Shilake History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Ireland there was already a system for creating patronymic names in place. Therefore, the native population regarded many of the Anglo-Norman naming practices that these settlers were accustomed to as rather unusual. Despite their differences, the two different systems eventually merged together rather insidiously. The Strongbownians, when they arrived, displayed a preference for used nickname surnames. Two of the most prevalent forms were oath nicknames and imperative names. Oath names often carried blessings or were formed from habitual expressions. Imperative names, formed from a verb added to a noun or an adverb, metaphorically described the bearer's occupations. The nick name surname Shilake is derived from a nickname for a short-haired person. However, at least one expert holds the alternative theory that the surname Shilake denotes a fair-haired person. According to this theory, the name is derived from the words "scir," which means "bright," and "locc," which means "hair." The Gaelic form of the name Shilake is Scurlóg.
Early Origins of the Shilake family
Cheshire, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

Migration of the Shilake family to the New World and Oceana
Ireland's Great Potato Famine left the country's inhabitants in extreme poverty and starvation. Many families left their homeland for North America for the promise of work, freedom and land ownership. Although the Irish were not free of economic and racial discrimination in North America, they did contribute greatly to the rapid development of bridges, canals, roads, and railways. Eventually, they would be accepted in other areas such as commerce, education, and the arts. An examination of immigration and passenger lists revealed many bearing the name Shilake: John Sherlock settled in St. Christopher in 1635; he and his wife Elizabeth later settled in Virginia in the same year; John Sherlocke settled in Virginia in 1643.

Mazda Repair Questions? Ask Mechanics for Answers ASAP
if the engine is cranking over and over but not catching then I'd 1st suggest to remove coils and check the underside for whitish burn marks
if they are present then the coils need replacement along with the plugs too
it woudl also be an idea to do a compression test on the engine at the same time
do you still need help?

Four lives intersect in Margot Livesey's sixth novel (after Banishing Verona, Mar/Apr 2005)—with tragic results.
The Story: In four interconnected novellas, the residents of a London house struggle with seemingly ordinary lives. Sean has left his wife and his life's work for the alluring and self-absorbed Abigail, a successful actress and the house's owner, though he fears that their relationship is cooling. Abigail, abandoned as a teen by her free-spirited parents, chafes against Sean's expectations and throws herself into launching her own theater company. Meanwhile, Dara, Abigail's best friend and downstairs tenant, falls back on her training as a counselor when her own lover refuses to commit and her estranged father, Cameron, the fourth resident of the house, seeks a reconciliation. As each is forced to confront the sins and secrets of the past, tragedy looms ahead.
HarperCollins. 320 pages. $24.95. ISBN: 0061451525
Chicago Tribune
"It's rare for a novel to contain characters as alive as the ideas they are created to explore, but Margot Livesey's The House on Fortune Street is one of the best of this kind to come along in a while. … Livesey is attentive as always to word choice and rhythm, and her prose beautifully evokes the thwarted passion and thrilling intrigue found in the works of Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, Keats and Charles Dodgson (a.k.a. Lewis Carroll)." Conan Putnam
Raleigh News & Observer
"Longtime readers of Livesey's fiction will recognize her signature attributes: enticing, elusive characters; bright lives that come to reveal dark, even sinister mysteries; a ravishing prose style. … In its exploration of these lives, intricately entangled and richly imagined, in its deep and wise comprehension of human possibility, and in the gorgeousness of its vision, it is not just a superb book and not just a transporting one." Erin McGraw
Boston Globe
"It is a story about sadness, about our desperate deceptions and lonely trajectories, but this does not diminish the absolute enjoyment it affords. … The considerable suspense in her writing arises not so much from complicated turns of plot as from her ability to project the emotional states of her characters into the universe they inhabit." Carrie Brown
Entertainment Weekly
"Livesey's writing is so melodic, intimate, and perfectly calibrated in The House on Fortune Street that she crawls beneath the skin of each [character], telling her tale from four distinct but interlocking points of view and meticulously knitting the threads into a devastating whole. It's a work that lingers long after the last page is turned." Leah Greenblatt
Los Angeles Times
"Livesey probes deep into her characters; her understanding of them is profound and her ability to convey her insights powerful. By the novel's wrenching conclusion, she has succeeded in making you feel that you have been living these characters' lives along with them." Martin Rubin
Hartford Courant
"Predictable as it is, much of this novel is fun to read because Livesey knows how to draw readers into her characters' problems and rush them along. What is perhaps most interesting is that in a book designed to appeal to women, the most attractive and interesting characters are the men." Kit Reed
Critical Summary
Livesey, a professor at Emerson College in Boston, is a master of character development. She evokes her subjects' lives and multilayered emotional states so vividly that commonplace scenes contain novelty and tension. Though the story is divided into four self-contained sections, each narrated by a different character, critics were pleased to note that Livesey adeptly maintains control of the intricate plot. Most were charmed by her vibrant prose, sparkling with clarity and insight, and her frequent references to the works of such literary masters as Charles Dickens and Charlotte Brontë. The Hartford Courant may have deemed the novel predictable, but others considered "this seemingly mundane story" imbued with "such substance and freshness that it draws the reader right in" (Los Angeles Times).

The best and the worst? For the moment the worst column may outweigh the best. But there is plenty of time for that to change.
The worst
Exasperation has set in whenever it rains. Dry days are often followed by wet evenings — in Colombo especially — and there has been only half an hour of leeway to get a game in. So players and spectators mull around all day and then are frustrated as the rain descends.
TV schedules are sacrosanct. But there is an absurdity here best exemplified by the West Indies and Ireland game. There was a way for them to play that match (start earlier, for example) but instead the Irish were denied the chance of producing an epic performance. Moreover, this is an odd time to have a tournament in Sri Lanka. There is the suspicion that the ICC is more interested in a convenient, lucrative tournament than a dry one.
There has been a dearth of close games so far. The usual truism (I've used it myself) is that the shorter the game the more likely the upset. Yet that has not been the case. The analysts of the big teams have set to work. Not much is left to chance. Zimbabwe were thrashed twice, Bangladesh twice, Ireland once, Afghanistan once.
There were too many empty seats at the start (it costs between 14p and 50p to get in) but the crowds are starting to turn up – and they have seen some fine batting, though not by England against India. That was easily the most inept batting by a major side in the tournament so far. It was a macabre performance by England's youthful middle order. They are exciting; they are not reliable.
Flash interviews in between innings – what a banal intrusion into what are supposed to be life and death struggles.
One final grumble. It is a pain to have to keep an eye and an ear on the punditry of ESPN's Cricket Extra. In fact, KP has been rather good – he's starting to enjoy it – but we could do without having to check whether he has committed an indiscretion or not. Some say he should not have accepted the ESPN invitation. Have you heard how many 0s there are at the end of his contract? It might be a while before he appears on TMS.
The best
There have been fine moments too. Afghanistan's performance against India was uplifting, thanks to Shapoor Zadran, the left-arm opening bowler, who prowled around like Goran Ivanisevic. And that helicopter shot from Mohammad Shahzad.
The pitches have been excellent with sufficient bounce to encourage six-hitting. Yet the good spinners have prospered, especially those with a bit of mystery. Watch out for Sunil Narine, so bland in England for West Indies, and any of the Indians as well as Saeed Ajmal and Ajantha Mendis. I have a sneaking feeling West Indies might pick Samuel Badree, a wrist-spinner from Trinidad, against England (the analysts will have to earn their corn to find much footage of him).
Chris Gayle still adds a frisson whenever he takes guard and check out his training shoes. The heels match his socks so it looks as if he is wearing sandals. Virat Kohli looks in wonderful form, so too Imran Nazir and Nasir Jamshed of Pakistan, and New Zealand's Brendon McCullum.
Jos Buttler's fielding. Jonny Bairstow's fielding. But we want to applaud their batting.
And there was a nice moment at about 12.30am at the Ireland hotel after the washed out game against West Indies. Supporters and families, milling around the bar when the team returned to the hotel, broke out into a round of spontaneous and constant applause. Ireland had not played particularly well but they loved 'em anyway.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Let's share some tips about how to take care of our beautiful petticoats ^___^
Compared with most hard net petticoats which are good for a party or an anime convention, if you are into lolita fashion like me, it's very important to get one of these organza petticoats! If you are interested to know why, please read one of our previous post by click this.
Let's share some tips about how to take care of our beautiful petticoats ^___^
Most of our petticoats are made by soft organza, a kind of top quality sash, and the good puffy shape of the panniers are realized by multiple layers of organza.
Organza decides the sash will be less puffy in the humid days, which is normal. It will go back to the perfect shape when less rain.
Because the petticoat is very big, we have shipped it to you in a small bag after compressed. Please don't be surprised to see the size of pack - after open it, all you need to do is to shake it hardly a few times, then hang somewhere - back to perfect in a while.
*When put on and take off the petticoat, please pull open the elastic waist first, or you could pull the cotton inner lining; the key is, avoid stretch the organza directly, which may easily damage the sash.
*When shape of the skirt is not perfect as you stand up or sit down, all needed is to shake shake ^___^
*If there's only small spots of dirty or stain, please take paper tissue or soft towel with a little detergent, and scrub gently.
*Please don't use brush.
*For overall wash, handwash or gentle mode machine wash is good. Please don't dry with machine - hang dry or hand squeeze is no problem.
*Avoid long time exposure to sunlight.
Storage:*Hang it in cold dry places adviced.*To save the space, you could squeeze it into a small pack, put it at cold dry place.
If any other questions, don't hesitate to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Banks Decline
Six of 10 industries in the S&P 500 retreated, with financials falling 1% to pace the losers. Bank of America dropped 2.3% to $13.35 and JPMorgan slid 1.4% to $53.84 for the biggest losses in the Dow.
Bank of America's $8.5 billion settlement with mortgage-bond investors is set to be considered by a New York court two years after it struck the deal to resolve claims over home loans bundled into securities.
F5 Networks declined 5.5% to $78.61 for the biggest drop in the S&P 500. Morgan Stanley downgraded the shares to equal weight, similar to a neutral rating, from overweight. The stock has dropped 19% this year.
Merck rose 4.9% to $48.98 and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. added 6.7% to $49.04. The next generation of experimental immune-boosting drugs from the drugmakers are producing such promising early results that doctors at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago are openly speculating that some patients with the deadliest form of skin cancer may be cured.
Further Gains
The S&P 500 has risen for seven straight months which, combined with its strong start to the year, may indicate further gains for stocks in June, according to Sam Stovall, S&P's New York-based chief equity strategist.
A seven-month winning streak has happened 13 times since 1945 and it has led to advances of 0.4% on average in the eighth month as stock prices rose 62% of the time, Stovall wrote in a note today. The S&P 500's advances in January and February may also help as the benchmark U.S. equity index has returned annual gains in each of the 26 years with such a positive start since World War II. The strong starts to the year have been followed by increases of 1% in June compared with its normal flat performance.
"Could sell in May have started in the end of the month, rather than the usual? One could easily infer that from the performance of the last three days," the strategist wrote. "However, history says, but does not guarantee, that the S&P 500's performance in June could surprise to the upside."

Diabetes refers to the body condition under which the blood sugar level in the body exceeds the maximum prescribed level. The excessiveness of blood sugar level leads to serious complications like danger to retina, kidney, heart, and liver. The intake of sugar is converted into energy by the action of insulin, but due to insufficient secretion of insulin or due to cells not being responsive to insulin produced the sufficient amount of sugar is not converted.
Thus, the level of sugar in the blood goes on increasing to the level detrimental to the health of the person concerned. The test to determine level of sugar in blood is done under two different conditions. The sugar level in blood under empty stomach must not be more than 126 mg/dl, and this figure should not exceed 150 mg/dl if test done two hours after intake of glucose.
Chronic cases of diabetes give rise to serious complications, so, the blood sugar level has to be maintained within the permissible range. The causes of diabetes include unhealthy lifestyle, lack of physical activity, urbanization, and stress and strain. The pancreas produce insulin naturally in the body, and if insufficient amount of insulin is produced it has to be supplemented by intake of insulin. A healthy life style interspersed with physical activities can make a great difference under the conditions. Also, one can resort to medication to balance blood sugar level, but most of medicines available produce temporary relief and lead to harmful side effects.
Hence, one is advised to use Diabkil capsule, an herbal product to keep blood sugar level in control. The capsule acts on the root cause of the problem, and enhances production of Beta cells in pancreas responsible for production of insulin. It contains natural herbs as its ingredients that prevent absorption of sugar in blood, and enhances conversion of sugar into energy. The capsule effectively controls triglycerides and cholesterol levels, and protects kidneys, heart, and liver.
The Diabkil capsule also purifies digestive system, and enhances energy level of the body. Besides all these, the capsule effectively takes care of the side effects of diabetes such as fatigue, weakness, pruritis, polyuria, body ache, and giddiness. Thus, it helps the person concerned to lead a normal life. The capsule being a genuine herbal product produces no side effects, and is safe even for long term uses. It balances blood sugar, and it can be used by person of any age.

The shade blank is blown in a mold in which it has 4 paneled reverse painted scenes. These vertical panels have a low relief texture on the outside. The texture inside looks like a mock acid etched finish. The shade displays a very vibrant and colorful river scene with country fields, roads and trees. These are painted in 4 separate scenes. The color of the sky gives you the feeling of sunset scenes. There are deep purples, greens, and soft gold tones. The shade sits on a antique gold tone base with a raised or embossed pattern of Ivy and Berry. This base couldn't compliment the shade any better. The lamp works wonderful with a single push through socket to turn it on.
The table lamp is considered to be in excellent condition and as I really can't find any excuses for it. The condition of the shade and base is outstanding for nearly 85 years of use. You simply do not find lamps in this condition anymore. Everything is original except for the antique style gold rayon cord, even the plug is original. The shade has no chips or dings and the base shows minor wear. The lamp has no signature on it but it is a documented lamp in "The Better Electric Lamps Book of the 20's and 30's ". The shade is on page 138 but it is sitting on a different base that what I have.
Purchase with confidence as these reverse painted lamps are much more affordable than The Handel and Pairpoint lamps. They are a worthy investment that has risen steadily for the past 30 years. I'm quite sure the buyer will be very pleased with their purchase.
This lamp will have to be shipped in 2 boxes the base in one and the base in another.

A "just right" summer day, and a visit from Gramma was exactly the motivation we needed to go on a day trip to the Mount Rainier area via Crystal Mountain Resort. The new gondola ride was calling our name, reminding me of the fun Slaed and I had riding a glass bottomed car on Whistler-Blackcomb's Peak 2 Peak in British Columbia. The 4 of us could enjoy the view without all the work of hiking up the mountain.
As we walked aboard, I was curious to see how Bergen would react to the ride. I wondered if the heights would effect him. Would he get excited? Would he even notice?
For the 10 minute ride, the view had him captivated. As you can see, he loved pulling up on the bench or window, and looking down as we continued to climb higher and higher. I on the other hand, became surprisingly nervous! Especially when about half way through, our car paused, and we hung motionless. It turns out operators were just slowing down to help a car of elderly folks disembark. I wasn't prepared, but was put at ease when it was our turn to step off the gondola, and I witnessed one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen.
Though pricey, I think the experience is worth the cost, and it makes for a nice excursion with out-of-town guests. We also splurged on lunch at the Summit House, the restaurant just off the gondola, which is actually Washington's highest elevation restaurant (6,872 feet)!
Our Tips for a Good Mount Rainier Gondola Experience:
- Even if you are just going up and down on the gondola, good, sturdy shoes are a must. The terrain can be unpredictable with steep ledges and rocky paths.
- Be careful on the rocky ledges. There are not any barriers, so the slightest misstep could have you in a scary situation.
- Bring your camera and binoculars. The binoculars will help you get an even closer view and you might even spot some wildlife.
- Since we were with Slaed's mom, we decided to make it really special and have lunch at the restaurant, but to save money, pack a simple picnic and enjoy one of the most breathtaking views in the world!
More info to know:
- Cost for round trip gondola rides range from $0-$20 depending on age.
- The resort is located near Enumclaw, Washington
- 33914 Crystal Mountain Blvd.
Crystal Mountain, WA 98022
- 1-888-754-6199 or 360-663-2265
- 33914 Crystal Mountain Blvd.
- So much more summer fun to be had including: hiking, frisbee golf, horseback riding, biking, lawn games (like bean bag toss!), and of course, shopping.
Stay tuned for our hike down the mountain!

University Organization and Governance
Chancellor and Vice Chancellors
Under the direction of the president of the University of Illinois system, the chancellor of each of the three universities serves as the chief executive officer for the institution and vice president for the U of I system. The chancellors are appointed annually by the Board of Trustees on the recommendation of the president.
Reporting to the chancellor at the University of Illinois Springfield are the vice chancellor for academic affairs & provost and the vice chancellor for student affairs. As chief academic officer under the chancellor, the provost serves as chief executive officer in the absence of the chancellor. The provost is appointed annually by the Board of Trustees on recommendation of the chancellor and the president (with the advice of the campus senate).
The University of Illinois Springfield comprises three divisions: The Chancellor's Division, the Academic Affairs Division, and the Student Affairs Division.
- The Chancellor's Division is the chief executive office with responsibility for the overall administration of the university. Staff in the division coordinate public relations, community outreach, and event planning. Along with the chancellor's immediate staff, the following offices also work within this division: the Office of Access & Equal Opportunity, Public Affairs, Advancement, Campus Legal Counsel, Campus Relations, Human Resources, Campus Police, Campus Services, and Web Services. Read more about the Chancellor's Division
- The Academic Affairs Division coordinates university operations and activities surrounding the implementation and achievement of the institution's academic mission, including university planning and budgeting. Units include the four colleges (College of Business and Management, College of Education and Human Services, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and College of Public Affairs and Administration) as well as Brookens Library and the Center for State Policy and Leadership. The division also includes Academic Human Resources; Budget & Administrative Planning; Graduate Assistantships; Graduate Education; Catalog; Research & Sponsored Programs (pre- and post-award); Information Technology Services; Institutional Research; Sangamon Auditorium; Undergraduate Education; and the Center for Academic Success. Link to the Academic Affairs website
- The Student Affairs Division coordinates student life including intramural athletics, student organizations, and cultural attractions. Support services add convenience, from housing to health care to computer labs. Units within the Student Affairs Division include Admissions, Career Center, Counseling Center, Cox Children's Center, Disability Services, Financial Assistance, Food Service, Health Services, Housing & Residential Life, International Student Services, Journal Newspaper, LGBTQA Resource Office, New Student Orientation & Parent Relations, Records & Registration, Campus Recreation, Student Life, Volunteer & Civic Engagement Center, and the Women's Center. Link to the Student Affairs website
Campus Senate
The University Statutes provide for the establishment of a senate at each institution within the system. The Campus Senate is the representative, deliberative, and consultative voice of the university community on matters of educational policy. The Campus Senate may exercise legislative functions in matters of educational policy affecting the system as a whole or its own university only. No such senate action takes effect until it has been submitted to the University Senates Conference and either approved by the Board of Trustees or approved in a manner agreed to by the Board.
At UIS, the Campus Senate governance system consists of the Campus Senate and its various standing committees, and selected members of the Campus Senate who serve on the University Senates Conference.
All vice chancellors, associate vice chancellors, directors, deans, and executive officers of comparable academic, administrative, and service units who are not members of the senate have floor privileges on matters of concern to their units when such matters are before the senate for debate.
The Senate may appoint such other standing committees as the Senate shall deem necessary and proper. The Senate may also enable any ad hoc committees it deems reasonable and proper, except that no ad hoc committee will be created which will duplicate the work of a standing committee.
Faculty Advisory Committee
University statutes call for the tenured and tenure-track faculty on each campus to elect a Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC). Any member of the Faculty Advisory Committee electorate is eligible for membership on the committee except those who hold an administrative appointment.
The committee provides for the orderly voicing of suggestions for the good of the University and affords added recourse for the consideration of grievances. It also furnishes a channel for direct and concerted communication between the faculty and the administrative officers of the University, its colleges, schools, institutes, divisions, and other administrative units on matters of interest or concern to the academic staff or any member of it. The chair of the Faculty Advisory Committee participates with the provost and the chair of the Campus Senate in the appointment of faculty members to serve on Faculty Grievance Hearing Panels.
Academic Professional Advisory Committee
The Academic Professional Advisory Committee (APAC) established by University Statutes, serves in an advisory role to the chancellor and provides representation of academic professionals in governance. The functions of APAC are:
- to provide for the orderly voicing of suggestions for the good of the University;
- to furnish a channel for direct and concerted communication with administrative officers of the University and its various units;
- to facilitate the professional development of academic professionals; and
- to afford added recourse for the consideration of grievances.
APAC is composed of 10 elected members plus appointed representatives from the chancellor, provost, campus Human Resources Office, and Civil Service Advisory Council, for a total of 14. APAC holds regular monthly meetings, advises the chancellor on matters affecting academic professional staff, and reports to the chancellor and the academic professional staff at least once a year. The Committee plays an active role in administrative and governance processes on campus, as well as selecting representatives to the University Professional Personnel Advisory Committee.
Civil Service Advisory Council
The Civil Service Advisory Council (CSAC) comprises 15 members nominated and elected by civil service employees. The Council serves as an advisory group in the formation and implementation of policies and procedures relating to civil service employees. It meets monthly to study and make recommendations regarding campus conditions of employment, problems, and needs at the request of civil service employees, campus administration, or upon its own initiative
As necessary, CSAC provides representatives to the various committees that support and review campus activities. The Council appoints representatives to attend regular meetings of advisory groups, including the University of Illinois Employee Advisory Committee (UIEAC), State Universities Civil Service System Advisory Committee (SUCSAC), and State University Retirement System Member Advisory Committee (SURSMAC). The council also raises money for the staff scholarship fund.
Student Government Association
The Student Government Association is the officially recognized student organization of the University of Illinois Springfield which represents the students of UIS both in the internal and external community and acts as the instrument through which students are able to provide input into the internal policies of the University. The SGA has the authority to represent the student body through the election of Student Senators and officers.
The objective of the SGA is to promote a democratic form of student government; to provide students a forum for student issues; to offer the opportunity for leadership development in the individual, and to promote social, cultural, educational, and recreational activities for students.
Any person enrolled as a student for academic credit in any course offered under the auspices of the University of Illinois Springfield shall be automatically considered a member of the student body; except a person who is concurrently a member of the University of Illinois faculty, civil service, or administrative staff.

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
A parent or legal guardian must accompany children under age 18 to the Preoperative Clinic or the Admitting Office to provide consent for medical treatments and procedures during hospitalization. In general, the hospital cannot provide treatment without consent from a parent or legal guardian.
If your child is 18 years or older and is able, he or she can consent to treatment. If, however, a patient 18 years or older and is emotionally or mentally limited, he or she may not be able to consent to treatment, and parents will need court-ordered guardianship to consent for them. In such cases, please bring the legal papers documenting your guardianship or authority to consent to a child's care with you to the hospital. If the Massachusetts Department of Social Services (DSS) is involved with your child, contact your case worker to ask about the role of DSS in any decisions regarding the hospital experience.
All patients age 18 or older should read the Massachusetts Health Care Proxy Form. The federal Patient Self-Determination Act and the associated Massachusetts Health Care Proxy Act state that patients age 18 or older may name another person to act as an agent if they become unable to make decisions about their care. This person would be responsible for making all medical decisions, including those involving life-sustaining medical treatment, in agreement with his or her understanding of the patient's wishes. For more information about these and other hospital policies and procedures, see Patient Relations.
Boston Children's is so much more than a hospital—it's a community of researchers, clinicians, administrators, support staff, innovators, teachers, patients and families, all working together to make the impossible possible.

so that the links will not display with the default underlining at least with Internet Exporer, yet with Netscape, they are all underlined and some even seem to have thicker lines than others. What's the trick to get 'text and links without under-lines' other than using 'no decoration' or in-line style ...in at least both IE and NS??

Background: Font color:
That evening we have Quidditch practice. James has the Chasers practice just throwing the Quaffle back and forth, trying to score on Lucas. But it is a little hard to focus when the defender is so damn attractive.
James passes to me, I pass to Kimmy, she passes back to me, and I take a shot. Lucas dives, and misses.
"Nice shot," he calls. He offers a cute boyish smile as he says this. I shrug and toss my hair like it's no big deal.
We continue practicing until nightfall. "Alright, team," calls James. "You're free to go."
I dismount from my broom and Lucas does the same right next to me. "Hey," he said. "You're pretty good."
"Thanks," I say. "So are you." He really is; he saved a lot of my shots.
"Well, I'll see you around, Maddie," he says, flipping his long golden hair. What is it with me and hair?
Back in our dormitory, I brush out my long brown curls and then pull them back into a ponytail. "Hey, Lils, do you know the new Keeper?"
"Lucas Grey? Isn't he a sixth year?"
"Yes, but who cares? He's gorgeous," I say, thinking back to our hardly-a-conversation from earlier. "Besides, I'm not seventeen yet."
Lily nods. "Maddie, maybe this time you could try to actually get to know him before you go snogging him."
I pause and think about this. "But he's so cute," I whine. "Can't I just snog him, and then do that 'getting-to-know-him' thing with some other bloke?"
Lily laughs. "Suit yourself. I just think that this might be a good idea with him. You see him a lot, since you play together. It would be easy to get to know him."
"I'll think about it," I tell her.
The next evening's practice goes even better than the first.
"Okay team, tonight was a good practice," says James, in a satisfied tone. "So you can have the weekend off."
I laugh to myself. There was no way James would've made us practice when there was a Hogsmeade trip scheduled; of course he'll want to ask Lily.
As we begin flying back towards the castle, Lucas flies up beside me. "Hey, Maddie," he calls, "race ya!"
"Catch me if you can," I call back, and begin to fly as fast as I can.
We race back to the castle. We're pretty evenly matched and we get there at the same time.
"Nice job," I say, panting, climbing off of my broom.
He smiles at me. "Same to you. So, since we have the weekend off, do you want to go to Hogsmeade?" He just looks at me. "With me," he clarifies, and there's that adorable smile again.
I think for a second. I don't usually like dates. But maybe Lily's right, maybe he's different.
"Sure, Lucas," I say. "I would like that."
"Great," he says with a grin. "I'll see you tomorrow, then."
I nod and smile back.
"Oh, and one more thing," he says. "Call me Luke."
I return happily to my dorm. "Lily, guess what!" I exclaim.
"What?" she asks, looking up from the essay she's writing.
"Luke asked me to go to Hogsmeade with him," I say with a smile.
"That's great! And you said yes?" she asks, surprised.
I nod. "I know, it's weird, I actually want to go on a date."
Lily looks at me knowingly. "Maybe it's because you actually fancy him."
"Maybe," I say. "Maybe."
The next day is Saturday, the day of the Hogsmeade trip. I wake up excited and spend the next hour and a half getting ready. I shower and do my hair (long and curly as usual), put on my make-up, and then inspect myself in the mirror.
"Relax, sweetie, you look great," says Alice, who is excited to be spending the entire day with Frank. "No need to be nervous."
"Nervous? I'm not nervous," I say. Madison Lane doesn't get nervous around guys. That's not how it works.
"Oh, okay," says Alice, smiling at Lily when she thinks I'm not looking.
We head downstairs to the Entrance Hall. "Hey, Lils," I say. "What did you say when James asked you to go to Hogsmeade with him this time?"
"Nothing," she says.
"What? You ignored him? Lily, that's worse than saying no."
"No, I mean I didn't say anything because…. he didn't ask," she replies.
I stop in my tracks. "James didn't ask you," I repeat. "For the first time since third year."
"He's never passed up a chance to ask you to Hogsmeade," Alice says.
"I know," Lily replies. "Strange, isn't it?"
"Speaking of James," I say. "How have rounds been going?" If Lily had been upset when she found out James had been made Head Boy, it was nothing compared to how she'd reacted when she'd realized they were going to have to do nightly rounds together. We'd managed to calm her down, and she hasn't mentioned them since.
Lily shrugs. "Fine, actually," she says. "He hasn't been such a prat lately."
We reach the front doors where Luke is waiting.
"Hey," he says to me with a smile. "You look great."
"Thanks," I say, "you don't look so bad yourself." Okay, he looks gorgeous. He always looks gorgeous.
"Shall we go?" he asks. I nod and wave good-bye to Lily and Alice.
Moony, Prongs, and I walked down the stairs to the Entrance Hall, without Peter because he'd fallen behind in his classes (again), and needed to stay behind to do some work.
"Hey," James says to me, "is Maddie going to Hogsmeade with Lucas?"
"How would I know?" I ask. "But out of curiosity, why do you ask?"
"Well, just because I see them together over there, and it kind of looks like they're going together," he replies.
I look. He's right.
"Maybe Maddie's finally trying something new," says Moony. "Speaking of which, Prongs, have you had a change of heart? Not asking Lily to Hogsmeade, I mean."
James shrugs. "Maybe it will help," he says. "I mean, she took pretty well to the name thing. So maybe acting more…non-interested, it will make her interested." He pauses, trying to figure out if that's come out the way he intended. "Anyway, at this point, I've got nothing to lose."
We meet up with Lily, who's standing by herself since Alice has gone off with Frank.
"Hey," she says. "I just kind of realized…I'm on my own today. Can I tag along with you guys?" she asks uncertainly, and although she's mostly directing the question to Moony, whom she actually gets along very well with, it's James who answers.
"Of course you can!" he says enthusiastically, looking as though he's just won a thousand Galleons. Lily gives him a small smile.
"Everything's changing," I mutter to Moony as we walk out. "Mads is going on a date, and Lily just smiled at Prongs."
Moony just laughs.
Luke and I are walking along the street, just talking. At one point he reaches for my hand, and I let him take it. This is nice. Just talking to a guy is nice.
That doesn't mean I don't want to snog him, because I definitely do.
It's pretty cold out, so when we pass by the Three Broomsticks, Luke asks, "Do you want to get a Butterbeer?"
"Sure," I say.
We walk inside and find a table. "You sit, I'll go get them," he says with a smile.
I go find a table. I haven't been sitting for more than thirty seconds, when two people are suddenly sitting on either side of me.
"You're on a date," says James accusingly.
"Now who's getting easily attached?" says Sirius tauntingly.
"Why didn't you tell me?" James demands.
"He really is dreamy, Mads," Sirius says in a girly voice.
"Both of you, shut up and go away," I say irritably. "He's going to be back soon."
They leave, thank goodness. Luke returns with two Butterbeers.
"So, Maddie," says Luke. "I know this is a little weird to ask but…is there anything going on with you and Black?"
"What?" I ask, taken totally off guard. "Me and Black? Whatever would give you that idea?"
"Well I'd ask if there's anything going on between you and Potter, but everyone knows that he fancies Lily Evans," Luke explains. "But you hang around with Potter and his friends an awful lot, so I don't know…" he says, somewhat uncomfortably, sounding as though he wished he hadn't brought this up at all. "When it's a girl as pretty as you," he tries again, "hanging out with guys like them all the time, I just wondered-"
I cut him off by giving him a long kiss on the lips.
"Does that answer your question?" I ask.
He doesn't answer, just brings his lips to mine again.
"Whoa," says James. "I do not need to see that."
I follow his gaze, and for the second time this year see Maddie snogging. With some added touching.
"Someone should remind them that this is a public place," James continues.
"What's with you?" asks Lily. "Aren't you happy for her?"
"Sure, but I mean, it's okay to know Maddie does that stuff," James says, "but it's another thing to see it. Maddie is like my sister."
"I don't think anyone wants to see that," I add.
Moony shakes his head. "You're one to talk, Padfoot."
"Hey," I say defensively. "I always do my snogging in private places no one could ever come across!"
"Oh no, not unless the person is borrowing a school broom, looking for an empty classroom, or turning a corner," Remus says, shaking his head.
"Look, Moony, it's not my fault you've done all those things and just happened to find me in compromising positions!"
We laugh and change the subject.
Luke and I leave the Three Broomsticks. I feel a little light-headed, which is strange. I've never felt that way after snogging before.
We spend the rest of the day together, exploring the shops. He buys me a heart-shaped lollipop from Honeyduke's. We stop and kiss a couple of times.
When we return to the castle, he pulls me aside and kisses me again.
"I had a great time today," I tell him.
"Me too," he says.
I smile and say good-bye. I head up to my dormitory. When I enter, Lily and Alice practically pounce on me.
"Tell us everything!" (Alice.)
"Did you have a good time?" (Lily.)
"What did you do?" (Alice.)
"We saw you snogging in The Three Broomsticks!" (Lily.)
"One question at a time!" (Me.)
I fill them in on the date. "It was great," I say happily. "I actually didn't mind the romantic stuff for once. We held hands, we kissed…" I trail off.
"Oh my Merlin, you fancy him!" Lily squeals.
I lie back on my bed. I actually do. I can't believe it.

I want to start a new blog but am confused with WordPress.com vs WordPress.org. I want my blog to have it's own domain name, so, is it better to create a free WordPress.com blog and then upgrade to register a domain and host with them? Or create a domain at Godaddy and apply the WordPress.org stuff to it? I created a sample blog just to play around with themes and I am having a lot of trouble with the limited options. I want to be able to have control of text colour, font, background colors, menus, etc. If I upgrade to hosting with WordPress.com, don't I have to keep buying options like font and full css control? What is your opinion? Thanks for any help.
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
Wordpress.com VS WordPress.org
You can have all these on WordPress.com too. Read here: http://wordpress.com/features/
Wordpress.com vs WordPress.Org http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org
Yes, but changing fonts and managing the CSS is what I'm looking for. Those features are $30/yr, plus the domain which is $17/yr. Is it worth paying for those to keep my hosting on wordpress.com, or is it better to host elsewhere where I'll have full control of my blog?
If you're an expert in 'Codes' then you may hire a webhost with .org software. But if you want tension free blogging with 24/7 support, try wordpress.com. You can anytime move to wordpress.org from wordpress.com and vice versa.

The role of *education and support in the vocational development and recovery of young adults with psychiatric disabilities
Young adults with severe psychiatric disabilities face many significant challenges that put them at risk for being able to transition into adult roles, some of which include: high unemployment rates, the low participation in postsecondary training and education programs, and a strong probability of remaining on public assistance after high school. These young adults also have impairments in the cognitive processing of forethought, planning, and risk assessment—yet most programs do not emphasize the necessary skills and experiences. The purpose of this study is to investigate participants' experiences with education and support to identify the factors that would facilitate their vocational development and recovery. ^ This study used a mixed method research design that involved both quantitative and qualitative measures. The study involved thirty-three participants from the Jump Start program, a career development and mentoring program that matched young adults ages 16–26 with severe psychiatric disabilities with mentors who themselves have had a psychiatric disability. The central research instrument used was an open-ended semi-structured participant questionnaire. There were three quantitative measures that were used: a Demographic Inventory, the Recovery Attitudes Questionnaire (RAQ-7) and the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL). In-depth interviews were conducted with seven mentors from the Jump Start program to evaluate the mentoring relationship from their perspective. ^ The study found that many participants prefer specific and tangible learning activities that supported them in taking positive steps in their recovery. Results also showed that interaction with supports was a critical component of their vocational development and recovery. In particular supports involving place, professionals, family, staff and peers played significant roles for the participants. The research also demonstrated that the mentoring relationship made a difference in the lives of both the participants and the mentors. ^ Based on the findings, the researcher recommends three topics for further study. These include: (1) a longitudinal study with a larger sample as an examination of participants' experiences with education and supports; (2) a study designed to identify the variables, which foster young adults readiness to change their behaviors; and (3) a study that looks at what specific factors affects participants' ability to change their behaviors. ^

Boss Nigger / The Black Bounty Hunter (1975) DVD9on January 1st, 2016 at 13:07
Boss Nigger stars Fred Williamson as Boss Nigger and D'Urville Martin as Amos, two bounty hunters who come to a small town to claim the reward for a bounty, only to find that the town has no sheriff. Boss takes it upon himself to take the position of sheriff despite protests from virtually the entire town populace who don't take kindly to black folk at all, let alone ones so outspoken and independent as Boss and Amos. The mayor, Griffin (R. G. Armstrong) is especially vocal, given that he's in cahoots with the local scumbag Jed Clayton (William Smith) and his gang, who like to ride into town and take what they want every month without interference. After enforcing a series of local laws which rile the residents (of which one is a fine or jailtime for using the word 'nigger') Boss decides to hunt down Clayton and his gang.

The 2013 Assembly will reconvene on Monday February 4. Two of the bills they are considering are the Medical Marijuana Bill and the Hemp bill.
There are 18 states and the District of Columbia that currently have medical marijuana laws in place. Joining them with legislation pending are13 more,Kentucky of course, Alabama, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Vermont. As anyone can see the rush is on. Our farmers are chomping at the bit to get started.
This brings to mind two questions. What do we know about this legislation that the 18 States that have approved it might have missed, that says we shouldn't approve the medical marijuana and hemp bills?
What exactly is keeping our legislators from allowing our citizens to grab their share of a market estimated to be in the tens of billions of dollars?
As far as full legalization goes, Washington State and Colorado have this. Seeking to join them with pending legislation are Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont. Most of the states with medical bills and all with full legalization include some type of industrial hemp legislation.
I think it's time for our legislators to be politically brave and forward thinking. The Federal Government does not have the last word on this according to the Controlled Substances Act. If it did, it would have acted by now. Kentucky has the reputation for growing the best marijuana in the country and we should embrace our history. It's as though the California gold rush is just beginning and we are already at Sutters Mill but we will not allow ourselves to pan for gold while everybody else is!
If you support allowing Kentucky's citizens to enjoy the benefits of medical and industrial marijuana then beginning Monday and all thru the session till it ends in March call the Legislative hotline at 1-800-372-7181 and leave a message for all the legislators to support and pass Sb11 the Medical Marijuana bill and HB50 the Hemp/Industrial Marijuana bill. The people there are very nice and will help you with your message. You can call continually as often as you want.
Your fellow citizens realize the importance of these bills passing, not only to help our sick and disabled citizens but also to help Kentucky's economic recovery. Now is the time to act. Our State is in need of our help! Let us move ourselves forward into the 21st Century on this issue.

Spicythai Backpackers Hostel Chiang Mai Reviews
3 reviews
Friendly atmosphere Mar 23, 2011
I visited Chiang Mai in December 2010 and I stayed in this hostel for 4 nights. I had a great time here. The owners of the hostel were very helpful and nice. Any questions or concerns you have, they were willing to answer it for you. The best part is that they would invite everyone from the hostel to do group trips throughout the week. While I was there, they took us out to a local Thai boxing fight, local food market, and a night out for bowling. It was great and it was very easy to meet other travellers as well. They had private rooms as well as 6 and 8 person dorms. Rooms were clean and they have internet for free as well as a kitchen. Highly recommend this place as you will not be disappointed.

Jose Mourinho was easing into the philosophical, waxing about "being where people love him" until he was rudely cut off by ITV's unfortunate interviewer. Mourinho is not often cut off in press conferences – especially when it's the English media asking the questions – but was there any real suspense in what Mourinho was going to say if his interview hadn't been bushwhacked by beckoning commercials?
Mourinho is headed back to Chelsea. It's been a near certainty for months. Chelsea need Mourinho, and Mourinho needs Chelsea. The club has to retrieve some of the soul that has fallen away in the last few years, and was completely assassinated with the inhumane sacking of Roberto Di Matteo. Chelsea are also mindful of appeasing the fans who have revolted in the face of Rafa Benitez.
Mourinho, on the other hand, really would like to return to a place where he is loved. Constant bickering and back-biting this season at Real Madrid have taken a toll on The Special One, who seems generally worn out from an incredibly high-stress three years in the Spanish capital. Both the club and manager are in need of rejuvenation. The return of Mourinho makes sense for all parties.
The catch?
Who is going rule Chelsea? Is it going to be Mourinho or Roman Abramovich? The power struggle between two of the most egotistical men in football wrecked the pair's first marriage, and it is the single dark cloud hanging over their reunion. It's been said that the pair have buried their hatchets since their 2007 falling out, but with Chelsea in a rebuilding period in which the squad and style of the team will be turned over, who is first in charge? Who signs the players?
For instance, it has been widely reported that Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Bayer Leverkusen winger Andre Schurrle. Now, the Blues don't have a manager – Rafa Benitez surely has no say in new signings – so who wants Schurrle?
The owner makes the signings, and it doesn't matter if the manager wants the player or not. Will that fly with the dominating and controlling Mourinho at the helm?
Will Abramovich continue making demands over who plays, and decisions over the contracts and the captaincy and new players? Because that's how Abramovich operates. He's always done it that way. Sometimes it works – often times it doesn't.
Think Carlo Ancelotti wanted Fernando Torres, form already slipping away, plopped in his lap in January 2011? Think the Italian wanted Torres, with a price-tag so high and pressure so great that he had to be played over Didier Drogba, plopped in his lap with his job on the line?
It will be interesting to see what happens with Frank Lampard's contract situation. Mourinho loves Lampard, and would see him as a leader and connection to the squad. If he is completely in charge, Lamps will have a contract for life.
But the battles fought by Mourinho and Abramovich and the battles on the horizon again go way beyond who buys and sells players.
One of Abramovich's gripes with Mourinho the first time around was how direct Mourinho's teams played. Since '07, Abramovich has only become more swept away in the romantic, tiki-taka game Barcelona and Spain have so effortlessly mastered, and so, the owner has populated his team with little Brazilians and Spaniards.
But Mourinho teams don't always play pretty. Mourinho's style is power. He likes the core of his team to be made up of warriors, leaders, toughness and heart. Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and the like may have many talents, but they wouldn't be described with any of those four adjectives.
What gives? Chelsea have been sensational at times this year, but also undeniably soft in the belly. Mourinho would change that – and point to the two Champions League finalists, Bayern and Dortmund, to make the point that the days of winning football matches with character and physicality and presence have returned. Will Abramovich be satisfied if Chelsea win ugly?
Another problem last time around: While it may seem like he works exclusively on his own, Abramovich does have trusted advisors. Ron Gourley, Michael Emanulo, Bruce Buck – these guys have the owner's ear. Mourinho was irked at the influence of Frank Arnesen in his first spell at Chelsea, and it's been reported that one of the conditions of Mourinho returning to Stamford Bridge is the removal of Emenalo.
It's a power struggle. A power struggle all the way. That's the thing with Mourinho. He could run the show at any club in the world, and yet he pines for the club at which he has to battle and grapple to be top dog. The Special One is always up for a fight.
Politicking hasn't always been a strength of Mourinho's – it wore him down at Real. Take out the politics, however, and Mourinho is the best manager in the world. No one else has the gravitas, the style, the mind, the focus, the charisma, and the connection with players that Jose suavely combines.
It has been over six years since Mourinho left Chelsea. He has since won the Italian and Spanish leagues and cups, plus another Champions League trophy. The question is, how much has Mourinho matured in these six years? Will Jose be able to stay calm, and stay cool in the oven of Chelsea's backrooms?
Probably not. If he was, he wouldn't be Jose Mourinho. If Roman Abramovich was able to step back and hand over the reigns, he wouldn't be Roman Abramovich.
Mourinho is on his way back to Chelsea. The fans will greet him like a returning god – realistically, if Chelsea hired anyone else at this point, it would be a debilitating letdown. Most likely, there will be constant tension and struggle over who is captaining the ship at Stamford Bridge. It's going to be one entertaining ride.

Mangled McAfee Update Drives Windows XP Users Bonkers
Apr 22, 2010 12:11 PM PT
Things are looking bleak for McAfee after the security software company sent a bad virus definition to its users Wednesday.
The file was created to combat a new threat, but once it was distributed, it caused thousands of PCs running Windows XP Service Pack 3 worldwide to crash.
Many felt McAfee did not respond adequately to the issue. Could the fallout be more than a temporary black eye for the vendor?
McAfee' problems began when it detected a new piece of malware and its engineers crafted a response.
"In the past 24 hours, McAfee identified a new threat that impacts Windows PCs," reads an official McAfee statement provided by Heather Edell, who works for McAfee' public relations firm Red Consultancy. "Researchers worked diligently to address this threat that attacks critical Windows system executables and buries itself deep into a computer's memory."
The result was the 5958 virus definition file. This was released at 6 a.m. PST Wednesday after passing quality testing.
Once users' PCs downloaded the file, however, it triggered a false positive error. While it mainly hit PCs running Windows XP SP3, other versions of Windows were also affected, according to the Internet Storm Center.
Affected PCs enter a reboot loop and lose all network access, ISC said. The situation was made worse in large organizations, many of which use McAfee's ePolicy Orchestrator to update virus definitions across a network, because this sped up the spread of the bad file.
Affected organizations include first responders and schools. One community in northern Iowa was reportedly hit in the middle of a disaster exercise. The city and county governments had to shut down all their computer networks, including those of first responders, to contain the damage.
Sorry Isn't The Hardest Word
McAfee has made attempts to appologize to its customers and assure them it is working to fix things.
"We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our customers," Barry McPherson, executive vice president of worldwide technical support and customer service, wrote in the company's blog on the problem Wednesday.
However, some users reacted angrily to this and McPherson's second post. The bad file also kicked off a Twitterstorm of sorts, with users venting their anger through the microblogging service.
The Impact on McAfee
All that anger could lead some users, at least, to head off to a new antivirus vendor.
"This kind of problem can be a killer because it effectively shut down a large number of firms, and the resulting liability could be legendary," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, pointed out.
"They did a lot of damage to a lot of companies," Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "I was at a big multinational and even their security system was down because of this problem, and were I in their IT department, McAfee would be done."
Perhaps all is not lost. "In the short term, the company will suffer a very badly blacked eye," Charles King, principal at Pund-IT, told the E-Commerce Times. "But it could mitigate long-term damage by doing all it can to resolve the problem. Accepting responsibility, keeping efforts to correct the problem completely transparent, and doing everything you can to help clients is how I'd suggest McAfee should proceed."
Partners and Other Strangers
McAfee recently announced several new initiatives, including partnerships. One is a deal signed with Facebook in January; another is the McAfee Cloud Secure Program, which lets Software as a Service providers secure their deployments in the cloud. Amazon Web services and SaaS provider SuccessFactors are expected to be the first customers for this.
A third is a partnership with Adgregate Markets, a provider of transactional advertising and distributed commerce solutions. This will let consumers access ads and apps for online, mobile and social networks securely.
Could these be hurt by the fallout from the bad file it released?
That probably depends on the other party and the technology involved. Partners may continue to work with McAfee.
"It doesn't impact our view of our partnership because we are securing portable apps, not desktops," Henry Wong, CEO of Adgregate, told the E-Commerce Times. "We look forward to a fruitful and long-term partnership with them."
However, consumers may get turned off unless McAfee addresses the perception that it' not being transparent and open and is more interested in spin than substance. Several have complained about these issues.
"With something this major, you need to get well in front of the news and execute sharply," Enderle pointed out. "You'd have thought Toyota would have been a good example of what can happen if you don't do this right.
"Evidently McAfee' executives missed the Toyota lesson," Enderle said.

Knoxville (WVLT) - More and more folks are seeking something other than a pill to treat what ails them.
But what if who's ailing, stands on all fours?
As Volunteer TV's Stacy McCloud shows us, alternative medicine is actually most popular in the veterinarian's office!
Ah, the life of a horse. Daily grooming sessions, lots of love, and plenty of rides in the sunshine, or if preferred, a shaded arena.
"He really enjoys lengthening his strides," says Amanda Smith.
That's how "Sheik's Gold Mount", known around these parts as "Sunny", spends his non-competition days.
"He will be 12 on the 1st of August," Smith says.
For a middle aged man, in horse years that is, sunny appears to be totally healthy.
But there's more to this American Quarter Horse than meets the eye.
On top of being allergic to almost everything, "most trees, hays that are popular, grain pollens in sweet feeds, grasses, weeds."
Sunny has back problems.
"They are playing and running and stopping quickly. Dropping, rolling. All that abuse to themselves will pull those vertebras and joints out of place," Smith explains.
Allergy shots allow him to breathe easy, but the therapy for his back is far from something you may consider conventional for a horse.
"He's stiff in the shoulder. There we go." Meet Dr. Steve Adair, Sonny's chiropractor. "When I feel an area not moving properly that is where I make my adjustment at."
Sunny is one of about 600 horses Dr. Adair has treated in the six years he's specialized in this form of alternative veterinary medicine. "I go in and make an adjustment and restore the normal movement in that area and free up the nerve impulses coming from the brain and spinal cord."
You would think pushing on and standing over a 1,200 pound horse would be a little frightening, Dr. Adair says it's "a little intimidating, but not too bad."
That's because most horses find their adjustments relaxing.
"When the vertebra go back you'll see him relax, his head drops, licks his lips," Dr. Adair explains. "Alright, all done."
For the next 48 hours it's only rest and relaxation. Then, it's back, in the saddle again.
"He's just gonna live longer and be happier," Amanda says.
Sonny will be back in for another adjustment in about 6 weeks.
If you're thinking of alternative medicine for your animals, doctor. Adair says make sure their vets are trained and certified in this specialty.
