A Salina man has been found guilty of killing a Nebraska man at a Salina motel. Court officials tell KSAL News that a jury came back with a guilty verdict on Wednesday against 22-year-old DiAntre Lemmie on charges that include 1st degree murder.
A trial for Lemmie started last week, in connection with the April 2016 death of 32-year-old Adonis Loudermilk at the Starlite Motel.
First responders were called to the motel at 211E. Pacific at around 6:00 in the morning on April 26th to a report of shots fired. They found Loudermilk on the ground in the north end of the parking lot, deceased from a gunshot wound.
Police said that several shots had been fired.
Lemmie was identified as the suspect. At 8:38 in the morning he was taken into custody following a short high speed chase involving Salina Police and the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The chase was headed South on N. Santa Fe, when near the intersection with W. Lincoln, a long train crossing the street altered it. The suspect vehicle, a white full sized pickup truck, veered off the road and headed west driving parallel with the railroad tracks. After several hundred yards it became disabled in a muddy vacant lot. Lemmie then fled on foot, but was quickly caught.
A co-defendant, 25-year-old Amber Nicole Craig, previously pleaded no contest to charges that include:
- 2nd Degree Murder
- Aggravated Robbery
- Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Robbery
Prosecutors say Loudermilk was shot during a botched robbery committed by Lemmie and Craig.
Lemmie will be sentenced June 19

May 20 2012
How do you keep your data 'safe' despite a compromise?
I just spent the last two weeks in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney and the Gold Coast. It was arguably one of the best trips of my career, both from a work perspective and from a tourist perspective. Of course, I've never really been a one man traveling road show before, but it's part of the role when your job title includes the word 'evangelist'. I was more than a little humbled by some of the people I got to meet and excited by the chances I had to meet a lot of people who'd only been digital signatures up until this point. Nothing like finally putting a face to a name 8000 miles from home to make you realize how small the world really has become.
One of the more interesting conversations I found myself in was at the AusCERT Conference. The Chatham House Rule was invoked, so I can't say exactly who was involved, which is pretty convenient since I couldn't remember the names or affiliations of half the people who were in the room at the time in any case. A large number of the vendors at AusCERT got invited by representatives from the the Australian police forces to participate in open conversation and feedback. This wasn't simply a pretense to make vendors feel good, the LEO's (Law Enforcement Officer) were genuinely interested in hearing from people who worked in the business. The sad part is that after a break, only a few of the vendors came back for the second half of the conversation. Not that I had any problems speaking my mind either half of the conversation.
The question that took up most of the time was "Australia is going to put our healthcare information online, how do we keep it safe?" There were numerous suggestions, but the point that resonated with almost everyone was that the data was almost certainly already compromised and if it wasn't, it would be soon. This led to a few incredulous stares and the statement, "90% of businesses already admit to being compromised, the other 10% just won't admit it or don't know yet." Isn't it uplifting when you get 20 or so vendors in a room and every one of them tells you you're probably already compromised? Several of the comments from the LEO's gave me the impression that they had exactly the same opinion, even if they couldn't admit it in any forum that contained people without the proper security clearances.
This conversation left me wondering. How do we live in a world where we have to assume that if our data isn't already compromised, it soon will be? How do we make the data useful to the people who rely on it while denying value to the people who would want to steal it? We know we can't secure data forever, so can we give it a lifetime in some way and still continue to use it?
One of the solutions I thought about was encryption. We use it widely for the protection of credit cards, though perhaps not as widely as we really should. It's great for keeping data in motion secure if we're using short lived keys and well known algorithms. It's relatively good for dealing with data at rest, at least as long as the keys are well maintained and everyone treats the data with due diligence. Which is seldom the case, since most evidence points to compromises taking place in ways that easily circumvent encryption technologies. The best encryption in the world doesn't help much when legitimate user accounts are compromised.
We live in a world where our defenses don't seem to be working and all data will be eventually compromised by someone. We're at a stage where we can't pretend our static defenses will protect us from much except the pickers of low hanging fruit on the Internet. Whether it's a nation state actor, a chaotic actor or an out of work actor, someone wants our data; and they're going to get it eventually, since we have so many holes in our protections. Which means we have to change our way of securing the data to make it useless to anyone outside it's intended audience.
I'm not even sure what making information lose it's value outside of it's intended audience would look like. One idea is to make the information publicly available, which removes the value to an attacker, but that's probably never going to be a viable option when dealing with healthcare information. Rumors of technologies that will make data self-destruct when it's removed from it's proper environment is appealing, but I have yet to talk to anyone who's actually given any such solution a walk through. Hardware based solutions that rely upon encryption are slightly better than software, but then you have problems like vendor lock-in and longer life cycles for the technology, which really only help the vendor.
As usual, I don't have an answer for this problem. But I know that our data is leaking from where it's stored every day and the leak may soon become a deluge. Australia isn't the only country that's looking at putting their healthcare information online, and they need a solution that's going to work as well for the big corporations as it does for the single doctor clinics in the Outback. Any technology that can't be operated by a doctor who's willing to live hundreds of miles from the closest IT guy isn't going to work. And while the US might be a little different, I'm not sure we should look at the tech our doctors might use any differently.
If you have an answer to this problem, it might be the wave of the future.
One Response to "How do you keep your data 'safe' despite a compromise?"
# R. Scott McCoyon 20 May 2012 at 8:06 am
I think your estimate of how many companies know they are compromised is extremely high. I still meet far too many people that are in denial and lack the tools and people necessary to find out for sure.
The top ten Defense companies are doing the best job of protecting data in my opinion, but even they lose data occasionally. Without some revolutionary, game changing gizmo, the only two viable options I see are either to create a closed environment like a classified network, or to ramp up the capabilities of companies to the level of those big ten Defense companies. Both are expensive to create and maintain.
Losing health and privacy data is serious, but when companies lose the Intellectual Property that is really the only reason they are in business, those companies risk going out of business. A company that must work R&D into its pricing can't compete with a company that stole the data and built an identical product. When you are looking at losses on that scale, it is easier to justify not just the expense, but the inconvenience that strong security measures require.

It's Bonfire Night so how about this rocket from Scots star Adam Moffat who has lit-up the MLS with Houston Dynamo. The 26-year-old Glaswegian scored to give Dynamo a 2-0 win over Sporting Kansas City in the first leg of the Eastern Conference semi finals.
You know the saying, it never rains but it pours. And that was certainly the case for Liverpool fans yesterday. As if they weren't brassed off enough as they trailed Newcastle 1-0 at half time at Anfield.. then this happened.
Watch the footage on YouTube:
World Cup winner Marco Materazzi (@iomatrix23) is obviously proud of his theatrics in the 2006 final against France. The veteran defender - who decked it after a bizarre head-butt in the chest from French legend Zinedine Zidane - visited a newly erected 16ft bronze statue of the incident in Paris and Tweeted this photo.
Not so funny if you're Arsenal defender Andre Santos who is in hot water with his boss Arsene Wenger after he decided to swap shirts with Manchester United striker Robin van Persie at half-time in Saturday's game at Old Trafford. The Brazilian was caught on TV taking Van Persie's top as he and the former Arsenal striker walked towards the tunnel.

The Associated Press reported Wednesday that the two most looked up words in 2012 were "socialism" and "capitalism," which is mostly due to the election, according to Merriam-Webster.
Peter Sokolowski, the editor at large, said that traffic for the two words doubled this year from 2011 when the health care debate heated up and users searched for the terms "American capitalism" and "European socialism."
Some of the top 10 words included "democracy," "globalization," "marriage" and "bigot." Last year's word of the year was "austerity," which was due to many nations around the world implementing austerity budgets.
"They're words that sort of encapsulate the zeitgeist. They're words that are in the national conversation," said Sokolowski in an interview with the news organization. "The thing about an election year is it generates a huge amount of very specific interest."
The entire article can be found here.
Too bad, though, that Merriam-Webster didn't include pictures of capitalism and socialism. Indeed, capitalism would have had a photo of freedom and prosperity, while socialism would have definitely been featured with suffering and poverty.
Be sure to check out one of our blog posts highlighting a fantastic comparison between a capitalist state and a socialist country. Also, check out the video below.

Dreams of a Final Theory
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
At the most basic level of nature, maintain many physicists, lies a bedrock of reality. After decades in which one level of subatomic particles has been shown to rest on an even more elementary (if more elusive) level, we seem tantalizingly close to reaching that bedrock.
DREAMS OF A FINAL THEORY is a report from the field, written by someone who has led the way in the search. In 1979, Weinberg received a Nobel Prize for his work in unifying two basic natural forces—the weak nuclear force and electromagnetism—in a theoretical framework. The "final theory" of his title will combine these forces plus the remaining two—gravity and the strong nuclear force—in some ultimate grand design.
What might this design look like? Weinberg admits that its discovery may lie centuries away, but like any adventurous scientist he hazards a guess, backing some yet-to-be-formulated version of the new theory of strings. And what are strings? Weinberg likens them to "tiny one-dimensional rips in the smooth fabric of space." Their existence would account for such particles as gravitons—the building blocks of gravity—and many other particles as well.
Any book on modern physics is liable to present some difficulty to the ordinary reader. After all, the concept of "rips" in the "fabric" of space is a challenging one, and Weinberg acknowledges that the enormous difficulties inherent in string theory have created hostility even among fellow scientists. Fortunately Weinberg is a graceful and lucid writer, even when his subject is opaque. He expects to find great beauty in the final theory, whatever its oddity or complexity, and manages to convey an exhilarating sense of that beauty to his readers.

THE LOVE that Amber Barry had for her grandmother, who died of breast cancer last year, encouraged her to make a big sacrifice.
Amanda recently celebrated her 13th birthday and threw a big party at Tunshill Golf Club. More than 60 friends turned up, but she insisted that instead of presents they make a donation to Breast Cancer Care. The party raised a staggering £500 for the charity.
In February last year, her grandmother, Margaret Raczycki, aged 53, was given the all-clear from breast cancer. Yet, two weeks later, it had spread to her liver and within six weeks she was dead.
Shortly after her death Amber, of White Beam Close, Newhey, did a sponsored silence at Bury Grammar School and raised £70 for the breast cancer charity.
Amber's decision to give up her presents touched her mother, Mandy, who said: "I am really proud of her. I thought it was a really nice idea. Not many young people would want to give up their birthday presents."
The birthday girl herself said: "My grandmother was like a second mum to me. I used to go and see her every Saturday and sleep at her house and I used to do baking with her.
"I was confused when she became ill, I did not know how bad it was. When she died I was sad because I realised I was not going to see her again. I wasn't bothered about not getting presents, but I was a bit concerned about how many people would turn up for the party.
"When I found how much the party had raised I thought it was unbelievable. I thought I would only raise about £200. My friends were really generous and the money is going to a good cause."

It follows 17 year old twin sisters Roxy Ryan (Mary-Kate Olsen) and Jane Ryan (Ashley Olsen) over the course of one day spent in New York. They have their journey to New York. Jane goes there for presenting a speech and hopefully winning a college scholarship of Oxford. And her rebellious sister Roxy who loves singing heard that her favorite band "Simple Plan" will have a video shooting in Manhattan. So she skips the class for her demo to the group. Things get complicated when they are on their way.
Jane and Roxy's plans go wrong when a mix-up lands them in the middle of a black market music piracy scheme. The girls are chased from Chinatown to Times Square to Harlem by assassins, politicians and a truancy officer Lomax. Romantic interest comes in the form of a Senator's son Trey and a bike messenger Jim.
Jane and Roxy got on a stranger's car to New York. However, this man was going to kidnap them because Roxy got his computer chip which was related to the pirated CD by accident. Luckily, they escaped finally. But suddenly, Jane found that her dayplanner was left on the man's car. They never thought that it would cause them to get in the middle of a black market deal involving the computer chip.
They broke into a hotel's room where the dog Reinaldo ate the chip which would be used to exchange Jane's notebook. They have no choice but to take it with them. Then they came to Simple Plan's video site. There they were chased by Lomax and the kidnapper Bennie. Finally, they escaped but fell into the sewer. After a series of accidents, the two sisters had a quarrel and went their separate ways.
On the speech, Jane and Roxy made it up and the kidnapper was arrested by Lomax. Meanwhile, Jane won the scholarship. Certainly, Jane fell in love with the bike messenger Jim and Roxy with the senator's charming son Trey. Their dreams both came true finally!

End of the Year in many cultures is time to slow down and reflect the past period. In France, this reflexion started in November after the attacks in Paris which left many of us around the world wondering what our responsibility is after of such a horrific event. I'm sure many of you showed on Facebook blue, white and red profile photos, in support of the Parisian people and their families.Thank you for this.
As French and citizen of the world who wants to do good by the rest of humanity, I'm asking myself, "What can we do? What is the little I bring to the society, trying to make the world better? "
But there is one special thing we are doing here in NATEK during all those years on the market – we are mixing you, your cultures, we are giving opportunities and assisting you from different part of the world to relocate, to find new hometowns and new futures. And nothing will stop us!
NATEK will continue to connect cultures, people, to offer opportunities across Europe, to relocate people from various countries and even continents to show, that we are global and we can live together. As a company with employees coming from almost 25 countries, we recognize that it is times like these when borders and boundaries dissolve.
Wishing you and all those close to you a joyous holiday season, a new year of happiness, and hope for a world at peace.

Well I had my Geology test today. It was fairly easy except the professor purposely put questions on there that make people question their own answer. I probably did alright on it though, so I don't care. The one thing that really makes me angry is when people cheat off me. They just blatantly cheat off of me. I hate that! So what did I do? I put down the wrong answers, then I let him finish his test and I went back and redid it. =)
This Saturday is 'Take a Kid to the Game' day. Basically, all of the fraternities and sirorities have their members take a kid to the football game. So I get to take a 3rd grader to the OSU game, sounds like tons of fun eh?
Then the 16th is the Kalf Fry! That will be pretty cool… Willie Nelson and Cross Canadian Ragweed will be here. And then we get to try our stuff against UT.

HEY, when even Alan Alda decides it's not worth giving up a Sunday night to go to the Emmys, you know things aren't going well.
Alda won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama, but let someone else pick up the gold. Too bad the rest of us had to hang in there for what was largely a snoozefest.
Fortunately for viewers it didn't run over, with the final award for Outstanding Drama going to "24" at five before the hour.
"We'll make this quick," Joel Surnow said in accepting the award — and in keeping with the let's-get-out-of-hereearly mentality.
Much like a first date, we always hope that things will be better. But most of the time, we're disappointed.
Conan O'Brien worked the heck out of the opening, making us believe that this indeed might be worthy of our time. He tweaked the academy for not even nominating last year's Outstanding Drama series "Lost" by doing a bit where he crash lands on a desert island in a plane. When "Lost" character Hurley stumbles upon him, they both go to the hatch. O'Brien asks him to come instead.
"Dude, we weren't exactly invited," Hurley says sadly before O'Brien pops the hatch and lands in "The Office."
O'Brien b-slapped everyone from Tom Cruise to his own network, ending with a jaunty little musical number proclaiming ratings cellar-dweller NBC's got "Trouble and that starts with a T, that rhymes with 'Gee, we're screwed.'"
The banter between the presenters was downright pathetic. What the show needed was a little improv. You know you aren't going to get Madonna smooching Brit like on the MTV awards, but it was nice to see Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert at least seeming to deviate from the script.
Stewart played straight man, sheepishly reading the blah text about the award for reality show programming while Colbert riffed about "godless sodomites" in Hollywood.
"(Reality shows) warp the minds of children and weaken the resolve of our allies — kneel before your god, Babylon. Golden Idol to worship," Colbert says, before sputtering out. "I lost to Barry Manilow. Barry Manilow!"
While Colbert's show lost to Manilow, "Amazing Race" once again kicked "American Idol" in the trousers to pick up the Outstanding Reality Show trophy, or "Golden Idol" as Colbert would say.
All said, it wasn't a total waste of time. With nothing much else to watch on Sunday night, the Emmys proved to be slightly amusing and at times touching. Dick Clark, still recovering from his stroke, was honored. Although it was no Kirk Douglas barn burner, it was still poignant. And what fun to see the "Charlie's Angels" girls back together in a teary tribute to the late TV fantasy creator Aaron Spelling, even if Kate Jackson did hog the microphone from Jaclyn Smith, who still has that classic beauty, and Farrah Fawcett, who looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet.
We'd give you the Emmy tote board, including last weekend's creative Emmys, but no one really gives a flying Frito. We will tell you it was a bit of shock to see "The Office" shut out of its major categories, only to bounce back to win for Outstanding Comedy. And while we know that "House" and "Grey's Anatomy" are better shows, you have to hand it to Outstanding Drama winner "24" for taking an outrageous concept and making it work year after year.
Here are a few of the better moments during the acceptance speeches:
– "My Name is Earl" creator Greg Garcia, who won the comedy writing category, "no thanked" people, like his eighth-grade social studies teacher who "told me to shut up because I wasn't funny." And to a producer from his first job on "Step By Step," a big "No, thanks," for having to clean the gum off the bottom of his shoe. And to God, who he should thank, but "You took my hair, and that is not cool man. Not cool."
– Julia Louis-Dreyfus for Outstanding Lead Actress, Comedy, has been trying to live down the "Seinfeld" curse about no one from the show ever getting another good show. "I'm not much for curses, but I'll say 'Curse this, baby!'"
– Helen Mirren, who won for her acting in the HBO miniseries "Elizabeth I," stumbled up on stage and said something about a trip, which sounded like a slang term for a breast. She complained about her shoes, then gave a moving speech about more roles for older actresses. Then promptly said she was "taking off these bloody shoes."
– Mariska Hargitay, who won for Outstanding Lead Actress, Drama, thanked her father, former wrestler Mickey Hargitay, who raised her and her siblings after their mother, Jayne Mansfield, was killed in a car accident.
– Keifer Sutherland, who won for Outstanding Lead Actor, looked at dad Donald (who was nominated for an Emmy for the miniseries "Trafficking) and said, "We're going to have to have dinner now." And special thanks went out to Sarah, Keifer's daughter.
– Tony Shaloub, who won for Outstanding Comedy Actor for "Monk," said, "You've made a terrible mistake." He was right. It should have gone to Steve Carell of "The Office."

However, as they realize those cost advantages, they see that quality is rising because benchmarks are being applied to their perfomance. in the end, the report concludes, companies could see control was improving, too."

We're very happy with the service PABS provides to us. For smaller businesses like ours, it makes sense to outsource the bookkeeping. It frees up resources so we can focus on what we do best.
As grocery store operators, we have large numbers of vendors and invoices. PABS does a great job helping me manage my accounts payable.
After nearly three years working with Pacific Accounting & Business Services, we at Midas Hawaii can say that the team at PABS has our interests top of mind.
I have been working with the PABS team for three years now. I have been extremely satisfied with their services.
HHIE is a 501(c) (3) and in September of 2009 was designated by the State to develop and implement a statewide health information exchange that will ultimately feed into the national health information network.
We were having a hard time finding good help. It seemed all the people we hired left after a year or so and we were constantly retraining.
oining PABS has allowed me time to focus on our core business. The services they provide are affordable, dependable, and efficient.
Jim and his team from PABS really came to our rescue. We found ourselves shorthanded in accounting and they quickly and efficiently took over the accounts payable processing task.

Anyone else secretly (ok, not so secretly) glad summer is over? Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of summer, but somehow, it's just not as exciting when you're a working adult. It's like – look, here are all these fun activities that you can only do these 3 months a year! Beaches and bar crawls! Cookouts! Beers on patios! Except… there's laundry. And the gym. And bills and chores and cleaning to do. Let's not dive deeper into the Boston humidity in July. So that wonderful, fanciful idea of summer turns into just an idea.
Not to say I didn't have a good summer – I did! (Clearly, because I haven't been around here much ?) Highlights include a great weekend up in Plum Island, MA, another long weekend in Portsmouth, NH, a Red Sox game, many brunches with family and friends – and you better believe a whole lot of good food. Some day, we'll have to make it back up to Burlington, VT – we're very skilled in that both Randall and I managed to get sick the one week we took vacation. Yes, in the middle of August. Pretty naturally gifted if I do say so myself….

People might tell you that it's totally natural and it is all part of being a woman, but you just know the truth. Once you hit the menopause, you feel like it's hell on earth.
From growing hair on your chin to gaining a few extra pounds, and this is possibly the worst time of your life.
Here are a few things you will definitely get!
1.You start to cry for nothing specific
All those hormones rushing through your body are causing you to cry at basically anything.
2. You will find hair in the most random places
It is not strange to start finding hair on your chin, because for some silly reason, the menopause makes you grow hair in the most ridiculous places.
3. Sleeping at night appears impossible
Menopause insomnia is a real thing and it is horrible. Everyone else has gone to sleep, but you are still awake. You lie in the bed wondering why you are so hot and why you just can't sleep.
4. You want chocolate, all of it
All you can think about now is eating all the chocolate in the world. You find yourself imagining about it all the time.

Dear Lujan,
The last few nights I have been experiencing some nightly attacks, but it's not only me but also the mother of my daughter, my mom and some other people I know.
The first night I was awake and it was energies in my room trying to get into my body, but I remained calm, remembering your words, just let it come and pay it little attention. I did try to keep it from going into my body.
The second time I half woke up in a dream because somebody was fixating his gaze on me, who had glowing eyes. Then something went into my body, though I remained calm also this time. And I let out a burst of love, once, and then a second time.
I wanted to speak but couldn't, then with huge effort and stamping my foot a bubble came out from my mouth and popped and I was chanting like a Tibetan monk, through which my body started to release a black shadowy vapor.
My mom and Cat are being physically pushed and hearing screams; something I experienced for about a week, a month or so ago..
I know that by relating this to you I am making it more substantial than it should be, but I was wondering why it is happening with so many people and is it something that I can keep ignoring and just put the knife under my door, or do I have to do something else?
Thank you,
Warm regards,
Thomas Portier.
At this present time in our history there is a possibility for humanity to awaken. The energy you speak of is like a barrier to accomplishing the goals of higher consciousness.
The reason why I mentioned not to pay too much attention is because that fixation within itself – as you have already said – draws the strength of these residues towards one's awareness by virtue of the fact that they are latent and within their dormancy arise when great change is about to occur.
When you release the bubble of perception that became the chanting of a monk, this is part of your past. An inter-dimensional aspect of yourself. A timeline that is either finished or still operational.
But I know for certain that the black vapor is something that many Tibetan monks possess when they are under duress. They have a protective mechanism that has consciousness that appears as a black vaporous substance. It will activate itself to protect you when you are threatened. The reason I know this is because it has occurred with me as well. This substance also can be operational as far as it becoming auditorially active.
By engaging in the Golden Lotus, any powers that you may possess will come to your defense. Nevertheless the Golden Lotus has embedded within it the Fibonacci principle. This coiling motion, which mimics figure eights or the outline of a butterfly or moth, will enter the body through your practice as luminous etheric threads of light and will bless your bio-field and expel everything in opposition to its settling and grounding you in peace and happiness.
Just keep practicing the Lotus. Throw salt around your house. This locks evil out but unfortunately locks evil in as well. If it is not coming from within you will know immediately because there will be a lull. But if the disruption is coming from within the bio-fields of those you accompany it is their residue that needs to be observed in terms of their connections and this lifetime's activity and what they have accrued.
It is not possible for bad to follow inter-dimensionally or through any timelines. Karma is a factor that has to do with intentions within one's present lifetime. Good can come but ill intent is always blocked from entering.
So be at ease and advise your family to adjust their internal intentions and present-day feelings toward constructive and positive interactions so as to halt the cascade.
The black viscous substance is something that you have inherited. It may only appear once or twice. Most times only once. If it does not dissolve the present circumstance through its power then you must practice neutrality in the midst of all that confronts you.
As for the knife under the door, when it is pointing outwards it will protect you from present-day human intention.
Even though I have given extensive answers to your questions they are not really complete enough, for the sphere of your perception demands your watchful eye and there you step forward, not knowing how to proceed until you are pushed to act.
I wish you well.

I know of a broker who can help you shop for a good plan
his name is Robert Johnson ###-###-####. He's really good.
My son will be turning 21 soon, is no longer a full time student, does not have a full time job, as of yet, and will no longer have health insurance. Does anyone know of a health coverage I can get him on a month to month basis until his current situation changes? I don't know how long or short of a time he may need it. He is looking at going to a trade or tech school so will not have a full time job with possible insurance until he is through with his training. Thanks for the help.
I know of a broker who can help you shop for a good plan
his name is Robert Johnson ###-###-####. He's really good.
I know that BCBSIL has a temporary policy he can purchase for up to six months, and I think you can even purchase it twice, so coverage could extend for a year. It's pretty reasonably priced too, since you can choose your coverage level, etc. Or talk to your HR department about your COBRA options if he is currently under your insurance. Best of luck!
PS, the website you'll want to check out is www.bcbsil.org I think.
Call any independent insurance agency. They should have several companies they can get multiple quotes for you to choose from.
If you'd like a name and number of an agent I can get you one. PM me anytime.
I would type in short term insurance or temporary insurance on the computer. It is affordable, and they take pretty much everyone. My husband has it right now. It is a 6 month policy. We had a 500.00 deductible and then it was covered at 100%.
Good luck
My daughter signed up for ALL KIDS. You could try that. It coveres her nad her 9 yr old. Not sure about adult children. I wish you luck,
Have him check with the schools he is looking at. Many times they will offer basic student coverage while they are enrolled a certain number of hours.
Starbucks is another job that offers great benefits for working part time hours.
Hi. My sons are older, 30 and 26 and yes, it never stops. I'd say hurry and get a job. I think even UPS - part time - gives insurance, but not sure. County hospitals, however dreadful that is, take patients without insurance I think. The reality for your son is that the world in the United States demands that he take care of himself now. We know it isn't the reality in our lives for most. I feel your dread as I have lived it. Other than these thoughts I am not sure what you can do. It is good to put the responsiblity on him though. It will help him grow.
Blue Cross Blue Shield has a plan for him. My 23 year old nepehew is covered by them. Go to www.bcbsil.com for more information.
We use the Dan Borowiak Insurance Agency, which is a broker that uses only A+ rated companies. We're very happy with the service, and they helped us shop the best rates. You can reach Dan Borowiak at ###-###-####. He'll take good care of you!
I work for the company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Cross Blue Shield that handles all of the individual policies for Illinois. BCBS of Illinois offers a temp policy that you can get for 1 to 6 months in length. It can even be extended. Usually the application process for a temp policy is much quicker than the regular process time for a permanent individual policy. Have him or yourself call the following phone number and tell them you are interested in a temp policy and they will give you details about the different plan coverages, etc. with the temp policies. I would not suggest going through an agency and/or the internet (searching for a policy) because agencies work for commission and the internet searches will only invoke a ton of unnecessary phone calls. You can go to www.bcbsil.com and get quotes also and even apply online. The toll free number to call is 800-654-7385. Please understand that I am not trying to push BCBS because I work there (I don't get a commission or anything like that. I am just a customer service rep). I just think BCBS is a great company with great insurance. Hope this helps.
I ditto what Marian S. says, but I probably wouldn't chose my words so wisely. Stop enabling him and let him take on responsibility for his life, school, job, and insurance. Where there is a will there is a way.
I see that you have got enough responses, but thought I would give one more. I work for an agent, Tom Kenney, in Naperville. We offer a number of short term and long term plans. The phone is ###-###-####. Tom will take his time to explain everything and help you decide which would be best for your son.

Chicago, Illinois, United States
|The idea of life is to give and receive. -Dizzy Gillespie
This memorial website was created in memory of Marc Mendelson. Please see below to support the memory or Marc, or leave a tribute comment about him.
As many of us know, Marc was a generous person who believed strongly in helping others. Rather than flowers, the family requests honoring Marc's memory with donations to charities or causes that are dear to you. We've suggested a few below that represent things Marc supported.
Jazz Bakery
A nonprofit jazz venue that supports jazz musicians and the unique American legacy of jazz.
Doctors Without Borders
A nonprofit organization that supports medical humanitarian emergencies.
Piece By Piece
A nonprofit arts program supporting residents of Skid Row and South Los Angeles.
Alex Mendelson's Education Fund
"Hey Bro. I love you and miss you even more than a year ago. .hope to see you again even tho another dimension. Love always, your sister."
"Happy Birthday Marc!"
""When Tragedies Befall our Lives, Pain Spawns a Million Tears. May Your Teardrops Form a Flood of Faith to Float Away Your Deepest Fears."
We love you Dawn, all the best to you and your dear son, Alex."
"Ed will live forever in my heart as we were so close as kids. Such a tragic loss and we are all still in shock. My prayers go out to you Dawn and Alex. I know he was a wonderful husband and father. I only have 2 cousins and although Ed and I do not keep in touch in adulthood as life, geography and etc. get in the way, I still feel like a part of me has left this earth. Nanny, Deb and Rachel I am hurting for as well. So many memories. Love you Ed,
"How sad I feel learning of the sudden passing of Marc. Marc was one of the most gentle souls I have ever encountered. My sympathy to you Dawn and Alex at this difficult time. I know you have so many wonderful memories which will keep Marc alive in your hearts forever."
"Dawn and Alex,
Marc was the truest friend I've ever had. Always ready to lend a hand, he was kind, generous and creative, and we shared a lasting love for design and horses. Ian and I were so shocked and saddened to hear about his sudden passing and we send our love and prayers to you."
"Tammy and I want to express our heartfelt sympathy to you and Alex. He will always be remembered as a gentle and kind cousin to us. May his memory be a source strength and guidance to both of you. Tammy and Gene Mendelson"
"What a kind, gentle, generous spirit, loving husband and father. Always attentive, always giving, always thoughtful.
Filled with unique charm and integrity, Marc touched my life with his genuine presence.
I feel very grateful to know him and will carry and honor his life in my heart."
"Marc... always making it easy for us...
He had a smooth and calm way about him, but we always appreciated Marc's print orders to us because he went out of his way to make it easy for us to do business with him. As a business owner, it is natural to go out of your way to take care of the client, but Marc always took care of his client and took care of us as a supplier/vendor. I'm going to do more of that myself from now on. Thank Marc - we miss you and God bless your family and friends"
"We worked with Marc and his demeanor was always calming. It's not something you see often in the hustle and bustle of todays technology. I pray that your family find peace in knowing that his quiet spirit ministered to those around him. :)"
"I had the opportunity to meet Marc at 2 of Dawns classes in Brea.. Like Dawn he was sweet, kind, caring, giving and touched me for the short time I knew him..we are so saddened to lose this wonderful person at such a young age. All that he did in giving to others had and will continue to have a large impact on many many people .. A true inspiration."
"Dawn - Just heartbroken for you and your family to learn of this tragedy. I hope it is some comfort to feel the love and support of all those whose lives you both have touched."
"Dawn, Alex, and family,
I was saddened to hear that your husband passed away. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time."
"I remember the first time I met Marc...so tall, handsome and gentle. But, it was more than his good looks that captivated me and others.He was genuine. Marc had such a good soul and very kind heart. There was also something about him that always made me think he was extraordinarily perceptive as if he could read people. I loved the way he loved his family and was always so proud. Marc will be missed forever, but his beautiful legacy lives on in both of you, Dawn and Alex. You embody the same values,spirit, kindness and devotion to friends and family. Sending much love and hugs during this difficult time. Marc will be in our hearts forever. xoxo"
"Dear Dawn,
In our church we say "Christ is Risen" knowing that Marc is going to a better place.
I pray that God gives you the strength in this hard time... We love you.
May he rest in Peace.
"I only had the opportunity to meet a few times and the last was very recently when I met Marc to drop off donations. I insisted repeatedly on helping to bring the treasures inside and he insisted that was okay..he would later. I drove away thinking..well no wonder why Dawn and Marc are together..they have the exact same selfless vibe about them. The same kind peaceful nature. So much love and support being sent to you Dawn and Alex. What a wonderful and lasting impression he left on us all."
"During our road trips to San Diego I got a glimpse of what a wonderful man, husband and father Marc was from the loving and funny stories Dawn shared. There are no words that seem sufficient to express how heart sick I feel for the sudden loss of your dear husband. His spirit will live on in your heart, in the people he has helped with his donation and in the son you two created. Love and Light to Dawn & Alex."
"Dawn & Family~
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. May the comfort of friends and family be your strength now and in the days ahead. May time and love bring you peace."
"I can't remember any time when Mark wasn't a pleasure to be around. He was a vary special person kind, positive, caring and giving. Always relaxed and amazingly comfortable in his own skin. The sun was always shining around him. More like a close family member to me. A design that he made for me that I liked so much I had it tattooed on my back. Mark you will be missed but never forgotten. Angelo"
"I have only had the pleasure of spending time with Marc on a few occasions and they always left me hoping to get more. But I feel like I know him through his sense of humor. Dawn is always telling me stories about the laughter and love in their home. Just the silly, inside jokes and small things that make a great marriage and a wonderful family. I am so grateful to know the Mendelson family and deeply saddened by their loss. My love to you both always. - Julie"
"I'm so sorry for your loss ..... words can't begin to convey what you are feeling, but know that prayers are being said for you & your family. May your memories bring you comfort!"
"I will be forever grateful for the wonderful evening I spent with you and Marc just a few short weeks ago. Even tho have not been involved in the active part of your lives together, I know how special he was to his family and his friends. A gentle man with a gentle spirit that touched many. Keep that spirit in your heart and your soul and he will be with you forever.
Love, Aunt Carol"
"You are so loved and admired - it's forever."
"Marc Mendelson, magical man whose quiet and profound competence never failed to silently sail into place at just the right moment and with just the right solution. Soft spoken and understated, Marc's words landed so softly that I would look into his face to see if he had really spoken or I was imagining it. The wisp of a smile assured me his observation was keen, his analysis acute and his amusement was great. A gentleman, kind and considerate, a father, proud, devoted and determined, and a thoughtful husband who adored his beloved wife and made the world a better place with his presence. Marc Mendelson, you will be deeply missed by all who've known you."
"We feel very grateful to have known Marc. He taught us a lot and was a kind, generous friend. He had a capacity or forgive like no one else we've met. We'll remember our last visit with him in the Sierras very fondly.
Thank you to his mom who brought him into this world.
We are so very sorry for the loss felt by his family. We're wishing you peace in the days ahead for everyone.
ilona and sandy"
"In my daughter, Sofie's words, "Marc was one of the nicest men I've ever met and he seemed like the best dad." I couldn't agree more. Marc's kindness and gentle soul was always at the forefront of his being. It was a blessing to have known him. The last memory I have of him will be treasured forever. It was such a small moment, just a few kind words that he said to me that made me feel good. That was Marc."
"Dawn and Alex ,
Sorry to hear about Marc's passing. I'll miss seeing him and saying hello everyday as he walks passed the salon. I remember days of past when you and Marc first moved into the neighborhood. The two of you getting married, and the birth of Alex. The BBQ's on the holidays. Fireworks on the 4th of July. Watching Alex grow into a young man. May God watch over the both of you and Marc's spirit. G Michael Van Ark @ Off Broadway Hair Design,"
"Dawn, Alex and family,
We were saddened to hear of Marc's unexpected passing. Remember the good times and what a wonderful man, husband and father Marc was. Being your neighbors these past years have been grand for us."
"I cared deeply for Marc and am immensely saddened by his sudden passing.
I met him through my friendship with Dawn but it soon segued into him volunteering for our nonprofit arts space. That was Marc; he always stepped forward in his wonderful, caring way. On an on-going basis he designed all our invitations. That was no small feat as we had continuous exhibitions and special events. It was time consuming but Marc always happily approached each of my requests. Through this process I got to know him better. His humor, and he was VERY funny, came through his quietness. I knew I could always count on him. He was responsible. He was a beautiful artist. He was sweet and caring. He was joyful. I loved his quick smile. It made me feel good just being around him.
I also discovered what an amazing parent he was and how much he loved Dawn and Alex. In today's world it is easy to get caught up in its busyness. But Marc had his priorities straight. Being there, and for, his family was number one. I remember going to one of Alex's concerts and Marc was there, beaming. Really beaming. He was so proud of Alex.
I will miss Marc. He was a gift to my life."
"All my thoughts and love are with you."
"Dearest Dawn & Alex,
I have so many memories of your Marc. The BBQ's on the front lawn for 4th of July, Marc making all the chicken , hot dogs & burgers, wearing a chef's apron and a big broad smile. Martinis at Catalina's jazz club, in LA. Marc hep-cat bopping to the bands. NYC, Marc never slept, just ran around the city with that big smile and a glint in his eye, taking in the city's magic. He got us a room at the Hilton when I got engaged! You guys were both standing with me as I got married on a cliff in Laguna & danced with me on the Queen Mary at the reception. Marc served spaghetti dinner when I cried my heart out to you, Dawn, and it made me feel better to have such loving pals. There will never be another gentleman the likes of Marc. RIP."
"Dawn, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family"
"I never met Marc, but from the tributes and life story, I can tell that he was a perfect match for you, Dawn. A big hug your way."
"The couple of times I met Marc are very present with me. Once in your home when I visited Piece by Piece and when you were speaking at the SAMA conference in San Diego. Both times his warmth, energy and love for you, Dawn, were evident and a blessing to witness. Praying for you and Alex and your family. Much love."
"Dawn, Alex and family~
Marc was such a true gentle-man. Always kind and a wonderful spirit. His love for his family was quite evident. His donor gift allows that spirit to live on in very special ways. Sending you loving energy and continued candlelight prayers."
"We are so grateful for the tremendous support from our friends and family. Thank you, everyone."

277. Is he saying fagits twodope and silent gay Or faggy twodope and sielnt gay Which would make morr sense, becausr its shaggy 2dope, and faggy twodope would be structurally correct Whereas faghits twodope and silemt gay already implies they are gay, with silent gay merely instating a 'double gay' clause Plus faggie twodope sounds funnier
261. -You know why? You can't outgrief a griefer. I've been in this game since 2004. I've been on the internet since 1984. -Wow. -My first computer was a Timex Sinclair.

251. Idea for a semi-autobiographical mini-comic: Story of a wedding djay who has to play The Proclaimers' "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", each time confronting him with different details of when his father periodically molested him to it as a child.
250. Idea for a short documentary film: A humble sixty year old widowed antiques expert, whose insolent children have estranged him, documents his journey of getting a tattoo sleeve as per the instructions of casting agents for an antiques-based reality programme seeking to make him eccentric enough for television.
243. He walks around with a headband - who wears a fucking headband - and a constant grin on his face like this. He was a wanker as a Jew, now he's a moron-wanker because he gives ten percent of everything he earns to them*! *The Church of Scientology
237. Mid-twenties American girl arrives at the end of a dinner party. She asks if she can have some of the leftover penne pasta on the table and, standing, takes some out of the bowl with her right hand and eats it. Leaving one penne between her index and middle finger like a cigarette, she lowers her right hand to waist height and initiates a non-penne-related anecdote. When asked whether she would like some leftover meatballs, penne is discarded atop firewood.
228. Oh I meant to tell you yesterday, I might have said the funniest thing I've ever said in my life, or at least in the last two months. My friend drank some coke and started choking. He then said, "That went down the wrong hole." and I said, "What? Your butt hole?" I started tearing and laughed for thirty minutes.

Recently, one of my students called me from Pennsylvania, where she was participating in a writers' conference. She went to pitch a chapter book she had been working on in my Words in Play workshops. I was the first person she called with the news that a publisher wanted to buy her book. Now, this was great, but what makes it even greater is that this woman joined my workshops about two and a half years ago, and in that short span of time she has completed the manuscript for this chapter book, written parts of another chapter book to be in the series, written an outline and several chapters for a full length novel, published several magazine articles online and in print, published several poems, and started her own blog.
The point I'm trying to make is that she almost didn't write any of it. She wanted to write; she just didn't know how to get the stories out of her head and onto the page.
That's where the writing workshop comes in. This dear person, I'll call her "Z," joined the group with as much hesitancy as anyone could have and still show up. The writer's workshop was a place where she could feel safe to share her ideas, play with new ideas, and receive the constructive feedback she needed to make real progress. Her stories took shape in every class. She learned that the support of a committed group of writers is more important than knowing where or how to begin.
Begin anywhere. Stories are made up of a mosaic of scenes. If you create one scene, it's a beginning, but it doesn't mean you can't move that scene to the middle. I'm sure you've heard this before: writing is 90% discipline – you've got to write every day. I do know that if you don't have support (a cheering section, critical feedback, ways to generate new ideas, proper guidance) you can have all the discipline in the world, but you may never get out the door to roadtest your work.
Begin anywhere, but if you have stories inside you, find a great group of like-minded writers and just begin. It's the best advice I can give.

The "3D Map Generator - GEO" is especially created for illustrating complex geographical 3D maps. In opposite to the current "3D Map Generator 2" the new "3D Map Generator - GEO" can be used to create 3D maps with much smaller map scales.
With a few clicks it is possible to generate isometric 3D maps in 3 different orientations with heights and depths in the terrain. As basic shapes there can be used text layers, vector shapes, Smart Objects or one of 52 vector country* shapes. For designing the map there are different new tools, textures, effects, brushes and 37 icons and elements available. The generated 3D maps can be edited and redesigned for unlimited times. No layers will be flattened. Of course it is also possible to put own textures onto the surface and to use own brushes, effects, icons or other elements.

and inastll it to the same place as the kernel that boots is installed ... just to rule out either one thing or the other!( that it is a grub thing or a borked kernel thing! or visaversa)~Mike ~~~ Forum Rules
Testing? What's that? If it compiles, it is good, if it boots up, it is perfect. ~ Linus Torvalds

2.6.10-ac11 works for me on Sarge
2.6.10-ac11 works on sarge.. I originally had problems (?) with 2.6.10, and decided to try -ac11 (Alan Cox's extras) since I had to rebuild it again regardless. Boots and runs nicely here.
Pity there's no "attach a file" option on this BBS, or I'd provide the .config file that I used. Basically, I just forced it to compile all of the IDE stuff into the kernel, rather than as modules. Ditto for the ext2/ext3 filesystem code.

Hi ! I had exactly the same problem and use grub with the kernel 2.6.10 on a Debian Woody (3.0r4) and don't use the initrd file.
I'm using only ext2 for my FS.
I had compiled many times this kernel and always the same error.
But, .... I have been found the solution.
You must check :
Devices Drivers\Block Devices : "Support for Large Block Devices"
Devices Drivers\ATA/ATAPI...\ :
- Enhanced ...
- Include IDE/ATA-2...
- Include IDE/ATAPI...
- generic/default IDE chipset...
File systems : all your filesystems "ext2, ext3"
Good luck
If you have some problems you can meet me on MSN

I made a video! It's a hair video. A five minute messy waves hair video. Did I mention it's a video?
Everyone loves quick hairstyles , so I figured I would record a little tutorial for you all and show you how I've been doing mine. Even with my ridiculous amount of hair it only takes me five minutes, so it's pretty quick. Anywho, let's watch the tutorial. I'll list all the products and links under the video box.

[…] BUMBLE & BUMBLE SURF INFUSION SPRAY // I did a tutorial on how I get five minute beach waves with this stuff, and that is my go-to move for tropical vacations. It doesn't take long…we've all been that chick in the hotel with everyone waiting for her to finish getting ready and that ain't fun. So a five minute style is perfect. it also isn't super structured and fussy so if it's a little humid and it gets frizzy or falls flat then nobody will really notice. The surf infusion spray is key though, it gives just the right balance of grit and shine. You can watch the tutorial HERE. […]

Franky Vercauteren Pays Price For Boardroom Errors
News of Krylia Sovetov manager Frank "Franky" Vercauteren leaving the club came as no surprise given his publicly-known frustration with life at the club as they struggle at the bottom of the Premier League. However, the Belgian found himself on the end of a sacking rather than being allowed to leave on his own terms. Although Krylia are in a spot of bother right now, it is important to remember where they were when Vercauteren took over. Before the Belgian arrived in Samara, Krylia had … [Read more...]

To Blog Tour or Not to Blog Tour
I recently completed my first blog tour and was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was. I met a bunch of new readers who were all incredibly welcoming to a new author. I also had lovely blog hosts who were all tremendously supportive. Two hosts even reviewed my book (thank you Long and Short Reviews and Beyond My Writing Space).
There are many types of tours an author can choose to participate and many companies offering to help. An author can select daily blog posts, to book blurb blitzes, to Q&As. I opted for the Q&A type because it's hard to find the time to write a blog post for every day of the tour and I wanted to keep some semblance of control over the content. I was terrified a host would assign me a topic that I had nothing intelligent to say.
Of course, I'm out there selling my wares, in this case my latest release Unexpectedly You, so I included an excerpt to hopefully incite even just one reader to purchase. Like many authors, I included a prize for following my tour and commenting each day. I gave daily prizes and a grand prize at the end of the tour. It was a lot of work, but was it really worth it? Did I see a jump in sales? Why, yes I did! I made it to Carina Press' bestseller list for an entire day. Woot! But that's not the real reason I think it's worth it.
I used the blog tour as an informal reader survey to learn about my potential audience. I asked readers the question: What would make you try a new author? Here's a quote from Chelsea B. and is consistent with the other responses I received across the different stops.
"I read a lot of blogs, so definitely reviews that point out things I enjoy in a novel. A good blurb, also. If I see a book in a store by an author I've never read, the blurb is what's going to suck me in!"
So, blogs tours, reviews and a good blurb will take you a long way in building your audience. And for that knowledge, I would definitely embark on future tours. Keep an eye out in the coming weeks.
Have you found a new favorite author from following a blog tour?

text: Since I am computer illiterate I cannot post a link and I think that with the log in used by the telegraph it won't work anyway. But they have run a story yesterday and today about "Teflon Billy Slater" how he appears to do things and never get cited after SOO 2 and the elbow to Maloney. I can think of several occasions where 'Teflon Billy' was never cited. It'll be interesting to see what happens over the next couple of weeks.

Since I quit working outside of the home, one of the things I've had to cut back on is cosmetics. I used to be a BeautiControl consultant, but I've been on a mission recently to find some good drug store makeup.
The jury is still out on foundations {I've been trying some different ones out and haven't decided which I like best}, but I've officially found a concealer that I love, so I thought I'd pass it along to you!
Here's the thing. When it comes to concealer, I like something that is lightweight, yet provides enough coverage for underneath my eyes. {I may be in my 30's, but I need some help with dark circles}. It's a delicate balance, really.
I love this concealer because I feel like it's the perfect combination – it is heavier than a liquid, but light enough that it doesn't look too heavy when I put foundation on over top of it. Even if I don't wear any other makeup, this concealer helps give my eyes a "boost." It comes in a variety of colors, but I have very fair skin.
If you are looking for a good, yet inexpensive concealer, give this one a try. The price vary a little, but you should be able to snag it up for less than $10. You can probably find it for much less if you wait for a drug store sale or use coupons.

Today I have teen blogger "Rae," who blogs at Rae's Random Rambles to help with the review of the new Harry Potter Movie.
OpinionMom: Was there anything about the movie that you didn't like?
I did not like the differences in the book and the movie. I also did not like some of the changes that were made.
OpinionMom: Did you like the movie or the book better?
I, of course, liked the book better. In my opinion books are almost always better, allowing the reader to use their imagination while reading.
OpinionMom: What age group would you say that this movie is for?
I would say it is for children and adults over the age of twelve. If the children are younger make sure the parents are ready to talk about it.
OpinionMom: Was there anything objectionable about this movie?
There was nothing about the movie that I particularly objected to.
OpinionMom: Was the movie worth it? Would you buy this movie?
I would love to own this movie.
For additional opinions about the movie visit Rae's Random Rambles.

Tulsa, Okla. - Getting up as early as 4:00 a.m. to train, most runners find that running before dawn is the only feasible to keep up with their regimen and stay on track for things like the upcoming Tulsa Run and Route 66 Marathon.
"This truly is dangerous heat," said Fleet Feet owner Lori Dreiling.
But even during the evenings, the temps still hover in the low to mid 90's.
Dreiling says there are several products that use new technology to help people keep cool, such as the Frogg Toggs cooling towel that can stay cold for hours.
She says people wrap it around their necks to keep cool.
Another popular product at the store is the Cool Point hand cooler that can help runners maintain a cool core temperature.
Even experienced runners like Drew Barton learn the dangers of the heat the hard way sometimes.
He says he suffered heat exhaustion when he tried to run around 3:00 in the afternoon last week.
"I got home and I got dizzy and sick and had to lay down," he said.
The only other real option is to run indoors on a treadmill, but even with a TV or music, that can be dreadfully dull, hence the nickname that many runners call it: the "dreadmill".

Minshall confident on turf
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Woodbine's two series for Canadian-bred 3-year-olds will be winding up over the next two weekends, with the Wonder Where scheduled for Saturday and the Breeders' on Aug. 2.
Trainer Barbara Minshall thinks she is in with a chance in both races. She plans to send out Dance for Us in the Wonder Where and Parabola in the Breeders'.
The Wonder Where, a 1 1/4-mile turf race, concludes the triple tiara for fillies, which began with the 1 1/8-mile Woodbine Oaks and continued with the 1 1/16-mile Bison City.
The Breeders', at 1 1/2 miles on the grass, follows the Queen's Plate and Prince of Wales in the Canadian Triple Crown.
Dance for Us passed on the Woodbine Oaks, running instead in a first-level allowance over 1 1/16 miles of turf the previous day.
After finishing third there, Dance for Us returned to the main track for the Bison City and prevailed by a nose under new rider Chantal Sutherland.
"She came out of her last race great," said Minshall, who trains the homebred Dance for Us for the Minshall Farm of her stepson Shawn.
Minshall believes the return to turf will be a plus for Dance for Us, despite the loss in her lone try on the surface.
"When we ran her on the turf, we had blinkers on her, which was not a smart thing," Minshall said. "We took them off last time.
"From Day 1, we were thinking of turf racing for her. She did run well and moved well on it."
Minshall also thinks the Wonder Where distance will present no problems.
"She's very rideable, very rateable," Minshall said. "She'll wait for the rider to tell her when to go."
Parabola, who closed out his first campaign with a win in the Kingarvie over 1 1/16 miles, returned this year with the Queen's Plate on his agenda.
But after the gelding finished last in both the seven-furlong Queenston and 1 1/16-mile Marine and came out of the latter race with a severe infection, Minshall abandoned that quest.
Minshall instead entered Parabola in the Charlie Barley, an overnight stakes that was scheduled for a mile on turf on the day prior to the Queen's Plate. Parabola trailed the field again when the race was switched to a mile and 70 yards on the main track.
"It was unfortunate that race came off," Minshall said. "I thought he'd be better on turf."
Minshall got to prove her point on July 8 when Parabola, facing older rivals in a restricted second-level allowance over 1 1/16 miles, rallied strongly to score by a length.
"He got loose in the walking ring before the race," Minshall said. "He's a handful, but he's okay.
"He loved the turf. It took him a while to come around, but he's in great shape right now and he's definitely improving.
"He's another horse that I think can go all day."
Hollywood Hit impresses in local bow
Hollywood Hit, making his first start for owner Peter Redekop and trainer Terry Jordan, ran to his advance notices here last Sunday.
With jockey Jim McAleney in the irons, Hollywood Hit broke alertly and turned back several challengers en route to a 1 1/2-length victory in a first-level allowance over seven furlongs.
The race was the longest to date for Hollywood Hit, who was facing older rivals for the first time after being purchased privately in Texas. His Beyer Speed Figure came back at 96.
"I thought he was going to get caught," said Jordan, looking back on Hollywood Hit's local debut. "Jimmy said he smooched to him and away he went."
Redekop is based in British Columbia, and if all goes well, Hollywood Hit could eventually wind up in the B.C. Derby, a 1 1/8-mile race at Hastings on Sept. 27.
"Jimmy thinks he'd be able to run around the turns out there," said Jordan, who will be looking at a second-level allowance for Hollywood Hit's next performance.
Monty's Best to West Virginia Derby
Monty's Best, a Florida-bred colt trained by Reade Baker, is headed for the Aug. 1 West Virginia Derby.
The field for the 1 1/8-mile West Virginia Derby, which offers Grade 2 status and a purse of $750,000, is expected to include Mine That Bird.
Monty's Best, owned by Jim and Susan Hill, won his maiden over seven furlongs in his second start here last fall and then concluded his campaign with a second-place finish in the Grade 3 Iroquois over one mile at Churchill Downs.
In two appearances here this spring, Monty's Best won a first-level allowance over six furlongs and then rallied from last place in a field of seven to defeat older rivals in a $62,500 claimer/second-level allowance at 1 1/16 miles.
"I realize we're going to be running against the Kentucky Derby winner, but I was really impressed by his last race," Baker said. "He was running against older horses, there was a crawling pace, and he went by them pretty easily. He's in great shape."
Monty's Best worked five furlongs on the training track in 1:00.80 here last Sunday and is scheduled to drill another five furlongs this weekend before shipping to West Virginia on Tuesday.
Eurico Rosa Da Silva, who has been in the irons for Monty's Best's recent scores, has the mount.
Saratoga handicapping seminar

A It's true that in some parts of Germany, in some vintages, the wines are too acidic. To cope with this, water may be added, or sugar, or the winemaker could try his luck with malolactic fermentation to take away the unwanted sharpness.
Chalk - calcium carbonate - can be a very useful tool, though its use is subject to regulation and can only be employed with a permit. It turns unwanted acidity into tartrates which settle to the bottom of the tank and can be filtered out. Some carbon dioxide is also generated in the process, which may not be the best friend of the environment but is totally harmless as far as the wine is concerned. So your Riesling won't taste chalky.
The addition of calcium carbonate is not restricted to Germany. English winemakers occasionally use it, as do their counterparts in Luxembourg, Canada, Tasmania and parts of New Zealand.

Author has written 8 stories for Harry Potter, Song of the Lioness, and Love Hina.
WOW!! It's been 6 or 7 years since I last visited/updated this site.
Hi everyone, I'm Lady Reena. I read through all my old fics and realize that they totally suck, so I deleted most of them. Ahhh, the memories. I used to work so hard on those fics. Well, now that I am back not much has changed. My favorite fandoms are still Tamora Pierce and Harry Potter. I will most likely be writing some new fics once I get back into the hang of things around here. Fanfiction.net has changed so much too!!
Anyway, I will be leaving up the most ridiculous of my fics for now (the harry potter stupid humor ones) because to this day I still think they're funny. Thanks to everyone who actually liked my fics back in the day. Here's hoping for a comeback! 05/2008
Things I like:
Riding Horses- i love Quarter Horses!, Reading, Running, Good Food, Dancing, Hip-Hop, Reggaeton, Oldies, Special Effects, Motion Graphics, Sleeping
Things I hate:
Haters, Roaches, Parking Tickets, Bad Grammar and spelling in fics!!, The word "drabble"... you will never see me use it
I review each and every fic i read, even if it stinks. I'd appreciate if you do the same for me. BUT, I do NOT read fics that BEG for reviews. "PLEASEEEE REVIEW MY FIC I LIVE ON REVIEWS!! I WON'T POST AGAIN 'TIL I HAVE FIVE REVIEWS!!" Honestly, if you're going to act like that, then you are probably not even taking time to write your fics and you just post and post just to get reviews. You know who you are, people!! Stop it; it's annoying!!
Also, for fans of Tamora Pierce, check out and our collaborative fic on here, Cold Feet.
