GAA beginning to feel the pinch of uncontrolled emigration

Excuse me if I've come to be known as the weekly bearer of doom and gloom from Ireland, but there's so much about student emigration that's worth reporting on, and so little seemingly being done about it.
I found a few pieces from Ireland's newspapers this week that shed more light on what's becoming an unstoppable problem for Ireland.
Ranking them in order of misery and dismalness, this piece from the Irish Independent surely leads the field: the GAA is losing 250 players a week to emigration.
This is a fairly shocking fact. The gravity and scale of the emigration problem is perhaps better and more keenly felt when you limit the statistics to a certain group or class of people rather than just paint the picture in terms of the entire country, which makes it fairly difficult to get a grasp on just how many people are leaving when the numbers are so large.
That fact about the GAA is far from the worst of the statistics, though. The ERSI (Economic Research and Social Institute), widely regarded as Ireland's leading think-tank, has estimated that 100,000 young people will leave Ireland between Apr. '10 and Apr. '12 alone; that's a shocking amount that is in fact even worse than the recession of the '80s when the net outflow reached a mere 44,000, but in truth both are catastrophic figures.
Other countries are certainly beginning to take cognizance of this problem, which perhaps is not surprising giving the enormous scale of it. A Dutch television station is to make a documentary on the situation, according to this morning's Irish Examiner, but what's revealing about that is a quote from the documentary's maker which shows just how unusually strange and terrible our situation is: "In Holland people emigrate because they have to, in Ireland it's an economic necessity," the documentary maker says.
In Canada, a traditional stronghold of Irish emigrants, they're even offering a new visa which will make it easier for Irish emigrants to extend their stay in the country to a second year and perhaps even longer.
The point of all this wordage, besides to show how bad the problem is, is to highlight that nothing seems to be being done about this.
Student unions, such as the national USI, have made some tepid steps towards highlighting the situation, but this has amounted to little more than an angry march on Dublin city centre which saw a few arrests and the surfacing of allegations of police brutality, but nothing substantive was done, no commitments were made, and the problem remains as bad, or worse, than it ever was before.
Coming into the upcoming general election now is the time for Irish students to get on the backs of their local politicians and ask them what they propose to do to solve this problem.
The alternative is a very bad one.
Post-script: I noticed a Google video ad for Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny in the sidebar of Irish Central when editing this post. That in itself is a huge positive for me as a 22 year old voter. Neither Fianna Fail nor Labour have bothered to make anything more than perfunctory use out of social media which for me is a sign that they're out of touch with young people and how they're influenced. Use of social media should be preached as a fundamental when devising national election campaigns. I think that a party that ignores this crucial area is simply shooting itself in the foot...

Just talking to my daughter, who is on one of the one-year Australian holiday visas. It's possible to have it renewed for a further twelve months maximum if you undertake certain kinds of work (e.g. agricultural) but for most people that's it. The problem, it seems, is that you can only get casual work as a holiday visa holder and most such employers will not be able or willing to sponsor you, in most cases, for a more stable long-term position unless you have a qualification in special demand. The lack of a right to vote is a scandal but none of the main parties (including Labour) has ever been seriously prepared to extend voting rights to emigrants other than on a tokenistic basis

Do not expect any help from the politicans,the only thing they care about is getting elected.They would perfere all of Irelands youth leave.That way they give up their vote.Only Sinn Fein cares about its people who had to leave and would once again give them the right to vote.Think about it.

I fully agree with maceinri's last post. There is an option for visiting working people in Australia - to find a sponsor in order to stay on. Most good workers will be sponsored by appreciative employers.

@jacersagain I'd agree broadly with your analysis - we had substantial labour shortages from the late 1990s onwards (some of this arose because of the overheating of the economy by greedy developers and their political cronies in FF, a clearly unsustainable policy). Your point about Irish construction workers is a good one - what goes around comes around in the EU and by and large we have done well from the opportunities offered. Obviously if this country is prepared to welcome migrants - which is a quid pro quo for the many countries to which Irish people have gone - you don't just turf them out again at the first sign of trouble. People have lives to live and a xenophobic policy of exclusion would simply lead to similar action against Irish people elsewhere. Anyway it's not an option as freedom of movement is guaranteed with in the EU (the number of non-EU migrants in Ireland is now small and largely confined to people with specific skills in areas like the paramedical).
Theh only point I'd make as a comment on your point about Irish undocumented workers in the US is that the lobby (ILIR) has talked up the numbers beyond any credible threshold - it's a fraction of the much-claimed 50,000. There is a tendency in migration-related debates to toss figures around like snuff at a wake - most have no basis in fact.
On the Gap Year phenomenon, there is a major problem looming here, insofar as 22,000 Irish people went to Australia two years ago on working holiday visas. Staying in Australia as undocumented is just not an option and I have no idea where these people will go as their visas run out.

One thing Danny Boy didn't mention above is a huge number of the students leaving Ireland have chosen this time to do their Gap Year. The reason so many others leaving are so young is that they are the now-grown up products of the 'Snow Baby' years of 1977, '79 and '82 who can't afford, or get a mortgage, to buy a house. We should have seen this in the 80s when demand for school places rocketed and should have planned for their arrival into adulthood.

Wou'knee – the reason so many immigrants came to Ireland was two-fold. Our economy was booming so much we did not have enough people to do the work that was there to be done, so we imported people. Secondly, many African people came here as asylum seekers because of a rash of injustices taking place in their own countries at the same time. In 1995 and again in 2000, I forecast that we heading for such a boom that we would need to import people and therefore accommodation for them and hence a demand for building workers. The reason many emigrants have stayed, particularly Poles and Latvians, is because the minimum hourly rate of pay in Ireland is triple that in their own countries, so why should they go home when they have a EU right to stay in the jobs they got in the first place? Thousands of Irish construction workers went to Germany in the 90s when jobs were scarce here and Germany's economy was booming. It works all-round ways in the EU. Many bogus asylum seekers have been repatriated while the genuine ones remain and are now part of our social fabric. I agree on the illegal US immigrants, including Irish people stupid or desperate enough to become such – that is a sizzling time bomb USA will have to face up to sometime and the sooner the better.

maceinri, You don't win arguments by irrelevant insults. You've posted a lot here, but you never explained why so many immigrants were brought into Ireland. And why there're still there taking jobs that Irish could be doing, even though the Irish have the cheek to come here illegally looking for work that they could find in their own country.

Great arguments there Georgie boy!
'the catalyst of your 'eloguence' (try the dictionary, if you can read one) is Arthur Guinness'; 'your type of foulmouthed bigots'.
Couldn't you find a few actual _arguments_? You know, like, when you take a person's point of view and disagree with it, by putting forward reasoned and valid counter-points? Probably a bit old-fashioned for a whiz-kid.
I guess you're a Palin supporter (or is she too moderate) as well, or maybe you think the Rapture is imminent? How about Global Warming - sceptic or supporter?
Do try not to stay out so long in the sun - your brain has gone a bit soft!
Now, I've had enough of reading your rubbish. And no-one else is! bye

So macenri, in I don't know how many hundred words spread across half-a-dozen posts, you were incapable of offering one fact. Just line after line of blather and bombast. Confirms my suspicions. Your debating training is restricted to Saturday nites, and the catalyst of your eloguence is Arthur Guinness. Your type of foulmouthed bigots get your way in Ireland, where all scrutiny of Mass Immigration is censored, but your support of fat cats, big business and public parasites won't escape scrutiny on a free forum such as this. Seeing your inept performance it's easy to see why the Mass Immigrationists try to stifle all debate in Ireland.

We'll have to take macenri's word for it when he claims that his style of abusive loudmouth shouting is not a "skill" acquired in Saturday night bars. He sure argues like a drunken slob. It's all insult and abuse--absolutely no facts. Analyze what he writes. Are there any facts there? No. He tells us that Maurice Manning wrote a book. Wow! --mac thinks that entitles him to a 300.000 a year paycheck. Not for the book, though. Are these people in Ireland utterly crazy--Some nobody called Manning is pulling down 300k (our Supreme Court judges here in US don't even make 200k) and Mac thinks that's great. That convinces me that Mac is on a similar parasite paycheck--why else would he defend the absurdity of Manning making 300k, in a country that's broke, and when no one even knows what job he does? Parasites like Manning (and mac) are part of the problem in Ireland. Mac tells us he's an expert on immigration. Listen mac, you're no more an expert on immigration than you are on logic and good manners. The real experts on emigration are the Irish parents saying farewell to their sons and daughters, and the real experts on immigration are the Irish parents who have to take their children out of school because half the class don't speak English. Mac tells us he's a left-winger. Sure Mac, just like former Taoiseach Ahern was a socialist. You're no left-winger, Mac, you're a lousy fraud--you support Irish capitalism's plan of importing vast numbers of cheap foreign workers and exporting the young Irish. And in case any reader thinks that sounds outrageous, it is--but it's happening. Every month many thousands of foreign workers swarm into Ireland, even while thousands of young Irish leave the land of their forefathers. Mac, do Ireland a favor and join the ranks of the emigrants. On second thoughts--where would you go? No country needs to import a dishonest fool and charlatan.

Couple of points in response to GeorgeDillon's abusive and inaccurate rant. One, I'm not anti-American, I was merely extending a fool's pardon to you for your ignorance of Ireland and Irish affairs as there is no special reason why ordinary Americans would have a detailed knowledge of the matters which you so inaccurately address. Two, I'm not a paid lobbyist for anyone, but I do have a detailed knowledge of this field and have written and published extensively about it. Three, I don't know Maurice Manning but I do know what kind of a person he is – among other things he is a noted historian and former politician and wrote the first ground-breaking history of the Blueshirts in Ireland. Four, I have never voted SF or FF in my life and belong to the left, not the right, of the political spectrum.
And one other thing: a lot of Irish people, myself included, don't spend their time drinking in pubs. Maybe, instead of indulging in stereotyping like this, you could do a bit of reading before your next rant. My focus in my comments on you is on your utter ignorance and disgusting xenophobia, not your drinking habits.

Just saw the Irish immigration figures for January. Turns out over 4000 settlers arrived in Ireland in that month. Over 10% of these were Brazilian, an even higher percentage were Poles. (Hey, didn't our plucky pensioner sir peter on this site tell us that the Poles had all gone home?). Now this might not seem a lot, in American terms, till you remember that it's about equal (probably smaller than) the number of young Irish people who emigrated during the same time. Or, to put it another way, Ireland stands to repeat its 2010 figure of 70.000 foreign settlers (more settlers arrive during the summer months). The projections for emigration by Irish go as high as 100.000 in 2010. Huge numbers of Irish are leaving, while even huger numbers of foreigners are arriving!! What is happening is not the depopulation of Ireland, it's repopulation. It's Ethnosuicide, and lobbyists like Macenri get on here and do propaganda for it. Shame on him and his lousy Finna Fail friends. They've ruined Ireland.

I have reported maceinri's recent post, as it is abusive, ill-mannered, and dishonest.
Macenri, maybe that's the way you "debate" on a Saturday nite in the pub after 4 pints, but it won't pass muster here. To start with, Mac attacks me because I am American. Listen, mac, if you don't want to hear the opinions of Americans, what the hell are you doing on this site? It really sounds that Mac is himself part of one of the Immigration Lobby groups. Are you, mac? Are you a paid lobbyist for the settlement of Ireland by foreigners? I'm sorry (not) you're running out of funds, Mac, but with a Sugar Daddy like Chuck Feeney you'll be OK. What a stupid hypocrite you are, Mac—you object to Americans, but you suck up every cent that Chuck Feeney's outfit tosses your way.
How much is he paying you, Mac? And note how Mac defends his buddy Maurice Manning. Now this guy Manning will be unknown to American readers (and to Irish also, since he has never done anything of note) hut he currently—in a country that is broke and beggared—gets paid better than Barack Obama. For what, you may ask. Frankly, no one knows, but it seems to have something to do with whining periodically that foreign settlers in Ireland are being denied some "rights" that only Manning believes they are entitled to. As to Mac's utterly inane defense of Sinn fein, of course Sinn fein are in the pockets of the bosses and capitalists, since they are foremost in defending the capitalist project of settling Ireland with cheap foreign labor. In Gerry Adams' words "everyone is welcome here". In other words, no control of foreign migration to Ireland. You're an abusive reactionary, mac, but your kind of right-wing verbal intimidation certainly won't silence me or the countless Irish people who want a sane immigration policy. Go back and run with your right-wing Fianna Fail herd, mac, you have nothing but lies to offer Irish workers or their supporters abroad.

The various columnists I read on this website, with their various views, are usually interesting irrespective of whether one agrees with them or not. The comments are another matter. Judging by his spelling and phrasing, and his inability to spell words in Irish, 'GeorgeDillon' is American. It's a pity he doesn't inform himself about something before expressing views which are inaccurate and ignorant. It's a bit rich for him to refer to 'foreign interferers' (sic) as Atlantic - they are here on the ground in Ireland, doing good work, whereas 'GeorgeDillon' is talking through his rear end.
I don't know who the 'well-funded pressure groups' are - all the NGOs in the migration sector in Ireland are facing extremely serious financial challenges and much of the work they do is unpaid. I don't know what Maurice Manning earns, but he was appointed through due process to a body which owes its existence to the Belfast Agreement and which is there to ensure that some of the crasser kinds of prejudice and discrimination to found in Ireland (views as bigoted and those of 'GeorgeDillon') are mitigated through a proper complaints process.
Sinn Fein would no doubt be amused to hear themselves described as doing the bidding of capitalists and bosses, but it's just another illustration of 'GeorgeDillon's utter ignorance of Ireland and Irish affairs.
Finally, the logic of the 'GeorgeDillon' position is that the 1.3m Irish people born in Ireland but currently living in other countries should be kicked out and sent home.
'GeorgeDillon' should take a 101 course in Ireland before opening his mouth again. Better still, he should shut up; he has nothing of any value to say.

BMC invitation to 2010 International Sea Cliff Climbing Meet 05 Dec 2009
Sea cliffs offer some of the most enjoyable and adventurous 'trad' climbing in the British Isles. The granite cliffs of Cornwall in South West England were first explored by climbers more than a century ago, and the area has developed into a climbers' Mecca. There are well over 1,000 routes clustered around the western tip of the peninsula, providing not just the best concentration of granite climbing in Britain but also many 'three-star' classics on other rock types such as Greenstone and Killas Slate. There are quality routes in all grades from V Diff to E10, so something for everyone! Other attractions of the area include great pubs, Farmhouse Cream Teas and the famous Cornish pasty, so we expect to have a fantastic week's climbing and a lot of fun besides. If the Meet is over subscribed places will be reduced to one per Federation. Please do not make any bookings (flights, trains etc) until you have had confirmation of your places from the BMC. If you are from another country and would like to attend the Meet as an international guest then please contact your Federation. Invites were sent out to Federations at the beginning of December 2009. Further Information The BMC International Meets are truly memorable events and we very much hope your federation will be able to take part. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Share |

In the immortal words of Lurker..................Just curious? The Dodgers Suck. No Championships in 25 Years. HAHA
Re: Dodgers - Vince P or Joel B - Happy?
It's funny...I was talking about this with a buddy from work. Vince isn't happy. I wasn't happy about the Dodgers trade last year when my James the Man, #7 left and I won't be happy until the Dodgers win 3-4 World Series in a row and Vin Scully decides to come back for another couple of years. So Vince P will be a bitter young man until then. The thing with batting instructors, imo, is soooo overrated. True, statistically Mark (not a fan of his) supposedly did the Cardinal batters well, improving their averages and love. But imo, at this level, geez, you're either able to hit or not. Batting instructors are for Tee ball, not Proball. That being said, I can understand every now and then a player goes into a funk with their mechanics and needs a coach to let them know what's happening. But Mark, imo, opinion ain't gonna work no miracles – the Dodgers either will have it or they won't Vince P Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

The Desert Trek - 40 years
old this year and looking
it's absolute best
With another year comes another milestone in our ever-evolving story of timeless British design. The Desert Trek turns 40 and to celebrate it's sustained popularity from the West Country to the West Indies, we release three special edition Desert Treks for AW12.
To begin a series of features on our beloved Desert Trek, here's an introduction to the how the legend started…
Based on a style discovered in Holland by the wife of an acclaimed abstract artist, refined under the watchful eye of Lance Clark in Ireland, and originally named 'Six Toes', the genesis of Desert Trek is almost as unusual as its design. Combining Clarks' signature nature form last shape with a classic crepe sole and a raised centre seam, after its launch production in the USA alone went from 400 to 4000 pairs in just six months. And it wasn't only the distinctive styling that proved to be popular. For millions, the oil crisis of the early 1970s meant leaving the car at home and walking. Comfortable shoes were called for and
Desert Trek was the answer. Untouched by the passage of time, except for the occasional addition of a new colour or finish, Desert Trek approaches its fourth decade as popular
today as it's ever been.
The 40th birthday Desert Treks have been inspired by the original 1970s design and will be available in vintage leathers featuring a special version of our iconic Trek Man.
Until their arrival… check out our current SS12 Desert Treks here and read what Proper Magazine's article had to say on our AW12 collection here.

Namibia Hotel Reviews
Namibia's private camps, lodges, and other accommodations are often up to high international standards. Even deep at tented camps, there are en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, but don't expect TVs. Most private lodges are all-inclusive (Full American Plan), including transfers, meals, activities, and usually drinks. Camps offer at least two activities a day.
At the national park camps, self-catering (with cooking facilities) accommodations are basic, clean, comfortable, and much cheaper than private lodges outside the park. In Etosha each camp has a restaurant with adequate food, a shop selling basic foodstuffs and curios, a post office, a gas station, and a pool. Most rooms have private toilets, baths or showers, air-conditioning, a refrigerator, and a braai. Linens are provided. Some bigger bungalows have a full kitchen.
In Windhoek and Swakopmund, a large array of lodgings, from large upmarket hotels to intimate boutique hotels and family-run B&Bs, are yours to choose from. All urban lodging rates include breakfast, but rarely any other meals.

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall hails his team's 45-0 away victory over Edinburgh as 'vitally important'
10:12am Monday 15th October 2012 in Sport By Tom Allnutt
Director of rugby Mark McCall hailed his side's 45-0 thrashing of Edinburgh at Murrayfield in the Heineken Cup on Saturday as "vitally important".
Five tries saw the Men in Black cruise past a lacklustre Edinburgh outfit who were never in contention to win the match.
McCall admitted tricky games are yet to come in the competition but insisted wins on the road are all-important.
"The history of this competition shows that away wins are vitally important, so to get the away win with a bonus point was huge to us," McCall said.
"We have a difficult game against Racing next week. It's the pivotal game in the group, but this was a great start for us.
"Credit to our players because I thought they did a really good job. We were difficult to play against.
"What pleased me was that we kicked on and played some really good rugby in the second half. We scored some good tries and a lot of our players played really well today."
Saracens will be hoping to build on their strong start in the Heineken Cup when they make another away trip, this time to Brussels where they take on Racing Metro on Saturday.

2 Meetup Groups match "Lockpicking" near Brooklyn, NY
NYC's only 'locksport' meetup. The model for this group is: guided, hands-on, tutorials in 'lock bypass' --at least once every month. In intervening weeks; practice, practice, practice! Optional weekly meetings for whoever wishes to hang out and 'compare tradecraft'. We're not limited to just lockpicking; any form of urban subterfuge, prank, or trickery is to our interest!
This group will be a haven for DIY and Open Source software/hardware enthusiasts to learn new things, make cool projects and share their skills/knowledge. The only requirement to join the group is the ability to learn new things. Expect classes in LAMP programming, Arduino, PCB Design (Eagle), lockpicking, beer brewing, soldering, painting, drawing, silkscreening and a whole lot more. We are a hackerspace/makerspace.
Get an alert email when new Meetup Groups like this start near you.
You'll get advice, help finding members, and tools to make running a Meetup Group easier.

Most of us could use some tips for trailer hitching. Let's face it: few boaters can get the trailer and the truck linked up on the first try. Few, as in none.
The most common trailer hitching method consists of: backing up, getting out and checking the distance, then backing up more, getting out and checking again. Then we back up still more, until the tailgate smacks into trailer tongue. Next comes pulling forward, and cursing.
If you're tired of putting scratches and dings on your tailgate and bumper and you wish you didn't have to get in and out of the truck 32 times every time you hitch up, use these tips.
- The chock method: when you de-couple the trailer, place a chock behind the rear driver's side tire of your truck. Then leave it there, permanently. When it's time to re-hitch, just back up to the chock and you'll be all set.
- Measure with your feet. Literally. After backing into the general vicinity of the hitch pace off the number of feet between the hitch and ball. Then walk to the back of the truck's driver side door, and pace off the same distance. Mark the spot with a leaf or twig, jump in the truck, and back up until your mark is at the back of the door.
- Add a guide, like the V-shaped Couple-Mate, to your ball hitch. As long as you can get within a foot of the trailer tongue, the guide slides it into position over the ball.
- Add a forward-facing mirror to your jack stand or bow stop (just make sure it's tall enough to see over your tailgate). That way, you can watch as your ball approaches the hitch.
- Stop taking the trailer off of the truck, in the first place. This is our favorite method – why would you want to go anywhere without your boat, anyway?!
BONUS TRAILER HITCH TIP: Give all the moving parts of the hitch, as well as the top of the ball, a spritze of WD-40 at least once a season. You'll be amazed at how much easier this makes it to couple and de-couple the trailer.
EXTRA DOUBLE BONUS TRAILERING TIP: Always criss-cross the chains under the trailer tongue. If for some reason the hitch comes off the ball while you're towing, the crossed chains will support the tongue and prevent it from digging into the roadway.

Observations on commemoration
By Christina Zaba Published 11 July 2005The young air cadets lining the route looked cold, but they were doing a good job of standing straight with their flags, honouring those passing before them into the village church in Long Ashton, Somerset. The Royal British Legion, the Polish Ex-Combatants Association, military representatives and the people of the parish: the church could hardly hold them all. Later, there was a stillness in the graveyard as the crowd gathered around a modest plaque to pay tribute.
Roughly 60 years earlier, in November 1944, a mighty explosion had shaken this village, bringing the men from their cottages with their children running behind. Narrowly missing the church, a Halifax bomber had crashed in the next field. As flames swirled in the cockpit, two of the seven young airmen inside briefly tried to smash their way out. The men outside frantically sent for axes, but the intense heat drove them back.
The airmen were Poles, far from home. In this part of England at that time, where "home" still meant living out your life in the lanes where your father and grandfather had walked, no one understood what they were doing here. But the men of Long Ashton trusted the evidence of their eyes and they swore to remember those airmen. They were being more radical than they knew.
As thousands of veterans gather in London to mark National Commemoration Day on 10 July, the day chosen to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, one group will be there for the first time. Although nearly 250,000 Polish servicemen fought under British command, not one marched in the Victory Parade of June 1946. Not a soldier, though they'd won Monte Cassino; not a sailor, though they'd fought in the naval battle at Narvik in Norway; not a pilot, though historians generally agree that without the Polish airmen who flew in the Battle of Britain, it could not have been won. Polish combatants stood and watched as soldiers of other nations marched proudly by.
Then they found themselves with no home to go to. On 6 May 1945, King George VI had written to the president of the Polish Republic: "The gallant Polish soldiers, sailors and airmen have fought beside my forces in many parts of the world . . . In particular, we in this country remember with gratitude the part played by Polish airmen in the Battle of Britain." In February that same year, however, at the Allied conference in Yalta, Winston Churchill and Franklin D Roosevelt had given in to Stalin and allowed a thick black line to be drawn across Europe.
Poland was on the Soviet side, and it was soon clear that, for the men who had fought so hard, return would mean imprisonment or worse. The "gallant Polish soldiers" were beached by history, unable to go home, unheard by anyone much. As the decades passed and they became naturalised in Britain, they got used to it, but they held stubbornly to their story.
They were not wholly forgotten. Ordinary people continued to remember, albeit in a fragmentary and cryptic way. Ralph Ogbourne was a boy of seven the day the bomber crashed in Long Ashton. Years later, Polish people came looking for the graves, but they weren't there. "The bodies were put in the old vicarage, then moved to a cemetery in Newark," he explains. "But we wanted to remember them here. That's why we put up a memorial plaque."
It took a bit of doing. "We all thought it was a German plane at first," says his friend Ron Chorley, 71. "It was ten years before we realised they were Poles. Thirty years later, we had a great hoo-ha with the ecclesiastical authorities before they agreed to the plaque. Since then, we've been having the memorial services, and we've started an association of local Polish families with the church.
"We've always been led to believe that those airmen sacrificed their lives to save the village - I saw the plane circling on fire myself, and she just missed the church. They were our allies. We need to remember what they did."
The government has begun to catch up. With many veterans now elderly and frail, there will be no marching at the weekend. But besides the service at Westminster Abbey and lunch at Buckingham Palace, 240 Polish veterans will attend the ceremonies in Horse Guards Parade with full honour. Feelings will run deep.
"The Polish veterans have nursed a sense of betrayal for a long time," explains Graham White, co-ordinator of the Polish participation in the events. "Like all exiles, many of them still feel that home is somewhere else, though they also know that the home they remember stopped existing long ago. These VE Day commemoration events will heal the wound - up to a point . . . I know that Her Majesty wants it to be this way, and the Ministry of Defence has been working hard to get it right."
I am an Englishman who believes that we owe a debt of honour to the Polish forces who fought for us and I am researching one aspect of this history as shown below
My Main interest in this squadron is the Vickers Wellington Mk1c (R1268 NZ – T) and its crew, which crashed on 14th December 1940, at Edmondsley, about 5 miles (8Km) west of Durham City, England. Witnesses said the pilot made a hard right evasive turn to avoid crashing into West Edmondsley farm house, which is a listed building. Apart from the people in it, being listed means that it is a historically important building. The aircraft then crashed into trees on high ground and ended up in a stream.
The unusually small crew of 4 all survived, all injured, three of them quite seriously. They were taken back to the farm house, using an old door as a stretcher. They were given initial help by the local village doctor then sent to Chester le Street Hospital before being transferred to York Military Hospital.
I have 2 names: M Kostuch and Jan Stanislaw Waroczewski (who were both Flying Officers). I would love to know the other crew members names and anything abut them. JS Waroczewski returned to operational flying but, sadly, was killed when his aircraft was shot down on 28th May 1941. He was on a bombing mission to Boulogne, France, when his Wellington (R1392) was hit by flak. One crew member baled out and was killed – his body was never found – but the pilot fought bravely and regained control of the plane and brought it back to England. Two more crew baled out and survived but the Wellington crashed, killing F/O Waroczewski and the 2 remaining crew members, near Darwen Hole, Brightlingsea, Sussex, England. The 3 dead were brought back to their home base, RAF Syerston (Nottinghamshire) and buried in Newark Cemetery – which was the original burial place of Polish national hero, General Sikorski. F/O Waroczewski is also remembered on panel 75 of the War Memorial at RAF Northolt.
My interest arose becose R1268 crashed just outside my home village and I would like it to be incorporated into local history "Czesc ich pamieci". I hope I have got the spelling right because I believe we British owe a debt of honour to all the Poles who fought for us, especially after the disgraceful way the Poles were treated after the War. All decent Englishmen apologise for the actions of our political forefathers.
If you can give me any information about 304 Squadron, its menand its machines, I would be very grateful, especially for photographs with identified personnel.

text: Massage Today October, 2008, Vol. 08, Issue 10 Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) By Ruth Werner, LMP, NCTMB I love when readers e-mail me with suggested topics for future articles, particularly when the topic allows me to discuss how massage can help manage a condition that may not be familiar to the majority of massage therapists. The following is one such e-mail I recently received: Naturopathy Digest Event Calendar. Dear Ms. Werner, I have a topic for one of your future articles: I have a client that has a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. She is 47 years old and was originally diagnosed with arthritis in her hips when she was a preteen. She reports she always has had trouble with her joints dislocating. Now that she has a confirmed diagnosis of the syndrome, I am unsure how to help her. Her muscles attaching to the major joints get very tender due to trying to keep her joints from dislocating. I don't feel comfortable giving her range of motion because I don't want to dislocate a joint (and she is not comfortable with it, either) and I work very, very gently at stretching the muscles once the congestion has been broken up and flushed out and the adhesions have been loosened. How can I help her on a long-term basis? I hope you can address this issue in one of your columns. I'm sure other massage therapists would benefit from your knowledge as it pertains to this and other connective tissue disorders. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: What Is It? Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is one of a group of genetic connective-tissue disorders. In EDS patients, a genetic mutation (or a combination of them) causes the body to produce faulty collagen, elastin or other extracellular matrix. Its a fairly rare disease, affecting only one to two people out of 10,000. About 50,000 people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with EDS, but it occurs on a wide continuum of severity, so mild cases might not be recognized until the gene is passed on to children in a more extreme form. What Happens? When the genes that control connective tissue production malfunction, the result is that our fascia, tendons, bones and the scaffolding that essentially holds us together dont have appropriate strength or resilience. Consequently, joints might be hypermobile and prone to arthritis, the skin might be delicate and stretchy, and wounds tend to heal slowly and poorly. In some cases, the connective tissue of the eye may be compromised, leading to detached retina, myopia, and changes in the globular shape of the eyeball. Perhaps the most dangerous consequence of EDS is damage to the valves of the heart. Mitral valve prolapse is more common among EDS patients than in the rest of the population. Types of EDS EDS is a result of a variety of genetic anomalies. Up to 11 different subtypes have been identified, but they usually are grouped by a primary symptom rather than by the exact location of the genetic defect. Classic EDS shows skin that is fragile and heals slowly with excessive scar tissue. Joints are poorly supported and prone to injury. Hypermobility EDS involves a high risk of joint dislocations, pain and arthritis. Vascular EDS is a serious and extreme form. It affects the connective tissue of the blood vessels, heart and other structures, including the gastrointestinal tract. Complications with this type can include aneurysm or rupture of blood vessels. Other types of EDS are much more rare and can involve problems ranging from hyperkyphosis to easily dislocated hips to extremely loose and saggy skin. Treatment and Massage EDS is treated according to symptoms or related problems. Basic coping strategies include learning good movement and postural habits to preserve joint function; avoiding contact sports or activities that might stretch joints beyond a healthy range of motion; and taking special care of skin wounds. Massage and bodywork are appropriate for people with EDS as long as the cardiovascular system is healthy and hypermobility of the joints is respected. The delicacy of the skin also might be an issue, and these patients are prone to bruising. As my correspondent experienced with her client, the muscles that cross hypermobile joints are likely to be excessively tight, as they take on the duty of joint stabilizers. Stretching joints (especially hips and shoulders) to the full extent of their range is probably not appropriate, and care should be taken for how clients are positioned on the table to avoid stressing these areas. Massage certainly will not reprogram defective genes so connective tissue becomes stronger. However, if it is carefully applied and limitations in range of motion and skin health are respected, it can be a wonderful additional strategy to deal with the chronic joint pain and muscle spasm that frequently accompany this disorder. For next time: The floor is open. We could look at other connective-tissue disorders related to genetic mutation, like Marfan syndrome, muscular dystrophy or osteogenesis imperfecta. Or we could pick up an entirely new topic it all depends on what shows up in my inbox. So let me know: Whats on your table? Resources 1. Ceccolini E. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

1940 hudson
I purchased a 1940 hudson three pass. coupe about 6 months ago. A really great car. I put over a thousand miles on it this summer going to car shows.
I was told that it was a rare auto. It has 88 thousand miles on it and the interier is still in good condition. it has a radio,heater and wind-up clock that all work. Not sure what has been done to the body other then a paint job. A very solid car. It has a jump seat in the back Can anyone tell me if there is a book anywere that gives the production numbers for 1940???. All I can find is that there was about 88 thousand total produced.
Also is there a way to tell if it is a 175 CI engine or a 212?? The s/n on the door post is4087179 but I can't find the number on the engine I looked were it was supposed to be (on the cylinder block between the #1 and #2 exhust manifold) ,It looks smooth as if it was never there. I would like to rebuild the engine but don't know which rebuild kit to buy.
I hope this makes since as being new to Hudson ,I may have a lot of questions as time goes by. My last old car was a 54 vette but in the short time I have had my Hudson I have done more with it and enjoyed it more then I did in the 6 years I had my vette. THANKS in advance for any help you can give me.

Welcome to Hudson ownership. I do not want to 'steal others thunder' but you will find everything you need to know about your Hudson on this Site in a few days thanks to many members efforts at compiling records.
I personally can echo your comments about your Hudson garnishing more interest than a Corvette. I strongly recommend Joining the Hudson Essex Terraplane Club (www.hudsonclub.org) as another great resource.
The HET Club is one of the largest world wide Auto Clubs and publishes a bi-monthly colorful Magazine for members (White Triangle News) that has many Tech Tips, Feature stories, and a large Classified section. Currently the WTN editor, Sam Jackson, is offering a complementary WTN Magazine on another Thread in this Forum (Sam also owns a '40) Look for Free WTN Thread...

Production numbers for Hudsons are hard to come by because most records were destroyed when Hudson merged with Nash. I think the rebuild kit is the same for 175 and 212 engines because the difference between them is in the stroke (4 1/8 vs 5 inchs).
The only difference in the engines are the crankshaft, rods, and cylinder head. You will have to get all the bearings re-metalled and machined if you are rebuilding the motor. Having never seen a '40 model I don't know what distinguishing marks would have identified the short stroke motor. Unfortunately the Master parts interchange book only gives the starting serial number of all "40" series cars. Perhaps there is a part number on the head? If so that should be a starting point.
Geoff.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging. -
Hi---I could be wrong, but because your serial number does not incorporate a letter along with the numbers in it, I believe it has a 3X5 engine.---Cliff Minard.

No it is the other way around, if got a letter in the serial number, it has the 3x5 engine. I say this car originally had a 175, but who knows what its got now. -
Hudson40 ,
Go to page 3 (or 4) in this Forum to find 'Coolant Capacity' Thread. In the reply you will find a Link to Factory Records compiled & posted by Alex Burr that may answer some of your Hudson questions -
:Welcome to the forum and the gang.Lots of great people and information with tons of knowledge and encouragement.. If your '40 has an overdrive transmission, the engine should be a 212. Also there will be a letter along side the vin number if it is a 212. Hope this helps. Arnie
Welcome to wonderful world of Hudsoning! Don't know where all the '40 owners are at but they should chime in eventually to help you out.
The 175 c.i. motor in 1940 came in the Traveler model. If memory serves me well, the compression ratio of the Traveler motor is cast into the head. If it has 7.00 (or maybe 7.25) cast into it, then the motor MIGHT be a 175. Quite a few 212 owners have swapped their lower compression heads for these hi-comp heads. BTW the '39 112 had the 175 motor and it had '112' cast into the head.

Beaut:)! From the looks of things you live in California:). You have a digital camera:). I like you so far:p. Could you run down to the beach ;)and take some pics for me:D? It seems that there are some things in California that ain't quite like here in Kansas City:eek::eek::eek:....
Thanks for posting the picture,Sam. I tried but haven't figured out how to reduce the size so I can send it. Thanks for the compliments. Its amazing how many people don't know that it is a hudson or how many young-ins have never heard of hudson. Its not what I remember hudsons looking like when I was a kid. I remember the late 40's and 50's models. Thats why I grabbed the 40, a lot different then I had seen before. Had an uncle that swore that hudson was the only car made.
Sorry I can't get any pictures of the beach. Not much water in southern NM, but pretty nice weather

Sorry guys, I must be grtting old .I had a question to ask but forgot to ask it in my last post. I have a standard trany w/o overdrive. The rear seal is leaking pretty bad. I found a seal to replace it with and have dropped the driveshaft. There is a flange on the rear of the trany. If I take the bolt off ,will the flange pull out or is it attached to something inside the trany???
I don't want to get in over my head and wind up having to pull the whole thing. Thanks in advance for all your help. What a great bunch of guys and a whole wealth of information Best regards hudson40 -
Take the bolt out and the yoke will come out. Pry the old seal out and install the new one.
Thanks Billy , First thing in the morning,I will have it done.
