Sands of Iwo Jima
Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: John Marion Stryker is the ultimate Marine, a tough rifle squad leader who in 1943 is assigned a squad of new recruits saddled with three veterans and an old enemy of Stryker’s from previous duties in the Far East. One recruit in particlar is a source of friction with Stryker, Peter Conway, whose father was Stryker’s CO at Guadalcanal and who felt his son was too soft and cowardly to be a Marine. The squad grows more and more resentful at Stryker’s increasingly brutal training regimen and his lack of sympathy for the varied personal problems of the recruits, but his determination to mold them into fighting men helps save their lives when the squad is landed at Tarawa in November 1943 and Stryker risks his life to blow up a Japanese bunker that has slaughtered Marines trapped at a log wall. The now battle-tested squad becomes more closely-knit and Stryker’s relationship with the men warms as the squad eventually finds itself in the bloodiest island battle of the war, at Iwo Jima.

How historically accurate is the movie "the sands of Iwo Jima"?
examples would help.


They did use some footage of real Marines in combat, but they also used Marine training sequences, too. Camp Pendelton was the source of much of the "combat" scenes. The Battle for Iwo Jima was a terrible ordeal for both sides. The casualties for the landing were higher than those for the landings at Normandy (D-Day, June 6th, 1944).

I don’t remember all the details, but I don’t recall anything that struck me as being inaccurate.

I like John Wayne (as Sargeant Stryker) better than I like Barack Hussein Obama, though.
Joseph S | Nov 04, 2008


I don’t recall the movie, much. I don’t think any film has caught the amount of death during that battle. The casualties were astronomical on both sides. I believe Iwo Jima and other pacific battles made our leaders conclude one thing: The Japanese don’t surrender. If they were going to fight this hard for a piece of dirt in the pacific, imagine how they will fight for the mainland of Japan. Anyone who has studied the pacific war can easily conclude that we had to Nuke Japan.

how do you enjoy the full moon?
I wrap my kids up in blankets outside and make up moon stories. hilarious when they go ..yeah right dad!

My dad would wake me up with come see the moon and tell me tales of sputnik and the man on the moon and how people used to think it was actually made out of cheese. Now i teach my kids those stories and thanks to nightskygirl’s telescope expertise i ordered a couple of 6 inch made for kids orion telescopes and teach them about the craters of the moon.

I told them Abbott & Costello are still on Mars and they believed me!


Full Moon is the night which i called "Lucky Night"
Cause it has enough light that can protect us from the dark,but they say that when it is full moon there are monsters,but i don’t believe it.

i enjoy the full moon at night around 10 o’clock at a beach when the weather is perfect, around 70-75 degrees, and im with my stunning girlfriend, walking around along the beach line talking and occasionally laying together.

What should I do (if anything) with my dog that injured my kitten? SERIOUS?
I have an american stafford terrier mix (think… from shelter) he is bout 2 years old and i have had him for 6 months. I also have a black lab dobie/rottie mix who is just a year old. Sweetest things, the amstaff loves to cuddle and give lots of kisses and sorta timid when I adopted him. He is calm and rarely ever gets excited. Bruno is playful So i also have two cats …. which has never been a problem the entire time i have had them they sleep next to each other, they play with the dogs tail etc. i got them at 6 wks and they are bout 6 months. I left today (brutus stays out) just to run across the street to the grocery store. I heard my rottie barking excessively as i came up to the door which is weird i walked in to see my rottie mix circling and barking at the amstaff chewing on one of the cats on the middle of the floor. I ran over to see her back legs down soaking wet from slobber and she wouldnt move. she had defecated on herself, her eyes had some blood on them and she couldnt really use her back legs. she was in obvious shock. the amstaff was the only one who had scratches all over his face and lips. previous days … about 3 or 4 i had seen blood in random places, but checked all animals and saw nothing wrong.

QUESTION is what should i do about my amstaff. This has NEVER been any issue before and he is always gentle and pretty much ignores the cats from the time they have been together for 6 months. I was unaware that the cat was in the living room where i locked him up. Is he a danger for tasting blood or is he unpredictable i need advice on any actions i should take, or just not own cats. I just wont have an aggressive dog although i believe firmly he was playing way too hard but even with him being hurt i see he didnt stop. please help. im between a rock and a hard place.

thank you so much


first of all, i hope your cat has been seen by a vet. blood and an animal defecating on itself are not signs of "rough play" it’s a sign of an attack and a very, very scared and possibly hurt kitten.

no matter what you do, please do not put the dog to sleep. find foster care if you decide to get rid of him. you could also contact an animal behaviorist.
Toni | Feb 07, 2010


If you do plan on keeping the pitbull, he should be in a crate when you leave. You should also supervise him around the cats at all times. In fact, no dogs should ever be left alone with a little kitty. Even if it seems like they get along, bully breeds have a high prey drive and things like this are not uncommon. I hope your little kitty is okay. You need to take the cat to a vet asap if he hasn’t been to one already!!
Marie | Feb 07, 2010


If this keeps happening , find a new home for the dog. Becareful with our cat. Good luck!
elizabeth | Feb 07, 2010


Ouch. This is a hard one. First off, I hope your cat is okay. I would try to keep them separated. If there have been absolutely no other problems in the previous months, it is hard to believe the dogs would have aggression toward the cats. Honestly, I’d go with your instinct. I too believe they were probably playing too hard and it just got out of hand. However, if it happens again, or more than once, I would either keep them separated all the time, or have it so there is no contact between them. (Like, my aunt keeps the cats in the basement which is also a kids playroom and they regularly go down to feed, water, play with, etc. them.) If you think it is a real problem, I do suggest having the poor dog put down. But I would only do that in a very very extreme situation. Hope this helps, and good luck!
acoustic_identity | Feb 07, 2010


That’s a tuff call. It sounds as if her was playing although I would have to agree with you that if he wasn’t aggressive he would have stopped once he was scratched or began to bleed in anyway from the incident.

I don’t think its fair for your cats to live in that type of environment if you chose to keep the puppy. If he is young doing this it may only get worse.

You can try taking him to your local SPCA they will run "test" with other animals and scenarios to determine if he is an aggressive animal. This may allow you the ability of making a more informed decision.
suprwmngnbad | Feb 07, 2010


That is a toughy. You definitely need to keep your staffy away from small animals from now on! I hope your cat is going to be ok. Always supervise him when he’s with other animals, even your other large dog. May I suggest getting a crate for him to go in when your not home. http://dogs.about.com/cs/basictraining/p /crate_training.htm That way you can always supervise his interaction with other animals and should your cats get into his space, you will be there to intervene. Good luck! I hope you don’t have any more trouble with him.
Holly | Feb 07, 2010


Rehome the cats. Keep the dog. The dog did what some dogs do, chase smaller animals & maul & kill them. Terriers have very strong prey drive. You found that out the hard way. He only acted out of instinct, nothing else.
BCDawgMa **Luv My Chynna** | Feb 07, 2010


This is prey drive, predation, not aggression, and not playing. Any cat or small dog could be in danger from this dog. Even with dogs who get along well for years and are buddies, all it takes is an instant, an "oops" that was my Buddy, not a bunny! Some breeds are more in tune with their wilder side than others, AmStaffs are a breed with predation issues, so are Border Collies (my breed).

Your options are to not have cats (or small dogs, or bunnies, etc) or to manage it so that the dog is never left alone with them, and they always have an escape route (and don’t rely on flimsy gates, you need solid ones that the dog can’t simply hop over or knock down.

This doesn’t say to me that the dog is unreliable around people, but I wouldn’t take this dog to the dog park!

Fantasia/2000
Fantasia/2000 (1999)

IMDB rating: 7.20

Plot: In this update of Disney’s masterpiece film mixture of animation and music, new interpretations of great works of music are presented. It begins with an abstract battle of light and darkness set to the music of Beethoveen’s Fifth Symphony. Then we see the adventures of a Humpback Whale calf and his pod set to “The Pines of Rome.” Next is the humourous story of several lives in 1930’s New York City, scored with “Rhapsody in Blue.” Following is a musical telling of the fairy tale, “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” set to Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Then a goofy Flamingo causes havoc in his flock with his yo-yo to the tune of the finale of “Carnival of the Animals.” This is followed by the classic sequence from the original film, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” starring Mickey Mouse and followed by “Pomp and Circumstance” starring Donald Duck as a harried assistant to Noah on his Ark. Finally, we see the awesome tale of the life, death and renewal of a forest in a sequence featuring the composition, “The Firebird.”

From the Bookshelf: Sharing our literature with yours – Arts …

Megan Grunthaner is a senior majoring in Secondary Education: English. She already has a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She is currently the secretary of the English Club, which meets every other Thursday at 5:15 in Raub 211.

Q. So, what are you reading right now?

A. “The Other” by David Guterson, but that’s for school, so it’s like a cop out.

Q. But are you enjoying it?

A. I LOVE IT! It reminds me a bit of myself and others I’ve known throughout my life. It also has a lot of adventures in the wilderness; climbing, which I can’t do, but which I could.

Q. So, if it weren’t for class, what would you like to be digging into?

A. “Naked Lunch” by Charles Bukowski. I heard an interview on NPR with the author [before he died] and his friend Jack Kerouac told him to write a book with the title “Naked Lunch”. I found it really interesting. It’s about his addiction to heroin. Also had some teachers complain about how choppy [throwing in chopping motion here, honest] the writing is, so I’m interested to see how it works.

Q. You have a favorite book?

A. “Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test” by Tom Wolfe, because the time in my life that I read it, I really loved it. It has this connection between musical artists and visual artists that I really love and how I ended up starting out in visual arts and moved to literary arts.

Q. And you just got done ordering a book on the internet?

A. Yes, “Armageddon in Retrospect” by Vonnegut. I’ve liked his more recent stuff because it’s more of a depiction of him and his own thoughts as he’s nearing death.

Q. So, why do you want to teach?

A. My theory teacher won’t like this, but I want to teach because I think kids are dumbing down because adults aren’t expecting much of them. I think they would get a lot more respect if they presented themselves in a more educated way. When I started reading books, my vocabulary strengthened and my ability to speak increased and I feel people take me more seriously now. I’m going to be the bitch teacher that everyone hates, but they’ll look back in twenty years and understand what I was going for. Plus, I get to yell at them and there’s nothing they can do about it.

Q. Do you have a favorite class this semester?

A. My independent study with Myers. Some of the books are ones you would read in the class anyway, but others are books that he’s really excited to talk about. Like, I want kids to read books that they want to talk to me about them. Less about a history lesson, more about making a connection.

Q. Finally, can you tell us a little about what the English Club is doing now?

A. Well, we meet every other Thursday at 5:15 in Raub 211, reading submissions of students’ work. We’re collecting cans for Feed Clinton County food drive and have a collection box at Avenue 209. We’re hosting a ghost story walk Friday, October 23rd. We’re also planning a trip to NYC later in November.

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown?
What does this book connect to? In real life? Other books?


Well the main character appears again in the book The Da Vincci Code so I guess one could say Angels and Demons is sort of a predecessor to that book.

Real life? It’s about the line where science and religion meet- there are people in that book who are Catholic physicists who work among atheists but still believe in God and science.
