That was one of just four hits the Northstars would get against Kaestle, who threw a complete game. So did Farabee, but in the bottom of the seventh Gage Blasi singled, and when Kevin Paul doubled into the gap, Blasi raced home with the decisive run.
Just before facing B'ville, the Northstars got an 8-1 win over Central Square, erasing an early 1-0 deficit by scoring twice in the bottom of the second and tacking on four more runs in the next two innings to take charge.
Jason Shandler pitched six innings, surrendering just two hits and striking out five. At the plate, Jesse Farabee singled, doubled and drove in three runs, with Owen Dziados and Josh Rodriguez each getting a pair of RBIs. Steve Kires also had an RBI as Nesci and Mike Copani both scored twice.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's week began with a 3-2 defeat to Syracuse East, a game where, trailing 2-0, it used single runs in the fourth and fifth innings to catch up, only to see East go back in front in the bottom of the fifth and hold on from there.
Nick Claver, in defeat, pitched a complete game, striking out six but giving up six hits and three walks, also earning an RBi at the plate. East ace Jeff Belge struck out 10 Warriors and held them to four hits, with Claver, Jason Schulz and Rick Sisto getting those hits.
Yet the Warriors turned around a day later and beat Syracuse West 7-1, doing most of the damage in the top of the fourth, when it batted around against West pitcher Hector Santa and produced six runs to expand upon an early 1-0 lead.
Don Pauldine hit a home run and finished with a pair of RBIs, while Schulz doubled twice and drove in three runs. Ben Terzini added an RBI as Luke Gilbert went the route on the mound, holding West to six hits and recording seven strikeouts.

What do you do when the customer doesn't have the budget for a masterpiece?
by Tom McIltrot
Readers often assume that since we get to see so much work here at SignCraft that what inspires us most is extravagant (or expensive) signs. But actually, the thing that impresses us most is a well-done, effective "everyday job" with extra appeal—an ordinary sign job done in an extraordinary way. I really like a good-looking knockout job.
We're talking about the signs done for everyday customers with everyday budgets—and yesterday deadlines. But somehow, a creative sign person, with a good layout
Erik Dickson, Erik Designs, Rumford, ME
Dave Correll, Brushwork, Fairbault, MN
and a little stroke of creative genius, takes a job like this and turns it into an everyday masterpiece: a sign that does its job without looking mundane or generic.
Quite often the budget isn't there to warrant using several colors—or even two colors. When you pare down to one color, the designer is working without a net. If
David Showalter, David Design, Bryan, OH
the layout isn't right, the design falls apart because there's nothing else to lean on—no colors, no outlines, no blends or special effects.
We've been saving some of the effective one-color jobs we've seen—especially the black-on-white jobs. We'd like to see yours, too! E-mail them to us at email@example.com, or drop them in the mail to SignCraft, P.O. Box 60031, Fort Myers, FL 33906.

I didn't see any reverses in the examples. A reverse stripe or rectangle tends to give the effect of an additional color.

Posting this freebie goodness…
Grab it at 4 shared, be patient with them they are having growing pains, okay?
Gracie is doing well physically she is putting on a little weight each week, she had some cloudy urine and incontinence probably a little infection or irritation so she was on some herbal supplements to clear that up. Emotionally she is working through a few things…Her wound has healed over a few times and she has worried it down to blood again and again. She is worried so she licks. Our oldest girl, Cherry Pie aka Cherry Bomb (18 years old) is gently moving toward her final days with us and Grace is very sensitive about the turn of events. We had to bring a dog crate into the house from the shed for Cherry so she doesn't get the smoosh from the other dogs as she is trying to sleep. Gracie does not like Cherry being in the crate and will not go near. When Cherry comes out, she sniffs her all over to check if she is okay. Cherry is not yet ready to leave us, so we are keeping her comfortable and giving her all the attention she wants. She's a beagle so she would just rather smell stuff, sleep, smell stuff, and cuddle. It will be a tough time for Grace as we move through these final days. Cherry seems to be cool with her transition, she has always been an amazingly collected dog and she really calms the others with how she deals day to day. Such a joy to be around. We are keeping Gracie's wound wrapped up for now. Here is what it looked like before she licked it.
She is wrapped up now so no pictures of her little bits of damage. It heals in a day and she goes a few days without messing and then she binges! A few days of calm music and attention will probably put her in a better mood, let's hope.
Sorry no new pictures of Gracie, I can't really get down low to get a good picture of her and she is just SO sad she will not look up. Here is an older one from when she started her worrying.
Breaks your heart, right? The glow eyes don't help. Hang in there Grace! Better Days are coming 'round! Cherry takes no notice of Gracie, yet Grace is very attached to Cherry just the same. Quite a pair those two.
Happy Saturday, Sweeties!

TAMPA, Florida -- The charity that's received widespread attention after volunteering to help two-year-old Ireland Nugent get prosthetic legs is now also getting attention from state regulators.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services contacted the nonprofit's founder, Steve Chamberland, for two reasons. First, even though 50 Legs is registered as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, it was never registered with the state. During a press conference Tuesday, board members apologetically called that an oversight.
According to Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services spokeswoman Erin Gillespie, 50 Legs has been very cooperative since the state sent a letter on April 30, and the charity should be registered within the next few days.
"I'm not the brightest bulb in the circuit, so as soon as I got that [501(c)3] I thought we could do this," Chamberland told reporters on Tuesday.
The other problem state regulators found: Chamberland has a felony on his record, so he's not allowed to ask for money for a charity for 10 years.
Court records show adjudication was withheld and Chamberland was never formally convicted of a grand theft charge he pleaded guilty to in 2008. The following year, he was sentenced to 18 months probation for the third degree felony.
"I'm a wrestler. I was never a choir boy. I never said I was an innocent person," Chamberland said. "If we can dig up everybody's past, I'm sure nobody would want that, but I'm glad it's out there."
He and 50 Legs board members see his story now as one of redemption. Chamberland knows he can't ask for donations now, but he contends that he's never directly solicited funds, and says he still plans to be the face and the force behind the charity.
"Nothing's going to change," he proclaimed. "I'm still going to help kids no matter what."
He says he's focusing his future on helping kids like Ireland Nugent, whose family is still standing behind him.
"Everybody has a past and that doesn't have anything to do with it," says Ireland's mom, Nicole. "He's been nothing but support to us."
Ireland herself sees him as family.
As Chamberland stood before reporters, Ireland smiled.
"Uncle Steve!" she shouted.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I haven't been keeping up with this community as I should have. What other diagnoses are your doctors considering? Yes, it is very debilitating. I have very sore feet most of the time, and the constant movement is maddening. I hope to hear back from you.
KimView Thread
My diagnosis came after tens of thousands of dollars of testing--MRI's from (literally) head to toe, plus blood work, and EEG, an ultrasound of my foot, and a nerve conduction study. The neurologist who finally diagnosed me did so in ten seconds without even looking at the stack of test reports. All he did was watch my foot. He was not particularly hopeful or helpful. He suggested Botox injections as a way to control (but not cure) my symptoms. That was three months ago, and I've not yet made the decision to go forward with that.
Although I do have some pain, it is not disabling. But the constant movement can be maddening. I would love to hear from both fellow sufferers and from those in the medical community who may be able to shed some light and offer hope. Almost all the literature I have found online is scientific and not for patients. Perhaps together we can find answers and bring more awareness to this condition.View Thread

Seriously... I'm still in awe :D
I'm happy for you. Sounds like you had a great experience.
I'm so glad you got the birth you wanted! Trust me the feeling never goes away no mater how many years later. Just an hour ago my husband emailed me telling me that his supervisor watched the birth video of my son three years ago. I got this warm feeling all over and was so proud of myself - it was my greatest achievment to have had my baby all natural in water.
Your story was inspiring... Remind me again at what week you birthed? Didn't you have some doubts going into it? How did you overcome them?

Phosagro considers merger of units, giving up Indian market
January 27, 2014 | Natasha Alperowicz
Phosagro (Moscow), a leading producer of phosphate fertilizers, is considering merger of its subsidiaries to save costs and improve shareholder value, CEO Andrey Guryev tells Bloomberg. The company may combine the phosphate ore producer Apatit and three other production units and merge with its parent. The move would cut costs through streamlining accounts and reducing headcount, he says. Meanwhile, Guryev says that Phosagro is giving up on the Indian market, which, until recently, accounted for a quarter of the company's exports. The decision...

Hi Everyone,Sorry I haven't been posting, but I've been too busy with things here in Japan to get online about hiking lately.However, in an effort to be of some use I've been wracking my brain about what to do. Providing financial support is the most obvious one, and two of the Japanese UL hikers, Tatsuya Totsuya and Kousuke Kakinoki have put together a website through the Japan Hiker's Association to donate money. It's in Japanese right now and I need to sit down and translate it, so I'll let you know when it's ready.JustGiving.jpI was also thinking that as UL hikers, with a lot of knowledge about simple ways to be outdoors without a lot of unneeded gear, we could help out knowledge-wise for those people left without homes and living in the severe cold of Sendai, where the earthquake took place (one of my wife's patients died last night from hypothermia due to having stayed in a shelter in Tokyo without adequate provisions to keep warm... and Tokyo is not nearly as cold as Sendai, nor are there many problems due to the earthquake). I could do things like show how to make simple wood-burning stoves, set up shelter, stay warm, filter water, etc. I am thinking of possibly joining a rescue group or a volunteer organization that just does things like cook and clean up and such and going up to Sendai for a week or so (university work starts up again soon, so I can't stay long). An Australia friend told me that a rescue group has arrived and they might need my Japanese translation ability.Another thing that all of us could do is find a way to donate gear, like shelters and clothing, that people can use as they get through the first weeks of being homeless. I don't want to do this haphazardly or get in the way of official rescue efforts and clog up post office routes, so I have to get more information about how to go about doing it, where to pick up stuff, who to give it to, or even if it would be useful at all. Let me get back to everyone about that. I might have to set it up myself, since things always move so slowly here. So I might have a homepage up to get information out.My last idea is to offer shelter to those who lost their homes. My apartment is big enough for 1 or 2 people to stay for about 3 months, until they can get back on their feet. I don't know if something like this exists in Japan, though I know it exists abroad, in Christchurch, for instance. I think I might ask them for information about how to go about doing this. Lynn, would you know the name of such an organization?One of the things about being non-Japanese in Japan during such a crisis is that very little information exists for those who can't read and speak Japanese. And very little effort will be made to help the foreigners, many of whom will not know where to go or what is happening or whom to talk to. I'll have to see if there is a lifeline available online for them, if not, I'll have to put that together, too, so that people will have a place on the net to go to for information.This is all pretty crazy. But hopefully life will begin to get back to normal soon without anything worse happening. The nuclear power plant in Fukushima is very worrying.And we're still getting aftershocks, 51 hours later.

Good work.American Red Cross also has process for donatinghttp://american.redcross.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ntld_main&s_src=RSG000000000&s_subsrc=RCO_NewsArticleAmerican Red Cross Responding to Japan Earthquake and Pacific TsunamiThe American Red Cross is offering assistance to the Japanese Red Cross following Friday's magnitude 8.9 earthquake and resulting tsunami that left towns and villages in Japan devastated.
Thanks for the information, and especially for your dedication, Miguel. I tried looking at the link with a computerized translation, with mixed results.I hope you are able to take care of yourself while you are trying to help others. The Red Cross looks like an effective way for those of us not on the scene to be of help.
Just got an email from Time Warner Cable. Anyone who has their phone service can call to Japan for free. Nice touch.
ITMS is taking donations for RedCross, ShelterBox is taking donations as small as $1.
"I am thinking of possibly joining a rescue group or a volunteer organization that just does things like cook and clean up and such and going up to Sendai for a week or so (university work starts up again soon, so I can't stay long)."I genuinely wish I could do just that."An Australia friend told me that a rescue group has arrived and they might need my Japanese translation ability."They have - apparently they are in Minamisanriku. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/australian-searchers-deploy-in-danger-zone/story-fn84naht-1226021379448It does say that they have an interpeter, but there are lots of teams from other countries so you'd imagine that extra translators might well be needed.
I've been extremely busy with trying to secure food and other living basics around the area where I live, where there are very long lines, lots of shortages in basic foodstuffs and things like gasoline, and growing panic. I've also spent the last four days putting together an information site in English where people can go to look for practical information for the crisis. Please have a look: Disaster Japan.Basically it works by collecting a large number of people in a group on Facebook (group name, "Disaster Japan Information Gathering"), where people around the world gather links and other information on things that can be of use to the situation. This information is then harvested by me and a few others and put up on the site where it can be searched for and used. It is not a news site or a place to discuss, for instance, the political merits of nuclear power. I wanted to create a sober, practical site that disseminates vital information that is easy to understand and navigate amidst all the chaos of information around the world, rather than contributes to the panic. The site is still very raw and needs a lot of work, but hopefully it will be of use to those who need it most. Once the English site is established and running on its own, I hope to help others establish similar sites in other languages.Some of you may want to get involved. If you are on Facebook please ask to join the Disaster Japan Information Gathering group, and you can start there. We need a few more people helping out at the website to post links, but that takes a little more work and time, so let me know if you'd like to help out there.PS. While I understand that people have concerns in other countries, the Facebook group and website are specifically designed for Japan, where the crisis is taking place and where serious efforts in creating realistic and pragmatic solutions is extremely important right now. So any links or suggestions to things like nuclear fallout in the United States will not be considered. There is just too much to do here and too serious a situation to worry about things like that right now.

I commend your sense of community and humanity Miguel. I wish I had a bunch of Caldera Infernos I could send!! Seems to be plenty of firewood in many of the affected areas, as long as they have good ignition sources. Fires may be more difficult in the Tokyo region, but even Tokyo must have parks and other green areas with dead wood and stuff to burn for warmth??? Also, in a survival situation, as I'm sure you know, if everyone huddles together there is much less chance of someone suffering hypothermia. I know, no one wants to cuddle up to a stranger, but these are extra-ordinary times and call for extra-ordinary interventions."My last idea is to offer shelter to those who lost their homes. My apartment is big enough for 1 or 2 people to stay for about 3 months, until they can get back on their feet. I don't know if something like this exists in Japan, though I know it exists abroad, in Christchurch, for instance. I think I might ask them for information about how to go about doing this. Lynn, would you know the name of such an organization?"In September we just called our local council and let them know we had spare room, and I think they passed the info on to the shelters/Red Cross. I didn't know there was an international organisation that would coordinate such things. If anything, I would think the Red Cross would be in the best position to do this, but maybe it hasn't occurred to them. You could try contacting them and asking if they know of an existing organisation. Other than that, I'm out of ideas. I can't think of much help I can offer other than money directed to those who I hope CAN help.
It is actually kind of surreal watching so many people die and have such hardship, when a lot of us here manage to do just fine... comfortable even... in snowy, winter temperatures in a simple tarp and sleeping bag! It really shows you just how unprepared and lacking in knowledge about such things a lot of people are. I was shocked when a news article announced that people were starving to death in one town "because they don't have gasoline to get out of the area". Does on one think to walk? I do understand about the elderly (of which there are disproportionate numbers in the area that was hit), but anyone else? Japan is not big enough for that to be an excuse. Three days walking and you'll be in another big town, with lots of smaller towns between.I talked to a local community leader in my neighborhood to suggest providing refuge to survivors. His response. "I just don't know. This is Japan. We don't do things like that here." Not even a moment of consideration! I'm dumbfounded by the total lack of support here other than money and the lack of coordinated effort to help all those people. Seems cold and indifferent.
"I talked to a local community leader in my neighborhood to suggest providing refuge to survivors. His response. "I just don't know. This is Japan. We don't do things like that here." Not even a moment of consideration!"Miguel:Compare and contrast that with Katrina -- when Texas moved hundreds of buses into New Orleans to transport "evacuees" from the Superdome to the Astrodome. That's the way we do things here. OTOH, I am sure there were also many things we did that were slower and less efficient than in Japan. As well, we had looting and rioting -- things that didn't happen in Japan either.I guess what I am saying is that each culture has its own ways of dealing with issues -- for better and for worse. My view: I'd like to see a lot more cultural mutts -- physically and culturally -- where people are less tied to any one method of doing things, and the only sacrilege is sticking blindly / lazily to any one methodology and accepting inferior results.

No looting in Japan? Well, that's a myth.Rumors of Looting in SendaiLooting in JapanIt's just not done openly and violently. Very surreptitious. As the narrator in the video is saying, "Yeah, I guess it's for survival, but still... It's not right."Ben, I've been in Japan for a very very long time. It is not a "foreign culture" to me. I see it the same way that you see China or the States (and my connection the States is just like yours, too. I also have a connection to Germany). I've had the same connection to it as you had with China. So I actually do know what I am talking about, and my criticisms are legitimate. It's unusual for me to feel offense at things you write (because I agree with almost all your points of view), but this time I felt you were being a little condescending. Japan is notoriously slow to react in dire situations. They nearly always (though this time s little less) scoff at outside help, even when huge numbers of people are dying. That's one of the biggest criticisms of how the Hanshin Earthquake was handled. Hundreds died because the government took four days to respond, plus they refused help from very experienced organizations like Medicins Sans Frontiers and the American military. I have absolutely NO sympathy for "cultural differences" when people die due to plain stupidity and pig-headedness. NONE. You just do what needs to be done to save people's lives and screw cultural differences. Disasters have absolutely no dithers about killing whomever are in their way. They are not human and don't "care" about our little differences. As I sit here with unending earthquakes for seven days straight now I get no sense at all the the landscape could care less where we come from, what we like or don't like, whether or not we're scared, or whether the Japanese want me here or not. And It certainly doesn't care in any particular way about the Japanese, no matter how much the Japanese want to claim this place as their "homeland" and their "identity". All that stuff goes, "Poof!", out the window when an earthquake or tsunami or typhoon or volcanic eruption or mudslide or nuclear disaster strike.The slowness to react and hemming and hawing over "cultural appropriateness" is causing huge amounts of problems with the volunteer help and rescue efforts, too. The Japan Red Cross is making things very difficult for other branches, like American Red Cross, to come in and do their job. The government's incompetent handling of the information about the nuclear disaster is due in great part to too much standing around discussing things before acting, and thereby letting things get out of control (I personally thing the nuclear threat is small compared to what is happening up north, but that's what the world media is focused on). By being slow to be honest about the nuclear power plant disaster, to make clear that there is no danger to Tokyo (Geiger Counter Reading from Tokyo at 4pm, 3/17/2011), or even the further areas around the site, and to allay everyone's fears. People are evacuating from Tokyo now in big numbers, heading outside the country or down south, even though there is no need to. There is no strong leadership at all. Tokyo is suffering huge food and gas shortages, in spite of supplies being reportedly perfectly fine, because no one in the government is stepping in to allay people's fears, and so the panic is rising, people are hoarding, and everything is running out. I can't find eggs, toilet paper, milk, rice, batteries, anywhere. Four days now of this madness. And where are the leaders? Tokyo's governor Ishihara is spending his timecampaigning for re-election, rather than stepping in to set up something in Tokyo for refugees to properly have a place to go. He officially gave a speech the other day and told the survivors of the tsunami, "It is necessary to wash away the greedy mind... by using the tsunami," he told reporters."I think that it is divine punishment." Just try to imagine the reaction to that. And yet he's most likely going to be re-elected.This is the 8th major disaster I've watched unfold in Japan since I was a child, this one by far the worst, and every single time incompetence, slowness to respond, xenophobia, and apathy have turned it much worse than it should have been. Cultural differences? To me they just seem like excuses for not getting things done that are possible to do.I'd like to ask what cultural differences have to do with sheltering disaster victims who have no homes, food, medicine, or family? The needs are basic. Offer a home. Get food and medicine to those who need it. Make sure they have companionship, both for safety and for mental well-being. Sure, the logistics are a nightmare, but, what, then just give up? Let the people freeze in the winter cold or starve to death?(I'm sure we agree on all this... I'm just exhausted and scared and fed up with the way things have been done here so far)PS: Also I'm not saying this whole thing is east to deal with, not at all. But something has to get started on a grassroots level among local communities. The government alone cannot handle something as massive as this.PPS: Here is an article written by the Japanese novelist Ryu Murakami, on his experience of the quake and dealing with it. My take is very similar to his (after all, I am still here. I did not leave the country or run away either): Amid Shortages, a Surplus of Hope
Edited by butuki on 03/18/2011 04:33:13 MDT.
what matters is saving lives ...a person who is starving, hungry, cold, without water and in a nuclear disaster zone ..... id venture doesn't give a sh*tneither one who is being shot at and murdered by their own gov ... but thats a different thread ...
Thanks, Miguel, for providing information about the Disaster Japan website.I particulary appreciated the information about Second Harvest Japan .I would be interested in hearing an update from you when you have the time and energy.

You'd mostly be right. In truth, though, the only thing the band did with 2009's Eating Us and last year's Cobra Juicy was take a duster to its sound, cleaning up the deliberately lo-fi cobwebs covering its mix of psych-folk and trippy-dippy electro and allowing its chemically-enhanced quirks to shine even brighter.

ABC Newcastle - Meet the Mob
How many Aboriginal people are a part of your everyday life?
- Print page

In Meet the Mob we head into the suburbs and towns of the Hunter region of New South Wales to get to know the local Aboriginal community.
If you're Aboriginal, you'll find familiar names and stories here. This is your mob.
For everyone else, here's a chance to cut through the reconciliation rhetoric and hear directly what it's like being Aboriginal in modern Australia.
Traditionally the Hunter is home of the Awabakal, Darkinjung, Worimi and Wonorua peoples.
Over time it became a base for Aboriginal resettlement from regions like the North Coast, New England and Western Plains.
Today with heavy industry and coal mining, a university, a major regional health service and easy access to Sydney, the Hunter continues to attract Aboriginal families.
Lake Macquarie has the state's biggest Indigenous population outside of western Sydney.
How well do you know this community?
Welcome to Meet the Mob - personal profiles of the Aboriginal community of the Hunter, presented by ABC Newcastle's Jill Emberson.
Listen to highlights from conversations collected during the last year for Reconcilication Week 2014. You'll hear from some of Jill's most interesting guests including Federal Judge Matthew Myers and rugby league star Timana Tahu, as well as ordinary folk with extraordinary stories.


text: for those of you who dont know what nair is, its a cream that women will sometimes use on there legs to get rid of hair. all you do is rub it on, leave it for a few minutes, then wipe off. the reason it works is because it has a small amount of acid in it, so if you leave it on for too long it will start to burn.

Miguel Garcia, project manager for Cabrillo Economic Development Corp.'s Valle Naranjal in Piru, explains what the 1950s-era Piru Citrus Association Labor Camp looked like before it was deemed a historic site and demolished to create a new housing community for farmworkers and their families.
Valle Naranjal's community center, which sits on the ground that once housed the historic Piru Citrus Association Labor Camp, was dedicated to Ignacio "Nacho" Guevara and his wife, Mary, who ran the camp for 15 years.
Maria Salas, one of three CSU Channel Islands students who created an exhibit highlighting the history of Mexican farmworkers in Piru, holds a photograph of her father who was a farmworker in Ventura County during the Bracero program in the 1940s.
An exhibit at a new farmworker housing community in Piru holds artifacts from the Piru Citrus Association Labor Camp, or "El Campo," which housed 250 farmworkers during the Bracero program after it was founded in 1950.

Dr. Mathew Vanolm's Ratings
I found Dr. Van Olm to be rude and arrogant after first meeting him, he didn't even introduce him self and got annoyed when you asked questions. He was more interested in prescribing more steroids even though I told him I couldn't take the medicine he wanted to prescribe me as it makes me gain weight and he told me earlier that I needed to lose weight. He acted like I was inconvenience and stupid when I asked certain questions such as side affects or why he chose a certain treatment over another. I even had to remind him to go over ALL of my test results and not the ones he chose to pick and choose to go over.
He is very close to retiring and feel like he has zero f*cks to give and is trying to line his pockets. I will definitely get a second opinion with someone who respects their patients.

the only test i needed when i saw dr van olm was a cat scan.he gave me every test but that one. sent me home with puffers for asthma.told me i was fine and to take expensive vitamins he perscribed. WELL THE DR WHO DIAGNOSED ME WITH STAGE4 CANCER A YEAR LATER WAS SHOCKED.HE SAID ALL YOU HAD NEEDED WAS A CAT SCAN.so if i were you i would run to the nearest dr. and get a second opinion.yes he may be polite and friendly, but polite and friendly does not save lives. i believed him when he said i had asthma.ALWAYS GET A SECOND OPINION.

Dr. Van Olm is one of the kindest and most insightful doctor I've had the pleasure of dealing with. He saw beyond my condition that there were other things bothering me that weren't lung related. He is booked quite solid and spends a fair amount of time with his patients, which is why he is sometimes behind schedule, he does his very best to stay on schedule. I was given every test possible to diagnose a chronic cough I have and it came up clear. Great doctors are difficult to find and if you see him, I'm sure you'll agree. His knowledge extends far beyond his specialty. I always leave his office feeling good but worry about when he might retire. Sometimes his office staff drops the ball with scheduling, but they are very busy so things like that can and will happen. Highly recommended.

Hands down the best doctor ever. We went through numerous tests when I was super sick and found out I don't have asthma and all my symptoms were GERD related. That was a year ago. He is still seeing me because I'm still having a lot of health problems and don't feel good. A doctor who actually cares about the patient is far and few behind. Dr van Olm has gone much past what he was expected to being a respiralogist and I am very grateful.

Dr Van Olm is the 6th specialist I saw in a year. He spent a lot of time on my case and came up with some ideas for diagnosis and treatment. He referred me to his wife (Dr.Soriano) for alternative treatment)Fortunately after a year of puzzled doctors and my inability to do most normal things, they cured me with alternative therapy. I am very thankful for them.

Having seen other doctors for my condition (sarcoidosis type 2) I feel that Dr. Van Olm realy cares about my health. He is takes the time to ask about my overall health (and other conditions) and makes very helpful recommendations. I feel very safe in his care.

Excellent doctor. He read my medical chart carefully while I was in the appointment, and then educated me with regard to how to stop my cough, as well as gave me advice on a few other things I could do to improve my health. He did not push inhalers or steroids, but encouraged natural methods and action on my part. I feel better than I have felt for TWO YEARS due to this doctor. I recommend him highly.

A former patient of Dr. Van Olm & I called today to make an appt - was told that they moved - no access to former client files so I have to start the process with a new referral - my husband, my son, my mother, my aunt - all patients - too bad so sad! Very poor in my opinion.

Dr. Van Olm is not about mediocrity. My daughter was born with cancer 26 years ago. I have met and interacted with incomparable medical people, as well as been challenged in horrible times by incompetent or lazy doctors and staff. Given my experience, Dr. Van Olm's bootprints outsize most. He limited harm and invasive procedures. Dr. Matt Van Olm will diagnose medically, on a level seldom seen anywhere, all the while being tuned to the individuality of his patient. Picture now, my daughter. She's been in more than a few hospitals and had many doctors, survived a deadly childhood cancer. She's out bush, riding her beautiful grey horse, Hibiscus. Hibiscus spooks, comes back and then spooks again and falls backwards, Onto her back, where my daughter is. Broken. Everywhere. Again, more doctors, hospital time and agony, hard because of remembered emotional trauma. Luckily, a lung was punctured and we met Dr. Van Olm. Never has medical care been delivered with such distinction.

I was admitted to RGH with pnuemonia. The doctor in the ED wasn't Matt, but the quality of care in the ED was over brimming with very sick people was as expected.VanOlm's bedside manner was far better than some people to say the least. I made an appt 2 months down the road to follow up with him,the blood tests he did was not nessarily needed, if he had only asked me I would of been able to save him the time and the money that would of cost the AHC. I think people need to investigate what asthma is, learn about it and then be prepared when you see him. The fact that some people would rather blame others when in fact all they had to do was look it up. I've been an advocate for a very long time. I was a part of the Alta Lung Association and served on their board of Directors in the late 80's early 90's. I know more about Asthma, pneumonia and I think people should continously read on every subject if need be,since during cold winters is when this can happen to you or someone you know.

Kellan Lutz and St. Bernard Project
UPDATE from St. Bernard Project:
Kellan is turning 26 on March 15! We recently asked him how he wants to celebrate this special day and he said:
"My 26th birthday wish is for my fans to donate $26 to the St. Bernard Project. I can think of no better gift than to help a family rebuild and move back into their home in New Orleans. A special thanks to everyone who has shown their love and support so far. I really appreciate your commitment to the St. Bernard Project -- a cause that is close to my heart."
Kellan's original post:
Want a chance to win free, autographed Twilight memorabilia? Want me to send you a shout-out on twitter? Will you help a great cause?
It's Mardi Gras season in New Orleans and there are still many families whose homes were flooded by Katrina 5 1/2 years ago and have not been able to rebuild and move home. So I'm doing something about it. I'm the Grand Marshal of the St. Bernard Project's Get on the Float campaign and am funding a family's home by donating personally and raising money from the cast and crew of Twilight.
Now I need my fans to join me too. Donate any amount to St. Bernard Project and you'll be entered in the drawing. Grand Prize winners will get autographed Twilight memorabilia signed by me and other members of the Twilight cast.
But that's not the only prize! Each day, I'll send a shout-out to one donor on twitter. Just leave your twitter address in the comment section and I'll make sure my followers know about your generous contribution.
It's easy to donate and you'll be contributing to a great cause. This Mardi Gras Season, Get on the Float for St. Bernard Project. We want to get at least two families back home and we can do that by raising $40,000.
Until I was in New Orleans and saw the devastation first hand I had no idea about the extent of the enduring needs. I met families who were still living in FEMA trailers or their gutted homes over five years after Katrina. The good news is that there's a solution: the St. Bernard Project can rebuild a family's home in 12 weeks for about $15,000-$20,000. They've done over 350 so far!
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Archive for the 'W. Everett Miller' tag
SIA Flashback – The Arrowhead Teardrop Car
Quick one this week, but one that elaborates on a vehicle we last mentioned almost two years ago, the Arrowhead Teardrop car, designed by W. Everett Miller and constructed by Los Angeles's Advance Body Company (also referred to as Advance Auto Body Works). The interior looks rather well finished for a one-off, though the front-wheel-drive, rear-steer chassis concept seems a little half-baked. The story, by Richard Kelley, appeared in SIA #107, October 1988.
And if we read ahead to the next issue, we see in the Recaps column a letter from reader David Cole of Santa Maria, California, who sent in a copy of a page from the June 1937 issue of Automobile Trade Journal, which noted that the Arrowhead was badly wrecked in the spring of that year. Cole surmised that there was no way it would have been rebuilt following the crash.
Plywood cars and odd superchargers
My Mechanix Illustrated collection has been growing lately, mostly filling gaps in the 1950s and 1960s, but I've also been adding some issues from the magazine's predecessor, Modern Mechanix, and finding awesome little nuggets of information in 'em all. One of the more recent additions was this Modern Mechanix issue from December 1936, which includes gems such as the above photo, which depicts Ben Harris and his homebuilt front-wheel-drive car.
Designed to serve as an example of artistic and functional design as well as mechanical ability, a newly developed auto attains a speed of 110 m.p.h., and is said to travel 30 miles on a gallon of gasoline. It was designed by Benjamin F. Harris III, an industrial engineer in Chicago, Illinois.
Three years time was required to construct the car which incorporated many novel features. It is equipped with a front drive transmission and has independently sprung rear wheels. Fully retractable headlights and an exhaust aperture built into the body reduce air resistance.
The powerplant is a specially built V-8, geared engine equipped with two carburetors. The auto weighs 1,500 pounds and is 12 feet long, 5 feet wide. With a wheelbase of 86 inches, the wheel tread is 50 inches. The auto has remotely controlled filler caps and concealed hood latches and locks.
AutoPuzzles.com has an archived thread with more information about the Harris Streamline Special. Apparently, the car still exists!

Peter Facinelli, Girlfriend Jaimie Alexander and His Kids Walk First Red Carpet Together: Picture
Bonding time! Peter Facinelli and girlfriend Jaimie Alexander had a family moment on the red carpet Tuesday night -- and they weren't alone! The Twilight alum brought along two of his daughters he shares with ex-wife Jennie Garth while out in Santa Monica, Calif. on Jan. 21.
During the outing, Facinelli, 40, and the 29-year-old Thor actress kept close as they posed for photographs at the opening night of Cirque du Soleil's "Totem" on the Santa Monica Pier. Alexander held Facinelli's youngest, Fiona, 7, while Facinelli stood next to Lola, 10. (Facinelli also shares 16-year-old daughter Luca with Garth.)
PHOTOS: Beverly Hills, 90210 alum -- where are they now?
The event was the first big public outing for the group. Last month, the pair was photographed alone as they celebrated the hunky actor turning the big 4-0 in Mexico. The couple was spotted swimming in the ocean and showing off some adorable PDA poolside over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
PHOTOS: Jennie's life as a mom
Facinelli and Garth, 41, have both moved on since finalizing their divorce last June. Facinelli and Alexander debuted as a couple at the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 screening in November 2012. The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum split from businessman boyfriend Michael Shumbo in November 2013 after several months of dating. She was also linked to photographer Noah Abrams in August 2010 and indie-musician Jeremy Salken in January 2013.

You can't go home again...
But apparently Kimmer Reed had to. The government had hidden a young computer mastermind who held the key to the country's defense right in Kimmer's hometown. Now, if the Hunter Agency's top operative hoped to keep the government's secrets safe, she had to cozy up to the people she'd once left behind to discover just what the bad guys knew.
And the good guys, too. Because mastermind Caroline Carlsen had a self-appointed bodyguard in her cousin Rio Carlsen. Ex-CIA Rio might have made a good ally--if Kimmer had been allowed to tell him they were on the same team. Instead, she had to shadow his every move, watching while he walked comfortably in a world that had been lost to her. A world of family and connection. A world Kimmer would do anything to regain.

James H. (Sloppy) Floyd State Park
Summerville, GA 30747
706-857-0826 | 800-864-7275
Surrounded by rural countryside and the Chattahoochee National Forest, this quiet park in northwest Georgia offers outstanding fishing on two stocked lakes. Visitors can hike along three miles of lake loop trails and relax in swings while watching for the many bluebirds that live in the park. The trailhead to the scenic 60-mile Pinhoti Trail is only a 1.6-mile hike away. Children especially enjoy the playground, feeding ducks from the lake's boardwalk and renting pedal boats. A small campground and four cottages are nestled on tree-covered hillsides. This park was named for Rep. James H. "Sloppy" Floyd, who served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1953 until 1974.

Publisher's Description+
Autorun Eater was born due to the increase of malwares using the 'autorun.inf' method to infect users unknowingly be it from flash drives, removable hard disks or any other removable storage device. When a device is infected with a malware and an 'autorun.inf' file is dropped, the shell menu is normally modified to execute the malware whenever the unsuspecting user accesses the infected drive.
Autorun Eater will warn you and remove any suspicious 'autorun.inf' files(based on user decision/settings) so that the malware is not executed while accessing the infected drive. There are also certain cases whereby the malware has been removed by an antivirus but the 'autorun.inf' file remains. This will cause the drive to be inaccessible through the conventional method(double-click). Autorun Eater will also remove it if necessary so that you can access the drive as usual.
What's new in this version:
Version 2.4 has added 'Close Autoplay' option to prevent execution of malware via AutoPlay window.

Active Questions
|Sex & Intimacy / 8:22 AM - Saturday June 27, 2009
Do men really care if you are a few pounds overweight - some belly fat and not perfectly toned?
Women put a lot of emphasis on their appearance - we are more self-concious.
- Asked by Female, 36-45
If you treat me right and I treat you right, why would I give a shit if you put on a few pounds? Feed me right, I know I will put on a few pounds too! :0
- Response by loseing, A Guy Critical, Male, Who Cares?, Who Cares?
I don't think guys really care....sure they would like a toned sexy body all the time but when it comes to getting some sex I think the urge and excitement takes over and they don't pay attention to our faults as judgemental as we do about our body.
- Response by lasttrueromantic, A Creative, Female, 36-45, Teaching
Community Rating: Community Star
a few pounds, no. as long as you are in the BMI of 18.5-21, most men don't care. the BMI 21.1 - 25 is ok, but most men will say something. BMIs of 25+ will usually not be given a chance to find out.
- Response by pizzatroll, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 46-55, Science / Engineering
I think men want their women to be in good shape but they are not as obsessed about a few extra pounds as we are. This question would be best answered by a man, I guess, but I think a clean, well-groomed, sexually alive and confident woman with a few extra pounds would be more appealing to a man than a poorly groomed skeleton of a gal who has little interest in sex or is too sickly to participate, or who might give her partner a splinter during the act LOL!!!
- Response by barbear, A Thinker, Female, 56-65, Teaching
Forget BMI's and POUNDS. No guy is walking around looking at women guessing her damn BMI. Lol Let REALITY answer your question--look at all of the women in this category that are with Men and you have your answers.
- Response by thottienc, A Career Woman, Female, 36-45, Who Cares?
I don't think men are as obsessed about a few extra pounds as we are. I think that if a girl is well-groomed, enthusiastic and playful about sex and nice she will be more sexually appealing to a man than a gal who is a poorly groomed skeleton, unenthusiastic about sex or not nice - plus she could give the guy some splinters during the act LOL!! Probably guys could answer this better than I but if you are not a complete OINK I don't think that a little extra on the hips is a game ender - in fact many men find somewhat voluptuous women more appealing than skinny girls. It all depends on the guy. If you are clean and sweet and you like guys and they know it - relax!! Just don't let the poundage get out of hand.
- Response by barbear, A Thinker, Female, 56-65, Teaching
Generally if they have a belly pouch they are not getting naked with me unless they are a old friend or something but some guys are ok with it
- Response by bigcurt, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 56-65, Pittsburgh, Self-Employed
I think that most men don't care much about the actual weight, it is all in how the weight looks on you. They don't care if you have a few extra pounds as long as you have curves. If it is in proportion to the rest of you. If it still looks good, they are ok with it.
- Response by iamboo2, A Thinker, Female, 46-55, Charlotte, Therapist
Most of us couldn't care less about those ridiculous body image issues that you women obsess over.
- Response by steve67, A Rebel, Male, Who Cares?
Women really don't get it. Sooo many women have this narrow view of men that we expect perfect butts and boobs and that any less is to be treated as yesterday's newspaper. Few of us guys have perfect bodies ourselves and thus don't expect that of a woman. You are approaching middle age. Us middle aged guys do not at all expect a perfect body, just so that you are not really overweight
- Response by gilpill, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 46-55, Chicago, Internet / New Media
I think men don't really 'notice' when a woman has a little 'extra' around the waist or the hips because it actually gives more 'cushion for the pushing'...lol...realis tically, I think men like a woman with a little meat on her bones because it gives the impression that she is soft and lovable...women obsess over their bodies enough, men just love a woman who is confident and takes care of herself...:D

A teenager was nearly kidnapped early Friday morning while she was walking home from a Walmart in Orlando.
Keyla Cange, 18, told Local 6 she was walking from the store on Kirkman Road around 1:20 a.m. when she was grabbed from behind by a man.
Cange said she screamed and the man ran back to his blue sedan and drove off through the Walmart parking lot.
"He just grabbed me, like he was trying to hug me or something and I couldn't even mace him because I was so scared," Cange told Local 6. "I didn't even scream loud because I was just such in shock, nothing like that has ever happened to me before."
She said she went to the store to get something to eat. Although she was carrying mace, she said she was too scared to use it.
A search of the area failed to locate the man, who was described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and in his early 20s. He was wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and no socks or shoes.
"At night, a lot of times I see young women walking, walking in front of the store always at night and it always got me worried," said Tony Shuman, who owns a business nearby.
No injuries were reported.
"Stuff happens, that's life," Cange said. "I mean, thank God I'm still alive, thank God I'm still alive."

Seriously though, if this was a second round pick I'd not be nearly as disappointed as I am. Like a few others have said, the best secondary in the league can't hold up if the QB has all day.

Re: Devin McCourty
posted at 4/23/2010 10:08 AM EDTI don't care if BB drafted the reincarnation of Ryan Leaf (the worst draft bust ever), I still would despise the Jets. The fans are trying to sue the PATS for "spy gate" for goodness sakes.
I am not thrilled by the pick because I thought the Pats would get a quality rusher in the first round, but with wes welker possible missing the first half of the season the pats were left without there primary kickoff returner and that need along with adding depth to a solid secondary is addressed. This player is a physical guy (80 stops his senior year). Lastly, the pats superbowl wins were with a team who was filled with "no namers".

Re: Devin McCourty
posted at 4/23/2010 10:33 AM EDTI have been criticizing the Patriots' drafts for the past five years. They have traded places with the Oakland Raiders, and seen determined to throw away whatever advantage might have come from selecting a great player in the first round. When they are not trading out of the first round, they pick players few other teams want and who do not meet a current need. Someone please explain to me why they do this, and why they seem to care so little for fan opinion.

Re: Devin McCourty
posted at 4/23/2010 10:37 AM EDTI'm a die-hard Pats fan. I'm not sure of why all the negativity after 1 pick. Everyone wanted Kindle and he's still on the board. He was passed over 32 times. The Pats had 12 picks last year and they are all still on the roster + 4 free agent signings (including backup quaterback) are still on the roster. I haven't given up on Ron Brace and he is just 1 of 12. Today is the real Pats draft day with 3 2nd rounders and a newly acquired 3rd. And next year we have the mighty Oakland Raiders 1st pick. Sweet! Here's hoping BB finds the Sebastin Volmer equivalent for the DL or LB (or both).

Re: Devin McCourty
posted at 4/23/2010 10:57 AM EDTIn Response to Re: Devin McCourty:mb, to me, picking mcourty per se is not the issue. i have not doubt that mcourty would be a good addition. the issue is picking him where you could have addressed bigger needs that are harder to fill. mcourty would have been available in the second round. if bb really wanted him after picking up someone else at 22 or 24 or 27, and was concerned mcourty would not have been there at 44, he could have traded back up in the second. i guess he could still trade up to target a pass rusher or ol or dl in the second if he wanted to.

I highly doubt that. I have a feeling that the jets would have picked McCourty, had we passed on him.

Re: Devin McCourty
posted at 4/23/2010 11:41 AM EDTIn Response to Re: Devin McCourty:Folks, just because you have followed Mock Drafts for the past 2+ months doesn't make you a knowledgeable GM. Have you ever wondered why guys like Kiper and McShay work for ESPN? It's because they are not professional talent evaluators. They would be working for an NFL team if they were. I'm sorry but I simply trust BB more than some of these ESPN "experts". These are the same experts panning draft selections of players such as Sebastian Vollmer and Logan Mankins. Did you hear Kiper talk about Vollmer being a 7 th RD talent just last year? Now he's our LT of the future. Just saying….
Posted by GrantW
Did you notice how Gruden was trying not to crack up every time Kiper opened his mouth. LOL
Re: Devin McCourty
posted at 4/23/2010 12:05 PM EDTOK, let's look at this logically, for all you arm-chair Mel Kipers out there.
First, a big knock on McCourty is that he had 1 pick last year and 5 in his career. It makes sense to me that if McCourty is worhty of a first round pick (which clearly the Pats thought, and Scouts Inc. agreed with) then he was likely the best defensive player on Rutgers. If you are an OC in the Big East would you go anywhere near the best player on a team when there were likely many opportunities for success elsewhere? I have heard comments backing this up that he wasn't thrown at all that much. It is often the case in the NFL where the guy considered the best CB doesn't have the most picks simply because of lack of oppurtunity.
Combine that with excellent special teams play and here is a kid that can make an impact various ways. Also, with the league being more pass-happy, defenses are in the nickel a lot more often. Do you really trust Whilite or Wheatley to be that 3rd CB? I don't.
On to the pass rush. Everyone was screaming for Kindle. Oops, reports are now he may need micro-fracture surgery on his knee. No thanks.
It's almost like the people in charge of the draft in Foxboro did some research, unlike the people on this board just regurgitating what Mel Kiper and Todd McShay are telling them.
Re: Devin McCourty
posted at 4/23/2010 12:07 PM EDTConsider that te Pats identified their man (McCourtney), then made the trade for Holt. This way they added some WR help, as they passed on the draft choice (Dez) that might have brought some along. The Pats now filled two needs; spent one pick.
Re: Devin McCourty
posted at 4/23/2010 12:10 PM EDTIn Response to Re: Devin McCourty:
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Devin McCourty : How do you know what the availibility of McCourty was? I don't buy the "we could have filled bigger needs" argument. Bigger needs according to who? The fan base? Clearly BB felt McCourty was a better player/value than any of the pass rushers available between 22 and 27. His track record of drafting quality players in rd 1 speaks for itself.
Posted by mbeaulieu07[/QUOTE
Yes, according to the fans. The last time the patriots took the field the ravens ran wild on the pats (literally). they passed for less than 50 yards and still blew the pats out. Your trying to tell me that the patriots went away from that game thinking, "damn we really need a cb?" when Chad Henne gets 7 and 8 seconds to throw it doesn't take a front office executive to say "hey the pats needs a pass rush"

Dercum's Disease (adiposis dolorosa) is not only a debilitating painful disease, but often a frustrating one. Patients often struggle to find reliable helpful resources about this disease for themselves, for their medical doctors, for their families, but also for disability and insurance claims. One would think that a disease that's been documented since the late 1800's would be widely recognized, but sadly, it's not the case.
Dercum's Disease is characterized by painful multiple fatty growths (lipomas and/or angiolipomas) that can vary widely in size. Some growths may be as tiny as a rice grain while others can be quite large and disfiguring. Contrary to some older literature, Dercum's Disease does affect both men and women- but men currently account for a small fraction of those diagnosed.
This website will provide links and titles to medical articles, support groups, and related information about Dercum's Disease and some associated disorders. Links will be provided so that articles may be printed or cited as needed.

Larry the Answer Guy: Scissor-tails able to cut through the air
What are the birds with the split tails? Is this a special dealer-installed option for the wind in West Texas? — Abilene
You must mean Tyrannus forficatus, commonly known as the scissor-tailed flycatcher. Their long tails help them twist and turn and dive and dart to catch flying insects — on windy or calm days.
Jay Packer, president of the Big Country Audubon Society, says the long tails are due to sexual selection. Males have longer tails than females, he says. With their long tails, males are about 14 inches long.
They are a member of the kingbird family. Other kingbirds do not have long tails, except for the fork-tailed flycatcher in Mexico and South America.
The scissor-tailed flycatcher is the state bird of Oklahoma, where there is quite a bit of wind, too. Talk about your birds of a feather flocking together — the Cornell Lab of Ornithology says scissor-tails form large premigratory roosts in late summer, with up to 1,000 birds in one flock.

Huge response with a thick smell of smoke at 46th and Brace Point.

Major response; we live on Fauntleroy near California and no less than 7 fire dept. vehicles have passed in the last 5minutes.

Huh – are all the sirens we just heard going past 35th/Barton at 9:45 pm related?

I heard the sirens! Sounds like a big response!

At 21:44 we heard sirens of response vehicles crossing 35th heading down Barton. My sweetie counted at least 2 engines, 1 ladder & an aid car.

I can always count on WSB to tell me why sirens are blasting by my house. Thanks for being the answer to my questions.

I've always wondered what it'd be like to get any rescue apparatus down into that neighborhood, much less several vehicles! Good job SFD :)

Thank heavens no one was hurt …. Living right in the same neighborhood on Brace Pt., we always wondered whether the big rigs could make the tight turn down to 51st SW !
Thanks and great job to the SFD !!!

Yeah, I just got that from Kyle, who I had hit up for the cause earlier today and am adding the link. No earlier indication it was a crime – so we had focused our followup with SFD … TR
Komo said it was a female owner of the home that set it on fire!

As noted in the SPD Blotter item to which we have linked and from which all media outlets are getting info on the arrest, them and us and whomever else is reporting on it – the person in jail for investigation of arson is on record as an owner of the home. I have added some information beyond that and we'll be checking with the Prosecuting Attorney's Office to see if she'll have a bail hearing this afternoon. – TR
the news reports are also saying that she has mental health issues…
Which is also directly taken from SPD Blotter, same item we linked above this morning. Citywide media didn't even bother going to the fire last night. We'll find out more when she appears for a bail hearing tomorrow.
In regards to the ruling of the arrested woman, her bail has been denied. I was the first one to report the fire after seeing it from the front door window and also inform the fire marshals of someone I had noticed prior to the fire. It's sad to say that I do know the woman and her family very well.

The woman was denied bail and does have mental problems. I was the first person to report of the fire and to be questioned by the firefighters and two others. I provided information that led to the beginnings of suspecting the woman. I'm sad to say that I do know the woman and her family very well.

Suji, thanks. "Bail denied" is the initial status for most accused of major crimes, and I know that's what is on the register for her, but the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office said that since she was booked this morning, her bail hearing – at which a bail amount almost certainly WILL be set – would be tomorrow. They are the official source of that information for those of us in the media. Once there is a bail hearing, they also usually release the probable-cause documentation that is supplied to the judge for her/his decision on bail, and that's where we get a few more details of what happened. If mental-health trouble renders someone incompetent to stand trial, that generally will be determined as they go through the system. – TR

Okay, so lately I've been gearing myself a lot toward college in the ways I ride and such. I have recently been thinking a lot, and I've come to the thinking that there are really only 2 horses that I would be able to even think about taking to college and they're Buddy and Daisy. I don't want to take Daisy because 1. She's my brothers horse and 2. I feel like a giant on her because she's sort of short.
So this leaves Buddy for me, which I am just fine with. I really like him, seeing as how he was my first horse that I could call 'my own.' So far, he's had 30 days of professional training, but before I swnt him to training he would already do basic groundwork, willingly accept a bit, and had started learning a bit of the cues under saddle. Since he got back from training, I have been slacking a lot on working with him because I had been working toward the 4-H show and a few other things.
Now I'm trying to get him back into the swing of things and I'm just trying to figure out how to do it exactly. When we left off his training, he was a bi bull-headed at times and wouldnt trot without the tap, sometimes more, of a crop. When lunging, he sometimes has a hard time keeping a trot without going into his weird gaity-thing and liked to invade space when he went around occasionally.
I'm at about the same stage with Daisy right now, except she's more willing to trot under saddle , but doesn't lunge and she is a lot younger (she's 3, he's 5 or 6 I think, I have NO clue why I can't remember right now, lol.) Also, Buddy stands very well for the farrier, and Daisy has yet to learn though she isnt horrible, and Daisy loads but Buddy can be a pain.
So back to the original point of my post, tell me what you would do as far as which horse you would choose, and whichever horse you choose, please tell me where you would start with their training.
I'd like to get into English riding and jumping eventually, but right now I do western pleasure, halter, contesting etc. in 4-H.
