Cathy Crighton, 44, of Palos Park, was charged Saturday in Wellington, Fla., with two counts of grand theft and one count of dealing in stolen property, Palm Beach County authorities said. She was being held Monday at Palm Beach County Jail on $5,000 bail.
Crighton allegedly stole one of the horses, Keller, in October from an unlocked stable at Top Brass Horse Farm in unincorporated Palos Township.
Keller, a Swedish Warmblood, was found at a stable in Wellington, about 13 miles west of West Palm Beach, authorities said.
A Florida resident reportedly bought Keller from Crighton for $15,000. The horse was valued at $50,000.
Palm Beach County deputies arrested Crighton Saturday at another Wellington stable where they found San Diego, a dark gray gelding who had disappeared from a local paddock Jan. 22. His white legs and the white stripe on his face had been spray-painted with black Rustoleum paint.
Someone apparently saw Crighton spraying a horse and contacted authorities.
The paint caused blisters near the horse's nose and he could be permanently scarred, deputies said.
The horse reportedly was worth $100,000.
Scooby Doo, a 3-year-old Dutch Warmblood stolen Sept. 21 from Bordon Farms in Wilmington, was found in a stall next to San Diego. The horse also had paint on his legs and feet.
Crighton's veterinarian license, which she received in Illinois in 1996, expired Jan. 31, and she should not have been practicing, said Jeff Irwin, a technical assistant for the Illinois Department of Professional Regulations.
To renew her license, Crighton would have had to complete 20 hours of courses, Irwin said.
Kathy Fitzpatrick, owner of Fitzjoy Farm in Palos Park, said she worked with Crighton occasionally for about a year, and Crighton provided in-house vet services for horses at Fitzjoy.
Crighton had been argumentative with some of the boarders at Fitzjoy and seemed unhappy, Fitzpatrick said.
But Fitzpatrick was surprised by the charges.
"It didn't seem like she needed the money," she said. "It didn't seem like she needed the notoriety.
"I can't imagine she thought she'd get away with something like that," Fitzpatrick said. "No one could look at a horse and not know that it was painted."
Lea Ann Koch, president of the Illinois Quarter Horse Association, was alarmed by the news.
"It's astonishing to me that somebody would do that; plus (she's) a veterinarian," Koch said. "I have never really heard of anyone going into somebody's barn and taking a horse.
"I guess I've never seen someone gutsy enough, or stupid (enough) whatever you want to call it."
Allen Hoger, owner of Top Brass Horse Farm, said Crighton was contracted by some boarders who rent space at the stables.
No one answered the door Monday at Crighton's home, 11099 McCarthy Road. Her driveways were blocked with chains.
She is scheduled to appear in court March 31, Palm Beach County authorities said.
Keller and Scooby Doo reportedly are being shipped home this week.
Hoger said he was happy Keller's owner, Jolene Novak-Racevicius of New Lenox, would be reunited with her horse.
Novak-Racevicius couldn't be reached for comment Monday, but trainers and horse owners at Top Brass said Novak-Racevicius was happy her horse was found. They said she recently returned from a trip to Germany to buy a new horse.
Good find, and it's very interesting how this story has put her back in the light of that unsolved murder in Illinois.
Shake hands with my minky. <|:)~ Just don't paint it.
I would have to disagree from a very, very technical standpoint. Both have studbooks and although provisional registration is still available the Class I mares and Approved stallions are pretty much a closed set now. Both breeds are newer than say the Trakehner (which have been branded for years) or Hannoverian (which now requires six generations and the brand) but you can pick 'em out of a lineup.
Swedish Warmblood Registry Basics
I heard from my trainer that the Swedish studbook is going to be closed in the near future. She is very gung-ho about Hannoverians and Trakehners as 3-day event horses. (I am a T'bred person myself.)
This "vet" or "ex-vet" is clearly unhinged. Any old racetrack hot walker or any gypsy for that matter could tell you how to change the markings on a horse. Or "doctor" the teeth for that matter. And Rustoleum isn't how.
Yes, they come with papers. Each "approved" horse is assigned a number and the foals have breeding certificates issued at the time of foaling. Most of the warmblood breeds also get a brand - the Trakehners have a set of antlers on the shoulder, the Hannoverians a stylized "H".
If you don't have a breeding certificate or pedigree, I would think the horse would sell for 1/4 its value with "papers". You can sell a horse on "looks", movement and performance to some degree, but you will never get the money you could with the papers, because the pedigree gives breeding value. But this woman is so "out of it" that I don't think she even considered these factors. I mean -- Rustoleum???
Of course, papers can be faked for the gullible buyer . . .
They ARE big, and they ARE powerful. The Dutch Warmbloods have a strong farm horse (Gelderlander) background, so compared to the Swedish Warmbloods they are more harness-horse looking - although that's being bred out as the eventing horses are picking up the big money now.
The warmbloods as a whole don't seem to be as flighty as the Thoroughbreds, although you can always pick two horses out that prove the rule. One of my trainer's Trakehners is just evil-tempered (we blame it on her sire, the Olympic competitor Abdullah who was a notorious bad boy) and she also will get away from you competing or hunting, while my T'bred mare is incredibly tractable and reliable at all times and places. T'breds are also renowned for never giving up no matter what. If you pointed my mare at the barn she would try to scramble over it. (Maybe that means she's stupid, but you have to exercise judgment when riding a T'bred because she will go until she drops in her tracks.) Mine won't get there in a hurry, though, she's beautiful but she was sold off a racehorse farm as a yearling because it was already apparent that she couldn't catch cold.
There are some Russian horses, with a good deal of Arab blood, who have done pretty well in eventing, but it's not really an Arab discipline.
The warmbloods do extremely well in dressage, but the T'breds will often catch up in the cross country and the stadium jumping. At the highest levels, the best warmbloods are winning, but the T'breds are always there. At MY level (Tadpole - 2nd baby level) we don't do well in dressage because my girl doesn't have a lot of impulsion and fire on the flat, but we catch up in cross country and pull ahead in stadium. I was a hunter-jumper rider for years and years, so I'm most comfortable in the ring. My mare jumps like silk too, smoothly out of her stride and nicely balanced. Not fast, but her efficiency makes up a lot of time. And she has only refused with me once - at a really gnarly ditch combination that she had never seen the likes of before! (Partly my fault - I didn't like the looks of it either, and she knew it! We came around again and picked our way through.)
I'll let you off this time, Mr. White Man, but your risking a summons from the PC police for using an out-of-date sexist term. I suppose you still call Katherine Hepburn an "actress" instead of "actor".
As a real person she's entitled to be called a "murderer".
Hair dye works better, and isn't toxic. There were six different horses used in making "The Black Stallion", and they all needed a bit of "touch up" here and there. Of course, it's only a short-term fix.
I don't know much about designer warmbloods, except they cost a lot, and I don't see too many at the schooling-level local dressage shows. Some people think they're a "secret formula" for winning. Getting one cheap might seem a great deal, but the higher you go, the more paperwork you have to provide. Or maybe it's the same appeal that stolen art has for some people, where you can only enjoy it in secret.
A friend has an arab stallion, and is always afraid he'll be stolen because he's so friendly, and will gladly get in anyone's horse trailer. He associates horse trailers with fun things like dressage shows, and as a grey, he has no permanent distinctive markings except for a snip on his nose. She's still debating between getting him a lip tattoo or a biochip.
You're forgetting the feminine form that we can create with the "-ix" suffix, a la "dominatrix". In this case, I suggest "lunatrix"...
A useful word, besieged as we are by lunatrices.
Animal cruelty, theft, burglary, murder - the lady liked to dip her beak into a little of everything, I guess...
The EU required all British horse owners to apply biochips to their horses so they can be acceptable as meat for the French market. Another reason I hate the French.
But ya gotta watch your brand. Certain brands will turn horses green and all sorts of other weird colors not found in nature.
My horse is jet black except for one white heel and a few white hairs on her forehead in the shape of a crescent moon. She never raced (bwahahahaha) so she doesn't have a lip tattoo. She's always ready to load, 'cause she used to be a broodmare at one point in her checkered career so she always thinks when she sees a trailer that it's Time for Romance. I HAVE touched up her tail when it got too much sun . . . but I'll never tell how. :-D
Oh, what the heck. Here she is in all her glory:
Sorry about the saddle mark. She is a little down in the back, but then she's 16. It's amazing when I look at her how much she's bulked up in the chest and withers since we started doing dressage. Lot of muscle on her second thigh too.
Since I've never had to recolor a horse, I'll take your word for it. The closest I've come is using baby powder on the white parts of a certain snotty little pony at dressage shows, where he can roll on the grass, even when tied to the trailer, and magically get grass stains only on the white parts.
I try to keep one of those solar-block sheets on the mare all summer, because she fades BAD. I don't like to turn her out with a tail bandage on, so the top of her tail always turns brown. She does like the fly bonnet though.
I put my kids on tired old horses to learn - but my son the Speed Racer is now riding a little white half Welsh half Connemara - 'snotty' is her middle name. She is FAST and can jump the moon - most of the kids are afraid of her but my son doesn't care (one of the advantages of ADHD by the way). He got into a makeup class and just ASSUMED that he and the pony should be jumping the BIG fences - so here they come down the outside line with a 3'3" vertical at the end, and the pony and he sail over it, more or less together. We could see daylight under his pants, but he wound up back in the saddle and he and the pony cantered on. As Thelwell observed, it's just a case of who breaks who first . . .
Last week our trainer put my daughter on this amazing horse named Shade - he is half Percheron and half T'bred. He is HUGEOUS - I didn't stick him but he looks like at least 17.2 - pure Perche head and neck (thick neck, roman nose and kinda goofy look) but fairly fine body. He's very well coordinated but he's extremely strong. Fortunately he's a perfect gentleman and will stop when asked - my daughter is a tall girl but light, and she could no more stop him than she could pull a school bus. I was working in the ring, but I did catch a glimpse of five or six of the kids thundering around the lower pasture - I inquired afterwards and was told they were playing "pursuit of the Nazgul" - if I were pursued by THAT horse I think I'd just give up on the spot. Sort of like being chased by elephants.
And here runnin' with his best pony friend!
I wish she hadn't had her housecoat and curlers on, so to speak, when I took that picture. (We had also just been through three run-throughs of the Novice "C" dressage test and a jumping course, so she was absolutely pooped and it shows.) When I get her in frame in a nice extended trot she looks more "together", especially her back. (Hey, I'm sensitive about "broodmare droop" myself!) :-D
Here's a nice head study. She does have a classic T'bred head. (Even if her mouth is full of hay and she's in the process of taking a good big chomp.)
And of course he just shouts "ARAB!" at the top of his lungs. His legs look really really clean too.
I've never had much experience with Arabs, we don't see them much in the hunter world because they're a little short-backed to win in hunter conformation. (But my 16hh girl would look silly in an endurance trail ride, so it takes all kinds to make a world.)
And he is in great health still, I intend to have him for the rest of his days, and I hope to still have many more good years.
Here's one more! ;~D from our lunch break in the middle of a trail ride last year. (A little more belly on him here!)
I don't see any such droop on her! - She's beautiful!

Countdown to first ever Australian International Marine Conference
by MIAA on 17 May 2012
Marine 13, the first ever Australian international conference and exhibition for boating is now less than 12 months away.
President of the Boating Industries Alliance Australia (BIAA) Darren Vaux said that the recently announced partnership supported by the NSW government was the final tick to enable Sydney to host this major international event.
'We've wrapped existing marina and marine safety conferences into Marine13 and added a recreational boating stream. So we have finally created a single platform to drive forward the recreational boating agenda into the next decade. We are bringing together leaders from around the world in the streams of marinas, boating safety and recreational boating to deliver a program benefiting both the marine industry business sector and government agencies that are involved in recreational boating.'
Transport for NSW is the principal partner for the conference. Howard Glenn, from Transport's Office of Boating Safety & Maritime Affairs, said the conference would provide an ideal opportunity to deal with a range of topical safety issues from skipper responsibility to lifejackets.
'The value of sharing information and ideas cannot be underestimated, especially if it means helping to make boating safer and more enjoyable,' Mr Glenn said.
President of the Marina Industries Association of Australia (MIAA) Andrew Chapman said he has been buoyed by the extent of very positive industry feedback supporting this landmark event.
'The creation of Marine13 is a reflection of the growing cooperation and maturity of the marine sector in Australia. As with many industry sectors competing for the discretionary dollar, we need to cooperate to compete effectively in an increasingly global market. Attendance at Marine13 is a must for anyone serious about growing their business or involvement in the marine sector.'
Marine13 is scheduled to be held at the Sydney Convention and Entertainment Centre from 28 to 30 April 2013.

Sometimes, family are unable to help. Sometimes, they are too far away. I know
when my own parents reached an age where they needed help, they refused to
relocate to be closer to their children and grandchildren. We did what we
could; but you can't really check in every day when you're 700 miles
Also, it's nice for the elderly to get a chance to interact with people who are not family. A wider social circle is a good thing.

@ Sally: I could take the time off everyday to make sure my parents are taken
care of and have a healthy lunch - but then I would probably lose my job, which
would place me and my children on food stamps and make me unable to financially
help my parents in other ways.
Alternatively, I could spend my evenings with my parents and not be available to feed my children and help them with their homework.
Or, I could allow others the Christian opportunity of helping me and my family. I think I will go with that one.

I went to Montecito for one night. It is the picturesque lodge with a lake... for kids and adults. It was really a good experience for folks that know they are not going for luxuries... but for fun.
Quick notice before I go on. Expedia has a lower rate than if you call the lodge directly... However if you reserve through expedia, they will give you a cabin without a bathroom with 1 large bed and 2 sets of bunkbeds (for 4 people). The cabin will also have an amazing amount of spider webs. Just be aware of that and don't freak out.
The main problem is of course the lack of a bathroom and shower, not the spider webs.
If you call them on the phone the price will be slightly higher... but apparently you will have a bathroom in your cabin (maybe a shared bathroom) but a bathroom nonetheless.
As for the grounds...
Wow... I mean double wow..
My kids spent a lot of time "fishing" with nets and bits of bread. They had a lot of fun catching and releasing the fish. I went off on a canoe by myself, and at night the staff built a fire... and we roasted marshmallows.
It was perfect for my kids and I. I will probably end up going again. My kids even spotted deer coming to have a drink at the lake. It was a great time.

Utah State basketball: Aggies block upset attempt vs. Nicholls State (+video)
LOGAN — In what was once a 22-point blowout, Utah State held on in the final minutes to beat Nicholls State 79-72 on Thursday night in the Smith Spectrum.
Utah State had nine team blocks in the first half, led by senior forward Kyisean Reed who had four. Reed made 7 of 9 field goals to go along with 12 rebounds, four blocks and three steals to lead the Aggies.
"I just got position where I wanted the ball," said Reed, who scored a team-high 20 points. "It was pretty easy in the first half."
Nicholls State failed to score for a six-minute stretch in the first half, part of a 16-2 run which allowed the Aggies to take a 14-point lead with 8:17 before halftime in the annual holiday World Vision Challenge tournament.
The Aggies defense held the Colonels without a basket in the 1:30 in the half, which ended 43-22.
"I think we just had too big of a lead," Reed said.
Nicholls State came roaring back in the second half, led by guard T.J.
Carpenter. The freshman hit four 3s, including one with just fewer than four minutes in the second half to pull the Colonels within five. He drained a pair of foul shots a minute later to shrink the lead to three.
Junior guard Thomas Dantrell scored on back-to-back layups to keep the Colonels close, but Carpenter fouled out with 1:29 to play. He finished with 23 points, four assists and a steal.
Carpenter's fifth foul may have saved the Aggies. The Colonels scored just two points in the final 1:48, and Aggie junior guard Preston Medlin had an assist and drained two foul shots to help put the game out of reach.
Medlin finished with seven points, nearly half his season average.
Utah State head coach Stew Morrill said his Aggies were fortunate to win.
"We thought it was going to be easy, then (Carpenter) hits three 3s because we don't guard him," Morrill said. "We've got to grow up."
The Colonel's traditional leading scorer, senior guard Fred Hunter, scored 17 points — well below his season average of 25.3. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound guard went 7-16 from the field, grabbing 10 rebounds and two steals in 31 minutes of play.
Freshman point guard Marcel Davis led Utah State in assists with seven, but the Aggies stopped taking care of the ball in the second half, giving up 15 points from turnovers in the final 20 minutes.
"We're not the quickest team, so we have to be disciplined," Morrill said.
Utah State junior center Jarred Shaw finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds, but turned the ball over five times.
"We were up and just got lackadaisical," Shaw said. "If we do that in conference, we'll get beat pretty bad."
"To me it feels like we lost," he added. "We didn't play well at all."
Utah State will face UC Davis on Friday at 8 p.m. in the Spectrum.
"We'll move on," Reed said.
UC DAVIS 78, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS 70: Corey Hawkins scored 20 points and J.T. Adenrele added 18 points and 11 rebounds in leading UC Davis in the first game of the tournament.

Great site all round. So easy to use, with nice clear categories to click on and then the results came up so fast I was really pleased. They seems to have everything covered - all the types of accounts I can thinks of etc. The only slight criticism was that the pages looked quite busy, especially the home page etc but that is a small thing. Overall, I would definitely use again.

As far as having to restart the broker for that specific error, it would be a no, because the the clean up task is periodic and can handle failing everyone in a while.

iTunes Music Store sells one millionth video
Apple today announced that over one million videos (TV shows, music videos and Pixar short films) have been purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Music Store since they debuted on October 12th.
"Selling one million videos in less than 20 days strongly suggests there is a market for legal video downloads," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs. "Our next challenge is to broaden our content offerings, so that customers can enjoy watching more videos on their computers and new iPods."

I must say I'm surprised.. I really wasn't expecting it to catch on that much. Man, an added $2 million in sales in 20 days ;)
I probably would by a video or two, but thats virtually impossible on dialup. So I'll have to wait..
Posted by Josh on October 31, 2005 at 9:31 AM (CST)
Josh. It's "an added $20 million in sales in 19 days" :D.
This is very good news, and steve's take on this means we might see some more TV content quite soon.
Posted by webby on October 31, 2005 at 10:48 AM (CST)
Uh, 1 million videos x $2= $2 million dollars. If you're going to correct someone, do it with correct information.
Posted by ss on October 31, 2005 at 11:13 AM (CST)
Wow….gotta say I'm a lil surprised too. I've brought a few music vids, but no TV shows or anything just yet.
I Must say that I'm definately looking forward to the "broaden our content offerings" part! Can't wait to see how much more content we can download!
Do you think Apple might start selling movies over iTMS? Or would the file sizes just be too big…hmmm, perhaps if you could download chapters of a DVD at a time, though that qould be alot of hassle.
meh, perhaps when internet speeds increase and come at a decent price…
Posted by skd on October 31, 2005 at 12:10 PM (CST)
oops, well do I feel stupid! heh, I got the prices confused. :P
skd, the file sizes are not too big, you can download a 2 hours movie in two hours. (means you can just stream it)
Posted by webby on October 31, 2005 at 1:16 PM (CST)
I know it's not "all praise Jobs" Apple, but there a numerous DRM "download movie" sites already. Of course, virtually all only Windows. Amazing Apple gets all the attention because of the stupid iPod.
Posted by janx on October 31, 2005 at 3:49 PM (CST)
it's great news, impressive. however, of Apple won't increase video content coming quarter, it will be fallen. we need more TV shows, music videos.
Posted by archurban on October 31, 2005 at 4:05 PM (CST)
This is no surprise because the closest niche comparison is the PSP's UMD movie sales. The are more expensive than DVDs, with less content and usability. Yet, for some reason they are selling very well.
Though Apple does not have movies for sale, yet, when they do I bet we will see another million d/l sale in 20 days.
Kudos to Apple to for this success.
Posted by HuH on October 31, 2005 at 8:19 PM (CST)
i'm surprised too. i mean i bought two videos the day i got my iPod just so i can see wot video is like, but i honestly don't intend to buy anymore. but i guess people really like seeing music vids on their iPod.

Product Reviews
Sherman Craft5 Stars Out Of 5April 1, 2010Sherman CraftI am an avid reader who really enjoy books that speak the truth to real life issues. Perhaps there are many books on the market that do this and I certainly haven't read them all. nevertheless it would be hard for to believe that any of them does a better job than this one. That is none other than the bible. I believe anyone serious about becoming a better person, not just man, can gain a lot from this book that goes right to the heart of the issues without wasting time with a lot of fluff.

Men and women are different and businesses need to market to them differently. That's the controversial view of marketing expert Robert Craven, who believes firms which don't change their approach to marketing to women will get left behind. But it's not a view shared by all small-business owners, as we discover
Question: Are women different from men? Answer: Yes.
Do they behave differently when they are buying? Yes.
And if they are different, shouldn't we be marketing to them in a different way? Yes.
Enough of this equality and sexism nonsense, women are not the same as men. At last, I've said it!
(Spice Girls, 1996)If men and women behave and act differently from each other then maybe their approach to marketing and selling, and more importantly buying, is also different.
The women's market is an under-developed opportunity, possibly the number-one opportunity, for those who really understand what women really want.
Women are now the key decision-makers. Faith Popcorn, one of America's consumer trend experts, says: "Companies think they're marketing to women — who buy 80% of the products and control 80% of the money — but they're not. They're not talking to women. They don't know how to talk to women. Just like they have no clue what to give their wives for their birthdays. They really don't realise that women have a separate language and a separate way of being."
According to Martha Barletta, author of Marketing to Women, women are the primary decision-makers for consumer goods in 85% of households. They make 75% of decisions about buying new homes, and make 81% of the decisions about groceries. They influence at least 80% of all household spending.
(My Fair Lady, 1964)
All marketing professionals should focus their undivided attention on women. This is not simply a big business issue, this applies to you and how you do business with your customers.
Barletta explains how women reach purchasing decisions in a different way to men. "Men and women don't communicate in the same way, and they don't buy for the same reasons," she stresses. "He simply wants the transaction to take place. She's interested in creating a relationship. Every place women go they make connections… 91% of women say 'Advertisers don't understand us'."
Men dominate most industries and the advertising industry is no exception. Although roughly half of advertising staff are women, men monopolise the coveted creative positions.
Thankfully, rising female consumer power is changing the way that some businesses design, make and market products — and I have to say that this is more than just "making it in pink".
Female consumers want to know what the product is going to do for them. How will it help them or make their life easier? And how do women get this information? They do lots of research.
Women, as consumers, are clearly not a homogenous group that behave and act in a uniform way. Being patronising, smug or insincere will not get you more sales. Women will spend more with a brand that acknowledges their lifestyle.
It's important to think of each potential female buyer as an individual and focus on her needs. What stage of life is she at? How can your product make her life easier?
So, one lesson is that traditional sales-based advertising will be less effective and subtler ways of communicating might work better, such as word-of-mouth and viral marketing.
To go one stage further, it is time to design products (and marketing campaigns) that actually appeal to the buying needs and habits of women. There's a thought!
(Bob Dylan, 1964)
So the situation is as follows:
So, there's your opportunity. Do I have to spell it out to you? I don't think so.
This is not a feminist thing, but a straight-down-the-line commercial argument. Women are not a niche market or a minority — they have wallets and, for many businesses, women as decision-makers and consumers hold the key to future success.
(James Brown, 1963)
Men, stop singing those dodgy James Brown songs. Those businesses that do not change their male approach will get left behind. More importantly, some of your competitors will take the importance of communicating effectively with women on board - and will take business away from you.
So, what's to be done? Women are now the key decision-makers and purchasers to be courted. Ignore them at your peril.
Written by Robert Craven of The Directors' Centre.
"It's far too generic to split the whole population into two groups," says Elaine Clark, managing director of Cheap Accounting. "Different women have different needs and wants.
"They are all in different situations, depending on age and whether they have families and so on. If you focus on one type of woman, you risk alienating large sections of the female population and the male population as well. Everyone has demands on their time, for instance, even though we're not all necessarily juggling children and work. For many products and services, gender doesn't even come into it. You actually need to go deeper to find out what motivates your target market. Issues such as age, circumstances and pocket are often far more important."
"We believe you should market differently to women," say Annie Brooks and Hela Wozniak-Kay, co-founders of the women's business club, Sister Snog."Our business is focused exclusively on businesswomen and our marketing is tailored accordingly. What's different about our approach to networking for women is that there's nothing forced about it. In fact, we prefer the term 'connecting', because that's about building relationships. Although our members are all confident, savvy women used to standing up and presenting, we don't know anyone who actually enjoys doing the 60-second elevator pitch - so no formal pitches or podiums at Sister Snog. Nothing is prescriptive, everything is intuitive. It's about collaboration, not competition."
There is no one-size-fits-all guide to marketing to women. Every customer base is different, but here are some general dos and don'ts:

"I'm just feeling so happy and optimistic about my dating life," I told my friend as big, fat tear drops splattered onto my cheeks.
I had just finished reading the very sunny dating book, Meeting Your Half-Orange: An Utterly Upbeat Guide to Using Dating Optimism To Find Your Perfect Match" by Amy Spencer, and I was feeling, well, Utterly Dejected.
Not because I disliked the book.
On the contrary, I liked this book very much. In fact, in the dating and relationship oeuvre (pronounced rather Frenchily) that is chock full of really rotten and stupid guides for the single and perplexed, I give this one top marks.
To begin with, it does not put down its single readers nor advocate changing who we are. Instead, it is all about keeping our spirits up through positive thinking and visualization. And, in contrast to Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough, that recently caused a big buzz, Spencer tells us never to settle but to hold out for our "big, bad, wonderful love."
So that alone is worth its weight in gold. Plus, the author is likable. She is funny and smart and it is clear that she really has been there, which is comforting considering so many dating "experts" have never been single a moment in their lives.
And yet, at the end of the day, not even this nice and smart Amy Spencer has the formula for finding love.
She quotes experts and scientists, sure. And they have done studies that visualization works. But still, it's all just conjecture. As I always like to say, if someone in Auschwitz had conjured up some very vivid and rosy thoughts of flying away to freedom, would they not have been killed?
Which is another way of saying, I'm obsessed with the Holocaust.
No, which is another way of saying, we just don't know what the future will bring. Sure, being positive and optimistic makes everything, not just love, better. But who is to say that even if all the dating optimists quoted in the book who had found their one true love had remained determined pessimists that they still would not have met their matches?
I mean, all of these success stories are told in hindsight. And it is easy to look back and say, once I started smiling and was open to the universe, that is when I met my beshert!
In other words, people, I am done with all the dating books. Even the nice ones. From now on I am only reading books that are going to engage my mind and imagination – not give me another formula for finding love.
That I will just have to leave to fate.

The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
Although you make a great point that optimism won't automatically bring you what you want like your soulmate, I definitely think it can speed up the process.
Unless you train your brain to think this way, it's hard to fathom the concept of Laws of Attraction working. And if a person has already spent many of their years thinking pessimistically, fearing the process won't work for them, it's even harder to alter their mind. But not that it can't be done. Some victims of the Holocaust survived, and for an era where the Laws of Attraction was largely unknown, could it possibly be that some of these people were practicing optimism?

Purported next-gen iPhone home button has modified designA new component from the Far East is claimed to be a home button from Apple's sixth-generation iPhone, featuring a new, modified design.
The iPhone home buttons remain circular, but underneath the button they are attached to a more squared-off plastic piece. The black and white parts, advertised as a "home button key" for Apple's "iPhone 5," were discovered on Monday by AppleBitch.
While the purported iPhone parts suggest the next-generation device's home button will look largely the same as it always has, they also indicate that the component will be redesigned internally. That could support speculation that the next iPhone will be a redesigned model with an appearance different from the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
The original listing for the new iPhone home buttons at TVC-Mall.com notes that the design is different from the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4, with the round button in the center accompanied by a more square piece outside of it. It also noted that the black and white versions of the home button are identical.
The parts, if legitimate, suggest Apple is working on prototype models of its next-generation iPhone. In March it was said that Apple was reviewing potential components for the new iPhone, which is expected to be released this fall, one year after the iPhone 4S.
Rumors surrounding the next iPhone have picked up steam in recent weeks, as one report said the handset will feature Qualcomm's "MDM9615" LTE 4G chip for high-speed wireless connectivity. Reports have also claimed that the next iPhone will adopt in-cell touch panel technology, which will allow Apple to make the next iPhone thinner by 0.44 millimeters, or fit in a larger battery.
It has also been rumored that the next iPhone will have a metal back, replacing the glass back panel that has been utilized with the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. The alleged metal chassis has been compared to the aluminum backs Apple has created for the iPad.

Skip to comments.I'm conservative (oh yea uh-huh) and pro-gay marriage and I want your ZOT!
Posted on 08/03/2012 4:19:35 PM PDT by agooga
Being a hardcore constitutionalist, conservative, agnostic AND supporter of gay-marriage is not always easy. I usually take a lot of heat from both sides, and I'm used to that.
With the Chick-Fil-A situation, I see both sides of the issue. I support CFA and I support the idea of gay marriage. What I don't support are the tactics used by the left to bully, intimidate, mock, deride and create false narratives to achieve their goal.
I'm angry at the left for creating hatred. I see and hear a lot of it because I have so many gay and liberal friends, and I hate to see them so angry and hateful, and I hate to see them putting out all of that negativity into the world. I feel like it's pollution, seeping out of their mouths and fingertips, spreading and touching us all. I feel like it's hurting us all. I know it's hurting me.
Sometimes I try to explain this to them. I have many Christian friends who are for traditional marriage, and I RESPECT their point of view. I acknowledge the fact that thousands of years of customs and tradition, millions of years of evolution, and various types of traditional upbringing and church doctrine has deeply encoded the idea of man/woman relationships and man/woman marriage on almost all of us. Some of us have been able and willing to make the leap to their side and accept the gay lifestyle as valid, but many of us have not.
My pro-gay friends equate the gay rights struggle with the cvil rights struggle, and there are SOME parallels, but not as many as they would think. Slavery, segregation and other forms of racial discrimination were actually encoded in the laws of the time. There are no laws that currently discriminate against gay people-- the issue is simply that there are no laws that specifically countenance gay people, and the right to gay marriage.
Is there prejudice from some in the hetero community? Yes. Is this prejudice based on a belief in one's intellectual or physical superiority? No. It's based on an IDEA, essentially. It's often based on the principle of morality. Traditionalists think that gay people are "doing something wrong" or "doing something that is unnatural." Some heteros think that gay people choose this lifestyle and believe they can change themselves-- but choose not to as an act of rebellion. This is not true.
Gayness is imprinted, in my opinion, just as anti-gayness is imprinted. Neither are clear, conscious choices that we make-- they are largely made for us by our genetics, upbringing, culture or some combination.
I ask that you not hate gay people for this reason.
But I also directly ask gay people and their supporters not to hate you and TRY to understand why traditionalists feel uncomfortable, threatened and even repulsed by the gay lifestyle. And rather than trying to push traditionalists off the edge of the cliff, I ask my pro-gay friends to try to lead these skeptics away from the cliff with respect, tolerance and compassion. So far, this plea has fallen mostly on deaf ears.
I operate under no illusions that we can wave a magic wand and heal the wounds of our nation, largely inflicted by anarcho-radical leftwing 60's retread tactics. But is it just me, or does no one understand that the more you push with brute force, the more the other side digs in it's heels to resist?
Gay marriage will likely be reality in America soon. That issue will be settled in the SCOTUS and it will be all over in a soundbite released on a Friday night before the justices go on summer vacation. I am sure of that. But we still have to live with each other.
So my question is this: Have these words meant anything to you? And is it worth trying to help other people understand one another a little more? Or is it none of my (or anyone's) business?
Is this an intentional non-intentional opus, wrapped in an enigm...
"Well, I don't know about all of that, but he's gay Jim."
I agree with everything you just said.
The Homosexual Population can be best described as lowfat milk - Less Than 2%.
The Homosexual Agenda is only, ever has been, and simply about one single thing:
No one is ever born homosexual. There is no homosexual "gene". Homosexuals are recruited, or more accurately, corrupted. And the target recruiting pool is always young flesh.
found the same.
I asked a Doc about this and he told me about all the disease, how that think film from the prostate can be cut open to fecal but the pone which stuck out was when he said about a man sticking it into fecal matter and then having a man suck it off.
He said no matter how much they think they have cleaned their penis there could be fecal matter on that and over time that causes disease
you betcha!!!
Don;t shout about equality when they ignore other kinds of sham marriage.
Don't tell me love when I can love my dog or daughter or even kids but do not want sex or marry them..
Fact is that they put their whole life around their sexual turn on , parades, proud shirts special rights for them.
It's so surreal
Being a hardcore constitutionalist, conservative, agnostic AND supporter of gay-marriage is not always easy
***What is it with these bullshit conservatives?
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America.
One more time: FR's God-given Life & Liberty constitutional conservative activism agenda!!

There are no laws that currently discriminate against gay people— the issue is simply that there are no laws that specifically countenance gay people, and the right to gay marriage.
I fully agree! ...In particular, marriage is not a 'right'. It's like a driver license or hunting license; dependent on meeting the individual States' prerequisites to get approval of an application for marriage within each State. It is not a Federal issue in any way.
Thanks for your posting, as it showed a lot of thought on the matter on your part. ...I do, however, disagree with your comment that genetics plays a role in people turning to homosexuality.
I Nominate This For The New Undead Thread!
Do I Hear An Amen?
I second that demotion!
LOL. But to me more precise in their wording: Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans-gender (GLBT). Try GaLiBiTS. Or GLiBiTS. One of these acronyms should go viral! Yours sound funniest - but I'll go with The GLiBiTiteS. Har!
This argument is nothing more than using the heavy handed power of government to force others to do as you wish. That can not ever be described as conservative. That is CONFUSED.
Thank You!
What is it with the militant homosexuals? Had one on here last week that felt the need to tell me he wasn't a "breeder". That's what they like to call us.
Something like that normally wouldn't offend me, but they use it with such contempt.
Those idiots don't even realize that if not for "breeders", their stupid moronic asses wouldn't even exist. They would still be an egg or a squiggly spermatozoa looking at the wrong end.
Bwahahaha! Post of the day! That was awesome.

Bad summation. Agnostics don't "doubt God", they are just not sure. Atheists are the those who "doubt" a supreme being. Most of us agnostics hope for something behind the "big bang". Nobody knows, no matter what is written in words by various prophets. I personally believe in "divine design".
As for you chemical theory including procreation, well, humans have emotions, including empathy and sympathy. Those two emotions alone should be enough to not do unwarranted harm to others. I'm not sure there is a Biblical god (again, there may be), but I have enough empathy as to not want harm on others and also because I don't want the same harm to come to me or my loved ones.
Whether we came from a microbe in the seas, or from a tree in a garden, or from the microbe that was designed to evolve, my feelings wish no harm on others, unless they "trespass" on my superior species rights. And yes, we are superior no matter how we got here.
Yes, I can be an agnostic and still see what works for civilization. I firmly support Christians and Jews (except liberals) and the State of Israel. I served 11 years in the US Navy during the "cold war" to defend Israel and other peace-loving nations. I am 62 years old and I know what works and what doesn't for mankind. Age provides perspective.
You"re a G_d damn iodiotic moronic imbicile if you believe your own screed.
Finally banned/suspended.

>> supporter of gay-marriage
>> There are no laws that currently discriminate against gay people
So in your idiotic, juvenile sense of fairness, you'll support the persecution of those that refuse to partake and service the affairs of homosexuals?
Understanding is a whole lot different than rolling over and letting the Constitution be taken over and trashed by those who find a "right" for any society-destroying perversion. I prefer the old adage, "Love the sinner, hate the sin"; you can love and even respect those who are "different", but you don't have to buy into the crap that they're just as moral and upstanding as the next guy. If you were really a "hard core Constitutinalist", you would not condone the attitudes and movements that are designed to pervert and negate the Constitution.
I didnt invent it. It is going viral ;-)
The leftist trash are merely trying to redirect attention to the sideshow of gay marriage, much the same way that they redirected attention from Clinton's actual crimes onto Monica's blue dress.
Thanks TOL.
So my question is this: Have these words meant anything to you?Yeah. I want the two minutes of my life back I spent reading your crap!
If you decide to come back and read the replies, I suggest you read this http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm first. Pay attention to #s 18 - 26. The commies have taken over your mind.
Lacrew, you've got every single point of the gay issue 100% correct.
By the way...I still believe that it's a mental disorder, and that they're born that way.
Great post.
The really big decisions are reserved for you brainy types. I'll just continue to blather and pontificate about whirled peas and global economics lol! (Nobody listens anyway, so why not think big?)
How's it going? Still enjoying your new home? How's the Bride? (That's in order of appearance, not importance.)
As ever, you're onto something there, Mr. Civilizations!
Well, lessee... The Bride will be graduating and returning to open arms next Friday.
The older stepdaughter's birthday is today, and I'm treating her to a nice dinner tonight.
We had an issue with a leaking A/C pipe in the walls, and we've got drywall being laid up and painted this weekend.
We're watching the weather here, with two named tropical storms and another one warming up in the bullpen. More hurricane parties...
Sodom and Gomorrah
That is like saying many Christians are for the Bible. If someone is actually a Christian (meaning they have read the Bible and understand and follow it); they recognize night and day, wet and dry; and recognize what marriage means.
Not much to debate, you are or aren't.
"Uh oh, youve been told on by someone above me..."
Welcome to FR, a pro-God CONSERVATIVE website.
I see that you are unfamiliar with what a Conservative is.
FR is NOT a liberal debating society.
If you have a problem with this, perhaps you should address your concerns to the site owner?
Or perhaps you just like to whine about idiot pro-Homo trolls getting banned.
Graduating?????? Please do tell!!!!!!!!!!!
The Bride is about to graduate from the Police Academy. She is a serving JPO (Juvenile Probation Officer) and as such she's an Officer of the Court. When she graduates, she'll get her badge and credentials. I'm so proud of her I could explode!
Please offer her our congratulations!
My kids are now 18 and 20. I used to create homeschool lessons from these posts.
If I tried to do that now, the only thing they would learn that the correct response to an argument is to tell people to go to hell and to ban them.
Weve lost something wonderful.
You are learning . Never stop learning Marie .
I know we just past a full moon and are due for a blue one at end of month..
but really is that why everyone going off the deep end?
You can choose what hole you want to stick your peg into, one is evil, one is natural."
We disagree. Some people are born with 11 toes, some are born gay (IMHO). Doesn't make any of them normal, but I do believe some people are born gay. Remember before being gay was so popular - and the term was 'in the closet'. Even when there were enormous social presure against it, some people could not help themselves. Some people with OCD wash their hands until they're chapped. Some people really can't control themselves.
....being gay is still a disorder, though. And, like other mental disorders, there is a possibility of treatment.
I know that I am late to the party, but your post makes it clear that you have not core values. Most of your screed is clearly note thought about with any logic. You are emotional based and your post shows it...
Good riddance, well deserved zot!

Math 141: Calculus 2
Instructor: Joe Erickson (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Textbook: Calculus, 2nd Ed., by Briggs & Cochran
Term: Summer 2016
July 10 - Exam #2 and its key are in Resources now. Still waiting for most exams to come in from the various testing centers.
June 14 - Exam #1 and its key are in the Resources area of the site (link below). It is tagged as Exam 1E to distinguish it from Section N18's first exam. For Exam #2 it will once again be the case that calculators will not be allowed.
June 3 - The back side of Exam #1 will have the same list of formulas that was given on the Spring 2016 Exam #1. No other formula sheet will be allowed, and again, no calculators will be allowed during the exam. Expect the exam to take up to two hours to finish.
June 1 - As I said in the first mass mailing to everyone in the course, no calculators will be allowed on Exam #1.
May 26 - Section 7.4 of the Notes (linked to below) now has a little bit of content. The corresponding section in the textbook is Section 7.7. Hyperbolic functions appear frequently in applications, though the homework problems on the assignment sheet should make clear that we are not covering them in great depth.
May 24 - To be clear, this course does not use Canvas, and never will use Canvas. The use of MyMathLab is optional, as stated in the Orientation.
May 20 - Announcements for the 12-week summer online course will appear here. The syllabus for the course, which contains the Orientation, is to be found down below.

1998 Cadillac Seville STS 4dr Sedan
I have only owned sports cars, '95 Camaro Z28, '92 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, '04 MINI Cooper S. So for me to change to a luxury vehicle was a bit of a step. But this vehicle surprised me with its acceleration. I was hooked after the first drive. Comfort is great! It is hard to find a car that performs decently, and is comfortable. It doesn't handle very well, but I didn't buy it for that. I can't see myself with out a Caddilac & MINI. One for road trips, the other for beatin' up the streets!
Big comfortable seats, engine performance, all the standard features, the style, and trunk space.
Improve the gas mileage, I'm only getting 18 mpg. Improve the handling.
I love the ride, power, confort, style of the car. Things I don't like: It burns a quart of oil every 1,500 miles, have had problems with the heating and air controls from time to time.
Improve oil consumption problem and needs to use regular unleaded gas.
My 1989 Seville STS is my first Cadillac and I don't
think that it will be my last. I love it!
The seats are so comfortable, the
motor is very powerful, the ride is
very smooth and it looks very good.
Seats, Styling, Ride & Drive I don't
get fatigued driving it long distances.
More steering wheel mounted controls
(ie the information center) A touch
more rear seat leg room.
1998 Cadillac Seville SLS 4dr Sedan
The car is a real pleasure. Only
concern is electronic are a hit or
miss. Front bumper appears loose but
dealership(s) say that is the norm.
Styling and paint. The Crimson Red
Pearl! Beautiful color
My wife and I purchased this vehicle
used in 2000. We have had to replace
the drivers seat heater (the whole
cushion)that was warrantied. One
electric window motor; warrantied. Oil
changes are more than normal; the
Northstar V8 holds about 9 quarts of
oil. Great comfort and conveniences but
an expensive vehicle overall to
In Northern Maine, the four seat
heaters are a welcome feature. The Bose
stereo sounds great.
Electronics have been reminiscient of
old British cars; often in the shop for
small but expensive repairs.

joyfulgabby's Profile
I am a hair stylist in Southern California. I'm into all different mediums of art. I'm also into all different styles of clothing. Name any stereotypical look and I've probably done it. That's why my store is so diverse. I truly believe in freedom of expression through your clothing.
What you wear is not only a great outlet of expression but it gives people a glimpse of who you are. I try to make things for the confident and carefree women, because that's what I always strive for. I love bringing out the natural beauty in women.
Creating items for men is also a passion of mine. I have always found menswear fascinating; just ask my collection of ties. Some men find their wardrobe options to be quite limited. I hope to bring some diversity and custom made items for men that want more options.
My goal is to bring a…
