Mt Hood Ski Education Foundation
Dryland on the 7th will be to assess MHA racer's current level of
conditioning. We will not be conducting the USST Assessment Test, but
rather some simple tests to check your basic conditioning, and give workout ideas for the next 6 - 8 weeks. The
later dryland sessions will continue to build on your conditioning, plus include
games and activities. We will also discuss equipment needs and issues during
dryland, as well as other team activities
and camps. For those participating in a fall sport, please still
join us when you can - we will take your sport into consideration. Dryland
training is a very important aspect of our sport, and a great time to get
together and stay in touch.
With the end of summer in sight the coaches and staff of Mt. Hood Academy and Mt. Hood Race Team are working hard to put the programs and people in place to bring another great year of racing to our young athletes.
Mt. Hood Race Team to be Lead by Veteran Head Coach
Last winter was fantastic with lots of great skiing and racing, ending with very young group of Buddy Werner team athletes finishing 4th overall. This year most of our athletes are back and we should again have an exciting Mitey Mite year. To build on the success MHSEF is pleased to announce Ryan Barnes "Barney" as the new head Mt. Hood Race Team coach.
Ryan Barnes "Barney" to lead Mt. Hood Race Team
Ryan Barnes, better known as "Barney", returns to our team after taking a few years off from direct athlete coaching, although never far from a race course. Barney, a native of Portland and a graduate of Mt. Hood Academy and University of Oregon, was a very successful Junior and collegiate racer. He returned to coach at Mt. Hood Academy in 1999 and over the next 5 years coached the team to two or its eight Northwest Cup team titles, as well as numerous individual Northwest Cup and Junior Olympic titles. More recently, Barney has been respected as a hard working, conscientious racing rep for Salomon, taking good care of athletes from the Mitey Mite levels to the World Cup. Barney brings a championship attitude, a wealth of equipment knowledge, and the right stuff to take our Mitey Mite racers even further this year. We are excited to have Barney on the staff.
Mt. Hood Academy Junior Racing Program Adds Experienced Academy FIS Coach
MHA Juniors surfaced as top competitors in the Northwest last winter. No other team qualified more athletes (six) to the Junior Olympics, and four MHA athletes were invited to USSA National Development summer camps. Our FIS athletes (15-19) moved impressively up the rankings and got noticed by divisional and regional staff. To provide the best dedicated resources and coaching to this strong group of athletes, and those coming up behind them, we are pleased to introduce a new Mt. Hood Academy full-time coach to our team, Kristi Revello.
Announcing Kristi Revello as Full-time MHA Coach
"Kristi is one of the most passionate, motivated and hard working coaches I have ever worked with", say Aaron Atkins, Alpine Director at Sugar Bowl Ski Team. A native of McCall, Idaho, Kristi was an elite athlete in PNSA and a member of the Western Region Elite Ski Team for several years, competing throughout North America and Europe. She then competed four years as an NCAA skiing athlete at the University of Nevada. Since 2005, Kristi has coached at Sugar Bowl in California where she worked with a very successful team of FIS athletes. Kristi is very excited to return to the Northwest and coach at Mt. Hood Academy, and we are very excited to have such a passionate, energetic coach working with our athletes.
2008-2009 Programs and Camps
Mt. Hood Academy athletes will begin the regular season with a November training camp at Timberline, and two different training camps in Canada. FIS-age athletes will train at Banff, Alberta, and J3 athletes will train at Apex, B.C. MHA will continue to provide its full-service programs with full-time and weekend training. The Academy's school will offer two terms during the winter to assist athletes training and competing full-time. The winter term will begin in early December and continue through mid-March. An extended term for FIS-age athletes will begin in November and continue into April. The race calendar is posted at www.pnsa.org and on this web page and will be finalized and adopted in mid-September. Final dates for MHA camps and equipment nights will be emailed in September and published on this web site
Mt. Hood Race Team's time tested and successful programs are in place for this season. J4 / J5 racers will begin training with the Thanksgiving camp on November 28th. J6 / J7 racers will begin regular training the following Saturday, December 6th. Additionally, J4 racers are invited to attend our training camp at Apex, B.C. in November. The 2008-09 race calendar is not yet set, but will be announced in mid-September. Exact dates for camps, meetings, and equipment nights will be sent out via email and posted on the website as soon as they are finalized.
We are looking forward to another great year!

Dreams Come True: Redina Hembree of King's Southern Delight
Some dreams sit with you a long time before you put them into action. For Redina Hembree and her mom Emma Jackson, it was a lifetime. Years ago, Jackson wanted to open a Southern restaurant, but it was a family friend who made the vision a reality (with Jackson's blessing of course). In 2005, the friend was moving to Georgia and asked the mother-daughter duo to take over. When the team took the helm at King's Southern Delight, they tweaked the menu and fixed the place up. "People started saying, 'things are different around here'," says Hembree. Three years on, Hembree wanted to take the business up a notch. She heard about WEDC and figured, "it couldn't hurt to check it out." She enrolled in the 15-Week Entrepreneurial Training Program and created a formal business plan. She worked one-on-one with WEDC counselors to identify growth opportunities. On a lark, Hembree decided to apply for the $5000 Women & Co. Microenterprise Boost Program® award in 2009. "I was just doing it for practice. I never thought we'd win," she says. Win they did and Hembree put the money towards a new Garland G Series Restaurant Range to replace their old stove. The two have been cooking with gas ever since.

First Person: Your essays
Humpty- Dumpty Kejriwal
In just five months, from the Delhi assembly elections to the General Elections, AAP and Kejriwal shrank from being a hero to a zero. From declaring less than a month ago that AAP would win a resounding majority in the Lok Sabha polls, with some gorilla-like chest thumping, to now contemplating an alliance with Congress to keep their assembly seats intact, AAP has come a long way down. And fast. So fast that it seems impossible to believe that only in December it was the talk of the town, nay talk of the nation. Verily all the king's horses and all the king's are of no use to this humpty-dumpty.
Kejriwal became a giant-slayer of sorts by defeating Congress' Sheila Dikshit, a major upset that sent the whole Delhi unit of the party packing. It was almost unbelievable that the party that held the reins of power for 15 long years had been reduced to just eight MLAs in the House. AAP gloated over Congress' defeat, Sheila's ouster, and began a mad dance of mobocracy, pooh-poohing every bit of wise counsel that came their way. They said Sheila and her party's arrogance did them in—not a very incorrect assessment, given Sheila's dismissive view of AAP as a serious challenge till the last moment. Yet it took Sheila 15 years in power to develop that kind of arrogance; it took AAP less than 15 days to reach Sheila's level. Only if they had tried to emulate the strengths of Sheila, especially her good governance, AAP leaders would be scripting a different success story today. But that as we all know now, was not to happen.
AAP didn't expect, when it fought the Delhi elections, that it would win so many seats and form a government. The sudden contact with power, a livewire of sorts, was perhaps a bit too much for AAP leaders—it knocked sense out of their heads. In a delirious moment, Kejriwal demitted office, and in another, he decided to contest against Narendra Modi in Varanasi. That was followed by a mad campaign of accusations, disparaging talks and an overall negative agenda, in which Kejriwal somehow convinced himself that Modi was losing. He thought he had figured it out all too well. He thought he was destined to slay giants, the proverbial David with the ability to kill Goliaths every time he stood against one. Everyone except Kejriwal and his party knew that he didn't have a chance against Modi, for this man was no philistine: he had his ears to the ground, had risen through the ranks, had a proven track record of governance, didn't have the corruption taint, and had the reputation of being a mass leader. His larger-than-life persona was bolstered by an aggressive publicity campaign put together by an efficient and resourceful machinery.
As a result, from the salt pans of the Rann of Kutch to the tea gardens of Upper Assam, Modi was seen as the only man capable of turning around the country diseased by inflation and corruption.
Naturally, when Kejriwal tried to punch holes into Modi's carefully woven political and electoral fabric, he himself came to be seen as the nuisance-maker with an evil agenda. Of course, Kejriwal didn't understand all that, did he? He didn't understand that it was no Mithun Chakraborty movie where he could outrun a bullet, but a real test of political merit and relevance which he was ill-suited to win.
Just like Hitler, in the last days of his Third Reich, moved fictional armies on the drawing board to defeat the Red Army, Kejriwal assumed that his golden run in Delhi was enough to secure him victory in Varanasi. He said people of Varanasi wanted to vote for a "zameeni aadmi" (a grassroots worker) and were not going to accept "hawai raajneeti" (a reference to Modi's travelling by a chopper). He made it appear that he knew the people and spoke for them, without, of course, making any effort to find out how people of Varanasi had been reading him. The result was quite expected—a humiliating defeat by a margin of 3,72,000 votes. His party's candidates elsewhere met the same fate, the worst performers being in Assam where, as one analyst claimed, they polled fewer votes than NOTA.
The people of Varanasi didn't merely cut Kejriwal down to size, being inhabitants of the world's oldest city they also taught him an important lesson in life. I'm not sure if he has learnt it, or will learn it eventually, but that lesson is of humility. Not the Uriah Heep kind of false humility that Kejriwal has been exhibiting all throughout, but Lord Ram-like humility which he exhibited before a dying Ravan at the battlefield in Lanka.
Lord Ram showed that you could even learn from the enemy when he and Lakshman knelt at Ravan's feet and asked for some parting words of wisdom from that great scholar. And Ravana said that things that are bad for you seduce you easily, so much so that you run after them impatiently, while good things appeal less and you find excuses to keep them away—an apt lesson for Kejriwal, who quickly abandoned the same people of Delhi, who had voted him to power, in search of greener pastures nationally. When everyone urged him to stay on in government and consolidate his position, he resigned at the slightest excuse to pursue a more seductive option. Clearly, he didn't bother to read Ravana's second lesson to Lakshman: that one should fly only as high as his wings could take him and not try to go farther, or else one would come crashing down to the ground. At least in this election, Kejriwal has had an Icarus-like fall. And it seems funny that only last month, his party's leader Gopal Rai had equated Modi with Ravan.Kejriwal possibly is even today asking the mirror on the wall who is the best of all, and the mirror echoes back his thoughts. But the reality is clear; it needs to be seen if Kejriwal rises like a phoenix or fades away. But of course, he needs to remember that yeh jo public hai yeh sab jaanti hai. You can't fool it once again.

|Womens tennis adds a pair in early signing period
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Charlotte 49ers women's tennis program has announced the addition of two players for the 2013-14 academic year, head coach Michaela Gorman unveiled Monday afternoon. The Niners welcome Macy Vonderschmidt of McKinney, Texas, and Willemijn Witkam of Beesd, The Netherlands.
"We're really excited to bring in two really good tennis players," Gorman said. "We were able to watch them both through the recruiting process. They are both quality players and quality people. We're excited to get them here."
Vonderschmidt, a four-star recruit according to the website Tennisrecruiting.net, attends Boyd High School in McKinney and trains at the T Bar M Tennis Academy in Dallas. She has been ranked as high as No. 134 nationally this year and has tallied three wins over five-star and eight against other four-star players from the same website. She reached the quarterfinals of the 2012 UTSA National Open in May in Norman, Okla. For the U16s, she has been listed as high as the No. 6 spot in Texas.
Witkam is among the Top 100 players in the Women's Open Rankings for The Netherlands. She has been listed in the Top 15 in her age group nationally and has won many Category 3 tournaments throughout her home country. She also has participated in the semifinals of three A tournaments in The Netherlands.
The pair will don the green and white for the first time in 2013-14.
Gorman's current 49ers squad will return to the courts when it opens the spring dual match campaign Jan. 25 in Davidson, N.C., for a neutral-site meeting with Radford. Charlotte's home opener at the Halton-Wagner Tennis Complex will be held the next day, at 1 p.m. Jan. 26, against North Carolina Central. It will be the first of nine home spring contests to play at the Niners' on-campus facility.

"Very tasty and rich, this one's a keeper."
"For some reason the crust disappeared after baking and it was watery at the bottom. Maybe it's because I used apples from the tree in my backyard, or something was wrong with the crust recipe I used? But it tasted good anyway. Thanks!"
"Great, basic recipe that was simple to prepare and pleasant to eat. Instead of using a microwave oven, I simply placed the ingredients in a tortilla. This would be fantastic with peppers and tomatoes. Thank you!"
"These were good, but I had a little trouble putting them together. I tried melting the butter in the batter, but it was too dry. Maybe next time I'll add milk or water to soften it. The sugar filling was also dry. I think 1 1/2 cups would have been enough sugar. And instead of slightly flattening the spoonfuls of batter, I had to press very h..."
"These are very good. The cookies keep their shape well. This will definitely become a regular. Thank you!"
"Easy, quick, and delicous! I used a can of peaches in heavy syrup, and chopped them up to a smaller size. A full 5 stars from me. Thank you!"
"Very easy and oh so delicous. The pecans add a delightful crunch. Thank you!"
"These are so easy, elegant, and delicous! I would definitely make these again. Thank you so much for posting!"
"A scrumptious recipe! I ended up using more nutmeg than called for, and didn't use as much cream. I also didn't chop the spinach, but left it whole. The family loved it! Thanks!"
"Wonderful! I used mayonnaise, bell peppers, and provolone cheese. The peppers add a nice crunch Thank you!"

This costume size ranged from 6-12 months. My son is 13 months old and it was still too large for him. Luckily we live in MN so we can add layers underneath. Overall this costume was a good buy! It is very soft and easy to wear

Words, Hands, Hearts
Britanny and I try to take the dogs to the local dog park once a week or so. It's really nice and quiet, and the puppies enjoy running around off the leash and socializing with other dogs.
Yay cute puppies \o/
Btw, did you ever figure out how to make that dragon look good?
The dragon already looked good, Rod!
And awwwwwwwwwwwh to the puppies! I am SO jealous!
Look at those happy boys. ^_^ Good owners.
Hey you can teach him to pull some mobs for you back to camp. Heh.
Eep, going out for dinner…. lets see so far in this story line we have Ethan, Lucas and Kate going out for dinner and a scorpian…. I wonder where this will go lol. Aw look at hubert, hes so cute. I nameded the scorpion heh.
Beans and rice make the perfect protien….. Ack not vegan, did she have to be vegan? Bleech. lol. I dont like steak persay, its like eating meat gum but totally vegan? Oy vay..
*Eats a beef burrito.
Seriously how do you get any work done with puppies that adorable about? It's so…cute…it hurts….*explodes through cuteness overload*
I must say, those dogs are as cute as my 2 Chihuahua's, they would by quite the competitors in a doggy cute-off. I'd better go pimp my dogs, trim them, wash them, give 'em a good wax coating. Eat your heart out, terriers!
Tim, might I inquire: are you going to do another scetch-to-ink-to-fullcolor artwork series again in the future, like you did with that wood elf piece? That was awesome, I'd love to see some sort of follow-up piece to that. Maybe for the upcoming Crysis game?
Give it a few years and they'll be ready for Crufts.
Those 'things' you see at Crufts, they aren't dogs, they are creatures bred to boost their owners status. They're status symbols. Pampered and spoilt so other humans can watch and applaud.
Sure they can run over courses, navigate mazes and jump through hoops but at the end of the day can they tackle a criminal? Can they sniff out explosives or drugs? Can they help a blind man cross the road or get the phone for a deaf person?
Cruft dogs aren't real dogs.
Real dogs run through puddles, get messy, climb on your sofa, spray off the muck around your living room and then continue to eat that steak you left out to defrost. And you love them for it.
I hope that Simon and Kaylee cause Tim all the havoc in the world, cos the best dogs are never truly tamed.
Aw man. I'm just jealous of that dog park! All the park in Missoula has is an open field and a lot of holes in the fence, lol.
Such cute puppies, awwww.
Simon is just THE cutest thing to exist ever, period.
Kind of off subject, but the title of the blog made me look. There is this great website, 1millionlovemessages.com where you can post a love message (mine is number 236 ) and you might check it out. This guy who runs it is trying to get a million love messages posted and maybe win some award, but regardless there are a lot of cool poems and pictures up.
Aww, cute puppies. ^_^
I adore Yorkies. ^_^ They're awesome. I can't get over how large the oldest one is, though. rare for me to see one that big, at least the way the pics make it look.
You guys are so lucky. If I got one right now I think my cat would eat it. XD 7lb Yorkie + 20lb Maine Coon cat = Puppy snack.
Crimson is right, Kaylee got big. How old is she, and for that matter, how old is Simon?
Awesome dogs Tim, I want some…
I prefer Huskies myself. But my neighbour has a dog like yours.
It doesn't like me. But yours look nice though.
Unless…they secretly sneak out at night to prey upon the forsaken souls of their unknowing victims…
Stalking them silently whilst plotting their death.
In the first picture you can just see that dog saying "DEATH TO ALL MORTALS!" as he gazes into your soul and slowly drains you of your life force…
Either that or "I need to poopie."
Both could be better I suppose.
I hope your dogs remain in good health, and look out for any mysterious dissapearences in your neighbourhood.
Take care now.
AWWWWW!!! I would try anything for your dogs!!!
The park seems to nice! and I love teh Otakun pic. (costume was awesome) and I loved the dragon to…it always seemed nice to me. I just hope you become happy with it!
Hey Tim! I have been a fan of CAD for a long time but I have never commented this site before. I just wanted to say keep up the good Work!
Theyr'e sooo nice dude ive got two elkhounds that are just huskies with curlier tails and tufty gray and black fur rather thn nice soft fur but still theyre good guard dogs
Honestly Tim.. Those puppies are so adorable! =) Makes me all jealous.
Think it's a great thing you and Britanny takes them to the dog park once a week =)
Beautiful puppies, yes. But looking at the pictures I also somehow thought of what a beautiful couple you guys make. Well, i've always thought you were a cute couple, but i guess it occurred to me how long you've been together and how much you both share…maybe because my own relationship with my love has taken a down turn, eheheh..=(
But anyhow, congratulations on your happy life and your lovely pooches! ^__^
These dogs scare me now. By brother's ex-girlfriend has one named Armani and she has been stalking him ever since they broke up.
Picture this….Short large italian girl at 3:00 AM standing next to a tree with this dog under her arm with her big hollywood sunglasses…waiting for my brother to come home and yell at him for dumping her psycho ass.
Man wish I had a K-9 Companuen(spelled that wrong I know )
Puppies!!! Cute!

All-inclusive Kayak Vacations
Feed your passion for adventure. Unleash your wild side. Have a whale of a time! Sign up for our whale-watch tours or join us on an Orca Camp sea kayak adventure , to kayak with Orcas, Humpback and Minke whales in their natural habitat along BC's Johnstone Strait. Ecosummer's kayak adventures offer flexibility and maximum comfort, while maintaining the highest level of safety.
Our guided kayak tours offer so much more than whale-watching and kayaking the northeast coast of Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada. Picture yourself unwinding around a beachside bonfire at our Orca base camp beside the Robson Bight Ecological Reserve; camping out, in a temperate rainforest; connecting with newfound friends over fireside dinners or beachside picnics. Our sea kayak holidays promise small groups of no more than 10 people, yet unlimited adventure. Find yourself off the grid but in full view of one of Mother Nature's best shows. Unplug. Reconnect. Paddle and whale-watch 'til your heart's content on BC's most popular whale-watch tours and 3, 4, or 6-day kayak vacations with Ecosummer Adventure Tours.
Top 10 Reasons to Book with Ecosummer Adventure Tours
- Our Orca and Wilderness Adventure camp's unbeatable location next to Robson Bight Ecological Reserve and Orca rubbing beaches – the best place in BC, (possibly Canada) to see Orcas in the wild
- Immediate access to whales starts with our new interpretive whale-watching tour
- We guarantee you'll see whales starting on Day One – and if you don't we'll refund the cost of the whale-watch tour AND book you on a future trip on us!
- Multiple departure dates and tour lengths to choose from makes an Orca Camp kayak vacation easy to book around your schedule and budget
- We are the originals. We've been making memories on our Johnstone Strait guided kayaking trips since 1976. Come enjoy the natural beauty of northeast coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
- Pristine, secluded, private beachfront base camp – on the edge of a temperate coastal rainforest – set-up and waiting for your arrival
- Small Groups Only. Our maximum group size is 10 (not 11 or 14 or 25) hosted by two experienced and certified wilderness guides to care for your comfort and safety
- Top Notch Experts with an impeccable safety record. All of our guides are certified wilderness guides. You can rest assured when you travel with us you're in the very best hands
- Quality. We could tell you all about it, but our clients say it best – check our testimonials to read what our clients have to say about our kayak and whale-watching vacations

Kale is an all around awesome green food. It removes toxins from the body and has been shown to detoxify at the genetic level, too. Kale's high vitamin resource naturally supports the immune system. Kale's other nutritive properties assists in the prevention of constipation, atherosclerosis, and high blood pressure. If you wish to maintain your weight or are on a weight-loss program, Kale is a beneficial addition to your food program. Kale reduces the risk of five types of cancer, including bladder, breast, colon, ovary, and prostate.
Nutritional breakdown of the evergreen Kale
Kale is a knock your socks off WOW when it comes to being good for the body. Green, lean, and mean, Kale is a good source of copper, calcium, manganese, and potassium. It's also dense in Vitamin A, C, B6, K, and lutein. Kale is high on nutrition and low on calories, with one cup containing only 33 calories.
Kales biggest claim to fame is its massive amount of Vitamin K, providing over 1,000% of the daily value. Vitamin K is essential for normal blood clotting. It protects your bones from fracture and prevents bone density loss, especially important for post-menopausal women. Kale also prevents calcification of your arteries.
Vitamin A in Kale is over 192% of the daily value. Vitamin A is useful for protecting your eyes and vision. Followed next by over 88% of the daily value is Vitamin C, which is of course one of the best immune boosting vitamins. Kale also sports fiber, manganese, copper, calcium and more on it's list of body-boosting mineral power-ups. Eating Kale 3-4 times a week raw, juiced, or cooked will power-pack your system with nutrition.
All of these nutrients add up to an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory cocktail that is great for the body.
Choose Organic Kale – Here's Why
Kale is one of the vegetables most affected by pesticides, so it's a best practice to choose organic kale when shopping. If organic Kale is unavailable, thoroughly wash the Kale before cooking and eating it. An alternative to buying non-organic Kale is to grow it yourself in your own organic garden. Kale grows easily in the ground, raised beds, or pots, and the plant will thrive in cooler climes.
The Green Machine – A JuicyJosh Original
- 1 head of romaine
- 1 bunch of organic kale
- 1 apple of any variety, quartered
- ginger root (1-2" slice)
- 1 lemon (peeled)
Juice the romaine and kale and then add the apple, ginger, and lemon. Add more ginger or lemon to taste.
Post your comments – what are your favorite Kale recipes, juiced or cooked?

Recently bought a used Daiwa Saltist 4500H reel. It looks in a good shape, but when I reel it, not that smooth and can hear "sha-sha-sha" sound. Never used Daiwa reel before so I am not sure if it's the normal sound or not. If not, I am thinking about doing a service. Is there any local place within MA can do Daiwa reel service/maintenance? Or I have to send it back to Daiwa for the service? Thanks!

The shed itself sports a neutral color that complements nearly any environment, making it an easy match for all sorts of homes and decorative schemes. This unit is also ideally sized for storing bikes, lawn furniture, yard equipment, tools, and other items that can really clutter up your yard or garage.
The two-door front has upper and lower latches for added security, they're padlock-ready if you choose to add a lock, and there's even a support inside for a wooden shelf (shelf not included) if you want to add one. Storage is safe, it's dry and protected, and the plastic resin construction material is not only extremely strong and durable, but it's also incredibly easy to assemble.
That all combines to mean that you get safe storage for all your stuff, you get it at a great price, and you get it in a package that is simple and convenient. Plus it looks great in your yard, too. For all of those features and more, all you have to do is add the Suncast 5.5 x 5.5 Plastic Resin Storage Shed to your outdoor lineup.

Knoxville (WVLT) - More and more folks are seeking something other than a pill to treat what ails them.
But what if who's ailing, stands on all fours?
As Volunteer TV's Stacy McCloud shows us, alternative medicine is actually most popular in the veterinarian's office!
Ah, the life of a horse. Daily grooming sessions, lots of love, and plenty of rides in the sunshine, or if preferred, a shaded arena.
"He really enjoys lengthening his strides," says Amanda Smith.
That's how "Sheik's Gold Mount", known around these parts as "Sunny", spends his non-competition days.
"He will be 12 on the 1st of August," Smith says.
For a middle aged man, in horse years that is, sunny appears to be totally healthy.
But there's more to this American Quarter Horse than meets the eye.
On top of being allergic to almost everything, "most trees, hays that are popular, grain pollens in sweet feeds, grasses, weeds."
Sunny has back problems.
"They are playing and running and stopping quickly. Dropping, rolling. All that abuse to themselves will pull those vertebras and joints out of place," Smith explains.
Allergy shots allow him to breathe easy, but the therapy for his back is far from something you may consider conventional for a horse.
"He's stiff in the shoulder. There we go." Meet Dr. Steve Adair, Sonny's chiropractor. "When I feel an area not moving properly that is where I make my adjustment at."
Sunny is one of about 600 horses Dr. Adair has treated in the six years he's specialized in this form of alternative veterinary medicine. "I go in and make an adjustment and restore the normal movement in that area and free up the nerve impulses coming from the brain and spinal cord."
You would think pushing on and standing over a 1,200 pound horse would be a little frightening, Dr. Adair says it's "a little intimidating, but not too bad."
That's because most horses find their adjustments relaxing.
"When the vertebra go back you'll see him relax, his head drops, licks his lips," Dr. Adair explains. "Alright, all done."
For the next 48 hours it's only rest and relaxation. Then, it's back, in the saddle again.
"He's just gonna live longer and be happier," Amanda says.
Sonny will be back in for another adjustment in about 6 weeks.
If you're thinking of alternative medicine for your animals, doctor. Adair says make sure their vets are trained and certified in this specialty.

What does a toilet paper roll have to do with great design? A lot, actually. Check out "The Genius of Design" by the BBC. It goes over so much – the ten commandments of design by famed industrial designer Dieter Rams, the beauty of designs by 19th century craftsman William Morris, the work of Christopher Dresser, one of the first independent industrial designers – and that's just in the first episode.
The show covers all aspects of design, large scale and small. Most of all it talks about what inspires us all – enduring, beautiful, simple, functional design. Yes, even toilet paper rolls.

Top Local Tips for Yangon
Burma Shopping Yangon has great shopping. Look around. Travel around all of Burma (Madalay, Bagan, Inle) and buy in Yangon before your return home.
cash only Since Burma is exorcised by the Western world (not the Chinese, Koreans and Japanese), credit cards cannot be accepted. There are no ATM's either, so you have to rely on cash only. Dollars are still preferred to Euros. Usually, the bigger hotels have a better exchange rate than the black market, since the hotels have liabilities in Dollars, so you get above the middle rate. Internet is hardly available, hotmail not at all, Yahoo sometimes and Gmail only through a local unauthorised site. All hotel staff know about this site, so don't worry. Telephone costs are horrendous, we came up to USD 12 per minute for calls to Europe!

Posts tagged: Thompkins
One of the charms of the AFL for years was Ironman players, guys who lined up on both sides of the ball. Those days are largely gone, but injuries and roster limitations sometimes force players to leave their comfort zone.
Standout receiver Brandon Thompkins switched to defensive back last week with Paul Stephens out due to a leg injury. Thompkins did just fine as a DB, as we detail in this week's Shock notebook.
Brandon Thompkins wanted to be traded from Utah and he wanted to return to Spokane. That's exactly what happened last month when Spokane acquired the former Shock receiver.
Thompkins has made some improvements to his game, on and off the field, from his days with the team in 2011-12. Read more here.
The note at the bottom of the link was trimmed in the S-R. Below is the full note on ex-Shock quarterbacks (starters, backups, training camp participants, etc.) seeing time with other franchises.
Spokane has acquired wide receiver Brandon Thompkins from Utah in exchange for defensive back Josh Ferguson and defensive lineman Julian Miller.
Thompkins had 76 receptions, 26 for touchdowns, last season with Spokane. In four games this season with Utah, he had 27 csatches for 345 yards. He didn't play in the Blaze's win over Spokane last Saturday.
The addition of Thompkins (pictured above in a 2011 Spokane game) gives the Shock options for Saturday's home game against Orlando. Shock receiver Kamar Jorden has a tryout at the Indianapolis Colts rookie minicamp this weekend.
Ferguson, a former Spokane player, was released by Utah last week and claimed by the Shock. He's been on the refused to report list. Miller, an AFL rookie, hasn't played in a game.
Spokane also signed former Shock defensive lineman Jon Williams and defensive back Antareis Bryan.

I am so freaking cool. Don't even think otherwise mere mortal. Magnificent. Superhuman. Awe-inspiring. Glorious. Spine-tingling.
Okay, that's enough boastful exaggeration. At the time of this publication the population of the Earth was approximately 6,619,141,604, not including midgets and hairy Sasquatch. Also at the time of this publication Technorati says that this blog is ranked 97,290 of all things blog like. Of course Technorati is fucked up as hell but that's beside the point. Anything that says you're cool is fun. Breaking the 100,000 mark was sort of a milestone. Something like getting that first 100 subscribers, that first comment from an A-Lister, that first million, that first sexual experience, and so on. Okay, I'm full of shit. 97k isn't much to brag about but for a part-time blog that I can't give real attention to it isn't bad. The important thing is that the numbers are steadily increasing.
I didn't have an explosive rise like some bloggers do (congrats to Patrick). I thought I would go through some things I did well and some things I didn't and things I still hope to improve upon.
Things I Did Right (I Think)
- Have A Unique Voice – This is one I think is very important. Your visitors don't want to read something they just read on Search Engine Land. Feel free to write about something you found there but add value to your post. Give people your opinions whatever they are. Regurgitated news is one of my biggest pet peeves.
Post Consistently But Not Carelessly – I don't do a high number of posts (not enough time in the day) but I tend to post once or twice a week and deliver the Friday Tea Time on schedule. Occasionally I miss it but when you have something people like be sure to deliver it. However, as I've mentioned before, don't sacrifice quality just to be consistent.
SEO – Basic SEO will go far. I haven't actively marketed this blog much so I'm just relying on referrals and search engine traffic. Use popular plugins like SEO Title Tag, use the post slug to customize your URL, pay attention to your keywords, and do your basic link building.
Keep Your Blog Clean – Don't confuse your audience with advertising clutter all over the place. Make it easy for readers to subscribe to your feed. Unless you do multiple posts per day, then only use one feed. I know you've read elsewhere to have a feed for each category, but I disagree with that blanket statement. In a few cases it may apply, but it's not the norm. Keep it simple.
Converse With Your Audience – When someone takes the time to comment about one of your posts, it's rude not to respond. If they disagree you can have meaningful debate, and if they agree you can just thank them for stopping by. I realize that when you have 10,000 readers it's probably not possible but getting started you have to do this.
Converse With Other Bloggers – Post relevant comments and opinions on other blogs and do it regularly. This is another time issue for me but I do my best. A-Listers or Z-Listers (me) you'll gain respect and readers will know you're here to stay if they see you in other places. Don't name call and don't post a bunch of "Nice Post" comments. Add something. Don't dump your links all over your comments unless they are actually relevant!
Find Alternate Methods To Gain Traffic – Things like StumbleUpon can give you a big subscriber boost. Here is my #1 tip for using their ad network: Don't submit your homepage. Instead select some of your best posts and promote those. $50 is worth the connections you'll make from it. MyBlogLog is another good one for me. It will bring some decent traffic in. Hint: Have a good avatar and use it consistently. I think mine kicks ass and people remember it. I wish I could find the guy who designed it so I could give him some link love.
Things I Could Do Better (I Think)
Create A Top Posts Section – I really need to do this, I just haven't had time. I keep writing these long ass posts instead of improving my blog. Creating a top post section will let new visitors get an idea about the quality and topics on your blog. You should have an idea fairly quickly from your analytics.
Improve My About Page – When I first started blogging I didn't think many people would bother to read that, but it isn't the case at all. My about page is too short and boring. I need to put up some more information on my experience and post links to other places on the web that I can regularly be found. A good example of an about page is Alister Cameron. This technique also will let you p0wn the results for your vanity search.
Bribe Matt Cutts – Link every post to Matt's blog with nofollow, and tell him you'll remove it if he will just link to you. In every post. Then link to the REAL Matt Cutts.
Quit Talking About Google In Every Post – It's hard but there are other things to talk about.
Post More Blackhat Stuff – I have the same syndrome as all black/gray hats…we don't like to divulge information. When shady stuff works we don't want the Google Gestapo hunting down our methods. I'm changing my thought process on this one though. By the time you figure out some blackhat technique and get it posted you'll need to be changing it up anyway. Posting some of that information will let people new into the SEO world learn. If you haven't heard it before…the best whitehats were blackhats first. Unless your name is Rand. He just kicks ass.
Run More Tests – One of the most visited posts on this blog is the Wikipedia data I published a while back. This type of research takes a lot of effort but it is rewarded in the end. Another great example is the web analytics study that was done by Stone Temple Consulting. Quite possibly the longest study that is freely available. That could have easily been in MarketingSherpa.
Fix My Search Bar – I just realized it doesn't work right if you're inside a post. A good reason to constantly test different parts of your site.
Give Away Stuff – Everyone likes free stuff. That's a no-brainer.
Be More Sociable – Everyone in the SEO industry is easy going and will happily sit down and chat over a beer. There are still a lot of people I haven't met thus far and I plan on doing much more networking at conferences and so forth. I just have to quit being so scary.
Well, that about wraps up this post. Anyone that has any ideas on how I could improve my blog please comment of shoot me an email. I'm a big fan of constructive criticism. We all know we're always learning! If you want to say hello and meet the 97,289 people that are more magnificent than me, register for PubCon. It's warmer than Chicago.

Sweet, sticky, totally tender ribs for the game
The day of the big game calls for big, stick-to-your-ribs grub.
So we went with that as a theme, creating a recipe for boneless beef short ribs that are inspired by all the sweet and sticky goodness of Chinese-style pork ribs. To keep you in front of the television instead of the stove, we kept the recipe simple. Start by dumping everything in a bowl to marinate. When you're ready to cook, transfer it to a baking sheet and pop it in the oven. Done.
To make sure the ribs are meltingly tender, they cook low and slow while you watch the first half of the game. They should be good to go right around half-time. And if beef isn't your thing, the same approach will work with pork ribs and chicken wings (though you'll need to adjust the cooking time).

The Fourth Kind (2009)
Fear 1/5
Gore 0/5
Entertainment 2/5
Creepiness 2/5
This movie is a confusing mess that requires the viewer to accept way too much and ask no questions - kind of like Catholicism. You've probably seen the trailer and know the shtick, but if not here it is: Supposedly, the entire film is true, based on actual footage and interviews of various residents of Nome, AK who have all experience a "close encounter of the 4th kind" - alien abduction. The film pushes this concept to it's extreme by including the actual footage in the film, often side by side on a split screen.
My interest in alien abduction conspiracies peaked in the late 1980's when I read Whitley Strieber's Communion. It was my senior year in high school and it freaked me the fuck out. But I was 18 years old and I am now 38 years old. Since then my interest in the subject has declined to the point that it simply doesn't interest me PERIOD. So, even though the trailer gave me a couple moments of spookiness, I anticipated that it would, ultimately be a dud.
But it isn't quite a dud, nor is it particularly good and here's why - it can't make up it's mind on what kind of movie it wants to be. Is it a fake documentary ala Blair Witch or is it a dramatization of real events ala take-your-pick? The film starts with Mila Jovawhatever walking up to the camera and explaining that the movie is based on real events and that real footage is used. She also warns that the real footage may be disturbing. The rest of the film is a mixture of actors portraying the real people and the real people captured on film - and like I said, it's often split on the screen so that (for example) Mila Jovawhatever will be saying the exact same thing as the psychologist she is portraying, in the same cadence and rhythm.
So first question - what's the point here? What is the artistic statement in having this happen? Is it to prove to the audience that Jovawhatever is a decent actress? Is it to remind us that the dramatized parts of the film are not dramatized at all, just recreation? And if so, what's the point?
How about this - why not make it a full on documentary or a full on dramatization? The only thing I got out of having this mixture on screen is a huge sense of awareness that I was watching actors acting and following a script. I was never, for one second, allowed to sit back and take it all in because of the constant reminder that this was "all based on fact - here, we'll prove it!"
Now, format and style aside, there is the question of whether or not anything on the screen is real or not. My opinion is that ALL of it was scripted, acted and dramatized. Case in point - SPOILER ALERT - there is a scene where a guy shoots his family and then himself in the head. The scene is, supposedly, actual footage (blurred out at the gory parts) that was filmed from one of the police cruisers at the scene. I highly doubt that the MPAA would allow footage of that sort to be used in a film whose sole purpose is to entertain. I doubt that the citizens of Nome would allow it, that the relatives of the family members would allow it, etc. etc. It just doesn't add up.
Then there is the scene where -SPOILER ALERT AGAIN- the doctor is "possessed" by the Sumerian speaking aliens who start barking out scary sounding, death metal vocalizations about how they are God. The stretchy mouth that the doctor gets has been used recently in numerous cheapo horror films and simply and utterly looks like CGI.
Obviously, I am not buying the reality portion of the film. There are numerous things in the film, errors in continuity, dialogue, storylines, that are far to convenient and scripted for me to believe any of it. This isn't to say that I did not buy into the film because I am not a believer in alien abduction (which I am not) but, rather, because the execution was so botched and self-aware that I simply couldn't have bought into any story they presented to me as true. Had it been either a straight documentary or a straight dramatization, this could have been terrifying.
That said, I have to admit that there were some scenes that were pretty freaky and scared me a bit - sounds captured on tape, some of the "real" video footage, and the general idea of people being so terrified by something that they would knowingly and consciously choose to blow their brains out rather than face up to it. That feeling of total helplessness is genuinely scary.
So - verdict? A solid and resounding "meh". Oh and by the way - it's all fucking fake.
- Complaint Dept
I've avoided this film based on Complaint Dept.'s review along with a few others. But after reading a pretty solid one from Mr. Johnny Boots over at Freddy in Space, I decided to give it a shot. I won't give a recap as Complaint Dept. does that above. What I will say is that this film has a few things working for it which makes it a worthwhile watch.
I happened to like the aliens being presented with a sort of god-like quality. I found it to be a particularly interesting concept. It wasn't done in a very heavy handed way but rather they were shown to be a manipulative force, taking on the appearance of some higher being in order to get you to submit to their will. And the Sumerian babblings heightened this concept and made for some creepy moments.
The other thing I enjoyed is that it doesn't really play into the alien idea all that much. What I mean by that is the word 'alien' is used only once. Of course, as the viewer, you know that that eventual conclusion will be drawn. But the fact that no one is running around talking about eggheaded beings with ray guns or hubcap shaped saucers floating in the air is key in creating drama and tension. Any combination of these elements could have lead to this film devolving into b-movie schlocky-ness. So kudos to the filmmakers for keeping some air of 'mystery.'
The pairing of the captured 'real' life events with the actors portraying the victims and showing their reactions right alongside each other was the most distracting element to the film. When the 'captured' footage was shown and you had Milla Jovawhatever acting alongside, the reactions and expressions never matched up. This misstep also occured in other scenes pairing the 'footage' next to the actors onscreen.
All in all, the film is definitely worth a watch. A couple of decent scares and as mentioned, from a conceptual standpoint, there are some interesting things going on. But The Fourth Kind is not a film I will revisit anytime soon.

Yeah, this movie basically sucks a lot of crap. I'd love it if someone could make a kick-ass scary alien movie but clearly The 4th Kind isn't it.

The first sentence of this review is probably one of the greatest sentences I've ever read.

I still would like to eventually check it out, mostly because I am a sucker for alien films and enjoy even the less than stellar ones, like Communion, for example.
Still, I do agree with Jeff, I wish there was a real kick ass movie about realistic (?!) aliens that has no exploding buildings or Will Smith in it. Fire in the Sky would maybe be the closest, and while I love that film, it is pretty flawed.
