BEECH ISLAND--Three different riders, three different horses, and the same winning results.
Team Hollow Creek Farm's recent success is no accident. The labor intensive approach and winning program of trainer Andrea King has produced impressive performances.
But, it takes a team. Angel Karolyi and Amigo won the $75,000 Upperville Jumper Classic, Victor Segovia and Romeo captured the $60,000 Country Heir II Grand Prix and Emmanuel Andrade and Walter 61 earned blue ribbon honors in the $50,000 Grand Prix of Roanoke.
"I'm excited about the way everything has been going with the team," said Karolyi. "We're very lucky to have a great team. There are so many people involved with our success, our team of grooms, a great trainer like Andrea, the horses, outstanding sponsors and the professionals we have working on the horses."
The tangibles of the riders and horses talents have also played a large role in making for a seamless spring, but a daily routine of intense training, a disciplined approach to producing optimal results, and a focused effort to reach their objectives were all part of the Hollow Creek Farm program.
"It was super," said Karolyi. "It was an unbelievable month of June. That's why we work so hard every day to try to make those kind of moments happen."
A lot of travel is involved, copious amounts of planning required, and the logistics can provide its share of challenges, said Karolyi.
"Andrea helps with that, and she's great at it," said Karolyi. "We're all involved with the process."
Hollow Creek Farm plays a critical role in the success of the program, said Karolyi.
"It's important to have a place to come back to," said Karolyi. "The facility is unbelievable for the horses. They get to be horses at Hollow Creek, and it helps with their training. We have enough land here, so it's not like they're being trained in a fish tank. They're big animals, have ample room and green areas to feel good about themselves."

I think with my heart and move with my head.-Kongos
There's still no real definition of "crime". Something that constitutes filing a police report in the UK could be very different from something that constitutes filing a police report in France.
I'm reasonably sure that none of these things, homicide or not can be attributed to video games.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

The state, and its power is at the very heart of their ideology. Lacking that power, they would not be able to inflict their ideology on others.
By shifting the focus to violent video games (or guns for that matter), they appear to be "doing something" about the problems, when in reality, its all sound bites and feel good emotional nonsense. This has happened countless times, through out the generations before. Until people start to critically examine their basic assumptions, this will not change.

If you look at crime statistics the number one factor in crime is poverty. The poorer the country, generally the higher the crime rate. The poorer the city, generally the higher the crime rate - e.g. Detroit in the us. The poorer the neighbourhood within the city, generally the higher the crime.
They're are weird exceptions, like over here London is the wealthiest big city, but also has the highest crime, where as Sheffield is one of the poorest big cities but has the lowest crime rare of them. But generally speaking, the less money people have, especially compared to their nearby neighborhoods, the higher the crime rate.

Ahh devil ether.
Alot of people are arguing about or perhaps have an interest in the most or least violent countries. Here is the Global Peace Index findings for 2012 published by the Institute for Economics and Peace. I have no hog in this battle, just thought I'd post it. As an aside, I own 4 shotguns, 6 rifles, a muzzleloader and a pistol. I also have some boxcutters, scissors, a sword on the wall, a couple axes and a weedwhacker. I have no intention of harming anyone with them.
The US was 88th of 158 countries while the brits were 29th. Enjoy!

After reading through this thread I've come to the following conclusions.
1. We are all friggin nuts in our own way
2. Mankind is a violent creature
3. Banning of video games, violent or otherwise is ridiculous
Now for my input,
First off, yes I am one of those gun-totting, fanatical, crazy, Americans that everyone around the world loves to hate. I have played video games dating all the back to the atari 2600, I have watched cartoons as a youngster and as an adult. I have been using firearms for fun since about 8 years of age. I own multiple firearms from a SEMI-automatic AR-15 to multiple types of hunting rifles some with scoops some without and pistols as well. I could list reasons for the legittimate ownership of every single gun I own based off of personel feeling and activities I do but I will not do so for your sanity as this post is already going to be long.
The thought of banning video game, movies, or the like is complete stupidity IMO. The thought of these being the root cause of violent acts is so rediculous to me, Im still having trouble beleiving we are having this discussion. We as a species are violent in nature we pass laws that try to restrict that nature through fear of what will be done to us as a result of breaking them Blaming an object for the ways in which it was used is stupidity of the finest form.
Now as far as gun banning, not to pop ya'lls bubbles but just to the south of the good old USA is Mexico. A country with some of the strictes gun laws in the west but look at the gun violence that occrs there.
IMO the viloence problem is a social issue that is not going to be fixed anytime soon. Some of the oldest cultures in the world are the most viloent. Someone with the intent to do harm in their heart is going to do harm weather it be with a gun, a knife, a bat, or rock they pick up off the ground. Mass vilence has been around since man began gathering in mass so should we then stop gathering.
All we can do as a people is to try to identify those that need help and get them that help as fast as possible.
Ive rambled enough and wasted enough of your time with this post .
So have a wonderful and great day folks

That there is some fuzzy "common sense" connection between things....doesn't make it so. And people using that fuzzy, lazy "common sense" are a terror, imo.

At that point you're either going to be evaluated and released right away, or they will keep you for up to 72 hours (3 days). It's honestly a 50/50 chance which one will happen, and it depends on a number of factors. Regardless, your day is being ruined for sure. And all of this is BEFORE any sort of actual commitment.
Yeah, unless you've gone to school for this stuff, you know people who have been through it, or you yourself have been through it... you have no idea how easy it actually is to make someone disappear into the system, at least for a while. I've also seen it abused MANY times. Ex-spouses, upset family members or friends, disgruntled employees. It gets abused all the time for many reasons. That's why they tend to do the 72 hour hold prior to any sort of real commitment, because it gives doctors a chance to truly observe someone and see what if any danger they do present. The majority of the time they don't present any danger to anyone.
If you're going to move to another country, please make sure you know how to speak/write in their language, because your English is absolutely atrocious.

Ad hom is a distraction tactic used to try and take away someones credibility when the facts of the argument are no longer working for them. Where I live, what race or nationality I am, what I eat for breakfast, or whether or not I am a poo poo brain, all are irrelevant to the argument made. The argument that you still don't seem to want to think about.
So I will ask it again.
Do we want to make it harder or easier for mass murderers to slaughter large amounts of people?

Excellent article, Pokket. I have played my share of violent video games, but I know the difference between reality and fantasy quite well and can easily separate the two. I have been treated for depression and bipolar disorder (and I was a holy terror as a kid) but I am not a violent person by any means. In fact I have a weakness for cute things like teddy bears and babies LOL.
Parents are ultimately responsible for what they introduce their children to. It's not that hard to educate yourself about what kind of material a game or movie contains and then decide if it is appopriate for your child. Being ignorant is no excuse. And I fully believe the government here in America is looking for any convienent scrapegoat they can find. Mental health is not a high priority in America but it should be - recieving the proper treatment for mental conditions helps prevent a LOT of problems.

Re the gun issue, I think it boils down to the simple fact that it's much harder to commit mass murder with a knife than it is with a gun, any gun, which is also probably why some of the poorer countries tend to have more of a problem with suicide bombers(fertilizer is much easier to produce than guns/missiles).
As for violent videogames and movies, call me a carebear if you must but I firmly believe in keeping them under tight age restrictions, just like all violent news stories should not be aired during "family" hours. The more a person is exposed to something, be it sex, violence, discrimination, or whatever, the more desensitized one gets to it.
Death used to be scary and undesirable, something parents would steer their children away from even hearing about let alone watching on tv, reading about in the newspapers, and certainly not taking them to movies or buying them games that glorified it, now it seems that they're all grooming their kids to become the next big werewolf or vampire sensation, or honey booboo or some other variant of child explotation.:/
Yes the "boys" will always want their bigger and better"toys" and the women will always swarm to the alpha male thus perpetuating the whole war/death syndrome, all we can do is try to keep it from destroying the human race and if it takes some big brother controls to help do that, I don't see a huge problem with it. After all we let them control our food chain and that is what will ultimately end up finishing us all off if they don't smarten up and stop poisoning it with pesticides, genetic tampering etc.

Exactly that, the parents are the ones buying these "violent" games for their under aged children. It's just something for people to blame that isn't themselves.

Some people use them for target practice, and never kill anything (look at the Olympics for example) . Some people collect them. Again, they never kill anything. Its all about how a tool is used.
In response to your last, do you want to make it *harder*, or *easier* for law abiding people to defend themselves from dangerous criminals?

Did you know that in the 10 years that assault rifles were banned, it had no significant impact on the number of people being killed with them? No study, sponsored by any group, was able to find any correlation to a reduction in violent crime with or without the ability to purchase legally an assault rifle.
Something like 6000 people were killed by a handgun in 2011, compared to just over 300 assault rifles.
No one's blamig handguns though. I personally believe that the banning of handguns would be fine, and every american of sound mind shouldn't just be able to purchase an M16, but should be encouraged to do so.
As long as a government is equiping soldiers with assault rifles, so to should the citizens; especially citizen militia. You do not hunt with a pistol, and you would be hard pressed to stand up to your government with one as well.
Even if profits weren't involved, the US government (mine) would rather ban assualt rifles than ban handguns. No government likes it's citizens armed with assualt riffles. It's naive to think they would.
Thomas Jefferson believed that a government needed to be reminded who was in power ever 20 years or so, through citizen uprising. The same guy that helped to give us the right to bear arms, felt it was our job to periodically use them against our government.
He believed that was the only way to prevent a government from becoming corrupt. He believed that even during his 2 terms as president.
Considering the state of our government, I really can't say he was wrong.

gotta love american logic
every citizen has the right to carry a gun
logical conclusion out of that: every gunfight is caused by a video game!
seriously... do we actually need to argue on that one?

LET ME THROW SOME STATS AT YOU ... softly:
. In 2011, according to fbi.gov, California had 1,790 total murders, 1,220 which were caused by handguns. This number doubles that of any other state, including TX that had 1,089 murders, 699 were with firearms.
. In 1920, Britain passed a law requiring civilians to obtain a certificate from their district police chief in order to purchase or possess any firearm except a shotgun. To obtain this certificate, the applicant had to pay a fee, and the chief of police had to be "satisfied" that the applicant had "good reason for requiring such a certificate" and did not pose a "danger to the public safety or to the peace." The certificate had to specify the types and quantities of firearms and ammunition that the applicant could purchase and keep
. In 1968, Britain made the 1920 law stricter by requiring civilians to obtain a certificate from their district police chief in order to purchase or possess a shotgun. This law also required that firearm certificates specify the identification numbers ("if known") of all firearms and shotguns owned by the applicant
. In 1997, Britain passed a law requiring civilians to surrender almost all privately owned handguns to the police. More than 162,000 handguns and 1.5 million pounds of ammunition were "compulsorily surrendered" by February 1998. Using "records of firearms held on firearms certificates," police accounted for all but fewer than eight of all legally owned handguns in England, Scotland, and Wales
. ...the homicide rate in England and Wales has averaged 52% higher since the outset of the 1968 gun control law and 15% higher since the outset of the 1997 handgun ban
. Chicago did a handgun ban in 1982. In 1995 the law was amended and in 2010 many of the laws passed in chicago and suburbs were repealed. In 2005, 96% of the firearm murder victims in Chicago were killed with handguns.

PS: I wonder how many people ever wonder if the fact that our government can't take our guns away, may have a bit to do with why many americans try to blame things like games, movies, and music.
They can't take the tool, so they try to fix what they think might be the underlying problem, the person.

With this line of reasoning citizens should have the right to build nuclear weapons. Its only a tool...
We are not talking about a multipurpose instrument here. Hunting is the only acceptable reason to own a gun, and no one is suggesting taking away peoples hunting rifles. You don't need an assault rifle to protect yourself, heck a stun gun would work, what are armed militias invading your neighborhood? So you live in Afghanistan or something that you need Ak47's to protect yourself?? Give me a break.
I just don't understand this sort of religious zealotry some Americans have over this issue, its like they have blinders on to common sense.

Adoption Story:
Two years ago, after finishing our pregame meal on my way to the control room, where our team of experts make the magic happen at Wolves games - can I get a high five for that Hangover OT video? - I did what I always do on Chicago Wolves Adopt-A-Dog nights. I went to play with the pups.
I already have one puppy friend. Her name is Charlotte and she's seven pounds of pomeranian who comes with 6000 pounds of sass. We're perfectly matched that way. I had been thinking about adding another canine bud to the mix, but had no concrete plans to do so. Then I saw Minnie's big eyes peering over the shoulder of one of the great people from Animal Care and Control who staff these events. She was tiny, maybe three pounds. The staff told me she was a terrier/maltese mix. Turns out, that was incorrect, she is a terrier/terrier mix, so that's been fun. Can I get a high five from terrier owners?
This is the part of the story that's usually set to music in movies - we bonded, I adopted her, and toward the end of the third period I went and picked her up.
When I got her home, I changed her name to Willy. My favorite book growing up - and let's be honest, I can probably still squeeze out a good cry today - was Charlotte's Web. That's where Charlotte gets her name. Willy was a problem, though. I wanted to stick to my theme, but Willy's a girl and I couldn't fathom naming this dog either Fern or Wilbur, so I named her Willy. Guess what? It perfectly embodies who she is, just as Charlotte's managed to live up to her namesake - though her vocabulary, while exemplary for a dog, doesn't quite match the spider's.
Here is what Willy is: She snorts; she still occasionally pees on the floor; she's a hairy mess; she barks; she bites; she's mean to her sister - Charlotte, can I get a high five? - she lunges at other dogs and at people who jog, people who walk, people who are people; she eats shoes, clothing, furniture, packaging, hangars, books, the floor, and her expert way through a bag of dog food; she sleeps on my pillows with her sound end facing directly towards - you guessed it - me; she's unable to understand the basic premise of the following: vacuums, other dogs, the window, her kennel, me taking phone calls, people food versus dog food, elevators, gmail, and no; and her kisses are slobber central and kind of smelly.
Here's why none of that matters: Wills has the heart of a lion. She is absolutely loyal. She's my best friend. She has made my heart bigger.
So thank you to the Chicago Wolves for the next 15 years of stepping in cold pee. Thank you for 15 years of the best part of my day: When I come home from work and get to see the ladies.
Can I get a high five for cold pee? Nah.

High school athletics has not always been a place for fair play.
Prior to 1972 with the passing of Title IX, women's athletics were not recognized, and coaches and players had to fight to earn the recognition and rights their peers already enjoyed.
Players from the first women's teams at Forbush High School recall with both nostalgia and frustration their struggles to be recognized as athletes. They spent their afternoons driving all over the county to practice at elementary schools, gyms, colleges and recreation league courts to play any team willing to compete.
They had no access to their own gym, no activity bus to transport them and no funds to cover the cost of uniforms.
"We didn't have a lot to hope for my last year at East Bend School," said Joy Fox, a team captain on Forbush's first female basketball team. "It was thrown at us that the next year we wouldn't have a basketball team. I came from a basketball family, and that came first rather than academics."
Fox's fears were alleviated when she met the woman who would change the face of women's athletics at Forbush High. Coach Linda McCormick would come to be seen as a beacon for women's athletics and would fight to make sure her players were recognized and honored like all other athletes at the school.
An uphill battle
McCormick was a health and physical education teacher who had a strong background in basketball. She grew up on a tobacco farm in Yadkin County. She played basketball throughout elementary and high school.
"I played at Surry Central, and before Surry Central I went to Copeland," McCormick said. "I wasn't bad; I got All Northwest. The year that I went into college they did away with women's basketball."
In fact, basketball is what kept McCormick from dropping out of school in the eighth grade. She said she enjoyed playing sports but hated attending classes. Once, she staid out of school for six weeks before her mother was notified by the school.
"When they contacted her and told her, she went to the school and talked to the basketball coach there because she knew that I liked sports," McCormick said. "He had his star players from the basketball team start an eighth grade team just to get me interested. When I found out that was going on I went to school."
McCormick went on to college and got her teaching degree and returned to Yadkin County to teach at Forbush. It wasn't long before she was being sought by several girls like Joy Fox who wanted a team of their own to play on.
"I told them they had taken the teams out of the schools, but they said they wanted to play anyways. So I got a group together and took them out to practice, and I realized these girls were good," McCormick said. "I started finding ways to practice with them."
Since the school did not recognize women's athletics, McCormick was not allowed access to the gym or equipment and had to resort to using elementary school gyms at 9 p.m. to practice.
"We weren't allowed to have basketball practice in the gym at Forbush, so we drove our own cars and, we practiced at little Forbush, Fall Creek and Boonville, which was the closed African-American school," Fox said. "After school each day we would drive as far as Boonville to practice and McCormick would be right there with us."
McCormick would call in favors with friends' coaching teams at Winston-Salem State University, Lenoir-Rhyne University, Appalachian State University, Elon University and Hanes Park Recreation in Winston-Salem in order to find teams for the girls to compete against.
"It was about playing," Fox said. "It didn't matter if you didn't have uniforms or a conference; you just wanted to play. If we had to drive our car or bargain with people to have the gym then that's what we did."
This went on for five years before Title IX was finally passed and required gender equity for boys and girls in every educational program that receives federal funding.
"When women's sports came back to the high schools in 1972 we were pretty good because we had been playing for five years," McCormick said. "Nobody could touch us. That's how it all got started."
McCormick didn't stop with basketball. She went on to start a women's tennis team, softball team and volleyball team in her 22 years of coaching at Forbush.
McCormick said that even though the school was required to recognize women's athletics they were still not treated with equality. McCormick said that the men's teams were always given preference to the activity bus and the gym. She said she wasn't even given a lighter teaching schedule or equal pay as her male counterparts.
"We won all the time, and our boys' record wasn't as good so that was hard on them," McCormick said. "In 1979 when we won the state championship in softball, they started to recognize our program. It was still a fight to get a bus and to get practice space and time. The last year of my coaching we were finally equal."
McCormick said that she was always regarded as a feminist by her co-workers and fellow coaches. They assumed that was why she was so adamant about making sure the girl's were treated equally.
"After maybe 10 years into coaching they found out that I was really sincere in what I was doing," McCormick said.
Against all odds
McCormick said she was able to successfully install a women's athletics program at Forbush, and by the end of her career it was functioning as an equal program to that of the men's teams.
There was something still missing. The annual awards banquet honored the entire year of athletics, and the school was still not recognizing a female athlete of the year.
McCormick demanded that she be allowed to name her athlete of the year, but the athletic director would not give her a definite answer.
"I said come hell or high water it would happen," McCormick said. "If I have to buy it myself, then I'll buy it and have her name put on it. And I will get out there and speak and embarrass the hell out of you all."
She ended up naming Marty Driver the first female athlete of the year in 1974.
"She didn't think it was going to happen, and so she didn't say anything to anyone," Driver said. "It seems that the athletic director had kept it a secret from her until the night of the banquet. He had my plaque and everything engraved on it perfectly, but no one knew until that night. There has been a female and male athlete of the year ever since at Forbush High School."
Driver said that McCormick's dedication to her teammates was inspirational and touching. She said that her number one goal in high school was making sure that she would make Coach McCormick proud in whatever she did.
"My coach was such a role model for me growing up," Driver said. "I loved and respected her so much, and I wanted her to be proud of me. I busted my butt just because I wanted her to be proud. She was really tough on us because she wanted to get the best out of us."
McCormick said it wasn't important to her that her girls pursued a higher education and had a plan for their lives after high school than to just go on to become wives and mothers.
"I pushed my players to go to college," McCormick said. "Some of them earned scholarships, and I knew a lot of people at the colleges because I had all these meetings and I had connections. I did everything I could to get my kids into college."
Fox said that she had no plans for her life her senior year of high school and hadn't even bothered to take the SATs. When McCormick learned that Fox wasn't planning a future she set out to help her find somewhere to continue her education.
"She told me I really needed to go to college, and I told her I hadn't even taken the SAT," Fox said. "She helped me find a school that didn't require SAT scores, so that's how I got in. Without that direction I guess I would have stayed on the farm and gone to work. She was instrumental in me going on to college."
McCormick's legacy at Forbush remains strong in the minds of her players, and many of them feel that she was a trailblazer and Forbush High School was lucky to have her there.
"She was really a prize that Forbush does not recognize," Fox said. "She needs more recognition. She should have a trophy case of her own at Forbush. If the girls had not had McCormick there to anchor us and give us direction then I don't know what would have happened to us; probably nothing good."
"She was ahead of her time as far as seeing women as equals to the men," Driver said. "The girl's athletic program probably wouldn't have started when it did or come as far as it has if it wasn't for her."
McCormick said that while she still feels anger creeping up when she reminisces on those days, she would do it all over again.
"I felt like I had to fight for everything," McCormick said. "I don't know what was the matter with them, I really don't. The only thing I can figure is they weren't subject to change and they weren't going to. So everything I wanted for the girls I had to fight for. I have no regrets whatsoever."
A different world
Today coaches and athletes alike can't imagine a world like the one McCormick, Fox and Driver endured. There's a women's equivalent to every sport available at Forbush High School, and there are even women competing on male dominated teams like wrestling and hunter safety.
"Students have more opportunities today than 20 years ago," said Forbush Assistant Principal Candice Dinkins. "Young ladies can participate in events that had once been only male dominated. It is awesome that we do not hold these young ladies to the traditional women's sports but open the doors for them to achieve their dreams in a variety of extracurricular events."
Laken Jowers, a Forbush senior and the only female on the school's wrestling team, has a unique view of the changes in today's women's athletics.
"As a female wrestler I am in a predominately male sport," Jowers said. The way a person responds to what I do depends on who they are. Many of my opponents underestimate me. However, most people, including my coaches, teachers, parents and teammates are very respectful and supportive."
The women's soccer coach Kennan James feels that it's an honor to be a women's coach at Forbush today. He's coached men's soccer teams for over 10 years at Forbush and has served as the head coach for women's varsity soccer since 2000.
"It's definitely different but I like it better because the girl's absorb most everything you teach them," James said. "With boys there more of a struggle with authority."
Dinkins said that while inequality isn't a problem at Forbush anymore she feels the biggest difference in today's high school sports is the demand on the students.
"I think there's more demand on our athletes today," Dinkins said. "When I was in school you could play one sport at a time but now a lot of the coaches want their athletes all the time. I think they demand a lot."
Dinkins said that all of the school's trophies from its beginnings to now are on display in the main building's lobby but due to an increasingly crowded space the trophies are not easy to group by year or to browse through.
"We want to put historical items in our science building because we have an unfinished conference room that would be a great display room for those items," Dinkins said. We would house historical data and memorabilia there as well as the awards and recognitions. We're still in the process of locating 45 years of items to display in that room."

Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 24 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by vrlargo Love at First Stud I absolutely adore these boots. I've been keeping my eye on them since October, and when I checked the page out of curiosity a couple of weeks ago and still saw them on the website, I knew I had to order them! They are probably the fiercest pair of boots I own, and the compliments I've received on them have proven just the worth of them. The studding is gorgeous and the leather itself is of high quality. I personally LOVE over the knee boots, so for my 5'4 frame, I got just what I asked for :) The good thing is that I sized up. I'm normally an 8 and opted for the 9, which was a great choice. If you're in between buying them or not, I'd definitely order them. They're worth it! 3.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by melissapiontek LOVE <3 Khaki Color Size 6 These boots are AMAZING. I got them for the sale price what an AWESOME deal. First off the foot toe box and this shoe is small, it fit TTS, but its not a big and bulky boot its very dainty. Also I found the over the knee length was PERFECT it was long but not overwhelming. I am also surprised no one's comments on how SOFT this leather is. The leather does look distressed a bit more than I would like, but it pretty much is like the picture and gives the boot a bit of rugged look. 4.29.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ninakla Best Investment I got these in black in a size 9. If you are a half size, definitely size up. I can't begin to tell you how amazing these boots are. I have been looking for tall boots like these for yearsssss. It was love at first sight. I've worn them almost every day since I got them 3 months ago. There isn't a day that goes by I am not stopped by someone asking me where I got them. It's become a joke with me & my boyfriend how often I am stopped/complimented. The most expensive pair of shoes I own but worth every penny. I am contemplating ordering another pair in the near future incase I wear these poor heels down with how often I wear them. Don't hesitate this purchase!! 12.29.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by marnclark Must Buy These boots are absolutely fabulous - everything I had hoped for and more. The leather is a little light but it makes them easier to wear. I am 5'10" and they hit right at my knee, which is extremely hard to find nowadays. The only trouble I've had is they they run a little small - I am a size 10 and had to get an 11, and now have a little extra room at the toe. I am SO SO grateful that my mother bought these for me and would highly suggest them if you want to delight your twentysomething daughter! I don't think I'm ever taking them off... 11.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by wordcutouts THESE BOOTS. OH MY GOD. So I ordered the black ones with silver studs and holy guacamole, they are beautiful. I'm 5'7" and they come up past my knees a little further than they do in the photo, but they're awesome regardless! I'm usually a 8½ but because they're Jeffery Campbell, I ordered a 9. They fit fine although they do rub the outside of my foot a little bit, but socks fix that problem pretty well. I think they are awesome and if you're willing to drop the money on boots, these should be the pair you buy. 10.4.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Sexy Cool What an awesome pair of boots! I'm only 5'2" and was concerned that these would be too long on my legs, but they hit just above my knees. If I tie them off like the model with the upper part left unlaced, they look and feel pretty darned good on. The fit is tts. I can get a thin sock and skinnies into these without a problem. I purchased these in black. They are very eye catching especially from behind, because the studding runs down the back seams. These would look pretty awesome with shorts and tights, skinnies, leggings, and maxi dresses. 9.13.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mrtodd6 Coolest boot on Earth Bought these as a gift for my 20 yr old daughter's birthday. She is 5'8" so they look amazing on her. These boots are NOT for shorter girls! The boots are expensive but very well made, sturdy, and comfortable. She was so excited about these boots she hugged them and ME! I ordered the Khaki which is a distressed looking dark grayish. She usually wears an 8 1/2 or a 9 and the size 9 fit perfectly. The girl who wears these boots must posses a very secure sense of confidence. They are attention getters! Awesome trendy cool and daring! 10.18.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Yazy AMAZING!! First I want to say that this boot looks exactly like the picture, and I personally love it. The sale price is reasonable, however, this boot is not for everyone they are attention grabbers!!! Every time I go out people comment on them. I don't know about the green boots but the black ones look a little fetish lol (so be prepared for FemDom jokes from friends) Anyways they are very funky don't hesitate if you LIKE this style it's truly unique. I'm 5'10 and it covers my knee size wise I'm an 8/12 usually but I got a 9 in these and it fits great, leather is decent I've worn it everyday since I got them! 4.7.2013

CHARLESTON — Four Mingo County mining operations were recently recognized by the coal industry for their safety efforts in 2012 as part of the West Virginia Coal Association's 40th Annual West Virginia Mining Symposium.
The Mingo County operations receiving safety awards were:
• Rockhouse Creek Development Co., No. 8 Underground Mine;
• CK Coal Corp., Mine No. 5 Underground Mine;
• Phoenix Coal Mac Mining, Inc., Holden No. 22 Surface Mine;
• Consol of Kentucky, Peg Fork Surface Mine.
"Our industry is committed to sending our coal miners home at the end of their shifts," West Virginia Coal Association President, Bill Raney, said. "Our member companies work hard every day to meet the highest standards of workplace safety and our goal is simple – zero accidents. We believe this is an attainable goal."
The West Virginia Coal Association's Mountaineer Guardian Awards are presented each year to mining companies that have demonstrated a commitment to safety standards. Inspectors for the West Virginia Office of Mine Health, Safety and Training nominate companies based on numerous criteria.
Elk Run Coal Company's Republic Energy operation in Raleigh County earned the top safety award bestowed upon surface mine operations — the Bart B. Lay Milestones in Safety Award. The McElroy Coal Company's McElroy Mine in Marshall County claimed the top honor for underground mining operations in the state — the Eustace E. Frederick Award.
A total of 38 mining operations across the state were recognized at the event.

"I have no doubt that we will get closer to the knockout as soon as Cigano lands one or two punches," Luiz Carlos Dorea told MMAFighting.com. "Cains ability to take a punch is his weakness, and thats what we will explore in this fight."
"Cigano" needed only 64 seconds to end Velasquezs undefeated run at UFC on FOX on Nov. 12, 2011, and Dorea is confident the fight will play out the same way next month.
"Cain is a complete fighter, deserves our respect, but Cigano is stronger and more durable," he said. "The best way to win this fight is work on the punches, and we know the title is coming back to Brazil."
One year after the first bout, Dos Santos fought Velasquez for the second time and suffered his first loss in the UFC in a five-round beating from the American Kickboxing Academy product.
"Cigano" had divorced his wife before competing at UFC 155, and Dorea guarantees his protégé will be "100 percent focused" on the fight this time.
"What happened outside the cage is in the past, were sure he will get the win this time," he said. "We are confident. Cigano is a great athlete. In the first fight, Cigano knocked him out. In the second fight, he showed he can resist punishment for five rounds. Cigano is a well-rounded fighter, he showed he has knockout power and a great chin. We will fight against a great champion, but Cigano has learned a lot from that loss."

During their P.E. classes in February, kindergarten through 5th grade students at Fort Dorchester Elementary School got the jump on heart disease and stroke. Under the direction of their P.E. teachers, Donna Williams, Missy Mortier and Kara Muller the students participated in the school's 11th annual "Jump Rope For Heart" event. During two of their P.E. classes, the students participated in a number of different jumping stations designed to increase their heart rate.
The "Jump Rope For Heart" program provided an opportunity for the students to perform community service, while promoting teamwork and building school spirit as they worked together for a good cause.
The event was a rousing success, as it taught the participants about the benefits of regular exercise, proper nutrition, a smoke-free environment and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol. It addressed the importance of physical fitness and an overall healthy lifestyle as a means of reducing the risks and consequences of poor health.
Fort Dorchester Elementary School donated $14,000.00 to the American Heart Association to help in the fight against two of the deadliest diseases in South Carolina and the nation, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Charleston Mayor Joe Riley was the keynote speaker at a Charleston Southern University Board of Visitors breakfast held at the Wingate by Wyndham hotel on the campus of CSU earlier this month.
Riley said he was excited driving on to campus and seeing firsthand the physical growth at CSU.
Charleston Southern opened a new athletic center in August and currently has three additional capital projects under construction this fall: an expanded Hunter Reception Center, nursing building and the final stages of the 26,500-square-foot Christian Leadership Building at the center of campus.
Just coming here is thrilling to me, to see whats happened since 1965 and under Jairys (Hunter) leadership, said the Charleston mayor. I remember when the college was formed. I remember Dr. Hamrick starting this.
Anytime we tackle difficult things its important to remember that every institution that we value in our communities are started by somebody. It didnt just happen. Theyre not automatic. It requires vision and leadership and tenacity.
Paul Heinauer, president of Glasspro Inc. and member of Charleston Southern Universitys Board of Visitors gave the opening remarks at the breakfast.
Hes (Heinauer) one of my heroes, said Riley. Were a country of self-made people; were a country of entrepreneurs, and were a country of people who are usually successful because of their values.

Georges St-Pierre says battle with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) reason behind UFC leave
During a recent interview with CBC News, "Rush" revealed that it was his battle with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) that's been driving him crazy and forced him away from the sport he's dominated for the better part of the last decade.
If you're wondering how something like that affected him, Georges explained it the best way he could by saying, while having the disorder isn't all negative for a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, obsessing over an opponent on a daily bases and the pressures that come with being a target, were just too much to handle.
His words:
"As a competitor, as a fighter, it's a good thing to have it because it makes you better, because you completely obsess about being a better martial artist. Every day, everything that you do is oriented toward a goal. This same obsession I have about my work, my job, to make me better, it was going to drive me crazy. That's why I took that break. I don't call it a retirement because I don't know if it will be, but, I had to step away from the competition for a while. I've been doing it for so long. First, I started because it was fun, I loved it. Then the fun became a business. Then the business with the critics, the expectations, the pressure; you're the target and everybody wants what you have. You become obsessive like crazy, so, I had to get out to keep my mental health."

ActionMcFarlane opens up the garage and rolls out its NASCAR Series 5 lineup, featuring five of today's top drivers, one NHRA living legend and one commemorative figure for a racing star who left us all too soon. Here's our field of seven:
MARTIN TRUEX JR. The son of a talented driver has been adopted by racing's first family -- competing in the 2004 Busch Series for Teresa and Dale Earnhardt Jr's Chance 2 Racing team, while also getting two Nextel Cup starts under his belt.
DAVEY ALLISON. The #28 Havoline car saw 19 checkered flags in its eight-year career with Davey Allison behind the wheel. Part of the famed "Alabama Gang," Davey thrilled fans with his one-two finish behind his father, Bobby, in the 1988 Daytona 500, before winning NASCAR's biggest race outright in 1992. Davey Allison was taken from us in 1993 following a helicopter crash at Talladega Superspeedway, but his memory lives on -- including a spot in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.
JOHN FORCE. Funny car legend John Force won his 13th NHRA POWERade championship in 2004, while increasing his career victory total to a head-shaking 114. There seems to be no end in sight for the sheer dominance of Force's #1 Castrol GTX Start Up Ford Mustang.
DALE JARRETT. The UPS car delivered a season-opening victory at the Bud Shootout in 2004, the 20th season in Jarrett's stellar career. The 88 car amassed five other "Top 5" finishes and earned the 15th slot in the final driver standings.
KEVIN HARVICK. The 2001 NASCAR Rookie of the Year just keeps getting better and better. Harvick finished 14th in the 2005 Nextel Cup standings, while turning in five "Top 5" and 14 "Top 10" finishes.
CASEY MEARS. After training in the Craftsman Truck and Busch Series, Mears made his presence felt during his second full season in the Nextel Cup Series. The 41 car won pole positions at the Pennsylvania 500 and Brickyard 400 in consecutive weeks and turned in a season-high fourth-place finish at the Sirius at the Glen race in August.
TONY STEWART. The 2002 NASCAR champion continued to tear up the track in 2005, winning the Tropicana 400 and the Sirius at the Glen races to help qualify for the first "Chase for the Cup" and finish the season in sixth place overall.
Look for the seven-figure NASCAR 5 series to arrive in stores this June. Check back to www.spawn.com and www.actionmcfarlane.com for more details and photos of these figures in the coming weeks.

What Drives Some Young Muslim Men To Violence?
By Staff
It's been a week since the Boston Marathon bombing, and people are still wondering why they happened. Media sources have suggested possible motivations, like the suspects turning to radical Islam. Host Michel Martin gets perspective on how young Muslims are reacting to this case, and how Islamic extremists are spotted. She hears from AbdelRahman Murphy, a youth director at a Tennessee mosque; and Mohamed Elibiary, who works with radicalized Muslim youth.

Interesting. Perhaps you are using a PAL (european) version of the game. The guide tells you how to check for that. Do you know if the game you are using and your Wii system are of the same region?
Do you own the discs for said other games?Originally Posted by ElementalStudio
Ah, ok. Well I believe there is a program that can tell you (I know Dolphin can tell the games region).Originally Posted by ElementalStudio
Okay can you/or some send a link for that
Also for one of the games that sort of worked in CFG [mario sunshine] it gave a message about view the game in 60h.... is that bad?
Gangnam Style
I know a lot of people in this thread like the other loaders (ie not USB GX) can anyone link me to the latest for each of the other loaders? I'm planning to expand my Devolution guide to include instructions for the other USB loaders but I want to familiarize myself with them first, thank you
Sorry this is a bit off topic but like I said, I know a lot of people here like the other loaders.
Downloads - cfg-loader-mod - Configurable USB Loader MOD - Google Project Hosting
The latest WiiFlow can be downloaded from Downloads - wiiflow - Open source Wii GUI USB Loader - Google Project Hosting
To my knowledge, these two, plus the latest GX, are the only three loaders that can use DM 2.6 (though, GX may be the only one that can disk swap, I don't own any dual-disk games, so I can't test that).
Not even the latest dmbooter is able to use 2.6, which I found odd. I wonder why that wasn't updated.
Ok, I need to test them for Devolution compatibility. Thank you for the linksOriginally Posted by llaffer
I'll see if I can test them for two disk game compatibility in my free time.

A 47-year-old man was killed on Monday after he fell from a cherry picker while cutting down a tree in Warrenville, according to the Aiken County Coroner's Office.
Joseph Benjamin Lord, of Gloverville, died at about 6 p.m. on Monday from traumatic internal injury, according to Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton.
Lord, an employee of Ennis Tree Service, was in the bucket of a cherry picker and cutting a tree at a home on Augusta Road at about 2:30 p.m. on Monday, Carlton said.
"He cut a piece of the trunk, and it fell back onto the bucket and knocked him and the bucket to the ground," Carlton said, adding that the bucket was between 35 and 50 feet off the ground when the incident happened.
Lord was transported to Georgia Regents Medical Center, where he died in surgery just after 6 p.m.
"He basically had some internal bleeding that they couldn't locate while he was in surgery, and he went into cardiac arrest," Carlton said.
A message left at Ennis Tree Service was not returned by press time on Tuesday. Carlton said it's not known if Lord was wearing proper safety gear.
"There were safety straps there, so we think he was wearing safety gear," he said.
Cheryl Padgett, the owner of the home where the incident happened, said lightning struck the tree during thunderstorms on June 9. The strike split part of the tree trunk.
"It just fell. It split," Padgett said, recalling the accident. "The tree split and it made him fall."
The truck remained in the front yard of Padgett's home on Tuesday, and in the backyard was the bucket, which had been broken off by the tree. On the ground next to the bucket was a wide "tie off" belt that Lord apparently wore in case he fell, Padgett said.
Padgett said they found out about Lord's death when they called his office on Tuesday to check on him.
"It's horrible for his family," she said. "I don't know what to say. He was just doing his job."
Cricket Skipper, a friend and former employer of Lord, remembered him as "a real nice guy" who provided for his common-law wife.
"He was church-going, he worked hard to provide for her," Skipper said. "He was loved by everybody that got to know him. He had a deep voice, but he was very soft-spoken. He worked hard and was a God-fearing man."
She recalled an eerie conversation she had with Lord recently.
"He was telling me he had to be more careful these days," she said. "I said, 'Why?' He said, 'One of the latches on one of the lifts don't catch, so you have to be careful.'
"I told him, you don't need to be up in something like that," she said.

Local pros offer tips to kids at Shorties U film workshopWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Wielding an array of tablets, smartphones and video cameras, 51 area students spent a morning learning some basic filmmaking skills from local experts.
The first session of Shorties U, a four-week workshop for fourth- through eighth-graders, was held Feb. 22 at Sylvania Northview High School. At the end of the day, the students were able to test some of their new skills at a surprise performance from "American Idol" contestant Keri Lynn Roche of Ann Arbor.
Shorties U is part of the second annual Tree City Film Festival, set for April 24-26 and organized by the Sylvania Community Arts Commission.
The idea behind the workshop is to introduce techniques that will help kids create their own three- to five-minute films to submit to the film fest's Shorties film challenge, said Tree City Film Festival committee member Jeremy Baumhower, who is organizing the Shorties and Shorties U events. Baumhower is also a columnist for Toledo Free Press.
"Last year we did the Shorties film challenge and when it was all done, I thought it was kind of unfair to ask kids to produce something that they may have never had an education in, so we took that and we filled the need," Baumhower said. "I wanted to create a four-week workshop where we can connect the kids with all kinds of people and ultimately inspire them to make a movie, but also just use their device in a little bit bigger fashion. Right now there are 50 kids who are super excited about something they were a part of and that's the goal."
Last year's inaugural Shorties challenge drew about 20 submissions, said Jennifer Archer, executive director of the Sylvania Community Arts Commission.
"We had a good response, but we saw there just wasn't a lot of depth to the content because of course they are kids, so we thought, 'Why not give the kids an opportunity to take it a little bit further and learn some of the things that are going to help them make a movie with a little more oompf to it?'" Archer said. "Our hope is that most of the kids who participate in this workshop will make a movie as a result of being involved in it and going through the learning process."
But beyond teaching technical skills, Archer said she hopes Shorties U will help kids gain confidence and inspire their creativity.
"I want to give kids the opportunity to see that there are different ways they can be creative," Archer said. "A kid who might be too shy to get up on stage and sing or dance in front of somebody, they can either be behind the camera and create and put their work out there or maybe they can be in front of the camera, but it's a safe way to show yourself to the world.
"I've never been able to draw or paint; I'm just not that type of creative," said Archer, whose mother was an art teacher and brother is an independent filmmaker. "There's not a lot of opportunity for kids to have this kind of chance to see that there's another side to it. It's just a different way to express yourself. I want to give kids a different way to soar."
Shorties U drew students from across the region, including Sylvania, Toledo, Perrysburg, Maumee and Michigan, Archer said.
The Feb. 22 presenters were Baumhower, Toledo Free Press design editor and film critic James A. Molnar, WTOL-11 reporter Ali Hoxie and MacCafe employee Julia Koralewski.
Baumhower led the students in creativity exercises to start brainstorming ideas for their films. Molnar had the students design posters for their favorite movies, thinking about art elements and taglines that would best draw in viewers. Hoxie covered how to decide what is most important when filming a news story. She gave groups of students a series of real-life news facts from the flooding incident that shut down the Anthony Wayne Trail earlier this month and had the students put the details in order of importance for a newscast. Koralewski, an art teacher at Sylvan Elementary School, covered basic tips and tricks for shooting videos, including lighting, composition, focus, perspective and planning shots. The students were given an assignment to shoot some photos and videos for practice editing them in the next session.
After the four sessions, organizers announced that there would be a surprise guest. "American Idol" season 13 contestant Keri Lynn Roche, an Ann Arbor native, sang for the kids as most of them filmed the performance.
"It's awesome," Roche said of Shorties U. "It's really cool to cultivate creativity into kids at this age because it's important. The most important part of my youth was music so just kind of implementing that and showing them how it can be more than just a song, that it can be therapeutic, it can be good brain food."
Kiri Thibert, 11, a fifth-grader at Maplewood Elementary in Sylvania, said her favorite class was the tips and technique class.
"We talked about how to hold a camera, how to focus, the lighting and zoom," Thibert said. "I learned not to have a person straight in the middle of the camera, but to have them at another angle."
Riley Murphy, 10, a fifth-grader at Highland Elementary in Sylvania, said she had a lot of fun.
"I learned how to create ideas about the stuff I love," said Murphy, who plans to submit a Shorties film that will be "a love story with a twist."
Emily Birmingham, 10, said her class at Sylvan Elementary School submitted a film to last year's Shorties challenge, but this year she plans to submit her own. The fifth-grader, whose favorite film genres are fantasy, horror and mystery, said she will direct and act in the film, that will be about "a ghost dog that comes back to haunt his previous owners because they mistreated him." The best piece of advice she learned from Shorties U so far was that it's best to film with a tripod.
Morgan Harrison, 13, a seventh-grader at Toledo School for the Arts, said he's not sure if he will submit a Shorties film, but wanted to take the workshop because he loves to make videos with his friends.
Grace Fite, 10, a fourth-grader at Woodland Elementary in Perrysburg, said she loves making videos and her favorite part of the day was filming Roche singing.
"There's always a filming device near me somewhere," Fite said. "I just like it because it's something I can do when I'm bored."
That's why her mom, Liz Fite, enrolled her in Shorties U.
"She's very creative and always filming something," she said. "I thought it would be something she would be interested in."
The next three Shorties U sessions will be held March 1, March 8 and March 15.
The Tree City Film Festival will include the Shorties on April 24; a screening of the Oscar-nominated shorts on April 25; and a screening of films created during the 50-hour film challenge on April 26.
The deadline to submit a three- to five-minute Shorties film is April 8. The challenge is open to students in kindergarten through 12th grade. There is no cost and filmmakers do not have to be enrolled in Shorties U to submit a film.
The 50-hour film challenge, to be held March 21-23, is open to high school, college and adult teams who must produce a film in 50 hours or less. Cost to participate is $25 for student teams or $35 for adult teams.

I had a build party today with a couple of friends. We worked on our .50 BMG builds. These things are massive!
They are pretty time consuming to build. since they are so big it takes a lot of time to prep the parts and there are a lot of holes to spot, drill and countersink.
We are doing the most of the rivets by hand, heating and beating, and there are about 38, plus another 16 to be done in the press.
We have about 2 more days work to finish them up., can't wait to range test them!!

These earrings are stunning; I love when there are subtle hints of the logo in her clothing and jewelry. Unfortunately, I ultimately sent these back because they are very heavy. I was in the market for a new "everyday" pair of earrings that I could wear all day and sleep in (if necessary), but after trying them on for a few minutes, my ear lobes started to sag and become uncomfortable.

Blogger has recently released a feature that lets you publicly subscribe to other blogs. Google calls this "following" and you can only follow blogs powered by Blogger, at least for now.
"Do you have a favorite blog and want to let the author and readers know that you are a fan? Well now you can do that and more with the Blogger Following feature," explains the help center.
Bloggers can add a widget that lists the people who follow a blog. Visitors can follow a blog from the widget and see their subscriptions in Blogger's dashboard or in Google Reader.
In most feed readers, subscribing to a feed is an anonymous action and the only public information is the total number of subscribers. The new Blogger feature indirectly adds public subscriptions to Google Reader.
Googler John Panzer has more details about the next steps:
"The Followers gadget lets you surf the network of people who read and interact with blogs. Just click on any of the followers and you'll go to their profile. For now, that profile is just their Blogger profile page with the blogs they own... but down the road, we'll also be integrated with Friend Connect. Which will open up this network further, in a couple of ways: A non-Blogger site can add a Friend Connect gadget to show the people following it; and you can filter the followers of a blog to show only the friends you already have on your favorite social network. Which you can view as extending your social network out into the blogosphere, or as the blogosphere incorporating all social networks -- take your pick. Of course all of this is based on OpenSocial, so anyone will be able to add gadgets and talk the OpenSocial protocol to access, with user permission, all of this network data and do new and interesting things on top of it. This represents a natural evolution of the loosely joined, standards-based pieces that have always characterized blogging."
The "followers" feature is not yet available for all Blogger users, but you can enable it by following a blog. The address is:
http://www.blogger.com/follow-blog.g?blogID=<BLOGID> (e.g: follow Google OS).
There are two options: follow the blog publicly and appear in the list of subscribers or subscribe anonymously. In both cases, the blog will appear in Blogger's dashboard and in a read-only Google Reader folder
that can be hidden in the settings.
Instead of building a social network like MyBlogLog, Google creates an application on top of other social networks. Incidentally, the application is first tested for blogger.com, but a future Google Reader API and the migration to OpenSocial/FriendConnect will make it look more interesting.

The line has also expanded to include a collection of pillows and ottomans made of the same dazzling rugs.
