About Me
I am an independent photographer in southeast Missouri with many years of experience. I have a studio and equipment, as well as the desire and ability to produce great photographs.
As a way to help aspiring models, I will do portfolio shoots for a small fee. The shoot can be done in my studio, but I am willing to travel within reason for the shoot or farther with compensation. My studio is on a picturesque farm with many settings available for outside shots.
TFP is possible for models who I feel will make a positive contribution to my portfolio and my art. Unless we agree on something else, I will provide ten finished images as my part of the TFP agreement.
My photography has opened an exciting world for me. Hopefully, it can do the same for you.
***If you want me to pay you to do a nude shoot and your portfolio does not have any current nude photos in it, please be prepared to show or send me some recent ones. Sorry, but I've had too many models misrepresent their appearance, whether on purpose or by mistake. That does not apply for models who are paying me or shooting with me TFP.***
Feel free to email me at email@example.com.
*Artistic - I love the art of the human body.
*Available Light - I want to experiment more with the sunlight streaming through a window, with candlelight, and shooting beside a fire.
*Bodypainting/Body Art - I would love to do some bodypainting photos. Also, I have some ideas for shots of a model with confectioners' sprinkles or jewels stuck to her body.
*Breast Cancer Awareness - This cause is dear to me. My mother and wife have both had lumpectomies. Thankfully, both were benign. However, an old friend of mine lost her battle with cancer a few years ago and it has really had an impact on me. I have pink hand wraps, pink boxing gloves, a pink speed bag, and a pink heavy bag. I have several ideas for the shoot, with varying levels of intensity. Of course, your comfort level would dictate which shots we would try for.
*Construction - I have some construction-type helmets, gloves, safety vests, a flashing light, signs, etc. that I think would make a really cool shoot, especially if we could do it at night.
*Couples - I've done some couples shoots in the past and love the way they turned out. I have lots of ideas!
*Fantasy - I have a fairy costume that's never been used. Five of the photos in my port were taken at a spooky, old, abandoned building that I have permission to shoot in. I've thought of doing something vampire themed there. I have some ideas for a sexy vampire/couple shoot I'd like to try.
*Fight Like a Girl - I would like to do a shoot for breast cancer awareness. I have some pink hand wraps and boxing gloves. If you have a sports bra and shorts, preferably pink, we can get some great shots and maybe help win this fight.
*Fur - I have a beautiful coffee brown mink stole that we could use to make some incredible implied or nude shots with. I also have some other kinds of furs and skins we could use to do some great work with. including rabbit skins that were dyed with spots like young bobcat skins and others with stripes. I think we could make a very sexy native/wild girl costume using them if you're interested.
*Light Painting - I want to experiment more with sparklers and try some work with flashlights or lightsticks.
*Lingerie - Got any sexy lingerie you'd like your photo taken in?
*Military - I have some military gear and clothing. I'd love to redo my sexy Marine Corps pinup with a thong I bought that has the Marine Corps emblem on it.
*Native American - I have some very beautiful Native American garb and would really like to do a shoot with the Native American theme. I would absolutely love it if a Native American and/or someone with some authentic outfits would help me do the shoot
*Naughty Girl and Santa - I have a Santa Claus costume and I had this idea to do a shoot where a girl tries to convince Santa to take her off the "Naughty" list and put her on the "Nice" list. I think the theme could produce some really nice, naughty pictures. Anyone game?
*Outdoors - I live on a farm out in a rural area where there are LOTS of great shooting sites.
*Pinup - I'd love to try some more pinup shots. I've been thinking of doing one with the model bursting out of a gift wrapped box full of packing peanuts.
*Sports - I have lots of sports equipment, as well as some sexy St. Louis Cardinals and Rams clothing.
*Tattoos - I don't have any tattoos myself but am impressed with some of the artwork. If you have good tattoos, I'd love to get some pix to put on my website.
*Water - I have some great water sites - waterfalls, creeks, secluded "swimmin' holes", etc. I have some snorkling gear I'd like to use with a model in varying levels of dress in a bikini.
*Your Ideas - Feel free to discuss your ideas with me. I'm pretty easy going and, who knows, you may get your dream shoot!

Unified Hawks beat Hendricken, remain undefeated
The Mt. Hope Huskies unified basketball team continued its undefeated season, taking a 26-25 win in double-overtime over the Bishop Hendricken Hawks on Friday.
The visiting Huskies held the Hawks to a 12-12 tie at the half, continuing the stalemate with a 20-all score at the end of regulation.
Leading the offense for the Huskies, Tyesha Bliss gave Mt. Hope 8 points, with Ashley Hicks and Bradley Durand each adding 6 points to the scoreboard.
On the way to the win, Jared Tweedy contributed four points and Brandon Palmeri added two points as both teams battled on the hardwood.
At the end of the first overtime, the teams brought the score to 22-all, forcing a second overtime. Bradley Durand scored to give the Huskies a two-point lead, followed by Ashely Hicks' two-pointer to put Mt. Hope up by four at 26-22. With just over eight seconds on the clock, Hendricken made a 3-point shot, bringing them within one.
The Huskies gained possession and ran the clock out, ending the game with a 26-25 victory.
"They're doing great," said coach Tom Fullen of his unified team. "It's a pleasure watching them play."
So far the team has gone undefeated in its six games, two of them in non-league games against Hendricken.
The unified league has grown in the four years since it began, with 32 schools adding athletics to the opportunities available to students who benefit from educational resources to help them develop academically. Through team sports, players are paired with partners who provide guidance on the court and help them to understand the concepts of teamwork and individual effort.
"The partners are really good," Mr. Fullen said, noting the league allows the partners to score up to half of the total points. "They understand the philosophy."
On Thursday, April 10, the Huskies will host Portsmouth High School in a battle for first place in the Eastern Division. Both teams have a 4-0 league record with Mt. Hope slightly ahead in power point standings. That game begins at 3:30 p.m.
The Huskies hope to have strong fan support in the battle to remain in the number one spot.
Unified basketball roster: Jared Tweedy, guard; Ashley M. Hicks (Cptn.), guard; Cassidy Durand, guard; Tyesha Bliss (Cptn.), guard; Justin B. Maturi, guard; Melanie Barbary, forward; Brandon Palmieri, forward; Jared Winslow, forward; Scott Russell (Cptn.), center; Jason Ferro, center; Xavier M.

Teachers, Students and Evacuees Co-Exist as Schools Set to Resume
Teachers were back in school Friday, preparing for Monday's reopening. But eight public schools are still doing double duty as shelters for those displaced by flooding from Sandy. At Brooklyn Tech, the borough's most sought after public high school, students will share their building with the elderly and people with mental and physical disabilities. Some are apprehensive.
On Friday, Brooklyn Tech was housing about 400 people from nursing homes and homes for people with mental and physical disabilities.
They were joined by 200 of Brooklyn Tech's 250 teachers, who trekked to school to meet with their principal. Even the school's athletic director, who lost his house this week to the fire in Breezy Point, showed up. Many were eager to hear how the building will function Monday with hundreds of elderly and disabled evacuees plus 5,500 students.
"It's a very crowded school so it's hard to imagine," Social Studies teacher Serge Avery said. "You know, the question is how well schools and hospitals can function together."
Outside the entrance to the school's main hall and huge auditorium – said to be the largest in Brooklyn – a dozen evacuees smoked cigarettes and chatted with friends from facilities in Far Rockaway and Coney Island. A few were talking to themselves. Cynthia Shield was among many to explain they did not evacuate before the storm and were told to stay put.
Looking outside the window, she said she saw water that was waste high.
But she said she wasn't scared. The staff at Surf Manor Adult Home in Coney Island stayed with them.
"They brought us good food to our rooms, they gave us cereal for breakfast. They treated us good," said Shield.
Down the bock, Edward Ezer says he wasn't scared either, despite the speed with which water was rushing outside his Far Rockaway home. "I wasn't frightened because I was in Israel in the army during the October war," he said. Ezer has lived in New York facing the ocean for 25 years at the Chai Home for Adults for people with physical or mental disabilities.
"As far as I know," he said, "my last diagnosis was chronic paranoia and schizophrenia. And I don't argue with it."
It's unclear when evacuees will return to their homes. With Brooklyn Tech students headed back Monday, the Department of Homeless Services is trying to reduce its footprint at the school. The population at the shelter is already half what it was earlier in the week. On Friday, returning teachers were restricted to the 5th and 6th floors of the nine-story building. But school administrators hope they'll have much more space come Monday.
So does Homeless Services Commissioner Seth Diamond. "It's very hard to predict," he said Friday afternoon, "I mean there and active search that's going on now to find out if there are spaces available for them."
Up on Brooklyn Tech's 7th floor, rows of blue cots lined the lunchroom and dozens of frail evacuees tried to make themselves comfortable. One man called for medication. In a wheel chair, Alicia Brown said she wasn't mad that no one evacuated her from Lawrence Nursing Care Center in Far Rockaway before the storm.
"How could they do that?" she asked. "Who wants to be out there in the middle of the storm? I didn't!"
Brown's legs were both amputated above the knee because of sugar, she said. Diabetes. Attending to her and others in the cafeteria were a combination of city staff, aid workers, volunteers and employees of the nursing homes the evacuees came from.
But, after emerging from Brooklyn Tech's staff meeting, U.S. History teacher Adam Stevens said he was as concerned about how evacuees were faring as he was about students coming back to share space with them.
"There just doesn't seem to be the staff on hand to really take care of them and what they need," he said.
Adams had gone up to the college office on the 7th floor to print out a transcript for a student's early admission application and found, on the floor in the hallway, evidence that nursing home evacuees weren't making it all the way to the bathroom from the cafeteria
"They're unable to contain their waste," he said, "I'm not sure they have bathroom facilities to properly care for them."
Social studies teacher Avery was pessimistic about the return to school next week. "The principal really seemed to be at a loss for words to describe how this would work Monday," he said, "I don't think there's anybody in the building who thinks school and the facility can operate together."
Brooklyn Tech's Senior Class President, Ahmed Abdelqader, also came by to check out the scene. He said his classmates have been talking on social media about the shelter — with mixed reactions.
He said some students said they didn't feel comfortable. "But really school can't be closed for any more," he said. "Losing out on one week is almost horrific. We have to catch up on a lot of our classes. You gotta do what you gotta do."
Come Monday, Homeless Services Commissioner Diamond says students, teachers, evacuees and emergency aid workers will share the building.
"We have enough staff on site — or we will on Monday when school starts — that we are confident we can coexist with the schools without interfering," he said.
Then on Tuesday, voters will get into the mix. Brooklyn Tech is also a polling site for the presidential election.

What IS cyberspace?
The symbiotic relationship between seniors and the Internet should surprise nobody, considering that the people who first visualized it and made it happen are now seniors.
As computers are used for interaction between business places and offices around the world, schools, universities, and the bedrooms of children whose concerned parents worry aboutreal and perceived dangers, we grandparents comfortably mold our own cyberspace to evolving usefulness in the Internet community.
Ask Great Granny
Several worlds in one lifetime . . .
Cyber-elders use this medium for information, adventure, companionship, and to share lifetimes of intelligence. Infirmities do not deter this fast growing senior Internet population. From around the world, they are logged on, exchanging advice, conversing, updating their health needs, handling their finances, enjoying travel and adventure, caring for and supporting one another, and adding infinite substance to the World Wide Web through their volunteer activities, email, and other online interaction.
They call us an "aging" population. Are we living, or merely aging? . . . "more".

Six Shooters at Proud Camden provides a Who's Who of the contemporary music world. The 140 photographs, including images of Arctic Monkeys, Dizzee Rascal and Muse, were taken by six of the UK's leading music photographers, who have formed a collective. With their archive of portraits, spanning 20 years of rock'n'roll, they hope to challenge the preconception that music photography is not art. "We are not just jobbing photographers," says Mick Hutson, who snapped Beth Orton looking contemplative while she was drinking tea at a traditional eel and pie shop in London's East End. "We are artists, too. We have created a lot of art in our time."
So what distinguishes their work from being just another set of photographs of pop stars? "We get that extra little thing, which was probably never in the brief," explains Hutson. "The magic is a connection between the artist and the musician."
Other images in the show include Arctic Monkeys playing a game of pool in Sheffield just after they were signed; an exhausted-looking Bloc Party hanging out in an airport in the middle of their European tour; and Marina and the Diamonds sitting under a tree on the set of her "Hollywood" video shoot, wearing a stars and stripes dress.
How easy is it to get a musician to bare their soul? Andy Cotterill claims he had to lock Kanye West in the bathroom to get a shot of the rapper looking at his reflection in a pair of sunglasses. "I locked the door. I said, 'Look, I'm sorry about this but I'm not going to get you this shot if I don't get you away from your PR and stylist.'" A previously unseen photograph of The Killers' Brandon Flowers doing a ballet twirl to the piped Mozart playing in a hotel corridor only happened when the photographer Andy Fallon dragged the star off for a private moment.
Roger Sargent, who counts Paul Weller and Carl Barât as friends, says his photographs get better with the years. "The longer you spend with anyone, the more likely they are to bare their soul."

San Francisco Giants minor leaguers involved in car crash
Three or four people affiliated with a San Francisco Giants minor league team were injured in a Tuesday morning crash in Scottsdale, Ariz., involving the team van, police and fire spokesmen told the Associated Press.

The Bay Area's KTVU reports that the incident occurred when the van collided with a car. A police official told the AP that none of the injuries is believed to be life-threatening. The Giants conduct off-season training for its minor league teams in Scottsdale, where the Giants hold their spring training activities.

Mr Albanese was among high-profile foreign businessmen attending the China Development Forum, while Rio employees Stern Hu, Ge Mingqiang, Liu Caikui and Wang Yong faced the second day of a court hearing in Shanghai. The four are accused of taking bribes and infringing China's commercial secrets laws.
"The company did not know about the bribes," Zhai Jian, who is representing Ge Minqiang at the Shanghai trial, told Reuters on Tuesday.
"The defendants said in the court that the company was not aware of what they did."
A Rio spokesman said the company had not spoken to the defendants but was aware of Mr Zhai's comments.
Under Chinese law, lawyers are not allowed to communicate confidential aspects of the case to any party, including Rio, before the trial.
Rio issued a statement last July saying: "We remain fully supportive of our detained employees, and believe that they acted at all times with integrity and in accordance with Rio Tinto's strict and publicly stated code of ethical behaviour."
But a source within the company said Rio was under the impression at that time that its staff were accused of paying, rather than receiving, bribes.
"They checked to see if bribes had been paid on behalf of Rio, but they couldn't check staff bank accounts. The Chinese investigators had far more scope to do that sort of thing," the source said.
In Perth, the company's iron ore boss,
Rio and state-owned Chinese aluminium company Chinalco last Friday agreed on a plan to co-operate in developing the Simandou iron ore deposit in Guinea.
The deal, along with Mr Albanese's invitation to address the prestigious China Development Forum, have been viewed as signs that relations between China and Rio are back on track.
Mr Walsh said Rio had previously underestimated China's demand for iron ore, but was taking steps to ensure that supply expands in pace with expected demand.
Simandou has the potential to deliver at least 70 million tonnes of iron ore in its first phase of development, but Mr Albanese told CCTV on Tuesday the project would require "hundreds of kilometres" of rail to be built. Chinese parties will provide valuable infrastructure building expertise to the project.
Rio believes China will produce 900 million tonnes of steel by 2020, up from 578 million last year. This would require around 515 million tonnes of additional iron ore.

The Weekly Vice) - Tina Berryhill Rucker, a 42-year-old Myrtle Beach woman, was jailed Wednesday after she allegedly tried to strangle her live-in boyfriend because he was "hogging too much of the blanket".
According to Myrtle Beach Police, officers were dispatched to the couple's residence around 11 p.m. after 911 operators received a complaint alleging domestic violence.
When officers arrived on the scene, a man living at the residence told them that Rucker attacked and tried to choke him while they were in bed together.
He explained that she became enraged when he unintentionally pulled too much of the blanket over to his side of the bed.
Officers observed red marks, scratches and bleeding on the victim's neck, according to the arrest report.
Investigators also noted that Rucker was intoxicated and became belligerent with officers when they placed her into custody.
Rucker was booked into jail and charged with criminal domestic violence. She is currently being held without bond.

Gun Dog Breeder Reviews for Wild Mtn Brittanys
Testimonials (15) | Back to Wild Mtn Brittanys
Submitted by: Mel Rottmann on Dec 16, 2009I met Helen because of her dog Jade. At the time Jade was bred all of her pups were sold. Helen gave up her puppy to make sure I got a female pup. She has followed up via email and telephone to see how we both are doing. She will be available for advice on trialing, training, the show ring, health, nutrition, and all aspects of brittany puppy raising. I believe I have a solid, well rounded, good looking bird dog companion.
Submitted by: Marcy Beveridge on Nov 18, 2009I "met" Helen and Brian quite by accident several years ago while researching a pedigree on a Brittany puppy. Little did I know when I shipped off that first e-mail full of questions that I had happened across such true dog people and such great friends.
I have owned Brittanys exclusively for many years, and without hesitation highly recommend Helen and Brian as breeders, trainers and handlers. They have a terrific program, with a wide range of expertise in developing and handling the family pet, the working bird dog partner, the show ring and the field trial competitor. And with equal dedication, they work tirelessly in teaching their clients; no question is too silly, no problem too minor. I live halfway across the country from Wild Mtn, and the Riggles have spent countless hours via phone helping me with my dogs on many levels.
Most importantly, Brian and Helen love what they do, and they nurture your dog as if it were their own. Just plain good folks....and dog people to boot!
Submitted by: Steve Lauterbach on Nov 18, 2009Good knowledgeable Brittany folks...have found Brian to be a kind and gentle field trainer that gets good results from plenty of positive reinforcement. Very good at starting a young dog or finishing a competition dog.
Highly recommended and will use their services again!
Submitted by: Jon St. Clair on Nov 17, 2009I can't say enough about Helen & Brian's committment to the breed, their dogs, and their business. I have not purchased any dogs from them yet, but have experienced the great generosity and passion they possess when I was having health and training issues with my 3 year old female. They took the time to e-mail me, and even call me in Seattle, WA, when I was away on business. I had received a frightening phone call from my wife indicating my little girl was very sick. I was probably on the phone for close to 40 minutes with Helen, where she took time from her busy schedule to calm me down, assess the issue at hand, and advise me with her experience. Being a new dog owner, I felt blessed to have come across such a giving human being. I know, at any time, I can give these great people a call, and they will be there for me. They are like pet Godparents in my mind, and this is a priceless asset to have. Keep up the great work Helen & Brian.
Submitted by: Phyllis Cannatella-Baines on Nov 16, 2009I bought an adult female Brittany, age 3 1/2, from Helen and Brian and could not be happier with my dog, Sadee. Sadee came to me ready to hunt before clients and within 30 days she was the favoite of all the guides. She is a dream to handle in the field and has the best nose in the kennel. Sadee delivered a litter of 6 healthy pups this past April all by herself and was an excellent mom. The trainers expect those pups to be ready for the field by January at just 9 months---born hunters possessing the best dispositions you could hope for in working dogs. I would not hesitate to buy a dog for Brian and Helen or to have them train a dog for me.
Submitted by: Lisa Starcevic on Nov 15, 2009On New Years Day 2008 Wild Mtn.Brittany's open their home to let us take a look at some puppies. We fell in love with a beautiful liver and white male brittany who was 16 weeks old. Not only did we get a great, healthy dog with sooo much natural instinct. We also got 2 new friends in Helen and Brian. They are so packed with information and are always open to sharing that info with you. Fortunately for us, they are close enough and kind enough to have Charlie stay with them when we travel. I wouldn't leave him with anyone else!!! Keep up the great work!
Submitted by: Richard DeMIlt on Nov 13, 2009It's a pleasure to business with Helen and Brian. We purchased our latest brittany from them, a liver and white female and could not be more pleased with the process. Jody, our new puppy is a tremendous dog and a joy for our family. Jody is
6 months and will join me in the hills of Virginia
hunting grouse.
Submitted by: Donald Giffin on Nov 13, 2009Can't say enough good things about Helen, Brian and their Wild Mountain Brittanys. We had the great fortune to get a puppy from Helen and Brian in the fall of 2007. Our now 2 year old "Freddy" (Son of Jeb) has been the perfect house dog and an amazing hunting companion. Fred and my son recently one the Hunters Creek Upland Gun Dog Championship in Metamora Michigan.
Submitted by: Debbie Snyder on Nov 13, 2009When I purchased my Brittany, Chance (Ch. Triumphant's The Heat IS On, JH), it was with the intention of showing him. After the fun of his winning numerous Best of Breeds, incluing the 2008 ABC Summer Specialty, I decided to give Chance an opportunity to pursue his DC. With a recommendation from his breeder, I contacted Helen and Brian and asked them if they would be willing to evaluate Chance for me. Last spring we agreed that Chance had enough potential to have Brian break him over the summer and then see what he could do in the fall trials. I am very pleased with all the progress Chance made with Brian this fall, especially his first adult placement (3rd out of 30 starters in Open Gun Dog)! Helen has been fantastic about sending pictures and providing updates on Chance's progress. Thank you Brian and Helen for all your hard work with Chance this past year and Good Luck with him at the National!
Submitted by: Andre Coulombe on Nov 12, 2009My male brittanys Maverick has just come home from the end of his 3rd season out with Brian and Helen Riggle being field trialed. We could not be happier, we are just 2 points away from his FC!!
I have seen his run mature before my eyes and he has become the trial dog I knew he could be and a dog that I enjoy watching perform out there. His performance week to week is much more consistant and when home and in the woods looking for grouse he is truely a pleasure to hunt over.
Thank you for all the work you have done with Maverick, we truly appreciate it and can see you love your work and the dogs you work with.

Submitted by: Travis McMunn on Nov 12, 2009I sent my girl down to Helen and Brian last summer (2008) for some bird dog training and some derby stakes in the fall. The training and handling is second to none. She came back an incredible bird dog, with numerous placements in her field trials. She even got her first show point (and a Best of Breed) that same summer with Helen. I sent her back down this summer to become a broke dog, and again, she came back in spectacular condition. She's EXTREMELY birdy, has excellent bird manners, and is a pleasure to hunt with. I'm anticipating a great field trial year next year. The icing on the cake is she was run in the show circuit again, and she came back as a show champion (which was on top of why she was down there). Helen and Brian take her in, and treat her like she is their own dog, and no amount of money can pay for that. Jasmine loves to see Brian after being gone for awhile, which is a testament to the bond he created with her.
I also have a dog from one of their litters, and he is a great little dog. He has strong field lines (and picked up his puppy points this fall), which is a testament to the breeding they do. They definatley have a top quality breeding program.
They are only a phone call away when there are questions, and they gladly answer them.
I would gladly recommend the Riggles to anyone wanting to buy a dog, or who want to send their dog for some training. You will not be disappointed!
Submitted by: Marshall Ryon on Nov 12, 2009I took 2 brittanys from WMB out to South Dakota for an early season hunt. My pup Joey, 2 yrs old, met his first wild "porquey" about 15 minutes out of the truck and ended up with a face full of quills. They in no way impacted his desire to hunt. We hunted him the rest of the week and he drove hard the whole time. He worked well thanks to the training he had received at WMB, not to mention his breeding. He is a sweet, happy dog when not hunting. Jeb, a pretty boy and international champ, 8 years old, and new to our family, quartered well, pointed, held his point, and fulfilled all his responsibilities happily. He charged hard with great desire. Wild Mtn Brittanys know their dogs and how to breed and train them! Why? Beause they are dog people.
If you are interested in a dual Brittany go to (as in visit) Wild Mtn Brittanys where Helen and Brian, truly accommodating friends, will match you up with the dog of your dreams.
Submitted by: Don (CAM) MacGregor on May 21, 2008What can I say? Brian and Helen took my pup Sharptails Dangerous Dakota for three short months of training and returned him a healthy happy dog with a passion to hunt! I asked them to allow him to be a pup and insisted that he have fun. Well it is very evident that they did all that and more. Dakota came home with 4 first place finishes 2 in puppy stakes and 2 in open derby as well as other placements. More Importantly you can see he is having a blast he just loves his birds and doing his job.
In short if you love your dog and want the best then Wild Mtn. Brittany's should be considered at the top of your list I will be a return client! Brian and Helen are just flat out good people and I wish them all the very best.
Thanks for meeting and beating all my expectations
Submitted by: Arlette Hennessey on Jun 28, 2007Helen and Brian are both very dedicated to their dogs. Again Though I have not personally purchased a brittany from them They also put alot of thought into their breeding program for Quality bred Brittany's.
Great to see Breeders who really care about what they do and Helen and Brian are right in there with people I Reccomend
Submitted by: Andre on Jun 28, 2007I sent my dog to Brian and Helen for training and to be run in field trials this past spring.
In just over 2 months he came home with a 4th, a 3rd and two 2nds plus a 3rd in ths show ring.
He is heading back late summer to finish being broke and get ready to start running adult stakes now.
They are great people, have some great dogs and have done a great job with my dog. I would not send my dog to someone who did not actually care about dogs. Brian and Helen truely do care.
I would recomend them to anyone.

And lastly, the only negative about my new dog bone bushings is the vibration in reverse and in first at low rpm's. a lot more vibration than I would like but the payoff in the other ways is worth it.
Good to hear you got it reassembled. However you're comparing a new bushing to a failed bushing of a different type. This is like comparing a defective Ferrari motor that won't crank over to a new Fiesta motor. Nobody can conclude that poly bushings are better or worse than OEM based upon this repair. You might as well compare a corded, old $200 premium tire to a to a new $49 generic then tell us cheap tires grip better in rain. Poly bushings add vibration harshness and noise compared to fresh OEM type, so they offer no advantage for typical street use. They are only beneficial for racing apps where OEM bushings don't last over 50K mi or hardware movement needs managed due to elevated torque levels or higher G forces induced from race tires. Most serious factory sports cars like Viper and Corvette do not use poly for motor mounts or suspension pivot points because it adds noise and offers no significant performance advantages. If I had a 300HP gutted Focus autocross car sitting on a trailer, I'd think about it.

The privately funded express inter-city passenger rail service will connect Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, with future service to Orlando.
In announcing the deal, he said the Morris and Essex line will be most affected this summer. To offset the inconvenience, Christie is lowering the fare for a monthly pass, in some cases by as much as $280.
The diesel multiple units will be built in Alstom's plant in Salzgitter and delivered by May 2019 to run on the RE Ulm-Aalen, RB Ulm-Langnau, and RB Ulm-Munderkingen lines.
The project is expected to cost approximately $299.3 million, with other funding coming from state cap-and-trade funding, other federal and local funding.
The cutbacks on Metrorail follow an announced plan to eliminate stops on some bus routes and contract out others to save money. Metrorail ridership is down about 6% this year, while bus boardings are down about 10%.

I use Winchester White Box FMJ and JHP in mine.
What type of ammunition is recomended for a cougar 8045?
I figure ball is the best. But does different HP's get caught up loading?
I guess this is a general question to semi's in general?
I use Winchester White Box FMJ and JHP in mine.
I don't have personal knowledge of that semi-auto, but all the good ones will shoot ball or jhp, after a proper break-in period. Some, if not most, will do it without a break-in period, but it is reasonable to expect a new handgun that is built to the tolerances necessary for accuracy, to need a couple hundred break-in rounds.
If the factory took the time to polish the chamber and feed ramp, and knock any burrs off the rails, it will probably be dependable from day one, if it is a proven design.

Lessons in abacus maths for kids are conducted in almost all children's play and activity centers across India. Other than this there are special coaching centers conducting simple to understand classes on abacus for kids. What are the benefits of abacus training? Should I enroll my child for abacus classes? Can I teach abacus skills to my kid at home? These are various questions parents have in mind. I am planning to send my kid to an abacus class as well. So thought of sharing the benefits with other parents like you.
Abacus Maths for kids – Factsheet
What is abacus?
The abacus is an ancient tool that was used in Egypt, China, Japan, Russia and different parts of Asia for performing simple calculations like addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, fractions and even square roots. The abacus that is often used to teach kids today, is the Japanese version, called Soroban. This is made of a wooden or metal frame divided into two parts with a horizontal beam. The upper part has a single row of beads and the lower part has four rows of four beads each to facilitate 10 based calculation.
Photo Credits:sbassi
Abacus Maths can be used to teach kids simple and complex mathematical operations like square roots, cube roots, L.C.M., G.C.D., and decimal calculations.
Abacus maths for kids – Levels
There are 9 to 10 levels in Abacus Maths, again depending on the institutes that offer training. At the end of every level, exams are conducted and certificates rewarded. Abacus competitions are also conducted at regional and national levels.
Why should you enroll your child for Abacus Training?
Normally kids learn to count using fingers. However, counting by fingers is limited to 10 due to lack of counting objects. All that changes when using an abacus to learn numbers. Kids can perform addition and subtraction on larger numbers with an abacus. Multiplication concepts get easier after abacus training. With regular practice, kids can visualize and perform mathematical operations on an imaginary abacus. Thus, abacus training is a wonderful opportunity for kids to excel in mental mathematics.
Children pick up concepts and facts in a much faster way with Kinesthetics – a combination of visual observation and physical touch. Abacus is ideally suited for this approach. The colorful beads of an abacus stimulate visual observation, allow kids to touch the beads and understand the result. Get an abacus with colorful beads. The toy like look makes kids happy enough to concentrate on abacus training to learn mental mathematics as against written exercises on paper.
Now the left part of the brain is responsible for analyzing information, languages and sound. The right side of the brain is responsible for information integration, creativity and thinking. An abacus stimulates and optimizes the working of both the right and left parts of the brain during early developmental years of a child. A child can make good use of his brain, to its fullest potential. Abacus training makes your kid mentally alert and capable of solving complex mathematical problems in later years.
Abacus maths for kids – Ideal age group
The ideal age for kids to enroll for abacus classes is 5 to 12 years. That is the time when basic mathematical concepts are taught in school.

"Alma DeGeer Dunahew, the mother of three young boys, works as the maid for a prominent citizen and his family in West Table, Missouri. Her husband is mostly absent, and, in 1929, her scandalous, beloved younger sister is one of the 42 killed in an explosion at the local dance hall. Who is to blame? Mobsters from St. Louis? The embittered local gypsies? The preacher who railed against the loose morals of the waltzing couples? Or could it have been a colossal accident? Alma thinks she knows the answer--and that its roots lie in a dangerous love affair. Her dogged pursuit of justice makes her an outcast and causes a long-standing rift with her own son. By telling her story to her grandson, she finally gains some solace--and peace for her sister. He is advised to "Tell it. Go on and tell it"--Tell the story of his family's struggles, suspicions, secrets, and triumphs."--Dust jacket flap.

Memorial Day
Photo courtesy of eddiecoyote
In the US, Memorial Day is a day set aside for us to honor and remember those in our Armed Forces who died while in service to our country. To all those we honor, fathers, brothers, sons, mothers, sisters, daughters, we salute you.
This is also a time when we begin to see the trees greening, and the flowers blooming and the sun feeling a little warmer. It is the day we traditionally usher in the summer season.
For those who have the luck for an extra day off today, we are enjoying a long weekend. And for our northern friends who are just now bidding farewell to snow and cold, people are hitting the roads. Even in these tough economic times, it is expected that we will be out heading for the beach, the lakes, or just a welcomed getaway to shake off the cabin fever of long days inside.
A few posts ago, I gave a consolidation of tips on saving gas on the road. Following that theme and keeping in mind that many families will be traveling by car, here are a few more ideas to keep you happy and sane while getting there.
When Jenn was younger and we would go on our little road trips, we always made sure that the journey was PART of the fun. We would not push and get frantic about messed up timelines. There is no fun in racing against the clock. We do that everyday. So let this Memorial Day travel be more relaxing.
It is hot. Down here in Florida we went straight from winter to the 90's. So be sure you pack plenty of water. Better yet, take refillable stainless bottles and be green. If your little ones like sodas or that sweet stuff, just bring a jug of juice and splash some into the water for them instead. It tastes good and it is economical too.
Plan on taking some good snacks along and let the kids pack the little snack bags. Give them dried fruits, popcorn, nuts, etc to pick from and let them go to it.
Make sure you take frequent breaks – stretch, walk a few minutes, use the bathroom, whatever, but plan on it. It is not just good to let the kids out to burn off some energy, it is good for you too. It may make your travel time longer, but it will be well worth it.
Be flexible. If you see something of interest along the way, why not just do it. Who knows if you will pass that way again and it could turn out to be a worthwhile adventure.
Don't try to do marathon driving. Set a reasonable time. Then stop for the day. Have a nice dinner, use the pool, spend the evening relaxing and get to bed early so you can be relaxed and ready to go the next morning.
Have fun!! Relax! Enjoy your weekend!

Hi dear , same here in Malaysia the weather very hot….need to drink more water.
Michelle - May 30, 2011 at 9:25 am
Great tips! So many of our road trips were horse related – which meant hustling from one place to another because we had a load of animals. There are so many places that we'd pass year to year that looked interesting and I'd always want to stop and check out. There is definitely something to be said about making trip as much about the journey as the destination!

Hi all,
Here is an interesting thought, we all share good photographs clicked by us and then discuss about how brilliant it is.
How about sharing bad photographs or the shots you have tried clicking many times and still not able to get it? Share such photographs and discuss in the community about how to get it right. Wouldn't that be great learning experience?

Telstra calls in top headhunter
Page Tools
Telstra confirmed yesterday it had appointed international search firm Egon Zehnder to find a replacement for chief executive Ziggy Switkowski, who will leave no later than July 1 after Telstra's board showed him the door.
It was Egon Zehnder that found Dr Switkowski and his predecessor, Frank Blount, for Telstra.
The board's nominations and remuneration committee, which chairman Donald McGauchie heads, began vetting search firm candidates soon after the announcement of Dr Switkowski's departure last month. Telstra's full board then approved Egon Zehnder.
"They chose Egon Zehnder shortly before Christmas," said Telstra spokesman Michael Grealy.
Telstra would not provide more details about the search for a replacement CEO, and Egon Zehnder executives were not available for comment yesterday.
Egon Zehnder is well known locally as a high-calibre headhunter. Its resume includes finding Telstra board member John Fletcher to head Coles Myer and John Ballard for the top job at Southcorp last year.
Just before Christmas, Coles Myer chairman Rick Allert denied rumours that Mr Fletcher was interested in the top job at Telstra.
Local candidates are believed to include Optus chief executive Paul O'Sullivan and some Telstra insiders, led by former General Electric chief David Moffatt. Egon Zehnder, with offices in 36 countries, is also well placed to find an international candidate - as it did with Mr Blount from the US.
Whoever the final candidate is, there is no doubt what his top priority will be.
Announcing Dr Switkowski's departure early last month, Mr McGauchie mentioned that the imminent sale of the Government's 52 per cent stake in Telstra - worth more than $31 billion - was the ultimate trigger for the decision.
Finding the right candidate is not expected to be easy. The Telstra board and the Government spent a fruitless three years trying to find a replacement for Mr Blount before picking Dr Switkowski from five internal candidates.
"It was not easy to find someone, and that's why Ziggy got the job," an insider closely involved with the search said last year.
And the job will not have become easier, with Telstra facing several key issues soon.
These includes a competition notice from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission about Telstra slashing its retail broadband prices last February. The first-half profit announcement next month is expected to include further cost cutting as well.

By now we were running out of most stuff, food, cigs and batteries for the tent fan so temper(s) were a bit frayed. Finally hit the bitumen and were both very pleased. Especially Darren found some cigarettes. Resigning our selves to a night in a border ...

text: It appears that we will not have any walkovers here in these 2007 playoffs, especially in the round 1. The west looks very competitive with the two favorites, Mavs and Spurs losing at home in game 1, and both the Rockets and Suns trail at the half at home before having huge 3rd quarters and overcoming the Jazz and Lakers. In the east, the newbie Raptors took too long to overcome their jitters and were the only EC team to lose their HC advantage. I think they can win game two, but might find themselves down 3-1 by the time they comeback home to play game 5. The Heat/Bulls series is still a tossup since the Heat had their big guns in foul trouble most of the game. Wade seems Ok to me. The Cavs took too long to dispose of the shorthanded Wiz and I see this one going at least 5. The Pistons were the only opening game winner to lead from start to finish and score 100 points, but they appear to have taken Orlando to lightly and had to hold off the upset minded Magic down the stretch. Lets hope that 4th qtr was awake up call, especially with the 1 and 3 seeds in the west going down to defeat in their opening games.

Hidden among the rocky outcrops is a camp that exudes a decadence reminiscent of old Africa. Its spacious tents have been carefully placed to provide privacy and blend into nature's architecture, overlooking the Grumeti River and its resident hippos.
Richly furnished throughout, the camp provides a haven of sumptuous indulgence among the raw splendor of the surrounding bush. Surrounded by a 360 degree veranda deck and with a capacious, 45 square metre, internal floor space, each guest tent is a private sanctuary. The split level lounge, cigar bar, restaurant, sundecks and swimming pool are perched among the outcrops and overlook the vast and rugged landscapes that are home to the world's greatest mammal migration.

Caballero, Saenz score KOs
Sensational young prospects Randy Caballero and Gabino Saenz scored first round knockouts this past Friday night in the off-TV portion of ESPN2's Friday Night Fights at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California.
After the ESPN2 broadcast went off the air, the loud and proud legion of fans from Coachella, California, cheered as the sound system-blasted "Matador" by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, signaling the ring walk of the 19 year old Caballero.
Facing off in a scheduled four round super bantamweight bout against Denver's Jairo Delgado, Caballero moved smoothly around the ring, peppering Delgado with a piston like jab over the first half of the initial stanza.
As Delgado missed with an overhand right, Caballero drilled him with a counter right to the chin, blasting him to the canvas, the stoppage coming at the two minute mark.
With the win, Caballero improved to 4-0-0 with four first round knockouts. Having spent a week recently sparring in Northern California with Nonito Donaire, Robert Guerrero and Steven Luevano, Caballero will return to the gym this week.
Following Caballero's bout, Indio's Gabino Saenz headed to the ring for his highly anticipated pro debut, supported by scores of fans sporting Team Saenz t-shirts including junior welterweight world champion Timothy Bradley.
Scheduled for four rounds against Colorado's Brandon Sanchez in the featherweight division, 21 year old Saenz wasted no time, pounding Sanchez to the body and head with a beautiful left hook combination earning the stoppage at the :34 second mark.
Details of Caballero's and Saenz upcoming bouts will be announced shortly.
Formed in early 2008, Chet Koerner's Las Vegas based TKO BOXING Promotions, originators of the "HOMETOWN HEROES TO WORLD CHAMPIONS" national boxing series, stable includes; heavyweight Lenroy Thomas, cruiserweight Andres Taylor, super middleweight Fedor Chudinov, middleweights Peter Manfredo Jr., Giovanni Lorenzo, Elvin Ayala, James Countryman and Dmitry Chudinov, middleweight J' Leon Love, junior middleweights Bastie Samir, welterweights Demetrius Hopkins, Bradley Blankenship, Mikael Zewski, Michael Finney, Leti Leti, Alantez Fox, and Eric Mendez, junior welterweights Francisco Contreras and Joseph Elegele, lightweights Edner Cherry, Rolando Reyes, Terence Crawford and Fidel Maldonado, featherweights Matt Remillard, Carney Bowman, Dat Nguyen, Delvin Placencia, Gabino Saenz, Rafael Lora, Maxwell Awaku and Robert Rodriguez, super bantamweights Rafael Valenzuela and Dodie Boy Penalosa Jr., bantamweight Leo Santa Cruz and flyweights Rayonta Whitfield and Randy Caballero.

More than 90 pupils of Whangarei Academy of Dance and Performing Arts are taking to the stage for Snow White Revisited, and Christmas Funk.
When Forum North opened in Whangarei in 1982, dance teacher Deborah Phillips staged a classical production of Snow White for the end-of-year show. Thirty years later, she's doing Snow White again, but this time with a modern twist. In the 2012 version, Snow White falls asleep to a song by the Eurythmics, and gets married to the Bruno Mars song Marry You.
Dance teacher Holly Duder-Joy said the youngest dancer taking part in the show is 3 years old, and the oldest is 28.
The show opens tonight at 7.30pm at Forum North, and there are two more performances tomorrow, at 1.30pm and 7pm.

This report is based on the activities of the Digital Communities program, a network of public- and private-sector IT professionals who are working to improve local governments' delivery of public service through the use of digital technology. The program — a partnership between Government Technology and e.Republic's Center for Digital Government — consists of task forces that meet online and in person to exchange information on important issues local government IT professionals face.
More than 1,000 government and industry members participate in Digital Communities task forces focused on digital infrastructure, law enforcement and big city/county leadership. The Digital Communities program also conducts the annual Digital Cities and Digital Counties surveys, which track technology trends and identify and promote best practices in local government.
There's a scene in the 1990 movie Dances With Wolves in which Kevin Costner's character Lt. Dunbar is traveling with a teamster by horse and wagon to his new post on the Western frontier. They come across a skeleton lying in the grass — an arrow sticking up through its ribs — and the teamster says, "Somebody back East is sayin' 'why don't he write?'"
Today, public safety is a bit more sophisticated, and methods of communication much faster. Law enforcement tools have evolved from wanted posters to police radio, patrol cars and social networks, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
Community policing today has also expanded through social networking to locate missing children, alert neighbors of suspicious activity and even inform the public about crimes committed in their neighborhoods.
But social networking is a tool that cuts both ways. Flash mobs organized online in Philadelphia swarmed stores to shoplift and attack pedestrians; pedophiles use social networking platforms to share photos and video; and terrorists recruit members and plan attacks via these tools.
Even the courts have been affected. Jurors have disregarded instructions and have conducted online research, shared their opinions on Twitter from the jury box, and even posted biased comments on their Facebook pages.
In Albuquerque, N.M., a police officer discredited both himself and his department by listing his occupation on Facebook as "human waste disposal." And in a number of high-profile cases, officers have found their actions posted on YouTube and the subject of hundreds or even thousands of negative comments.
From a 140-character tweet to a 56 MB video clip, social networking is a force that cannot be denied or ignored. We hope this special section will assist law enforcement in embracing and understanding this phenomenon.
The response thus far by law enforcement seems to be the monitoring of social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). This may be the best and only way to know what's going on in these instances. Of course the questions remain whether this will ultimately be constitutional and what do, how does law enforcement respond with this information that they have. Does this call for a dedicated team like a digital SWAT Team? Is the problem that police are not trained to respond to groups? Police are generally equipped to respond to individual for interaction, arrest, and prosecution, but throughout the criminal justice system there has been little training regarding organizational behavior. http://apsu.academia.edu/CarterSmith/Papers/1190888/Flashgangs_and_Flashgangbanging_How_can_local_police_prepare

Yeaaaa Party time for me. That means presents and treats, almost as good as Christmas :) Mom says she's going shopping this weekend to pick me out somethings, I hope she gets some good stuff. I'm going to be two years old. Wow the time really does go by fast. And mommy is going to take plenty pictures so I'll make sure to get them on here. Well I need to get going, WOOF!
-Bowie Bell
It was about three weeks ago and mommy and daddy kept telling me over and over that I was going to get a new brother soon. You see they think that I needed to have someone to play with when there away at work, but you see I didn't agree at first. Mommy and daddy left for work that morning and said "Okay Bowie today is the day, after work your brother will be here". That evening they walked in the house and I could see mommy had something in her arms but I payed no mind to it. I went about on my usual routine running in circles, jumping on the couch, and licking my daddies face. UNTIL I saw mommy put something on the ground and it started to move, I was in shock I couldn't believe she would bring another dog in this house. At first I didn't want anything to do with him I growed at him and even snapped at him once, that's until mommy got the newspaper and said NO bowie and popped my butt once. But as the days went on I realized hey maybe I can deal with this squirt :) We are now the best of friends, I can't go anywhere without him and I also take care of him like a big sis should :)

Generic Name: Enoxaparin sodium
Product Name: Clexane
Clexane is a medicine that is used to treat blood clots, or stop clots from forming inside the body. Clexane is commonly used to prevent clotting after an operation such as a hip replacement, or in certain heart conditions.
Clexane works by preventing certain molecules in the blood called clotting factors from working. Clotting factors are needed to from a clot (eg. on a cut or scratch). Sometimes, however, blood clots can form inside the body and travel to areas such as the lungs or brain, where they can from a block. When this happens it is difficult for blood to circulate properly, and the clot may cause severe illness.
Dose advice
Clexane comes as an injection. Your doctor or nurse will normally give this to you. Clexane is usually injected under the skin of the abdominal (belly) area. In some cases your doctor may show you how to inject yourself with Clexane. You should not attempt to inject yourself with Clexane unless your doctor has shown you how to do this.
Clexane is sometimes given to women who are pregnant; your doctor will discuss this with you. Clexane is a Pregnancy Category C medicine. Clexane should not be used by breastfeeding women, or by children.
Common side effects
All medicines have side effects. Some side affects can be serious but most are mild. The following is a list of common side effects that occurred in more than 1% but less than 10% of people who took Clexane:
- Bruising or pain at the place Clexane was injected
- Bleeding more than normal
Talk to your doctor if you experience any side effects.
Uncommon side effects
The following is a list of side effects that occurred in less than 1% of people who took Clexane. Do not be alarmed by this list. You may not experience any of these side effects.
- Changes to bone hardness with long term use
- Hair loss with long term use
- Allergic reaction
Consult your doctor if you experience any of the above symptoms, or any other unusual or abnormal symptoms that concern you.

Van Man no more. The Van Man did not pick us up from: Star Princess Cruise Review by diamond diva
Overall Member Rating
Van Man no more. The Van Man did not pick us up from
Destination: South America
Embarkation: Santiago (Valparaiso)
This was the cruise you did not want to be on. If we didn't get to see the penquins when our Pt. Stanley port was cancelled I thought that there would be mutany. The shore excursion desk & cruise staff were inexpenience and the lines waiting for tender tickets went around the lobby three times. Tender tickets should have been given quickly instead of each person going up to the desk. The atrium was blocked with lines of people and other passengers couldn't get thru.
The Star was late arriving from the previous cruise because of bad weather so we were sent emails from Princess saying not to arrive until 5 More PM. There were long lines & it took quite a while for embarcation. Dinner was finally at 8:30 PM but the Star did not leave until 3:00 AM which put the passangers at a disadvantage of missing the first port, Puerto Mott. Most shore excursions were cancelled because of the short time in port & most of us did not even get to see the town. Nothing was done to compensate the passengers for these disadvantages. For good public relations with the passengers something should have been done like a free wine & cheese party or anything.
This cruise was rocky & the pools could not be used most of the cruise. Most of the activities were at the same time in the AM so there was not much to do in the afternoon. The combinations of food in the dining room & Horizon Ct. were very different & not as good as on previous cruises.
Instead of Pt. Stanley the ship made a stop at Puerto Madryn & the passagers that had a penquin tour for Stanley were given the penquin tour South of Madryn but other passangers were not able to sign up. Our friends did not get to see the penquins at all. The shore excursion desk should have allowed everyone who wanted to sign up for the penquin tour to do so. We were put in a van to drive the two plus hrs. to Puento Tombo & they should have had another bus and sold more space to the other cruise passangers to see the penquins, which was a trip highlight for most people.
Altogether, I would not recommend this trip especially in January when there is a chance of bad weather conditions. The Star needs to get it's act together. Less

Knox County Nursing Home in Knoxville, Ill., recently held a Memory Flowers fundraiser to support their team for the Knox-Warren Walk to End Alzheimer's.
It was a great success! People had fun with it, engaged in some friendly competition, and above all increased awareness about the disease and the Central Illinois Chapter's programs and services.
Seen here is just one portion of the Wall of Flowers.
Staff made a contest out of it and together sold more than 400 paper flowers -- one employee sold 101 herself! Another employee took the flowers to her husband's martial arts studio and sold 100 there. The top seller won a $25 gift card, and the employees in the area that sold the most had a pizza party.
The Wall of Flowers that resulted at the nursing home is a visual reminder of the power of their teamwork to support a great cause. The Central Illinois Chapter extends Knox County Nursing Home a warm thanks.
The Knox-Warren Walk to End Alzheimer's will be Saturday, Sept. 22 at the Hawthorne Centre gymnasium in Galesburg. It begins at 9 a.m. Visit http://www.alz.org/illinoiscentral/in_my_community_walk.asp to find out more about this walk and the seven others the Central Illinois Chapter hosts, and sign up today!

By no means am I putting down S&W AR's. I can only go by here say and information that is in front of me. I do not own one and have not shot one, but that does not mean I have not heard of problems with them. ARCOM has posts about issues with them as well. By the way your mentioning of Glock's kabooming is very valid and the reason why I don't shoot reloads in mine.
I might be one of the odd balls, but I believe many of these issues are caused by ammo more often then the gun.

NEW YORK—I was sent a little story the other night which told of a rather nice little incident that brought about increased interest between two travelers in Austria and the people of a small Austrian town or village.
Our two American travelers were school people and frugal, so they developed a good way of looking for accommodations. They would drive to the middle of the place where they wished to spend the night and ask a policeman where they could find a clean but inexpensive room.
In Bregenz, Austria, they followed this procedure and were intrigued by the fact that the policeman had a flashlight hanging from his shoulder strap. They talked for a long time and in the course of conversation discovered that each individual policeman had to buy his own flashlight, which cost three and a half days' pay.
When they returned home, they contacted the largest flashlight manufacturers in the country who agreed to furnish all the police of Bregenz with flashlights, 21 in all, and 48 batteries. These were sent to Bregenz for the whole police force. The mayor and the chief of police wrote appreciative letters, begged the travelers to return and spend a longer time, and sent them a delightful book.
All of this adds up to good feeling between our citizens and those of other countries, and we hope that this suggestion will be carried out by many other visitors in far corners of the world.
Mr. M. Harman and his wife, the travelers, certainly created good feeling for their countrymen by this gesture of friendliness. And this could be multiplied millions of times if all of our people would have the same thoughtful interest in those they meet when they are away from home.

At the American Association for the United Nations we have been planning the study program that we are going to suggest to our various chapters for the coming year. Mr. Clark Eichelberger in making a statement for the press said:
"The United Nations, as it enters its second decade, is overwhelmingly accepted by the American people. However, acceptance must be reinforced by public understanding of the great issues. The Association has found that the American people now wish to know more about the great issues before the U.N. and the position that the United States government will take upon these issues.
"The Association has decided to take these great issues to the people—issues such as colonialism, atoms for peace, disarmament, and membership. The Association will encourage groups in thousands of homes and meeting places throughout the country to participate.
"This effort will be a major part of the program of the chapters of the Association. The cooperation of the major national organizations will be sought to undertake the presentation of the great issues to their members.
"The Association at its next conference in Washington, in which it will have the cooperation of almost 100 national organizations, will deal with some of these issues. In its educational program the Association will stress the importance of U.S. leadership in the U.N."

Collection Detection answer #8
Wednesday 23 April 2014 by Yi Jiang. 1 comment
Education at the Memorial, News
Thank you to everyone who submitted their guess for this week. As promised, here is the answer:
It is a wooden sign, which reads "English burying place", made from a section of packing case.
It was found by Australian Ernest Peacock at Gallipoli in 1918, just after the war. The Allies had once again landed on the Gallipoli peninsula – this time in peace – where they would occupy the forts of the Dardanelles they had never reached in 1915. With the experience of the Gallipoli campaign still vividly in mind, Australians and New Zealanders strongly desired to be part of this landing force. As a result, members of the 7th Light Horse Regiment and Canterbury Mounted Rifles landed there on 5 December 1918.
Peacock, who found the wooden sign and signed his name at the bottom, was not one of these soldiers however. He was a businessman from Melbourne who traveled extensively in his work for the Australian YMCA. Shortly after seeing the last shots fired by the Allied guns at Vimy Ridge, in France, he arrived at Gallipoli to accompany the Australians.
Peacock collected the wooden sign from a wire fence the Turks had erected around the Shrapnel Valley Cemetery – now the resting place of over 500 Australians killed by the Ottoman guns and snipers that rained hell on the Anzacs' supply route in 1915. Peacock wanted the sign to be preserved as evidence that the Turks had "cared for our dead in a becoming manner".
Indeed they had. Not long after Peacock died, in 1934 the Turkish president Kemal Pasha (Atatürk), who had fought the Anzacs during the war, wrote a tribute to those that had died:
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.

I'll admit, I'm in a slump. This Haiti thing has sort of made me sick to my stomach, and last night I made the wretched decision to watch a foreign film in German on Netflix. My husband is out of town, and if there is ever a movie he would never consent to watch, it's a romantic chick flick that takes place in Hungary where everybody is speaking German. I figured a nice, interesting, subtitled foreign film love story would not only feed my starved intellectual soul, it would shake me out of my rut.
And I suppose it worked, if shivering under the covers over a story of untold tragedy involving Nazis, Hungarian Jews, Auschwitz and sickening betrayal counts.
So in my emotionally exhausted state, I turned to Anne Shirley.
She did a remarkable job of pulling me out of my rut. How can somebody be grumpy when you are reading about Anne baking a cake with liniment instead of vanilla (not that I really know what liniment is, but I imagine something medicinal and sour, and not at all like vanilla), and almost drowning until Gilbert Blythe comes to the rescue? And how can you not get giddy with delight when you imagine a Gilbert Blythe who looks like this:
I wonder, though, what causes these slumps to occur. Following the horrors of Haiti hasn't helped, and the overwhelming sense of helplessness mixed with the image of standing before my maker at Judgement Day and having no good answer to the question, "Why didn't you do more for my people in Haiti?" further compounds my particular sense of ennui.
But even without spectacular natural disasters, there are times I find myself practically crawling out of my skin with restlessness, and I'm hard pressed to find a reason for it. I blame all kinds of things–being a SAHM, keeping a house together while a husband does a crazy amount of traveling, lack of exercise, lack of spiritual study, the weather, watching Aladdin on repeat. Perhaps it is all of these things. Perhaps it is none of these things. The lack of a reasonable explanation makes the solving of it all the more perplexing.
So I wonder, what do the rest of you do? How do you get YOUR groove on? What helps you when you find yourself in these loops of languidity? (Can you tell I've been spending time with Anne Shirley? She's made me remember all kinds of words I haven't used since I was studying for the SAT.)
I stayed up well past my bedtime finishing the book, and then immediately put the miniseries into my Netflix queue. I also related my experience with the German movie to my husband, and he told me that I should have known better to think that any love story where Jewish people are speaking German would end well. I so hate it when he's right.
