What to expect when youre hookup a black man
CECILIA HARRIETThursday, April 4, 2019 2:30:06 PM
I grew up in one of the seventeen cities in the United States named Rochester Wikipedia, I felt a certain pride in hanging out with people who were Dominican, Indonesian, Laos, Filipino, Hispanic, etc. My parents taught me good morals, like not judging others by their appearance, though I did have to keep my jaw clenched when I visited relatives.
Fitting into this lifestyle felt more natural to me than living in Rochester ever did. Gay, bisexual, straight, transgender, black, white, Asian, it was there and it was beautiful. All it took was one semester for me to breakup with my high school boyfriend and fall completely in love with a guy from my dorm. He was the first black guy I had ever dated.
Telling your parents about your new boyfriend is hard enough when his skin is the same color as yours, but it becomes even more difficult when he is at the opposite end of the color spectrum as you. No matter how anxious I was to tell my family about my What to expect when youre hookup a black man, I felt proud of my interracial relationship, like we were the result of the world uniting and becoming a better place.
While some people smiled at us as we held hands in D. The thing is, people were tolerant, but they were not always accepting.
Where friends from home had laughed in my face, believing my taste in guys had somehow done a as a result of moving to the city, black guys I currently went to school with were intrigued.
Dating a black man is not the same as dating a white man. I was pushed out of my comfort zone and I learned more than I ever would have had I been with some someone who grew up just as I did. He showed me new music, food, and gave me a new perspective to consider. His family welcomed me with open arms and I am a better person because of it.
The more attention I received from black men, the less white men wanted to talk to me, as if I had been eternally branded as a traitor. They seemed to be intimidated by my dozens of Facebook pictures with darker men, causing them to run before they even got to know me. To them, Black men were filthy and diseased, which could only mean one thing: As my luck with white men plummeted, I was inevitably pushed further towards black guys.
I began attending parties where I was one of the few white people. The first time I had ever questioned my physical appearance was before What to expect when youre hookup a black man even began first grade.
I was running around my house in a black one piece bathing suit and remember looking down at my stomach, thinking that it stuck out too much. Critiquing my body became a regular occurrence after that. As I slowly prodded my way through middle school then high school, my body began taking on the features of a woman. I felt that I looked the way that I was meant to look: But going to college challenged my standards of beauty.
Moving from one of the least to one of the most diverse states in the U. I have always been drawn to dark haired, dark skinned, brown eyed men, but with only 1.
Does this mean I will never date a white man again?
Though there are challenges when it comes to interracial relationships, it is not all negative. It is a good feeling to know that you are secure enough in your relationship that the disapproval of others only adds to the excitement.
I am united with those who have white skin by similar experiences or the culture we may share, but I do not view us as an army fighting a war against all others of different shades.
The only wars I see are the ones with ourselves where we are the traitors, betraying our own happiness by worrying about skin color or the size of our body parts instead of simply finding someone we love.

"So you have jungle fever?" and "You're into black guys?" didn't become frequently asked questions until I began attending school at Towson.

In the many years I've been involved in Parkour Philippines, I've heard all kinds of concerns and questions from both practitioners and interested participants. One worry that almost always comes out is when people remain hesitant to train in Parkour because they do not have a group to train with. There is a hesitation to be exposed out there all on your own, by yourself, in not so private places. In these public places where public eyes can see you make or break a jump, fly or fail a flow, catch or fall off a ledge, some would rather avoid the situation altogether and thus not even attempt to try out something for the sake of practicing Parkour. The reality, and perhaps, rooted from experience also, is that training alone is part and parcel of this discipline. Rather, there is a lot to learn from taking the "Solo Flight."
There is danger in training alone. There is no safety net of fellow traceurs to catch your mistakes. Either you make the jump, or you don't. It is in this reality where one learns to face one's fears. It is during these moments that you further train the mental aspect of Parkour. By knowing your fears, you learn to respect your limitations. And that's when you break them, eventually.
Some people confuse doing Parkour in public, regardless of the situation or people around you, as Solo Flights. If you really are training alone, you do not need an active audience to cheer you on, or even care if they criticize you. Take note, do not confuse showmanship as independent training. There are no cameras, no distractions. You only focus on your movement.
It is only when you spend a reasonable time alone training (or conditioning) when you find yourself asking the question. Against public eyes, amidst rough weather, above and below rugged conditions and unpolished surfaces, you eventually identify your inner motivations. Is this a mere past-time or exercise? Or is this something more for you?
Lastly, as with any artist, creativity requires solitude. Yes, you can have role models in movement. But the only true way to find your own style is to keep experimenting and practicing, finding out the quirks and qualities of your individual movement without judgement, criticism, influence of others around you. Of course, training with others will further refine your movement, but do not make the mistake of being limited by it. Yes, you can still listen for feedback and input, and it is actually recommended. Just don't forget that this is Parkour; We are to make our own way, our own flow, given our individual limitations, capabilities, and bodies.

SHE'S the blonde bombshell aiming to win over Sir Alan Sugar and become his £100,000-per-year Apprentice.
But reality TV hopeful Kate Walsh, 27, was last night offered her old job back if she is fired by the tycoon – serving up fish and chips at her local Midland chippie.
She also used to earn her £3-per-hour cleaning while employed at Pye Green Fish Bar in Hednesford, near Cannock, Staffordshire when she was a 16 year-old student.
Now the very first business magnate to tell Kate 'you're hired' wants her back.
Chip shop boss Zac Zachariou said: "Kate was very good. In fact, when it came to cleaning, she was top-notch.
"She was also very popular with the customers.
"If Sir Alan doesn't want her, she can come back here!''
Kate is one of the hot favourites to win the BBC show and is now a high-flying licensing development manager based in leafy Hampshire.
But Zac – whose name is Greek for 'sugar' – believes the Hednesford woman's business skills and determination to succeed were honed at his chippie.
During those nine months in 1998 she served and cleaned for the princely sum of £3-an-hour.
And he is so confident of his former apprentice's ability that he has placed a £100 bet on her netting the plum job with Sir Alan. Any winnings will be given to charity.
Zac, 40, said: "Kate was always polite and punctual when she worked here. She was always on time and well presented and you always knew she was going on to bigger and better things.
"She came here at 16 and you knew straight away that she wouldn't be one of the girls who leave the area and come back. She was going to really do something.
''When she said she was having time off to study, she really studied. I read a piece in the local paper about all the 'A' grades she got."
Kate can thank Kelly Storey and Kelly Millington, schoolmates at Blake High School, for securing her first paid job at the chippie. They already worked at the fish bar and put in a good word for her.
It was a gamble, but it paid off big-time for Zac whose family has run the award-winning business for 35 years.
Kate went on to serve at McDonalds and was also a part-time model.
Zac added: "I've had reporters approach me, trying to dig the dirt on Kate, but I've got no time for them.
''Kate was a good, hard-working girl who had a strong family behind her.
"I saw her five years ago when she came in for some chips and she's welcome here anytime."

Former Reds pitcher ignites ugly brawl in independent league game
If you wonder what has become of former Padres/Reds pitcher Mat Latos, he is pitching in an independent baseball league after struggling last year with the Blue Jays.
Latos is with the New Jersey Jackals of the Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball, and he sparked a brawl with the Rockland Boulders on Saturday night.
According to mycentraljersey.com, after a Boulders player ran into the Jackals catcher, Latos threw an inside pitch to the next batter.
That didn't upset anyone. However, the next pitch was at the head of the Boulders hitter and that is when the benches cleared. Latos picked up an opposing player and slammed him to the ground before the batter joined the action. Both teams then joined the fray.
Latos appeared to be ejected from the game.
You can watch the brawl in the video above and here is the play at the plate that apparently upset Latos:

9-86 And All ThatMartin Chandler |
Years ago I met a former teammate of Sarfraz Nawaz, who described him as a man with many faults. The Pakistani pace bowler could be aggressive, contrary and defiant. In his playing career he was often quick to anger, and was certainly difficult to captain. But even my informant made the comments he did with a smile on his face, and for a cricket fan in the 1970s and 1980s it was difficult not to like the tall and handsome fast medium swing bowler who clearly did not want for either courage or self-confidence. He was after all the man who in 1975 at Northampton, when Jeff Thomson let him have a short one, proceeded to inform the fearsome Australian that there was a vacant plot for him in a local cemetery. Sarfraz hung in there to score 26 and 31 and, when it was his turn to bowl, unleashed a bouncer that saw the back of Thommo for just four.
Sarfraz' reputation now is as the man who introduced the dark art of reverse swing to the game, something which confirms that whatever faults he had as a player he was nobody's fool. As a bowler he had a unique approach to the wicket, carrying himself at near enough bolt upright. No one ever tried to coach that out of him, and as a youngster he was called 'steel spine'.
In the late 1960s Pakistan's pace bowling stocks were, to put it kindly, moderate. They blooded Salim Altaf in England in 1967, and he went on to play 21 Tests without ever really breaking through, a career haul of 46 wickets at 37.17 being testament to that. Also in England in 1967 was Niaz Ahmed, but his career was to consist of just two matches. In the first Test of the return series in 1968/69 Asif Masood made his debut. Living proof that statistics don't always tell the truth Asif, whose unorthodox action was brilliantly likened by John Arlott to Groucho Marx chasing a pretty waitress, took 38 wickets at 41.16 in his 16 Tests. He was a much better bowler than those numbers suggest.
Two of Pakistan's best batsman, Majid Khan and Asif Iqbal, took turns with the new ball in that 1968/69 series without conspicuous success. Prior to back problems causing him to concentrate on his batting Asif had been a useful seamer, but Majid was never anything other than a part time bowler. Despite that when, for the third Test, the 20 year old Sarfraz was handed a debut after taking 14 wickets in five First Class matches at a relatively ordinary 33.79, the new ball still went to Majid. In a game cut short by the crowd riot that led to a hurried flight home for the Englishmen Sarfraz took 0-78.
An unremarkable performance on a docile pitch did not however matter much for Sarfraz as his lucky break had come earlier on the tour when a member of the England party, the Northamptonshire opening batsman Roger Prideaux, had been impressed by what he saw of the young Pakistani in the nets. Prideaux was sufficiently keen to see more to extract an invitation from his county for a year's trial. It must have been a rude awakening for Sarfraz. He spoke no English and whilst his fellow Pakistani, Mushtaq Mohammad, was also at the club he was with the first team. Nonetheless Sarfraz must have knuckled down as he had an excellent season with the seconds, and in the game against the touring West Indians, when he could play for the first team, he picked up five wickets.
In 1970, his first year of availability for Championship matches, Sarfraz took 63 wickets at 29.22 and was described in Wisden as having a useful season. In 1971 however he had a miserable time. His domestic season was successful enough as he earned a place in the party that toured England in the first half of the 1971 summer. In the event however injury restricted his availability, and he only started three matches in which he took 2-219. It was little better back at Northampton for the second half of the season and 10 wickets at 37.70 in six matches were not enough to earn him another contract. There was also controversy about the cause of his troubles. For Sarfraz it was a back problem, although the Pakistani management indicated that expert reports suggested the issues were psychological rather than physical.
Without a county contract in 1972 Sarfraz joined Nelson in the Lancashire League. He had a fine all round summer, much improving the fortunes of a club that had spent a number of years in the League's lower reaches. The club were happy to have him back in 1973, after a winter in which he had become a Test player once more, but Nelson slipped back that year. Sarfraz' bowling was rather less effective, although he scored plenty of runs and did enough to cause Northamptonshire to conclude that perhaps they had made a mistake by letting him go, and he was invited back to the county in 1974.
In between his two stints in Lancashire Sarfraz had toured Australia. Pakistan had left him out for the first Test, which they lost by an innings and plenty. With Sarfraz taking his first Test wickets in the second Test the losing margin was 92 runs and whilst the Australians completed a clean sweep at the SCG the Pakistanis had only themselves to blame for their defeat as they failed to reach a fourth innings target of 159. Sarfraz had taken 4-53 and 4-56 and along with Salim earned the respect of Ian Chappell who wrote that they; made the ball swing, bounce and cut off the wicket and maintained an excellent line and length. Still not the finished article however Sarfraz disappointed in the three matches that followed in New Zealand and, on returning to Pakistan, took 1-156 in two Tests against England. In the second of those Sarfraz did at least have the consolation of having almost certainly saved the game for Pakistan. Coming in at 129-8 on the final day he kept out the English spinners for more than an hour and a half despite a clutch of close in fielders. With his powerful shoulders Sarfraz was always a good bet for a few quick runs, but his unbeaten 33 on this occasion showed he could defend as well.
For most of 1974 Sarfraz was engaged with the Pakistan tourists, although for his county he achieved much more in just five matches than he had in 1971 in six. For Pakistan he played a significant part in a performance that saw all three Tests drawn and he might, had rain allowed the final day of the first match to start, have played a match winning role in a famous victory. First his 53 in Pakistan's first innings helped them to a lead of 102, and then he took seven wickets as England closed the penultimate day with 44 still needed and four wickets to fall with only Keith Fletcher of the recognised batsmen left. The second match was again spoiled by rain and the third by a low slow batsman's wicket at the Oval. So frustrated did Sarfraz become that at one point in the England innings he bowled a beamer at Tony Greig necessitating a swift intervention by umpire 'Dicky' Bird.
In 1975 Sarfraz again missed part of the county season, this time because of the first World Cup. He still managed to be one of only two bowlers in the country to take more than 100 wickets in a batsman's year. He was scarcely less effective in the long hot summer of 1976, and in September of that year helped Northants to their first piece of silverware, the Gillette Cup. He was to remain with the county until 1982. His powers were certainly on the wane by then, but it was the attraction of the alternative of Kapil Dev that swayed the committee in favour of the Indian all-rounder. As on the last occasion Northants had rejected him Sarfraz signed for Nelson. To the annoyance of the club he didn't turn up in Lancashire in 1983, a gig that former Surrey and England batsman Graham Roope was happy to take up in his place.
International scheduling was such that after their 1974 series in England Pakistan had just two Tests in the next two years, and then 11 in six months. At the start of that run in 1976/77 Sarfraz appeared for the first time with Imran Khan, and the pair took 27 wickets between them in three Tests against New Zealand. In Australia the first of three Tests was drawn and then, in Sarfraz' absence through injury, the second was lost by 348 runs. Fit again for the third Test at the scene of their near success four years earlier Pakistan, thanks to Imran's first great bowling performance (12-165), shared the series. Sarfraz chipped in with three good wickets in each innings to make a full contribution to Pakistan's first win on Australian soil.
In 1977/78 Pakistan hosted England for three Tests. Sarfraz showed his unpredictable side, leaving Pakistan for England after the first Test because he was dissatisfied with his terms and conditions. It is to be assumed the Board must have accepted he had a point because a couple of weeks later he was back and in the side for the third Test. In a return series in England in the summer of 1978 Sarfraz again missed the second Test. This time he had pulled up lame in the first after just six overs. What followed next was a home series against India. Sarfraz took 17 wickets at 25.00 and was a major contributor to Pakistan's two victories in a three match series.
In March of 1979 Pakistan played two Tests in Australia. This was towards the end of the World Series Cricket schism, but Australia were still without their Packer players and had just been on the wrong end of a 5-1 Ashes thrashing. Pakistan on the other hand, motivated no doubt in large part by a desire not to risk defeat by India, were picking their WSC men who, by now, included Sarfraz. The atmosphere in the Test was not going to be the best from the moment the Pakistan captain Asif Iqbal likened the Australian side to a bunch of schoolboys.
Pakistan won the first of the two Tests, thanks almost entirely to Sarfraz. Graham Yallop won the toss and asked Pakistan to bat. They were reduced to 122-7 before Sarfraz hung around long enough to score 35 out of the 74 added for the last three wickets. Later, with Australia on 305-3 chasing a victory target of 382 Sarfraz took the new ball, cut down his run and produced a devastating spell of swing bowling of 7-1 to end up with career best figures of 9-86, the first nine wicket innings haul for a Pakistan bowler and indeed at that time the best figures by a pace bowler in Test history. Other than Kim Hughes, who holed out trying to force the pace, no Pakistan fielder was involved in any of the dismissals.
The second Test in the series was an ill-tempered one and again Sarfraz was in the thick of things, albeit this time for very different reasons. In Pakistan's second innings, after they appeared to be dead and buried, Asif produced a superb innings and what looked like being an Australian fourth innings target of little more than a hundred suddenly started to stretch and became 236. At that point pace bowler Alan Hurst decided to 'mankad' Pakistan's number eleven, Sikander Bakht. Australia got the runs easily enough, but when the opening partnership reached 87 and Alan Hilditch picked up the ball to return it to Pakistan it was Sarfraz who immediately appealed, and Hilditch became only the second man in Test history to be dismissed handled the ball.
A six Test tour of India was next on Pakistan's itinerary, but Sarfraz wasn't selected. Skipper Asif Iqbal, whose last series it was to prove, told the selectors that if they chose Sarfraz they would have to choose a different captain. The series was lost 2-0 and for the visit of Australia that followed Pakistan had a new captain, Javed Miandad, so Sarfraz played, albeit with no success. He scored just 22 runs in the three Tests and took only two wickets.
In November 1980 Pakistan's guests were West Indies. In the first Test Sarfraz, by putting on 168 for the seventh wicket with Imran, helped his side to a draw, but he was an unhappy man, declaring the pitch had been doctored to help Pakistan's spinners. He proceeded to flounce off to London for, he said, treatment on a groin strain. Another reason for his departure was, apparently, his disappointment with Javed's captaincy. He was back and playing again in the final Test of the series but despite bowling economically he picked up just a single wicket.
In Australia in 1981/82 Sarfraz renewed his acquaintance with the MCG and his bowling helped Pakistan to a consolation victory. Sarfraz' most memorable contribution to the first two Tests was his top score of 26 in the first innings at the WACA which helped his side from 26-8 to the comparative respectability of 62 all out.
Unsurprisingly Sarfraz was one of the senior players who refused to play on under Javed's captaincy in the 1981/82 series against Sri Lanka and he only returned to the fold for the northern hemisphere summer of 1982 when, for the first time, Imran was skipper. The series was won 2-1 by England, but Sarfraz played a role in the Pakistan win at Lord's. Unfortunately however he was not fit enough to play in either of his side's defeats in the other two Tests.
Back home in Pakistan in 1982/83 Sarfraz' injury prevented him from playing any part in the 3-0 drubbing of Australia, but he was back to play in all six Tests against India. Left to their own devices the selectors would not have picked him, but Imran wanted him and eventually persuaded the Board President to overrule the selectors. Imran's 40 wicket haul at a little over 13 runs apiece was the major reason for the home side's 3-0 victory but, with 19 wickets, Sarfraz supported his captain well and fully justified the lengths Imran went to in order to get him in the side.
It was Imran's turn to be injured when the Pakistan side to visit India in 1983/84 was chosen. Acting skipper Zaheer Abbas was no more of a Sarfraz enthusiast than Javed, and he didn't try to dissuade the selectors from leaving Sarfraz out of the side. The method adopted was somewhat underhand. Sarfraz was never keen on nets or training, and became even less inclined as he got older. Those that knew him let him get on with it, as they understood he got into shape from bowling, but the Board decided all candidates for the tour had to pass a fitness Test. Sarfraz failed of course and, having talked of retirement before, most observers thought that at 33 years of age the Sarfraz show was over particularly when, after expressing his views about the selectors in the media, he was handed a six month ban.
The ban left Sarfraz unable to play in the five Test series in Australia that followed the trip to India or the three home Tests against England that rounded off Pakistan's season. The problem the selectors had however was that as Imran remained unable to bowl their reserve pace bowling stocks, just about manageable in India, were woefully inadequate in Australia. The ban was therefore lifted and Sarfraz travelled to Pakistan half way through the tour and played in the final three Tests with some limited success. He did rather better against England and indeed in his final Test was to get as close as he ever got to a First Class century, scoring 90. It was an important innings too as he played the leading role in a 161 partnership with a lame Zaheer that would have paved the way for a Pakistan victory, had their middle order not thrown away a wonderful position in the fourth innings. In the end the lower middle order, so Sarfraz again, had to shut up shop to get the draw.
After his retirement Sarfraz did not mellow. In the 1987 World Cup Pakistan lost in the semi-final to Australia. An unimpressed Sarfraz suggested that the Pakistani players had accepted money to lose the game. Skipper Imran dismissed the reports following which Sarfraz became more specific, alleging a conspiracy between Javed Miandad and Abdur Rahman Bukhatir, the man largely responsible for the game taking off in Sharjah. Javed the batsman had held the Pakistan innings together and, following an injury to Salim Yousuf, had kept wicket capably through most of the Australian innings. Both Javed and Bukhatir sued Sarfraz for libel damages in Pakistan, and Bukhatir also did in the UAE. Neither case was ever resolved, Javed eventually calming down and losing interest in the case in Pakistan, and Sarfraz giving the UAE a swerve.
An expressed desire to keep the game clean later prompted Sarfraz to accuse Asif Iqbal of 'irregularities' in relation to the Indian tour of 1979/80, as well as succeeding generations of underperforming in the Texaco Trophy in 1992 and during a tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe in 1994/95. It was Sarfraz who made a sworn statement in Lahore to Mr Justice Qayyum in 1998 and suggested Dean Jones was forced to retire because of his involvement with match fixing. In 2007 Sarfraz was one of those who was quick to suggest that the tragic death of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was the responsibility of organised criminals from the world of gambling. As Sarfraz' many critics were keen to point out he himself was a keen follower of the sport of kings, and no stranger to gambling emporia.
In 1993 Sarfraz crossed swords with the English criminal courts twice. In February of 1993 he appeared before Marylebone Magistrates Court and was fined £100 and disqualified from driving for 15 months for a drink/driving offence. At the time he was on bail for a much more serious offence. A dancer had accused Sarfraz of falsely imprisoning her and stealing money from her the previous year. It was October of 1993 before Sarfraz knew his fate on that one. His alleged victim failed to appear at the Old Bailey in order to tell her story and the charges against him were dismissed. It is one of the weaknesses of the English Criminal Justice system that such allegations, so easy to make and so difficult for an accused to throw off, should result in a Defendant being named before he or she is tried.
As Sarfraz left the Old Bailey without a stain on his character the false imprisonment charge is only of indirect relevance to his other appearance before a UK court at this time. That relevance is that his defence was publicly funded through legal aid, Sarfraz being in receipt of income support of just over £40 a week at the time. Despite that he was still able, during the fourteen months following 26 August 1992, to pursue a libel claim in the High Court, a hugely expensive legal forum and a type of claim for which legal aid is not and never has been available.
The background to the litigation arose out of the 1992 season, one of the more eventful English cricketing summers and by the end of which England had lost a five match Test series to Pakistan 2-1 The English batting suffered a number of collapses against spells of fast bowling from Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram that saw the old ball swinging prodigiously, and there was a groundswell of popular opinion that believed the Pakistanis, by interfering with the ball, were guilty of cheating.
In an article in the Daily Mirror Alan Lamb, who had played in a couple of the Tests and all the ODIs of the summer, wrote an article that accused the Pakistanis of deliberately damaging the ball. He concluded the article by explaining what was done and adding; it was an old trick first shown to me a dozen years ago by my old Northamptonshire teammate Sarfraz Nawaz. He was a genuine swing bowler, but he learnt the trick to help him bowl on the concrete hard surfaces in Pakistan.
The article was a damning indictment of the then current Pakistan side, but although Wasim and Waqar, through a solicitor, issued a statement on the subject, it was Sarfraz who, having decided he had been labelled a cheat, issued a libel writ. It would seem to be a reasonable assumption that some other individual or organisation was responsible for Sarfraz's legal fees as it seems inconceivable that any legal team would have dealt with such a case on a pro bono basis, and the now commonplace 'no win no fee' agreement was not then permitted in England. Today, with a requirement for a libel Claimant to prove serious harm to his reputation, rather than simply some harm, the action wouldn't have got off the ground, but in 1992 it actually made it to trial where, part way through, Sarfraz threw in the towel.
After the aborted trial, in the way that any self-respecting competitor would, Sarfraz claimed victory on the basis that Lamb had acknowledged in evidence that he had never accused Sarfraz of cheating in any match the pair had played together. The court record of course showed a different winner, but that seems not to have worried Sarfraz. A quarter of a century on and the mysteries of reverse swing are better understood, and despite recent events in South Africa few suggest now that Wasim, Waqar or indeed Sarfraz before them were ever "guilty" of anything more heinous than occasionally pushing their luck.
Outside cricket Sarfraz, with the help of his third wife, was to forge a career in politics. He had married first in 1970, to a sister of Test batsmen Saeed and Younis Ahmed, a fact that does not get any sort of mention in Younis' autobiography so, as a brother in law, he was presumably something of a disappointment. Sarfraz' second marriage, to a lady doctor from Karachi, took place in December 1976. In turn that marriage ended and then in 1982, whilst she was in London receiving treatment for cancer, Sarfraz met and married Rani Mukhtar, a well-known actress. With her support Sarfraz became an MP in the Punjab Provincial Assembly in 1985, joining the socialist Pakistan Peoples Party in 1988, and later transferring his allegiance to the more centrist Muttahida Quami Movement.
Sarfraz still finds it impossible to live a quiet life. Now 69 he was reported in October 2017 as being involved in two court cases against cricket administrators in Pakistan and of complaining about threats he had received. He cannot be blamed for taking them seriously. Back in the late 1980s he was attacked by a gang outside his Lahore home that left him unconscious and with injuries that necessitated a 15 day stay in hospital. Despite that disincentive to ruffle feathers Sarfraz has been quoted as saying I can't sit back and let these people ruin the careers of deserving youth. I am fighting a noble cause and I will take them to every available forum.
It seems unlikely that just because the passing years have diminished his ability to bowl bouncers at his opponents that Sarfraz Nawaz intends to go anywhere quietly, and I suspect that one of my favourite Pakistani cricketers has a headline or two to make yet. I wish him well.

HOUSTON, Tx. -- Laura Spector is an artist who recreates art that's been hidden or lost and paints those on the body of Chadwick Gray. Pictures of are taken of those bodies of work and then displayed as "Museum Anatomy."
Spector says, "I don't think there is anything that is black and white. I think there are mutliple ways to see it. Our work shows kind of multi dimensions. You can't tell if you're looking at the painting or the body of the model or both simultaneously."

Stop barging in its tracks with the help of Jason Webb
Jason Webb of Australian Horse Training is a renowned UK based horse trainer with a passion for starting young horses, solving equine problems and teaching riders of all abilities and ambitions how to develop and strengthen the partnership they have with their horses. In this Q&A he helps a reader with with a horse that can be a bit bolshy.
Question: My 14.2hh Connemara has several annoying habits including banging on her stable door and barging out as soon as you unlock it. She has left me on the ground several times! Unfortunately, it's a long-term habit that she'd learned before I bought her, but I'm keen to iron out this behavior. Do you you have any advice that can help, please?
Hayley Parsons
Jason answers: Firstly, use enough energy to move your horse away from the door and make sure she is looking at you with her ears forward before you feed her. This will go some way to correct banging on the door.
For horses that rush out the door, I let them. I go into the stable put the head collar on (rope head collar) with my 12 foot lead, stand to one side, throw the door open wide and let them go. When they go shooting out the door I remind them that they need to wait for me by giving them a hefty pull once their hip has cleared the doorway. They would now be facing the door and I would lead them back in and repeat. It will take three to five times before your horse looks to walk out the door and decides there must be another way. This is when you can step her back and lead her out. This works on a horse's ability to anticipate. You're not stopping your horse from rushing out the door, but teaching her that there are consequences if she does. Teaching a horse to take responsibility for their actions is just as important as teaching kids, and this usually comes from making a few mistakes along the way.

Project Description
ParioPlan led an interdisciplinary team of architects, landscape architects and civil engineers in the preparation of the Town of Beaumont Downtown Urban Design Plan (DUDCP). The DUDCP provides a strong vision in the form of words and graphics to illustrate how downtown Beaumont wishes to develop and mature in the future. It provides the platform to attract like-minded developers and businesses. The planning process included extensive stakeholder and public consultation including key person interviews, focus groups and a design charrette. One of the key deliverables was a very detailed implementation program outlining action items, and their costs and responsibilities for implementation that would inform the City's capital and operating budget. One of the key selling features of the DUDCP was the effective use of 3-dimensional graphics that allowed Council and stakeholders to visualize what the downtown of the future could look like. The DUDCP was approved by Beaumont Town Council on July 14, 2015. The project was completed on time and on budget.

Protecting class basic tips from tampering
I'm guessing a fair amount of new users make edits to the basic tips on the class pages that have to be undone. Maybe we should make subpages such as [[Class/tips]] that contain the basic tips and protect it with a reason like "Page has official, basic tips that should not be changed in any way". Even just including it as a separate page may turn away wikinoobs. I know List of official tips has been protected in the past for a similar reason, only really unprotected because those tips actually get updated. Toomai Glittershine 19:10, 23 October 2012 (PDT)
- A simpler, and less restrictive (to actual editors--i.e. if it ever gets updated) solution would be to add __NOEDITSECTION__ to the section in question; thus it could only be edited from a general page edit. This would defer any casual editor; but can be circumvented by simply editing the entire page. Darkid (|) 19:13, 23 October 2012 (PDT)
- Clarification: __NOEDITSECTION__ will remove all section edit links (i.e. [edit]) on the entire page—I'm still for this idea. Darkid (|) 20:00, 23 October 2012 (PDT)
- Is it possible to have a page for those tips that are in consideration? This way people could submit tips they have found useful while playing for others to see. Or would that be just too much work? Lud1colo 18:19, 6 March 2013 (PST)
- A bit of an old discussion. However, I feel you have missed the point of this section. The tips are not supposed to be edited. They are official! We have community strategy pages for user submissions. Darkid (|) 18:55, 6 March 2013 (PST)

It's really pain to edit this template and look that where are items in the promo and that promo item is for which slot (Weapons/Hats/Misc). My opinion are :
- Split this template to 3 pages of templates (Weapons Promo nav, Hats Promo nav and Misc Promo nav)
- Split this template to 3 categories but still on single template (Cause a lot of size larger and ugh! to editors)
- Split this template to 2 pages of templates (Games Promo nav and Events Promo nav)
- Do nothing
I don't think do nothing is the best way. I think we should do somethings before this template grow larger and harder to edit. Hinaomi (talk) • (contributions) 07:11, 27 February 2013 (PST)

Competitive Section Rework
Hi all, I'm RJ, an aspiring contributor here.
I'm suggesting that we revamp the competitive section of this wiki. In its current state, it really only explains the the basics of each format, such as the class restrictions and the basic dynamics, when really there is much more to the competitive scene. For example, it doesn't cover common rollouts for maps, it doesn't cover common callout locations, it doesn't cover good Engineer spots for specific maps, and there are many other things that our current section doesn't cover. Also, it doesn't go into depth how someone interested in the format could get into competitive TF2.
I was discussing with Xenak that I would like to help out revamp the Competitive page on this wiki. I had the idea of listing all current weapon bans for each league, a short history on each game type, and general know-how on each game type. Though this might have already been discussed, I suggested that I add some more in-depth information about each league, division, or game type.
I have played in a few seasons of Highlander unofficially in High Gold and Low Platinum divisions, and have played a lot of PUGs and Scrims with some of the best players in the Highlander community--I've come to know them all, and I feel like I have the first hand experience!
I was also thinking of hopefully making the Competitive page more of an encyclopedia for all things competitive--from specific map strategies, to dynamics of specific maps as well. I suggested to link to specific video guides or text guides from Reddit and other sources from higher ranked players with their input on a specific idea.
With this idea of making the encyclopedia-style pages, I also suggest there be competitive version for the specific maps. On the main Competitive page, there could be a link to something along the lines of "Badlands (Competitive)" -- this page could be an in-depth look at the map itself. Include a bit of history of when the map came into the rotation for each league (Badlands may not work in this case, but maps like cp_process and cp_steel would be an example), specific callout locations, and specific strategies. If there are maps that are played in both Highlander and 6v6, there could be a specific section for both types--specific offclassing suggestions, which classes work and which do not.
The only concern here about these competitive versions of these maps would be picking which maps are to have their own page. The simple solution to this is to use the maps that leagues find acceptable. No need to vote on which maps get their own page; if ETF2L has koth_lolcano in it's rotation that season, and teams have strategies for it, then it will get it's own page!
If you think that the Competitive page needs a revamp or reformat, feel free to talk about it here!
RJ 21:02, 6 March 2013 (PST)
- Badlands (competitive), etc. If you plan on doing a revamp, look at pages such as Soldier (competitive). Map pages are fair game, but large-scale revamps are going to need community agreement. Try to find a large enough (multiple teams) player basis to reach what looks like a naming convention consensus. Also,
{{Weapon Ban List}}. Start looking here. Darkid (|) 21:07, 6 March 2013 (PST)
- Support I agree that the competitive section needs a rework. It really only offers the bare bones of competitive TF2, with little to no mention towards how to get started in competitive, or specific class strategies for specific maps. Improving these areas can possibly help introduce other people to the competitive scene who normally wouldn't bother, as it would provide a defined way to get involved in comp. Many people I've talked to are interested in it but have no idea where to even start, and maybe this new and improved section can serve as both a gateway for them and an vault of knowledge for any questions they might have. As it is right now, it just seems unfinished and unrefined, and hopefully we can change that. Just my 1/50th of a dollar. — Xenak (Talk|Contribs) 21:22, 6 March 2013 (PST)
- Thanks for the ideas, you two! I'll see if I can get to work on gathering some consistent information from teams of various leagues and divisions. Maybe I could add a specific note on if specific places are called differently in different leagues? (An example would be that the Flank on Second near Gray Bridge on Badlands is called "Finland" in Europe) RJ 21:32, 6 March 2013 (PST)
- Honestly, that'd be one of my later priorities. At this point, I feel that the three of us (hopefully more) should decide what area we should work on (maps, classes, matchups, e.g.) and work on cleanup. Maps is a pretty easy way to go, (which is not bad) but does take a lot of consistent names. One thing to do before you dive in would be to take a page (the badlands page e.g.) and devise a nicely-reading page layout. The current one feels droll to me, and besides you'd need to work in the class strategy. Darkid (|) 03:59, 7 March 2013 (PST)

Classes as Characters Section/Article
Hiya I'm Krubby. I noticed that nowhere on the wiki is there an in-depth description of the classes about them as characters. I was thinking there should be a section on each of their pages or a combined article for all describing their personality, interests, etc. Thanks! Krubby 09:50, 7 March 2013 (PST)
- Hi there. I do agree that, for a game that is full of personality, some of the class articles are lacking with respect to describing the class's character. I don't think a whole section or new article is necessary, but rather a few more sentences about their personalities would be nice. —Moussekateer·talk 10:46, 7 March 2013 (PST)
Unpaintable hats in the Paintable hats table.
So I've been adding hats to the Paintable hats table as they come out. I've noticed that there are hats and miscs that are on the table that are unpaintable. So some input is needed. Should we include unpaintable hats on the table or not? Considering there are some already on them. Should we leave them or remove them? Ashes 12:08, 14 March 2013 (PDT)

About the "Marketable" in
{{Item infobox}}
Hello, recently I have noticed that there's a "Marketable" info in infobox, which can identify the items can be sold or not. However, I think there's many problems with that.
The default setting of the info is "No" , but many genuine items can be sold onto the Market, and the label would still be "No" if no one put another setting inside the individual page. When the promo is over, the items become unique quality and thus cannot be sold. The editors need to do another edit to removed it. Plus, there's many tool items which is labeled "cannot be sold" at this moment. I personally think it is a huge work for every language to label or remove "market = yes" setting manually.
Due to the wrong info sometimes cause, I think either we removed the Market part in the infobox, or the codes inside the infobox should be modified. If we decided to removed it, then the Steam Community Market page can do the record job. I think the information there is already sufficient by displaying the rules of Market and record the items which can be sold with a template. In sum, I don't think the Marketable label is necessary in infobox. Please let me know what's your opinion on this or what shall we do with the template. Thanks.
07:42, 14 March 2013 (PDT)
- I agree, I don't think that attribute is necessary. Mostly because I believe Valve intend to allow all items to be sold in the Steam Market in the near future, making this information nearly redundant. The Steam Community Market page should suffice for now until Valves plans are clearer. —Moussekateer·talk 18:37, 14 March 2013 (PDT)

- Agree so much, is like a paradox. Example: A Genuine Ham Shank is not tradable yet, but the wiki says is Marketable. Is like a paradox --MarcoDoctorwho 08:34, 17 March 2013 (PDT)

Painted images. Specified guidelines/rules?
I'm bringing this up mainly because, Due to some confusion in the IRC. What would we think would be the "average" resolution for painted hats/miscs. Also any other guidelines that could possibly fit in. (unless it differs per hat) If there should be a set or at least a minimum resolution why have we not came up with one? Ashes 13:32, 23 March 2013 (PDT)
- TheDoctor suggested it be at least 500 pixels. But, most of the images are under that suggestion. We would have to revamp many of the painted images. --Samuel Enthers 14:01, 23 March 2013 (PDT)
- Perhaps specific resolutions based on size of hats and miscs. Ex. Small 500px Large: 600x (These are examples do not actually use them) Ashes 14:02, 23 March 2013 (PDT)
- Off topic but along the same lines: many images have a visible fire overlay. This might not be visible in the small (thumbnail) images, but on the actual file page they are somewhat of a nuisance. Eels 14:07, 23 March 2013 (PDT)
- The tale about the problems with resolutions and pictures: There was once a ballon item which isnt vertically much but horizontal a lot. There is a horizontal big hat but not much veritcally. ; (fairy tale ends) ; In the end i only suggested one restriction for this case: 500px . this can result in 100x500 or 500x100 or 500x500.

- I think all of this is moot, just because the templates only need 150px images. --Samuel Enthers 16:16, 25 March 2013 (PDT)
- When we decide on this, we can stop the link to the image itself. Because it doesnt get bigger. Which itself makes only thumbnails without a normal (hq) version pretty useless if you want to see it sharply. But the staff members havent said anything about this yet, so we wait for some official thoughts, maybe? δ³Σx² > Add + or - skills for me 05:33, 26 March 2013 (PDT)

- Off topic but along the same lines: many images have a visible fire overlay. This might not be visible in the small (thumbnail) images, but on the actual file page they are somewhat of a nuisance. Eels 14:07, 23 March 2013 (PDT)
- Perhaps specific resolutions based on size of hats and miscs. Ex. Small 500px Large: 600x (These are examples do not actually use them) Ashes 14:02, 23 March 2013 (PDT)
- There isn't any need for a specific minimum resolution as long as the final image looks good when viewed on its file page. If your monitor is set to at least 1280x1024 your images should be fine for the most part but again this depends on the type of image being taken. The problem with these images is not necessarily the final image resolution but things like transparency, rotation, aliasing, and texture resolution. Compare the most recent version of this file to the initial version, for instance. There are docs available, so if you're having a specific problem just ask. i-ghost 06:08, 26 March 2013 (PDT)
What should be done with multi-class items like Crafty Hair? Should they have the nav of every class that can wear the item, or just the general Hat nav? 5 navs plus the promo nav plus the hat nav just seems a tad exaggerated. Eels 14:05, 24 March 2013 (PDT)
- The alternative is to add a "multi-class nav" which would result in things like the crafty hair being linked to on all the classes' pages, since each would need to transclude that template--each needs to reference their classes' items. This option allows each class to reference only and all of their own items. Darkid (|) 14:09, 26 April 2013 (PDT)
Disguise and Disguise Kit
I feel these should be merged onto Disguise Kit. No other class can disguise, and it's not exactly where one would expect to see the information in the first place. Darkid (|) 14:20, 26 April 2013 (PDT)
- Oppose One is about the item, the other is about the mechanic and all its gameplay implication. The former needs to exist, and the latter won't fit in the context of the former, because it goes in details like gameplay changes and hitboxes when disguised. These don't really belong on an item page. I think however that both articles merit a disambiguation link at the top linking to the other — Wind 14:25, 26 April 2013 (PDT)
- +1 for the disambiguation link. i-ghost 05:38, 22 May 2013 (PDT)
Deleting the AA, AB, AC… disambiguation pages.
This seems to be a change that has already been decided on, but I'd like to see what the consensus is. The arguments I've heard so far are:
- Pages allow users to look up items more quickly, akin to an index
- Pages are not necessary, "The wiki is not a rolodex"
Darkid (|) 12:21, 30 April 2013 (PDT)
- It's not really something up for discussion. These pages really shouldn't have existed in the first place, because if you already know what you're looking for, you can go directly to the thing in question. The only purpose these pages serve is for useless trivia about how many different things the same abbreviation stands for. As I pointed out in IRC, such pages serve no purpose in languages outside of English, which complicates translation efforts considerably. On top of which, every time a new item, map, etc. comes out, it doubles the workload required to propagate the changes made, when the focus of the Wiki should be on documenting meaningful content (such as what the actual item does). -- LordKelvin 12:32, 30 April 2013 (PDT)
- The abbreviation redirects make it a lot faster to navigate (typing
wiki.tf/FJis a lot faster than
wiki.tf/Frontier_Justice), even if you know what you're looking for. I think they should be kept.
- The abbreviation disambiguations pages don't make it faster to navigate, as generally the extra load time isn't worth the keystroke savings. It also doesn't make sense to translate them in the usual way. However, they are useful to newbies not knowing what some weapon abbreviation they've seen on a forum or chat log or whatever. This is a problem that exists, and which the wiki is probably the least-bad place to solve. However, perhaps disambiguation pages aren't the ideal solution to it. Instead, perhaps a single page such as Abbreviations would be in order. Translating such a page would make a little more sense as well, as the translated version of this page would contain abbreviations of the weapons in the other language (which, interestingly, would make it one of the few wiki pages to have its translated versions not directly follow the english version) — Wind 15:03, 30 April 2013 (PDT)
- Another option is to add those abbreviations/most important ones into Glossary page. This will, however, raise a question of "what is considered as important abbreviation" and "should Glossary page be translated 'normally' from English page, or language-specifically, e.g. include language's own abbreviations, terms, etc, and not straight copy-paste-translate from English version". -Asplode 15:14, 30 April 2013 (PDT)
- Coincidentally, this is exactly what Wiki editors should be doing by default when maintaining a page. These abbreviations and acronyms will fit just fine inside Glossary, instead of being spread out on what eventually amounted to a separate Wiki of its own in the form of a Rolodex. i-ghost 05:38, 22 May 2013 (PDT)
- Here's the list of deleted abbreviations, for reference — Wind 12:23, 4 May 2013 (PDT)
Naming consistency.
I notice a difference between Sawmill (Capture the Flag) and Community Sawmill (CTF) Strategy. Should the latter be changed to read Community Sawmill (Capture the Flag) Strategy?
Note: This effects Capture the Flag (CTF), King of the Hill (KOTH), and Control Point (CP). Darkid (|) 16:01, 1 May 2013 (PDT)
- Nope. i-ghost 16:11, 1 May 2013 (PDT)
- Any particular reason? Darkid (|) 18:17, 1 May 2013 (PDT)
- Not before you state why you want to move these pages first, no. i-ghost 06:10, 3 May 2013 (PDT)
- One set is named incorrectly. This means that when listed in categories (Such as Category:Maps) they appear out-of-order. Darkid (|) 07:15, 6 May 2013 (PDT)
- Not before you state why you want to move these pages first, no. i-ghost 06:10, 3 May 2013 (PDT)
- Any particular reason? Darkid (|) 18:17, 1 May 2013 (PDT)
- I'd say go ahead. It keeps things less confusing. "Thanks, Doc!" 11:22, 11 May 2013 (PDT)
Robo Keys And Items Ideas
Hi We Are All Wondering What Items And Key Designs That Are For The Robo-Crate.
I though Of This Idea
is that they'll be releasing a new MvM mission, which when completed in Mann up mode will reward you with a robo-key. This key will open the robo-crate, which will contain any one of the newly released Mk. II stranges, or unusual robo-hats.
In The Crates You Would Think Of Nuts N Bults As the Effect
but I think differently. Maybe Its Some Sort Of Poison oribiting the hat
You Can Email Me If u Have any Other Ideas
But I Didn't Mention the Key
I Think It Would Be Like a Metal Key All Siver But With Nuts in it
Email Me If u have some ideas :)

I hate to be a killjoy but…
I was trying to clean up Category:Templates, which could be used to create a more comprehensive list of templates in use on the wiki. In cleaning it up, I encountered quite a bit of randomness... including a few user templates (Which shouldn't ideally be in the category) and a few horridly outdated and/or humorous (perish the thought) templates. The question I'd like to ask is:
Should this category be cleaned out and re-purposed (including the deletion, re-purposing, or re-categorization of the random templates) or should it remain the way it is, in a general state of disrepair? Darkid (|) 11:35, 18 May 2013 (PDT)
- I don't see anything wrong with the templates. --Samuel Enthers 13:08, 20 May 2013 (PDT)
- Some are merely unused, others are simply out-of-use, and there is the thought that things should be cleaned up. Darkid (|) 13:20, 20 May 2013 (PDT)
- Being unused or out of use does not qualify a template for being removed from a category. That category exists both as a root for the sub-categories and for templates which don't fit the sub-categories; please use your own judgement to recategorise anything you feel is out of place (or leave it as it is if a template is fine where it is). The user templates should have their categorisations commented-out in their source. i-ghost 05:38, 22 May 2013 (PDT)
- Some are merely unused, others are simply out-of-use, and there is the thought that things should be cleaned up. Darkid (|) 13:20, 20 May 2013 (PDT)
Add in robot responses and voice lines?
I have noticed that there is no real directory for all of the MvM robot responses and voice lines, While it is true that these are just modified versions of the default player voices, they all have their own separate sound files in the .VPK sound directory. I believe that in the interest of full information, we should add in these sound files to a separate page like the player responses do. --Samuel Enthers 09:08, 20 May 2013 (PDT)
- I noticed the same thing and I'd love to upload them for you but I don't understand the new VPK system. If you could explain it to me I'd gladly do it for you. Eels 09:14, 20 May 2013 (PDT)
- Thanks for the help. All of my trouble is in designing and making a new page, however. I'll make a cheat sheet for the VPK system. --Samuel Enthers 11:23, 20 May 2013 (PDT)
- The Wiki is not a mirror for all game content. It is sufficient to simply state that the lines are altered versions of the originals, with perhaps an example or two, rather than mirror the existing response pages. i-ghost 05:38, 22 May 2013 (PDT)
- Thanks for the help. All of my trouble is in designing and making a new page, however. I'll make a cheat sheet for the VPK system. --Samuel Enthers 11:23, 20 May 2013 (PDT)
Separating major updates from content packs
The major updates nav lists both major updates (which copies http://www.tf2.com/history.php) and content packs together, unlike any other place on the wiki (or any valve site), as far as I'm aware. Is there a reason for this, other than to bloat the 2011 category? If not, can we split that nav in two, one for major updates and one for content packs?
I've taken the liberty of drawing up a split here. — Armisael (T · C) 07:30, 24 May 2013 (PDT)
- Yea, our major updates should match Valve's definition. Honestly, I doubt anyone would really care if you'd just go and do it. It's a minor change with good rational behind it. Balladofwindfishes 00:33, 24 May 2013 (PDT)

Princess (July 2017)
I am a German Shepherd named Princess and I want to tell you about my friend, Dr. Brad. When my mom rescued me almost three years ago, I came with a lot of baggage and an unknown past. One of my main issues is I won't get in the car because it means bad things to me. I am lucky that my mom learned about Dr. Brad's mobile vet services. All of my shots are now up to date and he is making sure I stay healthy. When he comes to my house he gets down on the floor and pays me a lot of fun attention while secretly checking me out. He is very patient about my issues; but I still won't get into his mobile unit. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before he will win me over and I will jump in with my tail wagging. I love Dr. Brad and I know you will too! Although I am very smart I haven't yet learned to write so my mom had to write this for me. (I love her!)
Ron and Susan Zinke (June 2017)
"Wouldn't it be amazing, if your personal physician would perform thorough medical examinations, provide you with medications, and even perform some surgeries using up-to-date surgical equipment, all in the comfort of your own home or in their mobile clinic/hospital?"
Well, we know for us humans that this is only a dream but it is a reality for your pet. Dr. Brad Dalrymple, DVM, of Veterinary Partners, mobile vet service, does just that! Dr. Brad treated our 100-pound, 12-year old German Shepherd who could no longer be transported, as well as, one of our cats who had issues with toenail trimming. In both cases, Dr. Brad quickly won their trust and successfully performed the necessary veterinary procedures with unprecedented professional expertise and compassion.
For our family of pets, gone are the days of being transported in animal cages to a veterinary clinic where they are all but traumatized, even before they receive an examination!
Justin, Lisa, Jake, Maxwell, Cammy, Thunder, and Chase Smith (May 2017)
We have known Dr. Brad for several years now. His love for animals is evident in all he does. We know that without a doubt, our dogs and cats receive the best care with a kind, patient touch. His work ethic and integrity surpasses all others along with a knowledge of animals that never fails to amaze us. After another vet misdiagnosed our cat's infection, Dr. Brad's diagnosis and treatment was just what our cat needed! We are thankful to still have Thunder today. Whether doing the math for a prescription to be made specifically for one of our pets, following up on how our pets are doing or answering the phone in a time of need, he is always there for all of us.
The Hills (May 2017)
I am a wife, the mother of two boys, and I also work full-time. Vet Partners and Dr. Brad, in particular, have been a blessing to my family and to our beloved senior cat, Harley. With hectic work, school and after-school schedules, finding enough time to take Harley to the vet has always been a challenge. As Harley has aged, his ability to handle the stress of the car rides and the chaos of the veterinarian's office has significantly diminished. At the same time, his need for vigilant health care has increased.
We have found Dr. Brad to be a very good veterinarian. He and his team are professional, knowledgeable, punctual, kind and patient with both Harley and his humans. The fact that Vet Partners comes to our home is an incredible bonus. When I weigh in the time-saving factor and convenience of this mobile service, I think we come out ahead cost-wise.
Our family feels very fortunate to have Vet Partners taking care of our precious kitty.
Vic and Sharon Conner (July 2017)
We sincerely Thank Dr. Brad Dalrymple and his assistant Bret for their professionalism and compassion when caring for our beloved Callie. Unfortunately she had to be put to rest. Their caring attitude made it much easier on us to lose our old friend. If/when we get another pet he will be our 1st choice for a Veterinarian to care for that pet.
Laurence and Riley (July 2017)
Couldn't be more thankful! Regarding July 3rd surgery on Riley; I contacted Dr. Brad regarding a serious issue my 10 year old male American Rednose Pitbull had developed. I had made what I now consider a mistake, of never having had my best buddy neutered. Unfortunately, this puts a male dog at risk, especially later in life. Dr. Brad went above and beyond to make sure I was aware of all the potential risks we could be facing with my best buddy Riley the pitbull. Between myself, my budget, and Dr. Brad's recommendations, we formed a plan of action. A biopsy following surgery was going to complete the picture of just how bad off Riley likely was. With luck on our side, combined with Dr. Brad's expertise, Riley is now living a much more comfortable life with improved activity/energy and even alertness. Its now up to mother nature how long we really still have. Considering how things were looking, I'm very hopeful that Riley's life clock now has more time left on it than we initially thought possible.
Dr. Brad and his assistant Brett were initially called, along with other Vets, because I knew my dog was in need of surgery. Also, because my dog has spent his life mainly in very close proximity to me, in a very quiet home. I had big concerns about taking him to a strange location with potentially scary smells and sounds. Some years ago, I had an elderly dog pass away at a Vet's office among strangers. This left me with certain regrets due to the clarity of "Hindsight". As well, after Dr. Brad spent more time counseling me and answering all my questions than other Vet office's had done, I knew choosing this option was without question right for us.
Choosing Dr. Brad and his assistant Brett, is now my default choice in any and all future Vet care needs. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend this Veterinary mobile unit team, to anyone in need of a vet. You simply can not go wrong with these guys.
A big thank you to Dr. Brad and Brett!
The Mancells (June 2017)
My family and I are so very thankful to Dr. Brad. Our 18 year old cat that we love so much absolutely had to be put down on fathers day, yesterday. Dr.Brad came all the way to north phoenix and had to take a break from his lovely day and family to help us through this process and he did so with no hesitation. We are extremely thankful. Your such an amazing Dr. and we will continue to use your services. Your truly an amazing person, you can tell your heart is in your job. I don't know how you do it. But I love that we have strong people who can. Once again thank you so much from the Mancell family for helping us through this process especially on a holiday! Your amazing.
Dave (June 2017)
I highly recommend Dr Brad and Brett. They have been out to take care of our 5 dogs a couple times now. He is extremely caring, patient, and friendly. My dogs get very excited to see him and actually run into his Van to greet him. Dr Brad always followed up within a couple days of his visit to make sure everyone is still good or if we had any questions. Especially for the convenience of them coming to my home and the care my pets receive (and look forward too), I wont go to anyone else !!
Thanks Doc !! :)
Erin G. (June 2017)
Dr. Brad is a compassionate and caring veterinarian....we are so happy we found him! He is very knowledgable, buthe also has the ability to explain things in a way that is understandable. He and his technician Brett took care of our older dog Lucy yesterday and we could not be happier. She was actually wagging her tail at them when they brought her in after a long surgery! If you are looking for a veterinary team who will care for your pets as if they were their own, you have found it!
Robin and Kerry (May 2017)
We first met Dr. Brad almost one year ago when our cat was very sick and our regular vet wasn't in. Being overprotective pet parents we reluctantly agreed to see him that day. Boy, are we ever glad we did! He was wonderful! Not only is he knowledgeable but he really takes the time to listen, can explain things in a way that is easy to understand and is always willing to go the extra mile for his patients. He is very compassionate in his treatment of the animals as well as the people! He treats everyone like family and always has the animals best interest at heart. Dr. Brad truly cares about his patients and always follows up in the days following the appointment to see how things are going. We love Dr. Brad and are so excited that we met him that day. We are so happy that he has the mobile clinic now as it makes appointments so much more convenient and less stressful for our entire family!
Willow & Jill (March 2017)
Hi, I'm Willow, a seven year old, Morgan mare. My human originally started acupuncture for my overall health maintenance. However, with Dr. Tavel, I have improved so much more. She has helped me use my front and back legs together in a more cohesive way. I am now comfortable jumping, when I wasn't before, and am much more balanced when I carry my human at the canter. Another fantastic change has been with my hormones. I used to get cramps every 21 days. Of course this looked a lot like colic and used to scare my human, but now all of that is gone. I actually enjoy my treatments and just relax into it as the needles, and Dr. Tavel, do their magic.

Ok here's my ten minutes worth for today! It may run over.
I will continue to answer some of the questions from yesterday. I'm going to write a little about what might possibly influence the songs that I will write and where I get my ideas. Where I get any ideas depends on many things, whereby my life is in a constant state of flux. By that, an idea for a song could come from literally anywhere in my ever changing meandering lifestyle. The great thing about this blogging malarkey, is that the ideas can be documented and worked upon. An ongoing record of progress and the development of songs is an idea that excites me very much.
So, what are the ideas from today then….?
Well I certainly want to write about the technology that I am using at present. I think it will be interesting to see the development of how I refine and the to use of my iPad and macbook for producing, along with iPhone garage band/music memos to get ideas down.
This has made me think about the first song I composed using garage band, about four years ago………
It has got to be the cheesiest thing I've ever produced! I can remember thinking it sounded like a theme tune from a 1970's american cop show; how I laughed at the result of using pretty much as many auto-preset functions to produce the song. I wondered what the first takers of others using garage band sounded like. In what way would they be similar and in what way would they be different? So lets run with this idea! I need to learn how to use this site partly as a forum for garage band first takers? I would love to hear of peoples experience using the application, in particular what their first song sounded like……..
More tomorrow!

North Broadway Church © | 6 NORTH STREET EAST, TILLSONBURG ON 519.688.5959
Nursery (Birth to Age 4)
Our warm & caring nursery workers are there to welcome your children from birth to age 2. You can know that your children will be well looked after while you join in worship. Plan to arrive a few minutes early in order to acquaint our caregivers with your children.
A separate, private room is available for nursing mothers to use.
Preschool, Kindergarten & Beyond
Children are naturally curious and love to explore the world around them. As boys and girls hear about God, and have first hand experiences with loving, caring adults who introduce Jesus continually, life-long foundations of faith are laid. Our preschool programs are designed to help children grow in God and teach them biblical truths at their level.
When and Where
Our nursery and preschool rooms are located in the hallway just off of the main lobby.
Nursery is available during our morning worship service (10:30am).
Children start out with their parents during our main worship service time and then those ages 2 to grade 6 are dismissed partway through the service to participate in their own junior & kids church program, geared for their age, which takes place in Nursery 3.
Your Children's Safety is Important to Us
In order to ensure the safety of all children in our care, we ask that children be dropped off by a parent/guardian outside of their classroom. You will need to sign them in when you drop them off, and then sign them out when you pick them up.
