Terry Kimball is born in Steamboat Springs.
Twenty-two years later, his brother Virgil will father Scott Kimball.
January 1st, 1966
After four years in the Navy, Terry Kimball spends most of his adulthood working odd jobs and traveling the country.
From 1962 to 1966, he served "in the communications division aboard United States Navy Ships operation in the Pacific theater," according to his resume.
He worked as an officer for the Colorado State Patrol from 1966 to 1970, then for the Longmont Fire Department until 1973.
He worked in a variety of jobs around the country after that, traveling around the South and West as a carpenter and truck driver.
Kimball had one daughter, Stephanie Pelster, who could not be reached for this project.
In 1993, he married Karen Johnson, who described him as a "happy-go-lucky person" who loved to work in the garden and cook elaborate meals.
September 21st, 1966
Scott Lee Kimball is born at Boulder Community Hospital to Virgil and Barb Kimball.
He would grow up in Old Town Lafayette, attending Lafayette Elementary and Lafayette Middle schools.
"He wasn't one of the popular kids," said Tina Goeden, 42, who went to elementary school with Kimball. "He was pretty quiet."
But police knew early on that Scott Kimball could be trouble.
Lafayette police Cmdr. Mark Battersby remembers responding to a call involving the adolescent Kimball within a few years of joining the force in 1976.
The boy had gotten a hold of one of his father's guns and was shooting out of his home, hitting other houses, Battersby said.
"I knew he was going to be a handful."
Kimball also attended Centaurus High School in 1981, but withdrew after one month and moved to Montana.
September 21st, 1976
Theodore Peyton, 41, a Lafayette neighbor of Kimball's grandmother, begins hanging out with 10-year-old Scott and another boy, inviting them to his cabin in Nederland.
Over a seven-year period, he plies the boys with booze, takes pictures of them naked and tied up, and forces oral and anal sex on them.
Peyton warns Scott not to tell, even brandishing a gun on one occasion and threatening to kill his father if he squealed.
(For database purposes, this post is dated Sept. 21, 1976, Scott Kimball's 10th birthday. It's unclear exactly when Peyton and Kimball met, but the boy was 10 at the time.)
October 1st, 1981
At the start of his freshman year, Scott Kimball moves to Hamilton, Mont., to live with his father and younger brother, Brett.

September 14th, 1983
Kaysi McLeod is born in Westminster, Colo., to Rob and Lori McLeod.
She would grow up to love jewelry-making, drawing, dancing and music, especially Sarah McLachlan, said her mother.
"She didn't ever talk back," Lori McLeod said. "I got very lucky."
But Kaysi tested her boundaries like any adolescent. She smoked, pierced her bellybutton, got tattoos — a four-leaf clover with the Virgo sign on her foot and a fairy on the small of her back.
Kaysi moved to Phoenix at age 15 because she needed some time away from her parents, who divorced when she was 6 and didn't agree on how to raise her, said her maternal aunt, Donna Harper.
"I gave her consistency," Harper said.
In Arizona, Kaysi worked at a skating rink in her spare time, even driving the Zamboni around the ice.
Tabetha Blow, her best friend there, said Kaysi had a "passion for life" but ended up falling in with a bad crowd.
June 20th, 1988
Scott Kimball lands his first felony conviction at age 21, after passing $1,139 in bad checks at motels in Beaverhead County, Mont.
His three-year prison sentence is deferred, meaning it will be dropped if he stays out of trouble.
October 4th, 1988
Scott Kimball gets his second felony, for passing a bad check in Missoula County, Mont.
He is given a two-year deferred prison sentence. Because the crime occurred in a different jurisdiction, it never triggers the deferred sentence Kimball had been given for his first felony just a few months earlier.
March 15th, 1989
Scott Kimball, 22, is convicted of his third felony, on one count of attempted theft in Broomfield, Colo.
He'd been arrested the previous October on charges of stealing a fishing pole, two rifles, a shotgun, golf clubs and tools from two Broomfield homes.
He is sentenced to one year of unsupervised probation and ordered to pay $232 in restitution.
October 1st, 1989
On a hunting trip with his brother in western Montana, Scott Kimball puts the barrel of a .30-30 rifle against his forehead and pulls the trigger.
The bullet, which glances off his skull, combines with the backblast from the shot to tear a hole in his forehead.
He remained in critical condition for several days and remains visibly scarred to this day.
Kimball's cousin Ed Coet says Kimball "was never the same" after the suicide attempt.
"It's like he lost his conscience," Coet said.
In the wake of the shooting, the truth about the sexual abuse he endured as a child emerges.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office investigates.
(Date is approximate.)
March 2nd, 1990
Theodore Peyton is arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting Scott Kimball and another male when they were young boys.
Most of the assaults took place at Peyton's Nederland cabin.

January 24th, 1991
Theodore Peyton is convicted of molesting Scott Kimball and another boy a decade earlier at his Nederland cabin.

"The effect of this defendant's behavior haunted them for years and still haunts them," the prosecutor says of the victims.
June 17th, 1991
Theodore Peyton is sentenced to seven years in prison for sexually assaulting Scott Kimball and another boy a decade earlier.
He would spend five years, three months and two weeks in prison before being released on Oct. 6, 1996.
Writing to a Boulder district judge considering a sentence reduction for Peyton in July 1992, Scott Kimball said the crimes "cost me and my family very dearly."
"Ted Peyton denied me my right to a normal, healthy innocent childhood," Kimball wrote. "Because of Ted Peyton's selfishness and his need for sexual gratification he has damaged my life forever."
Peyton, now 74, still lives in the Nederland cabin where he molested the boys in the early-1980s.
"That was a long time ago," Peyton said when asked recently about the abuse.
Turning slowly, he walked back up the driveway to his home on the northern shore of Barker Reservoir.

While Kimball largely managed to stay out of jail during the couple's four-year marriage, he constantly had people chasing him down who felt cheated by him, Hentz said.
"It was not uncommon to have a process server on our porch every other week serving us papers," she said. "He always had an excuse. It was never his fault."
Hentz claims that Kimball slept with prostitutes, pulled off brazen logging scams, and swindled money from her dentist and the bishops at her church.

Jennifer Marcum starts stripping at Shotgun Willie's, in Glendale, Colo.
A FoxNews television crew captures her first night, documenting her motivation and nervousness before taking the stage.
"I probably will cry, to be honest," she says. "It's a very scary feeling for me. I've always had manager jobs and (been) looked at as a very respectable person."
She hopes the job will provide her the financial security to pursue bigger dreams with the father of her son, introduced on TV as her husband although the two never legally married.
"I could probably make more in a week than he can in two, and I'd like to live in a house, and so I have higher goals," she tells the TV crew.
Jennifer's father, Bob Marcum, said his daughter worked as a stripper primarily to support her son. She kept the job until her death, but Mary Willis, Jennifer's mother, said she was anxious to get out at the end.
"She was wanting away from there real bad," Willis said.

Larissa Hentz calls police in Spokane, Wash., to report that Scott Kimball, her ex-husband, kidnapped her at gunpoint, raped her and forced her to drive to Montana with him and their sons.
Several witnesses, however, say nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary, and police do not pursue a rape case for lack of evidence.
The couple had continued seeing each other after their divorce, and Kimball tells police his ex probably made the complaint because he wanted to end the relationship.
Hentz tells a detective that if Kimball took a lie-detector test he would pass, because "he knows how to beat those things," according to a police report.
December 18th, 1999
Scott Kimball's ex-wife, Larissa Hentz, makes a second rape report against him.
She tells Spokane, Wash., police that he broke into her house with the help of a locksmith friend, pressed a gun to her head while she lay sleeping, and raped her repeatedly.

Behind bars at Denver County Jail, Scott Kimball tells his FBI handler, Carle Schlaff, that a drug dealer had strangled Jennifer Marcum, who'd been missing for four months.
Kimball had even seen pictures of her body — hands and legs bound, mouth taped shut — on the drug dealer's laptop, he says. In fact, the killer offered to pay Kimball to find Jennifer's corpse and remove her breast implants and IUD so the serial numbers couldn't be used to identify her remains.
Kimball tells Schlaff he can help catch the killer.
June 20th, 2003
After a polygraph test determines Kimball is being truthful about seeing photos of Jennifer Marcum dead on a drug dealer's computer, FBI Special Agent Carle Schlaff contacts prison officials in Washington state and requests that they quash their warrant for Kimball.

The frantic mother thought her new husband might be involved in the disappearance, but she also knew he worked for the FBI in some capacity and hoped he might help find Kaysi.

With snow in the forecast, the hunter ties a rope to a tree to mark his find, packs the skull carefully in his backpack, and continues his trek.
He calls 911 the next day, and the Jackson County coroner takes possession of the remains, thought to belong to a young woman.

Scott Kimball pleads guilty in federal court in Denver to one count of possessing a firearm as a felon. He is scheduled for sentencing five months later.
Nagged by a $17.95 grocery store receipt found in Scott Kimball's possessions, FBI Special Agent Jonathan Grusing decides to take a closer look around Walden, Colo.
The receipt — dated Aug. 24, 2003, one day after the disappearance of Kaysi McLeod. — came from the North Park Supers store in the tiny northern Colorado mountain town.
Scott Kimball, who said he was alone in the mountains the day Kaysi disappeared, had later told Grusing that she might have overdosed on drugs somewhere on national forest land.
Grusing calls the Routt National Forest district office in Walden to ask for a map of the area, and a receptionist tells him it costs $8.
In no mood to fill out an expense sheet, Grusing asks to talk to someone higher up the chain of command.
He tells supervisor Sue Yeager he's with the FBI and is searching for human remains. She says she'll get some maps out right away.
Then, almost as an afterthought, she tells him to talk to the coroner. A skull, likely belonging to a young female, had been discovered by a hunter six months earlier in a remote area southwest of town.
"When she told me that, I pretty much knew it was Kaysi," Grusing recalls.
An initial DNA analysis 2 1/2 weeks later will point to the same conclusion.

In exchange, prosecutors draw up a memorandum of understanding in the missing-persons case. If he will lead investigators to the bodies of Jennifer Marcum, LeAnn Emry and Terry Kimball, he will only face a single count of second-degree murder.
They will otherwise pursue a first-degree murder conviction, punishable by life in prison without parole or the death penalty. But that will be difficult with only one set of remains — Kaysi McLeod's — that show no evidence of the cause or manner of death.
For prosecutors Amy Okubo and Katharina Booth, the deal represents their only chance of finding the missing victims.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't do that without his help," Booth said. "It was a deal with the devil."
January 27th, 2009
Scott Kimball draws authorities a detailed map to the spot near Vail Pass where he left his uncle Terry Kimball's body. But a search will have to be postponed until the snow melts in the high country.
Kimball later tells FBI Special Agent Jonathan Grusing that Uncle Terry's body — stashed in the woods in his clothing, tennis shoes and eyeglasses — is wrapped in a grey tarp bound by about 100 feet of nylon rope.
February 23rd, 2009
Scott Kimball leads investigators and FBI agents on a hunt for bodies in eastern Utah, where he claims LeAnn Emry and Jennifer Marcum are buried.
Kimball and investigators pore over computer-generated maps and satellite photos in an effort to narrow down the search field. No remains are found.
March 11th, 2009
During a second hunt for bodies, Scott Kimball leads investigators to a wash in Bryson Canyon.
FBI Special Agent Jonathan Grusing is the first to find a bone and then additional remains. They are later determined to be LeAnn Emry's, based on DNA from her parents, Darlene and Howard Emry.
Boulder County prosecutor Katharina Booth said coming upon Emry's bones was extremely emotional and moving.
A fragment of a brass-jacketed bullet is found the next day in the area where LeAnn's skull would have been located when she was killed.
In a separate search for Jennifer Marcum's remains, which Kimball insists are nearby, nothing is found.
Amy Okubo, also a chief deputy with the Boulder County District Attorney's Office, said Kimball knows exactly where Marcum is and was simply "messing with us."
April 21st, 2009
Scott Kimball participates in a third search for bodies, insisting that Jennifer Marcum is buried in the same area of eastern Utah that LeAnn Emry's remains had been found the previous month.
But no new discoveries are made, and Kimball tells the FBI that Jennifer may be buried as far as 60 miles away from the site being searched.
Jennifer's body has still never been found.
Investigators suspect that Kimball may be hanging on to the information as leverage, as a way of extracting something of value from someone somewhere down the road.
"If he thought giving up Jennifer's remains would benefit him, he would say where they are," FBI Special Agent Jonathan Grusing said.
Kimball says the FBI won't provide him the resources to find Jennifer.
"From day one I told the FBI that finding Jennifer would be the hardest to find," he wrote in response to questions from the Camera. "I'm willing to keep looking."
May 11th, 2009
Without Jennifer Marcum's body, Boulder County prosecutors revoke their deal with Kimball.
In a December 2008 "memorandum of understanding," Kimball had agreed to lead investigators to the bodies of LeAnn Emry, Jennifer Marcum and Terry Kimball. In return, he would face only one count of second-degree murder.
In a letter to Kimball's public defenders, Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett writes that Kimball is considered "in breach" of the deal.

A fragment from a brass-jacketed bullet found near LeAnn Emry's remains in Utah's Bryson Canyon is determined to be consistent with the .40-caliber Firestar handgun Scott Kimball owned.
The bullet fragment is found right where Emry's skull would have been located, according to authorities.
June 1st, 2009
Bloodstains found the previous summer in the carpet of Scott Kimball's former Adams County homes test positive as a match for his "Uncle Terry," based on a DNA sample from Terry Kimball's daughter.
June 4th, 2009
Lafayette optometrist Cleve Armstrong, who had been a Kimball family friend, succumbs to cancer.
Scott Kimball's attempt to steal tens of thousands of dollars from Armstrong four years earlier led to an investigation that eventually brought Kimball to justice.
June 11th, 2009
Scott Kimball is sentenced in federal court in Denver to 70 months in prison for possessing a firearm as a felon.
June 29th, 2009
With the snow melted in Colorado's high country, a search party follows a map drawn by Scott Kimball to a logging road near Vail Pass.
There, Lafayette police Detective Gary Thatcher finds Terry Kimball's body wrapped in a gray tarp. He appears to have been shot through the head.
A bullet fragment found at the scene is later found to be consistent with Scott Kimball's .40-caliber Firestar handgun.
Scott Kimball pleads guilty to two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of LeAnn Emry, Jennifer Marcum, Kaysi McLeod and Terry Kimball, and is sentenced to 70 years in prison.
In an emotional hearing at the Boulder County Justice Center, the victims' families finally have a chance to face the man who killed their loved ones.
LeAnn Emry's mother said her daughter was "no more important to him than the carcass of a dead animal."
"He made the deliberate choice to murder, and he made that choice at least four times," Darlene Emry said through tears.

Scott Kimball is sent to Sterling Correctional Facility to start serving his 70-year prison term.
He could first be eligible for parole in 38.5 years, at age 81, according to the Colorado Department of Corrections.
"I won't spend the rest of my life in prison, " Kimball later told the Camera through his cousin. (See story.)
Those are the desperate words of a man with nothing left to do but "sit in prison and rationalize his sentence and minimize his crimes," Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett responded.
Garnett said he's confident Kimball will die in prison.
January 15th, 2010
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Denver upholds Scott Kimball's 70-month prison sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Kimball had challenged the June 11, 2009, sentence, claiming that his ownership of a rifle was legal under the "sporting exception" in federal law because he used the weapon to ward off coyotes targeting his cattle on his Adams County property.
But the appeals court found that Kimball had lied during his testimony at the sentencing hearing and that the evidence indicated he wasn't using the rifle solely for sporting purposes.
February 9th, 2010
LeAnn Emry's family holds her memorial service at Payette Church of the Nazarene in Payette, Idaho, just a few weeks before getting her remains back from the FBI.
Howard Emry remembers his daughter as a smart student who loved animals.
He says LeAnn's murder "taught me the lesson of forgiveness."
"I still have moments of sadness for what happened to LeAnn because I will always miss her, but God has given me the strength to forgive the man who caused this grief," he says.
February 26th, 2010
In a search of Scott Kimball's cell in the Sterling Correctional Facility, an FBI agent finds several fraudulent documents.
Claiming that Kimball used discovery from his own case to create the fake FBI papers from behind bars, Boulder County prosecutor Katharina Booth files a motion trying to prevent Kimball from accessing anymore hard-copy files.
She contends Kimball disseminated the doctored reports to the media in an effort to show that other people were involved in the deaths of his four victims.
The Camera received several of Kimball's bogus documents in late 2009. One had the plural header "Federal Bureau of Investigations." It featured a February 2006 interview with Steve Ennis at the federal prison in Beaumont, Texas. However, U.S. Bureau of Prisons officials said Ennis was never housed at the Beaumont facility. FBI Special Agent Jonny Grusing, who purportedly conducted the interview, was still nine months away from being assigned to the case.
March 1st, 2010
In his first televised interview from prison, Scott Kimball tells Fox 31 News in Denver that he's not a traditional serial killer, and there were reasons for every murder.
"I'm a cleaner," he says. "I clean up somebody else's mess. I make bad situations go away."
He hints that he was involved in a vast criminal conspiracy that led to his victims' deaths — a theory debunked by investigators — but insists he's still a good person.
"Even a good guy can have a bad side," he says. "We all make choices. I chose to be an outlaw."
His only regret: "That I let my kids down."
March 13th, 2010
Kaysi McLeod is laid to rest in Wheat Ridge, 6 1/2 years after Scott Kimball murdered her, and a few weeks after the FBI returned her remains to her family.
About 200 friends and well-wishers — including Howard Emry and Bob Marcum, whose daughters Kimball also killed — attend a memorial service at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. Kaysi's divorced parents, Lori and Rob McLeod, walk down the aisle together as their 19-year-old daughter's flower-draped casket is wheeled toward the altar.
"Life was not always easy, but her glass was always half full," says Mike Harmon, a Baptist pastor and Lori McLeod's half-brother. "She knew the Lord. She's with him today."
Then, the congregation gathers graveside in Crown Hill Cemetery as Kaysi is placed in the ground.
March 29th, 2010
Ted Peyton, who was convicted of sexually abusing Scott Kimball in the 1970s and 1980s, registers with Boulder County as a sex offender after concerned mothers in Nederland contact the Sheriff's Office about the fact that he is not registered.
Cmdr. Rick Brough, with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, said he wasn't certain why Peyton wasn't made to register in 1996, when he finished his prison sentence in the sex abuse case.
"I'm thinking that when he was released, a lot of the rules that are in place now weren't in place then," Brough said. "That's why he slipped through. Things have tightened up over the years."
April 24th, 2010
August 14th, 2010
The Denver Post reported that Scott Kimball is a potential suspect in "several" unsolved disappearances.
The FBI disclosed the fact that investigators are looking at specific cases after the paper tried to obtain a memorandum dissecting the bureau's handling of Kimball as an informant. The bureau refused to release the internal report.
Several law enforcement sources had told the Camera they believed Kimball was likely involved in other missing-persons cases, but they did not confirm that any investigations were ongoing.
September 29th, 2010
An advance copy of a book written by Scott Kimball's cousin, Ed Coet, includes an excerpt of a jailhouse interview that appears to directly tie Kimball to the brutal 2004 murder of a woman whose dismembered body was dumped in Westminster.
Catrina Renee Powell, who was last seen alive on East Colfax Avenue in Denver on Oct. 24, 2004, was found dead the next day behind a strip mall at 7530 Sheridan Blvd. in Westminster.
Her hands had been cut off, and she had severe head injuries.
An autopsy report from the Adams County Coroner's Office, which became public in September 2010, revealed that Powell had chemical burns on her body and that her cause of death included strangulation. Prior to the autopsy report becoming public, investigators working on the case hadn't disclosed the existence of chemical burns and hadn't revealed the exact cause of her death.
Kimball's account comes from a May 2009 interview that FBI Special Agent Jonathan Grusing conducted with an inmate who was housed with Kimball in Park County, according to the book.Powell's sister-in-law, Dachelle Powell, confirms to the Camera that investigators have told her Kimball is being investigated for the murder.
The FBI refuses to comment.
October 16th, 2010
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office says it will begin looking into whether Kimball played a role in the unsolved murder of a 7-year-old girl whose body was found near Nederland's Barker Reservoir in 1984.
Sheriff Joe Pelle said his department never had reason to suspect Kimball in the murder of Tracy Marie Neef, who vanished after her mother dropped her off at school in Thornton on March 16, 1984. Her body was found later that day in a grassy area about a quarter-mile west of Barker Dam.
A report from Fox 31 News, stating that Kimball had told his cousin that he helped bury the body of a girl near Nederland, prompted him to see if there's a connection between Neef's murder and Kimball.
The FBI declines to comment.
Kimball, who would have been 17 at the time Neef was abducted and killed, was living with his father and attending high school in Hamilton, Mont. But he regularly traveled back to Colorado to visit his mother.
It's not clear if he was in the state the day Neef was murdered. However, Kimball had spent a lot of time with a Ted Peyton, who owned a cabin on the shore of Barker Reservoir not far from where Neef's body was found. Peyton was later convicted of sexually assaulting Kimball and served six years in prison for the crime.
At least one detail from Kimball's alleged account doesn't match the facts of the case — Neef wasn't found buried but rather lying on her side, clothed in her jeans and T-shirt.
October 21st, 2010
Investigators who have been looking into the unsolved murder of Seattle federal prosecutor Tom Wales for nine years — a case for which Scott Kimball had once been an informant — turn their attention to Kimball himself as a possible suspect.
An anonymous law enforcement source tells the Camera that Kimball is under investigation in the Oct. 11, 2001 murder, in which someone standing in Wales' backyard in Seattle fatally shot him through his basement window.
This becomes the fourth known cold case into which authorities are looking that involves Kimball as a possible suspect.
A timeline the Camera assembled of Kimball's whereabouts in the latter part of 2001 is incomplete, but shows that he spent time in Seattle around the time Wales was killed.
An arrest report from Nov. 7, 2001, shows that Kimball was picked up by Cordova, Alaska, police on suspicion of forging thousands of dollars of checks in his brother's name. The report states that Kimball had opened a Wells Fargo bank account in Seattle into which he attempted to cash bogus checks that appeared to come from his employer, a Seattle-based fishing company.
Investigators also reported that Kimball admitted he had "hypothetically" purchased blank check stock at an Office Depot in Seattle before his arrest.
In a book about Kimball, titled "SLK: Serial Killer," his cousin Ed Coet wrote that Kimball spent a period of time in Seattle recuperating from an injury he sustained on a fishing boat.
Coet wrote that Kimball's mother, Barb, visited her son in Seattle and stayed with him in a hotel as he recovered from his fishing injury. She doesn't recall the exact dates she was there, Coet said Thursday, but she remembered that it was fall of 2001.
Kimball told Coet that after he was arrested in Alaska in early November 2001, he used information about the Wales murder to play the FBI. Gleaning whatever information he could about the case off the Internet, he convinced authorities that he had overheard a couple of inmates talking about Wales. He said solving the murder of a federal prosecutor was a top priority for the FBI and they listened eagerly to what he had to say.
The most significant clue the FBI has gotten on the Wales murder case over the last decade came in 2006, when the bureau's office in Seattle received an anonymous letter from the purported killer. The writer said a woman had hired him to shoot Wales and that he took the job because he was broke.
The letter was sent from Las Vegas and was postmarked Jan. 23, 2006. Kimball had left Lafayette about a week earlier, when he realized authorities were going to launch an investigation into a massive check fraud scam he had committed. He was bound for southern California, but it's unclear whether he stopped in Las Vegas on the way.
When Coet asked his cousin if he had killed Wales, Kimball denied it.
"If I did, do you think I'd tell you?" Kimball is quoted in Coet's book. "You don't just go to jail for killing a federal prosecutor. You get executed for that sort of thing. But if anybody ever asks you, my answer is no."

The Thoroughbred Adoption Network website services all eligible Thoroughbred adoption organizations. If you are interested in adopting a horse that is listed by an organization other than the TRF, please refer to the Adoption policies and applications of the organization listing that horse on our "Participating Organizations" page.
The TRF tries to make the adoption process as easy and as inexpensive as possible, yet must take necessary precautions to make sure that the horse in question will be turned over to a suitable, caring home. To start the process for a TRF horse, fill out an application (PDF), which you can acquire by clicking here and e-mailing it back to us. We require references, as well as some personal information on the applicant. Once the form has been received, a TRF employee or volunteer may visit your farm or the place where you plan to board the horse to make sure the facilities are adequate. You must have secured stabling arrangements before an adoption can be finalized.
Upon approval of the adoption application, we will look for a horse that best suits your needs and desires. While we normally have a number of horses available for adoption, we take great pains to find the right horse for you. The process may take a month or longer.
The tax-deductible adoption fee, which is non-refundable, can run from a low of $500 to a high of $5,000. While all horses are priceless to us, we try to base the fee on the condition and potential of the horse. For instance, a young, healthy horse who may turn into an outstanding dressage prospect would require a larger donation fee than an older, infirm horse who can be little more than a pasture pet.
After the adoption has been completed, the TRF will require that your veterinarian report to us yearly concerning the horse's condition and vaccination history. We will also require that you notify us if you and/or the horse has moved. You cannot sell or transfer your horse without prior approval of the TRF. Our herd manager, Sara Davenport, (859) 519-8355 will be glad to answer any other questions you may have.

Thanks, that's what I was wondering, the reference was great.
For the completeness of the thread and archive posterity, the solution when
using MIT Kerberos (unsure of heimdal or shishi) was to add an "rdns = no"
entry to the [libdefaults] section of the krb5.conf file. I've posted a
message to the MIT Kerberos mailing list to see if this can be done on a
finer granularity but haven't heard yet.
Thanks again.

Backyard Orchard News
Bacterial canker and blast damage appearing.
Prunes are just past petal fall, but I've been shown several examples of bacterial canker and/or blast in the last week (see pictures below).
These symptoms are caused by infections of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringe, a common bacteria found throughout orchards. Particularly in years with cold wet winters/springs, the bacteria enter prune trees -- and other stone fruit and almonds -- damaging scaffolds (bacterial canker) and buds (bacterial blast). The bacterial blast generally is not a major economic issue for growers. However, canker can spread rapidly and kill trees from the top down. Strangely enough, the rootstock is not affected by the bacteria, and damaged trees often show vigorous sucker growth.
Once the symptoms appear, there is little to be done. Don't remove damaged trees when symptoms first show. The trees may recover.
Bacterial canker is associated with:
- Soil related stress such as acid soils, shallow soils over hardpan, or coarse texture (sandy) soils with nematode (specifically ring nematode) pressure. The bacteria don't enter the plant through the soil – at least they don't harm the rootstock, but soil stresses predispose the tree to above ground infection.
- Low soil nitrogen availability
- Pruning during wet, cool weather.
- Rootstock selection. M2624 is most sensitive to bacterial canker, although M29C is susceptible as well. M40 is reported to be the rootstock that is least susceptible to bacterial canker.
What can be done to avoid bacterial canker?
- Avoid soil stresses listed above, wherever possible.
- Spot fumigate to control nematodes in coarse texture (sandy) soils
- Maintain adequate soil nitrogen levels
- Prune in late summer/early fall or late spring
- Plant on M40 rootstock
Also, Jack Dibble, retired UCCE entomology specialist, told me that, in his experience, trees with bacterial canker pressure showed dormant oil burn more readily than trees not under pressure from bacterial canker. If your block is at risk from bacterial canker (sandy soils, low N levels, nematodes, etc.), consider avoiding high dormant oil rates.

Welcome To Slapped Cheek
We aim to provide information about the condition called "Slapped Cheek Syndrome" - sometimes referred to "slap cheek" or the "fifth disease". It is so called because when a person is infected their cheeks appear slapped and are red like a rash.
The Dangers of Slapped Cheek Virus & Pregnancy
Because slap cheek symptoms are just like any other cold type virus you may not be aware of the dangers during pregnancy.
Why Dangers For Pregnant Women ?
During the first 20 weeks of pregnancy the virus can cause miscarriage if a pregnant woman is a) exposed to the virus and b) contracts the virus. Also during this time, the virus can also cause a rare condition known as foetal hydrops, which can cause congestive heart failure, a severe form of oedema (swelling of body tissues due to excessive fluid) due to severe anaemia.
The Slapped Cheek Virus
Slapped cheek is actually the Parvovirus B19 that only affects humans (although there is a similar animal version but they can not be passed between animals and humans and vice versa) . But like all viruses can pass from one human to another through the air, in saliva or through close contact and can not be treated with antibiotics. The best treatment is to rest.
The incubation period for parvovirus B19 is between one and three weeks and the person will be infectious for about a week before the illness actually becomes apparent. By the time symptoms are present, the person is no longer infectious.

Merchandise for upcoming tentpole releases
Avatar (Fox)
James Cameron's first feature since "Titanic," this 3-D sci-fi epic is "sure to reset what's possible in entertainment, from a film-experience perspective but also from a merchandise and licensing perspective," says Elie Dekel, Fox's exec VP licensing and merchandising. It also marks "the largest commitment the studio has ever made to a motion picture," Dekel notes. Set for a mid-December 2009 release, "Avatar's' licensing program will be highlighted by a Ubisoft vidgame.
High School Musical 3 (Disney)
From apparel to electronics, "HSM" took retail by storm — and initially, by surprise. For "HSM3," the franchise's first theatrical release, due out this fall, an extensive licensing program continues the studio's "whole new approach to the tween demo," says Jessi Dunne, exec VP of global licensing for Disney Consumer Products. Merchandise includes everything for complete "High School Musical" immersion, from fragrances and party supplies to TVs, MP3 players, vidgames and even dried-fruit snacks.
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (DreamWorks Animation)
For the second installment of DreamWorks Animation's "Madagascar" property, "we'll build on the success of our last program," says Kerry Phelan, head of worldwide consumer products. Initial efforts included dozens of licensing partners and a top-selling vidgame by Activision. The follow-up program — launching with the film in November — will feature another videogame, as well as toys, apparel and home decor.
Star Trek XI (CBS)
CBS has revealed few details of its J.J. Abrams-helmed "Star Trek XI" merchandise program, but — similar to the film itself — early efforts suggest that generating interest beyond a core Trekker fanbase is a key initiative. Materializing at retail in spring 2009, the first phase of new Star Trek consumer products by Playmates Toys will include action figures, collectibles and role-play toys, many with interactive electronic features.
The Pink Panther 2 (MGM)
The second installment of MGM's Steve Martin vehicle will include a "robust" classic licensing program, says Travis Rutherford, exec VP of MGM consumer products. On top of that, the February release will be the driving force behind "Pinkitude," a charitable partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Not only have "we got a natural connection, with the character being pink," Rutherford explains, but the campaign "opened up a whole new avenue of licensees that we've never had access to."
Transformers 2 (Hasbro)
"More than meets the eye": That's the position the "Transformers" brand team takes with all its licensees, says Lisa Licht, g.m. of Hasbro's entertainment and licensing division. From apparel to publishing to games, Hasbro expects "to really expand those programs" for the sequel's release in June 2009 — as well as incorporate mobile and online initiatives "to meet the consumers' desire to enjoy our brands anytime, anywhere."
Where the Wild Things Are (Warner Bros.)
The fall 2009 release of the live-action version of Maurice Sendak's bestselling picture book will feature a broad licensing campaign "that may not be as expansive as 'Batman' or 'Superman,' but it's a nice program," says Warner Bros. consumer products topper Brad Globe. And because Warner controls the classic, based-on-the-book property as well, the film will be complemented by an assortment of product based on both the movie and its original inspiration.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Marvel)
While past X-Men movies have been all about the heroes collectively, for the first time Marvel is focusing primarily on one: Wolverine. To complement the May 2009 release, an extensive licensing program will include an Activision vidgame, a softline program and "a pretty massive line" of Hasbro product, says Marvel's president of consumer products North America, Paul Gitter. That will be supplemented by Wolverine Extreme, an "edgy, urban" brand targeting teens and adults.
