Hill: Richmond have the fight to survive
6:00am Friday 6th December 2013 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Director of rugby Steve Hill has insisted Richmond will not curb their attacking instincts as the threat of relegation looms.
Injury-ravaged Richmond currently find themselves in the National Division One bottom three, having won only three games this term after Saturday's 34-26 defeat at Fylde.
But Hill has vowed to stick by his men as they bid to beat the drop.
"Each player stepped up to the mark at a ground where in the past we have been soundly beaten," he said ahead of Saturday's visit of Loughborough Students.
"Losing hurts but the whole squad should be proud of the effort, heart and skill displayed.
"These qualities will see us through this tough season.
"It's frustrating we did not come away with any points.
"If we had come away with one or two losing points that would have been good.
"But the positive thing is if we continue to play with that ambition, spirit and commitment then we will get the results."
Tom Platt's third minute try and three Rob Kirby penalties ensured Richmond only trailed Fylde 22-14 at the break.
Tries from Afalobi Okeshola and Chris Davies – – converted by Rob Kirby, – matched scores from the hosts in the second half, but they could not close the eight point deficit.
Richmond's lengthy injury list forced Hill to hand debuts to Rowan Halsall, Jack Franklin and Edward Stembridge and the rugby director reckoned that was a reason to be cheerful.
"Jack Franklin is an example of someone coming all the way through a club he joined when he was six years old, and now has made his first-team debut," added Hill, left.
"These days players move away for different reasons, but it's encouraging to see them coming through."

They had to make it interesting though.
Trailing 6-3 through four innings, and only managing four hits through that span, the Giants got their bats going for the final three innings of play and rallied for a 9-6 triumph over the second-seeded Astros at Golden Eagle Regional Park.
With one out in the top of the fifth, Josh Bolingbroke ripped a stand-up triple to right field. Back-to-back walks to Owen Bartlett and Drew Peterson loaded the bases and ended Astros starting pitcher Jared Longland's outing after 4 1-3 innings.
Austin Garrick came on in relief and immediately struck out the first batter he faced for the second out. However, he couldn't stave off the Giants rally.
Joseph Hansen blooped a two-run single into shallow center field. When the throw went to the plate, the runners moved up to second and third with the deficit now only 6-5.
Michael Schroeder smoked a single through the left side of the infield, driving in both runs, leaving the Giants in the lead, 7-6.
Peterson continued his strong performance on the mound, keeping the Astros off balance in five innings of relief work.
Peterson faced the minimum six batters in the fifth and sixth innings, while his team took the lead for good and added insurance runs in the sixth and seventh frames.
Dylan Stanley led off the top of the sixth with a double down the third-base line and scored thanks to consecutive groundouts to second base.
In the seventh, Bartlett walked to start the inning. Two batters later, Morgan Christen's fly ball to left field was deep enough to score Bartlett on a sacrifice fly, making it a 9-6 ballgame.
The Astros tried to mount a comeback in the bottom half of the seventh.
With runners on first and second after a walk to Dustin Weis and a single by Trevor Hampshire, Peterson got the next two batters out to earn the pitching victory.
The Giants scored first, but the Astros always had an answer in the early going.
After Peterson launched a two-out solo homer in the first inning, the Astros tied the game up at 1-1 in the bottom of the second when Matt Perera and Anthony Tolosano traded places on the basepaths with an RBI double from Tolosano.
A two-run rally by the Giants in the third put them up 3-1. The first run came home on a wild pitch and Peterson drove in another with a sac fly.
But the Astros claimed their first advantage by pushing across four runs in the bottom of the third.
An RBI single by Hampshire, a bases-loaded walk and a two-run single to the opposite field by Perera handed the Astros a 5-3 edge.
The home team extended its lead to a game-high 6-3 margin in the fourth on Longland's run-scoring base hit to left field, plating Garrick after he had hit a liner that got away from the Giants left fielder.
But that was as good as it got for the Astros, who needed to win two games Saturday night to take the city championship in the double-elimination tourney.
•In the Prep Division championship, the Padres used a three-run second inning and never trailed against the top-seed Yankees, holding on for a 5-3 victory.
The Padres scored two more runs in the top of the seventh that proved to be necessary.
The Yankees chipped away at the lead with a single run in both the third and fifth innings, but they could only muster one more run in the bottom of the seventh.
Despite entering the tournament as the No. 2 seed, the Padres stayed in the winners' bracket and only needed to win once Saturday to take home the trophy.

David, saw your pro pics! Amazing. Your wife is going to be jealous about us going on about you, but that's what happens when you post them on here. We can't help it. Thanks for making Texas look good.
Kat, wow. You're amazing, too, as always. Sorry about the shoot, but you deserve the best, even if that means you have to wait a bit. Your PROGRESS deserves the best shoot, too.
Thanks for the welcome Sharon. Can't wait to kick off C2! Girls, we have to make sure our guys don't show us up for C2...we will OWN this challenge!
Thank you Melissa! How nice of you to take the time to say all of that, and so uplifting. I am getting enough calories, I'm pretty sure of that. I do write down everything I eat and do everyday.....I am seeing a connection with sugar and tiredness. I am hypoglycemic-and this last freeday I indulged myself with COOKIES. I had a cookie hangover lol. Dumb jerk hypoglycemia, it doesn't take a free day and makes you feel so mucky when you eat the wrong thing. I think its an issue of rest + my free day choice. Sometimes I feel guilty about taking a rest, but you're right; its best to listen to the body honestly.
LiL Caity--I'm sorry to hear you are having so many problems with pain during your workouts. I know you said you had your husband check your form, but I wasn't sure if you have ever gone to the following link to look at proper form for exercises: www.bodybuilding.com/exercises It is a really great website. If you look up a certain exercise, such as straight-leg deadlift, it will show you a video with exactly how to do the move. There are videos featuring a man and a woman for just about every exercise on there. Hope that helps.
Sharon--I love that you said the following: "For those of you...no make that those of US...that didn't hit all of our original goals for C1 - I say LET IT GO! We set high expectations and goals for ourselves and continually strive to reach them. They are still great goals even if they weren't obtained in 12 weeks. Did you get to your starting place in 12 weeks? For me that is a definite no way. I abused my body for years to get to the sorry state I was in a few months ago. I can't expect to undo that in just 84 days.." I feel like that is just so dead on. It is easy to get caught up in the idea that we want a quick fix and when we do not see it, we become discouraged. That is why so many people give up on an eating right and exercise plan, they do not see results quickly enough and become discouraged. Just the fact that we have all completed our 12 weeks and are looking forward to the next 12 week challenge says a lot about who we all are as individuals. Thank you for that insight.
Flygirl--I am with you on seeing meager results. I only lost a couple pounds at best. The scale was not very kind to me, but I definitely noticed changes in how I look and how my clothes fit and that's what matters. I'm glad you didn't give up and hope you see more results this time around! As far as lowering your calories, I would say if anything, 1200 is not enough and you need to increase calories. You might not be getting enough nutrition with only eating 1200 calories and also working out every day.
Kat--Hope your next photo shoot goes well, can't wait to see your pictures!
Melissa--I agree! We need to show the boys up!
Looking forward to starting C2 and establishing new goals for myself!!
Hi everyone,
You all look great and keep up the good work. I can't tell everyone what I'd like to say about each of you, it would take to long. You all did a great thing by staying in there and not stopping.
I will be in surgery at 8 in the morning on my foot. Please keep me in your prayers.
I can't wait to get back to the gym for some weight lifting. I know I needed this break but I'm ready already. I tweaked my back a little somewhere around week 9 but it seems to be better and I am ready to hit it hard. This challenge will be especially hard for me since my little girl won't have school the 3 days that I normally work out at the gym but I know I can work it out somehow. Summer usually means lounging around and drinking beer in the pool but this year it will have to be water in the pool. I guess I'll have to learn to cook a good turkey burger. May might be a little tough too since I have a guys weekend and two full weeks at the beach but I will make it work.
Kat: nice pics you look great! Thanks for all the great words and being so positive.
Michele: glad you decided to join us for this challenge! I know I will enjoy all you have to say even if I am more like the slent gladiator.
Sharon: glad i read your post. i almost forgot to set new goals. I think I didn't spend enough time last challenge thinking about my goals. I might have done a little better and stayed more focused. Can you give us an update on your daughter and her fiancé? Are they adjusting to the move?
Flygirl: glad you joined us!
Justin: down time sucks but we all need it so we can kill it in the weeks to come. Just flex twice when you drink you shake this week. :)
David: great job! I know you will keep me motivated this time around.
Laurie: how is the foot? I don't know any 1 leg workouts but I'm sure can google it. I know you will get back on it as soon as you can.
Melissa: I don't know what the shred is but it sounds tough. I have just been doing some long slow cardio but my body is deaf ready for some stimulation with the weights.
LiL Caity: been following your posts from the start. You are doing great and I'm glad you have joined us. Keep up the great work. Ps liked your video. I just buy the journal used off amazon but I might make my own for next time.
Mr guy: you made some great progress you here for c2?
Flobee: congrats on 15 lbs that is great. I only lost about 10 but I know why. I feel better thoug and know what I have to do this time:)
If I missed anyone I apologize my little girl keeps waking up crying so I can't keep my thoughts together. I think she must be having some growing pains... Or the terrible twos are a couple years late... she has been quite fussy this week. Who knows she didn't come with any instructions....
I'm glad to see so much activity here!! Seems like we're all chomping at the bit to get started on C2!
It's been cold and rainy here so I haven't got to go biking. But.... I went turkey hunting this weekend and probably walked about 15 miles through woods. My legs are sore from it, so I guess that was a workout....... Went to the gym yesterday morning and did some light lifting. (I couldn't help myself.) I was up late last night and my legs are still sore so I didn't do anything this morning.
Did anyone fill out their BFL Packet online? I can't find a link to get it done.......
David/Kat- Great pics! Great transformations!
Flygirl- So glad to see that my original teammate is back with me for another round!
Bart- Seems like my daughter did the same stuff around that age. Hopefully it doesn't last long. Man, I've been flexing like crazy. Yesterday on the drive home I would flex each arm and abs for a mile, so every 3 miles I'd be back to the same body part. I'm actually a little sore from it today. And of course I still flex every time I get some good protein. I guess it's just a habit now. Haha....
Sharon- The wrist is crucial for UBWO. I can't think of any exercises that wouldn't risk further damage. However..... When you do start using it again you may want to buy some wrist wraps and put them on tight to keep from injuring it again.
Laurie- Let us know how the surgery went as soon as you can. What's the recovery time going to be like for that?
I probably missed responding to some people, but I gotta get to work before I get in trouble. I'll check back in later......
Mornin everybody! Man! This thread has so much energy already!
Into my third week of active rest....ha! Only difference is I haven't recorded anything. Did a pull routine today. Kind of experimenting to see what would work for C2.
Bart - great to hear from you, buddy! I scrolled on the old thread and saw your pics. You definitely could see the changes. Hope your back has healed up. I did something similar around week 6 and had to stop squats and dealifts for about 4 weeks. Looking forward to you crankin it for C2. I know you will hit the challenges straight, but I gotta admit, 2 weeks at the beach may be tough. Definitely wouldn't turn that down, though. I've been grilling turkey burgers. They're really good! I mix in some Lea & Perrins with pepper and some garlic powder. Works great!
Amy - really appreciate your post. You couldn't be more correct in that by finishing the 12 week challenge and looking forward to the next challege speaks volumes of who you are. By the way, what does the 19 mean? Are you 19? You look very young in your photo.
Justin - filled out my packet online and sent it in Monday. Not to bad. Wish I had been taking more notes as I went along, but just not my way. I've always procrastinated to the last minute. It's how I roll. Gotta start flexin like you bro.
Laurie - hope your surgery went well. Said a prayer for you and your surgeon. I understand about the foot/ankle as I had surgery about 12 years ago. You will be surprised at your ability to recover.
Melissa - it's cold here this morning. IT"S APRIL 24!! Hello! Post your pics girl! Texas needs some good representation!
Sharon - how's the wrist? Agree with Justin, wraps will help you protect the wrist as it heals. Agree on sharing the goals. Like Bart, I didn't spend near enough time on them last challenge and plan to do a much better job this time.
Kat - know you're celebratiing, but we're all ready to have you back on the thread with us. Hope the Friday session goes well for you. I'm sure the pics will be nothing short of awesome!
Lil Caity and Flygirl - our two newest members - hope you guys are doing well. Understand about feeling guilty about resting and never regret it when I do.
Flygirl, Flobee, Mr Guy - hope you're enjoying the brief intermission. Ready to start this challenge with you guys!
David - I'm not sure how you got my secret burger recipe.... I don't remember telling anyone. I actually use lea and Perkins in most of my top secret recipes.
omg hrdhat I imagined you swimming in a pool of beer because I read that sentence wrong! That's so cool that you liked my video, andhave followed my posts. I made a journal for all of my 3 challenges for this year, and an extra one for a friend who is interested. There is a fancy copy/printer at my apartment I can use for FREE! And it prints the journal in no time. I can make more if somebody wants one, just hit me up in a PM. It took a lot of ink on my home printer.
Being a part of this group made my day yesterday!!! I also stuck to exactly what I wrote for my "meal plan", and ate it in the order I wrote down. I haven't actually been that strict before. Usually, I would use my plan as "this is what is available in the fridge and on the list. Pick what sounds good before you go in the kitchen". But it made me feel super accomplished to adhere to my plan.
Also had my workout done so early that there was so much free time, I didn't know what to do with it! So I played with my mini macaw, Stevie, for a long time. He really needs the attention. He had been screaming "what are you doing?!" all day every day, since my schedule and priorities have changed and adjusted. Poor little guy! Its just crazy how I actually have more time and energy, when I was afraid that would be my sacrifice.
David--I am not 19, it's is just a number I use for usernames, has no real meaning. I am actually 28 years old.
Justin--The only place that I know that has the packet is when you log in and it shows you your profile, to the right it says "challenge dashboard" and then It says "get the challenge packet" and there is a button that says download to download the packet. You can fill it in online in that same spot. Not sure if it is anywhere else on the site.
Laurie--Hope surgery went well this morning!
Time to spice it up Gladiators!
Hi team! I am doing some menu planning this week for the upcoming kick off of C2. The Lea and Perrin comments got me thinking...how to add flavor without adding fat and calories. Unlike some of you out there, I absolutely can't eat the same things day in and day out. Food is one of my greatest passions in life and I am struggling to make my "relationship" with food healthier. I love to cook and entertain and make food taste amazing. In a different life, I could have easily gone to culinary school and loved life as a chef.
My option - SPICES! While serving overseas in the Army, I had the luxury of visiting spice markets in the Middle East. I am using that experience as my inspiration for C2. I am returning to a spice shop that I adore - Savory Spices. They grind and blend their spices in the shop so they are fresh and affordable. Unfortunately, there is not one in Arizona so I order offline: www.savoryspiceshop.com. If you are so inclined, check it out. They have yummy recipes on their website and I can easily modify them to fit into our program.
So, one of my new C2 goals will be to spice it up and share a new recipe with you all once a week. Anyone want to join me in weekly recipe swaps?
Laurie, I hope all is well with your foot! Any news on the down time?
Sharon, I'm cool with sharing recipes, but I DO eat a lot of the same thing over and over. I will share anything new and good that I come across or invent, though. Sometime you just really really need to shake it up. I want to get that eating for life book at some point, but it's harder to truly manage portions for the BFL program if you are not in maintenance using those recipes. I love to just sprinkle Mrs Dash table blend on my turkey patties and grill them on the foreman. A pound makes 4, and they make the most delicious burgers, especially when using only ground turkey breast. I sometimes sear them up in a cast iron skillet to make a crisper "crust", but the foreman is great for making them in batches and freezing.
So, ladies...I read the Body for Life for Women book this week. I'm curious about your thoughts on it from anyone who has read it. I'll admit that it's way over-complicated and doesn't feel the least encouraging to me. ("You won't get the body you want, probably, but it'll be better than it is now" is the basic premise.) The workouts are a bit different. So different that I can't outline it all, but she lets you set your level, first of all. At its ideal, 3 days cardio for 30 minutes (intensity levels are not the same) and 30 minutes of weight-lifting 3 days per week, and the sets and weights are different; 3 sets of decreasing numbers of reps. She's never very specific, and it's widely open to interpretation. The eating is WAY different, and the rules are way more complicated. However, i guess in making sure that you meet certain minimum requirements, it's probably good. For instance, you have to have 4 veggies, and depending on whether you work out on a day or not, you take in less or more carbs...of which she is very specific that 2 have to be fruit, and only one can be a starchy carb. No carbs after 5, and no eating at all after 8...WOW. I would STARVE. You also have to take in something like 4 calcium rich foods a day, and she builds in an emergency snack that you can use or not each day. There are other things built into the proteins, like soy pre-mades. I like them, but I'm not sure if they would work well with body for life. I'm just really curious if anyone has tried it and what what you might think of it. I won't dismiss it out of the box, but I think it's tweaked enough to lower your expectations, and to minimize the expected results.
I've decided to do 2 things that I did when I was 33 that I didn't this last time to see how much difference it truly makes. I'm going to wean myself off caffeine, and I'm going to MAKE myself do my workouts in the morning. It seems that those of you that did the A.M. exercises had better results. ::grumble::
David, any news on the wifey joining in? We'd love to have her. We are planning new "before" pics for this weekend before we start. Have big East Texas plans again on Saturday, which will probably require staying the night and sleeping in on Sunday ::twiddles:: so...might be feeling rough come Monday, but still raring to go.
Justin, what about your saga? How's the "compromise" going?
Caity, how is your back and stuff feeling today? Did you break from lower body for a bit? I hope it just stopped hurting, really...
T minus 3.5 days (ish) Bart, Amy, MrGuy, Michele, Flobee, Kat, Flygirl...hope you're having a good day/week!
Melissa-yes, my LBWO was scheduled yesterday and I took the day off and did lots of healthy cooking. I am feeling back to normal today. I did an extra 30 min lite cardio the day before because I planned to rest. Your advice was very helpful. I did look at that BFL womens book a number of years ago. My mom got it, I think she was intimidated by the original. I thought it looked a little "soft" myself.
Sharon-thanks for the spices tip! I love things to be spicy-not masochistic spicy but more like fuzzy handcuff spicy lol. Are there any specific spices you would suggest? I started blending peppers in chili powder and marinate chicken and beans in it. It comes out alright but I am excited to try new things. I never cooked a chicken in my life before starting this year!
Amy- I figured out how to do the packet online. It didn't have a callenge listed on my dasboard for some reason and I thought that I wasn't going to be able to enter, but I got it figured out. I'm going to try to get my pictures done tonight. I want them to be done so I can get them added.
Melissa- I only went to the gym one time this week and made it known that I wasn't going. Nobody else got up and went either...... I have made it clear that I will continue to go to the gym in the early am starting 4/29 if nobody else takes advantage of that time slot before I get started again. I think that's fair, so we'll see what happens.
David- I was thinking about your strength goals. Specifically the 300lb bench. If you want to increase your strength by leaps an bounds on the bench I have a surefire way for you to do if you're not already doing this exercise. If your gym has a set of dip bars you will be able to really get your chest thick and strong. If you have never done these you will need to do them without any additional weight to get used to the movement and get your form right. Then..... You get a belt that you can hang weight inbetween your legs with and start adding plates as you get stronger. It's one of the best chest exercises that most gym goers don't use, and it WORKS. You want your legs to be as far behind you as you can get them to put the work on the chest. If you don't it becomes more of a tricep exercise. It's heard to do that with the extra weight, but here's a guy that has good form. www.youtube.com/watch
Well.... It's time for my protein shake so I gotta run.
Okay, so I'm in to start on Monday. This little rest is kind of nice. I know by the time Monday comes, I will be ready to go head long into C2. Thanks everyone! This is the recharge that I really needed!

The Wilderness Road is an epic saga about the early migration and settlement of America. As the colonies were thriving along the east coast in the late 1600s, settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains remained a challenge for early explorers. Today's travelers along the road will discover historic downtowns where museum homes, artisan enclaves and cultural pearls lay strung along a scenic route through the valley and into the mountains of western Virginia.
Bring your group and rediscover what lured well-known pioneers such as Dr. Thomas Walker, Joseph Martin, and Daniel Boone to blaze trail that opened frontier to the early settlers. Take part in this classic American experience by visiting the Shenandoah Valley.
The Roanoke Loop (2days)
Day One – Experience one of the natural wonders of the world at the Natural Bridge of Virginia. Thomas Jefferson liked it so much he bought it from King George III in 1774. From its earliest development, the Town of Buchanan, Virginia was a principal crossing of the James River via the "Great Valley Road." Today the classic American experience is alive and well in Botetourt County and its downtowns.
Day Two – Visit Roanoke and walk in the footsteps of early settlers and discover the diversity of the region through historic districts like Downtown Roanoke with its historic City Market and the Virginia Museum of Transportation, Downtown Salem and the Town of Fincastle where Lewis and Clark started on their exploration.
Today, over 43 million Americans can trace their heritage to the families that migrated along the Wilderness Road. We invite you to blaze your own trail of discovery along the Wilderness Road and relive America's unique history and heritage.

Washington, DC -
10/21/2011 - Matt Rand, director of global shark conservation for the Pew Environment Group, issued the following statement today in response to an announcement by the Taiwan Fisheries Agency that it will impose a ban next year on shark finning—the practice of slicing off the animal's fins on-board and then throwing away the body at sea—and mandate that sharks are landed with their fins attached."This announcement is an indication that Taiwan is on the right track when it comes to protecting sharks. However, it falls short of what is really needed. With up to 73 million sharks killed every year, many by Taiwan's fleet, a finning ban does not address the larger overfishing problem that is driving these animals toward extinction. "As the images we released this week show, enormous numbers of sharks are coming into Taiwan's ports. The announced policy does not set limits on how many sharks can be killed by Taiwanese vessels fishing in any ocean. As such, the hunt will continue."To truly reduce the excessive pressure fishing has on these animals, Taiwan should prohibit catching sharks that are threatened or near threatened with extinction. It should also end fishing of shark species that do not have science-based management plans in place to ensure that these animals are caught at a sustainable level. As countries around the world are establishing sanctuaries that ban shark fishing in their own waters, we hope Taiwan will move to further protect sharks."Notes:
On Wednesday, October 21, 2011, the Pew Environment Group released images and video taken in Taiwan that detail the expansive and unregulated nature of shark fishing globally. The depictions show fins and body parts of biologically vulnerable shark species, such as scalloped hammerhead and oceanic whitetip, being readied for market.

Reports last week that Gov. John Kasich wants to provide additional state help to school districts with meager property tax bases no doubt was received happily by some East Ohio education officials. While the plan should help meet a state Supreme Court ruling on school funding equity, there is another excellent argument for it: It's the right thing to do.
Kasich unveiled a budget proposal under which no school district would see a reduction in state aid. That pleased many school superintendents who are nearly at their wits' ends finding ways to cut spending in reaction to previous reductions in state funding.
But even without additional state aid cuts, some school districts - including a few in our area - are in deep fiscal trouble. Local taxes are percentages of the appraised values of property. In school districts where property, both residential and business, is worth a lot, local levies bring in plenty of money for schools. But in areas where property values are low, schools and other local government entities sometimes suffer.
The outlook can change within a few years. For example, closure of a Belmont County power plant and steel mills in the Ohio Valley will have a dramatic effect on property taxes collected by some school districts.
School officials briefed by Kasich had good reason to like his announcement state aid will not be reduced during the next two-year budget cycle. And those from "poor" districts were happy about his plan to give them more help.
Still, as some school superintendents pointed out, the state funding formula is a complex one. Celebrations will be put off until state funding numbers for specific districts are provided.
Providing those numbers look as good as Kasich's preview hinted they will, East Ohio legislators should vote in favor of the governor's plan.

Dog Turned in to Montrose Animal Control
MONTROSE – The odds of U.S. Army veteran Jeremiah Aguilar getting any sleep in the coming weeks are slim to none, not while his dog Dutch, the animal at the center of a controversial biting incident, remains in isolation at the Montrose Animal Control Center.
Aguilar surrendered Dutch Monday and is preparing an appeal to a Feb. 14 conviction in municipal court, in which he and Dutch were found guilty of the city's vicious animal code. Dutch is accused of attacking his former owner last November, causing injuries that racked up nearly $30,000 in medical expenses.
Dutch remains under a euthanasia order pending the outcome of the appeal. A court hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday in Montrose County Court where a new trial before a three-person jury could be scheduled.
Aguilar was inducted into the Montrose Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 784 Tuesday night as fellow veterans and members of the Ladies Auxiliary said they are standing behind him in his fight to save Dutch.
The case has drawn worldwide attention. The City of Montrose has fielded hundreds of calls and emails calling for a permanent stay of the euthanasia order, and the dog's release.
"There are a lot of people that seem upset," said Montrose City Attorney Stephen Alcorn. "I wish they knew more of the facts of the case, and paid attention at the trial to see that the facts aren't quite like they have been made out to be," Alcorn said Tuesday.
In April, an arrest warrant was issued for Aguilar after he failed to appear at a county court hearing. Aguilar said he was advised by his attorney that he didn't need to make the trip from his current home in Oklahoma. Aguilar turned himself in on Memorial Day after the court said he could not seek appellate relief while being a fugitive.
Last weekend Aguilar's wife, Heather, brought Dutch from Oklahoma to Montrose to be turned in. Aguilar has been in Montrose since posting bail and said he only got to spend about a day with Dutch before turning him in at the Montrose Animal Shelter on Monday.
"It just hurts to see him in there and not be able to take him outside," Aguilar said about Dutch's isolation.
Aguilar said Dutch was in a sanctuary in Oklahoma where he was allowed to take Dutch on walks twice a week and was allowed to bring toys and food to the 107-pound American Allaunt canine.
Aguilar, a six-year veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, who also helped out on the gulf coast after Hurricane Katrina, said he has always maintained a mission or goal.
His new mission, he said, is Operation Save Dutch.
"If my dog was vicious in any way shape or form I would not even own him," he said.
Aguilar maintains Dutch was provoked by the victim and the dog acted in self defense. The city's account claims Dutch attacked the victim following a fight with another dog. The victim, Dutch's former owner and fiance to Aguilar's brother, said she was cleaning blood from Dutch's face when the dog attacked and did so repeatedly for over 10 minutes.
Aguilar said he was saddened the relationship with his brother and fiance has been strained since the attack. He also expects the victim will testify during the trial.
He said he and his attorney, Brandon Luna, are looking to challenge any evidence and "questionable" statements in reports that portray Dutch as a vicious animal.
Aguilar said Dutch received training as a service dog before the attack, and the dog's service to him is "unexplainable," due to the mental trauma he suffers from his time in the military. He said he didn't like the fact that private medical information about his condition was mentioned in public, but said Dutch gives him therapy, to calm down from the effects of war.
He said Dutch wakes him during nightmares, and the only way he can sleep is to feel him lying by his feet in bed.
"If it wasn't for the people and support I don't think I could have made it this far. I would have been ground into dirt a long time ago. My dog would have been dead and I would have been already checked out," Aguilar said. "That dog has saved my life, and therefore I owe it to him to save his at all costs. I don't care if it costs me everything."

Residence Life (Housing)
We look forward to having you here and supporting your transition to college life at Clarkson!
First-year students are housed in a double-occupancy room in Hamlin-Powers, Cubley-Reynolds, or Ross-Brooks House. For more information, you may access our Web site.
This is a simple checklist to help remind yourself of what items you may bring to campus.
Room Essentials:
- Bed Sheets and blankets – (extra- long sheets: mattress is 36"x80")
- Trash can – we provide the recycling bin for you…after all, 84 % of household waste is recyclable.
- Towels – Bath towels are a must and hand towels help reduce the paper towels used in the dorms
- Toiletries – shower sandals and supplies, health products, bathroom caddy
- Pillow
- Personal fan--Optional, you could bring one from home, but it will not be used often. For many students, it will not be worth purchasing a new one.
Things to help you work:
- Desk organizer
- General school supplies
- Desk lamp with compact fluorescent light bulb
- Non electric Pencil sharpener -- The 73 cent sharpeners work great and create less waste than the bulky electric versions.
Electronics and Related:
- EPEAT-certified Computer and flash drive. A laptop computer is recommended – it takes less space in your dorm and helps provide a mobile work environment.
- Ethernet cable/TV cable
- EnergyStar Appliances – Wait until you get your roommate assignments then you can coordinate these!!! Check Craigslist or the classifieds for cheap used EnergyStar appliances.
- Smart Power Strip – this is one that shuts off power when you aren't using your electronics
- Entertainment (books, music, games)
- Cell phone (or telephone for dial tone service)
- Alarm Clock
- Camera
- Laundry bag and laundry detergent for cold water washing
- Sewing kit
- Re-useable coffee/travel mug and water bottle
- Re-useable bowl/plate and utensils for any in-room eating
- Closet organizer/hangers/
- Plenty of storage containers. Suggestion from a Student: Pack your clothes in one or two large solid plastic bins. The bins can be used for storage and as a laundry hamper once you get here and you will not have to find space for empty suitcases
Please leave it home:
Unpacking any new items from their packing materials and boxes at home will reduce the volume they require in your vehicle and can help to reduce your trips to the recycle dumpster as you move in. For example, opt for sheets that don't come in the plastic bags. If everyone brings two new sets of sheets that would be over 1500 un-needed plastic bags requiring disposal.
Disallowed Items (not a complete list and subject to change)

At the beginning of the year, we always say we're going to change our lives. We're going to eat better, exercise and be much happier people. But somewhere along the way, we give up and go back to old habits. So, how do you make positive changes that will stick? "It's not so difficult," says Cameron Alborzian. He's a yogi therapist, an expert on restoring natural health and happiness.
Cameron says if you want to change your life, you have to first take care of your mind. Exercise alone won't do it. "Mental, spiritual practice, that's where it's at." Cameron has written two books, to rave reviews. 'The Guru in You' and 'One Plan'. They are both books about spirituality and health. His advice to anyone dealing with difficulties is to change your point view. "It's not about changing other people. It's about changing yourself," says Cameron.
Watch the story to see how to get to a place of enlightenment.

"BP to pay $4.5 billion spill fine"
Two-and-a-half years since the drilling-rig explosion that killed 11 workers and unleashed the greatest offshore oil spill in the nation's history, oil-industry giant BP lead guilty to the charges brought against it and agreed to what many believe is the biggest criminal fine in U.S. history.
The fine was levied, according to Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, because of crimes that "resulted from BP's culture of privileging profit over prudence."
That is certainly a lot of money, but let's put it context. Last year, BP made a record profit of $25.8 billion. That leaves a lot left over for the company and its shareholders.
BP has five years to pay it off, something that is seldom, if ever, done in a criminal case. Thus, it follows that if BP continues to make the profits it has made in the past, this settlement will cost the company only $900 million a year — less than 5 percent of its yearly profits.
While this board is glad the U.S. courts have continued to go after BP, we ask: Is this a reasonable settlement for actions that led to 11 deaths and a company official lying to Congress about the extent of the spill?
It will be if the federal judge overseeing the settlement agrees that it is.
Beyond the monetary resolution, the agreement means there will not be years of litigation like that which followed the Exxon-Valdez oil spill. Neither BP nor the government or the parties it represented wanted that scenario. That alone may be justification for reaching this agreement.
Meanwhile, keep in mind that this is only one part, and maybe a small part, of what will be the final settlement. BP will still face fines under the Clean Water Act that could amount to as much as $20 billion — or more. And there is still the $7.8 billion settlement between BP and some 100,000 businesses and individuals that is waiting for approval from a federal judge in New Orleans.
Additionally, the government has not determined how it will pursue charges against the other companies that were involved — Deepwater Horizon, the company that owned the rig, and Halliburton, the company whose cement work BP claims contributed to the disaster.
BP may be happy this phase of the litigation has been settled, but the company also knows the matter is far from over.
