It's an event that's been going on for 12 years now in our area, but only in the last few years has it received the attention it deserves.
The Richland Park Horse Trials this weekend at Richland Park brings around 500 of the top riders and horses to our area for competition in dressage and cross country and jumping competitions. Perhaps you've stumbled on to some of this while watching the Olympics on TV and if so, you've probably seems some of the competitors in the Richland event because several Olympians come here every year.
The horses are beautiful and skilled and the riders have an amazing connection to their animals which enables them to compete at the top of their game.
And, Richland Park itself is an amazing venue. It's over 250 acres of land located on 30th Street between East D Avenue and M-89 East of Richland and owned by Bob and Kay Willmarth, who live adjacent to the property. Horse lovers themselves, they purchased the land with the hope of someday hosting an event such as this and in 2001 their dream came true.
The competition courses are spread out all across this wide landscape and worth a walk thru to see the creative obstacles that the riders and horses will content with in their competition. There are spectator shuttles as well. It's a very festive atmosphere ripe with tradition and intense focus from the competitors.
It's certainly worth an afternoon to experience the venue and event. Spectator admission is free, however, there is a $10 parking fee which benefits the Cheff Theraputic Riding Center in Augusta.

Leg Problems, Noninjury
Topic Overview
Minor leg problems, such as sore muscles, are common. Leg problems commonly occur during sports or recreational activities, work-related tasks, and work or projects around the home. Leg problems also can be caused by injuries. If you think your leg problem is related to an injury, see the topic Leg Injuries.
Leg problems may be minor or serious and may include symptoms such as pain, swelling, cramps, numbness, tingling, weakness, or changes in temperature or color. Symptoms often develop from exercise, everyday wear and tear, or overuse.
Older adults have a higher risk for leg problems because they lose muscle mass as they age. Children may have leg problems for the same reasons as adults or for reasons specific to children. Problems are often caused by overactivity or the rapid growth of bone and muscle that occurs in children.
It may be helpful to know the structure of the leg to better understand leg problems. See pictures of:
Leg problems that are not related to a specific injury have many causes.
Some leg problems are seen only in children, such as swelling at the top of the shinbone (Osgood-Schlatter disease) and swelling and pain in the knee joint (juvenile idiopathic arthritis). Growing pains are common among rapidly growing children and teens and are probably caused by differences in growth rates of muscle, bone, and soft tissue. These pains often last for 1 or 2 hours at a time and can wake a child from sleep.
Swollen feet are common after you have been sitting or standing for long periods of time or during hot or humid weather. Sitting or lying down and elevating your legs will often relieve this type of swelling. Conditions that put increased pressure on the belly and pelvis, such as obesity and pregnancy, also can cause swelling in the feet and ankles and varicose veins.
Many medicines can cause problems in the legs. For example, birth control pills and other hormones can increase your risk of blood clots, while water pills (diuretics), heart medicines, and cholesterol-lowering medicines (statins) can cause muscle cramps.
Some leg problems are only present at night:
Most minor leg problems will heal on their own, and home treatment may be all that is needed to relieve symptoms and promote healing. But serious leg problems also may occur and require prompt evaluation by a doctor.
Check your symptoms to decide if and when you should see a doctor.

Battlefield 3 Leading on PC; Dedicated Servers Planned, Mod Tools on the BackburnerBattlefield 3 is being developed with a distinct PC focus, according to the GameInformer cover story (via Joystiq). Executive producer Patrick Bach says the team is "focusing on PC first, and then we fiddle with it to fit it onto consoles."
The game will support dedicated servers, and is sticking with four selectable classes (referred to as "the sweet spot"). Forming up into squads is also getting tweaked, but Bach is holding those details close to the vest for the time being.
Some fans might be disappointed to learn that mod tools are taking a back seat to polishing the main game for the time being. "We will not deliver mod tools in the way we delivered them for Battlefield 2," said Bach. "Creating mod tools today -- dumbing them down -- takes a lot of energy and what we are discussing more every day is, 'Where do we put our focus?'"
He continued, "Right now our focus is to create the best possible multiplayer, single-player, and co-op game -- the core game of Battlefield 3. We're still discussing how we handle modifications of any kind."
More Battlefield 3 information is planned for GDC 2011. A beta, which shipped with select copies of Medal of Honor, is also in the works but has yet to be dated.

Now that I am close to my due date and Gabriel's passing aniversary is coming I keep getting the following comment "Wow, wouldn't it be great if this baby would be born on the same date Gabriel passed away?" Ughh..it is so irritating.
Mom to Leon(2008)Marcelo 2010 and Gabriel 2007
I got a few...
1) how are you doing are you doing okay?
2) There was probably something wrong with the baby to being with
3) if you look at your religious views..god needed it more then you..and! God has a plan
4) it's in a better place
5) it was not meant to be
6)Oh can't forget this one at the OBGYN..the doc. said doesn't need the ultrasound CD so here you can have it back
yeah all of those question just makes me feel so much better, and just reminds me that I just lost the most wonderful thing that you could be blessed with. I am thank-ful I do have a wonderful little girl but she'll never get to know/meet her brother/sister.
Last edited by Stormgrl81; 08-06-2010 at 10:31 AM.
I didn't lose my baby, but she was premature and very little. But I got one from my stepdad a couple weeks after Bec was born. 'At least she was small. If she were any bigger, you would have been HUGE.' And I remember hearing 'At least you don't have to take her home right away, you can focus on getting better.'
Ladies.... I just want to give you all big big big. I've read this entire thread and I'm just sick by what people have said. I too have had losses... 3 miscarriages. I can't remember exactly the things that people had said to me... but some of the comments I've read here ring bells. It truly amazes me how heartless people can be... I'm so sorry.
I'm surprised I never posted this.
After my second miscarriage, my BFF (who's never been known for tact) says to me, "Maybe you need to use a surrogate."
Not just once did she say this, but twice. Once when I called her to tell her I miscarried, and the second time when I was trying to talk to her about how depressed I was and how I was going through fertility treatments.
I just had a co-worker that sits 3 feet away from me talk for 15 minutes about all of the things she bought for her future grandchild. She got her bfp like two weeks ago and they are already getting a crib. I wanted to say boy I wish I could be that excited two weeks after a bfp but I have to worry if I will even make it past the first trimester and then if my baby will live past a month old. Not to mention the fact that this month I had to do 13 days of Follistim, an Ovidrel shot, and an IUI just to hope to maybe be pregnant. Ugh. I am having a bitter day.
My dh is a piece of work I tell you!! Today he told me and I quote: "You need to stop f***ing around and get pregnant. Our kids are already going to be too far apart as it is!" REALLY?? Yeah it was my choice to lose our precious angels!! Since my last loss I have lost 50 lbs and gotten in shape (I guess that's what he considers flucking around!!
We are currently not on speaking terms and it is going to stay that way until he kisses my @$$!!!!!!!! I was in tears after that comment and he has NO idea why!!
well just two days ago i was at Party city getting some stuff for my daughters b-day party and there was an employee crying by a back room i asked if she was ok and she told me that she had a miscarriage i told her my story and i gave her my # if she ever needed to talk then one of her co-workers came out and said "are u still crying its no big deal u would have sucked as a mom anyway, if u lost the baby its cuz u did something wrong and your being punished!" i fipped out i told her she sucked as a person!
I didn't know this existed until I got bored and started poking around on here. I didn't outwardly grieve my first 3 angels, but I outwardly grieved my fourth and was met with the following. Some of these things were repeated back to me by my ex.
"I bet she wasn't even pregnant. You guys have been having problems and I bet she made it all up!" Ex's mother
"Are you sure it was yours?" Ex's sister and since then I've wanted to knock her flat on her overly inflated behind. I never gave him a reason to question my fidelity to him.
"At least you won't be spending new year in the delivery room." Someone I worked with. My DD was January 1, 2008. I was with DH at the time and neither of us celebrated the New Year because we were both grieving (I, the loss of my Charlie and DH, the anniversary of his cousins death).
"You aren't ready for kids and I'm not ready to be a grandmother." MY Mother!
"At least you know you can get pregnant." I've heard this one more times than I can count since I started TTC with DH.
"At least we don't have anything that forces us to be tied together now." MY EX during our final breakup. I would have been more than happy to raise that baby by myself and DH told me that he would have been happy to raise it as his own.
"You did this on purpose to make me stay didn't you?" My ex again when I finally told him about the mc. We were having relationship problems at the time we conceived and I was terrified to tell him that I was pregnant for fear of this comment. Guess I was right.
"Where's the proof you were pregnant?" My ex who wanted to discredit me. I didn't have anything to give him so automatically I was a liar.
It amazes me just how insensitive people can be. My younger stepsister Tif got pregnant a couple years ago and lost her daughter Alexis at 13 weeks. Her sister who was due a week later with her healthy son Josh said "at least we don't have to worry about going into labor on the same day" and "at least you aren't going to get fat" and "at least you don't have stretchmarks like I do". Tif and I talk a lot during her grieving process of her daughter and I refused to talk to KC for a long time afterwards. It shocks me because KC knew better after having a mc at 16 with her first pregnancy (which I helped her through I might add).

Hi, I've spent like an hour reading all these posts and I am so sorry people have been so insensitive, I dont understand. I dont know if I should really post, its still really hard for me to talk about this. I lost my son when I was 15 and I get comments when I tell people that that its 'a good thing because [i] was so young' or I couldnt take care of him so its good that he's with God and not me. The worst comments Ive ever got came from my mother and father. My mother kicked me out after I came out about abuse in the house and sent me to live in SD with my father (who left us when I was 5)
My mother when I found out I was pregnant and called her 'NOOOOOOO!! Do you have money? Ill send you some for the abortion!' I said 'I'm not having an abortion, I dont believe in it' and she hung up on me
When I was 6 months pregnant my father found a pack of cigarettes in my room (I wasnt smoking at that time but had before) and brought me downstairs, held me down into a chair and shoved the whole pack down my throat, I went into labor that night and my grandmother brought me to urgent care but had to call my father to bring me to ER 60 miles away. He picked me up and I labored all the way there, being shushed from the front seat. Finally at the hospital he just told them I was having stomach pain and they put me in a dark room and my father locked himself in there with me and wouldnt let anyone come in. I gave birth and they took the baby, he died and I have no idea what they ever did with him, I dont even know if he was buried. On the drive home, my son had been dead less then 24 hours and I was numb and my father said 'Because of this stupid pregnancy thing I've wasted more gas then the past year' and 'I hope you didnt tell any of your friends you were ever pregnant, so just tell them you really werent'
I called my mother and told her and she said 'well thats good' when I came back to live with her, she said 'I had 2 miscarriages and I am glad because I would have 6 kids if I didnt, you should be happy, we all are'. My little sister once told me 'your such a sl**, got pregnant by a cripple, no wonder you had a miscarriage' (1st: it wasnt a miscarriage, he was born alive and died, 2nd: I never told my mother who his father was but he wasnt handicapped)
I had a miscarriage when I was 11 and never told anyone but the person who abused me and got me pregnant calls me every name he can think of 'sl**, wh***, spread open' when I have seen him and my mother says I'm a 'sl**' too. I dont talk or see any of these people anymore but as much as my loss still hurts the comments come to me randomly and tear me up inside.

I am appalled and offended for each of you on this forum. I can't believe people have said such unfeeling, insensitive things to you all.
I am sorry for everyone's loss. You each have the right to grieve in your own way for however long it takes you.
God Bless!
Wow, desertgirl, you are dealing with so many different kinds of emotional trauma, it is a wonder you are still standing. My one miscarriage seemed to drive me to the edge of sanity and sadness, I can't imagine if I had been through what you have. Hope you have someone in your corner because you need a good support system. Please know that your past does not determine your future unless you let it. Hopefully, you will be in a position to have another beautiful, healthy child and have some healthier people in your life.
I was telling an acquaintance (she'd asked since she saw on fb about my impending miscarriage) about how the baby never developed but the placenta and sac continued to grow, thus making me feel pregnant still. And she said something like, "Isn't it amazing how God makes our bodies know exactly how to grow when we're pregnant?" Um, no, doesn't feel so amazing right now. It feels more like my body's betrayed me.
And I hate the "Oh, this is probably a good thing. God knew the child would have difficulties/whatever/etc." While this is true, it still hurts and I don't want to hear it!
"Well, this is good, cuz now you'll stop being *****y, and knowing you, had you known you were pregnant you probably would have aborted anyway!"
I never had any really horrible comments made, just some harsh circumstances. We lost our first pregnancy at 9 weeks. After that our close friend had her fourth child (never had any complications with any pregnancy), two of our counsins announced their pregnancies, I had an interview at a daycare two days after my m/c and they wanted to see how I would be in the infant room (The director later apologized not knowing that I had m/ced). Whenever I was feeling upset about our loss, after awhile it seemed that people got bored with my pain. I stopped talking about and whenever pregnancy/ infant death came up, I would hold it all in and deal later. People don't realize that even after the birth of my beautiful boys, I still remember that day August 16, 2006. I still get ticked at the term Sponaneous abortion, even though it is medically accurate it still SOUNDS like I didn't want my baby and my body "knew" it. My heart breaks for every mother that has lost a child no matter the age. It hurts.
Just had to put this one on here:
When my sister-in-law (who was mad as can be when she found out she was pregnant) was close to giving birth to my niece, her due date was around Harley's death date. My brother says "I think it would be kind of nice to have her on the 18th. It might make that day easier." For who??? Not your daughter who will forever wonder why Aunt Jamie cries at her birthday parties and certainly not for me who will have a constant reminder of what my boy should have been doing. Thankfully, she was born a couple of days before.

Isma Jr. is 6 weeks old today and has been having horrible gas pains..he squirms and groans all day/night and strains and pushes and seems to have relief once he has a bowel movement or passes gas. He is not constipated as his bowel movements are soft/watery.
I breastfeed for 20-30 minutes and then give him 3-5 ounces of formula. I have tried mylicon drops but they don't seem to be working. I am considering switching him to similac alimentum a hypoallergenic formula, has anyone else tried this?
We saw his pediatrician but all she could say was 'it's colic and it'll pass'. But he cries and wiggles in pain :(
Any advice?

Trained as a sculptor, David Yurman approaches the design of a piece of jewelry from every angle. "It's about the whole piece," he says. "How it feels in your hand, how it looks on the back as well as the front." He combines shape and form to create designs with volume and dimension—wearable sculpture.
"Form is form," he explains, "whether it hangs on a wall, goes on a pedestal, goes on a wrist, or goes on a neck. Learning how to balance a little sculpture on a stand is really no different from learning how to balance a stone on the end of a bracelet."
From his earliest days designing jewelry, David Yurman has been captivated by the beauty and elegance of pearls. He brings his innovative artistry to these classic, luminous gems by encircling them with his iconic Cable, pairing them with other stones, or beading them on chain necklaces.

Back to Dressing up, Dressing down
Men's and women's swimming clothes changed dramatically between 1850 and 1900 as swimming for recreation became increasingly popular. During the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries medical doctors aimed to cure a wide range of health problems through immersion in (or purging with) invigoratingly cold fresh sea-water, but this did not usually involve actual swimming. Bathing clothes, therefore, did not require much freedom of movement and women's costumes were restrictive, consisting of a tubular, ankle-length woollen dress with neck and arm openings. Women also wore voluminious drawstring bathing caps to protect their hair, rather like large fabric versions of the modern shower cap.
After the middle of the nineteenth century, swimming for exercise and enjoyment became an increasingly popular pastime, although men and women were invariably required to bathe separately for most of the nineteenth century. As seen in this print, for modesty, female bathers changed into swimming clothes in bathing machines, or huts on wheels, which could be drawn up to the water's edge for entering the sea.

Melissa's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
Lakers, of course! They have endured so many changes and downfalls this season, including Jerry Buss's death, however, this team keeps on fighting hard! I'm so proud of the team we have and Kobe just turned on the fire, so everyone better get ready to watch teams burn in Kobes path.
What's your favorite movie quote?
It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The "hard" is what makes it great. Tom Hanks - A League of their Own
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
OMG!!! Mario Kart all the way!! I'm a race car diva when me and the "Princess" are racing through your town. Danica Patrick ain't got anything on me!
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
Yes. I have my bellybutton, nose, ears and used to have my tongue pierced.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
hahaha.... Vanilla Ice- Ice Ice baby.... Hey, I make that song look good. Oh, and everyone is wearing hammer pants now... so why not rock 'em the right way :)
What's your best party trick?
I dont know if this is a real party trick, but I'm a pro-wrestler, so I always dare those who can, to try to get out of my famous "Ole Anderson" arm bar. That always gets the crowd going.

Girl you so fine I wish I could plant you and grow a whole field of y'all!
What's the worst job you've ever had?
Selling knifes, door to door. And these were not cheap knifes either, so can you imagine trying to sell them door to door with a $200 price tag, for only 4 knifes. My family were the only ones that ended up buying anything from me. They just felt bad I guess. I love my family.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?

Police said just after 8:00 a.m. Thursday, the 64-year-old homeowner of a house on Hilton Road was running out on her daily routine. As she backed her Dodge Charger out of the driveway, she thought something hit her driver side mirror. Instead of putting the car in park, she put it in reverse, pinning herself between the house and the car when she tried to get out.Neighbors watched in horror not sure what was happening. Cecilia Thompson said the homeowner has no known medical issues, keeps to herself and is always busy. "She works for the State of Michigan, and she does work really late hours," Thompson said. "She travels back and forth to Lansing, so she does come in at odd hours."Southfield police said the woman was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries to her arm, but the rescue took some time. Police reached into the car and put it in park. Crews then crawled on top of the Charger trying to figure out the safest way to free the driver.Workers were able to shift the car, eventually freeing the woman. She is expected to make a full recovery.

Stephen Chbosky's award winning book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" was originally published in 1999. Movie offers came immediately, but the author explained why he held out until the time was right.
"It did well right off the bat, and then I had some studios offer me like a good six figures kind of thing and I was broke," he said. "What made this right for me at the end of the day, I was waiting to be ready to get enough distance to do a proper adaptation. That was really important to me. I didn't want to just film a book. I had to make it a movie."
"You don't sell babies," he added.
Chbosky, a Pittsburgh native who also wrote and directed the film, told us that he loves Michigan and has friends throughout the state.
The movie stars Ezra Miller and 22-year-old Harry Potter star Emma Watson as the girl of his affection.
"The Perks of Being a Wallflower" is rated PG-13 . Click here for more information about the film.

There were four different versions of this puzzle produced in the nineties:Version with 2 colors, 4 colors, 6 colors and the dinosaur version. All four can be found in this museum.An idea so simple that one might wonder why it was not produced earlier thatn 1995. The first samples of the Dino Cube were designed and made out of paper independently by Robert Webb from Australia in 1985 and Stephen Harvey from New Zealand in 1990.In 1995 mass production of this puzzle (the version with the dinosaurs) started. Liang-Yen Wu convinced S.Y. Liou to also produce the versions with 2, 4 and 6 colors.Wu distributed the puzzles and initially called the puzzles Corner-turning Cubes. It shall be noted that in 1998 James R Holloway applied for a patent which was granted in 2000 under the number given above but that was after the puzzle has already seen the light of day.Edge length: 59mmWeight: 158gr

1945 Norfork Dam - This project was designed by the Army Corps of Engineers for flood control and was jointly sponsored by Morris on-Knudsen and Utah with Morris on-Knudsen men in charge. A straight gravity concrete structure, 222 feet high and 2, 624 feet long, the dam is located in north-central Arkansas on the Northfork River which is part of the White River. The Northfork, long noted for its sudden and disastrous floods, was diverted in three stages by earth dikes, cribbing and cofferdams. Two 1 0-ton Lidger- wood cableways, each with a span of 2, 835 feet, were set up to place the 1,533,245 cubic yards of concrete in the dam and powerhouse. The job started in April, 1941. War came with the year's end, and in September, 1942, the project was reorganized to produce early electricity for strategic metal pro- duction in Arkansas. A rush-order power plant was added to the plans. With the over -all speed-up brought by the power house, concrete placement from the cableways was stepped up 60 percent by hauling concrete over a truck ramp to a pouring area in fast, three-yard Koehring Dumptor trucks, transferring it to a shuttle car which alternately filled two cableway buckets in rapid succession. A series of flash floods destroyed the truck ramp, but not before it had largely served its purpose, Special care was taken in the handling of the leanest mix of concrete ever poured into a dam up to that time. Near-freezing water from an ice plant was pumped through a network of steel pipes in the dam to cool the concrete which generates tremendous heat in its settlement. In hot summer crushed ice was used in the concrete mix to keep the temperature as low as possible. During the Christmas season of 1942, a 34-foot flood, the next to the highest ever recorded for the Northfork River by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, rose from heavy rains in five hours. Water pouring over the cofferdams swirled through the work area and destroyed a low-water bridge. Debris swept against the work trestle, twisting and damaging the steel girders. In may of the next year an even more destructive flood covered the dam site. Although the partially completed structure protected much valuable downstream farmland, many days of construction time were lost. One generator producing 35, 000 kilowatts was installed in 1944 with provision made for three future generators in the same structure. The dam makes a lake 40 miles long, holding 1,983,000 acre -feet of water to generate this electric power, in addition to stopping the floods of the once destructive Northfork River.

Smoking at the Park?!?!
So we took my kids to the park over the weekend and took a little break for some water in the 85 degree heat.
While at the park, there was a younger couple (I'm guessing mid-20's) who were there with some children. (I'm guessing they weren't their parents, but rather aunt/uncle perhaps or even older cousins.)
They were sitting in the grass about 20 feet away from the park's playground, and they were smoking cigarettes. In my 2+ years of going to the park playground with my kids, I've never come across somebody who is smoking that close.
My first thought was: What the hell are you thinking?!?!
Then, I figured, that at-least they weren't sitting right on the park bench IN the playground area where the kids were...and maybe by luck - the wind wasn't blowing the smoke at the kids.
But still...I'm thinking: "...seriously?? Who thinks it's a good idea to smoke around kids?!?"
Look, if you smoke and choose to have it around your kids, that is by all-means your business. If you choose to smoke outdoors in public, let's say downtown, or walking down the sidewalk, OK - I get it. But smoking at PARK PLAYGROUND that close to kids?!?!
Should I have said something???? Am I being an uptight parent??
How close to the park playground IS okay to smoke??? I'd love to hear your thoughts below....

D'Lynn Waldron is a portrait artist who has developed a photo of what she thinks Prince George Alexander Louis will look like as a teenager.
She created this picture through her process of "age-progressed" portraiture which is "forensically based on all available source materials including genetics, lifestyle, medical history, personality, environment and how gravity will affect that person's face" according to her website.
Not a bad looking Prince right? I guess we will have to wait another 15 years to see is she is right or at least close.

Spending time with family and loved ones may be what makes the holiday season special for many people. However, children in the state's care may face difficulties finding reasons to celebrate.
"As a parent, I want children to understand the real meaning of Christmas and enjoy the time with their families, because that is what makes the holiday so special," said Sandra Samuel, Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) supervisor. "But for children in foster care, they may be dealing with family issues that make focusing on holidays out-right horrible."

It was announced earlier this week that Bruce Willis was not going to be in Expendables 3. It was also announced that Harrison Ford has joined the cast. I haven't seen either Expendables or Expendables 2, so I don't know if this is earth shattering or not. I'm guessing not.
Things got interesting for me when Sylvester Stallone took to Twitter to announce to the Twitterverse that Willis is both lazy and greedy. Maybe Stallone should rewrite Creed and call it Greed. Rocky vs. McClane? Sign me up.

Severe Post-surgical Food Stagnation in a Golden Retreiver
by Bruce Ferguson
An eight year old spayed golden retriever female presented with a one year history of severe post-operative bloating, abdominal distension and discomfort. One year prior she had undergone an emergency surgery for a gastric torsion with volvulus. The surgery was essentially an abdominal approach to the stomach in which the torsion and volvulus was reduced. To reduce future torsions the right side of the stomach was permanently attached to the inner aspect of the right abdominal wall. From the day of surgery she has had severe bloating and abdominal distension within 1-3 hours after eating her meals.

This wild fox was caught in quite the pickle... jar. (Sorry. heh)
How cool was that?!
Not sure if this is accurate, but the current top YouTube comment is apparently the guys' dialog translated to English:
0:12 - He is coming towards us on his own.
0:15 - It's a fox!
0:19 - Hold the phone and keep filming.
0:25 - Man he really got himself stuck.
0:30 - Where is my thanks?
0:31 - THANKS! (The friend mimics as if the fox is saying it)
0:33 - He saw us and came to us.
0:35 - He would have died otherwise.

Detroit will not be the next home for the X Games. ESPN announced Wednesday that Austin, Texas will host the extreme sports event beginning in 2014.The primary site will be the Circuit of the Americas sports and entertainment complex, which opened last November by hosting the Formula One U.S. Grand Prix.Austin was chosen over three other finalists: Chicago, Detroit and Charlotte, N.C.The X Games features events like skateboarding, Moto X and BMX freestyle. It will wrap up an 11-year run in Los Angeles with this summer's event Aug. 1-4. It will be the last of 6 X Games events this year.
The first X Games in Austin will be next May 15-18.
The push to bring the games to the Motor City began with an online campaign created by Kevin Krease and Garret Koehler from Action Sports Detroit LLC. The pair submitted a bid to ESPN earlier this year. Since then, the X Games Detroit Bid Facebook page has received over 17,000 likes and the official X Games Detroit Bid video has been viewed over 270,000 times on YouTube.
Kris Smith with the Detroit Sports Commission didn't let the news get him down. He says the agency is working to bring other big name events to the city. "It's an opportunity to show what's going right in Detroit," said Smith.Online:xgames.espn.go.comwww.xgamesdetroit.com

Former Cleveland Browns team captain D'Qwell Jackson said he tried multiple occasions to help troubled wide receiver Josh Gordon.
Jackson, now the Indianapolis Colts linebacker, and Gordon were teammates for two seasons in 2012 and 2013.
Jackson told ESPN.com that he took it upon himself to counsel Gordon about focusing on football and doing the right things off the field.
After Gordon was arrested on Saturday morning for suspected DWI in Raleigh, N.C., Jackson tweeted:
"If you're close to Josh Gordon please help this kid, it's not about football anymore it's about picking up the pieces of his life."
Gordon led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards last season, but this latest arrest puts his playing career in jeopardy.
"He needs help, he really does," Jackson told ESPN.com. "He needs people to extend themselves and probably have to do more than they wanted to do. But if (the Browns) care anything about the kid, they have to do it."
Two other people who have worked closely with Gordon told ESPN's Ed Werder that he has issues with substance abuse dating back to high school and have urged him to seek professional assistance.
Jackson said he plans to reach out to Gordon again soon, but he is not sure Gordon would take his assistance.
"At this point, calling the cellphone is not going to work," Jackson said. "You have to fly out to him. You have to fly out to wherever he is, take him to dinner and pick his brain to see what's important to him."
Raleigh police captain Tommy Klein told ESPN that Gordon was "appreciably impaired." Gordon was taken into custody after being stopped for going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone on U.S. 70 in northwest Raleigh around 3 a.m., according to the Associated Press.
Gordon, 23, was released on bail. No attorney was list on court records.
Browns general manager Ray Farmer said the team is aware of the arrest and is disappointed. He did not comment further.
Gordon could face a one-year suspension from the NFL for a previous failed drug test. He was suspended two games last season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.
Gordon's appeal hearing was set for later this month unless the league and the NFLPA agree on a reduced suspension before that, according to NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk.
Gordon pleaded not guilty to a speeding ticket in June. He was pulled over for driving 74 mph in a 60 mph zone on May 25 and fined $187. His passenger was cited for possessing less than 200 grams of marijuana.
Gordon made 87 catches last season and scored nine receiving touchdowns.

By Michael Arbeiter, Hollywood Staff
We all remember exactly where we were when our belief in magic, our ability to dream, our childlike innocence were dashed - that fateful day in fourth grade when we found out, via the graces of our vindictive older siblings, that professional wrestling is a total fake. Well, your youthful vigor is about to be reinstated, as the small screen, tights-bound antic is not quite as phony as you might believe: following his participation in 2013's WrestleMania, iconic wrestler/actor Dwayne ''The Rock'' Johnson was forced to undertake emergency hernia surgery on Monday, as reported by E!.
WrestleMania 29, which took place on Apr. 7, pit The Rock against former-MMA fighter John Cena, and ultimately landed him in the hospital two weeks later. On Apr. 8, Johnson tweeted the following nonchalant messages about his physical condition:
In the middle of last nights Wrestlemania match I tore my abdomen & adductor muscles off the bone. Just part of the job. But as we know..
- Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) April 8, 2013
..It's all about #JustBringIt. WWE Universe THANK YOU for all the love & well wishes. Means everything to me. #LeaveItAllInTheRing
- Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) April 8, 2013
Several days later, Johnson updated fans with another tweet:
Saw my Dr who had to push my intestines back thru the tear in my abdomen. Kinda romantic.Surgery is next week. #BringItOn
- Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) April 21, 2013
And after the surgery, on Tuesday, the Pain & Gain star put his followers' worries to rest:
Surgery a success! Dr repaired 3 hernial tears (fun pain). Superman is on the mend.. #WeFallWeRise twitter.com/TheRock/status
- Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) April 23, 2013
A rep confirmed to Hollywood.com that Johnson is presently home, recuperating. So now that the WWE mainstay is sitting pretty in good health, we can celebrate the silver lining of this news: Pro Wrestling is, indubitably, real. Take that, spiteful older brothers everywhere.

I considered trying the "Paleo" lifestyle as a New Years Resolution, but I talked my way out of it.
Not because I don't want to eat healthier (in-fact I stepped on the scale last week an have gained about 15lbs in the past year - all because of poor diet - not lack-of-exercise) it's just that I think I can achieve my weight-loss goals WITHOUT having to adopt the latest "fad." (I know the Paleo people would probably take offense to me calling it a "fad" - and I know that it's probably not....but it just seems to be the latest health-based lifestyle change that everyone is taking about.)
Anyway, here are my resolutions INSTEAD of going Paleo:
1-Limiting myself to 2000 calories or less every day.
2-Eating a LOT of lean protein (cottage cheese, tuna, turkey, chicken, greek yogurt) and try to avoid all "processed" foods (with the exception of whole-grains.)
3-Cut OUT a lot of sugar (I'm reducing my coffee cream intake to only 2 tbls/day, no sugary snacks etc..)
4-Dinners/snacks at night will NOT have refined carbs/sugar (no breads/cereals or sugary snacks)
5-Make sure to get 3-4 servings of VEGGIES in per day (this might be tough, but if I can eat veggies at-LEAST at lunch and supper, that will be a good start.)
My goal is to get down to 212lbs by 4/12 (my birthday) Currently I'm at 230lbs. I'll keep you posted.

Sex for money. In almost every state, prostitution is a crime. But what if we told you about a legal form of sex for cash right here in Arizona? It's considered a form of therapy.
Behind closed doors, therapy. Where getting comfortable doesn't mean lying on a therapist's couch, it means getting into bed. And the focus isn't on talking. It's touching, skin to skin contact, sometimes even sexual intercourse.
They're called surrogate partners. Helen hunt plays one in the new independent film "The Sessions." her client is a 38-year-old virgin quadriplegic.
But this isn't just playing out on the big screen, it's happening in bedrooms across the country.
Surrogates are typically women, but there are some men who do this for a living too.
"In my work with clients we would never take one stitch of clothes off before session seven or eight," says Shai Rotem, surrogate partner.
Shai Rotem has been a surrogate partner for several years. His female clients are of all ages.
"From 23 the youngest to 60 years old the oldest."
"Is it difficult though just being a man to go through intercourse with somebody that you may not be physically attracted to?" we asked Rotem.
"That's actually a very good question," he says. "With each every one of my clients I found this thing I like about them, this place that opens my heart and to have so much compassion for them, I know how to transform this energy into sexual energy."
According to Rotem, the pay is around $120-200 a session -- similar to what a regular therapist charges. So how did he get into this line of work?
He says a lot of his former girlfriends had sexual intimacy issues, so he would "coach" them.
He already had a degree in psychology, so he got professional training and eventually became a certified surrogate partner.
"Some people are impressed, most of the people are impressed, most of the people that know me a little bit before they know this piece about myself are not surprised at all. They say you know what, I'm not surprised, its part of your personality. You're very soothing, you're calm, you're relaxed, it's nice to be around you."
"I think there's a huge problem around surrogate partner therapy because of how misunderstood it really is," says Dr. Shannon Chavez, clinical psychologist.
Clinical psychologist Dr, Shannon Chavez says for starters, you can't just go out and hire one. You have to get a referral from a clinical sex therapist -- and often times that referral is a last resort.
"A lot of people that go and see surrogate partners have dealt with really intense trauma sexual trauma and abuse and they're overcoming and healing from that)
She says therapy often begins with something as simple as eye contact. From there, touching fingertips, maybe an elbow.
Women are often times looking to overcome pain during intercourse. Men address issues of premature ejaculation and impotency. A lot of clients are late term virgins.
"Why is it that something like physical touching and actual intercourse has to take place, if it's therapy why can't it just be talking?" we asked.
"Not all surrogate partners have sex. Intercourse is probably the smallest percentage of what surrogate partner therapy is about, the majority is about rapport building and intimacy, skill building," says Dr. Chavez.
The profession is regulated. The International Professional Surrogates Association has a code of ethics. There are board members.
Yet there is still debate over whether this is a legitimate profession. is surrogate partner therapy just another form of prostitution? If you look at some of the headlines on the internet regarding the topic, they're pretty racy. Here in Arizona there really are no laws against this form of therapy.
"It's really being coached in more of that therapeutic method. Part of the therapy is sexual contact, that's really the way around the classical prostitution type statutes that all the different cities have on the books," says Scott Maasen, criminal defense attorney.
Maasen says, legally the profession falls into a gray area.
"The problem really is when you have laws that deal with sex, you're talking about privacy and areas where getting the government to enforce the law, police, that that could be difficult," says Maasen.
"Some of us maybe don't agree with some of the things people do but we don't want the government in our bedroom."
"Paying money for sex is illegal, paying money for therapy is legal," says Rotem. "There are so many people, clients, former clients who have now families, have kids who couldn't have them before. Therapy, verbal therapy didn't help them," says Rotem. "They say I feel progress, I feel I am healing I feel I am being transformed. I feel I can now go on a date, I feel I have hope."
There are only approximately 50 certified sexual surrogates in the U.S. Therapy can take anywhere from a few months to several years.

You might not be familiar with the term 'Z-Movie,' but if you grew up in the 90's, chances are you've seen one. They're the beyond-low-budget monstrosities that teased you from the walls of the mom-and-pop video store. Usually, the films themselves could never live up to the pictures on the videotape boxes (because this was way before your fancy 'Digital Video Discs' and 'Blu-Rays') but occasionally you'd find something truly unique. 'WEIRDO FLICKS' will clue you into some movies which 'unique' doesn't even begin to describe...
'House' (aka 'Hausu') - 1977, Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi
This one is a bit different than the past few films I wrote about...for one thing, it had a bigger budget. It was also created by a relatively well-known Japanese commercial director. That's where the dissimilarities end, however, as this is one of the most bonkers things you'll ever see.
Supposedly created to bank on the success of 'Jaws,' a film company hired Obayashi to create a similar film for Japanese audience. The director, most known in Japan for his bombastic work in television commercials, did the logical thing and got his daughter to help him write a script. This makes sense when you consider how the film jumps from blood-and-gore to bodily humor to Saturday morning cartoon in rapid-fire succession. Basically, it's not anything like 'Jaws.'
Once it gets going, the '77 release date is pretty amazing...Obayashi uses relatively-new computerized effects creatively, and the world of the film sits solidly outside any era. Plus, this thing is COLORFUL, in the way that only a 70's Japanese TV ad can be.
Oh yeah, the story...to avoid spending time with her dad's new girlfriend, a young girl stubbornly goes to visit her aunt instead. She also brings along her friends, uninvited, but it doesn't seem to matter. Unfortunately, her aunt is long-dead and really just wants to eat her and her friends. Or maybe her aunt's cat is the one pulling the strings.
It should be mentioned that the young girls all have ridiculous names, and each have their own 'special power,' like some twisted kids' cartoon. Actually, this could pass for a kids' movie if it wasn't for all the decapitations, blood splattering, and dirty jokes. Yeah, besides those things, it's pretty tame.
The film was supposedly a big hit in Japan when it came out (but received lots of negative reviews from critics, making it like a Japanese version of....'The Mummy' films..?) but didn't start getting fans in America until recent years.
Because of that, however, you can easily see it. So see it, already.
