasure time with my family, friends, running, thrift store shopping, and learning new creative skills.

Since this is a bar computer apparently accessible by zanykooks, while
you/we are working on the cardreader problem, we should also be sure to

What will I do on the job?
Following are descriptions of the most common occupations:
- Real estate brokers
- work with buyers to search for properties that are for sale and arrange showings. Once the right property is found, a real estate broker will prepare a sale agreement and negotiate other terms involved in the transaction. Real estate brokers work with sellers to establish an appropriate asking price and develop a marketing plan to attract buyers to the property.
- Real estate appraisers
- inspect properties, take measurements, and compile data from other comparable properties. An appraiser creates a written report that shows the appraiser's estimate of the current market value of the property.
- Property managers
- are responsible for managing property owned by others. Typical activities include collecting rents, coordinating repairs and maintenance, reviewing tenant applications and preparing monthly reports. Property managers need to be very familiar with Fair Housing Laws and Landlord-Tenant Laws.
- Loan officers
- help people obtain loans to buy real estate. Typical activities include assisting borrowers to select the appropriate type of loan, taking loan applications, ordering credit reports and appraisals, assembling income and expense information, and guiding borrowers throughout the process. Loan officers must stay abreast of changes in interest rates and be aware of new loan programs.
What skills will I use on the job?
Depending on the job, the skills needed will vary.
- Real estate brokers
- should have good communication skills and the ability to relate to a wide variety of prospective clients. Patience and persistence are also important qualities.
- Real estate appraisers
- use more analytical skills, working mostly with numbers, measurements, and routine mathematical calculations; the work is very detail-oriented.
- Property managers
- must be good working with people, coordinating a wide variety of activities and handling problems when they arise. Property managers must respond to tenants' needs while meeting the owner's financial expectations for the property.
- Loan officers
- must be good with people and use basic math skills. Officers must have the ability to monitor several files at once in busy settings.
How much can I earn?
Income varies greatly, depending on your career choice. Entry-level positions for salaried jobs start between $20,000 and $30,000 per year. With experience, salaries may exceed $50,000. If you are paid on a commission basis, the amount is totally dependent on your productivity. Some agents earn relatively little. Some earn more than $100,000 a year.
Who will hire me?
A variety of organizations hire people with real estate training: real estate brokerage firms, real estate appraisal firms, property management firms, real estate property development firms, banks, savings and loans, mortgage banking firms, insurance companies, county assessor's offices, companies owning real property, title companies and various state and federal agencies.

A Talk with Paula Kamen, author of All in My Head
Your book is about a headache that you've had, continuously, for over a
decade. How did it start?
Well, my Headache and I are actually celebrating our 15-year anniversary together soon. I think it's the paper anniversary, or the crystal one, I'm not sure.
I have what has been officially classified by doctors in the last decade as "chronic daily headache," or headache that happens at least 15 days/month for at least four hours at a time. (In past decades, this has been called a "mixed headache," meaning a mixture of migraine and tension headache.) Recent studies show that this afflicts 4 percent of the population. I am "lucky" to have the type that is CONSTANT, hitting about .5 percent (about the same number that have epilepsy) of the population. But since chronic headaches are mainly experienced by women of reproductive age, chronic daily headache is thought to happen to 10 percent of them.
When did it start?
I got my first real bad one in the spring of 1991 as I was putting in a contact lens, and the left one seemed to set off a mother of a headache in the left eye and behind it. I stopped wearing the lenses, but then the pain just started ...

Laymen who are unfamiliar with Africa are likely to think of the African native as a remarkably eligible candidate for skin disease from ainhum to yaws, from leprosy to the crazy pavement epithelium of kwashiorkor. Medical people no doubt labor under very much the same sort of impression adding perhaps syphilis and tuberculosis, as well as various diseases of parasites and fungi, the eczemas, pyodermas, and so on. In an extraordinarily thorough going but relatively short survey of the whole problem James Marshall has called on wide experience in Britain, France, and Africa to alter some of our illussions and correct our errors about skin diseases amongst the natives, those dwelling in cities and non-Africans who have come to live in Africa. It is evident from his studies that race as such has far less to do with dermatoses than one might have guessed; that environment, occupation, the state of

The area communities that provided the backdrop for the blockbuster movie, "The Shawshank Redemption," are to host a 20-year filming anniversary celebration Labor Day weekend.
Special events and tours of the locations where "Shawshank" was filmed are being offered in Upper Sandusky, Ashland and Mansfield. Slated Aug. 30-Sept. 1, events are open to the public and are to include the extras and crew who worked on the film.
Several of the film's stars are expected to attend, including Bob Gunton, who played the despicable Warden Norton.
"The magic of this movie has truly worked its power over people all around the globe. From Australia and Morocco to Canada, France and even Poland, people recognize me as the Shawshank warden," Gunton said. "They want to pay homage to this movie and they can do so in Mansfield, where the prison really was the star of the movie. For so many, it's a spiritual, if not a nearly religious, experience."
The Ohio State Reformatory is to offer tours beginning at 10 a.m. at a cost of $9 for adults and $7 for kids ages 7-17, seniors and members of the military. Audio tours are an additional $5 and parking is $2.
Wagon tours at Malabar Farm State Park to Pugh Cabin (opening scene in the film) and past the Shawshank oak tree are offered 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday for $2. Various self-guided tours also are to be offered.
At 7 p.m. Aug. 30, the Renaissance Theatre, which hosted the premier of "The Shawshank Redemption," is to offer a 7 p.m. showing of the film, replicating its 1994 premiere.
Tickets are $10 and available at www.mansfieldtickets.com/events/detail/277.
From 7-9 p.m. Aug. 31, the main event is a Shawshank Reunion cocktail reception in the Ohio State Reformatory central guard room. Guests can enjoy live music, hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar and special guided prison tours. Tickets are $40 and space is limited. Parking is $2.
Tickets can be purchased at www.mrps.org/events/
Complete details can be found online at
