Style: 28950491 Color Code:
Distressed leather tall boot with darker edges. Lace-up detailing at upper calf. Short zipper on the inner sides. Stacked wood heel. Leather sole. *By Bed Stu
Bed Stu
Be ware of the finish!!
While I absolutely LOVE Bed Stu and own several pairs, these were some of the worst boots I've received. After seeing a friend with them, I expressed how much I loved them. My mother ended up and surprised me with the Teak Glaze color. Boy was that a mistake. After one wear, the finish started peeling. And it wasn't even just to add to the intended distressed look Bed Stu is known for. Literal chunks started coming off the boots, revealing the under part of the leather. I was so bummed. I am sure these are fantastic boots if you are one of the lucky few to not experience the peeling. The leather itself was beautiful and they felt very well made, but sadly I only got one wear out of the boots. They're now sitting in my closet unworn. If you're going to invest in some Bed Stu's, go for a different style.
Hi Sophschultz, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with these boots! Someone from our team will be in touch with you! -Free People
After being on the fence with these I finally purchased online. I am usually a 9.5 but sized up because I'm usually a 41 free people. Bad idea. I have like an inch in them. They are definitely true to size with some run. There Leather so they get worn in a little. Beware. They are lovely though. And the softest leather. I just love them.
These boots joined my closet after a long consideration and adoration; it turned out to be one of the best decisions! I have them in black lux which look darker in real life compared to the pictures. They still have the rustic wash, and go well with skirts or pants. It took no breaking in. The leather on the leg part is very soft but contours well around calves. The feet part is solid and is durable for all day wear. I am 5'4", 113lbs, and the boots come up to right underneath my knees.
I have been eyeing these boots for a year and when I finally decided to take the plunge and buy them in the, "natural" color. They came in the mail and are beautifully crafted but they are so dirty. Black marks and dirty stains all over them as if they have been worn before. I'm so sad to give 1 star :(
Hi abrison, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with these boots! Someone will be in touch with you! -Free People
These boots are everything. I had an issue with the first pair ordered because of the "glazed teak" cracking and Bed Stu was more than accommodating to replace the boots for me with the original "rustic teak". I wear them all the time. I will say that they run abnormally large yet narrow. I'm a 9.5 in boots and ordered these in an 8.5. They were so narrow when i first wore them that i couldn't wait to get them off at the end of the day. Now that they're broken in they're very comfortable. I will definitely be buying these in another color!
Buyer Beware!
These boots arrived scuffed with black marks all over them! They were also the wrong color. They are a dull grey, and not tan like the photo. I am very sad because I believed I was getting the boots like the photo. I am returning them today!
I have these, a pair of manchester tall boots (the regular ones) and these are my favorite Bed Stu shoes out of my 4 pair (one pair are bootie type boots and a pair of wedges) sizes run weird, I have these in a 7, another manchester tall in 8.5 and Brudges in 8.5, and Petra in a 9. They're VERY comfortable. Bed Stu makes GREAT quality shoes I bought them at a local boutique along with a Liberty Black Boots and I love them

Magnetic Resonance-Guided High-Dose Brachytherapy (Short-Range Radiation Therapy) for Prostate Cancer

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for guiding placement of hollow needles into the prostate gland for delivering internal radiation therapy to patients with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is often treated with a combination of external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy (internal radiation delivered close to the tumor). This study will determine whether MRI is more accurate in guiding needle placement than ultrasound, which is currently used for this purpose. Patients will have one brachytherapy treatment followed by 5 weeks of external beam treatments and a second brachytherapy.
Patients 18 years of age and older with prostate cancer that has not spread to the bone may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a physical examination, blood and urine tests, and a bone scan.
To plan for radiation therapy, patients will have standard computed tomography (CT) and MRI scans of the pelvis and prostate. In addition, CT and MRI scans will be done to determine if the prostate is in a good position for brachytherapy. For these scans, patients will have an enema and a tube will be placed in the rectum. They will then lie still on their side for about 45 minutes during the scan. Patients who have blood in their urine will also undergo cystoscopy. This is an examination of the bladder using a small camera that is advanced through the penis into the bladder.
Patients are given an antibiotic for 2 days before the brachytherapy and on the morning of the procedure. Before the test, they have a small enema and are given medicines through the vein and into the spine for relaxation and to decrease any discomfort. (The test is done under general anesthesia for patients who require it.) The patient is moved on a stretcher into the MRI scanner and a catheter is inserted into the bladder through the penis. The bladder is filled with water and a tube is placed in the rectum. With the help of a plastic guide placed against the skin, about 14 to 18 needles are then placed in the prostate. Some stitches are sewn to hold the needles and the guide in place, and the tube in the rectum is removed. The patient is the transferred from the MR scanner into the CT scanner, where the rectal tube is reinserted and the needles are adjusted. A cystoscopy is done to make sure the needles do not enter the bladder. When the needles are adjusted, the tube is removed from the rectum and the patient is moved to the radiation oncology clinic.
After a few hours, when the radiation dose has been calculated, a radioactive substance called iridium is administered. The needles placed in the prostate are connected to a radiation machine, and thin wires with radioactive material on the tips are inserted into each needle and withdrawn a little at a time. The process takes about 20 to 30 minutes. The patient is then disconnected from the machine and undergoes another MRI scan to confirm the position of the needles. The needles and catheter are then removed and the patient is monitored for a while before going home. Patients then have 5 weeks of external beam therapy, followed by a second brachytherapy treatment.
Patients return to the clinic at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months after treatment for blood tests, physical examination, and review of symptoms.

That would mean there's no gravity, and again the question becomes flawed.
Also, it doesn't resolve the conceptual paradox of "lift it from where?" For it to be "lifted" from somewhere, that something would actually have to be even larger and heavier than the "rock" (because else the situation would be inverted).
The question thus is equivalent to: "Can God make something exist that cannot exist?" Hence it's equivalent to "can God break logical absolutes?"

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Freedom in Motion: Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi outlines vision for Burma in Kennedy School talk
After nearly two decades under house arrest at the hands of Burma's military regime, pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi — now a member of the burgeoning democratic nation's parliament — is in the midst of a long-awaited visit to the United States. At Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) on Thursday, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and international icon outlined her first goal for her country's future: educating Burma's people in how "to be citizens of a free society."
"We have just started on the road toward shaping our country into the kind of nation that we want it to be," Suu Kyi told a packed hall. "We want to start out by creating a responsible society. … Freedom and responsibility are different sides of the same coin."
In 2010, Suu Kyi was released from house arrest, where she had spent 15 of the previous 21 years imprisoned as a result of a crackdown on the country's 1988 mass demonstrations. Earlier this year, she was elected to the lower house of the Burmese Parliament, and now serves as chair of her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD).
"Despite imprisonment and intimidation, confinement and surveillance, she has stood always for nonviolent opposition, for unity in the face of adversity, for lasting freedom from, in her own words, 'the enervating miasma of fear,'" said Harvard President Drew Faust, who introduced Suu Kyi. Throughout her time in the international spotlight, Faust added, Suu Kyi has displayed "a serene tenacity that continues to be a defining feature of her leadership."
That commanding presence was on full display at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum, where a rapt crowd gathered to hear Suu Kyi deliver the 2012 Edwin L. Godkin Lecture, the most prestigious endowed lectureship at HKS. In her talk, she detailed the next steps for Burma, where many citizens have no experience of democracy.
"When you've lived under a regime for so long, you do not know what it's like to live in a free society," she said. "The best way to be a truly responsible citizen in a free society is to act as though you are already a free citizen in a free society.
"You cannot wait for everything to be done for you," she continued. "We have had to teach our people in a very practical way" to take responsibility for their actions and choices, she said.
That process began with the 2012 by-elections, where the NLD ultimately won 43 of 44 contested seats. Suu Kyi and the NLD had just six weeks to campaign and to educate distrustful and fearful voters in mostly rural districts.
"We took a simple message to our people," she said. Surprisingly, turnout reached 70 percent. "They had learned the lesson very well that they had to take part in the voting process if they wished to be considered responsible citizens."

Survivor: Nicaragua
Exclusive: Ben "Benry" Henry talks about 'Survivor: Nicaragua'
By Reality TV World staff, 12/09/2010
Ben "Benry" Henry thought he'd managed to extend his
: Nicaragua stay by turning on ally Jud "Fabio" Birza.
However, the last laugh ended up being Benry when the castaways he thought he'd joined with -- Chase Rice, Holly Hoffman, Jane Bright and Matthew "Sash" Lenahan -- voted him off instead, making him the fourteenth castaway eliminated from
: Nicaragua during Wednesday night's broadcast of the 21st edition of the CBS reality competition.
On Thursday, Benry talked to Reality TV World about his
: Nicaragua experience.
Reality TV World: Based on what was shown on last night's episode, it looked like you were completely blindsided by your vote-off, was that actually the case?
Ben "Benry" Henry:
Absolutely. When I went into Tribal Council I had absolutely no idea I was going home -- completely blindsided. I was pretty complacent and sure of the fact that [Jud "Fabio" Birza] was going home, and I thought it was going to be a mutual consensus.
Reality TV World: How had you seen the rest of the game playing out after Fabio was voted off? When you were talking to [Chase Rice], [Holly Hoffman] and [Matthew "Sash" Lenahan] you mentioned wanting to make it "one more Tribal Council," but I'm assuming you actually still...
Ben "Benry" Henry:
I knew -- I knew I was cornered and unfortunately that's why I resorted to turning on Fabio and sort of stabbing him in the back. He's still my boy -- it's a dirty game -- but I was looking out for No. 1. And anything I could do to further myself one more night, one more Tribal Council -- at the time I had really thought that I could trust Chase and that Chase and I had this mutual trust.
And Holly had always said how I furthered her in the game with the tribe switch and she would have been the next to go home, so she -- I felt like I sort of had Chase and Holly in my back pocket. So I felt that by sending Fabio home and breaking up my alliance as long as it lasted me one more day in the game.
I sort of -- and then it would have been even numbers. It would have been six and I could have sort of maybe easily weaseled my way back into an alliance with Chase and Holly knowing that -- everybody knowing that -- [Jane Bright]'s dangerous to sit next to in the final three, and so I could have maneuvered something and it was very possible that I could have won individual immunity.
So really, if I could have just gotten through one more Tribal, I was just going to rely on winning individual immunity my way out or sort of weasel my way into a new alliance.
Reality TV World: Why do you think they decided to vote you off instead of Fabio -- do you think wanting to drive a wedge between the surviving members of your alliance and make Fabio distrust [Dan Lembo] played any role, or do you think it was just...
Ben "Benry" Henry:
I think they knew that Dan and I were closer than Dan and Fabio. I think they sort of set us side by side and looked at -- compared stats if you will -- and saw me I guess maybe more physically as a threat. I had won more challenges, I had produced more in challenges, and sitting next to me in the final three could be dangerous because I really hadn't made one enemy in the jury besides [Alina Wilson], really.
So I probably -- and she didn't even know [unintelligible] at the time, by the way, is what I'm referring to. -- I probably would have gotten several votes sitting in the top three and I think they knew that.
And I also think that they looked Fabio and I and they thought that I was a little more aware of what was going on in the game and then more intelligent, maybe, and they thought that Fabio was sort of just putzing around and they could get rid of him next. So I think in all that they saw me as more of a threat physically in challenges and winning my way to the final three than Fabio.
Reality TV World: You told Chase you were fine with the idea of voting Fabio off next pretty much as soon as he returned from the reward trip with Holly and Jane. Were you being truthful at that point, or did you still feel Sash was with you guys at that point and you were just trying to string Chase along?
Ben "Benry" Henry:
I was just trying to string Chase along and see what he would say and just let him know that I'm going to be loyal to him and let him know that he can trust me and that I'm not set in stone. I'd proven loyal to Dan and Fabio, and I wanted to sort of put that bug in his ear.
Reality TV World: So when did you decide that Sash really wasn't going to be on your side and needed to flip on your alliance with Fabio and Dan?
Ben "Benry" Henry:
Prior to going into Tribal Council, and just knowing Sash the entire game, I really didn't seem true to him and I knew he was sort of shifty the entire game. And I'm kicking myself still for putting as much faith and as much trust in him as I did that late in the game. It was extremely stupid.
I think that Sash in the back of his mind knew the entire time that he was going to side with Chase and Holly and Jane regardless of who [Chase] took on the reward which was extremely stupid. But I think Chase had already made his decision -- or I think Sash had already made his decision -- to side with their alliance prior to even coming back to camp after that Reward Challenge.
Reality TV World: Fabio and Dan didn't really seem to get that upset when you walked over to the shelter and told them Sash was talking with Holly and Chase and you thought the plan you guys had come up with was suddenly "doomed." Why do you that was, and did their laid-back reactions play any role in your decision to try and flip -- like, were you worried one of them had maybe already cut a deal with Chase or something?
Ben "Benry" Henry:
Yes and no. No I didn't really think about that at the time to be honest, and neither of them did cut a deal. They were both just as blindsided as I was last night. But no, I didn't really think that they cut a deal.
Reality TV World: Last night's episode showed Chase promising Sash that he'd never vote him off and take him to the final two or three if he joined with Chase's alliance -- do you think Sash believed Chase would follow through on that?
Ben "Benry" Henry:
I think Sash is a smart player. I think he knows what he's doing and I think there's always a part of Sash that only trusts somebody 50% percent.
Reality TV World: But based on what you already said earlier, it doesn't sound like you think that played a big role in Sash's decision as to which alliance to join up with? It sounds like you believe he was planning from the beginning to side with Chase, Holly and Jane?
Ben "Benry" Henry:
Yeah, I think he had his mind made up from the beginning even though back at camp -- we tried to do a good job of persuading him that he would need to potentially jump ship and vote with us. But that's ultimately why I decided that I had to resort to turning on my alliance and vote Fabio out, because I knew in the back of my mind that I couldn't trust Sash.
Reality TV World: So what do you think made Sash decide to go with Chase's group -- do youir was just that he thought Fabio and yourself were bigger Immunity Challenge threats?
Ben "Benry" Henry:
Yeah, I think he probably thought that we were bigger immunity threats and also we were going to be tough to sit next to in the final three. Even though Jane -- you know that Jane's gonna be tough to sit next to in the final three, and Holly as well, and Chase's dad died. He's got the whole
sob story as well.
So I'm curious actually, still, as to why Sash decided to side with them. I don't know if it's because -- Chase had an idol too, so there's definitely still some questions running through my mind.
Reality TV World: You and Chase seemed to have a pretty big disconnect about your relationship. You called Chase "your boy since Day 1," but Chase said he hadn't really trusted you the entire game. Did you really think you two had a strong relationship, and do you have any explanation for why he seemed to have such a drastic...
Ben "Benry" Henry:
Yeah, it's been a trip to watch for sure. I have no idea what I did to make him not trust me. But right off the bat at the beginning of the game, within the first couple days, I got to know Chase pretty well. And the reason that I wanted to -- why I thought I was so close with him -- was because he really opened up to me and he played the whole game with his heart and his emotion.
And there was a point in the beginning of the game when he said, "Man, I don't know what I'm getting myself into. I don't know if I'm cut out for this game. I just have a really big problem lying" -- and playing with his heart and emotion.
So I'm thinking that [he was] the southern boy with the solid moral values, and I really thought that I could trust him and I really thought that we had a mutual trust. But obviously we didn't, and I'm not sure what I did to deserve distrust.
Reality TV World: The one thing everyone that was left out there seemed to agree on was that they couldn't really trust Sash. Why do you think that was, and what are you thoughts about his gameplay so far?
Ben "Benry" Henry:
I mean his gameplay, obviously you can't hate on it. Look at him, I mean, he's sitting very pretty. But just, I mean he is -- just his fake laugh and the way he approached you -- he was a sh-tty liar, I feel like, and it was -- I feel like people definitely saw through him. -- He just was too nice.
He'd come up and also, I don't know. He was just super fake and that's it.
Reality TV World: How strong did you think your alliance with Fabio and Dan was and exactly when did it come about, because we really didn't see much of it on TV before -- from watching at home, it almost seemed like it was an alliance of necessity that just happened because they were basically the only folks left.
Ben "Benry" Henry:
Yeah it just sort of, it just sort of formed. And my whole strategy sort of to begin with was to befriend everybody and sort of lay low and not really establish a solid alliance early on in the game. I had eyes and ears everywhere for the most part, so I thought, and that was sort of my strategy.
So it was just sort of ended up forming -- and like I said, I thought I still had Holly and Chase in my back pocket. Jane was giving me some bullsh-t, so I still thought I was sort of in the middle of two alliances.
Reality TV World: How were you cast on
? How did you end up on the show?
Ben "Benry" Henry:
I was -- it happened really fast. -- I've always been a fan of
and met somebody at my place of work who was involved in casting and I made a video and sent it in, and one thing led to another, and my video was pretty damn good.
So, I think they were looking for a young guy like me on the under 30 side, I don't know. It happened pretty quick. It was amazing though.

What is this algae and how do i get rid of it?
2 Attachment(s)
Hey guys newbie here i've got a question about algae on plants.
There is a type of fuzz algae in my 30 gallon tank and i cannot get rid of it. No matter what i do it somehow still thrives. I am not dosing any ferts and i am doing pressurized co2 injections with a 50% water change once a week. I have posted pics any answers on how to get rid of this would be greatly appreciated.
First... you'll need to give us your entire tank spec to be able to help you. As every tank is different.
Second... you can't used pressurized co2 without fert. You're getting them steriod without food to grow.
Third... we need a full tank shot. It will help us to determine your cause.

Alright here are my tank specs. This algae is in my 30 gallon tank
The tank is 36x12x17, the light fixture is 2 and 3/4 inches above the tank and 5 inches above the water level that i try to maintain. It is 16 and a half inches from the light fixture to the substrate.
T5HO 4x39w 4x6700K 156watts 5.2watts per gallon probably way to much
Tetra whisper 30EX hang on filter that uses carbon filters.
Substrate is layered with flourite red at the bottom then eco-complete as the middle and then sand at the top.
2-3 bubbles per second of co2,
and as mentioned before no liquid ferts.
Hopefully this will help.
This is what my tank looks like right now.
WPG is outdated. Here is a good living thread to read:
Oh! Forgot to mention I've got T5HO bulbs. The tank photo was taken today and there are no powerheads in the tank. The lights are on for 8 hours a day i have them set on a timer. Could the algae be due to a lack of water flow the plant's leaves don't sway in the water.
In the tank i've got
4 Red cherry shrimp
4 Amano shrimp
infestation of pond snails
2 Spotted cory - Corydoras ambiacus
5 Neon tetras
2 Otocinclus
Thanks for the PAR article, awesome info, the only bad thing is that i don't have the money to drop 100+ on a PAR meter. The LFS here uses test strips for their free water testing which explains why they are mainly a pet store that sells a variety of animals and not just fish and invertebrates... What can i do, just plain stumped right now. Really need some help right now the algae is starting to smother my HC and i'm starting to lose hope.
Just estimate from the information in the thread. The gist of it is T5HO bulbs very often come with very good reflectors and the plants cannot use it all so algae attacks.
Are you fertilizing the tank at all? Lots of bright tanks with pressurized gas need more phosphate and nitrate than fish poop provides and any tank will need some added potassium and trace elements. Another link for you.
And another because it is short and succinct.
I think it is hair algae but not positive. I have the same but it's no tech tank with a hob filter no Heater.
Thanks for the links Kathyy and nyxkitten! I have started to dose liquid ferts; flourish supplement and flourish trace supplements. Did my water change on Saturday and added liquid flourish after to replenish the water column. I dont have any liquid potassium or nitrate but will look into the dry ferts some more before i buy now that i know about them. I will take out a light bulb tonight and see how it works tomorrow for sure.
Will floating plants or a moss ball help out compete the algae for nutrients, and should i get a powerhead when all i have is the tetra whisper 30EX?
Thanks for the information the more i learn the better ill be to prevent algae in the future!
Alright, i have reduced the Lighting just two T5HO bulbs and have increased the flow. It seems that the Algae has stopped growing, and my plants have started to look healthier as well! I have added some new fish yesterday, not in the motive that they will control the Algae. I added a Farowella, three Siamese Algae eaters, and two Ottos to the tank. Again, thanks for all the help.

Renita Jablonski: The International Association of Machinists is expected to vote today on a new contract with Boeing. Without approval, the union could strike. Danielle Karson reports.
Danielle Karson: Boeing says the 300-page agreement is its final offer. Spokesman Tom Healy calls it the best contract in the industry.
Tom Healy: It rewards employees for the success that the company's had. We've had three strong years selling airplanes. They've earned it; they deserve it; and that's what this offer does.
The contract would bump up wages 11 percent and pensions more than 14 percent over three years. Marick Masters, an analyst at the University of Pittsburgh, says the contract is generous, but ...
Marick Masters: These workers want a share of the record profits. They look at it as them having made a good deal of effort to make Boeing in the situation that it's in today, and they're asking for their fair share.
Analysts say a strike would hurt Boeing's delivery schedule of government contracts. A strike could also cost the company $100 million a day in revenue.

Scientists have noted alarming trends in the arctic that continue to indicate a rise in global temperature, which could ultimately lead to catastrophe: "There have been regional warming periods before. Now we're seeing arctic-wide changes."
For the past five years, it was at least 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit above average over the Arctic over the entire year, said James Overland, an oceanographer at the Pacific Marine Environmental Lab in Seattle.
The new "State of the Arctic" analysis, released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also reports an increase in northward movement of warmer water through the Bering Strait in 2001-2004. This may have contributed to a continuing reduction of sea ice.
During that time, there were record lows in sea ice coverage in the region, Overland said. This year there was more normal coverage in the Bering area but a record low on the Atlantic side of the arctic.
In the past when such a shift occurred, there would have been no net loss of ice overall, just a change in where there was a smaller amount. Now, however, there is both the shift and an overall net loss of ice, he said.
Indeed, the report said arctic sea ice coverage this past March was the lowest in winter since measurements by satellite began in the early 1970s.

I was eleven years old when one day the housemother for my dorm at Shanti Bhavan Residential School approached me with a serious and sad look on her face. Her words were soft and pained, and her tone was unsure. I braced myself for what she was going to say. My father whom I loved so dearly was killed in an accident at a quarry where he worked. A large boulder hit him on his chest, crushing him in a blast.
In the months and years that followed, the circumstances of his death were narrated vividly and frequently by many in the family that I began to think I had witnessed the accident. Memories of my treasured moments with him seemed to blast away from me, just like the rocks that killed him. I can still hear my mother's anguished wails and see her falling across his body.
For many months, unable to forget the empty space in me my father once filled, I remained in deep sorrow. Before long, I was put on academic probation because of my lack of interest in school.
It was during this period that the realization of my predicament struck me – the worsening financial situation at home, and the many new burdens my mother had to carry to look after her children. It was the beginning of an accelerated maturation process for me to take my life seriously. In a strange way, I found renewed strength from my personal tragedy, motivating me to put all my energies into my studies of science. Soon, my scores in examinations began to improve.
Math and science, once my weakest subjects, became more interesting and easy. I began to think of medicine as my career in the future. I knew that I had a long way to go, but was determined to pursue my dream of becoming a cardiologist one day. I was motivated by a desire to help those who are helpless.
I was born in a remote village called Begili in Tamil Nadu. My family and many others in the village worked in a quarry, and lived in huts around its border. During the day everyone worked in the hot sun breaking rocks with hammers and at night the sound of boulders being blasted kept us awake. My family's livelihood stemmed from those rocks; those rocks that gave life and took life. Many like my father had succumbed to their injuries in perilous accidents. My family thought I would join work with them — a simple ignorant quarry woman worker.
But at the age of four I got selected to study in a school called Shanti Bhavan for children from underprivileged backgrounds. While my parents continued to work at the quarry, I moved on from learning alphabets to numbers, math calculations to chemistry derivations. Unlike them, I was not breaking but building their hopes and mine.
At school I enjoyed reading, listening to music, watching my peers perform dances on stage, spending time with my friends and tutoring my juniors in biology. Life became an everyday surprise. Meeting volunteers from around the world and taking part in many school activities have always interested me. Very soon I began to aspire for studying at one of the best colleges in America and elsewhere abroad.
Today I walk the halls of Shanti Bhavan with grace that I could have obtained only through my determination and the encouragement and support that everyone has given me. The values that I have learned at Shanti Bhavan like honesty, integrity, love and humility will always be the guiding principles for my actions and decisions. I have understood the importance of being humble and kind. When I return home during vacations, I am mentally prepared to face many hardships such as no running water, no toilets and little food.
I feel blessed to have grown up at Shanti Bhavan. By not allowing me to dwell only on my father's death made me strong and persevering. This 'Haven of Peace' has inspired in me a yearning to make a difference in the lives of others.
As I journey through life, I uphold the values of dedication, steadfastness and perseverance close to my heart and dream of achieving success through education.

Why does YouTube make it so hard to monetize my videos?
YouTube invited me to take part in their monetization program several months back. As someone that self-publishes all of my own music and videos without the help (or burden) of a record label, this seemed like a good way to earn a few extra bucks a month. I was hesitant to place ads on my videos, but I figured I could roll with their less intrusive "overlay" ads and forego the "wait 5 seconds to skip" ads that appear before the video. The ads don't advertise Halliburton or killing puppies or promote the westboro baptist church so I figured I could give it a go. No intentions of becoming filthy rich here, but I could potentially cover a small part of the cost of making music.
I am the copyright holder of everything I upload to YouTube, so you'd think it should be pretty straightforward to monetize my vids. I've come to find out is their decision to include or deny videos is a bit arbitrary. I've been able to monetize a handful of my videos without any problems, but there are quite a few that they just refuse to monetize.
Ultimately this isn't a big deal—I don't generally spend too much time thinking about this kind of stuff—I'd prefer to stay focused on staying inspired, coming up with new musical ideas, writing lyrics, learning a new instrument. But it is just a bit odd, and it seems their content review process is flawed. Maybe someone else has had the same experience and can share their insight.
Here's one example. I recently posted this video that simply plays one of my most downloaded tracks "Computer":
I signed up for monetization, and within a few days I received an email. I figured maybe their copyright detection algorithms flagged my video:
Dear stateshirt,
At this time, we are unable to approve your video(s) because we do not have sufficient information regarding your commercial use rights.
We may consider your video(s) for further review provided you verify that you are authorized to commercially use all of the elements of your content. This includes all video, images, music, video game footage, and any other audio or visual elements. Learn more
The YouTube Team
Ok— they don't know that I'm the actual recording artist and copyright holder, and that I have the authority to allow my own videos to be monetized on YouTube. Fair enough. According to their FAQs, I need to submit documentation that I am the copyright owner.
So I submitted a letter (on my record label letterhead) stating that I am the recording artist, sole copyright holder (for the composition, sound recording, and moving images), record label owner, publisher, copyright administrator, and licensing administrator. I set the terms for the commercial usage of all my sound recordings, compositions, and videos. I gave permission for YouTube user 'stateshirt' (myself, duh!) to monetize my music and videos on the YouTube platform in perpetuity, worldwide.
After a week or so they send this email:
Dear stateshirt,
Thanks for submitting your video "State Shirt – Computer" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhgxgP0osXs) for monetization. We did not approve this video for monetization because the content in your video and/or the metadata may not be advertiser-friendly.
Please note that YouTube reserves the right to make the final decision whether to monetize a video, and we may disable monetization for partners who repeatedly submit ineligible videos.
The YouTube Team
The tags in my video are things like "state shirt" "state shirt computer" "independent music", etc. The song doesn't have any lyrics that could be deemed offensive. Not sure what they mean by metadata that isn't advertiser-friendly?
I went through the same process for several other videos that I submitted for monetization. This time they state commercial use rights could not be verified:
Dear stateshirt,
Thanks for submitting your recent video "State Shirt – So Weird" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Sv7BmCwWo) for monetization. We did not approve this video for monetization because we were not able to verify that you have the appropriate commercial use rights for all visual and/or audio elements.
Please note that YouTube reserves the right to make the final decision whether to monetize a video, and we may disable monetization for partners who repeatedly submit ineligible videos.
The YouTube Team
I guess I don't know how else to prove to them that I authorize commercial usage of my songs on YouTube. Something is little fishy, considering you can often see YouTube users monetize videos where they clearly do not own the copyright to the content in the video. Why do those get approved by YouTube? I've even seen other videos that use MY music that are being monetized. So YouTube is letting someone else profit from my songs but not me.
Again, this isn't really a big deal. I don't like spending time thinking about money, but as a independent artist (and an artist that gives my music away for free) I do need to look at ways to keep this little "business" afloat. I am just a bit confused as to what their policies are. I will probably not bother trying take part of this program if I'm unable to convince them that I'm the copyright holder of the music that I post on YouTube.
Anyone else run into the same thing? Any ideas? How has it worked for you?

I've been googling this after one of my vids got rejected the same way. I filmed all the video myself and used royalty free music which I linked to and clearly says "may be used with youtube videos and monetized" and YouTube still rejected me.
TONS of people have this problem. It's all automated and very few humans actually review stuff.
And now that my vid was rejected there NO WAY to dispute it.
I'm very upset today.
There are my 2 videos, one rejected, one was not. Same darn music!
JuliaJanuary 25, 2013
I never had this problem until yesterday, when YouTube was claiming I needed to prove I had the copyright to use videos in my photo slideshow. I am a photographer that took pictures of the mountains where my parents live, and some pictures of my mom's flowers and cat. I basically pointed this out to Youtube, but the laughable aspect of all this is the determination about my video was made in the middle of the night, per the 1:30 a.m post mark of the email. Oh well, I am now considering other video options beyond YouTube.
Jason PhoenixMarch 11, 2013
Hi! Love your work.
The answer to your problem lies here: http://www.youtube.com/t/contentid
Specifically there's a link at the bottom of the page you'll want to look at.
YouTube uses a system called Content ID to determine whether the audiovisual content of a video belongs to a copyright holder.
You must become the copyright holder via their Content ID program, which admittedly will take some time and some research but carries the added benefit that you could identify (and/or monetize) all examples of your work being used by anyone on YouTube.
This will at least sort that your work is your work with their system (and prevent anyone else from claiming your work is theirs.)
The YouTube Partner thing I don't understand yet. I had thought it was a sort of "Don't call us, we'll call you" sort of affair.
Best wishes!
OliverNovember 8, 2013
I'm getting an email from youtube where they say about the same thing as they told you: We couldn't verify that you own the rights to audio and video…
I find it extremely annoying, since the video was me playing a cover version of Be Alright, and I used only material I made myself.
Chris JDecember 7, 2013
Hi, I got really frustrated after having this happen to one of my videos – my first video upload to YouTube actually – where I had to prove all content was my own. It was an original song accompanied by photos from a royalty and copyright free website. So no problem right?? Wrong! In the end, I sent so many emails to YouTube but then decided to give up as I was being made to jump through too many hoops and it was obvious that I was being spoken to by a computer and not a human being.
I did some looking around and, as others have posted above, found that thousands of people have faced this same issue with monetising their own videos. I came across this very helpful little tutorial and followed it through and… ta-daaaa! – my video was monetised in a matter of minutes.
Basically you have to play YouTube at their own game and initially upload your video with no information whatsoever, apart from something like 'the' in the title. No description, no tags, nothing – then perform some other trickery and, as long as nothing matches their ContentID matching algorithm (which it shouldn't if your music is completely original), you should be sorted. Anyway this video does a better job of explaining it than I can.
Hope this helps, and check out my channel!
Chris JDecember 7, 2013
In your case, YouTube is justified in not allowing you to monetise your cover version of an original song as the copyright already belongs to the record label / artist.
Your video may be all your own work but you are still copying an existing, copyrighted piece of work and repeating someone else's music and lyrics.
I've uploaded a cover of Katie Melua's song Piece By Piece to my YouTube channel but have not even attempted to monetise it as I know it would be in violation of YouTube's monetisation policy.
Read more about YouTube's monetisation policy and check out their clear guidelines on what types of videos can and can't be monetised.
Think ParadoxDecember 18, 2013
I get this quite a bit myself on videos that are direct webcam uploads and hangouts on air and podcasts. I'm thinking the best possible route is to get your stuff sorted with the content ID system yourself when you upload your music. For me, monetization of my Science and Physics Q&A videos and podcasts is for me to download the direct webcam upload video and reupload it after having deleted the original from YouTube and monetize it again.
I've had a video that's been waiting over 2 years for monetization review again and it never got done, so I deleted it and reuploaded and BAM, suddenly it qualifies for monetization.
Marco TeelDecember 23, 2013
I have the same problems as you, i've been googling and got an answer that might be used.
When you monetize your video, YT will reviewing your video. When you got icon "under review" for long time apr. 3 hrs – 2 days. After 2 Days you will get notification that your video can't be monet or you have to prove the video content. You can use this and your video will monetize.
1. When you upload it, make it private.
2. Stop monetizing, and set name for your video "default"
3. Enhance your video using YT editor, make your video "black and white" by turn the saturation into (minus) -5
4. Monetize your video again, refresh the browser until monetize icon showed
5. If you still can't monetize your video, change your video name again and monetize again.
6. When monetize icon showed, change again your video like before.
it works for me.
ChnotyJanuary 2, 2014
@Marco teel when can i make it public? after monetized? or make it public after edit the video in black and white then monetize?
is it posible to monetize and approve even if my vdeo is in private?
Gaurav AilJanuary 27, 2014
I am facing the same problem which all of you are facing, and I have even vented my frustrations on my blog on a platform owned by Google, I seriously believe its time someone breaks Google's stranglehold on the online advertising market and gives us more options to monetize out videos and blogs . if anyone has the time to read you may please read my YouTube frustration story http://theritespace.blogspot.in/2014/01/monetizing-video-on-youtube-phew-my.html
Kamlesh DroliaJanuary 29, 2014
I am also havin a problem that whenever i submit video they send me letter asking for additional Document. I submit my letter signed by content owner, But they refused to accept it everytime. I am really frustrated
MichaelFebruary 24, 2014
I'm really glad people wrote a lot of useful advice in the comments. I am having the same youtube problem with music and video recorded by myself, and all I notice is that I'm talking to a machine when I try to state that the copyright is mine.
The funny thing about internet companies is that they are all equally unfriendly to users. Facebook considers me a spammer, so every link to my website will be blocked. I had no chance to re-establish my reputation and nobody even asked me if I was spamming or told me who accused me of spamming in the first place.
Youtube believes I am stealing content and all I can do is try to tell a robot that it's not true. Both facebook and youtube (google) never reply personally, it's always just robots… if there even is an answer at all. All you can do is try to trick the system. Writing letters to them in which I allow myself to use my own music seems kind of stupid to me. Especially when there is a freaking ROBOT on the other end of the mail box.
DaveMarch 6, 2014
Hey, I know the pain. Studied found the answer no problem ever now. Save your file with minimum words not even the ones you will use. So like my movie as file name. Upload to YouTube. Just put a little description, a tag or two or none. save changes thumbnail etc…
Once uploaded it will be a question mark. Refresh page once or twice F-5 or upper left circle arrow to check if monetized. Sometimes does first time. Now go into video manager to the video add a word or so to title, save changes and now unmonetize and save changes. sign out of youtube. Clear cache in chrome and even under control panel. sign back into youtube. Now monitize the video save changes. Refresh page and walla its monitized. Works every time. Now go back in and give the video the real title, description and tags you want its already monitized save changes your done.

In case you didn't know, for vimeo plus users (paid, unfortunately), vimeo now has a "tip jar" feature, where people can send you donations if they like your work and support your practice. I've never decided to do it, but if you own all the rights to your videos, you might consider it, especially if your audience is very large. And as far as I know, there is no verification by vimeo about rights and all that bullshit. It is a much more artist friendly site than youtube, rather than a garbage heap of selfie and cell phone videos like youtube. You simply post a video, turn on the tip jar function, and on the video's page, as well as when anyone embeds it, I believe a prompt comes up at the end asking the viewer if they'd like to contribute, and there's of course a link on the page. It could at least be an option to exercise in addition to youtube. Make more revenue, no downside. Plus, vimeo plus is only like $60 for a year. Who cares, it's a lot more professional than youtube, and you're in better company. You can even customize how embed windows look when they come up, the encoding for video is better, then improvements over youtube are endless.

I run a newly established YT channel for Polish PC gamers all over the world. Recently some of my videos are being removed from the monetization program. They are still online but no earnings…. I can understand one of them – pretty brutal FPS for a mature gamer but even my VLOG has been forbiden from monetization! My VLOG, with me, no music, no other sounds than my voice! As for the rest of my videos, well, I have written permissions from developers or publishers. All legal here. What strikes me is the most the lack of explanation. All YT gives me are those incompetent automated answers, which do not explain absolutely anything. I will still create and publish my videos but at this rate it is hardly possible I'll make the extra buck. All thanks the the same corporation that encouraged me to attend the partner program – YouTube.
kooreenSeptember 20, 2014
YT & Google is so cruel. I uploaded a video to YT just put an image still unmonetize. I don't know what kind of system they used.

read this tutorial to see why and how to fix it:
MattNovember 16, 2014
YT is goind stupid… i did the test to upload a 10 second video without music and just a black image (10s of black image without sound…). Still I got to prove that I own the right for the video WTF? but more funny is that 1 month later Im still waiting for approval… I dont know if youtube keeps a record of your previous mistakes or what, but this is just ASKING for a new youtube alternative… will you go to a new youtube without this problems or stay on this crap youtube we have now?

Thailand's three southern provinces are the only areas in which Muslims constitute a majority of the population. After a month of fasting for Ramadan, Thai Muslims celebrated Idul Fitri, day to mark the end of the holiday, with renewed hope the violence which has wracked the provinces will soon end. A Muslim led insurgency which began in January, 2004 has led to the deaths of over 3,400 people. Thai Muslims charge the dominant Buddhist government refuses to acknowledge the rights of minorities. In response, the Thai army has been heavily engaged in military actions in the area. Mohammad Rahman, as he left his mosque said: "Today at least, we are not afraid of shootings or murder. I hope the momentum for less violence will continue." Unfortunately, his area witnessed ten deaths within a week.
The Muslim led insurgency in southern Thailand is another example of what happens when governments fail to take a proactive stance in ensuring minorities enjoy equal rights. A resort to military attacks is one method of dealing with insurgencies, but so are education, economic assistance, and ensuring people are represented at all levels of government.

Issue of salaries of local elected officials could go to Colorado voters
April 29, 2014
Making the case for local control
Teak J. Simonton, the chairwoman of the State Salary Commission, outlined some of the provisions of a legislative resolution that asks voters to approve a constitutional amendment that would shift authority over salaries of local elected officials to the county level.
The commission comprises 13 elected officials from across the state who make recommendations to the House and Senate local government committees.
• "Increases for each type of elected position would be different, but in all cases, the flexibility would be completely controlled within each county."
• "The process by which salaries would be set would include a recommendation from a bi-partisan citizen's commission in each county."
• "Each county could develop a transparent approach involving the citizenry in open public meetings."
• "Economically strapped counties would not be required to make any salary increases at all."
• "County's with economic vitally, or high cost of living, in line with other employee increases."
Steamboat Springs — Routt County's elected public officials won't see passage this year of a late bill that would have given them pay raises after the 2014 general election, but there's a separate effort underway at the state Legislature that would completely overhaul the current system for increasing compensation for county commissioners, county clerks, sheriffs and more.
A Senate resolution now being considered would ask voters to amend the state constitution to allow counties to establish their own salaries for elected county officials. It would direct the general assembly mandate the creation of citizens commissions in each county for the purpose of evaluating the salaries of elected county officers biennially and making recommendations to the county commissioners. In addition to county commissioners, clerks and sheriffs, it would include treasurers, assessors, coroners and surveyors.
The Routt County Board of Commissioners agreed in April a request from four elected officials here to make a plea to the state Legislature to consider a late bill that would pave the way for their first pay increase since 2007. However, Commission Chairman Tim Corrigan confirmed Tuesday that it won't happen this year.
"It's dead," Corrigan said. "Speaker of the House Mark Ferrandino would not afford it late-bill status, and it was never brought to consideration."
Presently, compensation for the different elected officials is determined by a system that categorizes Colorado's counties by population, total assessed valuation and population growth.
Routt currently is among 20 Category 3 counties along with Rio Blanco, San Miguel, Grand, Gunnison, Montrose and Moffat, among others.
Just ahead of Routt, in Category 2, where elected county officials earn higher salaries, are counties such as Fremont Mesa, Summit, La Plata, Pitkin, Eagle and Garfield.
County commissioners, county clerks and assessors in Category 2 counties earn $72,500 compared to the $58,500 in Category 3. Sheriffs earn $87,700 instead of $76,000.
The local elected officials that came to the county commissioners in April reasoned they had not seen cost-of-living increases since 2008, and in some cases, their second and third in command were making more than they were.
"Twenty percent of my staff earns more than I do, and if their step raises continue, it will be three out of 10 next year," County Assessor Gary Peterson said April 9.
The language of the resolution, which would put the question to voters, notes that with the salaries of county officers tied to statute, they are "infrequently modified," and that in turn serves as a deterrent to some candidates who might otherwise seek public service.
Peterson said Tuesday that he thinks the constitutional amendment, if passed, would remove the question of pay raises for elected officials from the politically charged legislative process, but he wasn't overly optimistic about its fate.
"I certainly have hope for it, but I would say it is a long shot," Peterson said. "Three-quarters of the Senate and the House have to vote for it just to get it to the ballot. Depending on how it gets worded, I just think the public might have a hard time understanding it. I have no idea how the public is going to perceive it."

Citation: Zhu, X., Ort, D.R., Whitmarsh, C.J., Long, S.P. 2004. The Slow Reversibility of Photosystem II Thermal Energy Dissipation On Transfer From High To low Light May Cause Large Losses In Carbon Gain By Crop Canopies: A Theoretical Analysis. Journal of Experimental Botany. 55:1167-1175. Interpretive Summary: Although light is the source of energy for photosynthesis and, for most crops, there is a direct relationship between the amount of light absorbed over the growing season and economic yield of the crop, for long periods of sunny days plants receive more light than they can use. In fact, plants have very sophisticated mechanisms to avoid damage during those periods when there is too much light. This is a process known as photoprotection. However, when plants enter a photoprotected state, photosynthesis is much less efficient. The work presented here investigates the fact that the photoprotected state is very slow to reverse when conditions change and light is no longer in excess thus resulting in a situation where plants are operating at low photosynthetic efficiency when there is no adaptive reason to do so. We show that more rapid reversal of the photoprotected state to the high efficiency state would substantially improve crop performance and yield. This work is important as it identifies a previously unrecognized agronomic trait that may exhibit genetic variation among different cultivars and plants varieties and thus be a useful breeding trait to improve productivity.
Technical Abstract: Regulated thermal dissipation of absorbed light energy within the photosystem II antenna system helps protect photosystem II from damage in excess light. This reversible photoprotective process decreases the maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) and CO2 assimilation ('CO2), and decreases the convexity of the non-rectangular hyperbola describing the response of leaf CO2 assimilation to photon flux ('). At high light, a decrease in 'CO2 has minimal impact on carbon gain, while high thermal energy dissipation protects PSII against oxidative damage. Light in leaf canopies in the field is continually fluctuating and a finite period of time is required for recovery of 'CO2 and ' when light drops below excess levels. Low 'CO2 and ' can limit the rate of photosynthetic carbon assimilation on transfer to low light, an effect prolonged by low temperature. What is the cost of this delayed reversal of thermal energy dissipation and 'CO2 recovery to potential CO2 uptake by a canopy in the field? To address this question a reverse ray-tracing algorithm for predicting the light dynamics of 120 randomly selected individual points in a model canopy was used to describe the discontinuity and heterogeneity of light flux within the canopy. Because photoprotection is at the level of the cell, not the leaf, light was simulated for small points of 104 µm rather than as an average for a leaf. The predicted light dynamics were combined with empirical equations simulating the dynamics of the light dependent decrease and recovery of 'CO2 and ' and their effects on the integrated daily canopy carbon uptake (A'c). The simulation was for a model canopy of leaf area index 3 with random inclination and orientation of foliage, on a clear sky day (latitude 44° N, 120th day of the year). The delay in recovery of photoprotection was predicted to decrease A'c by 17% at 30 °C and 32% at 10 °C for a chilling-susceptible species, and by 12.8% at 30 °C and 24% at 10 °C for a chilling-tolerant species. These predictions suggest that the selection, or engineering, of genotypes capable of more rapid recovery from the photoprotected state would substantially increase carbon uptake by crop canopies in the field.

Earlier this week, scientists from IBM Research announced ground breaking early research discovering new types of nanoparticles that are physically attracted like magnets to MRSA cells, ignoring healthy cells completely and targeting and killing the bacteria by poking holes in its walls. This discovery could greatly improve the effectiveness of medication. This innovation is just one example of IBM's ability to use principles and technologies from computing, physics, materials science and chemistry to advance the science of medicine.
To celebrate IBM's Centennial, the company is unveiling an "icon of progress" representing IBM's contributions to fighting infectious diseases and contributions to world health. From the first continuous blood separator which led to treatment for leukemia patients, the first heart lung machine to keep patients alive during surgery, to the excimer laser used in LASIK eye surgery, IBM has made vast contributions to the fields of healthcare and life sciences.
Today, one in every eight of the earth's inhabitants will be over 65 by 2030, and more than one billion people are overweight and another 388 million people will die in the next 10 years of a chronic disease. New ways to treat illnesses, battle major outbreaks and transform how healthcare is delivered around the world are critical for the health of populations and for the economic health of our communities.
Breakthroughs in nanotechnology, gene sequencing and even innovations in chip design will continue to improve healthcare around the world.
Recognizing World Health Day, IBM is also applying its expertise to address public health issues such as in Cross River State, Nigeria. Here biometric identification and solar energy are just a few of the technologies in use to provide access to free healthcare and reduce child and maternal mortality rates by a goal of 50 percent by the end of 2011.
Through the years, IBM has created hardware and applications specifically designed to improve care, diagnosis and treatment of disease, and advance how medical knowledge is shared.
Today, IBM is turning its focus to healthcare transformation, helping entire countries develop new patient-centric models of care, connecting health information and enabling deep analytics of medical data.
At the heart of any healthcare transformation are electronic health records, the basic building blocks of healthcare efficiency. IBM has a long history of creating and connecting systems to share patient information. When standardized and shared, electronic health records provide a powerful means of increasing accuracy and speeding the delivery of patient information to the point of care. They enable better collaboration, more complete records, and better service. Advanced health analytics provides new insight into the treatment of disease, can speed discovery of new drugs and therapies, and empowers healthcare providers with better information to improve care.
IBM's work to create smarter healthcare systems, optimized around the patient, is aimed at reducing medical errors, achieving better patient safety and quality outcomes and saving lives.
This year marks IBM's centennial and healthcare continues to be one of its most important areas of industry focus. The company spends more than $6B a year on R&D, much of it on healthcare, and IBM is one of the few technology companies with large teams of physicians and other clinicians on staff to ensure healthcare's most pressing needs are met.

This week is final week for the student's at OIT in Klamath Falls Oregon. The Dean Of Students once more requested that our group Angels In Whiskers come help them destress. This is known as Pet A Pup Week. This is my third time at the college. We go every semester.
I love going and making the kids smile. They are so happy to have us there. The campus doesn't allow dogs so they are missing their babies at home. This program helps them by coming into a very large room and laying on the floor with us dogs. Or as I do it, sit on them. I'm over 100 lbs and believe me I love their laps. There are pictures on my page.
The students remember us from the other times we have been there. Their faces light up when they see a dog they know. Last semester my sister Stormy and I were on the news and in the new paper. The boy that had me in his lap while the cameras were rolling came back this week just to see me. I've made a friend for life.
The students come and go for about 2 hours. They take a break from all the studying they have been doing. We have professors come visit us also. It's amazing how many different people show up. All to pet, scratch, massage me and just talk with my mom. It is a wonderful program to be apart of.
Next semester you'll know where I'll be for two days. With my college friends. It's so rewarding to be a certified therapy dog.
Finally we have a beautiful day. It has been in the low 70's today. My brother called my mom and asked her to meet him at the park. He is a photographer and he wanted her to bring me. Now I was ready for a day in the park without my siblings. It's wonderful feeling not to have 3 little dogs always with you.
Mom thought the park was a great opportunity to do some training with me. I'm starting training in May to become a Certified Therapy Dog. Mom loaded me up in the SUV and off we went. I love the drive to the park. It's not far but you see all kinds of birds. The park is by a huge lake. We finally found a parking place and mom unloaded me. I felt so good not having any other dogs with me. I was the one in the spot light for the afternoon.
The park was crawling with things called kids. It's a good thing I really like them. I didn't know that I really did until they were hanging on me. They tasted really good too. Much different than my mom and dad. Kind of sweet like candy. Also like hot dogs and chips. Anyways I was in 7th Heaven. Mom said I will pass the crowded part of my testing with flying colors.
Mom took me for a walk and we did a lot of different things. She made me walk and then lay down. I don't know why but I did it. It seemed to please her and everyone that was watching me. (My breed tends to scare people) I would walk and when mom stops I sit. She would walk two feet and stop. I didn't know she was so tired. I never could figure why she was doing this but I did it.
My brother got there and started taking pictures of me. I posed by the lake, under trees, by more trees, walking and doing that sitting stuff. But I really didn't mind. It was fun. Mom decided to down me by the edge of the lake and have some pictures taken there. I was just posing and then came a yappy little dog running at me, with attack on his mind. Now I'm raised with three little dogs. Mom told me to leave it and stay. I didn't move. Oh I wanted to. But I didn't. That owner came running up and was so thankful that I was trained that she told me I was such a good boy. Mom gave me a treat and said I would pass that part of the test also.
We decided to walk by the lake and again a little dog came running at me. It was one of the three that had barked and ran at me before. This time it was the smallest one. Mom once again told me to leave it and put her foot out so it couldn't bite my feet. The lady apologized once again. By this time everyone around us was watching to see what would happen. I was a good boy and mom gave me a hug.
People would tell mom what a beautiful dog I was and so well trained. I think they thought I was going to have a snack and eat that little dog. Mom is so proud of me. My brother was amazed also.
We finished the photo shoot and I got a nice cool ride home with the air conditioner on. I had a wonderful time, but never got away from three little dogs.
Soon to be, Therapy Dog, Apollo
Yesterday morning was very strange. I went to bed the night before and the grass was still green and the leaves were all in color. Then the strangest thing happened. I woke up and the earth had turned WHITE. I had never seen such a sight. Mom told us to go out and go potty. I thought she was very crazy. Didn't she see that there was something wrong? The outside had no color! My siblings ran out the door like nothing was wrong. I followed suit but stopped short on the deck. The white stuff was extremely cold! It was very wet and stuck to my nose. Mom then did a very strange thing, she found a white ball in that stuff. She mashed her hands together and there it was. Now she had my attention! What Shepherd doesn't like ball? Mom threw the ball and I went after it. It disappeared just like it wasn't there. It was to late and I was in the white stuff. I just stood there and looked around. Where did that ball go. I wanted another one. That same white stuff was falling from the sky! Very, very strange. I decided I had to go really bad so I did. I noticed I had made the white stuff turn to a beautiful yellow. Wow, I had color in me. I felt very important by then. My fur sis Stormy ran past me at a high speed. I thought she was trying to keep her feet warm. It really helped if you ran fast. So we ran and ran and soon I forgot it was cold and strange. We played and rolled in it. It was very soft and you could even eat it. But you have to make sure it's not the colored snow. I now find the snow very enjoyable. I look forward to seeing the fresh, crisp white snow. If I could write I would spell my name in it with the yellow stuff. I'm looking forward to lots more of the white stuff called snow. Until next time. Apollo
