Americans With Obama On Tax Hikes, Strategists Say
Public opinion is squarely with President Obama on imposing tax increases for the wealthy, as Republicans flail about on the issue, according to a new memo by two prominent Washington Democrats. Most Republicans continue to resist allowing tax rates to rise on the richest taxpayers as part of a deal to avert the so-called coming "fiscal cliff," even though Americans strongly back such a tax hike, according to polling presented as part of the memo released by famed Democratic strategist James Carville and pollster Stan Greenberg through their Democracy Corps organization. Almost two-thirds of voters want tax increases as part of any big bipartisan deal, and 40 percent believe that at least half of any deficit reduction should come from … Continue reading

We family members got to try out a Topsy Turvy Tomato planter. It is really easy to assemble and really easy to use. Well, except for this one little detail (no where on the packaging, instructions nor website do they tell you the height you should hang it from!) it was really easy to assemble and use.
So- this is SO easy to use. Really user friendly. Busy read the instructions although I think we could have flown by the seat of our pants and been ok. The little spongey thing that helps anchor the plant maybe would have thrown me off… ok, it would have for sure…

Guest Blog by Tracey Devlyn, author of A Lady's Revenge
Have you ever fallen in love with the wrong man? More specifically, your brother's best friend?
You've known him since you were a little girl. He's a constant in your household and joins forces with your older brother in tweaking your nose. He's pesky, obnoxious, and slightly more tolerant to having you tagalong than your sibling.
Then when you edge toward womanhood, your awareness of your childhood friend shifts, throwing you off-kilter in unexpected and terrifying ways. His eyes are more striking, his smile more sexy, and his bum…well, it exists now.
This is what happened to novice secret service agent Cora deBeau on the eve of her first mission to France. The summer before she set sail across the Channel, Guy Trevelyan, the soon-to-be Earl of Helsford, transformed from a brotherlike figure into a handsome and distracting man. When she started imagining all her days spent with Guy and her lifelong quest to avenge her parents' murders began to fade, that's when she knew it was time to flee, er, leave. Time and distance, that's all she needed to dispel Guy's hold on her.
For the next three years, she would catch a glimpse of an ebony-haired man or a whiff of spicy sandalwood and her memories of Guy would all come back. Then a storm of questions would flood her mind. Where was he? What was he doing? Did he ever think of her? Yearn for her with the same heart-twisting intensity she ached for him?
Not until she saw Guy's beloved face emerge from the shadows of Valère's dungeon did she truly understand that she could never, ever flee their love.
Excerpt from A Lady's Revenge
(Setup: The year is 1804, England. Cora and Guy just finished a Tai Chi session in a meadow near the woods. Up to this point, Cora has resisted touching Guy because of the atrocities she had endured in a French dungeon. This scene is a major turning point in their relationship.)
Guy grasped her hand and led her to a large, fallen tree. Atop the lichen-crusted trunk sat her red leather slippers. "Do you wear these so you can find them in the woods?"
She sat next to them, slanting him a cross look. "Noooo. I wear them because they make me happy." As you do. At that moment, she wished she had worn a pretty dress rather than her pai jamahs.
He knelt beside her and patted his knee, a request for her foot.
"I'm not so fragile, Guy. I can manage my own shoes."
"I know. Now give me your foot."
Reminiscent of his demand in the library, she knew he wouldn't budge until she complied. "Stubborn man." She extended her leg and couldn't help but smile when he dusted dirt and debris from her bare soles like a father would a recalcitrant child.
"We make a good pair."
Did they? She had always felt a connection to him. Something deeper than a mere friendship, something that had unfolded petal by fragile petal over the years.
A realization made all the more acute when her young girl's admiration had transformed into a woman's awakening. Her discernment of his masculine charms had gradually surfaced. She had noticed small things, like the magnificent length of his ebony eyelashes, the adorable dimple in his right cheek, and the fine hairs that peppered the backs of his hands.
She had felt awkward and guilty, especially once her focus shifted to admiring the breadth of his shoulders, the musculature of his thighs, and the beauty of his angular face. This was Guy, for goodness sake—practically her brother. Her thoughts had seemed immoral, wrong somehow, or at least that's how she had felt at the time.
Her preoccupation with her friend grew to a degree that had kept her insides in a quivering knot any time he drew near, and her normally easy quips would lodge in her throat with just one of his teasing winks.
When she began imagining all her days spent in his company and her lifelong quest to avenge her parents' murders began to fade, she started avoiding his company and eventually set off for France. She had hoped distance and the distraction of her mission would rid her of the unbearable longing he had stirred in her young heart.
She hoped in vain.
She stared down at his bent head. Sunlight sheened off his black hair, creating an illusion of moonlight dancing over dark waters. Long waves cradled his massive shoulders while he guided her foot into an awaiting red slipper. Without thought, she combed her fingers through his thick strands, taming their wild disarray, and wishing—no, longing—for the courage to bury her nose amidst all that luxury.
He stilled, as if fearing any movement would make her stop. He worried for naught. She loved feeling the silky texture of his midnight locks against her skin. Had dreamt of running her fingers through their length for days. Years.
He sat back on his heels and met her gaze, his internal struggle obvious. He, no doubt, wanted to give her some time to absorb the intimacy they had shared, but the demands of his body were at war with his strong mind. A situation she knew all too well.
In a near whisper, she said, "Turn around, if you please."
His gaze sharpened, fired hot like a glowing cauldron. But he said nothing, simply maneuvered his body around until he faced the opposite direction, spine erect, senses alert.
She glanced down at the leather thong still wrapped around her middle finger. Its worn appearance was a testament to the many hours spent taming his gorgeous mane. She clamped the tie between her teeth while her hands smoothed over his hair.
"'Tis beautiful."
He tilted his head back, his eyes closed. "Nonsense. Men don't have beautiful hair."
Leaning forward, she swept the tail she had created over her face, inhaling the faint scent of sandalwood mixed with the fresh country air. "You do."

In a daring rescue, beautiful and wily secret operative Cora deBeau is reunited with her childhood friend Guy Trevelyan, who wants so much more from her now than friendship…
But Cora's mission against the French has become personal, and even the fire between her and Guy won't deter her. When it comes to getting sweet, cruel revenge, nothing will stand in a lady's way…

Is it illegal to trade saved seeds?
Apparently in Pennsylvania it is. The PA Dept of Ag has sent a cease and desist to a seed saving library. This organization would let you "borrow" seeds, if you saved your seeds and returned them at the end of the season. PA says that's "selling" seeds without a license.
In early June, the Simpson Public Library in tiny Mechanicsburg—the population is just shy of 9,000—received a letter from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. It seems the library's seed-exchange program is in violation of the state's 2004 Seed Act, according to state agriculture officials who require all seed distributors to purchase a license, conduct germination tests on each seed distributed, and maintain copious records of each transaction. Their reasoning is that they want to prevent agroterrorism and the spread of invasive weeds.
Experts say the fallout at the Simpson Public Library is much more certain and immediate: the closure of the seed library altogether.
"Since the library is not able to provide testing services for seeds harvested by its library users, we will not be able to accept harvested seeds as we had originally planned," reads a message on the library's website.

Very good location and good size apartment with all the necessities for our party of 8 people. Quite a few restaurants nearby and a subway station just down the street. We had a problem with the radiators that wouldn't stop heating and one of them had a broken knob. We called the agency who were very nice and helpful and sent a man to fix it - it didn't help though... Also it was litterally painful to shower in the apartment because of the water temperature that was constantly changing between either ice cold or burning hot, and that caused us quite a bit of frustration during our stay.
Besides from that the apartment was very nice and clean and with plenty of towels and we enjoyed our stay!
The location of the apartment (Thompson Street/Houston Street) is very good, subway stations are quite nearby and there are lots of supermarkets, shops and restaurants in the neighborhood.
The flat is located on the 3rd floor which is not very convenient with luggage because there is no elevator; unfortunately it could have been cleaner.
It is a really nice apartment. Our stay there was perfect. It has room enough for 4 people and it´s very clean and comfortable. In addition, it is located in the center of Manhattan, close to the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Times Square and many other interesting places to visit. I loved it!
This apartment is very compact and 4 flight up (no lift). The beds and pillows are not comfortable and need to be replaced. The hot water supply to the shower is irregular and in winter having cold showers is not pleasant. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone with children or over the age of 50. The location is excellent but it does not offset the negatives.
Due to a maintenane problem with our reservation in Manhattan at apartment ref: 8329 we were transferred to another 1 bedroom apartment ref 8360 on W 45th street. The location was brilliant just off 5th avenue and the view from the apartment was amazing. We were absolutely delighted with the facilites at the CASA residence and the staff on the reception desk could not have been more helpful. We would not hesitate to book this property again on our next visit to New York and would hightly recommend it to anyone wishing to take a break to this amazing city. Mr & Mrs Ruddy (UK)
The location is excellent. In a quieter area but still very close to the hustle and bustle. The subway is just a few minutes walk. Central Park and MoMA are a short walk.
Apartment is decent size for the price. Having two bedrooms separate from living room is nice.
One downside is street noise b/c it is ground level, but we knew that going into it. Just bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
The only bad thing is we discovered our last night that there were cockroaches in the kitchen.... not sure if this apartment is sprayed regularly.
Fantastic Apartment. Just what was required for our week in New York. Very clean and spacious and in a great part of the city.
Warning to everyone interested in this appartment! We whare really disappointed when one day before arrival, and I have had personally contact with David that all was ok according to arrival, we got info to change appartment 17 hours before arriving to NY. Payment was done, in good time. We got a replacement app, bot not in the same quality acc to pictures.:-(
The apartment was centrally located as promised and seemed to have enjoyed a cosmetic overhaul relatively recently.
The outside of the building and inside communal parts were not to the same standard as the apartment which was a bit of a let down.
The apartment itself was clean-except the windows - but noisy due to absence of adequate double glazing which is essential as it almost directly sits at a busy cross street.
We had a nice stay in that appartment. The location is pretty central and you can reach everything by feet. The appartment itself is small, nice and cozy The only thing we didn't like, was the very noisy first avenue, that seemed to run directly through the bedroom at night. We would book that appartment again.

The athletes attended tryouts and were selected for the team.
"Tyler, who was a center fielder and lead off hitter, had a lot of speed and a good arm," Coach Bryan Edwards said. "While Cole came in midway through the season, he still did a great job as a relief pitcher."
Edwards noted he was pleased with both athletes' performances and their growth in the sport.
In addition to teaching the fundamentals of baseball, THZ helps the athletes with mental preparedness.
The team played in a total of seven tournaments during the season and ended on a good note, winning all four games at its last tournament.

Ray Cleveland forced two fumbles in the loss but Dordt was done in partly by four interceptions.

The 50 best war movies of all time
Our critics pick out and rank the 50 best war movies ever, from patriotic classics to military epics
We slogged through our own basic training to arrive at the 50 best war movies—and not merely the best action movies with the wildest explosions and movie stunts (though expect plenty of ammo). Rather, here are the most profound statements, pointed and patriotic alike, on the distinctly human condition of fighting. We offer the list to you, our readers, along with our sharpest salute. Why not put on your war face and sound off, in the comments section below?
RECOMMENDED: Our list of the 100 best movies of all time
Best war movies: 50–41
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
A WWII film, yes, but utterly Tarantino in every sense, from its constant gabbing, shifting allegiances and sudden shocks of violence. At its heart isn't some scrappy U.S. private, but Nazi colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz in an Oscar-winning, instantly iconic performance), whose slippery charm as the "Jew Hunter" made him a character we loved to hate.—Joshua Rothkopf
Watch Inglourious Basterds on Amazon Instant VideoRead more
Ride with the Devil (1999)
You wouldn't expect anything less complex from director Ang Lee (The Ice Storm, Brokeback Mountain), whose oblique take on the Civil War—specifically guerrilla fighting in Missouri—thrilled critics and mystified crowds. A pre-Spidey Tobey Maguire anchors the movie in sympathy, while Jeffrey Wright electrifies as a liberated slave.—Joshua Rothkopf
Watch Ride With the Devil on Amazon Instant VideoRead more
Twelve O'Clock High (1949)
Gregory Peck had already arrived as a magnetic onscreen presence by the time this minutely detailed WWII Air Force drama gave him his most ambitious role to date, as a stern disciplinarian whose leadership transforms a bomber unit into a well-oiled machine. The ultimate praise: The movie was required viewing at military-service academies for decades—Joshua Rothkopf
Watch Twelve O'Clock High on Amazon Instant VideoRead more
Hell in the Pacific (1968)
Two soldiers—one American, the other Japanese—are marooned on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean during the height of WWII and must work together to survive. Director John Boorman crafts a potent existential parable out of their plight (Jean-Paul Sartre would be proud) while also allowing the great Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune to rage with crowd-pleasing gusto.—Keith Uhlich

American Sniper (2014)
A slow-building and unlikely blockbuster (the biggest film of 84-year-old director Clint Eastwood's career), this electrifying PTSD war drama became a political football for its questionable handling of the real-life Chris Kyle. But between a nervy performance by Bradley Cooper and some daring ambiguities on the matter of valor, you have a movie that only Eastwood, no simple conservative, could make.—Joshua Rothkopf
Watch American Sniper on Amazon Instant VideoRead more
Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)
Was there another actor more comfortable in the role of a swaggering soldier than John Wayne? This is not a tortured, ethically conflicted fighter, but a heroic one, thrust into battle and—you know what, pilgrim?—kind of okay with that. The title alone clues you into the jingoism on display in this re-creation of the famous Allied victory, but the film is undeniably gripping as craft, and sincere in its patriotism.—Joshua Rothkopf
Buy Sands of Iwo Jima on AmazonRead more
Ballad of a Soldier (1959)
A delicate Russian-made tribute to that nation's staggering sacrifice during WWII, Grigori Chukhrai's drama concerns a teenage infantryman's journey back home for a six-day break, a reward for taking out two German tanks. He marvels at the rape of the land—and also connects with a beautiful girl. It's a film about the value of the fight.—Joshua Rothkopf
Buy Ballad of a Soldier on AmazonRead more
The Red Badge of Courage (1951)
The verdict is still out what could have been the full edit of this Civil War picture, which was drastically cut to under 70 minutes after poor test screenings. Given the talent of the director—John Huston, whose next film was The African Queen—we're inclined to believe he was onto something special with Stephen Crane's classic. Enough of Huston's noirish vision remains.—Joshua Rothkopf
Watch The Red Badge of Courage on Amazon Instant VideoRead more
The Great Escape (1963)
Made at the peak of Hollywood's studio system and a flawless example of robust mainstream entertainment, John Sturgess's protoblockbuster turned Steve McQueen into a marquee idol—he gobbles up the lens even before he jumps the barbed-wire fence of his WWII POW camp on a motorcycle. Amazingly, the story is a real-life one.—Joshua Rothkopf
Watch The Great Escape on Amazon Instant VideoRead more
The Sun (2005)
In a metaphorical sense, that sun is setting: Japan's Emperor Hirohito (Issei Ogata, bearing a cosmic weight of shame) sees his country ravaged by atomic bombs at the end of WWII. Alone in his thoughts, he is approached by General Douglas MacArthur to negotiate a surrender. Alexander Sokurov's fascinating drama approaches war from the top down, with an emphasis on power in decline.—Joshua Rothkopf

Best war movies: 40–31
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)
To audience members in love with the sea, this movie, taken from three of Patrick O'Brian's popular Napoleonic War novels, will rank much higher. At its heart is the Kirk-Spock relationship between Russell Crowe's fearless captain and Paul Bettany's thoughtful doctor. The naval battles are an action fan's wet dream.—Joshua Rothkopf
Watch Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World on Amazon Instant Video
Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
Taking Tom Cruise seriously has always been a dicey proposition. But you can't fault him for this open-throated effort, portraying real-life Vietnam vet Ron Kovic, who returned home to Long Island paralyzed from the chest down yet unencumbered mentally and ready to rage. Only three years after Top Gun, here was a real actor.—Joshua Rothkopf
Forbidden Games (1952)
This French heartbreaker popularized a storyline that would appear forever in war films: the strength of children to find a way through the muck. An orphaned five-year-old girl is befriended by a boy who helps her bury her dog. They tend to other dead animals in their small, makeshift cemetery, a poetic image that still wrecks.—Joshua Rothkopf
Air Force (1943)
A master of all genres, Howard Hawks tried his hand at everything from screwball zaniness (Bringing Up Baby) to alien terror (ghost-directing The Thing from Another World). When he made his war picture, he embraced the patriotism of the moment, but brought along William Faulkner to pen a killer deathbed speech.—Joshua Rothkopf
Ivan's Childhood (1962)
Fighting would become an insistent (if subtle) theme in the work of Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, the Soviet-era giant who opened the world to his nation's more ambitious cinema in the '60s and '70s. But even though his other movies have become more popular (e.g., Solaris), it's this one, his breakthrough, that remains his most emotional. It's about a boy who becomes an army spy and loses his soul.—Joshua Rothkopf
Battleground (1949)
If war movies have become sophisticated, critical responses to the illusion of the gung-ho supersoldier, we have this Hollywood drama to thank. Taking WWII's pivotal Battle of the Bulge as its subject, director William Wellman's chronicle found room for then-bold notes of uncertainty and fear—even a hint of desertion.—Joshua Rothkopf
Platoon (1986)
Much of the cult of Oliver Stone rests upon this film, an impassioned and corrective countermyth to the official version of the Vietnam War. Released at a moment when America was finally ready to reexamine its involvement, Stone's grimy drama—marked by complex motivations among the troops—wrung an emotional catharsis from Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings."—Joshua Rothkopf
Kanal (1957)
No proper war-movie list would be complete without an entry from the revered Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda, who produced a masterful trilogy that included A Generation (1955) and Ashes and Diamonds (1958), along with this Cannes prize-winner. It's the first film to (brutally) portray the sewer-based Warsaw Uprising against the the Nazis.—Joshua Rothkopf
Patton (1970)
Famously, this was Richard Nixon's favorite film, a potent counterbalance to the voices of the protesters and a manly peptalk of righteousness. (It wasn't enough to help the President with his problems.) George C. Scott is magnificent in the title role, railing iconically against "Hun bastards" in his opening monologue before a huge American flag.—Joshua Rothkopf
Attack (1956)
"Not every gun is pointed at the enemy!" read a title card in the trailer, and there was truth in advertising: Robert Aldrich's WWII psychodrama concerns the breakdown of order between a captain losing his nerve (Eddie Albert) and a mouthy lieutenant (Jack Palance) rising to the occasion. The military refused to cooperate with the production, yet the low-budget filmmakers prevailed.—Joshua Rothkopf
Best war movies: 30–21
Black Book (2006)
Pervy Dutch director Paul Verhoeven is better known for Basic Instinct and Showgirls, but war movies are his true métier. In this deliciously plotted WWII survival tale (a comeback of sorts for the Hollywood exile), a hotcha Jewish singer becomes a spy, a freedom fighter and a bed partner of Nazis. Talented Carice van Houten commits fully.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Dirty Dozen (1967)
It's become one of the most beloved "dad movies" of all time—but maybe Father knows best. The murderous "dozen," conscripted for a suicide mission on the eve of D-Day, includes a shifty-eyed psychopath (John Cassavetes), a religious fanatic and woman-beater (Telly Savalas), and a slow-witted "General" (Donald Sutherland). They get the job done.—Joshua Rothkopf
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983)
The dearly departed David Bowie plays a WWII prisoner of war in a Japanese army camp in this intriguing, homoerotic drama. (His costar is Ryuichi Sakamoto, who composed the film's atmospheric score.) Of all of Bowie's distinctive performances, this one is his most mythical—almost Christlike in its serenity and hope. There was a great actor here, one who could have gone further if he chose to.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
People know it better these days from the gang's demoralized whistling in The Breakfast Club—that's the "Colonel Bogey March," originally used as WWII soldiers trudged their way into their POW camp. The movie has a bit of stuffiness to it: It's a big prestige picture that won a lot of Oscars. But there's no denying that when that bridge finally goes kaboom, we've seen one of cinema's greatest action scenes.—Joshua Rothkopf
Germany Year Zero (1948)
In the spirit of war photography itself, Roberto Rossellini focused on the ravaged aftermath of a city's destruction (here, actual locations in Berlin). Thus we have one of the purest records of the violence of World War II, an invaluable time capsule as well as a neorealist landmark.—Joshua Rothkopf
Gallipoli (1981)
Peter Weir's tragic, superbly mounted tale of two professional sprinters who join the Australian army circa WWI sheds some light on the casualty-heavy Turkish campaign. Weir's facility with action scenes is fully evident, especially during the gut-wrenching climactic battle. The film also helped to put a young actor named Mel Gibson on the international stage.—Keith Uhlich
The Deer Hunter (1978)
Based on its most notorious scenes—games of Russian roulette, one of them with vicious Vietcong captors—this actorcentric POW movie (featuring an unhinged Christopher Walken) earns its place on our list. The metaphor is a provocative one: Many saw holding a loaded gun to one's head as an obvious parallel to the United States' entrance into the war itself.—Joshua Rothkopf
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
A pacifistic masterpiece that showed the horrors of WWI trench warfare to a curious if unprepared audience, this epic (based on Erich Maria Remarque's popular novel) also positioned the genre of the combat film as a Hollywood mark of pride: It was one of the first movies to earn a Best Picture Oscar.—Joshua Rothkopf
Watch All Quiet on the Western Front on Amazon Instant Video
Three Kings (1999)
Production was reportedly hellish, with director David O. Russell and star George Clooney coming to physical blows. (Guys, it's a war movie.) But the ultimate payoff was rare: a combat film that achieved political profundity via off-the-wall comedy. Call it the lure of Saddam's gold.—Joshua Rothkopf
Paisan (1946)
Italy's Neorealist genius Roberto Rossellini made a trio of essential WWII movies—this one falls in between Rome, Open City (1945) and Germany Year Zero (1948) and is undoubtedly the best of the bunch. It's made up of six vignettes featuring soldiers, street urchins, prostitutes and priests. The total takeaway is aching humanity, even in the face of massive destruction and chaos.—Joshua Rothkopf
Best war movies: 20–11
Duck, You Sucker! (1971)
Also known as A Fistful of Dynamite, this lesser-seen Sergio Leone action film uses the gory Mexican Revolution as its setting. But frankly speaking, it really takes place in "Leone-land"—that mythical place where Rod Steiger can play a swarthy bandito, Spanish deserts can stand in for anywhere, and composer Ennio Morricone can transport viewers to Irish meadows with his loveliest of scores.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Big Red One (1980)
Director Sam Fuller's earthy WWII picture, starring Lee Marvin at the end of his likable career, might have lost the battle at the box office, but it's won the war of reputation: A 2004 reconstruction added nearly 50 minutes of excised material, including many off-kilter yet vivid scenes from veteran Fuller's own recollections of the battlefield.—Joshua Rothkopf
Men in War (1957)
The director, Anthony Mann, was best known for his Westerns that pinned heroes in uncomfortable, craggy environments. When he tried his hand at a combat film (this was his first), he set the action in a Korean no-man's land where an American platoon led by Robert Ryan finds itself stranded. The result was an uncommonly tough movie for the Ike era.—Joshua Rothkopf
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Steven Spielberg's WWII drama weds an intimate story to the sweep of history—and even if you didn't care for the fortunes of one lucky soldier, you couldn't avoid being floored by the movie's epic mounting of the 1944 Omaha Beach landing. Spattered with gore and mud (and running a harrowing 27 minutes), the sequence has no equal on this list, or anywhere else—Joshua Rothkopf
Casualties of War (1989)
Brian De Palma has always struggled with his reputation. Sometimes he's willfully made things worse by being extra salacious in movies like Body Double, Femme Fatale and Scarface. But with this horrific Vietnam War drama—about an American squad gone rogue and dipping into sex slavery—he was really swinging for the fences. Michael J. Fox does superb work, grappling with situational ethics.—Joshua Rothkopf
Das Boot (1981)
If, as many have said, warfare is a state of mind (as well as a geostrategic one), no film captures that interiority with such pressure-filled flair as this one. Set hundreds of feet below the ocean in a seeping, clanking U-boat, Wolfgang Peterson's international smash almost made you forget its heroes were German.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Thin Red Line (1998)
Terrence Malick's return to filmmaking after 20 years of reclusive silence was met with a rapturous response—and the movie truly deserves it. You don't get the brilliant action sequences of most war pictures. Rather, here are soldiers in WWII's Pacific theater, touched by their own brutality, pondering in voiceover on the natural world, and wondering when they'll be back home.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Steel Helmet (1951)
To make a war movie at the same time when the real-life war is still in progress—and not just a propaganda piece—takes enormous courage. Fortunately for viewers of this Korea War drama (about a group of bickering soldiers holed up in a Buddhist temple), its writer-director was Samuel Fuller, himself a combat veteran. Hollywood must have seemed like a cakewalk after getting shot at.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Hurt Locker (2008)
Between this film and director Kathryn Bigelow's follow-up, Zero Dark Thirty, we have the two finest modern-day studies of what it means to fight in today's confusing war against terrorism. The slightest edge goes to The Hurt Locker, which dives deeply into the process of Iraq-based bomb defusing and the personal detachment that can result from putting oneself in harm's way on an hourly basis.—Joshua Rothkopf
Empire of the Sun (1987)
These days, Christian Bale is as huge as it gets: multiple Oscar nominations (and a win for The Fighter), the Batsuit, etc. But when he debuted as a 12-year-old in Steven Spielberg's surreal WWII Shanghai drama—beating out 4,000 other kids for the role—all the talent was there. His character, Jim, is obsessed with war planes and sees his internment camp as a playground. Still he's not above fear, and, by film's end, he's lost his innocence.—Joshua Rothkopf
Best war movies: 10–1
They Were Expendable (1945)
The kind of film that can force you to revise your idea of whole careers—even decades of work—this assiduous, unshowy portrait of the fighting men of the Philippines builds a quiet impact out of small, keenly observed moments. Our heroes, mainly John Wayne's junior-grade lieutenant, wind away the small hours in Manila, waiting for an assignment to the fight. They don't realize, of course, that these are the good times; when news comes of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the tone shifts to one of a stoic ode to workmanlike sacrifice. Director John Ford, normally a sentimentalist behind the camera, reigns in his impulses, while Wayne (still closer to dewy at this point) shows depths that hadn't been tapped.—Joshua Rothkopf
Robert Altman's classic comedy comes sugarcoated in associations: with the TV show, with that especially cloying laugh track, with Alan Alda. But to consider how truly provocative the movie was, you only have to compare it with the elephantine war drama playing across town during those same winter weeks in 1970: Patton is about a misunderstood genius of carnage—and the vindication of the asshole-in-charge (i.e., then-President Nixon). MASH has no battle scenes whatsoever. It does end in a climactic, zany football game. Amazingly, both movies came from the same studio, 20th Century Fox. But by throwing out Ring Lardner Jr.'s conventional script and inspiring his ensemble to play, Altman devised an entirely new on-set process that would change American satire forever. It's the first real film of the 1970s.—Joshua Rothkopf
Sergeant York (1941)
No truly great war film will ever strike a tone of total conviction; that's the realm of imperialist propaganda. Howard Hawks's massively popular drama (released only months before America's entrance into WWII) takes the exact opposite tack: It's the story of real-life First World War soldier Alvin York, a Tennessee simpleton who hoped to avoid enlistment on the sincere grounds of his religiosity and pacifism. His request denied, York proves himself on the battlefield as a singularly talented sharpshooter and wrestles with the killing gift God has given him. Gary Cooper's tortured performance won him an Oscar and continues to inspire a conversation about situational ethics.—Joshua Rothkopf
Come and See (1985)
It's likely you'll want to avert your eyes during Russian director Elem Klimov's terrifying WWII epic about the Nazi occupation of Belarus. Yet it weaves a mesmerizing spell, from the opening image of two children digging in a field for abandoned rifles. One of those boys is taken from his home by partisans to fight the Germans. It's the start of a nine-circles-of-hell odyssey that culminates with a dreamlike encounter with the ultimate persecutor. But before that finale, we're subjected to a staggering succession of atrocities (ear-shattering explosions, corpses piled high, a village systematically destroyed) that would be unbearable were it not for the film's entrancing, near-surreal aesthetic.—Joshua Rothkopf
Army of Shadows (1969)
Rediscovered in 2006 with the fanfare usually reserved for unearthing a lost classic (which was pretty much the case), Jean-Pierre Melville's cool-blue portrait of French Resistance fighters makes a beautiful case for honor among wanted men. Back-room beatings and drive-by shootings spark a mostly conversational film about the sacrifice of spies. Melville's reputation had previously rested on chilly, remote gangster pictures like Le Samoura (1967), but to see his canvas widened to national politics was a revelation. And the reason the movie had been ignored in the first place? Fashionable French critics had dismissed it as too pro-De Gaulle. What comes around...—Joshua Rothkopf
Starship Troopers (1997)
Stop snickering: There's a real reason why this sci-fi actioner is so high on our list. Never before (and probably never again) had the monied apparatus of Hollywood been so co-opted to make a subversive comment about its own fascist impulses. Director Paul Verhoeven cackled all the way to the box office as giant bugs were exterminated by gorgeous, empty-headed bimbos; when Neil Patrick Harris showed up near the end of the movie in a full-length Nazi trench coat, the in-joke was practically outed. Source novelist Robert Heinlein meant his militaristic tale sincerely; meanwhile, the blithe destruction of humankind on display here could only be intended as a sharp critique, both of soldiering and of popular tastes. Return to it with fresh eyes.—Joshua Rothkopf
Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Stanley Kubrick's unnerving contribution to Vietnam war movies will gouge out your eyes and skull-fuck you (to quote a line). The first half of this opus, set at the Marines' Parris Island training facility, is widely lauded: Drill instructor R. Lee Ermey spouts every imaginable expletive (plus some new ones) while putting a group of new recruits through their paces. Yet the less-discussed second half—which follows Matthew Modine's Pvt. "Joker" and his fellow soldiers through the Tet Offensive—is a necessary complement. This is where we see the end result of turning men into killing machines, and it's like gazing into the abyss.—Keith Uhlich
Grand Illusion (1937)
Jean Renoir, the great humanist of cinema, cowrote and directed this superlative WWI story about two French aviators who are captured by a German captain (Erich von Stroheim, perfectly cast as a mannerly despot) and shuttled between prisons. The duo plans a great escape, but this isn't a simple tale of heroes and villains. Class conflict is prevalent: One of our heroes is an aristocrat and easily befriends his warden. The other, meanwhile, is a rough-hewn everyguy—a charismatic ranter against the system. Yet Renoir places no one character above another. Indeed, the film is sympathetic to all perspectives, even as it sagely questions how these combative circumstances came about. For its pointed generousness, the movie was awarded numerous prizes and earned the ire of Joseph Goebbels who declared it "Cinematic Public Enemy No. 1."—Keith Uhlich
Apocalypse Now (1979)
The battles behind Francis Ford Coppola's surreal war movie are well-documented: the nightmarish, multiyear shoot; star Martin Sheen's heart attack and recovery; a cackling press corps that sharpened its knives for a turkey of epic proportions. Coppola would have the last laugh. So much of the vocabulary of the modern-day war picture comes from this movie, an operatic Vietnam-set tragedy shaped out of whirring helicopter blades, Wagnerian explosions, purple haze and Joseph Conrad's colonialist fantasia Heart of Darkness. Fans of the Godfather director, so pivotal to the 1970s, know this to be his last fully realized work; connoisseurs of the war movie see it (correctly) as his second all-out masterpiece.—Joshua Rothkopf
Paths of Glory (1957)
And so we've reached the top of the top, the ultimate statement on man's inhumanity to man. Is it any surprise that it comes from Stanley Kubrick? So much of the director's filmography was devoted to depicting military folly (and believe us, we toyed with including Barry Lyndon, too). Elevating Paths of Glory above the fray—and above every other title—was not its brutal scenes of WWI trench warfare but its scalpel-scarp indictment of the pride that comes with battle. Kirk Douglas's lawyer-colonel is tasked with mounting a courtroom defense of three innocent soldiers who just happened to be part of a losing skirmish. Based on a real-life episode of French soldiers executed for "cowardice," Kubrick's movie so angered France's government that it couldn't be screened publicly there until 1975. The film's lesson is universal and timeless, though: If warfare turns us into monsters even off the battlefield, then we have no purpose waging it.—Joshua Rothkopf
I remember watching the movie. The Great Escape.. it was my father's favorite war movie.
Glory, Paths of Glory, Wings, Zulu (not necessarily in that order)
Larisa Shepitko's 'The Ascent' , Mario Monicelli's 'La Grande Guerra' and Mikhail Kalatozov's 'The Cranes are flying' are shocking omissions. Also Come and See should be no. 1 for me. Many other Non-US films are missing though that's obvious.
What about Pearl Harbor? So much went into that movie and it had a great plot, drama, action, music, and the acting was phenomenal. Even the short lines by people in the big action scene made you feel how they wanted you to. Like one sailor trapped in the ship saying "I dont wanna die, I dont wanna die" over and over, or the cries from the sailors were just amazing. Definitely deserves to be on this list for sure.
There are a few blunders like Starship troopers which everyone seems to agree is a shocking inclusion but overall it is a good compilation. For lots of folks who do not see their favorites on here, this list consciously seems to avoid propaganda movies. Kirk Douglas' Paths of Glory is an absolute gem. Also happy to see Gallipoli on the list.
Nice list, but where is Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War?
I agree about We Were Soldiers (Once and Young)........or what about the Lost Battalion (Ricky Schroeder)? Agree Hamburger Hill and also what about In Harm's Way (John Wayne) and even Thin Red LIne? Or even the Iron Cross?
Do not Forget We Are Soliders Once and Young
Hamburger Hill, Das Boot, Full Metal Jacket, Fury,
you guys missed boys in company c
This list is too long and missing some greats. I think these are the 10 Best War Movies Ever Made
Where are "Glory" and "We We're Soldiers"? Come to think of it....where is "The Enemy Below". But "Duck, you sucker" and "Starship Troopers" are on the list? Really? Whatever.
THE STORY BEHIND GUNNERY SERGEANT HARTMAN'S SPEECH FROM FULL METAL JACKEThttps://contentforyoublog.wordpress.com/2014/06/13/the-story-behind-gunnery-sergeant-hartmans-speech-from-full-metal-jacket/
What about The Human Condition trilogy.
Is Forbidden games really a war movie?
Caine Mutiny SHOULD be on there, as well as 30 Seconds Over Tokyo.
Kids shouldn't post.... Starship Troopers and Glory???? Why did the kids miss Ice Station Zebra if they want garbage?
I don't like this list. Here's what I think are the 10 Best War Movies Ever Made
What! No 'Stalingrad'!? Easily in the "Top 50 War Movies", Top 10 even.
'The Brest Fortress' is also a war movie which clearly should be ranked somewhere in the "Top 50". It isn't (IMO) as good as the film 'Stalingrad', but it is a top war film and easily better then quite a number of the films listed in this "Top 50 War Movies".
50 is too many for me. Here are the 10 Best War Movies Ever Made
Das Boot (Directors cut, in German with English Subtitles)
There is this film - and then there is daylight to all others.
As author Quintus Curtius noted:
..."It is without doubt the greatest film of naval combat ever made, and belongs on that very short list of the greatest war films ever made. The heroism and fortitude displayed made me ponder what I had seen for days afterwards, as I am wont to do after any emotionally engaging experience."
@Jonathan D You are right. I am 75 yrs old, lived in the UK as a kid, and can remember the air raids. My bed was a bunk salvaged from a German submarine in Stockton on Tees. Das Boot is the best war film I ever saw, by a long shot. I have a copy and watch it periodically,
Modern Soldiers (I can't speak for Marines) should recognize Starship Troopers' place on this list to be highly accurate--and by modern I mean the same are sufficiently self-aware to view Catch-22 and the Thin Red Line as odes to our lives (as opposed to any recent war-commentary bull).
The funny thing is that I would rate it in the top 10 of most authentic/accurate/telling/prescient military books, but for almost entirely different reasons than the movie. I'd recommend some re-examination of both, though I would be surprised if a civilian would be able to find the nuances outside of any analogous corporate/govt concepts.
Interesting list but as with others must question some of the exclusions...but isn't that the thing with lists like this.
Blue Max, Guns of Navarone, Lawrence of Arabia (so surprised this is excluded!), Glory, Zulu, The Lost Battalion
I certainly disagree with Starship Troopers being anywhere near this list!
I have always considered "Paths of Glory" to be Kubrick's REAL masterpiece, but still would put "All Quiet on the Western Front" at number one in this list. Also "For Whom the Bell Tolls" belongs in the list as well. Glad too, to see, "They Were Expendable" near the top. "Run Silent, Run Deep" also belongs.
"Sergeant York" would have been on the list, but near the bottom, for me.
David Fear, Joshua Rothkopf and Keith Uhlich: congratulations! This is officially the #1 Worst Movie List Ever Made!
If we include the series, I'd have MASH ranked #1.
The Duellists is a 1977 historical drama film and the directorial debut of Ridley Scott. It won the Best Debut Film award at the1977 Cannes Film Festival.Harvey Keitel,Keith Carradine.This is a must see.
You miss the war movie above all: Die Brücke (The bridge) - a German war movie from 1959: West German film directed by Austrian filmmaker Bernhard Wicki
great List, would have included the german made movie "Stalingrad" though
This list and the facts and descriptions about each movie are both so great, I'm excited to re-watch a bunch of these now knowing all the lore and defining factors i didn't know. Thanks guys!
Since they included Gallipoli they should have included Joyeau Noel...they usually play it on cable during the holidays. It's in French, German and English and features the lovely Diane Kruger in a small role. See it.
There was a WWII movie that I can't remember the name but it was about the Germans building a fake American military hospital complex and then capturing an American intelligence officer, making him believe the war had been over for several years and he had been in a coma. They tried to get him to talk about the American invasion plan but after a few days he realized that the cut on his finger was from a paper cut he had gotten in his office previously and then knew he was being fooled.
Does anyone remember the name?
@Paul C 36 Hours, Staring James Garner. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057809/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
I would add U-571 and Black Hawk Down to this list and Saving Private Ryan should definitely be in the top 5.
Breaker Morant, The Odd Angry Shot...the list goes on. And somehow Starship Troopers comes in at number 5? I was enjoying this list up until that point.
Oh come on Starship Troopers? Battle of the Bulge, MacArthur, Hamburgel Hill, From Here to Eternity, The lost Platoon. LMFAO.
The Blue Max, greatest aviation war movie!!!
Starship Troopers?!? Is this a fucking joke? Where is Guns of Navarone and Hamburger Hill?
i think "Saving Private Ryan" no 1
and where "Black Hawk Down" ?
now "Lone Survivor" appropriate in to list :D
Really, Starship Troopers? Why not just throw Tropic Thunder on the list. Patton & Platoon don't even break below 30. What about From Here to Eternity, In Harm's Way, Tora Tora Tora, To Hell and Back. Sure they from an older generation of movies many of the actors and crew actually served in the military.
Stalag 17 was better then about 45 of those movies.
Missing movies ----- The Enemy Below
Captain Horatio Hornblower
Sink the Bismarck
Courage Under Fire
This is a terrible list.
Platoon (1986) should be atleast in the top 20.
Johnny got his gun (1971)
This is ridiculous. Saving Private Ryan not top 10? WHAT??!! Where is Glory in the top 10 as well? No Hamburger Hill?
What about Glory??????????????? Glory is the best war movie by far! Come on!
@Mike Crowner Glory was a great movie,but Paths of Glory is the best War Movie ever,however he missed several great movies

My name is Andrew Broder. I am from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have a project called Fog which is on Ninja Tune (and Lex Records). I have made music my entire life, it is the only thing which I really feel that I am really good at. I play turntables, piano, guitar, words, drums, drum machines, knobs, bells, whistles, bass, trumpet, kitchen sink, chopsticks, feather duster, chewing gum not all necessarily well or in that order of preference. My music is often autobiographical but hopefully universal. Personal, but hopefully not too self-centered. My favorite color is red, though these days I have come to appreciate the equal importance of blue and its role in my life. I am a Leo, so I guess this means I need lots of attention and praise but I am also very loving and loyal. You could say, however, that I am still "on the fence" as it were on the subject of astrology. When Fog plays live, I have an outstanding band that is my primary musical inspiration. They are: Mark Erickson, Jeremy Ylvisaker, Martin Dosh and Mike Lewis. I am 24 years old. I have a girlfriend named Julie who owns a record store, and I use records that I get there to make music with. I am in love with her. I have friends called Anticon, they are from Oakland and they inspire me in life and in art. I enjoy the music of Anticon, Albert Ayler, Idaho, Charles Mingus, Eric B and Rakim, Stars of the Lid, Scientist, Centipede, Claude Debussy and many others. I enjoy music. I enjoy coffee, though I think I gotta cut down on that shit. Lots of times I am embarrassed to be an American. These days I try to see music as not only a means of escape, but also a means of communication, both overt and psychic. I try to push boundaries without letting that make me cynical.
That's all I got for now.

I have to admit I LMAOed when D-Rose turned the ball over with the Bulls' first possession.
Lakers played some typical Pringles ball, nobody gave a damn about defense and they shot a ****load of threes. Still amazing they actually won.
3 Games on the bill tonight...
Magic vs Pacers
Bulls vs Heat
Clippers vs Lakers
Paul George is continuing where he left off, which is the 3rd best small forward in the NBA. I felt he proved this last year, actually very early. Man this guy is going to be special. Pacers are really deep and well coached.
Orlando has lots of good young talent if they can get 1 more key piece in the draft they are going to be a major problem by next year.
Unless Derrick Rose starts playing more like a point guard instead of a two guard The Bulls won't be able to get past the hump.
As fas as the East and West breakdown...I'm going with
Eastern Conference
1. Pacers
2. Nets
3. Heat
4. Bulls
5. Cavs
6. Knicks
7. Pistons
8. Bucks
Western Conference
1. Spurs
2. Rockets
3. Clippers
5. Warriors
6. Nuggets
7. Grizzlies
8. Pelicans
I have to admit I LMAOed when D-Rose turned the ball over with the Bulls' first possession.
Lakers played some typical Pringles ball, nobody gave a damn about defense and they shot a ****load of threes. Still amazing they actually won.
BKN Heat again hard games for both teams and just @ begginin of season.
interesting is if there will be any team with 0 @ losing statistic after 4 games.
Watching Bulls vs Sixers tonight...
Let me say this unless Micheal Carter Williams drops off the face of this earth he will clearly win Rookie Of The Year. He's that good. I figure it would Oladipo but this kid is other worldly. He's like everything people thought Shaun Livingston would be but on Biogenesis.
He made Derrick Rose look silly tonight. He's a joy to watch. This is painful to watch because if teams do a good job mgm and scouting you can build relatively quickly. Can't throw away assets for Prehistoric players or for player with Prehistoric style of play. The Sixers have some very good young pieces on their team. If MCW keeps it up he will be an All-Star this year.
However many times we play them this year.....every single game will be tough. They get after it almost every play, they play so hard
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Thaddeus Young if possible but of course if Philly keeps winning no one will be trade bait. Spencer Hawes also outplayed Noah.
Paul George and Lance Stephenson probably the best 1-2 punch in the NBA maybe next to D-12/Harden Durant/Westbrook, and Lebron/Wade. Simply an outstanding model of consistency out the gate.
Whoever picked MCW in the fantasy league got the steal of the year.
Detroit looking like they'll be a force this season. I actually had them in the 5th spot for a moment but the season is still young for everyone I guess.
Paul George is crazy good...holy ****, he's playing like T-Mac in his prime.
but Paul is playing for proper team T-Mac was playing alone in bad teams
T-mac was more athletic skyhigh crossovers Paul is mostly shooter
anyway its too early to call him new T-mac its just 4th year of his NBA career + already scored MIP
I like what Detroits done. Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe is a tough frontcourt. I think they're a 6th to 8th seed but because of their size they'll be a pain in the ass for whoever the play in the playoffs. And after having the full season to gel...
Im not sure whats going on with the Cavs. Bynums still trying to work his way back and probably will never be the same player he was but I still expected them to be better.
Derrick Rose is looking like garbage so far. He probably just needs more time but that last years Bulls team that beat the Nets...man i cant believe more teams didnt go after Nate. Id rather have Nate Robinson as the Knicks starting point guard then Ray Felton
DeAndre Jordan and Josh McRoberts have impressed me.
Did anyone see what Paul George did against the Clippers just now….He did Vince Carter's dunk in the game…..360 Windmill….he's UNREAL!!!!!

The treasure in trash
AR also sells, services and upgrades computers at heavily discounted prices as a community service, according to vice president of operations David Delucca. To keep the prices low for those without the means to afford a new computer, AR harvests usable parts and swaps them into discarded computers.
At the heart of it is finding the value in discarded things, while looking for better and quicker ways to process them without cutting corners.
"When you get involved in this, you find out that you have a responsibility to this earth and the people on it," said Delucca, "I was a cop for 21 years and retired into this and my whole thought process is now different. The only way to really be environmentally sound is by taking care of these items and getting rid of them properly. We're not landfilling anything. We recycle 99.97% of everything we touch."
AR is also venturing into demolition in addition to reclamation, dismantling servers in data centers and recycling goods from offices. Meanwhile, the company is constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and invested $30,000 last year to install a huge biomass furnace to heat its warehouse. The burner allows them to recycle their abundant wood product, from broken pallets to TV casings.
The company is also interested in learning more from its customers. "Tell us what you need, and be patient, because eventually we'll have it at one of our locations," said Rea.
Businesses and individuals can unload their unwanted tech trash, appliances and metal items for free to AR, which will safely remove any toxic materials they contain—and make a few pennies in the process. Stop by during open hours or call to schedule an appointment. Visit www.AdvancedRecovery.com for more information, or call 845/858-8809.
Upcoming collection events in Pike County
An AR collection event is scheduled for June 23 at the Palmyra Township Building, 115 Buehler Lane, Paupack, PA. Call 570/226-2230 for more information.

For most new mothers and their babies, breastfeeding is a rewarding
and beneficial experience. Numerous studies have indicated that
breastfed infants tend to experience fewer illnesses, are less likely to
develop allergies, and have a lower incidence of diabetes than their
bottle-fed counterparts. Besides the health benefits provided to a
newborn, breastfeeding is less expensive, and often more convenient,
than bottle-feeding. Most new mothers, however, have many questions or
even doubts about breastfeeding. Huntington Hospital's Breastfeeding
Center offers women an encouraging, supportive, and informative
environment in which to learn more about the pros and cons of
breastfeeding. The Center is staffed by certified lactation consultants
who are available to offer advice, counseling and training in all
aspects of breastfeeding.
The Breastfeeding Center hosts an ongoing support group for
breastfeeding mothers and their infants. Here, under the supervision of a
lactation specialist, mothers meet to share encouragement and support
for their decision to breastfeed. Any breastfeeding mother and her
infant may attend these no-cost meetings, provided both are free of
communicable illnesses (i.e. cold, flu, cough, etc.). Due to safety
considerations, infants are permitted to attend only until they are able
to crawl. The group meets every Thursday morning from 10:00 a.m. to
11:30 a.m., except for holidays. In addition to sponsoring the breastfeeding support group, the Center
provides one-on-one consultations for nursing mothers. Our lactation
consultants can provide advice on nutrition, breast pumps, weaning and
various other breastfeeding issues. Mothers receiving inpatient
maternity care at Huntington Hospital may enjoy a private consultation
free of charge. For an outpatient consultation, the fee is $100.00 per
hour. Outpatient consultations require an appointment.
Please call the Breastfeeding Center at: (626) 397-3172

Topic: Preaching, Teaching & Healing
The writers of the four gospels (especially Matthew and Luke) regularly summarize Jesus' earthly ministry around the verbs preaching, teaching, and healing. Jesus came preaching – the kingdom of God has come near! Jesus came teaching – the kingdom of God is like. Jesus came healing – because the kingdom whose nearness He announces and whose dynamics He explains, is a kingdom of wholeness.
In this seminar, we will grapple with the main gospel texts that present Jesus as healer, as the One Who puts us back together again. We will wrestle with the hard questions the affirmation that Jesus heals raises in our lives, in our ministries, in this world. We will think together about the ministry of preaching and teaching as a ministry of healing. And we will pray together, for one another, for those we love and serve, and for our city in need of the healing only Jesus brings.

Clean intermittent catheterization - female; CIC - female
You will use a catheter (tube) to drain urine from your bladder. You may need a catheter because you have urinary incontinence (leakage), urinary retention (not being able to urinate), surgery that made a catheter necessary, or another health problem.
Urine will drain through your catheter into the toilet or a special container. Your doctor will show you how to use your catheter. After some practice, it will get easier.
Sometimes family members, a school nurse, or others may be able to help you use your catheter.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for the right catheter for you. Generally your catheter may be about 6 inches long, but there are different types and sizes. You can buy catheters at medical supply stores. You will also need small plastic bags and a gel such as K-Y jelly or Surgilube. Do NOT use Vaseline (petroleum jelly).
Ask your doctor how often you should empty your bladder with your catheter. Usually you empty your bladder every 4 to 6 hours, or 4 to 6 times a day. Always empty your bladder first thing in the morning and just before you go to bed at night. You may need to empty your bladder more frequently if you have had more fluids to drink.
You can empty your bladder while sitting on a toilet. Your doctor or nurse can show you how to do this correctly.
Follow these steps to insert your catheter:
Most insurance companies will pay for you to use a sterile catheter for each use. Some kinds of catheters are meant to be used only once, but many catheters can be re-used if they are cleaned correctly.
If you are reusing your catheter, you must clean your catheter every day. Always make sure you are in a clean bathroom. Do NOT let the catheter touch any of the bathroom surfaces (such as the toilet, wall, and floor).
Follow these steps:
Throw away the catheter when it becomes dry and brittle.
Call your doctor or nurse if:
