the VISs (criticized by some as being too simplistic and not inclusive enough) and the vaccine package inserts, which may have too much technical information for some people to understand and process effectively. To bridge the gap, it was suggested that vaccine risk communicators consider preparing intermediate messages about vaccine risks and benefits that have more detailed information than the VISs but that are less technical than the package inserts. The package inserts might also be reorganized so as to be more accessible to consumers.
Another possibility is an interactive or computerized information system, in which users can access the level of information that is appropriate for their needs and abilities. Such a system was developed by researchers at Ohio State University and the Mayo Clinic (Raman et al., 1996). The system was arranged in a hierarchical fashion with five levels of increasingly complex information, all written at an eighth-grade reading level. The system was tested in a middle-class medical practice, and although 13 percent of the parents declined to participate, there was great variability in the level of information requested by those parents who did participate. Those who agreed to use the system expressed a high degree of satisfaction with it (Ramen et al., 1996).
Several speakers and audience participants suggested that vaccine risk communications include references to the scientific literature, so that readers who question the information presented or who wish to know more can examine the original source for each statement. It was also suggested that all the evidence regarding a specific topic be presented, including information that does not support the position of the person or organization conveying the information.
As discussed previously, many participants noted that there is often uncertainty about estimates of the risks of vaccines. This uncertainty reflects the generally low risks of serious adverse consequences; if the risks were high, the product would not have been licensed. To promote effective risk communication, several speakers and participants felt that risk messages should acknowledge the uncertainty about the existence and magnitude of many of the potential risks associated with vaccines, with the inclusion of estimates of the incidence of the better-defined risks to the extent possible. A risk communications expert added that "in almost every policy forum that I can think of, the ultimate conclusion has been that it is essential for good public policy to communicate uncertainty, even if it is difficult." She suggested that vaccine risk communications include statements regarding what assumptions were made to define risk estimates and whether there is consensus among various groups of experts and the public about the accuracy or uncertainty of the estimates provided.
Other participants suggested that it be emphasized in vaccine risk communications that research is under way to improve understanding of those risks. A CDC representative suggested that much of the problem is inherent in the gaps in knowledge identified in previous IOM reports (1991, 1994a, 1994c), and

Been quite some time since I posted to a list ,
but I couldn't resist..
sockz/verb wrote:
Do these flowcharts NOT resemble an almost identical model to |trickle
down economics" or basic human sociology ??
( refer to whatever sociology, journalism or history fodder they spoon
feed you @ your local thought and consent manufacturing .edu these days
for a primer)
I think here is a place to stomp out the "politics don't belong on
full-disclosure" whining from the list by making a contextually apprope'
comparison. If you do not add government control (or lack thereof) over
communication protocols and their direct, co-relative legal and political
counterparts in THE REAL WORLD to the equation, you are only lying_to_
yourself. Only when we fully realize all factors in this arena can we
effectively take action towards some sort of mutually agreeable
reformation process.
/* Begin Criticism
There are a lot of bad people out there. People who spoil the fun for
everyone.We need to design ways of transmitting information about security to
people who can _improve_ security and NOT destroy it. Otherwise the
entire system fails.
/* Bad_People_Rant
Who exactly are the "bad people" you speak of ?
a) Are they dot-slashers who mass-deface and send "Sh0u7z 70 411 m4h
p47n4z" , and do no truly tangible damage besides harming the reputation
of the prey usually? Yes, this can add up to $ if the prey has built its
name on some sort of security reputation , but this is the exception to
the rule.
You could also retort for commerce driven sites who scream outrageous
and farcical revenue losses due to existing or future consumer base
mistrust of online financial transactions but:
i) The big 3 CC companies have made it very well known that they have
the consumers "back" on electronic purchases with well-crafted
media campaigning.
ii) If you look at the hard data , e-commerce fraud is a minute
portion of the big 3's yearly deficit reports. ( see friend edgar and
iii) Premium adjustments ( raising of insurance rates) after a system
compromise are not_that_bad.
b) Is it the blackhat movement: who code, compromise and reside on
systems in on and about the www ? Wait a sec.... I thought you were for
that. Please clarify on which side of the fence you reside because you are
beginning to taste a little luke-warm.
c) The nice folks who would force hardware vendors to manufacture a
universal, mandatory firmware backdoor for their systems to keep us all
(see 107th Congress 2nd Session s.2048)
I have a local copy at http://www.tinfoilhat.org/s.2048.html
Myself , I consider quantity (c) "bad people" , and quantity (a)
a minor annoyance at best.
/* End Rant
To abrubtly CONCLUDE, I'd like to SUMMARISE with my MAIN POINTS:
As would I.
I realize that one person cannot assume the voice of a group ,
purpose or ideal , but when disseminating opinion of this nature I would
suggest a group consensus of some sort lest one opinion be misperceived
as mission statement.
I truly enjoyed several of your arguments and thought processes on this
list , as well as your charming chivalry with the pen , but this seems to
be some kind of 180 unfortunately.
I very much support anti-whitehat activities and the dissolution of the
"security industry" in its current incarnations.
1. I make cute ascii diagrams, doncha think?
Yes you do. I hope you don't mind me taking a little liberty with the
2. We need to place better control measures in the following areas:
a) What moderators consider to be "acceptable" advisories
b) On whitehat websites that provide proof of concept code
c) Lists in general, because they are read by evil ppl and not
just good
3. The security industry is getting a bad name for itself because of
money grabbing "security consultants" and participants who leech
information to be used for malicious activities. We need
to find a way to remove these kinds of people from the system.
Ban human nature?
Perhaps a verichip mod that curbs greed mechanism in human lizard brain?
Perhaps you also support the Human Genome Project.
So what am I calling for here?
A new industry standard for operating business?
But like the phoenix, she must be burned before rebirth.
Tighter cyber-laws for websites that seem to tell ppl "how to hack"?
Pardon my sarcasm , but war on info sec does not have to = dissolution of
This is always a bad idea. ( see: a young, vibrant book-burning National
Socialist Germany in 1938)
Computers and the internet were created to communicate and experiment.
We have
turned them into vehicles for profit and malicious intent. As long as we
supporting and communicating to those people who are destroying our
society, we
are communicating our _consent_ for them to continue making things worse.
You say "information wants to be free", but whats the point in releasing
something into the wild if its going to be captured and trained to rape
and >pillage?
I somewhat agree with the sentiment here , but based on a majority of this
writing , I question your judgement on who the people "destroying our
society" truly are.

Wow kenyans are just beginning to emerge also in field events.
This morning Yego threw 80.88m to qualify as 8th best
Last year in an interview he said to have learned the technique watching youtube videos.. He trains alone in Kenya, just give him a proper coach and he's going to rule the world champs
|El Keniano
Stupid BBC announcers said he's not built like other Kenyans. Have they ever been? We're not all skinny, you know.
|rupp-certified saladbar
BBC announcers (at least Brandon Foster) continue to amaze with stupidity this meet. Kenyans come in every size and shape. Thinking they're all thin is like thinking all Brits are just because you've seen that their distance runners are.
|Peter Andersson
Already happened as he learned the final ropes in Finland last year: "After two months of training at the IAAF-accredited centre in Kuortane, Finland, Yego returned to Kenya in April 2012 and threw a new record of 79.95 m."
|Carribbean sport physiologist
At 175 cm? That would be something this world has never seen. But with regard to the decline of the javelin during the last 15 years, and the good "doctors" that Kenyans have in the remote mountains, well, having a Kenyan in the javelin final is obviously possible.
|Carribbean sport physiologist
Btw, the guy is 30th in this year's list.
I think this one went unnoticed yesterday ;)
Finally the Kenyans have someone to look up to that's not SCRAWNY but actually looks like a real man. Awesome.
|The other guy!
Considering there was no testing in Kenya until last year, it was possible to get big, even for a Kenyan.
|Lamine Big Dick, the big boss
Who cares about doping in Kenya and Ethiopia? At least, we have more diversity in athletics and some nations start to turn the physiology of some events upside down, which is just exciting. The lazy sports scientists will now have to get off their asses and resolve this mystery.
|Lamine Big Dick, the big boss
Nilotic groups are actually one of the least variable humans on the planet. Their body types range between extremely skinny and skinny. The taller they are, the lighter they are. (Bergmann's rule.)
|Ben L. Wrong
What happened with the Kenyan HS high jumpers?
I think most people's image of a Kenyan is those they see running. Basically, most peoples image of Kenyans is that of a Kalenjin and the they assume since the know one they, know the other 41 tribal groups!
This is a new Kenyan (former rugby player) recruit to the NFL.
First we came for the Steeplechase.
Then we came for the mile.
Then we came for the marathon....
Now, we are coming for the javelin.....
and we will not rest until we take the hammer and the pole vault.
ha ha ha!
okay, I am kidding.
|El Keniano
The Rugby Sevens squad is arguably the most popular national team in Kenya (at least amongst city folk).
|El Keniano
Tiny Tecla Lorupe with the rugby team.
|Peter Andersson
More important question: Why are there no Jamaican Long Jump medalists?
That Kenyan dude would be cross fit world champ, not that it matters because the nfl is better but I was like sh*t that guy is ripped and huge ( no homo)
I guess the some kenyan tribes are stronger, some are faster,
For your information, Yego comes from running tribe...specifically from Kipchoge Keino, Bernard Lagat, Noah Ngeny tribe, The Nandi...
|John O'Donnell
I ask this question at least half seriously, and congratulate you on your nation's great athletic successes: When are you coming to take the race walks? They seem to be the preserve of non Africans.

Gluten Free Dairy Free GMO Free
Buy Now
Nuzest Clean Lean Protein nutritional supplement is protein in its purest form - all natural with virtually no allergens. It's 100% vegetable yet has all the potency (and then some) of other proteins - without the fillers, artificial flavors and other additives. And it's a complete protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids.
Available in 4 great flavors, Clean Lean Protein is free from common allergens like gluten, dairy, nuts and soy; and contains no genetically modified ingredients (GMOs), additives or preservatives. Unlike many proteins on the market, ours has a smooth texture and a sought-after taste.
We all know that protein supplements have enormous benefits, but many come with hidden minuses like added sugar, preservatives, or digestive upsets.
That's why we developed Clean Lean Protein - a 100% vegetable protein isolate that's big on benefits and offers an alternative to dairy, soy and whey-based products.
Sourced from European Golden Peas, Clean Lean Protein has up to 90% protein content, is low in fat and easy to digest, so you can enjoy it daily. Super-charged with all the essential amino acids your body needs and a pH of 7.8 (alkaline), Clean Lean Protein is the ultimate supplement for those who lead healthy lifestyles and are discerning about what they put in their body.
Protein is essential to the recovery and repair of tissue and muscles – but it also supports energy levels and weight control, and even plays a part in our mood. It's vital to kids' growth and development, and for adults who want to look, feel and perform their best.
Insufficient protein can lead to all kinds of problems; from muscle wastage, lack of strength and lethargy; to dry skin, bloating, poor digestion and irritability. Serious depletion can lead to long term physical and mental health issues.
Protein helps repair damaged muscles and tissue
The building blocks of life; vital to the growth and development of children
It's not just for muscles; your hair skin and nails also depend on protein
Essential to every cell in your body, protein is a source of energy
Clean Lean Protein is sourced from the world's only alkaline protein supply
According to our health advisors Clean Lean Protein is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding and may help provide some of the additional protein requirement during this time. However, every individual is different and may have specific requirements or a need for special for caution so we always advise women who are pregnant or breast feeding to seek independent advice from their health practitioner first.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) based on an efficiency of protein utilization of 42%, an additional 1, 9 and 31 g/day protein in the first, second and third trimesters, respectively, are required to support 13.8 kg gestational weight gain.
Clean Lean Protein contains no MSG and none is created during manufacturing and processing.
This will all depend on the length of your workout, what your workout consisted of and what sex you are. It is best to consume protein within the first 30 minutes of exercising
Clean Lean Protein ™ has a number of advantages over whey:- It is highly alkaline.This helps the body to avoid problems of excess acidity (such as the potential for increased muscle and bone tissue loss in order to 'buffer' the blood.)- Clean Lean Protein™ is higher in BCAAs and glutamine than WPC. - It is a truly vegetarian protein source. Most whey protein is not because it's a by product of cheese making, in which they use rennet - an animal product - to separate the whey from the curds that provide the base for cheese. - It is more sustainable. Getting quality protein from vegetable sources is less input and resource intensive than dairy farming...so it's better for the planet too!
The general rule is that if you focus on quality of nutrition, the quantities of what you eat will be less important. Stick to a diet that is almost entirely (80%+) natural, whole, unprocessed foods and you really can't go wrong. Recognising that everyone is different we are loathe to suggest a "one size fits all" diet. Please check out some of the nutritional articles on this site for more guidance, or contact one of our recommended practitioners.
Glutamic acid (and glutamine) are amino acids that have nothing functionally in common with MSG (monosodium glutamate). The glutamate portion of MSG is the same amino form, but the functional characteristics of MSG are because of its combined nature. Glutamic acid does not have the same properties or effects.
Thanks for asking this question. Phenylalanine is actually an essential amino acid and a component of every complete protein source.You may be thinking of the artificial sweetener Aspartame. Aspartame is created from phenylalanine and aspartic acid. Phenylalanine and aspartame are quite different compounds. For the record: we don't use aspartame to sweeten our products.
The answer is yes and no. Whey is derived from milk and it CAN be vegetarian (as it is derived from dairy it is obviously not vegan). However much of the whey that we get comes originally from the cheese making process and often involves the use of rennet (a complex of enzymes from a cows stomach) as a separation agent. Therefore whey is often not vegetarian. The only way to be sure is to look for the vegetarian society seal of approval on your whey to be sure that it is made from an acid or microbial rennet extraction process (or get an assurance from the manufacturer that they don't use whey from the cheese making process). Clean Lean Protein™ is every bit as good as whey and has higher levels of glutamine, BCAAs, is alkaline...and you can rest assured that it is 100% vegetarian, 100% of the time!
Whole eggs are a great source of protein. Neither Clean Lean Protein™ or eggs could be considered "better", however Clean Lean Protein™ protein offers some specific benefits: 1 Whole egg contains around 6g of protein. The protein is highly bioavailable and has a PDCAAS (protein digestibility amino acid score) of approximately 0.9+. Our Clean Lean Protein™ has a PDCAAS of around 0.98 (slightly higher than whole eggs) but offer the advantage of being highly alkaline and are isolated proteins, meaning that they can be used to simply and effectively bolster protein without other factors (such as fat content) having to be taken into consideration. Clean Lean Protein™ is also more convenient and less messy in smoothies and shakes, making it a great option for those easy meals "on the go".
Both the ingredients used and the manufacturer of Clean Lean Protein comply with Kosher practices.
Yes. Clean Lean Protein is certified gluten free.
Yes Clean Lean Protein is Paleo friendly. The natural enzymatic isolation process effectively removes the phytates, lectins and trypsin inhibitors leaving a highly digestible protein free of the problems associated with legumes.
The peas used in Clean Lean Protein are a vegetable source and the natural flavorings are plant derived, making Clean Lean Protein Vegan/Vegetarian friendly.
The natural fruit protein in Clean Lean Protein is from a West African Fruit called Thaumatin. It is a protein but is classed as a natural sweetener. Thaumatin digests in your body like any other protein and is safe for people with fructose intolerance.
The fruit protein in Clean Lean Protein is derived from a West African plant called the Katemfe Fruit, also known as Thaumatin. Thaumatin is a protein but classified as a natural sweetener. It is digested in your body just like any other protein.
The Vanilla flavour in Clean Lean Protein is from the Bourbon Vanilla Bean. Bourbon vanilla beans come from the orchid V. Planifoli
Our body requires a finely controlled pH level in the blood and other fluid. Often our diet in the modern world is acidic and causes an increase in acidity in the blood which then needs to be buffered. The body buffers blood by breaking down bone and muscle tissue to free up 'basic' (alkaline) compounds. There is also increased risk of insulin resistance and other metabolic disorders when there is even a sub-clinical level of chronic metabolic acidosis. Good Green Stuff™ (and Clean Lean Protein™) help to rectify this imbalance by providing an influx of highly alkaline compounds.
The World Health Organisation advises that a healthy adult requires 0.83grams of protein per 1 kg of body weight per
day. If you are pregnant, breast feeding, or exercising, health professionals suggest much more.
To boost your protein intake, simply add two scoops (25g) of Clean Lean Protein into a shaker of water, and shake. For a sweeter tasting option, try shaking Clean Lean Protein with milk (oat or almond is best) or coconut
water, and enjoy.

Dear Friends, Nov. 9, 2012
Praise God for a wonderful week of ministry here in Guatemala. Thank you for your prayers last Friday. The graduations at the Life and Hope school were very special seeing the students receive their diplomas and achieve their goals. It was also a special time to say goodbye as I have decided to work full time in the Jeremiah Project next year. I will teach Bible and art activities, head up international relations with groups and the sponsorship program we started this year, as well as fundraising, accounting and hopefully start a nutrition program. Can you see why I felt a need to dedicate more time to the Jeremiah Project? I look forward to see what God has in store for 2013.
Speaking of the Jeremiah Project, the field trips last Friday and today to the swimming pools went very well. Praise God! Once again many thanks for the swimsuit donations. Also, the teacher workshops this week went exceptionally well. Praise God. The teachers were very receptive and there was great participation.
Some of you might have heard about the 7.2 earthquake on Wednesday. Wow, it was huge! The epicenter was off the pacific coast of Guatemala about 170 km from Antigua. We are fine without anything more than a good scare, but those closer to the epicenter are suffering. The newspaper announced three days of mourning for the families of the 52 who died and the 17,000 affected. It also said that 7 departments of Guatemala (department is similar to our state) were in a state of calamity. Please pray for those is distress, and the help effort already taking place.
The Jeremiah Project closes down for the ¨summer¨ break in mid-November but before we do, we celebrate Christmas early. Each year the Jeremiah Project has given a Christmas gift to each child in the program. With over 65 kids this year it will be a challenge! If someone would like to make a special donation towards the Christmas Gifts please make an online donation at www.hopetransformation.com and click on Donate in the menu.
Normally in October and November we are looking for tickets to return to California. However, this year, we got a great deal early in the year for our flights! Praise God! But without the flight searching, I am almost in shock that Josué and I have only 2 more weeks here in Guatemala before our flight to California. I can hardly believe it! I ask for your prayers for these last weeks of getting everything done that needs to be taken care of this year here in Guatemala and also for safe travels. We will be staying at my parents house so if you would like to get together or arrange a speaking engagement, please email us or call us at 562-926-6269. Thank you so much for your faithful support. We couldn´t be here without you. Many blessings to you and we hope to see many of you soon.

Dear Friends, Nov. 2, 2012
Today is a very special day! The Life and Hope school graduations are today as well as the second of three field trips to the swimming pools for the Jeremiah Project kids! Praise God!!! AND our friend Naomi is moving into a house to start her home for special needs kids! Our God is awesome! The past two weeks have been very eventful as well. Check out the long and short updates! God bless you guys!!!
· Praise God for swim suit donations! The first group of Jeremiah Kids to the pools couldn´t be happier swimming around in actual swim suits instead of clothing. CHECK OUT HECTOR IN THE PHOTOS.
· We had our first graduation from 6th of a Jeremiah Project kid! Carlos finished his elementary education in 3 years! Praise God!
· We had kite making and flying activities at the Jeremiah Project.
· The Stamps Foundation has given us a grant for a truck for the Jeremiah Project and school supplies! PRAISE GOD! Thank you Stamps!
· Next week, Nancy will be doing some teacher workshops at the Kairos school.
This long version won{t be too long because I need to run off to the Graduations at the Life and Hope school, but I wanted to send out the update so you could pray for both the graduations and Jeremiah Project field trip going on right now!! Also, to thank you for the bathing suit donations everyone out there that donated because the simple act of donated your old used bathing suit made a huge difference in the lives of the kids that had to swim in full typical clothing or pants and a shirt or little hector that didn´t even have underwear to swim in, so he tied his sweater around his waist!!! Check out the photos!!! By the way, the 3 trips are with different kids because we have more kids than will fit in our ´´11´´ seater van. Ha ha ha. We estimate about 15-20 kids per trip.
Carlos couldn´t be prouder to graduate from 6th grade. We are also so proud of him who didn´t even speak Spanish when he immigrated to Antigua looking for work with his family. He only spoke a Mayan language. Now he not only can speak Spanish but read and write it as well. Praise God!
This time of year is kite flying season so the Jeremiah Project wasn`t the exception. We bought the reeds and tissue paper and went to town making kites. I personally have never made my own so I needed the kids to teach me and then join me in helping the other kids in making their own. It was great fun both in making and flying our kites. I will send those photos later.
We requested a grant to provide the funds for a truck for the project like I had mentioned in prior emails and also for the school supplies for the upcoming school year in January. We are very happy that grant was approved and now we are in the process of purchasing the truck and school supplies. Please pray we can find and buy a good truck to serve the needs of the project.
Lastly, Nancy will be giving two teacher workshops next week at the Kairos school. Last year, she had given some and this year they have asked her back to share with the group of teachers. The goal of the workshops is to help teachers not only teach subject matter well but incorporate our faith and values so that the students may mature not only academically. Those workshops are Monday and Thursday. Please pray that the Holy Spirit leads and that the teachers can put to practice what they learn.
I got to run. Thank you so much for your support and prayers. We are so very grateful. It is exciting to see how God uses us all in different ways to fulfill his plans! It is truly amazing to be part of his work. Thank you for being part of that here in Guatemala through your prayers and support. God bless you,
Nancy and Josue Lemus

Dear Friends, Oct. 15, 2012
Greetings from Guatemala. Praise God for His many blessings and all that He has been doing here in Guatemala. Thank you for joining in His work thorugh your prayers and support. Here are the short and long updates.
*Josué preached at a Youth Conference at Nebaj.
*Life and Hope School year has ended!!!
*Today a group of Jr. Highers left for the first ever life and hope School mission trip!
*We celebrated Kid´s day on Oct. 1st.
*Jeremiah Project Kids got new toothbrushes!
*Josué was walking with cane but now is hobbling along on his own.
*Josué went to Xela to report his story about the stolen truck.
*Rob Hastings was here for a week helping short term volunteer Brian settled.
*We saw Catalina in the Orphanage.
*Diego, from the Jeremiah Project, is investing in selling toys for Christmas.
Wow, with 10 bullet points you can see how it´s been busy lately. On Sept. 29th, we traveled the 6 hours to Nebaj so Josue could preach at a Youth Conference. It was well worth the drive as 15 youth made first time decisions as well as others rededicated their lives to Christ. Praise God!
The Life and Hope school finished up final exams last week and today their first every mission team headed out for Escuintla. All year a group of Jr Highers have been participating in a group called ¨leaders to serve¨ and this week they are serving their fellow Guatemalans providing water filters and ministry as a mission trip. This is the first mission trip the school has ever had and is really exciting. Missionary groups have come to serve the students on many occasions but now the students are the ones going out and serving! Praise God!
Kid´s Day is on Oct. 1st and we celebrated at both the Life and Hope school and the Jeremiah Project. This year at the Jeremiah Project, we had 5 Guatemalan volunteers come out and play games, paint faces and a must for every kid´s day celebration, a piñata!!! Josue was using a cane at this time, but that didn´t stop him from joining in on the fun playing soccer. He would use the cane to stop the ball claiming it counted as a leg! He now has stopped using the cane but still is unstable. Please continue to pray for his recovery!
Josue had another long drive to go to Xela where the pick up we purchased was stolen. Josue had to go to make an official report. He took advantage of the trip to take Maria and Angela, two of the Jeremiah Project young ladies that study on the weekends. They had never traveled outside Antigua so it was a special blessing for them to go. God uses all things for the good. My family has been asking if Josue´s name has been cleared. Unfortunately, it is a long process and our lawyer says that before we go to the states, we need to inform them so they aren´t surprised. It appears there won´t be any problem to leave.
We had a great time last week with Rob Hastings, a good friend and former missionary here in Antigua. He pastors a church in Big Bear, CA and accompanied a member of his church, Brian down to help him get situated. Brian is still here and will stay another week. His trip was to look into the possibility of a 3-6 month missionary trip in the future. Pray God leads and uses Him now and in the future. He is currently volunteering at the Jeremiah Project. He mentioned working at an orphanage so we have taken him to visit the ones we know about. Upon one of these visits, Catalina ¨just happened¨ to be in the orphanage´s patio and saw us. Josue has been wanting to visit her for some time but the judge hasn´t approved his visit yet. This was a sweet God appointment was precious. Catalina is struggling with the rules and behaving. She is not used to having limits and doesn´t want to be there but we know she is safe and will not be abused there. Next year there will be a court hearing to decide if Catalina will return to her mom or stay in custody. We ask you to join us in praying she will remain in a safe place where she can learn and grow without being abused.
This last part is a story written by Josue about Diego.
One of the most curious things that happened this month was in the life of Diego.
At the beginning of the year, looking to improve the health of Wendy, who drank a soda every day, I convinced her to save 1 Quetzal (Guatemalan currency, Q7.50=$1) a day. So that with the 3 Quetzales her mom gave her each day she would only spend 2. At first many of the other kids laughed at hearing that Wendy saved a quetzal each day, because its more or less an insignificant amount.
I remember one day her mom only gave her 2 Quetzales and she told me she was not going to leave money that day. I told her she could leave Q0.50 (50 cents) because it wasn't good to lose the habit. Some laughed at this insignificant amount… but a month and a half later she asked me in front of everybody, "Profe (short for Professor), how much money have I saved?" And I told her, "You have about Q30," and everybody's mouth fell open, repeating, "THIRTY QUETZALES." So many were jealous of the amount she had, because it was no longer insignificant.
Two weeks later 7 more kids were saving their money with us. We started with a few bags with their names and a card to mark the date and amount of money deposited. With time September came and the kids already knew they would only get the money they had saved for some emergency and preferably if they were going to spend the money on something indispensable or in something for their own businesses (since many sell goods or shine shoes in Antigua).
That's what happened with Diego. Many times he tried to get his money out just because he got mad that we were making him do his homework correctly or he got jealous or who knows what else. The thing is that two weeks ago he asked to speak with me alone in my office and he told me that he wanted his money Q500. Can you believe it? And I asked him why.
The reason was that Christmas is coming and he wants to sell toys, and that buying them now they would be cheaper than buying them closer to Christmas time. That now would be a good time to invest, and of course, delighted, I gave him his Money. Now he has already purchased electronic toys, light-up bracelets, tiaras and light-up balls to sell for Christmas. He does not only expect to make money to provide for and return Q500 to his savings, (which Professor Josué requires he return, because it is his small capital with which to work next year) but his goal is to deposit Q700 back into his savings! That is already a success, at least in an attitude of entrepreneurship.
I don't know if he'll achieve his goal. I want to think he will. But for now, he doesn't have his hands empty for Christmas. Not only will he sell ice cream (which is his regular business), but he has thought of a better business for the season. With this, I don't see that we've only helped him read and write and be able to finish school, (something that he has done with satisfaction finishing this year in 3rd grade), but also to think farther ahead than the present.
…. The same thing happened with Carlos, who has taken his money more frequently but now that he has finished 6th grade he has Q100 to pay part of the cost of graduation. But Carlos will be another story.

Dear friends,
We made our goal for the toothbrushes!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
AND other great news, Josue took his first steps without crutches today!!! Praise God!
AND TODAY 14 of my 7th graders FINISHED READING THE NEW TESTAMENT!!!!! I am so proud of them. In June, the school changed the devotion I had with them for a different book. I was really bummed but a student came to me and asked if I could continue giving them the bookmarks with the chapter each day they should read. So I did and these 14 made the choice to continue reading on their own! And now 3 months later, they finished the 27 books of the New Testament. I am so very glad that they have gotten in the habit of reading their Bibles!!!! Praise God!
THank you for participating in these things with your prayers and support! We have an awesome God!
Okay everybody!!! I need your help. I had no responses in my august email update for toothbrushes that only cost 3$ BUT yesterday at the supermarket they were 3 for 1 with a free toothpaste. I couldn't turn up the deal so I bought all they had with my credit card which just happened to be the same amount of kids we have at the Jeremiah Project! SOOOOO I need people to donate a dollar for a kid to have a tooth brush. I am serious. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Can't you afford 1 dollar?

Dear Friends, Sept. 15, 2012
Happy Independence Day! Today we celebrate Guatemala´s Independence and even though it is my 10th time here, today was my first time to actually be in an independence parade! I have always been an observer, but this year with the Life and Hope School I got to participate in the parade. The photo collage is dedicated to our independence celebrations.
Other international news, is the Fuego (Fire) Volcano´s eruptions this year. Thursday´s eruption sent lava and ash 3000meters into the air above the crater! 7 communities were evacuated. Today they returned to their homes. The front page paper photo was impressive. You know what? I didn´t even see it. The wind blew the smoke away from us and I didn´t even know about this last 10th eruption until I saw it in the paper on Friday. Other eruptions I have seen like late on Sept. 3rd when the volcano was spewing lava. It was massively impressive. I got some video and will have to visit somewhere with high speed internet because when I tried to download it last night our internet couldn´t handle it.
My sister, Virginia, was in the hospital over a week with serious digestive problems. She got to go home Friday night after the doctors discovered it was her colitis disease and they were able to give her appropriate medicine. Praise God she is on her way to recovery and that her baby was kept safe during her illness. Join with us in praying for her recovery and pregnancy!
Speaking of recovery, Josue is still recovering. It has been 4 months since his injury, 3 since his operation and one month since his cast was removed. The physical therapy is going well. He is STILL on crutches but has started to put some weight on his foot. He cannot support all his weight but it is a start. He also has been able to put a shoe on for the first time since his surgery. Please continue to pray for his recovery.
We also need your prayers for a delicate situation. Remember my petition for prayer for a pick up to replace the Project´s Dodge Ram. Well, we bought one a couple weeks ago from a newspaper ad. When Josue took the title to the gov´t agency to change the name, they accused him of falsifying documents because it was a fake. The pick up was a stolen vehicle! Soooo they took it away and not only did we lose that money from buying it and fixing it up but now we are fighting to get Josué´s name cleared. In the next couple days he will have to visit the distant town it was stolen from to make a statement and get a lawyer. We are both very disappointed and concerned. Please pray that God will guard our hearts, that Josue will be justly cleared of the charges, and that God will provide the needs for the Jeremiah Project.
Lastly, I wanted to update you on the couple I mentioned that came to visit in my last email. Kenny and Sara work in the entertainment business in Nashville, Tennessee and have the burden to support the Jeremiah Project. Their idea is to export hand made leather boots from Guatemala, sell them in the states with info about the people who made them and that 50% of the profit will go to the Jeremiah Project to help more families in Guatemala. It would be a win win win situation for those who want hand made leather boots, the boot makers in Guatemala and the Jeremiah Project. We are excited and helped them look for boots and talk to those who make them. They took back some samples and we will see how it goes. Pray God´s blessing on this couple and their business idea to help support the Jeremiah Project.
So this is a couple weeks early for a monthly update, but so much has happened I wanted to fill you in. I feel very blessed to have the prayer and financial support of people like yourself. Thank you so much for contributing to God´s work in our lives and Guatemala. God bless you!

I walked all over the the country from Masada in the South to Syria in the north & they were great, "no blisters".

I'm contemplating purchase of another pair!"
- Brian: "No they are not. "

Our Journey Online - January 24, 2012
Put Your Foot Down
Joel Anderson, Senior Pastor, Harvest Orlando, Florida
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. - Romans 8:1-4
Blended families and dysfunctional homes have been around since the beginning. In fact, consider Abraham, the founding father of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, who tried to blend Sarah and Isaac with Hagar and Ishmael and finally threw Hagar and Ishmael out of the house (see Genesis 21). Jacob tried to blend four families with disastrous results (read Genesis 29-38 for all the details).I could go on. So what's the point?
Of course, it's not to embolden our sinful hearts. "Well they did it and lived to tell. What's the big deal?" Wrong. That's not the point.
Instead, those stories ought to remind us that God has always been the redeemer of people, not just prone to sin, but boldly practicing sin. And whatever you've been through or are going through, remember that God can and does make all things new when we repent and return to Him (Acts 3:19). It is the enemy who desires to keep you feeling defeated by decisions you've already been forgiven of.
So put your foot down on the foundation of God's clear and comforting Word! In he passage above, Paul writes some of the most encouraging words found in Scripture.
First, we've got to put the past in the past. There is "NOW" no condemnation in Christ. So none of this "But I don't feel forgiven." Don't exalt your feelings about the facts, loved ones. When we confess it, we're forgiven (1 John 1:9).
Second, put away the partial. Notice again in verse one that there is therefore now "NO" condemnation. Two things happen in the Greek text that we don't always get as clearly in the English. For one, the "no" is a compound word conveying an intensified meaning. It's the audible equivalent of shouting "No!" instead of simply saying it. Second, in the Greek sentence, the "no" comes at the beginning of the sentence also implying the force of the negation. It's not an afterthought or a wimpy wish, but a starting place for what will be expressed next.
There is "NO" condemnation for those in Christ. Not less. Not just some. Not just on bad, rainy, dreary, dismal-no-good-awful-rotten days. No condemnation. I love that!! Put away the past. Put away the partial.
And finally, put away the punishment. The point here, as with forgiveness, is that if God doesn't condemn those in Christ, what business do we have condemning ourselves?
And not because I say so, but because God does. Put it away . . . He has!
What are sins I don't feel forgiven of?
Am I boldly practicing some sin today? What will I do about it?
Prayer: Dear Father, I want what Jesus Christ did for me on the cross to make a difference in my life. I want to not only know that I'm forgiven, but to feel forgiven as well. Protect my mind from lies that tell me that some things can never be forgiven. And help the grace that You've shown me spur me to show that same grace to those around me. All for Your glory! In Jesus' name, Amen.

10.4: Change the default screenshot format
Maybe I'm imagining things, but since I played with this a while ago, something incredible has happened.
10.4: Change the default screenshot format
To me it just came around the same size, taking into account that while both captures where not pixel per pixel equal (the dock changed), they were pretty much the same.
10.4: Change the default screenshot format
For me sizes of png files were the same before and after changing the file format to pdf.
What about screenshots to the clipboard?
I find one of the biggest improvements you can do to a Mac is to set command shift 3 to "take screenshot of selected area to clipboard" and command shift 4 to "save screenshot of selected area to desktop" in the custom keyboard shortcuts. I find however that taking screenshots to the clipboard and pasting them into emails *always* results in TIFF images being sent, regardless of this setting. Any change of some help setting that file format?

Needed Functionality
We were presented with a project that would require an overlay "bubble" object to appear with a functional form inside. The purpose of this bubble is to allow a user to enter more information than the single node would allow. We like simplicity in user interfaces, so we didn't want to clutter up the U.I. with anything until the user actually needed to use it.
Here's an example:
View Demo & Documentation
In this case, the form bubble appears only when the user clicks new or edit.
Why standard tooltip plugins didn't meet our needs
The typical function of a tooltip is to appear when the user hovers over a particular element. That's all well and good, but what if you want to wire it up to your own events? At the time we decided to create FormBubble, the plugins we found were simply incapable of doing this without a massive overhaul to their source codes. This seemed like a great excuse for making our own jQuery plugin.
Also, we needed our actionable "tooltip" to be initialized and loaded during the event and not simply when the document is ready. The reasons for this are simple: we are adding and removing elements to the DOM after the page loads, and it is not needed to bind a plugin to a massive list when the user is not likely to interact with every single list item anyway. Due to the potential for thousands of nodes to have the formBubble plugin bound to them, I choose to bind as needed. Also, it was way too much of a hassle to pass events as options which only allow for events that are supported by the jQuery.bind() function. Also, as of jQuery 1.3.2, events like "focus" were not supported by jQuery.live().
Event Binding
Below, are some code examples of the different ways events are handled in the plugins formBubble and qTip at the time the formBubble plugin was originally created. Binding events outside the plugin enables us with the flexibility we needed in this case.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
//formBubble Plugin $('#new').click(function(){, //event bound outside of the plugin (what we needed) $(this).formBubble({ text: 'Hello World!' }); }); //qTip Plugin - event passed as a parameter and bound inside the plugin (no good) $('#new').qtip({ content: 'Hello World!', show: 'click', //event passed as a parameter and bound inside the plugin hide: 'mouseout' //event passed as a parameter and bound inside the plugin });
I'll be the first to Admit that the qTip plugin is at this moment still a superior plugin in its overall compatability, functionality, and prepackaged themes. However, it simply wasn't flexible enough for our needs at the time. It did not have methods to programmatically close or open the tip without bugs. We used this as an opportunity to learn more about jQuery plugin development and best practices. Please note that this is a work in progress, and any tips or constructive criticism is always appreciated.

If your job search is taking longer than you anticipated perhaps it is because you are taking the wrong approach. Joyce Fortier-Paxton, executive resume writer and coach at Create Your Career, recommends that you focus on finding people instead of the traditional way people have been hunting for their next career.
"Conduct a people search instead of a job search," she recommends, "spend your time connecting with other people instead of looking for specific jobs on job boards or in ads."
Her tactic supports the well accepted saying that it is not what you know it is who you know. By enlisting a champion at a company that could possibly have openings you will position yourself about the other applicants.
Taking a soft approach will increase your chances that you do not want to put old friends and coworkers on the spot or make them feel bad for not being able to help you with a specific opening. By reconnecting you are letting them know that you respect their opinions and they will help you automatically if they can.

CHICAGO – Before 1998's "The Big Lebowski" there was 1996's "Kingpin", the Farrelly brothers bowling comedy that didn't have the narrative intricacies of the Coen brothers' classic, but had plenty of jokes about middle-aged men playing the sport. Today finds the release of "Kingpin" to Blu-ray for the first time, coming with only one new special feature.

Film Review: Philip Seymour Hoffman Lives Again in 'God's Pocket'Submitted by PatrickMcD on May 20, 2014 - 11:37am
CHICAGO – Watching Philip Seymour Hoffman perform, now that he has passed on, is a bittersweet reminder of his ability and power to embody his deeply felt characters. He does it again in one of his last roles, adding his special brand of acting to the messy story within the gritty noir drama, "God's Pocket."
Film Review: Warm 'Fading Gigolo' Has Odd Romance, Woody AllenSubmitted by PatrickMcD on May 5, 2014 - 5:10pm
CHICAGO – How do you make a Woody Allen style film? You hire Woody Allen to act in it. Writer, director and lead actor John Turturro channels the soul of Allen's films by creating a strange and romantic scenario with different types of relationships, including one with Woody himself in "Fading Gigolo."
Interview: John Turturro Vibrantly Directs 'Fading Gigolo'Submitted by PatrickMcD on April 29, 2014 - 8:29am
CHICAGO – "You're a sick f**k, Fink" is the movie quote I was tempted to throw at John Turturro, the actor who played the title role as "Barton Fink," and dozens of other memorable movie characters. Turturro is breaking out again as a writer/director, producing a new film co-starring Woody Allen, delicately entitled "Fading Gigolo."
Blu-ray Review: Astonishingly Awful 'The Nutcracker: The Untold Story'Submitted by mattmovieman on November 10, 2011 - 6:42am
CHICAGO – The mind boggles when attempting to comprehend the unmitigated disaster known as "The Nutcracker: The Untold Story," which was titled "The Nutcracker in 3D" during its theatrical run. Other bad films have tried to adapt Tchaikovsky's ballet classic for the big screen (remember Macaulay Culkin's version from the '90s?), but none have sunk to the depths of appalling ineptitude inhabited by this Christmas turkey.

Blu-Ray Review: Wild, Overlong 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon'Submitted by PatrickMcD on October 4, 2011 - 8:34am
CHICAGO – What is truly astounding about "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is how overwhelming it is to take in – there is so much going on that sensory overload is a distinct possibility. Shia LaBeouf stars in the latest Transformers film, now on Blu-Ray and DVD.
Blu-Ray Review: 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?,' 'The Count of Monte Cristo'Submitted by BrianTT on September 19, 2011 - 12:06pm
CHICAGO – Touchstone Pictures have reached into the vault and pulled out two of their modest hits, a pair of films with little in common other than studio and that they're both around ten years old. For teenagers, these films will be new again and the fact is that both have been a bit forgotten by history. "The Count of Monte Cristo" certainly has been more so than the Coen brothers' "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" but you may want to revisit both now that they're available in HD.
Blu-Ray Review: 'The Big Lebowski' Really Ties Your Collection TogetherSubmitted by BrianTT on August 16, 2011 - 11:29am
CHICAGO – Most Coen brother releases on Blu-ray are going to cause a ripple through the film-loving community. Who doesn't want to own "Fargo," "Miller's Crossing," and even less-beloved films like "The Man Who Wasn't There" or "The Hudsucker Proxy" in 1080p? Joel and Ethan Coen have long been visually-gifted filmmakers and those gifts shine through brightly in HD. But the release of the massively-adored "The Big Lebowski" in a special Blu-ray edition? Well, that's more of a wave than a ripple.

CHICAGO – In our latest comedy/crime/cult classic edition of HollywoodChicago.com Hookup: Blu-ray, we have 5 Blu-rays up for grabs to the highly anticipated home entertainment release of "The Big Lebowski" starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Steve Buscemi!
Film Review: Despite a Ferrari Predecessor, 'Cars 2' is a Honda Requiring RepairSubmitted by HollywoodChicago.com on June 24, 2011 - 4:33pm
CHICAGO – "Cars 2" is an unequal Pixar blend for adults and kiddies that never evolves into the storytelling success of its predecessor. The film, which draws thematic elements from "The Bourne Identity," "Beverly Hillbillies" and "Transformers," is a Honda needing a body shop as compared to the pristine Ferrari that was "Cars".

ARLINGTON — When an Arlington fire engine and its crew of three arrive at a structure fire, the firefighters must wait for help before even considering sending anyone inside.The Arlington Fire Department follows state law, which requires four firefighters present before anybody can enter a building engulfed in flames unless there is a imminent life-threatening situation, or the fire is in its beginning stage.So the Arlington Professional Fire Fighters association is advocating for the department to follow the lead of the Fort Worth and Dallas departments by adopting National Fire Protection Association standards that recommend every fire engine have a minimum of four firefighters, allowing immediate response to a fire.Though the recommendation is not required, "the NFPA is still an industry standard and non-compliance could become a legal problem as it has to [do] with negligence and the standard of care," firefighter association President David Crow wrote in a letter to the Star-Telegram.The city follows the agency standards for equipment, uniforms, apparatus and fire ground procedures —why not staffing? he asked.But Fire Chief Don Crowson said a 2006 third-party study revealed that Arlington does not need four firefighters per engine and that a second firetruck arrives to comply with the two-in/two-out state law within one minute, 20 seconds. This is a 30-second improvement from a couple of years ago, he said.The NFPA recommends that the first fire engine arrive within four minutes; Arlington fire engines take four minutes, 20 seconds, officials said. Arlington's total response time is five minutes, 22 seconds. NFPA's recommended total response time is five minutes, 20 seconds.Instead of having the additional staffing on the engines, the chief said, he uses a squad program, in which two sets of firefighters drive SUVs to respond to low-priority calls in the city's busiest units. The staffing also has not lowered the city's rating by the insurance agency that ranks fire departments nationwide based on the quality of fire protection.Crowson said the squad teams reduce firefighter fatigue on two of the city's busiest units, engines 2 and 4. Engine 2 used to respond to 5,000 calls a year on the east side, but now it responds to 2,600. Engine 2 also used to have four firefighters, but Crowson shifted one firefighter to the squad team.He said the squad SUVs can also aid in fire support by following the two engines to a fire. "There's not a fire chief in the world that doesn't want more staffing, but we believe in Arlington we should justify our needs before we ask for additional staffing, and those needs are typically related directly to system demand," Crowson said.Several Arlington firefighters expressed concerns on a city survey stating that by not meeting the standard, the department could be putting its men and women at risk: … When we arrive on scene of a fire we have requirements to have at least four people on the scene prior to making entry. However, our minimum staffing only allows for the engines to have three people on them and the quints [ladder trucks] to have four. So when an engine arrives on scene first we are unable to make entry into a fire until another engine arrives.A total of 231 fire employees took the survey, which was made available to all 335 fire and 104 dispatch Fire Department employees.With four-person staffing the driver operates the pump, two firefighters advance the water hose and enter the building, and one officer gives directions and supervises, said Ken Willette, manager of the public fire protection division at the NFPA.Willette said this allows each firefighter to focus on a specific task."If someone challenges the work practices of the fire department, if somebody suffers a line-of-duty death or serious injury and they seek action … OSHA's two-in/two-out and NFPA 1710 are always referenced in court," Willette said.Arlington firefighters do not have to wait on a fourth person if the fire could pose an imminent life-threatening situation, or if the fire is in its beginning stages and can be put out with extinguishers, according to policy.Crowson said ladder trucks generally have a staff of four."We cannot be trapped in singular thinking. That's why other departments are moving to squads. You have to justify why there is a need," Crowson said of increasing staffing.Neighboring Fort Worth and Dallas follow the two-in/two-out standard by staffing all fire engines and trucks with at least four firefighters.The Fort Worth department implemented four-person staffing in 2005 and has since saved taxpayers 8.9 percent on insurance premiums, Battalion Chief Richard Harrison said. The Insurance Services Office ranks fire departments nationwide. Those rankings factor into how much insurance costs for a city's residents. ISO rankings range from one, the best, to 10, no protection.Harrison, who directs community risk reduction, said the Fort Worth department's four-person staffing moved it up a spot to Class 2, saving taxpayers money.The Arlington department also holds a Class 2 rating. The Dallas department has mandatory four-person staffing on engines and ladder trucks, a requirement that has been in effect since the late '80s, Capt. Bernard Pipkins said. Pipkins said the norm was three firefighters per engine when he joined the department in 1980, but the new standard changed everything."It has helped us out tremendously," he said. "Each person has a specific duty, whereas before we three had to double up on duties."Willette said the fire protection agency's standard should be used to measure efficiency."The real goal is for communities to understand there is a recommended staffing level of four that is needed and the fire department should be able to explain to the community what is the risk, what's the cost and do you think it's worth it to have less," he said.Crowson said he has served on the NFPA committees and knows how the process works. Crow, the fire association president, wrote to the Star-Telegram that the "APFF believes the main obstacle for not adopting NFPA 1710 in Arlington is money, it would require a substantial investment by the city to achieve this standard."The Arlington Fire Department has the lowest per capita cost of North Texas' top 10 most populous cities."If you think about it, do cars really need brakes? If you take your foot off the brake, the car will eventually stop, one way or another," Crow wrote. "But, is that the best way for a car to stop? … The same could be applied to staffing standards and NFPA 1710."

The use of horse sweets in instruction is a subject with serious opinions for both aspects. Some are adamant that providing horse goodies by hand causes horses in becoming bad and nippy; some others recommend teaching techniques which be dependent seriously on snacks, like clicker training. Still others the same as to feed their horse pleasures as a possible phrase in their love. yummy treats for horses
The answer is probably somewhere in the middle, as with so many things. Well-known natural horsemanship educator Pat Parelli advocates using treats mainly with horses who are extremely food-motivated to begin with; the stereotypical lesson pony who will barely break out of a walk, but will do anything for a sugar cube, for instance. Also, he warns that sweets must be used as a "advantage" whenever a desirable actions is performed, much less a bribe.
Think about a horse who may be unwilling to load up over a trailers. If the owner stands inside the trailers, retaining a carrot just beyond his horse's attain, he or she is trying to bribe the horse into the trailer, while using carrot. This approach works sometimes, though not as often as one might think-- a horse who is truly frightened by the trailer is unlikely to overcome that fear just for a bite of carrot. horse treats info
A different proprietor, having said that, may well choose to put a wide range of horse treats from the manger with the trailers ahead of bringing the horse out, in order that the horse is unaware which the goodies exist. That owner could then assist the horse making use of teaching tactics, including approach and retreat, to get over the horse's the fear of the trailers. As soon as the horse cautiously goes into the trailer initially-- lo and behold! -- it discovers a manger brimming with goodies waiting around. All of the immediate, this "trailering" factor doesn't seem quite so negative, ideal? That's an illustration of employing treats as being a bonus.
Another example might be stashing a pan or bucket with a few treats out on the trail before riding a barn sour horse on that trail, allowing the horse to discover the treats along the way. By doing this, the barn sour horse starts to associate departing the barn with positive issues.
When you have made the decision you want to use pleasures included in a training curriculum, the next concern gets to be what sort of goodies to use. That doesn't mean sugar cubes are good for horses, even though horses love sugar cubes. Genuine glucose is not any better for any horse's oral health-- or metabolic health -- than for your human's. They can be messy, even though apples and Carrots are healthy alternatives that most horses enjoy. Apples, specifically, may cause copious sums of tacky horse slobber. Fruits and vegetables can't be located on the barn while in very hot or incredibly frigid weather, either. best horse treat
The optimal horse treatsare shelf strong, don't depart your hands tacky, and are made from healthy and balanced, nutritious materials. There are several firms making these types of pleasures, and the greatest types have this kind of excellent dietary profile they are comparable to giving your horse a mineral and vitamin dietary supplement. However more expensive, these horse sweets are really worth the extra cash.
Possibly the least complicated and the majority of telling check of the caliber of a horse address is whether the odor helps make you intend to try one your self if you wide open the bag. If it does, try to confine yourself to just a nibble-- otherwise, your horse may get jealous. yummy horse treats

Philip Blake
Tue Sep 18, 2012 5:38 pm Broncos placed C/G Philip Blake (thumb) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Fantasy Source Spin: The fourth-round rookie had not been active in either of the Broncos' first two games. He suffered the injury in Friday's practice.
Source: MileHighSports.com
Fri Jun 1, 2012 11:10 am Broncos signed fourth-round C Philip Blake to a four-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Although Blake was a center at Baylor, he worked at guard during the Senior Bowl and has suggested that will be his primary position in Denver. Former college teammate J.D. Walton isn't yet in danger of losing his starting job, which means the 26-year-old Blake will likely work as the interior swing man as a rookie.
Sat Apr 28, 2012 12:40 pm Broncos selected Baylor G/C Philip Blake with the No. 108 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.
Fantasy Source Spin: A three starter at right tackle and center, Blake snapped to Robert Griffin III last season. With J.D. Walton at center in Denver, Blake will likely be used as a jack-of-all-trades on the interior. Wide-bodied with active hands and solid footwork, Blake could develop into a starter down the line. He's an older prospect at age 26.
