There is no doubt about the seriousness of the current issues in breeding and welfare of purebred dogs. This was highlighted in the Pedigreed Dogs Exposed documentary which showed how some practices have negatively impacted on dog’s health and welfare.
These practices which put form (how a dog looks) over function (what a dog can do) has meant some breeds have seen an increase in severe negative consequences on the dog’s quality of life.
For more than a century the traditional system used in purebred dog breeding has resulted in the restriction of gene pools, the selection of some dogs with inadequate regard to their or their progenies health and welfare and sometimes the desire to win championships taking priority over health and welfare issues and causing these negative consequences.
The Master Dog Breeders and Associates has listened to debates about who is to blame for the situation and we don’t believe that possible solutions tendered by traditional systems and Canine Registries are the answer to the problem. If things are done the same as they have always been done then little will change and dogs will still suffer.
We are determined to be part of the solution and we always have the focus on what is best for dogs over and above any other objective and we deliver new, innovative, practical and exciting solutions to move our breeders and our breeds into the future.
1. Our breeder member application and approval system.
Our entry process ensures any breeder member applicants share our objectives and will always focus on what’s best for their dogs. We screen them to find out their motivations and how they think and feel about their dogs and dogs in general. We examine their goals, their management plans and breeding plans to ensure that they do not compromise on what is best for their dogs. We believe that getting the right people involved will lead to producing only the best dogs with their welfare at the core of any decisions.
We know that individuals general attitude to dogs reflect on how they treat their own dogs. People who genuinely love dogs, see them as part of a family, who see them as needing love, attention, comfort, care and socialisation are less likely to compromise on their breeding dog’s living conditions.
Breeders who have this outlook and attitude to dogs are less likely to compromise on the homes they choose for their puppies nor compromise on decisions they make, regardless of other’s opinions. Their primary focus is on the health and welfare of their dogs. They do not make decisions that would impact negatively on their dogs nor would they breed dogs with the sole purpose of making money. It is people with this attitude and outlook that we want as our members and our application and screening process is designed to identify them.
Our breeder members agree to deliver genuinely high welfare standards and place their primary focus on what is best for their dogs. Their stated goal is to breed healthy happy puppies now and for future generations without any compromise in the quest for ribbons, conformity or money. This sets them apart from other dog breeders. We believe such breeders should be rewarded for their stance and we help identify them to their peers, the public and in the market place for their efforts, and achievements in their chosen field.
When a breeder member applicant is approved they can apply for a kennel prefix. We do not have an exam, inspection or wait period as our application process is thorough. Our breeder members can begin breeding and registering their dogs and puppy’s pedigrees as soon as they are approved.
We have checks and balances in place to ensure that through the course of their membership our members continue to uphold our values. Their puppy buyers get free MDBA membership which ensures our breeders are accountable and responsible. The puppy buyers become MDBA Smart Dog Owner Club members and have our support in the rare event that something goes wrong.
Our members know that the MDBA expects high standards and ethics and understand that one bad breeder can have enormous impact on the entire MDBA fraternity. The MDBA will take swift action when required if any breeder is reported to us and after investigation we find they are not compliant with our codes and regulations.
We help our members to excel by empowering them with education, resources, communication, and support to increase their skills and knowledge to change the world for dogs. By making a positive difference to their knowledge base and practices we show how a standard of excellence in dog breeding, dog ownership and canine care is achievable if they focus on what’s best for dogs.
We provide a wide range of courses to help breeders become more knowledgeable and to be recognised for their studies in their field.
We provide a variety of methods to keep our members informed and supported, we encourage our members to participate in open discussion, be innovative, to think outside the square and to challenge traditional practices, conventions and methods that may not be in the dog’s or the breed’s best interest.
4. Provision of an alternate pedigree stud registry.
The MDBA registry is different from the traditional registries in two major areas.
a. We not only record a dog’s ancestors and any championships, we also record the dog’s DNA and health results; any recognised achievements, the working heritage of the dog’s ancestors, the dog’s ancestor’s temperament and idiosyncrasies. Our pedigrees have all of this information on them for all to see.
By showing this detailed information on the pedigree it allows our breeders to make breeding decisions based on correct information and science and ensures negative genetic and heritable issues are less likely to be passed from parent to offspring. It gives puppy buyers a good indication of the health and temperament of their puppy and demonstrates that the puppy’s breeder had detailed information when selecting their puppy’s parents. It also demonstrates that the breeder places a priority on health and temperament in their breeding program and is trying to reduce the risks associated with breeding and owning a living being.
b. Our stud books for all breeds are open where it can be demonstrated that the addition of a dog into the gene pool is in the best interest of the breed. An open stud book helps increase the genetic diversity of the breeds. This can be a dog of the same breed without papers, or with papers which are not recognised by traditional registries, or with limited register papers, or a dog of a different breed (Where this has been done as with the LUA Dalmatians, it has been done to counteract the high uric acid problem that affects all Dalmatians). By opening our stud books we provide greater choices for breeders to make in their breeding programs and we increase the genetic diversity within the breed’s genepool.
Breeders can register their dogs on the MDBA stud registry in addition to registering them with traditional registries. This helps them track more ancestry information than the traditional registries provide.
Some breeders only use the MDBA stud registry as they do not want to use traditional registries. Our registry is also open for breeders to register dogs of breeds in development.
The ability to have a predictable dog to share you and your family's life is the main attraction and benefit for people who wish to own a dog of a particular breed.
To attain this predictability, breed standards are introduced as a breed is developed to give breeders guidelines and goals to aim for so that all dogs in the group will look the same and have the same management requirements.
The majority of breed standards were written over 100 years ago and have changed very little since then. Some were submitted and accepted without regard for how the conformation may negatively impact on a dogs quality of life. Problems have developed over time as breeders and judges have favoured a particular type that they thought was more attractive or that was more likely to win a ribbon at the time. This can have a negative impact on a dogs quality of life and can develop into more exaggerated physical features which is now seen in some breeds.
The MDBA believe that breeding toward a standard is important for attaining predictability however, whilst we encourage our breeders to breed toward producing dogs which are good representatives of their breed, without moving toward selection of extremes and without compromise on health, temperament and a dog's quality of life.
6. Encouraging more people to become MDBA registered breeders.
The more people who become involved in the breeding of purebred dogs in an ethical, responsible manner with the primary focus on what is best for dogs the better the outcome is for the breeds.
If you share our belief that we can all make a difference to dogs lives, agree with our philosophy of focusing on what’s best for dogs and agree with our Code of Conduct then you too could become a MDBA member and set yourself apart from others in your chosen field.

As a person of faith and creativity, I have searched all my life for the one creative passion that truly makes me feel that way. When Chariots of Fire came out in 1981, my passion was screenwriting. When Chariots of Fire won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1982, I cried I was so moved that a movie so close to my heart would win. I never sold my own screenplay, but I continued my writing for many years, adding blogging and I have two books in the works.
A part of my most passionate creativity had been long neglected. Since I was a young child, it has always been art: drawing, watercolor and ink. I was accepted as an art major at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1971. Personal issues kept me from attending college at that time.
I attended college 10 years later, after being in the business world. My interests were dominated by writing and speech. My major was communications. I doodled my way through every business meeting and every college class, but the writing bug had me then and I was determined to hone those skills, which I did for the next 30+ years.
In the summer of 2013, a friend introduced me to acrylics on a super fun weekend and art once again had my heart! That gal is a fellow artist and believer, Heather Jeanette Siebens of Believe2ShineDesigns.
I set up a studio in my office. I just let my creativity run free. I experience terrific joy when I paint. The Bride of Christ Bouquets are the signature pieces of my company: Bride of Christ Bouquet Art. They are based on my spiritual and artistic imagination. I imagine what a bouquet would look like carried by the believers, “Christ’s Bride” to the wedding of Jesus and His Church as foretold in the book of Revelation, the last book in the bible.
This has led me to a whole arena of paintings based on scripture, many of them floral in nature because I love to paint flowers! I also paint fun floral and have one very traditional floral on my site I painted that I did for my husband who was wondering if I could paint the way I used to paint. I can but I feel more joy in painting in a more free form style.
Eric Liddell had a unique running style if you remember from the film. He threw his head back so he could not even see where he was running and just flew. That is how I feel when I paint. I just go. I throw my heart into my art and pray. I say, “God show me where to go with this piece.” I feel such joy that sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry, sometimes I dance and often I just smile really wide.
I market my paintings on my own website http://brideofchristbouquetart.com and I have a Facebook page. I am looking into marketing them on Etsy.com, I have more dreams for this art that has been gifted to me. Dreams I plan on making a reality with the help of my friend ~ the One who when I paint ~ I feel His pleasure!
Thank you Libby for being our first painter guest blogger. Your paintings are bright and make me smile. So glad you agreed to share with us!

Vincent Van Gogh created two famous paintings featuring luminous night skies: The Starry Night and Starry Night Over the Rhone. These vibrant, expressive paintings are among his most celebrated works, created during the last couple of years before he took his own life in 1890. Both are predominantly blue canvases with bold yellow stars lighting up the scenes. Van Gogh used oil paints, but you can use acrylic if you prefer, for a similar effect.
Paint the entire canvas with a medium shade of blue. It's easier to paint the details when you're working over top of a color than a blank white canvas.
Sketch the background outlines with a thin paintbrush. Draw the lines of the hills, the village, the wind swirls and the moon.
Mix a few shades of blue and begin filling in the sky, hills, and village. Don't worry about getting the colors perfect--Van Gogh often let the paint mix on the canvas, rather than mixing the exact colors he wanted on his palette.
Add a couple of shades of green to the canvas, filling in the trees that surround the village.
Paint the moon and a few stars with a rich, golden shade of yellow. Make the stars simple yellow circles. Take the same shade of yellow and add a bit of white paint. Use this lighter shade to paint a glow surrounding the moon and each star.
Use shades of brown and gray to paint the village buildings, adding yellow afterward to paint the lit-up windows.
Complete the sky, hills and trees by painting a series of small white and blue brush strokes, giving the painting a dynamic energy and overall feeling of movement in an otherwise calm night scene. The lines in the sky should flow around the glow of the stars and moon in circular motions.
Sketch the large foliage in the foreground on the left side of the canvas over top of the sky. Paint it a dark shade of forest green with a medium-brown outline.
Evaluate your painting against Van Gogh's work if you wish to follow his as closely as possible. However, your interpretation can be as unique as you like, using different colors and adding or taking away elements of the painting as you see fit. You may wish to paint a version with your own town as the backdrop, including simple outlines of a few major landmarks.

William Shakespeare's Hamlet is a tragedy, and that makes Hamlet a tragic hero; however, it is important to identify the characteristics common to Shakespeare's tragic heroes before writing your thesis statement.
First of all, Hamlet suffers from a fatal flaw, a weakness in his character which eventually causes his downfall. Unlike the characters in an Aristotelian tragedy, Hamlet is aware of his flaw virtually from the beginning of the story, adding to the sense of tragedy. We know that Hamlet's character flaw is indecision, as we watch him waver and vacillate time after time about whether to take action or not. In one sense we admire Hamlet for this, as he clearly recognizes and values human life enough to be sure he is not killing the wrong person. In another sense, we ask ourselves exactly how much evidence he needs before he will finally take some action. It is a rather frustrating journey to see him so resolved at times and then back away from his resolution.
Second of all, Hamlet is in a position of power, as the son (and nephew and stepson) of a king, which again means his fall from nobility is more tragic than a fall from a lower social position would be. Though it means nothing to Hamlet, he has been named as Claudius's successor, establishing Hamlet's position as the Prince of Denmark.
Third, Like many of Shakespeare's tragic heroes, Hamlet succumbs to the pressures of other people, not all human, who help advance his downfall. In Hamlet, those characters would certainly be Claudius, Polonius, the Ghost and his so-called friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Each of these characters is determined, well intentioned or not, to deter Hamlet from his purpose. Polonius is a distraction both because of his infernal butting-in and because he is Ophelia's father; though he pays for that, he contributes to Hamlet's inactions and is in the wrong place when Hamlet finally does act. Hamlet's rather bumbling friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, are another distraction; he is certainly willing to have them killed because of their cumbersome and traitorous meddling. Claudius is an obvious nemesis from the beginning; the Ghost certainly influences Hamlet.
Finally, Hamlet has opportunities to save himself but does not do so--or does not do so in time--which leads directly to his death. How often did Hamlet think he was ready to kill Claudius but then could not act, sometimes for good reason and sometimes just because of his flawed indecision. His fatalistic view is part of this point.
Your thesis must encapsulate your thinking (which will be reflected in the rest of your essay) about Hamlet as a tragic hero. You and I would probably agree on most of these basic issues regarding Hamlet as a tragic hero; however, what is up for debate between us is whether we find Hamlet's flaw admirable or weak (see first point above). Once you decide that for yourself, you can write your thesis.
In Hamlet, Shakespeare gives us a character who knows his flaw but is unable to overcome it because of his own indecision as well as the interference of others.
Hamlet is a tragic hero whom we both pity and admire as he falls from his high place due to his own inaction.
Write a thesis which matches how you feel and what you will write about Hamlet.

Rae Armantrout’s Versed, both the product and producer of intense concentration, never lies down — no matter what the scope, no matter how I define the perimeters of the elements of the book, whether limiting my attention to the poems, the series of poems, or the segments that comprise the poems. When I seek to identify the found or source material cobbled within or the vividly panned landscapes and environs of southern California that act not so much as metaphor, but as sign posts that draw my attention outward, other elements compel me toward the interior. The sparse lines incapable of explaining the collection’s gravity, the text functions as a singularity ballasted by dark matter(s), and all the elements, the parts and wholes, contained in this intensely formal book silently demand.
The poem warns other poets and readers of what they will not find here. Here, in lean, exquisitely crafted poems, logic and paradox contend provisionally. The poet and reader do not meet so much as engage at the same site.
Aphorism and truth telling, what we might expect in a spare poem, serve as components within a device in which the parts, their boundaries fluid, provide gaps between which I peer, or experience a release and the passage in time mimicked in logical and affective leaps, the distances between the parts present. This relation to the text as signs of affect or sound or semantic resonance afford an experience and thrill far from exhausted within me.
And wonderfully, whatever methods constructed this book, chance appears absent. When chance predominates a text I demand that it pass the Turing Test and prove itself human. Never did I feel that the assembly of fragments and source material was a mere cut and paste operation. The precision of an expert and knowing hand, the making of a precise overdetermining machine that generates experience, rather than transmitting affective states or data, presents itself like a genetic algorithm that asks, “what about all this writing,” and answers with more writing. The effects glut my ability to sort.
The title “Versed” puns on general mastery and poetics, or perhaps more importantly the concerns of the line versus the prose poem. The titles of the poems themselves could be titles for a computational linguistics textbook: “Versed,” “Fetch,” “Address,” “A Resemblance,” “Outer,” “Operations,” “Name Calling,” “Guess,” “Locality,” “Amplification,” “Dilation,” etc. Amid bitter proscription — “Are you turned on/by chimeras?” — the whole series performs an impassioned & sometimes dogged engagement of language, of verse.
by emitting a mock distress call.
An indictment of false closure found in so many lyric poems and so much a part of the lyric tradition, is reiterated but tempered with a compassion and understanding of the difficulty, perhaps impossibility, of escape from the demands of genre seemingly bound to social and biological imperative. Whether as palliative or cure pointers barb outward to “real” matters, to the absurdities, joy and bitterness of living and with those barbs, those pointers, the formal infuses the “real” and vice versa.
This last segment of “Around,” the first poem in the series “Dark Matter,” may seem like a summary or closure of the lyrical or sardonic observations about the passage of time, of mortality and death, but the concerns with the constraints of language, how we are limited by the metaphors and construction of language eclipse those apparent topics. In the previous section of the poem someone seeks a place to lay their ashes, guided by a hyper-capitalist through a ruined paradise “..shown through/ by a sort of realtor” while a companion considers the snorkeling that might be done nearby. Here the limits of intimacy, of self-interest, of property and, we imagine, the continent reflect the limits of language to address this kind of end.
Throughout the book doubt assaults, questions limit, but even in this negativity language offers a kind of transcendence, not through sophistry but through wonder.
Such powerful language, reflects Armantrout’s deep engagement with the ethical concerns of intimacy and finally invites, challenges and welcomes return.

Kevin Garnett talks trash. The league should do nothing about it.
If you’ve ever sat near the court for a Kevin Garnett Celtics game, you know this — the man talks a lot of trash. A lot. Some genuinely nasty, personal stuff. He uses it to intimidate and to fire himself up.
Charlie Villanueva thought KG crossed the line last night and called him on it, tweeting that Garnett called him a “cancer patient” during the Celtics thumping of Detroit last night. We don’t know if Garnett actually said that, he and the Celtics have yet to comment. But if you’ve heard KG on the court, it is believable.
Villanueva suffers from alopecia universalis, a condition that includes total body hair loss. He does a lot of charity work on behalf of those with the condition.
Plus, cancer is an area that should be off limits. KG is a quality person and leader who has another persona on the court. Some, such as Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo call him a bully once he steps onto the hardwood. However you choose to describe him, KG is going to get backlash for this, as he should. He should pay a price.
But that price should not be from the league. There can be no fine or suspension from the league office.
Technically they could — there can be fines or a suspension, and there are some fans and people out there calling for that right now.
If you fine or suspend Garnett for this comment, you are on a slippery slope. A derogatory term for homosexuals gets used during games often, is that worthy of a fine every time? Curse words? Only when a referee hears it?
If you thought the new technical foul enforcement was ludicrous, this would dwarf it with problems. Trash talk takes place on playground courts, high school gyms and the YMCA. Guys grew up doing it. Then they get to the NBA and have to be saints?
There was a time when this could be enforced on the court. When Villanueva or a team’s designated enforcer could inflict some physical pain on Garnett for these antics, and said enforcer would get tossed for the game for it. And that was all. So teams had enforcers. Now the fines and suspensions make that kind of retribution impossible.
Trash talk is part of the game. You don’t have to like it. But you can’t fine and suspend for it, not even over-the-line comments about cancer.

Every site needs a “random” page to enhance the experience for the reader–and for the writer…a place to put “extras”.
With this in mind, a really great church news site, ICOC Hotnews (www.icochotnews.com), put together a video presentation called “Sister2Sister”. While taping my 6 minute presentation on a topic dear to my heart…”Taking Your Thoughts Captive”, I had hoped that they could incorporate some cool graphics. Well, hotnews surpassed my expectation with the mosquitoes and butterflies that appear a little over halfway through the clip.
Reading is one of my favorite past times. My favorite book (I hope this goes without saying) is the Bible. It never grows old or fails to strengthen, encourage, invigorate, and challenge me.

My wife and I have been married for a year and a half now and we decided that giving glory to God in everything we do should be the purpose of our marriage. I am sad to say that we lost sight of that purpose some time during the last year. Both my wife and I are believers alright, but when we saw what life had to offer us, we preferred to put Jesus on the back seat. We totally forgot that we were not going to get very far without Him. Our prayer life started to get weak, our attendance at church was irregular, we opted to work on Sundays just because we had a good job, a good pay and we wanted to fulfill our dream; a dream to build a home we like to call patch of heaven, even matters between us started to become tense.
On our first anniversary we asked ourselves if we managed to keep up the purpose of our marriage, and it was obvious that though we hoped for it, we were not able to do it. We also understood that we did not know enough about our God. Which brought us in front of two questions: (1.) Are we really living as believers ought to? and (2.) Are we going to church just because we have an obligation?
Both these questions made us question our own salvation, and we would like to thank Pastor Nelson for seeing us through that phase. My wife and I believe that Jesus died for our sins and gave us a second shot at eternity and we as Christians who claim to know him have the responsibility to walk in his ways and will be held accountable by God on the day of Judgment.
That is when we decided to put first things first. God is the priority in our lives and only after Him shall the rest follow. We put aside the one thing that stood between us and God; our jobs. Yeah! We did have questions in our own minds on our future and we also had a tough time answering some of the questions shot at us by others. But when we asked ourselves which sounded more promising “What about your dream home you like to call patch of heaven?” or “I am pleased with you my faithful servant”, we didn’t have to think twice, because a patch of heaven is never going to replace heaven and the promise it has to offer.
We have joined the Baptist Seminary of South India in Bangalore and we hope that we will be able to learn about our God better and bring glory to His name through our lives both in the seminary and outside. My name is Thomas and that brave woman next to me is my wife Nisha, and we are looking forward to the coming again of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
I hope you are too. Praise the Lord.

Carla Gardina Pestana is Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles and the Joyce Appleby Endowed Chair of America in the World.
I have a number of different books going at the moment. Disaffection and Everyday Life in Interregnum England by Caroline Boswell, a book I agreed to review, came to me because I listed myself as a military historian (among other categories) on the website, Women Also Know History. This site makes available information about women’s expertise as historians in order to promote the expertise of women historians. Since it was the first request I had received that mentioned having found me there, I felt compelled to agree. Otherwise I seldom review books these days.
For recreational reading, I just finished Tigerbelle, The Wyomia Tyus Story, an autobiography of an Olympian. I don’t generally read either auto/biographies or modern history, but Ty is a family friend so I made an exception. It’s an interesting account, especially for what it shows about her world, which became dramatically wider (she was raised in the rural south but traveled extensively as a result of her athletic expertise) as well as for the gender dynamics prevailing in the era when she was coming up as an Olympian.
More work-related but equally enjoyable has been reading Elena Schneider’s The British Occupation of Havana. I’ve been awaiting this study of the 1762 occupation of the supposedly impregnable Cuba port city. Through Schneider’s treatment we can see clearly that imperial boundaries were frequently crossed (in wartime as well as during periods of peace), and regional residents routinely failed to cooperate in efforts to close off one empire from another. That and her treatment of the role of slaves and free people of color in the defense and subsequent occupation of the city are profoundly illuminating. Her’s is one of a spate of excellent new books on the early Caribbean.
All this is not to mention the doctoral dissertation on Haitian independence and land that I just finished or the many books and articles I am rereading in order to decide if I should assign them for my winter quarter class. There’s always too much reading to do.
This seems like an impossible question, because there are so many amazing books. I have recommended certain books to many people, so I guess that is one measure. Mr. Bligh’s Bad Language is a great book, and Greg Dening was a scholar I always admired as well as a lovely person. I used to teach Natalie Zemon Davis’s The Return of Martin Guerre, along with the related debates. I liked that book for how it shows the way the historian does her work. When I was a graduate student I read (in the same week in my first term) Christopher Hill’s The World Turned Upside and Perry Miller’s The New England Mind: From Colony to Province. This conjunction set me to thinking: how could both these realities have coexisted. My M.A. thesis (which was published in the New England Quarterly in 1983) represented my first attempt to answer that question; and my dissertation—on religious radicalism in early New England—followed and extended my effort to understand how England produced Quakerism and other forms of radicalism even as newly-founded New England embraced orthodoxy and policed its borders with violent results.
Recently, I have read a number of wonderful books about Caribbean history: Elena Schneider’s book on Havana, but also David Wheat’s Atlantic Africa and the Spanish Caribbean, 1570-1640and Molly Warsh’s American Baroque: Pearls and the Nature of Empire, 1492-1700. I’m preparing to teach a new course on Atlantic history, so I have an enormous stack of such books to go through.
The simple answer: my undergraduate teachers suggested I try graduate school. Growing up I knew no professors, indeed nobody with a Ph.D. But I loved reading and history, so I was amenable to the suggestion. I have never looked back: I went directly into graduate school from undergrad, and carried right on through M.A., Ph.D., and—somewhat miraculously—to a first position that was a tenure-track job at a good school. It all worked out amazingly well, although it seemed a crazy path, an unimaginable future, at the time when I took it up. If I had known I would become so passionate about being a historian that I would go live in another state for decades, away from family and my beloved Los Angeles, I wonder what I would have done. But, after a long haul, I managed to come home, and take a position at my graduate institution. I now work 15 miles from where I was born, and not too many academics can say that.
The more complex answer: I find entering an alternate world an interesting way to use my intellectual abilities. Immersing oneself in a particular time and place in order to come to know it well is a fascinating process. At times in my career I have become so thoroughly immersed in my research that I have gotten mixed up about the number properly assigned to the current month; during the era I study, the first of the year was in March, which made December (quite sensibly) the tenth month. On the rare occasion that I can stay in the seventeenth century for an extended time, I have to remind myself that September is not in fact (any longer) the seventh month.
I once read an essay by Edmund Morgan who suggested that we focus our research questions on what doesn’t make sense. That insight and instruction strikes me as apt in that it’s the disjunctions, the perplexities, which draw the eye and demand to be explored. When we complete that exploration, we so often find something unexpected and revealing. I would take his observation one step further, to say that as we come to know a time and place well, we become more sensitive to the unexpected. Some projects, of course, dig into unknown topics and archives but most re-consider (through deeper research or new questions) already studied topics. I find my work always shifts back and forth between verities (often contained in the historiography) that need to be challenged, and archival sources that open up the possibility of answers. That tension keeps the intellectual life of the historian interesting.
Well, I don’t know about all historians, but I am tenacious, organized, and detail-oriented. I have trouble taking no for an answer, so I just keep digging and trying to figure out what I want to know. While I have never minded (indeed I cherish) time spent alone at my desk or in an archive, struggling with writing and with research, I also thoroughly enjoy the opportunities that my work gives me for thinking with others. I enjoy talking to people—students, colleagues, or the public—about ideas and about the past. I am equally pleased by the solitary and the communal aspects of this work. Ideally you can do both, work alone and with others. I feel that being able to support oneself through work as a historian is a great privilege.
Another difficult question since I have benefited from the teaching and guidance of so many great history teachers. Besides my father who was not a history teacher but was prodigiously intelligent and would answer all my childhood questions about history, a high school teacher leaps to mind. Milton (Mickey) Sirkus was a great teacher. When I think back now about his pedagogical approach, I have to laugh. In an honors history class I took with him in high school, he used teasing each of his students about her or his heritage as a way to engage us in U.S. history. It is hard to imagine a teacher today who would use such a hook, and even at the time it struck me as rather edgy. It was the case that we defended our immigrant ancestors or relatives, and their contributions to U.S. history more energetically than we might have otherwise, since he engaged us on a personal level. I never thought much about what my ancestors and older relatives had faced because they were the children of immigrants until that class. He used sarcasm and teasing in a way I would not feel comfortable doing. As one example of that, when I wrote to him many years later to explain that I had gone on from his history class through college and graduate school to become a historian, he wrote back to welcome me to the ranks of the unemployed. It was in fact a terrible time for finding a history position in a university, but luckily he was eventually proved wrong on that score.
Since my high school history class, I had excellent teachers at my undergraduate alma mater (people who pointed me toward graduate school) and in my graduate program too. I was fortunate to go to UCLA to pursue a graduate degree in early American history in the 1980s. I started working with Gary Nash, who was an amazing lecturer, galvanizing the undergraduates in his big classes, and an excellent editor, giving the best readings of my written work that I have encountered anywhere. My second year at UCLA, Joyce Appleby joined the faculty, and she was stunningly accomplished in all aspects of the work we do. She served as a role model for so many of us—so smart and no nonsense. I am so pleased to have a chair at UCLA now named in her honor.
I used to employ a first-day exercise in smaller classes that both the students and I enjoyed. I’d ask them to write down and pass up their earliest historical memory, and then I would write all their answers of the board. Then we’d discuss the list from numerous angles, starting with what criteria they had used to decide an event was historical. We discussed what guides us in making that sort of a call, and what examples of formal historical writing might align with their choices. The exercise always resulted in a great first-day discussion, one that often ranged widely. I have to say, doing it also brought home to me the ages of my students, as I watched their earliest events move forward in time. I haven’t done that in a while, but I do remember it fondly.
These days I am enjoying the work I do at UCLA with transfer students. Some of the best undergrads I have taught here have been from the local community colleges, transferring in as juniors. They undergo a bit of culture shock, but at the same time they are eager, smart and enthusiastic. I have thoroughly enjoyed overseeing undergraduate honors theses with a handful of them.
I work with so many smart, engaged young people that I am able to remain hopeful. It is easy to bemoan these anti-intellectual times and to worry about what will happen to the American university system and to our ability as a society and a culture to engage intellectually. Yet many people care deeply about learning, including learning about the past, and they work at the thinking and writing that we—whether as producers or consumers—need to keep history going as a discipline and as a form of knowledge. So in spite of the gloomy prognostications, I remain hopeful. History is a foundational component of a humanist education, and it is something that many people beyond the academy know to be valuable. I’m toying with writing a book for a popular audience in part to try to make some of the work we do in the academy more accessible and interesting to those outside it.
I don’t own any particularly rare or collectible books, although I do still have my beloved print copy of the OED—The Oxford English Dictionary—in two volumes, with its magnifying glass in the little drawer that allows me to read the many pages printed on each sheet.
As for artifacts, I have received some fun items as gifts from former students. One gave me an old nautical sextant—appropriate to my work on maritime history and privateers—while another gave me a framed sheet out of an early edition of John Foxe’s The Actes and Monuments (better known as Foxe’s Book of Martyrs)—a gift relevant to my work on religion. I also have a counted cross stitch sampler that replicates one from the late seventeenth century. The original maker was a New England girl who grew up to join the Quaker meeting in Lynn, Massachusetts, a meeting and a community that I wrote about in my first book. My mother stitched it for me as a gift while I was writing a dissertation that included this girl, Hannah Breed, and other people from her community.
When you ask about my career, I assume you mean my own personal triumphs and trials. If that’s the intention, I have to admit that I have been extremely privileged and lucky, so both the high points and the low occurred in that context.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my privileged position has been being able to take all the time I wanted and needed to write a second book. I got tenure based on the first book, so despite the pressure to publish again quickly (and the harsh strictures from one department chair in particular about “frozen associate professors” who didn’t finish a second book promptly), I produced a second book (The English Atlantic in an Age of Revolution, 1640-1661) that differed drastically from my first. It took me forever to learn all that I needed in order to be confident about that book and to send it out into the world, but it was a better book for it. I am glad I did not bend to the pressure (whether self-inflicted, institutional, or otherwise) to be fast, and the tenure system allowed me that opportunity. That book might still be my personal favorite of those I have so far written, because of how far I had to stretch to write it. It didn’t help matters that I had two children over the course of researching and writing it, either.
That is the perfect lead in to the frustrations. Like many women in my cohort, I did experience the challenges of having babies at an institution with no pregnancy leave policy. My female colleagues thought I should go ask what arrangements would be possible, but the chair of the department looked at me blankly. It was aggravating, but because I didn’t have tenure the first time around, I just thanked him and left. I didn’t become better at advocating for myself the second time, either, even though by then I did have tenure. My children are in their early to mid-20s so this was not all that long ago. Most women academics then of my acquaintance who were older than me did not have children, and if they did they often had them before they joined a department. If you found yourself in my situation, you were supposed to hope your baby arrived in the summer, best of all in early summer, so you could spend a little time at home; if the baby was born at a different time of the year, you might be allowed to teach an overload, bank some courses, and get a little time off that way. Some colleagues seemed to think that one should not try to be an academic and a mother. I managed, as did others, but the lack of support or even awareness was a source of frustration.
I have been at this a while, so it has changed in various ways. In my own original field of early American history, when I was in graduate school my fellow students were doing the “New Social History,” studying various groups in society often using quantitative methods. The cultural turn had already overtaken literature departments but was just coming into historians’ awareness. Soon that became the dominant approach, but at the same time areas such as Native American history were blossoming too. Today it seems that some of those early seeds of the social history scholarship—especially its engagement with race, class and (eventually) gender—has paid big dividends, reshaping the ways we think about so many topics.
In my own historical scholarship, I have been most conscious of the shift in geographical frames. Today Atlantic history seems a bit passé, but the shift out from British North America felt startlingly true and profound at the time. When I was a graduate student, colonial America meant the thirteen colonies that became the United States and the only external links that matter were back to Britain. Most projects were framed within a single colony, and the bent toward social history meant detailed archival work within a relatively narrow geographical framework. Looking up from that narrow landscape to perceive the connectedness of various places not in North America and indeed not within the English imperial boundaries felt like a revelation.
I do not like the usual history sayings, because they often assume some simple connection between the past and the present that I perceive to be wrong. For instance, I don’t agree that history repeats itself. Or rather, as George Santayana said, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Even Karl Marx’s version, “History repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce” doesn’t strike me as entirely accurate. The factors that shape our present are so complex and multifaceted that attempts to achieve or avoid a particular outcome usually set into motion numerous unintended consequences—that (more than the repeat nature of history or our ability to remember it and thereby keep it from repeating) is what strikes me most often as I study the intentions of historical actors.
I am rather more enamored of the L.P. Hartley observation, which points in the opposite direction: that “the past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.” The opening line of his novel could actually be read as a caution to those who look for repetition or simply lessons, since that often involves ignoring the differences.
For the sheer pleasure of following its twisted history in our popular culture, I do rather like Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s “Well-behaved women rarely make history.” I read it in its original context, before it developed a life of its own, in an article about what was considered proper behavior for women. Laurel meant it as a straightforward description of the cultural ideal: women were not to draw attention to themselves but to remain quietly in their proscribed roles. She was not issuing a call to revolution or advocating that women should misbehave and make history. But the quotation got picked up and flipped from its original meaning to its opposite. That reversal is fascinating, and I particularly love how people attribute it to various women (such as Eleanor Roosevelt) who purportedly said it to advocate that women make trouble and call attention to the need for change. Laurel has written a book on the whole phenomenon, in part to get all those who know her to stop sending her pictures of it misattributed on t-shirts, coffee mugs, and protest signs.
The strange history of that history quotation makes it fun. It remains ubiquitous, and I bet people still email Laurel about its odder appearances. I’ve long since quit doing so, although I continue to see it around.
Well, I am chair of my department, so I am doing a great deal of university service. I care deeply about my department and my university, so I don’t mind giving some of my time over to this work. But that obligation does mean that I will produce less scholarship in the short term. I do have a book manuscript on Plymouth Plantation that I am trying to finish for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower landing. It differs from anything I have done before, in that it is aimed at a popular audience. I was inspired to write it by an extended visit to the living history museum that reenacts Plymouth, having been brought in along with others to help the staff there to update their historical coverage. That experience got me thinking about Plymouth and how we Americans envision it. My impulse to create this work owes something to the fact that I wrote for a few years for the Huffington Post. Writing for a popular audience about the intersections between the past that I study and current events proved a challenging discipline; 800 words are very few (at least for the historian who writes 200 page books), and the need to respond quickly and in a focused fashion I found invigorating. I am trying to bring what I learned doing that to this new project.
As usual—as has been the case since the start of my career—I also have a little Quaker piece I am mulling over. My very first research project as a graduate student was on the Quakers, and I keep coming back to them with various questions and ideas. And finally, I mean to get back into the Jamaican archives, to follow up some of what I was doing with my previous book. So, lots to do, but not enough time to do it all. Isn’t that always the case?

In addition to Dragon I'm using a Zoom H4 digital audio recorder, which is something that my company has used for video production and other projects. It was my hope that it would work well for dictating into Dragon. The first thing that I dictated for transcription was a draft email and it seemed to be fine, other than my stumbling with my words. In that case I was just sitting at a table quietly and that is a different scenario compared to running water and scrubbing dishes. It will be interesting to see how well Dragon handles this audio compared to the other one.
In addition to the Zoom, even though it has built-in microphones, I am using two lapel microphones from Radio Shack. I'm wearing a hoodie and the two microphones are attached to the cords for the hood and feeding into the left and right channels on the recorder. I thought this would give me cleaner audio than trying to use the built-in mics, and I've also been having some problems with the recorder and its built-in mics anyway, so hopefully this will bypass those problems.
Other than the hardware and the Dragon software, I also use Adobe Audition to clean up the audio. The recorder, for some reason, records at a very low level and I don't think the levels are high enough for Dragon to be able to use it. By opening the audio file in Audition I can raise the levels and also do a noise reduction pass on it and hopefully increase the accuracy of Dragon. At least that is the intent, I have not actually tried a raw file directly from the recorder in Dragon because it just seems like it would be a waste of time considering how low the recording level is. If I thought it would potentially work I would go ahead and try it just to see whether I could save time that way. Instead I just assumed that I would need to process each audio file before importing it for transcription, and that is how I trained Dragon. It might sound time-consuming to do that, but actually it's only a couple steps and it is easy to do.
Considering that I do not know whether this is going to be a useful recording and maybe I'm just wasting a little electricity on the recorder while I wash dishes, I'm going to go ahead and wrap up this blog post. It will be interesting to see what my word count is, and to see if that gives me any idea how effective it can be doing things other than dictating directly in to my computer. Ideally at some point I would like to be able to record audio for transcription while I am riding a bike or gardening or doing other quiet activities such as taking a walk. Time will tell if that actually works.
I welcome your comments below as always.
Followup note: I did need to clean things up a lot before posting this, but not as much as I thought, and the vast majority of the problems were from me fumbling for words rather than recognition issues in Dragon. Also, as a bonus, I accidentally used the raw audio file from the recorder for transcription rather than the processed file, and it worked so well that I just used that for this blog post.

They're hoping to tip the scales in the fight against fat.
A coalition of health groups is demanding the Federal Government put a 20 percent tax on all sugary drinks as part of a suite of measures toreduce the strain obesity and poor diets are having on the nation's health and hip pocket.
The 34 community, public health, medical and academic groups on Tuesday mounted the call for urgent Federal Government action, and released an eight stage 'Tipping the Scales' action plan led by the Obesity Policy Coalition (OPC) and Deakin University's Global Obesity Centre (GLOBE).
The plan includes a 20 percent 'health levy' on sugary drinks, the establishment of a national obesity taskforce and the development of national diet, physical activity and weight guidelines.
Develop and monitor national diet, physical activity and weight guidelines.
The coalition involves groups such as the Heart Foundation, Cancer Council Australia, Kidney Health Australia, Diabetes Australia and the Stroke Foundation.
OPC Executive Manager Jane Martin said the eight policy areas addressed the parts of Australia's environment which set individuals and families up for unhealthy lifestyles, rather than just focusing on treating the poor health outcomes associated with obesity.
Martin said 63 percent of Australian adults and 27 percent children are overweight or obese.
"This is not surprising when you look at our environment -- our kids are bombarded with advertising for junk food, high-sugar drinks are cheaper than water, and sugar and saturated fat are hiding in so-called 'healthy' foods," Martin said.
"Making a healthy choice has never been more difficult."
The annual cost of overweight and obesity in Australia in 2011-12 was estimated to be $8.6 billion in direct and indirect costs such as GP services, hospital care, absenteeism and government subsidies, she said.
"But Australia still has no strategy to tackle our obesity problem. It just doesn't make sense," Martin said.
"Without action, the costs of obesity and poor diet to society will only continue to spiral upwards.
Professor of Epidemiology and Equity in Public Health at Deakin University, Anna Peeters, said the 34 groups behind the report not let governments simply sit back and watch as growing numbers of Australians developed life-threatening weight and diet-related health problems.
There will be approximately 1.75 million deaths in people over the age of 20 years caused by diseases linked to overweight and obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer heart disease, between 2011-2050, she said.
"For too long we have been sitting and waiting for obesity to somehow fix itself," Professor Peeters said.
"More than thirty leading organisations have agreed on eight priorities needed to tackle obesity in Australia. We would like to work with the Federal Government to tackle this urgent issue and integrate these actions as part of a long-term coordinated approach."
The expert advice has been slammed by Liberal Democrats Senator David Leyonhjelm as "just another excuse for a tax, dressed up as a health issue".
"Nanny rummages through our fridges and shopping trolleys and, with wagging finger, tells us we need to give more money to the government for our own good," he said.
He said while Australia's growing obesity problem is a serious issue, attempts elsewhere in the world to introduce a sugar tax were ineffective.
"The simple fact is there is no accepted evidence that sugar taxes cut long-term soft drink consumption or reduce body mass index, or have any marked effect on rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease," he said.
"The only thing that will get smaller if we make just one unhealthy product more expensive is the hip pocket, and those on low incomes will be hardest hit."

Northport, NY has 49 private money lenders operating within the city. The mean loan made to borrowers is about $315,313. Rates on hard money loans made to Northport investors average around 10.6%. The median term for loans is 17 months. The average hard money loan offered in the city carries a 2.8 point origination cost. The mean loan to value for loans in Northport is 75%.
Duane owns a a warehouse he uses for his company's operations in Northport, NY. He looks to Cordial Funding Corporation for a cash out refinance loan after he is rejected for a loan by his credit union to pay for his business's ongoing inventory needs. In exchange for a first lien on the real estate, the lender will fund Duane 65% of its $3,000,000 estimated value. The lender will begin to receive interest only payments for a 2 year term. Additionally, they will deduct 1 points at closing and will get the principle paid back in a balloon sum when the loan matures. Based upon the terms of this deal, Cordial Funding Corporation will give Duane a total of $1,930,500 on his real estate ($3,000,000 estimated market value x 65% LTV - $19,500 in origination points). Duane will pay $16,250 per month in interest fees until the loan matures and will finally pay back the $1,950,000 principle on the loan.
Miguel operates a business in Northport, NY. He runs his operation out of an industrial building that he owns in full. So he can obtain much needed funds to grow his company, he takes out some of the equity in his property through a private money cash-out refinance loan from Advanced Finance . After concluding the property to be valued at about $1,100,000, the lender agrees to a 70% loan to value (LTV) on the deal. They also settle on a 9% interest rate, a 5 year loan term, and they will collect an origination fee of 1 percent at closing. Interest-only payments should be made monthly with the loan principle to be repaid when the loan matures. By the terms of the loan, Advanced Finance will give Miguel a total of $762,300 on his building ($1,100,000 market value x 70% loan-to-value - $7,700 in origination points). Miguel will then pay $5,775 per month in interest until the loan expires and will then re-pay the $770,000 face amount of the loan.

Honestly, if I had to pick just one of the most powerful antioxidants to use it would be vitamin C. It’s so much more than boosting our immune system to avoid getting colds. Vitamin C is a requirement in the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine, and particular neurotransmitters; Vitamin C is also involved in protein metabolism and halts the destruction (at a minimum) from those blasted free-radicals.
Our immune system function is intimately and closely related to the proper function of our adrenals.
You have probably heard the phrase “Adrenal Fatigue’ a bit lately. I recently learned the highest amount of vitamin C in our bodies is in the adrenals. Some experts think that this might be the reason why it boosts our immunity. Our immune system function is intimately and closely related to the proper function of our adrenals. People with weak adrenals get respiratory infections and asthma-like problems frequently. Supplementing with vitamin C can boost your energy levels for that reason too. Healthy adrenals equal good energy levels! Given your body is not dealing with high toxicity (mercury, nickel, aluminum, chlorine, etc.) or hidden infections (like a root canal, an existing amalgam, or an imbalance in the micro-biome), if it is, it will most likely use the vitamin C on that.
Research on Vitamin C is in and it shows that it is nothing short of a miracle nutrient that is extremely versatile. It’s one of, if not the, best antiviral, antibiotic, antihistaminic, antipyretic known to mankind! You just have to know how to use it. The key is orthomolecular doses. That’s MEGA doses, and frequent doses of the highly bioavailable nutrient. Vitamin C has a very short life in the body. It is very safe and is a water-soluble vitamin. There are many different forms of vitamin C and it is a good idea to supplement with many of them (if you can afford it). Especially when you’re dealing with some sort of illness. Well ascorbic acid is the cheapest and a very safe form you can use for life and in a daily basis as a basic part of your supplementation regime. There’s a lot of controversy about it but I trust the scientists I’ve been reading, and for the results I’ve seen too. Liposomal Vitamin C is the only option in my mind. It is far superior to anything else out as of now.
Doctoryourself.com has some fantastic articles with a lengthy compilation of scientific papers on Vitamin C. It was first suggested as a tool for cancer treatment in the 1950’s: its role in collagen production and protection led scientists to hypothesize that ascorbate replenishment would protect normal tissue from tumor invasiveness and metastasis (McCormick, 1959; Cameron, et al., 1979).
Vitamin C dosage: You can start by taking 1000mg after each meal. I started doing that quantity, and went up little by little. I do 5000 mg/day religiously. I do other forms too depending on my bodies needs at the moment. Vitamin C absorbability depends on how much sickness we have going on within us. We should all ramp up our intake of Vitamin C. This could be 3000 mg to 100,000 (via IV). Keep in mind that we can (and should) take as much as vitamin C as we can. It will not hurt us. A very important note: the more you divide the dose, the better it will work. For example: if you’re going to try and take 5000 mg/day, then it would be best to try and take 1000 mg 5x over the day. If you can spread the same dosage out 10x over the course of the day, this would be even more optimal.
This RDA table is pretty ridiculous and scary if you ask me.
Most of what the USDA recommends for vitamins and minerals are basically just to keep you up to a minimal baseline of health. Which is not even par for the course. It’s not a joke, but it is laughable.
Acute vitamin C deficiency leads to scurvy. Signs can appear within 1 month of little or no vitamin C intake (below 10 mg/day). Initial symptoms can include fatigue (probably the result of impaired carnitine biosynthesis), malaise (general feeling of discomfort), and inflammation of the gums. As vitamin C deficiency progresses, collagen synthesis becomes impaired and connective tissues become weakened. Skin diseases (such as petechiae, ecchymosis, hyperkeratosis, and purpura) can also arise. Joint pain and poor wound healing are also common symptoms. Additional signs of scurvy include depression as well as swollen, bleeding gums and loosening or loss of teeth due to tissue and capillary fragility. Iron deficiency anemia can also occur due to increased bleeding and decreased non heme (plant based) iron absorption secondary to low vitamin C intake. In children, bone disease can be present. Left untreated, scurvy is fatal.

As the Conestoga Condor’s varsity women’s rugby team warmed up for their game against Sheridan College on Oct. 13, they noticed something wrong. Sheridan hadn’t shown up yet.
The Bruins had gotten lost on the way to Bill Struck Field in Cambridge. They arrived just after the 5 p.m. start time. After being given time to warm up, the game got underway after only a slight delay.
However, that delay seemed to have a bigger effect on Conestoga. The Condors came out playing sloppy and Sheridan quickly took control.
The Bruins scored less than two minutes into the game, and led 12-0 at halftime. On a cold, damp and rainy day, it would have been easy to roll over and give up. But the Condors have championship aspirations, and weren’t about to go down without a fight.
Conestoga came out in the second half looking like a different team, dominating possession, making solid tackles and breaking long runs with both their forwards and backfield.
As the sun went down the Condors’ offence woke up. Forward Natalie Kwiecien scored two tries, as did back Morgan Minke. Scarlette Jarquin added a convert for the Condors.
And when the final whistle blew, the Condors were victorious, winning 22-12.
The win moves the Condors to 4-1 on the season, and into first place in the west division.
With only one game remaining in their regular season, a matchup against winless Mohawk, the Condors are looking for greater consistency down the stretch. The team is no stranger to playing Jekyll and Hyde rugby, losing their only game of the season 59-0 to Humber, and then beating that same team 20-0 just two weeks later.
“Next game we need to work on keeping that confidence and aggression for the entire game,” said Kirkey.
The Condors have their sight set on the Ontario Collegiate Athletic Association championship game on Nov. 14. The Condors reached the gold medal game back in 2011, but lost to Humber and settled for silver. This year, the sky is the limit.
“This team can go as far as they choose to go. This team has so much potential, and so much aggression and ability, if they use it, they can go all the way,” Kirkey said.

Famed firearm manufacturer O.F. Mossberg and Sons, jumped into the AR-15 market in 2011 when it introduced the MMR—the Mossberg Modern Rifle—in the MMR Tactical and the MMR Hunter platforms, both chambered in 5.56 NATO.
I had a chance to run several hundred rounds through both models shortly after they debuted at a shooting event and varmint hunt co-sponsored by Mossberg. Certainly, they were functional ARs that got the job done. Dozens of dead squirrels attested to the accuracy of these rifles, given that the small varmints were about the size of furry corn dogs and I was able to drop them at distances in excess of 250 yards.
M-LOK slots allow for multiple attachment points and faster cooling under rapid-fire conditions.
My big concern about the MMR Tactical was its cheese-grater quad handguard, burdensome bulk and sharp edges, which stopped just short of cutting my hands. Both variants also sported a gritty Mil-Spec trigger.
For 2016, Mossberg has essentially re-launched the MMR line, upgrading and changing many of the original features and modernizing this already modern sporting rifle.
A full Picatinny rail spans the upper receiver for a host of optic possibilities.
I recently received a production model MMR Carbine for testing. Like its predecessors, it’s a functional rifle and it’s accurate. It’s also a slimmed-down version of the original, fits well in the hand and on the shoulder and looks much more refined than its cheese-grater cousin.
On the downside, the MMR Carbine still has a Mil-Spec trigger most shooters will want to replace. Of course, this AR isn’t alone in that predicament. Few ARs in the sub-$1,000 price range have triggers many would rate as “smooth” or “crisp.” Lastly, the MMR Carbine has no forward assist. Whether or not that’s a concern is up to the individual shooter’s preferences, but for this shooter the preference is definitely to have one.
Dual apertures allow precise work at distance or rapid acquisition up close, while allowing for windage and elevation adjustment on the rear sight. The front sight uses a standard AR-15 sight tool for adjustments, and both sights are easily removed.
Initially, I gave the MMR Carbine a thorough cleaning. Then, I removed the rail-mounted open sights. Nothing against the sights; they looked good. But an optic is a better way to judge a rifle’s accuracy than open sights, certainly for me. So I mounted a Swarovski Z6i 1-6x24 mm scope on the MMR, using a LaRue Tactical SPR-E quick-detach scope mount.
At the range the next day, I ran approximately 100 rounds of varying manufacture through the MMR, just to get a feel for the rifle and to begin the zeroing process. First impressions were the rifle handled well and the M-LOK handguard stayed cool even with high-volume, high rate-of-fire shooting.
Mossberg opted for its own version of the Mil-Spec collapsible stock for the new MMR.
The MMR’s six-position, adjustable buttstock snapped in and out cleanly, and the Magpul MOE+ grip is nicely tactile. I also ran my hand under cold water and then took hold of the grip just to see how the MOE+ grip worked wet—great, was the answer. There was no slippage between wet hand and wet grip. The oversize Magpul MOE polymer trigger guard has ample room for a gloved trigger finger.
A week later, I returned to the range to complete my testing, the MMR having been cleaned and lubricated. Before switching to different ammunition, I also cleaned the bore and lubed the bolt-carrier group, and made sure the rifle had a 10-minute cool-down period.
I kept the Swarovski Z6i in place. For a rest, I used the Champion Premium Shooting Rest with a padded front rest and a padded pocket for the buttstock. I like this rest for ARs as it is made specifically to fit rifles with longer, higher-capacity magazines. Speaking of magazines, I used the Mossberg metal 30-round magazine that came with the rifle for all my shooting, loading it with five to 10 rounds, to 15 rounds at a time.
A standard A2-style, “birdcage” flash suppressor caps the 16.25-inch barrel.
First, I made sure the rifle was hitting a 2-inch bullseye at 50 yards, which took five shots, then moved to the 100 yard targets I had set up. These, by the way, were Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C Targets 12-inch Sight-In targets with five diamond-shaped bullseyes.
Now, I tend to shoot fast when testing ARs, even on benches. Of course, I take time to breathe between shots, realign my sight picture, and practice good trigger fundamentals. But a major reason to have a semi-auto like an AR is the ability to put a good number of rounds downrange in a short space of time. I don’t think waiting 30 seconds between shots is a true test of how an AR will be used for self-defense, in the field or for competition.
My absolute best group of the day was a 1.26-inch group I shot with a 55-grain round made by Dynamic Research Technologies, the worst a 2.29-incher with the Hornady Superformance. The best average was with Federal Fusion MSR ammunition, which clocked in at 1.55 inches for five, five-shot groups, followed by the DRT at 1.62 inches and Hornady Superformance at 1.71 inches.
Of note, I had multiple hits on the .5-inch diamond-shaped centers of the Shoot-N-C Targets with each brand of ammunition. But groups definitely expanded as shots were fired and the barrel heated up. With all three brands of ammunition, my initial two shots were within a half-inch of each other; the next two shots spread out another inch or so; the last shot could be right at shot number four or it could push out a bit further, too, up to a half-inch more.
(l.) Flared to facilitate faster magazine changes, the magazine well is distinctly marked. (ctr.) Despite the lack of a forward assist, the bolt-carrier group contains notches for use with one. (r.) Magpul’s MOE+ grip provides ample purchase and storage for small parts.
The MMR Carbine is compact and sturdy—as an AR should be—weighing in at just 6.75 pounds, unloaded, with the upper and lower receivers manufactured from 7075 T6 aluminum. All metal surfaces are protected by a black phosphate/anodized metal finish for enhanced durability. The carbon-steel barrel is freefloated and button-rifled. The rifle comes with removable rail-mounted, adjustable target sights. The front sight is adjustable for elevation, the rear sight for windage and elevation. A flattop, full-length Picatinny rail provides for customization.
The MMR Carbine cycled every round without a problem, in the neighborhood of 250 rounds by the time I was done with my evaluation. I made sure to collect and examine as much of the brass as I could find. There were no dents or other incidental damage to the body and neck of the used brass I gathered. Case rims were clean, too, with no scratches or gouges to suggest an extractor working overtime.
Utilitarian in appearance and robust in use, the bolt-carrier group is phosphated and Mil-Spec.
The bolt catch engaged the bolt easily, and held it in place firmly, though it took pretty good pressure to release it. The spring on the magazine release was taut but not too much so, and the magazine dropped right out with minimal pressure on the release button. The safety selector moved stiffly between stations, but began to smooth out with use.
What did not smooth out with use was the Mil-Spec, single-stage trigger on the MMR Carbine. It’s far from a great trigger and, to be fair, the MMR is not alone in this situation. Most production ARs costing less than $1,000 come with triggers that range from gritty and somewhat difficult to use to damned hard grinders that compromise accuracy. The trigger on the MMR is not the worst I have ever used. It is, however, uncomfortably close to the more questionable end of the above-referenced scale.
I found the trigger on the MMR Carbine actually gritty enough that it was possible to approximate a two-stage trigger. I could pull the trigger back through the initial rough spots and slack, stop and hold it in place, and then give the trigger the needed harder squeeze to break through the final wall. In fact, this “two-stage” approach gave me better accuracy than using the trigger single stage and the associated extra effort and movement it required.
Mossberg wisely opted for a freefloat barrel for greater accuracy potential.
For close-in fast shots and shots where you have a good deal of time, the MMR’s trigger won’t be a problem. But, I suspect one reason my groups weren’t smaller was partially due to the trigger and the hard “wall” I had to squeeze through right before it releases the sear. Many shooters, no doubt, will replace the original trigger with a better aftermarket model.
Tactically speaking, I wonder if the 1:8 rifling twist that is standard on the MMR Carbine is sufficient. A Hornady Superformance round firing a 75-grain bullet produced the largest groups of all the three loads I used. Part of the reason, I assume, has to do with the larger, longer bullet, which really calls for a 1:7 twist—at least according to the many ballistic experts I have talked to over the years.
For shooting paper targets and various moving targets (in competitive shooting situations or not), the 1:8 twist in the MMR Carbine will do the job. But if your preference runs to heavier bullets, at distance, the MMR is likely not the best choice.
While the MMR lacks both a dustcover and forward assist for cost and weight savings, function was unaffected by their absence.
The MMR Carbine does not have a forward assist. A lot of newer ARs are also foregoing the assist. Marketing and engineering people at several AR manufacturers have told me their customers don’t rate the forward assist as needed. And, of course, not incorporating one makes the rifle itself less expensive to produce.
I can’t argue with the cost saving aspect of not having a forward assist. But not needed?
It is true that during my time with the MMR Carbine, I didn’t have a single extraction problem. I also did not short-stroke a round, and the frequent cleanings meant the MMR never got gunked-up enough that the bolt might hang up inside the receiver.
But, all of these things, of course, can and do happen in real world shooting situations with AR’s, which is why the forward assist was added to the AR platform. It’s also why I prefer an AR to have a forward assist.
For an everyday AR that can handle home-defense duties, range and field use, the MMR Carbine is a solid choice. No, it’s not a top-of-the-line, custom rifle. But it also doesn’t come with a custom rifle price tag, and the investment in an aftermarket trigger will, I believe, give you a sub-MOA rifle that will withstand years of shooting and many rough days of use.
More MMR models will be introduced over the next couple years. Mossberg’s Powell also noted that the MMR series will include other caliber options than the 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem. chambering. The 7.62 NATO/.308 Win., no doubt, will be among those options. But, it will be interesting to see if Mossberg gets a little more creative and offers future MMRs in other chamberings and in various furniture and accessory configurations.
The profile from either side is bone-standard AR-15-style.

The dawn of a new year can often provoke thoughts of changing our lives or making them better in some way. For some, this might be losing weight or getting fit. For others, this might mean traveling more. And for some, a change for the better may mean embarking on a quest to achieve a promotion at work. Going for the next step on the career ladder can be tough. You might not have applied for a job in years, you might be very comfortable in your current role, and you might be fearful of leaving what you know behind. However, sometimes the bravest steps are the scariest ones. Take a look at how you can secure a promotion in three simple steps.
If you have been in your current position for a while, the chances are that you can do the job with your hands tied behind your back and blindfolded. Yes, it’s easy, but you aren’t challenged. To strive for the next step in your career you need to ensure that you have the right qualifications. Take a look at the upper management tiers of your profession and cross reference the job specification with your own resume. You may need to consider enrolling on an accredited online MBA program to enhance your applications. Having the business theory is just as important as having the experience within the workplace. Consider heading to a soft skills session or two teaching about leadership and people management. These will be the qualities that the upper echelons of your field will be looking for.
If you are seeking employment elsewhere, you must make sure that your applications are bespoke. Don’t use a scattergun approach and fire off the same resume and cover letter to every company you can think of. Employers can tell a generic template from a mile away. You need to personalize your letters of application. Address the HR recruiter by name and explain what you can bring to the organization you are applying for. By showing that you have taken a real interest in a company, you are showing a potential employer that you are willing to put the time and effort into an outstanding application.
If you’re adamant that you want to stay with your current company, you need to pull out all of the stops to show how invaluable you are. Offer to take on more responsibility to show how flexible and willing you can be. Be the one to offer to write a tricky presentation to try and secure a lucrative contract. Work a few extra hours a week and be the model employee. When your employer then hears that you are thinking of leaving, they may create a new position to accommodate you and your career goals.
Seeking out promotion is an exciting yet daunting time. You will inevitably face rejection, but you need to brush yourself off and get back to pushing forward. Follow this guide, and you will end 2019 in a newly promoted position.

In a large skillet or saute pan heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
Throw in mushrooms* and continue to cook until all liquid is absorbed.
In a another skillet; heat olive oil and throw in onion,green onion and bell pepper.
Saute until vegetables are soft.
Using a hand blender or food processor,pulse mushrooms with cream until nice and smooth.
Transfer back to the pan.
Add broth,sour cream,both cheeses and sautéed vegetables.
