Stay Free! Daily reprints an article from the Wall Street Journal on how the editors of scientific journals published by Thomson Scientific are coercing authors to include more citations to articles published by Thomson Scientific:
Dr. West, the Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Physiology at the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, is one of the world's leading authorities on respiratory physiology and was a member of Sir Edmund Hillary's 1960 expedition to the Himalayas. After he submitted a paper on the design of the human lung to the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, an editor emailed him that the paper was basically fine. There was just one thing: Dr. West should cite more studies that had appeared in the respiratory journal.
If that seems like a surprising request, in the world of scientific publishing it no longer is. Scientists and editors say scientific journals increasingly are manipulating rankings — called "impact factors" — that are based on how often papers they publish are cited by other researchers.
"I was appalled," says Dr. West of the request. "This was a clear abuse of the system because they were trying to rig their impact factor."

I was, but I forgot...
25th January 2009, 1:36 AM
I love Chatot/Perap <3
25th January 2009, 1:40 AM
Wigglytuff is obviously the best one, and not just because he's the Guild Leader xD
25th January 2009, 1:48 AM
Other than Wiglytuff, Loudred. I love how he gets mad at you for oversleeping on your first day.
Sapphire Phoenix
25th January 2009, 2:00 AM
Chatot since he overreacts a lot.
Dragon Rules
25th January 2009, 2:20 AM
Wigglypuff and Chatot are my favorite,those two can always make you laugh.=D
25th January 2009, 3:20 AM
Wigglytuff is funnah
25th January 2009, 4:09 AM
Chatot for me whenever he gets surprised he "Squawks" lol.
Shadow Tepi 8
25th January 2009, 4:29 AM
Wigglytuff and Chatot are my favourites. YOOM-TAH! :)
25th January 2009, 10:47 AM
I love how erratic/random Wiggly is. I also like it when Chatot accidently reveals what he is thinking and is unaware of what he did. ;123;
25th January 2009, 10:56 AM
Chatot and you should have added a poll.
25th January 2009, 11:12 AM
Chatot and Corphish. I like Chatot's habit of overreacting, and I like Corphish for his little character trait; "Hey hey hey!"
Dragon Chimchar
25th January 2009, 12:17 PM
i love Loudred cause hes always shouting
i like Wigglytuff to cause hes so funny
Excitable Boy
25th January 2009, 7:12 PM
Hooray for sea-obsessed fathers.
Penguinist Trainer
25th January 2009, 7:17 PM
Loudred has to be the best one, just by how he wakes you up every day.
25th January 2009, 7:22 PM
Chatot! Because I find him very funny throughout the game.
26th January 2009, 5:46 AM
Wigglytuff gets the cake
26th January 2009, 7:01 AM
I always liked Sunflora for being so kind in the beginning, Wigglytuff I liked more towards the end being so kind saying everyone has a purpose and how he would be sad if the team left. :] Plus he is funny at times. Poor Chatot isn't given as much credit in the game as he should. :/
26th January 2009, 5:35 PM
Chatot and Wigglytuff. Chatot's so overreactive and I have just two words to give my reason for Wigglytuff. YOOM-TAH!
27th January 2009, 6:42 AM
Wigglytuff is obviously the best one, and not just because he's the Guild Leader xD
So true.
...You meanie.
Sniff...sob...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH H!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *causes explosions*
27th January 2009, 7:00 AM
Its probobly between Chatot and Loudred....
Chatot is just one of my favorite pokemon... and he seems like an awesome partner.
And loudred is such an awesome pokemon and hes halarious too...
27th January 2009, 7:45 AM
Loudred, due to the fact that he's the most annoying character ever.
And by golly, Bidoof comes in second.
Wigglytuff FTW!
28th January 2009, 10:16 PM
Well, it was a tough one, but my 3 favorites are Biddof, Corphish and of course, Wigglytuff. Biddof, cuz he's just cool, no further explanation needed. Corphish, cuz, hey, hey, hey! He doesn't get enough credit. And Wigglytuff, same reason as for Biddof.
28th January 2009, 11:32 PM
Wigglytuff! He's so funny! YOOM-TAH!
lunar spirit1100
29th January 2009, 12:07 AM
Wigglytuff has to be my favourite; It was so funny when he got mad, about not getting the Perfect Apples!
29th January 2009, 11:04 AM
Wigglytuff. So awesome! YOOM-TAH!
And by golly Bidoof second. So cute and...sort of cutely stupid. I don't mean that badly.
Protoman EXE
31st January 2009, 4:16 PM
Wigglytuff because he runs the place and takes your money.
1st February 2009, 2:00 AM
I love Chatot and Wigglytuff. Classics.
1st February 2009, 1:59 PM
if i was forced to choose then wigglytuff would bemy option-_-
2nd February 2009, 10:40 PM
Bidoof, because he is a lot like me. the youngest, not very brave and he likes shiny objects (i have ADD, by the way)
3rd February 2009, 6:39 AM
I'm like most others on the thought that Corphish and Wigglytuff were the greatest. X3
3rd February 2009, 8:02 AM
you dare use the great 'YOOM-TAH"!?
but i think chatot is my favourite, hes funny too.
3rd February 2009, 10:24 AM
Definitely Wigglytuff. He's just so awesome.
3rd February 2009, 1:44 PM
I love Chatot and Wigglytuff. Classics.
You are sooo right! I love 'em both, but I also like corphish x3
Wisest Celebi
3rd February 2009, 5:25 PM
Me, myself, and I......
Oh, come on! Wasn't that rich?
You're obviously a guild member too, right?
That means I like me and my partner(s).
4th February 2009, 1:17 PM
My favourites would have to be Sunflora, Chatot and of course Wigglytuff. Sunflora because she's nice and a great personality. Chatot because he is often funny in the games and the way he reacts to surprises. And Wigglytuff mainly because of his bizarre but hilarious actions, the Perfect Apples, the explosions and his "meanie" statement.
Hollyoaks the espeon
4th February 2009, 1:47 PM
I just love Bidoof and Sunflora. they are so cool.
4th February 2009, 2:14 PM
I like Wigglytuff and Chatot. Those two are so funny and entertaining! It's so funny seeing how stupid Wigglytuff can be, and how Chatot must put up with it!
4th February 2009, 4:43 PM
I like them all!!!But my favourites are Chatot,Bidoof & Sunflora!!!
6th February 2009, 12:09 PM
Sunflora, she's so kind and everything. And Chimecho too :)
I don't really like Loudred, however...
8th February 2009, 12:17 AM
Wigglytuff is mine
8th February 2009, 9:58 AM
Mew's desire
9th February 2009, 12:32 AM
Chaatooot!! he's a little bossy, but oh, I like the sound of his wings flapping.
9th February 2009, 1:07 AM
Definitely Chatot. I loooove how he is always dedicated to the Guild Master and is bossy in a funny way! His reaction to when he realized there were more members on the expedition list was HILARIOUS! "(Hmm, the Guild Master's writing is hard to read...)" lol. Every time he overreacts or gets embarrassed or laughs at the same time crying when he has absolute fear is AWESOME! imoXD
10th February 2009, 12:43 PM
Dugtrio, he has a love for the sea
10th February 2009, 3:26 PM
That's actually a good question...
I don't think I have a favorite guild member, unfortunately.
Short Wing
10th February 2009, 5:03 PM
Sunflora!!! She's so goofy and lovable.
12th February 2009, 12:43 AM
Me because i'm part of the guild!
Just kidding.
Wigglytuff and Chatot. Wigglytuff because he's cool and makes everything funny such as getting angry. Chatot because he tops a lot and he can fly!!!
12th February 2009, 5:22 PM
My answer must be............................ Wigglytuff;040;. He's just so cute:D!
13th February 2009, 2:15 AM
Wigglytuff. I found him so hilarious, espcially when he said, "YOOM-TAH!"
Everyone else didn't really affect me when compared to Wigglytuff. :/
22nd February 2009, 6:49 AM
I have to say Wigglytuff, is funny when chatot fears what can happen if he dont eat Perfect Apples ;040;
22nd February 2009, 6:58 AM
Loudred was the most annoying, that's for sure.
I got tired of the 'WAKE UPPP' after every mission, after two missions, not to mention that some days that we didn't even do anything...
My favorite would probably be Chimecho.
He's the only one I talk to after the game.
We're bffs nao. srsly guiz
22nd February 2009, 7:19 AM
Wigglytuff...I love him.
And Sunflora her diary is soooo like totally funny.
Selfdestruct Togepi
22nd February 2009, 11:55 AM
My favorite would probably be Chimecho.
He's the only one I talk to after the game.
Actually she's a girl poke'mon, but don't worry becuse it's hardly ever mentioned.
For me its lord Bidoof.
22nd February 2009, 1:04 PM
Wigglytuff by a mile.Its so funny when he's making faces at Team Skull. :]
23rd February 2009, 12:08 AM
Wigglytuff by far. I love Wigglytuff's obssesion with perfect apples, it's so funny.
24th February 2009, 2:22 AM
Hmm... I must say, like almost everyone else, I've got to go with Wigglytuff. Friendly, funny, random, and such an upbeat character deserves that much attention. <3 Him and his much-loved Perfect Apples...
I also like Chimecho, though... always thought she was so kind and sweet--plus she runs the Team Recruitments.
25th February 2009, 6:46 PM
Wigglytuff and Chatot!
That's all <3
25th February 2009, 7:02 PM
heh wigglytuff because he can be so random
and bidoof i dunno why..but hes cute
26th February 2009, 4:29 AM
I'd have to say Wigglytuff. Because of his complete randomness, and he always struck me as weak, then he was super powerful, then when I had to fight him, he was weak.
26th February 2009, 5:21 PM
Bidoof, hopefully he'll evolve in/before the sequel.
27th February 2009, 11:33 PM
Chimecho she was the one you can rely on to put Pokemon in your team into your rescue team.
28th February 2009, 4:58 AM
Wigglytuff definetly.
Probably because he needs perfect apples to bounce on his head. you never see him eat them so surely he only needs one
fire fan 888
28th February 2009, 2:38 PM
wigglytuff. he makes the game funny
1st March 2009, 9:31 PM
Chimecho and Bidoof. Something about them was just....better than the others in my eyes. Though if it came down to it, Bidoof is my all time favorite between the two of them.
6th March 2009, 1:08 AM
For me, Wigglytuff, Chatot, and Bidoof. Wiggly and Chatot are self-explanatory. Bidoof mainly because of his 6th Chapter diary entry. If you read it, you know what I'm talking about. ;)
6th March 2009, 7:59 PM
If your talking about anyone that lives in the guild, it's Wigglytuff.
If you mean members, maybe Sunflora?
10th March 2009, 8:06 PM
My favorite is Chatot(im call Perap).
Because he(or she¬¬) is cute *-*
another I like is Chimecho.
11th March 2009, 7:01 PM
I think my fav character is Wigglytuff or Chimecho. Wigglytuff because of his randomness and Chimecho cuz shes cute :3 BTW. I think Chimecho is in love with Wigglytuff >.<

September 2016 - Norwegian Escape to Caribbean - Eastern
Beautiful ship. Loved the ropes course. Felt a bit crowded.
The ship was very nice and spotless. The dining selection was great and there were plenty of bars. The staff was both friendly and professional. The ropes course and water slides were fun. We won't sail on a ship this size again any time soon. For the first time in many cruises we felt crowded. The fitness facility and pools were too small for a large ship.

Stanley E. Hubbard was a pilot who started one of the first commercial airlines in the world in 1921. His novel idea of offering hourly flights from New York to destinations such as Atlantic City and Washington, at $25 and $50 a pop, caught on 70 years too late for his airline, which went bust. So he turned to a different business, launching radio station WAMD (Where All Minneapolis Dances) in 1925 and branching into television in the late 1930s. In 1981, at the age of 84, he finally turned Hubbard Broadcasting Co. over to his son, Stanley S. Hubbard.
The son quickly made his own mark as an innovator, founding U.S. Satellite Broadcasting Corp. in 1981. He took USSB public in 1996 and sold it in 1999 to
Now 77, Stanley S. has turned day-to-day management of his broadcasting empire over to four of his children. Meanwhile, for his new business, he has returned to his father's and his own passion: flying. (He has been a licensed pilot since 1954.)
But instead of serving common travelers Hubbard is aiming at owners of private jets. His Hubbard Aviation Technologies makes hush kits, which muffle engine noise, allowing older Gulfstream turbojets to meet sound requirements being phased in at airports around the world.
Hubbard became interested in hush kits back in 1999, when he tried to upgrade his own GII and GIII turbojets from Stage 2 noise status to Stage 3, which is now required across much of Europe and at a third of U.S. airports. (Newer jets, including Gulfstream's GIV and GV, are built to Stage 3 standards.)
Hubbard spends 200 hours a year traveling in his old Gulfstreams. (He doesn't pilot jets himself.) So he ordered a hush kit from a company called Stage3. Months went by, then years, but the kit never came. The company told Hubbard that it was just behind schedule. In fact, it was undercapitalized and finally went out of business. "These guys just couldn't get things done," Hubbard laments.
Knowing there were other Gulfstream owners in the same fix, Hubbard saw an opportunity. In 2008 he acquired all of the defunct company's patents--technology that Hubbard says took $40 million to develop--for just $200,000.
Part of the kit, called a QS3, features a titanium nozzle that attaches to the back of a GII or GIII
Is this really a viable business or just a lark for a man who loves planes and is worth $1.9 billion? After all, the QS3 costs $2 million and a used GII runs only $750,000.
Hubbard insists he can make a profit, particularly if Congress requires all airports to meet Stage 3 noise standards. While legislation has been kicking around Capitol Hill for years, Hubbard Aviation President Bernie Weiss says its chances are improving. "If this legislation doesn't come through, I think it's going to be quite a struggle for Hubbard," warns Michael Chase, president of Chase & Associates, a Dallas aviation consulting firm.
Moreover, Hubbard has competition. Of the 450 GIIs and GIIIs still flying, 77 already have hush kits installed by Quiet Technology Airspace of Opa-Locka, Fla. QTA sells its product for $1.1 million, 45% less than Hubbard, who has yet to sell anything. "We're beating them 77 to zero," says Ben B. Brown, vice president of QTA. "To me, we're not competing."
Nevertheless, Hubbard insists his product will eventually win out on quality and looks. "I could have bought their product back when I started looking into this, but I didn't because it's a piece of junk,'' he says of QTA's kit. Even if Hubbard takes over the field, the business has a natural sunset because of the limited number of GIIs and GIIIs still flying. He prefers to see the upside: a product with potential sales of $600 million over its life cycle.
After that? "When we finish with those aircraft, we'll see if this leads somewhere else," he says. Hubbard might well have plenty of time. Stanley E., he of the bargain New York airfares, stuck around for 95 years.

|Explanations of the symbols
|Chart of the moment
I. Introduction
This is a short extract from Liz Greene's Psychological Horoscope Analysis. The complete report of 18-25 pages can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound booklet in the Astroshop.This horoscope analysis - using the insights of astrology and psychology combined with the tools of advanced computer technology - offers you an astrological portrait which is uniquely and individually focussed and which aims at providing greater self-knowledge.
II. Your Psychological Type
This short chapter describes your typical or characteristic way of responding to situations in life.The rich array of individual attributes portrayed in your birth horoscope is set, as it is with everyone, against the backdrop of a certain temperament bias. We might call this bias your psychological "type".
You are one of life's true romantics, because your reality is the inner world of fantasy and imagination. The limitations of daily life can bore you, and you try at every available opportunity to inject into mundane situations a note of the mythic and the meaningful. However, your romanticism is constantly being challenged by another side of your personality: your fear of disruption to your material security. Although you dislike being tied to routines which seem inconsequential and stifling, [...]
[..] Your need to express your creative imagination through relationships with others may cause you to fear the cold self-sufficiency that situations sometimes demand of you. Occasionally too empathetic and idealistic for your own good, you have difficulty in drawing boundaries [...]
III. Character and Shadow
In this comprehensive chapter of the Psychological Horoscope Liz Greene provides valuable insights about your essential character traits.The interplay between the conscious and unconscious sides of you is a constantly shifting dance, changing at different stages of your life and altering according to the pressures and challenges which you encounter. The tension between the primary characters in your inner drama is the source of energy which provides your life with movement, purpose, conflict and growth.
[..] If you are an artist, you will be dissatisfied with everything you produce, always striving for some flawless reflection of your immaculate inner vision; and even if you are not preoccupied with creative pursuits, but deal in numbers or technology or research (which become [...]
[..] There is considerable sensuousness in your strongly aesthetic nature, but it is not the indulgent sensuality of more earthy types; it is more a sort of wallowing in beauty for beauty's sake, and you can sit and stare at someone or something that appeals to your senses and [...]
Hidden traits
[..] This hidden dimension of your personality contains all that you have excluded from your conscious values and behaviour in order to pursue your higher ideals; it encompasses the domain of your body, your sensual nature and the repressed materialism which you prefer not to [...]
A minor character
[..] You are a sensitive and idealistic person who is not wholly comfortable within the limits and boundaries of material life; for, like Plato, you crave the Good, the True and the Beautiful - and if you are unable to find glimpses of your dream amidst the mundane circumstances [...]
IV. The Family Background
In the complete horoscope analysis, this chapter deals with your family myths as well as with your perception of your parents and their relationship.Although you are an individual, you have emerged from a family background. Thus you contain certain inner patterns, myths and attitudes toward life which you have acquired from the psychological soil of this background.
V. Relationship Patterns
This chapter describes attitudes, needs and characteristic patterns in close one-to-one relationships.Both astrology and psychology teach us that nothing that occurs within a relationship is chance. Your birth horoscope describes what you are like inside, and therefore what kind of patterns, needs and compulsions you are likely to bring into your relationships with others.
Your intellectual and aesthetic gifts form one of the most interesting and attractive dimensions of your personality. They also tend to make you a little precious, because you want your world to be perfect and orderly and beautiful; and the result of this is that you are inevitably attracted to a more primitive type of partner, perhaps less articulate and not so well educated, but nevertheless warmer, more uninhibited, more honest, and more direct. Such a relationship can work very well for you, [...]
You have very high ideals in matters of love, and they are ethical as well as romantic. This means that you are not only seeking a vision of perfect harmonious union; it also means that you believe in fairness, kindness and courtesy, and genuinely try to treat your partner [...]
VI. Paths toward Integration
The final chapter of the Psychological Horoscope Analysis contains insights into the potential for growth as shown in your birth chart.The following paragraphs provide some suggestions of ways in which conscious effort might make it possible for you to achieve greater harmony between the different components within yourself, and to strengthen that centre of the personality which psychology calls the ego, the "I".
These small samples from different chapters convey an impression of your personal Psychological Horoscope which comprises 18 - 25 pages. It can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or bound booklet in the Astroshop. Please read a complete sample report (of a different person) to get an overview of the extent of the complete horoscope.You may wish to take a look at the large selection of other reports.

"My 4 yr old paint mare had blood mixed with her urine on the stall floor this a.m."…,"he pees he presses it right up against his stomach, resulting in him peeing all over his stomach."
I have a 4 year old gelding, who has a nasty habit."…
Ever since he was a yearling, when he pees he presses it right up against his stomach, resulting in him peeing all over his stomach. Sometimes he manages to hit his elbow, resulting in pee streaming down his leg. It's especially bad in the winter as he "freezes". Grooming him I have to try and curry out frozen pee icicles. He has no problem walking around all loose and dangly, but to pee he barely extracts at all. His sheath is clean, and I've had the vet look at him twice with no findings. I'm just not sure if there could be an underlying, possibly difficult to to detect or easy to miss problem…or if he's just lazy. He's a pinto, who's belly, sides and legs are white, unfortunately, and all of this stains him instantly….and can't be good for his skin or coat. Any suggestions you may have would be appreciated as I'm at a loss with this. Thanks!
Dr. Kimberly Gryl's Answer:
I am sorry to hear of your gelding's strange urination habit. Unfortunately, I am also sorry to tell you that I don't have any solutions for it. Yes, you are correct to worry about his urinating on himself. Urine scalds the skin, eventually can burn him, cause hair loss, and possibly scarring if chronic enough (depending upon how concentrated the urine is). His problem is an uncommon one. Do you find that he masturbates in association with urination? It may be worth asking your regular veterinarian if any type of specialist may be of help. I wish I could give you more. In the meantime, you may try applying vaseline to his belly bottom to prevent urine from contacting his skin or trailing forward toward his elbows. While this can be messy, it may save his skin. Good luck.
"My 4 yr old paint mare had blood mixed with her urine on the stall floor this a.m."…
I never owned a mare before, always geldings. Is this normal? What causes it? Should I be alarmed?
Dr. Kimberly Gryl's Answer:
Blood in the urine can come from an infection or inflammation anywhere in the urinary tract, or bleeding near the outlet of the urine stream (vulva). Blood-colored urine can also come from muscle breakdown. In this case, it is not true blood, but rather the breakdown of the muscle tissue being processed by the kidneys and discoloring the urine. Either way, it is never normal. You should tell your veterinarian examine her, and could potentially gain a lot of information from a blood test and urine analysis. Good luck.
"Last winter, and now again this winter, he is having blood in his urine. "…
I have had my horse 2 years. Last winter, and now again this winter, he is having blood in his urine. I have treated with penicillin, and it went away for the winter last year, but this year it's not going away. I don't have a trailer to carry him to the vet. Is there something else I can try? He seems fine otherwise…eating well, having BMs just fine…being sassy with me for treats (apple slices). I have him home on straight pasture and hay only, no grain. I do have a mineral block that he hardly ever touches.
Dr. Kimberly Gryl's Answer:
It would be good to run a blood test and a urine analysis on your horse. Your regular veterinarian can come out and collect those samples and run them in a laboratory. It is not generally a wise idea to start on medication without an exam, as all medications are not indicated for all problems. Hopefully you can find a veterinarian to come out and give your horse attention. Good luck.
"I have an 8-year-old gelding that is urinating up to 4 times an hour "…
We had his urine tested and there is no concentrate to it. We run barrels on him and he is just not working well either. One other thing when he gets in the trailer he jumps in with his back feet like a rabbit, both back feet at the same time. Could you please help this is my daughter's horse and we have rodeos coming up and need to find out what is going on?
Dr. Jack Sales' Answer:
Hi Stephanie,
If your horse is not able to concentrate his urine and is going so often it is usually indicative of a kidney problem. This could be due to something in his diet or some other cause and sometimes a urinary tract infection can also be the cause of this type of problem. It looks like a more complete exam by your Veterinarian involving blood work and a follow up urinalysis with a culture and sensitivity would be in order. I hope you will be able to get down to the exact cause and then be able to treat and correct the problem.
"My 7-year-old gelding QH is stretching out to urinate, after some time he urinates but he doesn't drop. His urine dribbles out. "…
Our vet did exam and blood and urine test and all is normal. No sand in manure. No sign of colic. This started around 3 weeks ago. Checked for bean – none; cleaned sheath which was very dirty. No sign of infections. Please help – my 12-year-old daughter is worried about her horse.
Dr. Jack Sales' Answer:
Hi Patty,
It sounds as if you have checked your horse out pretty completely. I would continue and pursue and answers from your Vet. Other diagnostic tests could be done to try and figure out the problem. It would be difficult for me to guess what the cause may be but since you have checked out the most common causes, at least you have eliminated them as a cause and you can keep looking for another possibility.
"he has been peeing all over himself. And then when he gets done peeing, he just drips urine all over the place. It's constantly running, like a leaky faucet"…
I recently purchased a yearling stud colt about 2 months ago. His testicles will drop a little and disappear, and I understand that. But he is my first stud colt that I am actually raising, and there is something weird happening. I noticed yesterday that he has been peeing all over himself. And then when he gets done peeing, he just drips urine all over the place. It's constantly running, like a leaky faucet. Is this a sign that he is about to drop, or does he have an infection? Oh, the pee looks like water. It doesn't even smell like pee either. Can you tell me what is going on? Thanks, Andrea
Dr. Jack Sales' Answer:
Hi Andrea,
What you are describing is not a normal thing for a colt. It has nothing to do with his dropping. He either has an infection or some other form of cystitis (inflammation of the urinary bladder or urinary system). I would suggest a Veterinary exam as soon as you can.
"My 7yo mare has started urinating quite frequently…"
My 7 year old mare has started urinating quite frequently when riding and after. I kept her in overnight to monitor her but she only did her "usual". She seems well in herself. Could it be the weather change or something like that?
Dr. Jack Sales' Answer:
Hi Amy,
It sounds as if your 7 year old mare has come into season possibly. During the spring of the year, mature mares will begin coming into their regular estrous cycles. One of the signs that they show when they are in "heat" is that they will squat and pass urine frequently. This is normally done when they are around stallions or sometimes geldings, but it can be a behavior that they will exhibit more readily while being ridden. I have a feeling that this is the most possible cause of your problem. Some mares will stay in heat for prolonged periods during the first part of the spring, but later in the spring and summer they will usually just be in heat 5 days out of 21. If this problem does not resolve or gradually decrease, you may want to notify your Veterinarian to have her checked out.
"When my colt urinates it looks like it comes right from his belly…"
I have a newborn colt. He has no infection, it just looks like when he urinates it comes right from his belly. I have been told not to worry but new moms always do.
Dr. Cheryl Rahal's Answer:
If your colt is urinating from his umbilical stump, he needs to be seen by a veterinarian immediately. This condition is called a patent urachus. The urachus is the part of the umbilical cord that the embryo urinates out of and is supposed to seal down and become the bladder. When it does not seal down, it is because of infection and an infected belly button can cause serious and life threatening disease. Sometimes the patent urachus can resolve with antibiotics and some times they required surgical correction. There's a reason mothers worry. Follow your instincts.

Town plans for Schlumberger land
Updated 9:25 pm, Friday, January 18, 2013
RIDGEFIELD -- The Board of Selectmen wants to build homes on some of its Schlumberger land.
The board now just has to figure out what kind of homes and how many of them.
Toward that end, the selectmen voted Wednesday to spend $10,000 to have the Avon-based consulting group Planimetrics draw up a plan for the 10 acres of Schlumberger land.
The selectmen may meet with Planimetrics to talk about concepts for the property.
"We want to create something that's aesthetically pleasing," said First Selectman Rudy Marconi at the selectman's meeting Wednesday at Town Hall. "The aesthetics will dictate what you do there, rather than zoning."
In December 2011, the town voted to spend $7 million to buy the 45-acre Schlumberger-Doll Research center property in the center of town.
By owning it, the selectmen argued, the town would be able to control what was built there, rather than seeing a developer come in and build hundreds of condominium units.
The town was in discussion for most of 2012 with an art collector who wants to buy the most important buildings on the property and the land around them to house his collection.
Marconi said this week that the discussion is ongoing.
The town now is looking at developing 10 acres of the property along Sunset Lane. It always said, in buying the land, it hoped to build apartments and small homes there.
An environmental study of on-site pollution has cleared the 10-acre parcel for construction.
But rather than just sell the land to a developer, the selectmen want to have some say on what's built there. Hence, the idea to hire Planimetrics -- the company that helped write the town Plan of Conservation and Development -- to offer advice.
Glen Chalder, Planimetric's president, said Thursday that because of the land's configuration and the wetlands on the site, only about four of the 10 acres can be used for building.
Given the town's traditions, he said, it seems unlikely it would allow a developer to simply cram a lot of housing units onto those four acres.
At Wednesday's meeting, Marconi said it might be best for the selectmen and Chalder to sit down together and discuss how the land can be used.
"He's got some ideas he wants to present to us," Marconi said.
Selectman Andrew Bodner asked if one of those idea might be to add additional land to the 10 acres.
"Can we look at something broader?" Bodner asked. "The object here is to maximize the value of the land for the town."

I've always longed know how to fly. Planes and jets have never cut it. I wanted to be Superman, minus the tights and alien heritage. Enter, the Rocketeer, the dream job for a daydreamer like myself. No tights, human parents and a jet pack that sends you soaring. Joe Johnston's The Rocketeer is steeped in fantasy and nostalgia, targeting the dreamers like myself. While the film succeeds in being a fun romp, it does little to go beyond it. While The Rocketeer never crashes, it's a bumpy ride of cartoonish characters, a flimsy plot and an overall sense of letdown.
Cliff (Billy Campbell) is a down-on-his-luck pilot whose fortunes are turned by a convenient encounter with fate. After stumbling his way into a fancy prototype jet pack, Cliff transforms himself into the Rocketeer, a bumbling human superhero who finds himself in the middle of a dastardly involving gangsters, movie stars and general global wartime nastiness.
Director Joe Johnston steeps The Rocketeer in an old-time feel. The look, the language and the fast-moving turns make for a modern serial squished into one feature-length piece of escapist cinema. The construction of the intricate sets and period costumes are the highlight of the film, adding eye candy to a film that's surprisingly restrained in its special effects.
Actually, seeing LOST's John Locke (Terry O'Quinn) as Howard Hughes was a lot of fun too.
My biggest problem with The Rocketeer was its reliance on fluff and genre conventions. Although something of a modern mash-up of old-time serials, there's not much depth to any of it, even as a piece of disposable cinema. This came back to me after watching it for the first time since I saw it in the theater as a teenager. Despite seeing it and collecting the cards, not much stuck with me other than the iconic Rocketeer helmet and costume. It was one of those movies I know I'd seen but not much stuck with me. Even after a second viewing, I doubt I'll remember much six months from now.
Johnston and company crafted a film that's fun while it lasts, but it fails to launch itself into greatness. Flying people, rocket packs, zany action — these are all things I generally love. However The Rocketeer ultimately fails to bring them together.
The Rocketeer Blu-ray Review
A very straight-forward release, Disney's 20th anniversary Blu-ray is something of a disappointment. While the film's 1080p high definition transfer is solid in most spots, it's the lack of extra features that makes it so boring. For a release marketing itself as an anniversary edition, one would expect something special, especially considering the respectful following the film has built over the years. Instead, the only bonus content is a full screen trailer. Audio is in 5.1 DTS-HD MA with option English and French subtitles.

Survey, Europeans Fear Refugees Will Heighten Terror Threat
by Felix Richter, Statista.com
-- this post authored by Niall McCarthy
Europe is on edge after a spate of terrorist attacks in Germany and France last month.
The worst of these occurred in Nice, France, when a 19 tonne truck was deliberately driven into crowds celebrating Bastille Day, killing 84 people and injuring over 300 more. Germany had to deal with several incidents soon afterwards, including an axe attack carried out by an Afghan refugee on a train in Würzburg and a suicide bombing outside a wine bar in Ansbach. In that case, the bomber was identified as a Syrian refugee who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.
Shortly before the attack in Nice, Pew Research released a report revealing that Europeans fear the wave of refugees will result in more terrorism. In eight out of 10 nations surveyed, at least half of respondents believed that the refugee influx would make terrorism more likely. Concern was highest in Hungary where 76 percent of people felt refugees would result in more terror. In Germany and France, where the recent attacks occurred, levels of concern were at 61 and 46 percent respectively.
This chart shows responses on whether refugees will cause people to fear a higher likelihood of terrorism in their country.
You will find more statistics at Statista.

Facial Bone Decrease Contributes To Looking Old
Achieving Facial Symmetry with Chin Augmentation
They say that beauty is in the eye of beholder, but when it comes to facial beauty, scientists have actually narrowed the definition of beauty down to something much more measurable – symmetry. By studying photos of faces and ranking them from least attractive to most attractive, researchers found that the perception of beauty increased as the symmetry of facial features increased.
One of the most measurable facial features is the symmetry between the projection of the chin and the projection of the forehead. More on Chin Augmentation

Four new animal crossings will be built in Kootenay National Park with new funding from the federal government.
Parks Canada announced plans Wednesday afternoon for the new crossings, which will be built just north of the Dolly Varden day use area. The crossings will cost roughly $10 million.
- Banff bears use Trans-Canada wildlife crossings to find mates
- Highway wildlife crossing a success, finds study
- Banff wildlife could benefit from new crossings
The money will also be used to pay for six kilometres of highway fencing to keep wildlife off the roads.
This is part of what Parks Canada calls "phase two" of a broader plan to reduce the number of animals getting killed or injured by vehicles.
Last year, Parks Canada built three underpasses and constructed five kilometres of of wildlife fencing.
Parks officials say those measures have dramatically reduced wildlife deaths.
The federal government expects construction will be finished on the new crossings and fencing by the end of next year.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the wildlife crossings would go in Kananaskis National Park. They will go in Kootenay National Park.Aug 27, 2014 2:29 PM MT

Teenagers and art mix well together, especially when they are celebrating a worthy cause.
That was the overall consensus at the Thomas A. Wildey School on May 9, as students and volunteers participated in the "My Feelings Are a Work of Art" project.
To recognize May as Mental Health Month, Clermont FAST TRAC created the "My Feelings" project for children to express their emotions and to help them realize many people care about their mental health. The Clermont County Board of Developmental Disabilities (CCDD), Wildey School students, and eighth grade volunteers from the St. Louis School joined together on May 9 to participate in this project to show everyone is important, regardless of their abilities, emotions, or moods.
"Classrooms were given small, cardboard cutouts of people," explained Lisa Davis, CCDD Community Relations Director. "They decorated the cutouts with art supplies, according to the students' feelings and expressions."
St. Louis eighth grade volunteers were paired up with Wildey students, working one-on-one with each other to create a project that came to life throughout the afternoon. Teachers and staff assisted by using pictorial diagrams to help the students choose the emotional design for each cardboard cutout.
"St. Louis has had a long-term relationship with Wildey that helps promote our school's mission," said Beth Weber, eighth grade teacher at St. Louis School, who discussed the "My Feelings" project with her class after returning to their school.
"As I stood there listening to the kids share their stories, I heard compassion and also a sense of pride in being able to help the (Wildey) kids complete their project."
The project sponsor is Clermont FAST TRAC, a system of care initiative of the Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board funded by a grant from the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Clermont FAST TRAC services include promotion, prevention, early identification, and treatment interventions for children aged 3-21 with emotional/behavioral issues and their families.
Artwork from CCDD/Wildey School will be on display at a "My Feelings Are a Work of Art" exhibit later this year, along with projects from other schools and organizations in Clermont County. For more information, visit www.clermontfasttrac.org.

Each month, a visionary group of six formation bloggers blogs about something aviation related, each from their own perspective, for six days straight. Our first series was about how we got into flying. In month two, we discussed our most memorable flights.
As a series, we generally all post the first full week of each month, but this month we are changing it up just a little due to the American Independence Day holiday on July 4th. This month, we are starting a little earlier than usual and changing up the order of bloggers, all so that we can focus on a topic near and dear to all of our hearts – our freedom to fly and it's future in the US. See what we did there? FREEDOM to fly? INDEPENDENCE Day (a celebration of American FREEDOM)?
Okay – so enough with the obvious.
Let's talk about this month's topic – the future of US aviation.
There are so many directions to go on a topic of this magnitude, and I'll start by saying how much I hate predictions. Not because I hate being wrong (that happens CONSTANTLY), but because people make predictions all the time, but rarely revisit their predictions to talk about whether or not they actually happened (and why or why not – which is the more important part, in my opinion). Think New Year's predictions or the stock market financial talking heads. Blech.
That said, I CAN say with relative confidence that the future of aviation is the present. Aviation generally changes SO SLOWLY (dreadfully so), that the things making news today can be confidently predicted to be making news tomorrow. On the negative side – think user fees. We've been fighting user fees pretty much every year and under every president since at least Clinton (and probably before). It's a fight we will continue to have in the future in the US, and it is not a small issue (look at general aviation in many other countries (such as the Netherlands – where the loss of business far outweighed the gain in revenue) and the UK, Germany, etc.) and you'll see that this issue is no small potatoes for us here in the US if we want to maintain our freedom to fly (relatively) affordably.
On the positive side, let's talk technology. Technology has been advancing faster and faster for all of recorded history, and its velocity today is nearly unimaginable. One of the issues US aviation has had (and still has) is safety – how can we continue to improve our safety record? One of the ways this is happening is with "synthetic vision" technology – something like "Head Up Displays" or HUDs, which have been the sole domain of fighter jets for years, but are now making their way into business jets. It's only a matter of time before they become available (and even standard) on GA airplanes. There are already even synthetic vision apps for your phone or tablet!
But now let's focus on something I personally think is inevitable: the greening of US aviation (and aviation in general worldwide). I'm one of those rare birds who is a pilot and an environmentalist (sue me). I've been following with interest the "unleaded avgas" research and experimentation with "mogas" and biofuels, and this is one issue that is not going to go away, no matter how much the industry and alphabet groups (such as AOPA, NBAA, etc.) try to push it off for as many reasons as they can come up with.
For one thing, as the holder of an MBA in entrepreneurship (yet another of my many onion-like layers), I know that business and industry tend to fight change like a cornered animal when that change is being discussed and contemplated (the fighting gets fiercer the closer it is to happening), but I also know that those same businesses and entrepreneurs are the most creative when it comes to ultimately figuring it all out when the change is actually upon them. Regulation for the public good is usually a good thing overall – and business has always (and will always) be the best placed and most motivated to make it work for them – no matter how much they gripe about it.
There are many examples today of ways people are trying to make flying greener – not the least of which is a number of electric aircraft currently traversing the country and the world! Pilot Chip Yates is planning on becoming an electric Charles Lindbergh by flying an electric aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean. Pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg have been flying the Solar Impulse around the world (albeit very slowly), having recently flown from Cincinnati, Ohio to Washington, D.C. (at a whopping 39 knots or so at 10,000 feet). One of Borschberg's statements from the above-linked article struck me, since it speaks to multiple aspects of the greening of aviation in the US:
…Borschberg acknowledged that 100 percent solar-powered airplanes are not normal in day-to-day aviation, he said some of the ideas behind the Solar Impulse could find its [sic] way into general aviation aircraft. "I will see the first [general aviation] electric propulsion coming soon," he predicted. A plus with that: Fewer noise complaints at airports. "This airplane doesn't make any noise," he said.
Electric, nearly noiseless flight is happening now, and will only get better and find its way into our day-to-day flying. But another green idea (that pilots will readily admit, whether they are granola-crunchy or not), is simply increasing the efficiency of aircraft. This can range from "lean-of-peak" operations (sound off in the comments, those of you on both sides of the LoP debate) to new aircraft designs that fly on less than 3 gallons per hour of fuel (that's better than most cars on the road)! Talk about a great way to make less impact on the environment (and less impact on your pocketbook, with avgas reaching into the $6s and higher per gallon)!
So on top of higher efficiency and different power generation, which directly impact the earth and our environment, pilots today (and tomorrow) can also indirectly impact the world both environmentally & socially by flying for non-profits such as Pilots N Paws (pet rescue), Angel Flight (flying medical patients to care), LightHawk (environmental protection through flight), Civil Air Patrol (search & rescue, among other things), Kids in Flight (giving seriously ill children a chance to experience aviation), Angel Flight ( free air transportation for any legitimate, charitable, medically related need), and even mission trip flying (if you're a religious person). This list barely scratches the surface of what good aviation can do in the world, environmentally and socially. I personally think that the above FAR outweighs any bad aviation may do socially or environmentally…
So with that, I'll leave off with with one final prediction about the future of US aviation – and this one is more certain than anything else I've discussed above: that what we do right now to get and keep the next generation interested in aviation is more critical than anything else we can do as pilots and enthusiasts to secure the future of general aviation in the US. One of the upcoming Formation Bloggers – Karlene Pettit – recently wrote a couple of posts speaking to this very thing – one about the upcoming movie Planes, and a more recent one about the upcoming kid's TV show "Airpark" – and this is one of the ways that we can ensure that there will even be pilots in the next generation… popularization of flight has declined ever since its peak with Top Gun, and it's time we bring it back and ensure that US aviation (and aviation across the world) even HAS a future – if the kids don't care, our dwindling population will continue to shrink.
And that would be a great loss of freedom, don't you think?

I don't know why but I have acquired this "fetish" for rubber boots!!
Maybe it's from growing up in Oregon where it rains A LOT and now, living in Texas where it rains VERY LITTLE, it reminds me of my childhood!
Do you remember last year when I took a pair of my husbands old rubber work boots, painted them and turned them into planters…….
…….and this year when I found these lovely beauties at the thrift store and added some faux flowers for the front porch.
They've moved to the side porch as they didn't really go with my theme but I really longed for more boots so, I found the cutest little pair of children's galoshes on Ebay for $3!
Aren't they adorable????!!!!
All I did was add some faux flowers, set them by my message chalkboard and they are perfect!!!!!Continue reading

BUDGET WOES: Wealthy northern member states of the EU are pushing for a harshly pared-down budget for the 27-nation bloc, but the EU parliament says it is ready to reject a deal that curtails spending on growth and employment.
MEMBER DEMANDS: The two-day summit discusses the approximate €1 trillion ($1.35 trillion) budget for the years 2014-2020. Poorer eastern and southern countries want to ensure continued EU financial support.
SETTING PRIORITIES: A senior EU official said some items within the proposed budget will grow, including an effort to combat youth unemployment. Spending on programs meant to ensure future prosperity, such as research and development, education and innovation, will also grow in real terms, the official said.

Key Issues
Value of Trade
The value of trade and continuous export expansion
"Agriculture is the U.S. Foreign Trade Champion"
With nearly 95 percent of the world's consumers living outside the United States, world markets offer momentous growth opportunities for U.S. agriculture. The U.S. Grains Council works to develop export markets for American farmers and agribusinesses. With the most modern, innovative and productive agricultural system in the world, the United States enjoys a longstanding and significant comparative advantage in agricultural trade. As a shining star of U.S. international trade, agricultural exports are increasing profitability for farmers and creating economic activity in rural communities across the country.
