How culture influences health beliefs
How culture influences health beliefs
All cultures have systems of health beliefs to explain what causes illness, how it can be cured or treated, and who should be involved in the process. The extent to which patients perceive patient education as having cultural relevance for them can have a profound effect on their reception to information provided and their willingness to use it. Western industrialized societies such as the United States, which see disease as a result of natural scientific phenomena, advocate medical treatments that combat microorganisms or use sophisticated technology to diagnose and treat disease. Other societies believe that illness is the result of supernatural phenomena and promote prayer or other spiritual interventions that counter the presumed disfavor of powerful forces. Cultural issues play a major role in patient compliance. One study showed that a group of Cambodian adults with minimal formal education made considerable efforts to comply with therapy but did so in a manner consistent with their underlying understanding of how medicines and the body work.
Asians/Pacific Islanders are a large ethnic group in the United States. There are several important cultural beliefs among Asians and Pacific Islanders that nurses should be aware of. The extended family has significant influence, and the oldest male in the family is often the decision maker and spokesperson. The interests and honor of the family are more important than those of individual family members. Older family members are respected, and their authority is often unquestioned. Among Asian cultures, maintaining harmony is an important value; therefore, there is a strong emphasis on avoiding conflict and direct confrontation. Due to respect for authority, disagreement with the recommendations of health care professionals is avoided. However, lack of disagreement does not indicate that the patient and family agree with or will follow treatment recommendations. Among Chinese patients, because the behavior of the individual reflects on the family, mental illness or any behavior that indicates lack of self-control may produce shame and guilt. As a result, Chinese patients may be reluctant to discuss symptoms of mental illness or depression.
Some sub-populations of cultures, such as those from India and Pakistan, are reluctant to accept a diagnosis of severe emotional illness or mental retardation because it severely reduces the chances of other members of the family getting married. In Vietnamese culture, mystical beliefs explain physical and mental illness. Health is viewed as the result of a harmonious balance between the poles of hot and cold that govern bodily functions. Vietnamese don't readily accept Western mental health counseling and interventions, particularly when self-disclosure is expected. However, it is possible to accept assistance if trust has been gained.
Russian immigrants frequently view U.S. medical care with a degree of mistrust. The Russian experience with medical practitioners has been an authoritarian relationship in which free exchange of information and open discussion was not usual. As a result, many Russian patients find it difficult to question a physician and to talk openly about medical concerns. Patients expect a paternalistic approach-the competent health care professional does not ask patients what they want to do, but tells them what to do. This reliance on physician expertise undermines a patient's motivation to learn more about self-care and preventive health behaviors.
Although Hispanics share a strong heritage that includes family and religion, each subgroup of the Hispanic population has distinct cultural beliefs and customs. Older family members and other relatives are respected and are often consulted on important matters involving health and illness. Fatalistic views are shared by many Hispanic patients who view illness as God's will or divine punishment brought about by previous or current sinful behavior. Hispanic patients may prefer to use home remedies and may consult a folk healer, known as a curandero.
Many African-Americans participate in a culture that centers on the importance of family and church. There are extended kinship bonds with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, or individuals who are not biologically related but who play an important role in the family system. Usually, a key family member is consulted for important health-related decisions. The church is an important support system for many African-Americans.
Cultural aspects common to Native Americans usually include being oriented in the present and valuing cooperation. Native Americans also place great value on family and spiritual beliefs. They believe that a state of health exists when a person lives in total harmony with nature. Illness is viewed not as an alteration in a person's physiological state, but as an imbalance between the ill person and natural or supernatural forces. Native Americans may use a medicine man or woman, known as a shaman.
As can be seen, each ethnic group brings its own perspectives and values to the health care system, and many health care beliefs and health practices differ from those of the traditional American health care culture. Unfortunately, the expectation of many health care professionals has been that patients will conform to mainstream values. Such expectations have frequently created barriers to care that have been compounded by differences in language and education between patients and providers from different backgrounds.
Cultural differences affect patients' attitudes about medical care and their ability to understand, manage, and cope with the course of an illness, the meaning of a diagnosis, and the consequences of medical treatment. Patients and their families bring culture specific ideas and values related to concepts of health and illness, reporting of symptoms, expectations for how health care will be delivered, and beliefs concerning medication and treatments. In addition, culture specific values influence patient roles and expectations, how much information about illness and treatment is desired, how death and dying will be managed, bereavement patterns, gender and family roles, and processes for decision making.

Replacement Battery for the Itel P12 (BL-49CI)
This Itel P12 (BL-49CI) Battery Replacement is ideal if your phone is no longer holding charge like it used to. Are you finding your Phone battery has a shorter life than it used to? Is your phone barely holding any charge at all? If either of these sounds familiar then you need a replacement battery. Itel P12 (BL-49CI) is a great phone with great features, but low battery backup time can be really annoying when in need.
When do you know that your Phone battery needs to be replaced?
- Your Phone dies at 20 or 30 percent battery capacity.
- The battery is swollen and pushes the screen out of the frame.
- Your Phone keeps dying faster during the day without recharging.
- The battery fails at a high or low temperature.
Before purchasing a replacement check that no other factors are causing the batteries to decline such as:
- Moving to a low signal area
- Running background applications
- Having 3G, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth enabled when not required
Increase your Itel P12 (BL-49CI) uptime & life with this quality replacement battery. Our specialists will take between 15 and 30 minutes to replace your Phone battery.
An In-Depth Look at Itel P12 (BL-49CI) Battery Replacement
Itel P12 (BL-49CI) is your gadget companion for life's great adventures – from a cross-country road trip to accompanying you to your day job. You may use it to check the weather, scan the headlines, talk with friends and family, boast about new high scores, or for directions to get to a new restaurant. But what happens if you are counting on it and suddenly the battery dies?
You are certain that you charged your phone the night before, and yet the battery just didn't last through the day – leaving you without your go-to method of communication, play, and information. If this happens on a regular basis, you may need Itel P12 (BL-49CI) battery replacement. Read on to find out more.
Must-know Facts About Itel P12 (BL-49CI) Battery Life
The typical Phone battery life varies based on the activities it is being utilized to accomplish. For instance, it averages around 8 hours of talk time or 3G internet connection, or 10 hours of wi-fi or video playback. But it can last through 40 hours of audio or up to 225 hours on standby.
What does this mean? It means that when assessing your Phone battery life, don't immediately assume that it should last a week on a full charge. Take what you use it for and how often you use it into consideration. It may only last a day (or even less), but that doesn't mean it's a bad battery! You can take your device into a Humtech Shop store or a store to test your battery's capacity and verify if it is truly something that needs repair as opposed to a bad charging cable, port, or just overuse.
How Much Does It Cost?
Depending on your chosen method of replacement (see the options below), you may pay anywhere from 1500 to 2500 for Itel P12 (BL-49CI) battery replacement service. Itel offers battery replacement for $79, plus $6.95 shipping and appropriate state tax.
If you believe your battery is just wearing out from age and use, consider taking steps to extend battery life on a daily basis. Simple setting changes like turning down screen brightness or turning on auto brightness will save battery, as will disabling animations and dynamic background screens. Use common sense such as turning wifi and Bluetooth off when they are not in use.
Itel P12 (BL-49CI) Battery Replacement Services
Itel Store Official Repair Service
A certain percentage of Phone devices may seem to have a shorter battery life or need to be charged more often.
If this is the case for you and you bought your phone between September 2020 and January 2021, you may be eligible for the free battery replacement program. Check here for more information.
Otherwise, Itel P12 (BL-49CI) battery is covered under the Limited One Year Warranty only if the defect is due to manufacturing.
If you need to repair/replace the battery of your Phone after one year or because of some accidental damage, you can submit a repair request or speak with an Itel Genius in store or online. The repair will take anywhere between 3-5 business days.
Itel P12 (BL-49CI) Battery Replacement with High Capacity? Turn to CPR!
Itel will only a replace a battery that has fallen below 50% capacity. The same is true of many other smartphone repair stores. If you take your device into a Humtech Shop location, the technicians can give you a free assessment of your Phone battery capacity,
As well as anything else that might be awry or causing you charging and battery life issues. (By the way, Humtech Shop provides all kinds of Phone repairs !)
If you get your battery replaced, ensure that it is a genuine Itel P12 (BL-49CI) battery with high capacity. In other words, stay away from used batteries that sell online for cheap – there's a reason that they are so inexpensive. Your best option is to buy a new battery through Itel or a trusted store like Humtech Shop which offers a limited lifetime warranty on parts.

The Bullish and Bearish Cases for Stocks
The financial news and general stock market sentiment are negative; in a contrarian fashion, that sets the stage for an "unexpected" rally.
The stock market is at an interesting juncture right now as an epic battle between Bulls and Bears has left the market volatile and range-bound since the "flash crash" in early May.
In essence, the Bearish fundamental-analysis case rests on the plentiful evidence that the U.S. economy is tanking: as the economy grinds down, corporate profits will suffer and thus so will stock valuations.
Indeed, a number market observers have been suggesting that the market is setting up for a serious crash.
The Bullish case rests on much less abundant evidence that even as the economy slows, it won't slide into the widely feared "double-dip" recession.
Technical analysts avoid debates about GDP, revenues and profit margins by looking only at charts. To technical analysts, all the important information is reflected in price and indicators. From this point of view, all the millions of investor opinions, convictions and data points are compressed into the market action as traders buy and sell stocks and options.
This makes a certain kind of sense, because the inputs of the U.S. economy and market are so numerous and complex that it is difficult to crunch them all into a coherent "story" about what the future holds. Everything from the yen-dollar currency trade to the price of crude oil to the percentage of S&P 500 corporations' profits that come from overseas sales bears on the economy and the market.
Just as the market crunches all this data and human emotion into price action, charts compress the market action into a visual display of price and indicators.
Given the great economic uncertainty, it is unsurprising that the charts can be interpreted as Bullish or Bearish.
So I've marked up two charts, one displaying the Bearish case and one showing the Bullish case.
As many technical analysts have noted in the past few months, the Bearish case rests on a technical formation called "head and shoulders." I've indicated the left and right shoulders and the "head"—the market top in late April-early May. Technically, a head and shoulders is a topping pattern, meaning that it typically marks a major market top. In theory, now that price has formed the completing right shoulder, the market should fall significantly from here. This is basic technical evidence to support the Bearish "crash" scenario.
But there is other Bearish evidence as well. The blue 50-day moving average line crossed below the red 200-day moving average (MA), a Bearish signal known as "the death cross" because it shows that market momentum is declining.
Even more telling, price has fallen below the critical 200-day MA level. Repeated attempts to regain that level have failed after a few days, a sign of weakness.
The market has also fallen under the shorter-term trendlines of the 50-day and 20-day moving averages—more evidence of a market in decline.
The range-bound trading since early May is thus seen as a period of what is known as distribution--another word for widespread selling by big players.
Key indicators are also signaling a weakened market. The moving average convergence-divergence (MACD) indicator has slipped below the neutral line, marking a bearish trend, and the stochastic has fallen from overbought to oversold, reflecting weakening demand for stocks.
The Bullish case rests on a standard technical pattern which few commentators seem have discerned: a "reverse head and shoulders" in which the low point becomes the head and higher levels form the left and right shoulders.
While this reverse head and shoulders isn't very symmetrical, technical analysts refer to this type of action as a "complex" head and shoulders in which choppy price action is resolved into a general pattern with these key characteristics: the "head" is lower than the left shoulder (previous low) and the right shoulder is higher than both the "head" and the left shoulder.
In other words, the "head" marks a definitive bottom, and the right shoulder is evidence of a new uptrend.
The classic definition of an uptrend is simple: higher highs and higher lows. Both are present in the chart. While Bears see a flat trading range, Bulls see a trading range with an upward bias.
Bulls concede that the moving average convergence-divergence (MACD) line is below the neutral level, but they note it is flattening, which could be setting up a very bullish cross.
Even more telling for the Bulls is the positive divergence in MACD: even as price has traded up and down in a wide range, MACD is working its way higher. This is strong evidence of a market that is slowly working its way into a Bullish stance.
While the stochastic has fallen into oversold levels, the lines have begun to rise and there is some modest positive divergence.
Many observers use sentiment indicators to help identify trends. Right now, sentiment is generally bearish. Contrarians view that as Bullish.
I have been exploring the case for a Bullish turn for the past six weeks, largely based on sentiment and the contrarian notion that when "everyone" expects a market crash, that significantly lessens the probability that the crash will arrive as expected.
Will the Stock Market Crash Before the Mid-Term Elections? (July 19, 2010)

A Note on Sentiment (The Bullish Case for Stocks Part 1) (August 16, 2010)
The Great Disconnect (The Bullish Case for Stocks Part 2) (August 17, 2010)
The market isn't rational; its "job" is to thwart any and all consensus predictions, and take along the fewest possible participants.

American Meb Keflezighi has won the Boston Marathon, a year after a bombing at the finish line left three dead and more than 260 people injured.
Keflezighi is a former New York City Marathon champion and Olympic medalist. He ran the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to the finish on Boylston Street in Boston's Back Bay on Monday in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 37 seconds.
Keflezighi held off Wilson Chebet of Kenya who finished 11 seconds behind. The 38-year-old from San Diego looked over his shoulder several times over the final mile. After realizing he wouldn't be caught, he raised his sunglasses, began pumping his right fist and made the sign of the cross.
No U.S. runner had won the race since Lisa Larsen-Weidenbach took the women's title in 1985; the last American man to win was Greg Meyer in 1983.

Your Calling; Brethren (I Corinthians)
- R. J. Rushdoony
I Corinthians 1:26-31
- R. J. Rushdoony
Rev. R.J. Rushdoony (1916–2001), was a leading theologian, church/state expert, and author of numerous works on the application of Biblical law to society. He started the Chalcedon Foundation in 1965. His Institutes of Biblical Law (1973) began the contemporary theonomy movement which posits the validity of Biblical law as God's standard of obedience for all. He therefore saw God's law as the basis of the modern Christian response to the cultural decline, one he attributed to the church's false view of God's law being opposed to His grace. This broad Christian response he described as "Christian Reconstruction." He is credited with igniting the modern Christian school and homeschooling movements in the mid to late 20th century. He also traveled extensively lecturing and serving as an expert witness in numerous court cases regarding religious liberty. Many ministry and educational efforts that continue today, took their philosophical and Biblical roots from his lectures and books.

"They call me the Wolf," said the 25-year-old human smuggler sitting in front of me, sipping a Coke and stepping away for frequent cellphone calls.
"Everybody says we're the problem, but it's the reverse. The gringos don't want to get their hands dirty. So I bring them the Mexicans and Central Americans to do the dirty work for them," he says, smiling.
U.S. authorities claim that human smugglers like El Lobo (the wolf) are at the heart of the current border crisis because they have facilitated the travels of the 57,000 unaccompanied immigrant children who've been apprehended in South Texas since October.
"We cross them in inner tubes. If they're 3 or 4 years old, I have to cross them myself. I can't let them drown," he says.
The Wolf wears Reeboks with pink soles, a black polo shirt and a thin mustache. He's handsome in a bad-boy sort of way. We sit in an open-air lunchroom on a back street in Matamoros, across the river from Brownsville, Texas. He's explaining his rates: $2,500 from Chetumal, Mexico, all the way to Matamoros — 1,200 miles. The actual river crossing is another $500 to $1,000, "depending on the size of the kid."
The Wolf says he used to smuggle adults, but now he specializes in children because it's easier and just as profitable. First, his organization can take a group of Central American children in a bus through Mexico and more easily evade Mexican authorities, who are looking for adult immigrants to deport.
Second, once he crosses the Rio Grande he doesn't have to continue with the group to San Antonio or Houston — the most perilous part of the journey. "Children just give themselves up [to the Border Patrol]," he explains. "Adults have to flee."
In low tones, he confides that he is not part of the Gulf Cartel or Los Zetas, which control all river access on the Mexican side of the lower Rio Grande Valley. Like all freelance smugglers, to use the river he has to pay the cartel un derecho de piso, a user's fee, of 10 percent of the contract.
Federal border authorities demonize coyotes as ruthless criminals who kidnap, rape and abandon their clients. But it's more complicated than that. There are, to be sure, bad coyotes who do abuse their clients. But, as in any business, not everyone is the same.
Five years ago, I interviewed a petite, 29-year-old female coyote who worked out of Piedras Negras, Mexico, who was in high demand for her considerate treatment of her clients. This came to me from a local priest, who counted her among his congregation.
"Being known in the communities and having a good reputation matters," says David Spener, a sociologist at Trinity University in San Antonio, who has studied human smuggling networks along the U.S.-Mexico border. "I mean, would any parent in their right mind want to leave their child in the hands of Los Zetas?"
I ask El Lobo about the terrible reputation coyotes have in the media.
"We specialize in smuggling young kids — 13 and below," he explains. "The youngest we've smuggled was 2 years old. We have to make sure nothing happens to them, that they eat, that they're protected and they arrive well."
He continues, "We try to treat our clients well, and this helps to get us repeat business. If you have a good reputation, you get more work."

As the timing belt synchronizes engine processes, the serpentine belt powers peripheral processes in the engine compartment, like the power steering pump, water pump, cooling fan, air conditioner, and alternator. The serpentine belt receives its name from the snake-like path it takes through the various steering and electrical components it powers. Belt tension also plays an important role in serpentine belt maintenance. A properly tensioned belt helps promote long belt life while ensuring that all components are not overloaded or strained during operation. Serpentine belts are tough, built to sustain years of continued and heavy use, but they do have a natural life projected by every manufacturer. Periodic inspections of your serpentine belt will help prevent breakdowns, though replacing your serpentine belt is a natural part of overall car maintenance. If you suspect trouble with your serpentine belt, please give us a call or contact us for assistance.
Because your serpentine belt powers varying processes in the front of your engine, failure of the belt will result in failure of the other processes. If the serpentine belt fails to power the water pump, an important part of the cooling system, your engine could overheat and break down. Steering would also be impossible without a fully functioning belt. Regular inspections can keep your serpentine belt operating as intended. Visual inspections are the best way to detect early signs of serpentine belt issues, like frays and cracks. Trouble turning or steering at low speeds is another sign of possible belt failure. A loose belt can result in overheating, engine noise, or a dead battery. Manufacturers advise adhering to specific maintenance intervals for scheduling a serpentine belt replacement. When it's time to replace your serpentine belt, just give us a call or contact us online.

Traumatic Dental Injuries
While most traumatic dental injuries occur in children and teenagers, people of all ages can be affected, usually as a result of sports mishaps, automobile accidents, or bad falls. If you've experienced a traumatic dental injury it is important to visit your endodontist in order to determine any necessary treatment. Any dental injury, even if apparently mild, requires examination by a dentist or an endodontist immediately. Sometimes, neighboring teeth suffer an additional, unnoticed injury that will only be detected by a thorough dental exam.
Chipped or Fractured Teeth
Chipped teeth account for the majority of dental injuries. Most chipped or fractured tooth crowns can be repaired either by reattaching the broken piece or by placing a tooth-colored filling. If a significant portion of the tooth crown is broken off, an artificial crown or "cap" may be needed to restore the tooth.
Injuries in the back teeth often include fractured cusps, cracked teeth, or a more serious split tooth. If cracks extend into the root, root canal treatment and a full coverage crown may be needed to restore function to the tooth. Split teeth may require extraction.
Dislodged (Luxated) Teeth
During an injury, a tooth may be pushed sideways out of or into its socket. Your endodontist will reposition and stabilize your tooth. Root canal treatment is usually needed for permanent teeth that have been dislodged and should be started a few days following the injury.
Children between seven and 12 years old may not need root canal treatment, since teeth are still developing. For those patients, your endodontist will monitor the healing carefully and intervene immediately if any unfavorable changes appear.
Knocked-Out (Avulsed) Teeth
If a tooth is completely knocked out of your mouth, time is of the essence. The tooth should be handled very gently, avoiding touching the root surface itself. If it is dirty, quickly and gently rinse it in water. Do not use soap or any other cleaning agent, and never scrape or brush the tooth. If possible, the tooth should be placed back into its socket as soon as possible. The less time the tooth is out of its socket, the better the chance for saving it.
Once the tooth has been put back in its socket, your endodontist will evaluate it and will check for any other dental or facial injuries. If the tooth has not been placed back into its socket, your endodontist will clean it carefully and replace it. A stabilizing splint will be placed for a few weeks. Depending on the stage of root development, your endodontist may start root canal treatment a week or two later.
Root Fractures
A traumatic injury to the tooth may also result in a horizontal root fracture. The location of the fracture determines the long-term health of the tooth. If the fracture is close to the root tip, the chances for success are much better. The closer the fracture is to the gum line, the poorer the long-term success rate. Stabilization with a splint is sometimes required for a period of time.
Traumatic Dental Injuries in Children
Chipped primary (baby) teeth can be aesthetically restored. Dislodged primary teeth can, in rare cases, be repositioned. However, primary teeth that have been knocked out typically should not be replanted. This is because the replantation of a primary tooth may cause further and permanent damage to the underlying permanent tooth that is growing inside the bone.
Children's permanent teeth that are not fully developed at the time of the injury need special attention and careful follow-up, but not all of them will need root canal treatment. In an immature permanent tooth, the blood supply to the tooth and the presence of stem cells in the region may enable your endodontist to stimulate continued root growth.
Root Resorption
Resorption occurs when your body, through its own defense mechanisms, begins to reject your own tooth in response to the traumatic injury. Following the injury, you should return to your endodontist to have the tooth examined or treated at regular intervals to ensure that root resorption is not occurring and that surrounding tissues continue to heal.
With any traumatic dental injury, time is of the essence. Contact your endodontist immediately.

I was reading on a previous thread on how to look up your horses tail female line, which I of course I did
Mine is
and it says this...
Founder of Polish Female family nr 5.
Milordka was a grey, foaled in 1816 at Slawuta. Dr Skorkowski writes of accepting the strains of Milordka and Woloszka as Saklawi strains, because they showed the features of the Saklawi race to the highest degree.
Can anyone please tell me what significance this has (if any) as all those names mean nothing to me
Or anything else about tail female line in general.
Thank you

Hi Egbert
As per my pm I'm wondering if you would have a look at the pedigrees of my two Arabs? I'm interested in the characteristics (physical and non physical) that are passed on through the bloodlines and if my two are typical of their breeding. I have managed to pick up a few nuggets of information from this thread so far so hopefully the guesses I've made are correct.
The first one is
He is 14.3hds and has a tail female line linking back to Rodania via Rose of Sharon and I understand him to be a Keheilet Rodanieh. He is one of five, I think, and his brothers and sisters have all done well in hand and under saddle. They also vary in colour being grey and chestnut.
Kamar loves to be centre of attention and does sulk if he is not given the attention he feels he deserves. He is quite expressive with his facial expressions. I swear sometimes it is like he is trying to talk to you in English and he appears to understand everything you say to him even if he chooses to ignore it. He also has enough snort and blow for the in hand ring. Could this be partly to do with the crosses to Rodania I wonder?
Here is a picture of him under saddle last year. His disposition is very kind to children and he can sometimes be particular with adults, liking things to be done in a set way.
My second Arab is
He is larger being 15.1hds and has larger features such as his ears and larger head, shaped differently to Kamar (Ali's head shot is 5th from left on my sig pics). He links back to a tail female line of Ghazieh - according to allbreed. I am not sure what strain this makes him or the physical characteristics of his strain. His disposition at home is excellent, so laid back and chilled out. Could this be from the dam line Bint Helwa? I understand he has only one full brother that is slightly larger than him and he is grey and also has the same chilled outlook on life being very kind and gentle. Ali has thicker mane and tail hair in comparison to Kamar with a wave in it whereas Kamar's hair is straight. Ali's tail is also held very high most of the time - could almost be accused of gingering him. Having seen him under saddle he reminds me of a park horse in the way that he is very upright, ears forward and tail very high with lots power, however without the high knee action.
Ali is a stallion and I am wondering what would be a good cross for him although my motive for buying him was not to breed from. If I did decide to breed from him it makes me curious what you think he may pass on to his offspring and what I should look out for in a mare? I would probably want to look for a mating that was shorter in height and had a slightly more dished head. Ali's sire's full brother, Khaneesah, has also been noted for his kind temperament and so it will be interesting to see if you think this would theoretically be passed on being from the sires side.
Any information you have would be most welcome and appreciated.

Well, having never seen Cumbria Kaiser, would hope he is dominant for a pretty head and over all great conformation. Have you seen any of his foals? How are the legs? Heads? Overall balance? The blood suggests that pretty is definitely in the pedigree but when color is bred for alone...often the rules of great conformation, type, etc. are forgotten to achieve Black. So if you are satisfied that all the rules of conformation, type and temperament are met, you should have something lovely. But for color, they look almost as if they are outcrosses for each other. It may make for a wonderful pairing!

Her name is Panndora (vodafon kossack x hs pelagrina)She is very sweet but can be hot at times.Her conformation is good,good limbs,body and topline.The only thing I would say that could do with improving is the head and eye.She is quite a big winner so she isnt that bad!I have been thinking along the lines of Egyptian? if I could find one with a good head.Any suggestions welcomed.
Hi Jane,
When running her pedigree, it looks like two things...She is 1) a 3 year old with 2) heavy Polish blood through both sire and dam...You have to remember that the Polish lines tend to be rather plain to unattractive as 3 year olds and then bloom into absolutely spectacularly gorgeous 4-7 year olds. For some reason nothing looks quite right until they get over that 3 year old hump. Your girl is royally bred and can only imagine that as she matures she will steadily improve and by the time she is 7-knock everyone's socks off.
She is bred to be a major beauty in her own right...Now if she didn't have a good start-the dam was improperly fed/nurtured while Panndora was gestating or she was fed badly as a youngster-she might not live up to her pedigree. So, take a look at the list of stallions above, noted in the post to Moatside, particularly SG Latif Ibn Liana (he has a spectacular head and eye as does Charismma and several others) and you should have something rather notable to think about or look forward to!
Just as an aside...the most beautiful eyes seem to always come in via the Spanish bloodlines...Conversely heads are a matter of taste.

Hi Kim,
Have sent you a PM but think both boys are out of this world-the word 'jaw-dropping' comes to mind, and the farms and their owners are just fabulous!
Think that is one of the extra special treats of the UK farms....fabulous horses, eat off the floor facilities and super owners! Pure magic!
Posted - 02 May 2009 : 06:27:14 AM
Thank You!I am very happy with how she is maturing - easy to do and genuine.
An immpressive list of names - SG Latif Ibn Liana and Arastin are two that I had not seen- both are beautiful.
Lots to think about and lots of nice boys to see!
Posted - 02 May 2009 : 02:54:55 AM
Oh Kim, Well done and congratulations! That is quite an accomplishment first time out. Pearl looks wonderful. What I'd like to do is suggest a group of names to you and if you can, go see all the horses and the one that makes your heart sing loudest is the one you want to send her to. Am very pleased to read that you plan to keep the foal, too.
Espinho, WH Justice, WSA Charismma, Aarazi, Camargue Too, Arastin (or anything at Cullinghurst), H Tobago, Deriwtiv Gwyddion and there is a colt at Susan George's that I think is absolutely fabulous and out of Ali Khamsin/Ali Khamoud's dam: SG Latif Ibn Liana by Kz Ibreez x Liana El Shaklan. I saw him as a very beautiful if not exotic, ultra sweet, loving youngster and he blew me out of the water as did both sire and dam.
The wonderful aspect to your girl's pedigree is you could probably breed her to a Missouri Mule and have a splendid result.
Thank you for the photos, Kim, and please, keep us posted!

Hi Gari,
Last year you made the following comments on my Pearl
Hi Kim!
You did a great job! And what a fascinating pedigree! Very imaginative breeding...The sire O-Tejo is to Rabdan via the wonderful Anter, a gorgeous stallion known for his sweetness and loyalty...O-Tejo is a 3/4 straight Egyptian + Crabbet with the dam line tracing to the Blunts', Rodania, a Keheilan Ajuz of the Ibn Rodan-the single most successful dam line ever!
The dam, Mont Blanc is roughly 5/8's Crabbet, 1/4 Egyptian+++( some through Crabbet imports) and 1/8 Polish...with sire line to the Nazeer sire line stallion Ibn Moniet El Nefous, a renowned US straight Egyptian sire whose daughters are treasured worldwide. But the creme de la creme of the entire pedigree is the incredible dam line to Bint Helwa by the enormously successful reimport of the blood via Gara. This is the most exotic and successful of the Abbas Pasha, Seglawi Jedran lines and from this line emerged such greats as British, US National and World Champions as *Carmargue, *Simeon Shai and *FS Bengali, S Justadream, Shalie, Mustapha....
Your Christmas present should prove to be a great riding mare, loving, loyal and a terrific broodmare should you choose to breed her. Have any pictures? Would expect she is very pretty with a lot going for her so you might want to think in terms of showing her as well! In any event what a wonderful Christmas present!
We went out to a local show last weekend (1st time out) and she won the Anglo/Arab/PB and was Res Champ in-hand.
A couple of pics to show how she has matured
If I was to consider putting her in foal next year who would you recommend? The foal would be a keeper and a one off so I want to get it as right as I can!!
Posted - 06 Apr 2009 : 08:54:17 AM
Hi Vanbro,
Yes, your mare is pure in the strain Rodania but she has a very interesting pedigree. Half the strains are not Rodania when counting from the 5th generation...What is more compelling is that when one runs the pedigree one more generation, guess what? Rissalix is featured 7 times within 6 generations and the strength of this line comes from who? Azrek and Azrek - renowned for great motion but who also carried many traits along with that superb motion and Azrek was a Seglawi!
So when you say she doesn't look like a Rodania...Am not surprised. Besides her sweet temperament, and being a superb riding horse my guess is that she extraordinarily intelligent to the point you suspect that she sometimes is reading your mind and then wondering if you are losing yours, "no creature could be that smart!" Trust me she is!
I most emphatically do not believe in breeding pure in the strain as Rodania does dominate so profusely. It is one of the reasons I am so frequently advocating the crosses to the well known Seglawi lines...
What I'd like to see you do, since you do have such a superb individual...is pick out three stallions that make YOUR heart sing....and then lets analyze those pedigrees. If possible, try to pick non Rodania stallions...(If you were to put a gun to my head...for her pedigree, I'd probably suggest three stallions: Akhira in Scotland, Carmargue Too in Yorkshire, and either Tobago or Dervatiw Gwyddion tracing to the Harris import, Nufoud, said to be a Kuhailan Ajuz bred in Saudi Arabia.
Posted - 05 Apr 2009 : 11:29:12 PM
Hi 'Egbert'
I have an old mare , pure English, a rodania who does not look rodania type.
She is dark chesnut , high withers, long fine hair, fab topline and excellent tail carriage ,good length of neck and good legs and feet. Moves like dream. Her head is nice but not beautiful. Large but sharp ,inturned ears and a very slight dish which is disguised by an unusual blaze. She has a sweet temperament.
She is by Rassendyll (Azah x Tahzay) out of Banella ((Paguerra (Mikeno x Rudena) X Sayonara (Count Rapello x Rabiya))
So in looking for a stallion where do I go ?????( in the UK)
Do you believe in staying in the female tail strain ?
Posted - 02 Apr 2009 : 12:13:22 PM
Beyond a shadow of a doubt...you have an extraordinary mare whose character will be passed on to all her offspring. The general rule is: size and shape comes from the stallion...all else from the mare...(i.e., you should have little over which to be concerned...) Can't wait to see those photos!
Posted - 02 Apr 2009 : 08:59:46 AM
Hi Egbert - -thank you for your thoughts - very interesting. Photos are sparse yet (I only have a couple of her showing as a youngster) but as soon as the coat is out I will post one. She is a very special mare who is incredibly intuitive, loving, willing with a temperament to die, so I hope that carrys through in any offspring.
Posted - 01 Apr 2009 : 10:44:47 PM
Hi Sally,
If money is no object there are several that I would love to see cover your girl....You have, of course, a heavy Kuhailan mare despite the fact that 'dad' is pure in the strain Hamdani Simri...First choice would be WH Justice as he is a Seglawi and any issues he has will be corrected by your girl. I love his look and so far all the babies I've seen that he has sired. Emilusz-another fabulous Seglawi sired some breathtaking offspring for Jorgen and Britt Olsen's Oppreva Araber in Sweden. There are pictures on their website of babies to die for. He is very impressive. Then any of our favorite *Carmargues in the UK but first choice would be like Charismma, Ali Khamsin, Camargue Too. Espinho has to be spectacular but his dam line is to Estopa....so suspect you would have a pure in the strain Kuhailan Dajania.
You've a fabulously bred young lady there...would love to see pictures when you have a chance!
Posted - 01 Apr 2009 : 12:39:05 PM
Hi Egbert
I wonder if I can ask you a question re my mare I hope to put in foal in due course she is Palubnik X Queens Topaz (I am sure you know the breeding well!) however I wont be able to use my own stallion Plumbum (Balaton x Pantomima) for obvious reasons. What do you think would work well? I would be interested in your thoughts. It wont be for a couple of years as she has a ridden career first!
Thanks Sally
Posted - 01 Apr 2009 : 08:05:21 AM
Thank you, spirit!
Posted - 31 Mar 2009 : 4:18:58 PM
Thanks again Gari, I have also passed this information on to kate to cheer her up, shes feeling pretty rough at the minute.
Thank you. xxx
Posted - 31 Mar 2009 : 12:27:38 PM
Well, Spirit, Charismma, Maximus, Carmargue Too would be fun...WH Justice, FS Bengali, Magnum Gold would be great fun....and there are sons in the UK, too!
But again, think Tobago will add to the tremendous power, pretty and 'look at me' attitude...This mare isn't afraid of anything...She will think about things before she makes a decision about what to do and if you ask her she will come through for you....The old war mare lines that we know of-were simply incredibly courageous, intelligent and athletic...You have all that...Tobago is the frosting!
Posted - 30 Mar 2009 : 4:35:12 PM
Hi Gari, thanks for you reply, its very interesting. How amazing that she is related to war horses.
It was very hard to choose a stallion for my mare as there a so many wonderful stallions out there with so much quality. But I just love this boy and Tobago is really stamping his foals. I would love a filly as I would be keeping it to show in halter classes, then ridden, then join the breeding program. What do you think Tobago will add to her, obviously the idea is to improve on your mare when you are breeding.
This mare is so close to my heart that I couldn't wait any longer to breed from her as I needed to know I would be left with her legacy one day.
It will be so much fun choosing stallions for her in the future.
I do hope you are right about the powerhouse bit. I know Lynda (her breeder) always said she was given her name 'Ballerina' as she floated round the field like a dancer. Minette's foals have been known to all be very proud of themselves and true matriarch mares, this is definitely the case where Ballerina is concerned, she loves an audience and always looks like she should be parading a foal at her side.
Can you recommend any other stallions that would be suitable choices for the future, I had thought of AV Montoya as it would be a double Sasaki foal, and also I love LVA Maximus's Spanish lines.
All these lucky people with wonderful stallions.
Thank you Gari. Here are hopefully some pictures of bally. Im pretty useless as this picture business. click on the link to pictures if they dont work.
Posted - 30 Mar 2009 : 09:34:57 AM
Nice to read your words on Ballerina, Gari, as I bred her
she was top quality since the day she was born, she stayed with me until she was 5 years old, and although she was bred for ridden, she did give me a beautiful filly from WSA Charismma.
Good luck to her now owner and hope she has the foal she dreams of

If i was wanting to improve on this filly it would be her legs(not that they are bad) just that its one thing i would like to improve, I'm always very critical of my own horses! Also i don't have to use any of my boys i could send her to another stallion ...so any ideas of good crosses would be greatly appreciated!
The boys! Sorry i did try to link it to there pages on all pedigrees but it just wont for some reason!

Thanks in advance!
Hi Linda!
Wow...Think with that pedigree you could breed her to anything and have a spectacular result but my gut says that you need to go to Shamarillo El Shaklan. He is the one Seglawi of the three and there is the old rule of Seglawi on Kuhailan for spectacular results. Indira is a Kuhailan Dajania...
Would love to see a picture of her if at all possible. She must be so lovely. Also your boys are wonderfully bred! Would like to see pictures of them as well!
Posted - 30 Mar 2009 : 06:30:34 AM
Spirit! Well, the sire line will be Nazeer the dam line Rodania and a lot of Kuhailan in between...So this cross will be a powerhouse....Very showy is the first thing that emerges, stout yet refined, brilliant moving, first and foremost a show horse. Also if memory serves me well the mare Mifaria was supposed to be very beautiful in the flesh (the photo in All Breeds not doing her justice). All in all, think you will have a powerhouse cross.
Ballerina's sire Bambooki was a highly thought of predominately Spanish stallion, a Seglawi whose tail female traces back to the famous war mare, *Urfah over whom a battle was fought by the Bedu vs. Turkish soldiers as Homer Davenport was having her loaded into the ship! This was a mare who was coveted by all in the desert and her quality has been passed on for generations...as she is one of the winningest dam lines in the US...TC Anastasia was bred by Tom Chauncey, Polish/All American cross...Bambooki's sire is the great Sasaki, one of the most beautiful Spanish stallions to ever grace the USA. Sasaki is credited by the cognoscenti as being the main reason Magnum Psyche is so successful...as he is the sire of Magnum Psyche's dam, A Fancy Miracle...
Ballerina's dam, Minuette was a very successful show mare by the gorgeous, royally bred Silver Scenario and out of the Silver Sheen granddaughter, Mishna...All in all, Ballerina has to be great mare and wonderful broodmare.

Hi Gari, I asked for your opinion last year on one of mares breeding, She is by Arastin (Simeon Sadik/Arina) out of Monosterra (Monitor/Zaneta)and she is due in may to Om EL Bahreyn (CG Balih El Jamaal/Om EL Benedict), I've got a month to wait and I'm hoping it will be as lovely as you expected! I promise some pictures of mare and foal when it arrives as you asked last year.
On another note, one of my other mares is going to be inseminated next month and I would like to know what you think of the potential cross. As does the stallion owner, Kate, who is also very excited about it. It would also be wonderful to hear a little about her breeding as well if possible.
My mare is DF Ballerina -
The stallion is H Tobago -
Thank you Gari, much appreciated. x
Posted - 24 Mar 2009 : 11:21:16 AM
At some point in time I am going to have a *Rushan/*Carmargue stallion that will be out of this world...but until that time comes...Yup! Think a *Carmargue, sire line Naziri will be a wunderkind for you...But go meet some of the Carmargues...Look a the dams, like that of Charismma's, Bint Shantu Halima-a fabulous mare of extraordinary quality. Looking at your mare's dam line, I do feel strongly that you would do well with either a Seglawi or Menaghy dam line to capture the quality and enhance what you already have.
Now just as an aside and a real need to BRAG...*Rushan's son Diamond Ruler L, aka Rebel, out of an old Draper line mare (old respected breeder on the West Coast of the US) was on a 30 mile endurance ride when one of the riders became ill and had to be helicoptered out. Reb had never seen a helicopter before but only leaped over a piece of sage brush and otherwise maintained his composure! This is a 4 year old out on his first major ride! His owner is thrilled beyond words that he did so well! Me, too!

Jasper came into the world with a bang, viagra in a hulksmash explosion of blood and birthmatter and pain. And when they handed him to me – he, asthma as full and round and alert as a baby many times his age – he reached for me and clung and suckled with the same ferocious determination that had propelled him so explosively from my womb.
He clung to me and suckled and grew and grew and grew. I ached, and bled, pummelled and raw from his insistent thirst. I ached and bled, and loved.
I called him Truffler, because at night he would snort and burrow, seeking out my breast with his nose and mouth, never opening his eyes, never waking, just drinking, sucking, snorfling until he had his fill. In the light of day, eyes open, he would use his hands, grabbing and kneading and pinching and gazing up at me, an adorable little beastie, ravenous and innocent and impossibly, impossibly soft, and I would wonder: how can a creature that brings such pain inspire such tenderness? Why do I not push him away?
I could not push him away. I could no more push him away than I could tear through my ribcage and rip out my heart. And so I pulled him to me, time and again, and exulted in the soft curves of his fat baby legs and his rounded baby belly and his plush baby bum, and smiled through the pain and exhaustion and wished, fervently, that this would never end. I pulled him to me and clung to him and drank in his babyness like a draught, knowing, in my gut, that someday, I would miss this, crave this, yearn for this like the parched soul yearns for cool water. And so I drank it in, in big, greedy gulps, matching his thirst with my own.
Even when the exhaustion became unbearable, I resisted pulling away. Even when he started to bite, I resisted pulling away. I tottered and spun from the exhaustion; my breasts bled from his painful nips: still I perservered, determined to preserve this, his babyness, his need for me. Even when it hurt, this need, I clung to it, I clung to it, unwilling – unable? – to let go. That he refused bottles was, in my tired mind, a kind of victory: he would have only me. He wanted only me. His need kept him young; his need kept him mine.
I drank his need like a draught.
When he finally took a bottle – a good thing, I agreed with my husband, a good thing that he be able to get nourishment from someone other than me, a good thing that I could be separated from him for a night, a good thing that he not need me so relentlessly – I recognized the moment as a victory. I could sleep through the night. I could leave him for more than a few hours at a time. I could wear a bra that did not feature clip-up flaps. I could go a day without being bitten. I could reacquaint myself with my body as my own.
I could move – I can move, now – through the day and through the night without experiencing myself as an object of need. This is good. I love it; I celebrate it; I thank the gods for it. But is it wrong to say – even as I recognize that he will outgrow that need, even as I acknowledge that he must outgrow that need, even as I celebrate my freedom from that need – that I still need him, that I am thirsty for his need of me?
Is it wrong that I cling to his babyness like an infant to a breast, that, in moments, I must fight the urge to paw and truffle and cling, to bury my nose in the sweet, soft folds of his neck and whisper, you are mine? Is it wrong that I have moments of wanting to press him to me and wish ourselves back to the first months of his life, when his need was unquenchable, indisputable? Is it wrong that I have moments of wishing that I could freeze time here and keep him as he is, or as he was a few weeks ago, my needful creature? Is it wrong that while I celebrate, quietly, ambivalently, his weaning, I mourn the growth, the movement toward his independence from me that this weaning represents? Is it wrong that I wish, sometimes, that I could keep him like this, a baby, my baby, forever?
This is the way his babyhood ends, not with a bang but a whisper.

Introducing... The Spring Garden Tee for adults!
Since I came out with the original Spring Garden Tee for little girls last year, so many of you have requested a grown up version. I hope you like it!
The Adult Spring Garden Tee is reminiscent of the children's pattern, but includes some more sophisticated, mature styling details. I love the new wide scoop neckline and the delicate sleeves. I also added waist shaping and extended the length on this version.
The result is a basic, well-fitting tee that is elegant, feminine and flattering. I hope that you enjoy making and wearing it!
I knit this up out of Be Sweet Bamboo which is an exceptionally beautiful yarn. The slight color variation, sheen and drape make the piece lay so nicely and look so decadent. The Champagne color that I used is such a great neutral that can extend even into the cooler months. I think that this top will also serve as a great layering piece in the fall.
Here is the pattern information for all of you interested in knitting it:
28 [32, 36, 40, 44] (shown in size 32)
Chest: 28 [32, 36, 40, 44] inches (0 inches of positive ease)
Length: 20 [21, 22, 23, 24] inches from back neck after blocking
(Note: If using a 100% bamboo or silk yarn, please note that the garment will stretch with wear. If you are between sizes, it is advisable for you to choose the smaller size to ensure proper fit.)
Be Sweet Bamboo [100% Bamboo; 110 yd/100m per 50g skein]; color: Champagne #623; 5 [6, 8, 9, 10] skeins or approx 540 [660, 780, 910, 1040] yds of a dk weight bamboo or similar yarn.
1# 24" US #6/4mm circular needle for smaller sizes
1# 32" US #6/4mm circular needle for larger sizes
1# 24" US #5/3.75mm circular needle for neck and sleeve edging.
2 pieces of scrap yarn to serve as stitch holders
Tapestry needle
Stitch markers
24 sts/32 rows = 4" in stockinette stitch on size 6 needles
In case you are wondering.. No. I didn't lose weight, grow a few inches and dye my hair. :)
This lovely model is Julie Crawford from the amazing Knitted Bliss blog. (www.knittedbliss.com) She did a wonderful job and I am so pleased that she agreed to model for me.
Kits for the Adult Spring Garden Tee are available through One Planet Yarn and Fiber.

The NBA's Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace last year.
But the player known for being at the center of a 2004 brawl in the stands at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan showed Sunday that his new name doesn't mean he's changed all his wild ways.
World Peace, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, was ejected from a game against Oklahoma City after bashing the Thunder's James Harden in the side of his head with an elbow. Harden may have suffered a concussion. World Peace will likely be hit with a multi-games suspension.
World Peace apologized after the game, and said it was an "unintentional elbow."
