I've decided to expand upon my normal rotation of Video Games, Movies, and Food to do a rather focused series of posts on Doctor Who. Well, I should actually say I'm re-doing my talks about Doctor Who. When I first had produced blog posts on Doctor who two years ago, I hadn't watched all of the series and I quite frankly bungled it up pretty fiercely. So here I am making that correction. Since 2016 is, as of the writing of this, turning out to be a fairly terrible year for Doctor Who, this is my way of coping with the mountain of bad/potentially upsetting. Steven Moffat is leaving the show, they've delayed series 10 till next year, and it gets even worse for those of us in the United States...but more about that later. Instead let's focus on this great show that you should probably be watching.
I'm making the assumption that the majority of people reading this will fall into two categories. Either you have no real knowledge of Doctor Who, or you are only familiar with the modern run of the series. This is part of the reason I wanted to go through the entirety of the show as I feel many people won't be familiar at all with the twenty six seasons that came prior to 2005. I shall eventually be covering every single available episode along the way in separate posts every Friday of this year, and editing in the links to them below. Please note that several episodes from 60's are lost to us still so I won't be covering anything that I can't view in some way. Today's topic is going to be an even more brief explanation of the series and the Doctors all at once as an introduction. Since this one is an overview, if there's any post about Doctor Who that you should read it's this one. So pat yourself on the back for reading it!
As a side note before I get started. If you don't really want to read all of this and prefer to watch videos (but don't mind swearing) then I can suggest a couple of other avenues for you. These two reviewers' work is what encouraged me to start this little adventure.

The Blockbuster Buster talks about his experience with the first 11 Doctors here.
What is the show about?
When I say "any point in time on any planet" and "saving the universe," I truly mean that. The brilliant part about the show is that you can take any concept, any setting, or any type of plot to create an episode with. The potential is unlimited. These types of stories include but are certainly not limited to: trying to stop the Aztecs from their ritualistic killings but not being able to as it's a set part of history, being trapped in a land of fiction, an alien trapped in the middle ages stealing smart people from the future to fix his ship, a race across space and time to recover pieces of a powerful artifact, finding out what crashed into earth and killed the dinosaurs, a massive court trial from the past present and future culminating in a battle of wits in a computer, underwater space vampires from the future invading World War II, fighting ghosts with Charles Dickens, a werewolf terrorizing Queen Victoria, the revolution against aliens you forget you've seen the second you look away, and a murder mystery on the Orient Express in space!
That's pretty much all that is vital to know before jumping into any random episode of the show. You'll be able to figure things out like the sonic screwdriver and the psychic paper for yourselves.
Any other helpful information?
st shows that we are used to. It has between 12 and 17 episodes (including specials) a year with most episodes being single episode stories with some 2 parters and the rare 3-part story. The classic series however is better described as a set of serials. Each story was broken into multiple 30-minute episodes. This means that a classic series' 4-part story is mostly the same as a modern 2-part episode, but then you have some classic stories that are 6, 7, 8, and 10 episodes long. This type of programming was not only common at the time but it was done to salvage the absolute joke that was the show's budget. However, doing so has the unfortunate side effect of making some stories seemingly drag on forever. This tendency towards long stories was especially prevalent in the first three Doctor's runs. As a general rule the 4 or 5 episode stories have far better pacing and don't drag anywhere near the amount of those in the 6-10 episode range. That's not to say that all the longer stories are bad or especially slow but the majority of them do drag.
Without further ado let's take a look at each version of the Doctor and my recommendation if you wish to sample a bit of their era!
The Doctors
The First Doctor
Played by William Hartnell
1963 - 1966
Interestingly enough, the man who started this whole adventure off and made any future Doctors possible is the one that people would identify with the least. The First Doctor was old, abrasive, headstrong, and a bit of a scoundrel. He shouted often, took a very long time to warm up to his companions, threatened to beat cavemen to death, tried to throw people out of the TARDIS mid-flight... I'm not really selling him to you, am I? Despite all of these qualities the First Doctor also had a whimsical charm to him. Now he did mellow out as his seasons went on; he became less of a crotchety old man and more like having dangerous but fun adventures with your wise old grandfather. You never doubted that he would get you out of a scrape due to his boldness and you never doubted the he would try to protect you. His trademarks are his cane, a high pitched "hmph", and getting his companion's names wrong.
The First Doctor lasted three seasons (and a couple stories of season 4) and his era introduced the Doctor, the TARDIS, the Daleks, the idea of having fixed points in time, the Cybermen, and the Doctor's regeneration (though it wouldn't be called that till the Pertwee era.) If you want to check out a couple of his adventures then I suggest the first episode of An Unearthly Child, The Aztecs, or The Time Meddler.

The Second Doctor
Played by Patrick Troughton
1966 - 1969
The later Doctors owe more to the Second Doctor than they do to the First if I'm being perfectly honest with you. Patrick Troughton played the character his own way thus paving the way for all future Doctors to do the same. The Second Doctor was very funny and eccentric not only in voice but also in physicality, annoying people in authority along the way. He liked to use his non-threatening demeanor and supposed buffoonery to his advantage by making his enemies believe he wasn't a threat. He would use their lowered defenses to formulate plans and ideas with simple misdirection and cunning behind the scenes. He preferred to be lighthearted but could instantaneously turn dangerous if necessary. His trademarks are playing the recorder, his Yeti-skin coat, and his catchphrase "Oh my giddy aunt!"
The Second Doctor lasted three seasons and his era introduced the Great Intelligence, The Ice Warriors, Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart, UNIT, the sonic screwdriver, the Time Lords as a race, the Time Lord distress beacons, and the first truly antagonistic Time Lord. If you want to check out a couple of his adventures then I suggest The Mind Robber, The Enemy of the World, and the last episode of The War Games.

The Third Doctor
Played by Jon Pertwee
1970 - 1974
The Third Doctor was more like a traditional action hero than he ever has been. Though he did have a sense of humor he was much more of a no nonsense man. He drove fast cars, knew martial arts and practiced swordplay all while dressing like a dandy. He was always the man in charge and commanded authority. If you happen to catch part of his era after watching any of the previous two, then you'd be in for a shock as the show changed radically. The Second Doctor was exiled to earth and much of the Third Doctor's life was spent trapped there trying to fix his TARDIS and helping out UNIT with the alien problem of the day. To top it off, the show was now in color and the cast was changed to a larger set of recurring characters instead of just the Doctor and his companions. Eventually his exile was lifted and we got to see this action hero out among the stars again.
The Third Doctor lasted five seasons and his era introduced the Autons, the Silurians, Bessie, the Master, Sarah Jane Smith (the most famous companion), the Sontarans, the name of his home planet Gallifrey, and the term regeneration. If you want to check out a couple of his adventures then I would suggest Inferno, Carnival of Monsters, or the Time Warrior.

Played by Tom Baker
1974 - 1981
To quote Diamanda Hagan here... "The Fourth Doctor is weird. That's the best way to describe him, weird." It's hard to talk about the Fourth Doctor without mentioning just how bizarre he is. Part of this comes from Tom Baker's own impossible personality. Four was the most alien that the character has ever been; he never lets you forget the the Doctor is not a human. While he certainly cares for his companions and is still the same man, he acts seemingly more erratically than ever before. One minute he's shouting, then he's cracking a joke, then he seems uninterested, then he's insulting, then he's congratulating. You never quite know what to expect from him and that's exactly why we all love him. Though Tennant is the most popular Doctor from the modern show, he's nowhere near the powerhouse that is Tom Baker. His era changed in storytelling quite a bit; at first it was gothic horror taking influence from famous works, then it became quite silly and almost comical at times, then it went into straight up standard science fiction. His trademarks are his extra long scarf, his love of jelly babies, and of course asking "Would you like a jelly baby?"
The Fourth Doctor lasted seven seasons and his era introduced Davros, the Cyberman's allergy to gold, the Zygons, Karn and the Sisterhood, and K-9. If you want to check out a couple of his adventures then I would suggest Pyramids of Mars, The Brain of Morbius, The Deadly Assassin, Horror of Fang Rock, or City of Death.

Played by Peter Davison
1982 - 1984
The Fifth Doctor was in many ways the opposite of the Fourth. Five was a very human acting Doctor; the first one to really be so. He was young, kind, gentle, noble and generally non-threatening... not in a Second Doctor way where he would lure enemies into a false sense of security though. He was just generally non-threatening and meek unless pushed to the absolute limit. He took time out of his adventure to check on the physical, emotional, and psychological welfare of his companions. The Fifth Doctor hated violence and avoided it at all cost. More often he would win the day by a combination of ingenuity, his companions actions, and sheer dumb luck. He was also the first Doctor since Hartnell to have a companion die. His trademarks were his love of cricket, and the stick of celery on his lapel.
The Fifth Doctor lasted for three seasons and his era destroyed the sonic screwdriver till it returned in he McGann movie, and it had the last pure historical (a story with no science fiction elements outside the Doctor, TARDIS and companions.) If you want to check out a couple of his adventures then I would suggest Earthshock or The Caves of Androzani.

The Sixth Doctor
Played by Colin Baker
1984 - 1986
The Sixth Doctor is one of the more unique Doctors to have come around. Six was loud, brash, arrogant, theatrical and had an almost insane devotion to doing good across the universe. He's the kind of person who is going to save the world and he doesn't care what you think about him because he knows he's amazing. He also bears the ridiculous reputation of being the worst Doctor. That claim is absolute garbage! Colin Baker is an excellent actor and an excellent Doctor. It's just a shame that this unique and great portrayal was forever tarnished by the production of the show. His era is the most rocky behind the scenes as the writing was just ok in his best stories, really strange production decisions ruled with reckless abandon, the show went on hiatus, and higher ups wanted to cancel the show entirely. That, coupled with his first story, spelled doom for this Doctor and it's a shame, but I'll talk more about that when I talk about each individual story.
The Sixth Doctor lasted for two seasons and his era introduced the idea of an alternate incarnation or representation of the Doctor in the character of the Valeyard... and idea later used in the modern show with the Dream Lord and to some extent the War Doctor. If you want to check out a couple of his adventures then I would suggest Vengeance on Varos or Attack of the Cybermen. Be warned however that none of Six's era are great classics; these two are just the best the show has to offer of this era. Apparently if you want the absolute best stuff from the Sixth Doctor then you should check out the Big Finish Audio Adventures...something I have yet to do.

Played by Sylvester McCoy
1987 - 1989, 1996
To quote Diamanda Hagan once again, "The Seventh Doctor started off as a crapper reboot of Two." He was short, seemingly non-threatening, and goofy. He wasn't using this to his advantage in situations either he was just a bit of a clown for no exact reason. In between his first and second season, however, Sylvester McCoy realized that he had gotten the character wrong and between himself and writer Andrew Cartmel re-tooled the Seventh Doctor into something amazing. He began to be a master manipulator who was planning things non-stop. He manipulated enemies, played games with would-be gods, and in the process was generally five steps ahead of them. A few times we discover that he had arranged the victory before the first episode of the story had even begun though only he would have known that at the time. While he still had his quirky whimsical ways, the Doctor was much more mysterious and threatening person than he had been in several lifetimes. His trademarks are his hat and his question mark umbrella.
The Seventh Doctor lasted for three seasons. While his era didn't really introduce anything, the last two seasons were great; the best seasons that the show had produced since Tom Baker. His era saw the last on screen appearance of Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart in the main show, and the last two stories of his tenure can honestly be seen as templates for the new show. If you want to check out a couple of his adventures then I would suggest Remembrance of the Daleks, Ghost Light, or The Curse of Fenric. Though I have to warn you, If you choose Ghost Light prepare to be highly confused as it's still very good but almost completely incomprehensible.

Played by Paul McGann
1996, 2013
Doctor Who was cancelled in 1989. As such we didn't receive any new episodes of the show until it's attempted revival with the 1996 movie starring the Eighth Doctor. Eight is probably one of the hardest to describe as he literally has only been on-screen twice. That coupled with the fact that a good portion of the movie is spent with the Doctor in his post-regeneration amnesia state. The best I can describe him, The Eighth Doctor is charming, somewhat befuddled, and full of youthful optimism and joy. In many respects, He's sort of a "reset" Doctor: the kind of man you would expect if you took all of the essential pieces of the Doctor and made him somewhat generic while still being different from his other selves. When he returned very briefly in 2013, Eight had far more confidence than we had previously seen but he was still just as charming whimsical and optimistic. I'm not sure if it's just Paul McGann being an excellent actor or what, but even though we've barely known the Eighth Doctor he's one of my favorites. If we were lucky enough to have a full season of Eight he would probably be my favorite Doctor.
The Eighth Doctor lasted for one movie and a mini-episode. His "era" brought the show into a more modern mindset as we see him having a slight romantic relationship with his companion, a first for the Doctor. If you want to check out his adventures then do yourself a favor and just watch both Doctor Who: The Movie, and Night of the Doctor. Just a warning though, the movie looks gorgeous but it fairly often makes no sense. He also has several entries on the Big Finish Audio Adventures if you just need more of Eight.

Played by John Hurt
Although we don't learn about the War Doctor until much later, his rightful place in the Doctor's personal timeline is here so I might as well cover him now. The in-universe explanation for why the Doctor was gone from 1996-2005 is that he was partaking in the Time War, a war between the Time Lords and the Daleks. The Eighth Doctor realized he couldn't run from the war anymore and gave up his name of "Doctor" in order to regenerate and become a warrior. The War Doctor has lived the horror and hardship of a non-stop war and it has affected his personality. He is a more hardened and serious individual than most of what we have been used to. In the words of the Tenth Doctor, the War Doctor has a sort of "posh gravity thing." While he always is looking for a way to end the Time War in a manner that the Doctor would find acceptable, by the time we meet him he has lost all hope and plans to kill the Daleks and the Time Lords, himself included in order to save the world.
The War Doctor lasted for one episode only, the 50th Anniversay special. Simply check out The Day of the Doctor to see him in action. However if you want more War Doctor, so far one novel has been created involving his tenure in the Time War and the Big Finish Audio Adventures are currently working on a series of stories featuring him.
Played by Christopher Eccleston
The Ninth Doctor is the soul survivor of the Time War. He is the last of the Time Lords and it weighs heavily on his conscience since he caused their genocide to end the Time War (we later found out different information but the Doctor won't know this till late in the Eleventh Doctor's tenure.) As such, this is the darkest and most brooding incarnation of the Doctor we've seen. I don't mean dark and brooding in an emo teenager way, it's just that this Doctor is more distant and hurt than we've ever seen him. He embraces the darkness as he was born from war. Nine is effectively going through a sort of post-traumatic stress and has to learn to heal himself, allow others to get close to him, and love once again. When it comes down to it, all this Doctor wants is a happy ending and for everybody to live just this once. He's looking for a reason to be alive and by the end of his season, he finds it! His trademarks are his leather jacket and his catchphrase "Fantastic!"
The Ninth Doctor lasted for one season and his era revived Doctor Who as a whole. It introduced the Time War and standardized the look of regeneration. If you want to check out a couple of his adventures I would suggest Dalek or The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances two parter.

Played by David Tennant
The Tenth Doctor was "born" into this world with a new lease on life. His goal was to help people across the universe avoid the tragedy that he had to endure. The Tenth Doctor is energetic, fast talking, kind, loving, and constantly makes pop culture references. He's around to have a good time and help people along the way. He also absolutely hates violence. In many respects he's a sort of hyperactive recreation of the Fifth Doctor but with a bit of a twist and an upped coolness factor. However there is a glimmer of darkness hidden deep within that only shows up on rare occasions, generally when he gets overly emotional or his head gets too big. He IS the Oncoming Storm after all. He's the most famous of the modern Doctors and for a good reason. His trademarks are the spiked hair, pinstripe suit and long coat, and his catchphrase "Allons-y!"
The Tenth Doctor lasted for three seasons plus several specials and his era introduced the yearly Christmas specials, the Ood, the Judoon, and the Weeping Angels. If you want to check out a couple of his adventures I would suggest The Girl in the Fireplace, Human Nature/The Family of Blood two parter, or Blink.

Played by Matt Smith
2010 - 2013
You never forget your first Doctor, and Eleven was mine. The Eleventh Doctor is a child trapped in a man's body. Having decided that it's better to have fun and help people rather than beat yourself up over the mistakes of the past, he has moved on from the horrors of the Time War. Eleven is the youngest face that the Doctor has been so far and his personality matches. He's eccentric and funny while occasionally being a bit flirtatious and a show-off. Eleven just wants to keep on running so that the fun never has to stop; so that nothing has to end. He gets distracted fairly easily and comes to a situation with a childlike hope that everything is going to be better than it may actually turn out to be. That being said, just like a child he can throw some wicked temper tantrums and lose his cool if you push the wrong buttons. He's a Doctor that needs companions because he's most likely to do something reckless if he's not stopped. His trademarks are his bow tie, the assortment of hats that he occasionally wears, and his catchphrase "Geronimo!"
The Eleventh Doctor lasted for three seasons and two specials. His era introduced the Silence and gave us closure to the Time War. If you want to check out a couple of his adventures then I suggest The Eleventh Hour, Vincent and the Doctor, or The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon two parter.

Played by Peter Capaldi
2014 - 2017
The Twelfth Doctor is a harder one for me to describe. He just sort of is who he is. In some respects he's a teenager trapped in a man's body as he doesn't really care what anyone else says/does/knows... he's just going to do whatever anyway because he's the Doctor. He has the bravery, intelligence, and kindness to tackle the situation and save as many people as he can but he doesn't really have much of a concept of people's emotional well being. They survived because of his help and that should be enough for him to worry about without having to worry about "pudding brain" nonsense. In other respects he's kind of a nostalgic Doctor bringing back elements from previous Doctors together into a new concoction while bringing up the fact that he remembers these things from his past regenerations. He started wearing velvet again like the Third Doctor, he never let's you forget he's an alien like the Fourth Doctor, He plans against the universe like the Seventh Doctor etc. He's not the easiest person to get along with but if you happen to crack that shell he will go through hell for you because there are just some people who are that special.
The Twelfth Doctor lasted for three seasons and his era gave us closure as to the location of Gallifrey. If you want to check out a couple of his adventures then I would suggest Robot of Sherwood, Listen, Mummy on the Orient Express, or Extremis.

The Biggest Problem
For some reason it appears that the BBC holds malice against viewers outside of the UK especially when it comes to Doctor Who. Doctor Who really didn't take off in the US till around 2010 as they started promoting the show with much more vigor. So of course more people want to watch the show now more than ever as it had become more advertised and available in nerd shops around the country. While most people are satisfied with only watching the modern series there are several people really interested in the classic show. However finding the classic show is next to impossible.
Now there are rumors that BBC will be starting their own streaming service for the US and would have these programs and other available to us but as of the writing of this piece, there is practically no way for your average American without a large sum of money to spend on DVDs to watch these programs. I hope this changes soon because this show is far too good to not be spread across the globe!
Doctor Who really is a fantastic show with a rich history. There's simply nothing quite like it out there with the amount of versatility and imagination. I hope that this post has piqued your interest in the show or made you aware of some Who history that you previously didn't know or realize. One of the greatest pleasures of being a Whovian is bringing someone else into the fan base. If you were interested, try to track down some of these episodes for yourself so you can experience these amazing characters, planets, and stories for yourself.
This page will be edited heavily as new doctors appear and I write new material. I plan on covering each and every story/episode that can be watched and placing links to those posts with their appropriate Doctor.

"We are very fortunate to have someone with the depth of knowledge that Barney has, to assume the General Manager position. We are very confident that Barney will provide outstanding leadership as we continue to reposition Newport on the Levee for the future," said Sherry Bahrambeygui, (CEO of Newport on the Levee, LLC).
The current General Manager, Harold Dull, will retire at the end of June. "We are very grateful for the leadership, guidance and vision Harold provided during his tenure as the GM. He will be missed by all who have worked with him during the past 7 years," said Ms. Bahrambeygui.
"It's been my privilege to work with a great staff and I look forward to seeing the evolution of Newport on the Levee continue under Barney's leadership.

UNITED WAY: Forces of nature defeated by forces of human kindness
Hurricane Sandy left a trail of devastation and suffering behind last fall. The Connecticut shoreline was not spared including Clinton, Westbrook and Old Saybrook.
Generous Americans across the country responded to the need and gave millions to the United Way Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. The fund was established to help people and affected communities with long term recovery needs.
Middlesex United Way received more than $92,000 from the fund to be used in Middlesex County. We are working with local town social services staff to identify people whose needs were not covered by insurance or FEMA.
One such person is Connie Goodwin of Old Saybrook. Connie is an elderly woman who is caring for her paraplegic grandson, Eddie, who was injured in an accident, as well as her young grandchild for whom Eddie was the primary parent. Connie's home sustained a lot of damage during the storm, including flooding of her basement, tree debris, lost appliances, a broken furnace, trees that came down on and broke her fencing.
I had the pleasure of spending some time with Connie and Eddie on several occasions recently. I heard about how they adapted to having no water or running furnace for two months. I heard about the struggle to make ends meet as Connie works two part-time jobs. But mostly I heard about resiliency, the importance of a positive attitude and a can-do spirit, and hope for a better future.
So a collaboration of town officials--led by Old Saybrook Social Services Director Sue Consoli and Old Saybrook First Selectman Carl Fortuna, also a member of the Middlesex United Way Board of Directors--took action to help Connie and her family. Funds from Middlesex United Way were used to purchase materials and supplies to repair Connie's home. A mission team from a Baptist church in Green Bay, Wisconsin came last week to provide the necessary labor. The team of 31 people, mostly teens, traveled in a school bus and camped in the area. On one of my visits there, several local residents stopped by to lend their muscle and skills. They weren't the only ones. I heard stories of others who drove by, wondered what was needed, and then came back to lend a hand. Americans helping each other. It doesn't get any better than that.
So the end result is a cleaned up the property, a new fence, repairs to the deck and the ramp, a new dishwasher, a beautiful yard, fresh paint and much, much more.
Kevin Wilhelm is executive director of Middlesex United Way.

Benefits Of A Customized House
The biggest decision that would have to be made when moving in to your own house if you would like something already built or building your own. There are different benefits to both options, and it mainly depends on the personal preference of a person. Listed below are some distinct benefits of choosing a customized house.
Customized options
By choosing to build your own house there is an advantage of having the upper hand on every single detail in the building. Custom home builders Canterbury are people similar to architects but would adjust every minute detail to your preference, from carpets and rugs, to light entry, everything will be your choice and liking.
With customized houses, the client would get to decide what he wants, where he wants it and use it must fulfill. Whether it is a lobby with an open concept, or rooms placed on the sides of a corridor, attached or non-attached bathrooms, it would all be useful to the client based on his liking and preference, and gets to make it useful in his/her own unique manner.
Custom touch
Customized houses reflect the owner's personality and taste in different things, unlike ready made architect designed homes in Bayside.By working with an architect and an interior designer, one can customize every little brick that would be used to build the house. Depending on what kind of a porch is needed, or the type of furniture and appliances required to be placed, would rely on the personality of the person and would reflect every bit of customization put into making the house.
Choice of the land
Depending on the fondness of the client, he/she can decide what kind of land and where they prefer it to be. While some of them like to stay amidst the hustle and bustle in the city, some other prefer living in the country side without too much business, by choosing to build your own home, the location and surrounding can be decided upon your own terms and justifications.
Budget flexibility
Buying a house that has already been designed and built is much more expensive than building your own. The budget used for the customized house can be altered and adjusted with the material costs. It will not bear the cost of overpriced materials used by the contractor who built the ready-made house. The points given above show the discrete differences and advantages of choosing a customized house instead of one that is available on the shelf. Selecting this option helps in the establishing of a personal touch as well.

Everyone is very concerned about pedestrians getting run over by silent, electric cars.
Today's invention addresses another such problem of the future.
Drivers in general are increasingly insulated from their environment. Hearing other traffic noises and the sounds made by one's own vehicle is essential to safe driving, and yet we can't even open a window because of the volume of sound and the unpleasantness of the pollution.
I propose therefore to fit cars (including the quieter electric cars to come) with a set of microphones.
Some would be directed to listen to the sounds of nearby vehicles (especially over the driver's shoulder). Others would provide realtime information about the sounds being made by the engine, gearbox, tyres and suspension.
All of these noises could be moderated electronically so that the cacophony was limited in the otherwise quiet interior.
These sounds would be played into the interior via directionally situated speakers -So that the sound of a car driving too close in a blindspot could be located and boosted in order to make the driver more aware of the potential danger.

Raye Lochert, Known for his Sense and Horse Sense
No games or tricks – just practical horsemanship. This is Raye Lochert. Though the industry has an insatiable desire for knowledge and is exploding with information, trainers, and "new" methods, the horse hasn't changed. And neither has the need for simple and sound solutions to resolve common problems and increase performance with the horse. "I'm not interested in reinventing the wheel. I just want to relay information in a way that makes sense to the average person. If I find it confusing or complicated, the horse doesn't have a chance". Training and conducting horsemanship clinics all over the US and at his home ranch in Northern California, Raye is considered one of the most accessible teachers, using an approachable style that sets him apart and allows for greater comprehension. His clients feel empowered, capable of handling their own horses, no matter the discipline or level of riding.

By Raye Lochert
There is a popular board game called "The Worst Case Scenario." The object of the game is to successfully navigate unexpected and dangerous scenarios. In one version, the winning player will not only finish with the most gold tokens, they must keep the most body parts. I think a useful game for horsemen and women might be called "Worst Case Scenario—Trail Riding." Players would win by staying on the trail, gathering gold "sanity" tokens and, of course, keeping all their body parts!
Trail riding is the most popular thing to do with horses. More people are on the trail than all the competition events combined. Why? We love the relaxation of a scenic ride. As do LOTS of cyclists, hikers, dog walkers, and campers. With all these people sharing space there is bound to be some congestion, frustration, or worse. With a bit of forethought and preparation, you can be ready for the "worst case scenario," and maybe help keep someone else safe, too.
While hikers need to look where they are going, bicyclists need to be careful and dog walkers need to keep dogs under control. This is also our responsibility with a much larger animal—our horse. All too often we check out and then something happens. That's when we ask our horse for their full attention. By then it is too late.
A sensitive flight animal, horses are usually aware of something well before it actually spooks them. You may be chatting with a friend or day dreaming when that bike comes around the corner, or the hiker pops out of the brush, or the dog starts barking. When your horse is spinning and jumping it is too late to ask them to pay attention. They are busy reacting and, in their minds, surviving. To avoid that unpleasant scenario we need to ride proactively. This doesn't mean a death grip on the reins or a tight body in the saddle, but rather an ongoing, relaxed communication with our horse. Our horse's focus should be on us.
So how do we accomplish this? With controlled riding. An arena is a great place to practice the moves and cues you need your horse to understand when it counts. For me, that includes a horse that collects, turns left and right, stops and backs up with ease. Notice I am not asking for anything too demanding, just the basics. If my horse will do these five things easily, and with little pressure, in the arena then I can prepare for the craziness of the trail and the possibility of the worst case scenario.
How does one safely transition from the relative quiet of an arena to the potentially emotionally charged environment of the trail? By adding speed. With speed comes emotion—in both horse and rider. With this in mind, I practice my basic moves at speed. First I start with a walk, then a trot and then I practice at a lope. The faster I go the more the emotional level rises in the horse. High emotion out on the trail equals a lower performance in the horse. The same thing occurs in the arena, but I can control it more effectively.
For example, let's consider the stop. In the arena I work on my stops at the walk before going to the trot. This sets the horse up for success. As soon as I increase the speed to the trot the level of performance in the stop goes down. Now I can back down to the walk and work my way up to the trot again. Soon the horse will stop at the trot as well as they do at the walk, if not better. Once I can stop my horse 100% of the time at the trot softly and using the hindquarters I increase my speed to a lope. I do not expect the horse to stop as well at the lope as when they were trotting.
When I can do the basics with ease in the arena, I move outdoors. This is an area such as a pasture or even a quiet dirt road. Just being in a different place is enough to raise a horse's emotions. Once I feel like I have control in an outside arena environment I will go the park. I don't start with the busiest park, but neither will I choose the quietest. When riding my horse in the park I am not riding as though I were in the arena. I ask for the basics whenever I feel that the horse's attention is wandering. If my horse starts looking around a lot I ask him to do something. This draws his attention back to me and he becomes less concerned or aware of the things in the environment.
For example, let's say my horse notices a mountain biker long before I do. As soon as I see or feel his attention divert from me I ask him to collect up. This will get him to lower his head. As the bicyclist approaches, I will ask him to move his shoulders to the right or left. While we pass I talk to the bicyclist in a normal tone and keep asking my horse for a response to some cue. If I can keep my horse focused on listening to me then he has less time to pay attention to the object of his fear. Another way of thinking about it is that I am purposely distracting him. This is similar to if I were walking with you down a street in a dangerous part of town and I noticed you were fearful. I might distract you with questions to avoid allowing your thoughts to wander to potential dangers. Your mind would start working inwardly, versus an outward focus.
After a while your horse will become more accustomed to the distractions of the trail and his emotions will have to go much higher to reach the panic level. Additionally, your responses will grow with practice, adding a level of confidence that will be noticed by your horse. This gives him security and, ultimately, more confidence. A win-win situation.
By preparing for the worst you actually set yourself up for the best, all while preserving you and your horse's sanity (not to mention your body parts!). Remember to enjoy your horse.

North Carolina's Republican leadership for their continued refusal to allow a clean up or down vote on the full repeal of HB2. Signed into law a year ago tomorrow by former Governor Pat McCrory — who lost his bid for re-election over that unconscionable decision — HB2 has cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars and continues to inflict profound harm on North Carolina's people, reputation, and economy.
HRC and Equality North Carolina also released a new video taking a look back over the past year and the very real harm HB2 has caused. The video makes clear that North Carolina cannot afford one more day of the deeply discriminatory law.
"It's now a full year since HB2 was signed into law, and the shameful political gamesmanship we're seeing from North Carolina's GOP leadership is beyond the pale," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "Instead of taking meaningful action, North Carolina's Republican leadership has given excuse after excuse as to why they can't allow a clean up or down vote. To be clear, their reckless obstructionism makes them directly responsible for the continued harm inflicted on the state. No more excuses. Republican leadership must immediately allow a clean vote on HB2 repeal."
Over the past year, instead of repealing HB2, North Carolina politicians have passed legislation that is shamefully trivial and frivolous in comparison to the urgent need to repeal HB2. For example, North Carolina lawmakers:
- Passed HB 469, which altered the way the town of Sunset Beach could use money earned from on-street parking meters.
- Passed HB 292, "an act to require a license to operate a beach bingo game…"
- Passed SB 132, "an act to establish a season for trapping foxes in Carteret County."
- Introduced SB 303, which increase the penalty of traveling under the speed limit when "operating a motor vehicle in the leftmost travel lane of a controlled-access or partially controlled-access highway"
- Filed SB 313, "an act to increase the number of barrels of malt beverages a small brewery may self-distribute."

Our Reflections on the Game
Advice and reflections from the Glanville Team
Thoughts from James
It was hot in St. Louis, but I can't judge the stadium on the weather. We were lucky to have a suite of seats. The stadium was clean, LOTS of red and BIG Cardinals fans! It was Father's Day so lots of dads were there.James
Christie's Thoughts
Beautiful day at a nice stadium, and yes, those St. Louis folks take their baseball seriously! Go Cardinals. It was a sea of red. We noted most of the stadium left by the 5th inning – it was too hot to sit in the sun! We watched the entire game, but we had air conditioning!
Beautiful day at the stadium – too bad the home team lost!Christie
Some snapshots from the game.
Thank you for following along! Stay tuned, next we are heading to Queens, New York to the Citi Field, on June 21st, 2016. See you after!

In this, our third and final post in our series on the newly adopted Provisional Article and the effect on financial restructuring in Turkey, we explore the considerations and recommendations of Esin Attorney Partnership on the tax front.
1) Financial Restructuring Considerations
The Provisional Article provides various tax reliefs and exemptions in relation to financial restructuring transactions.
The Omnibus Law's general preamble states that the purposes of the amendments to the Banking Law are (i) resolving financial issues that have or may arise in the real sector due to the macroeconomic developments (ii) restoring solvency to debtors in financial trouble by facilitating the operation of reconciliation platforms that include financial restructuring programs; and (iii) establishing the legal infrastructure enabling debtors to comply with their obligations towards financial institutions.
With those broad purposes in mind, various tax exemptions were provided by the Provisional Article for financial restructuring transactions implemented under the Framework Agreements process.
- These financial restructuring transactions are exempt from fees under the Law on Fees No. 492 (including judiciary fees), and the documents to be issued in connection with the restructuring (including framework agreements and financial restructuring agreements) are exempt from stamp tax under the Stamp Tax Law No: 488 (the "Stamp Tax Law").
- Amounts collected by creditor institutions are exempt from the banking and insurance transaction tax under the Expenditures Taxes Law No. 6802.
- Loans granted and to be granted in connection with such restructurings are exempt from the resource utilization support fund deduction.
However, the tax exemptions would only apply to transfers between the transferor and the original creditor (and transfers between creditors) such that, for example, if the assets and collateral in question were restructured by a party that acquired it who then proceeded to transfer, that would result in above tax implications, which would only make restructurings more challenging.

Man, this is a great play.
Reminds me of the Virginia Tech game and Dustin Ware's behind-the-back pass to Albert Jackson for the stuff.
The main difference is that when Ware and Jackson teamed up on the play on t.v., I understood the commentators! Ha!
Anyway, Daniels take the no-look, between the legs bounce pass from a teammate and flushes it.

Steel Company v. Citizens for Better Environment
RESPONDENT: Citizens for Better Environment
LOCATION: Randon Bragdon's Dental Office
DECIDED BY: Rehnquist Court (1986-2005)
LOWER COURT: United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
ARGUED: Oct 06, 1997
DECIDED: Mar 04, 1998
David A. Strauss - Argued the cause for the respondent
Irving L. Gornstein - Argued the cause for the United States, as amicus curiae, by special leave of court, supporting the respondent
Sanford M. Stein - Argued the cause for the petitioner
Facts of the case
In 1995, Citizens For A Better Environment, a environmental protection organization, filed an enforcement action for relief under the Emergency Planning And Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986's (EPCRA) Citizen-Suit Provision. Citizens alleged that the Chicago Steel And Pickling Company had violated the EPCRA by failing to file timely toxic-and hazardous-chemical storage and emission reports since 1988. Ultimately, Chicago Steel filed all of the overdue forms with the relevant agencies by the time the complaint was acted on. Arguing this fact and that the EPCRA does not allow suit for purely historical violations, Chicago Steel filed a motion to dismiss, contending that Citizens' allegation of untimeliness in filing was not a claim upon which relief could be granted. The District Court agreed. In reversing, the Court of Appeals concluded that the EPCRA authorizes citizen suits for purely past violations.
Does an environmental organization have standing to bring suit against companies that fail to meet the Emergency Planning And Community Right-To-Know Act Of 1986's deadlines for filing toxic-and hazardous-chemical storage and emission reports? Does the EPCRA authorize suits for purely past violations?
Media for Steel Company v. Citizens for Better Environment
Audio Transcription for Oral Argument - October 06, 1997 in Steel Company v. Citizens for Better Environment
William H. Rehnquist:
We'll hear argument now in Number 96-643, Steel Company, also known as Chicago Steel and Pickling Company, v. Citizens for a Better Environment.
Mr. Stein.
Sanford M. Stein:
Mr. Chief Justice and may it please the Court:
This case involves the 60-day notice period in the citizens provision of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act, and whether that period is intended to operate as a cure, thereby obviating a citizen's suit, or whether citizens may sue for wholly past violations even after cure.
As found by this Court in Gwaltney v. Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and again in Hallstrom v. Tillamook County, the overriding congressional purpose of environmental citizen provisions is to prompt compliance with environmental laws.
Litigation ought to be used as a last resort, when other methods have failed.
On receiving a 60-day notice under EPCRA, the Steel Company, a small manufacturing company, came into complete compliance, filing the 15 forms required, all within the cure period.
The respondent, Citizens for a Better Environment, sued anyway.
They alleged no current or ongoing violations.
Sandra Day O'Connor:
Let me ask you a question, please, if I may, Mr. Stein.
What if it were the EPA that were coming in asking for penalties to be imposed after the fact of a cure, so to speak, after the forms were actually filed, but the EPA then comes in and says, well, they should have been filed on X date and they weren't, and they've now filed them, but we want a penalty for every day of the nonfiling.
Under the statutory scheme, is that permissible?
Sanford M. Stein:
Yes, Justice O'Connor, under our reading of the statute the EPA's enforcement policy comes under section 325 of the statute, a wholly different section than section 326, the citizen provision.
Sandra Day O'Connor:
Well, the citizen's suit provision I suppose is designed to be a sort of private attorneys general approach, and to let citizens pick up the slack if the EPA doesn't do it, and is there any reason why the citizens suit shouldn't have the same authority, then, to come in and seek a penalty for the failure to file on time?
Sanford M. Stein:
Several reasons, as we see it.
First of all, section 326 is far more limited, giving citizens a more limited enforcement and assistance role than the EPA's authority under section 325.
In the citizen provision, a citizen may commence a suit upon the failure to complete or submit the forms.
The Sixth Circuit, in analyzing the same language in the United Musical case, found that it was the failure that Congress was looking for.
EPA's authority is far broader than that.
Also, section 326(c) of the statute specifically points out that citizens are able to invoke the court's jurisdiction in the evidence of an enforcement or an injunctive remedy, and then at that time the court can apply penalties if it has jurisdiction through 326, section 326(c).
In that respect, the citizen provision of EPCRA is very similar to the citizen provision of the Clean Water Act that this Court analyzed in Gwaltney.
In Gwaltney, the Court found many reasons to find that Congress did not expect... intend citizens to sue for wholly past violations, but one of the most convincing was section 505(a) of the Clean Water Act.
There, also, the Court found that before a citizen could invoke the court's jurisdiction it had... there had to be some kind of injunctive or abatement remedy that it was seeking and then, and only then, would the Court be willing to address penalties relative to a citizens' action.
Beyond that, and further answering, we think that if... even if the court below were somehow correct that they can seek wholly past violations, we think it fails the Article III standing test because on that date any injury that would befall a citizen had been fully cured.
Anthony M. Kennedy:
What about the attorneys fees and costs that the claimant might have incurred in investigating the claim and filing it?
Sanford M. Stein:
Justice Kennedy, the costs that they incur investigating are also costs that they cannot recover if the EPA comes in under the... under EPCRA.
They are barred from suing if EPA comes in under the--
Anthony M. Kennedy:
They can recover those costs if the violation is not cured after 60 days and the suit proceeds and they prevail, can they--
Sanford M. Stein:
--If they prevail, then they can assert a likelihood for fees--

To those who say there is no sissy or transformation path included. That has been added in the latest version of the game right now(v0.35).
Rest assured I read all of your reviews and try to work it out in the game so keep sharing your feedback please!
There is no TF in this game. Despite hard work that was put into creating this game there is nothing to do. Neverending grind without purpose.
All TF themes in description are just baits.
Was caught already twice.
The graphics are good, the concept is good....but it actually bored me to tears. Ok, not to tears...but to the point where I asked myself why the hell I was clicking all this stuff.
Really solid start, writing is good with not overdone or too long passages and commissioned art is pretty high quality. Will keep watching this game develope cause I like games here with slow progression instead of the rather dull insta transformations that can be found in other submissions.
The only complaint I have is that you should tell the player in the start that willpower = 0 = game over.
I've played a lot of games on this site, especially those focused on sissy/submissive content, and I've been writing my own submissive content with other people for a long time, and I can honestly say that (at this moment) this game is excellent. It's clean, well presented, and has four or five days worth of content. It isn't as heavy on the writing as other games are, but mechanically and from a story standpoint, it's really well done. It's simple, easy to work out, and presents choices clearly so you don't have to guess and hope - if you want to work in one direction, you can, and you can do it quickly.

Right from its start, week 5 was great. I had a blast at the AKT Jam Monday evening. It was literally a dance party! Honestly, sometimes it is hard to believe that this is legitimate working out. Of course, I know it is….. my legs and butt remind me all the time. I especially enjoyed the JAM because I got to take the class with quite a few of the ladies from the Transformation program. I have to say, it's been really great getting to know my fellow Transformers. Par for the course in the AKT community…..everyone in this Transformation program is very supportive of one another and really easy to bond with. We each may have our own individual goals, but we are all on the Transformation journey together and it is a huge help for me to have such great teammates.
Another highpoint of week 5, was getting to meet with Anna and learn about the fundamentals of AKT. She presented us with very easy to understand explanations regarding the strategic arrangement of the AKT classes and went through the proper form for all of the basic moves. I love learning about the why, the what and the how, so getting an understanding of why certain moves are selected and what the body should be doing to execute them, really resonates with me. It was a great education and I feel like it will help me do what I'm being asked to do in class even better now.
Toward the end of week 5, I had another personal training session with Sarah. The private sessions are such a bonus! It provides you with an hour of individualized attention and an opportunity for your trainer to hone in on your personal needs. (My need is apparently to draw my belly button to my spine! I heard that a lot!) Sarah's spunk and energy are completely infectious. You just can't help but want to jump on that enthusiasm train of hers. The session was awesome; the perfect combination or hard work, sweat, fun and learning to work this body a little bit better.
And so, with the new insight I got from Anna on how to navigate the movements in the classes, the extra practice I got with Sarah and, of course, the unwavering support I am feeling from everyone at AKT, I now feel more prepared to tackle another week. Looking forward to week 6!

Public Health Ads That Stigmatize Smokers May Backfire
Anti-smoking ad campaigns that stigmatize smokers may actually have the opposite effect, prompting some people to become defensive and light up even more, according to a new study published in the journal Social Science & Medicine. The findings reveal the potential for negative stereotypes to backfire, especially when it comes to public health campaigns.
The researchers found that while stigmatizing smoking does work on some people, the tactic may be damaging to others, especially for those who are more vulnerable with fewer coping resources. In these cases, the stigma leads to an even lower drop in self-esteem, making it harder for them to quit.
The authors suggest that health policies may want to focus instead on more positive strategies, reinforcing the benefits of giving up smoking rather than reiterating negative stereotypes.
"Consequences of stigmatizing stereotypes ranged from increased intentions to quit smoking to increased stress to greater resistance to quitting smoking," said Dr. Rebecca Evans-Polce, postdoctoral fellow at the Methodology Center and the Bennett Pierce Prevention Research Center of Pennsylvania State.
For the study, Evans-Polce and colleagues from the U.K., Brazil and Germany conducted a review of almost 600 articles relating to smoking self-stigma. While the evidence shows that stigmatizing smoking may prompt some individuals to quit, the authors say that health policies could instead focus on more positive strategies.
"The stereotypes that smokers deal with are almost universally negative," said Dr. Sara Evans-Lacko, research fellow at London School of Economics and Political Science.
For example, one study showed that 30 to 40 percent of smokers felt high levels of family disapproval and social unacceptability and 27 percent felt they were treated differently. Another study found that 39 percent of smokers believed that people thought less of them.
"The stigma for parents who smoke is particularly strong," added Evans-Lacko.
In multiple studies, smokers used words such as "leper," "outcast," "bad person," "low-life," and "pathetic" to describe their own behavior.
The stigma surrounding smokers may lead to a variety of negative outcomes, including relapses, increased resistance to quitting, self-induced social isolation, and higher stress levels.
Other studies highlighted gender biases in smoking, showing that Pakistani and Bangladeshi women who smoked were seen as "shameful" and "tainted" while male smokers from the same culture were viewed as "macho." Another study showed that females in general regret smoking more than men do.
Evans-Lacko said the findings reveal that vulnerable groups with fewer coping skills benefit more from ads that focus on the benefits of giving up rather than on the stigma of smoking.
"Future research is needed to understand what factors are related to how individuals respond to smoking stigma," said Evans-Polce.

This afternoon I was watching a favorite movie of mine, I Am Sam. Both Sean Penn and Michelle Pfeiffer give touching performances – he as a developmentally challenged single father, she as an emotionally challenged corporate lawyer. Each of them has a child they love deeply, whom they parent despite their own limitations.
Today is "Autism Sunday" (February 8), and as I was surfing some sites on this condition I came across a list of movies on autism.com that portray this condition, most with a degree of empathy.
Seeing I Am Sam listed here made me realize just how complex – and how incredibly frustrating – the condition must be, both for the afflicted and their loved ones. Whereas in Rain Man the afflicted character (Raymond Babbit, played by Dustin Hoffman) could count cards and multiply multiple digit numbers, he would go ballistic if touched. Sam, by contrast could scarcely read and had the intellectual capacity of a seven-year-old – but he clearly adores his daughter, holding her and tending to her needs. (Asking her father why he's "different" than the other daddies, Lucy brushes off his apologies with, "I'm lucky … none of the other daddies come to the playground.")
In The Other Sister, the character portrayed by Juliette Lewis takes computer classes, has her own apartment, and even gets married; in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (another of my favorite flicks), Arnie requires constant supervision to keep him from climbing water towers and dying of hypothermia in his own bathtub. In Little Man Tate, the boy Fred displays characteristics of Asperger's syndrome – with breathtaking intellectual capacity, he clearly longs for friendships but lacks the capacity for true emotional bonds – even with his mother.
It is this emotional detachment that must be most difficult for family members, experiencing the prolonged dependence of a child without the natural bond that goes with it. Those with children who have ODD can also relate to this, as can foster and adoptive parents of traumatized children. We yearn for the closeness – the hugs and kisses – but know that for the foreseeable future these gestures (if we can give them at all) are likely to be entirely one-sided. Even so, we continue to love … as parents, it's what we do. We try to find and celebrate the small victories: the spontaneous pictures, the humor, the quiet companionship of a child who is content just to have you near.
Today we remember all those touched by autism and Asperger's syndrome. May you find joy in the journey, and grace all along the way.

|Obama speaks from the heart, but what about the gays?
Don't get me wrong -- I'm not surprised by his speech last night.
It was rather long and boring and Obama repeated the lofty and down-home themes that we hear in EVERY state of the union address: "The America of the future must ride a bullet train to Mars built by small businesses staffed by people with community college degrees that sit around the kitchen table trying to make ends meet while praying to a vengeful god."
-Blah blah blah...
(standing ovation)
In the days leading up to the speech, I could smell the bait that was tossed to the homos. The gay hero from the Tucson shooting, Daniel Hernandez, was invited to sit with Michelle Obama during the speech. That gesture (and a mini-editorial in the New York Times from Dan Savage) helped build anticipation and speculation that perhaps Obama would throw us a bone as he did in his 2010 SOTU speech.

It was a bank holiday weekend of mixed fortunes for St Albans City who picked up a 2-1 win at home to East Thurrock United on Good Friday, before losing by the same margin away at Concord Rangers on Easter Monday.
The Saints slipped out of the play-off places once again after the defeat to Concord, who climbed above both St Albans and Billericay into sixth place with just one match of the regular season remaining at home to champions Torquay United on Saturday.
Things looked to be going swimmingly for City after their game on Friday that saw both sides reduced to 10 men late on.
The Saints had to leave it late to claim the points, with two goals from Clovis Kamdjo cancelling out Amos Nasha's opening strike in the 72nd minute.
The first of Kamdjo's goals came in the 85th minute before a dramatic strike in the eighth minute of additional time sealed the win.
United took the lead when a searching delivery into the box was headed away by City skipper Tom Bender.
His clearance could only find Nasha lurking on the edge of the box and he fired a precision shot into the far corner.
Bender made up for his error just over 10 minutes later when his cross from deep was headed high into the air by Steve Sheehan.
As the ball dropped back down towards the ground, Kamdjo was quickest to react and headed it past the on-rushing Jack Giddens.
Bender's busy afternoon continued into stoppage time when he was given his marching orders for a clumsy two-footed challenge on Danny Harris.
However, a second yellow card for Ibrahim Diallo just a minute later levelled the sides.
A final twist in the tale came in the 98th minute when substitute Liam Sole jinked down the left-hand side, hit a shot towards goal that rebounded off a defender and into the path of Kamdjo who scored the game's winning goal.
Things were far less dramatic a few days later when goals in the first 20 minutes for Concord's Sam Ashford and Alex Wall gave the Saints a mountain to climb.
James Kaloczi's goal five minutes before half-time gave the visitors some belief they could still get something from the game, but no breakthrough was to found in the second half and City slipped out of the play-off places.
Manager Ian Allinson told the club website that his side had simply been made to pay due to a lack of quality.
"It's no lie to it, it's probably been like that for the last 10 games," he said.
"Today we've not got away with - we've paid for poor quality, poor decision making and it all happened in that first 20, 25 minutes.
"We got back to 2-1 and I thought we'd get something out of it, but we can't give teams that are in and around the area that we are like this lot a two-goal start."
