May is officially Postpartum Depression Awareness month. And while there probably should be an official Postpartum Anxiety month, or a Postpartum OCD month, or a Postpartum Psychosis month, we'll do the best we can with what we've got. Because no matter what's plaguing you after childbirth, you are not alone.
Postpartum depression affects between ten and twenty percent of new mothers. While there are several different theories about cause (discussed here and here), treatment is available to women faced with this condition. In a comprehensive review, published in the "International Journal of Women's Health", researchers identified both traditional and experimental therapies that may be effective for women suffering from postpartum depression1.... continue reading

Former world champion Ricky Hatton is loving life as a big fight promoter, even though he has not yet ruled out a return to the ring himself.
Hatton has not fought since being knocked out by Manny Pacquiao almost two years ago and has no immediate plans to get back into training.
He now runs the burgeoning Hatton Promotions and is busy preparing for Amir Khan's WBA light-welterweight title defence against Ireland's Paul McCloskey in Manchester next month.
Hatton, 32, a champion at two weights, said: "I'm enjoying it massively.
"I always said from day one that after becoming a champion the next best thing is to bring someone along and make a champion.
"For every lad in my stable, I throw every punch for them.
"I still dream of a comeback every morning I open my eyes but the one thing in consolation, if I never fight again, is seeing the joy my fighters are getting.
"To pack the MEN Arena out on a world title show, Hatton Promotions has come a long way in two years."
Hatton was speaking at a press conference to promote the 10-fight undercard for the April 16 showdown, the highlight of which will be a WBA middleweight title eliminator between Birmingham's Matthew Macklin and German Khoren Gevor.
It was pointed out the date could clash with his beloved Manchester City's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United, but he admits his fighters would come first if that was the case.
The Football Association are still to announce whether the Wembley clash between the two fierce rivals will take place on April 16 or 17.
Hatton said: "It would be heartbreaking because it is not too often City get the chance to go to Wembley.
"But unfortunately it might fall on this night and my loyalty is to my fighters. I want to see them progress and fulfil their potential.
"All I will say is, if I am going to miss out on the derby, they better all win!"
Hatton has high hopes for all his charges and is particularly proud to be linking up with Khan, whose football team Bolton will also be involved in the FA Cup semi-finals.
"If you were a Ricky Hatton fan for the type of qualities I showed - no fear, die hard, wear your heart on your sleeve - Amir Khan has shown that in recent fights," Hatton said.
"I think he will slowly climb the pound-for-pound rankings and when (Floyd) Mayweather or Pacquiao pass on the torch, he will be in prime position to carry that torch as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world."
Hatton is expecting a sell-out at the 19,500-capacity MEN Arena for Khan v McCloskey, with more than 13,500 tickets already sold.
He said: "The main event is a wonderful fight and on the undercard we have got current champions, champions of the future and many who can be world champions.
"I am absolutely delighted with the undercard we have put together.
"It is a massive chance for Hatton Promotions to show what we can do on the biggest stage and I think we have got the fighters to make this show a great success.
"It could be a simple case of if you snooze you lose with this one. You need to get your tickets.
"It is going to be a fantastic night of boxing."
The evening will provide an opportunity for Macklin to move closer to his world title dream having missed out on a Las Vegas debut when American Winky Wright pulled out of a proposed fight in April.
Macklin expects to be be given a shot at a world title should he triumph and, having overcome the frustration of Wright disappointment, feels his ambitions may even be better served against Gevor.
The 28-year-old said: "I was very disappointed when the Winky Wright fight fell through, it was a big opportunity to catapult myself in America on a big card in Vegas but they say everything happens for a reason."It's not the same profile fight as Winky Wright would be but it is certainly as tough a fight and being chief support to Amir Khan, with the profile he carries in this country and on such a big card on pay-per-view, it is not too far away.
"I was very disappointed for a few days but I've picked myself back up."
With Macklin offering chief support, the card also features two British title fights, involving champions John Watson and Anthony Crolla, and two WBA 'interim' title fights.

2 Considerations Individuals Do Definitely Not Comprehend Referring To LASIK Eye Surgical ProcedureThe eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation consists of the capability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye may be tested in numerous ways. The patient may be asked to identify illuminated letter or objects of differing sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in several ways. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific diseases, especially in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased markedly.
It needs to be well remembered that a client with an eye problem might have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can inform the physician and the client to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
As a result, one's reliance on sight is stressed when one deals with a temporary or possible long-term loss of this crucial sense. When restorative procedures are looked for, specific kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with the reality that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were established to encourage decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied permanently.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgical treatment is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a her latest blog series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, allowing better the eye to direct click resources more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that people need to know. Most likely, the main reason that this kind of eye surgery has become well accepted is due to the fact that most of its cases had actually succeeded.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate parts of the eye, many people state that the operation can be really risky.
Simply puts, a easy error might practically trigger an person's life time blindness. Hence, it is essential to consider many factors prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the best corrective procedure one needs to undergo.
2. It is not a ideal procedure
LASIK eye surgery may remedy your vision but it does not always indicate that it can give you a best vision. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always indicate they have perfect vision.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the perfect eye surgery the method the majority of people see it
On the other hand, the evaluation of check my site the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. It needs to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem may have other problems. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can inform the patient and the physician to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs provide themselves.
Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction.

Shortcuts getting caught by Vivaldi
MarsUltor last edited by
Webpage shortcuts e.g. Ctrl+S, Ctrl+D etc. are getting caught by Vivaldi even if they are already caught by the webpage. This is a major PITA for websites like Cloud9 in which most of the shortcuts also do something to Vivaldi.
zaibon last edited by
@MarsUltor This is an already knwon issue. Until there is a fix you can workaround this when you assign a shortcut / mousegesture to enable / disable shortcuts.
Settings --> Keyboard --> in the "Page" section --> assign a shortcut to "Disable Keyboard Shortcuts"

It seems like it shouldn't be too hard with the commands API
Gwen-Dragon Moderator last edited by Gwen-Dragon
If it would be as easy as you say with your proposed API, Vivaldi devs would have fixed the problem many month ago.
The interface of Vivaldi is built on React and with the knowledge if have not all parts use Chromium API code.
The bubbling up of webpages's key strokes into Vivaldi is a known bug and the fixing is in progress.
andyv last edited by andyv
Just want to add a note.
There is one case when key strokes bubbling looks cool!
We use Codemirror code editing/highlighting JS library, which has "Fullscreen" addon.
Here is demo:
When I press F11 in editor area I got real code full screen view with Vivaldi immediately, not like semi-full screen/two step full screen views with other browsers.
(but, yes, when I use codemirror inside iframe, F11 effect looks rather ugly)

Siegfried Buback
Siegfried Buback (January 3, 1920, Wilsdruff, Saxony – April 7, 1977, Karlsruhe) was the Attorney General of Germany from 1974 until his death.
Life and career
Buback studied at the University of Leipzig. From 1940 to 1945, he was a member of the Nazi Party, while serving as a soldier in World War II. From 1945 to 1947, he was a prisoner of war. In 1953 he became attorney, and continued his career until 1972 as general attorney.
His name first appeared in public in 1962 when he accused the political magazine Spiegel of high treason in the Spiegel scandal. In 1966, the case lead to a groundbreaking ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany about the freedom of the press.
In the 1970s he decidedly opposed the Red Army Faction (RAF) and became the first assassination victim, along with his driver Wolfgang Göbel and judicial officer Georg Wurster, in a series of events called "German Autumn".
Buback was shot by members of RAF while travelling from his home in Neureut to the Bundesgerichtshof in Karlsruhe; while Buback's Mercedes was stopped at a traffic light a motorcycle pulled alongside and the passenger on the rear of the motorcycle opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle - HK43 - at the vehicle. Even though four RAF members (Christian Klar, Knut Folkerts, Günter Sonnenberg and Brigitte Mohnhaupt) were formally charged and prosecuted in connection with the Buback murder, important details of their involvement have not been solved. German authorities have so far been unable to find out who was driving the motorcycle and who was firing the weapon at Buback.
In April 2007, 30 years after his assassination, Buback's violent death became again the subject of public discussion when his son, Michael Buback, was contacted by former RAF member Peter-Jürgen Boock. Boock shared details with Buback's son indicating that it was Stefan Wisniewski who had fired the gun at Siegfried Buback.[1][2][3] Verena Becker, another former RAF member, has also claimed Wisniewski was the killer.[4]
On July 6, 2012, Becker was convicted of assisting the (still unknown) murderers and sentenced to four years in jail.[5]

This is the followup effort to Conversations In Swing Guitar. The title says it all, as guitarist Duke Robillard (Bob Dylan, Fabulous Thunderbirds) and jazz guitar great Herb Ellis cook up a warmly swinging set. Rhythm guitarist Terry Holmes, bassist Marty Ballou and drummer Marty Richards provide sympathetic support. No train wrecks here as the duo exchanges breezy licks throughout these six affable pieces.
Street Wise
Doug Lawrence
Alltribe Records
Tenor saxophonist Doug Lawrence meshes a Texas chitlin' circuit vibe with a series of motivated performances via a sax-guitar-drums-bass, groove-centric outing. Lawrence blows a mean tenor in concert with memorably melodic, jazz drenched foundations. The saxophonist has supported Aretha Franklin and others during his busy career, spanning one hundred recordings. He surfaces as an energetic hipster throughout this finely crafted and fun-filled affair.
Just Friends
Joe Beck Trio
Whaling City Sound
Guitarist Joe Beck gained notoriety back in the '70s, primarily due to his work for CTI Records, a hugely popular smooth jazz/jazz-fusion record label. However, Beck's resume consists of numerous engagements over the years. With this effort, he aligns his talents with highly respected session aces, drummer Danny Gottlieb and bassist Mark Egan for an altogether modish program. They skirt the borders of jazz-fusion while also residing within the classic jazz guitar trio format. Beck and company cover quite a bit of ground, as they raise the tempo and pitch while also opting for a sleek approach on occasion. Consequently, the trio often raises the proceedings to a heated boil during several passages.
Duets 2 – Rahsaan Roland Kirk
Ramon Lopez
Leo Records
Spanish drummer/percussionist Ramon Lopez renders a series of unlikely duets with an estimable consortium of modern/free jazz artists such as bassist Joelle Leandre, guitarist Noel Akchote, and others. Curiously, there are no saxophonists on this date, but the ever-inventive Lopez covers eight Kirk originals amid one piece composed by the drummer and vocalist Mojid Dekkos. And if you're looking for literal translations of Kirk's songbook, you're flat out of luck. These pieces are framed upon free form and at times, humorously devised arrangements. You'll hear Emmanuel Bix's wacko Hammond B-3 frameworks, amid the other instrumentalists' surrealistic musings. Sort of like a hazy dream. Yet a most interesting release at that!
Naked On The Floor
Naked On The Floor
Valid Records
There's a burgeoning modern jazz movement taking place in New Orleans, and this quintet serves as a prime example of what has been transpiring. Here, famed Big Easy bassist James Singleton along with drummer Mark Diflorio supports a sax-guitar-trombone front line. The band is apt to swing hard, in concert with a raw, pulsating mode of attack. Part of the beauty of it pertains to how the ensemble integrates mainstream jazz with oscillating shifts in strategy. The musicians' rhythmic nature features pumping lines, curt unison choruses, and gradual alterations of meter, providing a basis for complex exchanges and multi-layered arrangements.
Morton Feldman - Violin & String Quartet
Peter Rundel - Pellegrini Quartet
Hat [now] ART
This 2-CD presentation of the late contemporary classical composer Morton Feldman's Violin & String Quartet is performed by violinist Peter Rundel and the Pellegrini (strings) Quartet. Perhaps an exercise in discipline, featuring quaint and at times barely detectable variations of a theme, where tonal shading plays an important role. This recording conveys Feldman's seemingly ambiguously constructed emotive characteristics, where his music defies any semblances of jubilation or sadness. But that unto itself offers an element of surprise.
Jing Chi Live!
Jimmy Haslip – Robben Ford – Vinnie Colaiuta
Shrapnel Records
This recording represents the trio's follow up to its somewhat plodding debut release. With this effort, the highly visible solo/session musicians kick it up a notch or two. Strong soloing abounds to coincide with guitarist Robben Ford's somewhat innocent sounding vocals on "Going Nowhere" and the band's cover of Dylan's "Cold Irons Bound." And of course, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta is a master, thanks to his transparently flawless time keeping and blistering fills. Concisely, the band has found its synergy with this solid outing recorded live at Yoshi's in Oakland, CA.
Live At Tonic
Wally Shoup – Paul Flaherty – Thurston Moore – Chris Corsano

Sometimes, I read about emerging technologies and I just sit there shaking my head, mumbling, "This is not a good idea."
I felt that way a little bit when I learned that researchers had stored data on bacteria.
Now, I've got that same sinking feeling again after reading on New Scientist Tech that researchers in the U.S. and Italy have attached viruses to quantum dots to create a device that stores memory. Quantum dots, by the way, are a tiny speck of semiconducting material.
Researchers say this sort of "hybrid" material could be used to make high-density memory chips on the cheap.
Am I the only one who thinks it's a bad idea to take a quickly evolving organism, graft it to metal and add memory?
Apparently so. The article in New Scientist Tech reports that researchers already used a similar technique to create nanoscale devices that can be used as biosensors.
The article also notes that this hybrid material could be used to develop biocompatible electronics.

Koeman odds-on in sack race despite Rooney's late penalty
Toffees stuck in a rut
Ronald Koeman remains long odds-on to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post despite Everton rescuing a 1-1 draw at Brighton with a 90th-minute penalty from Wayne Rooney.
The result leaves the Toffees stuck in 16th place – seven points adrift of the Champions League positions and three above the drop zone.
Koeman was cut from 4-9 to 1-3 in Paddy Power's next-manager-to-go market. West Ham gaffer Slaven Bilic is the 9-2 second favourite while Crystal Palace's Roy Hodgson is a 6-1 chance.
Brighton had looked set to claim all three points after Anthony Knockaert's 82nd-minute goal – his first of the season – but the point leaves them level on points with Everton and Stoke.
Southampton twice came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw at home to Newcastle thanks to a double from striker Manolo Gabbiadini, who was recalled to the starting line-up.
Newcastle held leads after goals from Isaac Hayden and Ayoze Perez but had to settle for a draw which leaves them ninth – a point ahead of tenth-placed Saints.
Derby have been cut to 15-2 to win promotion from the Sky Bet Championship after goals from Matej Vydra and David Nugent secured a 2-0 home success over local rivals Nottingham Forest.
The Rams climbed to 13th – one place and one point above Forest, who have lost six of their last eight league games.

Granddaughter love them – By Deborah J. on November 10, 2015
These were a gift for my four year old granddaughter. With a little help she was able to follow the directions and build the structures. She would have liked it to have more horses. There is plenty of room in the container to store more Legos.
Arrived & Performs as expected. Lots of pieces but … – By C. Richardson on November 2, 2015
Arrived & Performs as expected. Lots of pieces but directions are very thorough. Kept my 5 year old daughter's interest for a few weeks and then it made it's way to the basement. She will play with it about once every other month still.
HAPPY to see LEGO's for GIRLS!! – By R. Parillo on September 24, 2015
I think this will be the perfect gift for my granddaughter's 3rd birthday. She loves legos and horses. I am going by the other reviews I read regarding a 3 year old playing with this set. Her 5 year old brother has been doing 7 and up legos for a couple of years now – so she is very familiar with them. Can't wait to give it to her as one of her "horsey" gifts!

Protest Over Republican 'Trojan Horse' Tax Bill Comes Downtown
Protestors follow a "Trojan horse" down Broadway on their way to a rally on Wall Street. Photo: Carl Glassman/Tribeca Trib
While President Trump was Uptown on Saturday, courting donors and drawing protestors at Cipriani's on 42nd Street, Downtown was the scene of its own show of anger at Trump and the Republican tax bill, passed by the Senate the night before.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Foley Square to denounce what they and many critics are calling a tax "scam" that favors the wealthy over "ordinary Americans." Led by a wooden "Trojan horse," as the demonstrators depict the bill, the protesters marched and chanted down Broadway sidewalks, escorted by a phalanx of motorcycle cops, and over to Wall Street for speeches by Mayor Bill de Blasio, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten and other representatives from political, labor and social service groups.
"We have a chance to stop it," de Blasio shouted to the crowd. "And we are ready to stop it, right?" A hopeful cheer rose from the crowd.

Florence Kate Upton (1873 – 1922)
was an American-born English cartoonist
and author most famous for her Golliwogg
series of children's books.
The Golliwog (originally spelled Golliwogg)
began life as a story book character created
by Florence Kate Upton. Upton was born in 1873
in Flushing, New York, to English parents who
had emigrated to the United States in 1870.
She was the second of four children.
When Upton was fourteen, her father died and,
shortly thereafter, the family returned to England.
For several years she honed her skills as an artist.
Unable to afford art school,
Upton illustrated her own children's book
in the hope of raising tuition money.
In 1895, her book, entitled
"The Adventures of Two Dutch Dolls and a Golliwogg",
was published in London.
Upton drew the illustrations, and her mother,
Bertha Upton, wrote the accompanying verse.
The book's main characters were two Dutch dolls,
Peg and Sarah Jane, and the Golliwogg.
The story begins with Peg and Sara Jane,
on the loose in a toy shop, encountering
"a horrid sight, the blackest gnome."
The little black "gnome" wore bright red trousers,
a red bow tie on a high collared white shirt, and
a blue swallow-tailed coat.
He was a caricature of American black faced
minstrels - in effect, the caricature of a caricature.
She named him Golliwogg.
"The Adventures of Two Dutch Dolls and a Golliwogg"
was immensely popular in England, and
Golliwogg became a national star.
For the next fourteen years, Bertha and
Florence Upton created a total of thirteen books
featuring Golliwogg and his adventures,
travelling to such "exotic" places as Africa and
the North Pole, accompanied by his friends,
the Dutch Dolls. In those books the Uptons put
the Golliwogg first in every title.

Maybe Hansen Natural's stock is down more than 45% from its 52 week high and Glaceau is stealing their thunder in the media as the industry's golden boy. But not everyone is forgetting how well Hansen has done….This week's Fortune Magazine, which features the 100 Fastest Growing Companies (publicly held, of course) lists Hansen as the #2 Fastest Growing Company (List: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortunefastestgrowing/2006/full_list/index.html). Their three year annual growth rate of 61% and its 344% total return (which tops the list) are extremely impressive — even more so for a beverage company.
In my opinion, the most impressive part about Hansen is the transformation they made from stale juice company into functional beverage powerhouse. They weren't afraid to try new things and weren't discouraged when their early efforts, like Hansen's Energy back in 1997, weren't home runs. As the industry evolved, they created Monster, and over time they have evolved it into one of the most formidable brands the industry has ever seen.
The question is, what next? How far can they continue to grow Monster? Your comments are welcome below….

The above photo is of a lovely fox trotter mare I have in for schooling named
" Nothing Fancy", her owner is Andrea Kahn of Jefferson WI.
This is Fancy's first time carrying a rider and I thought I would take a little opportunity to share some of my experiences in working with young horses over most of my life time now and maybe there could be something here that may help someone else doing the same work.
Fancy is actually an easy horse in the sense she has truly a good start in life with Andrea acquiring her as a yearling and doing the right things in bring her up as young horse getting her prepared to have a good start and the most possible success when her under saddle work was to begin.
She taught her to be a good citizen from the start in that she does respect space limits, in which they need being such a large animal, not by nature an aggressive one. Andrea did not get greedy in working things over and over until as some horses just get numb,reactive, resentful and/or that zoned out way about them. Fancy is happy, very engaged in her mind and open to everything I present because trust was in place. She has been taught that she is safe living in a human made world and I hope she never gets out of Andrea's possession to find out just how bad it can be with the wrong kind of people.
In my work with her, a big base of ground work was completed, slowly and only in the amount of pressure in which she was comfortable once settling in here which did not take much. Everything done in her ground work is done with the thought that it relates to what she would need to know once I was mounted.
I teach horses never to pull on a lead and everything in communication with halters, leads or long lines it done just as I would with a rein in opening and closing my fingers to create a signal , never pulling and pushing them around. The same applies when I make body contact in ground work, I always do a push release with my hands or body not a steady push. No twirling and jerking on ropes in huge ways are in my program, I don't want them to fear them or be reactive of them but be accepting. All blanket work, rope work ,saddling and everything I do with a horse is about showing them theses objects, let them smell them , touch them and in touching their entire bodies with them in a kind way, learning the feel and movement of them will not hurt them and ever be directed at them in an aggressive way.
I don't want a horse desensitized, but rather acclimated.
I don't want horses to fear me or people. I'm not into that feed the human need of conquering horses, they are not alligators but I see them treated as such all the time. That's a human problem, not a horse problem, but the horses do have to live among people with those philosophies and can say they in my opinion are missing out on how truly the best a horse can be. I only get big when I have to and only as much as I need to, never more and know how to move right on after that, as nothing happened. I'm not one that does the "lets jerk them around in the head to set the ground rules" on top of doing such a thing can do a lot of damage to the neck of a horse next setting them up for failure due to pain issues.
Things are done with consistency here, rules are not changed on a horse because of a human whim or need. Everything is thought out in what the horse needs to be the safest mount possible for them and for people.
There is a world of difference between production training and training to be a safe solid mount with no holes, while still being engaged in the mind and learning to like their job not accept it as "just their fate".
I don't find the philosophies of putting the buck in to take it out, as making a safe mount, this does not always work and have had to re-hab many horses through the years trained with that thought process. Those that don't make it in those programs are just considered throw aways and the horse being at fault or not up to standards, not that the trainer was the failing factor in that horses fate.
Even doing the right things in this manner cant always help when things just sometimes go wrong and the reality of teaching horses this happens. I can bring to mind 2 situations with horses that things went south although both of these horses did not come in with a solid base as Fancy did and had issues before ground work even took place. The first a horse I had going well under saddle and just as very big leggy young gaited horse can do, got his feet tangled up in the arena when I was on and down we went together with me trapped with one leg under him until he got up, after that he was terrified of me getting back on and had to start all over at square one with the mounting process.
The other horse far enough along in that we were out in the back woods riding and a neighbor started brush hogging which was not a problem until he hit a tree stump with it. The huge boom and racket it caused spooked this horse so bad he bolted, tripped and over his head I went, experiencing dirt in every orifice that was not covered by clothing. Again he was terrified of me getting back on and had to start again. Things like this happen and why or how an individual horse will associate any of theses experiences with a human up top and coming off as a bad thing to let one back on , only they can answer. Of coarse the owners were not understanding at all as "we're the trainers" and things like this in their minds are not supposed to happen, well they do and that's the reality of working with a living creature not a machine, but a living being ruled by nerves, muscles and emotions that can have fears.
You ride enough horses and even aged ones with years of riding and training, things happen, it's just the way it is, but we do try to minimize this from happening by getting the basics in place and making them as solid as one can.
Many stories for that book were working on these days.
One, of the biggest things I can convey in the first ride is, be soft, relaxed, but conscious, be reassuring to the horse, remind them your up there with a word here and there. They are just figuring out how to carry your weight, as you can see in the photo above Fancy is taking it all in her legs right now not using her back or upper body to pick me up and carry me. I don't want to push her and make her tighten in her body the wrong way to carry me but learn too with more rides. If we force it by putting stiffness in the body early and teach them how to tighten in the wrong way and use the wrong muscles than we already started in going backwards in finding a collected walk in the beginning and keeping that element of looseness we will need later in the flat walk, running walk or fox trot on what ever breed of gaited horses your working with. On a trotting horse you'll end up with a hollow backed trot and not a collected trot. Why go back and fix that later when you don't have to, just keep everything soft and relaxed, don't get in a hurry, take the time it takes. Shaping the body can come later, just let them learn to carry you, find their balance, realize the communication with rein aids is the same as it meant in the ground work, longeing and line driving. Don't put pressure in those stirrups as the stirrup leathers go around the saddle tree bars and when pressure is applied in the stirrups your putting pressure on the back making it even harder to learn to pick their backs up with you on.
Believe me they can feel every tension and fear you bring up with you in that saddle. Get a hold of your own emotions if fear is present and not transfer this to the horse.
I think it important to mention also if you are not teaching your own horse it is reality to know if your own skills are not in place just because their teacher can ride them does not mean they will be the same for you. You have to make that possible in your self doing your own work to be a good rider and teacher to a horse. You just don't pick up your horse and ride off into the sun set being the star among your friends or fellow riders or in your own mind. It takes years and years to bring a horse to it best possible performance's what ever it's job is to be. It will be dependant on you for sometime to continue to teach them, make that teaching all the good stuff, not the bad.
Also ,do you have the right horse for you, like the old saying "just because you bought a Quarter horse does not mean it will be good at running barrels". Know what your horse is or is not, not what you want it to be as a performer or then it will never measure up and you set it up to fail, while blaming it and everyone that has a hand in it's teaching or advising you.
It's always hard sending the horses in for schooling home, people do dumb and selfish thing all the time to their horses, for Fancy at least this will not be the case, Andrea has years on her own being an experienced horse woman in the show ring and out side and knows what it is to run many sides of equine business's. I can send her home and feel good and breath with ease as her horses well being is first.
People like her keep me going knowing Fancy will have the best working life possible.

We speak with the Toledo Blade reporter who uncovered this month massacres committed by U.S. troops in Vietnam on the scale of My Lai that had gone unreported for 36 years. Tiger Force troops torched villages, executed prisoners, and slaughtered unarmed farmers as well as their wives and children, killing hundreds. [includes transcript]
A report this month in the Toledo Blade uncovers massacres committed by U.S. troops in Vietnam that has gone unreported for 36 years.
In a story that has never been told, an elite platoon torched villages, executed prisoners, and slaughtered an untold number of unarmed civilians between May and November, 1967.
The platoon was called Tiger Force. A small, highly trained unit of 45 paratroopers, Tiger Force was created to spy on enemy forces in one of the most highly contested areas of South Vietnam: the Central Highlands.
For seven months in 1967, they violently lost control and carried out the longest series of atrocities in the Vietnam War.
As their commanders looked the other way, Tiger Force troops dropped grenades into underground bunkers where women and children were hiding. They shot unarmed civilians, in some cases as they begged for their lives. They frequently tortured and shot prisoners, severing ears and scalps for souvenirs.
After learning about the atrocities a few years later, the Army investigated the platoon for 4 1/2 years, finding numerous eyewitnesses and substantiating war crimes. The case reached the highest levels of the Pentagon and the Nixon White House. But in the end, no one was prosecuted and the case buried in the archives for three decades.
- Michael Sallah, national affairs writer for Block News Alliance, which consists of the Toledo Blade and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. He and his colleague Mitch Weiss have published a series of reports on the Tiger Force platoon in the Toledo Blade titled 'Buried Secrets, Brutal Truths'
- Tape: Former Tiger Force team leader Sgt. William Doyle speaking with the Toledo Blade's Mitch Weiss describing the mentality of Tiger Force soldiers.
- Tape: Former Tiger Force team leader Sgt. William Doyle speaking with the Toledo Blades Mitch Weiss describing killing farmers as they planted rice.
- Tape: Former Tiger Force member Sgt. Gerald Bruner recalling an incident in an attack on a village. Bruner died of cancer six years ago. This was recorded in 1988.
AMY GOODMAN:Michael Sallah joins us on the phone from Washington, D.C. Welcome to Democracy Now!
MICHAEL SALLAH: Greetings.
AMY GOODMAN: How did you first hear about this story?
MICHAEL SALLAH: Well, we were — Our Washington bureau was made aware of 22 classified Documents that a top-level former official of the Army had passed on, never fell right about the case, always felt that this was one that was not handled properly and I think that in his own sense of doing the right thing, he passed it on.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about the particular stories that you uncovered? Tell us about a village, when the Tiger-Force came in.
MICHAEL SALLAH: Well, there was a lot of stories and the soldiers certainly gave very detailed and very direct accounts of what happened. Both to C.I.D. investigators, three decades ago and many of them to us even today. An example would be when the Tiger-Force came upon a small hamlet in the Song-Vay valley in July of 1967. They were elderly farmers. They were five men, five women. They were all out in the field. They felt they were safe, partly because they were not of military age and secondly because these were their ancestral ties. This was their land. They didn't really want to go to relocation-camps. They were not very pleasant places to go and they were clearly just toiling away in the field when the commander of Tiger-Force gave the orders, "open fire." Some of the soldiers did fire on the elderly farmers. Some refused to. In the end, at least four were killed. Many more were wounded. The others, I think a couple that did survive, managed to play dead in the field, in the muck, until the soldiers moved on and that was an example of where Tiger-Force just continued to want to basically clear the land so that there would be no people there. That way they could be assured that there would be no Vietcong. In the process they killed innocent people. Another instance would be when they came upon a hamlet near Chu-Lai in November of ë67. They clearly saw numerous women and children run as they would always trained to do, these women and children — they were families largely, and family 20s would be living in a hootch — they would have their own bunkers. There are with three bunkers. Three families went and they hid into the bunkers. The soldiers saw them do so. They went up to the entranceways and, instead of bringing an interpreter or trying to call them out, they simply unclipped their grenades, threw them in and created mass underground-graves. This, according to the soldiers went on a lot. This was one particular instance that four soldiers saw, they witnessed and they later told their versions to the investigators.
AMY GOODMAN: Michael Sallah, I wanted to play a clip from one of the soldiers, former Tiger-Force team leader sergeant William Doyle and in this, he's speaking with your colleague. You wrote this expose with, Mitch Weiss.
WILLIAM DOYLE: We just didn't care, you know, what everybody did out there. Everybody was supposed to cover each other's ass. If they didn't, they were in mortal danger.
MITCH WEISS: Mm-hmm.
WILLIAM DOYLE: And that's just the way it was.
MITCH WEISS: How were you living day-to-day?
WILLIAM DOYLE: We didn't expect to live. Nobody out there with any brains expected to live.
MITCH WEISS: Mm-hmm.
WILLIAM DOYLE: You know, you did any God damn thing you felt like doing.
MITCH WEISS: Mm-hmm.
WILLIAM DOYLE: You're surprised you're still alive next week, so, you know, you do any God-damned thing you felt like doiní.
MITCH WEISS: Mm-hmm.
WILLIAM DOYLE: And especially to stay alive. I'm not saying you give up and die. You still gotta live but the way to live is to kill, because you don't have to worry about anybody thatís dead, but you have to worry about the living The first idea that crosses your mind, you pull the trigger. If it just crosses your mind, you pull the trigger.
MITCH WEISS: So, in other words, if you went into a ____ you weren't sure —
WILLIAM DOYLE: If I walked into a village and everybody wasn't postured on the ground, I shot those standing up.
AMY GOODMAN: ìI shot those standing up,î saying ìyou didn't have to worry about those who were dead. You only had to be concerned about the living.î
MICHAEL SALLAH: Yeah. William Doyle offers no remorse or apologies for what he did. He said he would do it all over again. I think if his — One of his other lines was that if —- He clearly felt that the war ended too soon. He says, ìIf I had known the war was gonna end that soon, I would have killed more.î That was his version of events. He -—
AMY GOODMAN: Well, let me play one more comment of former Tiger-Force team-leader sergeant William Doyle, again speaking with the "Toledo blade's" Mitch Weiss, describing killing farmers as they planted rice.
WILLIAM DOYLE: Well, some of ëem kept on plantiní rice. You don't put your head up to look at somebody when you're planting rice.
MITCH WEISS: Mm-hmm.
WILLIAM DOYLE: You know, you don't kill with a look.
MITCH WEISS: Mm-hmm.
MITCH WEISS: So they were killed because they looked at you guys? Is that what happened?
WILLIAM DOYLE: Yeah, more or less. It comes to your attention, you pull the trigger.
MITCH WEISS: Mm-hmm.
WILLIAM DOYLE: You know? If it crosses your mind to pull the trigger, you want to live, you pull it.
MITCH WEISS: Mm-hmm.
WILLIAM DOYLE: Any mistake you make you make in your own favor.
AMY GOODMAN: ny mistake you make, you make in your own favor." We actually reached sergeant William Doyle on the phone. He wouldn't come on with us today. But he did say blame it all on me. Blame it all on me. Don't blame it on anyone else. It's all my fault. Your response to that, Michael Sallah?
MICHAEL SALLAH: No, it's not all his fault. It was partly his fault, but there was a culture in the unit that it was a kill-unit and the leadership of the unit, all the way up to the commanders, knew what they were doing. They looked the other way. They allowed it to happen. Now, William Doyle was one of many who were involved in these atrocities and he's not alone.
AMY GOODMAN: Let's hear former Tiger-Force member sergeant Gerald Brunner recalling an incident, an attack on a village. Brunner died of cancer died six years ago. This was recorded in 1988. Sergeant Gerald Brunner.
GERALD BRUNNER: I come running around the corner. This guy was running and they fired at him and the guy fired his M-79 grenade-launcher and a round hit this guy in the head and the guy ought to be glad it didn't go off because it would have messed some of us up but, instead, again, I this guy got hit in the head and the round didn't go off. It killed him and when he — It hit his head and it just exploded and brains were all over me and this sort of thing and — within that — that really pissed me off and so my guys came in to see what was going on, so here we are, we're almost fighting our own people. I mean, to me, this is what you call murder. I mean, they — they murdered the guy.
AMY GOODMAN: And that's sergeant Gerald Brunner. He died six years ago of cancer. He pulled his weapon on other U.S. troops to try to stop them from, well, what heís saying — murdering villagers.
MICHAEL SALLAH: There were a couple of people, including Gerald Brunner, who tried to stop the violence against the villagers — the unarmed villagers. They clearly felt this was wrong, it is not — It violates not only the Army's rules of engagement, but international law and the laws of humanity but they were transferred out — not only Gerald Brunner, but lieutenant Donald Wood who tried to countermand orders by his platoon commander to stop the carnage, if you will, and — so there were a couple of brave souls out there, clearly trying to stop, but who later took their — almost immediately took their complaints to commanders and the commanders in both cases, clear — just basically blew them off.
AMY GOODMAN: And they were sent to… he was, at least, Brunner ñ sent to a psychiatrist?
MICHAEL SALLAH: Yes. They though that for you to put your gun on another soldier, you must be crazy. We're going to send you a psychiatrist. Of course, Gerald Brunner went ahead and told the psychiatrist, "This is wrong. You can think I'm crazy, but what they are doing is wrong."
AMY GOODMAN: Michael Sallah, you and Mitch Weiss, who did this expose in the "Toledo blade," are in Washington, talking to Congress-members and Pentagon-officials about whether or not there will be a follow-up investigation. What's been the response?
MICHAEL SALLAH: Well, I think at this point, I believe that the Pentagon is considering — They're taking a hard look at the case. I don't know. My sense is that unless they're called upon to reinvestigate, they will probably just do their own evaluation. I believe they're looking at it now. They have a lot of work to do. There is a lot of archived can documents to go through. Thereís a lot of people to talk to. Our investigation took eight months. Even with a team of people at the Pentagon, it's gonna take a while. Members of Congress have, in some cases, are still starting to — They're still actually reading the series and I believe Dennis Kucinich is writing a letter to the Pentagon. I believe there may be a couple others that are joining him.
AMY GOODMAN: And what is your — What is your sense of how many more massacres there are to uncover? I mean, when you think about My Lai and the profound effect that this had, this expose had on a country, are you beginning to see the same response from the piece and your paper, "the Toledo Blade"?
MICHAEL SALLAH: Well, yeah. I believe the response we've gotten, we've gotten both, you know, thereís been people that have wanted this to be continued, that we should look at these very carefully and they've clearly applauded our efforts at looking at this again. Others have been very critical, almost in the same way they were when My Lai came out: ìHow could you do this? We're in the middle of a war.î
AMY GOODMAN: And the Pentagon? Its response?
MICHAEL SALLAH: The Pentagon's response has been, surprisingly… It was very refreshing to hear a couple of the J.A.G.'s, who we interviewed — one in particular — say that we need to look at this. This was something that, that was the old Army. Itís not the new Army and, if this is something from the past that was covered up, it needs to be — and he applauded our efforts.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, on that note, I want to thank you very much for being with us.
MICHAEL SALLAH: Sure.
AMY GOODMAN: That's Michael Sallah of "the Toledo Blade" and you can see this piece on their website.

Post subject: Murdered man the source of Wikileaks material?
This may be the source of the leaks from the DNC to Wikileaks. In which case, the Russian hacking story falls apart. But it raises so many other questions -- would the Democrats actually look on murder as a solution to workplace larceny? Who knows?
Murdered DNC Staffer Seth Rich Shared 44,053 Democrat Emails With WikiLeaks: Report
by Tyler Durden
May 16, 2017 9:52 AM
For the past several months, Democrats have based their "Resist 45" movement on unsubstantiated assertions that the Trump campaign coordinated with Russian intelligence officials to undermine the 2016 Presidential Election thereby 'stealing' the White House from Hillary Clinton. Day after day we've all suffered through one anonymously sourced, "shock" story after another from the New York Times and/or The Washington Post with new allegations of the 'wrongdoing'.
But, new evidence surfacing in the Seth Rich murder investigation may just quash the "Russian hacking" conspiracy theory. According to a new report from Fox News, it was former DNC staffer Seth Rich who supplied 44,000 DNC emails to WikiLeaks and not some random Russian cyber terrorist, as we've all been led to believe.
According to Fox News, though admittedly via yet another anonymous FBI source, Rich made contact with WikiLeaks through Gavin MacFadyen, an American investigative reporter and director of WikiLeaks who was living in London at the time. According to Fox News sources, federal law enforcement investigators found 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments sent between DNC leaders from January 2015 to May 2016 that Rich shared with WikiLeaks before he was gunned down on July 10, 2016.
The Democratic National Committee staffer who was gunned down on July 10 on a Washington, D.C., street just steps from his home had leaked thousands of internal emails to WikiLeaks, law enforcement sources told Fox News.
A federal investigator who reviewed an FBI forensic report detailing the contents of DNC staffer Seth Rich's computer generated within 96 hours after his murder, said Rich made contact with WikiLeaks through Gavin MacFadyen, a now-deceased American investigative reporter, documentary filmmaker, and director of WikiLeaks who was living in London at the time.
"I have seen and read the emails between Seth Rich and Wikileaks," the federal investigator told Fox News, confirming the MacFadyen connection. He said the emails are in possession of the FBI, while the stalled case is in the hands of the Washington Police Department.
Then, on July 22, just 12 days after Rich was killed, WikiLeaks published internal DNC emails that appeared to show top party officials conspiring to stop Bernie Sanders from becoming the party's presidential nominee. As we've noted before, the DNC's efforts to block Sanders resulted in Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigning as DNC chairperson.
These new revelations seem to be consistent with the findings of Rod Wheeler, a former DC homicide detective and Fox News contributor, whose private investigation firm was hired by Rich's family to probe the case.
"My investigation up to this point shows there was some degree of email exchange between Seth Rich and WikiLeaks," Wheeler told Fox News. "I do believe that the answers to who murdered Seth Rich sits on his computer on a shelf at the DC police or FBI headquarters."
"My investigation shows someone within the D.C. government, Democratic National Committee or Clinton team is blocking the murder investigation from going forward," Wheeler told Fox News. "That is unfortunate. Seth Rich's murder is unsolved as a result of that."
The botched robbery theory, which police have pursued for nearly a year, isn't panning out, Wheeler said. Two assailants caught on a grainy video tape from a camera posted outside a grocery mart, shot Rich twice in his back, but did not take his wallet, cell phone, keys, watch or necklace worth about $2,000.
As you'll recall, Rich's death has been shrouded in mystery from the start as he was reportedly shot from behind in the wee hours of the morning but was not robbed of the nearly $2,000 worth of cash and jewelry on his body at the time.
Rich had been at Lou's City Bar a couple of miles from his home until about 1:15 a.m. He walked home, calling several people along the way. He called his father, Joel Rich, who he missed because he had gone to sleep. He talked with a fraternity brother and his girlfriend, Kelsey Mulka.
Around 4:17 a.m., Rich was about a block from his home when Mulka, still on the phone with him, heard voices in the background. Rich reassured her that he was steps away from being at his front door and hung up.
Two minutes later, Rich was shot twice. Police were on the scene within three minutes. Rich sustained bruising on his hands and face. He remained conscious, but died at a nearby hospital less than two hours later.
Shortly thereafter, Julian Assange implied that Seth Rich was, in fact, a source for WikiLeaks and offered a $130,000 reward for information leading to his killer.
Strangely, the DNC refused to allow the FBI access to the server that would established if a hack had taken place, Equally strangely, the FBI did not issue a subpoena to get it anywayl

Interesting to say the leqast.

There is some question whether that is accurate. DNC says they never asked , but apparently they agreed on a third party.

This gets a little close to Alex Jones type of material, but if the emails that Wikileaks released are on Rich's laptop, that's hard evidence of the leak, at a minimum. Did the DNC have Rich murdered? That's a conclusion I don't want to leap to right away. I can't really explain why not ... perhaps it is just my awe of the powerful.
But equally, these situations have happened before. In medieval Italy, the leading figures of the day had their rivals bumped off. At least at certain periods, they did. The American colossus (it figures) would be tempted, certainly. We were willing to blame Putin for those radioactive poisons that were being used to strike down Russian emigres at one time. Why is it impossible that assassinations sometimes happen in Washington, where the stakes are so high? Against Americans?
Forget political loyalties for a minute. Let's pretend we're in a Tom Clancy plot. What if the leading statesmen of one party -- or one of them -- finds out compromising emails are being duplicated, and tracks down who is doing the duplicating. Let's assume he sniffs out that something bad for his side is about to happen. What then?
What does be do? Does he go to the police? It isn't even clear a crime has taken place at this point. If the emails become evidence in a trial, and can be read by at least some outsiders. Not ideal. What are the other choices? My point is that when the stakes are high enough, murder seems like an alternative.
What if the discoverer is closely associated with a powerful apparatchik, the kind of guy who can 'get things done', and at the same time, would be in the pool from which the most senior figures of a future government would be drawn.
Does there come a point where the stakes are so huge that risking being implicated in a murder plot is worth it, rationally? Where the chances of being caught and convicted is (perhaps) 5%, but the reward is a place in the history books?
Is that where we are in the 21st century?

Whoops, the story is changing. The private investigator is denying he said what he said on television. The Fox reporter said another unidentified source inside the FBI claimed to have read the emails on the laptop, but nobody knows who has the laptop now.
If the FBI did, indeed, have the laptop, then Comey might have known what was on it, which raises the interesting question -- why, then, the Russian investigation?

This is squaring off into a huge battle. On the one side, you have an alliance, forged over the decades, between inside-government officials and the Democratic Party, with some participation by old-school Republicans, like McCain. It's a powerful block, and the battle is taking place on their home field. This side is called the "
deep state
The mainstream media are almost totally in support of the deep state.
The other side is Donald Trump's group, an electoral insurgency aiming at 'draining the swamp', an allusion to the general corruption and decadence of present-day Washington. So far, despite the media's best efforts, the Trump base has stayed loyal.
This is a battle over which direction America is to take -- to continue to implement the globalist agenda, or to return to the nation state scale of government, where governments have a correlation with ethnicity and culture.
It's the biggest battle yet, and it is over control of the Department of Justice. Right now, it is being run by functionaries put in place by Obama, and which became nearly lawless under Holder and Lynch. For example, they never prosecuted the IRS scandal, which is a bigger-than-Watergate scandal all on its own. And if the FBI had the Rich emails, it means that Comey has continued the Russian investigation when there is an alternative explanation -- certainly good enough to establish 'reasonable doubt' -- and there is no evidence linking Trump insiders to collusion with the Russians. It means that Comey was not the ethical legal mind his reputation was built on.
This will not likely end when the Russian conspiracy story is over. This is a big battle in a war.

There is some question whether that is accurate. DNC says they never asked , but apparently they agreed on a third party.
When the emails first surfaced, the FBI wanted to check the DNC servers to possibly detect the hacking. Instead, the Democrats managed to convince the FBI to be satisfied with the report they got from a private company, called
The FBI has ample power to subpoena servers like this, when there is a question of a foreign nation interfering with an American election. Why would they settle for less? Obviously because it is an election issue.

Patrick Wilson Joins Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus'
Posted on Friday, August 12th, 2011 by Russ Fischer
Briefly: Rumors had been around for some time, but now we've got official confirmation: at some point actor Patrick Wilson (Watchmen, Little Children) joined the cast of Ridley Scott's Prometheus. We don't know his role or how significant a part he's got in the movie. In fact, while quite a few rumors have hit the internet, and a good many spy pics have floated around, the real meat of the film's story remains somewhat obscure. (You can read potentially very spoilerish plot details here, though we don't know to what degree they are accurate.) I don't want to run most of the set photos that have hit, but suffice to say that they bear a very distinctively Alien influence.
The cast features Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green and Guy Pearce. No footage is online at this point, but I recapped the Comic Con footage presentation here. I think people will be fairly happy with the look of the film when Fox releases an official trailer. Prometheus opens in 3D on June 8, 2012. Patrick Wilson also has a part in Jason Reitman's upcoming Young Adult, which hits on December 16 of this year. [St. Petersburg Times, confirmed by The Playlist]

Ella says, The High Holidays are a time when all of us stand alone before God as we reflect on our lives and review our past year. But whether you realize it or not, you're part of a much larger Jewish community.
With reasons for not wanting to go home for the holidays, 'Alone for the holiday' feels a great sense of loss.

The Christmas party season is upon us and people across the district will be attending celebrations with friends, family and colleagues.
If you are out and having a drink, then please don't drive.
And if you are taking a taxi home, please make sure it's licensed.
Bassetlaw Council has introduced a wide range of measures to increase the standards, safety and protection of the travelling public.
By taking a licensed cab you can be safe in the knowledge that your driver has had an enhanced DBS check, that they have had an independent medical and have also participated in safeguarding vulnerable passenger training.
All licenced vehicles are inspected to a standard in excess of that of a normal MOT and newly licensed drivers have to pass a practical taxi driver assessment and knowledge test of the Bassetlaw area.
It has come to the attention of the licensing department that unlicensed cabs and drivers are operating illegally. If you choose to use one of these you have no way of knowing if your driver or vehicle is safe.
So please don't take a risk, take a licensed cab instead.
Last week, athletes, coaches and volunteers gathered for the annual Bassetlaw Sports Awards, highlighting the fantastic achievements of local sports people over the course of the year.
Bassetlaw is a sporting district. And whilst the event focused on individual and team winners, credit and acknowledgement also needs to go to all the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes and enable our athletes to reach and surpass their goals.
Finally, at this time of the year, in the run- up to Christmas it is very easy to overstretch financially.
And some people do turn to loan sharks and other illegal money lenders.
Please, please stay clear of using loan sharks.
If you borrow from a loan shark you will be caught in a web of debt that you may never be clear from.
It may seem like a good idea but you can quickly be trapped by high repayments where if you can't afford to repay, they'll take it back in other ways.
In Bassetlaw we have an excellent credit union, 2Shires, which you can save with over the course of a year and which also offers three different types of loan.
Find out more at www.2shires.org.uk or by calling 01909 500575.

Winter Olympics: Destiny on Ice Fulfilled, as Team Canada Wins 3-2 over Team USAMarch 1, 2010
As I sit here sipping my third glass of wine and watching Sidney Crosby skate around the ice surface of GM Place waving an oversized Canadian flag from a pole, I am reminded of how proud I am to be Canadian.
The emotion that surrounded Canada's dramatic overtime win today was palpable over the course of the weekend.
Every person I talked to, every store I went into and everything I read was all pointing towards today's gold medal match and with Crosby's overtime heroics, I can say that I am as happy and relieved as any in this great country!
Tonight's game, unlike some of the other 2010 Olympic hockey games to date, lived up to all of the hype and provided one of the most entertaining spectacles of the last 50 years of hockey.
The game was close right from the start of the game as the crowd's intensity seemed to buoy both teams. Canada's Toews made it 1-0 at 12:50 of this first, when he picked up the rebound off of a Mike Richards shot from in close and roofed it from a tight angle.
The scoring continued in the second period, as Corey Perry made it 2-0 for Canada by rifling a shot from the high slot past Miller at 7:13.
Despite being down by two, the U.S. wasn't ready to quit when Ryan Kesler scored at 12:44 to pull them to within one.
The score stayed at 2-1 for Canada with both teams having their chances through the rest of the second and most of the third.
The status quo disappeared, however, as Canada, leading by one, went into a defensive shell about half way through the third period. As soon as I saw them playing the 1-2-2 trapping style, I could feel the potential for disaster.
Have you ever been watching a hockey game when your team was leading by one and started to sit back too early? And when they did so, did you ever get that ominous foreboding feeling that the opposition would tie the game? Well Canada, unfortunately, fell into that classic trap.
The result of Canada's passive play was that with time winding down, Ryan Miller on the bench and the U.S. pressing for the tie, Parise's second effort tied the game with 25 seconds to play.
Picking up the rebound off of a Langenbrunner deflection in front, Parise whipped the puck past a falling Luongo to silence the rumbling crowd and send the game to overtime.
Now if you didn't know, overtime is a little different in international hockey than it is in the NHL. In international hockey, overtime is one twenty minute, four-on-four, sudden death period before going to a shootout to decide things.
So for tonight's game, this meant a show case of some of the best hockey talent in the world, with a lot of extra skating room. Yummy.
Despite this delicious prospect, both teams were very tentative to start the overtime period. To a man, they looked more interested in avoiding a costly mistake rather than in pressing for the win. Things changed, however, about five minutes in as Canada started to relax and take the play to the U.S.
After a few nervous moments on both sides of the ice, Canada, led by Crosby, streaked down the ice. Crosby, carrying the puck over the offensive blue line, tried to split the U.S. defense and charge the net. Crosby was stopped and Miller deflected the puck into the corner.
Jerome Iginla picked up the puck in the corner and shuttled a soft, back door pass to Crosby, who quickly fired the winner through Miller's five-hole. Miller, who had extended his stick in a poke-check attempt, was caught by surprise by Crosby's quick release.
Crosby threw off his gloves and helmet in celebration, as the Canadian team players swarmed him in the U.S. zone to celebrate their golden win.
With that goal, Crosby said goodbye to the rapidly mounting criticism for his lack of production in this tournament and said hello to joining Paul Henderson and Mario Lemieux in Canadian hockey history.
Final score: Canada 3—USA 2 (OT).
Lost in the shadow of Canada's win is the fact that their gold medal gives Canada, as a nation, 14 gold medals in this Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Those 14 medals break the record for the most gold medals won by a host nation at the Olympics.
So, congratulations Canada on your ice hockey gold, your gold medal record and for hosting one of the most memorable Winter Olympics in Olympic history.
Oh Canada, indeed!

Anyone who thinks that really dressing up a product must involve some significant environmentally detrimental practices can be delightedly proven wrong. Look at Valia Skincare packaging: it has been marvelously manicured with minimal impact on the planet.
Designer Chul Lee chose 100% post-consumer fiber for the cardboard that makes the boxes, 100% recyclable amber bottles, and inks that have been made from soy. Even with these extremely earthy decisions, the cartons flaunt a pristine white base with beautifully embossed floral images. Every piece looks delicately manufactured.
The Valia Skincare packaging is all tied together perfectly in the brown card boxes that exude a natural quality. This line of products is proof that designers shouldn't feel restricted to work with eco-friendly materials and methods.

The incident happened on a morning telelvision show during a heated discussion of the country's politics in the run-up to repeat elections on June 17
Mr Kasidiaris took offence at a reference by radical left Syriza party member Rena Dorou over a court case that is pending against him and emptied a glass of water over her.
As Ms Kanelli stood up in protest of the dousing, Mr Kasidiaris, who has military training, slapped her several times across the face.
Talk show host Giorgos Papadakis immediately intervened and tried to restrain Mr Kasidiaris.
The Athens prosecutor has ordered the arrest of Kasidiaris, who was elected to Parliament at Greece's recent inconclusive polls.

One of the dojo guys (49 years old, 2nd kyu) asked me to ask::
"ask if anyone out there has had spinal fusion surgery (l5/s1 vertebrae) and if they do aikido and what the recovery time is"
He's got one messed up back...he has had sugery before and now may need it again. He has been off the mat for a few weeks now, due to bad back pain.
If anyone can help, that would be great!
Nope. Nobody cuts me unless I am out of options. Bad back here. Last 25 years a cripple compared to how I was before some very serious groin and abdominal injuries.
Keeping this short - Chi Kung, Rolfing, Tai Chi Chuan, better options. Spinal surgery is largely experimental - chi kung has been helping (patient) people for over 4000 years.
The above are my opinions, but I will share that I'm back. I can do koshi nage, and take ukemi, about half as well as before I got hurt. Not bad for 'gimpy dave'.
Bid your friend good luck from me please.
Karen Wolek
Thanks, David. I sure will.
James Kelly
I had terrible back problems for years. The only thing that worked for me: Yoga. Id recommend a light style like Bikram.
Thanks, David. I sure will.
Ask away. I have had three lumber surgeries but I passed on the fussion. That was a good thing since I am bad enough off as it is. I can still practice but I have to stretch up to an hour in advance and my whole left leg goes to sleep if I dont keep moving. Weapons are a killer! I would be happy to anwer any questions you, the original poster, or anyone has. I started a thread you can find by searching the work Handicapped or the like. Beyond just getting on the mat, there are many issues involving teachers that are not very understanding. Thankfully I got to shodan rank before I lost some functionality. Email direct to itsdaveh at comcast dot net it you like.

I have had two surgeries; both at L4-5 and L5-S1, these were disectomies and not fusions, the first one was great for a while until scar tissue wrapped around several left side nerve bundles and would cause severe left leg phantom pain about five minutes after waking up. I could do weapons work for about five minutes then Id have to bend and stretch my lower back or go insane. After about a year of severe pain I opted for another surgery which has worked out well.
Here is what Ive found since, if your friend is having back pain he most likely does not need surgery. Surgery is for the relief of pressure on the nerves which run from the spinal area and cause pain in the lower extremities if they emanate from the lumbar and sciatic area of the back.
In retrospect; if I had it to do all over again I would have not had the surgery. I would suggest having your friend explore weight loss, physical therapy, Tai Chi, Taijiquan, spinal decompression, and acupuncture. Continue to train when he can, and be aware of his limitations. Shop around for other neurosurgeon opinions, and remember they make their living from doing surgery. Find one that will prescribe an aggressive alternative to surgery, and will do the surgery only as a last resort. Im not a physician; this is just my experience, Ive been training Aikido for thirteen years now. Tell your friend good luck!
A lot of whether he will be able to practice is going to be individual. If he has severe disc degeneration, a herniation hitting nerve roots, spinal stenosis, etc. all play a factor. Surgery success rates are not encouraging and I have seen statistics stating anywhere from 30-50% failure rates. New technology has developed artificial discs. One of my patients had this done in Germany where they have done it for over 10 years using the Charite (French)-I believe that is the spelling-artificial disc. He traveled all over Europe after the surgery and had a great result. However, everyone is different. The artificial disc is encouraging since it comes close to the movement properties of the normal disc. This prevents or lessens the likelihood of a disc at another level going bad.
A surgeon specializing in sports medicine would be more likely to be encouraging about getting back on the mat-that's what they get paid for-getting athletes back on the field, mat, etc.
Another possible treatment might be decompression therapy if he is a candidate-VAX-D for example.
Karen Wolek
Thanks, everyone. I am passing all of these posts onto my friend. Thanks so much for your time and sharing your experiences!
Janet Rosen
i don't have link to research but its over 10 yrs ago probably that the study was done showing NO correlation between disc abnormality and back pain. that is, the study -- which was large and controlled, etc-- showed that folks with NO back pain were about as likely to have abnormalities on mri as folks with a lot of back pain. which should indicate that something other than/in addition to the disc abnormality alone is causing the problem. as a nurse, whil ortho was not my specialty, i knew of few people who were happy w/ results of fusions (though in some cases where the spine is really severely messed up it is probably necessary--most back pain patinets do NOT fit this profile)
personally, i agree w/ those who recommend looking into therapies that involve dealing with areas where the nerves can be pinched/entrapped by muscle distal to where the nerves exit the spine (myofascial trigger points) and movement based therapies.
Karen Wolek
My friend wanted me to let you all know he "hobbled onto the mat" yesterday morning. He had the surgery on April 11th, so he got back on the mat a little less than three months post-op. He did the warm-ups/stretches and the first half of class or so. No falls. I did not get to practice with him, though....sensei had him pair up with the second-in-command the whole time. To protect him from the rest of us or from himself, I dunno. ;)
James Kelly
that's great. let us know how long until his pain comes back...
Lyle Bogin
Spinal injuries and ukemi...I dunno man. I wouldn't be able to throw someone if I knew that had this problem.
Spinal injuries and ukemi...I dunno man. I wouldn't be able to throw someone if I knew that had this problem.
then by all means don't throw the man! ;)
I have tried it both ways and I am much worse if I dont practice Aikido anymore. Just the stretching is not enough. I quit taking breakfalls along with most of my over 50 friends. I am with a teacher that is aware of my situation and of course they all get their signed waivers. I can do most anything except any Koshi and standing stationary waiting to do a weapon's kata throws my back pain off the charts! As long as I keep moving and dont let gravity increase pressure on my lower disks I am practically normal. CBS news reported on a study of people with severe spinal stenosis and surgery was working out well some 70% or the time. This wasnt true though for herniated disk patients. But they are still all 'Practicing' their medicine and even if you feel cured after a surgery, you dont really know what the end result is until the area has completed healing. (BTW, it took me about 4 months after surgery before I could return to the mat.) Scar tissue forming after a seeming successful operation can give you back symptoms worse than you started with. That is the part they dont tell you. If they ever discover a way to remove material from arthritis and stenosis encroaching on your nerves, without cutting tissue, only then do I think aggressive procedures can be assured of always producing good results. I think a spinal stimulator, installed sort of like a pacemaker, would solve my current problems (unchanged from my initial entry near the top) but I doubt I could get myself thrown around the mat with such a device installed. Recently I have started to get some extra relief by hanging upside down for 20 minutes a day, but too soon to tell if it is helping long term. You all keep stretching!

Two Points Individuals Do Certainly Not Comprehend In Connection With LASIK Eye Medical ProceduresThe eye can be examined with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the ability to relocate the orbit and the response of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye may be checked in several ways. The client might be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of varying sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. Tension within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In particular illness, specifically in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased markedly.
Nevertheless, it ought to be well bore in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other problems also. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can alert the patient and the physician to difficulties in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
One's dependence on sight is highlighted when one deals with a possible or momentary permanent loss of this important sense. For this reason, when restorative procedures are looked for, certain forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were established to motivate reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgery is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is fixed permanently.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, permitting much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people must understand. Probably, the main reason this kind of eye surgical treatment has become well accepted is because the majority of its cases had actually succeeded.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most sensitive part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgery involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive portions of the eye, the majority of individuals state that the operation can be extremely dangerous.
Simply puts, a easy error could nearly cause an individual's check this site out life time loss of sight. It is essential to think about many factors before choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the best restorative measure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a best treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment might fix your vision however it does not necessarily mean that it can offer you a ideal vision. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always imply they have perfect vision also.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not constantly be the ideal eye surgery the way the majority of people view it
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in several ways. It ought to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue may have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can notify the patient and the physician to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction.


text: Be careful potential Sony Minidisc buyers... looks like Sony is afraid of piracy. To the point where their software is written so that it is impossible to copy from the MD to PC using USB if you recorded the material on ANYTHING BUT the PC! This seems incredibly stupid to me. Everyone I know who owns an MD player owns it because of its potential to make good LIVE recordings. Of course, it is possible to do a straight playback record using the line out, but this takes far more time. Anyone else had this problem? Are there any alternative pieces of software out there? Thanks in advance
