Long Beach State's men's water polo team resisted the urge to party after its win over UC Irvine on Sunday afternoon.
No one would have begrudged Gavin Arroyo, the 49ers coach, and the players if they had.
The 12-10 win earned the 49ers their 21st win of the season, the most by a 49ers team since 1985, and clinched the 49ers a spot in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament for the first time since 2008.
"One of our goals was to make the tournament," Arroyo said, "but there's still a lot of work to be done. We thought we had a chance to make the tournament last year but fell a game short, so we sort of came into the season with a chip on our shoulder."
The sense of accomplishment is real, mostly because the success in 2012 isn't just a high point of a cycle. The current team isn't dominated by seniors; in fact, freshmen scored seven of the 12 goals in the tourney berth-clincher.
"Because the conference is so competitive, it just takes time to build your program to this point where you have continuity from year to year," said Arroyo, who won three NCAA titles as a player at Cal and was on the 1996 and 2000 U.S. Olympic teams.
"The conference season is so short (eight games) that anything can turn your season upside down - bad luck, an injury, one-goal losses, Arroyo said. "There's little room for error. This season, the competition has been so tough that it feels like the wind blowing in the wrong direction can make a difference."
The 49ers will lose just two players who started games in 2012, Spencer White and Brian Schiefer, and return seven of their top eight scorers, including 6-foot-11 center Dan Matulis (63 goals), three current freshmen, Nolan McConnell (37), Dimitrios Lappas (27) and Zacchary Kappos (26), and goalkeeper Balint Meszaros.
"We went into the Pepperdine game knowing it was a must-win," Matulis said of the Thursday win against the Waves. "That was the big one for us. Sunday was senior day and we knew we needed a win to clinch, and we really played well as a team."
Arroyo jokingly said his team has "broken the curse." There's no actual curse, but more than a few coaches in college water polo in California do often curse over the facts of competitive life.
Gender equity hit men's water polo like a tsunami. The Big West stopped sponsoring men's water polo after the 1991 season, and since 1992 Long Beach State, UC Santa Barbara, Pacific, Pepperdine and UC Irvine have shared the same league as the Pac-12 quartet of USC, UCLA, Cal and Stanford, which is sort like playing a quantum physics edition of "Jeopardy" with Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein.
In 1995, with many schools dropping water polo because of financial issues, the NCAA cut the postseason tournament from eight to four teams. It is not a coincidence that since 1990, the four Pac-12 schools have won 21 of 22 NCAA titles.
There seemingly are as many anomalies in the sport as there are teams. There are only 21 Division I men's programs. There are just three conferences, and many include Division II and III programs. All three get one automatic bid. The nine-team MPSF often holds the first nine spots in the weekly poll, but it can advance just two teams to the Final Four, the automatic bid that goes to the tourney champ and the lone at-large bid.
Each school only has 4 1/2 scholarships, but there's no restrictions on walk-ons and few on non-student-athlete aid or scholarships, so talent often gravitates to the private schools. USC has won four consecutive NCAA titles, and its current roster lists 41 players in a sport where only seven can play at a time and substitutions aren't frequent.
The 49ers have a strong tradition in the sport. The NCAA Tournament was held in Long Beach every year but three from 1969 to 1994. Former coach Ken Lindgren (1975-98) had competitive teams every year, making the NCAAs seven times, until the sea change in the sport hit in the early '90s.
The 49ers have one regular-season game left, Saturday at UC Santa Barbara, before the MPSF Tournament starts Nov. 23 at USC. A win will secure them a seed of sixth or higher and keep them from facing the teams currently ranked 1-2 nationally, USC and UCLA, in the first round.

Leaked Memo Substantiates Environmentalists' Claims On Fracking Dangers
(MintPress) – Nationwide Insurance, one of the largest Insurance companies in the United States, has decided not to cover damage related to hydraulic fracking. The decision is a frank assessment of risk associated with the controversial practice currently under consideration in a number of municipalities. Insurance companies, using Actuarial statistics can produce advanced risk assessments to determine whether an individual is insurable. The decision by Nationwide is likely to be seen as a boon to the oil and gas industry, struggling to convince skeptical citizens that hydraulic fracturing is a safe, harmless way to extract natural gas from the rock beneath the earth's surface.
Nationwide Insurance decision
The Nationwide Insurance decision was made public earlier this week when an internal company memo was leaked to the public. The memo has been widely disseminated through online environmentalist forums and is seen by anti-fracking activists as legitimizing their belief that the practice is harmful to human health and the environment.
The memo reads, "After months of research and discussion, we have determined that the exposures presented by hydraulic fracturing are too great to ignore. Risks involved with hydraulic fracturing are now prohibited for General Liability, Commercial Auto, Motor Truck Cargo, Auto Physical Damage and Public Auto (insurance) coverage."
The risks, "too great to ignore," according to the company, mean that landowners seeking to lease land to drilling companies will not be able to obtain insurance through Nationwide.
The fracking battle
Hydraulic fracturing is a process of natural gas extraction involving the injection of water and chemicals deep into the ground. The high pressure injection breaks apart imbedded rock formations, releasing natural gas for extraction and use.
The problems, however, are widely recorded by environmental studies showing that "fracking fluid" contains numerous known carcinogens. The fluid containing benzene and other harmful chemicals can contaminate the water table, according to a May 2012 study by the scientific journal Ground Water.
Although the process of hydraulic fracturing has been used in the Western U.S. for decades, it has only received increased public opposition in the past few years, especially with the advent of horizontal drilling technology. The increased public attention has been driven by the proposed development of the Marcellus shale reserve, a deposit of underground rock covering parts of New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Strong public opposition to fracking has forced Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) to back away from his previous support of fracking projects, instead proposing a development limited to a few areas in the Southern Tier of New York state.
Some communities have opted to ban the use of fracking altogether. Although not part of the Marcellus shale area, the state of Vermont banned fracking earlier this year, a victory for environmentalists and those who oppose the practice.
Additionally, a number of European countries, including Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and France, have all placed a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing. Germany has taken the strongest stance of any European country, choosing to permanently ban the practice.
In New York state, one of the contested fracking areas, the latest public opinion polls show 48 percent of New Yorkers oppose fracking. Forty-four percent support the practice, while the remaining 8 percent are unsure.
In the same telephone poll conducted June 15-17 by Public Policy Polling, 72 percent of respondents support more environmental testing on fracking before the state makes a decision on whether to allow drilling or not.

The Pleasanton City Council voted 3-2 Tuesday to support a county-wide measure that would ask voters to reauthorize Measure B, a sales tax revenue-supported effort to improve transportation in the Tri-Valley. The 2012 Alameda County Transportation Expenditures Plan (TEP) offers a ballot measure as part of the Nov. 6 General Election asking voters to extend the half-cent sales tax for transportation in the county, to add another half-cent tax through 2022 and extend the tax in perpetuity to fund the transportation programs and projects being advanced by the TEP.
While the projects in the plan are good, including renewed promises to extend BART to Livermore and to widen Highway 84 across Pigeon Pass between I-580 and I-680, the ballot measure itself is not. If this measure qualifies for the ballot and passes, it'll be 20 years before Measure B3, as it's called, comes back to voters for renewal, presumably long after the projects Pleasanton wants are completed. Although a two-thirds vote is required for Measure B3 to pass, it also contains a provision that the next time around -- 20 years from now -- only a simple majority of votes would be required to extend it for another 20 years...and then another 20 years. That's where the "in perpetuity" comes in, which we don't like.
Nor do Pleasanton City Council members Cindy McGovern and Jerry Thorne, who voted against the proposed ballot measure last Tuesday. They like most of Measure B3's funding plans, as we do, but also want a sunset clause that would give voters a chance to review B3's accomplishments every five or 10 years and then decide if we want to extend it again. Theirs were gutsy votes that astonished Mayor Jennifer Hosterman, who helped draft the proposal, and Council members Cheryl Cook-Kallio and Matt Sullivan who endorse it. The new sales tax would by one of the highest in the state. Add to it another half-cent sales tax being proposed by Governor Jerry Brown and it would be the highest, hurting the poor and those with young families the most.
The first Measure B was approved by voters in 1986, becoming one of the first half-cent county transportation sales tax in the state. The vast majority of the money went for capital projects, with a small portion for AC Transit and paratransit. The measure ran from 1987-2002. The second Measure B was rejected by voters in 1998, no doubt influenced by a weak economy and anemic campaign, and also by strong opposition by the Sierra Club and then-Assemblyman Don Perata.
In 2000, the same measure came back as B2, considered to be a more favorable, politically-correct title for the ballot measure that would last until 2022 with $1.4 billion in funds to complete a myriad of projects. It passed, with 81% of those voting approving the measure.
In 2010, the Alameda County Transportation Commission began plans to put a new measure -- B3 -- on the 2012 ballot, raising the sales tax to 1% and extending this new tax in perpetuity. Take out the "in perpetuity" clause measure and it might gain our support. Until then, this is a tax without an end or adequate accountability that we urge voters to reject.

Can Facelift Scars Be Successfully Covered with a Permanent Tattoo?
Doctor Answers 17
Can Facelift Scars Be Successfully Covered with a Permanent Tattoo?
If unsightly scars are still present after approximately a year's time, other things that your surgeon may consider are intralesional steroid injections, laser, or just surgical revision of the scar itself.
Hope that this helps! Best wishes!
Facelift scars should not require a tattoo for camouflage.
- the vast majority of facelift scars are practically inconspicuous. If the scar is worthy of coverage by a tattoo is probably also worthy of a scar revision.
Camouflage a facelift scar
Permanent tattooing of a facelift incision can help with color balance in the skin when there is dark pigmented skin and a very white scar. The tattoo only helps with a color balance to camouflage. There are other options such as hair transplantation, and scar revision if there is enough facial laxity to remove the old scars and placed the incisions in and more inconspicuous place without tension

It should not be necessary to tattoo the scars. Give them at least a year to a year and a half. the majority of face lift scars heal well. Continue to massage the scars and your results should improve. It may be possible for a scar revision to be done, so discuss this with your surgeon.. Good luck
Tattooing face lift scars should not be necessary after a facelift.
Tattooing face lift scars should not be necessary after a facelift. See a very experienced facelift surgeon to remove and close the incision in such a way that there's no need for tattooing.
How to hide facelift scars?
You shouldn't need to hide facelift scars if the procedure was done well. Of course, as everything in medicine, there are always exceptions. In my experience, tattoos to hide scars usually make the scars more apparent. I have had great results in repairing facelift scars for other surgeons using scar revision and hair transplantation to cover the scars.
Learn more: http://agulloplasticsurgery.com/scars/
If a facelift is done properly no treatment of the scars are needed. If the scar is wide a scar revision generally will give a very good cosmetic result. I have not heard of anyone doing a tattoo on a facelift scar. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Covering Facelift Scars with tatoo
Unless you are trying to hide the scars with an obvious tattoo (ala Mike Tyson) it is very difficult to "hide" a scar in this way. I would be very concerned about making things worse, or more visible. A lot would depend on your current skin tone and shade (keep in mind that if you spend time in the sun, that will change seasonally, while the tattoos will not). Make sure that you see a bunch of 'before and after' images of similar patients that also had tattoos, by whoever you are contemplating have do this. Scar revision (especially if not attempted yet) might be a better option. Good luck!
Correction of Facelift Scars
There are many reasons that facelift scars can be visible. Most of these have to do with a poorly done procedure or a post operative complication or wound healing problem. Tattoo is never indicated. The main reason for considering tattoo is color, either red or brown. Color can be treated with an IPL. Redness from an early scar (up to 6 months) can be treated with a little camouflage make-up. Another option is scar revision. Hypertrophic scars are treated with steroid injection.
Facelift scars
Depending on the time since your surgery, facelift scars may improve for a year and sometimes longer. If the scar is very wide, then revision or excision may be the answer. Deep fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing has been used to improve the appearance of scars including older facelift incisions. By injuring the scar with a laser, two things happen. First a portion of the scar is removed and secondly, local cells are recruited to help re-populate the scar with normal tissue

A "sleeper" awakes: tidal current power
Tidal currents are formed by the energy dissipated by the tides. These can be thalassic, estuarine or fluvial. There has been a growing interest to harness these currents and turn the energy into electrical power. The potential is considerable. The technology is in existence or adaptable. The sites are numerous, though as with most ocean energies, only a small fraction of the global potential could be converted. The paper provides a brief review of an area that has been scrutinized for more than quarter of a century.

Sanya, China (AFP) April 14, 2011
The United Nations should be impartial in the crisis in Ivory Coast, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Thursday, saying any move to exceed its mandate would set a dangerous precedent.
"The UN should mediate between the sides and under no circumstances help one of the sides," Medvedev told reporters after a summit with the leaders of Brazil, India, China and South Africa -- the so-called BRICS nations.
"We have rather serious questions for the UN leadership."
The United Nations has more than 9,000 troops and police in Ivory Coast, where internationally-recognised President Alassane Ouattara and his strongman predecessor Laurent Gbagbo have been locked in a power struggle for months.
Ouattara has now assumed office after Gbagbo was captured. UN and French forces had attacked positions of troops loyal to Gbagbo in a bid to destroy heavy weapons that were being used against civilians.
Medvedev acknowledged that both sides -- forces loyal to Ouattara and Gbagbo -- were responsible for the violence, so the UN should not choose a side.
"(UN) resolutions should be implemented, there should be no efforts to exceed the mandate. This is by the way a very dangerous tendency," the Russian president said.
Hundreds have been killed in western Ivory Coast after forces loyal to Ouattara swept through the country to the main city Abidjan earlier this month to oust Gbagbo, who had refused to admit defeat in a November vote.

Artists Profile
My love of texture is endless, whether it be in fabric, textile fibers, nature....it's all around us. And when pattern and color are woven, they melt together, becoming one again. I'm inspired by their depth and beauty. I'm most happy when creating new designs and most excited when I see something totally unrelated – and I'm able to transform that object or idea into my art.
Growing up in an artsy family, I learned to see beyond two dimensions, and a life of fantasy and creativity surrounded me. I believe we all have a capacity to connect with our inner self and find that wrinkle, that obscure place where nothing can stop us!
My interest in textiles and design began at an early age. So it seemed only natural that I would pursue an art degree. I chose Interior Design. I learned many art forms, including weaving and textiles, which became my favorites. After receiving a B.A. from Russell Sage College in New York, then owning my own interiors business for several years, I realized I was missing that creative time alone. So now I'm back to doing what I love most. Whether you're looking for a dramatic, formal look or fun and funky, I have it!
Another passion of mine is rescuing retired racing greyhounds. When purchasing a pillow, purse or wall art, you will also be helping a much-exploited breed find a better life. A portion of my profits go directly to finding greyhounds a loving home.
Living in beautiful Sarasota, Florida is very inspiring – an artist's paradise. I reside here with my husband and two wonderful greyhounds.

A Salt Lake City businessman will serve as many as 15 years in prison following his conviction in August on 20 felony child pornography counts.
D. Chris Robertson, 62, was sentenced Wednesday to a term of one to 15 years of prison time for each count. Sentencing judge Terry Christiansen ordered that the sentences run concurrently.
Robertson was the owner and manager of Sabol & Rice, an HVAC equipment supplier, according to the Utah Attorney General's Office. Members of the Utah Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) seized his computers in April 2009, finding 24,477 images and 386 videos containing child pornography. Robertson's employees reported him to law enforcement because they were disturbed that he was openly viewing child pornography on his computer, according to state prosecutors.
The U.S. Attorney's Office initially filed federal charges against Robertson two years ago, and he pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography. He was sentenced to probation and ordered to pay a $75,000 fine. That punishment did not ICAC prosecutors, who had hoped for a stiffer sentence that included jail time, according to Assistant Attorney General Paul G. Amann.
"Though this was one of the most disturbing cases I have seen in the ten years I have been prosecution ICAC cases, justice had not been served through the federal sentencing," Amann said in a statement released after the sentence was handed down Wednesday. "The state pursued this matter to bring Robertson to justice. Judge Christiansen sent a message today that the courts of this state will severely sanction those who sexually exploit children as Robertson did."
ICAC prosecutors filed 20 counts of child exploitation charges against Robertson in March 2011. On Aug. 15, he was found guilty of all counts after a bench trial before Christiansen.

MERCED, CA— In response to a demonstrated
need and as a public service in the interest of student and
community safety, Merced business Riggs Ambulance Service (RAS)
will sponsor a new, late-night service as a part of UC Merced's
CatTracks shuttle schedule on Friday and Saturday nights from 10
p.m. to 2 a.m. The extended "Nite Cat" service hours will provide
safe transportation back to the UC Merced campus following
late-night activities, serving local residential, dining and
entertainment locations. UC Merced students, faculty and staff can
ride CatTracks.
"This generous offer from RAS will improve options for our
students and help them interact with the rest of Merced in a more
convenient and satisfying way," said UC Merced Vice Chancellor for
Student Affairs Jane Lawrence. "We're very grateful and pleased
that RAS has been such a thoughtful friend in extending CatTracks
service at no cost to the university."
"RAS will pay the complete additional hourly costs of the
extended service, including vehicles, fuel and drivers," said Kraig
Riggs, owner of RAS. "We want to provide an alternative to
dangerous late-night driving for students on their way home from
movies, work, restaurants, bars or other locations. "
VIA Adventures, owned by another branch of the Riggs family, has
provided CatTracks service under contract to UC Merced since the
shuttle service began last fall. In the first semester, CatTracks
was especially important; several laboratory classes were held at
UC Merced's Castle facility since the facilities in the Science and
Engineering Building on campus were not yet ready.
The Science and Engineering Building and the Classroom and
Office Building are now open to serve UC Merced students. The
shuttle schedule has changed accordingly; it now runs from Castle
to campus every hour from 7 a.m. 6 p.m. It runs from campus to
Castle every half hour from 7:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m.
Campus officials have made a thorough review of the Cat Tracks
service to optimize its accessibility and usefulness for the campus
community. Other changes to the service include changing the
primary campus shuttle stop from Muir Pass to the front of the
Kolligian Library, a more convenient location for students, and
adding an Amtrak shuttle stop to the Monday - Friday evening
"D-Line" shuttle route.
The complete CatTracks schedule for the new semester, including
times for the Nite Cat loop donated by RAS, can be found at
the CatTracks Shuttle link on the left-hand side.

Please elaborate what makes the source linked from the article "clearly not credible". Do you claim there are no such false arrests, do you dispute that the presumption of guilt makes it incredibly hard for the accused to defend themselves, or do you speak from personal experience of being unable to take anyone standing close to you you on Japanese public transport to court with an accusation of indecent behaviour because Japanese society is ever so tolerant of that sort of thing? What, exactly …

And banning free speech is the way to combat degrading attitudes? Something tells me this is not going to be terribly successful.

Target: Fairfax County, Virginia Law Enforcement
Goal: Prevent a former zoo director who drowned an injured wallaby from ever caring for any other zoo animal
Recently, a wallaby was wrongfully drowned at Reston Zoo in Fairfax County, Virginia. The wallaby had suffered from an injury and the zoo director thought she would be "euthanizing" the animal by drowning it. Action must be taken to ensure that Meghan Mogensen, former zoo director of Reston Zoo, never comes into contact with any zoo animal again.
Parmesan, the wallaby that was drowned, sustained an eye injury from hopping around his enclosure. Staff members of the zoo believed that he would not survive his injury but Mogensen's father was the only individual that expressed interest in "euthanizing" the wallaby. Not long after, a former employee of the zoo found Parmesan's wet body in a trash bag in a dumpster. The former employee also found his crate next to a spigot and a bucket of water. An autopsy revealed that Parmesan's death showed signs that were consistent with drowning.
Mogensen was originally found guilty of two charges: animal cruelty and possession of an animal euthanasia drug without a license. She was able to appeal her case by pleading guilty to animal cruelty; the second charge against her was ultimately dropped. In addition, Mogensen was only sentenced to one month in jail. She is also banned from making decisions about the care or euthanasia of any animal if she serves as an animal caretaker or a manager of a zoo or sanctuary.
The punishment Mogensen received is unacceptable; this woman should not be allowed to ever work with animals again. The deal she was able to secure with prosecutors shows the terrifying reality that cases of animal cruelty are rarely taken seriously. Sign the petition below to demand justice for Parmesan and to urge Fairfax County Law Enforcement to prevent this woman from coming into contact with zoo animals.
Dear Fairfax County Law Enforcement,
I am appalled by the sentence Meghan Mogensen received for wrongfully drowning a wallaby. By pleading guilty to animal cruelty, Mogensen was able to reach a deal with prosecutors; the terms of this deal are greatly beneficial to her despite the crime she committed against Parmesan. Essentially, she received a small "slap on the wrist" for murdering a defenseless animal.
As a part of her deal with prosecutors, Mogensen is banned from making decisions about the care or euthanasia of any animal if she serves as an animal caretaker or a manager of a zoo or sanctuary. This is completely unacceptable. This woman should never be allowed to work with animals again given what she is capable of doing. Please take the action to place restrictions against Mogensen to prevent her from obtaining any position that allows her to come into contact with zoo animals.

Penguins notebook: Schultz connected to both Crosby, McDavid
NEWARK, N.J. — When defenseman Justin Schultz made his Penguins debut Sunday in New Jersey, he joined an exclusive club.
He has been a teammate of both Sidney Crosby and the player expected to someday take the torch from the Penguins captain as the face of the NHL, Edmonton rookie Connor McDavid.
Schultz said he sees some similarities between the two.
"I think their hockey sense is so much higher than everyone else," Schultz said after being traded to the Penguins on Feb. 27. "And their speed. Playing with Connor, it's amazing how fast he is, how quick he turns while he's stick-handling 100 mph. It's pretty remarkable. He's a special player, and now I'm looking forward to playing with the best player in the world."
For the record, the other players in the Crosby-McDavid club are Mark Letestu, Adam Clendening and Rob Klinkhammer.
Pouliot's place
In each of Derrick Pouliot's past nine games, the Penguins attempted more shots than their opponents when he was on the ice. That usually is an indicator that a player is in fine form.
Yet Pouliot found himself scratched Sunday to make way for Schultz's Penguins debut.
He wasn't surprised. Shortly after the Penguins picked up Schultz, Pouliot said he was expecting fierce competition for playing time among the team's defensemen.
"It's going to be whoever is playing consistent and whoever is playing well. That's what I imagine the coaching staff will do," Pouliot said. "You're going to have to be good every day and not take any time off."
Slump stopper
When it comes to stopping losing streaks, Evgeni Malkin has been a one-man gang for the Penguins this season.
Malkin has been in the lineup with the Penguins coming off a loss 25 times. In those games, he has 16 goals and 34 points.
Murray's numbers
The sample size is tiny — six games after a 17-save performance in a 6-1 win Sunday — but Penguins rookie Matt Murray has some of the best goalie numbers in the NHL.
Among goalies who have played more than one game this season, he ranks first in goals-against average (1.82) and second in save percentage (.934), trailing only reigning league MVP Carey Price.
"You probably have to get net-front traffic and second and third opportunities and make him move because he's so big and steady," Devils coach John Hynes said. "If you're straight on, one-on-one with him, he's a very difficult guy to score against."
Kostopoulos milestone
On Sunday, Baby Pens captain Tom Kostopoulos became the fourth player in hockey history to appear in 600 games in both the AHL and NHL.
The other three are Florida Panthers heavyweight Shawn Thornton, former Penguins defenseman Jim Morrison and former Boston Bruins center Dave Creighton.
Kostopoulos celebrated with three assists as Wilkes-Barre/Scranton beat Hershey, 5-4.
"He's the first guy on the ice. He's the last guy off the ice. He's a great mentor to young players. He loves people and he loves the game," said Hynes, who coached Kostopoulos in Wilkes-Barre from 2012-15.
"He's one of the few guys that you run across in your time that there's such passion for the game of hockey. He was born to be a hockey player."

Dandy is a magnificent gentleman - he is a kind, gentle ride with huge paces and a huge heart.
'Dandy' is our Gentleman, of Irish Draught x thoroughbred breeding, 17.1hh, and a good weight carrier, with really solid paces, and a long loping canter. He makes a really comfortable ride, wholly dependable, and very forward going. He has been with us since he was 9 months old, and only knows this home now, is very happy, content, and I cannot fault him as a riding horse. Very popular with our heavier riders with a good seat, up to 14stone. 'Dandy' and 'Sirrus' have always been partners since birth, having shared the same breeding field in North Devon!
He will always look after you, but at the same time he is scared of many monsters, and hates being on his own. During his agility sessions we are trying to help him overcome some of his scary moments as he has trained with Damien on a daily basis.
Dandy is an older horse, and everyone enjoys his company. Here you can enjoy some of the training sessions he has with Horse Agility, Stretching and Bending, and Playing in the field.
This is Dandy's Page. We invite you to follow his progress and watch him having fun too! We are looking forward to his progress over the next few months.
Dandy is currently barefoot, since November 2012, and after a sticky beginning he is now comfortable, and going well on all his road rides. We have just now begun off-road riding with him, and all is going well so far! We hope that this will continue throughout the season, as well as all the other horses are doing. (March 2013)
Barefoot Dandy
As soon as Dandy's shoes came off he took no notice whatsoever! After 3 weeks he suddently noticed that his feet hurt, so we went through several weeks of riding out in boots, and loads of gentle rides. He had fairly deep heel clefts, and a certain amount of residual soft tissue on his frogs which needed sorting out, but by May 2013 he was riding barefoot over the hills and trails.
November 2013
He is forward going, back to his great extended trot (faster than any of our other horses! and happily cantering along our regular woodland and moorland tracks. His frogs have hardened considerably since using diatomaceous earth and sulphur to dry them out, and no more sore feet! A great success story yet again for this mature horse!
October 2015
Dandy has had one of his best seasons ever, and did not have to miss a day's work during our busy month of August. he is striding up and down our challenging hills, and is never phased by the stones - he changes gait well, and still enjoys lovely grassy canters over the tops of the moors. We hope he will continue well into next year.

Using Spas to Ease Joints
Averting Joint and Muscle Pains
Suffering from joint and muscle pains can be stressful, especially for people who are packed with busy schedules. Sometimes, it's not enough to sleep at night or sit on a chair to rest. There are some ways to improve joint motion and lessen the inflammation that causes pains. These various therapies may not be the cure, but they normally help people cope and feel relieved from their body pressures.
Spa Therapy
Many people today are suffering from arthritis. Some think that joint and muscle problems are only experienced by elderly people. Little do they know that youngsters can suffer from them, too. One way to ease body pains and improve the condition of muscles and joints is through spa therapy. There are spa centres that use special spa chemicals and natural product combined in high-tech chemical mixers to make amazing componds, to help their clients detoxify and release stress factors faster.
More information on chemical mixers
When people hear Guaifenesin, they normally think of cough syrups sold in most pharmacies. Most are not aware that Guaifenesin is extracted from a tree called Guaiac. The natural chemical coming from this tree is called Guaiacum, which can also help people who are suffering from arthritic diathesis, and rheumatism. Its expectoration effect is just one of the benefits, but many therapists use Guaiacum bath soaks to help loosen up stiff muscles and provide relief to their patients.
Sulphur Mud Baths
Sulphur mud bath is also called Balneotherapy. During the ancient times, people would normally go to hot springs that are often found in places near volcanic craters. The sulphur found in volcanic rocks and soils emit sulphide, which enters the skin and improves blood circulation that reduces the build-up of elements in joints and muscles. Spas that offer Balneotherapy imitate the environment found in hot springs, to help people who are experiencing different levels of pain in their cartilages, tendons, and ligaments. The good thing about sulphide is that even if it improves blood circulation, it slows down the impulses that send pain signals to the brain.
Sea Salts
Many spas use sea salts in their Jacuzzis because of their proven therapeutic properties. The natural chemicals found in sea salts can remove stress and tension and at the same time prevent inflammation. About 1kg of sea salt mixed in a warm bath daily can help relieve sprains, muscle strains and other body pains that often cause immobility.
Additional Tips to Ease Joints
Apart from the chemicals that can be mixed and used in baths, it is important to avoid foods that cause joint inflammation and other similar health problems. It may also be necessary to visit a chiropractor or a homoeopathist to get necessary treatments, too. Chemicals used in most spas are intended to relieve common symptoms of arthritis and relieve body tensions, but are not intended to cure complex health concerns. With the help of professional therapists, it is easier to know what steps are necessary and what products should be used to alleviate the pains associated with arthritis and other joint problems.

A 22-year-old Falls Church resident was killed by a boat propeller in Dominica Saturday afternoon, police report.
The victim was identified as Casey Shulman, a fourth-year University of Virginia student. She was in the Caribbean island as part of the school's Semester at Sea program, though the accident occurred during a recreational boating trip that was organized indepedently of the school program, according to University of Virginia Vice President and Chief Student Affairs Officer Patricia Lampkin.
Shulman was swimming just off the beach in the west coast community of Mero -- where she and a group of other students had taken a trip -- when she was struck by a dive boat's propeller, according to Police Inspector Richmond Valentine. She was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The Associated Press contributed reporting.

Swimming world champion, 26, dies in Arizona
A 26-year-old world champion swimmer who was one of Norway's top medal hopes for the London Olympics died of apparent cardiac arrest after collapsing Monday night in the shower of his Flagstaff, Ariz., hotel room.
Alexander Dale Oen, who earned a silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics for the men's 100-meter breaststroke, was in Flagstaff with the Norwegian Olympic Swim team for high altitude training at the Wall Aquatic Center at Northern Arizona University.
Dale Oen had golfed with his roommates Monday afternoon, and they had returned to their hotel, where Dale Oen took a shower, according to the Flagstaff Police Department.

BLOG: Death saddens Eric Shanteau
A roommate told police he became concerned when Dale Oen was in the shower longer than usual. The roommates broke into the bathroom when Dale Oen didn't respond, police said.
Roommates found Dale Oen unresponsive in the shower, police said.
The team's doctor was called to the room and local emergency medical crews tried to resuscitate him. Dale Oen was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
The investigation is ongoing, but police say they see no immediate evidence of foul play.
An autopsy is expected to be conducted Tuesday afternoon.
The Norwegian swim team has been in Flagstaff for nearly three weeks to train. Five other international teams are training in Flagstaff, police said.
Sean Anthony, owner/managing director of Hypo2 Sports Management, was at the Flagstaff hotel to meet with Japanese running clubs when the ambulance and emergency vehicles arrived to treat Dale Oen.
"It was just surreal," Anthony said. "I just talked to him (earlier Monday) at the pool. Here's this vibrant, healthy human being about to go off to London where he was probably going to medal. Then that night he's dead. The incongruency there is so hard to wrap your mind around."
Anthony, former assistant director of the now defunct Center for High Altitude Training, said Dale Oen had been to more than a half dozen training camps in Flagstaff.
"He was a genuinely super guy, and you're so happy he's here. Regardless of his stature, he was such an approachable person," Anthony said. "He was coming back from an injury, and it seemed to all be clicking here."
University of Arizona swim coach Eric Hansen spent a week with Dale Oen in 2007 when he was in Norway for a speaking engagement.
"He was my tour guide," Hansen said. "He showed me around. I watched him train and spent a lot of time with him and his coach.
"What a great kid. He was one of the best athletes out there and a better person. This is a perspective check for everyone."
Hansen coaches some of the best breaststroke competitors in the United State including Marcus Titus, Kevin Cordes, Clark Burckle, Ed Moses, Adam Ritter and Kevin Munsch.
"When I'm talking to my breaststroke crew, his name was always on the tip of my tongue because I know what the guy is capable of," Hansen said.
"His training was very innovative. He trained dry land with a former gymnast and once a week they would literally run a mountain. He was into roller skiing and cross trained a lot. He made due with the facilities (in Norway) and never thought he was at a disadvantage."
Dale Oen's last post on Twitter on Sunday said, "2 days left of our camp up here in Flagstaff, then its (sic) back to the most beautiful city in Norway.. #Bergen." The swimmer is a native of Bergen, the second largest city in Norway.
An Olympic doctor traveling with the team said Dale Oen appeared to be in good health during the day Monday.
He had a light workout and went to physical therapy before going golfing, according to a translated press release form the Norwegian Swimming Federation.
The president of the Norwegian Swimming Federation, Per Rune Eknes, called Monday the worst day in the history of Norwegian Swimming in the translated press release.
Dale Oen earned his biggest triumph in the pool at last year's worlds in Shanghai when he won the 100 breaststroke, a victory that provided some much-needed joy back in Norway just three days after the massacre by right-wing extremist Anders Breivik that killed 77 people — including children at a summer camp.
Dale Oen dedicated the win to the victims of that massacre, pointing to the Norwegian flag on his cap after the finish to send a message back home.
"We need to stay united," he said after the race. "Everyone back home now is of course paralyzed with what happened, but it was important for me to symbolize that even though I'm here in China, I'm able to feel the same emotions."
Dale Oen was born on May 21, 1985, the second son of Mona Lillian Dale and Ingolf Oen.
He started swimming at 4, and said on his website that the sport "came very easy and natural for me."
He is the second high-profile athlete to die from cardiac arrest recently, after Italian soccer player Piermario Morosini collapsed on the field during a Serie B game for Livorno last month. That death came just a month after Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba also collapsed during a game but survived.
"It feels unreal that Alexander Dale Oen is no longer with us," Norwegian skiing champion Aksel Lund Svindal, the two-time overall world Cup champion, said on Twitter. "My thoughts go out to his family, friends and his whole team in Flagstaff."
Keri-Anne Payne, the 10-kilometer open water world champion from Britain, said: "Such sad news for swimming."

So why the interest in a long dead Venetian Poet and famous Tarfa? Well, she was called back from the grave in the 1998 film "Dangerous Beauty" - in part because she was an historical role-model for that whole new group of post-modern sexual performers and alt/sex personalities in San Francisco who claimed that their sex work made them members of the "creative class." A group that Elizabeth Bernstein describes so well in her book "Temporarily Yours."
Take a look for yourself here:
Veronica Franco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portrait by Jacopo Tintoretto.
Veronica Franco [1] (1546-1591) was a poet and courtesan in sixteenth-century Venice.
Life as a Courtesan
Renaissance Venetian society recognized two different classes of courtesans: the cortigiana onesta, the intellectual courtesan, and the cortigiana di lume, lower-class courtesans (closer kin to prostitutes today) who tended to live and practice their trade near the Rialto Bridge.[1] Veronica Franco was perhaps the most celebrated member of the former category, although Franco was hardly the only onesta in 16th-century Venice who could boast of a fine education and considerable literary and artistic accomplishments.
The daughter of another cortigiana onesta, Franco learned the art at a young age from her mother and was trained to use her natural assets and abilities to achieve a financially beneficial marriage. While still in her teens, Franco married a wealthy physician, but the union ended badly. In order to support herself, Franco turned to serving as a cortigiana to wealthy men. She quickly rose through the ranks to consort with some of the leading notables of her day and even had a brief liaison with Henry III, King of France. Franco was listed as one of the foremost courtesans of Venice in Il Catalogo di tutte le principale et piu honorate cortigiane di Venezia.
A well-educated woman, Veronica Franco wrote two volumes of poetry: Terze rime in 1575 and Lettere familiari a diversi in 1580. She published books of letters and collected the works of other leading writers into anthologies. Successful in her two lines of work, Franco also founded a charity for courtesans and their children.
In 1575, during the epidemic of plague that ravaged the city, Veronica Franco was forced to leave Venice and lost much of her wealth when her house and possessions were looted. On her return in 1577, she defended herself with dignity in an Inquisition for witchcraft trial (a common complaint lodged against courtesans in those days). The charges were dropped.
There is evidence that her connections among the Venetian nobility helped in her acquittal. Her later life is largely obscure, though surviving records suggest that although she won her freedom, she lost all of her material goods and wealth. Eventually, her last major benefactor died and left her with no financial support. Although her fate is largely uncertain, she is believed to have died in relative poverty. [2]
In 1565, when she was about 20 years old, Veronica Franco was listed in Il Catalogo di tutte le principale e pi� honorate cortigiane di Venezia, which gave the names, addresses, and fees of Venice's most prominent prostitutes; her mother was listed as the person to whom the fee should be paid. From extant records, we know that by the time she was 18, Franco had been briefly married and had given birth to her first child; she would eventually have six children, three of whom died in infancy.
As one of the pi� honorate cortigiane in a wealthy and cosmopolitan city, Franco lived well for much of her working life, but without the automatic protection accorded to "respectable" women, she had to make her own way. She studied and sought patrons among the learned. By the 1570s, she belonged to one of the more prestigious literary circles in the city, participating in discussions and contributing to and editing anthologies of poetry.
In 1575, Franco's own volume of the poetry was published, her Terze rime, containing 18 capitoli (verse epistles) by her and 7 by men writing in her praise. That same year saw an outbreak of plague in Venice, one that lasted two years and caused Franco to leave the city and to lose many of her possessions. In 1577, she unsuccessfully proposed to the city council that it should establish a home for poor women, of which she would become the administrator. By then, she was raising not only her own children but also her nephews, who had been orphaned by the plague.
In 1580, Franco published her Lettere familiari a diversi, "Letters written in my youth," which included 50 letters, as well as two sonnets addressed to King Henry III of France, who had visited her six years earlier. We have little information for her life after 1580. Records suggest that she was less prosperous in her later years but was not living in poverty. However, she published no more writings.
Franco's life was recorded in the book The Honest Courtesan, by author Margaret F. Rosenthal. It is claimed that this book "draws a compelling portrait of Veronica Franco in her cultural, social, and economic world. Rosenthal reveals in Franco's writing a passionate support of defenseless women, strong convictions about inequality, and, in the eroticized language of her epistolary verses, the seductive political nature of all poetic contests. It is Veronica Franco's insight into the power conflicts between men and women � and her awareness of the threat she posed to her male contemporaries � that makes her literary works and her dealings with Venetian intellectuals so pertinent today."[citation needed]
Film portrayal
Catherine McCormack portrayed Veronica Franco in the 1998 movie Dangerous Beauty (released as 'A Destiny of Her Own' in some countries), based on Rosenthal's book.
"When we too are armed and trained, we can convince men that we have hands, feet, and a heart like yours; and although we may be delicate and soft, some men who are delicate are also strong; and others, coarse and harsh, are cowards. Women have not yet realized this, for if they should decide to do so, they would be able to fight you until death; and to prove that I speak the truth, amongst so many women, I will be the first to act, setting an example for them to follow."

Our second monthly meeting is in the Decatur area on the evening of the second Sunday of the month, so we will have another chance to socialize and get to know each other better. The Decatur meeting will take place at the Thinking Man Tavern. It's a homey pub that should be relatively quiet on a Sunday night. Since it's in Decatur, it is a non-smoking location. This meeting will be hosted by Björn. Look for the meetup sign, or just the biggest group of relaxed and happy people. If you're coming on Marta, Thinking Man is about eight blocks from the downtown Decatur train station. Leaving the west entrance of the station, you go left on Commerce and follow it four blocks until it ends, then go right on Howard Ave to Atlanta Ave. There is also a bus stop right in front of the pub.
Jesus stinks.

OF ALL THE ugly incidents that haunted the AFL over the summer, it was the spectre of a teenaged rookie draftee handcuffed to a Carlton senior player as he drunk himself into a paralytic stupor on a pre-Christmas bonding expedition that tarnished the image of the game and a football club.
This might sound extreme in the context of alleged sexual assault, drunken violence and a drug trafficking charge, but the Blues' case pointed to a cultural malaise that was already all too evident. And it is the kind of football club anecdote that every parent of a teenager dreads.
The incident involving Andrew Lovett placed only the individual under scrutiny - and perhaps St Kilda's poor judgment in taking a chance on him - and no evidence has come to light to indicate that any other Geelong footballer apart from Matthew Stokes has an illegal drug issue.
But alcohol - too much of it - and discipline - the lack of it - had been a recurring punctuation mark for the Blues as their promising 2009 season petered out. Eddie Betts, Jeff Garlett and Cameron Cloke were suspended after a big night and missed a recovery session on the eve of the finals and the undermanned team was flogged by Adelaide in round 22 and lost its chance for a home final.
Then the Brisbane Lions came from behind to inflict a heartbreaking expulsion from the finals and Brendan Fevola, fresh from an atrocious Mad Monday which barely came to light, hijacked the Brownlow Medal and his career at Carlton with yet another disastrous binge session.
And just as no one stood up to Fevola on Brownlow night, no one appeared willing or able to intervene on behalf of the intoxicated Levi Casboult on the December boat trip. Nor did any senior player ensure that the likes of Betts was seen safely home. This, despite being a booze cruise designed to teach players to look out for each other.
This is why Chris Judd deserves to be scrutinised. As captain, he failed the club that day in December - even though he was not alone in being accountable - and every Carlton supporter should hope he realises this. It is not enough to walk away before the trouble starts. As one face of the ''Just Think'' campaign last September, Judd was part of a collective message from eight AFL captains to fight drunken violence. Part of that message was to look out for one's mates.
Every leader at Carlton, from the president and chief executive down to the media manager, failed in lacking the foresight to have Fevola removed from the Brownlow, but Judd was the leader on the boat and it is the job of leaders to lead by example on and off the field.
It is no longer an excuse to blame the club's glaring lack of experienced on-field lieutenants surrounding Judd, nor the fact he has always seemed a reluctant captain when the team turns social. Judd is a $1 million-plus footballer with a healthy third-party deal with Visy. Willingly or not, he fronted the club's Mars sponsorship announcement and when asked about his leadership said that he was still young. Not in football terms. Judd turns 27 this year and is entering his ninth AFL season.
As the club's on-field leader, he has been close to perfect despite his unfortunate suspension which could hurt his club in the early stages of 2010 and somewhat smart alec response to the whole pressure point farce. Two club championships out of two at Carlton and more than a handful of games won almost from his efforts alone would indicate an exemplary score.
You only have to look at the progress of Marc Murphy, Bryce Gibbs and Matthew Kreuzer - already prodigiously talented - to see how potentially brilliantly Carlton would fare as they mature and the undisciplined under-performers are weeded out. It is beyond doubt just how strongly Judd has influenced their preparation and their attitude to big-time football.
But that is no longer quite enough and Judd of all people should know this. He witnessed first hand how a successful club was cuckolded by drug and alcohol problems in the West and almost brought to its knees. When you are captain, it is not enough to simply stay out of trouble yourself.
Just over two months before the boat trip, Carlton let go its second best player largely because of his alcohol-related problems.
Clearly, the club saw a deficiency when it changed its leadership training model and enlisted Ray McLean's Leading Teams - an organisation that ran a training camp for Carlton in Sorrento in early December. Then came the booze cruise and what has followed, it must be said, has been some worrying mixed messages and too much defensive buck-passing.
One excuse for staging the boat trip was that it had been a regular fixture on the calendar for close to a decade. Another was that young Casboult was not force-fed alcohol and that the senior player handcuffed to him did nothing wrong. Interestingly though, no one is prepared to name that senior player and the man in question has not had the guts to publicly raise his hand.
Ryan Houlihan described the incident as a ''beat-up'' by the media. He added that the players realised that ''these days you can't just drink'' because ''there are so many people looking out for us''. Houlihan, caught in his underwear in an altercation with Crown security, said he had been ''in the wrong place at the wrong time''.
The suspended trio of Betts, Houlihan and Walker could be back playing practice matches should the Blues fail in round one of the NAB Cup and therefore well eligible for round one proper.
Houlihan, who clearly has no understanding of the meaning of accountability, is the club's longest-serving player and yet is no chance to be part of any club leadership group in 2010. That is a start, as was Judd's comment that words were meaningless unless the playing group actually achieved atonement by changing its behaviour.
Hopefully for Carlton and the premiership clock that Brett Ratten claimed at the end of 2008 would be well advanced come 2010, the leadership mentoring is starting to have an affect. Hopefully, president Stephen Kernahan, Carlton's longest-serving captain, is playing a more active role in the leadership area. Any change must come from the top.
It has been a good week for the Blues with a new major sponsor and the relaunch of its long-time and now impressively appointed home.
Now, for Chris Judd, one of the game's greatest-ever players, a new season cannot come quickly enough. Unfortunately for him - and for his football club - that will not be until until round four.

Newfoundland and Labrador's new $7.8-billion budget forecasts a third straight deficit and mounting debt but offers voter-friendly spending across the education, social and health sectors.
The fiscal blueprint tabled Thursday sprinkles new cash across a broad spectrum from all-day kindergarten to more support for students, seniors and low-income families.
It was swiftly dubbed an election budget by Liberal and NDP opposition leaders who say they expect the majority Progressive Conservative government to hit the campaign trail as early as this fall.
Finance Minister Charlene Johnson played down those assumptions.
"It's a budget that shares the wealth that we are currently seeing in the economy," she told a news conference before delivering the budget.
"And as the premier said when he was sworn in, we need to share that wealth and do more around social justice."
It's Ms. Johnson's first budget since former finance minister Tom Marshall was sworn in as premier Jan. 24. He replaced Kathy Dunderdale, who resigned amid questions about her leadership, but is not running to remain in the job.
A new Tory leader will be chosen July 5 in St. John's. Under provincial law, an election must be called within 12 months after the new premier is sworn in.
Ms. Johnson played down questions about whether the budget lays the groundwork for a coming campaign. Opposition critics, for example, have long pushed the Tory government to make good on promised early learning programs.
The new budget commits $35.4-million to enhance such services and offers all-day kindergarten starting in September, 2016.
Over all new spending is up a restrained 2.1 per cent from last year, Ms. Johnson said. It includes salary increases for government workers and $50.6-million over five years to convert provincial student loans into grants.
Ms. Johnson said moves to reduce student debt, freeze tuition for another year and increase low-income supports all reflect concerns raised in pre-budget consultations.
For the third straight year, however, the budget dips into the red and will see the province borrow $1-billion – the first time since 2005 it has had to do so. The budget forecasts a deficit for 2014-15 of $538-million.
Cash reserves that have helped cover recent budget shortfalls have dwindled as the province helps finance the $7.7-billion Muskrat Falls hydro project in Labrador.
Liberal Leader Dwight Ball blasted the government as incompetent money managers.
"A billion dollars in borrowing in a 'Golden Age,'" he scoffed, referring to a phrase used by Mr. Marshall as finance minister to describe the province's unprecedented economic growth.
"Really, what this government has done is taken out the kids' credit card in preparation for, I believe, an election."
The budget predicts a return to the black in 2015-16 with a surplus of about $28.5-million. It is anchored with a predicted price of oil of $105 (U.S.) a barrel, a key figure in a province that relies on the offshore oil sector for one-third of its revenues. For each dollar the projected price is off, the treasury gains or loses about $30-million (Canadian), Ms. Johnson said.
The budget also includes a hike of almost $808-million in net debt to a total of $9.8-billion in 2014-15. That's down from a high of almost $12-billion in 2004 but is climbing as unfunded public pension liabilities now account for almost 75 per cent of net debt.
Ms. Johnson said talks are under way with business and union leaders toward a negotiated solution. The answer may include increased pension contributions, reduced benefits or a combination of both, she said.
But what's clear is that the mounting cost of government retirement plans is now the biggest fiscal challenge, Ms. Johnson said.
"Everybody needs to be a part of this because it's the most significant financial issue facing our province."
Sharon Horan, chairwoman of the St. John's Board of Trade, said the government should lead by example.
"We need them very quickly to come out and modify their own pension plan," she said in an interview. "They need to show the unions that they're willing to modify what they're getting before we ask every pensioner to modify the plan as well."
Ms. Horan urged the government to act quickly.
"We need to rectify a problem that's just raging out of control right now."Report Typo/Error

Morgan Creek has hired Jeff Sank and the Heimberg brothers to write "Ace Ventura Jr." screenplay.
Getting serious to bring out the third installment of the comedy hit franchise "Ace Ventura" to the surface, Morgan Creek has positively assigned Jeff Sank along with brothers Jason and Justin Heimberg to pen the script of the project titled "Ace Ventura Jr.."
Though details of the film's plot has not yet been revealed, the picture is expected to take center on Ace Ventura's son who follows the trails of his father and takes over the family business. Meanwhile, it is still unclear whether Jim Carrey, who played Ventura in the two previous installments, is back to fill in the role once again.
Sank and The Heimbergs recently teamed up on "Unnatural History", a Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer production. They also penned together "Iguanas" for John Williams and Vanguard Entertainment.

Has anyone managed to do mini-dv tape capturing using a mid2010 iMac (through the fw800) flawlessly?
The issue im having is a strange one, one that i do not know if its either the FWs fault, the iMacs or the cameras (SonyTRV33)!
Im capturing through the PremiereCS5pro capture dialogue box and without knowing or understanding why, the capture ends (2-3 times) forcing me to save multiple video files from my tapes footage!
Any knowledge on why this happens or what can i do to fix it?

You either need fw400 > fw400 or (camera) fw400 > Thunderbolt. These are the only combinations that work.
fw400 > fw800 don't work right, huh?
what symptoms does it have though, so i can be certain if its either the cameras fault or the ports!
