Sanguinetti seeks a 'Perfect' comeback in Sunday's $50,000 Budweiser Handicap | Emerald Downs
For the Reporter
Jockey Anne Sanguinetti could hardly wait to hear the good news Tuesday, when the doctors cleared her to return riding this weekend at Emerald Downs.
Sidelined three weeks with a sprained ankle, Sanguinetti returns Sunday to ride Governor's Handicap winner Why Not Be Perfect in the $50,000 Budweiser Handicap at one mile.
"Believe me, riding Why Not Be Perfect in the stakes was why I was so diligent on getting my ankle better," Sanguinetti said Thursday. "Jeff Metz asked me the other day who I'd pick if someone needed to take my place, and I told him nobody. I'm coming back."
Injured in a May 24 riding mishap, Sanguinetti has worked arduously for her return, icing her ankle up to six times a day and working out daily while the lower leg healed.
Fit and ready, Sanguinetti returns Saturday to work horses in the morning before her scheduled three mounts Sunday, including the big one on Why Not Be Perfect. In fact, a win would make the 7-year-old Kentucky-bred gelding a top contender for the $200,000 Longacres Mile (Grade 3) on Aug. 24.
In the Governor's, Why Not Be Perfect ran 6½ furlongs in a stakes-record and meet-fastest 1:13.72. The $59.80 win payoff was also a stakes-high at Emerald Downs, and Sanguinetti said she couldn't believe her mount was all but ignored at the windows.
"I think the only people that knew this horse could win were me and Jeff's team back at the barn," she said. "I couldn't have been more confident in a horse's chances."
Don't expect the betting public to be fooled again, as Why Not Be Perfect's odds will plummet to single digits and possibly even favoritism. One possible downside, however, could be the post-position, considering Why Not Be Perfect drew the rail for only the fourth time in his 50-race career, and has yet to win from the No.1 post.
"I don't like it much, but you make do with what you got," Sanguinetti said. "He's a big, strong horse and he's not afraid of anything, so he'll be OK."
Entering this week with 458 career wins, Sanguinetti has enjoyed several riding moments during her career, but none could be more satisfying than riding for her parents John and Christine Sanguinetti, who make up Why Not Be Perfect's ownership team*J.C. Racing Stable. According to Sanguinetti, who has ridden Why Not Be Perfect to four stakes wins in their 11 starts together, there is no added pressure despite the family connection.
"It's a lot easier riding for my parents than other owners," Sanguinetti said. "It's not like if I lose the race that they won't invite me home for dinner."
Stryker Phd begins comeback
Stryker Phd had a phenomenal season and earned numerous accolades last year at Emerald Downs – finishing runner-up in the Longacres Mile and three other stakes, winning the Muckleshoot Tribal Classic, and being named the Top Handicap Horse by the WTBOA and Top Washington-bred by Emerald Downs.
But as they say, that's all turf history. Sunday, the Bertrando gelding launches his 5-year-old campaign in a new barn with a new jockey aboard. Larry and Sharon Ross have taken over training duties from Margo Lloyd while Leslie Mawing takes over from Debbie Hoonan in the saddle.
"He's worked really well through this whole deal," Sharon Ross said Thursday. "We knew we weren't going to make the first stake, so we were training him towards making his first start at one mile, which for a guy like Stryker is not a big deal because he likes the longer distances anyway.
"He appears to have come out of his last work super. He's doing well, and I'm looking forward to running him. He was a young horse just figuring it out last year, but he showed a lot of talent. This year he's acting like a 5-year-old. He's got a lot of experience under his belt and he looks like an older horse."
Owned by Jim and Mona Hour, Stryker Phd has a record of 2-4-4 in 13 starts with earnings of $127,751.
• The Budweiser Handicap, race nine on a 10-race program, goes at 6:09 p.m.
• Sunday also is the traditional Father's Day Hat Giveaway with the first 7,000 paid admissions receiving free blue and green Emerald Downs' ball caps.
• The field for Sunday's $50,000 Budweiser Handicap (from the rail out, with handicap weights): Why Not Be Perfect, Anne Sanguinetti, 119 pounds; Dontmesswithkitten, Rocco Bowen, 115; Jebrica, Juan Gutierrez, 118; Mike Man's Gold, Javier Matias, 115; Hudson Landing, Gallyn Mitchell, 120; Mr. Bowling, David G. Lopez, 118; Twistgrips, Felipe Valdez, 116; Shooting Jacket, Eliska Kubinova, 116; Stryker Phd, Leslie Mawing, 118; Pepnic, Isaias Enriquez, 117.
Dancing Yodeler runs Sunday
The Emerald Racing Club is back in action Sunday, as Dancing Yodeler makes his second start for his 128-member ownership group in the second race for 3-year-olds and up at six furlongs.
In his first race for the Emerald Racing Club on June 1, Dancing Yodeler finished a game third under jockey Felipe Valdez for trainers Larry and Sharon Ross. The 6-year-old Swiss Yodeler gelding has a 10-13-7 record in 53 starts and lifetime earnings of $103,896.
"He came out of the race very, very well," Sharon Ross said. "He gets a little bored when he's not running, so he's going to like this two-week run back.
"I just have to jog him a few times in between races and he'll be ready to go. He should run really well unless it rains. He's a California boy and they don't like that wet stuff."
Country Rules heads Saturday feature
One of the track's hottest trainer/owner combinations swoops in for another score Saturday when Country Rules heads a field of eight allowance/optional claimers in the $21,000 feature race at 6 ½ furlongs.
Trainer Dan Markle and owners Sue and Tim Spooner are a combined 7-1-1 in 14 starts at the meet including a 1¼-length victory by Country Rules in a May 3 allowance at 5½ furlongs. In that race, Country Rules led gate-to-wire in a fast 1:02.72 for 5½ furlongs. A 4-year-old homebred by Tribal Rule-Country Whirl, Country Rules is 3-for-8 lifetime with earnings of $41,195.
"(Country Rules) hasn't run in about six weeks now," Markle said. "He's a pretty nice horse, but he's going to run with some bona fide racehorses Saturday."
Country Rules drew the outside post in a eight-horse field and faces a field loaded with speed, particularly I Keep Saying, a 5-year-old gelding that is 3-for-5 at 6½ furlongs, and My Chief, an undefeated 3-year-old gelding who faces older horses for the first time.
"That's a good cozy spot for him," Markle said of Country Rules' No. 8 post "There's three real good speedsters in there that don't use their breaks."
• Winning Machine makes his first start for trainer Howard Belvoir, who takes over training duties of the 8-year-old gelding from Frank Lucarelli. Winning Machine is nominated to Sunday's Budweiser Handicap, but will run in the allowance race and thus miss his first stakes event at Emerald Downs since the 2010 Mt. Rainier Handicap. Co-owner Dr. Raymond Kwik said Saturday's race is a gauge for future events.
• The field for Saturday's $21,000 feature race (from the rail out): Dogleft Left, Leslie Mawing, 115 pounds; Somewhere With You, Javier Matias, 115; I Keep Saying, Juan Gutierrez, 119; Disruption, Eliska Kubinova, 124; Rocky's Quest, Rocco Bowen, 119; Winning Machine, David G. Lopez, 124; My Chief, Louis Zacherle, 118; Country Rules, Jose Zunino, 119.
• Note: Dogleg Left, Somewhere With You and Rocky's Quest are reentered Sunday in an $18,900 allowance/optional claimer at one mile.
Weekly honors: Jockey-Javier Matias (8-2-1-3); Trainer-Dan Markle (2-2-0-0); Owner-Zola, James or Karen Proffitt (1-1-0-0); Groom-Julio Landeros (trainer Jim Penney); Washington-bred-Private Boss (breeder Ron & Nina Hagen). ... Leslie Mawing leads Rocco Bowen 34-31 in the jockeys' standings, but Bowen leads with two stakes victories*both aboard Stopshoppingdebbie. ... Stopshoppingdebbie earned an 82 Beyer for Sunday's victory in the Washington State Legislators Stakes, one point less than her victory in the May 11 Hastings Handicap. Her winning time of 1:14.20 for 6½ furlongs was fastest ever for a filly or mare at EmD, but only second fastest of the meet at 6 ½; Why Not Be Perfect won the May 18 Governor's Handicap in 1:13.72. ... Goin to the Window received a career-high 81 for her runner-up finish to stable mate Stopshoppingdebbie in the Washington State Legislators, and third-place Blueberry Smoothie was given a 76. ... Stopshoppingdebbie, Goin to the Window and Blueberry Smoothie have swept the top three spots in five stakes at Emerald Downs, and Markle said trainer Tom Wenzel deserves credit. "He's done a super job with Stopshoppingdebbie," Markle said of Wenzel. "Those three fillies, it's like a pack of wolves when he leads them over there." ... He's a Cruiser earned a career-high 73 Beyer for his meet-leading fourth victory last Saturday. The 5-year-old Raise the Bluff gelding has won for claiming prices of, in order, $5,000, $7,500, $10,000 and $15,000. ... Find Your Spot, a 3-year-old Nationhood filly last seen scoring a $52.20 upset at Santa Anita on Feb. 28, returns to action in Saturday's fourth race, an $18,900 allowance/optional claimer for 3-year-old fillies at 6½ furlongs. ... Saturday's third race, a $17,850 maiden special weight for 2-year-old fillies features several promising newcomers including Luck Out, half-sister to $328,000 earner Point of Reference, and Andiamo Deb, half-sister to Mike Man's Gold and No Flies On Doodle, winners of a combined seven stakes at Emerald Downs. ... Grants Pass begins its nine-day meet Saturday with a 10-race card at 1 p.m. ... Boyett, a 4-year-old gelding owned and bred by Dr. Rodney Orr, prevailed in a $60,000 allowance race on turf Thursday at Santa Anita. Boyett broke his maiden at Emerald Downs last year. ... Grants Pass begins its annual nine-day meet of Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horse racing Saturday at 1 p.m.

Hi ladies,
Some nice bras here, in small cup sizes. I haven't ordered any yet so can't give a personal recommendation. Some are "lightly padded" (good for those of us with the nipple highbeams), and there are a couple of sports bras with the shaping cups. Just thought I'd share! The prices are way more than I usually pay for these types, but not as high as other places I've seen, and these are real cute! (Note: this is a U.S. store.)

Great pics of Mena. I always thought her build was so sexy--and part of its appeal is that its not the typical "standard" of beauty for many (big breasts, no hips). Her chest is small but so hot, her hips and thighs a little meaty. But it's all sexy. She exudes confidence. I'm built a little like her--she inspires me!

I've finally gotten around to making a post after finding this site a few months ago...this site is great and I've shared it with another one of my small breasted girlfriends to help her through her bad days too...
Let's hope Playboy can use pics of beautiful women with small breasts. Let's hope.
I found this pic of Mena Suvari and thought of the Bust and this blog. Although it's from last year, she's hot and sexy and looks like a force to be reckoned with - all with beautiful small breasts. Just seeing this helps me too because I have a similar frame to her, except i have thicker legs than her.
Yep, our bodies come in all shapes and sizes, so true. My girlfriend and I always help each other out when we have our "weak" moments next to a woman or women who "out-bust" us. We're in our early 30's and it still sucks sometimes.

I checked out the Playboy link, too. It's interesting - I think Hugh Hefner has been a majorly negative force in terms of promoting a very narrow ideal for women's looks: blonde, big boobs, heavily made up. That's his thing and he's made no secret of it. Which of course it's fine to have individual preferences but in this case he built an entire industry out of selling his preference as the gold standard. I got no use for him, pfffttt.
On the other hand, I've always been amazed that even in Playboy, the bastion of big and fake, there are always small breasts that appear and are appreciated. Since they (the mag editors) certainly don't have to do that and they're not doing it to be a "positive social influence", I've always taken it to mean that even if they try, they can't stamp out or ignore the inherent sexiness of small breasts.

On the subject of 'breasts in vogue': I remember reading a Playboy article on this. http://www.playboy.com/girls/landingpages/...on-of-the-boob/ One thing the article really doesn't state is that all of these breast shapes have been existing in each era since...well, forever.
. . . I was a bit bummed that nobody responded to the photo of me that I posted, but if it's because BUST doesn't allow linking of personal images, I can take it down. It's really NBD, I just liked the photo since I was on vacation.

Thanks for the link! Cuban missile breasts in the 1960s, hah. Got to say, my eyebrows went up at this:
"Many historians have labeled the '00s as a lost decade. We'd like to remember it as a time when society found something againan appreciation for all boobs great and small."
What, really? I assumed that Playboy, et al, has been emphasizing bigger boobs at the expense of smaller ones, like the rest of our fucked up society.
nbdx, where'd you post your picture? I went back a few pages in this thread but couldn't find anything. I've been checking the Lounge only intermittently for the past several months, so there's a lot I'm sure I've missed.
Went to the San Francisco Pride Parade yesterday. So awesome to see topless women of all sizes dancing happily and un-selfconsciously (or at least, doing a good job of pretending to be). I hadn't really thought of it before, but their unselfconsciousness held a magnetism and beauty all its own.

I'm not saying it is written perfectly, but it's an interesting read to see what was fashionable. Yeah 90's! I don't know what's better, the playmates or the alternative music.
I've been somewhat 'grrr' toward my breasts the last month or so, but I feel that it will pass.

And they are so small that they are pointy-not round like a breast should be. im trying to console myself by trying to be healthy and make myself happy with the rest of my body, but i feel alot of pressure to go under the knife lately.
i know you know this buttercups, it is said in love: there is NO "SHOULD" in how your breasts look. they come in all shapes, and all sizes. many people don't even have a matched set. like anything else, certain aesthetics come into vogue, and then cycle back out; rounded orbs are probably much less common than saggy, pointy breasts, they're just what the media is seeking out right now. a lot of that look is a direct representation of implants. was this the thread with the post to that playboy retrospect? if you look back, you'll see many women with quite large breasts (at least from our perspective) which are QUITE pointy.
since, as i said, i know you know this, i want to encourage you to try to not entertain, to certainly not put into words, self-defeating thoughts that are untrue. with enough repetition you start to forget that they ARE untrue. one good method for combatting self-destructive thought patterns is to have some true things prepared to repeat to yourself when the negative ones pop up. didn't you once link to photos of yourself on here? i seem to remember being staggered at how freaking foxy you are. you are intelligent. you have such a sweet nature. and, erm, i don't remember the status of your relationship off the top of my head, but i do remember that your boy was quite happy with your body.
so, (((((((((buttercups)))))))))) remember you are loved and desirable, and not an unnatural freak. and sorry if i got too lecture-y; it's only cause i think you're worth it!

i usually go for the nighties without the cups, bc i don't fit in any cups or sexy corset tops like i wish i could.
Me too. I tend to go for anything just sheer and clingy. Waaaay back when, I actually ordered one of those bras that's not even really a bra--it's just kind of got the "shelf" bottom that holds up boobs & makes them perk out. Um.....no way did that do a dang thing for me!

hey starship, good for you getting some retail therapy! Sometimes thats all it takes to pull you out of the blues! I'm going to check out H&M, ive gotten some cute lingerie there that fit me when few other places did. i usually go for the nighties without the cups, bc i don't fit in any cups or sexy corset tops like i wish i could. i'm in a similar place as you, trying to accept my body, exercising to stay in shape so i feel somewhat better about myself, but having moments of just hating my body. i don't like how my breasts look naked either. they are spaced wayyyyy far apart- i can fit my whole hand inbetween them! And they are so small that they are pointy-not round like a breast should be. im trying to console myself by trying to be healthy and make myself happy with the rest of my body, but i feel alot of pressure to go under the knife lately. i hope i can resist, i wouldnt want to let any of you girls down. not like i have the funds now anyways!
on kind of a funnier note, my boss at my new job came up to me the other day and said "you're so tiny, you're the same size as my daughter, cept you've got way bigger boobs- she's not even an A cup!"
i was like "welllll i think me and your daughter have more in common than you think!" - guess my padding makes me look bigger than i think i do up there! Makes me laugh cause I bet in all actuality her daughter has way bigger boobs than me!

hey all, ive been pretty depressed recently so treated myself to a bit of retail therapy yesterday and even managed to get a few bras without it making me even more depressed. I got a really pretty pink and lilac bra and a bikini which were both size 34A from H&M (and in the sale!).I was suprised at how well they fitted me- their sizes must come up kinda small i think. I've never bought bras from H&M but it's definately going to be my new place to treat myself. I also got a really pretty pale blue set from primark in a 34a which i didnt think would fit me because it looked kindof big to me but it was only £4 and to die for so i got it anyway- and it fits!
Oh and good news for all UK busties- PRIMARK NOW STOCKS AA BRAS IN THE ADULTS LINGERIE DEPARTMENT!!! The £4 bra&knicker set that I bought came in 32aa. There were no 34aa(boo) and although theyre probably still aimed at teenagers (who want to be the same as grown ups and are no longer satisfied with cotton training bras) I still think it's good news and maybe in the future it'll be alot easier to get smaller bras in pretty designs on the high street:). I guess there's an upside of kids growing up too fast afterall...
About the bikini that i bought; the top came in cup sizes rather than clothing sizes which i found far more flattering than other bikinis ive had. it was padded, but not heavily as a lot of bras are now. It just had those flat foam inserts that you used to get. but even without lots of padding it gave me a good lift just from the design an cut. happy customer:)
On a less postive note- Whilst I'm happier & more comfortable with my body clothed/in my underwear, i still detest my breasts naked:(. I don't think it's just to do with the size, it's just the shape and everything. they dont look like breasts and just look lost on my ribcage. especially where I'm fair skinned so my nipples are quite pale too; i just feel as though you dont look at my chest and automatically think 'those are boobs' like you would with other women (of all sizes). gah
Nonetheless i have been making a conscious effort to wear unpadded bras more and only bottle out when i'm wearing something tight/clingy that makes my figure really obvious. baby steps!

hey busties,
i'm a small boobied girl and just wanted to pop in. i like my small bewbs but i've gotten so used to push up bras i feel self conscious "free balling it" now, and i never used to. does that happen to anyone else? i used to be so proud of the fact that i didn't need a bra to keep my girls under control, but now it's like i feel deflated without extra umph.
enfermera, i'd love to find a bathing suit that has an underwire, no padding. it seems like most bathing suits for small girls don't give any consideration to the bust, they just stretch a peice of fabric over and it squashes my chest. i don't like that. i'm thinking the new "retro" styles will be flattering though and i'm waiting to find a good one i can try on.
I'm not loaded, I'm just tired of being nice

still here i went to target today to try to find some new summery tops. most i tried on were too big, in the smallest size available, but i did buy this top, with the express purpose of wearing it sans bra. looks quite cute, too, if i do say so myself.
i definitely hear you on the bathing suit thing. so many stores only stock one or two or any given item in the right size for me, if it comes that small at all, and by the time i find it they're gone, so i face a store full of stuff that isn't even available to me. last year after much searching i finally got a cute set with a twisted bandeau top (with a removable halter strap, that i definitely use!) and sort of boy-short bottoms with cinched sides. i wouldn't have even thought of a bandeau top, but i liked the bottoms and it matched, so i tried it and it worked. boy shorts are hard to find, in my experience, but i think they help me look a little curvier. i'm just about to order another set; boy shorts and a halter top. i generally don't have a lot of luck with stuff fitting well, so i may quite likely end up sending it back, but we'll see.

where are my small busties? I miss you!
been in bathing suit shopping hell for the past few weeks. i think the problem is that i just hate trying them on, but then of course if i don't then they'll never fit. ive also let myself go lately bc i just got a new job and ive been working hard, no time for exercise- or at least that's my excuse since when i come home i just look for the couch. gotta get back in the game.
hope all is well with everyone <3

Jaffray, the AHL's All-Star captain who also wears the "C" for the St. John's IceCaps, scored in the final attempt of the AHL Live Breakaway Relay event to tie the score, then converted in the third sudden-death shootout round to give the AHL the win over their Swedish guests in the first part of the two-day 2014 AHL All-Star Classic.
Syracuse Crunch forward Brett Connolly converted on his attempt in the breakaway event.
Färjestad defenseman Magnus Nygren, a Montreal Canadiens prospect who began the 2013-14 season with the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs, shattered the event record in the CCM Hardest Shot competition with a blast of 104.6 miles per hour. Nygren also shared the Pepsi Accuracy Shooting title with Jaffray and the Bridgeport Sound Tigers' Ryan Strome; all three players hit four targets in six attempts.
Mike Hoffman of the Binghamton Senators won the CCM Fastest Skater event with a lap of 13.990 seconds, and Dustin Tokarski of the Hamilton Bulldogs was the CCM Top Goaltender with 16 saves on 24 attempts on the night.
The teams split the Sher-Wood Puck Control Relay, highlighted by 16-year-old FBK rookie Oliver Kylington outracing AHL scoring leader Travis Morin in their one-on-one heat.
The all-star game itself will be played 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Syracuse coach Rob Zettler is a co-coach of the AHL team.
The game can be seen locally on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel.

More progress, more work left for Granderson
I'm not in Toronto, as you can probably tell, but I went to Toledo for Granderson's rehab outing tonight. Facing Homer Bailey was a good way to get his timing going, and he managed a single and a double off of him. He still hasn't had to make a throw to a base on a play, and until that happens, he's worried about the arm strength. It's coming into place, but slowly.
Two more notes from Toledo:
- Francisco Cruceta is going to join the Mud Hens bullpen on Tuesday for his first real game competition with the Tigers, most likely throwing two innings. The reports were solid from his back-to-back appearances in extended spring training on Thursday and Friday, solid enough to warrant bringing him to Triple-A from the outset.
- Look for Michael Hollimon to join the Hens shortly, too. He's progressing from his separated shoulder down in Lakeland. His arrival in Toledo will give the Tigers some infield depth in case they need it.

I am pretty sure it is a .32 caliber of some sort, but there is a an awful lot of wear and tear on the gun's finish so it's hard to tell exactly what it is. I know it is a Smith and Wesson, and that this model is often refered to as a "lemon squeezer" because of the grip safety. I know it probably doesn't have much value because of the condition of the blueing(sp?), but it was given to me by a relative that was cleaning out his attic. Would anybody here risk shooting it with modern ammo? It seems to be fully funtional, but not sure if it would handle modern chamber pressures. Any other info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

INDIANAPOLIS – New England Patriots right tackle Sebastian Vollmer underwent surgery on his right knee Wednesday for what is being deemed a routine cleanup.
Vollmer, who can become a free agent in March, missed a Week 12 game against the Jets and visibly faded down the stretch after being one of the better tackles in the league early in the season.
The surgery, which was first reported by the Boston Herald, is the second operation that Vollmer has undergone in two seasons after having back surgery last year.
This operation is not considered to be serious and should not impact Vollmer's negotiations.

The future of Dumas Bay Centre | Federal Way letters
I would like to add to the Aug. 1 story about the future possibilities for Dumas Bay Centre.
Seven of us had met prior to the Town Hall meeting to explore ideas. We agreed that focusing on arts classes, for all ages and all disciplines, with overnight stays emphasized in one-, two- and three-week arts camps with public productions on the beautiful grounds at the end would deserve consideration. I also had investigated the possibility of funding for some capital improvements as well as programming, and found enthusiasm and a definite "yes" in support of potential funding.
We already have some groups interested in organizing these camps. Elder Hostel weeklong stays could offer everything from visual to instrumental classes. We are confident, should this be approved by the city council, there would be more funding we could pursue to improve the facility. A priority might be an elevator, since the bedrooms are upstairs.
Way back in 1994, in the Arts Commission's Community Cultural Plan, many of these ideas were stated, but never really pursued. At that point we identified it as a Community Cultural Arts School. Some of us who were involved then haven't changed our ideas. The marketing focus could be in that direction. We think it's unnecessary to try to compete on a resort type level, but "sell" it now for what it is, not for what it isn't.
I passed around a volunteer signup sheet, and was very pleased that 27 people want to be involved in future discussions on Dumas Bay Centre. We're ready and eager move forward.

text: From the Hallmark Channel Original Series "When Calls the Heart," cast members Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing get candid about their instantaneous connection during their audition. As seen in the first episode, the tension, attraction, and chemistry between the two characters shows potential to evolve into romance as the series progresses. Daniel, a native of Australia, explains how he mastered his American accent and flips the switch to give a sampling of a stateside dialect.

An increasing number of studies show that intensive parenting is bad for mothers and bad for children, yielding a generation of kids who lack the wings to fly. Why then do American families still have June Cleaver on a pedestal? Let's put an end to face time parenting and instead focus on how to be the best parent possible when we are with our children. Regardless of your constraints financial, time, or logistical – here are 8 gifts to give your children now:
image 1 of 9
1. The Gift of Empathy 2 of 9We all want our children to grow up with the ability to have close relationships and empathy is at the cornerstone. With that in mind, let's not be the parent who addresses their crying child with exasperation and says, "You're fine!" Instead, think back to the last time you felt sad or angry and shared your feelings. How would you have felt if the person you opened up to said, "Buck up." Just as you crave and need emotional validation, your child does too. Validating doesn't say to your child, "You are right." It says: "I have heard you. I understand your feelings."
2. The Gift of Unconditional Love 3 of 9I grew up in a family that said, "I love you" every day. My husband did not but it has since become important to him. Hearing and saying the words are not just an emotion they are an activity and integral to creating a safe, warm family culture. As Michele Borba explains, "'I love you' plants the most important message. Our kids need to develop those critical beliefs that say 'I'm a worthwhile person' and our words become their inner dialogue."
3. The Gift of Listening 4 of 9We feel we know what is best for our children so we tend to bring the "answer" to the conversation. Yet listening trumps solving. As life coach Martha Beck shared with me, the most important gift to a child is to show them: "I see you" for who you really are. Martha was sick in bed for much of her children's early years but she explains that she could still see them for who they were, and now as adults, they tell her that was all that really mattered.
4. The Gift of Happiness 5 of 9Research shows that optimistic people lead healthier and happier lives. If you don't see the glass half full today, shift your thinking for the sake of your child. Having a negative parent makes it harder for a child to have positive expectancy to believe that good things will happen to them. So the next time you catch yourself verbalizing your self-doubt or cynicism, turn it around for the sake of your audience.
5. The Gift of Peace 6 of 9Children sense their parents' stress. As much as you are worried about finances, your cat's injury, the angry client and what you will be scraping together for dinner, take a breath and refocus on the big picture for the sake of your innocent child. Exposure to an anxious parent leads to anxiety in children.
6. The Gift of a Strong Body Image 7 of 9If your child catches you loving your body, she will learn to love hers. A child's healthy body image comes with work. Never let her hear you criticizing your body or anyone else's. Shield her from spending time with families that talk about diet and weight loss. Curate your friends so that you surround her with positive body images and healthy talk. Intentionally point out beauty that comes in all shapes, colors and sizes. Give your child a head start on a healthy body image by pointing out what makes her beautiful her strength, her mind, her heart, and her smile.
7. The Gift of Self-Confidence 8 of 9When I interviewed successful and famous people for my internet talk show, Obsessed TV, 98% of them had one thing in common parents who made them believe they could be anything they set out to become; that whatever their dreams, they could achieve them with hard work. Make this your mantra.
8. The Gift of a Healthy Drive 9 of 9As a child, if I came home with a new test result, my mom would ask what grades the students sitting to my left and right had received. Yet when we are raised to compare to others, we are never fully satisfied with ourselves. By encouraging your child to achieve his personal best, you will be setting him up for a healthy attitude and a great definition of success.

There was good news along the Shore today as small bluefish on jigs bailed out the party boat fleet that's been struggling for blues of any size most of the summer.

Jimmy Elliott expects the fishing to get better after the full moon.
Capt. Joe Bogan, of Jamaica II from Brielle, had some fluke limits this morning while fishing on 60-to-70-foot depths, with many fish in the 3-to-5-pound class. Fernando Arrelano of East Bergen and Carter James from Bristol, Pa. had 7-pounders, and Pete Talevi boated a 6-pounder.

Capt. Jack Shea, of Rambunctious out of Barnegat Inlet reports fluke are piling up in the inlet where Tele Sudhakar boated a 7.8-pounder Friday while fishing with his wife Mindi and son Ray on their 33rd wedding anniversary. They caught 40 to 50 fluke that day. George Selph went through over 100 today to boat six keepers.
At Atlantic Highlands, the Fishermen reported good fluking action with an 8 1/2-pound pool winner. The night trip produced good croaker fishing last night.

text: I have a question about the above if anyone can help. It belonged to my father and he taught me and my older brothers how to shoot with it. It looks just like the old Peacemaker, gunfighter pistol, but it's .22 caliber and has simulated one grips. There is a small round, silver medallion on each side that says Colt on it. It's a great little gun and very accurate. I've inherited it and plan on teaching my daughter to shoot with it. Her Mom's .380 is too small for her and my .45 kicks too much and she hates the look of a snub-nosed 38. Not only did I marry a princess, I'm raising one! Anyway, just hoping somebody might be able to tell me a little history about it. I searched Colt's web pages but couldn't find it. Still looking though. John

To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation. What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to? Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are new and old motor vehicle dealers, motor vehicle air conditioning service stations, general automotive repair shops, and automotive repair shops not elsewhere classified. ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1617.07, OMB Control No. 2060-0247. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on May 31, 2012. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: Section 609 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Act) provides general guidelines for motor vehicle air conditioning (MVAC) refrigerant handling and MVAC servicing. It states that ``no person repairing or servicing motor vehicles for consideration may perform any service on a motor vehicle air conditioner involving the refrigerant for such air conditioner without properly using approved refrigerant recovery and/or recovery and recycling equipment (hereafter referred to as ``refrigerant handling equipment'') and no such person may perform such service unless such person has been properly trained and certified.'' In 1992, EPA developed the initial regulations under section 609 that were published in 57 FR 31242, and codified at 40 CFR Subpart B (Sec. 82.30 et seq.). The information required to be collected under the Section 609 regulations is currently approved for use through May 31, 2012. This statement is submitted to justify an extension of the approval of use of this information. Pursuant to new requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act, a notice was published in the Federal Register on June 9, 2008 (73 FR 32570), announcing the intent to extend the renewal of this Information Collection Request and requesting comment on the renewal. Descriptions of the recordkeeping and reporting requirements mandated by section 609 and delineated in 40 CFR 82 subpart B are summarized below in this section. Approved Refrigerant Handling Equipment: In accordance with Section 609(b)(2)(A), 40 CFR 82.36 requires that refrigerant handling equipment be certified by EPA or independent standards testing organization. Certification standards are particular to [[Page 26546]] the type of equipment and the refrigerant to be recovered, and must be consistent with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards for MVAC equipment. Approved independent standards testing organizations: Section 609(b)(2)(A) of the Act requires independent laboratory testing of refrigerant handling equipment to be certified by EPA. The Stratospheric Protection Division (SPD) requires independent laboratories to submit an application that documents: The organization's capacity to accurately test equipment compliance with applicable standards consistent with the SAE standards for handling refrigerant, an absence of conflict of interest or financial benefit based on test outcomes, and an agreement to allow EPA access to verify application information. Once an independent laboratory has been approved by EPA, the application is kept on file in the SPD. Two laboratories--Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and ETL Testing Laboratories--are currently approved to test refrigerant handling equipment. EPA does not anticipate that any organizations will apply to EPA in the future to become approved independent standards testing organizations. Therefore, annual hours and costs related to information submitted by these organizations have been eliminated. Technician training and certification: According to Section 609(b)(4) of the Act, automotive technicians are required to be trained and certified in the proper use of approved refrigerant handling equipment. Programs that perform technician training and certification activities must apply to the SPD for approval by submitting verification that its program meets EPA standards. The information requested is used by the SPD to guarantee a degree of uniformity in the testing programs for motor vehicle service technicians. Due to rapid developments in technology, the Agency requires that each approved technician certification program conducts periodic reviews and updates of test material, submitting a written summary of the review and program changes to EPA every two years. After the test has been approved by EPA, a hard copy remains on file with SPD. Currently, 19 testing programs are approved by EPA to train technicians in the proper use of refrigerant handling equipment. Five of these programs are designed specifically for individual company's own employees. Certification, reporting and recordkeeping: To facilitate enforcement under Section 609, EPA developed several recordkeeping requirements codified at 40 CFR 82.42(b). All required records must be retained on-site for a minimum of three years, unless otherwise indicated. According to Section 609(c) of the Act states that by January 1, 1992, no person may service any motor vehicle air conditioner without being properly trained and certified, nor without using properly approved refrigerant handling equipment. The regulation at 40 CFR 82.42(a) states that by January 1, 1993, each service provider must have submitted to EPA on a one-time basis a statement signed by the owner of the equipment or another responsible officer that provides the name of the equipment purchaser, the address of the service establishment where the equipment will be located, the manufacturer name, equipment model number, date of manufacture, and equipment serial number. The statement must also indicate that the equipment will be properly used in servicing motor vehicle air conditioners and that each individual authorized by the purchaser to perform service is property trained and certified. The information is used by EPA to verify compliance with Section 609 of the Act. Any person who owns approved refrigerant handling equipment must maintain records of the name and address of any facility to which refrigerant is sent. Additionally, any person who owns approved refrigerant handling equipment must retain records for a minimum of three years demonstrating that all persons authorized to operate the equipment are certified technicians. Finally, any person who sells or distributes a class I or class II refrigerant that is in a container of less than 20 pounds must verify that the purchaser is a properly trained and certified technician, unless the purchase of small containers is for resale only. In that case, the seller must obtain a written statement from the purchaser that the containers are for resale only, and must indicate the purchaser's name and business address. When a certified technician purchases small containers of refrigerant for servicing motor vehicles, the seller must have a reasonable basis for believing the accuracy of the information presented by the purchaser. In all cases, the seller must display a sign where sales occur that states the certification requirements for purchasers. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.13 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 52,721. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated total annual burden hours: 4,522.5 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $35,313.59. This includes an estimated burden cost of $35,313.59 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval? There is a decrease of 2,114 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. There are two reasons for this decrease in burden hours. In 2008, it was estimated that there would be 1,370 purchases of small containers of class I and class II refrigerant for resale only by uncertified purchasers. It is estimated that at the time (in 2008), there were an estimated 3 million R-12 MVACs on the road. Today, it is estimated that there are only 600 thousand R-12 MVACs on the road, or roughly 2.4 million or 80% less than there were in 2008. Therefore, to account for the decreased market for small containers of CFC-12 refrigerant, this ICR estimates that the number of purchases for resale only by uncertified purchasers of small cans will be 80% less than in 2008, or approximately 274 purchases. The second reason the burden hours have decreased is that CFC-12 refrigerant sent off-site for reclamation to an approved refrigerant reclaimed by owners of refrigerant recycling equipment certified under 40 CFR 82.36(a) has decreased and is [[Page 26547]] anticipated to continue decreasing due to the significant decline of CFC-12 vehicles on road. The third reason the burden hours have decreased is that there are less approved technician certification programs in business than in the previous ICR. However, EPA anticipates a slow increase of one organization approval per year as new alternative refrigerants become available and new businesses become interested in certifying technicians for MVAC servicing for consideration. What is the next step in the process for this ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Dated: April 26, 2012.

ANN ARBOR -- When Michael Schofield picked up his phone Friday night, the man at the other end of the line was a football legend.
"Hey Michael, it's John Elway ... can you hear me?"
Schofield, the former Michigan right tackle, surrounded himself with roughly 70 family members at his parents' home in Orland Park, Ill. on Friday night hoping to hear his name called in the NFL draft.
It happened.
And when Elway, the Denver Broncos legendary Hall of Fame former quarterback and current general manager, phoned to give him the news, the jubilation was too loud to comprehend.
"He can't even hear," Elway joked in a live video shot by the team.
The Broncos took Schofield with the 31st pick in the third round of the 2014 NFL draft on Friday, giving Michigan a pair of selections in the first two days of the draft after ex-Wolverine left tackle Taylor Lewan went No. 11 overall to the Tennessee Titans on Thursday.
Schofield will join a franchise in Denver that fell short in the Super Bowl a year ago, and is expected to compete for a title once again this season with Peyton Manning back under center.
In the end, Schofield got exactly what he wanted -- he was taken on the second day of the draft, and he's headed to a team that's ready to win right now.
"This is the best possible situation (anyone could ask for)," Schofield said on a teleconference with reporters. "That's everyone's dream coming into the NFL right into Super Bowl contention.
"Especially with an organization like the Broncos, and a quarterback like Peyton Manning. It's a dream come true."
The call from Elway was not exactly an expected one for Schofield, who said he spoke and met with several NFL teams over the past four months. Denver really wasn't one of them.
But in the end, it was a team he was thrilled to be a part of.
"I actually didn't talk to the Broncos that much, I had a conversation with them here or there, but I talked with other teams many more times," he said. "It was kind of a shock.
"But I'm so excited."
Schofield's fit in Denver could be at multiple positions, as Elway explained that the ex-Michigan starter's versatility was one of the main reasons the Broncos pulled the trigger in the third round.
At Michigan, Schofield started the final 26 games of his career at right tackle. But as a sophomore in 2011, he started 10 games at guard -- helping the Wolverines to 11 wins and a Sugar Bowl victory.
Denver started fourth-year lineman Orlando Franklin at right tackle in 15 games a year ago, but has also tinkered with moving him inside to guard.
The Broncos see Schofield as a similar swing-type player.
Elway explained that Schofield will start out at right tackle in Denver, but will also get a look at guard. Either way, he'll have the opportunity to compete for a starting spot.
"He's a guy that's very versatile," Elway said. "He's a big guy that has a lot of upside. He's still young, we believe he can still grow. He's 6-foot-6, 300 now, and we think he has the ability to get bigger and stronger.
"He can play guard and tackle, and he'll bring great competition to the offensive line."

NKSDs Catherine Ahl says thats all
After nearly eight years of service to the teachers, students and staff of the North Kitsap School District, board member Catherine Ahl wont be returning to her post on the North Kitsap School Board in 2008.
Ahl, whos been North Kitsaps legislative representative for six years and served as board president for the other two, announced last week that she wont seek a third term.
While she said she enjoyed her time serving the community, its time for her to move on, Ahl said.
I am tired. I think eight years is long enough, she said. Its time to get some new blood in there.
Her final meeting as a board member will be in December.
There is still so much work to be done (in the next eight months), she said. I havent had a chance to reflect on it yet.
In November, three school board positions will be up for grabs. Citizens interested in the slots must file for office by June 4 as the primary election will be Aug. 21 this year.
I would like to encourage those who care about our childrens education to consider serving their community by running for a school board position, Ahl said. I served on the school board with some really great people. Thats what I enjoyed the most over the years.
Ahl said the highlight of her time on the board was when the a capital bond was passed in 2001.
Our community came together and showed their support for all of the schools in the district, she said. It was a lot of work. Passing it with 63 percent of the votes was huge.
NKSD board president Melanie Mohler has been Ahls colleague for the last 18 months and noted how intense Ahl is about making a difference in lives of children.
Her passion is all about the kids. She cares about what is best for all kids, Mohler said. Catherine works diligently to make sure the decisions she makes are based on that. Shes a wonderful person who displays tremendous direction and focus.
Mohler said Ahl was someone she could turn to, if she was ever in need of an answer or an opinion.
Catherines been a great mentor that I could always call on to share my concerns with, she said. Even if we didnt agree on issues we could always talk about it. I appreciated that. It was honor serving with her on the board.
NKSD board member Dan Delaney said he has also enjoyed working with Ahl.
Catherine always has been good to work with, Delaney said. Shes a dedicated person whos a very hard worker. Shes stuck with the job on the school board for eight years. That requires a lot of commitment.
Delaney said Ahl was instrumental in helping ensure the public supported school levies during her tenure.
While she was on the board, two levies were passed, he said. She did a lot of work on those levies to help get them passed for our students.
The two agreed that Ahls cognitive abilities are evident in every single board meeting.
Catherine is very conscientious. Especially when it comes to budgeting issues, Delaney said. Shes very concerned about the welfare of all students. Each students welfare is first and foremost in her mind.

Hello, you have reached the voicemail of Rich Roat...
I played a little hookey today and tagged along with my sister as she dropped off a bike to have couplers installed and get measured for a custom mountain bike at Bilenky Cycle Works in north Philly. What started as an innocent ride up I-95 ended with feelings of jealousy for these guys who get to braze, grind, weld, wrench and relish the Phil Wood grease that must certainly gather under their fingernails. If you're in the market for a bike, and you will be as fossil fuels become scarce and your carbon footprint wakes you up in a hot globally warmed sweat, make sure you track down your local artisan frame builder instead of plopping down your already overworked high-interest charge card on a far-east-built generic brand two wheeled harbinger of our disintegrating economy. You'll spend the same money for something with a character increase of 1056% that'll deliver you to the corner coöperatively-grown coffee roaster with more comfort and panache that you ever thought possible. And it doesn't need to be locked because the rest of the venti triple frappuccino-drinking bored haus herren will never appreciate the eclectic paint job and goofy cork bar ends. Sure your ass will hurt as it breaks in the thick hard leather of your new Brooks B-17, but that expensive spinning class and low-impact boxing aerobics session will no longer take valuable hours out of those lap-frying evenings of trying to lay out a client's corporate capabilities brochure on your new Macbook Pro delivered straight from the Apple Store via Fedex's Shanghai Express. The moral of the story? Drink grass-fed milk, license your fonts at independent font foundries like House Industries and spend your post-apocalyptic transportation dollars at your local independent bicycle fabricator.
The horse welcomes you to Bilenky

To ensure happy, successful life-long adoptions for cats and adopters alike, CAT adopts according to the policies below.
Indoor-Only: Because cats live much longer, safer lives indoors, CAT adopts to indoor-only homes.
In rare cases (typically when cats have persistent behavioral problems, such as inappropriate elimination, for which CAT veterinary staff have found no physical cause), cats may be approved to go to an indoor/outdoor home. Those adopting cats designated for possible indoor/outdoor homes go through CAT's normal adoption process and sign a contract specific to indoor/outdoor situations.
Declawing: CAT asks adopters not to declaw adopted cats. Your adoption counselor can provide information about the detriments of declawing, humane alternatives, and how to train a cat to use a scratching post.
For adopters looking for declawed cats, there are almost always previously declawed cats at CAT awaiting adoption.
Kittens: Kittens must be 8-10 weeks old before they are available for adoption. This ensures that kittens receive a strong, healthy start in life and minimizes behavior problems because they are fully weaned and litter box trained. All kittens are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
Kittens under six weeks of age are listed on CAT's foster care list but are not available for viewing.
FIV+ Cats: CAT has a small number of FIV+ cats available for adoption. These cats can live relatively long and healthy lives in an indoor, low-stress environment. Because there is a risk of FIV transmission to other cats, the adoption of FIV-positive cats into homes with FIV-negative cats is done on a case-by-case basis. In some instances, FIV-positive cats may be required to be adopted as only cats or share homes only with cats who are also FIV-positive. (FIV is contagious only between cats; humans, dogs, and other non-feline pets cannot contract the disease.)
Renting with Cats: Since we want to make lifelong placements for our cats, we ask that adopters make sure their landlord allows cats and to pay any pet deposits in advance of adopting.
Cats as Gifts: CAT has gift certificates available for those wishing to give a gift adoption. Please note that adopters (the adult or adults with whom the cat will live) must meet with a cat or kitten prior to adoption; choosing a cat is a very personal decision and plays an important role in making a lifelong commitment to a new family member.
Shipping of Cats: We ask adopters to meet with and get to know the cats or kittens prior to adoption. Therefore, we do not ship cats or kittens.
Adoption of Black Cats around Halloween: For the several years, the Cat Adoption Team has not put a halt to the adoption of black cats on Halloween. CAT's adoption counselors are just as vigilant and informative with potential adopters, as they always are, up to and through Halloween. Black or mostly black cats make up the majority of felines available for adoption at the shelter so it doesn't make sense to exclude the shelter's largest population from a chance at a home. There has been no evidence that black cats adopted from shelters are used for mischief in the Portland area over Halloween. From the Oregon Humane Society web site: "Up to and through Halloween, the Oregon Humane Society will be adopting out black cats, black dogs, and even black rats (along with all the other color mixes pets). OHS Humane Investigators assure us that there are no problems for black cats during this time of year and OHS's adoption procedures and policies are in place to make sure all animals go to loving families." CAT joins with other animal shelters in the Portland area and across the country by offering an opportunity for folks to fall in love with black cats any time of the year, including Halloween.

Accused drug trafficker Kyle Fredericks will remain in jail until his trial continues in early 2013.
Fredericks, 22, of Somerset, is facing charges of trafficking hydromorphone, criminal negligence causing death, escaping custody and failing to comply with the conditions of an undertaking.
In custody since Sept. 28, when he was re-arrested after escaping from police for a second time in as many months, Fredericks attended a pre-trial conference before Judge Claudine MacDonald on Nov. 21 in Kentville provincial court.
Fredericks was charged earlier this year with criminal negligence and drug trafficking in the death of 21-year-old Joshua Graves, who died of an overdose after mixing alcohol and prescription drugs at a house party in Cambridge on March 18, 2011.
Fredericks, who allegedly provided Graves with the drugs, has a previous conviction for drug trafficking. He is the first person in Nova Scotia to face criminal negligence causing death charges in connection with a drug-related death.
During his Nov. 21 court appearance, all matters were adjudicated to Jan. 8, 9 and 10, when Frederick's trial is scheduled to continue. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
