Aboriginal Medicine and Healing Practices | Return to Aboriginal Health theme page |
Every clinician must recognize that every treatment has a cultural component. Western medicine is founded on a scientific basis, but we must recognize that this scientific basis holds no inherent guarantee of quality or efficacy. While we may teach you the importance of evidence-based medicine, there are many therapies for which we have not yet accumulated evidence of effectiveness, so should you dismiss all therapies that are not yet proven? One suggestion is to proceed with an open but enquiring mind - be sceptical (i.e. question things), but not cynical (i.e. dismiss ideas and find fault with them). The culture of Western medicine places diagnosis as a central goal, whereas other approaches, including Aboriginal medicine, see it as less central and pay more attention to finding a safe environment in which the patient may recover. For conditions such as mental disorders, this latter approach may prove more effective than struggling to attach a label to the disorder.
Here are some background notes intended to make you aware of some common Aboriginal healing practices that you may hear mentioned by Aboriginal patients you treat. You should at least have a general understanding of what these involve.
Medicine Wheel
The medicine wheel symbolizes the interconnection of all life, the various cycles of nature, and how life represents a circular journey. The number four is sacred to the many Aboriginal peoples of North America and can represent many things: the four seasons, the four parts of a person (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual); the four kingdoms (animal, mineral, plant and human); the four sacred medicines (sweetgrass, tobacco, cedar and sage). Hence, you may see the medicine wheel presented in several different ways:
(1) The four points of the compass, each with a guiding spirit, symbolize stages in the life journey. The East, direction of the daily birth of the sun, represents a person's birth and early years. The South relates to childhood and intellectual growth. The West symbolizes adulthood and introspection, while the North represents the old age, wisdom and the spiritual aspects of life. The centre of the wheel is symbolic of Mother Earth and the Creator, and their role in the beginning and continuation of life. |
http://www.webpanda.com/There/uot_directions-colors.htm |
(2) The four points can also represent the balance between spiritual (East), mental (North), physical (West) and emotional (South) aspects of health. | |
(3) The wheel can also represent values and decisions. Here, values (drawn in the East, where the sun rises) influence decisions taken in the mental realm (drawn in the North, at the top). Then, decisions are implemented in the physical realm (West), and actions produce reactions in the emotional realm (South). Finally, these reactions provide feedback into the value system, completing the circle of value - action - evaluation. | |
(4) The quadrants of the wheel are often coloured red, yellow, black, white or green. |
For a traditional healer, an imbalance (e.g., the loss of traditional values, perhaps resulting from experiences in residential schools) may affect health decisions (e.g., leading to alcoholism). Here is an article on the medicine wheel in healing.
The Four Sacred Medicines
Sweetgrass (the North) is used by almost all Aboriginal peoples in North America for ritual cleansing. When Sweetgrass is walked on, it bends but does not break. Hence, it has been associated with virtue: an injustice can be returned by a kindness, by bending, not breaking.
Tobacco (the East) is held as a scared plant by most First Nations peoples. Tobacco connects us to the spirit world; it absorbs prayers and carries them to the spirit world. If a request is accompanied by an offer of tobacco that is accepted, the promise must be honoured. Tobacco can also be used to thank the Creator for his gifts: if you enjoyed good weather, you could leave some tobacco on the ground, and say thank you for the gift. Tobacco is generally not smoked, except on special ceremonial occasions.
Cedar (the South) is used for purification and (taken as a tea) to attract positive energy, feelings, emotions and for balance. Its vitamin C content helped prevent scurvy when fruits and vegetables were unavailable during the winter months.
Sage (the West) is a women's medicine, conferring strength, wisdom, and clarity of purpose. It is a powerful purifying medicine that drives away negative energies. Sage can be found braided and hung in people's homes, perhaps tied with a ribbon in one of the colours of the medicine wheel. The threefold braid represents body, mind and spirit.
A 'smudge' is smoke used for ritual cleansing. Smudging is a ceremony traditionally practiced by some Aboriginal cultures to purify or cleanse negative energy, feelings or thoughts from a place or a person. Sacred medicines such as cedar, sage, sweetgrass or tobacco are burned in an abalone shell. The shell represents water, the first of four elements of life; the medicines represent gifts from mother earth and the burning represents fire, the next two elements. The person puts their hands in the smoke and carries it to their body, especially to areas that need spiritual healing (mind, heart, body). The smoke represents air, the final element. Perhaps the smell of the burning medicines stimulates the brain to produce beta-endorphins and promote healing processes.
Healing circles
Meetings held to heal physical, emotional and spiritual wounds. A symbolic object, often an eagle feather, may be given to a person who wishes to speak, and then it is passed around the circle in sequence to others who wish to speak. Shamans may conduct the ceremony.
Sweat Lodge (a.k.a. Purification Lodge)
A ceremonial sauna used for healing and cleansing. It made of a wooden framework covered by blankets or skins, usually igloo-shaped, about 1.5 metres high and large enough for eight people to sit in a circle on the ground. Hot stones are placed in a shallow hole in the centre of the lodge. A medicine man pours water on the stones to produce steam and participants may spend an hour sweating in the lodge. The lodge combines the four elements of fire, water, air and earth. Ceremonies include offerings, prayers, and reverence. At times, excessive exposure to the heat of the lodge may have health effects; also toxins can be released if grasses that have been exposed to pesticides are placed on the rocks. Further information.
Sun Dance (a.k.a. Rain Dance, Thirst Dance, Medicine Dance)
A ritual that celebrates the harmony between man and nature, and spiritual dedication. Originally practiced at the summer solstice, the sun dance represents continuity between life, death, and regeneration. The symbolism often involved the buffalo, on which plains Indian groups depended, so deserving reverence, but which they also had to kill. Four days before the ceremony, the dancers prepare by purifying themselves, at times in a sweat lodge, by meditating and collecting ceremonial items of dress to use in the sun dance. The sun dance itself takes another four days, and generally involves drumming, singing, and dancing, but also fasting and, in some cases, self-inflicted pain. This symbolized rebirth and often involved piercing the skin and attaching cords that the person had to tear out. This element led governments to suppress the sun dance around 1880, but it has been re-introduced.
Pipe ceremony
The pipe is used individually and in groups for prayer and ceremonial purposes. Participants gather in a circle. A braid of sweetgrass is burned to purify the area and those present, to make a sacred place for the spirits to visit. Tobacco or kinnickkinnick, a traditional mixture of bearberry and wild herbs or red willow shavings, is smoked so that prayers can be made to the Great Spirit or requests made of the spirits. The pipe may also be smoked to open other meetings or ceremonies. When not in use, the bowl and stem are separated and carried by one individual, the pipe holder. Further information
A ceremonial feast among northwest Pacific coast Native peoples held to celebrate major family events such as a marriage or birth. The host distributes gifts according to the status of each guest; reinforcing the perceived hierarchical relations between groups. At times the gift-giving became competitive, the host giving away personal possessions in anticipation that others would reciprocate in their turn. Such largesse enhanced the host's prestige. Missionaries encouraged government to outlaw the potlach around 1885; it is now common. Further information

I'll be voting for Gary Johnson. I'd rather Obama win, because we'll have divided government. If Romney wins, we'll get a repeat of Bush, which means we'll lose the House in the midterms (RINO controlled anyway) and Dems will control all branches in 2016 since we won't make progress on the economy with bigger government.
First, Obama lost because he, like virtually the entire left, lives in a left-wing bubble.
Left-wing academics live in this bubble. There is no greater uniformity of thought than at our universities; their much-ballyhooed commitment to diversity is about race and ethnicity, not about ideas.

Tommee Tippee Electric Bottle Warmer
Member Name: Drewster_Rooster
Tommee Tippee Electric Bottle Warmer
Date: 31/07/12, updated on 31/07/12 (100 review reads)
Advantages: Easy to fill and use. Well made. Relatively cheap
Disadvantages: No timer, no on/off switch, no markings on the inside. Not an essential item
The bottle warmer's simple design makes this really easy to use, the body of the warmer has a 3 stage dial which controls the temperature of the water and an illuminating light which acts as a visual indicator telling you when the water has heated to the correct temperature for warming up the contents of a nursing bottle. You are supplied with a handy reference book that lists the recommended warming times for different sized bottles and amounts of formula and it's simply a case of adding cold water from the tap into the bowl of the warmer, setting the dial at whatever level you want, waiting for the light to go out and adding your bottle to the water. It doesn't have a timer built in to the machine which I think is a bit of a shame as that would have made for a handy addition so you will need to keep an eye on either a watch or clock though we use a digital timer as I have one already in my kitchen for my cooker which only cost a couple of quid from Asda which makes the timings a lot easier for us.
It doesn't take too long to heat up the water you add, a couple of minutes maybe although I would add here that there's no 'maximum' mark on the interior of the bowl and you are instructed to leave at least 10ml of space from the top. Obviously the amount of water you add will be determined by how heavy your bottle is as there is water displacement so there is a a bit of trial and error in getting the right amount although once you've figured it out you'll know for the next bottle and other than the potential annoyance of spilling water over your worktops it really is as simple as that to use. TT claim that it's suitable for use with any bottle, we've had Tommee Tippee's and Dr Brown's in mine and it's held them both nicely although I do suspect that it has been made more for their own bottles than their rivals but haven't tried other makes so can't say for certain. If you own bottles from other manufacturers then I wouldn't bank on this one holding them so I would suggest either trying one before buying or select something else just to be on the safe side, our 'closer to nature' bottles fit perfectly though so if you do have TT bottles then this would be the obvious choice of warmer.
I like the warmers shape, it has rounded edges and sits firmly on my kitchen counter. It's not terribly heavy but has a decent enough weight to make it sturdy and the plastic construction feels well made and durable. The warmer comes attached to a mains cable that is of good length so it doesn't have to be sat too near to a plug socket and whilst I do think that it's white colour could become a bit grubby looking over time it's easy enough just to wipe over to remove any water marks that may form on the outside walls. Obviously it should be kept out of children's reach, the water does get hot when it's in use and you do need to be careful when removing a bottle as that gets hot too, it doesn't boil the water it holds but care should be given when using it and do remember to turn it off at the wall as there's no on/off switch on the warmer itself (other than the dial starting at '0') either which again is a shame as it would have made it slightly better than it actually is.
For the amount it costs to buy (around £15.00 - £20.00 depending on where you purchase it from) I do think it represents decent value for money, it's certainly a lot safer than using boiling water in a jug although that would be a more inexpensive option so I suppose it comes down to a families budget if they think it's a worthwhile purchase. For us being new parents and going a bit overboard with the things we bought it is a useful item that is used multiple times every day although it could have had a few extra features that would have made it slightly better in my opinion. The lack of an on/off switch and an inbuilt timer prevents me from awarding a five star rating here although its something I would recommend to other parents, it's definitely a useful item for warming bottles and even food jars when you get to the weaning stage and all in all I do like its simple, no-nonsense design.
Widely available both online and on the high street and from a recognised and respected name the Tommee Tippee electric bottle warmer gets a very good four star rating from me. Thanks for reading my review.
Summary: A decent electric bottle warmer although could have had a couple more features.

Georgia Capitol Notes
The legislative session is barely a few weeks old, but what promised to be the dominant issue is already on its way to Gov. Nathan Deal's desk.
The House of Representatives on Friday gave final passage to Deal's compromise plan that lets the state avoid losing $450 million in federal health care support without legislators having to vote explicitly on whether to extend an existing tax on the hospital industry.
Under Senate Bill 24, which Deal may sign in the coming weeks, a board of the governor's appointees will decide what assessment hospitals will pay to help fund Medicaid rather than pay a tax set explicitly by the General Assembly.
Capitol players and citizens alike could be forgiven if they think the new the new plan is just a "tax" by another name.
The issue is the so-called "bed tax," which is actually a 1.45 percent tax on Georgia hospitals' net patient revenue. Created in 2010 to shore up the Medicaid insurance program, the tax yields about $230 million that is used as state match money to grab another $450 million or so in federal money. All of it is routed back into payments to providers who treat Medicaid recipients.
But that tax expires at the end of the current fiscal year, threatening to blow an even bigger hole than already exists in the $8 billion-plus Medicaid program.
Lawmakers didn't want to inflict that kind of pain on Georgia hospitals, physicians and patients. However, many legislators — particularly Republicans — also didn't want to hand potential opponents any leverage. The fear was all the more acute since anti-government activists and national GOP powerbroker Grover Norquist urged Georgia's elected officials to abandon the tax.
So, Deal came to the rescue with his compromise and lawmakers say they didn't pass any sort of tax. It's a "provider fee." And — they note — it's the same kind of arrangement that Georgia nursing homes have used for years, ponying up a little of their own money and parlaying that into a federal bounty that's plowed back into nursing home coffers.
Whatever you call it, the quick vote is a victory for Deal.

Work At Home University
There is a new site called Work At Home University that is being promoted by many of the same sites that promoted Stay At Home Revenue and other highly questionable programs. I've put out a full Work At Home University review of red flags recently.
The biggest warning has to do with the so-called "Free One-on-One Consultation" which could end up costing you thousands - if not tens of thousands of dollars. However, there are other aspects of WorkAtHomeUniversity you need to watch out for, including how the refund language is structured and potential rights you may be waiving if you buy the initial program.
You can see the full warning here.

posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionQuote from CardinalMDM
Not entirely sure why Radiant Stars will be strewn all across Sanctuary. Though, I do think they would do well to increase what kinds of stat increases Marquise gems afford if the AH won't be allowing for massive gold hoarding within a short time.
After all, they added the Marquise gem into the game because it was intended to take a long time to acquire. Granted, people out there are already dripping with Marquises, thanks to being able to acquire huge gold stores as well as buy tons of Tomes of Secrets to craft with.
So I don't think gem drops will be better than Marquises come Reaper of Souls and the system updates...and with how many gem tiers there are currently, they can't possibly add MORE. However, with the removal of the AH, 20 million gold just to craft a Marquise, not to mention all the upcrafting costs just to get to the Marquise, a gem of that high a tier should have more value behind it.
Hey CardinalMDM - My thinking is simple, as we are currently level 60 players, we can find many level 60 gems during our conquests. When our collective caps are raised to 70, would this mean that level 70 gems will be as common to find as Radiant Squares?
I agree that the gold sink of 20m for a gem may just mean that they retain some sort of appeal to us when the xpac comes, or at least I hope so. My chars are in dire need of gem upgrades and I'd be pretty miffed if I spend all of my gold with my jeweller now, only to have the upgrades nullified by RoS. -
posted a message on Ok, so I have gone through the forums (quickly) and the data mining posts (less quickly), and I cannot see any reference to the future of gems. What is going to happen to our level 66 Radiant Stars when RoS comes out? Will Radiant Stars be strewn all across Sanctuary?Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
The level cap for chars right now is 60 and the highest level gem we can pick up is the lvl 60 Flawless Square, so it makes sense that we should be picking up gems substantially more powerful than Marquise gems come RoS, not so?
If this has been discussed elsewhere then kindly point me in the right direction ;-) -

Highlights from the Archives
Tolerating the New Tunes, but Exulting in the Old
The sleek, airtight jazz-funk of Steely Dan's prime has been modified only slightly, and it still goes down smooth.
May 23, 2007artsReviewAge, Language, Rock 'n' Roll
When it was announced that this week Steely Dan was releasing its ninth studio album, the news came as something of a surprise. After all, it took the band 20 years to release a follow-up to their 1980 ''Gaucho'' album. That follow-up, ''Two Against Nature,'' won Steely Dan its first-ever Grammy, for album of the year in 2001.
June 12, 2003artsInterviewJaded, Meticulous, Quirky: It Could Only Be Steely Dan
''It's a strange night,'' Donald Fagen said in the middle of Steely Dan's concert tonight at the Jones Beach Theater here. ''I'm not kidding.'' He seemed about to explain further when his partner, Walter Becker, drily cut him off. ''Another strange night,'' Mr. Becker deadpanned, returning the show to routine and not revealing a thing.
July 5, 2000artsReviewEdgy, Cool Steely Dan Back on Stage and Tour
As timing goes, now would hardly seem to be the right moment for the first Steely Dan tour since 1974. Pop music has veered sharply away from everything the group's core, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, cared about most. Instead of Steely Dan's cool, subtle, meticulous, elegantly ironic songs, matching oblique lyrics to harmonically ambiguous jazz chords, the rock mainstream has turned toward noise, simplicity and blunt impact. Where Mr. Becker and Mr. Fagen could agonize for months over perfecting a smooth transition, hip-hop has brought sudden jump-cuts instead. The band's influence has survived mostly in pop-jazz tunes that saunter along, half-heard, on background-music radio stations. Steely Dan camouflaged its subversive edge a little too well.

When it was announced that this week Steely Dan was releasing its ninth studio album, the news came as something of a surprise.

To the Editor: Jon Pareles writes, in ''Pop Music's War of Words: While Eminem Is Attacked, Steely Dan Gets a Free Pass'' (Feb. 18), that Steely Dan uses insinuation, indirection and understatement while Eminem uses blunt antagonism and hyperbole. This perfectly defines the difference between...

I have iPhone 3Gs factory unlocked 33 week - and there is 3.0.1.
Is this last week with same firmware?
yea how can you find out on the box by looking at the serial to see what week the 3gs has what firmware? I know from the old back in the days you look at the 5th and 6th digit in the serial number to find out the production week but ever since that they change everything so is there a way to find out if the iphone 3GS has firmware 3.0 or not? I want to take my 3.1 back to swap it for an unlock....
The iPhones with 3.1 started appearing somewhere in manufacturing week 37.
where do you look at though .... where in the serial number section since it all changes now? what place of digits?
Yes 3.1 started at week 37. But depending on model #, but most models are 3.1 acouple of models still 3.0.1 (there are more than 5 diff. models in the usa)
look at 3rd and 4th degit serial#
Strange got one more for my friend. It is 36 week. But with 3.1 .....:mad:
Digits 4 and 5, e.g. An iPhone with the serial number 89727X63NRX would have been produced week 27.
Oh yeah, my mistake. Should be 4th and 5th digit
Ugh, I have a sealed iPhone 3GS week 37, I don't know if I should open it or not. If its 3.1 then I would rather sell it sealed than opening it up. Does anybody have a week 37 with 3.01?

SAN MARTIN, Calif. – Ellen Port won the first three holes in the final match, a lead she never relinquished, in becoming the eighth player to win consecutive USGA Senior Women's Amateur championships. But it was her prowess in scrambling for par that may have won this year's title at CordeValle.
"Ellen is an amazing player," said Susan Cohn, who advanced to the final in her first Senior Women's Amateur appearance. "I expect her to make par or birdie. Somehow in my brain she is just going to make a par or better. And she does."
Cohn sprayed some shots in the early part of the final but then settled in to make back-to-back pars at holes 4 and 5. Port sent her tee shot into the left fairway bunker at the 496-yard, par-5 sixth hole and was later faced with a chip from behind the green for her fourth shot. After coming up short, she made par with a 10-foot downhill putt to halve the hole.
"The grass grabbed it," Port said. "I was just barely trying to get it on, and I didn't get it on far enough, and that was a key putt."
Port found trouble off the tee again at the 346-yard, par-4 ninth when her ball landed right of the cart path, behind a tree. Cohn placed her drive into the middle of the fairway and an opportunity existed. However, Port was able to get her approach over the tree, with her ball finding the front right greenside bunker. She executed a terrific shot out of the sand to 3 feet to save par.
"I went ahead with a 3-wood [off the tee] and fanned it out there," said Port. "Luckily I had the confidence that I could hit that up over the tree. I got it in the bunker and I hit a nice bunker shot."
Cohn was still 3 down after the 10th hole, but saw another opening when Port drove her ball into the right fairway bunker on No. 11 and had to lay up out of the sand.
"I'd been hitting it really well, and I guess I didn't hit it as well as I thought and there was more wind," said Port.
But Port, who won last year's Senior Women's Amateur at Hershey (Pa.) Country Club, found another way to make an up-and-down par by hitting her third shot with a 6-iron to within 3½ feet.
"I just said, I've got to stick this," she said. "And [caddie] Carlos [Cortez] gave me great numbers all week. I was 135 yards away into a two-club wind and just knocked it down right at the flag. The best part of my game this week was my crisp iron play."
Cohn added, "That wind had to be blowing 20 miles per hour. I couldn't even reach the green; I had to go to the left side."
Salvaging par on those three holes may have been the key to Port again holding the Senior Women's Amateur Championship Trophy.
Port's Win Advances History
Port, who has also claimed four U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur crowns, now owns six USGA championships. She is tied for fourth, with Hollis Stacy and Glenna Collett Vare, for most USGA women's championships won.
Port trails only JoAnne Gunderson Carner, who won eight, and Anne Quast Sander and Carol Semple Thompson, who each have seven victories.
"I am a competitor at heart," said Port, who plays a limited schedule due to family and teaching commitments. "I love the thrill of hitting shots when they matter. And I love the spirit of amateurism."
Port will serve as the 2014 USA Curtis Cup Captain in her hometown when the match is played with Great Britain and Ireland at St. Louis Country Club on June 6-8.
Cohn's First Senior Women's Amateur
Cohn, 50, had a memorable return to USGA championship play by finishing as the runner-up. She had not played in a USGA event in 21 years.
"I love to play," said Cohn, whose previous USGA appearances came at the 1989 U.S. Women Amateur and 1992 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur. "Sometimes life gets in the way. I would love to play more."
After a rough start that included three consecutive double bogeys to trail 3 down, Cohn played solid golf through the completion of the match with 11 pars, one birdie and one bogey.
"You are not going to hit every shot perfectly and they [your opponents] are not going to hit every shot perfectly," said Cohn, who won her sectional qualifier at Frenchman's Reserve Country Club, where she works in the golf shop.
Cohn will not have to qualify for next year's championship, having earned an exemption with her runner-up finish.
Looking Ahead to 2016
CordeValle's first USGA championship is over, but the Northern California golf resort's work is far from complete with the 2016 U.S. Women's Open on the horizon.
"We have learned from this experience and believe we have what it takes to deliver a superb championship in 2016," said Carol Kaufman, general chairman for this year's USGA Senior Women's Amateur.
Kaufman, who serves as executive vice president for The Cooper Companies, a global medical device company with 8,000 employees in 100 countries, personally sought feedback from the players this week and was impressed with the efforts of the USGA team.
"They [staff and committee] make it possible to have excellent events from my perspective," said Kaufman, who was involved with the 1998 and 2012 U.S. Opens at The Olympic Club. "It gives you a comfort level looking forward to 2016."
Lew Ellen Erickson, the chairman of the USGA Senior Women's Amateur, thinks the Women's Open field will embrace the golf course.
"These (Senior Women's Amateur) players have loved it and those players are going to love it even more," said Erickson, who has served as this championship's chair since 2010. "What's great about this golf course is that you can lengthen it out or shorten it up. It sets up beautifully for many different conditions. It's so versatile and it's the right challenge."
When Paula Creamer, Stacy Lewis and Suzann Pettersen arrive in California's Santa Clara County, the USGA's Teresa Belmont expects everything to set up well for the Women's Open.
"The players will love it here from a golf course standpoint and from a hospitality and customer service standpoint," said Belmont, director of the USGA Senior Women's Amateur. "They know how to take care of people here."
There are many details to be arranged at CordeValle for 2016, but as Erickson noted, one thing is a constant. "Every place you walk on this golf course you have an amazing view and all the nature."
Tee Shots
Ellen Port is the first player since Diane Lang in 2006 to win consecutive USGA Senior Women's Amateur Championships … Port has won three of her six USGA championships in California … She also won the 1996 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur Championship at Mission Hills Country Club (Dinah Shore Course), in Rancho Mirage, and the 2000 Women's Mid-Amateur at Big Canyon Country Club, in Newport Beach … Mary Jane Hiestand and Caryn Wilson, who each reached the semifinals here, are in the field for the upcoming U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur Championship, scheduled Oct. 5-10 at Biltmore Forest Country Club in Asheville, N.C.

"Awesome Game"
Version: Virtual Horse Racing Game 2.14
If you like horse racing you should give this site a try. It is the best online game I have found on the internet let alone the best horse racing game on the internet. There is a lot of detail that has been put into this site and requires patience.
If you are into video type games this site is probably not for you. If you are a fantasy sports geek/buff then this should be right up your alley.
Give the site a try. You won't be disappointed if you have ever considered owning a real race horse.
"minor flash programme to spam a gamling site"
Version: Virtual Horse Racing Game 2.14
none of note
download just to spam their website. says you can play free & unlimited until you sign up then you need to deposit funds to play, it's a gambleing game if you have to pay real money to race your horses and get real money back if they win.
As gambling is illegal in america this site it using a game to hide the fact that you are in fact gambling. pay $10 up to $1000+ for each horse, then you pay to enter that horse into races and win real money if your horse wins. you can auction your horse for real money to other players. all in all not a game if real $'s are involved at every stage and illegal I would guess
"This is just gambling"
Version: Virtual Horse Racing Game 2.14
I am sorry to say I did not like anything .
The site is all about gambling and not horse racing. It sucks your money away .
I love horse games and virtual online horse game or online racing game but this was the worst. I can not understand why a site that is a gambling site is allowed. I just wanted to play a good online racing game . I have tried them all . I love action games that I can be involved with but not like this. I have played many and so far horseracegame.com is the best but I am still looking for others. If you have any ideas please let me know .
I tried this site again it still is crap. Try horseracegame.com for a good horse racing game that is free

Host Rachel Martin speaks with Nate Silver, who writes the FiveThirtyEight blog for The New York Times, about the mechanics of the GOP primary, the number of delegates apportioned so far and how future contests will determine the delegate count.

This is WEEKEND EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin.
With a presidential elections just a week away, thousands of Russians formed a human chain around Moscow today to demonstrate for a, quote, Russia without Putin.
Much has been made of all the big opposition rallies held recently in Moscow and St. Petersburg. But Russia is vast, and its provinces are very different places than the major urban areas.
Syrians vote on a new draft constitution Sunday, though the opposition has called for a boycott. Violence has been reported across the country. Host Rachel Martin talks with NPR's Peter Kenyon about the latest on the bombardment of Homs and other developments in Syria.
Host Rachel Martin talks to veteran Russian journalist Vladimir Pozner from Moscow about how Russia has changed since the days of glasnost and perestroika and under the hand of Vladimir Putin.

She's A Sports Fan, He's Not
Millions of couples will snuggle up on the couch or set out to celebrate the Super Bowl this Sunday. The national event that conjures images of wings, beer and hearty brouhaha can be the biggest day of the year to some and just another Sunday to others. And sometimes those differing esteems exist within a couple. We know what you're thinking: the guy's the one glued to the TV, right? We love relationships that defy stereotypes, so we set out to find couples where she's the sports fan, and he's not. We found two relationships where the lady loves sports and her man couldn't care less. And, as each writer points out, they'd not want it any other way.
Can An Artist Love A Diehard Football Fan?
Like most women on the planet, I dreamed that I would one day find the perfect man. Someone who would not mind me occasionally bringing home a stray dog or cat. A man who could watch Monty Python's Holy Grail repeatedly and would still have a beverage shoot out his nose when the Frenchman says, "I fart in your general direction." And, most importantly, I longed for a man who could spend many a Sunday afternoon lying on the couch watching football with me. Honestly, I thought that the last requirement on my list would be the easiest to fulfill. Well, as luck would have it, I did find my dream guy. I found him in his indigenous environment: the art museum. He was displaying his original artwork, oil paintings of various people and things. I thought he was brilliant and talented. He swept me off my feet from the moment I met him. He was kind, funny, intelligent—almost everything I wanted in a man. But, sadly, he didn't care so much for watching large men in spandex beat the crap out of each other for possession of a ball. I was devastated. How could someone so perfect be so horribly flawed? He couldn't relate to such barbaric activity of testosterone and sweat.
She Watches Sports While I Man The Kitchen
I grew up in a family where sports was not a major part of life. We played an occasional game of badminton or croquet and maybe tossed a softball, but we never followed sports in the newspaper or on television. When it came to baseball cards, I chewed the gum and threw out the cards. When I read the newspaper, the sports section went untouched. All of that changed when I met my wife. As our relationship blossomed, so did my understanding of sports. Under her guidance, I learned about college basketball and March Madness along with terms like Sweet Sixteen and the Final Four. We and our kids now enjoy the annual tradition of filling out the brackets, even if it frustrates me that her bracket predictions are usually more accurate than mine.
How To Enjoy Watching Sports With Your Man
Does the start of fall mark your transformation into a sports widow? Does spring fever mean the only home runs being scored are on the baseball diamond? And does March Madness leave you playing one-on-one, solo? If so, take a time out and watch Love U's "How To Enjoy Watching Sports With Your Man."
Jessica Simpson Broken Up
It looks like the couple of the year is doneski. All the tabloids (and they would know) report that the Tony Romo-Jessica Simpson experiment is over and there were no survivors. Where did it go wrong? And what do we all do now?
Super Bowl vs. World Cup
Whether you watched every minute of last night's Superbowl or spent your evening tucked away in a bookstore, as one Tango staffer did, chances are you have strong opinions for or against football madness. But more importantly: how do you feel about the players? One of our favorite, tell-all bloggers, FunkyBrownChick, today tackles a question that's been circulating at least since high school, when sports factored into one's social status: Who's hotter – football players or soccer players?

Orthodox Fellowship Study Evenings at St Alban's, Chatham
As members and clergy of St Alban's British Orthodox Church in Chatham we had felt that we should be organising a regular activity to allow members of the British Orthodox Fellowship in our area to experience something of our Christian life, as indeed was the purpose of the Fellowship being introduced.
So far we have welcomed visitors to two Study Evenings. The first was held in November and had as its topic, 'The Jesus Prayer'. The second has just taken place and the topic was 'Praying with Icons'.
Both of these evenings have been a very useful learning exercise, as well as allowing us to meet Fellowship members and welcome them to our Church in Chatham.
The first Study Evening looked at the History, Spirituality and Practice of the Jesus Prayer, but on reflection we considered that we had not allowed enough time for questions and discussions.
The most recent evening spent thinking about 'Praying with Icons', seemed to work better with less presentation and more discussion. We were very fortunate that our own Subdeacon Michael Kennedy, himself an artist, was able to lead this fruitful evening.
We have a growing number of Fellowship members in the East of Kent, who cannot easily travel all the way to Chatham, so we are now considering holding the same evening in the Dover or Folkestone area to support and encourage the growth of Fellowship membership.
Subdeacon Peter Farrington

Putin is buddying up to Ahmadinejad, saying Iran should have nuclear power for peaceful purposes. I would agree that they should be allowed to have nuclear power, but does anyone actually trust these guys to keep it for peaceful purposes? I mean, that's like giving a knife to Charles Manson and saying he can only butter bread with it.
Sounds like trouble to me.

Long a competitor of the neighboring Jackson Diner, this dependable, sunflower-hued curry emporium may have the edge these days, especially in terms of its less-nightmarish waits and friendlier staff. The fare remains feisty, with definitive vindaloos finessed to an uncommon riot of flavor (skewered chicken tikka is also a must-try). Samosas and other fried appetizers are less crispy than often experienced, allowing for more pungent pea notes, but a rose lassi yogurt drink is a bizarre concoction--like drinking perfume. Overall, though, this is some solid subcontinental.
